TV talk shows dominate daytime television. And anyone who watches them regularly knows that each one is different in style. But no two shows are more opposite in content, while at the same time standing out above the rest than the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey shows.
Jerry Springer could easily be considered the king of “rubbish talk”. The contents on his show are as surprising as possible. For example, the show takes the forever-common talk show titles of love, sex, cheating, and hate to a different level. Clearly, the Jerry Springer show is about the dark side of society, yet people are willing to eat up the troubles of other people’s lives.
Like Jerry Springer, Oprah Winfrey takes TV talk show to its top, but Oprah goes in the opposite direction. The show is mainly about the improvement of society and the quality of life. Contents are from teaching your children lessons, managing your work week, to getting to know your neighbors.
Compared with Oprah, the Jerry Springer looks like poisonous waste being poured into society. Jerry ends every show with a “final word”. He makes a small speech about the main idea of the show. Hopefully, this is the part where most people will learn something very valuable.
Clear as it is, the Oprah show is not for everyone. The show’s main viewers are middle-class Americans. Most of these people have the time, money, and ability to deal with life’s tougher problems. The Jerry Springer show, on the other hand, has more of connection with the young adults of society. These are 18-to-21-year-olds whose main troubles in life include love, relationship, sex, money and drugs. They are the ones who see some value and lessons to be learned through the show’s exploitation (开发，挖掘).
小题1:Compared with other TV talk shows, both the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey shows are _____.

A．more popular

B．less interesting

C．more uninviting

D．more informal

小题2:What is the audience’s reaction to the social problems that Jerry Springer talks about?

A．They are interested in them.	B．They are not ready to face them.
C．They are cold to them.	D．They want to get away from them.

小题3:Which of the following topics is the most suitable one for the Oprah show?

A．Cheating.

B．A love story.

C．Mental health.

D．Sex.

小题4:From the passage we can learn that the two talk shows _____.

A．are the only ones of their kind	B．exploit weaknesses in human nature
C．appear at different times of the day	D．have their own specific viewers

Not many people know that U.S. President Calvin Coolidge did not always live in the White House. Sometimes he lived in the nearby Willard Hotel.
Once, in the middle of a night, the President awoke to see a thief searching his clothes. Coolidge calmy spoke up from the darkness, “I wish you wouldn’t take that watch.”
“Why?” asked the shocked man.
Coolidged answered, “Take it near the window and read what is engraved on the back of it.”
The man read, “Presented to Calvin Coolidged, Speaker of the House, by the Massachusetts General Court.” He was very surprised!
“Are you President Coolidge?” he asked. He had never thought he would find the president sleeping in a hotel!
“Yes, I am” Coolidge said. Then he asked, “Why are you doing this,Son?”
The young man explained that he and a friend traveled to Washington during their college vacation. They spent all of their money and had no money to pay the hotel bill and the train tickets back to school.
Coolidge added up those fees. It came to $32. That may not sound like much now, but it was a big sum then. “I’ll give you the $32 as a loan,” the President said, “And I expect you to pay me back.”
The youth thanked him. Coolidge left him with this warning: “Son, you are a nice boy, you are better than you are acting. You are starting down the wrong road. Just remember who you are.”
It wasn’t until after the death

of Mr.Coolidge that this story was allowed to come out. It was first published in the Los Angeles Times. And the most interesting of all is that the President’s notes show that the young man was indeed better than he was acting. He repaid the $32 loan in full.
小题1:.The president stopped the youth from stealing the watch because

A．It was his favorite watch.

B．He wanted to give some money to the youth

C．He wanted to help the young man from getting into trouble

D．He used it for work and daily life

小题2: It can be inferred from the passage that

A．the youth’s family was in financial difficulty

B．hotel fees were rather expensive at that time

C．the youth never connected with the president again

D．the youth learned a lesson from his experience with the president

小题3: How did people first get to know the story of the president with the youth?

