| More Than I Had Dreamed Of From the time I was seven, I had a dream of becoming a member of the Students Union. I always 1 my school leaders for taking responsibility for all of us. So I dreamed of being a leader. Years flew by, and soon I was able to participate in the elections, 2 I would win. But the reality struck that I hadn't had a chance. I wasn't pretty. Girls across the school hardly knew me. I just did not have what it 3 to win a school election. I was 4 . As I cried in my room that evening, I 5 took a deep breath and decided I wouldn't stop dreaming. I decided that I would 6 elections again in my final year at school-and I would win. I recognized that my 7 had a lot of things in their favor. What were the 8 that would work in my favor? I had good grades, and I was friendly and helpful. And my biggest 9 was the faith I had. I would not allow my 10 appearance to hold me back from putting my best foot forward. That evening, I 11 my election plans a whole year in advance. I realized that girls would have to get to know me and recognize that I had the ability to 12 them. I loved making friends and I liked being helpful, 13 I decided that perhaps I could use these qualities to work to my advantage. In order to learn how to present a great election 14 , I also attended a course on effective public speaking. The day after the election, when the principal announced I won the second highest number of votes, the students 15 . That joy on the faces of all my friends showed me that my victory was 16 theirs. Suddenly, I realized that I had 17 much more than I had dreamed of. I had made many new friends and had helped people 18 the way. I had won the 19 and love of my school-mates and they knew me as somebody who would stand by them. I was able to put a smile on their faces and 20 their day. | ||||

| Modern inventions have speeded up people's lives amazingly. Motor-cars cover a hundred miles in little more than an hour, aircraft cross the world a day, while computers operate at lightning speed. Indeed, this love of speed seems never-ending. Every year motor-cars are produced which go even faster and each new computer boasts (吹嘘) of saving precious seconds in handling tasks. All this saves time, but at a price. When we lose or gain half a day in speeding across the world in an airplane, our bodies tell us so. We get the uncomfortable feeling known as jet-lag; our bodies feel that they have been left behind in another time zone. Again, spending too long at computers results in painful wrists and fingers. Mobile phones also have their danger, according to some scientists; too much use may transmit harmful radiation into our brains, a consequence we do not like to think about. However, what do we do with the time we have saved? Certainly not relax, or so it seems. We are so accustomed to constant activity that we find it difficult to sit and do nothing, or even just one thing at a time. Perhaps the days are long gone when we might listen quietly to a story on the radio, letting imaginations take us into another world. There was a time when some people's lives were devoted simply to the cultivation of the land or the care of cattle. No multi-tasking there; their lives went on at a much gentler pace, and in a familiar pattern. There is much that we might envy about a way of life like this. Yet before we do so, we must think of the hard tasks our ancestors faced; they farmed with bare hands, often lived close to hunger, and had to fashion tools from wood and stone. Modem machinery has freed people from that primitive existence. |
| 1. The new products become more and more time-saving because ______. |
| A. time is limited B. the manufacturers boast a lot C. the prices are increasingly high D. our love on speed seems never-ending |
| 2. What does "the days" in Paragraph 3 refer to? |
| A. Imaginary life. B. Times of inventions. C. Simple life in the past. D. Time for constant activity. |
| 3. What is the author's attitude towards the modern technology? |
| A. Critical. B. Objective. C. Optimistic. D. Negative. |
| 4. What does the passage mainly discuss? |
| A. The present and past times. B. Machinery and human beings. C. Imaginations and inventions. D. Modern technology and its influence. |

| The US Department of Labor statistics show that there is an oversupply of college trained workers and that this oversupply is increasing. Already there have been more than enough teachers, engineers, physicists, aerospace experts, and other specialists. Yet colleges and graduate schools continue every year to turn out highly trained people to compete for jobs that aren't there. The result is that graduates cannot enter the professions for which they were trained and must take temporary jobs which do not require a college degree. On the other hand, there is a great need for skilled workers of all sorts: carpenters, electricians, mechanics, plumbers, TV repairmen. These people have more work than they can deal with, and their annual incomes are often higher than those of college graduates. The old gap that white-collar workers make a better living than blue collar workers no longer holds true. The law of supply and demand now favors the skilled workmen. The reason for this situation is the traditional myth that college degree is a passport to a prosperous future. A large part of American society matches success in life equally with a college degree. Parents begin indoctrinating (灌输) their children with this myth before they are out of grade school. High school teachers play their part by acting as if high school education were a preparation for college rather than for life. Under this pressure the kids fall in line. Whether they want to go to college or not doesn't matter. Everybody should go to college, so of course they must go. And every year college enrollments go up and up, and more and more graduates are overeducated for the kinds of jobs available to them. One result of this emphasis on a college education is that many people go to college who do not belong there. Of the sixty percent of high school graduates who enter college, half of them do not graduate with their class. Many of them drop out within the first year. Some struggle on for two or three years and then give up. |
| 1. It's implied but not stated in the passage that ______. |
| A. many other countries are facing the same problem B. fewer students will prefer to go to college in the future C. the law of supply and demand has a strong effect on American higher education D. white-collar workers in the US used to make more money than blue-collar workers |
| 2. Which of the following is NOT a reason why the number of college students goes up every year? |
| A. Many parents want their children to go to college. B. Every young man and woman wants to go to college. C. High school teachers urge their students to go to college. D. Many people believe that the only way to success is a college education. |
| 3. By saying that "many people go to college who do not belong there", the author means that______. |
| A. many people who do not have enough money go to college B. many people who go to college have their hopes destroyed C. many people who go to college drop out within the first year D. many people who are not fit for college education go to college |
| 4. We can infer from the passage that the author believes that ______. |
| A. college education is a bad thing B. every young man and woman should go to college C. people with a college education should receive higher pay D. fewer people should go to college while more should be trained for skilled jobs |

