Interview With God
I dreamed I had an interview with God. “So you would like to interview me?” God asked. “If you have the time,” I said. “My time is eternity.” God smiled, “what questions do you have in mind for me?” “What surprises you most about humankind?” God answered, “That they get bored with childhood; they rush to grow up, and then long to be children again. That they lose their health to make money... and then lose their money to restore their health. That by thinking anxiously about the future, they forget the present, such that they live in neither the present nor the future. That they live as if they will never die, and die as though they had never lived.” God’s hand took mine and we were silent for a while. And then I asked, “As a parent, what are some of life’s lessons you want your children to learn? To learn they cannot make anyone love them. All they can do is to let themselves be loved. To learn that it is not good ycy to compare themselves to others. To learn to forgive by practicing forgiveness. To learn that it only takes a few seconds to open profound wounds in those they love, and it can take many years to heal them. To learn that a rich person is not one who has the most, but is one who needs the least. To learn that there are people who love them dearly, but simply have not yet learned how to express or show their feelings. To learn that two people can look at the same thing and see it differently. To learn that it is not enough that they forgive one another, but they must also forgive themselves.” “Thank you for your time,” I said humbly. “Is there anything else you would like your children to know?” God smiled and said; “Just know that I am here always.”

A．God does exist in the world.
B．He who loves others is sure to be loved by others.

D．It is easier to lose a friend than to make a friend.
53．The author wrote the passage to _________.
A．invite people to believe in God
B．present people’s wrong attitudes to life and give advice on how to live happily
C．show what is important in life
D．give God’s opinions of humankind and lessons God wants us to learn

About 2 percent of American students are now taught at home. Educators are confused about how this growing practice should be regulated, and also wonder whether children who are not fully registered in school should get some public services. The issue shows how dim the line between public and private education can become, even when that private education is delivered at home.
Probably about half the parents who teach at home are religiously motivated and use lessons by mail (or Internet) from church schools. Perhaps an additional fourth have some doubts about public education, think schools are unsafe of the fact that their children have special need that regular schools don't meet. In some cases, parents open home-school to escape compulsory education; they do least teaching while having older children care for younger sisters or brothers or work in home businesses. Although .children often learn well at home weak regulations in most states mean that officials rarely challenge or monitor parents who say they are home-schooling. With growing frequency, however, public schools offer services to the home-schools. Districts may permit them to enroll part time for instance; educators fear that otherwise these children could later return full time with serious academic weaknesses, and in any case some districts wanting to qualify for state aid can benefit from part-timers filling empty seats.

Two years ago her
seventh child, Andrea, wanting to join regular athletic programs, enrolled at

60．According to Mrs. Brown, the purpose of teaching her children at home is .
A．looking after them by herself B．teaching them what they like
C．helping her to do housework D．teaching them more basics
61．It can be inferred from the passage that .
A．no measures can be taken to regulate the home: school education
B．most parents are not satisfied with public education
C．it is wiser for schools to accept enrollment part time
D．home-schools have no difference with public schools
A new computer treatment is being used to deal with obesity (肥胖) in children.
Connected to a small dining set, consisting of scales and a plate, a mini computer teaches children how to eat and reminds them when to stop.
“In very fat people, hunger signals from the stomach to the
brain stop functioning. But the new computer system teaches the children how to
receive these messages again,” says Dr. Julian Hamilton-Shield, the
The computer, called a Mandometer, records and stores the weight loss from the plate when children eat. As the food is leaving the plate, a curve (曲线) is produced on the computer screen suggesting whether the child is eating too quickly.
“Children with weight problems often eat too quickly. We want them to eat steadily and slowly and the system teaches them to slow down. It’s a bit like retraining, ” says Hamilton-Shield.
Obesity now represents
one of the major threats to the future health of children. About one in five
boys and one in four girls aged two to fifteen in
The Mandometer was developed in Sweden, but at present it is
experiencing further development at the University of Bristol, with ＄

Interview With God
I dreamed I had an interview with God. “So you would like to interview me?” God asked. “If you have the time,” I said. “My time is eternity.” God smiled, “what questions do you have in mind for me?” “What surprises you most about humankind?” God answered, “That they get bored with childhood; they rush to grow up, and then long to be children again. That they lose their health to make money... and then lose their money to restore their health. That by thinking anxiously about the future, they forget the present, such that they live in neither the present nor the future.

