unit 8Part 1 Reading comprehensionDirections: Read the following passages carefully. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished sentences. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. Choose the best answer to each question.Questions 1 to 5 are based on the same passage or dialog. Manners evolved differently in different cultures. In earlier times there was a tendency for manners to become increasingly formal, and this was often viewed as progress. In the 18th and 19th centuries having good manners was seen as an important part of one's education and social class, and it was necessary to be taken as a lady or a gentleman to get ahead in the world.In the 20th and 21st centuries, manners have gradually become more relaxed and informal. The hosting of dinners and other social gatherings are no longer the exclusive privilege of the wealthy elite (精英), and private clubs are being gradually replaced by more open meeting places. So the manners of the salon (沙龙) are gradually combining with the manners of the pub. Clothing is a good indication of the changes in manners, as can be seen in the following examples.It is surprising that the wearing of hats indoors by males is once again becoming acceptable. Students in North America often wear baseball caps to class. In many countries the wearing of hats indoors by males was once acceptable even in very polite society, but over the years this became considered as a lower-class behavior and was thus discouraged in both the middle and upper classes. The young people who wear hats indoors do not realize they are actually restarting a very old cultural tradition.A comparable development for females is the wearing of jeans. Many females now wear jeans on a daily basis, either at home or at work. Some see this as a symbolic declaration that they are now modern women, not girls or ladies. Some girls, like boys, wear baseball caps both indoors and outdoors.Sneakers and shorts are now acceptable for either males or females in a variety of non-athletic situations. Some companies have rules requiring informal dress such as jeans or sneakers on Fridays (called "dress-downFriday" or "casual Friday"), and others permit it almost all the time. In these companies, and many others, it is acceptable to call the bosses by their first names.1.What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Changes of manners over time.B. Formal manners in the earlier times.C. Different manners in different cultures.D. Development of manners in different classes.2.In the 20th and 21st centuries, _________.A. manners are not as formal as in the pastB. manners in a pub are getting more and more formalC. proper clothing is a good indication of good mannersD. rich people no longer behave formally in social gatherings3.According to the passage, "the manners of the salon" in paragraph2 most likely refers to __________.A. Formal manners of drinking.B. Informal manners of drinking.C. Formal manners at social gatherings.D. Informal manners at social gatherings.4.According to the passage, nowadays wearing a hat indoors canactually be viewed as _________.A. a revolutionB. social progressC. a worsening situationD. a return to the old tradition5.According to the author, today wearing hats indoors, and wearingjeans at work mainly indicate that _________.A. women are no longer inferior to menB. people no longer pay attention to dressing detailsC. people are getting more relaxed in terms of mannersD. some companies have lower requirements for their employeesQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the same passage or dialog.Between the 1950s and the early 1980s, the evolving role of Japanese women had been most obvious in their attitudes toward marriage and the family system. There had been a trend away from arranged marriages. Many young women admitted that they took paid employment mostly in order to find a husband on their own. In spite of this and other influences a 1982 figure showed that almost 40 percent of marriages were still arranged. This figure was, however, half the size of a 1955 survey which showed that almost 81 percent of marriages were arranged. Once married, many women in the early 1980s continued to work, and increasingly they returned to work after childbirth, something which was hard to imagine a generation before. A woman's role in the family was evolving as well, becoming more and more dominant.Women had sought more personal