Sometimes I'd hand out bus fare when a ticket went 9 --always repaid the next day. When it snowed, the kids and I would wait anxiously for a very 10 bus.

| A Tight Situation Sometimes funny memories are the most special way to remember a beloved lover. It helps take away some of the feeling of loss. Before he passed away, my husband loved to share this story with our friends. Now, it makes a smile to share this story with you. Our neighbor's son was getting married at a church, and we were invited. We immediately rushed out to the store, and I bought a nice pink dress with a jacket. The dress was a little tight, but I had a month before the June 30 wedding and I would lose a few pounds. June 29 came and, of course, I had not lost a single pound; in fact, I had gained two. But, I thought a new girdle (收腹健美裤) would solve my problem. So on the way to the wedding, we stopped once again at the store. I ran in and told the clerk I needed a size large girdle. The clerk found the box with the described girdle, marked "L", and asked if I would like to try it on. "Oh, no, large will fit just right. I won't need to try it on." The next morning was hot, so I waited to get dressed until about forty-five minutes before time to go. I opened the girdle box only to find a new ＄49.95 girdle in a size small. Since it was too late to find another one and the dress wouldn't fit right without a girdle, a fight broke out between me and the girdle. Have you ever tried to shake twenty pounds of potatoes into a five-pound bag? Finally, my husband, laughing like crazy, got hold of each side and shook me down into it, and I was ready to go. As we walked into the church, he asked if I could make it. Now, he was getting worried because I was breathing funny. I told him that it would last one hour, twenty-two minutes and eight-and-one-half seconds-the minister blessed everything except my girdle! My knees were blue and my legs lost all the feeling. My husband was asking questions and trying to comfort me. As soon as the minister pronounced them married, I rushed out with my husband. "Please, just get me out of here!" I said. We ran out to our car, and once there he opened the front and back passenger doors against the next car. Right there, before God, human and the wedding party, I took off that girdle. When the girdle flew out of my hand and landed under the car next to ours, my husband was laughing so hard and we drove away. Over the years, he and I had often wondered what the people of that church thought the next morning when they found ＄49.95, size small girdle in their parking lot. |

| Sometimes you'll hear people say that you can't love others until you love yourself. Sometimes you'll hear people say that you can't expect someone else to love you until you love yourself. Either way, you've got to love yourself first and this can be tricky. Sure we all know that we're the apple of our parents' eyes, and that our Grandmas think we're great talents and our Uncle Roberts thinks we will go to the Olympics, but sometimes it's a lot harder to think such nice thoughts about ourselves. If you find that believing in yourself is a challenge, it is time you build a positive self-image and learn to love yourself. Self-image is your own mind's picture of yourself. This image includes the way you look, the way you act, the way you talk and the way you think. Interestingly, our self-images are often quite different form the images others hold about us. Unfortunately, most of these images are more negative than they should be. Thus changing the way you think about yourself is the key to changing your self-image and you whole world. The best way to defeat a passive self-image is to step back and decide to stress your successes. That is, make a list if you need to, but write down all of the great things you do every day. Don't allow doubts to occur in it. It very well might be that you are experiencing a negative self-image because you can't move past one flaw or weakness that you see about yourself. Well, roll up your sleeves and make a change of it as your primary task. If you think you're silly because you aren't good at math, find a tutor. If you think you're weak because you can't run a mile, get to the track and practice. If you think you're dull because you don't wear the latest trends, buy a few new clothes. But remember, just because you think it doesn't mean it's true. The best way to get rid of a negative self-image is to realize that your image is far form objective, and to actively convince yourself of your positive qualities. Changing the way you think and working on those you need to improve will go a long way towards promoting a positive self-image. When you can pat yourself on the back, you'll know you're well on your way. Good luck! |
| 1. You need to build a positive self-image when you ______. |
| A. dare to challenge yourself B. feel it hard to change yourself C. are unconfident about yourself D. have a high opinion of yourself |
| 2. According to the passage, our self-images ______. |
| A. have positive effects B. are often changeable C. are probably untrue D. have different functions |
| 3. How should you change your self-image according to the passage? |
| A. To keep a different image of others. B. To make your life successful. C. To understand your own world. D. To change the way you think. |
| 4. The passage is mainly about how to ______. |
| A. prepare for your success B. face challenges in your life C. build a positive self-image D. develop your good qualities |