About 2 percent of American students are now taught at home. Educators are confused about how this growing practice should be regulated, and also wonder whether children who are not fully registered in school should get some public services. The issue shows how dim the line between public and private education can become, even when that private education is delivered at home.
Probably about half the parents who teach at home are religiously motivated and use lessons by mail (or Internet) from church schools. Perhaps an additional fourth have some doubts about public education, think schools are unsafe of the fact that their children have special need that regular schools don't meet. In some cases, parents open home-school to escape compulsory education; they do least teaching while having older children care for younger sisters or brothers or work in home businesses. Although .children often learn well at home weak regulations in most states mean that officials rarely challenge or monitor parents who say they are home-schooling. With growing frequency, however, public schools offer services to the home-schools. Districts may permit them to enroll part time for instance; educators fear that otherwise these children could later return full time with serious academic weaknesses, and in any case some districts wanting to qualify for state aid can benefit from part-timers filling empty seats.

A new computer treatment is being used to deal with obesity (肥胖) in children.
Connected to a small dining set, consisting of scales and a plate, a mini computer teaches children how to eat and reminds them when to stop.
“In very fat people, hunger signals from the stomach to the
brain stop functioning. But the new computer system teaches the children how to
receive these messages again,” says Dr. Julian Hamilton-Shield, the
The computer, called a Mandometer, records and stores the weight loss from the plate when children eat. As the food is leaving the plate, a curve (曲线) is produced on the computer screen suggesting whether the child is eating too quickly.
“Children with weight problems often eat too quickly. We want them to eat steadily and slowly and the system teaches them to slow down. It’s a bit like retraining, ” says Hamilton-Shield.
Obesity now represents

Interview With God
I dreamed I had an interview with God. “So you would like to interview me?” God asked. “If you have the time,” I said. “My time is eternity.” God smiled, “what questions do you have in mind for me?” “What surprises you most about humankind?” God answered, “That they get bored with childhood; they rush to grow up, and then long to be children again. That they lose their health to make money... and then lose their money to restore their health. That by thinking anxiously about the future, they forget the present, such that they live in neither the present nor the future. That they live as if they will never die, and die as though they had never lived.” God’s hand took mine and we were silent for a while. And then I asked, “As a parent, what are some of life’s lessons you want your children to learn? To learn they cannot make anyone love them. All they can do is to let themselves be loved. To learn that it is not good ycy to compare themselves to others. To learn to forgive by practicing forgiveness. To learn that it only takes a few seconds to open profound wounds in those they love, and it can take many years to heal them. To learn that a rich person is not one who has the most, but is one who needs the least. To learn that there are people who love them dearly, but simply have not yet learned how to express or show their feelings. To learn that two people can look at the same thing and see it differently. To learn that it is not enough that they forgive one another, but they must also forgive themselves.” “Thank you for your time,” I said humbly. “Is there anything else you would like your children to know?” God smiled and said; “Just know that I am here always.”
51．In God’s eyes, a rich man is one who _________.
A．lives a simple life B．is easy to satisfy
C．doesn’t want to be rich D．gives others a lot
52．Which of the following is best supported by the text?
A．God does exist in the world.
B．He who loves others is sure to be loved by others.
C．When one makes a mistake, he should try to find an excuse to forgive himself.
D．It is easier to lose a friend than to make a friend.
53．The author wrote the passage to _________.
A．invite people to believe in God
B．present people’s wrong attitudes to life and give advice on how to live happily
C．show what is important in life
D．give God’s opinions of humankind and lessons God wants us to learn
BEIJING, Oct.18 －World and regional leaders also congratulated China yesterday on the landing of Shenzhou VI，its second manned spaceship.
French President Jacques Chirac sent a message of congratulations on the successful return of Shenzhou VI，becoming the first foreign head of state to praise the spaceship’s mission（使命）. Foreign media also widely covered the successful landing.

will unite more closely.’’ said Anthony Curtis，a

Leroy Chiao，a US astronaut with Chinese blood，told China Daily yesterday that there is a possibility for the United States and China to co-operate. After all，exploring space is not a piece of cake. It needs many top scientists to complete the high-tech mission.

