times clean and tidy.
You could turn your back for a moment in my mother"s house, leave a half-written letter on the dining
room table, a magazine open on the chair, and turn around to find that my mother had "put it back where
it belonged," as she explained.
My wife, on one of her first visits to my mother"s house, placed a packet of biscuits on an end table and
went to the kitchen to fetch a drink. When she returned, she found the packet had been removed. Confused
(疑惑的), she set down her drink and went back to the kitchen for more biscuits only to return to find that
her drink had disappeared. Up to then she had guessed that everyone in my family held onto their drinks, so
as not to make water rings on the end table. Now she knows better.
These disappearances had a confusing effect on our family. We were all inclined to (有……的倾向)
forgetfulness, and it was common for one of us, upon returning from the bathroom, to find that every sign
of his work in progress had disappeared suddenly. "Do you remember what I was doing?" was a question
frequently asked, but rarely answered.
Now my sister has developed a second-hand love of clean windows, and my brother does the cleaning
in his house, perhaps to avoid having to be the one to lift his feet. I try not to think about it too much, but
I have at this later time started to dust the furniture once a week.
B. She became more and more forgetful.
C. She preferred to do everything by herself.
D. She wanted to keep her house in good order.
B. my mother had taken them away
C. she forgot where she had left them
D. someone in my family was holding them
B. loves to clean used windows
C. is fond of clean used windows
D. likes clean windows as my mother did
B. my family members had a poor memory
C. my mother helped us to form a good habit
D. ray wife was surprised when she visited my mother

every speaker says something that is not understood exactly as he has planned. Fortunately,such moments
are usually not obvious (明显的) to the listeners. Why? Because the listeners do not know what the speaker
plans to say. They hear only what the speaker does say. If you lose your place for a moment, wrongly change
the order of a couple of sentences, or forget to pause at a certain place, no one will be wiser. When such
moments occur, don"t worry about them. Just continue if nothing happened.
Even if you do make an obvious mistake during a speech, that doesn"t really matter. If you have ever
listened to Martin Luther Kings famous speech-"I have a Dream", you may notice that he stumbles (结巴)
over his words twice during the speech. Most likely, however, you don"t remember. Why? Because you were
fixing your attention on his message rather than on his way of speech-making.
People care a lot about making a mistake in a speech because they regard speech-making as a kind of
performance rather than as an act of communication (交流). They feel the listeners are like judges in an ice-
skating competition. But, in fact, the listeners are not looking for a perfect performance. They are looking for
a well-thought-out speech that expresses the speaker"s ideas clearly and directly. Sometimes a mistake or two
can actually increase a speaker"s attractiveness by making him more human.
As you work on your speech, don"t worry about being perfect. Once you free your mind of this, you will
find it much easier to give your speech freely.
B. notice your mistakes
C. do better than you
D. know what you are talking about
B. you don"t fully understand the speech
C. you don"t know what the speaker plans to say
D. you find the way of speech-making more important
B. one or two mistakes in a speech may not be had
C. the listeners should pay more attention to how a speech is made
D. the more mistakes a speaker makes, the more attractive he will be
B. how to Make a Perfect Speech
C. Don"t Expect a Perfect Speech
D. Don"t Expect Mistakes in a Speech
and I were out in our front yards, watching seven children of age 6 and under ride their bikes up and down.
"I wish I could take one of my children out alone," said Christie.
Then we worked out a plan: When Christie takes one of her children out, I"ll watch her other three. And
when she watches two of mine, I"ll take someone out.
The children were extremely quick to accept the idea of "Mommy and Me" time. Christie"s daughter,
McKenzie, went first. When she returned, the other children showered her with tons of questions. McKenzie
was smiling broadly. Christie looked refreshed and happy. "She"s like a different child when there"s no one
else around," Christie shared with me quickly. With her mother all to herself, McKenzie didn"t have to make
an effort to gain attention.
Just as Christie had noticed changes in McKenzie, I also discovered something different in each of my
children during our alone times. For example, I am always surprised when my daughter, who is seldom close
to me, holds my hand frequently. My stuttering (口吃的) son, Tom, doesn"t stutter once during our activities
since he doesn"t have to struggle for a chance to speak. And the other son, Sam, who"s always a follower
when around other children shines as a leader during our times together.
The "Mommy and Me" time allows us to be simply alone and away with each child-talking, sharing, and
laughing, which has been the biggest gain. Every child deserves (应得到) to be an only child at least once in
a while.
B. The advantage of spending time with one child at a time.
C. The happy life of two families.
D. The basic needs of children.
B. curious
C. regretful
D. friendly
B. Sam holds her hand more often.
C. The boys become better followers.
D. Tom has less difficulty in speaking.
B. it"s tiring to look after three children
C. every child needs parents" full attention
D. parents should watch others" children
that 2 us and make us who we are. It is the same with the challenges that come with 3 .
When we are faced with a challenge, we usually have two 4 . We can try to beat it off, or we can
decide that the thing 5 the challenge isn"t worth the 6 and call it quits. Although there are certainly
7 when calling it quits is the right thing to do, in most 8 all that is needed is 9 and communication.
When we are committed to something, it means that no matter how 10 or how uncomfortable something
is, we will always choose to 11 it and work it through instead of running away from it. Communication is
making a 12 for discussion and talking about how you feel as opposed to just saying what the other person
did wrong. 13 you can say to a friend, " I got my feelling hurt, " 14 "You hurt my feelings," you are going
to be able to solve the problem much faster.
In dealing with the many challenges that friendship will bring to you, try to see them for 15 they are:
small hurdles you need to jump or 16 on your way through life. Nothing is so big that it is 17 to get over,
and hurt only 18 to make us stronger. It is all part of growing up, it 19 to everyone, and some day you will
20 all of this and say, "Hard as it was, it made me who I am today. And that is a good thing."