| There are many acceptable varieties of English throughout the world. Whichever variety is used in your country, the most important thing is that students' pronunciation must be good enough for another person to understand what they are trying to say. In a PPP lesson, teachers naturally include a good model of the pronunciation when they are presenting new vocabulary, grammar or functional language. It is important to start by helping your students recognize sounds before you expect them to produce them. Spoken British English has 44 sounds, but there are only 26 letters in the alphabet for written English. This sometimes makes English pronunciation and spelling different, so it is not always best to write words on the blackboard at the early stages. Also, some sounds in English do not exist in some other languages. This can make it very difficult for students to recognize these sounds and even more difficult for them to pronounce them correctly. So some students need to do a lot of work on these sounds, listening to them, trying to recognize them and trying to copy them. If you can understand and pronounce the symbols of the phonetic alphabet, this will help you to pronounce any word in the dictionary. You can teach this phonetic alphabet to your students and this will make teaching pronunciation much easier. However, you can teach pronunciation effectively without knowing the phonetic alphabet. Pronouncing English well is not just about getting the individual sounds right. Students need to know: * which parts of a word are stressed (spoken louder and longer); * which parts of a sentence are stressed; * basic intonation patterns; * what it means when we change the intonation in a sentence (the music of the language); * how to link together the sounds within a sentence. Students need practice in all these areas to improve their pronunciation. |
| 1. The passage is most probably from ______. |
| A. a book for English learning B. a book for English teaching C. an ad for English teaching D. a grammar book for English learning |
| 2. Following up the passage, the author will probably ______. |
| A. say how to teach the phonetic alphabet B. emphasize the importance of correct pronunciation C. explain in detail how to practise the five suggestions D. write about how to teach pronunciation without the phonetic alphabet |
| 3. In the author's opinion, ______. |
| A. it is not necessary to pronounce every word correctly B. the English phonetic alphabet is a must in teaching pronunciation C. students should pronounce every word as precisely as native speakers D. pronunciation means more than knowing how to pronounce every single word |
| 4. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? |
| A. Suggestions on Teaching English Pronunciation. B. Listening Comes First in Teaching Pronunciation. C. The English Phonetic Alphabet and Pronunciation. D. Other Things to Be Done besides Pronouncing Every Word. |

| Profits of Praise Are we too quick to blame and slow to praise? It seems we are. Praise is like sunlight to the human spirit; we cannot flower and grow without it. And yet, while most of us are only too ready to apply to others the cold wind of criticism, we are somehow unwilling to give others the warm sunshine of praise. It's strange how mean we are about praising. Perhaps it's because few of us know how to accept praise gracefully. Instead, we are embarrassed and shrug off the words we are really so glad to hear. Because of this defensive reaction, direct compliments are surprisingly difficult to give. That is why some of the most valued pats on the back are those which come to us indirectly, in a letter or passed on by a friend. Do you ever go into a house and say, "What a tidy room!" Hardly anybody does. That's why housework is considered such a boring job. Shakespeare said, "Our praises are our wages." Since so often praise is the only wage a housewife receives, surely she is well worth praising. Mothers know naturally that for children an ounce of praise is worth a pound of scolding. Still, we're not always aware of children's small achievements and we seldom apply the rule. One day I was criticizing my children for quarreling. "Can you never play peacefully?" I shouted. Susanna looked at me, confused. "Of course we can," she said. "But you don't notice us when we do." Teachers agree about the value of praise. "I believe that a student knows when he has handed in something above his usual standard," writes a teacher, "and that he waits and is hungry for a brief comment in the margin to show him that the teacher is aware of it, too." Behavioral scientists have done countless experiments to prove that any human being have a tendency to repeat an act which has been immediately followed by a pleasant result. In one such experiment, a number of schoolchildren were divided into three groups and given arithmetic tests daily for five days. One group was consistently praised for its previous performance; another group was criticized; the third was ignored. Not surprisingly, those who were praised improved dramatically. Those who were criticized improved also, bus not so much. And the scores of the children who were ignored hardly improved at all. Interestingly the brightest children were helped just as much by criticism as by praise, but the less able children reacted badly to criticism, needed praise the most. Yet the latter are the very youngsters who, in most schools, fail to get the pat on the back. To give praise costs the giver nothing but a moment's thought and a moment's effort-perhaps a quick phone call to pass on your praise, or five minutes spent writing an appreciative letter. It is such a small investment-and yet consider the results it may produce. "I can live for two months on a good compliment," said Mark Twain. So, let's be alert to the small excellences around us-and comment on them. We will not only bring joy into other people's lives, but also, very often, added happiness into our own.
