Have you ever been afraid to talk back when you were treated unfairly? Have you ever bought something just because the salesman talked you into it?
Many people are afraid to assert（维护，坚持） themselves. Dr. Robert Albert, author of STAND UP, SPEAK OUT and TALK BACK, thinks it is because their self-respect is low. “There’s always a superior around------ a parent, a teacher, a boss who knows better.” But Albert and other scientists are doing something to help people assert themselves.
They offer assertiveness training courses, A. T. for short. In the A. T. course people learn that they have a right to be themselves. They learn to speak out and feel good about doing so. They learn to be aggressive without hurting other people.
In one way, learning to speak out is to get rid of fear. A group taking an A. T. course will help the timid person to lose his fear. But A. T. uses an even stronger motive to share the need. The timid person speaks out in the group because he wants to tell how he feels.
Whether or not you speak up for yourself depends on your self-respect. If your face is more important than you, you may feel less of a person. You start to doubt your answers to problems. However, once you get to feel good about yourself, you can learn to speak out.
小题1:The problem the writer talks about is that ________________.| A．some people buy things they don’t want | | B．some people are afraid to speak up for their rights | | C．there are too many superiors | | D．some people don’t think enough of themselves |
小题2:The cause of the problem talked about in the text is that _________. | A．some people have a low self-respect | | B．there is always someone around who knows better | | C．salesmen talk people into buying things they don’t want | | D．people don’t share enough |
小题3:The underlined word “timid” probably means “___________” in Chinese小题4:One thing the A.T. course doesn’t do is to _____________.
A. share the need of people B. show people they have a right to be themselves
C. help people overcome fear D. help people to assert themselves even if others suffer |
Why does night fall but never break and day break but never fall?
Why are people who ride motorcycles called bikers and people who ride bikes called cyclists?
In what other language do people drive in a parkway and park in a driveway?
In what other language do they call the third hand on the clock the second hand?
Let’s face it: English is a crazy language. There is no egg in an eggplant, neither pine nor apple in a pineapple and no ham in a hamburger. Sweet-meats are candy, while sweetbreads, which aren’t sweet, are meat.
We take English for granted. But when we explore its paradoxes (探讨它的矛盾), we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, public bathrooms have no baths in them.
And why is it that a writer writes, but fingers don’t fing, grocers don’t groce, and hammers don’t ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, shouldn’t the plural of booth be beeth? One goose, two geese — so one moose, two meese?
How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few are alike? How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the next?
English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of human beings. That’s why, when stars are out, they are visible; but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it; but when I wind up this essay, I end it.
小题1: According to the passage ______. | A．sweet-meats and sweetbreads are different things | | B．there should be egg in an eggplant | | C．pineapples are the apples on the pine tree | | D．boxing rings should be round |
小题2:Which of the following includes two items which have the similar meaning?| A．A wise man and a wise guy. | | B．Overlook and oversee. | | C．Quite a lot and quite a few. | | D．Hot as hell and cold as hell. |
小题3:The underlined words “wind up” in the last paragraph probably mean “______”.| A．blow | B．roll up | C．get hurt | D．finish |
小题4: Through the many paradoxes in the English language, the writer wants to show that human beings are ______.| A．clever | B．crazy | C．lazy | D．dull |

You never see him, but they"re with you every time you fly. They record where you are going, how fast you"re traveling and whether everything on your airplane is functioning normally. Their ability to withstand almost any disaster makes them seem like something out of a comic book. They"re known as the black box.
When planes fall from the sky, as a Yemeni airliner did on its way to Comoros Islands in the India ocean June 30, 2009, the black box is the best bet for identifying what went wrong. So when a French submarine (潜水艇) detected the device"s homing signal five days later, the discovery marked a huge step toward determining the cause of a tragedy in which 152 passengers were killed.
In 1958, Australian scientist David Warren developed a flight-memory recorder that would track basic information like altitude and direction. That was the first mode for a black box, which became a requirement on all U.S. commercial flights by 1960. Early models often failed to withstand crashes, however, so in 1965 the device was completely redesigned and moved to the back of the plane – the area least subject to impact – from its original position in the landing wel ls (起落架舱). The same year, the Federal Aviation Authority required that the boxes, which were never actually black, be painted orange or yellow to aid visibility.
Modern airplanes have two black boxes: a voice recorder, which tracks pilots" conversations, and a flight-data recorder, which monitors fuel levels, engine noises and other operating functions that help investigators reconstruct the aircraft"s final moments. Placed in an insulated (隔绝的) case and surrounded by a quarter-inch-thick panels of stainle ss steel, the boxes can resist massive force and temperatures up to 2,000℉. When submerged, they"re also able to emit signals from depths of 20,000 ft. Experts believe the boxes from Air France Flight 447, which crashed near Brazil on June 1,2009, are in water nearly that deep, but statistics say they"re still likely to turn up. In the approximately 20 deep-sea crashes over the past 30 years, only one plane"s black boxes were never recovered.
小题1:What does the author say about the black box?| A．It ensures the normal functioning of an airplane. | | B．The idea for its design comes from a comic book. | | C．Its ability to resist disasters is incredible. | | D．It is an indispensable device on an airplane. |
小题2: What information could be found from the black box on the Yemeni airliner?| A．Data for analyzing the cause of the crash. | | B．The total number of passengers on board. | | C．The scene of the crash and extent of the damage. | | D．Homing signals sent by the pilot before the crash. |
小题3:Why was the black box redesigned in 1965?| A．New materials became available by that time. | | B．Too much space was needed for its installation. | | C．The early models often got damaged in the crash. | | D．The early models didn"t provide the needed data. |
小题4: Why did the Federal Aviation Authority require the black boxes be painted orange or yellow?| A．To distinguish them from the colour of the plane. | | B．To caution people to handle them with care. | | C．To make them easily identifiable. | | D．To conform to international standards. |
小题5:What do we know about the black boxes from Air France Flight 447?| A．There is still a good chance of their being recovered. | | B．There is an urgent need for them to be reconstructed. | | C．They have stopped sending homing signals. | | D．They were destroyed somewhere near Brazil. |

