    One hot night last July, when our new baby wouldn’t or couldn’t sleep, I tried everything I could think of : a warm bottle, songs gentle rocking. Nothing would settle him. Guessing that I had a long night ahead of me, I brought a portable TV into his room, figuring that watching the late movie was as good a way as any to kill of the hours till dawn. To my surprise, as soon as the TV lit up, the baby quieted right down, his little eyes focused brightly on the tube. Not to waste an opportunity for sleep, I then tiptoes out of the room, leaving him to watch the actors celebrate John Bellushi’s forty-fifth birthday.
    My wife and I heard none of the baby that night, and the next morning when I went into his room, I found him still watching TV himself.
    I found in my baby’s behavior a symbol of the new generation. My wife and I had given him some books to examine, but he merely spit upon them. When we read to him, he did not feel comfortable. And so it is in the schools. We find that our students don’t read and they look down upon reading and scold those of us who teach it. All they want to do is watch TV. After this experience with the baby, however, I have reached a conclusion: “Let them watch it!” If television is that much more attractive to children than books, why should we fight about it? Let them watch it all they want!

    Not only did the students ask for changes in the list of required subjects，but they also demanded the right to choose their courses according to their own taste and future needs.No more fixed programs,no guidance from educators and professors.All they wanted was to get their degree as fast as possible and go to work.
    Although the educators didn’t all agree；a majority recognized that time had indeed changed and that education should perhaps adapt itself to the realities of modern society.Colleges and universities revised their programs to include a large number of specialized courses in business，nursing，engineering，and other professional fields.In the 1960s they also added courses requested by the students because they considered them“relevant(相关的)”(Women Studies，Revolution，or Black History)or useful(glass blowing，infant care，slow running，or family life).The students were granted the right to choose their courses as they wished.Many traditional subjects had to be dropped，including history and foreign languages；the liberal education courses that were still useful were often neglected(忽视)by the students，who didn’t feel like working hard to learn something that was not required for graduation.
    Whether the revised programs have helped college graduates to find employment quickly is not clear.But after fifteen or twenty years of experimentation，they have raised a lot of criticism.Some of it comes from the graduates themselves,who discover that their practical knowledge is neither deep nor flexible(灵活的).As soon as they progress to higher positions，they find that they need management training and more study in their own field.Besides，they feel disabled by their lack of general knowledge,for example，by their ignorance of the language and culture of the foreigners with whom they are doing business. Most of all they suffer from their inability to use English，their own language，easily and properly.

    1. 1.

      The students also demanded      ，besides a change of program.

      1. A.
        the right to choose their university
      2. B.

      3. C.
        the right to choose their degree
      4. D.
        the right to choose their courses
    2. 2.

      What was the reaction of the colleges towards the students’demand?

      1. A.
        All the educators agreed with them.
      2. B.
        None of the educators agreed with them.
      3. C.
        A few educators agreed with them.
      4. D.
        A few educators disagreed with them.
    3. 3.

      Who is it that criticized the new system of education?

      1. A.
        Graduates
      2. B.
        Parents
      3. C.
        Employers
      4. D.

        the general knowledge is too much

    The word “sport” first meant something that people did in their free time. Later it often meant hunting wild animals and birds. About a hundred years ago the word was first used for organized games. This is the usual meaning of the word today. People spend a lot of their time playing football, basketball, tennis and many other sports. Such people play because they want to. A few people are paid for the sport they play. These people are called professional sportsmen. They may be sportsmen for only a few years, but during that time the best ones can earn a lot of money. For example, a professional footballer in England earns more than 30,000 dollars a year. The stars earn a lot more. International golf and tennis champions can make more than 500,000 dollars a year. Of course, only a few sportsmen can earn as much money as that.
    Perhaps the most surprising thing about sportsmen and money is that the stars can earn more money from advertising than from sports. An advertisement for sports equipment does not simply say “Buy our things”. It says “Buy the same shirt and shoes as …”. Famous sportsmen can even advertise things like watches and food. They allow the companies to use their names or a photograph of them and they are paid for this. Sport is no longer just something for people’s spare time.

        most people enjoy sport because they can earn money
      4. D.
        nowadays sport is not merely a pastime for people

      Nowadays, the word “sport” means “________” .

