13.British writer John Bunyan was born at Elstow,Bedfordshire,England,in November,1628.His father was a maker and mender of pots and kettles,and the son followed the same trade.Though he is usually called a tinker,Bunyan had a settled home and place of business.He had little schooling,and he describes his early surroundings as poor and mean.He became much interested in religions,but it was only after a tremendous spiritual conflict,lasting three or four years,that he found peace.His struggles are related with extraordinary vividness and intensity in his"Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners."His writing began with a controversy against the Quakers (教友派),and shows from the first the command of a homely but vigorous style.
Like most working men at the time,Bunyan had a deep hatred for the corrupted,hypocritical rich who accumulated their wealth"by hook and by crook."As a stout Puritan(清教徒),he had made a conscientious study of the Bible and firmly believed in salvation (拯救) through spiritual struggle.
Bunyan's style was modeled after that of the English Bible.With his concrete and living language and carefully observed and vividly presented details,he made it possible for the reader of the least education to share the pleasure of reading his novel and to relive the experience of his characters.
Bunyan's works include Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners (1666),The Life and Death of Mr.Badman (1680),The Holy War (1682)and The Pilgrim's Progress (1684).
The Pilgrim's Progress is the most successful religious allegory (寓言) in the English language.Its purpose is to urge people to observe Christian doctrines and seek salvation through constant struggle with their own weaknesses and all kinds of social evils.It is not only about something spiritual but also bears much relevance to the time.Its predominant metaphor-life as a journey-is simple and familiar.The objects that Christian meets are homely and commonplace,and the scenes presented are typical English ones,but throughout the allegory a spiritual significance is added to the commonplace details.Here the strange is combined with the familiar and the trivial joined to the divine,and,a rich imagination and a natural talent for storytelling also contribute to the success of the work which is at once entertaining and morally instructive.
"The Vanity Fair,"is an excerpt from The Pilgrim's Progress.The story starts with a dream in which the author sees Christian the Pilgrim,with a heavy burden on his back,reading the Bible.When he learns from the book that the city in which he and his family live shall be burnt down in a fire,Christian tries to convince his family and his neighbors of the oncoming disaster and asks them to go with him in search of salvation,but most of them simply ignore him.So he starts off with a friend,Pliable.Pliable turns back after they stumble into a pit,the Slough of Despond.Christian struggles on by himself.Then he is misled by Mr.Wordly Wiseman and is brought back onto the right road by Mr.Evangelist.There he joins Faithful,a neighbor who has set out later but has made better progress.The two go on together through many adventures,including the great struggle with Apollyon,who claims them to be his subjects and refuse to accept their allegiance to God.After many other adventures they come to the Vanity Fair where both are arrested as alien agitators.They are tried and Faithful is condemned to death.Christian,however manages to escape and goes on his way,assisted by a new friend,Hopeful.Tired of the hard journey,they are tempted to take pleasant path and are then captured by Giant Despair.Finally they got away and reach the Celestial City,where they enjoy eternal life in the fellowship of the blessed.

A.his father was making and mending pots and kettles
B.Bunyan had poor and mean early surroundings
C.the rich usually got their wealth in dishonest ways

3.Reading is the key to success.Apparently every successful person develops a passion for reading.This is because reading is a key element to obtain the information required to understand something.For instance,lawyers have to study and learn every established law on their specific branches.Sometimes the law changes according to people's needs.A good lawyer has to be informed about the latest news in the court.A doctor has to be informed of the latest advances in medicine.
Reading is very important for all mankind.Everything is relative in this world,especially reading.Reading can open any doors and it can lead you into a path of success.Studies have confirmed that reading to your unborn child is very good.This way your child will develop a passion for reading.
How do you develop a passion for reading?There is only one way you can boost your passion for reading.Let me explain this to you.If you want to learn how to ride a bike,you have to get on the bike as many times as possible until you have learned.It works the same way with reading.If you want to boost your reading,take a book and read it all the way through.When you finish reading your first book,take another book and do the same.Try to read as much as you can.If you are going out,grab a magazine,a book,an article or something to read.
There is a very important factor behind the reading-reading comprehension.It's what makes you understand the meaning behind the text.Let's assume that you read a document and you are supposed to explain the meaning of the document.How would you explain the document if you couldn't capture the message of the author?