| An American friend of mine who was high up in a big corporation had worked out a way of handling a flood of e-mails before most of us had even heard of the concept. If any information he was sent was vital enough, his lack of response could ensure the sender rang him up. If the sender wasn"t important enough to have his private number, the communication couldn"t be that important. My friend is now even more senior in the same company, so the strategy must work. Almost every week now, there seems to be a report suggesting that we are all being driven crazy by the bother of e-mail. If this is the case, it"s only because we haven"t developed an appropriate discrimination in dealing with it. ______. Firstly, you junk anything with an exclamation mark or a string of capital letters, or from any address you don"t recognize or feel confident about. Secondly, e-mails don"t all have to be answered. Because e-mailing is so easy, there"s a tendency for correspondence to carry on for ever, but it is permissible to stop an endless discussion or to accept a point of information sent by a colleague without acknowledging it. Thirdly, a reply e-mail doesn"t have to be the same length as the original. We all have e-mail pals who send long, chatty e-mails, which are nice to receive, but who then expect an equally long reply. The charm of e-mail can consist in the simple, incomplete sentence, totally regardless of the format of the letter sent by post. You are perfectly within the bounds of politeness in responding to a marathon e-mail with a brief reply. | |||
| 1. Which sentence in the passage it the closed in meaning to the following one? The possible existence of annoyance results from our inability to sort out e-mails. | |||
| ______________________________________________________________________________________ | |||
| 2. Fill in the blank in Paragraph 3 with a proper sentence. (within 10 words) | |||
| ______________________________________________________________________________________ | |||
| 3. What advice is given in the last paragraph? (within 10 words) | |||
| ______________________________________________________________________________________ | |||
| 4. For what purpose does the author mention his American friend in Paragraph 1? (within 10 words) | |||
| ______________________________________________________________________________________ | |||
| 5. Translate the underlined sentence in the last paragraph into Chinese. | |||

| Most people want to know how things are made. They honestly admit, however, that they hardly know a thing when it comes to understanding how a piece of music is made. Where a composer (作曲家) begins, how he manages to keep going-in fact, how and when he learns his trade-all are covered in complete darkness. The composer, in short, is a man of mystery (神秘). One of the first things the common man wants to know about is the part inspiration (灵感) plays in a composer"s work. He finds it difficult to believe that composers are not much interested in that question. Writing music is as natural for the composer as eating or sleeping for all. Music is something that the composer happens to have been born for. The composer, therefore, does not say to himself:"Do I feel inspired?" He says to himself:"Do I feel like working today?" And if he feels like working, he does. It is more or less like saying to himself:"Do I feel sleepy?" If you feel sleepy, you go to sleep. If you don"t feel sleepy, you stay up. If the composer doesn"t feel like working, he doesn"t work. It"s as simple as that. | |||
| 1. What would be the best title for the text? | |||
| A. Composer: a man of mystery B. Practice makes good music C. Relation between sleeping and music D. Music: product of nature | |||
| 2. The words "covered in complete darkness" underlined in Paragraph 1 most probably mean _____. | |||
| A. difficult to be made B. without any light C. black in color D. not known | |||
| 3. Most people seem to think that a composer _____. | |||
| A. finds it difficult to write music B. considers it important to have a good rest C. should like to talk about inspiration D. never asks himself very simple questions | |||
| 4. The author will most probably agree that composers _____. | |||
| A. are born with a gift for music B. are people full of mystery C. work late at night for their music D. know a lot about eating and sleeping |
