Having visited my two children,I left the hospital and headed for the grocery store,truly exhausted. Today I had passed CPR(嬰儿心肺复苏术) exam required before I could take 8-week-old Joel home from the hospital. However,I still worried about performing CPR in a moment of crisis.

For the past several days,I'd been trying to accept my 6-year-old daughter Jenna's diagnosis,juvenile diabetes (儿童糖尿病) .In addition to the CPR exam,I'd spent the day reviewing how to test Jenna's blood and give her insulin (豉岛素) shots. Now I was buying the food to balance the insulin that would sustain Jenna's life.

I grabbed my purse,locked the car and went into the store. The first thing I needed to pick up was a grain box,but it had to be "sugar free"，so I chose a box of Kellogg's Corn Flakes and continued shopping.

Eventually,I walked down the canned fruit and juice section looking for apple juice. I wasn't sure how much I would need to keep Jenna's sugar up. I grabbed a couple sixpacks and placed them in my cart. Frustrated by feelings of total inadequacy,I crumpled up (揉铍) my grocery list,and started crying.

"Honey,are you all right?" a gentle voice asked. Absorbed in my own thoughts,I hadn't even noticed the woman shopping alongside of me. "Honey,are you a little short of cash?" she asked me.

I slowly dropped my hands from my face and looked into eyes of the silvery haired woman. "I have enough money. I'm here shopping for groceries so that I can bring my children home from the hospital tomorrow. " I said.

"Home from the hospital!What a celebration,you should have a party！”

This stranger took my grocery list,smoothed it out,and became my personal shopper. She stayed by my side until each item on my list was checked off. Then with a hug and a smile,she sent me on my way.

While dragging the groceries into my house I realized the lesson this woman had taught me. "My kids are coming home from the hospital！" I shouted with joy. "Joel is off life support. Jenna and I can learn how to manage her diabetes and give her shots properly. " I giggled (唂唂地笑) to myself. "I have a reason to celebrate！"

对于许多科学家和工程师，人们都是根据他们的成就有多大来评判的。

Perhaps the greatest challenge I faced during my undergraduate years was entering hospital as a medical student. Even now,I still remember what happened to me the first day I 1 the gynecological (妇科的) department. Wearing white gowns,my teacher and I began to diagnose and 2 patients at 8 a.m. At the beginning,patients came in and my teacher got very 3 . After each patient's case history had been asked,they were examined. While I was only observing how my teacher 4 the medical records and never went into the examination room. Half an hour later,my teacher began to 5 with me. "Why don't you come into the examination room?" she asked.

I was a man of few words and I would 6 if I met a girl,let alone doing a gynecological examination. "I think it's too 7," I answered.

"But you can't forget you are a doctor. If you are shy,you are not able to 8 in this department," she said seriously.

At that moment,I felt very 9 . Just then another patient came,when my teacher was preparing to examine her,I 10 to walk into the entrance of the room. "Please pass me the medical gloves. ” My teacher had 11 me. I had to get into the room and obeyed her. She asked the patient to take off her dress,but the patient 12 ,

"Why?" My teacher asked.

"I think that man should go away" ， she pointed at me. "Never mind,he is our young doctor."

Quite 13 ,the patient took off her dress and we finished the examination. To my surprise,my teacher asked me to 14 the examination by myself when the next patient came. Under much 15 I entered the examination room and pretended to be experienced. In fact,I was so 16 that my heart was beating very fast. I tried my best to calm down.

"Have you ever 17 any patients before? You seem to be very young. ” The patient asked.

"Yes,I've worked here only for two years and if there is any question,I will 18 that old doctor."

Hearing my words,the patient seemed to be 19 ,and I continued the examination successfully. Going out of the room,I told all this to my teacher and she was 20 with me.