satisfaction from their lives since 1950s. In the beginning of the1980s, during their lives before marriage women made up an almost free-wheeling (随心所欲) part of Japanese society. A survey of new brides reported that only 12 percent expected their marriage to be happy. At that time, Japanese still regarded marriage not as the peak of a romance but as a duty that was primarily social and practical in significance. As a result, Japanese women took full advantage of their years before marriage. Most women remained at home while working, living with their family in a sort of extended dependency. Japanese women, however, must be careful to maintain themselves within acceptable social standards, one woman being told, "If you act like that, you will not be wanted as a bride."Once married a Japanese women found herself in a role opposite of the perceived sex roles in Japan – the female was dominant in the house. The relationship between the partners of a Japanese marriage clearly showed the evolving role of women. It must be remembered that a short one hundred years ago the attitude toward women was that "In everything she must obey her husband". By the early 1980s the role of women had changed: A Japanese woman had almost unquestioned power within the family system of today's Japan.6.What is the passage mainly about?A. Changes in the role of Japanese women.B. Changes in the styles of Japanese marriages.C. Japanese women's struggle for independence.D. Japanese women's increased power in their families.7.What did the author say about Japanese women before the 1950s?A. Many women continued to work after marriage.B. A majority of women had their marriages arranged.C. Only less than half of women had arranged marriages.D. Many women went to work in order to find a husband.8.What was marriage in many Japanese people's eyes in the early1980s?A. It was the end of their romance.B. It was the beginning of a happy life.C. It was a social responsibility one has to fulfill.D. It was the highest point of their romantic relationship.9.Which of the following was the main cause for most Japanesewomen in the early 1980s to take full advantage of their years before marriage?A. They believed they would no longer have a happy life aftermarriage.B. They knew they could not be as dominant as before after gettingmarried.C. They should not go beyond acceptable social standards aftermarriage.D. They would no longer have time to work after marriage.10."The perceived sex roles" in the last paragraph most probablyrefers to the fact that the wife_________.A. had to obey the husband in the familyB. had to support the husband and his familyC. could make decisions on everything in the familyD. could question some of the husbands' decisionsQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the same passage or dialog. Leadership is the ability of a person to guide people in a group toward achieving a task at hand. I believe that leaders are made; they are not born and a person can always be a good leader if he makes full use of the following list of leadership strengths.Firstly, task execution (实施) is one of the most important leadership strengths. Coming up with a brilliant idea and executing that idea are two completely different things. Bringing an idea to life is a lot easier said than done. An idea really comes to life only when it is executed to perfection. For this, you need to be a team player. There is a fine line between having followers that follow you out of respect and having followers that follow you because they have no choice. Any kind of disagreement in the team will affect the end result and the efficiency of performing the task.Secondly, before you go on to put any kind of strategy into place, you need to understand and envision what you wish to achieve. This is important because the expectations of the entire group will ride on your shoulders. Thus, one of the important leadership strengths is to have a very clear vision about how to go about a task at hand, keeping thelong-term and short-term goals and consequences in mind. You need to be practical yet optimistic about the possibilities involved in any task and must take into consideration all the risks involved.Thirdly, being the leader does not mean that you own the people you work with. Many people tend to get carried away and do not listen to their team members. This can go against them as the team members then tend to lose respect for their leader. You need to genuinely listen to your team members because they are the only ones that will tell you if you go wrong at any point of time. Furthermore, listening will make sure that you connect with your team members on a personal level, which will improve the performance of your team greatly.11.