In the past, the working-class tended to be paid less than middle-class people, such as teachers and doctors. As a result of this and also of the fact that workers’ jobs were generally much less secure, distinct differences in life-styles and attitudes came into existence. The typical working man would collect his wages on Friday evening and then give them to his wife, leaving a little for drinking or betting.
The type of what a middle-class man did with his money was perhaps nearer the truth. He was and still is likely to take a longer-term view. Not only did he regard buying a house to provide him and his family with security. Only in very few cases did workers have the opportunity (or the education and training) to make such long-term plans.
Nowadays, much has changed. In a large number of cases factory workers earn as much. Social security and laws have made it less necessary than before to worry about “tomorrow”. Working-class people seem slowly to be losing the feeling of inferiority(自卑感)they had in the past. In fact there has been a growing tendency in the past few years for the middle-classes to feel slightly ashamed of their position.
The changes in both life-styles and attitudes are probably most easily seen among younger people. They generally tend to share very similar tastes in music and clothes. They spend their money enjoying themselves, and save for holidays or longer-term plans when necessary. There seems to be much less difference than in precious generations. Nevertheless, we still have a wide gap between the well-paid and the low-paid. As long as this gap exists, there will always be a possibility that new problems will appear between different groups.

It was necessary to set ont early, so that the bathyscaphe would come to the surfacc in daylight, and so be easily found by the mother ship which would be waiting for it. The divers began preparations at dawn and soon afterwards, when all was ready, the steel ball disappeared under the surface of the water.
In time, the temperature dropped to freezing-point and the men trembled inside the ball. They kept in touch with the mother ship by telephone describing how they felt. Then, at a depth of 3 000 feet, the telephone stopped working and they were quite cut off from the outside world. At 30 000 feet, the men were surprised by a sudden, loud noise-------even the smallest hole in the ball would have meant instant death. Luckily, though, it was only one of the outer windows that had broken. Soon afterwards, the bathyscaphe touched the soft ocean floor, raising a big cloud of “dust” made up of different kinds of small, dead sea animals. Here, powerful lights lit up the dark water and the men were surprised to see fish swimming just above them quite untroubled by thc very large wate-pressure. But they did not dare to leave the lights on for long, as the heat from them made the water boil. Quite unexpectedly, the telephone began working again and the weak but clear voices of the officers were heard on thc mother ship. After a stay of thirty minutes the men began their journey up, arriving three hours later, cold and wet through, but none the worse for their experience.
小题1:The officers started their journey at dawn___.
| A．because they wanted to return to the mother ship in twenty four hours |
| B．because the sea then was calm |
| C．when the sun was not too strong |
| D．so that they could return before dark |
| A．They only found different dead sea animals. |
| B．They did find signs of life. |
| C．There was no signs of any life. |
| D．There was only dust. |
| A．much of the world hasn’t yet been explored |
| B．there are not any signs of life at the bottom of the sea |
| C．strong water-pressure has great effect on fish |
| D．powerful lights can not be turned on at the ocean floor without killing fish |
| A．They were cold and wet through, which was the worst thing of all. |
| B．They were even worse than cold and wet through at the bottom of the sea. |
| C．Considering what they had just experienced, being cold and wet through was not too bad. |
| D．For such an experience, being cold and wet through was not bad for them at all. |
On a popular teacher’s website, there is a classroom activity to help make children aware of the implications of the different generations of the same family living far from each other. It’s a story about Mrs. Eiderdown, an elderly lady whose grandchildren have moved to Australia with their parents. She lives alone and rarely sees her fami
ly .First of all, the children speculate about Mrs. Eiderdown’s life. What does she have for breakfast ? what does she do all day ?how does she feel about her life ?
One day, Mrs. Eiderdown decides that she wants a pet to keep her company and puts an advertisement in a local shop window. Then she waits at home to see if anyone will answer her advertisement .
A tall thin man rings her doorbell. he is holding a cardboard box. Mrs. Eiderdown chats with the man for ten minutes before she realizes that she hasn’t looked in-side the box to see what the pet is. She can hear a his-sing sound. The children guess what is in the box(a snake). Mrs. Eiderdown thanks the man but says she doesn’t think the snake is a good idea .
The next time the doorbell rings, there’s a lady on the doorstep, also carrying a cardboard box.In the bottom of the box, Mrs. Eiderdown sees something black and hairy with eight legs. Again ,the children say what they think it is (a spider). Mrs. Eiderdown thanks the lady for her kindness but says that a spider is not the sort of pet she has in mind.
