It is natural that young people are often uncomfortable when they are with their parents. They say that their parents don’t understand them. They often think that their parents are out of touch with modern ways, that they are too serious and too strict with their children, and that they seldom give their children a free hand.
It is true that parents often find it difficult to win their children’s trust and they tend to forget how they themselves felt when young.
For example, young people like to act on the spot without much thinking. It is one of their ways to show that they have grown up and they can face any difficult situation. Old people worry more easily. Most of them plan things in advance, at least in the back of their minds, and do not like their plans to be upset by something unexpected.
When you want your parents to let you do something, you will have better success if you ask before you really start doing it.
Young people often make their parents angry with their choices in clothes, in entertainment and in music. But they do not mean to cause any trouble: it is just that they feel cut off from the older people’s world, into which they have not yet been accepted. That’s why young people want to make a new culture of their own, and if their parents don’t like music or entertainment or clothes or their way of speech, this will make the young people extremely happy.
Sometimes you are so proud of yourself that you do not want your parents to say “yes” to what you do. All you want is to be left alone and do what you like. It is natural enough , after being a child for so many years, when you were completely under your parents’ control.
If you prefer to control your life, you’d better win your parents over and try to get them to understand you. If your parents see that you have a high sense of responsibility, they will certainly give you the right to do what you want to do.
【小題1】_______ are to blame for the quarrels between parents and their children, according to this article.

A.ParentsB.Young people
C.Neither parents nor their childrenD.Both Parents and their children
【小題2】According to the passage, young people prefer to ______.
A.a(chǎn)sk for advice before they really start to do anything

A.do everything according to his own wish.
B.do everything the way his parents do.
C.do everything beyond hid parents’ control.
D.hold himself responsible for everything he does.

In the past ten years, America’s National Basketball Association (NBA) has grown increasingly dependent on the rest of the world to supply players.
When Michael Jordan and Larry Bird won gold in Barcelona in 1992, the Americans were praised for teaching the world how to play basketball. This season, however, 20 percent of NBA rosters(花名冊(cè)) will be filled by non-Americans. NBA commissioner David Stem happily embraces the trend. On a visit to Paris in October, Stern outlined his vision for the future, which is likely to see Europe hosting NBA games by 2010.
The NBA is now planning to take China by storm.
“Our experience in China has been that it is going to be explosive in its growth,” said Stern. The strategy(戰(zhàn)略,策略) in China is television. “We’ve made 14 deals in China with local and national networks on cable and satellite.” The success of Chinese centre Yao Ming has paved the way for the NBA marketing blitz in China. The NBA, which is broadcasted in more than 200 countries in 42 languages, will put that to the test in October 2004 when the Houston Rockets play two pre-season games against the Sacramento Kings in Beijing and Shanghai. The NBA knows that it needs a global market to compensate for tough times on home soil.
“It doesn’t matter where the players come from, all the NBA teams now know that they have to scout(尋找,覓得) internationally,” said Terry Lyons, the NBA’s vice-president of international public relations. “It has increased the level of competition here.” As Frenchman Tony Parker and Argentine Emanuel Ginobili showed in winning championship rings with the San Antonio Spurs last season, many people can earn the respect of their American peers. Others, such as the Houston Rockets’ Chinese centre Yao Ming — number one draft pick in 2002 — and the Detroit Pistons’ 18-year-old Serb Darko Milicic — number two overall in this year’s draft — are icons(偶像)in-waiting. It is the ultimate(最后的,根本的) revolution — the rest of the world teaching the US how to play basketball.
【小題1】According to the report,                 .

A.Michael Jordan is still playing a very important role in NBA
B.the part played by the foreign players in NBA will be great
C.Yao Ming is to play two pre-season games in NBA
D.European countries will host the 2004 NBA games
【小題2】The underlined phrase “take China by storm” has the meaning of      _______ ___.
A.NBA intends to make China its “marketing center”
B.NBA is planning to set up some training centers in China
C.there’ll be a big storm when NBA comes to China to play against the Sacramento Kings
D.the NBA’s live basket games will be broadcasted on all the TVs in China
【小題3】What seems to be the biggest change that is happening to NBA?
A. NBA is expecting more foreign players to join the league.
B. China’s rapid development in sports affects NBA.
C. Yao Ming has taken the place of Michael Jordan.
D. The NBA will stop teaching the world how to play basketball.
【小題4】When the writer talked of “home soil”, he was referring to        _        _.
A.farms in the States
B.native Americans
C.the NBA training center
D.the USA
【小題5】Which of the following can be used as the best title for the passage?

