The Human Camera

There is not anybody else quite like Stephen Wiltshire. Born in 1974, Stephen was always different. 1. In fact, he talked to nobody, showed no interest in school subjects and wasn’t able to sit still. Stephen was later told that he had autism(自闭症). He didn’t learn fully to talk until he was nine years old and he didn’t manage to pass his exams. 2. Art became his way to communicate.

He started by drawing funny pictures of his teachers, but soon began to draw buildings. His eye for detail was perfect. He could see a building just once and remember everything about it. 3. Hours later, in front of TV cameras, he managed to draw this building, with the time on the station clock saying 11:20, the exact time when he was there. The television programme made him famous overnight in the UK.

4. He has become a well-known artist, published four books of his drawings, taken helicopter(直升机) rides above the world’s great cities and drawn amazing pictures of them, and opened his own art gallery, where he now works, in London.

His drawings are correct and true in every detail—he always manages to draw everything in the right place. 5. In 2006, he was given an MBE(Member of the Order British Empire) by the Queen of England for services to art.

A. Floating Cities was his third book.

B. As a child, he couldn’t make friends.

C. Besides, they are also beautiful to look at.

D. Luckily he found one thing he liked doing: drawing.

E. After that, many great things have happened to Stephen.

F. In 1987, he saw a train station in London called St Pancras.

G. On 15 February 2008, ABC News named him Person of the Week.

People seem to have a natural need for friends and with good reason. Friends increase your enjoyment of life and relieve feelings of loneliness. They even can help reduce stress and improve your health. Having good friends is especially helpful when you are going through any kind of hard time such as when you are experiencing anxiety, panic(恐慌) attacks, or depression.

When you are with good friends you feel good about yourself, and you are glad to be with them. A friend is someone who —

●you like, respect, and trust, and who likes, respects and trusts you

●doesn’t always understand you, but accepts and likes you as you are, even as you grow and change

●allows you the space to change, grow, make decisions, and even make mistakes

●listens to you and shares with you both the good times and the bad times

●respects your need for secrets, so you can tell them anything

●lets you freely express your feelings and emotions without judging, laughing at or criticizing you

●accepts the limitations you have put on yourself and helps you to remove them

A person once said, “Friendship is a continuing source of bonding(连接), releasing, and creating in yourself and with the other person. There is an emotional bond between the two people.”

A good friend or supporter may or may not be the same age or the same sex as you, and may not have the same educational, cultural, or religious background, or share interests that are similar to yours. Friendships also have different depths(深度). Some are closer to the heart and some more superficial, but they’re all useful and good.

1.Which of the following is NOT a function of a friend?

A. He brings you some happiness.

B. He helps you feel less lonely.

C. He helps you get over the difficulties.

D. He helps you cheat on the exam.

2.The underlined word “superficial” means ________.

A. deepB. hardC. shallowD. close

3.Which is the best title for the passage?

A. A Friend in Need Is A Friend Indeed

B. What Kind of Person A Friend Should Be

C. To Be A Good Friend

D. How to Get on with Your Friend

Japanese high school students either walk or ride bicycles if the distance is not too great. In other cases, students must take public buses and trains. After junior high school, students attend schools based on their high school entrance examination scores. So some students travel a great distance to attend the school.

◆________

The school day begins at 8:30. Then students assemble in their homeroom classes for the day's studies. Each homeroom has an average of 40-45 students. Students stay in their homeroom classrooms for most of the school day. Only for physical education, laboratory classes, or other subjects requiring special facilities(设备) do students move to different parts of the school. Between classes and at lunchtime, classrooms can be noisy, lively places. Some schools may have a cafeteria(自助餐厅), but most do not. In most schools, students bring a box lunch from home, prepared by the mother in the early morning hours.

Japanese students spend 240 days a year at school, 60 days more than American

students. Students in high schools take three years' studying of each of the following subjects: mathematics, social studies, Japanese, science and English. Other subjects include physical education, music, art, and moral studies(思想品德课). All the students in one grade level study the same subjects. Given the number of required subjects, electives(选修科目) are few.

◆After-school Activities

Club activities take place after school every day. Students can join only one club, and they rarely change clubs from year to year, so the clubs are relatively stable. Clubs are made up of sports clubs (baseball, soccer, judo, kendo, etc.) and culture clubs (English, broadcasting, science, etc.). New students usually are encouraged to select a club shortly after the school year begins in April. Clubs meet for two hours after school each day and many clubs continue to meet during school vacations.

1.Most Japanese high school students often have their lunch ________.

A. in restaurants

B. in school cafeterias

C. at home

D. in homeroom classrooms

2.Students in the USA go to school ________ days a year.

A. 180B. 200C. 240D. 300

3.The underlined word "rarely" in the fourth paragraph means "________".

A. alwaysB. neverC. seldomD. often

4.The best subtitle for the second and third paragraphs may be "________".

A. At schoolB. In classC. SubjectsD. Homerooms

It could happen just about any time you step out in public. You get onto an almost-empty bus, but the next passenger in decides to ignore dozens of empty seats to sit right next to you. While you're waiting in line at a supermarket, the next customer insists on standing only two inches behind you and shouting into his cell-phone. You go into a public restroom, and the next person to enter decides to use the next stall. Transgressions(冒犯) like these don't just make us feel uncomfortable; we often feel anxious, alarmed; and violated(被侵犯的). It is the attack of the personal-space invaders.

In any society, shared definitions of personal space govern how we interact with other people. People living in densely(密集地) populated cities like Mumbai, Beijing, or Mexico City tend to require less personal space than people living in sparsely(稀少地) populated places within the country. In America, New Yorkers often have smaller requirements than residents of western states, like Montana, Shenandoah and Wyoming. Because everyone has different standards, gestures that are innocent in one place can be interpreted as opposite in another, especially in Britain.

As the British etiquette(礼仪) website Debrett puts it, as a British person, somebody standing too close may make you "focus less on what somebody is saying than on how close they are to you". Simple acts like putting an arm around someone you don't know may seem friendly in China, but they can make us very uncomfortable. People from many European countries such as France and Spain kiss each other on the cheek when they meet, yet to British person, this seems too friendly and "touch-freely". The website explains! "The British are not backslappers(拍人后背的人) and generally do not show affection in public".

Are British people unfriendly? Far from it. The website adds that they are not as "stand-offish and aloof' as they may seem, but very friendly and helpful to foreigners. However, remember not to be too close. If you are going to come closer than an arm's length, please let them know.

1.According to the passage, if you were meeting a British for the first time, it would be polite of you to ________.

A. kiss him/her on the cheek

B. keep an arm's length away from him/her

C. put an arm around him/her

D. slap his/her back

2.According to the passage, who tend to require more personal space?

A. People living in Beijing and people living in Mexico City.

B. People living in Mumbai and people living in Shenandoah.

C. People living in Wyoming and people living in New York.

D. People living in Wyoming and people living in Montana.

3.The underlined word "stand-offish and aloof' in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to ________.

A. cold and indifferent

B. modest and cool

C. gentlemanly and kind-hearted

D. independent and strong-willed

4.What can we conclude from the article?

A. British people like to sit next to other people on empty buses.

B. British people usually kiss strangers on the cheek to greet them.

C. British people are helpful though they may not appear to be.

D. British people are delighted to show affection in public.
