| I grew up poor-living in the housing projects (住房) with six brothers, three sisters, a varying assortment (各式各样东西的混合) of foster kids (养子), my father, and a wonderful mother, Scarlette Hunley. We had little money and few worldly goods, but plenty of love and attention. I was 1 and energetic. I understood that no matter how poor a person was, he could still 2 a dream. My dream was 3 . By the time I was sixteen, I could crush a baseball, and hit anything that moved on the baseball field. I was also 4 : My high school Coach Jarvis, who not only believed in me, but taught me how to believe in myself. He 5 me the difference between having a dream and showing conviction (信念). One particular incident with Coach Jarvis changed my life forever. It was the summer between my junior and senior years, and a friend 6 me for a summer job. This meant a chance for money in my pocket-cash for dates with girls, certainly, money for a new bike and new clothes, and the 7 of savings for a house for my mother. The prospect of a summer job was attractive and interesting, and l wanted to jump at the opportunity. Then I realized I would have to 8 summer baseball to handle the work schedule, and that meant I would have to tell Coach Jarvis I wouldn't be playing. When I told Coach Jarvis, he was 9 as I expected him to be. "You have your whole life to work," he said. "Your 10 days are limited. You can't afford to waste them." I stood before him with my head hanging, trying to think of the words that would explain to him why my dream of buying my mom a house and having money in my pocket was worth facing his 11 to me. "How much are you going to make at this job, son?" He demanded. "3.5 dollars an hour." I replied. "Well," he asked, "Is $3.5 an hour the price of a dream?" That question, the plainness of it, laid here for me the difference between wanting something right now and having a goal. I delicated myself to sports that summer and with the year I was hired by the Pittsburgh Pirates to play baseball, and was 12 a $20,000 contract.

It is best that every person knows what he eats, as he takes in, can make or break himself, in terms of health. Fish is helpful in regaining back the kind of memory that a person once has. Eating fish can help you save the trouble of forgetfulness. Vegetables rich in fiber and other dark and green leafy kinds are very suitable for people who want to avoid mental blocks.

| I heard many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling. I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own two feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them are clutching (紧 握) at one another's hands for reassurance. They claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music. But somehow they all end up huddled (聚在一起) round listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in thus-and-such a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon (蚕茧) into a larger cocoon. It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry has firmly carved out a teenage market. These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. And many of today's parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children. All this adds up to a great barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path. But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don't care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come-with the people who respect you for who you are. That is the only kind of popularity that really counts. |
| 1. In this passage, the author wants to tell ____. |
| A. readers to try to be popular with people around B. teenagers to try to pursue their real selves C. parents to try to control and guide their children D. people to try to understand and respect each other |
| 2. The author disapproves of rebelling teenagers ____. |
| A. growing away from their parents B. turning to their friends for help C. walking a new way on their own D. following the popularity trend |
| 3. The phrase "a larger cocoon" in the second paragraph refers to ____. |
| A. the distractive and variable society B. the popularity wave in the society C. the parental care and love D. the dazzling music world |
| 4. What does the author think of advertisements? |
| A. Convincing. B. Instructive. C. Influential. D. Authoritative. |
| 5. According to the author, what might happen when a teenager stands up against the popularity wave and follows his/her own path? |
| A. He/She gains valuable popularity. B. He/She loses good friends. C. He/She faces all kinds of criticism. D. He/She falls behind the time. |

