word poetry to songs.
I sing when I feel good. When I sing my favorite songs, I feel better. Sometimes when I am listening
to music and to the song words, I feel that it was written for me. A good song always makes me feel
something. There are songs that I sing in my head between classes and songs that I want to sing when the
school bell rings by the end of the day. They help me get through the day.
They are like bright and warm colours in the middle of greys and shades. I like songs about love and
friendship. The extraordinary thing is, my feelings are more special when I sing my favorite songs in English.
I also like reading. I used to avoid poetry until an e-pal told me I should recite poems and not look up the
meaning of the words. Poetry uses many difficult words and idioms, but the best thing is to just forget about
them. In the beginning I felt quite strange. Now I always lock the door. Reading aloud gives you a strange
feeling, but when you have some practice and fall into the rhythm, the rhyme and the sounds of the words,
it is really a special experience.
I started with small poems, but now I think I most like long poems. I have different feelings with
different poems. When I have had a bad day at school, I read Keats and forget everything. when I am sad I
read Wordsworth by the light of candle. When the poem is finished, I close the book and my sadness is gone.
B. they are colorful
C. they are greedy
D. my feelings given by them are more special
B. a person
C. a piece of information
D. a friend online
B. poems are strange
C. poems are difficult to understand
D. I am special
B. We should first sing songs then read poems
C. Reading poems can bring people pleasure just like singing a song
D. We should first read short poems then long ones
B. songs and poems are the same
C. the writer fell in love with poems as soon as e-pal told him something.
D. now reading poems is part of the writer"s life.

go home?
No, it"s not a visit from their mothers, and not a threat to take away their cellphones or pocket money.
It"s high-frequency noise. The UK police recently agreed to use a device (装置) called the Sonic Teenager
Deterrent. It sends out a sound that makes teenagers become so impatient and angry that they have to cover
their ears tightly and walk away.
The sound is at extreme high-pitch that can be heard by those under 20. The body"s natural ability to detect
some wave bands (波段) decreases almost entirely after 20, so few adults can hear the sounds. The black-box
device, nicknamed the Mosquito because of its sound, can be fixed to the outside walls of shops, offices and
homes. It sounds to youngsters like a crazy insect or a badly played violin. But it causes no physical damage.
A number of police forces and councils have given permission to use the system and want to install it at
trouble spots.
Staffordshire Police Inspector Amanda Davies, who has given the device to shopkeepers in the Moorlands
area, said," It is controlled by the shopkeepers--if they can see through their window that there is a problem,
they turn the device on for a while until the group has run away."
B. drive away trouble-makers under 20
C. help mothers control their teenage children
D. help the police control shopkeepers
B. shopkeepers are troubled by noisy insects
C. high-frequency noise is beyond the listening ability of people over 20
D. the police invented a new device to deal with teenagers
B. to tell the reader a piece of news
C. to sell the device to shopkeepers
D. to inform the public as the spokesman of the police
B. The police.
C. Young people.
D. The producer.
family home for a while. Many parents will say no to this demand. But experts say it might be a good idea
to let your teens live with a friend or relative.
"It was the break I need at the time," said Richant Lerner. He is talking about the time he spent living
with grandmother when he was 15.
"It allowed me to be a different person than I was with my parents," Lerner said. He now heads the
Institute (学会)for Children, Youth and Families at Michigan State University. Experts say teens living away
from their families can test new ways of thinking and getting along with people. They may see new solutions
to problems.
This is different from running away, the experts stress (强调). Runaways are often feeing serious
problems.
Some teens who want some time away from family attend a structured summer program. Others live for
a while with a relative or with the family of a friend. If there is a conflict (冲突) at home, having a teen live
elsewhere can benefit other family members. It gives everyone space to develop better relationships.
Joseph Kett teaches history at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. He says living at home until the
late years has become the norm (准则) only in recent times. "In the 17 th century, children were often sent to
live in other people"s homes when they were about 10 or 11," he said.
B. let them live for a while away from their families
C. send for a doctor
D. keep them in the house
B. played
C. organized
D. drunk
B. teens never made friends with each other
C. teens never went to school
D. teens often left their parents
B. often worry parents and teachers
C. are very popular
D. are accepted by people
sport on TV. But the number who take part in (参加) sport is quite small. On the whole English people prefer
to be fat rather than thin.
The most popular sport in England is football. Football is played on Saturday afternoon in most towns and
the supporters (球迷) of a certain team will travel from one end of the country to the other to see their team
play. There are four divisions (级别) of the football league. Not surprisingly the best teams are in the first
division. But the best supporters are often in the fourth division. You have to be a good supporter to watch
the fourth division football!
