    And there on a well­made bed sat Amy，my new roommate，dressed neatly.

    Dear Michelle:
    Why can't my daughter manage her life better? She is 17 and an honor student, but she seems to be wasting her life away with a boyfriend who is holding her back.
    He consumes every waking, minute of her precious time and smooth-talks her as well.
    His goal is to get her to agree to go to the college of his choice, not her choice, and because his grades are lower, his choice will be limited.
    I feel like I want to rescue her, but she pushes me away and shuts me out. She has only brought us pride and joy; and now this! Help!
    A worried mother

    When the time comes for her to apply for college, and she visit the ones that were specifically desigened for student the top of their grade, she will most likely break away from her boyfriend's influenee.
    It is rare for an honor student to change the path of their academic career for puppy love. That being said, them might be some adoldscent wisdom in her behavior after all.
    Perhaps she is choosing to worry you, her parents, for unconscious reasons. Being such a good girl and being a steady source of joy might have become a bit too much for her.
    Let your daughter have her own private moment of 11th grade rebellion. She deserves a break from perfection.

    If you are in a town in a western country, you'll often see people walking with their dogs. It is still true that a dog is the most useful animal in the world. But the reason why one keeps a dog has changed Once upon a time, a man met a dog and wanted it to help him in the fight against other animals, and he found that the dog listened to him and did what he told him to. Later people used dogs for the hunting other animals, and the dogs didn't eat what they got until their master agreed. So dogs were used for driving sheep and guarding chicks. But now the people in the towns and cities do not need dogs to fight other animals. Of course they keep them to frighten thieves, but the most important reason is that people feel lonely in the city. For a child, a dog is his best friend when he has no friends to play with. For a young wife, a dog is her child when she doesn’t have her own. For old people, a dog is also a child when their real children have grown up and left. Now people do not have to use a dog, but they keep it as a friend, just like a member of the family.

    What's your dream vacation? Watching wildlife in Kenya? Boating down the Amazon? Sunbathing in Malaysia? New chances are opening up all the time to explore the world. So we visit travel agents, compare packages and prices , and pay our money.
    We know what our vacation costs us. But do we know what it might cost someone else? It's true that many poorer countries now depend on tourism for foreign income. Unfortunately, though, tourism often harms the local people more than it helps them.
    It might cost their homes and lands. In Myanmar, 5,200 people were forced to leave their homes among the pagodas(佛塔)in Bagan so that tourists could visit the pagodas.
    Tourism might also cost the local people their livelihood and dignity. Local workers often find only menial(卑微的)jobs in the tourist industry. And most of the profits do not help the local economy. Instead, profits return to the tour operators in wealthier countries, When the Maasai people in Tanzania were driven from their lands, some moved to city slums. Others now make a little money selling souvenirs or posing for photos.
    Problems like these were observed more than 20 years ago. But now some non-government organizations, tour operators and local governments are working together to begin correcting them. Tourists, too, are putting on the pressure.     
    The result is responsible tourism, or “ethical tourism.” Ethical tourism has people at its heart. New international agreements and codes of conduct can help protect the people's lands, homes, economies and cultures. The beginnings are small, though, and the problems are complex.
    But take heart. The good news is that everyone, including us, can play a part to help the local people in the places we visit. Tour operators and companies can help by making sure that local people work in good conditions and earn reasonable wages.
    They can make it a point to use only locally owned hotel, restaurants and guide services. They can share profits fairly to help the local economy. And they can involve the local people in planning and managing tourism.
    What can tourists do? First, we can ask tour companies to provide information about the conditions of local citizens. We can then make our choices and tell them why. And while we're abroad, we can:
    Buy local foods and products, not imported ones.
    Pay a fair price for goods and services and not bargain for the cheapest price.
    Avoid flaunting wealth.
    Ask before taking photographs of people.
    They are not just part of the landscape!
    Let's enjoy our vacation and make sure others do, too.
    小题1: What is probably the best title for the article?
    A．Tourism Causes Bad Effects.B．Tourism Calls for Good Behavior.
    C．Vacations Bring a Lot of Fun.D．Vacations Cost More Than You Think
    小题2: Which of the following is not mentioned?
    A．Local people were well paid to leave their lands.
    B．Tourists may stay in hotels opened by local people.
    C．Local people are mainly provided with low-paying work.
    D．Tourists could bargain with local people for a reasonable price.
    小题3: The underlined phrase "take heart" means"      ".
    A．pay attentionB．take careC．cheer upD．calm down
    小题4: According to the passage, the writer thinks          .
    A．tourism is not a promising industry
    B．dream vacations should be spent abroad
    C．the problems caused by tourism are easy to settle
    D．tourists should respect local customs and culture

