A characteristic of American culture that has become almost a tradition is to respect the self-made man — the man who has risen to the top through his own efforts, usually beginning by working with his hands. While the leader in business or industry or the college professor occupies a higher social position and commands greater respect in the community than the common laborer or even the skilled factory worker, he may take pains to point out that his father started life in America as farmer or laborer of some sort.
This attitude toward manual(体力的) labor is now still seen in many aspects of American life. One is invited to dinner at a home that is not only comfortably but even luxuriously (豪华地) furnished and in which there is every evidence of the fact that the family has been able to afford foreign travel, expensive hobbies, and college education for the children; yet the hostess probably will cook the dinner herself, will serve it herself and will wash dishes afterward; furthermore the dinner will not consist merely of something quickly and easily got from contents of various cans and a cake or a pie bought at the nearby bakery. On the contrary, the hostess usually takes pride in careful preparation of special dishes. A professional man may talk about washing the car, digging in his flowerbeds, painting the house. His wife may even help with these things, just as he often helps her with the dishwashing. The son who is away at college may wait on table and wash dishes for his living, or during the summer he may work with a construction gang on a highway in order to pay for his education.
What can we infer from Paragraph 1?
In America, people tend to have a high opinion of the self-made man.
In America, people can always rise to the top through their own efforts.
In America, college professors win great respect from common workers.
In America, people feel painful to mention their fathers as labors.
Why does the hostess mentioned in the passage cook dinner herself?
Because servants in America are hard to get.
Because she takes pride in what she can do herself.
Because she can hardly afford servants.
Because it is easy to prepare a meal with canned food.
What does the underlined phrase “wait on table” in the second paragraph mean?
A. Work in a furniture shop. B. Keep accounts for a bar.
C. Wait to lay the table. D. Serve customers in a restaurant.
What is the passage mainly about?
A respectable self-made family.
American attitude toward manual labor.
Characteristics of American culture
The development of manual labor.

Student Services
Students' Union
Every University has a Students' Union. If students are the lifeblood of a university, the Union is surely its beating heart.
For students, by students
A Students’ Union is run by students and acts independently. At the end of each academic year, it will find six students to hold a sabbatical(带有休假的) position managing the Union for the coming year. That the six successful sabbatical officers have only recently experienced issues affecting students ensures that your needs are very well understood.
Letting your hair down
Although the University is spread across a fairly wide area, the Union is centrally located and is only a short walk from any of the main buildings. This makes it very easy to catch up with friends who might be on a different course.
At night, the place really comes alive – we have three different bars to suit every occasion. The venues are student-only so you can be sure of meeting people with a similar outlook and we throw in a transport service to make sure you get home safely.
The Union also organizes various formal balls throughout the year, with the highlight being the end-of-year ball.
Supporting you
Beyond having fun, we also make sure some of the more serious issues are effectively dealt with. If you have a problem with your course, another sabbatical officer is trained to help you. Being independent from the University means we can represent and support you to the best of our ability, and once you reach university you may find that you become aware of more national or political issues.
From the second paragraph of the passage, we can infer that ______.
A. a Students’ Union is operated by the university
B. a Students’ Union is not operated by the university
C. a Students’ Union is operated is working for the university
D. a Students’ Union is affected by the university
The person who takes up a certain post of the Students’ Union ______.
A. learns what the students need
B. is very happy and easy
C. can affect the life of any student
D. has understood everything of the University
According to the third paragraph, we can learn that ______.
A. a Students’ Union is far away from the university
B. a Students’ Union is near to the home
C. a Students’ Union is central part of the university
D. a Students’ Union has different courses for all the students
From the passage, we can learn that ______ is the most wonderful program of every year.
A. making friends
B. dancing in a bar
C. the match of the end-year ball
D. electing the officers
After reading the last two parts, we can infer that _______.
A. the Students’ Union can help a student who has trouble in the study
B. the Students’ Union can help a student who is being trained
C. the Students’ Union can cultivate the ability of a student to be suitable for political position
D. the Students’ Union can support a student to run the University

Have you got any wonderful plans for your coming winter vacation? Here are some wonderful films for you to kill time.
Away We Go With a baby on his way, a young couple, Burt and Verona, look at their lives and are puzzled about what they really want. So they hit the road and seek a place to call home. On their journey, they visit a handful of characters and learned a lot. It’s about taking the scenic route in life, preparing for the hope and excitement and fear of new beginnings, while never forgetting to look out of the window. | Orphan Esther, a bright and well-behaved child, however, is not as innocent as she appears. Soon after being taken home, the peace of her adoptive family is completely changed… You want a good horror film about a child from hell? Then you got one! Do not, in any cases, take children to see it. |
500 Days of Summer Tom is in love with Summer from the moment he sees her. Can he accept that she simply likes him for now, not for forever? The movie is about Tom wrestling with that reality. Tom remembers his love, Summer, as a series of joys and bafflements. But Summer is just herself and he cannot have her. Here is a rare movie that begins by telling us how it will end and is about how the hero has no idea why. | 2012 The director Roland Emmerich successfully dresses a corny story with an old Mayan prediction, which is believed by many to happen in the coming 2012 and as a result, attracts millions of people into the cinema. It’s just an entertaining Hollywood blockbuster(大片) with plenty of jokes, instead of a description of what the end of the world is really like. Don’t take it too seriously! |
