    A Love Note To My Mom

    People often talk as if shyness is a disease or mental condition that can be cured. I prefer to think of it as an emotional disability. It’s something we are born with and something we carry with us in our entire lives. There are too many people, however, who seem to be determined to find some way of doing away with their shyness. In my opinion, it’s a waste of time. I don’t mean that we should do nothing about it; quite the contrary, I think we need to separate the basic fact of shyness from our ability to take part in a social environment.
    Look at one of the most famous shy people of them all, Johnny Carson. This man is painfully shy, yet for decades he made a living talking and associating with different people every night, in front of a national audience. Carson has never done away with his shyness, but he has successfully found a way to deal with it to the extent that he could be, not just a talk show host, but a legend (传奇) among talk show hosts. Look also at Sally Fields, who has recently admitted her problem with shyness. This is a woman who has appeared in many films, TV shows and interviews, yet in her early years she was so shy that she turned down a lunch invitation from Jane Fonda because she was terribly afraid of meeting her.
    I guess that our shyness is there because each of us is born with some insecurity (不安全感) and this insecurity prevents us from reading out to others the way people with a more open personality do. As we grow up and become adults, we allow our social skills to grow and develop. But we are still stuck in kindergarten or elementary school or wherever it was when our shyness took root in our soul.
    小题1:. In the author’s view, shyness can be explained as _________.
    A．a disease that can be easily cured
    B．a not very normal mental condition
    C．an emotional disability
    D．something we pick up after birth
    小题2:. The author believes it’s a waste of time to ____________
    A．develop a healthy personality
    B．talk with as many people as possible
    C．study where shyness comes from
    D．look for ways to do away with one’s shyness
    小题3:. Which of the following is TRUE of Johnny Carson?
    A．He dared to speak in front of a national audience.
    B．He did away with his shyness carefully.
    C．He was described as a hero in some legend books.
    D．He failed to become a good talk show host.
    小题4:. The author thinks that our shyness is there because _______
    A．we are not open enough
    B．we don’t feel safe at heart
    C．we try to reach out to others all the time
    D．we lack certain social skills

    Animals seem to have the sense (本能) to eat when they are hungry and they do not eat more than their bodies need．It has been demonstrated that rats will, when given a choice over a period of time, prefer water with vitamins to water without vitamins even though there is no difference in taste or smell between the two water bottles. When a fragrant（香的） flavor (味道) was added to the vitamin-enriched water, the rats did seem to prefer it and kept drinking it ,even after the vitamins were switched to the clear water．In time, however, they broke the habit and went back to where the necessary vitamins were．
    In a classic experiment, babies of 6 to 12 months old were placed in a cafeteria（自助） feeding arrangement, with a wide selection of baby food before them．They were given whatever food they pointed to or appeared interested in．We are told that at first they showed some unusual eating patterns, but that over a period of time they managed to select well-balanced diet．
    So, in selecting food, rats and babies do seem to know and act on what's best for them．Apparently, there is a kind of “body wisdom”, which humans soon lose. Most of us do not eat as wisely as we could．Many of our food preferences are culturally determined and influenced by long-established（长期养成的）habits．Some people eat foxes, dogs and blackbirds, while we eat cows and pigs．So what people eat and how much they eat seems to be greatly influenced by what is going on around them．
    53．The expression “the habit” in paragraph 1 refers to drinking water which _______．
    A. has no smell    B. is tasteless    C. has vitamins   D. is flavored (有味道的)
    小题1:According to the passage, adults eating habits differ from those of babies because _______．
    A．adults know better than babies what kind of food are good for their health
    B．adults usually cannot resist (抵制) the temptation (诱惑) of various delicious foods
    C．adults' eating habits are closely related to the social and cultural customs
    D．adults have more choices of food than babies in eating patterns
    小题2:The author implied in the passage that most of us _______．
    A．eat a balanced diet
    B．choose the food that is of nutrition
    C．have the habits influenced by the surroundings
    D．like to eat the food with a fragrant flavor．
    小题3:As far as their eating habits are concerned, babies and rats are similar in that _______．
    A．both have the wisdom to choose a balanced diet
    B．both prefer flavored food and drink
    C．both have the same eating patterns
    D．both develop a taste for the same kinds of flavors