The other day I heard a few local musicians talking:
"I hate all the pianos in this town and I hate that rubbish they play on the radio .They cannot every understand rhythm(韻律)"
"Nobody wants to pay musicians anything. I'm sick of all the people who want you to play without paying you."
One younger musician said, "There are several clubs who want me to play for a few nights a  month and I'm trying to find other places to play .I'm also planning to join in several summer festivals this year."
I  really liked what the younger musician said so I made friends with him.
Attitudes are important. Whether they're positive or negative(消極) they're all rubbing      off on you,If you're around people who are always complaining or blaming others, it is possible that you will start doing the same as well. If you spend lots of time with people who don't support your dreams, it is time to take a look at the people you call " friends".
There is an easy exercise you can try. Make a list of the people who you often stay with, and simply stop , spending time with the negative ones on your list. Set a new standard for yourself and don't become friends with people who fall below that standard.
Of course, this exercise is entirely different from making friends only for the good of oneself. We really should try to help and spend time with those who are working towards a goal or dream.

I am a writer.I spend a great deal of my time thinking about the power of language—the way it can evoke(喚起)an emotion,a visual image,a complex idea,or a simple truth.Language_is_the_tool_of_my_trade.And I use them all—all the Englishes I grew up with.

Born into a Chinese family that had recently arrived in California,I've been giving more thought to the kind of English my mother speaks.Like others,I have described it to people as “broken” English.But I feel embarrassed to say that.It has always bothered me that I can think of no way to describe it other than“broken”,as if it were damaged and needed to be fixed,as if it lacked a certain wholeness.I've heard other terms used,“l(fā)imited English”, for example.But they seem just as bad,as if everything is limited,including people's perceptions(認(rèn)識(shí))of the limited English speaker.
I know this for a fact,because when I was growing up, my mother's “l(fā)imited” English limited my perception of her.I was ashamed of her English.I believed that her English reflected the quality of what she had to say.That is,because she expressed them imperfectly her thoughts were imperfect. And I had plenty of evidence to support me:the fact that people in department stores,at banks,and at restaurants did not take her seriously,did not give her good service,pretended not to understand her,or even acted as if they did not hear her.
I started writing fiction in 1985.And for reasons I won't get into today,I began to write stories using all the Englishes I grew up with:the English she used with me,which for lack of a better term might be described as“broken”:and what I imagine to be her translation of her Chinese,her internal(內(nèi)在的)language,and for that I sought to preserve the essence,but neither an English nor a Chinese structure.I wanted to catch what language ability tests can never show:her intention,her feelings,the rhythms of her speech and the nature of her thoughts.
【小題1】By saying“Language is the tool of my trade”,the author means that ________.

A.she uses English in foreign trade
B.she is fascinated by languages
C.she works as a translator
D.she is a writer by profession
【小題2】The author used to think of her mother's English as ________.
A.impolite B.a(chǎn)musing C.imperfect D.practical
【小題3】The author gradually realizes her mother's English is ________.
A.well structured B.in the old style
C.easy to translate D.rich in meaning
【小題4】What is the passage mainly about?
A.The change of the author's attitude to her mother's English.
B.The limitation of the author's perception of her mother.
C.The author's misunderstanding of “l(fā)imited” English.
D.The author's experiences of using broken English.

Habits,whether good or bad,are gradually formed when a person does a certain thing again.He is driven by some unseen force to do the same thing repeatedly, and then a habit is formed.Once a habit is formed,it is difficult,and sometimes impossible,to get rid of.It is therefore very important that we should pay great attention to the formation of habits.Children often form bad habits, some of which remain with them as long as they live older. Persons also form bad habits lasting as long as they live,and sometimes become ruined by them
There are other habits which,when formed in early life,are of great help.Many successful men say that much of their success has something to do with certain habits in early life,such as early rising,honesty and so on.
Among the habits which children should not form are laziness,lying,stealing and so on.These habits are all easily formed.Unfortunately older persons often form habits which could have been avoided.
We should keep away from all these bad habits,and try to form such habits as will be good for ourselves and others.

Because of the financial crisis in the US and UK, college students are beginning to struggle to find ways to pay their tuition fees and accommodations.

Recently, two major US student loan lenders—Citibank and JPMorgan Chase—announced they were leaving the student loan industry altogether. Because banks currently have a lack of credit(存款額), they are reluctant to offer students low­interest loans(貸款) that need a several­year wait for any return of interest.
In the US, many undergraduates top up their financial needs with a private loan, although the majority can get government­funded loans. In the 2005­2006 academic year, $17 billion in private student loans was used to finance higher education. The shortfall in private funding has yet to be covered and will hit many US students hard.
Across the Atlantic, UK students have been less troubled by the crisis. Most undergraduates in the UK cover their university expenses with government­funded loans and grants(助學(xué)金). Their biggest concern is a sudden steep increase in student rent.
Most young professionals now rent houses, since 80 percent of UK mortgage schemes(住房抵押貸款計(jì)劃) have disappeared—a direct result of the credit crisis. This has boosted the house rent market.
In large cities, UK students are paying almost 6.5 percent more in rent than the previous year. Figures from the UK organization Accommodation for Student show students in big cities such as London paying an average weekly rent of $103.
Yet, despite students' suffering, the number of this year’s university applications is expected to grow. During economic slumps, people regard further education as a way to survive tough job markets.
【小題1】According to the passage, banks are unwilling to offer students loans because ________.

