【题目】Some people think that as more and more people have televisions in their homes, fewer and fewer people will buy books and newspapers. Why read an article in the newspaper when the TV news can bring you the information in a few minutes and with pictures? Why read the life story of a famous man when a short television program can tell you all that you want to know?

Television has not killed reading, however. Today, newspapers sell in very large numbers. And books of every kind are sold more than ever before. Books are still a cheap way to get information and enjoyment. Although some books with hard covers are expensive, many books are printed today as paperbacks (平装本), which are quite cheap. A paperback collection of short stories, for example, is always cheaper than an evening at the cinema or the theater, and you can keep a book for ever and read it many times.

Books are a wonderful provider of knowledge and pleasure and some types of books should be in every home. Every home should have a good dictionary. A good encyclopedia (百科全书), though expensive, is useful, too, because you can find information on any subject. Besides, you can have such books as history books, science textbooks, cookbooks, and collections of stories and poems. Then from time to time you can take a book of poems off your shelves and read the thoughts and feelings of your favorite poets.

【1】It can be inferred from the passage that ______.

A. TV programs are a chief provider of knowledge

B. cinemas are the best choice in getting information

C. reading is a cheap way of learning and having fun

D. newspapers are an expensive way to enjoy oneself

【3】Where can you probably see this passage?

A. In a travel booklet.

B. In a science report.

C. In a fashion show magazine.

D. In an education book review.

【答案】

【1】C

【2】C

【3】D

Patience is greatly important in our daily life. Once, I waited for a bus come at a stop.30 minutes passed, but no bus came. Both upset and annoying , I decided to walk by foot. But no sooner had I left when the bus arrived. I thought if I had waited for one more minutes , I would have caught it. If I chose to take a next bus，I would have to wait for another 30 minutes. Only then do I realize my problem. Being impatient will possible waste all the effort that we have put it in. Now, whenever I am close to losing my impatience, I will think of this experience.

【题目】Our quarrel with efficiency is not that it gets things done, but that it is a thief of time when it leaves us no leisure to enjoy ourselves, and that it strains our nerves when we try to get things done perfectly. In building bridges, American engineers calculate so finely and exactly as to make the two ends come together within one-tenth of an inch. But when two Chinese begin to dig a tunnel from both sides of a mountain both come out on the other side. --The Chinese’s firm belief is that it doesn’t matter so long as a tunnel is dug through, and if we have two instead of one, why, we have a double track to boot.

The pace of modern industrial life forbids this kind of glorious and magnificent idling. But, worse than that, it imposes upon us a different conception of time as measured by the clock and eventually turns the human being into a clock himself. (This sort of thing is bound to come to China, as is evident, for instance, in the case of a factory of twenty thousand worker. The luxurious prospect of twenty thousand workers coming in at their own sweet pleasure at all hours is, of course, somewhat terrifying.)Nevertheless, such efficiency is what makes life so hard and full of excitement. A man who has to be punctually at a certain place at five o’clock has the whole afternoon from one to five ruined for him already. Every American adult is arranging his time on the pattern of the schoolboy - three o’clock for this, five o’clock for that, six-thirty for change of dress, six-fifty for entering the taxi, and seven o’clock for arriving at the destination. It just makes life not worth living.

【1】The writer objects to efficiency mainly on the grounds that it ____.

A. entitles us to too much leisure time

B. deprives us of leisure time

C. urges us to get things done punctually

D. imposes on us a perfect concept of time

【2】 In the eyes of the author, the introduction of industrial life gives rise to ____.

A. more emphasis on efficiency

B. magnificent idling of time

C. the excitement of life

D. terrifying schoolboy

【3】The passage tells us ____.

A. Chinese workers come to work when it is convenient

B. Americans ought not to work so hard for efficiency

C. Chinese engineers are on better terms with the management

D. all Americans are forced to be efficient against their will

【4】What is implied but NOT stated by the author is that ____.

A. every American is arranging his time in the pattern of a schoolboy

B. every American is reluctant to be efficient

C. every one should have some time to spend as he pleases

D. being punctual is an undesirable habit which should not be formed

It was unbelievable to have the audience cheering me on, handing me cups of water. And I

And at that moment,I knew: If I set my mind to something, nothing is impossible.

On Wednesday of this Culture & Art Week, we invite the American teacher Prof. Hudson to our school. He gave a class to us and his class left us a very deeper impression.

Greatly encouraging, most of us took an active part his class.

From his lessons, we came to the conclusion that it is not so difficult to learning English well.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I’m one of your customer, I ordered a set of books on your website two weeks ago, but I didn’t received it until yesterday. And much to my disappointment, the books were too poorly packed up that the cover of one book were torn. To make matters worse, it is not a complete set, as I found one book missed.

I’m sorry to have received such poorly service, and I believe I have every right ask you to deal with this problem. I hope you either return my money back or deliver a new set of books to me. Beside, I’d like to be informed of the process of your deal with my complaint.

I’m looking forward to your reply.