    Everybody hates rats．But in the earthquake capitals of the world-Japan，Los Angeles，Turkey-rats will soon be man's new best friends．
    What happens after an earthquake? We send in rescue（救援） dogs. Why? Because they can smell people．Dogs save lives．They help rescuers to find living people．But dogs are big and they can't get into small spaces．So now a new research project is using a smaller animal to save lives：the rat．
    How does it work? First，the rat is trained to smell people．When this happens，the rat's brain gives a signal（信号）．This is sent to a small radio on its back，and then the rescuers follow the radio signals．When the rat's brain activity jumps，the rescuers know that someone is alive．The rat has smelled that person．
    Although there are already robots which can do this job，rats are better．Christian Linster at Cornell University—New York says，“Robots' noses don't work well when there are other smells around．Rats are good at that．” Rats can also see in the dark．They are cheaper and quicker to train than dogs，and unlike robots，they don't need electricity!
    The “rat project” is not finished，but Julie Ryan of International Rescue Corps in Scotland says，“It would be fantastic．A rat could get into spaces we couldn't get to and a rat would get out if it wasn't safe．” Perhaps for the first time in history，people will be happy to see a rat in a building（but only after an earthquake，of course）．
    小题1:In the world earthquake capitals，rats will become man's best friends because they can _________．
    A．take the place of man's rescue jobs
    B．find the position of people alive who are trapped in buildings
    C．serve as food for people alive who are trapped in buildings
    D．get into small spaces
    小题2:From the third paragraph we know the rescuers can judge a person is alive by_________．
    A．the noise made by the ratB．the rat's unusual behavior
    C．the signal sent by the radio on the rat's backD．the smell given off by the person
    小题3: In doing rescue jobs，_________．
    A．rats smell better than dogs
    B．dogs don't need to be trained to smell people
    C．robots' sense of smell can be affected by other smells around
    D．rats can see in the dark and smaller than robots
    小题4: Rats have all the following advantages except that_________．
    A．they are more fantastic than other animalsB．they are less expensive to train than dogs
    C．they don't need electricityD．they are small and can get into small places

    They are among the 250, 000 people under the age of 25 who are out of work in the Netherlands, a group that makes up 40 percent of the nation’s unemployed．A storm of anger boils up at the government-sponsored （政府资助的） youth center, even among those who are continuing their studies．
    “We study for jobs that don’t exist,” Nicollets Steggerda, 23, said．
    After thirty years of prosperity, unemployment among 10 member nations of the European Community has reached as much as 11 percent, affecting a total of 12．3 million people, and the number is climbing．
    The bitter disappointment long expressed by British youths is spreading across the Continent．The title of a rock song “No Future” can now be seen written on the brick walls of closed factories in Belgium and France．
    One form of protest（抗议） tends to put the responsibility for a country’s economic troubles on the large numbers of “guest workers” from Third World nations, people welcomed in Western Europe in the years of prosperity．
    Young Europeans, brought up in an extended period of economic success and general stability, seem to be similar to Americans more than they do their own parents．Material enjoyment has given them a sense of expectation, even the right to a standard of living that they see around them．