Communications technologies are far from equal when it comes to conveying the truth. The first study to compare honesty across a range of communication media has found that people are twice as likely to tell lies in phone conversations as they are in emails. The fact that emails are automatically recorded―and can come back to haunt (困扰) you―appears to be the key to the finding.

Jeff Hancock of Cornell University in Ithaca,New York,asked 30 students to keep a communications diary for a week. In it they noted the number of conversations or email exchanges they had lasting more than 10 minutes,and confessed to how many lies they told. Hancock then worked out the number of lies per conversation for each medium. He found that lies made up 14 percent of emails,21 percent of instant messages,27 percent of face-to-face interactions and an astonishing 37 percent of phone calls.

His results to be presented at the conference on humancomputer interaction in Vienna,Austria,in April,have surprised psychologists. Some expected emailers to be the biggest liars,reasoning that because deception makes people uncomfortable,the detachment (非直接接触) of emailing would make it easier to lie. Others expected people to lie more in face-to-face exchanges because we are most practised at that form of communication.

But Hancock says it is also crucial whether a conversation is being recorded and could be reread,and whether it occurs in real time. People appear to be afraid to lie when they know the communication could later be used to hold them to account,he says. This is why fewer lies appear in email than on the phone.

People are also more likely to lie in real time―in a instant message or phone call―than if they have time to think of a response,says Hancock. He found many lies are spontaneous (脱口而出的) responses to an unexpected demand,such as: "Do you like my dress?"

Hancock hopes his research will help companies work out the best ways for their employees to communicate. For instance,the phone might be the best medium for sales where employees are encouraged to stretch the truth. But,given his result,work assessment where honesty is a priority,might be best done using email.

Key West got its name when it was given a name Cayo Hueso by early Spanish explorers,who found human bones along the shore. That name was eventually developed to Key West.

In 1820,the island was bought from the Spanish for $2,000,quite a big sum in those days,and the purchaser was John Simonton,an Alabama businessman―a smart businessman,it might be added,whose name and descendants live on here and remain a powerful influence in the area.

Pirates were eventually driven out and the island's mixed population of English Bahamians,Southerners and transplanted northerners rose to 2 ,700,many of them happily engaged in the business of wrecking ships,then salvaging (打捞) the cargoes.

So profitable was that enterprising career,in fact,that one wrecker,a Bahamian named William Curry,is said to have worked his way to a million dollars,making him Florida's first millionaire and wealthy enough to buy a $100,000 Tiffany table service.

In the 1850s,however,a lighthouse was built,putting a bit of a damper on the wrecking business,and the town's industry began to change. A terrible fire destroyed the town in 1859. About the same time,cigar makers,fleeing war in Cuba,arrived in Key West,where they established a flourish industry. Key West's port was a hot spot,too,and by the 1880s,the city was said to be the wealthiest in the nation.

It was pretty much downhill from there until promoters in these Keys discovered that the real gold in these islands was incessant ( nonstop,continuous) sunshine,clear seas and iconoclastically bohemian (攻击传统观念和风俗的人) residents,all items of surpassing interest to the winterweary and the weird watchers. Thus was discovered the gold of tourism.

My eighth grade consisted of 28 classmates. We knew each other so well that most of us could distinguish each other's handwriting at a glance. Although we grew up together,we still had class outcasts. From second grade on,a small group started harassing two or three of the others. I was one of those two or three,though I didn't know why. In most cases when children get picked on,they aren't good at sports or they read too much or they wear the wrong clothes or they are of a different race. But in my class,we all read too much and didn't know how to play sports. We had also been brought up to carefully respect each other's race. This is what was so strange about my situation. Usually,people are made outcasts because they are in some way different from the larger group. But in my class,large differences did not exist. It was as if the outcasts were invented by the group out of a need for them.

The harassment came in the form of laughter when I talked,and rolled eyes when I turned around. If I was out on the playground and approached a group of people,they often fell silent. Sometimes,someone would not see me coming and I would catch the tail end of a joke at my expense.

