         Last week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson,Arizona.
    He moved there a few years ago,and I was eager to see his new place and meet his friends.
         My earliest memories of my father are a tall, handsome, successful man devoted to his
    work and his family, but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him, he seemed
    unhappy with me unless I got straight A's and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers
    were not as "successful" as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to
    struggle to think up things to say , feeling on guard.
         On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father's friends for lunch at an
    outdoor cafe. We talked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table,

    strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my father, who seemed so friendly and
    interesting to be around? What had held him back before?
         The next day dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories
    about his own childhood. Although our times together became easier over the years , I
    never felt closer to him at that moment. After so many years, I'm at last seeing another
    side of my father. And in so doing, l'm delighted with my new friend. My dad, in his new
    home in Arizona, is back to me from where he was.

    阅读理解
         Last month, James Connolly, a junior at the University of Massachusetts, stood in front of a local
    police station wearing a toga (长袍) as punishment.
         His crime? He was charged with underage drinking, illegal possession of alcohol and too much noise
    while holding a party.
         This shaming punishment has increased in the US in recent years, mostly imposed (强加) by local
    judges for less－serious crimes, such as drunk driving and theft.
         They believe shame is the best petty crime deterrent (威慑). For example, in Tennessee, Judge James McKenzie has made shoplifters stand outside Wal－Mart with signs that read, "I am a thief put here by
    order of Judge McKenzie."
         "Alternative punishments like community service and fines don't convey moral condemnation of the
    criminal," said Dan Kahan, a University of Chicago Law School professor, in an article published on the
    university's website. "They aren't shameful enough."
         Supporters of shaming punishment argue that public shaming is a good way of expressing community
    values. Some judges say shamed offenders seldom repeat their crimes.
         Others aren't so sure. "There is little evidence to suggest that shaming punishments are successful in
    preventing people from committing specific crimes. And a shamed criminal may face a hard battle to
    regain trust in society," said Hosmanek. "So, a shaming punishment may force the offender into more
    crimes to support himself."
    1. According to the passage, wearing a toga in public is a(n)________.
    A. honour  
    B. shame
    C. duty  
    D. crime
    2. Connolly was punished for________.
    A. shoplifting  
    B. drunk driving
    C. serious crimes  
    D. petty crimes
    3. Which of the following is the most effective in preventing petty crimes according to Professor Kahan?
    A. Getting a fine for what one has done.
    B. Apologizing to the police for one's wrongdoing.
    C. Holding a sign in public that announces one’s own crime.
    D. Being forced to work for the community without being paid.
    4. According to Hosmanek, shamed criminals are more likely to commit new crimes because________.
    A. it's difficult for them to find a job
    B. they no longer have a sense of shame
    C. there's too much fighting in society
    D. they do not want to do any work
    5. This passage is mainly about________.
    A. crime deterrent  
    B. alternative punishments
    C. shaming punishment  
    D. community values

         Last year college students in America spent an estimated $700 on textbooks on average. The
    National Association of College Stores reported more than five billion dollars in sales of textbooks
    and course materials.
        The association spokesman Charles Schmidt says electronic textbooks now just make up
    2%～3% of sales. But he says that is expected to reach 10%～15% by 2012.
          Online versions(版本) are now available for many of the most popular college textbooks. An
    etextbook can cost half the price of a new print textbook.But students usually lose access to them
    after the end of the term.And the books cannot be placed on more than one device(设备), so they
    are not easy to share.
         So what do students think of etextbooks?Administrators at Northwest Missouri State University
    wanted to find it out.Earlier this year they tested them with 500 students in 20 classes.
        The university is unusual.It provides laptop computers for all 7,000 of its fulltime students.It does
    not require students to buy their textbooks either.They rent them to save money.The school aims to
    save even more by moving to etextbooks.
         The students in the survey reported that downloading the books from the Internet was easy.They
    liked the idea of carrying lighter backpacks.And 56% said they were better able to find information.
         But most found that using etextbooks did not change their study habits.And 60% felt they read
    more when they were reading on paper.In all, almost half the students said they still liked physical
    textbooks better.
         But the survey found that cost could be a big influence.55% said they would choose etextbooks
    if using them meant their textbook rental fee would not increase.
         Roger Von Holzen heads the Center for Information Technology in Education at Northwest
    Missouri State University.He tells us that administrators are disappointed with the etextbooks now
    available because the majority are not interactive(交互式的).
         He thinks growth will come when more digital books include video, activities, games and other
    ways to interact with the information.The technology is improving.But for now, most of the books
    are just words on a screen.

    1. Etextbooks are not better than paper books in that________.

    A. they cost more money              
    B. they're difficult to carry
    C. they're not convenient to share        
    D. they can't be downloaded from the Internet

    2. How many surveyed students think paper books make better reading?

    A. 60%.
    B. 56%.
    C. 55%.
    D. 50%.

    3. It can be inferred from the text that in the future________.

    A. digital books will be more popular      
    B. the digital books available need improvement
    C. free digital books are available online      
    D. digital books will replace print textbooks
