| My husband is an engineer. Since we met, he has always been the rock in my life.I knew he had his feet 1 planted on the ground, and it seemed that no matter what else went 2 , he would be the constant one. Three years of romance and two years of marriage later, I began to feel 3 of him because he never brought me flowers, he never 4 me, and nothing had changed in our marriage. After 5 , I finally told him I wanted to be 6 . He just sat there, speechless and didn't even know 7 to say to make me stay. Finally, he spoke, "What can I do to change your 8 ?" "I'll stay if you have a good answer 9 this question, "I replied coldly. "If I asked for a 10 growing on a cliff, and getting it for me 11 certain death, would you still do so?" His face grew troubled. "Can I give you the answer tomorrow morning?" With that, my heart 12 . He couldn't even give me an answer 13 away. The next morning, I found he was 14 . However, I found a note under a warm glass of milk. My eyes 15 misty(湿润)as I was reading it. " Dear, I'll give you my 16 . After you do typing for a long time, I need my 17 to do it for you. Every time you leave the house, you forget your keys. I need my legs to run 18 and open the door for you.... that's why I cannot pick the flower for you..." With tears 19 from my eyes, I opened the door. And there he was, with an extremely worried look on his face, waving the packet he had in his hand in front of me. Just because someone doesn't love you 20 you want him to, it doesn't mean that he doesn't love you heart and soul. | ||||

| I was reading these intriguing stories behind a group of great logos in the world. Personally Nike is my favorite one-it's so simple. And I liked the stories behind them, which made me forget all other things. McDonald's, Apple, Mercedes Benz and Adidas own great logos as well, and they are among my very favorites. Nike In the Greek myth, Nike is the goddess of victory and the source of inspiration for soldiers. This logo represents the wing in the famous statue of the Greek goddess. Nike's logo was designed by Carolyn Davidson in 1971 for $35, and was registered as a trademark in 1995. McDonald's The logo was designed in 1962 by Jim Schindler to resemble the archshaped signs on the side of the company's then walkup hamburger stand. Later on, the two golden arches were combined together to form the M. The McDonald's name was added to the logo in 1968. Apple There are different stories behind Apple's logo. The first logo was a reference to the religious story of Adam and Eve, in which the apple represented the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. One year later, the second logo was designed in 1977 by Steve Jobs and Ronald Wayne, and it described Sir Isaac Newton sitting under an apple tree. This logo didn't stay long. One year later it was replaced almost immediately by graphic designer Rob Janoff's "rainbow apple", a rainbowcolored silhouette(轮廓) of an apple with a bite taken out of it. And then the rainbowcolored apple was replaced by the onecolored logo in 1998. It has not been changed so far. Mercedes Benz The Mercedes Benz logo, which was originally created by Gottlieb Daimler in 1909, consists of a simple description of a threepointed star that represents its rule of the land, the sea and the air. The company was founded by Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach. Marcedes is the name of Maybach's elder daughter, while Benz came as a result of a combination with Benz, Cie. and DMG in 1926. Adidas The Adidas logo, which was created by the founder of the company Adi Dassler, represents mountains, pointing towards the challenges that are seen ahead and goals that can be achieved. The logo was used for the first time in 1967. 1. What does the author think of the stories of the great logos? A. They are boring. B. They are out of date. C. They are attractive. D. They are practical. 2. What does Nike's logo stand for? A. The goddess of victory. B. The source of inspiration for soldiers. C. The statue of the Greek goddess. D. The wing of the Greek goddess. 3. We can learn that Apple's present logo is ________. A. the religious story of Adam and Eve B. a bitten apple with only one color C. Newton's sitting under an apple tree D. the rainbowcolored bitten apple 4. Which of the following time orders describes the births of the great logos? A. Mercedes Benz-McDonald's-Nike-Apple B. Nike-McDonald's-Apple-Mercedes Benz C. McDonald's-Apple-Nike-Mercedes Benz D. Nike-Mercedes Benz-McDonald's-Apple |

| There are several advantages in planting trees:they firm the soil, soak(渗透) up extra water and take carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere. However, it now turns out that planting trees could add to global warming. We all know that tree roots do a great job of keeping soil firmly on the ground and out of the wind's power. The problem is that some of the dust clouds play an important part in soaking up carbon dioxide. Huge dust storms blow out over the oceans from dry parts of North Africa and Central Asia. Tons of dust are lifted and left as a thin film over the ocean surface. Dust from China is carried east and left in the Pacific Ocean. If a treeplanting programme there is successful and the dust supply reduced, the net result may be that less carbon dioxide gets locked away in the ocean. Andy, an environmental scientist has spent the past few years studying dust and says his work shows clearly the complexity of the system. For this reason the need is to focus on cutting carbon dioxide giving off rather than doing anything else. Robert, an American scientist, has shown that when native grassland areas are invaded by trees, carbon is lost from the soil. "We are studying why the soil carbon disappears, but one theory is that trees do a lot more of their growing above ground compared to grass, so less carbon goes directly into the soil from trees." said Robert. In wet areas of the world, the gain from trees absorbing carbon dioxide above ground seems to be outweighed by the loss of carbon from the soil below ground. Countries that plan to fight against global warming by planting trees may have to think again. Solutions to environmental problems are often more complex than they first appear, and understanding the Earth's climate is a very great challenge. 1. People usually hold the opinion that ________. A. huge dust storms can destroy carbon dioxide B. planting trees could reduce global warming C. huge dust storms can destroy the oceans on the Earth D. planting trees is the only way to control huge dust storms 2. Andy, an environmental scientist, believes that________. A. environmental problems are more complex than expected B. trees shouldn't have been planted in dry places C. dust plays a more important part than trees D. carbon dioxide is harmful to everything 3. Robert's experiment proves that ________. A. trees absorb more carbon than grass B. carbon can turn grass into dust C. less carbon can make trees grow faster D. grassland areas should be covered by forests 4. The best title for this passage is "________". A. The importance of planting trees B. The dust clouds soak up carbon dioxide C. Is it really useful to plant trees to reduce global warming? D. Why the soil carbon disappears |

