| I used to believe in the American dream that meant a job, credit and success.I wanted it and worked toward it like everyone else, all of us separately chasing the same thing. One year, through a series of unhappy events, it all fell apart.I found myself homeless and alone.I had my truck and $56.I searched the countryside for some place I could rent for the cheapest possible amount.I came upon a deserted cottage in a small remote valley.I hadn’t been alone for 25 years.I was scared, but I hoped the hard work would distract and heal me. I found the owner and rented the place for $50 a month.The locals knew nothing about me.But slowly they started teaching me the art of being a neighbor.They dropped off blankets, tools and canned deer meat and began sticking around to chat.They would ask if I wanted to meet cousin Albie or go fishing. They started to teach me a belief in a different American dream, not the one of individual achievement but of neighborliness.Men would stop by with wild berries, ice cream or truck parts to see if I was up for courting.I wasn’t, but they were civil anyway.The women on that mountain worked harder than any I’d ever met.They taught me how to store food in the stream and keep it cold and safe.I_learned_to_keep_ enough_for_an_extra_plate_for_company. What I had believed in, all those things I thought were necessary for a civilized life, were nonexistent in this place.Up on the mountain, my most valuable possessions were my relationships with my neighbors. After four years in that valley, I moved back into town.I saw a lot of people were having a really hard time, losing their jobs and homes.With the help of a real estate broker (房地产经纪人) I chatted up at the grocery store, I managed to rent a big enough house to take in a handful of people.It’s four of us now, but over time I’ve had nine come in and move on to other places from here.We’d all be in shelters if we hadn’t banded together. The American dream I believe in now is a shared one.It’s not so much about what I can get for myself; it’s about how we all can get by together. 1. Before a series of unhappy events happened, the writer________. A. had a wellpaid job B. worked hard for his American dream C. worked hard and liked to share D. felt hopeless about his American dream 2. What does the underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refer to? A. The house. B. The job. C. The company. D. The American dream. 3. What does the underlined sentence “I learned to...”in Paragraph 3 most probably mean? A. The writer learned to run a company. B. The writer learned to share with others. C. The writer learned to keep enough plates. D. The writer learned to save money for his company. 4. Why did the writer rent a big house? A. To make some money. B. To show off his wealth. C. To share with those people in need. D. To make friends with his neighbors. 5. The writer mainly tells us about________. A. his unhappy experiences B. the friendly people in the valley C. the change of his living conditions D. his new idea of the American dream |

| Homebuyers nationwide are watching housing prices going up, up, and up.“How high can they go？” is the question on everyone’s lips.“As long as interest rates stay around 5 percent, nothing might be able to prevent housing prices going up, ” said one house seller in Santa Monica, California. “It’s crazy, ” said Tim, who is looking for a house near the beach.“In 1993, I bought my first place, a twobedroom flat in Venice, for $70,000.My friends thought then that I was overpaying.Five years later, I had to move.I sold it for $230,000, which was a nice profit.Last year, while visiting friends here, I saw in the local paper that the exact same flat was for sale for $510,000！” It is a seller’s market.Homebuyers feel like they have to offer at least 10 percent more than the asking price.Donna, a new owner of a onebedroom flat on Venice Beach, said, “That’s what I did.I told the owner that whatever anyone offers you, I’ll give you $20,000 more under the table, so you don’t have to pay your house seller any of it.I was tired of negotiating with the house sellers.” Tim says he hopes he doesn’t get that desperate.“Whether you decide to buy or not, you still feel like you made the wrong decision.If you buy, you feel like you overpaid.If you don’t buy, you want to kick yourself for passing up a great opportunity.” Everyone says the bubble (气泡) has to burst sometime, but everyone hopes it will burst the day after they sell their house.Even government officials have no idea what the future will bring.“All we can say is that, clearly, these things go in regular cycles, ” said the state director of housing.“What goes up must come down.But, as we all know, housing prices always stay up a little higher than they go down (被接 受). So you can’t lose over the long run.Twenty years down the road, your house is always worth more than you paid for it.” 1. If Tim had sold his flat last year, he could have earned________. A. $510,000 B. $440,000 C. $280,000 D. $160,000 2. Donna paid another $20,000 to the owner secretly because________. A. she felt like offering 10% more B. secret money made low price C. the owner asked for the money D. she was bored with bargaining 3. We can infer from Tim’s words in Paragraph 4 that________. A. homebuyers feel hesitate facing rising house prices B. buying a house is always a great opportunity C. homebuyers never make the right decision D. both sellers and buyers become desperate 4. Which of the following is TRUE about the housing bubble? A. It is something everyone hates to see. B. Only experts know when it will burst. C. It is unavoidable in the regular circles. D. It usually stays for about twenty years |

