And it is also love that has such power to overcome all difficulties. So we say: “Love will find a way.” As smile is a facial expression showing pleasure, affection, and friendliness, it is the commonest way to show our good will perfectly without saying anything. A Chinese sayin g runs: “never hit a person who is smiling at you.” It is a time-proven fact that the smile is a language all its own— a universal language—understood by the people of every nation in the world. We may not speak the same tongue as our foreign neighbors, but we smile in the same tongue. We need no interpreter for thus expressing love, happiness, or good will.One day while shopping in a small town in southern California, it was my misfortune to be approached by a clerk whose personality contradicted mine. He seemed most unfriendly and not at all concerned about my intended purchase. I bought nothing, and marched angrily out of the store. My anger toward that grew with each step. Outside, standing at the corner, was a dark-complexion young man in his early twenties. His expressive brown eyes met and held mine, and in the next instant a beautiful, dazzling smile covered his face. I gave in immediately. The magnetic power of that shining smile drove away all bitterness within me, and I found the muscles in my own face happily responding. “Beautiful day, isn’t it?” I remarked, in passing. Then, suddenly something inside me sent me turning back. “I really owe you a debt of gratitude,” I said softly. His smile deepened, but he made no attempt to answer. A Mexican woman and two men were standing nearby. The woman stepped forward and eyed me inquiringly. “Carlos, he no speak English,” she volunteered. “You want I should tell him something?” In that moment I felt transformed. Carlos’ smile had made a big person of me. My friendliness and good will toward all mankind stood ten feet tall. “Yes,” my reply was enthusiastic and sincere, “tell him I said ‘Thank you!’” “Thank you?” The woman seemed slightly puzzled. I gave her arm a friendly pat as I turned to leave. “Just tell him that,” I insisted. “He’ll understand. I am sure!” Oh, what a smile can do! Although I have never seen that young man again, I shall never forget the lesson he taught me that morning.From that day on, I became smile – conscious, and I practice that diligently, anywhere and everywhere, with everybody. When I got excited in traffic, taking the right–of–way (公路用地) from the other car with my stupid mistake, I’d smile and shrug my shoulders apologetically. This action on my part would always draw a good–natured smile in return. If the other fellow was at fault – and if I could remember my resolution in time! –he’d get a broad smile of understanding. This took a bit of doing at first. I’ll admit it wasn’t always easy, but it was fun. The results were sometimes amazing. Many times, a broad, friendly smile would completely turn aside ill–feeling and tension. I’m wondering now how many tragic accidents could be avoided on our overcrowded highways, if every driver remembered to smile!【1】The author got angry while shopping one day because .A．of the clerk’s unfriendliness and lack of concernB．of her misfortuneC．she failed to purchase what she intendedD．a dark–complexion young man laughed at her【2】From the conversation between the author and the Mexican woman, we can infer that the woman . A．was well–educated but unwilling to help othersB．was able to speak EnglishC．knew some English and was ready to help othersD．was familiar with the young man【3】In the author’s opinion, if all people remembered to smile when driving, .A．many traffic accidents could be avoidedB．they would receive a good natural smile in returnC．they could get a broad smile of understandingD．they wouldn’t feel any tension【4】The best title for this passage could be .A．The Art of Smiling B．The Universal LanguageC．The Power of Love D．The Magic Power of Friendship3.When we worry about who might be spying on our private lives, we usually think about the Federal agents. But the private sector outdoes the government every time. It’s Linda Tripp, not the FBI, who is facing charges under Maryland’s laws against secret telephone taping. It’s our banks, not the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), that pass our private financial data to telemarketing firms.Consumer activists are pressing Congress for better privacy laws without much result so far. The legislators lean toward letting business people track our financial habits virtually at will.As an example of what’s going on, consider U.S. Bancorp, which was recently sued for deceptive practices by the state of Minnesota. According to the lawsuit, the bank supplied a telemarketer called Member Works with sensitive customer data such as names, phone numbers, bank-account and credit-card numbers, social security numbers, account balances and credit limits.With these customer lists in hand, Member Works started dialing for dollars-selling dental plans, videogames, computer software and other products and services. Customers who accepted a “free trial offer” had 30 days to cancel. If the deadline passed, they were charged automatically through their bank or credit-card accounts. U.S. Bancorp collected a share of the revenues.Customers were doubly deceived, the lawsuit claims. They didn’t know that the bank was giving account numbers to Member Works. And if customers asked, they were led to think the answer was no.The state sued Member Works separately for deceptive selling. The company denies that it did anything wrong. For its part, U.S. Bancorp settled without admitting any mistakes. But it agreed to stop exposing its customers to nonfinancial products sold by outside firms. A few top banks decided to do the same. Many other banks will still do business with Member Works and similar firms.And banks will still be mining data from your account in order to sell you financial products, including things of little value, such as credit insurance and credit-card protection plans.You have almost no protection from businesses that use your personal accounts for profit. For example, no federal law shields “transaction and experience” information-mainly the details of your bank and credit-card accounts. Social Security numbers are for sale by private firms. They’ve generally agreed not to sell to the public. But to businesses, the numbers are an open book. Self-regulation doesn’t work. A firm might publish a privacy-protection policy, but who enforces it?Take U.S. Bancorp again. Customers were told, in writing, that “all personal information you supply to us will be considered confidential.” Then it sold your data to Member Works. The bank even claims that it doesn’t “sell” your data at all. I t merely “shares” it and reaps a profit. Now you know.【1】Contrary to popular belief, the author finds that spying on people’s privacy ________.A．is practiced exclusively by the FBIB．is more common in business circlesC．has been intensified with the help of the IRSD．is mainly carried out by means of secret taping【2】We know from the passage that ________.A．the state of Minnesota is considering drawing up laws to protect private informationB．most states are turning a blind eye to the deceptive practices of private businessesC．legislators are acting to pass a law to provide better privacy protectionD．lawmakers tend to give a free hand to businesses to inquire into customers’ buying habits【3】When the “free trial” deadline is over, you’ll be charged without notice for a product or service if ________.

