6．"You're going to the United States to live？How wonderful!You're really lucky!"Does this sound familiar？Perhaps your family and friends said similar things to you when you left home．But does it seem true all the time？Is your life in this new country always wonderful and exciting？A great many facts show that it's not easy for newcomers to adjust to life in a new culture．They have to experience culture shock．
What causes culture shock？Maybe the weather is unpleasant．Perhaps the customs are different．Perhaps the public service systems such as the telephone，post office，or transportation are difficult to figure out and you make mistakes．The simplest things seem difficult．The language may be difficult．The food may seem strange to you．If you don't look similar to the natives，you may feel strange．You may feel as if everyone is watching you．In fact，you are always watching yourself．
Everyone experiences culture shock in some form or another．But culture shock comes as a surprise to most people．A lot of the time，the people with the worst culture shock are the people who never had any difficulties in their own countries．They were active and successful in their community．They had hobbies or pastimes which they enjoyed．When they come to a new country，they do not have the same positions or hobbies as they already had in their countries．They find themselves without a role，almost without an identity．They have to build a new self image．
Culture shock produces a feeling of disorientation （晕头转向），which may be homesickness，imagined illness，or even paranoia （妄想症）．When people feel the disorientation of culture shock，they sometimes feel like staying inside all the time．They want to protect themselves from the unfamiliar environment．They want to create an escape within their room to give themselves a sense of security．This escape does solve the problem of culture shock for the short term，but it does nothing to familiarize the person more with the culture．Familiarity and experience are the long term ways to settle the problem of culture shock．
32．Who is the passage mainly for？A
A．People who have just moved to a foreign country．
B．Those who have got rid of culture shock．
C．The family and friends of those who came to the US．
D．People who can easily adjust to their life in the US．
33．The underlined part"you are always watching yourself"（in Paragraph 3）meansD．
A．you are always feeling homesick
B．you are always nervous about meeting other people
C．you are always looking at yourself in the mirror
D．you are always worried too much about yourself
34．Which of the following would be a case of culture shock for newcomers？D
A．They have got used to the life in the new country．
B．Their positions or hobbies stay the same．
C．They are active and successful in the new community．
D．They have trouble using public telephones．
35．Which of the following may cause newcomers to lack a sense of security？C
A．A new identity．
B．Local food．
C．Strange environment．
D．A new self image．

13．Some of the most famous universities in America are urging students to consider the idea of putting off college for a year．It's caled a"gap year．"And while it's been common and popular in Australia and the U．K．for decades，the concept is now starting to gain significant steam here in America．
Why？A growing number of high school seniors are tired of riding the academic conveyor belt from preschool all the way to university．They're burnt out．Or not quite ready．Or they want to explore a few interests before deciding what to study in college．So instead of packing their bags to college，they're volunteering in New Orleans or teaching in Thailand．They're starting the great American novel，or working for a short time to help figure out what they want to do with their lives．
Understandably，that makes a lot of parents nervous．But a gap year does not mean that a student will remain degree-less forever．While there are no formal studies on the number of students who never end up making their way to college after the gap year，evidence from admissions officers across the country says very few actually leave college without finishing their courses．Taking a gap year can actually make kids more focused and ready for future academic life．In fact，Harvard University believes so much in the gap year that it encourages every student it admits to consider a year off before really starting．
The reason behind higher education's support of the gap year is clear：Better-prepared students mean higher completion rates．And it's completion that matters．Parents should remember that getting a kid into college is only half the battle．According to the College Board，three out of five students who enter a public four-year college don't manag to obtain a degree within five years．And nearly 30percent of all students who enter college don't return the second year．Considering the fact that this year's average price at a four-year private college is about $23，712per year，it's a pretty expensive place to play around．
28．Students want to take a gap year mainly becauseD．
①they want to have an experience of foreign education
②they want to escape academic pressure for a while
③they want to read more books before college
④they are not completely prepared for college
⑤they can't decide what to learn in college
A．①③④
B．①③⑤
C．②③④
D．②④⑤
29．What makes parents feel concerned about the gap year？C
A．The high cost of the gap year．
B．The safety risks outside school．
C．Their kids dropping out of college．
D．Their kids falling behind in their lessons．
30．Why do some universities encourage the gap year？C
A．It means students will have enough money to pay for college．
B．It allows students to finish college in less than four years．
C．It gets students more involved in their studies．
D．It makes students develop a competitive spirit．
31．What is the author's attitude towards the gap year？B
A．Surprised．
B．Supportive．
C．Critical．
D．Doubtful．

