Many times in life, especially when we are   2  , we don’t take any notice to the limit（限度）of 3 that we have. It seems like so much time to get  4  we want finished. When you’re in   5  , the most frightening thing to think about would be “ Will I be still  6  ?” If you really think about it, it would seem like your life is full of danger every day.

Sundays in New York can be very pleasant. Since Saturday nights are traditionally party nights, Sunday mornings are traditionally mornings of rest, which means having a long sleep. We stay in bed until 9, 10 or even 11 o’clock is not unusual, then jump out of bed, pull on clothes, run to the nearest corner news agency, buy the New York Times or Daily News, return home, put some classical music or popular songs on the record player, climb right back into bed to read the paper.

If the weather is bad, you might immediately turn to the Entertainment part of the paper to see what movies are on. Sunday afternoons are a popular time for seeing a film, but movies are expensive in New York, so choosing takes time and care.  Read the movie reviews to discover what the critics （評論家） think. No one wants to make an expensive mistake.

But if the weather is good, you might go through the part which lists outdoor activities. Almost every Sunday there are “street fairs （集市 ）”. There will be food for sale made by local people or restaurants; hand-made things for sale; music offered by a local band; and perhaps dancing. If the fair is in Little Italy, you can expect （期待） to find tasty Italian food.

And if the day is really warm, a walk through Central Park can offer many sights, sounds and smells.  Groups of people go around the park, enjoy different activities and are often looking for others to join in. There will be pick-up baseball games; singing under the trees; dancing near a famous monument; boating on the lake.

If you are a student and live at home, you have probably spent your day in this way, putting off （推遲）your study until the sun goes down. If you are a student living away from home, it’s also likely that you’ve done the same because generally most New Yorkers save Sundays for playing. Call too early and you’ll wake us up; call too late and you’ll find us out.

1. The writer says that New Yorkers go to bed late on __________.

    A. Wednesday nights                      B. Friday nights

    C. Saturday nights                        D. Sunday nights

2. To choose a good movie, the writer suggests that _______.

    A. you find out the latest movie

B. you look up in the newspaper

C. you check which one gets good reviews

D. you ask those who have already seen it

3. Which of the following does NOT the street fair offer?

    A. Local and foreign food                   B. Sports and games

    C. Things made by hand                    D. Music and dancing

4. We can learn from the passage that _________.

    A. you can only find outdoor activities in the newspapers

B. a student living alone in New York prefers to study on Sundays

    C. most New Yorkers would spend Sundays with their families

    D. it’s not a good idea to call New Yorkers on Sundays

Has helping people become a thing of the past? Walking through the crowds of today’s busy cities, you might think so. It seems people are too busy or too afraid to lend a hand to someone they don’t know.  But at Radio Beijing today, two friends would like to share their experiences with the listeners.

Hazel Johansen

One Sunday morning, I was running late for work.  As I drove off, I noticed an elderly lady from the neighborhood.  She was pulling a large piece of wood out of the rain. I wanted to help, but I was in a hurry.

I hesitated （猶豫） for a moment. Then I stopped my car, got out and helped her move the wood. Months went by. Then one day, I was walking in the street and saw some workmen cleaning out an old store. There in the dark and dirty corner was a large Coca-Cola cooler. How fun! The workmen said I could have it, so I picked it up and started home. I didn’t get very far. It was much heavier than I thought.  How could I get this to my home? Then out of the blue, the elderly lady appeared — with a handcart! I had helped her, and just when I needed it, she was there and returned the favor （幫忙）.

Rachel Swats — The Irish Helper

Going to the hospital is no fun —— especially when you live in a foreign culture. I recently went to see a doctor in the US. When I got there, I discovered I had forgotten to bring enough money to pay for my treatment. I had my credit card in my pocket, and I thought I could use that. However, I was wrong! For some reason, my card didn’t work. And even the hospital’s ATM wouldn’t let me take money. Since I couldn’t pay, I couldn’t get the treatment I needed.

I was so sad that I began to cry.  Unluckily, when I started crying, I had trouble stopping. I was making quite a big noise!

