    The main reason people come to America is said to be that they can chase the American Dream. Everyone has heard of it, and many have died fighting for it. The only thing is that there is no clear definition of the American Dream. It is not defined by one dream, but by all the opportunities that the United States offers. Since the founding of the United States, people have been striving to define the American Dream.

    In the play Death of a Salesman, every character is trying to realize his own version of the American Dream. Willy feels that he has done so. He has spent his whole life as a not very successful salesman. As he gets older, he starts having conflicts with everyone in his life, and feels that only by killing himself will the people around him be able to finally be happy.

    Bernard, on the other hand, feels that the American Dream can only be achieved through career success. He shows that through hard work and dedication he will be crowned with success.

    The dialogue of the characters reveals the different attitudes they have toward the American Dream, and the reaction of Willy to the fact that Bernard is very successful while he is not.

    Many people try to achieve the American Dream, but few actually do so. As with any goal, it takes hard work and dedication to achieve the American Dream. In Death of a Salesman, all aspects of this goal are examined. For the goal to be achieved, the dream must be an attainable one which is worth working toward. It also must be a dream that the professional world accepts and finds useful.

    1.The underlined word “striving” probably has the same meaning as “_________”.

    A. trying hardB. giving up

    C. bending downD. standing still

    You may know the Eiffel Tower as one of the most famous man-made monuments in the world, and you’d be absolutely right! Read on to learn about the history of the great Eiffel Tower.

    Travelers from around the world flock(蜂拥)to Paris, France, to visit the Eiffel Tower, making it the most visited paid monument in the entire world! In fact, in 2010, the Eiffel Tower welcomed its 250 millionth visitor!

    The history of the Eiffel Tower

    The Eiffel Tower was named after the engineer Gustave Eiffel, whose company designed and built the famous monument. Construction began in January of 1887 and was completed in only two years. Their plan was to finish the tower in time to be the entrance arch for the World’s Fair in 1889. This fair celebrated the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution, which took place from 1789 to 1799.

    The height competition

    Located on the Champs de Mars, the tower is the tallest structure in Paris. It was the tallest man-made structure in the world for 41 years until the Chrysler Building in New York surpassed(超过) it. Then the spire(塔尖) on the top of the tower was added, raising its height to 17 feet taller than the Chrysler Building. It is now 1,063 feet tall! There are two replicas(复制品) of the Eiffel Tower in the world: a half scale model at the Paris Hotel in Las Vegas and a full-sized monument of a similar (but not exact) design in Tokyo, Japan.

    Three shades of wonder

    Some pictures make the Eiffel Tower look like a dark iron color. But it is, in fact, bronze. Not only that, but the tower is actually painted three different shades to make it appear even taller: darkest on the bottom and lightest on the top.

    1.The Eiffel Tower was constructed to ________.

    A. show great respect for Gustave Eiffel

    B. make Paris the most visited city in the world

    C. show the French people’s construction skill

    D. celebrate the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution

    2.Which of the following does the author mention in the passage?

    A. The political meaning of the Eiffel Tower.

    B. The disadvantages of the Eiffel Tower.

    C. The location of the Eiffel Tower.

    D. The cost of the Eiffel Tower.

    3.Where can you find a structure similar to the Eiffel Tower according to the passage?

    A. In New York.

    B. In Las Vegas.

    C. In Los Angeles.

    D. In Florida.

    4.The main purpose of the passage is to ________.

    A. tell visitors where to find the replicas of the Eiffel Tower

    B. raise people’s awareness of protecting the Eiffel Tower

    C. offer people some information about the Eiffel Tower

    Every people uses its own special word to show its ideas and feelings. Some of these expressions（表达，说法） are commonly used for many years. Others are popular for just a short time. One such American expression is “Where’s the beef?” It is used when something is not as good as it is said to be. In the early 1980s “Where’s the beef?” was one of the most popular expressions in the United States. It seemed as if everyone using it at the time.