| It is hard to track the blue whale, the ocean's largest creature which has almost been killed off by commercial whaling and is now listed as an endangered species. Attaching radio equipment to it is difficult and visual sightings are too unreliable to give real insight into its behavior. So biologists were delighted early this year when with the help of the Navy they were able to track a particular blue whale for 43 days monitoring its sounds . This was possible because of the Navy's formerly top-secret system of underwater listening equipment spanning (估量) the oceans . Tracking whales is but one example of an exciting new world just opening to civilian scientists after the cold war as the Navy starts to share and partly uncover its global network of underwater listening system built over the decades to track the ships of potential enemies . Earth scientists announced at a news conference recently that they had used the system for closely monitoring a deep-sea volcanic eruption for the first time and that they plan similar studies. Other scientists have proposed to use the network for tracking ocean currents and measuring changes in ocean and global temperatures. The speed of sound in water is roughly one mile a second-slower than through land but faster than through air. What is most important , different layers of ocean water can act as channels for sounds focusing them in the same way a stethoscope (听诊器) does when it carries faint noises from a patient's chest to a doctor's ear. This focusing is the main reason that even relatively weak sounds in the ocean especially low frequency ones can often travel thousands of miles. |
| 1. The passage is chiefly about . |
| A. an effort to protect an endangered marine species B. the civilian use of a military detection system C. the exposure of a U. S. Navy top-secret weapon D. a new way to look into the behavior of blue whales |
| 2. The underwater listening system was originally designed . A. to mark and locate enemy ships B. to monitor deep-sea volcanic eruptions C. to study the movement of ocean currents D. to replace the global radio communications network |
| 3. The deep-sea listening system makes use of . |
| A. the complex technology of focusing sounds under water B. the capability of sound to travel at high speed C. the special quality of layers of ocean water in sending out sound D. low-frequency sounds traveling across different layers of water |
| 4. It can be inferred from the passage that . |
| A. new radio equipment should be developed for tracking the endangered blue whales B. blue whales are no longer endangered with the use of the new listening system C. opinions differ as to whether civilian scientists should be allowed to use military technology D. military technology has great potential in civilian use |
| 5. Which of the following is true about the U. S. Navy underwater listening network ? |
| A. It is now partly used by civilian scientists. B. It has been replaced by a more advanced system. C. It became useless to the military after the cold war. D. It is necessary in protecting endangered species. |

| A barn is where farmers keep animals and equipment. Over time as fewer and fewer people worked on the land, more and more barns were torn down to make way for developers. Others that remained might have fallen into poor condition. Or perhaps they just no longer satisfy the needs of modern farmers. Keeping an old barn in good condition might not be seen as worth the cost if it doesn't serve much purpose. But Americans with historic barns are being urged to save them. The magazine Successful Farming and the National Trust for Historic Preservation are working together on a program called Barn Again! The National Trust is a non-profit organization that works to provide protection for places of historic importance in America. The Barn Again program advises hundreds of barn owners every year. Awards are given for the projects that best succeed in restoring a barn for continued farm use. Winning buildings are used to demonstrate methods of preservation. The organization suggests how problems with things like stone and concrete block foundations can be fixed. With many old barns, the foundation they are built on is falling apart. Barn Again also offers advice for other repairs, like how to replace siding and how to use a power washer to remove loose paint. And farmers are given suggestions about how to calculate costs. Leo Fitzpatrick of Beaverton, Michigan won the 2004 Barn Again Award. He made one improvement at a time. The work took more than nine years. He did it himself, even though for a while he held another job in addition to farming. He says it cost him fourteen thousand dollars, much less than a new barn of similar size. The improvements include strengthening the barn. There are no structural supports inside the building; instead, its sizes hold it up. |

| Trees are useful to man in three very important ways: they provide him woods and products; they give him shade; and they help to prevent from droughts and floods. Unfortunately, in many parts of the world, man has not realized that the third of these services is the most important. In his eagerness to draw quick profit from the trees, he has cut them down in larg e numbers, only to find that without them he lost the best friends he had. Two thousand years ago, a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build warships, with which to gain itself an empire. It gained the empire, but without its trees its soil became hard and poor. When the empire fell to pieces, the country found itself faced with floods and starvation. Even when a government realizes the importance of a plentiful supply of trees, it is difficult for it to persuade the villagers to see this. The villagers want wood to cook their food with; and they can earn money by making charcoal or selling wood to the town man. They are usually too busy or too careless to plant and look after new trees. So, unless the government has a good system of control or can educate the people, the forests will slowly disappear. This does not only mean that the villagers' sons and grandsons have fewer trees. The results are even more serious: for where there are trees, their roots break the soil up-allowing the rain to sink in-and also bind the soil, thus preventing its being washed away easily; but where there are no trees, the rain falls on hard ground and flows away on the surface, causing floods and carrying away with it the rich top-soil, in which crops grow so well. When all the top-soil is gone, nothing remains but worthless desert. |
