Something Fun
A person is on trial for murder in a court room in Oklahoma. There is strong evidence indicating guilt. However, the body is not found.
In the defense's(辩护）closing statement, the lawyer, knowing that his client is guilty and that it looks like he'll probably be convicted, resorted to a clever trick.
"Ladies and gentlemen of the jury(陪审团), I have a surprise for you all," the lawyer says as he looks at his watch." Within one minute, the person assumed dead in this case will walk into this court room," he says and he looks towards the court-room door. The jury, somewhat surprised, looks at the door eagerly. A minute passes. Nothing happens.
Finally the lawyer says," Actually, I made up the previous statement. But you all waited with expectation. I, therefore, put it to you that there is a reasonable doubt in this case as to whether anyone was killed and insist that you return a verdict(裁决）of no guilty.
The jury, clearly confused, retires to discuss.
A very few minutes later, the jury returned and a representative pronouns a verdict of guilty.
“But how?” inquires the lawyer. “You must have had some doubt; I saw all of you stare at the door.”

2.Why did the lawyer come up with the trick?

B. They expected his family to come in.
C. They were surprised and taken in by the lawyer.
D. They thought the person on trial was escaping.

It’s not unusual for us to be together with our relatives on the weekends. But you know that holidays can be the chances for families to get together. Also, it may be a time to break your relationship because of some improper conversations. Now, Deborah Tannen, a Georgetown University professor, offers suggestions to improve communication at the holiday table. Let’s take a look.
A round dinning table is best for promoting a lively conversation because everyone faces one another. So, avoid seating grandparents at the ends of a rectangular(长方形的）table, even though it is the traditional place of honor. The old may feel lonely there because they will be unable to hear or keep up with a conversation. So do female family members because they prefer to face each other when they talk. However, Men might look around at other things. “Guys may be more relaxed looking at the TV or other interesting things.” says Tannen.
When talking, you should notice the people who are not involved in it. If you feel you are doing all the talk, wait to give others a chance to start. If you feel you can’t get a chance to speak, try to make yourself to start talking.
Besides, Some families find that gatherings will go better if they take part in an outdoor activity. Going to a park for a walk may be more enjoyable than sitting around talking.
1.According to the passages, seating the old at the ends of a rectangular table _______.
A. might stop them from talking
B. may make them feel uncomfortable
C. is a good way to show them honor
D. allows them to follow a conversation
2.Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?
A. Men like to make more eye contact than women.
B. Women prefer outdoor activities over sitting around talking.
C. Men may be more relaxed while watching TV.
D. Women always want to doing all the talk.
3.The main purpose of the text is to _______.
A. introduce Deborah Tannen
B. give us some advice on how to spend holidays
C. suggest how we can talk and act properly when families are getting together
D. look at the person and listen to him when you are talking with others

The tradition of birthday parties started a long time ago. People thought that there was a special danger from evil (邪恶的) spirits, so friends and family came together to bring good thoughts and wishes and even presents. 1. But as time went by, children and then adults began to have their own birthday celebrations. There are some traditions — such as sending birthday cards, blowing out the candles on a birthday cake and singing the “Happy Birthday” song, which you can find almost anywhere, any time. 2.
In many English-speaking countries, a twenty-first birthday cake often has a key on top. 3. The key means that the young person is now old enough to leave and enter the family home at any time they want to!