| BELIEVE it or not, the color of the tie Barack Obama wore to the inauguration (就职典礼) is now a hotly debated topic.The level of public interest in Obama’s tie might seem strange but many people believe his choice will symbolize the type of government he plans to run, as the color of a politician’s tie is thought to convey ideas of power, trustworthiness and more. Polities of ties It may be the least practical item of male dress, but it is arguably the most expressive.In the UK and many other countries around the world, conservative (保守的) politicians may wear a blue tie and their liberal opponents a red one.In America, the colors go the other way round.The Republicans have in recent years become associated with the color red, and the Democrats with blue.But in spite of this, Bush wears blue ties more often than any other color. What they mean According to Sharon Haver, editor of focusonstyle.com, in America the feelings associated with colors overrule their political significance.“A guy who wants to be regarded as strong and in charge would wear red, ” Haver says.Unsurprisingly, the business tycoon Donald Trump is known for wearing red ties.But what about blue？According to Haver, “Blue is a softer color...Look at the sky.It’s peaceful and calm and trustworthy.” Selecting the right tie for the right occasion Perfect job interview tie Perhaps no other tiewearing occasion is as important as the job interview.Gilchrist, the fashion expert, advises playing it safe and choosing a conservative one.Best choices are solids, stripes or small patterns. An excellent color is burgundy (深红色) or another serious color.Avoid pink or yellow, which suggests that the wearer lacks gravity. Pattern ties, Gilchrist suggests, should be limited to a maximum of three colors.A striped tie is a safe choice as this is acceptable to everyone.Last, Gilchrist recommends saving the expensive “hip” tie for those applying for glamorous creative jobs. Datenight tie When picking out the right tie for taking a girl out on a date, spend more time considering color than pattern.According to studies, women are attracted to men wearing the color blue, because blue gives the image of a “stable, faithful, constant, always there” person.So what is the worst color to wear on a date？“Flattened caterpillar (毛虫) yellowgreen, ” according to Gilchrist, “it will repel both sexes equally.” 1. Why are people interested in the tie that Obama wore to the inauguration? A. Because they think the tie he wore will enable them to know about his personalities and policies. B. Because they want to advise him how to select an appropriate tie for such a big occasion. C. Because they think the tie will tell if he is trustworthy as they expected when he assumes office. D. Because they believe the tie is an essential part of dressing to a mature politician like Obama. 2. What can we infer about Bush, the former president, from the passage? A. He was probably liberal in his policies when he was in power. B. He was a Republican when he served as president. C. He wore only blue ties and had no ties of alternative colors. D. He wanted to make himself unique by the tie that he wore. 3. The example of “the business tycoon Donald Trump” is given to________. A. prove that color reflects people’s feelings to a certain degree B. show that Donald is so wealthy that he can afford expensive ties C. tell that Donald is physically strong and can handle everything D. explain that red is a popular color, especially with businessmen 4. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text? A. Ties can be ignored by politicians since they are the least practical item of male dress. B. Do choose ties carefully before dating, because it is the most important occasion. C. Why to avoid pink or yellow ties in job interviews is that they don’t match the atmosphere. D. The more colorful the tie is, the more likely you’ll get the job you want. |

| Compared to adults, children seem to be moving constantly.So it’s no surprise that most parents who are quizzed about their child’s physical activity level describe their children as fairly active.But a new study of nearly 2,000 British school children suggests that many parents overestimate the amount of physical activity their children are really getting. The researchers equipped 1,892 British school children, ages 9 and 10, with accelerometers that measure all physical activity during a given time period.The research, known as the Speedy study collected the exercise data from children at 92 schools in Norfolk, England, between April and July 2007. A child was regarded inactive if he or she recorded less than an hour a day of physical activity. Although the majority of children studied were getting enough physical activity, a_sizable_minority_of_ children_were_not.Overall,39 percent of girls and 18 percent of boys studied were getting less than an hour of physical activity each day. But if you asked the parents of the inactive children to describe their child’s activity level, the vast majority-80 percent-described their children as fairly or very physically active, according to the findings published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine.Interestingly, the children themselves had more awareness about their lack of physical activity.Overall,40 percent of children overestimated their physical activity. But it wasn’t the parents of overweight children who were most likely to guess wrong about physical activity levels.The parents who were most out of touch about their child’s physical fitness were more likely to have children who were slim.Parents of girls were also more likely to overestimate physical activity.The researchers noted that parents should be educated about the importance of physical activity for children even if the child is not overweight. “Parents of slim children appear to assume that their children are adequately active, ” the study authors reported.