Everybody else in line was getting impatient （不耐煩的）. Just at that very moment, a lovely Irish woman appeared and asked me what I needed. I told her my problem. She immediately handed me $1,000, along with her business card, so I could repay her later.

I was able to pay and get the treatment.  When I got back home, I emailed the Irish woman. We’ve been in touch ever since!

1. Which of the following could be the best title for Hazel’s story?

    A. A Favor Returned                       B. A Kind Elderly Lady

    C.  She Was There                        D. An Act of Kindness

2. What does "out of the blue" mean in the 4th paragraph?

    A. all of a sudden                          B. as a result

C. to some extent                          D. in a minute

3. What trouble did Rachel meet in the hospital?

    A. She could not stop crying loudly.

    B. She forgot to take any money with her.

    C. Her money was not enough for the treatment.

    D. People waiting in line were impatient with her.

4. Both of the story tellers are trying to tell that ________.

    A. learning to help others is very important

    B. giving help to a stranger is not an easy thing

    C. help might be closer than you think when you get into trouble

    D. someone will be there to help you out if you help other people

Are You Smart?

    All parents say their children are smart. Why do some of these intelligent children do better in school, while others fall behind?

In 1983, Dr. Howard Gardner introduced “theory of multiple intelligences” （多元智能理論） to help explain this. His theory says there are eight different kinds of intelligence. All of these intelligences are good to the society.  But only two of them help students do well in school.

1.______________

    These people are good at languages.  They have a large vocabulary in their native language.  They may also pick up foreign languages more easily than others. They enjoy telling jokes and writing stories.  They make good lawyers, writers and librarians.

2. ______________

People who are smart in this way do better in math and science.  They can also use logic （邏輯） to solve problems such as scientific studies. They like to learn how something works. These first two intelligences help students succeed in school.

3. ______________

These people are good at picturing things in mind. As children, these people liked to draw or play with blocks.  As students, they learn better if they’re taught through images, not words.  When they grow up, they make good artists and engineers.

4. ______________

Children who can’t sit still may fall into this kind of “ smart”. The children enjoy physical activities like sports. They learn fast when they’re shown how something is done rather than just told. These people make good sportsmen and actors.

5. ______________

These people enjoy making music.  People with this intelligence have a good sense of sound. They understand the relationship between music and feeling. People with jobs related to music may have this intelligence.

6. ______________

Children of this kind love to spend time outside in nature.  These children are good at recognizing different things of nature, such as plants or birds.  When they grow up, they make good farmers and gardeners.

7. ______________

Those who are smart in this way make friends easily and keep the friendship well. They are able to understand the feelings of others.  They work well in groups and become natural leaders. As grown-ups, they make good salespeople and managers.

8. ______________

These people know clearly about their own feelings and ideas.  They are self-confident and have strong opinions on different kinds of things. They often like to work by themselves.

Gardner’s theory has changed the way people think about intelligence. People can be smart in the ways beyond just "book smart. " Perhaps all those parents are right--everyone is smart, just in different ways. What kind of "smart" are you?

A. I can tell the kinds of flowers easily.

B. I can remember the beat of a song after I hear it.

C. I like to read a lot.

D. I prefer to do things by myself.

E. I’d rather play in a sport than watch it.

F. I am good at organizing things in mind.

G. I remember things best by seeing them.

H. I’d rather do something in a group than alone.

    Man has made many interesting inventions since the beginning of time. Some of these inventions like numbers, words and radios have certainly changed history.

    One of the most important inventions is the computer. It has changed all our lives.

    People built the first computer at Harvard University in 1944. It was as large as a room and quite difficult and slow to operate. But since the invention of the silicon chip （硅片）, computers have become smaller, easier to use, and faster to operate. Some computers are as small as TV sets. People can make computers smaller than books. And computers are getting smaller and smaller all the time.

    The computer can do a lot of work. It is very useful to us. Firstly, it can keep a lot of news and messages. Secondly, the computer can operate very fast -- thousands of times faster than a man, and it won’t be tired. Thirdly, people can build computers into other kinds of machines, like radios, cars and planes.

    Now, almost everyone uses some kinds of computers. This invention has brought great changes to all of our lives.