    　Have you ever wondered why you sometimes take an almost immediate liking to a person you have just met? We often get the first impression of a people based on the color of a person’s skin or the manner in which he or she dressed. Meaning is conveyed not only by words or verbal languages but also by nonverbal communication systems, such as body behaviors.
    Nonverbal communication is important because we use the actions of others to learn about their affective emotional states .Our emotions are reflected in our posture, face, and eyes—be it fear, joy, anger, or sadness—so we can express them without ever saying a word .For this reason, most of us rely heavily on what we learn through our eyes.
    Nonverbal communication is significant in human interaction because it is usually responsible for the first impressions. More importantly, those first messages usually influence the perception(感知) of everything else that follows. Even how we select friends and sexual partners is grounded in first impressions with nonverbal communication.
    Nonverbal communication is important because it is culture-related. It is based on different beliefs, religions, values and customs in different cultures. When, where, how, and to whom people display his or her specific nonverbal behaviors is greatly affected by culture and context. Culture determines what the appropriate nonverbal behavior is. For example, feelings of friendship exist everywhere but their expression varies. It may be appropriate in some countries for man to embrace each other and for women to hold hands; in other countries these displays of affection may be shocking. Each culture has its own specific interpretation on nonverbal communication. What is acceptable in one culture may be completely unacceptable in another. One culture may determine that snapping fingers to call a waiter is acceptable; another may consider this gesture rude.
    小题1: What is the best title of the passage ?
    A．Nonverbal communication and first impressionB．Nonverbal communication is culture-related
    C．Nonverbal and verbal communicationD．The importance of nonverbal communication
    小题2: We can know a person’s feeling through our eyes because_________.
    A．we can see a person’s feeling on his face
    B．a person’s emotions can be reflected through eyes
    C．a person’s feeling can be reflected through his body languages
    D．we can see a person’s feeling through his posture
    小题3: Which of the following statements is not True ?
    A．Meaning can be conveyed both by words and body language.
    B．We can use nonverbal communication to learn about a person’s emotional states.
    C．We often get the first impression by what a person says.
    D．The first impression can affect what we will do in the following.
    小题4:What can we conclude from the last paragraph ?
    A．we can use different ways to express friendship.
    B．each culture has its own specific interpretation on nonverbal communication.
    C．snapping fingers to call a waiter is acceptable.
    D．learning a country’s culture is very important.

    Thousands of years ago, birthdays were considered special days. On birthdays, the bad spirits were able to harm you and change your life. It was believed that the only way to solve the problem was to have your friends and family around you, so that good wishes and presents would keep the bad spirits away. Also, noisemakers were thought to be used at parties as a way of scaring away the evil spirits.
    The custom of lighting candles was created by people believing that the gods lived in the sky. By lighting candles and torches, they were sending a signal or prayer to the gods, so they could be answered. Blowing out the candles and making a wish were thought to be another way of sending a signal or a message.
    This is how the way we celebrate our birthdays came about. But different cultures celebrate in different ways.
    The birthday story in the Bible（圣经） that we know best is about the birth of the Christ in Bethlehem（地名：伯利恒）. For nearly 2000 years since that day, the Christian world has been honoring this birth. The day many Englishmen celebrate is, of course, Christmas. There are other references to birthday parties. King Pharaoh celebrated his birthday by making a feast for his court followers. That was over 4000 years ago. The story of King Herod tells that on his birthday he made a supper for his lords, high captains and other special friends in Galilee (地名：加利利).
    小题1: According to the passage, good wishes and presents given by one’s friends and family on his birthday can _____________________.
    A．cheer him upB．prove that he’s a popular person
    C．bring him a big fortuneD．push bad spirits away
    小题2: Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
    A．The custom of lighting candles originated with the gods.
    B．The gods celebrate their birthdays by lighting candles.
    C．People send messages to the gods by lighting or blowing out the candles.
    D．The gods will help people realize their dreams on their birthdays.
    小题3: The two ancient kings’ ways of celebrating their birthdays show__________________.
    A．how great the two kings were
    B．how different cultures celebrate in different ways
    C．the two kings’ excellent cooking skills
    D．that their court followers were awarded the special honors
    小题4: The passage is mainly about __________________.
    A．the functions of the noises made on birthdays.
    B．how to scare away the bad spirits on birthdays
    C．the origin of a famous day Christmas

    When someone says, “Well, I guess I'll have to go to face the music,” it doesn’t mean he is planning to go to a concert. It is something far less pleasant, like being called in your boss to explain why you did this and did that, and why you did not do this or that. Terrible music, indeed, but it has to be faced. At some time or another, every one of us has had to “face the music”, especially as children. We can remember father’s angry voice: “I want to talk to you!” And only because we did not obey him. What an unpleasant business it was!
    The phrase “face the music” is known to every American, old and young. It is at least one hundred years old. Where did the expression come from?
    The first explanation came from the American novelist James Fenimore Cooper. He said, in 1851, that expression was first used by actors while waiting in the wings (舞台的两侧) to go on stage. After they got their clue(暗示) to go on , they often said, “It’s time to go to face the music. ” And that is exactly what they did face the orchestra (乐队) which was just below the stage.
    An actor might be frightened or nervous as he moved on to the stage in front of the audience(观众) that might be friendly, or perhaps unfriendly, especially if he forgot his lines. But he had to go out. If he did not, there would be no play. So “face the music” came to mean: having to go through something, no matter how unpleasant the experience might be, because you knew you had no choice.
    小题1:The expression “face the music” means ______.
    A． plan to go to a concert
    B．get one’s clue to do something
    C．have to go through something far less pleasant
    D．disobey what one's father says
    小题2:The passage tells us that the expression was first used by _____.
    A．childrenB．novelistsC．actorsD．audience
    小题3:In the last paragraph the Chinese meaning of the word “line” is _______.
    A．老板B．同事C．角色D．台词