Many other sports are also played in England, such as golf, in which you try to knock a ball into a hole;
basketball, in which you try to got a ball through a net (篮筐); tennis, in which you try to hit a ball so that your
opponent (对手) can not hit it. As you see, if the ball had not been invented, there would have been no sport.
Actually (其实), that is not quite true. Athletics (田径) isn"t played with a ball; nor horseracing (赛马).
Perhaps that is why they are not so popular as football!
B. Football
C. Golf
D. Tennis
B. the second
C. the third
D. the fourth
B. They like watching sport on TV.
C. They are too busy.
D. They prefer to be thin.
B. The sport games are played on Saturday afternoon.
C. They like the idea of sport.
D. They like the famous players.
Why read this book to find out how to win friends? Why not study the technique of the greatest winner
of friends the world has ever known? Who is he? You may meet him coming down the street. When you get
within ten feet of him, he will begin to wag its tail. If you stop and pat him, he"ll jump out of his skin to show
you how much he likes you. And you know this show of love. There is no secret motives (动机): he doesn"t
want to sell you any real estate(房产),and he doesn"t want to be your husband or wife.
Did you ever stop to think that a dog is the only animal that doesn"t have to work for a living? A hen has
to lay eggs; a cow has to give milk; and a canary has to sing. But a dog makes a living by giving you nothing
but love.
When I was five years old, my father bought a little yellow-haired young dog for fifty cents. He was the
light and joy of my childhood. Every afternoon around four thirty, he would sit in the front yard with his
beautiful eyes staring at the road, and as soon as he heard my voice or saw me through the bush, he was off
like a shot, racing breathlessly up the hill to greet me with leaps of joy and barks of cheer.
Tippy was my good companion (同伴) for five years. Then one night-I shall never forget it -he was killed
within ten feet of my head, killed by lightning. Tippy"s death was the terrible event of my childhood. You never
read a book on psychology (心理学), Tippy. You didn"t need to.
You know that one can make more friends in months by really interested in other people than one can in
two years by trying to get other people interested in him. Let me repeat that. You can make more friends in
two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people
interested in you.
B. Tippy
C. a pet dog
D. a psychology book
B. show how he liked his friend
C. tell the readers why they should read the book
D. show us how a pet dog should behave
B. do everything without secret motives
C. satisfy the needs of different people
D. show care and love for others
B. Serious
C. Sad
D. Disappointed
they want to buy clothes, VCRs, or television sets.
But there is an underclass-people with low incomes and no credit history -who visit their neighborhood
pawnshops (当铺) when they need cash or a loan.
About 20 percent of the US population has no bank account. More than half of this group don"t have credit
cards and cannot get bank loans.
"These people are borrowing an average of $50," said John P. Caskey of Swarthmore College in
Swarthmore, Pennsylvania."If you add up in terms of how much dollar value pawnshops provide, they don"t
look very important. If you add up how much of the population they serve or the number of loans they make,
they are important."
Because they make loans, pawnshops are a type of bank, often calling themselves"the bank of the little
people."
Caskey and Swarthmore student Brian Zidmund in 1989 looked at the importance of pawnshops in the US
economy-the first serious study of the subject since the 1930s.
Their conclusion: pawnshops are the consumer"s lender of last resort (最后贷款人).
Pawnshop customers typically cannot get credit at banks. They have poor credit records, low and unstable
incomes, or cannot maintain positive bank account balances.
Typically, pawnshop customers borrow relatively small amounts that traditional lenders are unwilling or
unable to provide on a secured basis.
"If you look at total consumer credit, the amounts provided by pawnshops remain small," Caskey said.
"They are lending mainly to low-income people. In terms of the population they serve, they"re really important."
In 1988, there were about 6,900 pawnshops in the United States - one for every two commercial banks.
They made about 35 million loans, providing 1 percent of the nation"s consumer credit.
B. Banks for the Poor
C. Pawnshops vs. Banks
D. Commercial Banks
A. They go to local banks for help.
B. They apply for credit cards.
C. They ask for a loan from large banks.
D. They apply for a loan in pawnshops.
B. Most people prefer pawnshops for their need of cash.
C. Pawnshops are an important part of the state economy.
D. Pawnshops are not important because they make up only 1 percent of the nation"s consumer credit.
B. they make big loans to a lot of people
C. they are serving the majority of the population
D. they make a large number of loans to the poor
