6、    A teacher honored her students by telling them how they each had made a difference to her and the class. She also presented each of them with a blue ribbon(綢帶), which read, “Who I Am Makes a Difference.”

    Afterwards the teacher decided to do a class project to see what recognition will do to people in general. She gave each student three more ribbons and instructed them to do the same to more people.

One of the boys went to a junior executive(經(jīng)理) in a nearby company and honored him for helping him with his career planning. Later that day the junior executive told his boss he deeply admired him for being a creative genius and asked if he would accept the gift of the blue ribbon. The surprised boss accepted the gift delightedly.

That night the boss came home to his 14-year-old son and told him about his day. “One of the junior executives gave me an extra ribbon and asked me to find somebody to honor,” he said. “I thought about you. My days are busy and when I come home I don’t pay much attention to you. Sometimes I scream at you for not getting good grades in school and for your bedroom being a mess, but somehow tonight, I just-wanted to sit here and well, just let you know that you do make a difference to me. You’re a great kid and I love you!”

The startled boy couldn’t help crying. His whole body shook. He looked up at his father and said through his tears, “I was planning on killing myself tomorrow, Dad, because I didn’t think you loved me. Now I don’t need to.”

4、    Psychologists tell us that there are four basic stages that human beings pass through when they enter and live in a new culture. This process begins with the “honeymoon stage”. This is the period of time when we first arrive in which everything about the new culture is strange arid exciting. We may be suffering from “jet lag” but we are thrilled to be in the new environment, seeing new sights, hearing new sounds and language, eating new kinds of food. This stage can last for quite a long time because we feel we are involved in some kind of great adventure.

    Unfortunately, the second stage can be more difficult. After we have settled down into our new life, we can become very tired and begin to miss our homeland and our family, friends, pets. All the little problems in life seem to be much bigger and more disturbing when you face them in a foreign culture. This period of cultural adjustment can be very difficult and lead to rejecting or pulling away from the new culture.

    The third stage is called the “adjustment stage”. This is when you begin to realize that things are not so bad in the host culture. Your sense of humour usually becomes stronger and you realize that you are becoming stronger by learning to take care of yourself in the new place. Things are still difficult, but you are now a survivor!

    The fourth stage can be called “at ease at last”. Now you feel quite comfortable in your new surroundings. You can cope with most problems that occur. You may still have problems with the language, but you know you are strong enough to deal with them.

 

46. This passage mainly talks about ________.

   A. 1st                 B. 2nd                         C. third                D. fourth

49. It can be concluded from the passage that ________.

   A. people feel better in their own culture

   B. it is not easy to adapt to a new culture

   C. culture shock doesn’t occur at the beginning

3、Recently, a professor of philosophy in the United States has written a book called Money and the Meaning of Life. He has discovered that how we deal with money in our day-to-day life has more meaning than we usually think. One of the exercises he asked his students to do is to keep a record of every penny they spend for a week. From the way they spend their money, they can see what they really value in life.

He says our relation with others often become clearly defined when money enters the picture. You might have wonderful friendship with somebody and you think that you are very good friends.

But you will know him only when you ask him to lend you some money. If he does, it brings something to the relationship that seems stronger than ever before. Or it can suddenly weaken the relationship if he doesn't. This person may say that he has a certain feeling, but if it is not carried out in the money world, there is something less real about it.

Since money is so important to us, we consider those who possess a lot of it to be very important. The author interviewed some millionaires in researching for his book.

Question: What is the most surprising thing you have discovered about being rich, because you are a self-made man?

Answer: The most surprising thing is how people give me so much respect. I am nothing. I don't know much. All I am is rich.

 People just have an idea of making more and more money, but what is it for? How much do I need for any given purposes in my life? In his book, the professor uncovered an important need in modern society: to bring back the idea that money is an instrument rather than the end. Money plays an important role in the material world, but expecting money to give happiness may be missing the meaning of life.

