| In a class I teach adults, I recently did something "unpardonable (不可饶恕的)" I gave the class homework! The 1 was to "go to someone you love within the next week and tell them you love them". It has to be someone you have never said those words to before or at least haven't 2 those words with for a long time. Now that doesn't sound like a very 3 assignment until you realize that most of the men were over 35 and were 4 in the generation of men that were taught that 5 emotion is not macho (阳刚的). Showing feelings or crying was just not done. So this was a very 6 assignment for them. At the beginning of our next class, I asked if someone wanted to share 7 happened when they told someone the loved them I 8 expected one of the women to 9 , as was usually the ease, but on this evening one of the men raised his hand first He appeared quite 10 and a bit shaken. As he 11 out of his chair (all 6feet and 2 inches of him), he began by saying, "Dennis, I was quite 12 with you last week when you gave us this assignment. I didn't feel that I had anyone to say those words to and besides who were you to tell me to do something 13 personal?" "But as I began driving home, my 14 started talking to me It was telling me that I knew 15 who I needed to say I love you too." "You see, five years ago, my father and I had a severe 16 and really never solve it since that time. We 17 seeing each other 18 we absolutely had to at Christmas or other family gatherings. 19 even then, we hardly spoke to each other." "So last Tuesday by the time I got home, I had 20 myself was going to tell my father I love him." | ||||

| In most American high schools holiday panics, part-time jobs, social activities and weekend dances are as much a part of a student's life as studying for a final exam. The graduating students of a high school are referred to as seniors and their final year is filled with events which become the valuable memories of their high school days. This is the time to learn the social skills which will guide them through life and the polite social manners needed for participation in their adult life to follow. In this final year, therefore, gaining the school ring is looked on as one of the most important occasions of the year. The school ring somehow is a symbol which reminds the students of the memories of the four years spent there. The school ring for many students is very important because it creates a sense of social relation among the class and is an object that causes the students to remember the importance of one's high school education. This ring is usually impressed with the name of the student, the name of the school and the year of graduation. A semi-precious birthstone is placed in the center of the ring and it shows an identity that with the ring, there is a sense of belongings, a connection with the school and all the memories joined to that association. Besides receiving their rings, all of the seniors also look forward to their special privileges (特权). The purpose of these privileges is to prepare the students for the adult world where they will have to make responsible decisions on their own. |
| 1. According to the passage, a symbol of the connection between a student and his school is |
| A. the graduation celebration B. the school ring C. the social activities D. the four years spent in school |
| 2. What do the students think of the social skills during their development? |
| A. The students think them of great importance. B. The students think they are not as important as their final exams. C. The students think of little about their influence on them. D. The students think they will have a great effect on their own. |
| 3. The fourth paragraph mainly tells us _____. |
| A. the design and the importance of the school ring B. the cost of the school ring C the valuable memories of school life D. the ceremony of graduation |
| 4. Besides receiving school rings, students can get special privileges so that they can _____. |
| A. have a sense of belonging B. know more about their classmates life C. prepare for the future social life D. recall many beautiful things |

| What has the telephone done to us or for us in the hundred years of its existence? A few effects suggest themselves at once. It has saved lives by getting rapid word of illness, injury, or fire from distant places. By joining with the lift to make possible the multi-story building or office building, it has made possible-for better or worse-the modem city. By bringing about a great leap in the speed and ease with which information moves from place to place, it has greatly sped up the rate of scientific and technological changes and growth in industry. Beyond doubt it has seriously weakened, if not killed, the ancient art of letter writing It has made living alone possible for persons with normal desires; by so doing, it has played a mile in one of the greatest social changes of this century, the breakup of the multi generational house-hold. It has made the war more efficient than before. Perhaps though not provably (可证实), it has prevented wars that might have arisen out of international misunderstanding caused by written communication. Or perhaps-again not probably-by magnifying and extending irrational (非理性的) personal disagreement based on voice contact, it has caused wars. Certainly it has extended the scope (范围) of human conflicts, since it fairly spreads the useful knowledge of scientists and the nonsense of the ignorant (无知者), the affection of the affectionate and the malice (恶意) of the malicious. |
| 1. What is the main idea of the passage? |
| A. The telephone has helped to save people from illness and fire. B. The telephone has helped to prevent wars and conflicts. C. The telephone has made the modem city neither better nor worse. D. The telephone has had positive as well as negative effects on us. |
| 2. According to the passage,it is the telephone that _____. |
| A. has made letter writing an art B. has prevented wars by avoiding written communication C. has made the world different from what it was D. has caused wars by extending human conflicts |
| 3. The author describes the telephone as fair because it _____. |
| A. saves lives of people in distant places B. enables people to live alone if they want to C. spreads both love and ill will D. replaces much written communication |
| 4. The writer's attitude towards the use of the telephone is _____. |
| A. affectionate B. disapproving C. approving D. neutral (中立的) |

