16、o my grandmother was going to turn 75. My family discussed what the best way to celebrate was. Should we throw her a party? Should we take her on a trip? We remembered that she had touched so many peoples lives, and there were so many people for her to consider. Then someone got the idea that we sho

17、uld include everyone in the celebration by turning it into a tribute(獻禮) to my grandmother. We secretly sent out letters to the people in grandmothers address book and asked them to send a letter with a memory that they had shared with her. People sent us letters with poems, stories and pictures. Th

18、e deep feeling that was shared through the response surprised us. We compiled(編纂)these letters into a memory book and amazed her with it on the morning of her birthday. The unusual thing about my grandmothers friends was not the number that she had, but the connection they shared. In many ways this

19、book of friendship was the greatest achievement of my grandmothers life. I believe that developing true friendships is one of the most important things that anyone can do in ones lifetime. It is not a matter of the number of friends 4 one has, but the quality of the bonds. If one has had at least on

20、e true friendship before dying, then one can say he has lived a successful life. I have made many friends and I believe I have begun to develop the same types of friendships my grandmother kept up over her lifetime. I only hope that I will be as successful as she has been. 41How did the authors fami

21、ly celebrate the grandmothers birthday? A.They took her on a trip across the country. B.They gave her a memory book of friendship. C.They invited all her friends to her birthday party.

25、pon the part known the is well of listening rule includes asracketing.Bracketing 5 temporary giving up or setting aside of your own prejudices and desires,to experience as far as possible someone elses world from the inside, stepping into his or her shoes. Moreover, since listening well involves bra

26、cketing, it also involves a temporary acceptance of the other person.Sensing this acceptance,the speaker will seem quite willing to open up the inner part of his or her mind to the listener.True communication is under way.The energy required for listening well is so great that it can be accomplished

27、 only by the will to extend oneself for mutual growth. Most of the time we lack this energy.Even though we may feel in our business dealings or social relationships that we are listening well, what we are usually doing is listening selectively.Often we have a prepared list in mind and wonder, as we

28、listen,how we can achieve certain desired results to get the conversation over as quickly as possible or redirected in ways more satisfactory to us.Many of us are far more interested in talking than in listening,or we simply refuse to listen to what we dont want to hear. It wasnt until toward the en

29、d of my doctor career that I have found the knowledge that one is being truly listened to is frequently therapeutic(有療效的).In about a quarter of the patients I saw,surprising improvement was shown during the first few months of the psychotherapy(心理療法),before any of the roots of problems had been unco

30、vered or explained.There are several reasons for this phenomenon,but chief among them, I believe,was the patients sense that he or she was being truly listened to,often for the first time in years,and for some,perhaps for the first time ever. 46The phrase stepping into his or her shoes in Paragraph

31、2 probably means . A.preparing a topic list first B.focusing on ones own mind C.directing the talk to the desired results D.experiencing the speakers inside world 47What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 2? A.How to listen well. B.What to listen to. D.Problems in listening. C.Benefits of listening. 4

As “North-South divide”Nowadays, what divides Britons is the so-called change. to accent England, the begins way north from the south coast of make your (how do you ” in parts of the South becomes “AhhduThe posh “How

The rich southern city of London slowly becomes the North where people generally have less money. start

Many stereotypes (成見) have come from the “North-South Divide”, too. Often, southerners are seen

39、as being rude and snobbish (勢利眼的) by northerners. And northerners are often seen as uneducated by southerners. Today, the career you have and the person you marry dont depend on where you were born or what class you are from. But as London is getting richer and people are moving to the South for wor

43、rners and Southerners dislike each other in Britain. D 8 Sometimes having a teenager at home can be a real headache. Many teenagers smoke, drink, wear strange hairdos and even fight. Basically, they are often taking risks. Earlier studies have shown that teenagers are more likely to make irrational

44、decisions than people from any other age group, including children and adults. Is it that teenagers are too young to tell right from wrong? Not really. So what explains their risky behavior? According to Laurence Steinberg, a professor at Temple University, the US, the reason is that teens care a lo

45、t about how their peers (同齡人) view them thatScienceDaily. s the effect of peer influence, reported As children enter their teenage years, they spend more time with their friends and classmates and also become more sensitive to their feedback (反饋的信息). This sensitivity drives teenagers to concentrate

46、on the short-term benefits of making risky choices and overlook the costs. In a test, a group of teenagers were asked to play a video driving game. When they played with their friends watching, they took more chances and drove more carelessly because that would increase their possibility of winning.

47、 But when they played alone, they tended to drive more safely. Why does pressure from peers have such a big influence on teens behavior? As Steinberg sees it, a teenagers brain is like a car with a good accelerator but a weak brake. The accelerator, the brains ability to notice the benefits of thing

48、s, is fully developed by teenage years while the rake, the brain part related to controlling impulses (沖動) and long-term thinking, is still immature (不成熟的). When teens are under the pressure of being judged by their peers, they tend to push hard on the accelerator. Given how weak the brake is, it is

49、 likely that they are going to end up in a crash. But the good news here, according to Steinberg, is that a violent teenager doesnt necessarily become a violent adult. About two-thirds to three-quarters of violent youth grow out of it. They get more self-controlled, Steinberg told LiveScience. 9 Als

50、o, people who havent committed a violent crime by age 19 are less likely to start doing it later, added Steinberg. 55The underlined word irrational in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to . A.crazy B.quick C.careful D.independent 56Why are teenagers likely to take risks according to the tex

51、t? A.They are too young to tell right from wrong. B.They are eager to challenge themselves. C.They care a lot about what their peers think of them. D.Their brains are more sensitive to thrilling events. 57How does Steinberg explain the influence of peer pressure on teens behavior? A.By performing an

52、 in-depth analysis. B.By giving examples. C.By using a metaphor (比喻). D.By presenting research findings. 58According to the text, with peers around them, teenagers tend to . A.use more self-control B.become more careful about what they do C.perform better than when they are alone D.focus more on sho

53、rt-term benefits 59What can we conclude from the text? A.Those who love taking risks are more likely to commit violent crimes. B.The majority of teenagers become less violent when they grow up. C.Violent teenagers often grow to be adults who cannot control themselves well. D.People who are over 19 y

54、ears old are less likely to commit a crime than teenagers. How could we possibly think that keeping animals in cages in unnatural environments mostly for entertainment purposes is fair and respectful? Zoos official say they are concerned about animals. However, most zoos remain collections of intere

55、sting hings rather than protective habitats. Zoos teach people that it is acceptable to keep animals bored, lonely and far from their natural homes. 10 Zoos argue to educate people and save endangered species, but visitors leave zoos without having learned anything meaningful about the animals natural behavior, intelligence, or beauty. Zoos keep animals in small spaces or cages, and most signs only mention the species name, diet, and natural sort. The animals normal behavior is seldom noticed because zoos dont usually take care of the animals natural needs. The a
