He is always in 10 , but he never 11 . He dreams of becoming a great man. Even people who 12 understand English can 13 Chaplin's films, because they are mostly 14 . It isn't what he says that makes people laugh. His comedy (喜剧) doesn't 15 words. It depends on little actions which mean the 16 thing to people all over the world. Chaplin raises his thick eyebrows or rolls his eyes. He hides behind a fat lady or under a table to escape from his 17 . He dresses well and pretends to be a 18 and important man.

| "BANG!" the door caused a reverberation (回声). It was just standing there, with father standing on one side, and I on the other side. We were both in great anger. "Never set foot in this house again!" stormed father. With tears welling up in my eyes, I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street. The street lights were shining, causing rather sad feelings. I wandered aimlessly. A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me. I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space: happy and care-free. But now...I don't know whether it is because I have grown up or because dad is getting old. We differ in our ways of thinking. He always put his opinions and codes of behavior on me. Whenever he do something wrong, he never admits it. We are just like two people coming from two different worlds. It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened. I wandered the streets, without a destination in mind. My heart was frozen on this hot summer night. As I walked on, there were fewer and fewer people on the streets, until I had only the street lights to keep me company. When I finally reached the high-rise apartment block in which I lived, I saw that the light was still on. I thought to myself:"Is father waiting for me, or is he still angry with me?" In fact, it was nothing. Perhaps, dad was throwing away some of his old stamps. Perhaps he thought they were useless. I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps. I can't stand his outrageous (蛮 横的)words:"I can't throw you away, let alone these old papers!" All the lights were off except father's. Dad was always like this. Maybe he didn't know how to express himself. After shouting at me, he never showed any mercy or any moment of regret. After an argument he has the habit of creeping up in my sleep and then tucking (帮助盖被子) me underneath the covers. This was how he always was. He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature. The light was still on. "Am I wrong?" I whispered, maybe... With the key in hand, I was as nervous as I had never been. At last, I decided to open the door. As soon as I opened the door tears ran down my cheeks. I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist at all. Love-it's second to none. |
| 1. Decide which is the best order of the following according to what happened in the passage. a. I opened the door and entered the house. b. Sadly I ran out into the street. c. I reached the place where I lived and saw my house still brightly lit. d. I thought of my father's kindness towards me. e. I walked about in the street without any aim. |
| A. b,e,d,c,a B. b,e,c,d,a C. b,e,a,c,d D. b,e,c,a,d |
| 2. What made the writer think of his childhood? |
| A. The sight of the street lights. B. The sight of the empty street. C. The sight of a father with a child in his arms. D. The sight of light in his own house. |
| 3. Why do you think the father often shouts at his son? |
| A. Perhaps the father is getting older and older. B. Perhaps the son has already grown up. C. Perhaps they never agree with each other. D. Perhaps the father has got used to doing that. |
| 4. What conclusion can you come to after reading the passage? |
| A. The father treats his son in an unfair way. B. The father is actually kind to his son. C. The father is neither kind nor cruel to his son. D. The father is always finding fault with his son. |

| Making an advertisement for television often costs more than a movie. For example, a two-hour movie costs $6 million to make. A TV commercial (商业广告) can cost more than $6,000 a second. And that does not include cost of paying for air time (电视节目开始的时间). Which is more valuable, the program or the ad? In terms of money-and making money is what television is all about, the commercial is by far the more important. Research, market testing, talent, time and money-all come together to make us want to buy a product. No matter how bad we think a commercial is, it works. The sales of Charm went up once the ads began. TV commercials actually buy their way into our head. We, in turn, buy the product. And the ads work because so much time and attention are given to them. Here are some rules of commercial ad making. If you want to get the lower-middle-class buyer, make sure the announcer has a tough, manly voice. Put some people in the ad who work with their hands. If you want to sell to upper-class audience (观 众), make sure that the house, the furniture, and the hair style are the types that the group identifies (识别) with. If you want the buyer to feel superior (胜过) to the character selling the product, then make that person so sfupid or silly that everyone will feel great about himself or herself. We laugh at commercials. We don't think we pay that much attention to them. But facts show we are kidding ourselves. The making of a commercial that costs so much money is not kid stuff. It's big, big business. And it's telling us what to think, what we need, and what to buy. To put it simply, the TV commercial is a form of brainwashing (洗脑). |
| 1. TV commercials are more important than other programs to television because ____. |
| A. they bring in great profits B. they require a lot of money to make C. they are not difficult to produce D. they attract more viewers than other programs |
| 2. The purpose of all the efforts made in turning out TV commercials is ____. |
| A. to persuade people to buy the product B. to show how valuable the product is C. to test the market value of the product D. to make them as interesting as TV movies |
| 3. From the rules set for making commercial ads, we can see that ____. |
| A. the lower-middle-class buyer likes to work with his hand B. the more stupid the characters, the more buyers of the product C. ad designers attract different people with different skills D. an upperclass buyer is more interested in houses and furniture than a lower-middle-class buyer |
| 4. It is believed by the writer that ____. |
| A. few people like to watch TV commercials B. TV commercials are a good guide to buyers C. TV commercials often make people laugh D. people do not think highly of TV commercials |

