Passage 1
Community service is an important component of education here at our university. We encourage all students to volunteer for at least one community activity before they graduate. A new community program called One On One helps elementary students who’ve fallen behind. Your education majors might be especially interested in it because it offers the opportunity to do some teaching, that is, tutoring in math and English.
You’d have to volunteer two hours a week for one semester. You can choose to help a child with math, English, or both. Half-hour lessons are fine, so you could do a half hour of each subject two days a week.
Professor Dodge will act as a mentor to the tutors — he’ll be available to help you with lesson plans or to offer suggestions for activities. He has office hours every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. You can sign up for the program with him and begin the tutoring next week.
I’m sure you’ll enjoy this community service and you’ll gain valuable experience at the same time. It looks good on your resume, too, showing that you’ve had experience with children and that you care about your community. If you’d like to sign up, or if you have any questions, stop by Professor Dodge’s office this week.
1.What is the purpose of the talk? _________.
A.To explain a new requirement for graduation.
B.To interest students in a new community program

Passage 2
A foreigner’s first impression of the U.S. is likely to be that everyone is in a rush-often under pressure. City people appear always to be hurrying to get where they are going restlessly, seeking attention in a store, and elbowing others as they try to complete their errands （任务）. Racing through daytime meals is part of the pace of life in this country.
Working time is considered precious. Others in public eating places are waiting for you to finish so that they too can be served and get back to work within the time allowed. Each person hurries to make room for the next person. If you don’t, waiters will hurry you.
You also find drivers will be abrupt and that people will push past you. You will miss smiles, brief conversations, and small courtesies with strangers. Don’t take it personally. This is because people value time highly, and they resent someone else ―wasting it beyond a certain courtesy point.
The view of time affects the importance we attach to patience. In the American system of values, patience is not a high priority. Many of us have what might be called ―a short fuse. We begin to move restlessly about if we feel time is slipping away without some return be this in terms of pleasure, work value, or rest. Those coming from lands where time is looked upon differently may find this matter of pace to be one of their most difficult adjustments in both business and daily life.
Many newcomers to the States will miss the opening courtesy of a business call, for example, they will miss the ritual socializing that goes with a welcoming cup of tea or coffee they may be traditional in their own country. They may miss leisurely business chats in a café or coffeehouse. Normally, Americans do not assess their visitors in such relaxed surroundings over prolonged small talks. We seek out evidence of past performance rather than evaluate a business colleague through social courtesies. Since we generally assess and probe professionally rather than socially, we start talking business very quickly.
1. Which of the following statements is wrong? __________
A. Americans seem to be always under pressure.
B. Americans attach less importance to patience.
C. Americans don’t care much about ritual socializing.
D. Americans are impolite to their business colleagues.
2. In the fourth paragraph, ―a high priority means __________.
A. a less important thing B. a first concern
C. a good business D. an attractive gift
3. Americans evaluate a business colleague __________.
A. through social courtesy
B. through prolonged business talks
C. by establishing business relations
D. by learning about their past performance
4. This passage mainly talks about __________.
A. how Americans treasure their time
B. how busy Americans are every day
C. how Americans do business with foreigners
D. what American way of life is like
5. We can infer from the passage that the author’s tone in writing is ___________.
A. critical B. ironical C. appreciative D. objective
Passage 3
Laws have been written to govern the use of American National Flag, and to ensure proper respect for the flag. Custom has also governed the common practice in regard to its use. All the armed services have precise regulations on how to display the national flag. This may vary somewhat from the general rules. The national flag should be raised and lowered by hand. Do not raise the flag while it is folded. Unfolded the flag first, and then hoist it quickly to the top of the flagpole. Lower it slowly and with dignity. Place no objects on or over the flag. Do not use the flag as part of a costume or athletic uniform. Do not print it upon cushions, handkerchief, paper napkins or boxes. A federal law provides that the trademark cannot be registered if it comprises the flag, or badgers of the US. When the flag is used to unveil a statue or monument, it shouldn’t serve as a covering of the object to be unveiled. If it is displayed on such occasions, do not allow the flag to the ground, but let it be carried high up in the air to form a feature of the ceremony. Take every precaution to prevent the flag from soiled. It should not be allowed to touch the ground or floor, nor to brush against objects.

