One afternoon I toured an art museum while waiting for my husband to finish a business meeting. I was looking forward to a quiet view of the wonderful works..

A young couple viewing the paintings ahead of me chatted nonstop between themselves. I watched them a moment and decided she was doing all the talking. I admired his patience for tolerating her constant words. Disturbed by their noise, I moved on.

I encountered them several times as I moved through the various rooms of art. Each time I heard her constant talking, I moved away quickly.

I was standing at the counter of the museum gift store doing some shopping when the couple approached the exit. Before they left, the man reached into his pocket and pulled out a white object. He turned it into a long cane (手杖) and then tapped his way into the coatroom to get his wife’s jacket.

“He’s a brave man,” the clerk at the counter said, “Most of us would give up if we were blinded at such a young age. During his recovery, he made a promise his life wouldn’t change. So, as before, he and his wife come in whenever there’s a new art show.”

“But what does he get out of the art?” I asked, “He can’t see.”

“Can’t see! You’re wrong. He sees a lot. More than you or I do,” the clerk said, “His wife describes each painting so he can see it in his head.”

I learned something about patience, courage and love that day. I saw the patience of a young wife describing paintings to a person without sight and the courage of a husband who would not allow blindness to change his life.

And I saw the love shared by two people as I watched this couple walk away arm in arm.

Which of the following statements is true?

A. The husband was doing all the talking when the couple viewed the works.

B. The husband tapped his way to the coatroom to get his jacket.

C. The husband was considered a brave man by the clerk at the store.

D. The husband allowed blindness to change his life.

The underlined word “encountered” in the passage means “________”.

A. saw B. met C. talked D. argued

At first the author’s attitude towards the wife of the couple was _________.

A. positive B. neutral C. bored D. admiring

What can be inferred from the passage is ___________.

A. the man had his eyes blinded in a fight

B. the man must be a painter before

C. the woman was very devoted to his husband

D. the man often killed time by visiting exhibitions

It is Saturday afternoon. You and your friends are planning to go to the movies and then spend the night together. Just as you start to get ready, your dad reminds you that it is your aunt's birthday and the whole family is going out to dinner to celebrate. How can this possibly end without a huge argument?

　　One of the greatest sources of tension (紧张情绪) between teenagers and their families is the struggle to balance personal desires with family expectations. As you are getting older, you are becoming more independent and more interested in being with your friends.

　　However，at the same time，your family is trying to figure out how to deal with these changes. While you once spent most of your free time with your family, you are now often absent from home. Parents may get their feelings hurt. Or they might feel that they are losing control of their family during this period. You might feel angry that so many family demands are placed on you.

　　There are a few things you can try to make it a little easier to ease (缓解) the tension.

　　* Make your plans in advance. Ask your parents if there is anything else planned at that time.

　　* When something with your friends interferes (冲突) with a family event，try to figure out if there is any way you can do both.

　　* Suggest something you would really like to do with your family. Sometimes parents feel better just knowing their teenager wants to spend time with them.

　　Some of the time you won’t be happy with the outcome (结果). You might either have to disappoint your parents or have to miss out being with your friends. However, if you show consideration for the feelings of both your family and your friends，you can solve the problem in a tender way.

The purpose of the first paragraph is to _________.

　　A. show a disagreement of views B. serve as a description of teenager trouble

　　C. serve as an introduction to the discussion

　　D. show the popularity of teenager problem

The tension between teenagers and their families is caused by the fact that____________.

　　A. teenagers don’t like to take family demands

　　B. parents want to keep their family under control

　　C. parents feel unhappy that their children make so many friends

　　D. both parents and teenagers don’t pay attention to each other’s feeling much

What’s the purpose of the passage?

　　A. To inform us of parent and teenager tension.

B. To advise teenagers how to deal with their tension with their families.

　　C. To persuade parents to show consideration for teenagers.

D. To tell us about a common teenager problem.

When a group of children politely stop a conversation with you, saying: "We have to go to work now," you' re left feeling surprised and certainly uneasy. After all, this is the 1990s and the idea of children working is just unthinkable. That is, until you are told that they are all pupils of stage schools, and that the "work" they go off to is to go on the stage in a theatre.

Stage schools often act as agencies (代理机构) to supply children for stage and television work. More worthy of the name "stage school" are those few places where children attend full time, with a training for the theatre and a general education.

