research project. We have to discuss realism and dreams in television advertising, and so we are
looking for examples of things that are not true in television advertisements. The question we are asking
is, "Is the advertisement true to life, or does it offer an unreal picture of the product?"
Sylvester is keeping track of the lies, and he already has quite a long list. He says that all housewives
seem to live in lovely homes, dress beautifully, and love their household chores. They smile and boast
about floor cleaners and proudly display their dirty clothes, dirty table-tops, and dirty children. In
addition, he has never seen men doing housework. Sylvester thinks that this view of family life is filled
with things that are not true.
I am keeping track of the people who appear in the advertisements. I have found handsome men
chasing after beautiful women, and they are always recommending brand X tooth-paste or brand Y
cologne (科隆香水). I see teenagers and children with their friends, having wonderful time at parties
and at school, and they are usually enjoying large, happy family gatherings. I think that these
advertisements are also filled with things that aren"t true.
Sylvester and I have discovered that much of American life is pictured unrealistically on television.
Teenagers do not always have fun at parties, and very few people love doing chores. People do have
problems but few of these are ever shown in advertisements. Instead, we watch Cinderella discover a
miracle floor cleaner, finish the kitchen chores, and waltz off to the ball. Our heads are filled with these
dreams, and they also suggest that, for any problem, brand Z will provide the instant cure. Sylvester and
I will have very few facts and a lot of dreams to write about in our research reports.
B. They are trying to be like TV people.
C. They are interested in advertising.
D. They are doing a school project.
B. It is unrealistic.
C. It is true to life.
D. It is too boring.
B. is lacking in much imagination
C. seldom shows problems
D. gives great fun to children
B. American Life to Be Shown
C. Children Like to Sylvester Advertisements
D. Untrue Things in TV Advertising

announced, so he walked to the gate, showed his ticket, and got on the plane. After flying for twenty
minutes, the man began to worry. Oakland was north of Los Angeles, but the plane seemed to be heading west and when he looked out his window all he could see was ocean. "Is this plane going to Oakland?"
he asked the flight attendant (服务员). The flight attendant was shocked. "No," she said. "We"re going to Auckland -- Auckland, New Zealand."
English is not the only language with similar-sounding words. Other languages, too, have words that
can cause mistakes, especially for foreigners.
Auckland and Oakland. When similar-sounding words cause a mistake, probably the best thing to do
is just laugh and learn from it. Of course, sometimes it"s hard to laugh. The man who traveled to Auckland
instead of Oakland didn"t feel like laughing. But even that mistake turned out all right in the end. The airline (航空公司) paid for the man"s hotel room and meals in New Zealand and for his flight back to California. "Oh well," the man later said, "I always wanted to see New Zealand."

much more than just a great Workout. You get to be outside of the confines of a gym and be together
with nature. You breathe in the fresh, clean air while the city life you endured all week just fades away.
You are suddenly transported somewhere else. You are suddenly in a place where you can appreciate
the untouched, simplistic beauty of nature. The trees are green, the wild flowers are growing and the
woods are filled with activity. Once you experience it, you"re hooked.
Whether hiking in the deserts of Arizona or the mountains of Alberta, you suddenly realize you are
not alone and there is something much bigger at work. There is a realization that life is precious and you
think deeply about your life.
Another wonderful part of hiking is that you can participate at any level and it is, for the most part,
free. It is a great way to escape the rat race, even during the week. If you have any problems you need
to solve, hiking is really good for clearing your head and removing stress.
If hiking sounds intimidating to you, it is essentially walking on a whole new level. Experts have
spoken about the benefits of walking for years. Walking doesn"t stress your legs as much as running and
countless studies agree walking leads to weight loss and better health. It is good for your heart, reduces
illness and has even been shown to enhance your thinking. So why wouldn"t you want to do it?
B. Beautiful nature.
C. City life.
D. Precious things.
B. love it and want to do it often
C. wish you lived outside of the city
D. look for new hiking places, like Arizona
B. Thoughtful.
C. Lonely.
D. Free from stress.
B. Running is better h/r weight loss.
C. Running is good for a person"s heart.
D. Running is a cause for improved thinking.
Children start out as natural scientists, eager to look into the world around them. Helping
them enjoy science can be easy; there"s no need for a lot of scientific terms or expensive lab
equipment. You only have to share your children"s curiosity. Firstly, listen to their questions.
I once visited a classroom of seven-year-olds to talk about science as a job. The children
asked me "textbook questions" about schooling, salary and whether I liked my job. When
I finished answering, we sat facing one another in silence. Finally I said, "Now that we"re
finished with your lists, do you have questions of your own about science?"
After a long pause, a boy raised his hand, "Have you ever seen a grasshopper (蚱蜢)
eat? When I try eating leaves like that, I get a stomachache. Why?"
This began a set of questions that lasted nearly two hours.
Secondly, give them time to think. Studies over the past 30 years have shown that, after
asking a question, adults typically wait only one second or less for an answer, no time for a
child to think. When adults increase their "wait time" to three seconds or more, children give
more logical(符合逻辑) , complete and creative answers.
Thirdly, watch your language. Once you have a child involved in a science discussion,
don"t jump in with "That"s right" or "Very good". These words work well when it comes to
encouraging good behavior. But in talking about science, quick praise can signal that discussion
is over. Instead, keep things going by saying "That"s interesting" or "I"d never thought of it that
way before", or coming up with more questions or ideas.
Never push a child to "Think". It doesn"t make sense, children are always thinking, without
your telling them t9. What"s more, this can turn a conversation into a performance. The child
will try to find the answer you want, in as few words as possible, so that he will be a smaller
target for your disagreement.
Lastly, show; don"t tell. Real-life impressions of nature are far more impressive than any
lesson children can learn from a book or a television program. Let children look at their fingertips
through a magnifying glass (放大镜), and they" II understand why you want them to wash before
dinner. Rather than saying that water evaporates (蒸发) , set a pot of water to boil and let them
watch the water level drop.
thing for adults to do is ______.
B. to share the children"s curiosity
C. to explain difficult phrases about science
D. to supply the children with lab equipment
B. any problems
C. questions from textbooks
D. any number of questions
if adults ______.
B. wait for one or two seconds after a question

