举一反三
For years Miss Lu expected a plastic surgery to make her jaw fashionable narrow and her face smaller. She finally decided against it after hearing of the death of Wang Bei. "Wang Bei’s death rang the warning bell for me,"Miss Lu said in her blog." It was frightening and I gave up the plan. "
A common thread of online discussion is why someone considered beautiful was so dissatisfied with her looks. Some netizens said Wang was a victim of society’s impractical standard of beauty:double eyelids,and the pointed chin typical of Western actresses. Others said her death indicated the limits to which people would go to achieve fame and fortune.
Last year 15 billion yuan was spent on cosmetic surgery and the figure is expected to rise 20% annually. The International Society of Plastic Surgery ranks China first in Asia in terms of the number of cosmetic surgeries in 2009. Worldwide, China is third, after Brazil, while the United States is first.
Nowadays,people are living longer and better. But the effect of aging off their appearance affects their mood and confidence. Many older women want to look young and beautiful. Young people, on the other hand, see cosmetic surgery as the key to wealth and love. "They want to improve their appearance to find better opportunities at work and in marriage,"says a famous plastic surgeon. "We’re living in a highly competitive society. People regard appearance as a weapon in life battle. Those who are young and naturally good-looking tell me,‘I don’t care how much I spend. Just make me look more beautiful.’ "
Advice from a surgeon and psychologist:
1.Choose regular, qualified hospitals with a good reputation.
2.Try to find an expert surgeon who will not suggest several operations over time.
3.Don’t expect too much from changing your appearance. Safety should be the first.
4.Have a realistic understanding of the risks of the surgery (death,injury and failure)and make a balanced decision.

A.People will feel alarmed at cosmetic surgery. |
B.Young people will have no interest in beauty. |
C.Doctors will be afraid to perform operations. |
D.No one will dream of becoming a Super Girl. |
A.Miss Lu’s face is narrow and small |
B.Wang Bei is a victim of the Internet |
C.all Westerners have the pointed chin |
D.the US ranks first in cosmetic surgery |
A.People are living 1onger and better nowadays. |
B.People are living in a highly competitive society. |
C.Social competition leads females to seek beauty. |
D.Cosmetic surgery is the key to wealth and love. |
A.change your appearance sooner |
B.make a reasonable decision |
C.do several operations over time |
D.try some different hospitals |
But the reason may be more complex: hitchhiking happens where people don’t have cars and transport services are poor. Plenty of people still hitchhike in Poland and Romania. Perhaps the rising level of car ownership in the UK means the few people lift hitchhiking are usually considered strange. Why can’t they afford cars? Why can’t they take the coach or the train?
Three-quarters of the UK population have access to a car; many of the remainder will be quite old. The potential hitchhiking population is therefore small. Yet my trip proves it’s still possible to hitchhike. The people who picked me up were very interesting-lawyer, retired surgeon, tank commander, carpenter, man who live in an isolated farmhouse and a couple living up in the mountains. My conclusion is that only really interesting people are mad enough to pick up fat blokes in red, spotted scarves. Most just wanted to do someone a good turn; a few said they were so surprised to see a hitchhiker that they couldn’t help stopping.
The future of hitchhiking most likely lies with car-sharing organized over the Internet, via sites such as hitchhikers.org. But for now, you can still stick your thumb out (actually, I didn’t do much of that, preferring just to hold up my destination sign) and people-wonderful, caring, sharing, unafraid people-will stop.
In the UK, with its cheap coaches and reasonable rail service, I don’t think I’ll make a habit of it. But having enjoyed it so much, I’m ready now to do a big trip across Europe and beyond. In the 1970s a female friend of my wife’s hitchhiked to India. How wonderful it would be to have another go, though Afghanistan might be a challenge. I wish I’d got that tank commander’s mobile number.
小题1:The author tried to hitchhike but was rejected by single women drivers because .
A.they were not heading towards Manchester |
B.they thought most hitchhikers were dangerous |
C.hitchhiking had been handed and they didn’t want to break the law |
D.he was a strong man in strange clothes who seemed dangerous |
A.Movies have discouraged people from hitchhiking |
B.Car ownership levels are lower in Romania than in the UK. |
C.25% of UK people don’t have access to cars. |
D.Increased car ownership has reduced the need for hitchhiking. |
A.murderous hitchhikers | B.friendly and talkative hitchhikers |
C.typical hitchhikers | D.strange hitchhikers like the author |
A.visit websites and find people to share cars with |
B.stand by roads with their thumbs sticking out |
C.stick out signs with their destinations written on |
D.wait for some kind people to pick them up |
A.frequently hitchhikes in Britain |
B.plans to hitchhike across Europe |
C.thinks public transport is safer for travel |
D.is going to contact the tank commander |
Fran Tarkenton,former Minnesota Vikings quarterback,once called a play that required him to block onrushing tacklers.
FEL quarterbacks almost never block.They’re usually vastly outweighed by defenders,so blocking exposes them to the risk of severe injury.
But the team was behind,and a surprising play was needed.Tarkenton went into block,and the runner scored a touchdown.The Vikings won the game.
Watching the game films with the team the next day,Tarkenton expected a big pat on the back for what he’d done. It never came.
After the meeting,Tarkenton approached coach Bud Grant and asked,“You saw my block,didn’t you,Coach?How come you didn’t say anything about it?”
Grant replied,“Sure,I saw the block.It was great,but you’re always working hard out there,Fran.I figured I didn’t have to tell you.”
“Well,”Tarkenton replied,“if you ever want me to block again,you do!”
小题1:What does the author intend to tell us in the passage?
A.Praise can have people take risky actions. |
B.Encouragement can make people achieve greater progress. |
C.No recognition,no progress. |
D.People will be discouraged without praise. |
A.show the importance of encouragement |
B.show father’s deep love to the son |
C.show the boy was complete understanding of his father |
D.prove the boy was cleverer than the coach |
A.Quick,brave,exciting. | B.Brave,risky,successful. |
C.Brave,successful,kind. | D.Fast,clever,strong. |
A.Recognition. | B.Pride. | C.Cheers. | D.Reward. |

