         Israel was happy, very happy. The news of a deal to bring home the kidnapped soldier Gilad Shalit ,
    a young man held prisoner by Hamas for five years,spread.
         But the happiness was hardened by the reality of the price Israelis had paid to set him free. The 1,027 Palestinian prisoners to be exchanged for the single Israeli corporal turned out to include men and women
    convicted (宣判有罪) of some of the worst terrorist attacks in the country.
         "Ambivalent," says Aya Ilouz, of her feelings on the matter. Strolling in downtown Jerusalem with her
    husband Liron and their 5-month-old daughter Yael, the couple is so in sync on the question of the day
    that they finish each other's thoughts.
         "Yes," says Liron, "we are very happy and excited to see Gilad meet his family. And on the other
    hand-"
         "We are very concerned," says Aya.
         "About what happens next," Liron explains. "When the next terrorist blows himself up, someone will
    have to answer."
         Just around the corner, on King George Street, Alan Bauer had been walking home with his son on
    March 21, 2002, when a Palestinian man named Mohammad Hashaika exploded a suicide vest packed
    with metal scraps. Eighty-four people were wounded that day. Of the three killed, one was a woman
    pregnant with twins.
         Though the bomber of course died, Israeli courts convicted the two women who drove him to the site
    of the bombing, easing his way past the Israeli checkpoint by buying flowers to carry in the Mother's Day
    crowd.
         "These women, as I speak, are being released," Bauer says.
         Specifics have a way of weakening the joy of Shalit's release. Among the 477 prisoners released on
    Tuesday, in the first phase of the exchange, are an organizer of the 2002 Passover bombing that killed 30
    people; a woman who developed an online relationship with a lovesick Israeli youth she then had
    murdered when he came to meet her; and the man who proudly displayed his bloody hands to the mob
    (暴民) gathered outside the Ramallah building where two Israeli soldiers were beaten to death after
    making a wrong turn onOct. 12, 2000.
         When the list became public, relatives of terrorism victims appealed, without success, to Israel's
    supreme court to prevent the prisoner exchange. The court hearing was interrupted repeatedly by upset
    survivors, including Shvuel Schijveschuurder, who lost five of his family members in a 2001 attack at a
    Jerusalem Sbarro. To protest the release of the woman who drove the suicide bomber to the pizza
    restaurant, Schijveschuurder poured paint on a memorial to Yitzhak Rabin, the Prime Minister slain by an
    Israeli extremist for signing the Oslo Accords.
         "When we say 1,027 prisoners will be released, it's abstract, it doesn't mean anything," says Eliad
    Moreh Rosenberg, who was wounded in the 2002 terrorism bombing at the Hebrew University cafeteria. "But for victims of terror, it's a reality."
         Israeli officials calculate that 60% of those released resume terrorism attacks. To help prevent that
    resumption this time around, Israel insisted that most of the prisoners liberated be sent either to the Gaza
    Strip - which is sealed off from Israel and under the control of Hamas, which says it continues to observe
    a cease-fire - or into exile (流放) in Turkey, Qatar or Syria. About 100 arrived in the West Bank, where
    the government led by Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas works diligently to suppress
    terrorism, cooperating with Israeli intelligence and military.
         With the future uncertain, on Tuesday, Jewish Israelis stopped and stared at televisions wherever they
    came upon them. On the sidewalk at midmorning outside the 24-hour Hillel Market, 50 people were
    gathered under a flat screen to catch the first images of Shalit, looking painfully thin . "It was moving. It
    was very exciting," says Anat Rubin, 42. "I just saw photos of him getting out of the car. It gave me
    chills." But she says she heard Hamas say that, learning from success, it was keen to kidnap more Israelis
    in order to win freedom for the 6,000 Palestinians still in Israeli prisons. "I don't want to see the photos of
    them doing the V for victory," she says. "Like they won. They are really releasing murderers. I'm happy
    and sad all together."
    1. The word "Ambivalent" in paragraph 3 is close to _________ in meaning.
    A. happy          
    B. moved            
    C. contradicted        
    D. terrified
    2.Why do the Israelis feel concerned about the exchange of prisoners?
