《全新版大学英语(第二版)快速阅读1》部分原文A Country of ImmigrantsAs you walk along the street in any American city,you see many different faces.You see oriental faces of the United States,a country of immigrants from all over the world.Immigrants are people who leave one country to live permanently in another country.The first immigrants came to North America in the 1600s from northern European countries such as England and Holland.These people generally hadlight skin and light hair.They came to live in North America because they wanted religious freedom.In the 1700s and early 1800s immigrants continued to move from Europe to the United States.At this time there was one group of unwilling immigrants,black Africans.These people were tricked or forced to come to the United States,where they worked on the large farms in thesouth.The blacks had no freedom;they were slaves.In the 1800s many Chinese and Irish immigrants came to the United States.They came because of economic or political problems in their countries.The most recent immigrants to the UnitedStates,the Indochinese,Cubans,and Central Americans also came because of economic or political problems in their own countries.Except for theblacks,most of these immigrants thought of the United States as a land of opportunities,of a chance for freedom and new lives.In the United States,these immigrants looked for help from other immigrants who shared the same background,language,andreligion.Therefore,there are neighborhoods in each U.S. city made up almost entirely of one ethnic or racial group.There are all Italian,all Puerto Rican,or all Irish neighborhoods in many East Coast cities and all Mexican neighborhoods in the Southwest.In Dearborn,Michigan,there is a large group of Lebanese.There are racial neighborhoods such as oriental Chinatown in New York.There are also neighborhoods with a strong religious feeling such as a Jewish part of Brooklyn in New York.And,of course,there are economic neighborhooddivisions;in American cities very often poor people do not live in the same neighborhoods as rich people.This wide variety of neighborhoods in the cities is a reflection of the different groups in American society. American society is a mixture ofracial,language,cultural,religious,and economicgroups.People sometimes call America a melting pot and compare its society to a soup with many different ingredients.The ingredients (differentraces,cultures,religions,and economicgroups)supposedly mix together to make a smooth soup.But,in reality,there are a few lumps left in the soup.Andrew CarnegieOne of the captains of industry of 19th century America,AndrewCarnegie,helped build the American steel industry,a process that turned a poor young man into one of the richestentrepreneurs of his age. Later in his life,Carnegie sold hie steel business and systematically gave his fortune away to cultural,educational and scientific institutions for “the improvement of mankind.”Carnegie was born in Dunfermline,Scotland,in 1835.The town was a center of the linenindustry,and Andrew?s father was a weaver,a profession the young Carnegie was expected to follow.But the industrial revolution that would later make Carnegie the richest man in the world,destroyed the weavers? craft.When the steam-powered looms came to Dunfermline in 1847,hundreds of handloom weavers became unemployed.Andrew?s mother opened a small grocery shop and mended shoes to support the family.“I began to learn what poverty meant,”Andrew would later write.”It was burnt into my heart then that my father had to beg for work.And then and there came the determination that I would cure when I got to be a man.”The family moved to the United States in 1848,and began a new life inPittsburgh,Pennsylvania.William Carnegie secured work in a cotton factory and his son Andrew took work in the same building as a bobbin boy for $1.20 a ter,Carnegie worked as a messenger boy in the city?s telegraphoffice.He did each job to the best of his ability and seized every opportunity to take on new responsibilities.For example,he memorized Pittsburgh?s street layout as well as the important name and addresses of those he delivered to.Carnegie often was asked to deliver messages to the theater.He arranged to make these deliveries at night-and stayed on to watch plays by Shakespeare and other great writers.In what would be a life-long pursuit of knowledge,Carnegie also took advantage of a small library that a local benefactor made available to working boys.One of the men Carnegie met at the telegraph office was ThomasA.Scott,then a director at Pennsylvania Railroad.Scott was taken by the young worker and referred to him as “my boy Andy,”hiring him as his private secretary and personal telegrapher at $35 a month.“I couldn?t imagine,”Carnegie said many years later,”what I could ever do with so muchmoney.”Carnegie was always eager to shoulder new responsibilities,and he worked his way up the ladder in Pennsylvania Railroad and succeeded Scott as head of the Pittsburgh Division.As the outbreak of the Civil War,Scott was responsible for military transportation for the North and Carnegie worked as his right-hand man.The Civil War fueled the iron industry,and by the time the war wasover,Carnegie saw thepotential in the field and resigned from Pennsylvania Railroad.It was one of many brave moves that would typify Carnegie?s life in industry and earn him his fortune.He then turned his attention to the Keystone Bridge Company,which worked to replace wooden bridges with stronger iron ones.In three years he had an annual income of $50,000.Carnegie would continue making huge amounts of money for the next 30 years.To improve the efficiency of his steel plant,Carnegie would make use of the Bessemer Process,which was the first cheap process for mass-producing steel.Carnegie threw his own money into the process and even borrowed heavily to build a new steel plant near Pittsburgh.Carnegie was strict in keeping down costs and managed by the saying “watch costs and the profits take care of themselves.”