3．My old neighbor Charles felt __________ after his children moved out．（　　）

10．There are four pearl dealers in our town of La Paz．About a week after my father had cut the pearl，the four men came to our home．They came early in the afternoon，dressed in their best black suits and carrying a scale and calipers （卡尺） and their money in a bag．When word got around that the dealers were going to buy the great black pearl，a crowd followed them and stood outside our gate．
The four men wore serious faces and they put their scale and calipers on the table and their brown bag as well．They sat down and folded their hands and said nothing．Then my father said．"The bag is very small，gentlemen．I doubt that it holds enough money to buy the great Pearl of Heaven．"
The four dealers did not like this．One of them，named Martin，was big and shaped like a barrel and had small white hands．"I have heard that the pearl is the size of a grapefruit，"he said，"If so，we have more money than we need．For as you know，the large ones are of little value．""They do not live long，these monsters，"said Palomares，who was as fat as Martin．"They often die or become dull before a year passes．""And so do many of the small ones，"my father said．"Like the pink one Palomares sold us last month．"Palomares shrugged his shoulders．
"Before I show the Pearl of Heaven，"my father said，"I will tell you the price．It is twenty thousand pesos，no more and no less．"
My father went out of the room and came back with the pearl wrapped in a piece of white velvet．He laid it on the table in front of the four dealers．The great pearl caught the light，gathered it and softened it into a moon of dark fire．None of the dealers spoke for a moment or two．
Then Martin said，"It is as I feared，more like a grapefruit than a pearl．""It's a monster all right，"Palomares said．"The kind that often has a brief life and is very hard to sell．"One of the dealers who had not spoken cleared his throat and said，"But still we will make an offer．"The other dealers nodded seriously．"Ten thousand pesos，"said Martin．Palomares grasped the pearl and studied it．"I think that I see a flaw （瑕疵），"he said after a long time．"Ten thousand is too much．"The great pearl was passed around to the other dealers and they all turned it in their hands．As last Martin used the calipers and placed the pearl on the scale．"His readings were the same as I had made almost．Eleven thousand pesos，"he said．My father answered，"In your lives you have never seen a pearl like this one，nor will you．""Twelve thousand，"said Palomares．
For most of an hour the price the dealers offered went up two hundred and fifty pesos at a time until the figure reached the sum of fifteen thousand pesos．
"Then，"said my father，"I shall take the great pearl to Mexico City and ask twice that amount and sell it to dealers who know its true worth．"Palomares picked up the pearl and put it down．"If you remember，"he said，"you made the long journey to the City of Mexico once before．And what did you find there？You found that the dealers are not so generous （慷慨的） with their money as we are here in La Paz． And you came home after the long journey with your tail between your legs．"
My father stopped pacing and signed to me．"Go to the church，"he said，"and bring Father Gallardo．Whatever he is doing，see that he comes．Go quickly．"
Everybody fell silent as we came in．Then my father turned to the priest and bowed．"Here is the Pearl of Heaven，"he said．"My son and I give it to you so that you may give it to the Madonna，our beloved Lady-of-the-Sea，to hold and keep forever．"

7．Every day has the potential to be a good and，in some cases，a great day for you．Few of us get up in the morning （61）thinking （think） that we want this to be a bad day．Yet in many cases the day turns that way because of a person or an event that we worry about．
Think about those small events which can throw you off balance and affect your whole day（62）negatively （negative）．Who（63）stole （steal） your day？Was （64）it a boss，an unruly child，an erratic （难以预料，无常的）driver on the way to work，getting （65）an"F"on a history paper，or an （66）impolite （polite） waiter at lunch that did？
Every day numerous people or events can prevent us from having a good day，if we let them．The key is that we should adopt a positive attitude towards life．We cannot control （67）what happens to us in many cases，but we can control how we react （68）to these events．
Lao-tzu，a Chinese philosopher，（69）said （say），"He who conquers others is strong； he who conquers （70）himself is mighty．"

15．December 6-Canada：For those of you who have been following this story，the third suspect（嫌疑犯）in the Canadian Cat Mutilation（残害）case has been caught．On March 8，after just under a year of searching，the"Find Matt Campaign"received information that would comfort many．Now known as Mattew Kaczorowski，21years old，this cat mutilator was picked up by the police from the streets of Vancouver．
In May 2001，three young men took a young cat，named"Kensington"after the area of town from where she was taken，from the street to a house．They began to cruelly treat and mutilate her to death，videotaping the attack．Two of the suspects，recognized as 21-year-old Jesse Champlain Power and 24-year-old Anthony Ryan Wennekers，were arrested shortly after the incident．Neither helped the police in an effort to find the third suspect，at the time known only as"Matt．"
In May 2002，Katie set up the"Find Matt Campaign"，with the goals of raising public awareness（意识）about animal cruelty and having as many eyes as possible look for Matt．
"I don't think Matt would have been caught had it not been for Katie Woodward's information，"said Detective Gordon Scott，one of the arresting officers．
Kaczorowski faces the charges of animal cruelty，theft under﹩5，000 and possession of property taken by crime，but one charge remains absent：that of animal cruelty．According to Canadian law，this kind of crime must be charged within six months．The case is now before the Courts．
While finding Matt is a big step in the right direction of this case，it is not over．It remains that Kensington's guardian（监护人）has not yet come forward．It is important that her guardian speak out to lessen the possibility of the charges being dropped．
