To be or not to be. Outside the Bible (圣经), these six words are the most famous in all the 1 of the world. They were 2 by Hamlet when he was thinking aloud, and they are the most famous words in Shakespeare's because Hamlet was speaking not only for himself but also for every 3 man and woman. To be or not to be, to live or not to live, to live 4 and abundantly and eagerly, or to live dully and meanly and scarcely. A philosopher once wanted to know 5 he was alive or not, which is a good question for everyone to put to himself 6 . He answered it by saying, "I think, 7 I am." But the best 8 of existence ever seen was given by another philosopher who said, "To be is to be in 9 ." If this is true, then the more relations a living thing has, the more it is alive To live abundantly means simply to 10 the range and intensity of our relations. 11 we are so used to loving our routine. But apart from our regular 12 , how much are we alive? If you are 13 only on your regular occupation, you are alive only to that extent. If 14 things are not concerned so far-poetry, music, pictures, sports, friendships, politics, international affairs-you are 15 . On the contrary, it is true that every time you 16 a new interest- even more, a new accomplishment-you increase your power of life. No one who is deeply interested in a large variety of subjects can remain 17 ; the real pessimist is the person who has lost 18 . To be or not to be-to live intensely and richly, merely to exist, that fits with 19 . Let's widen and strengthen our relations. 20 we live let live! | ||||

Have you ever had the desire to wander the world and see what was out there? While some people prefer to stay in the comfort of their own home, others have been bitten by the travel bug and can't wait to explore the world. Exotic (异国的) places call to them. "Come visit us and we will show you my mysteries," they say. Every year millions of people pack their suitcases or put on backpacks and flock to visit the seven continents of the world. They wander through the castles and museums of Europe, and the cities and natural wonders of North and South America. Some visit the vast exotic cultures of Asia, Africa and the Middle East. The great outback of Australia is a wonderland for those who go there. And a few lucky people even realize their dreams to visit the most mysterious continent on the earth-Antarctica. Why do people want to explore the world? It gives them a better understanding about the earth and the people living on it. It opens their minds, it gives them a feeling of accomplishment, and it makes them feel alive. So save some money, get your passport ready, and see the world. It will change your life forever. |

In 1986, when Carlo Petrini first coined the term "Slow Food", he organized locally in his native Italy to preserve the food and wine culture and protest fast food. Today, slow food has spread to 132 countries with over 85 000 members, addressing worldwide issues like farmer equity and environmental stewardship-the actions people take to respect the rights of all living things and all environments, to contribute to healthy and livable, communities. Characterized by Slow Food International as "good, clean, and fair food," slow food must enrich the eater's life, have no negative impact on human or environmental health, and compensate fairly for food producers' work. The average American meal travels about 1 500 miles to its final destination, with producing of food traveling by plane from overseas and other items shipped across the country. However, cost for food travel and heavy processing are not the only problems in the food industry that the environment faces. Industrial agriculture also has unsustainable practices like inefficient water use and decreased biodiversity. Our ideas in feeding ourselves are exceptional, but at various points our technologies come into conflict with nature's ways of doing things. A great many of the health and environmental problems created by our food system owe to our attempts to oversimplify nature's complexities, at both the growing and the eating ends of our food chain. "Slowing" food, by purchasing locally and sustainably, allows consumers to reduce the impact of "food miles" and develop a closer relationship with their food producers. "We need to change our food system," said David Prior, organizer of Slow Food Nation's Eat-In. "Our current food system is sick and we need to support farmers and agriculture to ensure that everyone has the right to nutritious food." |
1. The main idea of the passage can be summarized as _____. |
A. why slow food is so important B. the food and wine culture is rich in Italy C. what you're eating always travels a long way D. slow food makes the current food system sick |
2. According to the second paragraph, environmental stewardship refers to _____. |
A. measures of environmental protections B. ways to establish healthy and livable communities C. people's admiration for all the creatures on the earth D. actions to protect the rights of all living things and environment |
3. Slow food's characteristic doesn't lie in _____. |
A. improving the quality of eater's life B. providing a fair pay for food workers C. being friendly to human and environmental health D. developing a loose relationship with food producers |
4. What is David Prior's attitude towards current food system? |
A. Suspicious B. Unsatisfied C. Indifferent D. Supportive |