“I thi nk Carnegie?s genius was first of all,an ability to foresee how things were going tochange,”says historian John Ingram. “Once he saw that something was of potential benefit to him,he was willing to invest enormously in it.”Still,Carnegie?s steel plants developed rapidly,and by 1900,Carnegie Steel produced more of the metal than all of Great Britain.That was also the year that financier J.P.Morgan issued a major challenge to Carnegie?s steel empire.While Carnegie believed he could beat Morgan in a battle that couldlast five,10 or 15 years,the fight did not appeal to the 64-year-old man eager to spend more time with his wife Louise,whom he had married in 1886 at the age of 51,and their daughter,Margaret.Carnegie wrote the asking price for his steel business on a piece of paper and had one of hismanagers deliver the offer to Morgan.Morgan accepted immediately,buying the company for $480 million. “Congratulations,Mr.Carnegie,”Morgan said to Carnegie when they finali zed the deal, “you are now the richest man in the world.”Carnegie liked to say that “the man who dies rich dies disgraced,”and turned his attention to giving away his fortune.He disliked charity,and instead put his money to use helping others help themselves.That was the reason he spent much of his fortune on establishing over 2,500 publiclibraries as well as supporting institutions of higher learning.By the time Carnegie?s life was over,he gave away 350million dollars.I.M.PeiI.M.Pei is sitting in his living room and is talking about architecture or the designing of buildings. “It is not just an idea,but the way in which that idea is done,that is important.This is what I mean by the ?architecture of ideas.?I worry that ideas and the practice of architecture as a profession,as a business,do not come together often enough.”He stops,then adds: “Maybe my early training set me back.Maybe it made me too practical.”That is an unexpected comment from a man like Pei,who runs a business that employs manypeople and has important customers all over the world.I.M.Pei questioning the value of money.Yet his company,I.M.Pei &Partners,is more than just abusiness that designs buildings.It has always tried to bring together beauty and art with business sense,and today it is probably the leaderamong American architecture companies that do very well both artistically and commercially.It is hard enough to become well know either as an artistic or as a business success in architecture:to do so as both is unusual and surprising.I.M.Pei,a leader in his field for more than thirty years,seems to get better and busier as the years go by.One reason for his success is that he is well known as a kind and thoughtful person.But it is also because of the seriousness of his work.He believes in improving on and developing from styles and designs that have been used before,not in newness for its ownpanies hire himbecause they believe that his designs are strong and modern without being shocking.Pei?s style is based on geometric forms,like most of the architecture of modern times.But he has continued to use these forms while other important architects have begun to change theirstyles,making use of the forms of architecture from other countries and other periods in history.Ieoh Ming Pei was born in China in 1917,but he calls himself “an American architect -absolutely.”He went to the United States in 1935 to studyarchitecture,and remained there because of the war.In the late1940s he got a very good job and decided to become an American citizen.He has lived in New York since then,but he never forgotten the land of his childhood.In 1978 Pei was invited to design s hotel in China.It was a very difficult thing for him to do beca use “there seems to be only two choices - either to copy the old Chinese style with red columns and golden roofs or to build modern Western buildings.I do not think either of these is right.There has to be a third way.”Pei?s “third way”is very much li ke traditional Chinese architecture.It uses the same kinds ofmaterials and forms,and is only different in one important aspect:it well have a flat roof instead of a curved one because that kind is safer and less expensive.In New York City,IM.Pei&Partners will build a convention center,that is,a large building for meetings and shows that will be much bigger than the hotel in Beijing,and in some ways much simpler.In fact,the biggest problem is that the center may look too much like a large box.Therefore they are working to create a number of public areas within the one huge space.These will be used for other things even when there are no special meetings or shows,and will make the building itself into a tourist attraction.It is possible that Pei?s way of working may soon change,becoming morelike one or the other of the two major modern