In the city of Fujisawa, Japan, lives a woman named Atsuko Saeki. When she was a teenager, she 1 of going to the United States. Most of what she 2 about American life was _ 3 she had read in textbooks. “I had a 4 of the daddy sitting in the living room, the mummy baking cookies and their teen-age daughter off to the movies with her boyfriend.”
Atsuko arranged to attend college in California. When she arrived, however, it was not the dream world she had 5 . “People were struggling with problems and often seemed tense,” she said. “I felt very lonely.”
One of her hardest classes was physical education. “We play the volleyball,” she said. “The other students were 6 at it, but I wasn’t.”
One afternoon, the instructor assigned Atsuko to hit the ball to her teammates so they could ___7 it over the net. No big deal for most people, but it terrified Atsuko. She feared humiliation if she failed.
A young man on her team sensed what she was going through. He walked up to her and whispered, “Come on. You can do that.”
“You will never understand how those words of encouragement made me feel. Four words—You can do that. I felt like crying with happiness.”
She made it through the class. Perhaps she 8 the young man, she is not sure.
Six years have passed. Atsuko is 32 years old and back in Japan, working 9 a journalist. “I have 10 forgotten the words,” she said. “When things are not going so well, I thi nk of them.”
She is sure the young man had no idea how much his kindness 11 to her. “He probably doesn’t even remember it,” she said.
What may be the lesson? Whenever you say something to a person—cruel or kind --- you have no idea how long the words will stick.
She is all the way over in Japan. But still she 12 those four simple words --- You can do that.

Throughout the world, boys and girls prefer to play with different types of toys. Boys typically like to play with cars and trucks, while girls typically choose to play with dolls. Why is this? A traditional sociological explanation is that boys and girls are socialized and encouraged to play with different types of toys by their parents, peers, and the “society”. Growing scientific evidence suggests, however, that boys’ and girls’ toy preferences may have a biological origin.
In 2002, Gerianne M. Alexander of Texas A&M University and Melissa Hines of City University in London surprised the scientific world by showing that monkeys showed the same
toys (a ball and a police car), two feminine toys (a soft doll and a cooking pot), and two neutral toys (a picture book and a stuffed dog) to 44 male and 44 female monkeys. They then assessed the monkeys’ preference for each toy by measuring how much time they spent with each. Their data showed that male monkeys showed significantly greater interest in the masculine toys, and the female monkeys showed significantly greater interest in the feminine toys. The two sexes did not differ in their preference for the neutral toys.
If children’s toy preferences were largel y formed by gender socialization, as traditional sociologists’ claim, in which their parents give “gender appropriate” toys to boys and girls, how can these male and female monkeys have the same preferences as boys and girls？They were never socialized by humans, and they had never seen these toys before in their lives.
1．Traditional sociologists believe boys’ and girls’ toy preferences _______.
A. are passed down from their parents
B. have a biological origin
C. have nothing to do with gender socialization
D. are largely formed in later life
2．The study by Alexander and Hines shows that monkeys _______.
A. also play toys as humans do
B. also have a sex typical toy preference
C. have no toy preferences
D. like to play different toys at different time
3．Alexander and Hines carried out the study to _______.
A. find out why boys and girls prefer different toys
B. test the intelligence of monkeys
C. test whether monkeys like to play toys
D. find more evidence for traditional sociology
4．According to the study, if given a stuffed dog, _______.
A. only the male monkeys showed interest
B. the female monkeys showed more interest
C. the male and female monkeys showed the same interest
D. neither the male nor the female monkeys showed any interest
5．Masculine toys are mainly intended for________.
A. monkeys
B. adult
C. boys
D. girls
“Meg, we need to talk.”
“Sure thing, Dad.”
“I have been to the 1 several times over the last few days, and well, Meg, I have a brain cancer.”
“Okay.”
“Just okay?”
“Yep, just okay.”
It was the second half of my senior year, that time in a girl’s life when all the really big exciting events are happening. My final performance, my eighteenth birthday and my graduation, all occupied my mind in just two short months.
By my final performance Dad couldn't really give his full 2 on it, but he was there. He bravely sat through my birthday dinner, and he 3 to get out of the hospital for my graduation.
4 those months, we both were caring about the same thing—me. His doctor said that by

