    Soon Tommy’s parents, who had recently separated, would arrive for a conference on his failing schoolwork and bad behavior. Neither parent knew that I had called the other.
    Tommy, an only child, had always been happy, cooperative and an excellent student. How could I convince his father and mother that his recent failing grades represented a broken-hearted child’s reaction to his parents’ separation and pending (即将发生的) divorce?
    Tommy’s mother entered and took one of the chairs. Soon the father arrived. Good! At least they were concerned enough to be here in time. They ignored each other.
    As I gave a detailed account of Tommy’s behavior and schoolwork, I prayed for the right words to bring these two together to help them see what they were doing to their son. But somehow the words wouldn’t come. Perhaps if they saw one of his dirty, carelessly done papers?
    I found a sheet in the back of his desk. Writing covered both sides: not the assignment, but a single sentence scribbled (潦草地写) over and over.
    Silently I gave it to Tommy’s mother. She read it and then handed it to her husband. Then his face softened.
    At last he folded the paper carefully, placed it in his pocket, and reached for his wife’s hand. She wiped the tears from her eyes and smiled up at him. He helped her with her coat and they left together.
    In his own way God had given me the words to reunite that family. He had guided me to the sheet of yellow copy paper covered with the pain out pouring of a small boy’s troubled heart.
    The words are “Dear Mom…Dear Daddy… I love you…”
    小题1:The author called Tommy’s parents in order to ________.
    A．solve the couple’s problem
    B．scold them for their divorce
    C．help them realize their influence on Tommy
    D．blame Tommy for his failing grades
    小题2:This passage is most probably written by _________.
    A．a teacherB．a journalistC．a lawyerD．a doctor
    小题3:How did Tommy’s parents feel after seeing the words?
    A．Satisfied.B．Troubled.C．DepressedD．Moved
    小题4: We can learn from the passage that _______.
    A．the author knew Tommy often wrote to his parents
    B．the author said a lot to make Tommy’s parents reunite
    C．Tommy hated his parents divorcing
    D．Tommy was greatly influenced by his parents
    小题5: What would be the best title for this passage?
    A．A separate familyB．Tommy’s essay
    C．Never divorceD．A good teacher

    BUILDING up a close bond (关系) with friends is important in all cultures. But different cultures have different ways of socializing.
    The Chinese love going to restaurants. Family, friends and colleagues all go out to eat as a way of relaxing. So Chinese restaurants are much louder and noisier places compared with those in the Western world.
    Although British people do socialize by going out for dinner, most people meet in pubs. They go there in the evening and sometimes during the day. Most people order wine or beer.
    Going for a drink with colleagues after work is a particularly important British tradition. A recent survey of office workers found three-quarters of people regard the after-work drink as the key to building positive relationships with colleagues.
    But for the French, the preferred place to socialize is in cafés. They are a central part of daily life in France and its culture. People will go to cafes at all times during the day.
    In the morning, people may go there to buy a newspaper and a cup of coffee. At lunch they may go there for something to eat. Then when it's evening they may return to enjoy a glass of wine.
    While the meeting place is different from culture to culture, "Essentially (本质上) they serve the same purpose, which is that humans need a place to come together to meet," said Aidan Saunders, a professor of social history at the University College London. "We are sociable animals."
    People from different parts of the world have different values, and sometimes these values are quite against each other. However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural environment will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.
    小题1:What is the passage mainly about?      
    A．Different cultures and different people.

    A．The Chinese love to dine out.
    B．The Chinese always talk loudly in restaurants.
    C．Making friends is an important thing in all countries
    D．French people spend all their time in cafes.
    小题3:What does Aidan Saunders mean by "We are sociable animals."?   
    A．Human beings need society to survive in.
    B．Human beings need to communicate with each other.
    C．Human beings are the same as the other animals.
    D．Human beings are also animals belonging to the society.

    For a while, my neighborhood was taken over by an army of joggers．(慢跑者). They were there all the time—early morning, noon, and evening. There were little old ladies in gray sweats, young couples in Adidas shoes, middle-aged men with red faces. “Come on!” My friend Alex encouraged me to join him as he jogged by my house every evening. “You'll feel great.”
    Well, I had nothing against feeling great and if Alex could jog every day, anyone could. So I took up jogging seriously and gave it a good two months of my life, and not a day more. Based on my experience, jogging is the most overvalued form of exercise around, and judging from the number of the people who left our neighborhood jogging army. I'm not alone in my opinion.
    First of all, jogging is very hard on the body. Your legs and feet a real pounding (沉重的脚步) running down a road for two or three miles. I developed foot, leg, and back problems. Then I read about a nationally famous jogger who died of a heart attack while jogging, and I had something else to worry about. Jogging doesn't kill hundreds of people, but if you have any physical weaknesses, jogging will surely bring them out, as they did with me.
    Secondly, I got no enjoyment out of jogging. Putting one foot in front of the other for forty-five minutes isn't my idea of fun. Jogging is also a lonely pastime. Some joggers say, “I love being out there with just my thoughts.” Well, my thoughts began to bore me, and most of them were on how much my legs hurt.
    And how could I enjoy something that brought me pain? And that wasn't just the first week: it was practically every day for two months. I never got past the pain level, and pain isn't fun. What a cruel way to do it! So many other exercises, including walking, lead to almost the same results painlessly, so why jog?
    I don't jog any more, and I don't think I ever will. I'm walking two miles three times a week at a fast pace, and that feels good. I bicycle to work when the weather is good. I'm getting exercise, and I'm enjoying it at the same time. I could never say the same for jogging, and I've found a lot of better ways to stay in shape.
    小题1:From the first paragraph, we learn that in the writer's neighborhood ________.
    A．jogging became very popular
    B．many people were encouraged to jog
    C．Alex organized an army of joggers
    D．jogging provided a chance to get together
    小题2: The underlined word “them”(Paragraph 3) most probably refers to ________.
    A．heart attacksB．Back problems
    C．hundreds of peopleD．physical weaknesses
    小题3: From the author's experience, we can conclude that ________.
    A．jogging can help people keep fit
    B．many physical problems result from jogging
    C．not everyone enjoys jogging
    D．jogging makes people feel great

