题目内容
Have you been asked for money by some disabled beggars (乞丐) while you’re enjoying shopping? Do you have any pity on them who are so poor and lonely or do you just feel afraid of their terrible shapes? As one of the most special groups, disabled people’s living conditions — not only their material (物质的) conditions, but their mental (精神的) world — really need improvement.
The treatment for disabled people should go like this: First, don’t look down upon them. Don’t be afraid of looking at the terrible shapes of the disabled. Try to treat them equally. Because they are a part of the society (社会),we can?t discard (抛弃) them. The second is to help them as much as we could. If you can be a volunteer and do some work for the disabled people, that would be very nice. That does help not only to the disabled people but also to yourself because you will feel good after your kind action.
If every one of us gives a little love, the world will become a beautiful wonderland!

In China, many families have one or two bicycles.

Some people even get their exercise by doing the new sport of “mall walking”. Others go to malls to meet friends.

◆Americans have difficulties understanding foreign accents. Many Americans are not used to foreign accents. This requires patience from both of you.
◆Talk about places: Americans love to talk about places. When speaking to a stranger, ask them where they come from and then say something about that place. For example: “Oh, I have a friend who worked in Los Angeles. He says it’s a beautiful place to live in.” Most Americans will then willingly talk about their experiences of living in or visiting that city or place.
◆Talk about work: It is common for Americans to ask “What do you do?” It’s not considered impolite as in some countries and is a popular topic of discussion between strangers.
◆Talk about sports: Americans love sports! However, they love American sports. When speaking about football, most Americans understand “American football”, not soccer.

If you take away many sentences from somebody's written work as your own without permission, it's called plagiarism,but if you take the knowledge from a piece of work by another and change the words, then it's not plagiarism. This is the difference between using the Internet and plagiarism. If you are given homework to work out math problems, then you should use your brain without a computer! If the teacher asks you to learn something about a famous literary person, you can use the computer. If you take down the main important information of the task, it’s OK. However, if you run to the computer to do your thinking for you all the time, you don’t exercise your brain and you will forget how to work out a problem. By using a computer, students may get a useful answer fast, to finish homework, but when they have to face an exam, they will not be ready for it.
Though teachers say finding or buying homework answers online is not many in schools, an interview with school students shows only 10% hopes to finish their holiday homework by themselves. They complain that the homework is too much for them to finish. Besides, many of students have to go to all kinds of training classes during the holiday. These take away much of their time for doing homework. So they want to find or even buy answers online or copy each other's homework. Students should learn that being a student is about getting skills, but not just getting quick, cheap "answers" for homework problems. I mean we should use the computer properly.
【小题1】If you want to look up some information about something or somebody, you____.
A.should work it out by yourself |
B.can turn to a computer for help |
C.must discuss it with your teacher |
D.will meet problems with plagiarism |
A.Answering questions in our own words. |
B.Buying homework answers on the Internet. |
C.Copying others’ written work without permission. |
D.Doing our homework with the help of a computer. |
A.The answers are cheap and quick. |
B.They can exercise their brains all the time. |
C.They have to go to all kinds of training classes during the holiday. |
D.They have too much homework to finish. |
A.Using it for math problems. |
B.Using it all the time for the homework. |
C.Using it to get some information on the answers. |
D.Using it when there's too much homework to finish. |
For years and years people have been saying that railways are dead. “We can do without railways,” people say—as if cars and planes have made railways unnecessary. We all keep hearing that trains are slow, lose money and are dying. But this is far from the truth. In these days of expensive oil, railways have become highly competitive with cars and planes. If you want to carry people or goods from place to place, they’re cheaper than planes. And they have much in common with planes. A plane goes in a straight line and so does a railway. What is more, a railway takes you from the heart of a city center. It doesn’t stop you as a car does on crowded roads. And no plane or car can ever carry as many goods as one train does.
Far from being dead, railways are much alive. Modern railway lines give you a comfortable journey. Where else can you eat well, sleep comfortably, feel safe and enjoy the scene while you are traveling at the same time? And we are only the beginning, for we have just entered the age of super-fast trains, which are traveling 150 miles an hour and more. Soon we will be wondering why we spent so much on highways and planes we can’t fly in because we don’t have enough money to buy the oil.
【小题1】Some people think railways are dying because______.
A.planes and cars are expensive |
B.oil is expensive today |
C.trains are slow |
D.railways look ugly |
A.they are cheaper and more convenient |
B.there aren’t any planes or cars |
C.we can have a comfortable journey |
D.we feel dangerous on highways |
A.It is cheaper to travel by train than by plane |
B.The railway station is usually at the center of the city. |
C.When you get off a plane you will find yourself right in the city center. |
D.No car or plane can carry as many goods as a train. |
A.参与性的 | B.性价比高的 |
C.竞争性的 | D.对比性的 |
A.Which is the Best, Train, Car or Plane? |
B.Railways, not the End, but the Beginning |
C.Trains are More Competitive than Cars or Planes |
D.Oh, Super-fast Trains |
“Mind your own business.” we’re told.“Don’t talk about others behind their backs.”The problem with this advice is that,not only is it unrealistic,it’s also counterproductive(起反作用的).
Common sense holds that gossip(流言蜚语)hurts people’s feelings and damages relationships.But recent research shows the opposite—that strong communities and relationships between people would be impossible without gossip.
Gossip is a way for people to let you know the limits of social behavior.“If you move into a community and your neighbor tells you how the former homeowner never dealt with his rubbish properly,his gossip is letting you in on something,”says Dr.Ralph Rosnow of Temple University.“Gossip says:these are the boundaries and you are crossing them.You’re not abiding by the rules and you’d better get back in line.” Seen this way,gossip is a way to communicate criticism(批评)without conflict(冲突),giving you a chance to change your behavior without losing face.
On the other hand,what about ill-willed gossip,the kind that puts other people down? Gossip is hearing something we like about someone we don’t and,in nearly every country in the world,gossip magazines have huge numbers of readers.According to researchers,however,this kind of gossip also has a good side because it helps us put our own problems in perspective(正确地).“If we read bad news about well-known people,or get the frightful details of our neighbors’ bad situation over a cup of coffee,our own problems begin to pale in comparison(对比),”says Dr.Jack Levin of Northeastern University.
However,that doesn’t mean that gossip is necessarily a good thing,either.Researchers found that people who gossip a lot tend to feel like they’re under a lot of stress.This might be because while they’re busy talking about other people,they’re also busy thinking what other people are saying about them.
【小题1】What is the purpose of the text?
A.To encourage us to spread gossip about others. |
B.To prevent us from spreading gossip about others。 |
C.To make a comparison between good gossip and bad gossip. |
D.To recognize certain positive functions of gossip. |
A.it’s a bad habit to gossip |
B.nobody pays attention to gossip |
C.not all the gossip you hear is worth believing |
D.it’s necessary to have a nice gossip with a friend or neighbor |
A.making | B.breaking | C.obeying | D.changing |
A.people under much stress enjoy gossiping about others. |
B.in a way gossip helps us deal with our own problems. |
C.in fact most people tend to believe gossip. |
D.the more there is gossip, the stronger relationships become between people. |
