There is a fine line between a parent who is active and open-minded and one that doesn’t know when to let go (放手). As my daughter, Nicole, prepares to leave home for college, I’m discovering how hard it is to stay on the  36  side of this line. When I hold   37  the apron strings (围裙带) connecting us, Nicole, eager to  38  independence, tries to loosen my grasp. What results is a (an) 39  mother-daughter, push-me, pull-you kind of tango.
For the past two years, it’s gone like this:
My question: “Have you thought of taking an advanced placement class (高阶课程) so that you can earn college credit?”
Nicole’s 40 : “No, I’m not interested in that.”   ………
Two months ago, she was   41  to a great university. However, I was still the mother having a   42  time letting go. The night before the introductory meeting of the university, I had read the course catalog carefully and   43  courses which I thought looked good. We met on the campus the next afternoon, and Nicole’s face  44  with excitement. “I have had my entire schedule figured out,” she said. “Already?” I was astonished, 45  she should have discussed it with me. I examined the schedule. Nicole hadn’t taken a (an) 46  one of the courses I had suggested. Every course she had chosen  47  suited her interests. Just then I saw a mature, capable young woman with a  48  mind and the ability to shape her future. She no longer needed her mother’s  49  every decision she made. I felt proud, though still a bit          50 .
I   51  the lessons carefully. Nicole has struggled to learn over the past 18 years: 52 , sympathy, and hard work. There have been a few holes along the way. 53 , she is well-equipped and eager to  54  the future. The next step, I recognized, was mine to take: giving my daughter and myself the  55  we both needed.

What image does the word “Britain” conjure up（令人想到）in your mind? Big Ben，the frequently changing weather, fish and chips… But have you ever wondered what British people think means “Britain”?
English playwright William Shakespeare and pop group The Beatles are the icons which inspire a sense of national pride in British people, according to a recent survey.
More than 2,000 people were asked what aspect of Britain made them feel most proud. Shakespeare topped the list, followed by the National Trust, a charity which protects places of historical or environmental interest. These beat the British currency, the pound, and the BBC.
Surprisingly, the royal family only made it to seventh on the list. “The royal family, while popular, does not inspire widespread pride,” said a spokesman for Demos, the think tank(智囊团) which carried out the research. “However, it is certainly the case that — through their unique capacity to hold and lead national events — the royal family has a central role to play in developing pride.”
Terence Blacker, a reporter for The Independent, believes the study shows the nature of new patriotism（爱国主义）． “It turns out that modern British patriotism is not really about nationhood at all,” he wrote.
According to the poll, the most impressive symbols of national pride concerned private conduct and character. Volunteering topped the list, followed by politeness and patience.
小题1: According to the passage, the following statements are British most outstanding symbols except .

A．patriotism.

B．the Beatles.

C．politeness.

D．Shakespeare.

小题2:Which of the following is close to the right order of the top symbols of Britain?

A．a ,b, c, d

B．a, d, c, b

C．c, a, b, d

D．a, c, b, d

小题3:The royal family does not top the list because .

A．the royal family has a central role to play in developing pride

B．the royal family owns a lot of wealth.

C．the royal family does not attract the public attention.

D．the royal family does not influence the public as much as it used to.

小题4:It can be inferred that can make Chinese feel most proud.

A．volunteering.

B．education.

C．Luxun.

D．Population.

Life in 2060
Let us suppose it is now about A.D. 2060. Let’s make believe(假设；虚构) it is about sixty years from now. Of course, things have changed and life is very different.
Voyages to the moon are being made every day. It is as easy to take a holiday on the moon today as it was for the people in 1960 to take a holiday in Europe. At a number of scenic spots on the moon, many hotels have been built. The hotels are air-conditioned, naturally. In order that everyone can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the moon, every room has at least one picture window. Everything imaginable is provided for entertainment(娱乐) of young and old.
What are people eating now? People are still eating food. They haven’t yet started to take on heir(继承) supply of energy directly as electrical current or as nuclear power. They may some day. But many foods now come in pill form, and the food that goes into the pill continues to come mainly from green plants.
Since there are several times as many people in the world today as there were a hundred years ago, most of our planet’s surface has to be filled. The deserts are irrigated with water and crops are no longer destroyed by pests. The harvest is always good.
Farming, of course, is very highly developed. Very few people have to work on the farm. It is possible to run the farm by just pushing a few buttons now and then.
People are now largely vegetarians(素食者). You see, as the number of people increases, the number of animals decreases. Therefore, the people have to be vegetarians and we are healthier both in our bodies and in our minds, and we know the causes and cure of disease and pain, and it is possible to get rid of diseases. No one has to be ill any more.
Such would be our life in 2060.
小题1:According to the passage, what will be on the moon in about A.D. 2060?
A. Many tourists. B. Many other animals. C. Many plants. D. A sea.
小题2:What will people eat then according to the passage?

