When I come across a good article in reading newspapers, I often want to cut and keep it. But just as I
am about to do so, I find the article on the 1 side is as much interesting. It may be a discussion of the way
to 2 in good health, or advice about how to 3 and conduct yourself in society. If I cut the front articles,
the opposite one is likely to suffer 4 , leaving one half of it or keeping the text 5 the title. Therefore, the
scissors (剪刀) would stay before they start, 6 the cutting would be halfway done when I find out the 7
result.
Sometimes two things are to be done at the same time, both worth your 8 . You can only take up one of
them; the other has to wait or be 9 up. But you know the future is unpredictable-the changed situation may
not 10 you to do what is left behind. Thus you are 11 in a difficult position and feel sad. How come nice 12
and clever ideas should gather around all at once? It may happen that your life 13 greatly on your preference
of your one choice to the other.
In fact that is what 14 is like; we are often 15 with the two opposite sides of a thing which are both
desirable (引人的) 16 a newspaper cutting. It often occurs that our attention is drawn to the thing only 17
we get into another. The 18 may be more important than the latter and give rise to a divided mind. I 19
remember a philosopher"s remarks:"When one door shuts, another opens in life." So a casual (不经意的) 20
may not be a bad one. |

When we speak of a basic human need we mean something necessary to life, something we cannot do
without. Food is a basic human need. Without it we would starve to death. Whether in primitive (原始的)
countries or in more advanced societies, man"s food needs are the same. 2_____
But primitive people eat only the food which can be grown near their homes, whereas people in more
advanced societies eat food which is often grown many thousands of miles away from their homes. Primitive
people are satisfied with less kinds of food, therefore we can say people"s wants are different although their
needs are the same.
3_____ Clothing is necessary to regulate (调节) the heat of our bodies. In different climates and in different
seasons we need more or less clothes. We also dress differently for other reasons. 4_____
Shelter, the third of our needs, depends on climate, the skill of the builders, one"s social position, and the
material which can be used. 5_____ The three-bed-roomed house of the average family would not be grand
enough for a very rich family, but a modern house with many of the material comforts were denied to the
kings and queens in the past. | A. Food, Clothing and Shelter.
B. Human Needs
C. We always change our style of clothing for different occasions, such as work, sports, parties.
D. We all need food to live a healthy life.
E. We want to live comfortably.
F. The simple shelter of the primitive people would not do for us, and yet it satisfied their needs.
G. The same is true of the second of human needs. | | 阅读理解。 | Every kid wishes to be an adult. But now as grown-ups, some adults find they cannot leave childhood
behind. They become "kidults" (kid+adult). Being a kidult has become a lifestyle-choice among young people
across Asia. Some kidults collect toys they once played with. Hello Kitty, Garfield, and Snoopy have many
adult fans around the world. It is not unusual to see a 20-something woman with a big, Garfield-shaped
cushion on her sofa or a Hello Kitty mobile phone accessory.
Other kidults still enjoy children"s stories and fairy tales. For example, Bloomsbury even published the
Harry Potter novels with an adult cover. That way, no one else on the subway will know that an adult is
actually reading a children"s book!
"Kidults can be like vitamins to society. Adults who value their childhood and hold on to pure, child-like
emotion may be needed in such a rough and dry society," said Lee Sojung, professor of Foreign Studies at
Hankuk University (韩国外国语大学). He added that kidult culture may fill the generation gap between adults
and kids. It could give children and their parents books, movies, and cartoon shows to enjoy together. He
may be right.
Tim Greenhalgh, a professor, explained that some kidults just refuse to grow up. They value childhood
because life in a busy and stressful city frightens them. Kidults would like to forget their age and openly
show their fear of society and adulthood. | | 1. We can infer from the article that _____. | A. Kidults like to have vitamins very much
B. Kidults miss their childhood so much that they can"t give up their toys
C. Bloomsbury knows some kidults don"t want people to know that they are kidults
D. Some toys are so interesting that even adults like them very much | | 2. According to the author, being a kidult is good in some way except that _____. | A. it can help kidults feel relaxed
B. it is helpful to solve some social problems
C. it can make people loyal to one"s parents
D it can improve the relationship between parents and their kids | | 3. According to the writer, _____. | A. our society is very dull
B. kidults have mental problems
C. being a kidult is nothing wrong
D. some people can never grow up | | 阅读理解。 | Hi, Antonio,

Hi, Antonio,
I am 19 years old, a college student and I am looking for a summer job. Does anyone know somewhere
that is hiring? I have been looking for two weeks now.
Posted by: Erica Allen
Dear Antonio,
My daughter is working in the file room at the law firm I work for and I am very happy that we were
able to get her on. My concern is that she wouldn"t have got the summer job if I had not "known" people.
What about kids whose parents do not know someone?
Posted by: Tracy
Hi, Antonio,
I found my summer job on my own and my parents are so proud of me because I did it on my own.