“Increasing awareness regarding health benefits of physical activity beyond weight control might help have a correct idea of physical activity levels and encourage behavior change.” 1. According to the Speedy study, what kind of children can be judged physically inactive? A. Slim children. B. Children with less than an hour a day of physical activity. C. Overweight children. D. Children out of touch with their parents for a long time. 2. What does the writer probably mean by saying “a sizable minority of children were not” in Paragraph 3? A. The amount of children’s physical activity is far from the writer’s satisfaction. B. Only a small number of children were not getting enough physical activity. C. A small number of children didn’t overestimate their physical activity. D. The minority of children were not studied at all. 3. The passage is intended to________. A. encourage parents to fairly judge their children’s physical activity levels B. persuade parents to keep an eye on their children’s weight C. urge children to wear accelerometers during exercise D. advise parents to keep in touch with their children |

| Have you ever thought about what determines the way we are when we grow up？Remember the TV program Seven Up？It started following the lives of a group of children in 1973.We first meet them as wideeyed sevenyearolds and catch up with them at sevenyear intervals：nervous 14yearolds, serious 21yearolds and then grownups. Some of the stories are inspiring, others sad, but what is interesting in almost all the cases is the way in which the children’s early hopes and dreams are shown in their future lives.For example, at seven, Tony is a lively child who says he wants to become a sportsman or a taxi driver.When he grows up, he goes on to do both.How about Niki？She says, “I would like to find out about the moon.” And she goes on to become a space scientist.As a child, softspoken Bruce says he wants to help “poor children” and ends up teaching in India. But if the lives of all the children had followed this pattern, the program would be far less interesting than it actually was.It was the children whose childhood did not prepare them for what was to come that made the program so interesting.Where did their ideas come from about what they wanted to do when they grew up？Are children influenced by what their parents do, by what they see on television or by what their teachers say？How great is the effect of a single important event？Many film directors, including Steven Spielberg, say that an early visit to the cinema was the turning point in their lives.Dr Margaret McAllister, who has done a lot of research in this area, thinks that the major factors are parents, friends and their wider society. 1. What does the text mainly discuss? A. New ways to make a TV program interesting. B. The importance of TV programs to children. C. Different ways to make childhood dreams come true. D. The influence of childhood experience on future lives. 2. What does the underlined word “influenced” mean in the last paragraph? A. Impressed. B. Improved. C. Affected. D. Attracted. 3. What are the examples in Paragraph 2 meant to show? A. Many people’s childhood hopes are related to their future jobs. B. There are many poor children in India who need help. C. Children have different dreams about their future. D. A lot of people are very sad in their childhood. 4. Spielberg’s story is meant to show that________. A. going to a movie at an early age helps a child learn about society B. a single childhood event may decide what one does as a grownup C. parents and friends can help a child grow up properly D. films have more influence on a child than teachers do |
| 任务型读写。 Dennis Hopper, who was described as “Easy Rider’s” biker Billy and “Blue Velvet’s”, died of cancer Saturday morning at his home in Venice, California.He was 74. Hopper, who was diagnosed with cancer last October, was surrounded by his children and wife when he died.The American film star made his last public appearance on March 26,2010, when his star was addressed on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame. Dennis Hopper was born in Dodge City, Kansas, on May 17,1936.He grew up in San Diego, California, and got an early reputation for stage work.Making his way to Hollywood while still in his teens, he quickly earned roles in several films and TV shows, including “Rebel Without a Cause” (1955), in which he met James Dean, who became a friend and lifelong model. Hopper maintained a somewhat not smooth career through the mid60s.But it was 1967s.“The Trip”, directed by “King of the B’s” Roger Corman, that made the actor popular with audience and two of his “Easy Rider” colleagues, actor Peter Fonda and “The Trip” writer Jack Nicholson. In early 1968, Hopper led the group through his own lowbudget film, a biker road movie about two riders who travel from Los Angeles to New Orleans.“Easy Rider” was finally released in the summer of 1969, and was very popular after 1967’s “Bonnie and Clyde” and “The Graduate”, the breakthrough that set free the baby boomer generation on Hollywood. The film, made on the fly by Hopper and costar Fonda for less than $500,000, became one of the most popular movies of its time. Among his recent roles were a villain (反面人物) in the TV series “24” and an officer in the shortlived TV show “ERing”. He was starring in the TV version of the Oscarwinning film “Crash” at his death, playing a record producer.He was named a chevalier (功勋人物) of France’s Order of Arts and Letters in 2008.
