First, some people are convinced that earning a living is wasting time that they could spend enjoying themselves or uncovering their true talents.

I can’t wait to get back to work.While all work and no play is not good, all play and no work is disastrous. We need to feel we are accomplishing something. We also need some form of order in our lives. The second and perhaps more prevalent reason for people not to like their work is that they feel trapped. Once y ou’ve been at a company for five years and have a spouse, a mortgage and a child, you often feel youhave very little choice about jumping ship if things aren’t turning out as you’d planned.

We say we want only the best, but we strangely enjoy junk food. We’re 2 with health and weight loss but face an unprecedented epidemic of obesity(肥胖). Perhaps the 3 to this ambivalence(矛盾情结) lies in our history. The first Europeans came to this continent searching for new spices but went in vain. The first cash crop(经济作物) wasn’t eaten but smoked. Then there was Prohibition, intended to prohibit drinking but actually encouraging more 4 ways of doing it. The immigrant experience, too, has been one of inharmony. Do as Romans do means eating what “real Americans” eat, but our nation’s food has come to be 5 by imports—pizza, say, or hot dogs. And some of the country’s most treasured cooking comes from people who arrived here in shackles. Perhaps it should come as no surprise then that food has been a medium for the nation’s defining struggles, whether at the Boston Tea Party or the sit ins at southern lunch counters. It is integral to our concepts of health and even morality whether one refrains from alcohol for religious reasons or evades meat for political 6 . But strong opinions have not brought 7 . Americans are ambivalent about what they put in their mouths. We have become 8 of our foods, especially as we learn more about what they contain.

张小娴经典爱情语录（100句） 一、有时候我们愿意原谅一个人，并不是我们真的愿意原谅他，而是我们不愿意失去他，不想失去他，唯有假装原谅他。 二、喜欢一个人，是不会有痛苦的；爱一个人，才会有绵长的痛苦。但他给我的快乐，才是世上最大的快乐。 三、失望，有时候也是一种幸福，因为有所期待所以才会失望；因为有爱，才会有期待。所以纵使失望，也是一种幸福，虽然这种幸福有点痛。 四、什么是世上最美好的爱？最美好的爱，是成全。用我的遗憾，成全你去寻找你的快乐... 五、唯有经历过真正的痛苦，才有深刻的快乐。 六、爱情的定义会随着人的经历而改变。 七、爱情是一件满荒凉的事。因为你有很多的期待与苛求，你想追求圆满，但是，爱情是注定不可能圆满的，当爱情承载更多的希望，它也会幻灭得更快。 八、美好的离别能使爱情得到永生。 九、你相信有永远的爱吗？我相信。为什么？相信的话比较幸福。 十、爱情有时候难免夸大了两个人的相似之处。然后有一天，我们才发现相似和差异同样重要。 十一、爱一个人的时候，我们很愿意说“对不起”。既然我错了，希望你不要生气。因为爱你，所以这一点点的自尊可以放
在一旁。 十二、每个人心里都有一只野兽，同时又有一只兔子。有时是兔子走出来，有时是野兽。我们既希望自己强大，也希望自己一次又一次回到弱小的童年。没有野兽，也就没有兔子。爱便是意味着同时接纳自己和对方的兔子与野兽。 十三、二十一世纪了，我们队爱情的完整也许应该有一个新的见解——不要祈求永远完整，只要有一部分完整就好了。在互相鼓励的那一部分，你们是完整的。在共同奋斗的那一部分，你们是完整的。在毫无保留地付出的时候，你们是完整的。有一部分的完整，足以抵消一部分的遗憾。 十四、我不要山盟海誓，我要的，不过是你给的无数颗螺丝钉，每隔一段时间，就可以拿出来上紧我们的爱情。 十五、无论你是否相信人本来是雌雄同体，终生寻觅另一半这个神话，两个人之所以相爱，是一种配合。譬如说，喜欢依赖的，会爱上喜欢被依赖的那个。 十六、我们都知道适当的依赖是一种信任和亲昵的表现，去回应这种依赖就是爱。只是，我们往往无法准确地决定依赖的重量。太轻了，对方没有安全感；太重了，又轮到自己没有安全感。要有多重才不算重？才能够自持？ 十七、我不喜欢发脾气。我真的很少对别人发脾气。但我会很差劲很没出息地，只对亲密的人发最大的脾气。 十八、要爱就爱一个即使你不理他，他也不肯不理你的男人。那么，吵架的时候，至少可以占点便宜。 十九、我们总以为，爱情就是把两个人紧紧地捆绑在一起。