Passage 4
Many people who work in London prefer to live outside it, and to go in to their offices or schools every day by train, car or bus, even though this means they have to get up early in the morning and reach home late in the evening.
One advantage of living outside London is that houses are cheaper. Even a small flat in London without a garden costs quite a lot to rent. With the same money, one can get a little house in the country with a garden of one’s own.
Then, in the country one can really get away from the noise and hurry of busy working lives. Even though one has to get up earlier and spend more time in trains or buses, one can sleep better at night and during weekends and on summer evenings, one can enjoy the fresh, clean air of the country. If one likes gardens, one can spend one's free time digging, planting, watering and doing the hundred and one other jobs which are needed in a garden. Then, when the flowers and vegetables come up, one has got the reward together with those who have shared the secret of Nature.
Some people, however, take no interest in country things: for them, happiness lies in the town, with its cinemas and theatres, beautiful shops and busy streets, dance-halls and restaurants. Such people would feel that their life was not worth living if they had to live it outside London. An occasional walk in one of the parks and a fortnight’s (two weeks) visit to the sea every summer is all the country they want: the rest they are quite prepared to leave to those who are glad to get away from London every night.
1. Which of the following statements is NOT true? ____
A. People who love Nature prefer to live outside the city.
B. People who work in London prefer to live in the country.
C. Some people enjoying city life prefer to work and live inside London.
D. Many nature lovers, though working in London, prefer to live outside the city.
2. With the same money ____, one can buy a little house with a garden in the country.
A. getting a small flat with a garden
B. having a small flat with a garden
C. renting a small flat without a garden
D. buying a small flat without a garden
3. When the garden is in blossom, it means that one ____ has been rewarded.
A. living in the country
B. having spent time working in the garden
C. having a garden of his own
D. having been digging, planting and watering
4. Which of the following statements is true? ____
A. Those who prefer to live in London would feel their life was meaninglful.
B. Those who prefer to live outside London would feel their life was boring.
C. Those who prefer to live in London believe their life was worthy living.
D. Those who prefer to live outside London believe their life was valuable.
5. The underlined phrase get away from in the 3rd paragraph refers to ____ .
A. deal with B. do away with
C. escape from D. prevent from
Passage 5
Paper is one of the most important products ever invented by man. Wide spread use of written language would not have been possible without some cheap and practical material to write on. The invention of paper meant that more people could be educated because more books could be printed and distributed. Together with the printing press, paper provided an extremely important way to communicate knowledge.
How much paper do you use every year? Probably you cannot answer that question quickly. In 1990 the world’s use of paper was about one kilogram for each person a year. Now some countries use as much as 50 kilograms of paper for each person a year. Countries like the United States, England and Sweden use more paper than other countries.
Paper, like many other things that we use today, was first made in China. In Egypt and the West, paper was not very commonly used before the year 1400. The Egyptians wrote on a kind of material made of a water plant. Europeans used parchment for many hundreds of year. Parchment was very strong; it was made from the skin of certain young animals. We have learnt of the most important facts of European history from records that were kept on parchment.
1. What’s the meaning for the underlined word ―parchment? ____________

Passage 6
Places to stay in Britain are as varied as the places you visit.Whatever your budget is, the choice -from basic barn to small hotel, from tiny cottage to grand castle - is all part of fun.
Hostels
Cheap, good-value hostels are aimed at all types of like-minded travelers, who prefer value over luxury and you don't have to be young or single to use them.Britain's independent hostels and backpackers hostels also offer a great welcome.Facilities and prices vary, especially in rural areas, where some hostels are a little more than a bunkhouse (临时住房) while others are remarkably comfortable － almost like bargain hotels.
Youth Hotels
Founded many years ago to "help all, especially young people of limited means, to a greater knowledge, love and care of the countryside", the Youth Hotels Association is still going strong in the 21st century.The network of 230 hotels is a perfect gateway for exploring Britain's towns and countryside.
B&Bs

Pubs & Inns
As well as selling drinks and meals, Britain's pubs and inns sometimes offer B&B, particularly in country areas.Staying a night or two can be great fun and puts you at the heart of the local community.Rates range from around ￡15 to ￡25 per person.Pubs are more likely to have single rooms.