A visit to such schools will leave you in no doubt that the children enjoy themselves. After all , what lively children wouldn't settle for spending only half the day doing ordinary school work, and acting, singing or dancing their way through the other half of the day?

Then of course there are times for the children to make a name and make a little money in some big shows. Some stage schools give their children too much professional work at such a young age. But the law is very tight on the amount they can do. Those under 13 are limited to 40 days in the year; those over 13 to 80 days.

The schools themselves admit that not all children will be successful in the profession for which they are being trained. So what happens to those who don' t make it? While all the leading schools say they place great importance on children getting good study results, the facts seem to suggest this is not always the case.

In the writer' s opinion, a good stage school should _________ .

A. produce star performers

B. help pupils improve their study skills

C. train pupils in language and performing arts

D. provide a general education and stage training.

"Professional work" as used in the text means _________ .

A. ordinary school work B. money-making performances

C. stage training at school D. acting, singing or dancing after class

Which of the following best describes how the writer feels about stage schools?

A. He thinks highly of what they have to offer .

B. He favours an early start in the training of performing arts.

C. He feels uncomfortable about children putting on night shows.

D. He doubts the standard of ordinary education they have reached.

The idea of “law” exists in every culture. All societies have some kind of law to keep order and to control the interactions of people with those around them. The laws of any culture tell people three things: what they can do (their right), what they must do (their duties), and what they may not do. In addition, there are usually specific types of punishment for those who break the law.

Although all societies have laws, not all have the same idea of justice—which is “right” and “wrong” and how “wrong” should be punished. In most Western cultures, it is thought that punishing criminals will prevent them from committing other crimes. Also, it is hoped that the fear of punishment will act as a deterrent(威慑) that prevents other people from committing similar crimes; in other words, people who are considering a life of crime will decide against it because of fear of punishment. In most non-Western cultures, by contrast, punishment is not seen as a deterrent. Instead, great importance is placed on restoring balance in the situation. A thief, for example, may be ordered to return the things he has stolen instead of, as in Western societies, spending time in prison.

Another difference in the concept of justice lies in various societies’ ideas of what laws are. In the West, people consider “laws” quite different from “customs”. There is also a great contrast between “sins” (breaking religious laws) and “crimes” (breaking laws of the government). In many non-Western cultures, on the other hand, there is little separation of customs, laws, and religious beliefs; in other cultures, these three may be quite separate from one another, but still very much different from those in the West. For these reasons, an action may be considered a crime in one country, but be socially acceptable in others. For instance, although a thief is viewed as a criminal in much of the world, in a small village where there is considerable communal（公共的） living and sharing of objects, the word thief may have little meaning. Someone who has taken something without asking is simply considered an impolite person.

Most countries have two kinds of law: criminal and civil. People who have been accused of acts such as murder or theft are heard in the criminal justice system, while civil justice deals with people who are believed to have violated others’ rights. The use of the civil system reflects the values of the society in which it exists. In the United States where personal, individual justice is considered very important, civil law has become “big business.” There are over 600,000 lawyers in the United States, and many of them keep busy with civil lawsuits; that is, they work for people who want to sue others. If a man falls over a torn rug in a hotel and breaks his arm, for instance, he might decide to sue the hotel owners so that they will pay his medical costs. In a country like Japan, by contrast, there is very little use of the civil justice system. Lawsuits are not very popular in Japan, where social harmony is even more important than individual rights, and where people would rather reach agreement outside court.

The main point of paragraph 1 is that____.

A. all societies, Western or non-Western, have some kind of law to keep order.

B. most countries in the world have two kinds of law “criminal and civil ”

C. there are usually specific types of punishment for those who break the law.

D. the laws of any culture dictate people’s rights, duties and what they are not supposed to do

Which is TRUE in most Western cultures?

A. Punishment has double functions.

B. A thief may be referred to as an impolite person.

C. Punishment is not regarded as a deterrent.

D. There is lots of communal living and sharing of objects.

Which statement is NOT true according to the article?

A. In the West, people think laws and customs are rather different.

B. In the West, there is little difference between “sins” and “crimes”.

C. An action that is considered a crime in one country may be socially acceptable in another.

D. There is far less use of the civil justice system in Japan than in the United States.

Which of the following cases are not heard in the criminal justice system?

A. Robbing a pedestrian. B. Kidnapping people for ransom.

C. Breaking into a bank. D. Failing to pay back the money.
