Today we had an American family, the Robinsons, for Sunday dinner. Mr. Robinson is my mother’s co-worker.
Mr. and Mrs. Robinson and their two young       came at about 6:00 PM. Mrs. Robinson gave Mum a bunch of fresh flowers,      color,freshness and their good will. Mum did the       and it was left to ourselves to get to know each other. I soon      on well with the two girls Judy and Annie.
Mrs. Robinson was much         than her husband. There was a moment of embarrassment when Granny asked about her       . Mum was about to apologize   Mrs. Robinson laughed and said it was quite all right and that she had been in     long enough to know it was the Chinese custom. She       told us that she was 32, though her husband was 52.
And of course they entirely       the dinner. Like a perfect Chinese hostess, Mum and especially Granny       stuffing(填) them with food and urging them to eat and to drink, apologizing all the time that it’s a homely meal.       , Mrs. Robinson said to Mum, “In the West any hostess would be proud of such a feast instead of apologizing for it, and we don’t urge the guests to eat or drink.       so many good things before me, I certainly don’t need any urging. The problem is how to prevent     overeating owing to your keeping putting food into my bowl.” We

When they       to leave, they thanked us not only for the excellent dinner, but for giving them such a nice      . Besides, they insisted on giving every one of us a hug and a       , which did embarrass me. But I think Granny was really    when they kissed her.

During a state of deep relaxation, several physiological changes take place in the body: the body’s oxygen consumption is reduced; the heart beat decreases; muscle tension and sweating ease, and there is decreased sympathetic (交感的) nervous system activity.This restful state not only allows the body to repair and restore itself, but it has a calming effect on the consciousness.
How to achieve this state of relaxation, however, is a matter of opinion, and in some medical circles, a matter of controversy.A recent report by Dr.David Holmes of the University of Kansas in the journal “American psychologist” said that simply sitting in an armchair has just as many beneficial characteristics for the body as meditation (冥想) does.Researchers of other relaxation techniques disagree.These experts believe that more structured techniques, such as meditation, lead to a condition of deep relaxation.
The debate goes on, but one thing appears to be clear: the relaxation response can be reached by a number of methods, and the methods themselves are not as important as getting there.One day, one method may work best; on another day, an alternative method may be more appropriate.Once you are aware of all the methods, you can find the one that works best on you.
Some of the relaxation techniques are meditation, auto analysis and progressive muscle relaxation response.More than just sitting quietly in a chair, they have the added benefit of structure and discipline, and for these reasons appear to be more effective for most individuals.
小题1:According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true when a person is in a state of deep relaxation?
A.The body takes in less oxygen.
B.The heart beats less frequently.
C.Muscles become tense and the body sweats easily.
D.The consciousness becomes more or less calmed.
小题2:People seem to agree that ____.
A.sitting in an armchair benefits a person as meditation does
B.structured relaxation techniques are more beneficial for a person
C.to achieve a state of deep relaxation is possible through various means
D.what people are all struggling for is a state of deep relaxation
小题3:In the third paragraph, the phrase “getting there” means _____.
A.arriving at one’s destination
B.getting what one wants most
C.finding out a suitable relaxation technique
D.reaching a state of deep relaxation
小题4:The author’s attitude toward relaxation discussed in the passage is best described as ______.
A.scepticalB.objectiveC.optimistic D.critical
It was the beginning of a new term. As a(n)   36  teacher in that school, I didn’t know any of the students. A little girl was   37  at the gate of the classroom. She looked very   38 .
I walked up to her and asked   39  she stood there. But she said   40 . Instead, a boy shouted, “She is from Grade Four, the   41  student in her grade.” I looked at the little girl, who didn’t seem to be the smart kind. I   42  why her teacher asked her to stay in Grade Three. I took her hand and   43  her into the classroom.
“Sit here. Now you are my student and I’m your teacher,” I said. She   44  said nothing, but she burst into tears.
I later learnt that her parents   45  in a car accident, and she had   46  talking to others since then. She learnt very   47 . I gave her respect and never   48  her as I know everybody deserves (值得) respect. I   49  her after school, and she was making   50  little by little. I encouraged her and as   51  went by, she was not as shy as before. At the end of the term, she seemed to have forgotten all her   52 . She was not one of the best students when she left that school,   53  at least, she was not that shy and sad little girl any longer.
In the following   54 , she would send me a card on each Thanksgiving Day. Three days ago, I received a(n)   55  to her wedding. And now, I am at her wedding, and she is smiling brightly.
Everyone deserves respect and everyone can be happy!