1.Kids will often ignore(忽视) your requests for them to shut off the TV,start their chores,or do their homework as a way to avoid following your directions.Before you know it,you've started to sound like a broken record as you repeatedly ask them to do their assignments,clean their rooms,or take out the trash.Rather than saying,"Do your chores now."You'll be more effective if you set a target time for when the chores have to be completed.So instead of arguing about starting chores,just say,"If chores aren't done by 4p.m.,here are the consequences."Then it's up to your child to complete the chores.Put the ball back in their court.Don't argue or fight with them,just say,"That's the way it's going to be."It shouldn't be punitive(惩罚性的)as much as it should be persuasive."If your chores aren't done by 4p.m.,then no video game time until chores are done.And if finishing those chores runs into homework  time,that's  going to be your loss."On  the other hand,when dealing with homework,keep it very simple.Have a time when homework starts,and at that time,all electronics go off and do not go back on until you see that their homework is done.If your kids say they have no home-work,then they should use that time to study or read.Either way,there should be a time set aside when the electronics are off.
When a kid wears his iPod or headphones when you're trying to talk to him,make no bones about it;he is not ignoring you,he is disrespecting you.At that point,everything else should stop until he takes the earplugs out of his ears.Don't try to communicate with him when he's wearing headphones--even if he tells you he can hear you.Wearing them while you're talking to him is a sign of disrespect.Parents should be very tough about this kind of thing.Remember mutual respect becomes more important as children mature.
5.According to the passage,it seldom happens thatC.
A. kids turn a deaf ear to their parents'requests
B. parents'directions sound like a broken record

D. allow their children to behave on their own
7.It can be inferred from the passage thatC.
A. parents should take off his headphones when trying to have a talk with their child
B.it will make no difference that a kid is wearing his earplugs while talking to his parents
C. parents shouldn't give in to their kid when he shows no sign of respect
D. kids'purposely talking to their parents with iPod gives them a sense of power and control
8.The main idea of the passage isD.
A. that respecting each other is more important than anything else
B. how kids behave to ignore and disrespect their parents
C. that children should make choices and decisions on their own

