| When a rather dirty, poorly dressed person kneels at your feet and puts out his hands to beg for a few coins, do you hurry on, not __1__ what to do, or do you feel sad and hurriedly __2__ some money? What should our attitude towards beggars be? There can be no question that the world is full of terribly sad stories. It must be terrible to have no idea where our next meal is going to come from. It seems __3__ not to give some money to beggars. __4__, most of the world's great religions order us to be openhearted and __5__what we have with those less lucky than ourselves. But has the world changed? Maybe what was morally right in the old days, when one knew exactly who in the village had suffered misfortune and needed help, is no longer the best idea. Quite a few people will not give to beggars. Let us look at their __6__. Firstly, some believe that many city beggars dress up on purpose to look pitiable and actually make a good __7__ from begging. Giving to beggars only encourages this sort of evil. __8__, there is the worry that the money you give will be spent on beer, wine or drugs. Thirdly, there is the opinion that there is no real excuse for begging. One might be poor, but that is no reason for losing one's sense of __9__ and selfdependence. Related to this is the opinion that the problem should be handled by the government rather than ordinary people. Some people think beggars should go to the local government department and __10__ help. It is hard to come to any final conclusion: there are various __11__and we must deal with them differently. A few coins can save a life in some situations, and even if the money is wasted, that does not take away the moral goodness of the __12__. | |||

| I heard many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling. I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own two feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them are clutching (紧握) at one another's hands for reassurance. They claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music. But somehow they all end up huddled (聚在一起) round listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in thusandsuch a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon (蚕茧) into a larger_cocoon. It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry has firmly carved out a teenage market. These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. And many of today's parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children. All this adds up to a great barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path. But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don't care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come-with the people who respect you for who you are. That is the only kind of popularity that really counts. |
| 1．In this passage, the author wants to tell ________. |
| A．teenagers to try to pursue their real selves B．readers to try to be popular with people around C．parents to try to control and guide their children D．people to try to understand and respect each other |
| 2．The author disapproves of rebelling teenagers ________. |
| A．growing away from their parents B．following the popularity trend C．walking a new way on their own D．turning to their friends for help |
| 3.The phrase "larger cocoon" at the end of the second paragraph refers to ________. |
| A．the distractive and variable society B．the dazzling music world C．the parental care and love D．the popularity wave in the society |
| 4．What does the author think of advertisements? |
| A．Convincing. B．Instructive. C．Influential. D．Authoritative. |
| 45．According to the author, what might happen when a teenager stands up against the popularity wave and follows his/her own path? |
| A．He/She falls behind the time. B．He/She loses good friends. C．He/She faces all kinds of criticism. D．He/She gains valuable popularity. |

| Beauty has always been regarded as something praiseworthy.Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and healthier,have better marriages and have more respectable occupations. Personal consultants give them better advice for finding jobs.Even judges are softer on attractive defendants(被告)．But in the executive circle,beauty can become a liability. While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder,it is harmful to a woman. Handsome male executives were thought as having more integrity than plainer men；effort and ability were thought to account for their success. Attractive female executives were considered to have less integrity than unattractive ones their success was attributed not to ability but to factors such as luck. All unattractive women executives were thought to have more integrity and to be more capable than the attractive female executives.Interestingly,though,the rise of the unattractive overnight successes was attributed more to personal relationships and less to ability than that of attractive overnight successes. Why are attractive women not thought to be able?An attractive woman is thought to be more feminine and an attractive man more masculine(有男子气概的)than the less attractive ones.Thus,an attractive woman has an advantage in traditionally female jobs,but an attractive woman in a traditionally masculine position appears to lack the"masculine"qualities required. This is true even in politics."When the only clue is how he or she looks,people treat men and women differently,"says Anne Bowman,who recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political candidates.She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs,one of men and one of women,in order of attractiveness.The students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices.They were asked to rank them again,in the order they would vote for them. The results showed that attractive males utterly defeated unattractive men,but the women who had been ranked most attractive invariably received the fewest votes. |
| 1．The underlined word "liability"(in Para.1)most probably means "________"． |
| A．misfortune B．instability C．disadvantage D．burden |
| 2．In traditionally female jobs,attractiveness________. |
| A．reinforces(加强)the feminine qualities required B．makes women look more honest and capable C．is of primary importance to women D．often enables women to succeed quickly |
| 3．Bowman's experiment reveals that when it comes to politics,attractiveness________. |
| A．turns out to be an obstacle to men B．affects men and women alike C．has as little effect on men as on women D．is more of an obstacle than a benefit to women |
| 4．It can be inferred from the passage that people's views on beauty are often________. |
| A．practical B．prejudiced C．oldfashioned D．pessimistic |
| 5．The author writes this passage to________. |
| A．demand equal rights for women B．emphasize the importance of appearance C．discuss the negative aspects of being attractive D．give advice to jobseekers who are attractive |