Every morning now she turns on a specially constructed light box for half an hour and sits in front of it to trick her brain into thinking it’s still enjoying those long summer days. It seems to work.Krentz is not alone. Scientists estimate that 10 million Americans suffer from seasonal depression and 25 million more develop milder versions. But there’s never been definitive proof that treatment with very bright lights makes a d ifference. After all, it’s hard to do a double-blind test when the subjects can see for themselves whether or not the light is on. That’s why nobody has ever separated the real effects of light therapy from placebo(安慰剂) effects.Until now. In three separate studies published last month, researchers report not only that light therapy works better than a placebo but that treatment is usually more effective in the early morning than in the evening. In two of the groups, the placebo problem was resolved by telling patients they were comparing light boxes to a new anti-depressant device that emits negatively charged ions. The third used the timing of light therapy as the control.Why does light therapy work? No one really knows. “Our research suggests it has some thing to do with shifting the body’s internal clock,” says psychiatrist Dr. Lewey. The body is programmed to start the day with sunrise, he explains, and this gets later as the days get shorter. But why such subtle shifts make some people depressed and not others is a mystery.That hasn’t stopped thousands of winter depressives from trying to heal themselves. Light boxes for that purpose are available without a doctor’s prescription. That bothers psychologist Michael Terman of Columbia University. He is wor ried that the boxes may be tried by patients who suffer from mental illness that can’t be treated with light. Terman has developed a questionnaire to help determine whether expert care is needed.In any event, you should choose a respectable manufacturer. Whatever product you use should emit only visible light, because ultraviolet light damages the eyes. If you are photosensitive, you may develop a rash. Otherwise, the main drawback is having to sit in front of the light for 30 to 60 minutes in the morning. That’s an inconvenience many winter depressives can live with.【1】What is the probable cause of Krentz’s problem?A．An unexpected gain in body weight.B．Unexplained impairment of her nervous system.C．Weakening of her eyesight with the setting in of winter.D．Poor adjustment of her body clock to seasonal changes.【2】By saying that Linda Krentz saw the light” (Line 4, Para. 1), the author means that she _______. A．learned how to lose weightB．realized what her problem wasC．came to see the importance of lightD．felt sleepy and blue【3】What is the CURRENT view concerning the treatment of seasonal depression with bright lights?A．Its effect remains to be seen.B．It serves as a kind of placebo.C．It proves to be an effective therapy.D．It hardly produces any effects.【4】What is psychologist Michael Terman’s major concern?A．Winter depressives will be addicted to using light boxes.B．No mental patients would bother to consult psychiatrists.C．Inferior light boxes will emit harmful ultraviolet lights.D．Light therapy could be beyond the tolerance of certain mental patients.四、单词拼写【1】In fact, your ___________(模棱两可的) words amounted to a refusal.【2】They have campaigned strongly for ___________(强制的) registration of dogs.【3】The majority of Scots favor an ___________(自制的) Scotland involving devolution or complete independence.【4】Because of the extreme cold, the Antarctic is a uniquely ___________(脆弱的) environment.【5】In this company you have to go through complex ___________(官僚主义的) procedures just to get a new pencil.【6】He's a very a___________ athlete and he wants to play at the highest level.【7】The Government of Jamaica considered it improper to a___________ the death sentence as it might cause more violent murders.【8】They are not optimistic about a peaceful s___________ of the eleven-year conflict.【9】Archeologists unearthed an old English dictionary d___________ back to the year 1236.【10】Everyone looks up to him as his actions are always c___________ with his principles.五、其他1.【1】The old man sat in front of the television every evening, happy ________ (watch) anything that happened to be on.【2】All the school needs ________ (add) to its beauty is a tennis court.【3】To everyone’s delight, the design they had spent so much time on ________ (prove) to be a success.【4】I ________ (paint) my new flat all day.

However, this issue frequently causes heated debate.Some people say that classical music is associated only with old people. For example, if you look at the audience at a classical concert, the majority is over the age of fifty.Others say it is more popular than we first imagine. Many young people listen to classical music without realizing it. It is often used in films and advertisements. For example, a famous piece of classical music was used as the theme music for the 1990 World Cup. Not many people could have given its name, but millions enjoyed it. Also, some people point out that young people produce new music based on classical ideas: for example, it is said that rap(说唱) music was invented by a classical musician in 1912, but it is now used by young people in pop music.However, young people point to the fact that classical music has been outstripped(超越) by technology. To play a classical instrument, such as a violin, you need to study hard and practice for hours. Nowadays, you don’t need to get aching arms from practicing. A teenager can write and make music using a computer program in the comfort of their own bedroom.A final point to bear in mind is that the term "classical music" is used to refer to a great variety of music, from jazz to pieces for large orchestras. This makes it even more difficult to say whether classical music is relevant to young people.So, it may be only a minority of young people who play classical instruments, but when it comes to enjoying classical music, it depends on the piece of music. It may be more relevant to young people in the modern world than they realize!六、书面表达请阅读下面短文, 并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。
