People do not analyze every problem they meet. Sometimes they try to remember a solution from the last time they had a   21  problem. They often accept the opinion or ideas of other people. Other times they begin to act without   22 ;they try to find a solution by trial and error.   23  .,when all of these methods   24  ,the person with a problem has to start analyzing. There are six    25  in analyzing a problem.
   26  the person must recognize that there is a problem. For example, Sam's bicycle is broken, and he cannot ride it to class as he usually does. Sam must see that there is a problem with his bicycle.
Next the person must   27   the problem. Before Sam can repair his bicycle, he must know why it does not work. For example, he must determine the parts that are wrong.
Now the person must look for   28  that will make the problem clearer and lead to  possible solutions. For example, suppose Sam   29   that his bike does not work because there is some thing wrong with the brakes(刹车).   30  , he can look in his bicycle repair book and read about brakes,   31  his friends at the bike shop, or look at his brakes carefully.
After studying the problem, the person should have   32  suggestions for a possible solution. Take Sam as an example   33 ,his suggestions might be: tighten or loosen the brakes; buy new brakes and change the old ones.
In the end, one   34  seems to be the solution to the problem. Sometimes the __35__ idea comes quite   36  because the thinker suddenly sees something new or sees something in a   37   way. Sam, for example, suddenly sees there is a piece of chewing gum(口香糖)stuck to a brake. He   38   finds the solution to his problem :he must___39___the brake.
Finally the solution is tested .Sam finds that his bicycle   40  perfectly. In short he has solved the problem.

Dear son,
The day that you see me old and I am already not in good health, have patience and try to understand me.
If I get dirty when eating, if I can not dress, have patience and remember the hours I   36  teaching it to you. If, when I speak to you, I   37  the same things thousand and one times, do not   38   me, listen to me. When you were small, I had to read to you thousand and one times the same story   39   you got to sleep. When I do not want to have a   40 , neither shame me nor scold me. Remember when I had to chase you with thousand excuses I   41 , in order that you wanted to bathe. When you see my   42  little about new technologies, give me the necessary time and do not look at me with your mocking(嘲弄) smile. I taught you   43  to do so many things: to eat good, to dress well, to confront life…. When at some moment I lose the memory or the   44   of our conversation, let me have the necessary time to remember, and if I cannot do it, do not become nervous, as the most important thing is not our conversation but surely to be with you and to have you   45   to me.
If ever I do not want to eat, do not force me. I know well   46   I need to and when not. When my   47  legs do not allow me to walk, give me your   48  , the same way I did when you gave your first   49 . And when someday I say to you that I do not want to   50  any more ---- that I want to rest forever, do not get angry. Someday you will understand.
Try to understand that my age is not lived but survived. Some day you will discover that,  51  my mistakes, I always wanted the   52  thing for you and that I tried to prepare the way for you. You must not feel sad, angry or impotent(无可奈何) for seeing me   53  you. You must be next to me, try to understand me and to help me as I did it when you   54  living. Help me to walk, help me to end my way with love and   55 . I will pay you by a smile and by the immense love I have had always for you.
I love you, Son.
Your father

About one year ago, a couple with three children moved into the apartment next door to me. I never heard any noise from the children. Instead, I often heard the parents yelling   __26__   at the kids, not in a nice tone, but in a   __27__  one.
We often   __28__  in the hallway. I always greeted them, but the only __29__   I ever got was a “hello” from the eight­year­old girl. I usually   __30__   to see my doctor and one day when I returned they were just   __31__   their apartment and the little girl was   __32__   the outside door open for the others. I   __33__   in the car doing   __34__   things because I wasn't eager to be snubbed(冷落) again. Finally, I got out of my car and walked towards the door. The parents were telling their daughter to hurry and get into the car,   __35__   the little girl was still holding the door,  __36__   me! I hurried although I was still in pain from my injury.
I forgot to tell her how  __37__   I was for her kindness. I wrote a note saying how much her act of kindness had   __38__ an old man's heart.
The next day there was a   __39__   on my door and it was the little girl and her father. She was quite   __40__   of her behavior and thanked me. Then I noticed her mother standing there too. Her parents  __41__   me.
From then on when we met in the hallway we always greeted each other,in a friendly   __42__.
Last night there was a heavy snow. I looked out at my car and   __43__   how I was going to keep my doctor's   __44__   because I could only walk for a short time. This morning when I opened the front door, all the snow was removed.
Isn't it  __45__   that the small kind act of an 8­year­old girl can change so many things for the better? It is said that good things come from small acts.

