interviews. Often, though, these questions are not as strange as they first seem. And they are all designed to
give applicants (申请者) a Chance to think.
Arriving for her first Oxford interview, my sister Jen saw that there was only one chair in the waiting room.
On the chair was a large fork. Jen had heard about the strange things in Oxbridge interviews, and believed that
this was a test."What if they"re watching me?" she thought."If I move the fork, it will show initiative (主动性);
if I don"t move it, it will show that I can easily fit into new situations." In the end, she sat uncomfortably on the
edge of the chair!
Applicants must be prepared for the unexpected. Now it was Jen"s turn. She was handed a monkey skull (颅
骨) and asked to talk about it. At first, this seemed unfair-what could she say? But she soon calmed down,
started thinking, and found that there was plenty to talk about.
Oxbridge interviews are designed to find out how you think, not just what you think. And there are no
wrong answers. Jen learnt that, and she passed the interview. What advice does she give? "Don"t be nervous,
and be prepared for the unexpected!"
B. unfair
C. normal
D. easy
B. moved the fork
C. sat down on the fork
D. sat down on the chair
s B. make up new situations
C. show how one thinks
D. describe what one hears

start with an interesting sentence. Instead of saying "Joe is a teacher", say "Joe is one of the best English
teachers in the history of the world!"
2.______ Next, write why you think so. You might write, "Students need a kind teacher to guide them, so
they can always move in the right direction."
3.______ Find an example. This will paint a word picture in your readers" minds. "I never listened to English
much before I heard of Teacher Joe, but now I listen to his jokes, sayings and dictations. Listening has helped
me improve my speaking ability in English, and now I"m moving up to a better job." Sounds great, doesn"t it?
4.______ Your readers will often remember the last thing you write. So try to use different words to say the

more than anyone else I have ever met."
5.______ Joe is one of the best English teachers I have ever met. I think all students need a kind teacher to