| Thackeray was born into a comfortably secure upper-middle-class family, and brought up to expect the leisured life of "gentleman". However, partly though bad luck and bad financial (财政的) advice, partly through his own profligacy (荒废) in early youth-he was Cambridge and for some years afterwards a compulsive (上 瘾的) gambler-he had been left with nothing to depend on but his brains and energy. He dreamed of writing a great novel; but he realized that while he dreamed and wasted time. Writers whom he considered to be nobodies, such as Bulwer-Lytton,were writing best sellers. Writing had not been his first choice of profession. To please his mother he spent some months, studying law,but his earliest wish was to be a painter. He studied art in London and Paris before deciding that his talent was too small for him to be anything but an amateur (业余的) painter, though he continued to draw professionally, and illustrated (给…画插图) most of his own novels He then turned to journalism. In 1836, while he was still struggling to make his way, he married penniless girl of eighteen, strongly against his mother's will. With considerable courage, Thackeray began to make a living for his growing family from various contributions to any newspapers and magazines that would take his work often he did not know where the next five pounds was coming from Isabella Thackeray gave birth to three daughters,the second of whom died as a child, hut after the birth of the third, in 1840, she became incurably mad and had to be cared fat away from her family for the rest of her long life-she outlived her husband by over thirty years. This tragedy deeply affected Thackeray. It was, too, an extra financial load and for some years he was forced to part with his daughters, who were brought up by his mother in France. While he struggled to make a living in London, still chiefly by Journalism. His chances as a novelist seemed poor: his short novel Barry Lynden, published serially in Fraser's Magazine in 1844 made so little impression oil the public that it was not published in book form until twelve years later. |

| There was more evidence the effects of high oil prices on the transportation industry. Automakers reported further drops in sales of tracks and SUVs (sport utility vehicles) in the United States Big, fuel-hungry vehicles brought in big profits-until Americans faced big costs for fuel now they want smaller and more fuel-efficient cars. The head of General Motors, Rick Wagoner, says the prices are changing consular behavior. G.M sales in the United States dropped 30％from last year. The Ford Motor Company had a 19％ drop. General Motors announced it will close four truck factories in North America and expand car production. It may also see its Hummer division. Hummers are military-like vehicles. But Rick Wagoner said G-M will go forward with plans to make the Chevy Volt, a car powered mainly by electricity. He said it will be available no later than the end of 2010. Still, new findings show that Americans are driving less. The Federal Highway Administration says the number of kilometers traveled on public roads has dropped since late 2006. Many people may be driving less because of high gasoline prices But transportation officials worry that less demand for gasoline will mean shortages of money from fuel taxes that support reads. Use of public transportation, though, is up. The American Public Transportation Association says it increased three percent this year. High fuel prices are also affecting air travel. The International Air Transport Association expects the industry to lose at least two billion dollars this year, mainly because of prices for jet fuel. This week more air, carriers in the United States announced plans to cut flights and jobs and remove older. Less fuel efficient planes from service Continental Airlines said record-high fuel prices have produced the worst crisis (危机) for the industry since 2001. |
