15.I made a promise to myself on the way down to the vacation beach cottage.For two weeks I would try to be a loving husband and father.Totally loving.No ifs,ands or buts.
The idea had come to me as I listened to a talk on my car radio.The speaker was quoting a Biblical passage about husbands and their wives.Then he went on to say,"Love is an act of will.A person can choose to love."To myself,I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband.Well,for two weeks that would change.
And it did.Right from the moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said,"That new yellow sweater looks great on you.""Oh,Tom,you noticed,"she said,surprised and pleased.Maybe a little puzzled.After the long drive,I wanted to sit and read.Evelyn suggested a walk on the beach.I started to refuse,but then I thought,"Evelyn's been alone here with the kids all week and now she wants to be alone with me."We walked on the beach while the children flew their kites.
So it went.Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street firm where I am a director; a visit to the shell museum though I usually hate museums.Relaxed and happy,that's how the whole vacation passed.I made a new promise to keep on remembering to choose love.
There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment,however.Evelyn and I still laugh about it today.On the last night at our cottage,preparing for bed,Evelyn stared at me with the saddest expression.
"What's the matter?"I asked her.
"Tom,"she said in a voice filled with distress,"I don't?"
"What do you mean?"
"Well…that checkup I had several weeks ago…our doctor…did he tell you something about me?Tom,you've been so good to me…am I dying?"
It took a moment for it all to be understood.Then I burst out laughing.
"No,honey,"I said,wrapping her in my arms."You're not dying; I'm just starting to live."
7.In the first paragraph,the underlined"No ifs,ands or buts"probably meansD.
A.Unintentionally
B.Independently
C.Impressively
D.Unconditionally
8.From the story we may infer that Tom drove to the beach cottageC.
A.with his family
B.with Evelyn
C.alone
D.with his children
9.The author says,"There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment."What does"one thing"refer to?D
A.He praised her sweater,which puzzled her.
B.She insisted on visiting a museum,which he hated.
C.He knew something about her illness but didn't tell her.
D.He was so good to her that she thought she must be dying.
10.By saying"I'm just starting to live,"Tom means thatB.
A.He is just beginning to understand the real meaning of life.
B.He is just beginning to enjoy life as a loving husband.
C.He lived an unhappy life before and is now starting to change.
D.He is beginning to feel regret for what he did to his wife before.

3.Informal conversation is an important part of any business relationship.Before you start a discussion,however,make sure you understand which topics are suitable and which are considered taboos(禁忌) in a particular culture.Latin Americans enjoy sharing information about their local history,art,and customs.They expect questions about their family and are sure to show pictures of their children.You may feel free to ask similar questions of your Latin American friends.The French think of conversation as an art form,and they enjoy the value of lively discussions as well as disagreements.For them,arguments can be interesting and they can cover pretty much or any topic as long as they occur in a respectful and intelligent(智慧的) manner.
In the United States,business people like to discuss a wide range of topics,including opinions about work,family,hobbies,and politics.In Japan,China,and Korea,however,people are much more private.They do not share much about their thoughts,feelings,or emotions because they feel that doing so might take away from the harmonious(和谐的) business relationship they're trying to build.Middle Easterners are also private about their personal lives and family matters.It is considered rude,for example,to ask a businessman from Saudi Arabia about his wife or children.
As a general rule,it's best not to talk about politics or religion with your business friends.This can get you into trouble,even in the United States,where people hold different views.In addition,discussing one's salary is usually considered unsuitable.Sports is typically a friendly subject in most parts of the world,although be careful not to criticize a national sport.Instead,be friendly and praise your host's team.

4.One in three of us eat more meals by ourselves than we do with other people,a new study showed today.
But before you digest that somewhat depressing figures,there is some good news---kind of---a lot of us are perfectly happy to eat alone because the computer and TV provide us with solitary (独居的) entertainment.
Perhaps unsurprisingly,half of the UK's bachelors eat a meal alone at least once a day.And even one in four mothers with families have dinner mostly by themselves according to a major report on eating trends and social change by the Future Foundation.However,eating alone doesn't seem to matter anymore if you can chat away on social networks-in fact it's now both a quick and entertaining affair.
"Suppertainment"is the phrase being coined for the current major trend that reflects the number of people who eat in front of the computer,TV or games.Single men are the majority leading this trend,with 60percent of them spending meal times plugged into something.However,40percent of mothers and 30percent of students also eat meals while being on the PC or laptop several times a week.
Boyd Hilton,TV and reviews editor of Heat Magazine says:"Setting yourself up in front of the TV to‘Suppertain'comes naturally,especially when you've been on the go all day.
"If I'm on my own I always tend to make a quick and easy meal and settle down to watch something entertaining or I'll get on the laptop and catch up with comedies."
"I think it's such a bonus that healthy,tasty convenience meals now mean you can relax about eating good food without having to worry about preparation time."
5.Not long ago my daughter's favorite shoes were cut with a knife.She cried.I took them to the shoemaker to get them(36)A.The young apprentice(学徒)glanced at the(37)B quickly and said,"I can do (38)C except replace the uppers."The master looked at them and said,"(39)B you trust me,I will add more cuts to both of the shoes."I was (40)C and asked why.He(41)B,"As if the cuts were made on purpose for special style."I didn't fully understand him,(42)B I decided to leave the shoes.
Two days later,I went to collect the shoes.At first(43)D I found there were indeed more cuts on each shoe,but all of them were (44)D with red thread around.The shoes looked more unique and interesting than ever.I couldn't help but praise his (45)C.
Another time,my wife's white skirt had an opening.My wife checked it(46)A and said,"I'll mend it myself."Three days later,seeing the skirt again,I was shocked:the (47)D had been repaired by thin and white thread and it looked like a flower.I (48)A,"It's just as beautiful as a piece of art!"
"I got the (49)C from that shoemaker.Patches (补丁) are supposed to be ugly,but a skillful person can make it look perfect."replied my wife.
(50)A she said set me thinking:perfection is (51)C to achieve in everything; patches are unavoidable(不可避免的),so is human's life,which will appear(52)D the form of injury,disability or disease.(53)D you can't change the existence of them,all you (54)B do and have to do is to deal with the wound by patches and try your best to bloom(盛开)a most beautiful flower on the wound,and that is the meaning of (55)A.
