阅读理解。     Photographs are everywhere. They decorate (装饰) the walls of
homes and are used in stores for sales of different goods. The news
is filled with pictures of fires, floods, and special events. Photos record
the beauties of nature.They can also bring things close that are
far away. Through photos, people can see wild animals, cities in foreign
lands, and even the stars in outer space. Photos also tell stories.
     Reporting the news through photos is called photojournalism.
At times photojournalists tell their stories through a single picture.
At other times, they use a group of pictures to tell a story. Each picture
is like a chapter in a book, which can do more than record the
facts. It can also be a strong force for social change.
     Jacob Riis was among the first photojoumalists. He took pictures
of parts of New York City where the poor lived. Riis believed
that poverty(贫穷 )caused crime, and he used photos to help him
prove his point. A few years later,the photos of small children working
in factories by Lewis Hine shocked the public. Hine"s pictures
helped bring about laws to protect such children.
     Hundreds of pictures may have to be taken in order to get one
or two really good photos. It takes science to have the photo come
out clearly and art to make a photo that has a good design and expresses
feeling. Photojournalists make an actual record of what they
see. A photo, however, can be both a work of art and an actual record.
It can record an important event as a beautiful or exciting picture.
     As historical and artistic documents (文献), photos can become
more important over time. Today photojournalists still have
their pictures appear in newspapers and magazines. They also publish
(发表) them in books and on the Internet.1. The underlined word"They" in the first paragraph refers to __.  A. beauties  
B. photos      
C. goods      
D. events2. The photos of the small children by Hine show us that photos __.   A. are also works of art
B. are popular ways of reporting news
C. often shock the public
D. can serve as a force for social change3. What can we learn from the passage?   A. News with pictures is encouraging.
B. Photos help people improve their life.
C. News photos mean history in a sense.
D. People prefer to read news with pictures. 4 The text is mainly about __. A. telling the story through pictures
B. decorating the walls of homes
C. publishing historical papers
D. expressing feeling through pictures

阅读理解。      Most people say" yes" much more readily than" no".
     A friend is moving house this weekend and would like some
help,and you agree. But, what you really wanted was relaxing at
home for a couple of quiet days,or a roommate spends the whole
weekend playing video games and wants to borrow your homework
for"reference". But,you"ve just finished it after working hard for a
whole day.
     Many people say" yes" to this kind of requests. They tend not
to consider their own interests and feelings,and are often angry with
themselves afterwards. Saying" no" requires courage and considerable
practice. " Everyone wants to be liked. " says Gabriele Steinki,a
German psychologist. "Saying"no"risks losing the affection of the
person asking for the favor. Or even a job. "The result is that many
people say"yes"just for keeping the peace. But experts say this is
regrettable. Anyone should have the right to say" no". In fact, rejecting
a request can even help to stabilize a relationship because it
expresses real affection. But,for peop"le accustomed to agreeing every
request,it"s very distressing to say" no".
     Most people believe that if they say" no" ,they"ll lose the affection
of the person. But the affection is important to them. This way
of thinking can be replaced by this:"If he only likes me because I
always do what suits him,then the price of this affection is too high
in the long term. "
    When people say " no", Steinki advises giving the reasons
calmly until the person gets the message.1. What does the second paragraph tell us?  A. In fact people are usually selfish.
B. Sometimes people say " yes" when they really want to say no .
C. It"s not suitable to ask others to help at weekends.
D. It"s disgusting to borrow homework for reference.2. Many people don"t say" no" though they really want to because    A. they dare not offend the asker
B. they are afraid of breaking the good relationship with the asker
C. they don"t care about their own feeling
D. they are good-tempered3. The underlined word" distressing" can be replaced by "____ ".   A. comfortable                      
B. funny
C. unnecessary                    
D. uncomfortable4. The best title for the passage would be _____.   A. You Need Courage to Say "No"
B. Saying" No"Is More Important Than Saying" Yes"
C. Saying " No" Would Bring Benefits
D. The Art of Saying " No"

阅读理解。     Sitting is an art that isn"t getting passed along. People these
days feel as though they have to be doing something. If they are not
working,they are jogging,or playing tennis or golf,or taking courses
to improve their minds or bodies-or they are parked in front of the
TV. Sitting in front of the TV isn"t sitting-it"s watching.
       People used to sit a whole lot. They would walk down the street
or drive down the road,and there they would be,out on the doorsteps,
sitting. They could go down to the store and sit on the bench
out in the summer or around the fire in the winter. There were sitting
benches out in the town square. At the garage, there were
straight-backed chairs. There among the oilcans and tires and spare
parts,they could kick back and sit.
     Houses used to have sitting rooms,where the grown-ups would
go after Sunday dinner. Mom and Dad, Grandpa and Aunt Ruby
would sit and digest(消化) the fried chicken and talk about Aunt
Ethel"s illness, and how well the minister did today. Outside, the
children would play,and the afternoon could pass by in a comfortable
haze (悠闲的氛围) .
   That sort of thing looks like doing nothing. A recharging
battery (正充电的电池) doesn"t look as if it"s doing anything either.
Sitting restores your soul. If you want to enjoy a truly full life,
don"t just do something-sit there.1. What message does the author try to get through to us?   A. People should make better use of their sitting room.
B. People should spend less time watching TV.
C. People should pass down their good habits.
D. People should take things easy for their own good.2. We can learn from the second paragraph that _____.  A. people lived a more restful life in the past
B. towns were built to make living convenient
C. small town garages had a lot to offer
D. people enjoyed going out for a drive3. The sitting room mentioned in the text used to be a place for _____.A. eating food
B. watching TV 
C. gathering together
D. playing with children4. From the text we know the writer believes _____   . A. sitting has a good spiritual effect
B. sitting helps people remember the past
C. a sitting room may have different purposes
D. a sitting room is important for the old
