2.On Jan.3,a netizen(网民)nicknamed"Programmer Humor"published a short story on his micro-blog.It said that there was an old lady who swept nearly every inch of his Internet company.When she passed by a programmer,she took a look at the codes on the programmer's computer and kindly reminded him,"Be careful,the stack is overfilled!"
Certainly,it is a casual and fictitious(虚构的)story made up by the micro-blogger.However,no one would have guessed that the short blog would eventually cause the first great Internet meme(网络快速爆红现象) of 2011in China.Suddenly,the mysterious"Sweeping Old Lady"is showing up nearly everywhere and reminding professionals of their mistakes.From 8a.m.on Jan.5,some netizens collected stories of the"Sweeping Old Lady"and found she had appeared to give advice in 150kinds of careers.A netizen even said he had met with a similar situation in real life.
Actually,the"Sweeping Old Lady"is not new figure,but is based on the"sweeping monk(和尚)"in Louis Cha's famous Kung fu novel of"Tian Long Ba Bu".The"sweeping monk"is an old monk and does the lowest class of work in Shaolin Temple,but he is actually the No.1master in the noel both in Kung fu and in the study of Buddhism.
The"Sweeping Old Lady"is also a great modest master.Lots of netizens wish that they could have such a lady beside them to give them precious suggestions at a key time.
Although there may be 1,000"Sweeping Old Ladies"in 1,000people's minds,it cannot prevent the"Sweeping Old Lady"from becoming the most popular figure on the Internet.
"Programmer Humor"said he is just a programmer in the real world and once he saw the story about the"Sweeping Old Lady,"he wrote it down in his miero-blog because it was funny.He never knew who the original writer of the story was and never thought the story could be so popular.

A.Honest and knowledgeable.B.Modest and patient.
C.Modest and knowledgeable.D.Honest and patient.

12.More surprising,perhaps,than the present difficulties of traditional marriage is the fact that marriage itself is a live and thriving.As Skolnick notes,Americans are a marrying people:relative to Europeans,more of us marry and we marry at a younger age.Moreover,after a drop in the early l915s,the rate of marriage in the United States is now increasing.Even the divorce rate needs to be taken in this pro-marriage context:some 30 percent of divorced individuals remarry.Thus,marriage remains by far the preferred way of life for the vast majority of people in our society.
What has changed more than marriage is the nuclear family.Twenty five years ago,the typical American family was made up of a husband,a wife,and two or three children.Now,there are many marriages in which couples have decided not to have    children.Now there are many marriages in which couples have decided not to have any children.And there are many marriages where at least some of the children are from the wife's former marriage,or the husband's,or both.Sometimes these children spend all of their time with one parent from the former marriage;sometimes they are shared between the two former spouses(配偶).
Thus,one can find every type of family arrangement.There are marriages without children;marriages with children from only the present marriage;marriages with"full time"children from both the present and former marriages;marriages with"full time"children from the present marriage and"part time",children from former marriages.There are stepfathers,stepmothers,half brothers,and half sisters.It is not all that unusual for a child to have four parents and eight grandparents!These are great changes from the traditional nuclear family.But even so,even in the midst of all this,there remains one constant:Most Americans spend most of their adult lives married.

48.Which of the following can be presented as the picture of today's American families?A

B.A typical American family is made up of only a husband and a wife.

A.spend some of their time with their half brothers and some of their time with their   half sisters

13.Riding a London subway,a person from other countries will notice one major difference:in London,people do not look at each other.In fact,eye contact is avoided at all times.That's not rudeness-people are just too busy to bother looking.
Busy doing what,you ask?Well,they're certainly not using the time for a moment of quiet thinking.Nor are they reading a book.New technology has replaced quiet habits.Today the only acceptable form of book on the London Underground is an e-book.
Apple must earn a fortune from London commuters.Since the launch of the iPhone in 2007,over 40,000-yes,that's 40,000-"apps"(programs downloaded for the iPhone) have been designed.
Commuters love them because they are the perfect time-fillers.One"app",called iShoot,is a game that features tanks(坦克).Another one,Tube Exits,tells passengers where to sit on the train to be closest to the exit of their destination.ISteam clouds the iPhone screen when you breathe into the microphone.You can then write in the"steam"on your phone screen.
For those without an iPhone,another Apple product,the iPod,may be the distraction(消遣)of choice.It's not just teenagers who"plug in"to their music-iPods are a popular way to pass the time for all ages.
And if games,e-books and music aren't enough to keep you occupied,then perhaps you would prefer a film.The development of palm DVD technology means many commuters watch their favorite TV show or film on the way to work.With all these distractions,it's amazing that people still remember to get off the train.

64.Commuters on a London subway don't make eye contact becauseD.
A.the British are usually shy on the train     
B.the British law doesn't allow them to do so
C.they are busy working on their laptops
D.they are busy enjoying high-tech distractions
65.All the following belong to"apps"exceptC.
A.iShoot       B.Tube Exits   C.iPod   D.iSteam
66.IShoot features a function ofA.
A.war games   B.listening   C.writing   D.guiding
67.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?B
A.Seeing you have these time-fillers,other commuters usually hesitate to bother you.
B.Apple must have made much money by selling their products to commuters.
C.IPod is not popular with the commuters of old age in London.
D.With the time-fillers,commuters usually miss their destinations.

12.A friend of mine named Paul received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present.On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office,a street urchin (顽童) was walking around the shining car."Is this your car,Paul?"he asked.
Paul answered,"Yes,my brother gave it to me for Christmas."The boy was surprised."You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn't cost you anything?Boy,I wish…"He hesitated(犹豫).
Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for.He was going to wish he had a brother like that.But what the boy said surprised Paul greatly.
"I wish,"the boy went on,"that I could be a brother like that."Paul looked at the boy in surprise,and then he said again,"Would you like to take a ride in my car?"
"Oh yes,I'd love that."
After a short ride,the boy turned and with his eyes shining,said,"Paul,would you mind driving in front of my house?"
Paul smiled a little.He thought he knew what the boy wanted.He wanted to show his neighbours that he could ride home in a big car.But Paul was wrong again."Will you stop where those two steps are?"the boy asked.
He ran up to the steps.Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back,but he was not coming fast.He was carrying his little crippled (残疾的) brother.He sat him down on the step and pointed to the car.
"There he is,Buddy,just like I told you upstairs.His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn't cost him a cent.And some day I'm going to give you one just like it…then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas windows that I've been trying to tell you about."
Paul got out and lifted the boy to the front seat of his car.The shining-eyed older brother climbed in beside him and the three of them began an unforgettable holiday ride.
