7、Do Americans have morals? That’s a good question. Moral values in America are like those in any   1  

One of the most   2   moral values for Americans is honesty. The well-known   3  about George Washington and the cherry tree teaches this value  4  .Little George cut down his father’s favorite cherry tree   5   trying out his new hatchet. When his father asked him about it, George said, “I cannot tell a lie. I did it with my hatchet.” Instead of  6  ,George received praise.

Sometimes American honesty-being open and direct-can   7  people. But Americans still believe that “honesty is the best policy.”

Another   8   Americans respect is perseverance(毅力).Remember Aesop’s fable about the turtle and the rabbit that had a   9  ?The rabbit thought he could  10   easily, so he took a nap. But the turtle finally won because he did not   11  .

Compassion(同情) may be the queen of American virtues. The story of “The Good Samaritan” from the Bible   12  a man who showed compassion. On his way to a   13  city, a Samaritan man found a poor traveler lying on the road. The kind Samaritan,   14  just passing by, stopped to help this person in need. Compassion can even turn into a positive  15  .In autumn 1992, people in Iowa sent truckloads of water to help Floridians   16  by a hurricane. The next summer, during the Midwest flooding, Florida   17  the favor.

In no way can this brief description   18  all the moral values honored by Americans. Courage, responsibility,   19  , gratitude and many others could be discussed. But no matter how long or how short the list, moral values are   20  .

6、Dogs that can retrieve (取出) cash from ATMs and empty washing machines help disabled people lead more independent lives, but can they also help change disruptive (愛(ài)搗亂的) teenagers’ behaviour?

A unique TV experiment, “Dog House”, follows five unruly youngsters as they are taught to become dog trainers. The idea is simple. Kids really like dogs. But can the skills involved in training them - patience, consistency, rewarding good behaviour – give these teenagers the discipline they need in their own lives?

The teens involved were put forward by local schools in West Sussex, who had run out of ideas of how to deal with them.

Liam was typical－14 years old, bad – tempered, aggressive, foul mouthed and about to be permanently excluded from school. Allie, Rob and Ellie, had similar problems – they couldn’t concentrate, they didn’t like being told what to do and they had serious anger problems. Katrina was different. She was so shy that she had developed agoraphobia(陌生環(huán)境恐怖), she suffered from depression and had taken herself out of mainstream education.

Gradually, working with the dogs began to have an impact on the kids. But, in order to fully appreciate the significance of what they were doing, they needed to meet the disabled people who benefited from having these dogs. The meetings had a profound impact on the teenagers. After meeting Eileen Hobson and her dog Sailor, Liam changed his ways and his unlikely friendship with severely disabled wheelchair user Eileen blossomed.

Two months into the course Liam began to connect with the dogs too - particularly a young yellow Labrador called Aero. The relationship flourished so much that the dog often knew instinctively what the teenager wanted him to do before he'd even asked. "He just knows," says Liam.

Liam’s school noticed a huge change in his whole outlook. His teacher Nick Brown said “More than anything I see a confident and happy young man. It’s been superb.”

5、Every Christmas the giant tree in Rockefeller Center sparkles with thousands of lights. From the beginning, when construction workers raised the first one during the depths of the Depression, it has been a symbol of hope. Diana Abad, like most Americans, loved that tree.

In 1999, however, Diana was writing her will. The 33-year-old woman from Staten Island, New York, was diagnosed with leukemia(白血病) and wanted to put her things in order. Doctors told her she had nine months to live.

Her slim chance for survival lay in finding a bone marrow(骨髓) donor. The most likely source for a match is always among relatives -- but her family was tested and there was none.

Then one day in February 2000, she got a call from the hospital saying that out of the four million people enrolled in the National Marrow Donor Program Registry, there was only one match. The potential donor was thinking about it. In March the donor agreed, and the transplant procedure was scheduled for March 27.

On that day, a doctor came in with the marrow in a bag, and Diana remembers him saying: “This is it. If it doesn’t graft within four to six hours, nothing will bring you back.” Diana asked a priest (牧師) to give her last rite(祈禱).

Almost immediately after the two-hour procedure, she felt stronger. Doctors told her it looked like the graft had taken.