speaking ability in English, and now I"m moving up to a better job. Joe has helped tens of thousands of students
learn English. He deserves the title of "Super Teacher" more than anyone else.
What will man be like in the future-in 5 000 or even 50 000 years from now? We can only make a guess,
of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today. For man is slowly changing all
the time.
Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on
average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is a relatively short period of time, so we may
believe that man will continue to grow taller.
Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20%
of the brain"s capacity. As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and
eventually we shall need larger ones. This is likely to bring about a physical change till the head, in particular
the forehead, will grow larger.
Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very Often they become weaker
and we have to wear glasses. But over a long period of time it is likely that man"s eyes will grow stronger.
On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow
weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in
modern life.
But what about hair? It will probably disappear from the body altogether in the course of time because it
does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald (秃头的; 秃顶
的).
Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at. This
may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes; future man will still have a lot in common with us.
He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.
B. how future man will look like
C. the fact that man"s organs will function differently in the future
D. the fact that man is growing uglier as time goes on
B. man has got stronger eyes than he ever had
C. man"s hair is getting thinner and thinner
D. man"s limbs (肢) are getting weaker because he tends to make less use of them
B. the other 80% of his brain will grow in proper time
C. he had rather narrow forehead a few hundred years ago
D. he will have to use his brain more and more as time goes on
B. have larger eyes
C. see better
D. have to wear better glasses
B. never stops changing
C. hopes for a change
D. will live a different life
that you never realized is that children have actually invented several different things. I am going to list 4 of
my favorites, but there are many more available.
Toy Truck
Can you believe that a 6-year-old boy invented it in 1963? His name was Robert Patch. He created a toy
truck because he wanted a truck of his own that he could take apart and put back together. He first drew
up a sketch of the truck on paper before he got help in getting a patent.
Television
We all know the first TV came out in the late 1920s. This is something that everyone has already known,
but did you know the TV was invented by a 14-year-old boy? It took him several years to get the idea in
motion, but he did it. A teenager came up with something every household owns today.
Popsicle (冰棒)
This is something that you may think a child probably invented, but you never knew for sure. Back in the
early 1900s an 11-year-old boy named Epperson had an idea to make his own version of pop. So he worked
outside on a cold day and he couldn"t get his mixture right. He left his glass filled with his idea and stirring
stick, and went to bed. When he came back outside it was frozen on the stick. The first Popsicle named the
Epsicle came into being.
Braille (布莱叶盲文)
This is something that I find truly amazing. Louis Braille, born on January 4, 1809, came up with this great
idea because he was blinded in an accident when he was three years old. When he was 15 years old he was in
blind school and created what we all know as Braille. This is something that has helped millions of blind people.
B. few inventions were created by children in history
C. children"s inventions were known to most people
D. most people usually underestimate children
B. It is big enough for a kid to get into.
C. It can be taken apart and put back together.
D. It is just like a real truck and runs fast.
B. He put a glass of mixture outside on purpose.
C. He put a stick in the glass to make a Popsicle.
D. He made use of cold weather to make a drink.
B. Toy Truck.
C. Television.
D. Braille.
problem in all parts of the world that experience cold weather. A few years ago, America"s Centers for Disease
Control (C. D. C. ) studied deaths linked to carbon monoxide poisoning. It found that the average number of
carbon monoxide deaths in the United States was greatest in January. The C. D. C. also found that carbon
monoxide kills more than four hundred Americans each year. And, it said more than twenty thousand people
are taken to hospital emergency rooms for treatment of health problems linked to the gas.
Carbon monoxide is called the silent killer because people do not know it is in the air. The gas has no color,
no taste and no smell. It does not cause burning eyes. And it does not cause people to cough. Yet, carbon
monoxide gas is very deadly. It steals the body"s ability to use oxygen.
Carbon monoxide decreases the ability of the blood to carry oxygen to body tissues. It does this by linking
with the blood. When the gas links with the blood, the blood is no longer 1able to carry oxygen to the tissues
that need it. Damage to the body can begin very quickly from large amounts of carbon monoxide.
How quickly this can happen depends on the length of time a person is breathing the gas and the amount of
the gas he or she breathes in.
Carbon monoxide poisoning has warning signs. But people have to be awake to recognize them. Small
amounts of the gas will cause a person"s head to hurt. He or she may begin to feel tired. The victim"s stomach
may feel sick. The room may appear to be turning around. The person may have trouble thinking clearly.
People develop severe head pain as the amount of the gas continues to enter their blood. They will begin to
feel very tired and sleepy. They may have terrible stomach pains.
Medical experts say carbon monoxide affects people differently. For example a small child will experience
health problems or die much sooner than an adult. The general health of the person or his or her age can also
be important.
B. An unhealthy adult may suffer more from the effects of CO than normal people.
C. People with heart disease do not suffer chest pains.
D. Carbon monoxide affects people all the same.
B. It may cause him/her to feel tired and sleepy.
C. It often causes him/her to suffer terrible stomachache.
D. It slows down people"s thinking.
B. people"s length
C. people"s reaction
D. whether people are sleeping or not
newborn child. Last spring one of the two, Australia, gave up the bad distinction by setting up paid family
leave starting in 2011. I wasn"t surprised when this didn"t make the news here in the United States-we"re
now the only wealthy country without such a policy.
The United States does have one explicit family policy, the Family and Medical Leave Act, passed in 1993.
It entitles workers to as much as 12 weeks" unpaid leave for care of a newborn or dealing with a family
medical problem. Despite the modesty of the benefit, the Chamber of Commerce and other business groups
fought it bitterly, describing it as "government-run personnel management" and a "dangerous precedent (先
例)". In fact, every step of the way, as (usually) Democratic leaders have tried to introduce work-family
balance measures into the law, business groups have been strongly opposed.
As Yale law professor Anne Alstott, argues, justifying parental support depends on defining (定义) the
family as a social good that, in some sense, society must pay for. Parents are burdened in many ways in
their lives: there is "no exit" when it comes to children. Society expects-and needs-parents to provide their
children with continuity of care. And society expects-and needs-parents to persist in their roles for 18 years,
or longer if needed.
While most parents do this out of love, there are public punishments for not providing care. What parents
do, in other words, is of deep concern to the state, for the obvious reason that caring for children is not only
morally urgent but important to the future of society. To classify parenting as a personal choice for which
there is no collective responsibility is not merely to ignore the social benefits of good parenting; really, it is to
steal those benefits because they accrue (累积) to the whole of society as today"s children become tomorrow"s
citizens. In fact, by some estimates, the value of parental investments in children, investments of time and
money, is equal to 20%～30% of GDP. If these investments bring huge social benefits-as they clearly do-the
benefits of providing more social support for the family should be that much clearer.
B. Setting up this policy made Australia less influential.
C. It has now become a hot topic in the United States.
D. No such policy is applied in the United States.
B. The opposition from business circles.
C. The lack of a precedent in American history.
D. The existing Family and Medical Leave Act.
B. Good parenting benefits society.
C. The cost of raising children has been growing.
D. The U. S. should keep up with other developed countries.
B. Parenting relies largely on social support.
C. Parenting produces huge moral benefits.
D. Parenting is basically a social