6 longer. Nine days after my high school graduation, my father died.
For the next two weeks after his funeral, I didn’t le ave my room. Finally, my mom came in, opened my blinds and gave me a letter.
It was from my father’s doctor. He wrote about how my father inspired him to change his life and the way he worked. “… He was not 7 a patient to me. He 8 more for the people around him than he did his own 9 . I have never met someone who put everyone else first. He was the type of person I desire to be.”
I was 10 . I came to know what I should do.
Days later, I got a job as a summer camp counselor. I contributed everything I had to these little kids, and slowly they helped to heal me without even 11 what they were doing. Their innocence had helped me rediscover some of mine.
That summer mirrored parts of the life my father led in his last few days. I had learned the 12 lesson my father was teaching me --- in order to lead a fulfilling life, you must learn how to give of yourself to others.

You know how wonderful you are, and you know that others know how wonderful you are, but what do you do when admiration crosses over the line into jealousy? For most teens there will come a day when you realize that one of your friends is jealous and that this jealousy is hurting your friendship. When this happens it can seem like there is nothing that you can do, but the good news is that there is. Don’t let jealousy spoil you r relationships. Tackle it head on and you might be back to normal much sooner than you think.
It can be hard to walk up to a friend and ask them what the problem is, but if you want to save your friendship you’ll have to do just that. Don’t approach them and ask why they are jealous of you (unless of course you want to appear totally conceited), just take some time alone with them and let them know that you’ve been feeling like there’s been something coming between you. If they refuse to respond, then use the opportunity to explain how you have been feeling. Chances are that something you say will strike a nerve and your friend will open up as well.
When you figure out what is annoying your friend, ask him or her what (s)he thinks would make the situation better. If, for example, (s)he says that (s)he feels like (s)he doesn’t get to spend any time with you because of your being off with your new friends from tee swim team then maybe you could invite her along the next time or block off one day a week for just the two of you. Remember, though, that whatever solution you decide on should be a compromise. Don’t l imit your own talents or opportunities simply because your friend is unhappy. Try instead to include him or her in your new life and see how that works out.
Even the best of friendships can be tinged by jealousy. This destructive emotion is rarely productive and can turn best friends into worst enemies. Before taking extreme action, chat with your jealous friend to see if the two of you can work out a compromise（妥协）. If you can’t, be prepared to know exactly how far you will go to keep your friend and how f ar you won’t.
1. According to the author, the jealousy emotion is ________.
A. normal
B. productive
C. destructive
D. extreme
2. Which is NOT mentioned as a way to confront your friend when jealousy happens?
A. Walking up to him/her and asking him/her why he / she is jealous of you.
B. Walking up to him / her and asking him / her what the problem is.
C. Spending some time with him / her and letting him / her know how you feel.
D. Spending some time with him / her and letting him / her know you think there’s something
between you.
3. The underlined “it” in the first paragraph refers to ________.
A. friendship
B. relationship
C. admiration
D. jealousy
4. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?
A. There’s always a solution to solve the p roblem of jealousy.
B. Jealousy can turn best friends into worst enemies.
C. You may lose a friend to keep your own gifts, chances or self development.
D. You should go a long way with your friend to work out a solution
5. The purpose of the passage is ________.
A. to explain what causes jealousy
B. to offer some advice on making friends
C. to introduce the way to cope with a jealous friend
D. to explain how destructive the jealous emotion is

As Philip introduced me to the young man, named Stephen, he reminded him that he would be taking one of my 38 , Introduction to Literature.