The    3  was that I’d completely forgotten about it. I   4    , “Is there anything else I’ve done wrong, but didn’t apologized for?”
Again, his   5   was immediate, “Remember last Christmas when Mom said you had to go to the  6   because Stephen was going to be born? You left us at home and  7       in a hurry. Remember?”
“Well, you left and forgot the suitcase.” I couldn’t believe he  8    all the details! “After you came back from the hospital you were  9   . When you got home, the suitcase had been opened and everythinghad been thrown all over the place, and you   10  me.”
“And you didn’t do it?” I asked.

My heart sank. I felt  11   . I hugged Keith and asked him to  12    me. His Honesty made me think of our other son, Kevin. Maybe I’d hurt his feelings, too. I went to ask him the same question.

Though Christmas had passed, I took my two sons to the store that day and bought them what I had promised. The  14   thing wasn’t the toy. The problem was I’d made a promise too  15    and didn’t keep it as their father.

What exactly is a lie ?Is it anything we say which we know is untrue ?Or is it something more than that ?For example, suppose a friend wants to borrow some money from you. You say “I wish I could help you, but I am short of money myself.” In fact , you are not short of money but your friend is in the habit of not paying his debts and you don’t want to hurt his feelings by reminding him of this. Is this really a lie ?
Professor Jerald Jellison of the University of southern California has made a scientific study of lying. According to him, women are better liars than men, particularly when telling a “white lie”, such as when a woman at a party tells another woman that she likes her dress when she really thinks it’s terrible. However, this is only one side of the story. Other researchers say that men are more likely to tell more serious lies, such as making a promise that they have no intention of carrying out. This is the kind of lie politicians and businessmen are supposed to be particularly skilled at :the lie from which the liar hopes to profit or gain in some way.
Research has been done into the way people’s behavior changes in a number of small, unimportant ways when they lie. It has been found that if they are sitting down at the time, they tend to move about in their chairs more than usual. To the trained observer they are saying “I wish I were somewhere else now”. They also tend to touch certain parts of the face, particularly the nose. One explanation of this may be that lying causes a slight increase in blood pressure. The tip of the nose  is very sensitive to changes and the increased pressure makes it itch.
Another gesture that gives liars away is what the writer Decmond Morris in his book Man Watching calls the “mouth cover”. He says that there are several typical forms of this ,such as covering part of the mouth with the fingers, touching the upper lip or putting a finger of the hand at one side off the mouth. Such a gesture can be understood as an unconscious(未察觉的) attempt on the part of the liar to stop himself from lying.
Of course, such gestures as rubbing the nose or covering the mouth , moving about in a chair can not be taken as proof that the speaker is lying. They simply tend to happen more often in this situation. It is one gesture alone that gives the liar away but a whole number of things , and in particular the context(上下文) which the lie is told.
小题1:According to the passage, a white lie seems to be a lie ______.

C.told in order not to hurt someone’s feelings

D.lie at parties more often than men do

A.his blood pressure increases measurably
B.he looks very serious
C.he is likely to make some small changes in his behavior
D.he uses his unconscious mind
小题4:The writer of the passage______.
A.hates lyingB.enjoys lyingC.often tells a lieD.tries to study about lying
小题5:Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage as a sign of lying ?
A.Touching one’s earsB.Rubbing the nose
C.Moving in a chairD.Covering the mouth
Mr Brown was going away for a week. Before he left, he said to his son, "if anyone asks for me, you can tell him that your father has been out for doing something, and will be back in a week, then be sure to ask him to sit down for a cup of tea."
"OK, Dad," said his son. But he was afraid his son couldn't remember this, he wrote these words down on a piece of paper and gave it to him. His son put it into his small pocket, took it out and looked at it now and then.
Four days passed, but no one came to see his father. The boy thought that there was no man to come and that the piece of paper was of no more use for him, so he burnt it that evening.

The boy put his hand into his pocket at once and looked for the piece of paper. He could not find it. He suddenly remembered he had burnt it, so he shouted, "No more."

