【题目】Some people think that as more and more people have televisions in their homes, fewer and fewer people will buy books and newspapers. Why read an article in the newspaper when the TV news can bring you the information in a few minutes and with pictures? Why read the life story of a famous man when a short television program can tell you all that you want to know?
Television has not killed reading, however. Today, newspapers sell in very large numbers. And books of every kind are sold more than ever before. Books are still a cheap way to get information and enjoyment. Although some books with hard covers are expensive, many books are printed today as paperbacks (平装本), which are quite cheap. A paperback collection of short stories, for example, is always cheaper than an evening at the cinema or the theater, and you can keep a book for ever and read it many times.
Books are a wonderful provider of knowledge and pleasure and some types of books should be in every home. Every home should have a good dictionary. A good encyclopedia (百科全书), though expensive, is useful, too, because you can find information on any subject. Besides, you can have such books as history books, science textbooks, cookbooks, and collections of stories and poems. Then from time to time you can take a book of poems off your shelves and read the thoughts and feelings of your favorite poets.
【1】It can be inferred from the passage that ______.
A. TV programs are a chief provider of knowledge
B. cinemas are the best choice in getting information
C. reading is a cheap way of learning and having fun
D. newspapers are an expensive way to enjoy oneself
【2】What does the underlined sentence in the second paragraph “Television has not killed reading, however.” suggest?
A. People only need reading, though.
B. Reading is more fun than television.
C. Reading is still necessary today.
D. Watching television doesn’t help reading.
【3】Where can you probably see this passage?
A. In a travel booklet.
B. In a science report.
C. In a fashion show magazine.
D. In an education book review.
【答案】
【1】C
【2】C
【3】D
【解析】
试题分析：本文讲述了虽然现在人们获取信息的方式有很多，但是报纸仍然广泛存在，是人们获得信息的重要途径，而且也不会消失。
【1】C推理判断题。根据文章第二段2,3行Books are still a cheap way to get information and enjoyment.说明报纸仍然是一种学习知识的有趣的方式，故C正确。
【2】C句义猜测题。根据文章第二段第一行 Television has not killed reading, however. Today, newspapers sell in very large numbers.说明现在的报纸仍然被大量出售，人们仍然喜欢阅读报纸来获得信息，故C正确。

Patience is greatly important in our daily life. Once, I waited for a bus come at a stop.30 minutes passed, but no bus came. Both upset and annoying , I decided to walk by foot.

Only then do I realize my problem. Being impatient will possible waste all the effort that we have put it in. Now, whenever I am close to losing my impatience, I will think of this experience.

【题目】Our quarrel with efficiency is not that it gets things done, but that it is a thief of time when it leaves us no leisure to enjoy ourselves, and that it strains our nerves when we try to get things done perfectly. In building bridges, American engineers calculate so finely and exactly as to make the two ends come together within one-tenth of an inch. But when two Chinese begin to dig a tunnel from both sides of a mountain both come out on the other side. --The Chinese’s firm belief is that it doesn’t matter so long as a tunnel is dug through, and if we have two instead of one, why, we have a double track to boot.
The pace of modern industrial life forbids this kind of glorious and magnificent idling. But, worse than that, it imposes upon us a different conception of time as measured by the clock and eventually turns the human being into a clock himself. (This sort of thing is bound to come to China, as is evident, for instance, in the case of a factory of twenty thousand worker. The luxurious prospect of twenty thousand workers coming in at their own sweet pleasure at all hours is, of course, somewhat terrifying.)Nevertheless, such efficiency is what makes life so hard and full of excitement. A man who has to be punctually at a certain place at five o’clock has the whole afternoon from one to five ruined for him already. Every American adult is arranging his time on the pattern of the schoolboy - three o’clock for this, five o’clock for that, six-thirty for change of dress, six-fifty for entering the taxi, and seven o’clock for arriving at the destination. It just makes life not worth living.
【1】The writer objects to efficiency mainly on the grounds that it ____.
A. entitles us to too much leisure time
B. deprives us of leisure time
C. urges us to get things done punctually
D. imposes on us a perfect concept of time
【2】 In the eyes of the author, the introduction of industrial life gives rise to ____.
A. more emphasis on efficiency
B. magnificent idling of time
C. the excitement of life
D. terrifying schoolboy
【3】The passage tells us ____.
A. Chinese workers come to work when it is convenient
B. Americans ought not to work so hard for efficiency
C. Chinese engineers are on better terms with the management
D. all Americans are forced to be efficient against their will
【4】What is implied but NOT stated by the author is that ____.
A. every American is arranging his time in the pattern of a schoolboy
B. every American is reluctant to be efficient
C. every one should have some time to spend as he pleases
D. being punctual is an undesirable habit which should not be formed

【题目】Some students prefer to learn by themselves. They think they can learn better in this way because they have more freedom, pressure and independence. There is some truth in their way.
【1】It is better to have a teacher, especially when they learn something more difficult.
First, a teacher can act as a guide to lead you to success. When you learn, you need help and advice. A teacher will give you a hand when you face difficulties.【2】
What is more, a teacher puts real pressure on you. If you study by yourself, you must be strong-minded enough to keep on.【3】But under the guidance of a teacher, you will feel there is always someone to watch you. The teacher may give you homework to do. You must complete the homework, or you will not pass the course.
Last but not least, studying with a teacher will help you receive the benefit of the teacher’s knowledge.【4】They teach students how to learn and how to obtain information. They guide all of you in class to discuss the material and provide extra material to broaden the scope of the topic.
【5】I choose to learn in a big family---my school. Without a teacher, I would feel there would be no fun and no pressure. I could not learn well in such dull and depressing circumstances.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I’m one of your customer, I ordered a set of books on your website two weeks ago, but I didn’t received it until yesterday. And much to my disappointment, the books were too poorly packed up that the cover of one book were torn. To make matters worse, it is not a complete set, as I found one book missed.
I’m sorry to have received such poorly service, and I believe I have every right ask you to deal with this problem. I hope you either return my money back or deliver a new set of books to me. Beside, I’d like to be informed of the process of your deal with my complaint.
I’m looking forward to your reply.
