         Every object tells a story. Even the most ordinary objects can present to us powerful images.
    Sometimes it is the ordinary nature of these objects that actually makes them so extraordinary.
    Such is the case with an old leather shoe in a museum in Alaska. At first glance it does not look like
    much. It is a woman's shoe of a style popular in the 1890s. But what is unique(独特的) about this
    shoe is where it was found. It was discovered on the Checkout Pass, the famous trail used by the
    people seeking gold in Alaska. Who it belonged to or why it was left there is not known. Was it
    perhaps dropped by accident as the woman climbed up the 1500 stairs carved outface? Or did she
    throw away goods that she didn't need in order to travel lighter?
         Over 100, 000 people with "gold fever" made this trip hoping to become millionaires. Few of
    them understood that on their way they would have to cross a harsh wildness. Unprepared for such
    a dangerous journey, many died of starvation and exposure to the cold weather.
         The Canadian government finally started requiring the gold seekers to bring one ton of supplies
    with them. This was thought to be enough for a person to survive for one year. They would carry
    their supplies in backpacks(背包) each weighing up to fifty pounds; it usually took at least 40 trips
    to get everything to the top and over the pass. Whoever dropped the shoe must have been a brave
    and determined woman. Perhaps she was successful and made it to Alaska. Perhaps she had to turn
    back in defeat. No one will ever know for sure, but what we do know is that she took part in one of
    the greatest adventures in the 19th century.

    1. Which of the following is right?

    A. it was found on a famous trail          
    B. it was an important clue to life in the past
    C. it at one time belonged to a VIP
    D. it was a fashionable shoe at that time

    A. eventually became millionaires
    B. were not properly equipped
    C. were very poor                 
    D. brought with them many shoes

    3. The Canadian government made gold seekers bring one year's supplies with them so that ___.

    A. they would not die of hunger and cold
    B. the army would have enough food for fighting a war
    C. they would change these goods with the Eskimos
    D. the supplies would make Alaska rich

    4. No matter what happened to the woman who owned the shoe, _______. 
     
    A. she must have been a brave woman.    
    B. she certainly dropped the shoe on purpose
    C. her adventurous spirit is definitely admired  
    D. her other shoes were equally fashionable
     
    5. what's the best title of the passage?

    A. special shoe whose ower is a woman.      
    B. the sad story about the shoe.
    C. the old shoe that has a special. story.

    Nelson Mandela

    　　Nelson Mandela is one of the great political leaders of our time．His lifelong efforts to the fight against racial(种族)oppression(压迫)in his country won him the admiration(钦慕)of millions worldwide, as well as the 1993 Nobel Peace Prize．As the leader of South Africa’s anti-partheid(反种族隔离)movement, Mandela was a key player in helping to move his country toward multiracial government(多民族政府)and majority rule．

    　　Mandela’s long, hard struggle is a victory of dignity(尊严)and hope．He’s a man of true courage．If determination and patience were considered talents, Mandela would win hands down in any sort of competition．

    　　accomplishments(成就)& fame(名誉)

    　　Nelson Mandela’s greatest accomplishments were his role in ending apartheid, and becoming South Africa’s first elected black president．He has been the recipient(收件人)of dozens upon dozens of awards, prizes and honors from countless associations and organizations, but perhaps none more prestigious(声望很高)than the Nobel Peace Prize, which he shared with former South African President Frederik W．de Klerk, in 1993．

    　　He has been awarded several other major peace prizes, such as the UNESCO(United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization)Peace Prize in 1991(also shared with F．W．de Klerk); the Africa Peace Award in 1995 and the International Gandhi Peace Prize in 2002．

    　　Model

    　　There’s something admirable about having been a leader fighting for a people’s freedom and equality in an unjust society．Mandela has become a worldwide symbol(楷模)of the struggle of the oppressed(被压迫者)over the oppressor．He has been celebrated in song by artists the world over, in many different languages．One entitled “Nelson Mandela”was recorded by British 2-Tone group The Special A．K．A(formerly The Specials); making the top 10 in the UK and a few other European nations in 1984．

    　　Personal style

    　　As a president, Mandela sported the typical garb(服饰)of high-ranking government officials： expensive, well-tailored(缝制精致的)suits．Now retired(退役)from public life, Mandela the elder statesman dresses in an ordinary way．

    　　He attends many activities, often where he is the guest of honor, in bright, colorfully patterned(典型的)traditional African robes(长袍)or shirts all the better for getting down when the music begins．