The fact that blind people can see things using parts of their bodies apart from their eyes may help us to understand our feelings about color.If they can sense color differences, then perhaps we, too, are affected by color without knowing it.Salesmen have discovered by experience over a long period of time that sugar sells badly in green wrappings, that blue foods are considered not agreeable to the taste, and that cosmetics(化妆品) should never be packed in brown.These discoveries have grown into a whole subject of color psychology.
Some of our preferences are clearly psychological.Dark blue is the color of the night sky and therefore connected with calm, while yellow is a day color connected with energy and encouragement.Experiments have shown that colors, partly because they are connected with psychology, also have a direct effect on people's mind.People in bright red surroundings show an increase in breathing speed, heartbeat and blood pressure.Red is exciting.Pure blue has exactly the opposite effect; it is a calming color.Being exciting, red was chosen as the signal for danger, but a closer study shows that a bright yellow can produce a more basic state of alarm, so fire engines in some advanced areas are now rushing around in bright yellow colors that stop buses, trucks and cars.
小题1:The passage tells us that salesmen have____ .
A.tried colors on blind people
B.found out that colors affect sales
C.developed a special subject of color psychology
D.discovered the relationship between color and psychology
小题2:It can be inferred from the passage that__ _.
A.blind people cannot sense color differences
B.foods sell well in green or blue wrappings
C.w hat color we prefer depends on our state of mind
D.a bright color has exactly the opposite effect to red
小题3:The most effective color in the passage for warning people is____.
A.redB.dark blueC.greenD.bright yellow
小题4:If someone is in an angry mood, which color is better for him to become quiet?
A.Red.B.Dark blue. C.Brown. D.Bright yellow
小题5:Which of the following do you think is the best title for the passage?
A.Colors and FeelingsB.Colors and Sales
C.The Blind and ColorsD.Preferences for Colors
Let’s say you have a piece of wood, a nail, and hammer. Pretend the wood is a person, the nail is a mean rumor (谣言) about that person. If you hammer in the nail, you’re obviously hurting him or her. If you then pull out the nail, there’s still a hole in the wood, and the damage has been done.
There are many reasons why that nail of a rumor can be so harmful. Rumors are, quite simply, a form of bullying (欺悔). When a person or a group makes up a rumor about someone or decides to spread gossip, it’s usually to hurt someone, break up a friendship, or make someone less popular. It’s the same thing as teasing, only it’s done behind someone’s back instead of to his or her face.
When you spread a rumor about someone, you’re sending a signal that the person is outside of the group, and somehow less worthy of friendship than others. You’re making fun of that person or pointing out negative things about him or her. This can let others think that it’s okay to make the person feel bad, and make him or her an outsider.
We need to be able to trust our friends, and gossip and rumors can break this trust. If you tell a personal secret to a friend, and he turns around and tells it to someone else, you might feel like you will get burned if you ever get close to him again.
Letting a rumor influence your behavior is like letting someone else make a big decision for you. Let’s say you hear that the teacher plans to call a Snow Day tomorrow because a blizzard (暴风雪) is coming. Expecting a day off, you don’t do your homework. The next morning, the blizzard turns out to be nothing more than a drizzle(毛毛雨), and school isn’t off after all. You get zeroes on your work.
小题1:The purpose of the first paragraph is to        .
A.help readers know what a rumor isB.attract readers to read the following paragraphs
C.emphasize the damaging effects of rumorsD.explain how a rumor spreads
小题2:To tell a rumor and a tease apart, you depend on        .
A.whether it is done behind someoneB.whether it is painful or not
C.whether it is a kind if bullyingD.whether it is spread fast
小题3: If a rumor is spread about someone, others may        .
A.point out his or her advantagesB.keep away from him or her
C.not feel he or she is an outsiderD.be hurt if getting close to him or her again
小题4:From the last paragraph, we can infer that        .
A.it is hard to keep rumors a secretB.rumors can destroy your interest in learning
C.believing rumors can lead to bad choicesD.rumors can control your whole life
小题5:The purpose of this passage is to         .
A.advise on how to deal with rumorsB.teach us how to judge a rumor
C.find out why rumors spread fastD.explain why rumors hurt
In the past, people who graduated from college felt proud of their academic (学业的) achievements and felt confident that their degree would help them to find a good job.
However, in the past five years the job market has changed greatly. This year’s college graduates are facing one of the worst job markets. For example, Ryan Stewart, a graduate of San Jose State University, got a degree in religious studies, but no job prospects. He points out that many people already working are getting laid off and don’t have jobs, so it’s even harder for new college graduates to find jobs.
Five years ago, the future looked bright for the class of 2006. There were many high-tech job chances. Graduates received many job offers, and they were able to get jobs with high salaries and benefits such as insurance (保险) and paid vacations. However, "Times have changed and it's a new market," according to an officer of the San Jose State Career Center.
The officer says students who do find jobs started preparing two years ago. They worked during summer vacations, they have had several short-time jobs, and they’ve majored in one of the few fields that are still hot, like chemical engineering, accounting, or nursing, where average starting salaries have actually increased over last year. Other popular fields (like information system management, computer science, and political science) have seen big declines (下降) in starting salaries.
Ryan Stewart (he had hoped to become a teacher) may go back to school in order to become a college teacher. He thinks college teaching could be a good career even in a bad economy.
In conclusion, these days a degree may not be a ticket to instant wealth for some students. For now, they can only hope the value of their degree will increase over time.
小题1:The underlined word in the second paragraph probably means _____.
A.skillsB.interestsC.chancesD.ideas
小题2:Which of the following majors has the best job offers?
A.teachingB.accounting
C.political scienceD.computer science
小题3: Ryan Stewart will have to ____________.
A.go back to schoolB.get a job teaching
C.change his majorD.become a religious leader
小题4:The underlined sentence in the last paragraph means ____________.
A.the best way to get rich is not to get a college degree
B.most students with degrees will not be able to find jobs
C.having a college degree does not mean that one has money for travelling
D.a college degree does not mean that one will find a well-paid job
小题5: The main idea of the passage is that _________.
A.a lot of graduates are losing their jobs
B.Ryan Stewart has been able to find a job
C.salaries in some fields have increased in the past year
D.the job market has changed greatly over the past five years
The old shopkeeper led me through to the back of the shop. The room was filled with boxes and photographs of people dressed in old-fashioned clothes, holding packages in their hands.
“Who are these people?” I asked.
“Satisfied customers,” answered young Mr. Hopkins. “We have a very wide choice of items for sale. Whenever I serve a new customer, I always take their picture.” Mr. Hopkins pointed to an ancient camera standing next to one wall. “Now, how can I serve you?” he added.
By this time, I had started to trust Mr. Hopkins and had begun to appreciate the lovely items on sale. I needed to buy Christmas presents for my family and friends, and this seemed to be the perfect place to purchase them. I spent a very pleasant hour being shown the commodities in Mr. Hopkins’shop. No matter what I asked for, Mr. Hopkins found it for me. Finally, I bought an antique jewelry box, a pair of riding boots, a leather-bound edition of the Complete Works of Mark Twain, and a sewing machine.
I was very excited that I had found such a good little shop. I promised Mr. Hopkins that I would come back soon. “I will tell all my friends about your lovely place,” I told the shopkeeper.
“Please do not do that, sir”, said Mr. Hopkins. “This is a special place for special people. You must keep this shop a secret.” Then he took my photograph, and handed me the picture straight away.
“That was quick!” I exclaimed. I looked at the photograph. In the picture I looked proud and excited holding the presents I had bought in Mr. Hopkins’ dusty shop.
On Christmas Day, my friends and relatives were delighted with the presents I had bought for them. For weeks, my brother begged me to show him where to find this wonderful little shop. I finally agreed to take him to London to show him.
When we arrived in London, we walked along Oxford Street, past the department store and found...nothing. The little shop was no longer there. In its place was an empty space being used as a car park. I checked the area again. There was the music shop, and there was the department store. In between should have been Hopkins and Son, but it wasn’t there.
As I was staring at the place where the shop should have been, an old policeman came along. “Are you looking for something sir?” he asked.
I turned and said “I am looking for a little shop called Hopkins and Son. I thought it was here.”
“Oh yes,” said the policeman. “There was a shop here once called Hopkins and Son. It sold all sorts of things, but it was knocked down over 30 years ago.”
I looked again at the place where the shop had been. Then I reached into my pocket and took out the photograph that Mr. Hopkins had taken of me holding my presents in the little shop.
“How strange” I exclaimed.
小题1:How did the writer like the shop?