By the time a student starts to apply (申请) for a US university, much of his or her record, including grades and after-school activities, has been set in stone. For this reason, the student must in his or her first year of high school start getting ready for college. He or she also has to decide on the non-academic (非学业的) tasks, which are important to improve the student’s chances of getting in.
1. After-school activities
When it comes to high school activities, quality is better than quantity (数量). Admissions (录取) officers do not want to see a student who has joined dozens of organizations (组织) for a short period of time.
Many students try to do this towards the end of their high school. But schools want to see a student who has been with one organization for all or most of high school. A student who can do this shows maturity (成熟). It is the quality that admissions officers look for as it is one of the markers of future success.
2. Leadership
Schools want to see a student who has taken on a leadership role in an organization. A student can show leadership by taking on any role that needs extra commitment (奉献) and responsibility.
If you do not have a great title (头衔) such as president, be sure to explain any leadership roles you have taken. This kind of involvement (参与) in school activities shows you are the responsible person that admissions officers look for.
3. Consistency (一致性)
Admissions officers like an application (申请) to be consistent. For example if there is a high school activity you particularly (特别地) love, it would help if that activity matches your future academic and career interest.
Of course not everything needs to be consistent. Otherwise (否则) the student would be narrow and this is not what schools are looking for. However, you cannot have different parts of your application saying conflicting (矛盾的) things.
小题1:Who was the article written for?
A.US college students hoping to study in China.
B.Chinese college students hoping to study in the US.
C.Third year high school students hoping to study in the US.
D.Teenagers hoping to study in the US.
小题2:The underlined phrase "set in stone" in Paragraph 1 probably means ______.
A.made clearB.something unchangeable
C.become obviousD.at the right level(水平)
小题3:The author’s suggestion is to ______.
A.try as many different organizations as possible
B.start planning for college at the beginning of high school
C.make everything in an application consistent
D.put non-academic tasks before academic tasks
小题4:According to the article, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A.Students should choose after-school activities they have great interest in.
B.It’s already too late for first year students to apply for a US university.
C.It is necessary for a student to be a president if he/she is to apply for a US university.
D.Students should concentrate on just one activity in high school.
This brief book is aimed at high school students, but speaks to anyone learning at any stage of life.
Its formal, serious style closely matches its content, a school-masterly book on schooling.The author, W.H.Armstrong, starts with the basics: reading and writing.In his opinion, reading doesn’t just mean recognizing each word on the page; it means taking in the information, digesting it and incorporating it into oneself just as digests a sandwich and makes it a part of himself.The goal is to bring the information back to life, not just to treat it as dead facts on paper from dead trees.Reading and writing cannot be completely separated from each other; in fact, the aim of reading is to express the information you have got from the text.I’ve seen it again and again: someone who can’t express an idea after reading a text is just as ineffective as someone who hasn’t read it at all.
Only a third of the book remains after that discussion, which Armstrong devotes to specific tips for studying languages, math, science and history.He generally handles these topics thoroughly(透彻地) and equally, except for some weakness in the science and math sections and a bit too much passion(激情) regarding history.Well, he was a history teacher — if conveyed only a tenth of his passion to his students, that was a hundred times more than my history teachers ever got across.To my disappointment, in this part of the book he ignores the arts.As a matter of fact, they demand all the concentration and study that math and science do, though the study differs slightly in kind.Although it’s commonly believed that the arts can only be naturally acquired, actually, learning the arts is no more natural than learning French or mathematics.
My other comment is that the text aged.The first edition apparently dates to the 1960s — none of the references(参考文献)seem newer than the late 1950s.As a result, the discussion misses the entire computer age.
These are small points, though, and don’t affect the main discussion.I recommend it to any student and any teacher, including the self-taught student.
小题1:According to Armstrong, the goal of reading is to________.
A.gain knowledge and expand one’s view
B.understand the meaning between the lines
C.express ideas based on what one has read
D.get information and keep it alive in memory
小题2:The author of the passage insists that learning the arts_________.
A.requires great effortsB.demands real passion
C.is less natural than learning mathsD.is as natural as learning a language
小题3:What is a shortcoming of Armstrong’s work according to the author?
A.Some ideas are slightly contradictory.
B.There is too much discussion on studying science.
C.The style is too serious.
D.It lacks new information.
小题4:This passage can be classified as________.
A.an advertisementB.a book review
C.a feature story D.a news report