directions.He might decide to make more use of the styles and ideas of the architecture of older cultures (as he did with his hotel in China)or he might decide to treat his buildings even more artistically (as he did the Kennedy Library in Boston).But it does not seem likely that Pei?s work will move strongly in either direction.He believes his work gives hiscustomers what they want and he tries to make his buildings fit the jobs they are supposed to do.Internet Love Can WorkI had heard of the chat room on the Internet,but it had never appealed to me.Talking to total strangers that you cannot see struck me as too strange.One day I was surfing the net,when Idiscovered MSN?s chat rooms and making up a nickname decided to just watch and see what all the fuss was about.There on the screen were twenty or so people who were chatting away about anything and everything.As I studied the conversations,afraid to join on and expose myself as a “newbie”,I was drawn to one person.She was intelligent,witty and expressed a love of the UK,my home.Her name was Linda and she was from California,a part of the States I had never seen butwas interested in.So summoning up all my courage,I said hi and introduced myself.We began to chat and I found that it was very relaxed to the point that I was amazed when the conversation ended.We had been chatting for two whole hours,totally ignoring everyone else in the room.We parted company,saying that we hoped we would bump into each other again.All that next day,I wondered ifthat was just a polite goodbye or if she really wanted to continue our conversation.That evening I logged on,half of me hoping Linda would be there,the other half afraid that she wouldn?t.Sure enough,she wasn?t in the chat room and I sat at the computer screen only half reading the conversations that flashed up before me.Then Linda?s name appeared and with the usual “Hi room”, she said “Hi Vince”.My life suddenly became brighter in that instant.I kepttelling myself it was crazy,here was a woman I only just met,hardly knew and yet I had missed her all day.We chatted again,and the hours vanished,with the other chatters leaving us alone in the room.I had dated quite a few times in my then twenty-five years of life,but never had anyone taken my interest so completely as this stranger from across the sea.We discussed everything,ourlikes,dislikes,our troubles and our pleasures and the more we talked the more amazed we became at how much we had in common.Weeks went by and every evening we would meet up and talk,the two hours becoming three,then four.We exchanged pictures,but were both afraid we would blow it by doing so.And ,as I looked at her picture on my screen,I was amazed at the fact that no one had snapped up this American beauty in the years since her graduation from college.The weeks had become months and we both admitted we had feelings for each other,our friendship becoming something far greater.Then came the time that anyone who ever had an Internet relationship will know...the meeting.Linda had said that she would fly to the UK to meet me,but I insisted that I flew to the States.I explained to her my fears that should she come to me and for some reason we didn?t hit it off,then she would be a woman alone in a strange country where as for a guy it wouldn?t be so bad.Linda finally agreed and a week or two later I found myself on a plane winging my way to San Diego.We had arranged that I would be met by her brother who would drop me off at my hotel and that I would ring her once I had freshened up and she would come over and we would go out for a meal.Forty five minutes of pacing up and down after I made the call,there was a knock on the door.I opened the door to the most beautiful woman I had ever known.Both of us were nervous when we kissed hello.We looked into each other?s eyes and thatkiss became another filled with all the emotions that had developed over the months of online chatting.I stayed for two weeks taking Linda out after she finished work at the local hospital.And we fell head over heels in love.I returned home,and missed Linda like crazy,the online chat now seeming so pale in comparison with holding the woman I loved in my arms.Linda missed me too and so I jumped on a plane and went back this time for a month.This went on for five visits and each time I would extend my return ticket because we couldn?t bear to part.感谢您的阅读，祝您生活愉快。

Directions: Read the following passages, and then select the best choice for each of the questions or incomplete statements.Passage 1快速阅读自查表数以百万计美国学生参加服务计画. 他们在他们的社区中帮助人如他们的教育部份. 他们像改良处理计画那environment and feeding homeless people. Many school systems in the United States now require students to do some kind of community service as part of their studies.Students involved (使卷入) in service projects help themselves as well as their communities. They learn about the needs of people and aid organizations. Some college administrators (事务管理人) say public service may also help high school graduates gain acceptance to the college oftheir choice.Many schools in the United States offer courses in what is called service-learning. These educational programs teach methods to aid the community.For example, Nicholas Senn High School in Chicago, Illinois, is one of these schools. It has received national honors for its service-learning program. Students there were not doing well in their studies back when the program began