***************************************
Dear Susan,
Please forward this message to students of my history class.
Besides the life story of Rosa Parks in the textbook,the students are also required to read the passage below and some related stories that can be borrowed from the school library.
Ted Hume
The early experiences of Rosa Parks(1913-2005),long known as the “mother of the civil rights movement.” were not different from those of many African-Americans at that time. The black woman,however,turned the course of American history in December 1955 when she refused to give up her scat on a bus to a white man. “By sitting down.” remarked John Lewis,“she was standing up for all Americans.”
Among the numerous awards Parks received in her life were the Presidential Medal of Freedom(1996)and the Congressional Gold Medal(1999).
Parks died on Oct.24,2005,At St. Paul A,M,E,Church in Montgomery,a large crowd including Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice celebrated her life. Rice said she and others,who grew up when the political activities of Parks held public attention. might not have realized her impact(影响)on their lives,“but I can honestly say that without Mrs. Parks,I probably would not be standing here as Secretary of State.”
After her casket(灵柩)was placed at the Capitol. U.S. President Bush,members of Congress and ordinary Americans paid their respects. In American history Parks is the first woman to lie in state at the Capitol,a very high regard usually reserved for Presidents of the United States.

All right! Enough cookies,cola, and chips! It seems that junk food is all that the children want to eat these days.Television controls their tastes.The kids see well-known personalities eating potato chips, candy and other processed food, and they want to be like their heroes.How do they do it?They eat the same food. I wish there were more characters like old Popeye(大力水手), the sailor, who ate spinach(菠菜) and not French fries.
Now I don't expect my children to eat healthy food because I like brown rice, beans, and fresh vegetables. I'm glad to cook traditional meals of meat and potatoes for them. I really can't be too upset with the kids because most adults aren't careful about what they eat. The other night, my wife and I went to a party where there was plenty to drink but very little for us to eat. They served hot dogs and hamburgers. I can't eat hot dogs, with all those preservatives(防腐剂), and hamburgers are filled with chemicals so that they look better. Besides the meat, they had sugar-filled cookies and cake, and of course, chips. I don't want the world to change because of me, but I think people should realize that there are alternatives(选择) to eating meat. They always tell me that I probably don't get my essential(必要的) proteins. I feel better than ever and I'm sure that it's because I'm a vegetarian(素食主义者). I would really like to see more television advertisements which show the benefits of good, healthy, natural food.
【小题1】According to the passage, it seems that ______.
A.canned food is the only one that the kids enjoy most. |
B.the children like to have fried chicken only. |
C.the kids prefer to have cold drinks, not junk food |
D.the children like nothing better than junk food: cookies and chips |
A.Television influences children’s food choice |
B.The author is not single and he eats meats |
C.Though the author is a vegetarian, he feels very healthy |
D.It is certain that beans and spinach are not junk food |
A.why he goes to the party | B.whether he gets enough proteins |
C.whether he allows his children to eat meat | D.whether he is healthy and strong |

第三部分 阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
It u won $ 50,000,000 would u still go to college?
Lots of people go to college so they have a chance to get a better job, but if you won $ 50 million, would you still pursue(追求)a higher education?
Re: If u won $ 50,000,000 would u still go to college?
I would surely still go to college if I had that much money, but I would not be competing for a scholarship on collegenet. com. I would probably still discuss things here and I would create other scholarships to help other people to go to college as well.
With $ 50 million, I would not have to worry about getting a loan(贷款)from Chase Bank or finding scholarships to study abroad. I would have published several books by now as well, but I would still pursue my education. Going to undergraduate school is something that I really want to do because I want to become a Pediatrician. Money may buy a lot of things, but it does not necessarily give you knowledge and knowledge is what I am hunting for now.
I am not just going to school to get a better job; I am going to school to realize all of my dreams. $ 50 million is a lot of money, but no amount of money can keep me from my dreams.
Veggie thought: “Money may make things easier, but it is not everything. ”
Re: If u won $ 50,000,000 would u still go to college?
Would I still go? UMM , YES YES YES YES YES! ! ! ! !
I still want to teach... I don’t care if I have more money than Bill Gates... I still want to be in a classroom teaching! ! And I need a degree to do that! Teaching is my dream job, and it would make me really happy.
I would pay off my loans as well as my boyfriend’s loans and help out a couple of friends who are having trouble with money.
Re: If u won $ 50,000,000 would u still go to college?
I would still go to college. The only difference is with that much money to go to college I probably would stay in college longer and pursue a few extra degrees while I am there. I am looking for knowledge not money. The only problem is I need money to pursue knowledge.
Also I could set up scholarship funds and I could save some more for additional dreams that I have.
56. According to the answers, what do they have in common?
A. They all prefer money to education.
B. They all want to get a better job.
C. They will continue to pursue knowledge.
D. They will give up jobs.
57. From the first answer, we know the person is ________.
A. patient B. ambitious C. mean D. selfish
58. In the following statements, which is true according to the passage?
A. They all have something they want to do.
B. They think money is more important than knowledge.
C. The first person is rich.
D. The second person doesn’t want to get other scholarship.
59. The underlined phrase “pay off” means ________.

I decided early in my college years that I wanted to experience living abroad before entering in the real world. During my senior year, while most of my friends were interviewing for “real world” jobs, I was investigating how I could go work in a different country. At that early stage of my inquiry I was pretty open about where to go and what kind of work to undertake. My desire to live abroad was so strong that I was willing to do anything anywhere.
Soon I learned about BUNAC, a program that seemed to be designed precisely for student with such interests. BUNAC offers work visas ( 签证 ) for students or recent graduates to work overseas. Of the six countries available, I chose England because of the language and opportunities for employment.
Two months after I graduated from college I went to Britain. I traveled throughout Europe for six weeks before arriving in London. I got to London on August 24, 1997 with a work visa, but no job or place to live. I have to admit it was pretty scary! The day after I arrived, I experienced my first British holiday --- a Bank Holiday, a national holiday that everything is closed for the day. It wasn’t until my third day that I visited the BUNAC office and I learned all about living and working in Britain, paying taxes, getting health insurance, traveling around Britain, finding accommodations and most importantly, finding a job. I was most scared about finding a job since my financial resources were running low and I needed to get my pay soon.
It turned out that finding a job was not so difficult. The BUNAC program is very well known in London and many employers participate in the program. As a result there are many employers in many different fields to choose from. My job search began when I chose three different business employers and faxed them my resume (简历). That first week I had three interviews. I accepted my first offer working for Merrill Lynch International Bank. The Merrill Lynch office I worked at was in a beautiful, old building located two blocks from Buckingham Palace. The people were nice and the work interesting.
It was easy to adjust to life in London. And there is so much to see that after six months exploring I probably covered only half of what I intended.
1. When the author studied at college she decided _________.
A. to enter the “real world” after graduation
B. to go and work in a foreign country
C. to settle in a different country
D. to find a job in the home country
2.The author chose England because ______.
A. it is a beautiful country and people there are nice
B. England is spoken there and it is easy to find a job
C. it is in Europe, not far from her own country
D. the BUNAC office is located there
3. After the author arrived in London, what worried her most was ________.
A. getting a job B. buying health insurance
C. traveling around Britain D. finding a place to live
4.Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?
A. A Trip to Britain B. What I Want to Be
C. Living in a Different Country D. My Work Experience