| However important school life may be, we can't ignore the fact that children spend more time at home than in the classroom. Therefore the great influence of parents can't be ignored or discounted by the teacher. They can become strong supports of the school or they can consciously or unconsciously prevent the school from accomplishing its aims. Administrators have been aware of the need to keep_parents_apprised_of the newer methods used in schools. Many principals have conducted workshops explaining such matters as the reading readiness program and developmental math. Moreover, the classroom teacher can also play an important role in explaining to parents what they should do. The informal tea and many interviews carried on during the year, as well as new ways of reporting pupils' progress, can significantly aid the interchange of ideas between school and home. Suppose that a father has been drilling Junior in arithmetic processes night after night. In a friendly interview, the teacher can help the parent change his method. He might be persuaded to let Junior participate in discussing the family budget, buying the food, using a measuring cup at home, setting the clock, calculating mileage on a trip and engage in scores of other activities that have a mathematical basis. If the father follows the advice, it is reasonable to assume that he will soon realize his son is making satisfactory progress in math and at the same time, enjoying the work. Too often, however, teachers' conferences with parents are devoted to unimportant accounts of children's wrongdoing, complaints about laziness and poor work habits, and suggestions for punishments and rewards at home. What is needed is a more creative approach in which the teacher, as a professional advisor, plants ideas in parents' minds for the best use of the many hours that the child spends out of the classroom. In this way, the school and the home join forces in fostering the fullest development of youngsters' competence. 1. The underlined phrase "keep parents apprised of" in Para.2 probably means to let parents ______. A. judge B. know C. design D. develop 2. What is the purpose of the schools' informal tea and interviews? A. To improve the relationship between teachers and parents. B. To explain to parents the change of the school curriculum. C. To report students' misdoings and suggestions for punishments. D. To help develop good communication between school and home. 3. Why does the author provide the example in Paragraph 4? A. To help parents know the importance of home activities. B. To show how the teacher can guide in home training. C. To prove parents are nonprofessional advisors. D. To advise parents to teach kids math at home. 4. From the passage we learn that the author ________. A. thinks teachers should do better as professionals B. is worried about children's performance at home C. is satisfied with the present state of school education D. believes time spent out of the classroom has been wasted |

| Dear Economist, My newlywedded wife and I are deeply in love. There is, however, one issue that threatens the happiness of our marriage. I absolutely insist on shopping at Walmart. My wife, meanwhile, would rather avoid Walmart at all costs. I have recently tried to convince her that not only does Walmart offer the lowest prices known to man, but that the chain is also a force for good-lower prices mean better standards of living for all consumers, increased global trade means a tighterknit(紧密团结的) international community, and efficient operations translate into higher productivity growth for the economy. My wife complains about poor labour policies, the fact that Walmart squeezes suppliers, and that it puts local shops out of business. Who is right? Will our marriage survive? Brian Gee Dear Brian, I have to agree with you about Walmart. Jason Furman, then an economist at New York University, now an adviser to President Obama, famously argued in 2005 that Walmart was unwittingly (不知不觉地) a progressive success story.The chain's prices don't much affect me(I prefer Whole Foods)but Furman estimated that they benefited lowandmiddleincome Americans to the sum of around $250 billion a year. Walmart does not pay much, so it may depress wages.Then again, it may increase wages by offering jobs to the otherwise-unemployed. Either way, the benefits of low prices to Walmart shoppers far outweigh any seemingly reasonable costs to Walmart employees. And while it is true that Walmart employees tend to be poor, the same is true of Walmart shoppers. Armed with this information you can face your wife with confidence. You are sure to win the conversation. The divorce is likely to be more argued. Economist 1. What concerned Brian Gee so much that he wrote the letter? A. His wife refuses to shop at Walmart. B. They are faced with a divorce. C. They can't afford the costs of shopping at Walmart. D. They are in conflict about shopping at Walmart. 2. Brian Gee's wife tends to hold the opinion that________. A. it is wrong for Walmart to depress its employees' wages B. consumers' lives have improved thanks to Walmart C. Walmart's business operation increased productivity in economy D. Walmart's business increases global trade 3. What can be inferred from the reply letter? A. Some employees accept the low pay to keep the job. B. Walmart appeals to only poor consumers and poor employees. C. Employees suffer from Walmart's low prices more than consumers. D. Jason Furman, a New York University economist, spoke highly of Walmart. |
