【题目】 Recently a new network word “ghost” is popular on line, which refers to a sort of Internet social behavior that your net friends or loved ones don't answer your online messages or phones on purpose as if leaving the earth. Thus you often wonder whether those chatters are ghosts or pretending to be dead. This behavior is called ghosting in the English world, which means “playing with disappearance ”

"Ghost” is better known as a noun referring to spirits of the dead, but "ghost” used as a verb which means "to disappear suddenly like a ghost", or "play with disappearancew is relatively unknown. Finally, owing to its high using frequency on line , this usage has been added to the Oxford Dictionary of Contemporary English.

Playing with disappearance or ghosting also has different grades. Wendy Walsh, a professor of psychology from Boston University told us, There are different grades of ghosting: If you just read on social software but never answer, you are only a lightweight ghosting player if you meet a person several times but try to avoid him , you are an ordinary ghosting player if you let your partner fall in love with you, but you suddenly disappear , which will give the other a heavy blow, you are a heavyweight ghosting player. ”

Why are some people accustomed to this kind of escapist social behavior? The Times reports that ghosting has a lot to do with how comfortable people feel and how they deal with their emotions. When they are in a complex interpersonal relationship, or it is too heavy for their weak mind to carry, they will have to choose to escape.

When you find yourself being ghosted, you may lose your self-respect, question yourself, or even hesitate to start the next friendship or love. How to get out of this emotional trouble? It's important to remember that when you're ghosted, it's the other's fault rather than yours. In addition, its good to risk telling others how you really feel, even if it's not what they want to hear. Have you ever been ghosted? What do you think of this way of dealing with a relationship?

1Which sort of the following Internet social behavior can be described as ghosting?

A.Leaving your friend after a quarrel.

B.Love breaking up after a fight.

C.Not replying to net friends on purpose.

D.Missing after getting friends' money.

2According to professor Walsh, if you just read but never reply online, you are a( n) player.

A.heavyweight ghostingB.non-ghosting

C.ordinary ghostingD.lightweight ghosting

3Which paragraph tells us the reasons why people are used to ghosting?

A.Paragraph 2.B.Paragraph 3.C.Paragraph 4.D.Paragraph 5.

4How should you deal with it when you are ghosted according to the writer?

【题目】Directions:Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point (s) of the passage in no more than 60 -words. Use your own words as far as possible.

One day, a poor boy who was trying to pay his way through school by selling goods door to door found that: he only had one clime left. He was hungry so he decided to beg for a meal at the next house.

However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked hungry so she brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then asked“How much do I owe you?”

“You don’t owe me anything,” she replied. “Mother has taught me never to accept pay for a kindness.” He said, “Then I thank you from the bottom of my heart. ” As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt stronger physically, but it also increased his faith in God and the human race. He was about to give up and quit before this point.

Years later the young woman became critically ill. The local doctors were baffled. They finally sent her to the big city, where specialists could be called in to study her rare disease. Dr. Howard Kelly, now famous, was called in for the consultation. When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes. Immediately, he rose and went down through the hospital hall into her room.

Dressed in his doctor’s gown he went in to see her. He recognized her at once. He went back to the consultation room and determined to do his best to save her life. From that day on, he gave special attention to her case.

After a long struggle, the battle was won. Dr. Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval. He looked at it and then wrote something on the side. The bill was sent to her room. She was afraid to open it because she was positive that it would take the rest of her life to pay it off. Finally she looked, and the note on the side of the bill caught her attention. She read these words...

“Paid in full with a glass of milk.

(Signed) Dr. Howard Kelly”

Tears of joy flooded her eyes as she prayed silently“Thank you, God. Your love has spread through human hearts and hands.”