At 12.6 percent, it is now higher than at any point since the mid1920s. We are not about to go back to the days when Congress openly worried about inferior races polluting America’s bloodstream. But once again we are wondering whether we have too many of the wrong sort newcomers. Their loudest critics argue that the new wave of immigrants cannot, and indeed do not want to, fit in as previous generations did. We now know that these racist views were wrong. In time, Italians, Romanians and members of other so-called inferior races became exemplary Americans and contributed greatly, in ways too numerous to detail, to the building of this magnificent nation. There is no reason why these new immigrants should not have the same success. Although children of Mexican immigrants do better, in terms of educational and professional attainment, than their parents UCLA sociologist Edward Telles has found that the gains don’t continue. Indeed, the fouth generation is marginally worse off than the third James Jackson, of the University of Michigan, has found a similar trend among black Caribbean immigrants, Tells fears that Mexican-Americans may be fated to follow in the footsteps of American blacks-that large parts of the community may become mired（陷入）in a seemingly permanent state of poverty and Underachievement. Like African-Americans, Mexican-Americans are increasingly relegated to (降入)segregated, substandard schools, and their dropout rate is the highest for any ethnic group in the country. We have learned much about the foolish idea of excluding people on the presumption of the ethnic/racial inferiority. But what we have not yet learned is how to make the process of Americanization work for all. I am not talking about requiring people to learn English or to adopt American ways; those things happen pretty much on their own, but as arguments about immigration hear up the campaign trail, we also ought to ask some broader question about assimilation, about how to ensure that people , once outsiders , don’t forever remain marginalized within these shores. That is a much larger question than what should happen with undocumented workers, or how best to secure the border, and it is one that affects not only newcomers but groups that have been here for generations. It will have more impact on our future than where we decide to set the admissions bar for the latest ware of would-be Americans. And it would be nice if we finally got the answer right. 1. How were immigrants viewed by U.S. Congress in early days? A) They were of inferior races. B) They were a Source of political corruption. C) They were a threat to the nation’s security. D) They were part of the nation’s bloodstream. 2. What does the author think of the new immigrants? A) They will be a dynamic work force in the U.S. B) They can do just as well as their predecessors. C) They will be very disappointed on the new land. D) They may find it hard to fit into the mainstream. 3. What does Edward Telles’ research say about Mexican-Americans? A) They may slowly improve from generation to generation. B) They will do better in terms of educational attainment. C) They will melt into the African-American community. D) They may forever remain poor and underachieving. 4. What should be done to help the new immigrants? A) Rid them of their inferiority complex. B) Urge them to adopt American customs. C) Prevent them from being marginalized. D) Teach them standard American English. 5. According to the author, the burning issue concerning immigration is_______. A) How to deal with people entering the U.S. without documents B) How to help immigrants to better fit into American society C) How to stop illegal immigrants from crossing the border D) How to limit the number of immigrants to enter the U.S.

2018年6月大学英语六级阅读100篇：自然环境 ”The world’s environment is surprisingly healthy. Discuss.”If that were an examination topic, most students would tear it apart. offering a long list of complaints: from local smog (烟雾) to global climate change, from the felling(砍伐) of forests to the extinction of species. The list would largely be accurate,the concern legitimate. Yet the students who should be given the highest marks would actually be those who agreed with the statement. The surprise is how good things are, not how bad. After all. the world’s population has more than tripled during this century, and world output has risen hugely. so you would expect the earth itself to have been affected. Indeed, if people lived, consumed and produced things in the same way as they did in 1900 (or 1950. or indeed 1980), the world by now would be a pretty disgusting place: smelly, dirty. toxic and dangerous. But they don’t. The reasons why they don’t. and why the environment has not been ruined. have to do with prices. technological innovation, social change and government regulation in response to popular pressure. That is why today’s environmental problems in the poor countries ought. in principle, to be solvable. Raw materials have not run out. and show no sign of doing so. Logically. one day they must: the planet is a finite place. Yet it is

六级阅读理解100篇文本（完成版）Can the Computer Learn from Experience 计算机会总结经验吗 Computers have been taught to play not only checkers, but also championship chess, which is a fairly accurate yardstick for measuring the computer’s progress in the ability to learn from experience. Because the game requires logical reasoning, chess would seem to be perfectly suited to the computer .all a programmer has to do is give the computer a program evaluating the consequences of every possible response to every possible move, and the computer will win every time. In theory this is a sensible approach; in practice it is impossible. Today, a powerful computer can analyze 40 000 moves a second. That is an impressive speed. But there are an astronomical number of possible moves in chess—literally trillions. Even if such a program were written (and in theory it
