    　Agatha Christie went out at night. She never forgot the night when she met a robber many years ago.

    　　That evening, she was invited to a birthday party which lasted until 2 o' clock in the morning. Agatha walked in the quiet street alone. Suddenly from the shadow of a dark building a tall man with a sharp knife in his right hand ran out at her. “Good morning, lady,” the man said in a low voice, “I don't think you wish to die here!”

    　　“What do you want?” Agatha asked．

    　　“Your earrings (耳环). Take them off!”

    　　Agatha suddenly had a bright idea．She tried to cover her necklace with the collar(衣领) of her overcoat while she used the other bank to take off both off her earrings and then she quickly threw them on the ground．

    　　“Take them and let me go,” she said．The robber saw that the girl didn't care for the earrings at all, only trying to protect the necklace. He thought the necklace would cost more, so he said, “Give me your necklace.”

    　　“Oh, sir. It's not worth much. Please let me keep it.”

    　　“Stopping rubbish (废话). Quick!”

    　　With shaky hands, Agatha took off her necklace. As soon as the robber disappeared, she picked up her earrings and ran as fast as she could to one of her friends.

    　　阅读理解

    　　Americans are reputed to be friendly people． Their friendships, however, tend to be shorter and more casual than friendships among people from other cultures． It is not uncommon for Americans to have only one close friend during their lifetime, and consider other “friends” to be just social acquaintances． This attitude probably has something to do with American mobility and the fact that Americans dislike to be dependent on other people． They incline to “compartmentalize”（划分）friendships, having “friends at work”, “friends on the softball team．” “family friends ” and so forth．

    　　Because the United States is a highly active society, full of movement and change, people always seem to be on the go． In this highly charged atmosphere, Americans can sometimes seem abrupt or impatient． They want to get to know you as quickly as possible and then move on to something else． Sometimes, early on, they will ask you questions that you may feel are very personal． No insult is intended; the questions usually grow out of their genuine interest or curiosity, and their impatience to get to the heart of the matter． And the same goes for you． If you don’t understand certain American behavior or you want to know more about them, do not hesitate to ask them questions about themselves． Americans are usually eager to explain all about their country or anything “American” in which you may be interested． So much so in fact that you may become weary of listening． It doesn’t matter because Americans tend to be uncomfortable with silence during a conversation． They would rather talk about the weather or the latest sports scores, for instance, than deal with silence．

    　　On the other hand, don’t expect Americans to be knowledgeable about international geography or world affairs, unless those subject directly involve the United Stated． Because the United States is geographically distant from many other nations, some Americans tend not to be aware of what goes on in other parts of the world．

    　　Recent studies suggest that family arrangements in Western societies have not changed as much in the last few centuries as is generally believed．Yet most sociologists agree that in modern societies, there are fewer opportunities for friendship and support from relatives．Parents and children often live apart from other relatives, and seldom visit them．Also, the family moves when a parent accepts a job in another place or when it decides to live in a better neighbourhood．Together, loneliness and mobility(迁移)force immediate family members to depend heavily on one another for affection and companionship．

    　　Because the family is one of the few ongoing sources of affection and companionship in modem societies, a high, percentage of people continue to marry, even though it is possible for a single man and woman to live together without marrying．On the other hand, because affection and companionship have become so important, families are more likely to break up if the husband’s or wife’s emotional(情感的)needs are not met within the family circle-even if al1 other family functions(功能)are being satisfactorily performed, and in this sense, affection and companionship have become the touchstone of the modem family．

    many people spend their lives in familiar communities

    B．

    a person can easily get in touch with relatives in times of difficulty

    C．

    　　阅读理解

    　　Animals seem to have the sense 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 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 habits．Some people eat fox, dog 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．

    (1)

    The expression"the habit"(para．1, sentence 4)refers to drinking water which________．

    [　　]

    A．

    has no smell

    B．

    is tasteless

    C．

    has vitamins

    D．

    is flavored

    (2)

    [　　]

    A．

    adults know better than babies what kind of food are good for their health

    B．

    adults usually cannot resist the temptation 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

    (3)

    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．

    (4)

    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

    　　阅读理解

    　　Chinese are very generous when it comes to educating their children．Not caring about the money, parents often send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England, the United States or Australia．They also want their children to take extra-course activities where they will either learn a musical instrument or ballet, or other classes that will give them a head start in life．The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is．So parents will spend an unreasonable amount of money on education．Even poor couples will buy a computer for their son or daughter．

    　　However, what most parents fail to see is that the best early education they can give their children is usually very cheap．

    　　Parents can see that their children’s skills vary, skilled in some areas while poor in others．What most parents fail to realize though, is that today’s children lack self-respect and self-confidence ．

    　　The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiple-choice tests and how to study well, but parents are not teaching them the most important skills they need to be confident, happy and clever．

    　　Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking, sewing and doing other housework．

    　　Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life．Cooking demands patience and time．It is an enjoyable but difficult experience．A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and gradually finish his job successfully．His result, a well-cooked dinner, will give him much satisfaction and a lot of self-confidence．

    　　Some old machines, such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child to play with will make him curious and arouse his interest．He will spend hours looking at them, trying to fix them; your child might become an engineer when he grows up．These activities are not only teaching a child to read a book, but rather to think, to use his mind．And that is more important．

    (1)

    Parents in China, according to this passage, ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    are too strict with their children

    B．

    are too rich to educate their children

    C．

    have some problems in educating their children correctly

    D．

    are too poor to educate their children

    (2)

    The writer of the passage does not seem to be satisfied with ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    the parents’ ideas of educating their children

    B．

    the education system

    C．

    children’s skills

    D．

    children’s hobbies

    (3)

    Doing some cooking at home helps children ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    learn how to serve their parents

    B．
