When we speak of a basic human need we mean something necessary to life, something we cannot do
without. Food is a basic human need. Without it we would starve to death. Whether in primitive (原始的)
countries or in more advanced societies, man"s food needs are the same. 2_____
But primitive people eat only the food which can be grown near their homes, whereas people in more
advanced societies eat food which is often grown many thousands of miles away from their homes. Primitive
people are satisfied with less kinds of food, therefore we can say people"s wants are different although their
needs are the same.
3_____ Clothing is necessary to regulate (调节) the heat of our bodies. In different climates and in different
seasons we need more or less clothes. We also dress differently for other reasons. 4_____
Shelter, the third of our needs, depends on climate, the skill of the builders, one"s social position, and the
material which can be used. 5_____ The three-bed-roomed house of the average family would not be grand
enough for a very rich family, but a modern house with many of the material comforts were denied to the
kings and queens in the past.
B. Human Needs
C. We always change our style of clothing for different occasions, such as work, sports, parties.
D. We all need food to live a healthy life.
E. We want to live comfortably.
F. The simple shelter of the primitive people would not do for us, and yet it satisfied their needs.
G. The same is true of the second of human needs.

behind. They become "kidults" (kid+adult). Being a kidult has become a lifestyle-choice among young people
across Asia. Some kidults collect toys they once played with. Hello Kitty, Garfield, and Snoopy have many
adult fans around the world. It is not unusual to see a 20-something woman with a big, Garfield-shaped
cushion on her sofa or a Hello Kitty mobile phone accessory.
Other kidults still enjoy children"s stories and fairy tales. For example, Bloomsbury even published the
Harry Potter novels with an adult cover. That way, no one else on the subway will know that an adult is
actually reading a children"s book!
"Kidults can be like vitamins to society. Adults who value their childhood and hold on to pure, child-like
emotion may be needed in such a rough and dry society," said Lee Sojung, professor of Foreign Studies at
Hankuk University (韩国外国语大学). He added that kidult culture may fill the generation gap between adults
and kids. It could give children and their parents books, movies, and cartoon shows to enjoy together. He
may be right.
Tim Greenhalgh, a professor, explained that some kidults just refuse to grow up. They value childhood
because life in a busy and stressful city frightens them. Kidults would like to forget their age and openly
show their fear of society and adulthood.
B. Kidults miss their childhood so much that they can"t give up their toys
C. Bloomsbury knows some kidults don"t want people to know that they are kidults
D. Some toys are so interesting that even adults like them very much
B. it is helpful to solve some social problems
C. it can make people loyal to one"s parents
D it can improve the relationship between parents and their kids
B. kidults have mental problems
C. being a kidult is nothing wrong
D. some people can never grow up

Dear Antonio,
My son is 15 and he has been begging for a summer job. Do you know of any place that hires children
of that age?

Hi, Antonio,
I am 13 years old and trying to earn money to take a trip with my chorus to Hawaii. I am willing to do
any work at any hour during the summer.

Hi, Antonio,
I am 19 years old, a college student and I am looking for a summer job. Does anyone know somewhere
that is hiring? I have been looking for two weeks now.

Dear Antonio,
My daughter is working in the file room at the law firm I work for and I am very happy that we were
able to get her on. My concern is that she wouldn"t have got the summer job if I had not "known" people.
What about kids whose parents do not know someone?
Posted by: Tracy
Hi, Antonio,
I found my summer job on my own and my parents are so proud of me because I did it on my own.
That is why the world needs teens who can take responsibility for themselves and grow into mature and
wise adults. Can"t wait for your next blog. I enjoy your writing. You have a great point of view.

"I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled." Today David
wears casual clothes-khaki pants and sports shirt-to the office. He hardly ever wears necktie. "I"m working
harder than ever," David says, "and I need to feel comfortable."
More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work in the United
States. The change from formal to casual office wear has been gradual. In the early 1990s, many companies
allowed their employees to wear casual clothes on Friday (but only on Friday). This became known as "dress-
down Friday" or "casual Friday." "What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for employees has
really become an everyday thing," said business consultant Maisly Jones.
Why have so many companies started allowing their employees to wear casual clothes? One reason is that
it"s easier for a company to attract new employees if it has a casual dress code. "A lot of young people don"t
want to dress up for work," says the owner of a software company, "so it"s hard to hire people if you have a
conservative dress code." Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are
wearing comfortable clothes. In a study conducted by Levi Strauss and Company, 85 percent of employers
said that they believe that casual dress improves employee morale (士气). Only 4 percent of employers said
that casual dress has a negative impact on productive. Supporters of casual office wear also argue that a casual
dress code helps them save money. "Suits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day," one person said.
"For the same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes."

D. All the employers in the US are for casual office wear.
B. making employees more attractive
C. improving employees" motivation
D. making employees happier
the person sitting next to you takes out a nail clipper (指甲刀) and begins cutting his or her nails.
Annoying? Many of us have to spend some time every day on public transportation (客运). 2_____ So,
to make the trip more pleasant, we suggest the following:
Let passengers get off the bus or subway car before you get on. 3_____ Stand away from the doors
when they are closing.
Don"t talk loudly on a bus or subway. Chatting loudly with your friends can be annoying (讨厌的) to
others. 4_____.
Don"t think your bags and suitcases deserve (应得) a seat of their own.
Use a tissue whenever you cough or sneeze (打喷嚏). An uncovered sneeze can spread germs, especially
in crowded places.
Don"t cut your nails or pick your nose on public transportation.
Don"t read over other people"s shoulder. 5_____. It can make people uncomfortable. They might think
you"re too stingy (小气的) even to buy a newspaper. Or they might think you"re judging their behavior.
B. Getting off and on in an orderly manner can save time for all.

around their mothers quietly, it is easy to tell that they are nervous. Mothers also know that they can calm the
child with a touch on the cheek or a gentle word.
It seems that we come into the world with a set of gestures already programmed into us. Everybody,
regardless of country, race or religion, can look surprised, smile or cry. It also seems that we can recognize
our mothers" voice even before we are born. Even a newborn baby will look in the direction of its mother"s
voice when she is not in sight. Feeding time also means a time when babies and mothers can get closer. The
baby can watch the mother"s face at the same time.
Babies are also excellent observers of facial (of the face) expressions and learn from mothers" reaction
whether something is to be feared or not. This is often why first babies are more timid (胆小的) and less
relaxed than their later brothers and sisters. The mother is obviously more worried with her first baby but by
the time the second arrives she will have gained confidence.
Babies never want to be left out of any activity. Even small babies will cry until they can see what is going
on around them. Babies learn to communicate quite early with gestures. They point to things and get rewarded
when those things are given to them. They laugh during a game and are rewarded when the game is continued.
They smile at strangers and are rewarded by being picked up and held in their arms. So learning the body
language of the children is as important and rewarding as studying that of another culture.
B. Get near to their mothers silently.
C. Close their eyes and shake their head.
D. Point to things they are afraid of.
B. habit
C. voice
D. Gestures
B. Babies understand what their mothers are thinking about
C. Babies will be more timid if their mothers are confident
D. Babies are easily influenced by their mothers
B. facial expressions
C. touching on the cheek
D. making noise
