| A German taxi-driver, Franz Bussman, recently found a brother who was thought to have been killed twenty years before. While on a walking tour with his wife, he stopped to talk to a workman. After they had gone on, Mrs Bussman commented on the workman's close resemblance to her husband and even suggested that he might be his brother. Franz poured scorn on the idea, pointing out that his brother had been killed in action during the war. Though Mrs. Bussman was fully acquainted with this story, she thought that there was a chance in a million that she might be right. A few days later, she sent a boy to the workman to ask him if his name was Hans Bussman, Needless to say, the man's name was Hans Bussman and he really was Franz's long-lost brother. When the brothers were re-united, Hans explained how it was that he was still alive. After having been wounded towards the end of the war, he had been sent to hospital and was separated from his unit. The hospital had been bombed and Hans had made his way back into Western Germany on foot. Meanwhile, his unit was lost and all records of him had been destroyed. Hans returned to his family home, but the house had been bombed and no one in the neighborhood knew what had become of the inhabitants. Assuming that his family had been killed during an air-raid (空袭), Hans settled down in a Village fifty miles away where he had remained ever since. |

| A. Living Not Far B. A Chance in a Million C. Coming Back to Life D. Back after the War |
| 2. Why did Franz laugh at his wife's idea? |
| A. Because Franz believed that his brother had already been killed in the war. B. Because Franz believed that many people looked closely like his brother. C.

| One difference from the other cities is that London has two centres: the City of London, the centre of business, and Westminster, the centre of the official offices. The City of London is in fact a small area and only about 5,000 people live there but it is the centre of British business. The City of Westminster not only has the Houses of Parliament (议院) but also the different official offices which control the country. Other famous areas are the West End and the East End. The West End is the part that visitors usually see because it has many famous shops, such as Selfridges and Simpsons, and many museums such as the National Art Building and the Museum of Mankind. Most of the big London theatres and cinemas are also in the West End. The East End has always been poor and not interesting but the home of the true Londoner, the "Cockney". People say that a Cockney has to be born within the sound of Bow Bells: this means that he could hear the sound of the bells in a church (教堂) in Bow, a place of the East End. The East End used to have the docks (船坞) and some factories but now the docks and many of the factories have moved out of London. London is now a mixture of peoples who came from many countries but are now just Londoners. Many people came from the old British colonies (殖民地). But there are also large groups of people from Poland, from Italy, from France, and from many other countries. Now you can buy food from any country and hear any language spoken in London. The only difficulty is finding a restaurant where you can eat English food. |
| 1. The "Cockney" is _____. |
| A. the home of the true Londoner B. the Londoner C. a Londoner who was born in Bow and lives in the East End D. the Londoner who likes cocks |
| 2. The East End is known for it _____. |
| A. has famous places B. is very poor C. has docks D. has theatres and museums |
| 3. The last sentence of the passage tells us _____. |
| A. there are few restaurants whose owners are English B. there are many Londoners who were not English before C. English food has changed after long years of the mixture of people D. the English food is too expensive to eat |

| I'm seventeen. I had worked as a box boy at a supermarket in Los Angeles. People came to the counter and you put things in their bags for them. And carried things to their cars. It was hard work. While working, you wear a plate with your name on it. I once met someone I knew years ago. I remembered his name and said, "Mr. Castle, how are you?" We talked about this and that. As he left, he said, "It was nice talking to you, Brett." I felt great, he remembered me. Then I looked down at my name plate. Oh no. He didn't remember me at all, he just read the name plate. I wish I had put "Irving" down on my name plate. If he'd have said, "Oh yes, Irving, how could I forget you?" I'd have been ready for him. There's nothing personal here. The manager and everyone else who were a step above the box boys often shouted orders. One of these was:you couldn't accept tips (小费). Okay, I'm outside and I put the bags in the car. For a lot of people, the natural reaction (反应) is to take a quarter and give it me. I'd say, "I'm sorry, I can't." They'd get angry. When you give someone a tip, you're sort of being polite. You take a quarter and you put it in their hand and you expect them to say, "Oh, thanks a lot." When you say, "I'm sorry, I can't." they feel a little put down. They say, "No one will know." And they put it in your pocket. You say, "I really can't." It gets to a point where you almost have to hurt a person physically (身体上) to prevent him from tipping you. It was not in agreement with the store's belief in being friendly. Accepting tips was a friendly thing and made the customer feel good. I just could n't understand the strangeness of some people's ideas. One lady actually put it in my pocket, got in the car, and drove away. I would have had to throw the quarter at her or eaten it or something. I had decided that one year was enough. Some people needed the job to stay alive and fed. I guess I had the means and could afford to hate it and give it up. |
| 1. What can be the best title for this text? |
| A. How Hard Life is for Box Boys B. Getting along with Customers C. Why I Gave up My Job D. The Art of Taking Tips |
| 2. From the second paragraph, we can infer that _____. |
| A. the writer didn't like the impersonal part of his job B. with a name plate, people can easily start talking C. Mr. Castle mistook Irving for Brett D. Irving was the writer's real name |
| 3. The box boy refused to accept tips because _____. |
| A. customers only gave small tips B. some customers had strange ideas about tipping C. the store didn't allow the box boys to take tips D. he didn't want to fight with the customers |
| 4. The underlined phrase "put down"in the third paragraph probably means _____. |
| A. misunderstood B. defeated C. hateful D. hurt |