    It is winter in many parts of the world. For some areas, that means snow. Maybe even lots of snow. If you don’t have to drive in it or remove it, snow can be very beautiful. When snow covers everything around you, the world looks like a “winter wonderland”. That is the name of a very popular song about winter. Richard Smith and Felix Bernard wrote the song back in 1934. There are hundreds of recordings of this happy song.
    But winter is not always such a beautiful and happy time. It’s cold outside. You try hard to keep warm. The days are darker and shorter. The sun rarely shines. The leaves on the trees are brown. It isn’t surprising that some people are sad in winter. And some people dream about being somewhere else where it’s warm and pretty—like the state of California. The Mamas and the Papas recorded this famous song “California Dreaming”.
    During the 1960s, many other famous rock groups released songs about winter. Here is a poetic song by Simon and Garfunkel called “A Hazy Shade of Winter”. They sing about life and hope and possibilities.
    In 1968, the group Blood, Sweat and Tears recorded this gentle, sad song about winter. They sing about a lost love and forgotten memories in “Sometimes in Winter”.
    In the early 1990s, Tori Amos wrote and recorded the beautiful song called “Winter”. She enjoyed singing about winter when she was a child.
    Finally, on a happier note comes this song written and recorded by Fountains of Wayne in 2003. They sing about a snowstorm in a New England town. Nothing unusual there. But instead of being sad or tense about the snow, they write a song about it.
    小题1: The underlined sentence “For some areas, that means snow.” probably means 
    _____ .
    A．In some areas, when it’s winter, it must snow
    B．In some areas, it often snows in winter
    C．In some areas, it’s important to snow
    D．In some areas, people like snow in winter
    小题2: According to the second paragraph, winter is _____ .
    A．beautiful and happyB．happy and warm
    C．lovely and hopefulD．cold and sad
    小题3:Which of the songs can bring us hope of life?
    A．Winter Wonderland.B．California Dreaming.
    C．A Hazy Shade of Winter.D．Sometimes in Winter.
    小题4:What does the passage mainly talk about?
    A．Winter in different areas.B．Different ideas about winter.
    C．Songs about winter.D．Winter is cold but happy.

    Recently in the hope of earning both money and social experience, I became a door-trw door salesman.
    I once read a saying. “If somebody wants something of yours, you will be treated as warmly as spring, but if they don’t you may be treated as coldly as winter.” You may consider this an exaggeration (夸张), but if you are a salesman, it is clearly correct.
    You would never have found it to be so true if you hadn’t been a salesman. You needn’t stand doubtful looks and unfriendly comments; you needn’t listen to something completely wrong and nod to say that it was quite right, you needn’t worry about being refused time after time; you needn’t always keep patience and a smile; you needn’t repeat the same sentences over and over again; you needn’t talk to somebody you dislike ....
    I did this work for a month, then I decided to give it up; Apart from the reasons above, I found I was paying too much attention to the job and thus sacrificing my study time. The latest test result proved that my grades were getting worse.
    Even worse, I hadn’t enough time to join my classmates in college activities. Some times 1 felt lonely and unhappy because of both my study and my part-time job. Now I don’t think it is worth doing such a thing for even though I was earning money it came at great cost.
    Newspapers and magazines often publish stories about excellent students who do part-time work while also keeping high scores in class. But according to my experience, park-time work can have some strong negative influences on study.
    Most students don’t view the relationship between study and work correctly. In my opinion, if it isn’t a must for financial reasons, students should be careful about taking up a part-time job.
    小题1: From the text, we can tell that the writer is _____.    
    A．an unemployed manB．a middle-school student
    C．a college studentD．a door-to-door salesman
    小题2:Which of the following words has the closest meaning to the underlined word “sacrificing”? 
    A．LosingB．Wasting C．UsingD．Getting
    小题3:The writer thought_____. 
    A．doing a part-time job was unnecessary
    B．part-time jobs had good effect upon study
    C．it was hard to deal with the relationship between study and work
    D．part-time jobs would be good for every college student
    小题4:What would be the best title for the text _____.
    A．Part-time Jobs Are UsefulB．Part-time Jobs Can Cost Dear
