（八）One of the things I always believe is that no matter how bad something is, you can take something positive out of it.The one time I wasn't sure of that was on September 11.I usually wake up a 6:30 or 7:00 in the morning.That day, I happened to wake up earlier.I turned on the TV and I saw that a plane had crashed(撞擊)into the North Tower of the World Trade Center.My first reaction(反應(yīng))was that it was a terrible accident.Then I saw another plane fly into the South Tower and I realized that I was witnessing(目擊)an act of terrorism.My wife and I spent the day watching the terrible pictures over again.When I watched family members looking for their loved ones, the pain in their eyes was something I would never forget.I couldn't understand how something this terrible could have happened.It wasn't until a few weeks after September 11 that I began to see that perhaps some good did come from this tragedy(悲劇).People seem different now, more understanding, more tolerant(寬容的).Little things that seemed to be such a trouble before are no longer big things.Personally, I am more tolerant than I was.I realize life is too short, and too precious(珍貴的), to let myself get worried over small things.I've learned also that you can't take things for granted.Things change in the blink of an eye.People go to work and don't come back.One moment they're living and the next minute they're not.And, it doesn't matter who you are, there is nothing you can do about it.We never know when our time here

will be over, so we all need to make the most of every minute we have.You try to learn from what happened.You can't be used up by it.You can't live by it.All you can do is just live.1.The word “positive” in the passage probably means ______.A.terrible

B.bad

C.good

D.real

2.What did the writer see after he turned on the TV that morning?

A.A fire starting

B.A plane flying

C.A terrible accident

D.An act of terrorism.3.From September 11, the writer had realized that___________.A.people should make the most of every minute they have

B.he has become less tolerant towards others

C.he should get worried about little things

D.life is too short to care about others.4.What's the best title of this passage?

A.A Report about September 11

B.The Tragedy of September 11

C.September 11 and My Family

D.September 11 and My Turn.參考答案

（九）“Cool” is a word with many meanings.Its old meaning is used to express a temperature that is a little bit cold.As the world has changed, the word has had many different meanings.“Cool” can be used to express feelings of interest in almost anything.When you see a famous car in the street, maybe you will say “It's cool.”You may think, “He's so cool,” when you see your favourite footballer.We all maximize(擴(kuò)大)the meaning of “cool”.You can use it instead of many words such as “new” or “surprising”.Here's an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used.A teacher asked her students to write about the waterfall(瀑布)they had visited.On one student's paper was just the one sentence, “It's so cool”.Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt.But the story also shows a scarcity(缺乏)of words.Without “cool”, some people have no words to show the same meaning.So it is quite important to keep some credibility(可信性).Can you think of many other words that make your life as colourful as the word “cool”? I can.And I think they are also very cool.1.We know that the word “cool” has ________.A.only one meaning

B.no meanings

C.many different meanings

D.the same meaning

閱讀理解。Arthur Miller(1915-2005)is universally recognized as one of the greatest dramatists of the 20th century.Miller's father had moved to the USA from Austria Hungary,drawn like so many others by the“ Great American Dream”.However, he experienced severefinancial hardship when his family business was ruined in the Great Depression of the early l930s.Millers' s most famous play, Death of a Salesman , is a powerful attack on the Americansystem, with its aggressive way of doing business and its insistence on money and social status as indicators of worth.In Willy Loman, the hero of the play, we see a man who has got into trouble with his worth.Willy is “burnt out” and in the cruel world of business thereis no room for sentiment: if he can't do the work, then he is no good to his employer, the Wagner Company, and he must go.Willy is painfully aware of this, and at loss as to whatto do with his lack of success.He refuses to face the fact that he has failed and kills himself in the end.When it was first staged in 1949, the play was greeted with enthusiastic reviews, and it won the Tony Award for Best Play, the New York Drama Critics Circle Award, and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.It was the first play to win all three of these major awards.Miller died of heart failure at his home in Roxbury, Connecticut, on the evening of February10,2005,the 56th anniversary of the first performance of Death of a Salesman on Broadway.阿瑟·米勒（1915-2005）是舉世公認(rèn)的最偉大的劇作家之一20世紀(jì)。米勒的父親已經(jīng)從奧地利匈牙利移居美國(guó)，繪制像許多其他的“偉大的美國(guó)夢(mèng)”。不過(guò)，他經(jīng)歷了嚴(yán)重的當(dāng)他的家族企業(yè)是毀在了大蕭條時(shí)期的經(jīng)濟(jì)困難早l930s。?米勒最著名的發(fā)揮，推銷(xiāo)員之死，是美國(guó)強(qiáng)大的攻擊系統(tǒng)憑借其積極的做生意的方式及其對(duì)金錢(qián)和社會(huì)的堅(jiān)持地位，價(jià)值的指標(biāo)。在威利·洛曼，劇中的主人公，我們看到誰(shuí)擁有一個(gè)男人鉆進(jìn)他的身價(jià)麻煩。威利被“燒毀”，并在企業(yè)的殘酷世界里沒(méi)有空間感悟：如果他不能做的工作，那么他是沒(méi)有好他的雇主，瓦格納公司，他必須去。威利痛苦地意識(shí)到了這一點(diǎn)，并在無(wú)所適從做他的缺乏成功。他不肯面對(duì)事實(shí)，他已經(jīng)失敗，殺死自己到底。?當(dāng)它在1949年首次上演，該劇是迎接熱情的評(píng)論，和它贏得了托尼獎(jiǎng)最佳戲劇，紐約戲劇批評(píng)家獎(jiǎng)，并普利策戲劇獎(jiǎng)。這是第一次發(fā)揮贏得所有這三個(gè)重要獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)。?米勒在他的家在羅克斯伯里，康涅狄格死于心臟衰竭，對(duì)日晚10,2005，在百老匯推銷(xiāo)員之死的首場(chǎng)演出56周年。1.Why did Arthur Miller' s father move to the USA?______ A.He suffered from severe hunger in his home country.B.He was attracted by the “Great American Dream”.C.He hoped to make his son a dramatist.D.His family business failed.2.The play Death of a Salesman _______.A.exposes the cruelty of the American business world B.discusses the ways to get promoted in a company C.talks about the business career of Arthur Miller D.focuses on the skills in doing business 3.What can we learn about Willy Loman?

