  As I got out of my car near a store, I noticed a small sign stuck to the very bottom of the pole.It stood out because it appeared to be a   1  

  At first I thought it had fallen, but at closer look I saw it had been very securely(牢牢地)fastened with several inches of sticking tape(胶带),I was   2   who would attract people's attention in this way to sell a   3   and then I saw more such signs, a little girl and a lady.  4   I approached them and waited until the little girl wound another yard of tape around the last sign.

  "Excuse me, but why are you placing the house for sale signs so close to the   5   ?” I asked.

  "She is not selling the house.Look   6  ! ” the lady said with a smile.I bent down adjusting my position until I could finally read the small print.

  "We miss you! Come home!" I read out loud."Then look at the   7  ” the lady said.I was really   8   my hands and knees and saw in the picture a girl and a   9   in front yard before standing up with a puzzled look.

  "Her dog, Grace, is lost," the lady explained.

  'But most people would hang a lost   10   where people could actually see it ,” I said.

  "Well, you saw it." the young girl responded.

  The innocent answer made me hesitate(犹豫)to   11   further explanation.Thankfully, the lady continued to explain , “ I have told her that it may be   12   to find her dog because you can see the store has many signs posted.But she wanted her dog find her.Thus the picture of the house, her and the dog…I didn't want to   13   until she felt she did everything she could.” She said

  I got   14  .The signs were there for the dog to see.If you want to learn the meaning of   15   , get down to a child's level.One week later Grace came home.Amazing!

  Old Americans are separating into two classes. Retirement can be either heaven or hell. “I do believe on the whole the retirees(退休者)of tomorrow will be wealthier and healthier than the same group of 30 years of age.” says Robert Friedland, director of the National Academy on Ageing, “But that's only part of the picture. There's also a large group whose household income(收入)hasn't been growing very much. For them the future is unhappy. ”

  “Nature is not always kind. ”says Dr. Robert Butler, an expert in medical care of old people, who was a founding director of the National Institute on Ageing. “The relationship between socio-economic position and life expectancy(估计寿命)has been known for a long time. Race (种族)is also connected. And education is powerful, too in lengthening life.”

  “The reality is that poor people get sick easily as they age because they live in duty neighborhoods and have dirty jobs, they are left unprotected(保护)from environmental pollution(环境污染), and the pressure of being poor wears down people's health.” according to Karen Davis, president of the Commonwealth Fund, which studies health problems .

  “Cigarette smoking has a great effect because it is more common in lower socio-economic groups. ” says Elizabeth Whelan, president of the American Council on Science and Health, “If you live in a state of hopelessness and helplessness and don't think about the future, you are more likely to take up life-threatening habits.”

  “Race and income have large effects on death. ” a team of researchers reported in the New English Journal of Medicine in 1996, after researching on 24 million whites and 2.1 million blacks.

  With the exception of black women, the highest income group had the lowest death rates and the lowest income group had the highest death rates regardless of race . For black women there was no consistent pattern across income group.

1.The sentence “ Retirement can be either heaven or hell . ” means ________.

[  ]

A.If a man is out of work, he or she will feel unhappy.

B.If an American retires from his job ( post), he or she will lead a miserable life.

C.Old people in America have to choose a life style.

D.Some old people in America lead a hard life, or others may lead a happy life.

2.According to Dr. Robert Butler's opinion, ________ plays the most important role in people's life expectancy.

[  ]

A.nature
B.race
C.education
D.color

3.The reason why poor people are more likely to get ill as they grow old is that ________.

[  ]

A.they live in the countryside

B.they work with their hands

C.their families are too large

D.they suffer a lot from being poor

4.What Elizabeth Whelan says means that ________.

[  ]

A.smoking makes people poor and hopeless

B.smoking is popular among poor people

C.poor people should give up smoking

D.rich people in America never smoke

5.Which is the best title for the story?

[  ]

A.Terrible life leads to short expectancy .

B.Income differences produce life expectancy .

C.The life expectancy can be decided by race.

D.Americans don't like to retire .

Number  sense is not the ability to count. It is the ability to recognize a   1  in number. Human beings are born with this ability. 2 ,experiments show that many animals are, too. For example, many birds have good number sense. If a nest has four eggs and you remove one, the bird will not  3 . However, if you remove two, the bird 4 leaves. This means that the bird knows the  5  between two and three.

Another interesting experiment showed a bird's 6 number sense. A man was trying to take a photo of a crow(乌鸦)that had a nest in a tower, but the crow always left when she saw him coming. The bird did not 7 until the man left the tower. The man had an 8 .He took another man with him to the tower. One man left and the other stayed, but they did not 9 the bird. The crow stayed away until the second man left, too. The experiment was  10 with three men and then with four men. But the crow did not return to the nest until all the men were 11 .It was not until five men went into the tower and only four left that they were 12 able to fool the crow.