    A. Because it's not fair to exchange 1 with 1,027.
    B. Because they are concerned about the health of Shalit.
    C. Because they are worried more terrorist blows are coming.
    D. Because they want to know when and where the prisoners will be set free.
    3. Of the following statements, which one is TRUE?
    A. All the 1,027 prisoners were released at a time.
    B. Among the released prisoners, Shvuel Schijveschuurder was caught because he poured
         paint on a memorial to Yitzhak Rabin.
    C. All the Israelis are not for the prisoner exchange.
    D.  The released prisoners can go wherever they like.
    4. What's the main idea of the passage?
    A. Israeli people's attitudes to the prisoner exchange.
    B. How the kidnapped soldier Gilad Shalit managed to return home.
    C. The stories of many terrorist attack victims.
    D. Life of every single Israeli is highly valued.
    5. The underlined "them" in last paragraph is referring to __________.
    A. released Palestinians  
    B. Hamas    
    C. Israeli officials  
    D.  50 people under a flat screen

         Now comes word from the University of California, Berkeley, a new study has confirmed that the
    richer you are the less compassionate you are
         In a study just published in the journal Emotion, psychologist Jennifer Stellar sought to determine the
    empathic (感情移入的) capacities of a group of 300 college students, who had been hand-selected for
    maximum economic diversity. As a rule, college students have just one income level: poor. Stellar thus
    chose her subjects based on the income of the people who respond to the requests and write the checks:
    the parents.
         In the first of three experiments, she had 148 of her subjects fill out reports how often they experience
    emotions such as joy, love, compassion and horror. She also had them agree or disagree with statements
    like "I often notice people who need help." When the numbers on these lists were processed, Stellar
    found no meaningful personality differences among the students that could be attributable to income
    except one: across the board, the lower the subjects' family income, the higher their score on compassion.
         The second study involved 64 subjects who watched two videos - an emotionally neutral instructional
    video on construction techniques, and a far more charged one that involved real families coping with a
    cancer-stricken child. Again, the subjects filled out emotional lists and again they scored similarly. But the
    lower-income volunteers continued to come out higher on the compassion-and-empathy scale.
         During this study, Stellar also used heartbeat monitors to determine their physical reactions to the two
    videos. There was, not surprisingly, no difference in heart rate when the instructional video was playing,
    but when the cancer stories began, the heartbeats of the lower-income volunteers slowed noticeably-a
    counterintuitive (违反直觉的) sign of caring. An immediate threat to ourselves or another causes heart
    rate to jump, the better to snap into action to respond to the danger. An emotional crisis can have the
    opposite physical effect on observers - helping them settle down to provide the quieter attention that
    simply listening and comforting requires.
         In the final part of the study, 106 of the participants were paired off and told to interview each other
    as if they were applying for a position as lab manager. So that the subjects would have real skin in the
    game, the ones who performed best in the interviews - as judged by Stellar- would win a cash prize. All
    of the subjects reported feeling the same levels of stress or anxiety when they were being interviewed,
    but only the lower-income subjects were reliably able to detect the same feelings in their partner when the
    roles were reversed.
         So does this mean the rich really can't feel the poor? A low score on the compassion scale doesn't
    mean a lack of capacity for the feeling, Stellar argues. It may just mean a lack of experience
    observing-and tending to - the hardship others. Perhaps that helps explain why so many wealthy college
    kids find their way into the Peace Corps and other volunteer groups.