 

48. According to the first paragraph, people have not realized        .

A. how important money is in their day-to-day life

B. how one spends money shows what is important to him

C. that money is more important than any other life values

D. that their understanding of life is more important than money

49. The author seems to believe that asking your friend to lend you some money ___.

A. is a good way to test your friendship             

B. will do harm to your friendship

C. will strengthen your friendship 

D. is a good way to break off your friendship

50. What can we learn about the millionaire from his answer in the interview?

A. He does not feel that he is well educated.

B. He does not think that he is a very important person.

C. He does not think that being rich deserves so much attention.

D. He does not consider himself to be very successful.

51. What does the American professor of philosophy want to explain in his book?

A. Money is an end.                                 B. Money is a means.

C. Money is everything.                             D. Money is unimportant

52. Which of the following might the author disagree?

5、Forget Miami, Los Angeles and New York. The next big Latin music explosion is on its way in secondary markets across the United States, and the numbers are there to back it up. Among all genres(種類),Latin music was the only one registering growth in 2005. From tiny Vero Beach in northern Florida to Des Moines, Iowa, in the heart of the Midwest, from Charlotte, N. C. to Salt Lake City, Latin music sales are skyrocketing.

Wilson says there are two major reasons for the increase. One is simply the Hispanic(說西班牙語國家的) population's increase in specific areas, which encourages stores to carry Latin product for the first time. Second, and perhaps more important, is the fact that major companies―whether dealing in music or not―are addressing the Latin consumer at a corporate (公司的) level, creating Latin departments and hiring Latin ad agencies. One of Handleman's suburban Detroit stores, for example, has expanded its Latin section four times in the last two years. Cities like Milwaukee and Des Moines are now stocking Latin product.

Besides, it also results from economic development. It goes something like this: More often than not, a city or country with a seeming important Hispanic population will suddenly expand its construction or offer affordable housing to those working in larger, neighboring cities. This attracts lower-income workers, many of whom are Latin. Small shops and groceries begin to stock a small selection of music. When the Latin population numbers reach a critical mass, the local mass merchant, if there is one, begins stocking the product. Sooner or later, a local radio station follows; first AM, then FM. Sometimes it's a cable TV show or a small TV station.

Of course, there are other driving forces that should not be forgotten, for example, regional Mexican music.

 

57. The passage mainly tells readers _____________.

   A. that more and more Americans like Latin music

   B. what makes Latin music develop fast in American market

   C. why Latin music becomes Americans' favorite music

   D. that Latin music is bringing in more benefits for Americans

58. The underlined word "skyrocketing" in the first paragraph means________.

   A. changing very quickly                        B. disappearing slowly

   C. recovering slowly                              D. increasing very quickly

59. According to the third paragraph, which shows the right relations among the following things?

①economic development                ②more Latin workers

③shops' stock of Latin music         ④local radio station

⑤small TV station                         ⑥the development of Latin music

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

60. Suppose that passage doesn't finish, which of the following may be discussed next?

A. The variety of Latin music in America.

B. The economic development in Hispanic area.

C. The historic development of Mexican music.

D. The driving forces of regional Mexican music

2、When might you need to give blood for a personality test? The answer is that you need to do so when you ask for a job．

Some people believe that your blood group hides no secrets．It shows the “real you”．And the owners of certain blood groups might be particularly good or bad at a certain task．This is the very reason why you could be asked to offer your blood group before being given a job．

The new idea was carried out first in Japan and now it has been brought over to other parts of the world．One important business company in Japan is quite special about these needs: “For our office members, we must have 30 percent of those with group A and 15 percent with AB, 25 percent with B．”

Do you happen to know that if your own blood group is O, you can get things done and sell the goods well? People with blood group A are thinkers, while those with blood group B are highly creative．And if you have problems, ask the ABs to solve them．So if you visit the Japanese company, you would find the O types out selling goods and A types keeping order in the office．

 

41．This passage seems to lead you to believe that _______．

A．your blood group could affect your work

B．blood types can never change your life

C．the idea about blood groups has little scientific basis

D．one’s personality will never change through out one’s life

42．People belonging to blood group B might be good at _______．

A．sports and games                                      B．painting and writing

C．doing office work                                     D．smoothing away difficulties

43．From the passage, we know _______．

A．four kinds of blood groups were discovered in Japan

B．people of good blood groups might do their work very well

C．knowing your own blood group can help you get a good job

D．more and more countries have accepted the new idea about blood groups
