　　Our world is full of signs and symbols．Most of the time we don't really need to think about them．Good examples of these “invisible” symbols are the ones used for “Play”, “Fast Forward”, and “Rewind”．We find them on everything from old tape players to DVD players, remote controls, and computer keyboards．They are so familiar that we don't really need to pay attention to them anymore．We certainly never think about who first designed them, or when．

　　A more recent, but increasingly familiar kind of symbol is the “emoticon”, sometimes called the “smiley”．You might not be familiar with the names, but you’ve certainly seen them many times．Here, for example, is the emoticon for happy：：-)This is the one for sad：：-(“Emoticon” is a combination of two words, “emotion” and “icon”．An icon was originally a religious picture but has now more commonly come to mean a symbol used on the computer．Emoticons are used to show feelings that are often difficult to express when writing an email or sending a text message．

　　Modern emoticons are thought to have been invented by a computer scientist called Scott Fahlman in 1982．He got so tired of people thinking that he was serious when he was joking that he suggested marking all jokes like this：：-)．The idea took off　rapidly and, as the Internet became more popular, so did emoticons．The original two or three have now become hundreds, collected in “dictionaries” or on websites．And, although most emoticons still try to imitate an expression of the human face, some, like/o(a man scratching head, meaning confusion), or o/(a man waving goodbye), show an action．

1．Why does the author refer to the symbols on DVD players as “ invisible”?(No more than 16 words)

3．What made Scott Fahlman invent the first emoticon?(No more than 10 words)

　　When a consumer finds that something he or she bought is faulty or in some other way does not live up to what the producer says for it, the first step is to present the warranty(保单), or any other records that might help, at the store of buying．In most cases, this action will produce results．However, if it does not, there are various means the consumer may use to gain satisfaction．

　　A simple and common method used by many consumers is to complain directly to the store manager．In general, the “higher up” the consumer takes his or her complaint, the faster he or she can expect it to be settled．In such a case, it is usually settled in the consumer's favor, taking it as true that he or she has a just right．

　　Consumers should complain in person whenever possible, but if they cannot get to the place of buying, it is acceptable to phone or write the complaint in a letter．

　　Complaining is usually most effective when it is done politely but firmly, and especially when the consumer can show clearly what is wrong with what was bought in question．If this can't be done, the consumer will succeed best by presenting specific information as to what is wrong, rather than by making general statements．For example, “The left speaker doesn't work at all and the sound coming out of the right one is unclear” is better than “This tape recorder does not work．”

　　The store manager may advise the consumer to write to the producer, if so, the consumer should do this, stating the complaint as politely and as firmly as possible．But if a polite complaint does not achieve the expected result, the consumer can take a step further．He can threaten to take the seller to court or report the seller to a public organization responsible for protecting consumers’ rights．

　　For a clearer picture of what the student knows, most teachers use another kind of examination in addition, to objective tests．They use “essay(writing)'' tests, which require students to write long answers to broad, general questions such as the following,　“mention several ways in which Mahatma Gandhi has affected the thinking of people in his own country and in other parts of the world．”

　　One advantage of the essay test is that it reduces the element of luck．The student cannot get a high score just by making a lucky guess．Another advantage is that it shows the examiner more about the student's ability to put facts together into what he has thought about the subject．Sometimes, essay tests have disadvantages, too．Some students are able to write rather good answers without really knowing much about the subject, while other students who actually know the material have trouble expressing their ideas in essay form．

　　Besides, on an essay test the student's score may depend upon the examiner's feelings at the time reading the answer．, If he is feeling tired, or bored, the student may receive a lower score than．he should．Another examiner reading the same answer might give it a much higher mark．From this viewpoint, the objective test gives each student a fairer chance, and naturally it is easier and quicker to score．

　　Whether an objective test or an essay test is used, problems arise．When some objective questions are used along with some essay questions, however, a fairly clear picture of the student's knowledge can usually be gained．

1．On an essay test, how do the examiner's feelings influence the student's score?