in 1997. Teachers say doing community service has led many students to work harder in school. School officials say mathematics and reading skills haveimproved.Wilkinson Junior High School in Middleburg, Florida, also has received national honors for its service-learning program. Its twelve- and thirteen-year-old students work on two major projects. They are helping to find the best ways to restore (使复位) trees to an area of land that was used for mining titanium (钛). They also test water from the nearby Saint John's River and report the results to local water officials.Teachers try to link their classroom material with current community needs. For example, a history teacher talked about the issue of hunger in some American communities. After that, students helped at a food center for poor people.Students at some schools come from many other countries. They speak different languages. Even students who have just arrived from other nations perform communityPublic schools are not the only ones that require community service. Bishop Ireton High School is a private Roman Catholic school. In one project, students there organized programs for people who lived in a retirement center near the school.(Words: 347)1. What is the main idea of the passage?A) American service programs are gaining popularity now.B) Service programs help American students win college acceptance.C) American schools involve students in community service.D) American service programs have helped many people.2.

How do American schools help students better serve their communities?A) They call on students to improve the environment.B) They train students to aid the community.C) They provide students with extracurricular activities.D) They link school courses with student needs.4. Students from Wilkinson Junior High School help to _________.A) restore trees to an old titanium-mining landB) test water from a local fiverC) report test results to local water officialsD) All above.5. Which of the following claims would supporters of service-learning programs in schools make?A) It is good for growing youths to be physically active.B) Students should learn how to make a living.C) Students should contribute to the communities in which they live.D) Students should help pay for school taxes.When I come across a good essay in the newspaper, I often cut it and keep it. But just as I am about to do so I find the article on the opposite side of the page just as interesting.It may be a discussion about a way to keep in good health, or advice about how to behave and conduct oneself in society. If I cut the front essay, the other one on the back of the page will suffer damage, leaving out half of it or the text will be kept but missing the subject. As a result, my scissors (剪刀) would stop before they start, or only halfway done when I find out the regrettable consequence.Sometimes, two things are to be done at the same time, both deserving your attention. You can only take up one of them, the other has to wait or even be given up. But you know the future is unknown--- the changed situation may not allow you to do what is left behind. Thus, you are caught in a fix and you may feel sad. How come that nice opportunities and brilliant ideas should gather around all at once. It may happen that your life changes dramatically on your preference of one alternative over the other.In fact, that is what life is like: we are often faced with two choices that are equally desirable, just like what happens during newspaper-cutting. It often occurs that our attention is drawn to one thing only after we are engaged in another. The latter may be more important than the former and thus giving rise to a divided mind. I still remember a philosopher's remarks: "When one door shuts, another one opens in life." So casual passive choice may not necessarily be bad one.Whatever we do in our lifetime, wherever life's storms toss (抛) us, there must be something we can achieve, some shore we can land on that opens up new vistas (景色)for us. Don't forget there is always an alternative door open for every one. While the first door is closed, there must be another that is open for you.(Words:360)1. What annoys the writer when it comes to newspaper-cutting?A) There is a quite limited number of good essays.B) It takes too much time and effort to do it.C) Some of the articles will be inevitably damaged.D) He can't cut out the good articles on the opposite side of the same page.2. What does the third paragraph mainly tell us?A) There are often two good things both deserving our attention.B) Life is just like newspaper-cutting.C) Good opportunities and ideas often come to us at once.D) One has to decide on one's preference.3. Life and newspaper-cutting are alike because _________.A) in both cases we have choices to makeB) newspaper-cutting is an important part in lifeC) there is always a door openD) casual choice is always bad4. “When one door shuts, another one opens in life.” (Para. 4) means “________.”A) When we shut one door, we have to open anotherB) There is always a way for us whatever happensC) There are many doors in our livesD) Keep all doors open is important5. The author believes that ___________.A) one has to be educated to make choicesB) one will feel regretful if one chooses one thing instead of the otherC) a casual choice may turn out to be a good oneD) newspaper-cutting needs patienceII. Directions: Read