    A．one million peopleB．250,000 people

    What does “getting along” with your teacher mean? “Getting along” means that both you and your teacher have a way of communicating and getting what you need from the relationship. In your teacher’s opinion, he or she wants to make sure that you are paying attention, being polite, and trying your best to learn. In your opinion, you want a teacher who is respectful to you, answers your questions, and tries to help you learn. You can get along and learn without being friends with your teacher, although it’s nice if that happens.
    In every school, kids will say that some teachers are mean or strict, but don’t judge a teacher until you are in his or her class and can see for yourself. A strict teacher may be someone who feels strong about getting his or her job done — teaching you the subject you are supposed to learn. It’s also important to remember that making mistakes is a part of learning. By pointing out your mistakes and helping you correct them, a teacher is teaching you. Remember, in most cases, your teacher is on your side.
    Even if a teacher isn’t your favorite, you can still have a successful relationship, especially if you carry out your responsibilities as a student. Here are some of those responsibilities:
    ●Attend class ready to learn. Be prepared for class with the right pencils and books.
    ●Listen carefully when your teacher is talking.
    ●Do your best, whether it’s classroom work, homework, or a test.
    小题1:The main idea of this passage is about _______.
    A．learning from your teacher
    B．making friends with your teacher
    C．getting along with your teacher
    D．understanding your teacher
    小题2: If you get along with your teacher, _______.
    A．your teacher will have to answer your questions
    B．both of you will benefit from the relationship
    C．your teacher will have to be respectful to you
    D．you will have to try your best to learn
    小题3:What does the underlined sentence in the second paragraph mean?
    A．Your teacher is teaching you to learn the subjects.
    B．The teacher has the responsibility to be strict with students.
    C．Pointing out your mistakes is also a way for a teacher to teach.
    D．The teacher is there to help you.
    小题4: According to the passage, which of the following is NOT the responsibility of a student?
    A．Learning by making mistakes.B．Attending class ready to learn.

    We all, at one time or another, have pretended to be a rock star, singing and dancing along to our favorite song. Most of us have done this in the privacy of our own room when we were kids and as adults, in the privacy of our homes. Me? I love to do that when I drive! I turn on the radio, find a song that I can sing along too and pretty soon my arms are in the air and I am moving along to the rhythm. Most of the time, I do this on my way to work.
    　　Yes, that is true. I will be in my nice work clothes, jamming while driving or stopped at a traffic light. I get weird looks from some people and others laugh. Personally, I love to get lost in the rhythm of a song which leads me to share with you the importance of being silly!
    　　The definition for the word silly, according to the dictionary is: stupid, foolish and nonsensical. I know many people do not want to look foolish. So they walk around all serious, which in all honesty, is foolish!
    　　No one is perfect, I repeat: no one is perfect. I don’t care how educated, how thin, how beautiful, how simple, how frugal, how rich, and so on… No one is perfect! So why pretend to be something you are not?
    Life is so short… You never know when this beautiful journey will be over, so why waste a single second on being so full of rigidity(呆板)? Here is a quote by Souza, that I think says it all and is a great recipe for life:
    　　"Dance as though no one is watching you,
    　　Love as though you have never been hurt before,
    　　Sing as though no one can hear you,
    　　Live as though heaven is on earth."
    　　When we were kids, we had no idea of what limitations were and we had no care in the world so we could do things without worrying about how we appeared to others. However, as we grew up, we lost that childlike innocence.
    　　So don’t lose the child that still lives within you. The next time you feel down, go turn on your favorite song, and sing and dance along like there is no tomorrow. Or watch something that makes you laugh. Laughter is the best medicine to whatever ails you and nothing is better than laughing so hard that your tummy hurts. Trust me, you will feel a whole lot better, and who doesn’t want to feel good?
    小题1: According to the passage, what does the writer usually do?
    A．He pretends to be a rock star.B．He dances in his own home.
    C．He sings songs while going to work.D．He gets jammed on his way to work.
    小题2:What do other people think of the writer?
    A．They think that the writer is strange.B．They look down upon the writer.
    C．They believe that the writer is lonely.D．No one is interested in the writer.
    小题3: What is the writer’s opinion about the people who look very serious?
    A．They are honest.B．They are silly.
    C．They are perfect.D．They are educated.
    小题4: The writer quotes Souza to show that _______.
    A．life is a beautiful journeyB．life is full of rigidity
    C．life is like a great recipeD．life is to be treasured
    小题5:The underlined part “the child” in the last paragraph probably refers to _______.
    A．the writerB．any child
    C．the feeling of being a childD．the time of being a child