A．Biscuits in pill form.	B．Foods in gas form.
C．Foods in water form.	D．Foods in pill form.

小题3:Why are people largely vegetarians in 2060?

A．Because they don’t eat meat .

B．Because doctors advise them not to eat meat.

C．Because the number of animals decreases.

D．Because all the animals have died of diseases.

Exited about landing your first job after graduation? Good, work hard and get learning. Don’t forget to listen to young professional’s advice about the “real world” you’re stepping into.
1. Keep up with current events.
In school, it’s easy to live in a cocoon, where you focus on studies and social life. But in the working world, not knowing who Alan Greenspan is or why North Korea is in the news so often can lead to potentially embarrassing conversations.
2. Consider living with parents, even if you have a job.
Think it over before you rule it out. Not only can you save a lot of money by living at home, but your parents may provide emotional support that you may need. They can help pave the way for you to move once you are settled into your new life.
3. Don’t compare yourself to other people your age.
Young adults are good at putting up impressive appearance, but you don’t really know what their lives are like. Those who seem to have the perfect job may spend part of the day making coffee and picking up boss’s dry-cleaning.
4. Pay attention to small jobs as well as big ones.
Don’t stress if, in your first job or internship(实习期), you get a lot more face time with the copy machine than with clients. You may wonder why you spent so much time studying in school only to do such tasks. But you may also be learning more about your new professional than you realize.
5. Know when it’s time to move on.
Give a new job a chance, perhaps a year, before you make up your mind to leave, especially if it’s your first job out of school. When you’re sure that the job isn’t for you, figure out what you want to do and how to do it. Zhang Yue, 26, spent three years working as an accountant in Shanghai before becoming a financial planner. He loves his new job and spent 10 months searching for it: “To find something you really want to do takes time.”
小题1: By mentioning Alan Greenspan, the author wants to show ____.

A．how he succeeded

B．why he is important to the world nowadays

C．it is necessary to know key figures

D．he has a strong effect on the world

小题2:Which of the following is TRUE?

A．Comparing yourself to other people your age will make you harmed.

B．If you don’t have impressive appearance, you can’t pick up boss’ dry-cleaning.

C．What you have learned in school may come to nothing in your first job.

D．Even a small job can do good.

小题3: The last sentence means “____”.

A．It’s easy to find a new job once you have experience

B．If you hope to do something, you need suffer too much

C．You needn’t be worried, even though you are trying to find a good job

D．It will take you time to find a job that suits you well

小题4:The aim to write the passage is to ____.

B．give some advice about how to behave when you work

C．encourage people to ask for help from parents

D．expect people to fit in with the working conditions as soon as possibl

Open Letter to an Editor
I had an interesting conversation with a reporter recently --- one who works for you. In fact, he’s one of your best reporters. He wants to leave.
Your reporter gave me a copy of his resume(简历) and photocopies of six stories that he wrote for you. The headlines showed you played them proudly. With great enthusiasm, he talked about how he finds issues(问题), approaches them, and writes about them, which tells me he is one of your best. I’m sure you would hate to lose him. Surprisingly, your reporter is not unhappy. In fact, he told me he really likes his job. He has a great assignment (分工), and said you run a great paper. It would be easy for you to keep him, he said. He knows that the paper values him. He appreciates the responsibility you’ve given him, takes ownership of his profession, and enjoys his freedom.
So why is he looking for a way out?
He talked to me because he wants his editors to demand so much more of him. He wants to be pushed, challenged, coached to new heights.
The reporter believes that good stories spring from good questions, but his editors usually ask how long the story will be, when it will be in, where it can play, and what the budget is.
He longs for conversations with an editor who will help him turn his good ideas into great ones. He wants someone to get excited about what he’s doing and to help him turn his story idea upside down and inside out, exploring the best ways to report it. He wants to be more valuable for your paper. That’s what you want for him, too, isn’t it?
So your reporter has set me thinking.
Our best hope in keeping our best reporters, copy editors, photographers, artists --- everyone --- is to work harder to make sure they get the help they are demanding to reach their potential. If we can’t do it, they’ll find someone who can.
小题1:What does the writer think of the reporter?

A．Optimistic.

B．Imaginative.

C．Ambitious.

D．Proud.

小题2:What does the reporter want most from his editors in their talks?

A．Finding the news value of his stories.	B．Giving him financial support.
C．Helping him to find issues.	D．Improving his good ideas.

小题3:Who probably wrote the letter?

A．An editor.

B．An artist.

C．A reporter.

D．A reader.

小题4:The letter aims to remind editors that they should ______.