the following passages, and then decide whether the statements are true (T) or false (F).Passage 3When my athletic career as a baseball player was on track in 1960, I was diagnosed with sarcoma (恶性肿瘤) in my fight shoulder, which sent me to the hospital. The All-Star Team went to Hawaii, and I went to the hospital. I was really bitter and angry and hurt and outraged, but we didn't have any therapy (治疗) in those days that said you needed to grieve (悲伤) a loss. I was denying it fight away by saying I could handle it. "What's this?" I said. "Just a mastectomy (乳房切除术) and the loss of an arm." It was about thirty-five years ago. Then, about twenty-five years ago, I went through another very difficult time. Job loss, loss of a relationship. You know, "Loss, loss, and loss." I went to a counselor (心理顾问), Ray Chapman who took me through a grieving process, because I had never grieved the loss of my athletic career, the loss of my physical wholeness, any losses, and he said that goodness could come out of this. After my second meeting with Ray Chapman, I got a job as a mechanic, and I became kind of famous. I was the "One Armed Mechanic," installing engines and such. It really came back to me then that had I not gone through the cancer, I wouldn't have become a mechanic and later a hot racer. I also later met a wonderful woman with whom I had a ten-year relationship which led to the birth of my son.I found that for me, goodness and beauty have come out of deformity (畸形). I still use the words ugliness and crippledness (残废). My friends try to tell me that I am not crippled. But what they don't understand is that I am, and what I have done is in spite of what's been done to me. I try to remind them that we're all crippled in some way. I say, "I can't see what cripples you. I can't see what you've been through. I have an advantage over you, because I see it every day."(Words: 337)( ) 1. There was no counseling twenty-five years ago to help a person recover from a loss.( ) 2. According to the passage, the narrator suffered two losses in his life.( ) 3. The narrator discovered that the setbacks he had turned out later to be blessings. ( ) 4. The narrator showed extraordinary courage in handling all the losses.( ) 5. The narrator believes everybody is crippled in some way, only that others can't see it.Passage 4Each of us fails from time to time. If we are wise, we accept these failures as a necessary part of the learning process. But all too often as parents and teachers we deny this same right to our children. We convey either by words or by actions that failure is something to be ashamed of, that nothing but top performance meets with our approval.When I see a child subject to this kind of pressure, I think of Donnie. Donnie was my youngest third-grader. He was a shy, nervous perfectionist. His fear of failure kept him from classroom games that other children played with joyous abandon (纵情). He seldom answered questions--- he might be wrong. Written assignments, especially math, reduced him to nail-biting frustration (沮丧). He seldom finished his work because he repeatedly checked with me to be sure he hadn't made a mistake. I tried my best to build his self-confidence. But nothing changed until midterm, when Mary Anne, a student teacher, was assigned to our classroom.She was young and pretty, and she loved children. My pupils, Donnie included, adored her. But even the enthusiastic and loving Mary Anne was baffled (难到) by this little boy who feared he might make a mistake.Then one morning, we were working on math problems at the chalkboard. Donnie had copied the problems with painstaking neatness and filled in the answers for the first row. Pleased with his progress, I left the children with Mary Anne and went for art materials. When I returned, Donnie was in tears. He'd missed the third problem.My student teacher looked at me in despair. Suddenly her face brightened. From the desk we shared, she got a canister ( 金属罐) filled with pencils."Look, Donnie," she said, kneeling (跪) beside him and gently lifting the tear-stained face from his arms. "I've got something to show you." She removed the pencils, one at a time, and placed them on his desk."See these pencils, Donnie?" she continued. "They belong to Mrs. Lindstrom and me. See how the erasers are worn? That's because we make mistakes, too. Lots of them. But we erase the mistakes and try again. That's what you must learn to do, too."She kissed him and stood up. "Here," she said, "I'11 leave one of these pencils on your desk so you'll remember that everybody makes mistakes, even teachers." Donnie looked up with love in his eyes and just a glimmer (一丝) of a smile---the first that I saw on his face that year.The pencil became Donnie's prized possession. That, together with Mary Anne'sfrequent encouragement and unfailing praise for even Donnie's smallest successes, gradually persuaded him that it's all right to make mistakes--- as long as you erase them and try again.(Words: 456)( ) 1. We can learn from the passage that all failures are learning opportunities to grow. ( ) 2. Parents and teachers often tell children that failure is a necessary part of life. ( ) 3. Donnie was severely held back by his fear of failure in school.( ) 4. Mary Anne was showing by example that making mistakes is a part of life. ( ) 5. Donnie realized that it's okay to make mistakes because an eraser can erase mistakes.III.

