Dear Abby£¬

How are you? Today I've got a wonderful news to tell you. I have offered a scholarship at a university in Australia for my further education. One hundreds and twenty students took exams but only a few was chosen and I was one of them. However, my parents are not happy about it. They are strong against me going there. They say it is too far away that they will not see me for a whole year and they are afraid I will feel lonely. They couldn't imagine a girl so young living alone. They advise me to study in the capital instead. Then I'll be able to continue living with us. Why can I persuade them to accept the fact I have grown up?

Best Wishes

Jane

Dear Brown£¬

Last summer I take a part£­time job in the International Camp for children. have been told one more worker will be needed in this year and I think you are fit to it. How about join us? The camp is at the foot of a small hill close to a river. It is so a beautiful place ! We can hear birds singing happy all around. Everybody sleeps in tents, that is very exciting. We usually work only five hours a day, so we will have plenty of spare time visit the area and have a fun. I am sure it will be an unforgettable experience. If you have interests in it, reply to me soon.

¡¾ÌâÄ¿¡¿Research shows that humans switch from selfish to unselfish behavior when they are watched. Do you?

A picture of a set of eyes on a computer screen can cause a change in the way people act. Even images of eyes on a charity do-nation, a collection box encourages people to be unselfish, because people put more money in a collection box that has a picture of eyes on it than they do when a flower symbol is on the box.

Manfred Milinski from the Max-Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology in Germany and Bettina Rockenbach of the University of Berlin, the authors of a new study, found that people act better when they are being watched be-cause they feel they will be rewarded for good behavior. Their report also referred to other research showing that this response of behaving well when watched is somehow coded into humans and people respond this way unconsciously, or without realizing it.

It is not just humans that act unselfishly when they are being watched. A fish called the grooming fish cleans other fish. When other fish are around, it is gentler. When no other fish are around, however, the grooming fish bites chunks from the fish it is supposed to be cleaning.

The researchers suggest that the best way to get people to be-have in the correct way is to make them feel watched. This could be the reason for the success of a famous American army poster. On it was a icture of an elderly man staring fiercely and pointing, it appeared, to the person who was looking at the poster. Under the picture was the caption " I Want You. " It encouraged hundreds of thou-sands of young American men to join the army during the Second World War to fight the Germans and Japanese.

¡¾1¡¿ According to the report, why does a person behave better when he feels he is being watched?

A. He does not want to be shamed by others.

B. He needs to show he is a good person.

C. He desires others to like him more.

D. He feels he will receive some social reward.

¡¾2¡¿ The underlined word "coded¡± (Paragraph 3) is closest in meaning to _________.

A. hidden B. programmed

C. forgotten D. leaned

¡¾3¡¿ What is the text mainly about?

A. It describes changed behavior when observed.

B. It details ways to control people's behavior.

C. It tells how to make people work harder.

D. It discusses different advertising methods.

¡¾4¡¿ According to the text, which of the following statements is true?

A. People pretend to behave better when they are watched.

B. Fish bite other fish in a fish tank when they are alone.

C. People donate more money when they feel they are watched.

D. Soldiers fought better during World War II because of a poster.

¡¾5¡¿ Where would the study described in the text most likely be found?

A. In a newspaper. B. In a scientific journal.

C. In an advertising magazine. D. In a science textbook.

¡¾ÌâÄ¿¡¿A great loss¡ªShirley Temple dies at 85

February 12, 2014

BY DERRIK J. LANG, Associated Press

Shirley Temple Black, who died on February 10th at age 85, wasn¡¯t just a child star. She was THE child star¡ªthe sweet little girl whose shining smile helped illumine some of the darkest days the US has known during the Great Depression.

It¡¯s hard today to imagine the super star Shirley was once ¡°America¡¯s Little Darling¡±. She sang and danced her way to the top of the box office in such films as Bright Eyes, Curly Top and Heidi. By 1940, she had appeared in 43 films. Temple teamed with Bill Robison in four movies, and their dance on the stairs in The Little Colonel is still a legendary film moment.

In the 1930s, her name on a movie introduction assured (±£Ö¤) a packed house. She inspired dolls, dresses, dishes¡ªeven a drink (alcohol-free, of course).

US President Franklin D. Roosevelt once famously said that ¡°as long as our country has Shirley Temple, we will be all right.¡¯¡¯

Unlike so many of today¡¯s child stars, Temple didn¡¯t end up with her name appearing across the headlines for bad behaviors. Instead of getting her photos on front pages or struggling with drugs and alcohol, Temple went on to a second career in diplomacy (Íâ½»), including presidential appointments as ambassador to Ghana.

She surprised a lot of people who doubted her with her grace, knowledge and eagerness to serve. In fact, her career in public service (20 years) was longer than her career in movies (19). The role she valued most, however, was as wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.

The world has lost a treasured Hollywood legend. But her movies will allow that little dynamic figure to continue charming audiences for a very long time.

¡¾1¡¿Temple, as a child movie star, can best be described as _______.

A. sweet and lively B. gentle and kind

C. smart and knowledgeable D. shy and attractive

¡¾2¡¿Where does this passage possibly come from?

A. A biography. B. A newspaper.

C. A magazine. D. A poster.

The most important effect of Silent Spring£¬though£¬was a new public awareness that nature was so easily destroyed by human intervention(¸ÉÔ¤)£®Rachel Carson had made a brave proposal£ºthat£¬at times£¬technological progress is so basically at odds with(Óë¡­¡­²»Ò»ÖÂ) natural processes that it must be prevented.
