6．When I was a little girl，my mother told me to wait for the light to turn green before I crossed the street．This I did．Indeed，I was positive as a young child that I would get crushed like a potato if I ever stepped a foot off the sidewalk while the light was red．I followed my mother's advice until I realized that she herself went through red lights always pulling me with her．So after a while I followed her example and not her advice．
And this was just part of the story．I was out of high school before the picture began to pull together．I absorbed the knowledge little by little through the years．And me，my friends and I，did come to take it for granted．Parents were that way．Older people were that way．And most of us accepted it as part of life．
Now I am grown up and I have my own children．For the longest time I pulled my little daughter across the middle of the street-just like my mother used to do-warning her，"Don't do this when I'm not with you．"
Webster says such behavior is hypocrisy（虚伪），that is，pretending to be better than we are．Is this because we always want to be better？Or only that we want to fool people into thinking that we are？When we practice a religion which causes a concern for our fellow men，do we purposefully march out of church and refuse to rent an apartment to a black family？Or do we all live on two tracks because we have，somewhere along the line，come to the conclusion that such hypocrisy is essential to our survival in soc iety at this time？
33．The writer mainly talks aboutBin the passage．
A．safety education for children               
B．some of her understanding of life
C．the lack of traffic rules                   
D．essential survival skills

The Film：The Great Gatsby     （Based on Fitzgerald's Novel The Great Gatsby ）
Director：Baz Luhrmann        Cast：Leonardo DiCaprio as Jay Gatsby
Film Reviews：
If you never read the classic F．Scott Fitzgerald's novel The Great Gatsby，now is your chance to catch up-by watching the latest film adaptation．Because if there's one sentence to sum up the film，it would be：It's just like the book．
The use of music is almost reason enough to see the film．Baz Luhrmann is at his best mixing visual and musical styles together to create something wholly original，for example，in one of the most outstanding scenes in the film，the first party scene，Nick walks quickly from one party guest to another party guest trying to explain all the gossip about Gatsby until he is finally introduced to the man himself，while the most stirring version of Rhapsody in Blue （蓝色狂想曲），which was composed by American musician George Gershwin in 1924，is played in the background．
─Fox News
Director Baz Luhrmann's main challenge was either to find a visual equivalent （相等物） for Fitzgerald's elegant quality--the open secret of the book's popularity for so long time-or to match his own unusual personal strengths with the material．He tries it both ways，with considerable degrees of success．
DiCaprio does a good and professional job as the socialite （上流社会人士） by recreating Fitzgerald's description of Gatsby's charm．He can look at someone for an instant and understand how，perfectly，he or she wants to be seen．
─Time Magazine
About the Book and the Main Character：
Considered to be Fitzgerald's representative work，The Great Gatsby explores themes of idealism，resistance to change，social change，and excess，creating a portrait of the Jazz Age or the Roaring Twenties that has been described as a tale regarding the American Dream．
Nick，the narrator，moves to New York for the summer to visit his cousin Daisy．His next-door neighbor is Jay Gatsby （Leonardo DiCaprio），who rarely contacts with others and is said to be a hero of the Great War．Gatsby claims to have attended Oxford University，but the evidence is suspect．As Nick learns more about Gatsby，every detail about him seems questionable，except his love for the Daisy．Though Daisy is married，Gatsby still loves her as his"golden girl"．They first met when she was a young lady from a wealthy family and he was a working-class military officer．Daisy promised to wait for his return from the war．However，she married Tom，a classmate of Nick's．Having obtained a great fortune，Gatsby sets out to win her back again．
60．The Fox News review mentioned the first party scene in the film toC．
A．reveal the fact that Nick wants to know more about Gatsby
B．show the version of Rhapsody in Blue matches the film well
C．prove that the director is good at combining visual and music
D．convince us that the first scene is perfectly shot by the director
61．According to Time Magazine，what did Baz Luhrmann do to make the film a success？C
A．He adapted the story in the novel as he wished．
B．He made the film more powerful than the book．
C．He mixed his style with the elegance of the book．
D．He changed the story to meet his own style．
62．Which of the following can be used to describe Gatsby？D
A．Faithful and warm-hearted．
B．Charming and professional．
C．Selfish and charming．
D．Mysterious and devoted．
2．代替，取代．replace．

11．It was a cold winter．The wind blew all night and the snow was blinding．When morning came，my three children and I got up and made our way to the windows facing north．The wind blew hard from the west，and the snow made it har d for us to see the henhouse．
As we looked out the window，we saw that the henhouse was gone．Our three hens had been blown away by the cold wind．
I looked at the emptiness outside．Then I saw all three chickens sat around the edge of a white bucket．I couldn't believe my eyes!How was this violent wind not blowing them into the field beyond？I threw open the back room closet door and pulled on my husband Roger's long snow pants and heavy winter coat．
I pulled the hood up，wrapped a scarf around my neck and stuck my feet into Roger's very large boots．
I shouted at the wind as it blew．I was alone，save for my children．They stared out the window into the vast white sea of snow，their eyes peeled for any sign of movement．
Outside I heard the sound of my boots as I walked against the wind．This wind was strong．
Getting to the'white，almost invisible bucket was difficult．
As the snow circled around me，I steadily made my way to the soft cluck-cluck-cluck sound my hens always made．When I reached them，I saw that their little feet were holding on to the edge of the bucket，heads bent forward and away from the wind．
I quickly unzipped Roger's heavy coat，gently lifted each hen and put it carefully into the warm inside．Then I began the freezing walk back to the small shed directly behind our house．
The doors to the shed were difficult to open，but somehow I managed to pull them apart．One by one I laid my chickens on the cold floor，and they began to cluck softly．
As I shut the shed doors，my eyes went directly to the window where my children were watching．They jumped up and down cheering，and so did I!