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as one ofthe leadership strengths?A. Lending an ear to team members.B. Performing a task in a perfect way.C. Accepting mistakes with good grace.D. Planning for the future with a clear goal.12.According to Paragraph 2, a good leader should ___________.A. lead his followers with absolute authorityB. make his followers follow him out of respectC. be able to find out who is a true follower in the teamD. focus on creating new ideas instead of executing them13.What does "envision" most probably mean in Paragraph 3?A. To remain optimistic about future results.B. To focus all his attention on long-term goals.C. To meet the expectations of the entire team members.D. To forecast the possible achievements and consequences.14.Which of the following should be avoided as a good leader?A. Holding a realistic attitude.B. Considering short-term goals.C. Thinking about the bad results of a plan.D. Ignoring disagreement from his team members.15.What is the author's attitude about becoming a good leader?A. You can be a good leader if you have talents.B. You can be a good leader if you have a good team.C. You can be a good leader if you acquire the essential skills.D. You can be a good leader as long as you are determined to be one.。

groups,including Generation Citizen,want local governments to permit all16-and 17-year-olds to vote.Generation Citizen argues that lowering the voting age will increase interest in government and politics.“A lower voting age would involve parents,teachers,and community members in the process of learning to vote,and ultimately voting themselves,raising adult voter turnout/9said Oliver York, age16.He is a junior at a San Francisco high school and working with Generation Citizen's"'Vote16USA Campaign".Arguments against lowering the voting age include:16-and17-year-olds are not mature enough and would vote the way their parents do.Here is what one person wrote on the website:"It's simply the fact that people at 16-17-years-old don't have the emotional or mental maturity of

OneW:Good evening,and welcome to tonight's edition of Legendary Lives.Our subject this evening is James Dean一actor and hero for the young people of his time.Edward Nervy is the author of a new biography of Dean.Good evening,Edward!M:Hello,Tina!W:Edward,tell us what you know about Dean's early life.M:He was born in Indiana in1931,but his parents moved to California when he was five.He wasn't there long,though,because his mother passed away just four years later.James'father sent him back to Indiana after that to live with his aunt.W:So how did he get into acting?M:Well,first he acted in plays of high school,then he went to college in California where he got seriously into acting.In1951,he moved to New York to more stage acting.W:Then when did his movie career really start?M:1955.His first starring role was in East of E den.It was fabulous.Dean became a huge success.But the movie that really made him famous was his second one—Rebel without Cause.That was about teenagers who felt like they didn't fit into the society.W:So how many more movies did he make?M:Just one more.Then he died in a car crash in California in1955.W:What a tragedy!He only made three movies.So what made him

UNIT 7在手枪胁迫之下和大多数城里人一样，我非常小心谨慎。
在把车开进车库前，我会扫视街道和周围的小路，看看有没有异常的人或东西。
那天晚上也不例外。
可是当我手里拿着肯德基炸鸡走出车库时，一个肥壮、留着短髭、头戴绒线帽、身穿深色尼龙夹克的年轻人从停车处旁边的灌木丛中钻出来，把手枪顶在我的双眼之间。
“交出来，他妈的--，”他威胁道，”出来。
”“嗨，”我说，”去吧。
”我一边说，一边把肯德基快餐盒放在小路旁边的播种机上，同时设法把我房子的钥匙扔进灌木丛中。
“你的钱呢？你的钱呢？”他吼道。
在我们遭遇的过程中，他会重复自己说的每一句话；出于本能，我也同样重复着自己的话。
“在我钱包里，在我钱包里，”我说。
他走到我的背后，把枪顶在我的脖子上，开始搜我的裤子口袋。
“你的钱包呢？”他问。
“在后面的口袋里。
”“还有呢？”“我就这么多钱了。
”“你的手表呢？”“在这儿，”我边回答边把左臂伸向路旁。
就在这时，他的同伙出现了。
他很瘦小，手持一支加大的蓝色钢制左轮手枪。
他深色的眼睛里闪着光，好似擦亮了的玻璃；他手臂和双腿冷不防地移动着，就好像是连着看不见的电线似的。
他厉声说道，”许朝我们看，不许朝我们看。
”他并不蠢。
我看过许多刑事审判，因而知道在那些武装袭击的受害者中，很少有人能够辨认出袭击他们的人，因为他们的注意力全集中在枪上，而没有放在持枪人上。
我有意识地留意了一下他们面部的细节。
“我没有看你们。
”当那个大个子劫匪把手表从我的手腕上扯下来时，我撒了个谎。
“趴下，趴下，”那小个子命令我，并一把摘下了我的眼镜，把它扔到草坪上。
这时，我已面朝下趴在了地上，地上的尘土紧贴着我的前额。
那个大个子劫匪用枪顶着我的后脑勺，小个子用左轮手枪顶着我左边的太阳穴。
我当时想，”这下完了。
他们就要杀死莱斯利了。
主啊，可怜可怜我这个有罪的人吧。
”“这是什么？”大个子问道。
我把头转向右边。
“是肯德基炸鸡，”我说。
“我们把它带走，”大个子厉声说道。
接着，突然间---劫匪们手里拿着钱包、手表和炸鸡---他们的脚步声消失在了黑暗的街道上。