His music was always strong and exciting.“He does make wonderful music,”said the man who listened happily.“Yes,”said another man,“he makes that horn speak.”Then the music jazz as I can play. I thought jazz was my music, but now I understand it is ours. Isn’t it beautiful how music brings us together!”

Humans are social animals. They live in groups all over the world. As these groups of people live apart from other groups, over the years and centuries they develop their own habits and ideas, which form different cultures. One important particular side of every culture is how its people deal with time.
Time is not
very important in nonindustrial societies. The Nuer people of
Some cultures which do not have a written language or keep written records have developed interesting ways of“telling time”.For example, when several Australian aborigines want to plan an event for a future time, one of them places a stone on a cliff or in a tree. Each day the angle of the sun changes slightly. In a few days, the rays of the sun strike the stone in a certain way. When this happens, the people see that the agreed-upon time has arrived and the event can take place.
In contrast（成对比），exactly correct measurement of time is very important in modern, industrialized societies. This is because industrialized societies require the helpful efforts of many people in order to work. For a factory to work efficiently（well, quickly and without waste）,for example, all of the workers must work at the same time. YC Therefore, they must know what time to start work in the morning and what time they may go home in the afternoon. Passengers must know the exact time that an airplane will arrive or depart. Students and teachers need to know when a class starts and ends. Stores must open on time in order to serve their customers. Complicated（复杂）. societies need clocks and calendars. Thus, we can see that if each person worked according to his or her own schedule, a complicated society could hardly work at all.
46．By saying“Humans are social animals”, the author means .
A．they live all over the world
B．they are different from other animals
C．they live in one place, district or country, considered as a whole
D．they are divided into many groups
47．Time is not very important in nonindustrial societies. This is because people in those societies
.
A．don’t have the word TIME in their languages
B．don’t get used to using clocks and other timepieces
C．don’t measure time in their daily lives
D．don’t need to plan their daily lives around an exact time schedule
48．The Australian aborgines’ way of“telling time”is based on .
A．the change of the sun rays
B．the movement of the earth in relation to the sun
C．the position of the stone
D．the position of the tree or the cliff
49．Which of the following might be the best title for this passage?
A．Time and Culture B．The Measurement of Time
C．Time schedule and Daily Life D．Clock, Calendar and Society

Pocket Tape-Recorders“Family and Home Magazine”test what’s on the market now.
Pearlcorder S702 $64
This simple
model at the bottom of the
Tape
length: 30 minutes per side. Weight :
Sony M9 $49.95
Small and very good looking, Sony’s latest offering scored most for appearance.
Sounds clear, but there is slight machine noise. The big control buttons are a great improvement on some of the complicated little controls on other tape-recorders.
Doesn’t switch off automatically but a red light shows if the machine is still running.
Tape length
: 60 minutes per side. Weight :
Sony M400 $115
Lots of little control buttons that make a noise and are difficult to use. Rcording is good but machine noise loses points. Tape counter and automatic switch-off when tape has finished recording or rewinding are useful.
Tape length

Imperial OEM MC7 $29.95
Cheap and simple compared with the rest, but recording is good as long as there is no background noise. Use only its own make of cassette. No light to show it is on; no fast forward button and the record button makes a loud noise.