| In bringing up children, every parent watches eagerly the child's acquisition (学会) of each new skill-the first spoken words, the first independent steps, or the beginning of reading and writing. It is often tempting to hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate, but this can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the child. This might happen at any stage. A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early, a young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other hand, though, if a child is left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural enthusiasm for life and his desire to find out new things for himself. Parents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children. Some may be especially strict in money matters, others are sever over times of coming home at night or punctuality for meals. In general, the controls imposed represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community as much as the child's own happiness. As regards the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is very important in parental teaching. To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality (道德). Also, parents should realize that "example is better than precept". If they are not sincere and do not practice what they preach (说教), their children may grow confused and emotionally insecure when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have been to some extent fooled. A sudden awareness of a marked difference between their parents' principles and their morals can be a dangerous disappointment. |
| 1. Eagerly watching the child's acquisition of new skills _____. |
| A. should be avoided B. is universal among parents C. sets up dangerous states of worry in the child D. will make him lose interest in learning new things |
| 2. In the process of children's learning new skills, parents _____. |
| A. should encourage them to read before they know the meaning of the words they read B. should expect a lot from the children C. should achieve a balance between pushing them too hard and leaving them on their own D. should create as many learning opportunities as possible |
| 3. The second paragraph mainly tells us that _____. |
| A. parents should be strict with their children B. parental controls reflect only the needs of the parents and the values of the community C. parental restrictions vary, and are not always for the benefit of the children alone D. it's parents' and society's duty to control the children |
| 4. The word"precept" in Paragraph 3 probably means "_____". |
| A. opinion B. punishment C. behavior D. instruction |
| 5. In terms of (在……方面) moral matters, parents should _____. |
| A. follow the rules them selves B. be aware of the huge difference between adults and children C. forbid their children to follow book teachings D. always ensure the security of their children |

| For over one hundred and fifty years, Americans of all social classes have worn blue jeans. 1_____ Whether they are worn for work or for fashion today. Strauss' invention continues to be popular not only among Americans but also among people around the world. Levi Strauss was born in Germany in 1829. 2_____ He grew up in Kentucky before moving to New York in 1847. Before becoming an American citizen and moving to the West in 1853, Strauss worked in his brother's dry goods business. This gave him a chance to produce his famous invention. After the gold rush of 1949, Strauss decided to move to the West to seek his fortunes. Strauss did not want to be a person who searched an area for minerals. Instead, he knew he could make a good living by selling supplies to the miners. At first, he planned to sell sewing supplies and cloth. 3_____ When he heard miners complaining that their clothes were easily broken or they usually tore their pockets during mining, he decided to use a special fabric to make pants for the miners. These pants proved so popular that he quickly ran out of materials to make more. In 1873, Strauss received a letter from a Jewish tailor named Jacob Davis who had invented a process of connecting pockets with copper rivets (铆钉). This made the pants last a long time. Because Davis did not have the money to patent his idea, he offered to share it with Strauss if Strauss would agree to pay for the patent. 4_____. By the time Strauss died in 1902, he had made a great contribution to American fashion. 5_____ The business has been growing ever since and Levi Strauss' company is now one of the largest clothing companies in the world. |
| A. As a young boy, he moved with his family to the United States. B. Nobody knew what kind of material was suitable. C. He did and Levi jeans have been made with metal rivets ever since. D. However, he did not get much business for those products. E. He also made a great contribution to America's clothing industry. F. Since they were invented by Levi Strauss, they have become a symbol of American consumer culture. G. As the business grew, Strauss got much money from it. |
