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__.

bank account from their partner.While this financial unfaithfulness may appear as distrust in
a relationship,in truth it may just be a form of financial protection.With almost half of all
marriages ending in divorce,men and women are realizing they need to be financially savvy,
regardless of whether they are in a relationship.
The financial hardship on individuals after a divorce can be extremely difficult,even more
so when children are involved.The lack of permanency in relationships,job and family life
may be the cause of a growing trend to keep a secret bank account hidden from a partner,
in other words,an"escape fund".
Margaret"s story is far from unique.She is a representative of a growing number of
women in long-term relationships who are becoming protective of their own earnings.Every
month on pay day,she banks hundreds of dollars into a savings account she keeps from her
husband.She has been doing this throughout their six-year marriage and has built a nest egg
worth an incredible$100,000.Margaret says if her husband found about her secret savings
he"d be hurt and would take this as a sign that she wasn"t sure of the marriage."He"d think it
was my escape fund so that financially I could afford to get out of the relationship if it went
wrong.I know you should approach marriage as being forever and I hope ours is,but you
can never be sure."
Like many of her fellow secret savers,Margaret was hurt in a former relationship and has
since been very guarded about her own money.
Coming clean to your partner about being a secret saver may not be all that bad.Take
Colleen for example,who had been saving secretly for a few years before she confessed to
her partner."I decided to open a savings account and start building a nest egg of my own.I
wanted to prove to myself that I could put money in the bank and leave it there for a rainy
day."
B.days are getting harder and harder
C.women are money sensitive
D.financial conflicts often occur
B.secure
C.wise
D.simple
B.She was once divorced.
C.She is going to retire.
D.She has many children.
B.privacy within marriage should be respected
C.everyone can save a fortune with a happy marriage
D.financial disclosure is not necessarily bad
B.Love is what it"s worth
C.Banking honesty
D.Once bitten,twice shy
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.
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
B.following the popularity trend
C.walking a new way on their own
D.turning to their friends for help
B.the dazzling music world
C.the parental care and love
D.the popularity wave in the society
B.Instructive.
C.Influential.
D.Authoritative.
and follows his/her own path?
B.He/She loses good friends.
C.He/She faces all kinds of criticism.
D.He/She gains valuable popularity.

The American President Theodore Roosevelt almost succeeded in simplifying English spelling.In 1906,Andrew Carnegie started the Simplified Spelling Board.He was one of the richest men in the United States of America.The board"s plan was to make the spelling of words nearer to the way they sound.For
example,the word "though" would be spelt "tho" and "through" would become "thru".Other people on the board were Melvil Dewey,the head of the New York libraries,and Professor Brander Matthews of
Columbia University.They explained their idea to President Roosevelt,who thought that it was indeed
logical.He immediately asked the government printer to use simplified spelling in all government letters.
But people didn"t like the change,even if it made life easier.So the new simpler spelling was not popular.
More importantly,when the American politicians (政客) discussed the plan,they did not like it either.
Because Roosevelt did not want to have any problems with the politicians,he changed his mind and told the printer to go back to the old way of spelling.
Since then no one in any government has dared to simplify English spelling.However,people do simplify some words,mainly in advertisements.For example,we often see "tonite" instead of "tonight" and "thru"
instead of "through".
B. there are many mistakes in English words
C. lots of words are spelt in many different ways
D. sometimes the same sounds have different spellings
B. Melvil Dewey.
C. Theodore Roosevelt.
D. Brander Matthews.
B. Supportive.
C. Uncertain.
D. Doubtful.
B. changed the way the words sound
C. has been used widely for over a century
D. was first used in US government letters
B. proved quite successful
C. won wide support
D. influenced English greatly
But a recent survey has showed that such ambitions lack the required support and remain just that-dreams.
The Shanghai Municipal Employment Promotion Centre poll of 1,276 graduates in several universities and colleges in the city, released last Friday, showed 59.78 percent of respondents considered the possibility
of setting up a company or at least a small store. "But they just stop at the "thinking stage"," it stated.
Respondents put the top reasons for not going it alone down to a shortage of investment and a lack of
business opportunity. They also listed lack of business experience and social networks, the need for
advanced study and objections from family members as factors that stood in their way.
More than 90 percent of the interviewees said they would rather take up a job after graduating and then consider starting their own business two or three years down the road.
Guo Bin, a senior student in Shanghai International Studies University majoring in English, decided he
wanted to be his own boss last year. But he is looking for a job first. "If I fail to find a satisfying job, I
would like to establish a company in exhibition services," Guo said.
The Shanghai native has some relatives working in a local printing plant. With their help, Guo hopes to produce exhibition brochures at a relatively low price. He is also confident that his English language skills
can help him do well in the industry.
"Social networking is an important factor leading to business success," Guo said.
Guo said that the shortage of graduate jobs is the main reason driving more university students to set up a business right after their graduation.
Jiang said the university sets up a business guide team made of government officials and prof essionals.
They regularly give training courses to students who show an interest in having their own business. The
parents of university graduates are more willing to help their children start up alone. The survey showed "
Once you win the support of your family, you have won half the battle," Guo added.
B. Graduates can only dream of being boss
C. The ambitions of fresh graduates
D. The story of Guo Bin
B. The shortage of business experience.
C. Less skilled English language.
D. Their family members" objections.
after graduation?
B. Their social networking is not good.
C. There are not enough graduate jobs.
D. They want to achieve greater success.
B. Those who will graduate from university.
C. Those who want to be boss.
D. The officials who work in the government.
those warnings that the rich pattern of local life is being undermined(破坏), and many dialects and
traditions are becoming extinct. But stop and think for a moment about the many positive aspects that
globalization is bringing. Read on and you are sure to feel comforted, ready to face the global future.
Consider the Internet, that good example of our shrinking world. Leaving aside the worries about
political extremism, even the most narrowminded must admit that the net offers a lot of benefits, not just in
terms of education, the sector(部分)for which it was originally designed, but more importantly on a global
level, the spread of news and comment. It will be increasingly difficult for politicians to misinform the
public, as the oppressed(被压迫的)will not only find support and comfort, but also be able to organise themselves more effectively.
MTV is another global provider that is often criticized for imposing(强加)popular culture on the
unsuspecting millions around the world. Yet the viewers" judgment on MTV is undoubtedly positive; it is
regarded as necessary by most of the global teenage generation who watch it, a vital part of growing up.
And in the final analysis, what harm can a few songs and videos cause?
Is the world dominance(绝对优势)of brands like Nike and Cocacola so bad for us, when all is said
and done? Sportswear and soft drinks are harmless products when compared to the many other things that have been globally available for a longer period of time-heroin and cocaine, for example. In any case, just because Nike shoes and Coke cans are for sale, it doesn"t mean you have to buy them-even globalization
cannot take away people"s free will.
Critics of globalization can stop presenting their doom and gloom statements. Life goes on, and has
more to offer for many citizens of the world than it did for their parents" generation.
B. bring threat to the world peace
C. change their present difficult lifestyle
D. increase the size of people speaking dialects
B. to get support and comfort
C. to organise the oppressed more effectively
D. to promote education
B. Nike and Cocacola shouldn"t have caused so much worry.
C. All of the global teenage generation think that MTV is a necessary and important part for their growing up.
D. Sportswear and soft drinks cannot be compared with drug.
B. Globalization: don"t worry, be happy
C. Globalization: like it or change it
D. Globalization brings equality