    It was graduation day at the university where I work and a beautiful day quite unlike the first graduation I attended as a young professor. On that cold day years ago, as we watched the students walking into the hall, one of my colleagues（同事）turned to me and said, “Graduation will be one of the happiest and one of the saddest time of your life.” At my request, he answered, “Because the students you have got to know have to leave.”
    As years went by, my previous confusion about my colleague’s words no longer existed. When I came across naughty students, I had to rethink why I chose to be a teacher. It obviously isn’t the money. Once a former computer science student of mine called me, asking me if I wanted to have a change. He was working at Nintendo Corporation. His salary was higher than my present one, though I have more education and have worked for over 10 years. With my programming skills, he said he could get me hired, I thanked him, but refused his kind offer.
    A few days before this graduation, while working on final grades, I found a note a student had slipped in with her homework. She thanked me for being her teacher and said the things she had learned in my class – not about math, but about life – would be things she would remember long after the math skills had faded away. As I finished reading, I remembered why I had become a teacher.
    Now, on this sunny graduation day, as I again observed the sea of blue hats and gowns, I did so with a deeper sense of satisfaction – I will always be grateful that I am a teacher.

    1. 1.

      Hearing his colleague’s description of graduation for the first time, the author ______.

      1. A.
        quite agreed with his colleague

        was very puzzled
      3. C.
        thought it very funny
      4. D.
        was very sad
    2. 2.

      The computer science student called the author because he ______.

      1. A.
        wanted to inform the author of his present job
      2. B.
        wanted the author to share his joy and satisfaction
      3. C.
        tried to persuade the author to work with him
      4. D.
        thought the author wasn’t fit to be a teacher
    3. 3.

      The underlined phrase blue hats and gowns refers to ______.

      1. A.
        the new graduates
      2. B.
        the university colleagues
      3. C.
        life memories
      4. D.
        decorations in the hall
    4. 4.

      We can learn from the text that the author ______.

        was only a young professor

        didn’t do well in his work

    The key to a good interpersonal relationship is simple once you understand the role that needs play in making a relationship weak, moderate, average, or strong.
    A person who fails in a relationship is someone who neglects the needs of his or her partner. So the first step to establish a successful relationship is to find out what needs the other person has. It is also very important to understand your own needs so that you can help the other person in the relationship to meet your needs.
    Unfortunately, not only do many people fail to see or to understand their partner’s needs, but they do not understand their own. Children have wonderful relationships with their parents as long as their needs are being satisfied. When the needs are not satisfied, the relationship changes and problems arise. As a child grows, needs change; it is necessary that parents recognize these changes. As it is with the child to the parents, it is also with the parents to the child.
    The way to recognize the needs of other people is by their responses to you. When you do or say something and you get a positive response, you are well on the way to being recognized. The same goes for you. What is it that you respond to in a positive manner? What do you feel good about getting and about doing? What are you totally guiltless about? What can you do with complete confidence and fearlessness? What emotional scene can you control without fear or guilt? Look in these areas for your needs and you will in all probability find your answers.
    As stated, our own needs are often hidden. The techniques covered in the power of self-mind control will allow you to discover your needs and show you who you are in regard to interpersonal relationships. Your effectiveness in influencing and dealing with people will greatly increase the power of self-mind control.

    1. 1.

      From the passage we learn that ________.

      1. A.

      3. C.
        the success of different interpersonal relationships can be measured by needs
      4. D.

    Junk food advertising is “monopolising(垄断)” the Internet as television advertising comes under examination. Among 315 children’s websites, ads for soft drink, ice-cream, fast food and sugar are more than those for healthy foods by two to one.
    Researchers looked at every food reference on 119 websites of companies active in advertising food and drink to children. They found that food references—anything from a picture or an article to an ad or a game—appeared on 44 per cent of popular children’s websites. Two-thirds of these were for unhealthy foods. Unhealthy products were three times more likely to be branded.
    Many of the techniques used on food product websites for companies that included Cadbury, Nestle and Kellogg strengthen the food brand and make children spend more time seeing the product. More children spend more time on the Internet which captures and maintains children’s attention. It makes the Internet a powerful marketing medium.
    Researchers found that 29 per cent of sites used advergames—in which the branded product is integrated (融入)into a computer game.The number of games per site varied. The Wrigley’s Candystand website contained 67   games. Those sites aiming at younger children and adults had a higher rate of advergames than those for preschool-age children, as did those sugary drinks , ice-cream and chocolate.
    Kathy Chapman, the senior nutritionist at the Cancer Council, said, “The marketing is becoming a lot more complex. It used to be a couple of things; now it’s a whole range. The companies use different kinds of ways to promote their products and make them known. There’s a lot more things going on.”

    1. 1.

      According to the passage, television advertising about junk food      .

      1. A.
        is more popular than the Internet advertising
      2. B.