When I lived in Spain, some Spanish friends of mine decided to visit England by car.Before they left, they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation(住所).I suggested that they should stay at 'bed and breakfast' houses, because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family.My friends listened to my advice, but they came back with some funny stories.“We didn't stay at bed and breakfast houses,” they said, “because we found that mostfamilies were away on holiday.” I thought this was strange.Finally I understood what had happened.My friends spoke little English, and they thought 'VACANCIES' meant 'holidays', because the Spanish word for 'holidays' is 'vacaciones'.So they did not go to house where the sign outside said 'VACANCLES', which in English means there are free rooms.Then my friends went to house where the sign said 'NO VACANCLES', because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday.But they found that these houses were all full.As a result, they stayed at hotels!We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs.In Spanish, the word 'DIVERSION' means fun.In English, it means that workmen are repairing the road, and that you must take a different road.When my friends saw the word 'DIVERSION' on a road sign, they thought they were going to have fun.Instead, the road ended in a large hold.English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages.Once in Paris, when someone offered me some more coffee, I said “Thank you” in French.I meant that I would like some more.However, to my surprise, the coffee pot was taken away!Later I found out that “Thank you” in French means “No, thank you.”當(dāng)我住在西班牙，我的一些西班牙朋友決定去英國(guó)的車(chē)程。在他們離開(kāi)之前，他們問(wèn)我的意見(jiàn)如何找到住宿（住所）。我建議他們應(yīng)該留在“床和早餐”的房子，因?yàn)檫@種住宿給外國(guó)游客的好機(jī)會(huì)講英語(yǔ)的家庭。我的朋友聽(tīng)了我的意見(jiàn)，但他們帶回來(lái)一些有趣的故事?！拔覀儧](méi)有停留在床和早餐的房子，”他們說(shuō)，“因?yàn)槲覀儼l(fā)現(xiàn)，大多數(shù)家庭外出度假?！拔艺J(rèn)為這是奇怪的。我終于明白發(fā)生了什么事。我的朋友說(shuō)話(huà)一點(diǎn)英語(yǔ)，他們認(rèn)為'空缺'的意思'假期'，因?yàn)槲靼嘌勒Z(yǔ)單詞對(duì)于“假期”是“ vacaciones ”。因此，他們沒(méi)有去房子里的符號(hào)表示外“ VACANCLES '，這在英文的意思是有免費(fèi)的客房。然后我的朋友去房子里的牌子上寫(xiě)著“ NO VACANCLES '，因?yàn)樗麄冋J(rèn)為這意味著人們誰(shuí)擁有房子并沒(méi)有外出度假。但他們發(fā)現(xiàn)，這些房子都是全部爆滿(mǎn)。因此，他們住在酒店！我們笑了一下，并約在閱讀其他標(biāo)志犯了錯(cuò)誤我的朋友。在西班牙語(yǔ)，單詞“引水”是指fun.In英語(yǔ)，這意味著工人是修復(fù)道路，你必須采取不同的road.When我的朋友看到這個(gè)詞上一個(gè)路標(biāo)“引水”，他們認(rèn)為他們將不得不fun.Instead，道路在一個(gè)大抱結(jié)束。英國(guó)人也有問(wèn)題，當(dāng)他們學(xué)習(xí)外語(yǔ)。一次在巴黎，當(dāng)有人給我一些更多的咖啡，我說(shuō)法語(yǔ)“謝謝”。我的意思是我想多一些。然而，出乎我的意料，咖啡壺被搶走了！后來(lái)我發(fā)現(xiàn)在法語(yǔ)中的意思是“謝謝你” “不，謝謝你?！?/p>