It is well-known that when an individual joins a group, he tends to accept the group’s standards of behavior and thinking. Many illustrations（事例）could be given of this from everyday life, but what is of particular interest to psychologists（心理学家）is the extent to which people’s judgments and opinions can be changed as a result of group pressure, Asch and others noticed that people in a group will agree to statements that are contrary to the evidence of their senses. It would be a mistake to think that only particularly docile（听话的）people are chosen to take part in experiments of this type. Usually highly intelligent and independent people are used. In a typical experiment, this is what may happen.
The experimenter asks for volunteers to join a group which is investigating visual perception（视觉）.The victims are not, therefore, aware of the real purpose of the experiment. Each volunteer is taken to a room where he finds a group of about seven people who are cooperating with the experimenter. The group is shown a standard card which contains a single line. They are then asked to look at a second card. This has three lines on it. One is obviously longer than the line on the first card; one is shorter and one the same length. They have to say which line on the second card is the same length as the line on the standard card. The other members of the group answer first but what the volunteer does not know is that they have been told to pick one of the wrong lines. When his turn comes, he is faced with the unanimous（全体一致的）opinion of the rest of the group-all the others have chosen line A but he quite clearly sees line B as correct. What will be do? According to Asch, more than half of the vietims chosen will change their opinion. What is equally surprising is that, when interviewed about their answers, most explained that they knew the group choice was incorrect but that they gave in to the pressure of the group because they thought they must be suffering from an optical illusion（视错觉）， or because they were afraid of being different.
53．The psychologists are particularly interested in .
A．the changes in the attitudes of the people
B．the degree of changes of people’s opinions
C．the result of the experiment
D．the difference in people’s characters
54．People who are usually chosen to take part in the experiments are .
A．independent B．easily guided
C．foolish D．capable of reasoning
55．Which of the following statements is true?
A．The experimenter and all the members of the group except the victim know the purpose of the experiment.
B．All of them know the purpose of the experiment.
C．Only the experimenter knows the purpose of the experiment.
D．Only the victim knows the purpose of the experiment
56．More than half of the victims changed their opinion because .
A．someone in the group changed their opinion
B．they thought their eyes must be cheated
C．they thought the group choice was correct
D．they had been told about the answer

Recently I was asked,“Are we anywhere near the day when you can climb into a car on Long Island, program it to take you to your niece’s house in Chicago, hit enter, and after the first hundred yards, once you hit a main road, the car takes over automatically and you just sit back and enjoy the ride?”
It is a question I worry. But I had to answer truthfully：“Absolutely. We are without a doubt near that day.”Look, we’re already doing it with airplanes.
Northrop Grumman’s Global Hawk takes off at an air base in the U.S., climbs to 50,000 feet, flies to Australia, and lands at an Australian air base, where there is a grandstand filled with military officials=with no human pilot.
The necessary technology is already here. We have radar technology that can be tied to cruise（巡航）control and brakes, which automatically adjusts（调整）your speed based on following distance and preprogrammed settings. It’s still a little bit raw, but it does work great. The technology can allow cars and trucks to follow each other in very closely spaced roads.
GPS can also change speed with location. Let’s say you’re in a state with a 75-mph limit and you cross into a state with a 65-mph limit. GPS knows that and adjust your speed accordingly.
It’s not
out of the question to imagine that someday soon you’ll be able to start the
car, make proper settings, then turn the front seats around and play cards and
eat lunch as if you’re riding on a train. All in perfect comfort and safety,
all the way to that niece’s place in
If asked to estimate just how far time is, I’d say a working system is ten years out, practice maybe 20 years.
57．The purpose of the question asked in the first passage probably is .
A．to draw readers’ attention to his theory
B．to introduce the topic to be discussed in the passage
C．to describe the cars in the future
D．to prove that his idea is right
58．What’s the key technology to automatic car driving?
A．The technology of airplanes.
B．The technology to be developed in the future.
C．The technology of radar and GPS.
D．The technology of satellites.
59．What does the author think of the change in car driving?
A．It’s a terrible thing to come
B．It’s a wonder to drive such a car
C．It’s a pity to give up the skill of driving
D．It is very likely to come true in the near future
60．Which of the following may be the best title for this passage?
A．Driving is dead? B．Cars in the future
C．New technology will change cars? D．Comfortable car driving