Now that they're divorced, I've gotten to know him more because I'm with him every weekend. And I really look forward to the weekends because it's kind of like a break--it's like going to Disneyland because there's no set schedule ( [日程表], no "Be home by five thirty" kind of stuff. It's open. It's free. And my father is always buying me presents.My mom got remarried and divorced again so I've gone through two divorces so far. And my father's also gotten remarried to someone I don't get along with all that well. It's all made me feel that people shouldn't get married---they should just live together and make their own agreement. Then, if things go badly, they don't have to get divorced and hire lawyers and sue (上诉) each other. And even more importantly, they don't have to end up hating each other.I'd say that the worst part of the divorce is the money problem. It's been hard on my mom because lots of times she can't pay her bills, and it makes her angry when I stay with my father and he buys me things. She gets mad and says, "If he can buy you things like this, then he should be able to pay me." And I feel caught in the middle for two reasons: first, I can't really enjoy whatever my dad bought for me, and second, I don't know who to believe. My dad's saying, "I don't really owe her any money," and my mom's saying he does.In a lot of ways I wish my mom would get remarried, because then she wouldn't have to worry so much about finances (资金). But I'm sorry that my dad got remarried, because I feel left out a lot of times. And one thing I really worry about is that I think he and his new wife want to have a baby, and I know that if they do, it will be just like a replacement for me. If I live full-time with my dad, it would probably be easier for me to accept a baby because we'd be on an equal footing, but I'd rather stay with my mom, where life is normal as we live like most people live. With breakfast at breakfast time and dinner at dinner time, I can do my homework, play with my friends--- it's the way life should be. However, if I live with my dad, it might be more fun at times, but I would go crazy. I wouldn't want to be brought up in Disneyland. (Words: 444)1.

These camps may be in the mountains. Or they may be in the woods, or at a lake. Some camps teach activities like painting or music. Or they teach puter programming or foreign languages. Children at all kinds of camps meet new friends. They learn new skills and develop independence.Some children go to camp during the day and return home at night. Others stay at camp all day and all night. Children stay at an overnight camp for between one and eight weeks. Parents can pay less than one hundred dollars or more than seven-hundred dollars a week for an overnight camps.Children from poor families might not have a chance to attend summer camp. The Fresh Air Fund is a well-known organization. People around the country give money to support the Fresh Air Fund. Each summer it sends ten thousand poor children to stay with families in the country or to five camps in New York State.Summer camps have bee very important to millions of families. Many American women now work outside the home. Working parents need a place where their children can be cared for during the summer when they are not in school.Young people who like the arts can learn about painting, music, acting or writing. Camps that offer programs in science and environmental studies are popular, too. There are also camps for older children who like wilderness (野外) adventure.

He was walking through a meadow 〔草地〕of tall grass when he noticed something strange. In the center of the meadow was a huge oak〔橡树〕tree. The ground beneath it was lower than the surrounding ground. Daniel knew that pirates (海盗)had once sailed in the waters around the island. The next day Daniel returned to the island with shovels〔铲子〕and two friends. The boys began digging and soon discovered a layer of stones. Under the stones was a hole about four meters wide. It was filled with loose dirt. The boys kept digging for several days. Three meters below the ground their shovels hit an oak floor. They kept digging.But when they discovered another oak floor nine meters below the ground, they decided that they couldn’t dig any deeper.Eight years later, Daniel McGinnis returned with a group of men to continue digging beneath the oak tree. One evening, 30 meters below the ground, their shovels hit a large wooden box. The box had to be a treasure chest (大箱子)！The men went home to rest until daylight. When they returned in the morning, there was an unpleasant surprise—the hole had fi lled with water. The men couldn’t remove the water.During the following 200 years, dozens of search groups have dug in the hole, but each group only made the hole bigger. The hole that was once four meter wide is now enormous. The oak tree is now gone. Where is the hole that Daniel McGinnis found?