An increase in students applying to study economics at university is being attributed to（歸因于）the global economic crisis awakening a public thirst for knowledge about how the financial system works.Applications for degree courses beginning this autumn were up by 15% this January, according to UCAS, the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service.A.spokesman for the Royal Economic Society said applications to do economics at A-level were also up.Professor john Beath, the president of the society and a leading lecture at St Andrews University, said his first-year lectures-which are open to students from all departments—were drawing crowds of 400, rather than the usual 250.“There are a large number of students who are not economics majors, who would like to learn something about it.One of the things I have done this year is to relate my teaching to contemporary events in a way that one hasn’t traditionally done.” He added.University applications rose 7% last year.But there were rises above average in several subjects.Nursing saw a 15% jump, with people’s renewed interest in caters in the pubic sector（部門(mén)）, which are seen as more secure in economic crisis.A.recent study showed almost two thirds of parents believed schools should do more to teach pupils about financial matters, and almost half said their children had asked them what was going on, although a minority of parents felt they did not understand it themselves well enough to explain.Zack Hocking, the head of Child Trust Funds, said: “It’s possible that one good thing to arise from the downturn will be a generation that’s financially wiser and better equipped to manage their money through times of economic uncertainty.”

You want to know about my staying inAmerica,right?Well,to tell you the truth,it is

really an eye-opening experience study here.In China,I had English classes five times a week since fifth grade.However,I didn?t

know how different textbook English could be from everyday English until I came to

Hotchkiss School,Conmecticut.When I first studied English,I was told to say, “I am fine.”when people say “How are

you ?”But in the US,I found that people say, “I am good.”or “Ilm tired.”

One day ,someone greeted me with “What?s up ?”It ,made me confused.I thought for

a moment and then smiled because I didn?t know what to say.Sincethen,I have discovered more and more differences between Chinese and US

cultures.China ,girls try every possible way to get their skin paler,or “whiter.”

I alsosurprised by how hard-working.US students are.In China,schoolwork is

almost everything ,so we study hard and that? it.But here,a “good”student gets good

grades,does a lot for the public and plays sports or music.The kids here are so talented ,I am starting to be sorry that I gave up playing the piano

at an early age and that I have never thought about sports.61.According to the writer,textbook English is _________everyday English.A.quite different fromB.the same asC.more difficult than

64.Which of the following is NOT true?

C.My Opinion about the US

People often say that the Englishman?s home is his castle.They mean that the home is very important and personal to him.Most people in Britain live in houses ratherthan flats,and many people own their homes.This means that they can make them individual（個(gè)體的）;they can paint them,and change them in any way they like.Most house have a garden,even if it is a very small one,and the garden is usually loved.The house and the garden are the private（私人的）space of the individual.People usually like to mark their space.Are you sitting now in your home or on a train?have you marked the space around yourself as your?If you are on the train you may put your coat or small bag on the seat beside you.If you share a flat you may have one corner or chair which is your own.Once I was travelling on a train to London.I was in a section for four people and there was a table between us.The man on the space on my side of the table at all.I was angry.Maybe he thought that he owned the whole table.I had read a book about non-verbal communication,so I took various papers out of my bag and put them on his briefcase!When I did this he stiffened and his eyes nearly popped(瞪出)out of his head.I had invaded(侵犯)his space!A few minutes later I took my papers off his case in order to read them.He immediately moved his case to his side ofthe table.Of course,it is possible that he just wanted to be helpful to me!

If you are visiting another country you may feel that you don?t have any private space.Hotel rooms look much the same in every country in the world.All day long ,you share public spaces with o ther pople.You see the local people in their private spaces and.Local people can create their private spaces by talking about things you don?t know about.And you even feel that they like you to be outside one of the difficulties of being a traveler!But if you understand it then it helps you.Haven?t you enjoyed being part of a group and “owning”a bit of space?

41.The writer was angry as he was travelling on a train to London because______.A.he had no place to sitB.someone had invaded his “space”

When I was a foreign teacher in China,every day I taught English to my students and they taught me about China.One day the topic turned to saying “I love you”.I was shocked to learn that not one of my students had saidthis to their mothers,nor had their mothers said it to them.“Does your mom love you?” “Of course ,”they answered.“How do you know ?”was my logical question.They responded that their mons cooked and always toldthem what they were doing wrong to showtheir caring.I was stunned.So mon?s cooking and criticzing read out as “I love you ”.“Then how do you say ?I love you ?to her?”They agreed that getting good gradws,followed by god jobs would be how they showed their love.I come from a culture where most people are expressive enough,so I repeated these queries in classes over time.Gradually,I began to get different response.Some of them had exchanged those sentiments with their moms.One of my favorite stories of change came from a girl.When she came home from university,her mother met her at the door and hugged（擁抱）her.This had never happened before,but her mom said, “Now that you have gone I have more time to myself.I noticed that in some places mothers and children hug each other and I decided it was a good idea and that I would begin hugging you.”

In my family we all say “I love you”a lot.While it is true that we often say the words without having great depth of feelings at that moment,it is almost like a blessing we give each other.Those three little words carry a world of meaning ,even when said as a greeting,but most especially if they are the last words we say to or hear from those we love.52.The foreign teacher_______.A.comes from AmericaB.is a young woman
