    The UP Series is a series of documentary films produced by Granada Television that have followed the lives of fourteen British children since 1964, when they were seven years old. So far the documentary has had eight episodes(连续剧) lasting 49 years (one episode every seven years) and the documentary has been broadcast on both ITV and BBC.

    The children were selected to represent the range of social economic backgrounds in Britain at that time, with the assumption that each child’s social class predetermines their future. Every seven years, the director, Michael Apted, films material from those of the fourteen who choose to participate. The aim of the series is stated at the beginning of 7 Up, as, "Why do we bring these children together? Because we want to get a glimpse of England in the year 2000. The shop assistant and the manager of the year 2000 are now seven years old."

    The subjects are first seen on a group visit to London Zoo, where the narrator announces “We brought these 20 children together for the very first time.” The series, however, only follows fourteen. Because the show was not originally intended to become a repeating series, no long-term contract was signed with the participants. The interviews since 7 Up have been voluntary, although the participants have been paid an unknown sum for their appearance in each film.

    Although the series began as a political documentary, it has become a film of human nature. In the director’s commentary for 42 Up, Apted comments that he did not realize the series had changed tone from political to personal until 21 Up. He also comments that this realization was a relief to him and allowed the films to breathe a little more.

    1.When was the fourth episode of the series made?

    A. 1985. B. 1992. C. 2000. D. 2005.

    2.What was the goal of the Up Series at the beginning?

    A. To research human nature.

    B. To predict the future job changes.

    C. To gather the 20 children together.

    D. To foresee England in the year 2000.

    3.What can we learn about the participants in the documentary?

    A. They joined in it for free.

    B. They were not on good terms.

    C. They did not expect a repeating series.

    D. They were praised for their appearance.

    4.Why did Apted think the realization was a relief?

    A. He could breathe a little more.

    B. He could direct the films more freely.

    C. He had finished the whole series finally.

    D. He changed his idea about human nature.

    Recently I have taken quite a interest in cooking. I suggest that the school organizes a cooking-learning activity to teach students to prepare any delicious food. It can be really fun and I bet there will be a lot communication going on with students. Besides, it’s a good way to build up team spirits. The school can even hold a competition to see whom can cook the most delicious food. Much importantly, I think cooking is a vital skill for the people nowadays. What is known to all, eating-cooked food is a much more healthy and little costly way of life than eating in a restaurant.

    Visitors to the grounds of New College at England’s Oxford University pass under an iron gate with the advice: Manners make the man. Even after an appropriate update to: Manners make the person, it’s thought-provoking(引人深思的)—especially to today’s Americans.

    When we think about what makes the person—it’s more likely the degree, the job, the salary. Since when do we count manners as a measure of success?

    We do know that these would make life nicer, if more tolerable. Nevertheless, we forget or overlook our manners. So it seems, does everyone else—including, unluckily, our children.

    As a university president, one of my great joys is to visit our campuses and see our students though we’re separated by different generations, interests, and, of course dressing, each student tells me something within the first few minutes that we meet: whether he or she has been taught manners. I sense this in different ways: through her words or her gestures, in the way she listens or how he refers to friends and faculty, how she greets and says goodbye, how he responds when an elderly person enters the room.

    In the absence of manners, however, I make some allowances. For instance, the many ethnic(种族的)groups that students represent often have different explanations of what makes up good manners. In other cases, some students may reject what they’ve learned to break from their parents and be accepted by other students. Whether students are being different or openly opposing, a recent experience I had with them tells me that there’s some hope for reviving and good manners.

    Good manners don’t just guarantee acceptance. Good manners open doors to deeper connections and more meaningful roles in our society. Good manners are gentle signals that show we care about one another and allow us to relate to another person in a thoughtful way but at a respectable distance.

    1.Which of the following is seldom a mark of success to people today?

    A. Handsome income. B. Polite behavior.

    C. An academic degree. D. High ranks in the office

    2.The main idea of paragraph 4 is more likely that ________.

    A. manners can be taught in different ways

    B. how the president of New College cares about his students

    C. generation gap does exist between students and faculty members

    D. what students say and do can indicate if they have mannered behavior

    3.From the last paragraph we can learn that the biggest benefit by good manners would be that ________.

    A. good manners guarantee acceptance of others

    B. good manners inspire students to study harder

    C. good manners help deeper connections with others

    D. good manners guarantee students to get whatever they want