A new factory that turns used wine bottles into green sand could revolutionize the recycling industry and help to filter（过滤）the nation"s drinking water.
For the last 100 years special high grade white sand quarried（开采）at Leighton Buzzard in Bedfordshire has been used to filter tap water to remove bacteria and impurities—but this may no longer be necessary.
The green sand has already been successfully tested by water companies and is being used in 50 swimming pools in Scotland to keep the water clean.
Backed by one million pounds from the European Union and the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs(Defar),a company based in Scotland is building a factory to turn beverage bottles back into the sand from which they were made.
The idea is not only to avoid using up increasingly scarce sand in Scotland and avoid any further quarrying but also to solve a crisis in the recycles only 750 000 tones of it.
Howard Dryden, the scientist and managing director of the company has spent six years working on what he calls Active Filtration Meadia, or AFM, the recycled glass. He says he needs bottles that have already contained drinkable liquids to be sure that drinking water would not be polluted.
"The fact is that tests show that AFM does the job better than glass, it is easier to clean and reuse and has all sorts of properties that make it ideal for other applications, "he claimed. He also thinks the market will be able to take 250 000 tones of green sand a year. The plan is to build five or six factories in cites in UK where the bottles come from to cut down on transport.
The factory will be completed this month and is expected to go into full production on January 14 next year. Once it is providing a "regular" product, the government"s drinking water inspectorate will be asked to perform tests and approve it for general use by water companies.
小题1:It may no longer be necessary to use high-grade white sand to keep water clean because_____.| A．there is no need to keep water clean | | B．A new factory has been set up | | C．The green sand has been used to keep the water clean | | D．White sand is being use up |
小题2:According to the passage ,the new idea can do the following except_____.| A．avoiding using up increasingly scarce sand | | B．avoiding further quarrying of white sand | | C．solving the crisis in the recycling industry | | D．cutting down the cost on transport |
小题3:Tests show that ______ in keeping the water clean.| A．AFM is more efficient than white sand | | B．AFM is more efficient than glass | | C．glass is more efficient than AFM | | D．white sand is more efficient than green sand |
小题4:The underlined word "Backed" in the third paragraph can best be replaced by"_____".| A．Allowed | B．Opposed | | C．Supported | D．Forbidden |
小题5:What would be the best title for the passage?| A．Revolution in the Recycling for the Industry. | | B．Modern Technology an New Markets. | | C．Revolution in Environmental Protection. | | D．Unlocking the Benefits of Green Sand. |

There is a small shop about 200 meters from where I live that sells groceries, meat and other basic necessities. About 10 yearsa ago, there was a beggar who would go into the shop every day and ask the owner for a 21 . The owner, 22 he would love to help, simply didn’t have any jobs availabe, so he kept 23 the man’s office.
This situation continued 24 for a few months, until the owner 25 to give the homeless man a job which 26 sweeping outside the shop. Every single day form 5 a.m, the homeless man was there doing the very 27 he could for the 28 , making it the community’s favourite, even though it did earn him pennies. 29 , the owner saw how good a job the man was doing and gave him a job working 30 a cashier(收银员). He was watched closely to make sure that he didn’t 31 any of the money received from the sales. He was still homeless, after all. The homeless man did a/an 32 job as a cashier for over 2 years, and did such a good job that he was promoted to 33 the finances for the whole shop.
To my 34 , this was the arrangements up until 2 years ago, when the owner 35 . In his will, he only had one 36 , to give the whole shop to the now stable, “homeless” man. Now, I could walk into that shop and see him working as hard as 37 , with his own business that is still 38 and active 10 years after getting his job as a sweeper.
From this story, we can probably get the inspiration: work hard and give everything your best effort, even if it isn’t your 39 situation, it very well may turn out to 40 some day in the future.