There was another girl in our class who was perhaps even more rejected than I. She provided the group with a lot of material for jokes. One day one popular girl came up to me to show me something she said I wouldn't want to miss. We walked to a corner of the playground. Three or four girls there were reading aloud from a small book,which I was told was the girl's diary.

I sat down and,laughing till my sides hurt,heard my voice finally mixed with the others. Often being accepted by others is more satisfying than being accepted by oneself,even though the satisfaction does not last. Looking back,I wonder how I could have participated in making fun of this girl when I knew perfectly well how it felt. If I were in that situation today I would react differently,but I can't honestly be sure.

( ) 1. The author was made an outcast because .

A. she couldn't play sports as well as others

B. her family belonged to a minority group

C. her classmates found her clothes funny

D. her classmates needed to find an outcast

( ) 2. How was the author treated as an outcast?

A. She was often the target of teasing.

B. No one responded to her talking.

C. She was refused to approach others.

D. Her diary was often made public.

( ) 3. What did the author do to the girl mentioned in Paragraph 3?

A. She showed great sympathy with the girl.

B. She joined others in making fun of the girl.

C. She stopped the others from hurting the girl.

D. She found more materials about the girl for jokes.

( ) 4. What does the passage intend to tell us?

A. Everyone is likely to become an outcast.

B. We shouldn't hit a person when he is down.

C. One should pay somebody back in his own way.

D. Everyone has a desire to be accepted by others.

The farm economy of the United States has changed a lot in the last seventy years. In the nineteen thirties,twentyfive percent of the nation's population lived on farms. Today less than one percent of Americans do.

Farm incomes have changed over the years too. For example,in nineteen thirtythree,people living and working on farms had much less money to spend than other Americans. At that time,farm families had about onethird the income of nonfarmers after all necessary expenses had been paid. By the late nineteen seventies,however,that difference had almost disappeared.

In two thousand four,farmers had their best year ever. The United States Department of Agriculture says the average farm family earned about eightyone thousand dollars. That is more than the average American family,which earned about sixty thousand dollars.

Yet these numbers do not completely explain the situation for all farmers. Those who have small farms often take other jobs to earn extra income. And farm earnings for large farms grew faster than for small ones.

The Department of Labor measures the pay of industrial workers differently. It measures the average hourly and weekly pay for industrial workers. This is because factory workers are generally paid by the hour unlike farmers who earn income from their farm businesses.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics says the average hourly pay for all private industrial workers is about sixteen dollars. The B. L. S. says average weekly pay for all industrial workers is about five hundred fifty dollars. But that is an average. Workers can earn as much as twice the average or as little as half of it depending on the industry in which they work.

Industrial workers are about twentythree percent of the labor force. But that number has been decreasing. Most Americans have jobs that provide services. Professional,technical and other services employ about seventysix percent of the labor force.

( ) 1. What is the topic discussed in the passage?

A. Agriculture developments in America.

B. Pay for farmers compared with that of industrial workers.

C. The living conditions for farmers and workers in America.

D. How to measure the income of the American farmers.

( ) 2. What is the main idea of the second paragraph?

A. There is no difference between farmers' pay and that of workers.

B. Farmers used to have less incomes than workers.

C. Farmers' incomes have changed a lot.

D. Farmers and workers are equal in society.

( ) 3. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

A. Farmers in America can live better than the workers in cities.

B. The farmers are less in America because they can earn more outside.

C. Farmers sometimes can earn more than the average income in US.

D. It is hard to know the incomes of the farmers.

( ) 4. We can infer from the passage that .

A. farmers' incomes will increase a lot

B. it is hard to compare farm pay with industrial pay

C. the number of industrial workers is decreasing

D. every worker in America can earn about 550 dollars a week

10. Cutting large sections of rainforests may provide a good supply of wood right now,but it actually reduces the world's wood supply.

A. as a rule B. on the whole

C. in the long run D. what's more