How good is a human's number sense? It's not very good. For example, babies about fourteen months old almost always notice if something is taken away from a  13 group. But when the number goes beyond three or four, the children are 14  fooled.

It seems that number sense is something we have in common with many animals in this world, and that our human 15 is not much better than a crow's.

C

  What comes as a shock to many Westerners may be the unfriendly way that some Chinese treat waiters and waitresses in restaurants and bars. Over the last few years,as many in Beijing have made fortunes,I and many of my foreign friends have noticed a downturn in the treatment of those who work all hours and often live in terrible conditions to bring us our food,guard our homes and sell us clothes.It's not the common citizens,but the young nouveau riches(暴发户) Chinese in Beijing who are mostly guilty of this both social and human misbehavior.

  It is not unusual to see and hear these people,especially the young women among their ranks,speaking rudely to the waiters and waitresses,as they sit there in the misguided belief that the latest mobile phone,a new car and designer clothes give them the right to talk to people like dirt.In one recent incident(事件) in an expensive restaurant near where I live ,I overheard the table next to me,two guys and a girl,tell the waitress "You really are stupid ",because she had brought them two glasses instead of three.They all burst into loud laughter as the young girl ran away to fetch another.In anther incident I saw a waitress reduced to tears as four well-dressed girls criticized everything from her accent to her looks.

  Lately I have noticed that this rather unpleasant aspect of the nouveau riches has been taken up by many of their foreign peers(同类人).So I ask Beijing's bright young things to set a good example,and treat all people with equal respect.And I urge foreigners to follow the good examples of their Chinese language teachers and textbooks while adding some of the pleasantries of their own cultures,so that cultural interpenetration(相互渗透) has a positive influence and not a negative one.

  Here I'd like to leave you with the words from Confucius:"What you do not wish for yourself, do not "do to others."

  64.The writer has noticed that less respect is shown to _______ in Beijing in recent years.

   A.common citizens          B.waiters and the like

   C.young nouveau riches      D.some foreigners

  65.The two incidents mentioned in Paragraph 2 are used to show ______.

   A.waiters and waitresses can make excusable mistakes

   B.waitresses are usually too shy to be laughed at

   C.some Beijingers are too particular about restaurant service

   D.what's being talked about is not rare

  66.The young Beijingers are asked to set a good example in order to ______

   A.have good influence over foreigners

   B.leave a good impression on foreigners

   C.educate younger Chinese

   D.develop traditional Chinese culture

  67.The origial title of the article is most likely to be _______.

   A.One Dark Side of the Bright Chinese Capital

   B.Beijing's Young Nouveau Riches,Watch Out

   C.Dno't Throw Away Good Manners,Please

   D.People Like Waiters Live at Bottom of Society

C

  This summer vacation,Xiaokai,a high school student in Guangzhou,planned to spend his time surfing the Internet,playing basketball and watching TV.

  But Xiaokai's parents tried to make him read some classics at home.In their yees,reading the classics would do his son much more good than other activities.

  Though his room was full of the classic books,he had just finished reading one of them,The Old Man and the Sea.

  "I picked up the book just because it was not very thick,"he said."Nothing impressed me at all after reading."

  Xiaokai is not alone in today's China.Now most of the teenagers are fond of reading martial arts stories,cartoons and popular magazines.Theose classics cannot get them interested at all.

  Parents areworrying about this phenomenon(现象).They always tell their chilren to read the classsics,which is supposed to help their children improve their academic studies.

  Ms Li made a classics reading plan for her daughter,but her daughter refused to carry it away.She just finished less than 10 pages of the Dream of Red Chamber(阁楼) during the whole summer vacation. Ms Li sighed,"What's wrong with the children today?"

  It is the same with teachers.One middle school Chinese teacher once prepared a chart(图表) of Interpersonal relationship in the best-known novel Dream of Red Chamber for his students. They were asked to remember how the characters are related to each other while preparing for the final exam.

  To improve the situation in which the fastfood culture (快餐文化) seems to be winning over teenagers,parents are expected to understand their children's interests, and guide them to read the books instead of forcing them,according to some experts.It is not necessary for the kids to read the classics in their childhood.They can read classics after having their own life experience.

  64.Xiaokai read only one classic book because _______.

  A.he didn't have more

  B.he wasn't interested in the classics

  C.it took him a lot of time

  D.he just acted on his parents' advice

  65.When the writer says"Xiaokai is not alone",she means that ________.

  A.many others don't like classics either

  B.some parents and teachers support Xiaokai

  C.Xiaokai is not the family's only child

  D.Xiaokai often reads together with others

  66.Which belong,or belongs,to the fastfood culture according to the article?

  A.The old Man and the Sea.

  B.The Dream of Red Chamber.

  C.Martial arts stories.

  D.The books filling up Xiaokai's room.

  67.Who would be more likely to stand on the side of that Chinese teacher?

  A.The students.    B.The parents.      C.The experts.     D.The writer.
