　　Is it possible to persuade mankind to live without war?War has existed for at least six thousand years．It was always evil and usually foolish, but in the past the human race managed to live with it．Modern skill has changed this．Either man will end war, or war will end man．

　　For the present, it is nuclear weapons that cause the greater danger, but bacteriological or chemical weapons may, before long, offer an even greater threat．If we succeeded in stopping war, there would be no danger for us．To do this, we need to persuade mankind to look upon international questions in a new way, not by contests of force, in which the victory goes to the side which is most skillful in killing people, but this is what must be attempted．

　　Some people hold completely false attitudes towards how to prevent war．In fact, they are willing to go to war in support of them．However, the movement of world opinion during the past two years has changed very largely such as we can welcome．It has become a common belief that nuclear war must be avoided．Of course, very difficult problems remain in the international world, but the attitude towards them is a better one than it was some years ago．

　　It has begun to be thought, even by the powerful men who decide whether we shall live or die, that agreements should be reached even if both sides do not find these agreements wholly satisfactory．It has be understood that the important conflict nowadays is not between East and West, but between Man and the atom bomb．

My mother-in-law, Dorothy, is showing me the red notebook that’s almost as precious to her as my husband’s baby pictures. Inside the notebook is a list of the books she has read since 2007. For some people waking up in the middle of the night is a terrible thing. But for my mother-in-law, that time is a gift. At 87, she is getting the education she never had by working her way through great literature. She has now read close to 100 books, including every single novel by Anthony Trollope, Charles Dickens, Jane Austen, Edith Wharton, Henry James and Thomas Mann.

My mother-in-law discusses her passion with the enthusiasm of a young girl, although she can also be a very tough critic, writing “VG’ for “ very good” in the margins next to her favorites. So far, only a handful of books have received the top prize.

Born in Ridgefield, Conn, Dorothy was the youngest daughter of an Italian gardener. She taught herself English by reading The New York Times. Eager to come to Manhattan, she became a nurse, married a dentist and spent the next several decades keeping the house and raising a family. In her later years, she put her nursing skills to good use by taking care of my father-in-law, who had lung cancer. There were many trips to the emergency room in the middle of the night and then a long hospital stay. She stayed awake to watch over him for 15 hours a day. Always a light sleeper, she developed sleeplessness as a result of the stress.

It worsened after he died. Deeply sad and lonely for the first time in her life, she began waking up around 2am. Julian and Sylvia, the elderly couple next door suggest she read literature. And so Julian, a great lover of literature, became her “professor”, providing books from his large library. Suddenly the terrifying hole turned onto a world of amazing characters.

Why is Dorothy considered a tough critic?

A. Because no books are inspiring enough in her eyes.

B. Because only a few books are thought highly of by her.

C. Because she only reads books by famous writers.

D. Because she finds fault with every book she reads.

It can be inferred from the passage that _____.

A. the books Dorothy has read were bought by her husband.

B. the couple next door are college professors.

C. the author loves literature too.

D. Dorothy was a great wife.

The underlined part “the terrifying hole” in the last paragraph refers to _____.

A. the frightening death

B. Dorothy’s lack of education

C. waking up in the middle of the night

D. a hole in a book that Dorothy read

What helped Dorothy get over the sadness and loneliness of losing her husband?

A. Living with her son.

B. Reading literature.

C. Seeing her son’s baby pictures.

D. Talking with neighbors.

No one knows yet the accurate number of lives which have been lost in this terrible fire. But reports suggest that it is more than one hundred.

A wall of fire fifty feet high and at least one hundred and fifty miles wide is now racing towards the forests and rich farmlands of southern Victoria. Towns less than one hundred miles from Melbourne will be in danger unless the wind changes. People are rushing excitedly into the streets. The police have warned them not to see the fire but many people are doing so.

The cause of the fire is unknown. No rain has fallen in this part of Australia for three months, and the hot, north-west wind from the great central desert is blowing at more than thirty miles an hour.

The firefighters are traveling to the fire by road, rail and air. But it is not easy to get there. Flames and fallen trees have cut off or blocked roads and railway lines. The thick smoke often prevents them from finding the air strips (飞机跑道).

It is said that the fire has brought the greater danger to the country since the Second World War.

By the time the article is written, the fire .

A. has just broken out B. has been put out

C. is spreading fiercely D. is coming to an end

The writer writes this article mainly to tell people .

A. the fire is terrible and dangerous

B. it is very easy to put out the fire

C. less than one hundred people die of the fire

D. to join in the fight against the fire

In the 4th paragraph, the writer suggests (暗示) that .

A. the fire would be controlled by the firefighters very soon

B. it will be very difficult to put out the fire

C. the government is paying great attention to the fire

D. the fire has caused great losses and the airport was in danger

The underlined word “ accurate ” in the first sentence has the same meaning as .

A. recent B. false C. rough（大约的） D. exact

It was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2005. While most people were warming up their ears, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone.

The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries (食品杂货) saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live.

I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that，several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, and then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before.

People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity (人性) as a whole. And it has influenced (影响) us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others. No matter how or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting.

Why was the bike so important to the couple?

A. The man’s job was bike racing. B. It was their only possession.

C. It was a nice Kona 18 speed. D. They used it for work and daily life

We can infer from the text that ________

A. The couple worked 60 hours a week B. people were busy before Christmas

C. the stranger brought over the bike D. life was hard for the young family

How did people get to know the couple’s problem?

A. From radio broadcasts. B. From a newspaper.

C. From TV news. D. From a stranger.

What do the couple learn from their experience?

A. Strangers are usually of little help. B. One should take care of their bike.

C. News reports make people famous. D. An act of kindness can mean a lot.

A Good Teacher is a Strict Teacher

One of the most important parts in the healthy development of a

child is played by education. But the way in which education is

understood has changed completely, as we must not forget that

the severe and unfeeling way of bringing up a child in the past

was primarily based on cruel grounding（基础）and strict

rules that were supposed to create accomplished individuals, the typical gentlemen. Nowdays,

society is much more open-minded and it does not put a great value on being strict, although this

doesn’t mean that opinions regarding this subject do not differ.

On the one hand, there are also people who believe that there has got to be a bound between

teacher and student if any satisfying results are awaited. Luckily for us, more and more teachers are

understanding this fact and are doing their best to get over the strict rules and get in touch with us.

My opinion is that only by having a friendly attitude and accepting other opinions, especially

those of your pupils, you are truly able to do your job at high standards. However, this does not

mean that a teacher shouldn’t be a bit more rough when he feels that things are getting out of hand.

All in all, I must say that a good teacher is the teacher that has the ability to be kind and strict at the

same time, thus achieving to gain his students respect and interest.

The aim of education in the past was to .

A．create perfect persons B．create open-minded persons

C．bring up a child D．build a cruel grounding

According to the passage, the narrow-minded people think .

A．a pupil is always interested in what he is learning

B．a pupil himself will improve his studies

C．children should be made to study

D．children don’t like a rough hand

The underlined word “job” in the last paragraph can be replaced by .

A．controlling B．teaching C．learning D．punishing

The author thinks a good teacher should be .

A．kind and strict B．skilled and clever

C．rough and cruel D．friendly and practical

It can be inferred from the passage that .

A．society is much more open-minded and being strict is out date

B．as long as the teachers are strict with students, the students will certainly get good marks

C．most people are in favor of strict teachers because they have strict grounding and strict rules

D．if we expect students to develop in a healthy way, the good relationship between teachers and students is important