Mental and health experts believe personality plays an important part in how we experience stress. Personality is the way a person acts, feels and thinks. Some people are aggressive and always in a hurry. They often become angry when things do not happen the way they planned. They are called "Type A" personalities. Studies suggest that these people often get stress-related disorders. The "Type B" personality is calmer. These people are able to deal with all kinds of situations more easily. As a result, they are less affected by stress. Studies have also shown that men and women deal with stress differently. Women seem to be better able to deal with stress than men are. However, experts say women are three times more likely to develop depression in reaction to the stress in their lives. American writer John Gray became famous for his book, "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus." He notes that men and women have Opposite ways of dealing with stress. For a man, the best way is to rest and forget about daily problems. But a woman suffering from stress needs to talk about her problems. Experts say there are several ways to deal with stress, including deep breathing, exercise, eating healthy foods, getting enough rest and balancing the time spent in working and playing. Exercise is one of the most effective stress-reduction measures, as physical changes from exercise make you feel better. In addition, exercise can also improve the body's defense system against disease. Keeping stress to yourself can make problems worse. Experts say that expressing emotions to friends or family members or writing down your feelings can help reduce stress. And they also suggest that people should attempt to accept or change stressful situations whenever possible. |
1. According to the experts, _____. |
A. people respond to stress quite differently B. people make the same response to stress C. unlike women, men tend to feel depressed more easily D. personality has nothing to do with how we experience stress |
2. Compared with "Type A" personalities, "Type B" personalities _____. |
A. cause more troubles B. are less able to cope with different situations C. are more easily affected by stress D. tend to solve problems more peacefully |
3. By saying "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus", John Gray means that they _____. |
A. experience emotions in a different way B. cope with stress in a different way C. suffer from stress in the similar way D. develop stress in the opposite way |
4. If you want to reduce your stress, you can _____. |
A. take some exercise B. keep it to yourself C. remain silent D. ignore the stressful situation |

You are busy filling out the application form for a position you really need; let's assume you once actually completed a couple of years of college work or even that you completed your degree. Isn't it tempting to lie just a little, to claim on the form that your diploma (文凭) represents a Harvard degree? Or that you finished an extra couple of years back at State University? More and more people are turning to an utter deception (欺骗) like this to land their first job or to move ahead in their careers. For personnel officers, like most Americans, value degrees from famous schools. A job applicant may have a good education anyway, but he or she assumes that chances of being hired are better with a diploma from a well-known university. Registrars (学籍管理员) at most well-known colleges say that they deal with dishonest claims like these at the rate of about one per week. Personnel officers do check up on degrees listed on application forms. If it turns out that an applicant is lying, most colleges are unwilling to accuse the applicant directly. One Ivy League school refers to them as "special cases." One well-known West Coast school, in perhaps the most delicate phrase of all, says these claims are made by "no such people". To avoid complete lies, some job seekers claim that they "attended" or "were associated with" a college or university. After careful checking, a personnel officer may discover that "attending" means being dismissed after one semester. It may be that "being associated with" a college means that the job-seeker visited his younger brother for a football weekend. One school that keeps records of false claims says that the practice dates back at least to the turn of the center-that's when they began keeping records, anyhow. If you don't want to lie or even stretch the truth, there are companies that will sell you a fake diploma. One company, with offices in New York and on the West Coast, will put your name on a diploma from any number of nonexistent colleges. The price begins at around twenty dollars for a diploma from "Smoot State University". The prices increase rapidly for a degree from the "University of Purdue." As there is no Smoot State and the real school in Indiana is properly called Purdue University, the prices seem rather high for one sheet of paper. |
1. The writer mainly wants to tell us that _____. |
A. college degrees can now be purchased easily B. nowadays it is very hard for people to find jobs C. lying about college degrees is becoming a widespread problem D. employers are no longer interested in applicants' actual performances |
2. As used in the first line of the second paragraph, the word "utter" means _____. |
A. thorough B. careful C. incomplete D. spoken |
3. Once finding applicants with false diplomas, most colleges would _____. |
A. keep the records of them B. drive the them out of college C. avoid direct conflicts with them D. accuse them of such behaviors |
4. We can learn from the passage that _____. |
A. US employers value their job applicants with a degree from top universities B. University of Purdue and Purdue University are the same school C. people with fake diplomas can get their first jobs in US easily D. people pay the same price for a fake diploma from different universities |

Few Americans stay in one a place for a lifetime. We move from the city to the suburbs (郊区), from high school to college in a different state, from a job in one area to a better job elsewhere, from the home where we raise our children to the home where we plan to live in retirement. With each move we are forever making new friends, who become part of our new life. For many of us the summer is a special time for forming new friendships. Today, millions of Americans go on vacation abroad, and we go not only to see new sights but also in those places where we don't feel too strange with the hope of meeting new people. No one really expects a vacation trip to produce a close friend, but the beginning of a friendship is possible. Surely in every country people value friendship. The word "friend" to American people can be applied to a wide range of relationships-to someone one has known for a few weeks in a new place, to a close business companion, to a childhood playmate, to a man or a woman, or to a trusted colleague. There are real differences among these relations for Americans a friendship may be shallow, casual, situational or deep and lasting. But to a European, who sees only our surface behavior, the differences are not clear. As Europeans see it, all kinds of "friends" flow in and out of Americans' homes with little ceremony. They may be parents of the children's friends, house guests of neighbors, members of a committee, business associates from another town or even another country. Coming as a guest into an American home, the European visitor finds no obvious landmarks. The atmosphere is relaxed. Most people, old and young, are called by first names. Americans' characteristic openness to different styles of relationship makes it possible for us to find new friends abroad with whom we feel at home. | ||||||||