C.He thought it a good shop with an ancient camera.

小题3:The word “the commodities’ in the 4th paragraph means _____.
A.the writer’s works
B.the goods in the shop
C.Mr. Hopkins’ photographs
D.Some presents left by other customers
小题4:Which of the following is the best title of this passage?

Rome had the forum. London has Speaker’s Corner. Now always-on-the-go New Yorker has Liz and Bill.
Liz and Bill, two college graduates in their early 20s, have spent a whole year trying to have thousands of people talk to them in the subway station and on busy street corners. Just talk.
Using a 2-feet-high sign that says, “Talk to Me,” they attract conversationalists, who one evening included a mental patient, and men in business suits.
They don’t collect money. They don’t push the religion. So what is the point?
“To see what happens,” said Liz. “We simply enjoy life with open conversation(交流).”
Shortly after the September 11, 2001 attacks, they decided to walk from New York city to Washington, a 270-mile trip. They found they loved talking to people along the way and wanted to talk with the strangers after their return.
“It started as a crazy idea,” Liz said. “We were so curious about all the strangers walking by with their stories. People will talk to us about anything: their jobs, their clothes, their childhood, anything.”
Denise wanted to talk about an exam she was going to take. She had stopped for the second time in two days, to let two listeners know how it went.
Marcia had lost her husband to a serious disease. “That was very heavy on my mind,” Marcia said. “To be able to talk about it to totally strangers was very good,” she explained.
To celebrate a year of talking, the two held a get-together in a city park for all the people they had met in the past year. A few hundred people showed up, as well as some television cameramen and reporters.
They may plan more parties or tried to attract more people to join their informal talks. Some publishers have expressed their interest in the book, something they say they’ll consider.
小题1:What did Liz and Bill start doing after September 2001?
A.Chatting with peopleB.Setting up street signs
C.Telling stories to strangersD.Organizing a speaker’s corner
小题2: What they have been doing can be described as ______.

C.They organized the get-together in the city park.
D.They are example of those who talked to Liz and Bill.
小题4:What will Liz and Bill do in the future?
A.Going for publishing.B.Do more television program.
C.Continuing what they are doing.D.Spending more time reading books.
