| About a hundred yards along the path, we came to a deep valley (山谷). On the far side of it, the path led into some very thick bushes, rather than push through up again and rejoin the path on the far side of the bushes. As I climbed down into the valley a bird flew off a rock on which I had put my hand. On looking at the spot from which the bird had risen I saw two eggs. They were a kind that I did not have in my collection, so I placed them carefully in my bag, wrapped in a little dry grass. As we went further down the valley the sides became steeper (陡峭) and not far from where I had entered it came to drop of about twelve to fourteen feet. The water that rushed down all these small valleys in the rainy season had worn (磨损,冲刷) the rock as smooth as glass. As it was too deep to climb down, I handed my gun to one of them and slid down it. My feet had hardly touched the sandy bottom when the two men jumped down, one on each side of me. They quickly gave me the gun and asked me if I had heard the tiger. In fact, I had heard nothing, possibly because of the noise I made sliding down the rock. The men said they had heard a tiger growling (咆哮) somewhere nearby, but they did not know which direction the noise had come from. |

| Listen carefully, working people, we would like to tell you something that could save your precious time and money! Best of all, it is free! It's "no". What do you ask? We'll say it again:"No". Sweet and simple "no". Say "no" at your office and see how quickly that pile of work on your desk disappears. "Saying 'no' to others means you are saying 'yes' to yourself," said Leslie Charles, a professional speaker from East Lansing, Michigan. "Time is precious. People are spending money buying time. And yet we are willing to give up our time because we can't say 'no'." Susie Watson, a famous writer, said people who always say "yes" need to say "no" without guilt (内疚) or fear of punishment. "I would rather have someone give me a loving 'no'than an obligated (强制的) 'yes'," she said. Susie Watson says she feels "no" obligation to give an explanation when she says "no" either socially or professionally. Does she feel guilty about it? "Not at all," said Watson, who is director of advertising and public relations at Timex Corp in Middlebury, Connecticut. "Most people are afraid of saying 'no'… My advice is to say 'yes' only if you don't mean 'no'." Watson said "no" is the most effective weapon against wasting time. "Every year there are more demands on your time… Other people are happy to use up your time," Watson said. Time saving appears to be "no'" greatest friend. "No" can be your new friend, a powerful tool to take back your life. "No" may even take you further in the business world than"yes". "No" is power and strength. "No" now seems completely correct."Saying 'no' isn't easy. But finally it's greatly liberating," Charles said. But, he added, a "no" project needs to be worked on every day because it is hard to change long-term habit. But, he also warns:"Don't go to extremes. Don't find yourself saying 'no'to everything. In return you should learn to hear 'no'." |
| 1. The sentence "you are saying 'yes' to yourself" means _____. |
| A. you can have more time to play with others B. you needn't care about other's feeling if you are happy C. you are selfish and treat others rudely D. you can deal with your business as you have planned |
| 2. When you say "no" to others, you should say it in a _____. |
| A. secret way B. polite way C. proud way D. guilty way |
| 3. In Watson's opinion, people can save much time on condition that _______. |
| A. they say "no" at a suitable time B. they say "no" as much as possible C. they are afraid of saying "no" D. they make others angry at them |
| 4. If a person says "no" to everything, the result he or she receives may be that he or she _____. |

A. enjoys a wonderful life |

| Education is not an end, but a means to an end. In other words, we do not educate children only for the purpose of educating them. Our purpose is to fit them for life. In some modern countries it has for some time been fashionable to think that by free education for all-one can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation. But we can already see that free education for all is not enough; we find in such countries a far larger number of people with university degree; they refuse to do what they think “low” work; and, in fact, work with hands is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries. But we have only to think a moment to understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of a professor; we can live without education, but we die if we have no food. If no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish away from our houses, we should get terrible diseases in our towns. In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life, it means that we must be educated in such a way that, firstly, each of us can do whatever work suited to his brains and ability and, secondly, that we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society, and that is very bad to be ashamed of one's work. Only such a type of education can be considered valuable to society. |
| 1. The writer of the passage thinks that _____. |
| A. education can settle most of the world's problems B. free education for all probably leads to a perfect world C. free education won't help to solve problems D. all the social problems can't be solved by education |
| 2. The writer wants to prove that _____. |
| A. our society needs all kinds of jobs B. our society needs free education for all C. a farmer is more important than a professor D. work with hands is the most important |
| 3. The purpose of education is _____. |
| A. to choose officials for the country B. to prepare children mainly for their future work C. to let everyone receive education fit for him D. to build a perfect world |
| 4. The passage tells us about _______ of the education. |
| A. the means B. the system C. the value D. the type |

| To face the music Like every language, American English is full of special expressions, phrases that come from the day-to-day life of the people and develop in their own way. Our expression today is "to face the music". When someone says,"well, I guess I'll have to face the music," it does not mean he's planning to go to the concert. It is something far less pleasant, like being called in by your boss to explain why you did this and did that, and why you didn't do this or that. Sour music indeed, but it has to be faced. At sometime or another, every one of us has had to face the music, especially as children. We can all remember father's angry voice,"I want to talk to you." and only because we did not obey him. What an unpleasant business it was! The phrase "to face the music" is familiar to every American, young and old. It is at least 00 years old. And where did this expression come from? The first explanation comes from the American novelist, James Fenimore Looper. He said, in 85, that the expression was first used by actors while waiting in the wings to go on the stage. When they got their cue to go on, they often said, "Well, it's time to face the music." And that was exactly what they did - facing the orchestra which was just below them. And an actor might be frightened or nervous as he moved on to the stage in front of an audience that might be friendly or perhaps hostile, especially if he forgot his lines. But he had to go out. If he did not, there would be no play. So the expression "to face the music" come to mean "having to go through something, no matter how unpleasant the experience might be, because you knew you had no choice." Other explanations about the expression go back to the army. When the men faced an inspection by their leader, the soldiers would be worried about how well they looked. Was their equipment clean, shinny enough to pass the inspection? Still the men had to go out and face the music of the band as well as the inspection. What else could they do? Another army explanation is more closely related to the idea of facing the results and accepting the responsibility for something that should not have been done. As, for example, when a man is forced out of the army because he did something terrible, he is dishonored. The band does not play. Only the drums tap a sad, slow beat. The soldier is forced to leave, facing such music as it is and facing the back of his horse. |
| 1. How many ways does the phrase"to face the music" comes from? |
|
A.1 |
| 2. What's the meaning of "to face the music?" |
| A. To face something far less pleasant. B. To face the stage. C. To face the back of one's horse. D. To face one's leader. |
| 3. Which of the following is a situation of facing the music? |
| A. When we are playing basketball. B. When we are making a speech. C. When we are having a party. D. When we are talking with somebody. |
| 4. The underlined word "hostile" means _______. |
| A. unfriendly B. useless C. unkind D. unnecessary |
