         "You will never walk again. You will have to use a wheelchair. " I heard his   1   fall heavily on my
    ears, numbing my soul. If I had never felt hopeless before, I felt hopeless then.
         The car accident had left me unconscious. When   2  , I found both legs in casts (石膏). While I had
    other serious injuries, my   3   were my first concern. Working as a special needs teacher and busy and
    active by nature, I couldn't imagine being   4   in a wheelchair.

    few small steps.   17  , he could only watch as I turned and started back to bed. All of the pain, the fear,
    and the struggle   18   as I heard the words I had longed to hear, "Mommy, you can walk!"
         I  am now able to walk alone, sometimes using a stick. I am able to take public transportation to shop
    and visit friends. My life has been blessed with (有幸得到) many   19   of which I am proud. But none
    has ever brought me the satisfaction and joy   20   by those four little words of my son.

         After a year in America, I have learned some interesting American expressions. Many people believe
    that money makes the world go around. I do not agree with the idea. But I do admit that money can make people do strange things. Let me tell you about a person I once knew who liked to gamble (赌博).
         My friend Bob had a problem because he liked to gamble at all costs. He would play at any time and
    at any price. Sometimes my friend would clean up. He would win a lot of money on one card game.
    Other times my friend would simply break even. He neither won nor lost money. But sometimes Bob
    would lose his shirt. When this happened, my friend would have to go into debt and owe people money.
         Recently, Bob turned to crime after losing all his money. In his job, he kept the books for a small
    business. He supervised (监管) the records of money earned and spent by the company. Although my
    friend was usually honest, he decided to cook the books. He illegally changed the financial records of the
    company. This permitted him to make a fast buck - he made some quick, easy money dishonestly.
         Bob used the money he stole from his company to gamble again. Quickly he was back on his feet,
    returning to good financial health. His company, however, ended up in the red, owing lots of money.
         It did not take long before his dishonesty was discovered. The company investigated and charged him with stealing. He ended up in jail. Today, I would bet my bottom dollar that my friend will never gamble
    again. I would bet all I have that he learned his lesson from gambling.
    1. When a person will "lose his shirt" (para. 2) in gambling, we mean that ________.
    A. he will win all the money to the gambling table
    B. he will neither win nor lose money
    C. he decides to give up gambling
    D. he will lose all his money
    2. If a company doesn't run well, it will ________.
    A. be back on its feet
    B. end up in the red
    C. make a fast buck
    D. break even
    3. What job does Bob do?
    A. A salesman.
    B. A typist.
    C. An accountant.
    D. A secretary.
    4. What is the purpose of the passage?
    A. To talk about the danger of gambling.
    B. To explain some American expressions related to money.
    C. To prove that money can make people do strange things.
    D. To explain the writer's attitude towards money.

                                                          It Tastes Just Like Chicken
         Away from home, eating is more than just a way to keep your stomach full. It is a language all its own, and no words can say, "Glad to meet you … glad to be doing business with you ..." quite like sharing a
    meal offered by your host.
         Clearly, mealtime is not the time for you to say, "Thanks, but no." Acceptance of the food on your
    plate means acceptance of the host, the country, and the company. So, no matter how difficult it may be
    to swallow (吞咽), swallow. Or, as one experienced traveler says, "Travel with a cast-iron (铸铁的)
    stomach and eat everything everywhere."
         Often, the food offered represents proudly your host country's eating culture. What would Americans
    think of a French person who refused to take a bite of homemade apple pie or sirloin? Our discomfort
    comes not so much from the thing itself; it comes from our unfamiliarity (不熟悉) with it. After all, an
    oyster has remarkably the same look as a sheep's eye; and a first look at a lobster would remind almost
    anybody of a creature from a science fiction movie, not something you dip in butter and eat. By the way,
    in Saudi Arabia sheep's eyes are a famous dish and in parts of China it's pig's tails.
         Can you refuse such food without being rude? Most experienced business travelers say no, at least
    not before taking at least a few bites. It helps, though, to slice (切) any item very thin. This way, you
    minimize (最小化) the taste and the reminder of where it came from. Or, "Swallow it quickly," as one
    traveler recommends. "I still can't tell you what sheep's eyeballs taste like." As for dealing with taste, the
    old line that "it tastes just like chicken" is often thankfully true. Even when the "it" is really rat or snake.
         Another useful piece of advice is not knowing what you are eating. What's for dinner? Don't ask.  
    Avoid glancing into the kitchen or looking at English-language menus. Your host will be pleased that you
    are eating the food he offers, and who knows? Maybe it really is chicken in that soup.
    1. The purpose of the article is to _________.
    A. introduce unfamiliar food
    B. share the writer's personal experiences
    C. suggest ways to overcome a cultural barrier (障碍)
    D. advise on how to politely refuse to eat foreign food
    2. According to the writer, people hesitate (犹豫) at strange food mainly due to _________.
    A. the way it looks                  
    B. safety worries
    C. not knowing much about it    
    D. the unfamiliar atmosphere
    3. From the article we can infer that ________.
    A. an American may feel comfortable with apple pie
    B. one should refuse strange food after a few bites
    C. English-language menus are not always dependable
    D. one needs a cast-iron stomach to travel in other cultures
    4. One may say "It tastes just like chicken." when __________. 
    A. showing respect for chicken-loving nations
    B. greeting people with different dieting habits
    C. judging chefs at an international food festival
    D. getting someone to try an unpleasant meal

