     I made a pledge (发誓) to myself on the way down to the vacation beach cottage. For two weeks I would
try to be a loving husband and father. Totally loving. No ifs, ands or buts.
     The idea had come to me as I listened to a talk on my car radio. The speaker was quoting a Biblical (圣经
的) passage about husbands being thoughtful of their wives. Then he went on to say, "Love is an act of will.
A person can choose to love." To myself, I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband. Well, for two weeks
that would change.
     And it did. Right from the moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said, "That new yellow sweater looks
great on you.
     "Oh, Tom, you noticed," she said, surprised and pleased, maybe a little puzzled.
     After the long drive, I wanted to sit and read. Evelyn suggested a walk on the beach. I started to refuse, but
then I thought, "Evelyn's been alone here with the kids all the week and now she wants to stay with me." We
walked on the beach while the children flew their kites.
     So it went. Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street firm where I am a director; a visit to the shell museum
though I usually hate museums. Relaxed and happy, that's how the whole vacation passed. I made a new pledge to keep on remembering to choose love.
     There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment, however. Evelyn and I still laugh about it today.
Last night at our cottage,p reparing for bed, Evelyn stared at me with the saddest expression.
     " What's the matter?" I asked her.
     "Tom," she said in a voice filled with distress, "do you know something I don't?"
     "What do you mean?"
     " Well...that checkup (体检) I had several weeks ago...our doctor...did he tell you something about me?
Tom, you've been so good to me...am I dying?"
     It took a moment for it all to sink in. Then I burst out laughing.
     "No, honey," I said, wrapping her in my arms. "You're not dying; I'm just starting to live."

1. In the first paragraph, "No ifs, ands or buts" probably means ____.
[     ]
A. unnecessarily
B. unexpectedly
C. impossibly
D. unconditionally
2. From the story we may infer that Tom drove to the beach cottage _____.
[     ]
A. with his family
B. with Evelyn
C. alone
D. with his children
3. During the two weeks on the beach, Tom showed more love to his wife because _____.
[     ]
A. she looked lovely in her new clothes
B. he had made a lot of money in Wall Street
C. he was determined to be a good husband
D. she was seriously ill
4. The underlined words "one thing" in the text refer to the fact that _____.
[     ]
A. he praised her sweater, which puzzled her
B. she insisted on visiting a museum, which he hated
C. he knew something about her illness but didn't tell her
D. he was so good to her that she thought she must be dying
5. By saying "I'm just starting to live", Tom means that _____.
[     ]
A. he is just beginning to understand the real meaning of life
B. he is just beginning to enjoy his life as a loving husband
C. he lived an unhappy life before and is now starting to change
D. he is beginning to feel regretful for what he did to his wife

                        What should I do with the diary I've kept for 50 years?
      I've been keeping a journal since I was 16 and I'm now 65. I have more than 80 notebooks in a big
box. I don't want my children embarrassed by them when I die. But I can't bring myself, yet, to burn the
case. My journals are still part of me. Might my grandchildren, with a bit more distance, be interested? Or
is there some way I could turn them into something creative? I'm thinking about art instead of a book.
     *shirleyujest  5 March 2012, 11:22 p.m.
     Please don't burn them! What a wonderful source of memories for you-or if you feel you'd rather not
keep them, possibly what a wonderful resource for others! Why not contact something like the Mass
Observation Project at the University of Sussex? Then they will remain as a record of everyday life
throughout your lifetime, and if your grandchildren are interested they'll know where to find them.
     *bloggsie45  6 March 2012, 8:30 a.m.
     Please don't burn them! If possible, transcribe(转录) them, or have them transcribed, into a
computer medium before your words are lost because the paper has decayed. I recently had an
opportunity to read a similar diary of the WW? record of an ordinary soldier. It was attractive in the way
it differed from the official record. I suppose to some degree it all depends on what you have recorded,
but many social historians and similar people would find such a complete personal record of a life led
during the second half of the 20th century to be very valuable.
     Please don't stop writing now just because you are 65!
1.    What does the underlined word "them" refer to about the journal owner?
A. His children and grandchildren.
B. The best responses to his problem.
C. His more than 80 diary books.
D. The changes from 18 to 65.
2.    What does the journal owner probably hope to happen to his journals?
A. His children will put them together with him after his death.
B. His grandchildren will continue to write following his habit.
C. They can be published by famous publishing houses.
D. They can be filmed or changed into a TV play.
3.    What does "shirleyujest" think of the owner's journal?
A. They provide good memories for others especially his grandchildren.
B. They will educate the young to remember the hard life.
C. They will help his grandchildren earn more money.
D. They will make others learn more about the war.
4.    "Bloggsie45" mentions an ordinary soldier's war record in his words to ___.
A. remind the owner to write more about the war
B. tell him social historians may be interested in his notebooks
C. encourage him to write journals like determined soldiers
D. show the owner his notebooks will benefit some people

“I started going to clubs when I was nineteen. My friends went and they told me that I’d love it. They were right.” –Lara
Lara is a twenty-one-year old student who loves dancing. “At the moment, my favorite kind of music is acid jazz. I’d love to go to a Fatboy Slim or Ken Ishii gig. They’re so cool,” says Lara. Fatboy Slim and Ken Ishii are not pop stars—they are famous DJs. Being a DJ these days means more than playing records at a nightclub. DJs like Fatboy Slim have also produced a lot of successful CDs of their own music.
Nightclubs have been popular since the seventies but today’s clubs are different. They don’t usually open until at least 11 pm, and people often stay until 7 or 8 o’clock the next morning. Some clubbers will keep on dancing until 12 o’clock in the morning.
Why has dance music become so popular? Some people believe that clubs give young people what the hippies found in the sixties. They have somewhere to meet people just like them. Many clubbers say that dance music helps them to escape from their problems. They feel they are part of a big happy family. But most people just love to dance.