At last, the littl
e girl next door brings her a dog .Mrs. Eiderdown’s life improves a lot because of the dog. more importantly, of course, the little girl, whose own granny lives a long way away, starts to visit Mrs.Eiderdown more often. This interactive classroom idea has led to a greater awareness among children about the possible loneliness of older people who live quite near them .小题1:what’s the main idea of the passage?
| A．children get to know about the trouble of the elderly |
| B．neighbors help select pets for Mrs. Eiderdown |
| C．society helps the lonely people in the UK |
| D．school send pets to the lonely elderly |
| A．they talk about how she feels about being old |
| B．they try to experience her loneliness |
| C．they try to imagine how she lives |
| D．they write about her life story |
| A．the little girl often visits her own granny |
| B．the people who offer pets are lady’s neighbors |
| C．the farther the elderly live ,the lonelier they feel |
| D．the little girl begins to care more about Mrs. Eiderdown |
In the first development, a portrait of Shakespeare, which is believed to be the only picture painted of him during his lifetime, was unveiled in London．
The artwork has been dated back to 1610, meaning it was painted six years before the writer"s death．
The painting had been owned by a family descended from Shakespeare"s literary patron （文学赞助人） tor hundreds of years without them ever knowing who the man in the picture was．
Alec Cobbe, who inherited the portrait, realized that the painting was a likeness of Shakespeare after visiting an exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery where he saw a portrait that had, until 70 years ago, been accepted as a life portrait of Shakespeare．
Mr Cobhe immediately realized he was looking at a copy of the painting that had been in his family for centuries．
The painting will now go on display in Shakespeare"s hometown Stratford-upon-Avon．
In a separate story, archaeologists in London believe they have unearthed the remains of Shakespeare"s first theatre．
The site was excavated（发掘） by a team from the Museum of London last summer, and is believed to have been built in 1576．
Experts think that Shakespeare himself acted at the theatre, which may have been where the play Romeo and Juliet was premiered （首次公演）．
It is believed that 25 years after construction, the building was pulled down and moved timber by timber to the South Bank of the Thames, where a reconstruction of the theatre now stands．
小题1:．What is the story mainly about?
| A．The remains of the first theatre． | B．Shakespeare"s portrait． |
| C．Early life of Shakespeare． | D．Great works of Shakespeare． |
| A．made public | B．found out | C．on sale | D．sold out |
| A．knew his painting was a copy of the portrait of Shakespeare |
| B．thought his painting was a little like Shakespeare |
| C．realized his painting was very valuable |
| D．was unknown who the man in the painting was |
| A．The site was the first theater Shakespeare built． |
| B．Romeo and Juliet was first put on in 1576． |
| C．The theatre was pulled down to make place for a new one． |
| D．The theatre rebuilt stands on the South Bank of the Thames． |
Begin a conversation and ask a simple question．Watch carefully for eye movement during the response．If the person looks up, he or she is thinking or forming pictures．This is also a sign of a visual thinker．Looking up and to the left shows recalling a memory, while looking up and to the right could show imaginative construction or lying．
If the person looks down, this could be a sign of obedience or even blame．Looking down and to the left can show a person talking to themselves．Looking down and to the right can show that they are feeling strong emotion．
Looking sideways can indicate distraction or checking out a potential threat, hut a sideways glance can also show anger．In addition, eyes that look side to side often show shiftiness and lying．
A glance usually indicates a desire for something．Glancing at a door could show a desire to leave the room, while a glance, at a person could indic
ate a desire to talk to them．A glance is also used when it is forbidden to look at something．A person who is lying to you may hold eye contact longer than normal．In addition, this person might smile with his mouth but not with his eyes．Smiling with the eyes is difficult to do if the emotion is not genuine．
Rapid blinking（眨）of the eyes can occur when a person is thinking, and this can also be another sign of lying．Again, a person who is aware of this sign might overcompensate and stare．
小题1:．The writer supported his argument in the first paragraph by __ __．
| A．using a quotation | B．defining the body language |
| C．telling a story of William Shakespeare | D．making a comment on eyes |
| A．If he looks up and to the left． |

| C．If he looks down and to the left． |
| D．If he looks down and to the right． |
| A．Looking side to side． | B．Blinking the eyes quickly． |
| C．Smiling with the eyes． | D．Maintaining a prolonged eyes contact． |
| A．introduce the different meanings of the body languages |
| B．teach us how to use eyes to express ourselves |