         We tell ourselves that life will be better once we are married, have a baby, then another. Then we get
    frustrated (沮丧的)because our children are not old enough and that all will be well when they are older.
    Then we are frustrated because they reach teenage years and we must deal with them. Surely we'll be
    happier when they grow out of the teen years.
         We tell ourselves our life will be better when our spouse (配偶) gets his/her act together, when we
    have a nicer car, when we can take a vacation, when we finally retire. The truth is that there is no better
    time to be happy than right now. If not, then when? Your life will always be full of challenges. It is better
    to admit as much and to decide to be happy in spite of it all.
         For the longest time, it seemed that life was about to start-real life.
         But there were always some obstacles (挫折) along the way, an ordeal (苦难) to get through, some
    work to be finished, some time to be given, a bill to be paid. Then life would start. It finally occurred to
    me that that those obstacles were part of life. Little by little, that point of view also helped me see that
    there isn't any road to happiness.
         Happiness is the road. So, enjoy every moment. And keep in mind that __________. So stop waiting
    for school to end, for a return to school, to lose ten pounds, to gain ten pounds, for work to begin, to
    get married, for Friday evening, for Sunday morning, waiting for a new car, for your mortgage (借款) to
    be paid off, for spring, for summer, for fall, for winter, for the first or the fifteenth of the month, for your
    song to be played on the radio, to die, to be reborn… before deciding to be happy.
         Happiness is a voyage, not a destination. There is no better time to be happy than… NOW! Live and
    enjoy the moment!
    1. The most proper title for the passage should be______.
    A. Happiness is a Challenge  
    B. Happiness is a Destination  
    C. Happiness is a Dream   
    D. Happiness is a Process
    2. The first two paragraphs mainly tell us_______.
    A. life is a worthwhile but challenging voyage
    B. so long as you believe you can, you can
    C. people often think the future will be better than now
    D. people feel confused about their life
    3. The writer thinks _______is a real happiness
    A. setting our imagination free
    B. enjoying our present life
    C. finding our own shortcut to success
    D. facing obstacles and challenges bravely
    4. Which of the sayings can fill in the blank in the fourth paragraph?
    A. Time waits for no one
    B. Time is money.
    C. Tomorrow is another day.
    D. Time can work wonders

         When an emergency (紧急) situation occurs, observers are more likely to take action if there are few
    or no other witnesses (目击者). This phenomenon (现象) is referred to as the "bystander effect".
         The bystander effect is also called the "Genovese effect", which is named after Catherine  Genovese,
    a young woman who was cruelly murdered on March 13, 1964. Early in the morning, 28-year-old
    Genovese was returning home from work. As she approached her apartment entrance, she was attacked
    and stabbed (刺) by a man later identified as Winston Moseley. Despite Genovese's repeated cries for
    help, none of the dozen or so people in the nearby apartment building who heard her cries called police
    for help. The attack first began at 3:20, but it was not until 3:50 that someone first contacted police.
         Many psychologists were set thinking by the incident, as well as most Americans. As the conclusion,
    the bystander effect came out and later proved by a series of studies and experiments.
         There are two major factors that contribute to the bystander effect. First, the presence of other
    people creates a division (分散) of responsibility. Because there are other observers, individuals do not
    feel as much pressure to take action, since the responsibility to take action is thought to be shared among
    all of those present. The second reason is the need to behave in correct and socially acceptable ways.
    When other observers fail to react, individuals often take this as a signal that a response is not needed or
    not proper.
         Other researchers have found that onlookers are less likely to take action if the situation is uncertain.
    In the case of Genovese, many of the 38 witnesses reported that they believed they were witnessing a
    "lovers'quarrel", and did not realize that the young woman was actually being murdered.
    1. The bystander effect is also called the "Genovese effect" because          .  
    A. it somehow caused the murder of a woman named Genovese
    B. its discovery resulted from the murder of a woman named Genovese
    C. it was actually discovered by a woman named Genovese
    D. it always makes people think of a woman named Genovese
    2. Which could NOT be a reason for the neighbors standing by instead of offering Genovese help?
    A. They believed in the bystander effect.            
    B. They thought someone else might help her.
    C. They didn't think they should help.
    D. They didn't think she needed help.
    3.  Before deciding to offer help, observers may         , according to the psychologists.  
    A. wait for sort of a signal
    B. consider the risk of getting hurt

    In England boys and girls usually have two months to  
    rest after the final exams. Not only the rich but also factory    
    workers or bus drivers can take our children to the seaside
    for their holidays. Why do children like spending their summer        
    holidays on the seaside? It is because that they like the sand,  
    the cool wind and the salt water there more than anything else.          
    Of course, there are plenty of new things to see, nice things to  
    eat and excited things to do, but it is the feelings of sand  
    under one's feet, of cool wind on one's skin, and of warm            
    sun on one's back that make the seaside what it was.