| Green-space facilities are contributing to an important extent to the quality of the urban environment. Fortunately it is no longer necessary that every lecture or every book about this subject has to start with the proof of this idea. At present it is generally accepted, although more as a self-evident statement than on the base of a closely-reasoned scientific proof. The recognition of the importance of green-space in the urban environment is a first step on the right way; this does not mean, however, that enough details are known about the functions of greenspaces in towns and about the way in which the inhabitants (居民) are using these spaces. The theoretical separation of living, working, traffic and recreation which for many years has been used in town-and-country planning, has in my opinion resulted in disproportionate (不成比例的) attention for forms of recreation far from home, whereas (但是) there was relatively little attention for improvement of recreative possibilities in the direct neighborhood of the home. We have come to the conclusion that this is not right, because an important part of the time which we do not pass in sleeping or working, is used for activities at and around home. So it is obvious that recreation in the open air has to begin at the street door of the house. The urban environment has to offer as many recreation activities as possible, and the design of these has to be such that more obligatory(强制性的) activities can also have a recreative aspect. The very best standard of living is nothing if it is not possible to take a pleasant walk in the district, if the children cannot be allowed to play in the streets, because the risks of traffic are too great, if during shopping you can nowhere find a spot of enjoying for a moment the nice weather, in short, if you only feel yourself at home after the street door of your house is closed after you. |
| 1. According to the author, the importance of greenspaces in the urban environment ____. |
| A. is still unknown B. is being closely studied C. is usually neglected D. has been fully recognized |
| 2. The theoretical separation of living, working, traffic and recreation has led to ____. |
| A. the disproportion of recreation facilities in the neighborhood B. all of the recreation facilities far from home C. relatively little attention for recreative possibilities D. the improvement of recreative possibilities in the neighborhood |
| 3. The author suggests that the recreative possibilities of greenspaces should be provided ____. |
| A. in special areas B. in the suburbs C. in the neighbourhood of the home D. in gardens and parks |
| 4. The author says "more obligatory activities can also have a recreative aspect" to ____. |
| A. suggest that obligatory activities don't need to serious B. show that recreation activities are very important C. show how recreation activities have spread wildly D. suggest how to offer recreation activities around home |
| 5. Why would someone only feel himself at home according to the last paragraph? |
| A. One lives the very best standard of living. B. There are too many distractions outside his home. C. There are few recreations around his house. D. One needs the street door of his house to be opened always. |

| A busy life can be personally satisfying, but it may make you feel too tired to achieve the inner peace that will connect you with your true happiness. Begin with simplifying your life and working towards a more peaceful state of mind. Recognize the differences between the things you need and the things you want. Our culture provides us with the message that materials will make our lives better. The reality is that most of these things will complicate our lives without bringing true happiness. Free yourself-learn to be satisfied with fewer materials and greater simplicity. If you let someone else define your life, you're missing the chance to follow your own desires. Your inner life is weakened when you are limited by conformity. Why do you give up your freedom and allow all of your decisions to be defined by what others think you "should" do? Think for yourself. Let your passions be your guide. Life is full of opportunities to earn money, give services. Learn new skills and make new friends. Some of us want them all and fill up our timetable with all kind of activities. Rushing from one activity to another leaves you with no time to slow down. No matter how worthy you think your activities are, rethink them. Keep the ones that are most important and leave out the ones that are adding to the pace of your life with little return. Life is forever changing, and you will never reach a point of simplicity and endless happiness. But each moment you spend on the path to simplicity does have the possibility to bring happiness to your life. |

| According to one study, words send only 7 percent of a person's message. Intonation (语调) and voice quality communicate 38 percent, and nonverbal (not using or involving words) cues (暗示) transmit a large 55 percent. That means people pick up more from nonverbal communication than from the words a person says. When studying a foreign culture then, it just makes sense to pay attention to how people use nonverbal cues. Gestures consist of a major form of nonverbal communication. But often these gestures are culture-bound. For example, when the Maoris of New Zealand stick out (伸出) their tongue at someone, it is a sign of respect. When American schoolchildren make the same gesture, it means just the opposite. Also, Americans often indicate "OK" with their thumb and fore-finger touching to form a circle. The same gesture means "money" to the Japanese and "zero" to the French. For that reason, people in a foreign culture must use gestures with caution. Another part of nonverbal communication is the one that you might not think about-space. When someone comes too close, he feels uncomfortable. When he knocks into someone, he feels obligated (有义务的) to apologize. But the size of a person's "comfort zone" varies, depending on his cultural or ethnic origin. For example, in casual conversation, many Americans stand about four feet apart. People in Latin or Arabic cultures, instead, stand very close to each other and touch each other often. Considering the effects of nonverbal communication, we never really stop communicating. How we walk, how we stand and how we use our hands all send a message to others. That's why it's possible to "read someone like a book". |

What does the gesture "OK" mean in Japan? (no more than 3 words) ____________________________________________________________________________________ 3.