A.the students are poor and sometimes they can’t pay off the debt
B.banks prefer lending the money to the young professionals
C.banks don’t have enough money left at the present time
D.they think college students are not studying hard
【小題2】The underlined phrase “top up” in Paragraph 3 probably means ________.
A.put up B.make upC.fill up D.pick up
【小題3】Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A.UK college students have to pay more if they want to rent houses.
B.More UK students want to further their study in college.
C.It is not so easy for US students to loan money now.
D.College students' tuition fees have risen greatly.
【小題4】It can be inferred that ________.
A.there are no private student loan lenders in the UK
B.loans for US college students will be increased next year
C.private funding falls a little because of higher­interest loans in the US
D.private loans play a very important role in financing US students’ education
【小題5】The passage mainly tells us ________.
A.college students in the US and UK are faced with their financial crisis
B.it is the duty of the governments to solve college students' financial crisis
C.private student loan is a good way for college students to overcome the difficulties
D.further education is a good way for college students to survive tough job markets

In most languages, a greeting is usually followed by “small talk”. Small talk means the little things we talk about at start of a conversation. In English-speaking countries people often make small talk about the weather: “Nice day, isn’t it?” But there is something special about small talk. It must be about something which both people have the same opinion about. The purpose of small talk is to let both people agree on something. This makes meeting people easier and more comfortable. People usually agree about the weather, so it is a safer topic for small talk. But people often disagree about religion or politics so these are not suitable topics for small talk in English. The topics for small talk also depend on where the conversation is taking place. At football matches, people make small talk about the game they are watching: “Great game, isn’t it?” At bus stops, people may comment about the transport system: “The bus service is terrible, isn’t it?”
Greetings and small talk are important parts of conversation in any language. The way people greet each other and the things they talk about, however, may be different from one language to another. This shows that there is much more to learn when we learn a language than just the vocabulary and the grammar of the language. We also have to learn the social behavior of the people who speak it.
【小題1】Small talk __________ .

A.is a kind of conversation with short words
B.is a greeting when people meet each other
C.is to let people disagree about something
D.is something we talk about to start with a conversation
【小題2】Why do people need small talk?
A.To choose a topic for conversation.
B.To agree about the weather.
C.To let meeting people become easier and more comfortable.
D.To learn a language.
【小題3】The passage suggests that when we learn a language ,__________.
A.we should grasp the importance of the language
B.we should know the culture of the language
C.we should only master the grammar and vocabulary
D.we should learn about the transport system of the country

Reseachers at the University of Kansas say that people can accurately juage 90 percent of a stranger's personality simply by looking at the person’s shoes.“Shoes convey useful information about their wearers,’’the authors wrote in the new study published in the Journal of Research in Personality.
Lead researcher Omri Gillath said the judgments were based on the style,cost,color and condition of someone’s shoes.In the study,63 University of Kansas researchers looked at pictures showing 208 different pairs of shoes worn by the study’s participants.Volunteers in the study were photographed in their most commonly worn shoes,and then filled out a personality questionnaire.
Some of the results were expected:People with higher incomes most commonly wore expensive shoes,and flashier shoes were typically worn by outgoing people.However,some of the more specific results are strange enough.For example,“practical and functional’’ shoes were generally worn by more “pleasant" people,while ankle boots were more linked with ‘‘a(chǎn)ggressive’’ personalities.The strangest of all may be that those who wore‘ ‘uncomfortable looking” shoes tend to have “calm” personalities.And if you have several pairs of new shoes or take extreme care of them,you may suffer from “attachment anxiety",spending lots of time worrying about what other people think of your appearance.There was even a political calculation in the mix with more liberal(主張變革的)types wearing “shabbier and less expensive” shoes.
The researchers noted that some people will choose shoe styles to mask their actual personalities,but researchers noted that volunteers were also likely to be unaware that their footwear choices were showing the deep side of their personalities.
【小題1】What does this text mainly tell us?

A.Shoes Call hide people’s real personalities.
B.Shoes convey false information about the wearer.
C.People’s personalities call be judged by their shoes.
D.People know little about their personalities.
【小題2】The participants were asked to      
A.provide pictures of their shoes
B.look at pictures of different shoes
C.design a personality questionnaire
D.hand in their commonly worn shoes
【小題3】Which of the results is beyond people’s expectation?
A.Wealthy people often wear expensive shoes.
B.Pleasant people like wearing uncomfortable shoes.
C.Aggressive people are likely to wear"ankle boots.
D.Fashion shoes are typically worn by outgoing people.
【小題4】People suffering from“attachment anxiety” tend to      
A.wear strange shoesB.worry about their appearance
C.have a calm characterD.become a political leader
【小題5】The author wrote the text in order to      
A.inform us of a new studyB.introduce a research method
C.teach how to choose shoesD.describe different personalitie
