When I come across a good article in reading newspapers,I often want to cut and keep it.But just as I am about to do so,I find the article on the 36 side is as much interesting.It may be a discussion of the way to 37 in good health,or advice about how to 38 and conduct yourself in society.If I cut the front articles,the opposite one is likely to suffer 39 ,leaving one half of it or keeping the text 40 the title.Therefore,the scissors(剪刀)would stay before they start, 41 the cutting would be halfway done when I find out the 42 result.
Sometimes two things are to be done at the same time,both worth your 43 .You can only take up one of them;the other has to wait or be 44 up.But you know the future is unpredictable―the changed situation may not 45 you to do what is left behind.Thus you are 46 in a difficult position and feel sad.How come nice 47 and clever ideas should gather around all at once? It may happen that your life 48 greatly on your preference of your one choice to the other.
In fact that is what 49 is like;we are often 50 with the two opposite sides of a thing which are both desirable(引人的) 51 a newspaper cutting.It often occurs that our attention is drawn to the thing only 52 we get into another.The 53 may be more important than the latter and give rise to a divided mind.I 54 remember a philosopher’s remarks:“When one door shuts,another opens in life.”So a casual(不经意的) 55 may not be a bad one.

51.B 52.D 53.B 54.A 55.CWhen I opened my e-mail the other day, a pretty woman named Rachel appeared on my computer screen. She greeted me by name and started talking enthusiastically. Every now and then she stopped to smile at me or blow a kiss. She was reading to me an e-mail from my brother, and a lot of it was about his getting the phone company to give him a high="speed" Internet connection. It was pretty cool.
Rachel was there thanks to a new technology called Facemail. Facemail lets you send an e-mail that gets read to the receiver by an attractive male or female form or by a clown. The software, which is free, can be downloaded at www. Facemail.com.
Facemail faces are lifelike, and they copy emotions based on the ones that you put in your text. For example, type in X, and Rachel blows a kiss.
Life FX, the company that develops the Facemail is sure there are broad business uses. The reason e-business is not popular, the company says, is that buying over the Internet lacks the human touch. But what if you went to the Nike website and Michael Jordan greeted you by name, waited on you and personally closed the sale? And the company is talking with Whirlpool about using the technology in a computer screen on a fridge. Then if Mom can’t be home when the kids get back from school, she can leave a note with voice and image telling them what there is to eat.
Facemail could get hot fast. Personally, I’m a fan. But Facemail should be used with words in an e-mail and add angry emotions when you’ve got a psycho-mail.

Does this situation seem familiar to you? Your English is progressing well, the grammar is now familiar, the reading comprehension is no problem, and you are speaking quite fluently. _ _【小题1】
First of all, remember that you are not alone. Listening is probably the most difficult job for almost all learners of English as a foreign language. The most important thing is to listen as often as possible. _【小题2】 The Internet is really a useful tool for English students. You can download The RealPlayer from RealMedia.com. The RealPlayer allows you to use the Internet like a radio station.
Once you have begun to listen on a regular basis, you might still be frustrated (受阻)by limited understanding. __【小题3】__
Here is some of the advice I give my students:
●Accept the fact that you are not going to understand everything.
●Stay relaxed when you do not understand, and try listening to the material for more times.
● Do not translate everything into your native language.
●__【小题4】___ Don’t concentrate on details before you have understood the main ideas.
● Listen to something you enjoy.
I remember the problems I had in understanding spoken German when I first went to Germany. In the beginning, when I didn’t understand a word, I insisted on translating it in my mind. This method usually resulted in confusion. 【小题5】 Firstly, translating creates a barrier between the listener and the speaker. Secondly, most people repeat themselves constantly. By remaining calm, I noticed that even if I didn’t pay much attention I could usually understand what the speaker had said.
A.But you can’t follow a native English speaker at all! |
B.What should you do? |
C.But listening is a problem for most of the beginners! |
D.However, after several weeks, I got used to the new environment in Germany. |
F. Then, after the first six months, I discovered two extremely important facts.
G. Listen for the general idea of the conversation.