A．From the president himself

B．From a newspaper

C．From the youth’s notes

D．From the youth himself

小题4: We can learn from the passage that

C
By far the most common difficulty in studying is simple failure to get down to regular concentrated wo

rk. This difficulty is much greater for those who do not work to a plan and have no regular routine of study. Many students muddle (胡乱对付) along, doing a bit of this subject or that, as the mood takes them, or letting their set work pile up until the last possible moment.
Few students work to a set timetable. They say that if they did work out a timetable for themselves they would not keep to it, or would have to change it frequently, since they can never predict from one day to the next what their activities will be.
No doubt some students are more willing to accept a regular routine than others. There are many who shy away from a self-controlled weekly timetable, and dislike being tied down to a fixed program of work. Many able students state that they work in cycles. When they become interested in a topic, they work on it attentively for three or four days at a time. On other days they avoid work completely. It has to be admitted that we do not fully understand the motivation (动机)to work.. Most people over 25 years of age have become used to routine, and the majority of real productive workers set aside regular hours for the more important areas of their work. The “tough-minded” school doesn’t fully accept the idea that good work can only be done naturally, under the influence of inspiration.
Those who believe that they need only work and study as the fit takes them have a mistaken belief either in their own talent or in the value of “freedom”. In fact, freedom from control and discipline（纪律）leads to unhappiness rather than to “self-expression” or “personality development”. Our society insists on regular habits, timekeeping and punctuality (准时), and whether we like it or not, if we mean to make our way in society, we have to meet its demands.
小题1:The most widespread problem in applying oneself to study is ______.

A．changing from one subject to another

B．the failure to keep to a set timetable of work

C．the unwillingness to follow a systematic plan

D．working on a subject only when one feels like it

小题2:Which of the following is true?

A．Many students are not interested in using self-controlled timetable.

B．Many students don’t like being told to study to a fixed timetable.

C．Most people of over 25 years of age don’t work to a set timetable.

D．Tough-minded people agree that good job is done naturally

小题3:The underlined part “as the fit takes them” in paragraph 4 probably means ______.

A．when they have the energy

B．when they are in the mood

C．when they feel fit

D．when they find conditions are suitable

小题4:A suitable title for the passage might be ______.

A．Attitudes to Study	B．A study Plan
C．The Difficulties in Studying	D．Study and Self-discipline

The national assistance system for poor college students is getting more effective as proved by fewer phone calls to the hotline of the National Center for Student Assistance Administration.
"Poor college students and their parents are getting more satisfied with the national assistance system," said Ma Wenhua, deputy director of the administration, on Saturday. Over the past three years, the hotline received 8,488 calls. Statistics show 62 percent of the calls were made to ask about the funding policy, while 38 percent (3,200 calls) complained local colleges had failed to abide by the rules to support the students.
Complaints were seen a year-on-year decrease from 2006 to 2008. Ma said some poor families might still overlook what they should do to get support for their child. To ensure education equality, the government has introduced a set of favorable policies to help poor students, such as scholarships, grants(助学金), student loans, tuition waivers(学费全免) and the work-study programs under which poor students are helped out in libraries, teachers' offices or service departments to earn money.
Statistics show the government spent 29.3 billion yuan last year to aid college students, up 7.6 percent from the previous year. Around 40 million persons of college students received the national aid.
The Ministry of Education of the government would ensure that no students drop out of colleges or universities because of poverty.
Among the 20 million students in the country's public and private universities and colleges last year, about 20 percent came from poor backgrounds, official figures show.
小题1:The national assistance system is set up ___.

A．for parents and students to complain

B．to help poor college students

C．for poor students to get free education

D．to help students find jobs

小题2:The underlined phrase "abide by" in the second paragraph probably means ____.

A．follow

B．break

C．bear

D．agree to

小题3:From the passage, we know that ____.

A．students will drop out of university because of poverty

B．Chinese poor college students are more satisfied with national assistance system

C．more and more parents are complaining about their local colleges

D．college students are suffering from great economic pressure

Are you fond of tomatoes? Bunol, a town in Spain, held its yearly tomato festival on the last Wednesday of August. Thousands and thousands of people made their way from all corners of the world to fight in it, the world’s biggest food fight. Tons of fully-grown tomatoes were thrown in the streets.

No one knows exactly how this event started. Maybe it came from a local food fight between friends, or a joke that was played on a bad musician.

On Wednesday, at 11am, the fight began. A cannon(大炮

) shot was fired to start the fight. At first, people fought one another, but slowly they began to fight in groups. After exactly one hour, the fight ended when the cannon shot was fired once more. At this point, no more tomatoes could be thrown.