    1. According to the text, which of the following statement is true?
    A. All the subjects went through all the 3 experiments.
    B. Stellar carefully chose 300 college students according their personal income level.
    C. The rich really lacks the ability to feel pity for the poor.
    D. All the 3 experiments proved the same result.
    2. In Stella's opinion, the lower-income volunteers' heart rate lowers when ______.
    A. When they are having their first lesson in a new school.
    B. They are talking to someone they admire so much.
    C. They are trapped in a building suddenly on fire.
    D. They find someone is injured in an accident on the road.
    3. We can infer from the third experiment that ________.
    A. Lab manager is a position with low income.
    B. The lower-income subjects win the cash prize.
    C. The interviewers are stressed and anxious when interviewing others.
    D. Both the interviewers and interviewees know the feelings in each other.
    4. The underlined "across the board" probably means ________.
    A. applying to all                  
    B. on the opposite
    C. from one side to the other          
    D. for instance
    5. What can be the best title of the text?
    A. Without money? That's not a big deal
    B. Hate money? Then try to be low-income
    C. Got money? Then you might lack sympathy
    D. Too much money? Come to experience hardships

         Parents divorced, little Buddy was in the care of his mother's large Alabama family. Over the
    years, Buddy seldom saw either of his parents. But he was happy where he was and he had many
    kindly relatives, among whom Miss Sook was by far his best friend. Before Christmas, Buddy's
    father had managed to get legal custody(法定监护) of him for this Christmas. So, he had a new
    suit, with a card pinned with his name and address and made the trip alone, by bus, to New
    Orleans.
         Several things occurred that kept me awake the whole night. First, the footfalls, the noise of my father
    running up and down the stairs, breathing heavily, I had to see what he was up to. So I hid and watched.
    There was a Christmas tree and the fireplace downstairs. Moreover, I could see my father. He was
    crawling around under the tree arranging a pyramid of packages. I felt dizzy, for what I saw forced me to
    reconsider everything. If these were presents intended for me, then obviously they had not been ordered
    by the Lord and delivered by Santa Claus; no, they were gifts bought and wrapped by my father. Which
    meant that my rotten little cousin Billy Bob and other rotten kids like him weren't lying when they laughed
    at me and told me there was no Santa Claus. The worst thought was: Had Sook known the truth, and lied
    to me? No, Sook would never lie to me. She believed. It was just that-well, though she was
    sixty-something, in some ways she was at least as much of a child as I was.
         I waited until I was sure he was in bed and sound asleep. Then I crept downstairs and examined the
    tags attached to each of the packages. They all said: "For Buddy." I decided to open the packages: It
    was Christmas morning. I was awake, so why not? I won't bother to describe what was inside them: just
    shirts and sweaters and dull stuff like that. The only thing I appreciated was a toy gun. Somehow I got the
    idea it would be fun to waken my father by firing it. So I did. Bang. Bang. Bang. He raced out of his room, wild-eyed, Bang. Bang. Bang. "Buddy-what the hell do you think you're doing? Bang. Bang. Bang. "Stop
    that!" I laughed. " Look, Daddy. Look at all wonderful things Santa Claus brought me."
         Calm now, he walked into the room and hugged me. "You like what Santa Claus brought you?"
         I smiled at him. He smiled at me. There was a tender lingering (逗留不去的) moment, damaged
    when I said: "Yes. But what are you going to give me, Daddy?" His smile evaporated. His eyes narrowed
    suspiciously-you could see that he thought I was pulling some kind of trick. But then he blushed, as
    though he was ashamed to be thinking what he was thinking. He patted my head, and coughed and said: "Well, I thought I'd wait and let you pick out something you wanted. Is there anything particular you
    want?"
         I reminded him of the airplane we had seen in the toy store on Canal Street. His face sagged. Oh,
    yes, he remembered the airplane and how expensive it was. Nevertheless, the next day I was sitting in
    that airplane dreaming I was zooming toward heaven while my father wrote out a check for a happy
    salesman, who promised to help ship the plane on the bus. 
         But I wasn't free of New Orleans yet. The problem was a large bottle of wine; maybe it was because
    of my departure, but anyway my father had been drinking it all day, and on the way to the bus station, he
    scared me by grabbing my wrist and harshly whispering: "I'm not going to let you go. I can't let you go
    back to that crazy family in that crazy old house. Just look at what they've done to you. A boy six, almost
    seven, talking about Santa Claus! It's all their fault, all those sour old spinsters with their Bibles and their
    knitting needles, those drunken uncles. Listen to me, Buddy. There is no God! There is no Santa Claus."
    He was squeezing my wrist so hard that it ached. "Kiss me. Please. Please. Kiss me. Tell your daddy
    that you love him." But I couldn't speak. I was terrified I was going to miss my bus. And I was worried
    about my plane, which was strapped to the top of the taxi. "Say it: 'I love you.' Say it. Please. Buddy. Say
    it."