Passage 7
The origin of language is a mystery. All we know is that men, unlike animals, invented certain sounds to express thought and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to present those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, we call words.
The power of words lies in their associations - the things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something increases.
Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly and vulgar.
1. The origin of language is ____.
A. a legend handed down from the past
B. a matter that is hidden or secret
C. a question difficult to answer
D. a problem not yet solved

A. properties
B. characteristics
C. peculiarity
D. representative function
4. By“association”in the last paragraph, the author means ____.
A. a special quality
B. a joining of ideas in the mind
C. an appearance which is puzzling
D. a strange feature
5. Which of the following statements about the real poet is NOT true?
A. He is no more than a master of words.
B. He can convey his ideas in words which sing like music.
C. He can move men to tears.
D. His style is always charming.
Passage 8

The worker saw everything. ‘What should I do?’ he thought. ‘Thornhill was at the very edge of the platform. If I cry out, he will take another step, fall off it and surely be killed.’ So the worker quickly took some paint (漆)and threw it at the pictures.

Passage 9
Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents.Every day they are very busy trying to earn money in order to pay the high tuition for my brother and me.They don’t act in the romantic ways that I read in books or I see on TV.In their opinion, “I love you” is too luxurious for them to say. Sending flowers to each other on Valentine’s Day is even more out of the question.
One day, I asked my mother if there is love between her and and my Dad when she was sewing.
My mother stopped her work and didn’t answer immediately.I was very worried because I thought I had hurt her.
“Susan,” she said , “Look at this thread.Sometimes it appears, but most of it disappears in the quilt.The thread really makes the quilt strong and durable.If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread.It can hardly be seen anywhere or anytime, but it’s really there.Love is inside.”
I listened carefully but I couldn’t understand her until the next spring.At that time, my father suddenly got sick seriously.My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month.When they returned from the hospital, they both looked very pale.It seemed both of them had had a serious illness.
After they were back, every day in the morning and dusk, my mother helped my father walk slowly on the country road.My father had never been so gentle.It seemed they were the most harmonious couple.
The doctor had said my father would recover in two months.But after two months he still couldn’t walk by himself.All of us were worried about him.
“Dad, how are you feeling now?” I asked him one day.
“Susan, don’t worry about me.” he said gently.“To tell you the truth, I just like walking with your mom.I like this kind of life.” Reading his eyes, I knew he loves my mother deeply.
Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and sweet kisses.But from this experience, I understand that love is just a thread in the quilt of our life. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.

Passage 10
Simple Habits to Help You Become Happier
Eat Bananas
It’s no doubt that this fruit is “top banana” when it comes to triggering happiness2. Not only is this super food cost-effective and abundant year-round, it is also simple and portable for when you need it the most. Eating one banana can calm your body and mind while giving you the right amount of energy and brain power to face the day.
Volunteer
Lending a helping hand is a reward in itself. Using your skills and expertise to assist the less fortunate can boost your happiness. After all, you’ve accomplished something for the greater good. Start small and maybe prepare a meal for your elderly neighbors or volunteer to cook and serve dinner at a local soup kitchen. Bringing some life and light back into someone’s life and seeing their happiness and gratitude is contagious.
Enjoy Friendship
Laughter is one of the best prescriptions for daily happiness. Find a group of friends and enjoy a distraction-free evening reminiscing and talking about your lives together. Avoid gossip and venting about problems that plague you. Keep in mind that often your friends know you well enough to give you sound advice. Take it and then let the conversation shift to something more lighthearted.
Plan Your Day
Plan your meals a week in advance and cook ahead on the weekends. Each evening, set aside a few minutes to ready clothing and items that you need for the next day. Keeping your own needs in mind is a great way to stay organized and in control of your life so you can enjoy each moment.
Turn off the TV
The temptation to turn on the TV for “noise” or to relax can actually be harmful to your health and your happiness. Don’t turn on the TV while you’re doing something pleasurable and relaxing, like cooking or spending time with your family. These activities deserve your focus and will reduce your stress levels, if you aren’t multitasking. Turn off the TV and give yourself some reflective time to read a book or play a game with your family.
You don’t need to change your entire life to find happiness. Start with these simple habits that can help refocus your mind on what is important and increase the joy you find in everyday living.