(No more than 20words)

2．Please explain the underlined phrases in English．(No more than 10 words)

3．According to the passage, what position does the author take?(No more than 10 words)

A man had a little daughter－an only and much-loved child．The girl was very lovely and beautiful．Every day the girl would sing and dance for him．They lived together happily．He was very proud of her．Whenever talking about his daughter, he always thought he was the happiest father in the world．He lived for her－she was his life．So when one day she became seriously ill, he became like a crazy man, moving heaven and earth to bring about her restoration to health．

His best efforts, however, proved unavailing and the child died．He felt his own life was gone with his little daughter．The father became a bitter recluse(隐居者), shutting himself away from his many friends and refusing every activity that might restore his confidence and bring him back to his normal self．But one night he had a dream．

He was in heaven, witnessing a grand pageant of all the little child angels．They were marching in a line passing by the Great White Throne．Every white-robed angelic child carried a candle．He noticed that one child's candle was not lighted．Then he saw that the child with the dark candle was his own little girl．Rushing to her, he seized her in his arms, kissed her tenderly, and then asked, "How is it, darling, that your candle alone is unlighted?" "Daddy, they often relight it, but your tears always put it out．"

Just then he awoke from his dream．The lesson was crystal clear, and its effects were immediate．From that hour on he was not a recluse, but communicated freely and cheerfully with his former friends and associates．No longer would his darling's candle be extinguished by his useless tears．

1．How did the father feel when his daughter died?

(No more than 9 words)

2．What did the father do after his daughter died?

(No more than 12 words)

　　The world would have been so much better if we all knew to say and do the right thing at the right time．However , that is not the case, especially when it comes to instilling (逐步培养) proper behavior in kids．Behavior modification(BM) techniques were recently created to help in instilling proper behavior in children as well as adults．

　　Behavior modification refers to establishing appropriate behaviors in individuals and discouraging those that are not desirable．The techniques are used in behavior modification therapy that aims to correct and instill appropriate behavior in children．

　　The most commonly used behavior modification techniques are positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement and punishment．Positive reinforcement refers to reinforcing a desired behavior through the process of rewarding it．Negative reinforcement behavioral strategies are based on the removal of a negative consequence or a behavior because the desired behavior was performed．Punishment refers to subjecting(使服从于) an individual to a negative condition because of an inappropriate behavior．

　　The behavior modification techniques for children are mostly based on positive and negative reinforcement．However, parents should realize that these techniques can't be relied upon totally for child behavior modification．This can be done through effective communication and greater focus on the parent-child relationship．As a parent, don't make the reward a monetary one．Try to make it look more like a privilege than a reward．

　　Although we talk so much about the role of a parent in bringing positive behavior modification in children, both parents and teachers have equally important roles to play．Teachers play their role through preventive classroom management, teaching social problem-solving skills like alternative thinking , and continuous monitoring of a child's behavior．It is true that there are various behavior modification techniques available for encouraging proper behavior in children．However, there is nothing that can take the place of proper parenting and an affectionate environment．

I．Introduce to BM

●Definition of BM：Establishing appropriate behaviors and ________

●Purpose of BM techniques：To correct and ________ in children as well as adults．

II．Common BM techniques

●________：Reinforcing a desired behavior by ________

●Negative reinforcement：________ a negative consequence or a behavior

III．BM techniques for children

For parents：

●Communicating effectively with children

●________ a privilege

●Sticking to the same technique

For teachers：

●Preventing problems happening in classroom

●Teaching ________ social problem

●Monitoring children's behaviors continuously

　　[1] Do Americans have any morals? That's a good question．Many people insist that ideas about right and wrong are merely personal opinions．Some voices, though, are calling Americans back to traditional moral values．William J．Bennett, former U．S Secretary of Education, edited The Book of Virtues in 1993 to do just that．Bennett suggests that great moral stories can build character．The success of Bennett's book shows that many Americans still believe in moral values．But what are they?

　　[2]One of the most basic moral values for Americans is honesty．The well-known legend about George Washington and the cherry tree teaches this value clearly．Little George cut down his father's favorite cherry tree while trying out his new hatchet．When his father asked him about it, George said, “I cannot tell a lie．I did it with my hatchet．”Instead of punishment．George received praise for ________．Sometimes American honesty-being open and direct-can offend people．But Americans still believe that“honesty is the best policy．”

　　[3]Another virtue Americans respect is perseverance．Remember Aesop's fable about the turtle and the rabbit that had a race? The rabbit thought he could win easily, so he took a nap．But the turtle finally won because he did not give up．

　　[4]In no way can this brief description cover all the moral values honored by Americans．Courage, responsibility, loyalty, gratitude and many others could be discussed．In fact, Bennett's bestseller-over 800 pages-highlights just ten virtues．Even Bennett admits that he has only scratched the surface．But no matter how long or short the list, moral values, are invaluable．They are the foundation of American culture and any culture．