| It's easy to see how the sawfish got its name. These frightful creatures can grow to be more than 6 meters long. Their bodies are flat and winged, like underwater airplanes. And their noses are shaped like chainsaws. Sawfish are food hunters of the sea. When a sawfish is hungry, it waves its sharptoothed snout (口鼻部) through a group of fish. Then, it lifts its nose and uses its mouth to draw the injured victims. Hardy (适应力强的) population of sawfish thrived in warm waters along coastlines around the world for thousands of years. Over the past 200 years, however, human actions have severely endangered sawfish. Threats include fishing nets that trap the huge animals, often by mistake. Some people collect sawfish's snouts as prizes: One snout recently sold for nearly $1,600 online. In some Asian cultures, the toothy snouts are used in ceremonies to drive evil and disease away. And sawfish are also delicious. A growing demand in Asia for the fish's fins for a pricey soup has contributed to the fish's disappearance. Compared with other fish, sawfish give birth late in life and at slow rates, which makes it hard for them to recover from overfishing. New efforts now aim to restore sawfish population. Beginning next month, an international agreement will provide protection for all seven of the world's sawfish species. Scientists are hoping that it's not too late to save the sawfish. "Until 1998, this fish had never been formally studied in the United States," says Tonya Wiley of the Mote Marine Laboratory in Sarasota, FIA."We didn't know such basic things as where they live, what habitat they use, how often they breed, how many young they have- even what age sawfish are when they begin breeding." Through historical studies and field research, scientists have become aware of how much the fish's numbers have decreased. Today, there may be 90 percent fewer sawfish than there used to be. Wiley estimates that only 3,000 to 6,000 sawfish remain in US waters. Sawfish  |

| You've probably heard that you're not supposed to pour old medications down the toilet or drain(排水沟). That's because drugs can get into the water supply and cause problems for people as well as wildlife. But you can't just throw medicines or unused prescriptions in the trash either. You don't want medications-and your private health information-to fall into the wrong hands. Destroying old medications and then putting them in the trash is the way to go. Here's how: Dump the medicine out of its container into a plastic bag. You don't want to throw away medications in their containers because there is a risk that people looking for drugs, as well as kids or pets, might find them. You can mix different kinds of medicines in the same bag. Just be sure to use a plastic bag that can be tightly sealed. And then seal up the bag and throw it away in the regular trash. Destroy the medications. Add a small amount of water to the bag to dissolve(溶解) the medications. Then, add something that is not food, like dirt. That way, if the medication mix falls into the hands of children, they won't be able to eat it. After you've dealt with the medication following the instructions above, throw the medicine container in the trash. But before you do that, get rid of the label and destroy it. This helps you protect your medical information and keep it private. You don't want your name, address, and other personal information showing up next to the name of the drug you are taking. If you can't remove the label, take a marker and black out(用墨等涂掉) any personal information. A few prescription medications need to be dealt with immediately after they are no longer needed. These should still be washed away down the toilet. If your prescription is one of these, the label on the container should say so. |