“Have a nice day. Next!” this version of the expression is spoken by a salesgirl at the supermarket who is rushing me and my groceries out of the door. The words come out in the same tone (腔调)with a fixed procedure. They are spoken at me, not to me. Obviously, the concern for my day and everyone else’s is the management’s attempt to increase business.
The expression is one of those behaviors that help people get along with each other. Sometimes it indicates the end of a meeting. As soon as you hear it, you know the meeting is at an end. Sometimes the expression saves us when we don’t know what to say. “oh, you just had a tooth out? I’m terribly sorry, but have a nice day.”
The expression can be pleasant. If a stranger says “Have a nice day!” to you, you may find it heart-warming because someone you don’t know has tried to be nice to you.
Although the use of the expression is an insincere, meaningless social custom at times, there is nothing wrong with the sentence except that it is a little uninteresting. The salesgirl, the waitress, the teacher, and all the countless others who speak it without thinking may not really care about my day. But in a strange and comfortable way, it’s nice to know they care enough to pretend they care when they really don’t care all that much. While the expression may not often be sincere, it is always spoken. The point is that people say it all the time when they like.

A.try to be polite to you | B.express respects to you |

First, family life is quite 36 in China. In the USA, many young people 37 home after they finish their education and start working. However, in China, it is 38 for people to live with their parents until they get married. 39 , many of my Chinese friends told me that their 40 lived with them and helped take care of them when they were children. It seems that Americans think independence is more important 41 the Chinese think family relationships are more important.
Bargaining is another 42 that I have tried to learn. In the USA, prices are 43 and you can’t ask for a lower price. However in some small Chinese stores and tourist places, you are 44 to bargain. My Chinese friends taught me to ask for 40 percent or 50 percent 45 the original price. If the salesperson doesn’t agree to my price, I should 46 to leave and he might let me come back and sell me the item. It is a skill that you have to 47 if you live in China.
Tipping hasn’t been easier to 48 . In the USA, many people in the service 49 want to get 50 money for serving customers. Tipping is not a part of Chinese culture. 51 I tried to tip a taxi driver. He looked a little 52 and refused to take the money.
In dinners, perhaps what surprises an American visitor most is that some of the Chinese hosts like to put food into the plates of their 53 . Actually, this is a 54 of true friendship and politeness. My Chinese friend told me if I didn’t want to eat it, I should just 55 the food in the plate.