Directions: Read the following passages, and then fill in the blanks with the missing information.Passage 3The song “Happy Birthday to You〞is sung all over the world just before the birthday boy or girl blows out the candles on the cake. It is so simple that children as young as three can sing it. The song, with its original 〔最初的〕title “Good Morning to You〞, was written in 1893 by the two sisters, Mildred and Patty Smith Hill. They were the daughters of a progressive Kentucky couple, who believed in female education at a time—the mid-nineteenth century—when it was still a novel idea and who trained their two daughters to be schoolteachers. They were long involved in elementary education, and Patty, in particular. She achieved a lot as a pioneer in kindergarten education, and for several decades a major spokesman for preschool education. She taught at Columbia University’s Teachers College from 1905 to 1935, and at her retirement became one of the first women to be named an honorary (荣誉的)professor by Columbia.A birthday cake with burning candles is also an important part at one’s birthday party. It may derive, distantly from the ancient Greek practice of offering to Artemis, goddess of the hunt and of the moon, a round honey cake into which a candle was stuck. After German bakers invented the modern birthday cake in the Middle Ages, a similar custom was adopted fro the advocate 〔提倡〕of good spirits at birthdays. The cake, ready by morning, would be surrounded by burning candles, in a kind of protective fire circle, and they would be kept lit all day, until dessert time at the evening meal.(Words: 262)1. The passage is about .2. In the mid-nineteenth century was still a new idea.3. Patty made great achievement in .4. The cake today may e from.5. The candles on a birthday cake were kept burning from morning.Passage 4Most of us have formed an unrealistic picture of life on a desert island. We sometimes imagine a desert island to be a sort of paradise 〔天堂〕where the sun always shines. Life there is simple and good. Ripe fruits fall from the trees and you never have to work. The other side of the picture is quite the opposite. Life on a desert island is wretched. You either starve to death or live like Robinson Crusoe, waiting for a boatwhich never es. Perhaps there is an element of truth in both pictures, but few of us would ever have the opportunity to find out.Two men who recently spent five days on a coral island wished they had stayed there longer. They were taking a badly damaged boat from the Virgin Islands to Miami to have it repaired. During the journey, their boat began to sink. They quickly loaded a small rubber dinghy 〔船上附属的小船〕with food, matches, and cans of beer and rowed for a few miles across the Caribbean until they arrived at a tiny coral island. There were hardly any trees on the island and there was no water, but this did not prove to be a problem. The men collected rain-water in the rubber dinghy. As they had brought a spear gun with them, they had plenty to eat. They caught lobster and fish every day, and, as one of them put it “ate like kings〞. When a passing tanker rescued them five days later, both men were genuinely sorry that they had to leave.(Words 258 ) 1.The two pictures of life on a deserted island people tend to have are:.2. Neither of the two opposite pictures of life on a desert island .3. The two men made the journey to Miami to .4. Water was no problem for the two men on the island because.5.

Directions: Read the following passages, and then decide whether the statements are true (T) or false (F).Passage 5When someone who is in good health dies suddenly, there is usually an inquest.An inquest is a kind of court inquiry. The person in charge of an inquest is called a coroner. His job is to find out exactly how a person died.If there is nothing suspicious(可疑的)about the death, he would decide that the person died from natural causes or an accident. If, however, he is suspicious, he may decide that the person’s death was caused by a person or persons unknown.At one inquest, the coroner was trying to find out exactly what had caused the death of a local businessman, Henry Smith.The man’s widow was offering the evidence. She was very upset and had to stop from time to time.The coroner did not want to upset her more than necessary, but he had to find out the truth. There were questions he had to ask her.“Mrs. Smith, I know this is too much for you,〞he said, “but I want you to think very carefully and then answer my questions.〞“You and your husband were having dinner at home. Is that correct?〞“Yes.〞“Suddenly he fell to the floor.〞“Yes.〞“Did he say anything?〞The widow lowered her head.“Please, Mrs. Smith, you must answer the question. What were his last words?〞The widow took a deep breath and then spoke. “He said,〞he whisper ed, “I’m not surprised you were charged only 50 cents for that seafood we had for dinner.〞(Words: 249) ( ) 1.

