My grandfather was a teacher. He was the headmaster of a school for boys between thirteen and eighteen. I know that he was a kind and gentle man at heart, because when I was young, he gave me presents, and seated me on his knee, and told me stories. But I believe the boys at his school were afraid of him.
At school, when he walked into a room full of noisy boys, there was silence at once. When he looked at a boy with a certain look in his eyes, the boy went red in the face, and looked down at his shoes. If a boy brought him poor, careless work that was not the best the boy could do, my grandfather would pick up the boy’s book and throw it across the room, shouting, “Do it all again, and bring it back to me in the morning!” If the boy was late, or if he forgot to bring the work, he had to do it again, and again, and yet again. My grandfather never forgot.
He was a very different man at school from the man I saw day by day in his own home.

Have you ever heard anyone say “It’s raining cats and dogs”? It means “It’s raining hard!”
But sometimes cats and dogs do drop from the sky! Here’s how it happens.
Not so long ago, a country far away had many large rats. The people there said, “ We need cats!” So cats were sent to them by airplane. But the country had many mountains. It was hard for an airplane to land. So the cats came down by parachute(降落伞). Did the cats like the ride? They didn’t say they didn’t! And today they are still catching rats!
In another country far away, there is snow the year around. People sometimes got lost in it.
“We need big dogs!” the people said, “The dogs could find people lost in the snow. The dogs could help bring them home. Where can we get big dogs?”
A man across the sea had big dogs to sell. “I will send dogs to you,” he said. “ I have some very big ones. They can find people lost in the snow.”
He sent the dogs by airplane.
But the airplane did not land in the snow. The dogs came down by parachute ---- you guessed it !
Did the dogs like the ride? They didn’t say they didn’t! And today they are well and happy.
They find anyone who gets lost in the snow. Then they help him get home. Good dogs!

There are many stereotypes( 定型 ) about the character of people in various parts of the United States. In the Northeast and Midwest, people are said to be closed and private. In the South and West, however, they are often thought of as being more open and hospitable . Ask someone from St. Louis where the nearest sandwich shop is, and he or she will politely give you directions. A New Yorker might eye you at first and after deciding it is safe to talk to you, might give you a rather unexpected explanation. A person from Georgia might be very kind about directing you and even suggest some different places to eat. A Texan just might take you to the place and treat you to lunch.
American stereotypes are abundant. New Englanders are often thought of as being friendly and helpful. Southerners are known for their hospitality and warmth. People from the western part of the United States are often considered very outgoing. These differences in character can be traced to different factors such as climate, living conditions, and historical development.
When travelling from place to place, Americans themselves are often surprised at the differing degrees of friendliness in the United States.

If you see someone drowning, speed is very important. Once you get him out of the water, if he isn"t breathing. you have four minutes before his brain is completely destroyed. Support his neck, tilt(倾斜) his head back and press his chin upwards. This stops the tongue blocking the airway in the throat and is sometimes enough to get him breathing again. If that doesn"t work, start mouth-to-mouth breathing. Press his nostrils鼻孔) together with your fingers. Open your mouth and take a deep breath. Blow into his lungs until his chest rises. then remove your mouth and watch his chest fall. Repeat twelve times a minute. Keep doing until help arrives.
To bring a child to life. keep your lips around his mouth and nose and gently blow into his mouth. Give the first four breaths as quickly as possible to fill the blood with oxygen, If, in spite of your efforts, he stars turning a blue-grey colour, you can feel no pulse, then pressing is the last chance of saving his life.
With arms straight, rock forwards, pressing down on the lower half of the breastbone. Don"t be too hard or you may break a rib. Check how effective you are seeing if his colour improves or his pulse becomes independent to your chest pressing. If this happens, stop the pressing. Otherwise continue until rescue arrives.

Most Americans believe that someone isn’t grown-up until the age of 26 and they should complete their education, have a full-time job, have a family to support and be financially independent. They also believe that becoming a real grown-up is a process which begins at about the age of 20 and takes about five years, according to the report from the University of Chicago’s National Opinion Research Center.
The findings are based on a representative sample of 1,398 people over the age of 18 who were surveyed in person. The survey found that people expect the transitions (过度,转变)to grown-up status to be completed at the following ages: age 20.9 self-supporting; age 21.1 no longer living with parents; age 21.2 having a full-time job; age 22.3 education completed; age 24.5 being able to support a family financially; age 25.7 getting married; and age 26.2 having a child.
“There is a large degree of agreement across social groups on the relative importance of the seven transitions,” said Tom Smith, director of the survey. The only obvious pattern of differences is on views about supporting a family, having children and getting married. Older adults consider these more important than younger adults do. This probably shows in large part a change in values across generations away from traditional family values. The most valued step toward reaching adulthood, the survey found, is completing education, followed by full-time employment, supporting a family, financial independence, living independently, and marriage.
1 . According to the first paragraph, someone is a grown-up when he _______.
A. has found a full-time job
B. has finished his study in university
C. can make money and support himself after completing his education
D. can support a family and be financially independent after graduation
2 . A young man of 24 may be busy ________.
A. finding a job B. finding a girl friend
C. making money D. preparing for his wedding
3. From the passage, we learn that _________.
A. being grown-up is just a matter of age
B. being grown-up is a process which takes some time
C. all people think completing education means being grown-up
D. the survey found everyone had a different view about being grown-up
4. The best title for the passage should be “________”
A. It takes a long time to grown up.
B. Are we grown-up yet?
C. Getting married means being grown-up.
D. Completing education means being grown-up.

The moment I knew my mother had incurable lung cancer, I realized for the first time that time will one day run out for us all.

I arrived at work one day to be told we would be doing a radio series exploring “time poverty”. I’ve 40 been taken with the idea that we are time-poor. How can I - who have so many labor-saving machines and an only child – have 41 time than my mother who had six children and no 42 ?
I put this 43 a professor. He pointed out that it is because I try to keep my home much cleaner than my mother did. I admit I like to 44 to my friends. My husband says 45 that I remove all traces (痕迹) of human life 46 anyone arrives.
The professor said 47 has become the new religion. We expect work to provide us with a sense of identity and a means to secure our future. And because we 48 so much time in our working lives, we like to reward ourselves with material things. Frequently, we spend our money before it’s earned. 49 is an annoying worry, keeping us 50 to the work treadmill (跑步机).
The same professor suggested we 51 a Buddhist concept -- to enjoy each moment and activity for its own sake, 52 try to do lots of things at once. Since then I have been 53 the art of “living in the moment” whenever I get the chance. I have cleared my schedule of nonessential tasks, 54 house and garden plans, and turned down some extra work.