Those who attend this event are encouraged to wear protective glasses. And they must press the tomatoes before throwing so that they won’t hurt others. Another rule is that no one is allowed to take anything — such as a glass bottle — into the fight. Although it is forbidden to tear(

扯破) another person’s clothing, the crowd seems to tear the shirt of any clothed person, whether they are men or women.
Fire trucks are used to clean the streets after the fight with water provided from a Roman channel (海峡

). The government seems more concerned with cleaning up the town than the visitors, and people go to the Bunol River for a wash.

小题1:What do we know about the tomato fight?

A．Nobody knows how it really started.
B．Only people from Spain can take part in it.
C．It is held on the first Wednesday of August.
D．Green tomatoes can be used in the fight.
小题2:When the cannon shot is fired the second time, ____.
A．people start to throw tomatoes
B．people start to fight in groups
C．the whole tomato fight is over
D．the fight has lasted for two hours
小题3:Which is NOT one of the rules of the tomato fight?
A．People can’t use glass bottles.
B．People must wear protective glasses.
C．It isn’t allowed to tear other people’s clothes.
D．Tomatoes should be pressed before they are thrown.
小题4:After the tomato fight, the town government ____.
A．provides water to the people
B．cleans up the streets with fire trucks
C．takes people to the Bunol River
D．holds other activities about tomatoes

						Research has shown that music has an important effect on one’s body and psyche (心灵). In fact, there is a growing field of health care known as music therapy, which uses music to treat diseases. Even hospitals are beginning to use music therapy. This is not surprising, as music affects the body and mind in many powerful ways.
Research has shown that quick music can make a person feel more alert, while slow music can produce a calm, deep thinking state. Also, research has found that music can change brainwave activity levels. This can help the brain to change speeds more easily on its own as needed, which means that music can bring lasting benefits to your state of mind, even after you’ve stopped listening.
Breathing and heart rates can also be influenced by music. This can mean slower breathing, slower heart rate. This is why music and music therapy can help reduce the damaging effects of long-term stress, greatly promoting (促进) not only relaxation, but health.
Music can also be used to bring about a more positive state of mind by helping to keep worries at bay. Music has also been found to bring many other benefits, such as lowering blood pressure and reducing the risk of strokes.

						Most of the 20th century has been a development on the Industrial Revolution taken to an extreme: people now own more products than ever before; there are enough unclear weapons to destroy the earth several times over; there is hardly any forest left and pollution has got to the point where we buy water. Within a few years I predict you will be able to buy air. (There once was a time when you didn’t need to buy food or shelter either.)
Important developments in the last century are the breading down of the class structures left over from the Industrial Revolution stage, bringing with it the empowerment of the “common man ”: the working day is set by law to only 8 hours a day, everyone has the vote, the media has less obvious government control, people have landed on the moon, sent spacecrafts to Mars and so on. Families have also shrunk drastically（强烈地）; the nuclear family came about, and especially in the last half of the 20th century, one-parent families are becoming more common. This shrinking in the size of the family shows the increased independence of people—once upon a time people had to live in large groups to survive.
As humans have “become the gods”, they have realized their individuality and independence and taken their control of the world to an extreme. In many countries the land is almost completely used in the land is almost completely used in the production of food and as living space and they live in small cities which are entirely human constructed, made from materials which are also entirely human constructed(concrete, bricks) with hardly any remains of nature. Weeds are poisoned because they are messy; even parks have trees grown in tidy lines; grass is mowed to keep it short and so on. I think the massive drug “problem” troubling people is a result of too much of this influence, humans needing to escape the stark world they have created by entering fantasy worlds.
Over the last 100 years, the 20th century consciousness has spread throughout the world; most of Asia has been thoroughly “Westernized”, and most of the Third World is being overrun by western ways of doing things and living.
小题1:What’s the author most concerned about?A．The influence of pollution.
B．Strong effects of development.
C．Changed positions of humans as gods.
D．The process of the Industrial Revolution.
小题2:What is the author’s attitude towards the changes of the 20th century?   A．Objective. B．Tolerant. C．Vague. D．Negative.
小题3:What does the underlined word “stark” in Paragraph 3 mean?A．Unfair. B．Illegal. C．Dull. D．Violent.
小题4:What can be inferred from the passage?A．Men’s individuality is over controlled.
B．People have damaged nature too much.
C．Men’s independence is partially limited.
D．People show concern for nuclear families.