Donors are anonymous, but when she was better, Diana sent a note through the Registry: “You don’t know the joy that I am experiencing,” she wrote. “I hope that one day we can meet and I can thank you in person.”

It was several months before the donor replied. At first he didn’t even give his name. He was 34-year-old David Mason, and he lived in Dedham, Massachusetts. But eventually the two exchanged phone numbers and began to talk.

Then unexpectedly and unannounced, he turned up at her door in Englishtown, New Jersey, on December 23. She says it was love at first sight. He says he didn’t feel it until they met the second time.

That meeting began a long-distance romance that culminated(修成正果) under the Christmas tree in Rockefeller Center in December 2004. That’s where David proposed(求婚) to Diana. She, of course, said yes.

4、    A proven method of effective textbook reading is the SQ3R method developed by Francis Robinson. The first step is to survey (the S step) the chapter by reading the title, introduction, section headings, summary and by studying any graphs, tables illustrations or charts. The purpose for this step is to get an overview of the chapter so that you will know before you read what it will be about. In the second step (the Q step), for each section you ask yourself questions such as “What do I already know about this topic?” and “What do I want to know?” In this step you also take the section heading and turn it into a question. This step gives you a purpose for reading the section. The third step (the first of the 3R’s) is to read to find the answer to your questions. Then at the end of each section, before going on to the next section, you recite (the second of the 3R’s) the answers to the questions that you formed in the question step. When you recite you should say the information you want to learn out loud in your own words. The fifth step is done after you have completed steps 2,3, and 4 for each section. You review (the last of the 3R's) the entire chapter. The review is done much as the survey was in the first step. As you review, hold a mental conversation with yourself as you recite the information you selected as important to learn. The mental conversation could take the form of asking and answering the questions formed from the headings or reading the summary, which lists the main ideas in the chapter, and trying to fill in the details for each main idea.

1．From the passage we can infer that the SQ3R method         .

       A．turns out to be practicable                    B．leaves much to be desired

       C．needs to be proven                               D．cannot be used by every reader

2．The SQ3R method consists of        steps.

       A．three                   B．four                    C．five                     D．seven

3．According to the passage, the first step helps the readers           .

       A．read the first several paragraphs            B．scan the whole chapter

       C．study the graphs                                  D．get the theme of the chapter

4．Which of the following is the fourth step?

       A．To question yourself.                           B．To read for information.

       C．To recite your answers.                        D．To draw a conclusion.

5．Which of the following statements is TRUE?

       A．In the last step, you should remember all the information.

       B．When you finish the last step, you will get both the main idea and the details.

       C．The mental conversation involves answering the questions asked by the author.

       D．While you are holding a mental conversation you select the important information.

3、This week, London will be full of celebrations to welcome the Year of the Rat. Every year, London’s Chinatown holds a great event to celebrate Chinese New Year, the largest event outside of Asia.

This year in the UK, there seems to be a huge amount of interest in Chinese culture. For the third year running, the “China in London” season is being held. This extended event will run from February to April, ending in the Olympic torch relay, when the Olympic flame will pass through London on its way to the start of the Beijing Games.

The “China in London” season will incorporate a huge number of events, ranging from art exhibitions to modern dance, film festivals to tea tastings, musical concerts to children’s half-term activities. In addition, another Chinese culture festival, “China Now” is launching at Chinese New Year.

This is a nationwide season of events leading up to the Beijing Olympics. As well as cultural events, this programme includes an education programme for schools to develop relationships with China, and a Football Exchange, where the UK Football Association will be coaching children in China and offering a lucky few the chance to visit Britain on a football tour.

The main Chinese New Year celebration will be held on Sunday 10th February, and is expected to attract around 300,000 visitors. It will showcase both traditional and contemporary Chinese arts, bringing together British-born and Chinese performers.

The most important thing of the day is the grand parade(游行) through the streets of London, led by a traditional dragon dance, followed by musicians, acrobats, artists and children. There will be a large stage and screen in Trafalgar Square featuring(展現(xiàn)) martial arts, music and dance.

It wouldn’t be Chinese New Year without fireworks and firecrackers, so Leicester Square will see displays on the hour all afternoon. Nearby theatres and arts centres will also be holding special New Year events, such as variety shows.
