| Having friends may well keep you healthier and help you deal with stress better. Some studies show that people with close friends have a greater ability to fight diseases than people who are alone. Make friendship a priority. Find the time to be with friends even if it means letting the lawn go unmowed or the dishes unwashed for a while. When you can't get together, use the phone to keep in touch. Open up to close friends. Maintaining a deep friendship requires a level of "heartfelt" intimacy (亲密). Don't be afraid to express your inner fears and disappointments. Listen to your friends when they have problems, but offer advice only when it's wanted. Help raise friends' self-esteem (自尊) when they are shaken by a job loss, or other such events. Have different friends for different activities, such as going to the movies, singing in a choir, and joining in a bowling league. Don't wait for a friend to ask a favor. When a friend has the flu, offer to go to the store or drive his or her children to their after-school activities. Never take a friendship for granted. Like a good marriage, friendship needs care and patience. Become a joiner. Find a group that matches your interests. Talk to strangers. Conversations started in museums, laundry rooms, or bookstores can lead to firm friendship. Enroll in an adult-education course. A classroom is an ideal place to meet others with similar interests. |

| Douglas Grace talks about his ideal city of the future. I see the city of the future in three zones-inner, middle and outer. In the inner zone there will be no private cars. Public transport will be free and there will only be ambulances, fire engines, taxis and police cars. This inner zone will be the residential (住宅的) and recreational (娱乐的) area of the city. People will live there and go out to enjoy themselves-to cinemas and restaurants. There will be parks and open space, trees and lakes, schools and universities. This way, when people are at home, they can go out easily and safely. Just outside the inner zone there will be big car parks for all private cars. The banks and most of the shops and hospitals will be in the middle zone. These are things that people don't need every day. All the factories and offices will be in the outer zone. People will travel out of the center to work, and back to the center in the evenings. The inner zone will be cleaner and better to live in and there will be more space for industry on the outside. This is my ideal city of the future-a very beautiful place! But I don't really think things will ever be like that! |

| There were smiling children all the way. Clearly they knew at what time the train passed their homes and they made it their business to stand along the railway, wave to complete strangers and cheer them up as they rushed towards Penang. Often whole families stood outside their homes and waved and smiled as of those on the trains were their favorite relatives. This is the simple village people of Malaysia. I was moved. I had always traveled to Malaysia by plane or car, so this was the first time I was on a train. I did not particularly relish the long train journey and had brought along a dozen magazines to read and reread. I looked about the train. There was not one familiar face. I sighed and sat down to read my Economics. It was not long before the train was across the Causeway and in Malaysia. Johore Baru was just another city like Singapore, so I was tired of looking at the crowds of people as they hurried past. As we went beyond the city. I watched the straight rows of rubber trees and miles and miles of green. Then the first village came into sight. Immediately I came alive; I decided to wave back. From then on my journey became interesting. I threw my magazines into the waste basket and decided to join in Malaysian life. Then everything came alive. The mountains seemed to speak to me. Even the trees were smiling. I stared at everything as if I was looking at it for the first time. The day passed fast and I even forgot to have my lunch until I felt hungry. I looked at my watch and was surprised that it was 3:00 pm. Soon the train pulled up at Butterworth. I looked at the people all around me. They all looked beautiful. When my uncle arrived with a smile, I threw my arms around him to give him a warm hug (拥抱). I had never done this before. He seemed surprised and then his weather-beaten face warmed up with a huge smile. We walked arm in arm to his car. I looked forward to the return journey. |

| 3. Which of the following words can best take the place of the word "relish" in the second paragraph? |
| A. choose B. enjoy C. prepare for D. carry on |
| 4. Where was the writer going? |
| A. Johore Baru. B. The Causeway C. Butterworth. D. Singapore. |