A．keep their best reporters at all costs

B．give more freedom to their reporters

“Everybody loves a bargain.” One person's useless, ugly, or broken object can be another person's bargain. That is why so many Americans do not throw things away. They put them outside their houses. They put on a “For Sale” sign. And, as simple as that, they have a yard sale.
The sellers put a paid announcement(付费通告)in a local newspaper. It tells when and where the yard sale will take place. These sales are very popular during weekends in spring, summer, and autumn. Early in the morning, all the things to be sold are carried out of the house. Then they sit all day in the sunlight----like tired guests at a party----waiting for someone to take them home.
Just about anything can be sold at a yard sale. Sometimes, there are more clothes than anything else. Cooking equipment is also popular. So are old toys, tools, books, tables and chairs. Then there are objects called “white elephants”. A white elephant is something you think is extremely ugly or useless. It may be an electric light shaped like a fish. You feel a sharp pa

in whenever you look at it. To someone else, however, it might be a thing of beauty and joy.
Some people go to yard sales to find a special thing that they collect. It may be old toy trains, for example, or painting of dogs. Experts say more Americans are collecting old things now than ever before. Most people who go to yard sales, however, are not looking for anything special. They might buy an object simply because it costs so little. They enjoy negotiating(谈判) over prices, even if they really do not need the object. Later, they may hold their own yard to sell all the things they have bought.
小题1:What kind of things will go to a yard sale?

A．Cheap and ugly things.	B．Things people no longer use.
C．Things out of season.	D．Things of great value.

小题2:A white elephant refers to _________.

A．something that can cause a feeling of pain

B．something disliked by the owners while appreciated by others

C．something sold at the lowest prices

D．a toy shaped like a fish

小题3:Most people go to yard sales to________.

A．find valuable paintings	B．look for something special
C．find a bargain	D．kill their time

小题4:Which of the following is NOT true about a yard sale?

A．It may not be held when the weather is very cold.

B．It can last for a whole day.

C．It is usually held with a party.

D．It is held outdoors.

小题5:We can infer from the last paragraph that__________.

A．people may find something of great value on a yard sale

B．yard sales only attract those who have

a low income

C．things on a yard sale can cost people a lot

D．most people don’t want to go to yard sales.

The government-run command post in Tunis is staffed around the clock by military personnel, meteorologists and civilians. On the wall are maps, crisscrossed with brightly colors arrows that painstakingly track the fearsome path of the enemy.
　　What kind of invader gives rise to such high-level monitoring? Not man, not beast, but the lowly desert locust(蝗虫). In recent months, billions of the 3-inch-long winged warriors have descended on Algeria, Libya, Morocco and Tunisia, blackening the

sky and eating up crops and vegetation. The insect invasion, the worst in 30 years, is already creating great destruction in the Middle East and is now treating southern Europe. The current crisis began in late 1985 near the Red Sea. Unusually rainy weather moistened the sands of the Sudan, making them ideal seedbed for the locust, which lays its eggs in the earth. The insect onslaught threatens to create yet another African famine. Each locust can eat its weight (not quite a tenth of an ounce) in vegetation every 24 hours. A good-size swarm of 50 billion insects eats up 100,000 tons of grass, trees and crops in a single night.
　　All ﹩150 million may be needed this year. The U.S. has provided two spraying planes and about 50,000 gal. of pesticide. The European Community has donated ﹩3.8 million in aid and the Soviet Union, Canada, Japan and China have provided chemical-spraying aircraft to help wipe out the pests. But relief efforts are hampered by the relative mildness of approved pesticides, which quickly lose their deadly punch and require frequent replications. The most effective locust killer dieldrin has been linked to cancer and is banned by many Western countries and some of the affected African nations. More than 5 million acres have been dusted with locust-killing chemicals; another 5 million will be treated by the end of June.
　　On May 30, representatives of Tunisia, Algeria, Libya, Morocco and Mauritania will meet in Algiers to discuss tactics to wipe out the ravenous swarms. The move is an important step, but whatever plan is devised, the locust plague promised to get worse before the insects can be brought under control.
小题1:The main idea of the first sentence in the passage is that ______.

A．the command post is stationed with people all the time.

B．the command post is crowded with people all the time.

C．there are clocks around the command post.

D．the clock in the command post is taken care of by the staff.

小题2: The favorable breeding ground for the locust is ______.

A．rich soil.	B．wet land
C．paces covered crops and vegetation	D．the Red Sea

小题3: People are alert at the threat of the locust because ______.

A．the insects are likely to create another African famine.

B．the insects may blacken the sky.

C．the number of the insects increases drastically.

D．the insects are gathering and moving in great speed.

小题4:Which of the following is true?

A．Once the pesticides are used, locust will die immediately.

B．Relief efforts are proved most fruitful due to the effectiveness of certain pesticides.

C．Dieldrin, the most effective locust killer, has been widely accepted in many countries.

D．Over 10 million acres of affected area will have been treated with locust-killing chemicals by the end of June.

小题5: The purpose for affected nations to meet in Algiers on May 30 is ______.

A．to devise anti-locust plans.

B．to wipe out the swarms in two years.

C．to call out for additional financial aid from other nations.

D．to bring the insects under control before th

e plague gets worse.