关节炎), or RA. RA is a disease that mostly affects the joints, but it can also affect internal organs. I
have had RA for almost21 years, and it definitely has changed my life, however, I try not to live my life
like I have a disease.
For me, attitude is everything. I always try to find humor in the situation or try to ignore it, but that
does not always work. These days I can hardly walk due to my ankles, yet I still try and do the things I
always did. I love riding my motorcycle, and I try to take long trips every year.
This year I got involved with some folks who make the biologic medicine I am on, to create the
Going the Extra Mile Tour to raise awareness about RA. The tour will take me across the country and
back on my motorcycle, making stops along the way to meet with local Arthritis Foundation (AF)
chapters and people who are affected by all forms of arthritis including RA.
I want to encourage people not to let RA stop them from living their lives the best they can. There
are so many new medicines coming out these days, and they can really help. People have to be their
own supporters and get informed -- knowledge is power. Talk to your doctor and focus on what you
can do--not what you can"t. Rest when your body is telling you to and push and keep going when you
can. Learn to listen to your body- that"s how I deal with having RA.
B. who suffers from a blood disease
C. who has retired from work for 21 years
D. who"d like to share her experience with RA
B. to compete for a medal in the tour
C. to show her love for motor riding
D. to share interest with some talks
B. how she helps other RA patients to be positive
C. why being positive can help RA patients
D. how RA patients manages to be positive
B. happy-go-lucky
C. strong - minded
D. well - informed
but if we do not keep that relationship alive, it can also be one of the most distraught things in life. There
may be no hard and fast rules in making good relationships, as each of us has different preferences and
points of view as to what is a great relationship. The following are some major key players in making
relationships work.
It is often said that building good relationships is all about communication. Good communication
indeed governs a good relationship -- knowing the right thing to say, when to say it, how to say it, and
accepting that some things that are better left unsaid. I personally think communication must be
broadened because relationships involve more decisions to make. From study to work, from money to
entertainment and even in things about yourself or about your friend that you do not know, communication
is essential in these aspects of the relationships.
Of course, being with someone is not saying that you totally agree with him all the time. You and your
friend come from different family backgrounds, raised in different environments so there may be
disagreements here and there. However, it is important in making relationships work to express
disagreements without pushing the relationship to end. Again, good communication and learning to
compromise (妥协) at times are essential.
As the relationship lasts longer, you may also discover things about you and your friend that you may
not have known before. Therefore, supporting each other on both your "hidden selves" can also make a
good relationship.
Love is an important aspect of building relationships and for me, I always believe that love needs
open communication, respect, support and understanding each other in making relationships work.
B. surprising
C. funny
D. upsetting
B. a white lie is necessary sometimes
C. compromises are essential at any time
D. your friends need to have the same backgrounds with you
a. communication b. support c. love d. hidden selves
B. a-c-d
C. b-c-d
D. a-b-c
B. Keys to Making Relationships Work
C. Different Opinions on Good Relationships
D. Forbidden Rules in Building Good Relationships
