I grew up poor-living with six brothers, three sisters and my mother. We had little money, but plenty of love and attention. I was and energetic. I understood that no matter how poor a person was, he could still a dream.

My dream was . By the time I was sixteen, I could throw a ninety-mile-per- hour baseball and anything that moved on the field. I was also : my high school coach was John, who not only me, but also taught me how to believe in myself. He me the difference between having a dream and showing conviction(信念). One particular incident with coach John changed my life forever.

A friend me for a summer job. This meant a chance for money in my pocket money for a new bike, new clothes and the of savings for a house for my mother. Then I realized I would have to up summer baseball to handle the work schedule, and that meant I would have to tell John I wouldnt be playing.

When I told John, he was as as I expected him to be. “You have your whole life to work,”he said,“Your days are limited. You cant afford to waste them.”I stood before him with my head , trying to think of the that would explain to him why my dream of buying my mom a house and having money in my pocket was worth facing his in me.

“Well,”he asked,“is $ 3.5 an hour the price of a dream?”

That simple question made to me the difference between something right now and having a goal. I myself in sports that summer and the year I was drafted(选拔) by the Pittsburgh Pirates to play baseball, and a $ 20,000 contract. Later, I bought my mother the house of my dream!

A troubled young man in Connecticut laid his hands on the kinds of guns that no civilian should ever have and shot 20 children and 6 adults . It was a tragedy that “ broke the hearts of America ” , as President Barack Obama said . The obvious way to prevent the next such massacre is gun control . And , yes , we need it now . Voters need to be loud , politicians need to be brave , and the gun lobby needs to be defeated . Perhaps Barack Obama , no longer up for election , will no longer be chicken .

But American violence doesn’t just come from the weapons we buy and the gun shows we frequent . It’s much deeper than that . This is also the country that supplies three-quarters of the world’s arms trade . These are weapon sales authorized by our government and by a Democratic President . International weapon sales by America between 2010 and 2011 tripled . The same Democratic President continues a policy of targeted ( often poorly ) assassinations in Pakistan .

This country also supplies most of the world’s violent entertainment . America leads the world in massacres in life , and in film too . The most popular movie this week , “ SKyfall , ” is a load of fun ; but every emotional climax involves a shooting , sometimes with small guns sometimes with large ones . Firearms have long been identified with manliness in popular culture . Ever more they are identified with womanliness , too . The most popular culture . Every more they are identified with womanliness , too . The most popular video game this week is “ Halo 4 ; ” the most popular novel is Tom Clancy’s “ Treat Vector ; ” the second and s\third best-selling works of nonfiction are “ Killing Kennedy ” and “ Killing Lincoln , ” respectively . Every author , and every creator , should have the right to make what they want . Still , every civilian has a right to choose what to see and what to buy .

Violence is sometimes essential to art , and often to foreign policy , too . But the cruel killing in Newtown , the worst single event in this country in eleven years and three months , should lead to a moment of deep reflection . It’s time to talk about guns ; but it’s also time to talk about a lot more .

1.What does the underlined word “ massacre ” in paragraph 1 probably mean ?

A. Awful accidentB. Serious condition

C. Mass killingD. Great destruction

2.The author lists some examples of violent entertainment EXCEPT __________ .

A. moviesB. books

3.Which of the following would the author probably agree with ?

C. Readers should be given the right to choose what they want .

D. Violence in art should share the blame for the killing in America .

4.The best title for the passage would probably be __________ .

A. The Roots of Violent Movies

B. America’s Culture of Violence

C. Bloody Killing Shocked America

D. Divide on Gun Control in America

We all know that the normal human daily cycle of activity is of some 7-8 hours' sleep alternating(交替) with some 16-17 hours' wakefulness and that the sleep normally coincides with the hours of darkness. Our present concern is with how easily and to what extent this cycle can be modified.
  The question is no mere academic one. The ease, for example, with which people can change from working in the day to working at night is a question of growing importance in industry where automation calls for round-the-clock working of machines. It normally takes from five days to one week for a person to adapt to a reversed(颠倒的) routine of sleep and wakefulness, sleeping during the day and working at night. Unfortunately, it is often the case in industry that shifts(轮班) are changed every week; a person may work from 12 midnight to 8 a.m. one week, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. the next, and 4 p.m. to 12 midnight the third and so on. This means that no sooner has he got used to one routine than he has to change to another, so that much of his time is spent neither working nor sleeping very efficiently.
  The only real solution appears to be to hand over the night shift to a number of permanent night workers. An interesting study of the domestic life and health of night-shift workers was carried out by Brown in 1957. She found a high incidence (发生率) of disturbed sleep and other disorders among those on alternating day and night shifts, but no abnormal occurrence of these phenomena among those on permanent night work.
  This latter system then appears to be the best long-term policy, but meanwhile something may be done to relieve the pressure of alternate day and night work by selecting those people who can adapt most quickly to the changes of routine. One way of knowing when a person has adapted is by measuring his body temperature. People occupied in normal daytime work will have a high temperature during the hours of wakefulness and a low one at night; when they change to night work the pattern will only gradually go back to match the new routine and the speed with which it does so parallels, broadly speaking, the adaptation of the body as a whole, particularly in terms of performance. Therefore, by taking body temperature at two-hour intervals(间隔时间) throughout the period of wakefulness, it can be seen how quickly a person can adapt to a reversed routine, and this could be used as a basis for selection. So far, however, such a form of selection does not seem to have been applied in practice.
1.The main problem of the round-the-clock working system lies in .

A. the inconveniences brought about to the workers by the introduction of automation

B. the disturbance of the daily life cycle of workers who have to change shifts too frequently

C. the fact that people working at night are often less effective

D. the fact that it is difficult to find a number of good night workers

2.The best solution for implementing the 24-hour working system seems to be .

A. to change shifts at longer intervals.

B. to have longer shifts

C. to arrange for some people to work on night shifts only

D. to create better living conditions for night workers

3. It is possible to find out if a person has adapted to the changes of routine by measuring his body temperature because .

A. body temperature is higher when the cycle of sleep and wakefulness alternates

B. body temperature changes when he changes to night shift or back

C. the temperature reverses when the routine is changed

D. people have higher temperatures when they are working efficiently

4.Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?

A. Body temperature may serve as an indication of a worker's performance.

B. The selection of a number of permanent night shift workers has proved to be the best solution to problems of the round-the- clock working system.

C. Taking body temperature at regular intervals can show how a person adapts to the changes of routine.

D. Disturbed sleep occurs less frequently among those on permanent night or day shifts.