Passage 12
Younger people and older people do not always agree. They sometimes have different ideas about life, work and play. But in one special program in New York State, adults and teenagers live together in peace. Each summer 200 teenagers and 50 adults live together for eight weeks as members of a special work group. Everyone works several hours each day. The aim is not just to keep busy but rather to find meaning and enjoyment in work. Some teenagers work in the woods or on the farms near the village. Some learn to make furniture and to build houses. The adults teach them these skills.
There are several free hours each day. Weekends are free, too. During the free hours some of the teenagers learn photography or painting. Others sit around talking and singing. Each teenager chooses his own way to spend his free time.
When people live together, rules are always necessary. In this program the teenagers and the adults make the rules together. If someone breaks a rule, the problem goes before the whole group. The group discusses the problem. They ask, “Why did it happen?” “What should we do about it?”

Passage14
When we read fascinating stories of animals in their natural settings and see gorgeous colored pictures of the animals, few of us realize what some people went through to make all this possible.
To study bats, investigators have to enter caves which can present many problems, including the guano（海鸟粪）, which produce unpleasant smell. One cave in Texas, where Merlin Tuttle went to photograph bats, had 20 million of the creatures and tons of guano. Tuttle could breathe only with a respirator. That was not easy with the temperature at 102 degrees and the humidity at 100 percent. His respirator failed little by little, but he didn't notice it.
Eventually, he landed in the hospital with 40% of his lung capacity destroyed. Contrary to doctors' predictions he managed to recover. On his first trip after his recovery, he grabbed a tree branch to swing over an abandoned mine shaft（竖井）. The tree limb broke and he fell onto large rocks. This time he had broken ribs, but he is ready to go again.

Passage 17
Millions of divorces take place all around the world every year. Many of them happen because one of the partners has changed significantly. Some of them happen because of the chronic cheating habits of either partner. But most of them happen because they were not in the right marriage to begin with.
Are you thinking of getting married? Here are the five crucial questions that you must ask yourselves first.
1. Are our life and career goals similar?
Marriage is a decision to inextricably join your life with someone else’s. Aligning your life, career and other important goals is crucial.
Are you planning to pool all your resources, throw them (and yourself) head-on into your new start-up –– the dream of your life? Then don’t marry someone who wants a stable life and lots of quality time together.
2. Do we fulfill each other's needs?
Ask yourself –– have you made a rational evaluation of whether and how much of your needs your significant other fulfills?
This is important because when we take that addictive drug called love, we tend to see only positives in the person we love. But if you ignore your basic needs, they will find a way to come back to you in the long run –– in the form of fights, emotional abuse, cheating and even divorce.
3. Do we really know each other?
Knowing your partner and allowing them to know you are vital aspects of a stable relationship. Trust takes an immense amount of work and time to build, but only seconds to lose.
4. Do we admire and respect each other?
Falling in love with someone “for no particular reason” is great for the heady period of infatuation but not nearly enough for the everyday reality of marriage. Marriage is a long commitment. It has to be about finding long-term fulfillment and happiness in the individuals that you are.
5. Am I ready to think of him/her as a parent of my children?
Remember, your legacy to this world will be as much a part of you as of him/her. Unless it fills your heart with joy to think of them as a parent of your children, you should probably think about that marriage thing again.
1.Some couples get divorced because of the constant cheating of either partner.
A. T B. F
3.If you want a stable life and lots of quality time together, you’d better not marry someone who spares no efforts to start his own business.
A. T B. F
3.We can see both the positives and negatives in the person we fall in love.
A. T B. F
4.It takes an immense amount of time for trust to break down.
A. T B. F
5.Since marriage is a lifelong commitment, it is of necessity to find long-term fulfillment and happiness in your partner.

Passage 18

increment each year? If your answer is "No", then, you need to do something to
make changes by enhancing your current career or advance to a new career that
pays better and with better employee benefits. Here are some tips on how to use
an online degree to make these changes happen.
Generally, people with more working experience in related field get better
salary. People who are holding a bachelor's degree get better income. Master's degree holders get higher salary than bachelor's degree holders and people with doctorate degree get the highest pays.

few years of working experience and your current income. In addition, if you have family commitment and other financial reasons that stop you from quitting your job, then, earning your degree online is the best option that provides a perfect solution to continuing your job and pursuing a degree for a better future.