    Beef, of course, is the meat from a cow, and food is more popular in America than a hamburger made from beef. In the 1960s a businessman named Ray began building small restaurants that sold hamburgers at a low price. Ray called this “McDonald’s”. Ray became one of the richest businessmen at last in America.

    Other business people watched his success. Some of them opened their own hamburger restaurants. One company called “Wendy’s” said its hamburgers were bigger than those sold by McDonald’s or anyone else. The Wendy’s Company began to use the expression “Where’s the beef?” to make people know that Wendy’s hamburgers were the biggest. The Wendy’s television advertisement showed three old women eating hamburgers. The bread that covered the meat was very big, but inside there was only a bit of meat. One of the women said she would not eat a hamburger with such a little piece of beef. “Where’s the beef?” she shouted in a funny way. The advertisement for Wendy’s hamburger restaurants was success. As we said, it seemed everyone began using the expression “Where’s the beef?”.

    1._______ started McDonald’s restaurant.

    A. Ray B. McDonald C. Wendy D. Three old women

    2.Other people wanted to open hamburger restaurants because they thought _______.

    A. they could sell hamburgers at a low price

    A. with many old women eating hamburgers

    B. by a television advertisement

    C. while selling bread with a bit of meat in it

    D. at the McDonald’s restaurant

    “Did you hear what happened to Adam last Friday?” Lindsey whispers to Tori.

    With her eyes shining, Tori brags, “You bet I did. Sean told me two days ago.”

    What are Lindsey and Tori talking about? It just happens to be yours truly, Adam Freedman. I can tell you that what they are saying is (a) not nice and (b) not even true. Still, Lindsey and Tori aren’t very different from most students here at Linton High School, including me. Many of our conversations are gossip（闲话）. I have noticed three effects of gossip: it can hurt people, it can give gossipers a strange kind of satisfaction, and it can cause social pressures in a group.

    An important negative effect of gossip is that it can hurt the person being talked about. Usually, gossip spreads information about a topic—breakups, troubles at home, even dropping out—that a person would rather keep secret. The more embarrassing or shameful the secret is, the juicer the gossip it makes. Probably the worst type of gossip is the absolute lie. People often think of gossipers as harmless, bur cruel lies can cause pain.

    If we know that gossip can be harmful, then why do so many of us do it? The answer lies in another effect of gossip: the satisfaction it gives us. Sharing the latest rumor can make a person feel important because he or she knows something that others don’t. Similarly, hearing the latest rumor can make a person feel like part of the “in group”. In other words, gossip is satisfying because it gives people a sense of belonging or even superiority（优越感）.

    Gossip can also have a third effect: it strengthens unwritten, unspoken rules about how people should act. Professor David Wilson explains that gossip is important in policing behaviors in a group. Translated into high school terms, this means that if everybody you hang around with is laughing at what John wore or what Jane said, then you can bet that wearing or saying something similar will get you the same kind of negative attention. The do’s and don’ts conveyed through gossip will never show up in any student handbook.

    The effects of gossip vary depending on the situation. The next time you feel the urge to spread the latest news, think about why you want to gossip and what effects your “juicy story” might have.

    1.An important negative effect of gossip is that it ________.

    A. breaks up relationships

    B. embarrasses the listener

    C. spreads information around

    D. causes unpleasant experiences

    2.In the author’s opinion, many people like to gossip because it ________.

    A. gives them a feeling of pleasure

    B. helps them to make more friends

    C. makes them better at telling stories

    D. enables them to meet important people

    3.Professor David Wilson thinks that gossip can ________.

    A. provide students with written rules

    B. help people watch their own behaviours

    C. force schools to improve student handbooks

    D. attract the police’s attention to group behaviours

    4.What advice does the author give in the passage?

    A. Never become a gossiper.

    B. Stay away from gossipers.

    C. Don’t let gossip turn into lies.

    D. Think twice before you gossip.