| Rae Armantrout, who has been a poetry professor at the University of California San Diego (UCSD) for two decades, has won the 2010 Pulitzer Prize in the poetry category for her most recent book, "Versed". "I'm delighted and amazed at how much media recognition that the Pulitzer brings, as compared to even the National Book Critics Award, which I was also surprised and delighted to win," said Armantrout. "For a long time, my writing has been just below the media radar, and to have this kind of attention, suddenly, with my 10th book, is really surprising." Armantrout, a native Californian, received her bachelor's degree at UC Berkeley, where she studied with noted poet Denise Levertov, and her master's in creative writing from San Francisco State University. She is a founding member of Language Poets, a group in American poetry that analyzes the way language is used and raises questions to make the reader think. In March, she won the National Book Critics Award for "Versed." "This book has gotten more attention," Armantrout said, "but I don't feel as if it's better." The first half of "Versed" focuses on the dark forces taking hold of the United States as it fought the war against Iraq. The second half looks at the dark forces casting a shadow over her own life after Armantrout was diagnosed with cancer in 2006. Armantrout was shocked to learn she had won the Pulitzer but many of her colleagues were not. "Rae Armantrout is a unique voice in American poetry," said Seth Lerer, head of Arts and Humanities at UCSD. "Versed", published by the Wesleyan University Press, did appear in a larger printing than her earlier works, which is about 2,700 copies. The new edition is scheduled to appear in May. |
| 1. According to Rae Armantrout, _____. |
| A. her 10th book is much better B. her winning the Pulitzer is unexpected C. the media is surprised at her works D. she likes being recognized by her readers |
| 2. Which of the following is true of Rae Armantrout? |
| A. She published a poetry textbook. B. She used to teach Denise Levertov. C. She started a poets' group with others. D. She taught creative writing at UC Berkeley. |
| 3. What can we learn about "Versed"? |
| A. It consists of three parts. B. It is mainly about the American army. C. It is a book published two decades ago. D. It partly concerns the poet's own life. |
| 4. Rae Armantrout's colleagues think that she _____. |
| A. should write more B. has a sweet voice C. deserves the prize D. is a strange professor |
| 5. What can we learn from the text? |
| A. About 2,700 copies of "Versed" will be printed. B. Cancer made Armantrout stop writing. C. Armantrout got her degrees at UCSD. D. "Versed" has been awarded twice. |

| For more than twenty years scientists have been seeking to understand the mystery of the "sixth sense" of direction. By trying out ideas and solving problems one by one, they are now getting closer to one answer. One funny idea is that animals might have a built-in compass (指南针). Our earth itself is a big magnet (磁体). So a little magnetic needle that swings freely lines itself with the big earth magnet to point north and south. When people discovered that idea about a thousand years ago and invented the compass, it allowed sailors to navigate (航海) on ocean voyages, even under cloudy skies. Actually the idea of the living compass came just from observing animals in nature. Many birds migrate twice a year between their summer homes and winter homes. Some of them fly for thousands of kilometers and mostly at night. Experiments have shown that some birds can recognize star patterns. But they can keep on course even under cloudy skies. How can they do that? A common bird that does not migrate but is great at finding its way home is the homing pigeon. Not all pigeons can find their way home. Those that can are very good at it, and they have been widely studied. One interesting experiment was to attach little magnets to the birds' heads to block their magnetic sense-just as a loud radio can keep you from hearing a call to dinner. On sunny days, that did not fool the pigeons. Evidently they can use the sun to tell which way they are going. But on cloudy days, the pigeons with magnets could not find their way. It was as if the magnets had blocked their magnetic sense. Similar experiments with the same kind of results were done with honeybees. These insects also seem to have a special sense of direction. In spite of the experiments, the idea of an animal compass seemed pretty extraordinary. How would an animal get the magnetic stuff for a compass? An answer came from an unexpected source. A scientist was studying bacteria that lived in the mud of ponds and marshes. He found accidentally little rod-like bacteria that all swam together in one direction-north. Further study showed that each little bacterium had a chain of dense particles inside, which proved magnetic. The bacteria had made themselves into little magnets that could line up with the earth's magnet. The big news was that a living thing, even a simple bacterium, can make magnetite. That led to a search to see whether animals might have it. By using a special instrument called magnetometer, scientists were able to find magnetite in bees and birds, and even in fish. In each animal, except for the bee, the magnetic stuff was always in or close to the brain. Thus, the idea of a built-in animal compass began to seem reasonable. | |||||||||||
