Down-to-earth means being honest, open, and easy to deal with. It is a pleasure to find someone who is down-to-earth. A person who is down-to-earth is easy to talk to. He or she accepts others as equals. A down-to-earth person may be an important member of society, of course, but they do not let their importance go to their heads, and they do not consider themselves to be better than others who are less important. Someone who is filled with self-importance and pride, often without cause, is said to have his nose in the air. There is no way a person with his nose in the air can be down-to-earth.

Americans use another expression that is similar in some way to down-to-earth. The expression is both feet on the ground. Someone with both feet on the ground is a person with a good understanding of reality. He has what is called common sense. He may have dreams but he does not allow them to block his knowledge of what is real. The opposite kind of person is one who has his head in the clouds. A man with his head in the clouds is a dreamer whose mind is not in the world. Sometimes such a dreamer can be brought back to reality; and sharp words from the teacher, for example, can usually get a daydreaming student to put both feet back on the ground.

The person who is down-to-earth usually has both feet on the ground. But the opposite is not always true. Someone with both feet on the ground may not be as open and easy to deal with as someone who is down-to-earth. When we have both our feet firmly on the ground, we are realistic and we act honestly and openly toward others, and our lives are like the ground below us, solid and strong.

1.If a person has his nose in the air, he _______.

A. is confident

B. is easy to deal with

C. is down to the earth

D. is always self-important and pride.   

2.What can a daydreamer probably be like?

A. A person full of dreams in life.

B. A person with his head in the clouds.

C. A person with both his feet on the ground

D. A person with a good understanding of reality.

3.The underlined sentence “But the opposite is not always true.” most probably means that ______.

A. the opposite direction is always wrong

B. the person who has his nose in the air is not true

C. a man with his head in the clouds is often not intelligent

D. a person who has both feet on the ground may not be down-to-earth

4.From the passage, we can infer the person who is _____ is the most popular kind of person.

A. down-to-earthB. standing on the ground

C. with his nose in the airD. with his head in the clouds

Nearly everyone agrees that money doesn’t buy as much as it used to, no matter when you want to spend it. This is certainly true of the paper money that passes so quickly through one’s hands. But what about coins that seem to do very little except stay in purses and pockets? Unlike notes, metal money becomes more valuable the longer it is held, especially if it is put away where it won’t get scratched or worn. Why is this? One reason is that coins, being more durable, fall more readily into a category for collectors. Naturally, the rarer gold pieces must become more valuable as the price of this metal goes up.

But, curiously, one of the rarest coins in the world is not made of gold, but of the relatively cheaper silver. In 1840, the United States mint (造幣廠) struck 19570 silver dollars. That is what its records show. Today only six of this original number remain and these are unlikely ever to reach the auction (拍賣) market. So what happened to some 19564 large silver coins, not the easiest sort of things to lose? One of the more romantic theories is that they were part of the payment to Napoleon for the American land then known as Louisiana. But they never reached France. Somewhere in the Gulf of Mexico, the ship transporting them was sunk, either by a storm or by pirates. The probable answer to the mystery is that they were melted down — since the silver value was greater than the actual value of the coin. What really happened to the rest will probably always remain a mystery. What is known is that whoever can come up with one will find himself instantly rich.

1.We can learn from the passage that _______.

A. money buys as much as it did before

B. money does not buy as much as it did before

C. paper money buys more than metal money

D. metal money buys more than paper money

2.Which of the following is true of a coin?

A. The longer it is held, the less valuable it becomes.

B. The more it wears out, the more valuable it becomes.

C. The less it gets scratched, the less it values.

D. The longer it lasts, the more it values.

3.According to this passage, one of the rarest coins in the world is made of _______.

A. silver B. gold

C. copper D. paper

4.Coins become more valuable because _______.

A. they stay in purses and pockets

B. the price of metal goes up

C. they fall more readily into a category for collectors due to their duration

D. Both B and C

5.What really happened to some 19564 large silver coins?

A. They were melted down.

B. They were sunk in the Gulf of Mexico.

C. It is still a mystery.

D. They were stolen by pirates.

When I asked my daughter which item she would keep: the phone, the car, the cooker, the computer, the TV, or her boyfriend, she said "the phone". Personally, I could do without the phone entirely, which makes me unusual. Because the telephone is changing our lives more than any other piece of technology.

Point 1 The telephone creates the need to communicate, in the same way that more roads create more traffic. My daughter comes home from school at 4:00 pm and then spends an hour on the phone talking to the very people she has been at school with all day. If the phone did not exist, would she have anything to talk about?

Point 2 The mobile phone means that we are never alone. !' The mobile saved my life, "says Crystal Johnstone. She had

an accident in her Volvo on the A45 between Otley and Skipton. Trapped inside, she managed to make the call that brought the ambulance(救護車) to her rescue.

Point 3 The mobile removes our secret. It allows marketing manager of Haba Deutsch, Carl Nicolaisen, to ring his sales staff all round the world at any time of day to ask where they are, where they are going, and how their last meeting went.

Point 4 The telephone separates us. Antonella Bramante in Rome says, "We worked in separate offices but I could see him through the window. It was easy to get his number. We were so near--but we didn't meet for the first two weeks!"

Point 5 The telephone allows us to reach out beyond our own lives. Today we can talk to several complete strangers simultaneously (同時地) on chat lines (at least my daughter does. I wouldn't know what to talk about). We can talk across the world. We can even talk to astronauts (if you know any) while they're space-walking. And, with the phone line hooked up to the computer, we can access(進入) the Internet, the biggest library on Earth.

1.How do you understand" Point 1—The telephone creates the need to communicate,... "?

A. People don't communicate without telephone.

B. People communicate because of the creating of the telephone.

C. People communicate more since telephone has been created.

D. People communicate more because of more traffic.

2.Which of the following best shows people's attitude towards mobile phones?

A. Mobile phones help people deal with the emergency.

B. Mobile phones bring convenience as well little secret to people.

C. Mobile phones are so important and should be encouraged.

D. Mobile phones are part of people's life.

3.Which points do you think support the idea that phones improve people's life?

a. Point 1. b. Point 2. c. Point 3. d. Point 4. e. Point 5.

A. c, d B. a, e C. a, c D. b, e

4.It is possible to talk to several complete strangers simultaneously through .

A. the TV screen B. a fax machine

C. the phone line hooked up to the computer D. a microphone

5.The best heading for the passage is .

A. The power of Phones B. Kinds of Phones

C. How to Use Phones D. Advantage of Phones
