A
I took the bus to work for many years. No one knew each other; the passengers all sat there sleepily in the morning. The bus was cheerless and silent.
One of the passengers was a small gray-haired man who took the bus to the centre for senior citizens every morning. No one ever paid very much at?tention to him.
One July morning he said good morning to the driver and smiled. The driver nodded guardedly(谨慎地).The rest of us were silent.
The next day, the old man boarded with a big smile and said in a loud voice： "A very good morning to you all!" Some of us looked up， amazed, and murmured "Good morning. ，， in reply.
The following weeks, our friend was dressed in a nice old suit and tie. His thin hair had been carefully combed. He said good morning to us every day and we gradually began to nod and talk to each other.
One morning he even had a bunch of wild flowers in his hand. The driver turned around smilingly and asked ： " Have you got yourself a girl?friend, Charlie?" We never got to know if his name really was "Charlie", but he nodded shyly and said yes. The other passengers whistled and clapped at him. Charlie waved the flowers before he sat down on his seat.
Every morning after that Charlie always brought flowers. Some pas?sengers also brought flowers for him. The bus became a happy place.
Then, one morning, as autumn was closing in, Charlie wasn't waiting at his usual stop. When he wasn't there the next day and the day after that. we started wondering if he was sick or―hopefully―on holiday somewhere.
When we came nearer to the centre for senior citizens, one of the pas?sengers asked the driver to wait. We all held our breaths when he went to the door.
The old gentle man was fine, but one of his close friends had died over the weekend. How silent we were the rest of the way to work.
The next Monday Charlie was waiting at the stop, stooping (弯腰）a bit more, a little bit more gray, and without a tie. Inside the bus was si?lent. Even though no one had talked about it, all of us sat there silently, our eyes filled with tears and a bunch of wild flowers in our hands.

An expert suggested that certain criminals should be sent to prison in their own home. When the scheme was first put forward publicly，many people opposed it or had serious reserva?tions about it. One very experienced social worker opposed the scheme in a television interview. When asked to explain the basis for his opposition，he thought for a moment and finally con?fessed, "Well,I guess, because it's new. That's my only reason.”
Advocates of the scheme pointed out that courts frequently sentenced first offenders to com?munity service of some kind rather than send them to prison. The stigma of having a criminal re?cord was an adequate deterrent, and nothing positive was achieved by sending some types of convicted people to prison.
Some critics rushed to take extreme cases. "If a murderer is allowed free in the community like this,what is to prevent him from killing somebody else?" This argument ignored the fact that nobody proposed to allow convicted murderers to use the bracelet system. One criticism put forward was that an offender could take off his bracelet and leave it at home or give it to a friend to wear while he himself wet off to commit another crime. The reply to this was that the bracelet would be made so that the computer would immediately detect any attempts to take it off or tamper with it.
A more serious objection to the scheme was that the harsh life of prison was intended to be part of the deterrent to crime. A prisoner who was allowed to live at home would suffer no parti- cular discomfort and thus not be deterred from repeating his crime. No immediate action was taken on the proposal. It was far too revolutionary and needed to be examined very carefully. However, the idea was not rejected. Several governments appointed experts to investigate the scheme and make recommendations for or against it. ( ) 5. People's opinions are divided on the suggestion that
A. some criminals should serve their terms at home
B. social workers can express themselves on TV
C. first offenders should be sentenced to community service
D. old offenders should be imprisoned
( ) 6. A social worker opposed the proposal for the reason that
A. it is unique B. it is creative
C. it is novel D. it is out-of-date
( ) 7. The supporters of the scheme will probably agree that
A. the hard life of prison may prevent some people from repeating a crime
B. the life at home is too comfortable for the prisoners
C. high-technology should be deterrent to crime
D. imprisonment will not achieve much to some offenders ( ) 8. The prospect of the advice is that
A. it will be put into practice immediately
B. it will be declined by the government
C. it will be further carefully looked into
D. it will be confirmed by appointed experts
The medical world is gradually realizing that the quality of the environment in hospitals may play a significant role in the process of recovery from illness.
As part of a nationwide effort in Britain to bring art out of the galleries(画廊)and into pub?lic places, some of the country's most gifted artists have been called in to change older hospitals and to soften the hard edges of modern buildings. Of the 2 ， 500 National Health Service hospitals in Britain, almost 100 now have significant collections of modern art in corridors(走道)，waiting areas and treatment rooms.