8.It was eleven o'clock that night when Mr.Pontellier returned from his night out.He was in an excellent humor,in high spirits,and very talkative.His entrance awoke his wife,who was in bed and fast asleep when he came in.He talked to her while he undressed,telling her anecdotes and bits of news and gossip that he had gathered during the day.She was overcome with sleep,and answered him with little half utterances.
He thought it very discouraging that his wife,who was the sole object of his existence,showed so little interest in things which concerned him and valued so little his conversation.
Mr.Pontellier had forgotten the candies and peanuts that he had promised the boys.Still,he loved them very much and went into the room where they slept to take a look at them and make sure that they were resting comfortably.The result of his investigation was far from satisfactory.He turned and shifted the youngsters about in bed.One of them began to kick and talk about a basket full of crabs.
Mr.Pontellier returned to his wife with the information that Raoul had a high fever and needed looking after.Then he lit his cigar and went and sat near the open door to smoke it.
Mrs.Pontellier was quite sure Raoul had no fever.He had gone to bed perfectly well,she said,and nothing had made him sick.Mr.Pontellier was too well familiar with fever symptoms to be mistaken.He assured her the child was burning with fever at that moment in the next room.
He reproached his wife with her inattention,her habitual neglect of the children.If it was not a mother's place to look after children,whose on earth was it?He himself had his hands full with his business.He could not be in two places at once; making a living for his family on the street,and staying home to see that no harm done to them.He talked in a dull,repeated and insistent way.
Mrs.Pontellier sprang out of bed and went into the next room.She soon came back and sat on the edge of the bed,leaning her head down on the pillow.She said nothing,and refused to answer her husband when he questioned her.When his cigar was smoked out,he went to bed,and in half a minute was fast asleep.
Mrs.Pontellier was by that time thoroughly awake.She began to cry a little,and wiped her eyes on the sleeve of her nightdress.She went out on the porch,where she sat down and began to rock herself in the chair.
It was then past midnight.The cottages were all dark.There was no sound except the hooting of an old owl and the everlasting voice of the sea,which broke like a mournful lullaby (催眠曲) upon the night.
The tears came so fast to Mrs.Pontellier's eyes that the damp sleeve of her nightdress no longer served to dry them.She went on crying there,not caring any longer to dry her face,her eyes,her arms.
She could not have told why she was crying.Such experiences as had just happened were not uncommon in her married life.They seemed never before to have weighed much against the abundance (充足) of her husband's kindness and a uniform devotion which had come to be self-understood.
An indescribable oppression,which seemed to generate in some unfamiliar part of her consciousness,filled her whole being with vague pain.It was like a shadow,like a mist passing across her soul's summer day.It was strange and unfamiliar; it was a mood.She did not sit there inwardly scolding her husband,expressing sadness about Fate,which had directed her footsteps to the path which they had taken.She was just having a good cry all to herself.
The mosquitoes succeeded in driving away a mood which might have held her there in the darkness half a night longer.
The following morning Mr.Pontellier was up in good time to take the carriage which was to convey him to the ship.He was returning to the city to his business,and they would not see him again at the Island till the coming Saturday.He had regained his calmness,which seemed to have been somewhat weakened the night before.He was eager to be gone,as he looked forward to a lively week in the financial center.
66.Why didn't Mr.Pontellier's wife showed much interest in his conversation?B
A.She was tired of her husband's anecdotes and gossip.
B.She was sleepy when he returned home.
C.She disliked it that her husband came home once a week.
D.Her husband contributed little to the family.
67.How do you understand the sentence"Mrs.Pontellier sprang out of bed and went into the next room"?C
A.She reacted rudely against her husband's dull,insistent talking.
B.She couldn't put up with her husband's smoking any longer.
C.She feared that her child should have developed a fever.
D.Her child was talking about a basket full of crabs.
68.What does the underlined word"they"refer to?B
A.The husband and wife                    
B.Experiences
C.Tears                                             
D.Her face,eyes,arms
69.Which of the following concerning the husband is right?B
A.The husband cared much about his wife's feelings.
B.He lay the burden of child care altogether on his wife.
C.He felt grateful to his wife for her attendance to the family.
D.The wife blamed her unfortunate fate on her husband.
70.Why did the writer mention"the mosquitoes"in the last paragraph but one?C
A.To indicate that it was a summer's night.
B.To symbolize an annoying night.
C.To help the plot to end an event.
D.To represent the writer's personality---hard working.

3.I first met Paul Newman in 1968,when George Roy Hill,the director of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid,introduced us in New York City.When the studio didn't want me for the film-it wanted somebody as well known as Paul-he stood up for me.I don't know how many people would have done that;they would have listened to their agents or the studio powers.
      The friendship that grew out of the experience of making that film and The Sting four years later had its root in the fact that although there was an age difference,we both came from a tradition of theater and live TV.We were respectful of craft(技艺)and focused on digging into the characters we were going to play.Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical of American actors:humorous,aggressive,and making fun of each other-but always with an underlying affection.Those were also at the core (核心)of our relationship off the screen.
      We shared the belief that if you're fortunate enough to have success,you should put something back-he with his Newman's Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids who are seriously ill,and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival.Paul and I didn't see each other all that regularly,but sharing that brought us together.We supported each other financially and by showing up at events.
      I last saw him a few months ago.He'd been in  and out of the hospital.He and I both knew what the deal was,and we didn't talk about it.Ours was a relationship that didn't need a lot of words.