The pany would also pay a sum equal to five percent.When an employee retire 〔退休〕from the pany, he could take with him all the money that he and the pany had put into his pension fund.“I will open the pension fund〞, the president of th e pany said, “as soon as you all agree to join. Unless you all join, I won’t open the fund. You’ve got a week to make up your minds.〞The idea was very a good one and everyone except Joe Bloggs agreed to join.“I don’t understand it,〞Bloggs said.His co-workers tried to explain it to him, but he just kept saying, “I still don’t understand it.〞Time passed and there was only an hour left until the week was up.The president sent for Joe Bloggs to e to his office on the 20th floor.“Mr. Bloggs,〞he said, “a ll the employees agree with what I am going to say to you, so listen carefully.〞“It had better be good,〞Bloggs said.“Oh, it is,〞the president said. “If you don’t agree to join the pension fund before I finish counting to ten, the security guards will throw you out of the window.〞Joe Bloggs immediately signed the form which said he would agree to join the plan. “Now that you have explained it clearly,〞he said, “of course I’ll join.〞(Words: 274) ( ) 1.

In this article he explains why.PUBLIC ATTITUDE S TOWARD SCIENCEWhether we like it or not, the world we live in has changed a great deal in the last hundred years, and it is likely to change even more in the next hundred. Some people would like to stopthese changes and go back to what they see aswonderful. It was not so bad for a privileged minority, though even they had to do without modern medicine, and childbirth was highly risky for women. But for the vast majority of the population, life was nasty, brutish, and short.AnywayKnowledge and technique sNor can one prevent further advance s in the future. Even if all government money for research were cut off (and thepresent government is doing its bestwould still bring about advance s in technology. Moreover, onewhether or not they are paid for it. The only way to prevent further development s would be a global state that suppresse d anything new, and human initiative and inventiveness are suchthat even this wouldn't succeedIf we accept that we cannot prevent science and technology from changing our world, we can at least try to ensure that the changes they make are in the right direction s. In a democratic society, this mean s that the public need s to have a basic understanding of science, so that it can make informed decision s（有根据的决定）s. Atthe moment, the public is in two minds about science.it also distrust s science because it doesn't understand it. This distrust is evident in the cartoon figure of the mad scientist working in his laboratory to produce aBut the public also has a great interest in science, particularly astronomy, as is shown by the largeaudience s for television series such as The Sky at Night and for science fiction.What can be done to harness this interest and give the public the scientific background it needs to make informed decision s on subject s like acid rain, the greenhouse effect, nuclear weapon s, and genetic engineering? Clearly, the basis must lie in what is taught in schools. But in schools science is often present ed in a dry and uninteresting manner. Children learn it by rote to pass examination s, and they don't see its relevance to the world around them. Moreover, science is often taught in terms of equation s. Although equations are a brief and accurate way of describing mathematical idea s, they frighten most people. When I wrote a popular book recently, I was advise d that each equation I include d would halve the sale s. I included one equation, Einstein's famous equation, E=mc2. Maybe I would have sold twice as many copies without it.Scientists and engineer s tend to express their idea s in the form of equations because they need to know the precise value s of quantities. But for the rest of us, a qualitative grasp of scientific concept s is sufficient, and this can be convey ed by words and diagram s, without the use of equations.The science people learn in school can provide the basic framework. But the rate of scientific progress is now so rapid that there are always new development s that have occur red since one was at school or university. I never learned about molecular biology or transistor s at school, but genetic engineering and computers are two of the developments most likely to change the way we live in the future. Popular books and magazine article s about science can help to put across new developments, but even the most successful popular book is read by only a small proportion of the population. Only television can reach a truly mass audience. There are some very good science programme s on TV, but others present scientific wonder s simply as magic, without explaining them or showing how they fit into the framework of scientific ideas. Producer s of television science programmes should realize that they have a responsibility to educate the public, not just entertain it.The world today is filled with dangers, hence the sick joke that the reason we have not been contact ed by an alien civilization is that civilizations tend to destroy themselves when they reach our stage.