         It was lucky for me that our taxi-driver was a good-hearted man. Because if it hadn't been for his help, and the help of some efficient porters and a friendly policeman, I don't know what would have happened
    when we reached the station. My father was so drunk he could hardly walk, but the policeman talked to
    him, quieted him down, helped him to stand straight, and the taxi-man promised to take him safely home.
    But my father would not leave until he had seen the porters put me on the bus.
         Once I was on the bus, I crouched in a seat and shut my eyes. I felt the strangest pain. A crushing pain
    that hurt everywhere. I thought if I took off my heavy city shoes, those crucifying monsters, the agony
    would ease. I took them off, but the mysterious pain did not leave me. In a way it never has; never will.
         Twelve hours later I was home in bed. The room was dark. Sook was sitting beside me, rocking in a
    rocking chair, a sound as soothing (令人舒畅的) as ocean waves. I had tried to tell her everything that
    had happened, and only stopped when I was hoarse (嘶哑的) as a howling dog. She stroked her fingers
    through my hair, and said: "Of course there is a Santa Clause. It's just that no single somebody could do
    all he has to do. So the Lord has spread the task among us all. That's why everybody is Santa Claus. I
    am. You are. Even you cousin Billy Bob. Now go to sleep. Count stars. Think of the quietest thing. Like
    snow. I'm sorry you didn't get to see any. But now snow is falling through the stars-" Stars sparkled,
    snow whirled inside my head; the last thing I remembered was the peaceful voice of the Lord telling me
    something I must do. And the next day I did it. I went with Sook to the post office and bought a penny
    postcard. That same postcard exists today. It was found in my father's safety deposit box when he died
    last year. Here is what I had written him: Hello pop hope you are well I am and I am turning to
    pedal my plane so fast I will soon be in the sky so keep your eyes open and yes I love you Buddy.

                                                        Tips on Being a Good Twitterer
         Twitter or micro-blogging, is really more of a social commons than a full-blown social network like MySpace or Facebook. It pretty much does one thing: allows people to "tweet" what they're up to (or what
    they're thinking about) in 140 characters or less.
    Since we're sticking with the "less is more" aesthetic, I'm just going to give you 5 Twitter tips instead of
    the 10 I could have stretched this into.
    1. ________
         Say whatever you feel like saying, but remember that whatever you write could exist in the digital
    universe forever. Proceed with extreme caution.
    2. ________
         If you like something they say, reply by clicking the little grey arrow that appears when you hover
    over one of their tweets. You can also simply type in @username (replacing "username" with whatever
    their username happens to be on Twitter). This is the formal way to address someone on Twitter.
    3. ________
         Twitter has something called an API (Application Programming Interface), which allows programmers
    to create experiences around Twitter for the community. Because of this, there have been an amazing
    array of applications released that will allow you to manage your Twitter account easily. There's
    Twitterrific, TweetDeck, and Twhirl-just to name a few.
    4. ________
         If you're looking for new friends, a quick search for some of your favorite things on search.twitter.
    com will quickly reveal who you should be friending on Twitter. Maybe they'll follow you back?
    5.________
          Keep your eye out for these things. They're meetups for people on Twitter, and there's likely one
    happening regularly in your neck of the woods. I've taken to hosting one monthly in the Seattle area, as a
    matter of fact. Meet Twitter people-tweeps, tweeple-in meatspace!
    Do you have any Twitter tips to pass along? You could even share the link to this article on Twitter and it might become the most popular story today!

         Years of school life has taught me a lot of things, by which teamwork is the most important for me.
          In fact, I didn't realize its importance after I was choosing monitor of my class in my senior middle
    school. At first, I did most of the duties myself while other students cared much about class activities. As
    a result, I tired out and depressed. Then I turned to my teacher and he advised me to cooperate with the
    others. Thus I begin to recognize the strength of my classmates and have everyone do my part in class.
         It is working in teams instead of on my own that has freed me of troubles and made my work more
    efficiently.
