Poll (民意测验)-People unhappy with the rich
There is growing dissatisfaction toward rich people, according to a new online poll.
The poll by the China Youth Daily in co-operation with Sina.com has shown the obvious discontent over
the country"s widening income gap.
Nearly 8,000 people filled in online questionnaires last week, and when asked to use three words to describe
society"s rich, the top answers were "extravagant" (奢侈), "greedy" (贪婪) and "corrupt" (堕落).
About 57 percent of those polled said that"extravagant" was the best word to describe the rich, followed
closely by "greedy".
However, despite their dissatisfaction, 93 percent of those polled wished they could be rich too, and that
richer people should be "socially responsible".
Some 33 percent of the people also praised rich people for being "smart".
Nearly 90 percent agreed that most people in society, including themselves, were willing to speak up for the
poor but were reluctant (勉强的) to take action and actually do something for them. The survey comes into a
heated debate over comments made by a famous economist Mao Yushi, who said he was "speaking for the rich
and working for the poor".
A report made by the Asian Development Bank last Wednesday showed that China"s Gini coefficient (基尼系
数)-an indicator of the wealth divide (财富差异)-rose from 0.407 in 2000 to 0.473 in 2010.
An earlier CASS (财务结算系统) report said that the richest 10 percent of Chinese families now own more
than 40 percent of all private wealth, while the poorest 10 percent share less than 2 percent of the total wealth.
The country"s income disparity (悬殊) is close to that of Latin America, the report which came out in January, said. |

F. Kyocera-SE47 slider on venison wireles | | 完形填空。 | The eyes are one of the most expressive instruments of body language. Keith, seventeen, from Montclair
New Jersey, learned the hard way about one 1 the eyes can make. "I had a teacher who graded heavily on
classroom discussion," Keith says. "He seemed to have a strong ability to know just when I didn"t have the 2 .
I couldn"t figure out how he could be so sharp. Then it dawned on (为……所明白) me. 3 I didn"t know the
answer, I would avoid looking at him. When I did know what to say, I always 4 straight back at him. From
that moment on, I taught myself to look him in the eye, 5 I knew the work or not. That trick has saved me a
lot of trouble."
Many people,including some policemen,believe eye contact is a good test of honesty. If someone can"t look
at you directly in the eye,then he or she is not playing 6 , they insist. After many experiments, however, a
number of experts have found out that good liars can make false eye contact.
Eye contact, though not a(n) 7 sign of honesty, is a clear way to show interest in another person. When
a person looks at you and continues to do so,you know his 8 is placed on you. When he turns his head away,
his mind is probably elsewhere. 9 there are exceptions. A shy person may have trouble making and keeping
eye contact, no matter how interested he is in the other person. And certain 10 , such as the British and
Germans, are much less oriented (适应) to eyeball to eyeball contact than, say, the French and Arabs. | ( )1. A. letter

D. languages | | 阅读理解。 | Let children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the
time: if corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the
language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make
his language like other people"s. In the same way, children learning to do all the other things: they learn to do
without being taught to walk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle, compare their own performances with those
of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to
find out his mistakes and correct them for himself. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought that he would
never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to. Let him work out,
with the help of other children if he wants it, what this word says, what the answer is to that problem, whether
this is a good way of saying or doing this or not.
If it is a matter of right answer, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answer book. Let him
correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time on such routine work? Our job should be to help
the child when he tells us that he can"t find the way to get the right answer. Let the children learn what all
educated persons must some day learn, how to measure their own understanding, and how to know what they
know or do not know. | | 1. According to the passage, the best way for children to learn things is by _____. | | [ ] | A. listening to skilled people"s advice
B. asking older people many questions
C. making mistakes and having them corrected

D. Let children mark their own work. | | 3. According to the writer, teachers in school should _____. | | [ ] | A. allow children to learn from each other
B. point out children"s mistakes whenever found
C. give children more book knowledge
D. correct children"s mistakes as soon as possible | | 4. The passage suggests that learning to speak and learning to ride a bicycle are _____. | | [ ] | A. different from learning other skills
B. the same as learning skills
C. more important than other skills
D. not really important skills | 最新试题