         Ever since he first started practicing, Berkeley, California, psychologist Allen D. Kanner,
    PhD, has been asking his younger clients (顾客) what they wanted to do when they grew
    up. The answer usedtobe" nurse" , " astronaut" orsomeotheroccupation that appealed to
    them. Today the answer is more likely to be "make money". For Kanner, one explanation
    for that change can be found in advertising.
         "Advertising is a multi-million dollar project that's having an enormous influence on
    child development, " says Kanner, who is also a member at a clinical (临床的) psychology
    training program called the Wright Institute. "Advertising is growing rapidly and entering
    new areas of childhood, like our schools. "
         According to Kanner, the result is not only the spread of materialistic(物质第一的 )
    values among children, but also something he calls " self-love wounding" of children."
    Thanks to advertising, " he says, " children have become convinced that they're unfortunate
    if they don't have an endless supply of new products. "
         Now Kanner and several colleagues are up-in-arms with the psychologists and others
    who are using psychological knowledge to help marketers target children more effectively.
    They're shocked when they are told the secret behind why 3 to 7-year-olds are attracted
    to toys that transform themselves into something else and why 8 to 12-year-olds love to
    collect things. Last fall, Kanner and a group of 59 other psychologists and psychiatrists
    (精神病学家) sent a letter speaking against psychologists' employment by advertisers
    to American Psychologcal Association( APA) .
         In response, at its June meeting, APA's Board of Directors acted on a recommendation
    from the Board for the Advancement of Psychology in the Public Interest and approved
    the creation of a task force to study the issue. The task force will examine the research
    on advertising's influence on children and their families. The group will look at the role
    psychologists play in what some consider the exploitation (利用) of children and consider
    how psychology can help reduce advertising's harmful effects and increase its positive
    effects. The group will also explore implications(含意)for public policy.
    1. Which of the following is a reason why children today tend to say they want to make
    money when they grow up, according to Allen D. Kanner?______
    A. Traditional occupations no longer hold so much
    appeal to children today.
    B. It's children's characteristic to collect things and to
    want more constantly.
    C. Advertising is a multi-million dollar project that
    many children want as future job.
    D. Advertisers' targeting of young consumers has made
    them more materialistic.
    2. Which of the following shows the negative effect advertising has had on children?______
    A. Many children have hobbies like collecting stamps, coms or other things.
    B. Many children are hard to satisfy and constantly want and ask for more.
    C. Many children are so self-centered that they don't care about others.
    D. Many children tend to wound others to please themselves.
    3. Theunderlinedwords" up-in-arms " probablymean________.
    A. angryB. interestedC. happyD. surprised
    4. We can learn from the last paragraph that _________ .
    A. American Psychological Association didn't take Allen D. Kanner and others' letter seriously
    B. the task force will study how to use psychology to make advertising more beneficial
    C. measures have been taken on the psychologists Allen D. Kanner spoken against
    D. public policy has completely nothing to do with advertising

         Ever since Jerusha started her college, she began to write letters. Through a series of letters, from freshman to senior in college, she shared her life and study with an unknown gentleman, who never wrote back. Here is the very first letter.
    Dear Mr. Kind,    
         Here I am! I traveled yesterday for four hours in a train. It's a funny experience. I never rode in one
    before.    
         College is the biggest, most confusing place - I get lost whenever I leave my room. I will tell you more
    later when I'm feeling less puzzled. Now I want to write a letter first just to get me familiar to you.    
         It seems strange to be writing letters to somebody you don't know. It seems strange for me to be
    writing letters at all - I've never written more than three or four in my life, so please overlook it if they are
    not a model kind.    
         Before leaving yesterday morning, Mrs. Lippett and I had a very serious talk. She told me how to
    behave, especially towards the kind gentleman who is doing so much for me. I must take care to be very
    respectful.    
          I have been thinking of you a great deal this summer; having somebody take an interest in me after all
    these years makes me feel as though I had found a sort of family. It seems as though I belonged to
    somebody now, and it's a very comfortable feeling. I must say, however, that when I think about you, my
    imaqination has very little to work upon.         
         There are just three things that I know:    
         I .You are tall.    
         II .You are rich.     
         III. You hate girl.    
         I suppose I might call you Dear Mr. Girl-Hater. Only that's rather unpleasant to me. Or Dear Mr. Rich-Man, but that's unpleasant to you, as though money were the only important thing about you. Maybe you won't stay rich all your life; But at least you will stay tall all your life! So I decide to call you Dear
    Daddy-long-legs. I hope you won't mind. It's just a private pet name - we won't tell Mrs. Lippett. The
    ten o'clock bell is going to ring in two minutes. Our day is divided by bells. We eat and sleep and study by bells. There it goes! Lights out. Good night.     
         You can see how strictly I obey rules due to my training in the John Grier Home.
                                                                                                                       Yours most respectfully,
                                                                                                                              Jerusha Abbott
    1. Which of the following is NOT the reason for Jerusha to write the letter to Mr.Kind?                          
    A. To get her familiar to him.                                                                                  
    B. To present her thankfulness to him.                                                                          
    C. To share her brand-new college life with him.                                                                
    D. To apologize to him for not writing letters too often.                                                        
    2. If Mrs. Lippett learned that the writer calls the man she writes to Daddy-long-legs, she would
    probably_____.      
    A. burst into laughter                                                                                          
    B. think it acceptable                                                                                          
    C. criticize the writer                                                                                          
    D. inform the man                                                                                                
    3. By "when I think about you, my imagination has very little to work upon.", the writer intends to tell us
    that_____.
    A. the man she writes to is dull and boring                                                                      
    B. she is not familiar with the one she writes to                                                                
    C. it is not interesting at all to write to a stranger                                                          
    D. she lacks imagination when it comes to writing a letter                                                      
    4. Jerusha was probably _____while she worked on the letter.                                                
    A. curious                                                                                                      
    B. light-hearted                                                                                                
    C. serious
