Paage 1 Many people who work in London prefer to live outside it, and to go in to their offices or schools every day by train, car or bus, even though this means they have to get up early in the morning and reach home late in the evening. One advantage of living outside London is that houses are cheaper.Even a small flat in London without a garden costs quite a lot to rent.With the same money, one can get a little house in the country with a garden of one’s own. Then, in the country one can really get away from the noise and hurry of busy working lives.Even though one has to get up earlier and spend more time in trains or buses, one can sleep better at night and during weekends and on summer evenings, one can enjoy the fresh, clean air of the country.If one likes gardens, one can spend one’s free time digging, planting, watering and doing the hundred and one other jobs which are needed in a garden.Then, when the flowers and vegetables come up, one has got the reward together with those who have shared the secret of Nature. Some people, however, take no interest in country things: for them, happine lies in the town, with its cinemas and theatres, beautiful shops and busy streets, dance-halls and restaurants.Such people would feel that their life was not worth living if they had to live it outside London.An occasional walk in one of the parks and a fortnight’s (two weeks) visit to the sea every summer is all the country they want: the rest they are quite prepared to leave to those who are glad to get away from London every night.
11.Which of the following statements is NOT true? A.People who love Nature prefer to live outside the city. B.All the people who work in London prefer to live in the country. C.Some people enjoying city life prefer to work and live inside London. D.Many nature lovers, though working in London, prefer to live outside the city. 12.With the same money needed for _______, one can buy a little house with a garden in the country. A.getting a small flat with a garden B.having a small flat with a garden C.renting a small flat without a garden D.buying a small flat without a garden

B.having spent time working in the garden C.having a garden of his own D.having been digging, planting and watering
14.People who think happine lies in the city life would feel that _______ if they had to live outside London. A.their life was meaningle
B.their life was invaluable C.they didn’t deserve a happy life

Paage 2 By definition, heroes and heroines are men and women distinguished by uncommon courage, achievements, and self-sacrifice made most for the benefits of others-they are people against whom we measure others.They are men and women recognized for shaping our nation’s consciousne and development as well as the lives of those who admire them.Yet, some people say that ours is an age where true heroes and heroines are hard to come by, where the very idea of heroism is something beyond us – an artifact of the past.Some maintain, that because the Cold War is over and because America is at peace, our age is eentially an unheroic one.Furthermore, the overall crime rate is down, poverty has been eased by a strong and growing economy, and advances continue to be made in medical science. Cultural icons are hard to define, but we know them when we see them.They are people who manage to go beyond celebrity（明星）, who are legendary, who somehow manage to become mythic.But what makes some figures icons and others mere celebrities? That’s hard to answer.In part, their lives have the quality of a story to tell.For instance, the beautiful young Diana Spencer who at 19 married a prince, renounced marriage and the throne, and died at the moment she found true love.Good looks certainly help.So does a special indefinable charm, with the help of the media.But nothing confirms an icon more than a tragic death – such as Martin Luther King, Jr., John F.Kennedy, and Prince Diana.16.The paage mainly deals with _______. A.life and death
B.heroes and heroines C.heroes and icons
D.icons and celebrities 国睿教育 17.Heroes and heroines are usually _______. A.courageous

Paage 3 Shyne is the cause of much unhappine for a great many people.Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are exceively concerned with their own appearance and actions.Worrisome thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: what kind of impreion am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes? It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must negatively affect people.A person’s conception of himself or herself is reflected in the way he or she behaves, and they way a person behaves affects other people’s reactions.In general, the way people think about themselves has a profound effect on all areas of their lives. Shy people, having low self-esteem, are likely to be paive and easily influenced by others.They need reaurance that they are doing “the right thing.” Shy people are very sensitive to criticism; they feel it confirms their feelings of inferiority.They also find it difficult to be pleased by compliment with a statement like this one, “You’re just saying that to make me feel good.I know it’s not true.” It is clear that while self-awarene is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful. Can shyne be completely eliminated, or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overcome shyne with determined and patient efforts in building self-confidence.Since shyne goes hand in hand with a lack of self-esteems, it is important for people to accept their weakne as well as their strengths. Each one of us is a unique, worthwhile individual, interested in our own personal ways.The better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our full potential.Let’s not allow shyne to block our chances for a rich and fulfilling life.21.What does the author try to prove by citing “what kind of impreion am I making?”
A.Shy people benefit from their caring about their appearance. B.People’s shyne made them care too much about their appearance and actions. C.It’s natural that shy people don’t believe other’s compliments. D.Shy people think they are different from others.
22.According to the writer, self-awarene is _______. A.a good quality

Bad Manners in Public 1．列举人们在公共场所的不良现象。
2．对其中某一种现象陈述你的看法，并简单说明理由。
Although we consider ourselves as highly advanced being living in a civilized society, bad manners can still be found here and there.For example, some cyclists run the red traffic lights, many paengers litter waste papers and plastic bags in public places, and some tourists scrabble in tourists attractions, let alone spit on the street.In the cinema, some audience talk loudly on cell phones in front of others. I’m strongly against talking loudly in the cinema, for this behavior shows no respect at all to others; what’s worse, it upsets the audience who are in the mood of having fun.
