| The Beginning of the Civil Rights Movement In 1955, bus seats for African Americans and whites were separated in parts of the U. S.. On December 1,1955, in the city of Montgomery, Alabama, a conflict, or disagreement, started when an African American woman named Rosa Parks refused to give her bus seat to a white man and go to the back of the bus. The police took 42yearold Parks to jail. The African American community was extremely angry. They had a meeting and decided to work together to protest discrimination. They agreed to boycott(抵制) the buses on the day that Parks went to court. The day was a success. Empty buses drove through the streets. The city lost money. The community decided to continue the boycott. They elected a man named Martin Luther King, Jr. to be the leader. The boycott continued. It was difficult for African Americans to get to work without buses, but they didn"t stop the boycott. The city continued to lose money. Finally, the U. S. Supreme Court decided that Montgomery"s bus laws were unfair and gave the African American community equal right. On December 21,1956, the bus boycott ended. The Montgomery Bus Boycott was the beginning of the Civil Rights Movement. The movement eventually led to the Civil Rights Act in 1964, a set of laws that made discrimination a crime. During the Montgomery Bus Boycott, people worked together to change the government. Today, people in the U. S. continue to work together for a change. Now hundreds of organizations and community groups work to protect the rights of U. S. citizens and residents. 1. How is the situation for the black in the U. S. in 1955? A.

What is the cause of the Civil Rights Movement? A. Bus seats for African Americans and white were separated in parts of the U. S. B. Rosa Parks was sent to jail for she refused to give her bus seat to a white man. C. The African American community had a meeting to protest discrimination. D. A man named Martin Luther King, Jr. was elected to be the leader. 3. How long did the boycott continue? A. Less than a year. B. Less than a month. C. More than a year. D. More than a month. 4.

| Adam Smith, writing in the 1770s, was the first person to see the importance of the division of labour and to explain part of its advantages. He gives us an example the process by which pins were made in England. "One man draws out the wire, another strengthens it, a third cuts it, a fourth points it, a fifth grinds(磨光滑) it at the top to prepare it to receive the head. To make the head requires two or three distinct operations. To put it on is a separate operation, to polish the pins is another. And the important business of making pins is, in this manner, divided into about eighteen distinct operations, which in some factories are all performed by different people, though in others the same man will sometimes perform two or three of them. " "Ten men, " Smith said, "in this way, turned out twelve pounds of pins a day or about 4,800 pins a piece. But if all of them had worked separately and independently without division of labour, they certainly could not turn out any pin, each of them would have made twenty pins in a day and perhaps not even one." There can be no doubt that division of labour is a way of organising work. Fewer people can make more pins. Adam Smith saw this but it"s a pity he also took it for granted that division of labour is in itself responsible for economic growth and development and that it accounts for the difference between expanding economies and those that stand still. But division of labour adds nothing new；it only enables people to produce more of what they already have. 1. According to the passage, Adam Smith was the first person to ________. A. take advantage of the division of labour B. understand the effects of the division of labour C. explain the causes of the division of labour D. introduce the division of labour into England 2. Adam Smith saw that the division of labour ________. A. enabled each worker to make pins more quickly and more cheaply B. increased the number of people employed in factories C. increased the possible output per worker D. improved the quality of pins produced 3. Adam Smith mentioned the number 4,800 in order to ________. A. show the advantages of the division of labour B. emphasize how powerful the individual worker was C. show the advantages of the old craft system D. emphasize the importance of increased production 4. According to the writer, Adam Smith"s mistake was in believing that division of labour ________. A. certainly led to economic development B. was a good way of organising work C. increased the production of existing goods D. was an important development in methods of production 5. Which of the following could serve as an appropriate title for the passage? A. The Theory of Division of Labour B. Adam Smith as the Discoverer of Division of Labour C. Adam Smith, the English Economist D. Division of Labour, a Good Way of Organizing Work |

| Most people agree that the direct, overconfident American personality is a virtue, but it sometimes surprises foreigners. In many cultures, respect for older people or those in positions of authority (权威) keeps others from expressing their true feelings. But in the U.S. children often argue with their parents, students may disagree with their teachers, and citizens may express opposition to the actions of the government. If the soup has a fly in it or the meat is too tough to chew, the diner can complain to the waiter, if the boss makes a mistake, an employee will politely point it out. Some straight talk about the American personality must include the admission that Americans have their faults. The extremely competitive nature of Americans is probably their worst fault. Of course, competition isn"t always bad. As a matter of fact, it promotes excellence by encouraging individuals and businesses to try to do their best. But the desire to get ahead of others sometimes causes people to do things that are unkind and even dishonest. Also, Americans admire what is practical, fast, efficient, and fresh. Sometimes they fail to understand and appreciate practices that have greater respect for more traditional, leisurely (不慌不忙的) ways of doing things. On the other hand, people from other cultures may dislike the practical, challenging American lifestyle. Despite culture differences, most foreigners give Americans credit for their virtues. Americans are generally viewed as friendly, adaptable, energetic, and kindhearted. Most newcomers to the U.S. like Americans, and the feeling is usually mutual (相互的). Perhaps the greatest American virtue is a deep interest in new ideas and new people. In a nation of immigrants, the foreigner does not remain an outsider for long. |

| A. Because people from other cultures fear competition. B. Because only American people own it. C. Because it will make people forget leisure. D. Because it may sometimes urge people to do something bad. |
| 3. It can be inferred from the passage that ______. |
| A. American people are more critical of everything than people from other cultures B. the author believes that American character has more faults than virtues C. the author admires American virtues as they are viewed as competitive and anti-traditional D. it is difficult for newcomers to get on with Americans |