| July 16th was a bad day for Mr. Arthur Johnson. In the morning, he set out from his home in Santa Barbara, Califomia. It was the start of his summer holidays and he decided to visit Wends at Las Vegas, then he hoped to go fishing in Lake Mead, 40 km from Las Vegas. Johnson's troubles started while he was driving happily across the Mojave Desert. His car went wrong and he tried to repair it. Then, to make matters worse, his attempts to start the car used up the battery (电 池) and left it useless. After Johnson had waited an hour in the hot sun, a Canadian driver, John Williams, stopped and tried to help him. When both men failed, Williams promised to telephone a workshop to ask it to send a truck to pull the car away and repair its fuel pump. Johnson left the keys in his car and sat in the shade of a large tree. Soon he fell asleep. While he was sleeping, a repair truck arrived from San Pedro (the nearest town) and pulled his car away. Later on, Johnson woke up and thought that somebody had stolen his car. He started to walk back towards San Pedro but a police car stopped him to find out why he was walking in the desert. Johnson looked like a man wanted in Los Angels for robbery, so the police detained him at San Pedro for the night. The next day, Johnson telephoned his friends in Los Angeles.

| Well, somebody had to be the richest man on earth, but why did it have to be him? William Henry Gates Bill, now just called "Bill Gates" or "Bill G". William Henry Gates was born in Seattle. In 1973, Gates entered Harvard University as a freshman (新生). But his heart was not in his studies. After locating (定位) the school's computer centre, he lost himself in the world of computers once again. Gates would spend many long nights in front of the school's computer and the next days sleeping in class.

Microsoft has sold milljons of copies of windows. In 1998, the United States Justice Department, along with 20 state attorneys (律师; 代理人) general, filed an antitrust (反垄断的) lawsuit against Microsoft.

| My husband hasn't stopped laughing about a funny thing that happened to me. It's funny now but it wasn't at that time. Last Friday, after doing all the family shopping in town, I wanted a rest before catching the train, so I bought a newspaper and some chocolate and went into the station coffee shop-that cheap self-service place with long tables to sit at. I put my heavy bag down on the floor, put the newspaper and chocolate on the table to keep a place, and went to get a cup of coffee. When I came back with the coffee, there was someone in the next seat. It was one of those wild-looking youngsters, with dark glasses and torn clothes, and hair coloured bright red at the front. Not so unusual these days.What did suprise me was that he'd started to eat my chocolate! Naturally, I was annoyed (苦恼). However, to avoid (避免) trouble-and really I was rather uneasy about him-I just looked down at the front page of the newspaper, tasted my coffee and took a bit of chocolate. The boy looked at me closely. Then he took a second piece of my chocolate. I could hardly believe it. Still I didn't start an argument. When he took a third piece, I felt more angry than uneasy. I thought, "Well, I shall have the last piece." and I got it. The boy gave me a strange look, then stood up. As he left he shouted out, "This woman's crazy!" Everybody stared. That was embarrassing enough, but it was worse when I finished my coffee and got ready to leave. My face turned red-as red as his hair-when I realized I'd made a mistake. It wasn't my chocolate that I'd been taking. There was mine, unopened, just under my newspaper. |