These recent initiatives(new plans) owe a great deal to one artist,Peter Senior, who set up his studio at a Manchester Hospital in Northeastern England during the early 1970s. He felt the artist had lost his place in modern society, and that art should be enjoyed by a wider audience.
A common hospital waiting room might have as many as 5 ，000 visitors each week. What a better place to hold regular exhibitions of art and paintings，in the outpatients waiting area of the Manchester Royal Hospital in 1975. Believed to be Britain's first hospital artist,Senior was so much in demand that he was soon joined by a team of six young art school graduations.
The effect is striking. Now in the corridors and waiting rooms, the visitor experiences a full view of fresh colors, playful images and restful courtyard.
The quality of the environment may reduce the need for expense when a patient is recovering from an illness. A study has shown that patients who had a view onto a garden nee?ded half the number of strong painkillers compared with patients who had no view at all or only a brick wall to look at.
( ) 5. What does the author mean by using the phrase "to soften the hard edge of modern buildings" in the second paragraph?
A. To hold exhibitions of art and paintings in hospitals.
B. To tear down the old hospital and build a new one.
C. To decorate hospitals with art collection.
D. To paint the walls of hospitals in soft colors.
( ) 6. What is true about Peter Senior?
E. A famous doctor in Manchester Hospital and a gifted artist.
F. Britain's first hospital artist and a patient in Manchester Royal Hospital.
G. One of the six young art school graduations.
H. A gifted artist and a pioneer introducing art into hospitals. ( ) 7. According to Peter Senior,we can infer that
A. modern hospitals have a lot of patients
B. art is hot appreciated by a large number of people in modern society
C. patients should be encouraged to learn painting
D. artists can not find their positions in modern society
( ) 8. What does the last paragraph suggest?
A. The improvement of hospital environment may help the patients recover from illness.
B. The improvement of hospital environment may be more effective than the medical treatment.
C. The hard wall of the hospital worsens the patients.
D. The patients would suffer from no pain at all after they had a longer view onto the garden.
If you ask people to name the one person who had the greatest effect on the English lan?guage ,you will get answers like ilShakespeare" "Samuel Johnson" and "Webster", but none of these men had any effect at all compared to a man who didn't even speak English―William the Conqueror.
Before 1066 ，in the land we now call Great Britain lived people belonging to two major language groups. In the west-central region were the Welsh, who spoke a Celtic language, and in the north lived the Scots, whose language, thought not the same as Welsh, was also Celtic. In the rest of the country lived the Saxons, actually a mixture of Anglos, Saxons, and other Germanic and Nordic peoples, who spoke what we now call Anglo-Saxon (or Old English) ，a Germanic language. If this state of affairs had lasted, English today would be close to German.
But this state of affairs did not last. In 1066 the Normans led by William defeated the Sax?ons and began their rule over England. For about a century, French became the official language of England while Old English became the language of peasants. As a result, English words of politics and the law come from French rather than German. In some cases, modern English even shows a distinction(区别) between upper-class French and lower-class Anglo-Saxon in its words. We even have different words for some foods, meat in particular, depending on whether it is still out in the fields or at home ready to be cooked，which shows the fact that the Saxon peasants were doing farming,while the upper-class Normans were doing most of the eating.
When Americans visit Europe for the first time,they usually find Germany more "foreign" than France because the German they see on signs and advertisements seems much more different from English than French does. Few realize that the English language is actually Germanic in its beginning and that the French influences are all the result of one man's ambition. ( ) 5. The two major languages spoken in what is now called Great Britain before 1066 were
A. Welsh and Scottish B. Nordic and Germanic
C. Celtic and Old English D. Anglo-Saxon and Germanic
( ) 6. Which of the following groups of words are,by inference, rooted in French?
A. President, lawyer, beef. B. President, bread, water.
C. Beard,field,sheep. D. Folk,field, cow.
( ) 7. Why does France appear less foreign than Germany to Americans on their first visit to Europe?
A. Most advertisements in France appear in English.
B. They know little of the history of the English language.
C. Many French words are similar to English ones.
D. They know French better than German.
( ) 8. What may be the best title of the passage, according to what you have read?
A. The History of Great Britain
B. The Similarity between English and French
C. The Rule of England by William the Conqueror
D. The French Influences on the English Language
