    The department gave a report on the expulsions (开除)as saying handguns accounted for 58 percent of the 6093 expulsions in 2005—2006, against 7 percent for rifles(步枪)or shotguns and 35 percent for other types of firearms.

In October, two were killed and seven wounded in a shooting at a Mississippi school. Two months later, a 14-year-old boy killed three high school students and wounded five in Daducab, Kentucky.

    Many immigrants(移民) to the United States find the decision to seek better lives for their families in America can have an unexpected and tragic consequence(后果). Deep differences with their children develop over language and culture.
    “Many immigrants arrive here without much education. Their kids soon gain language skills and also street marts(耍时髦) on how to live in America, leaving the parents at a disadvantage,” Ileana , Roses, pastor of a Methodist church group operating in Virginia, said.
    “Not only that but they find they cannot relate to children who quickly absorb American culture,” she said.
    According to the US Census Bureau(人口调查局), the number of foreign born or first generation Americans reached 55 million last year, a record one in five of the total population.
    A government survey of 922 immigrants in 2000 found that nearly 40 percent of those who had been in the United States for more than 15 years would still like to take English classes if they had the time.
    Two thirds of low income households depended on their children for translation.
    Psychologists(心理学家) and sociologists say parents can lose their position of authority(权威) in a family as a result and the effects of that can be far-reaching.
    Children exposed to American pop culture that glorifies(颂扬) youth and sexuality(性感) often rebel when their parents try to impose the conservative values they brought with them.
    “Americanization erodes(侵蚀) all important aspects of parenting,” said Richard Weissbourd, who teaches education at Harvard University.
    “I feel a part of me is dying with my children. They don’t listen to my music. I have to play it on Sunday morning when they are not around,” said an immigrant.

    1. 1.

      What troubles the immigrant parents most is ___________.

      1. A.
        that they can’t understand the English language
      2. B.
        that they lose their position of authority in their families
      3. C.
        that their children have lost sense of their own national values
      4. D.
        how they can master the English language as soon as possible
    2. 2.

      From the passage we can infer that the population of the states at present is about____.

      1. A.
        275 million
      2. B.
        220 million
      3. C.
        255 million
      4. D.
        smaller than 250 million
    3. 3.

      Which of the following is true according to the passage?

      1. A.
        All the immigrants had expected the troubles they would meet before they went to the US.
      2. B.
        Two thirds of immigrant families are low income households.
      3. C.
        American culture shows a spirit against conservative social and cultural values.
      4. D.
        American pop culture puts the immigrant families at a disadvantage.
    4. 4.

      Which of the following is probably the title of the report?

      1. A.
        The Result of the US Census
      2. B.
        The Differences Between Parents and Children in the US
      3. C.

    Right is right. Right? Of course. But is left wrong? Well, the Romans used to think so. They thought left-handed people were mistakes of nature. Latin, the language of the Romans, had many words that expressed this view. Some words we use today still have this meaning. The Latin word “dexter” means “right”. The English word “dexterous” comes from this word. It means “handy” (clever with hands). So, right is handy. But the Latin word for left is “sinister”. The English word “sinister” comes from this word. Sinister means “evil” (very bad). Is it fair to call right-handed people handy and left-handed people evil? Well, fair or not, many languages have words that express such beliefs. In old English, the word for left means “weak”. That isn’t much of an improvement over “evil”.
    Not very long ago, children were often forced to write with their right hands. Doctors have since found that this can be very harmful. You should use the hand you were born to use.
    People who use their left hands are just starting to get better treatment. But why they get all these bad names in the first place? One reason may be that there are not as many left-handed people as there are right-handed people. There is one left-handed person for every five right-handed ones. People who are different are often thought to be wrong. But attitudes do seem to be changing. Fair-minded right-handed people are finally starting to give left-handed people a hand.

    1. 1.

      What does the passage lead us to believe when one writes?

      1. A.
        He can only use his right hand.
      2. B.
        He can only use his left hand.
      3. C.
        He can use either his left hand or his right hand.
      4. D.
        He can use both his left hand and his right hand.
    2. 2.

      The last sentence of this article means ________.

      1. A.
        Fair-minded right-handed people want to change the habit of the left-handed people
      2. B.
        Fair-minded right-handed people are starting to help the left-handed people
      3. C.
        Fair-minded right-handed people are starting to use left hand to write and so on
      4. D.
        Fair-minded right-handed people are starting to give up using their left hands
    3. 3.

      After we read the article we can certainly know that _______.

      1. A.
        left-handed people have been treated poorly
      2. B.
        the number of the left-handed people is larger than that of right-handed people
      3. C.
        right-handed people are much cleverer than left-handed people
      4. D.
        left-handed people are less smart but hardworking
    4. 4.

      Which of the following is NOT right, according to the article?

      1. A.
        At one time, left-handed people were forced to use their right hands.
      2. B.
        Left-handed people today are being treated better than those in the past.
      3. C.
        There are not as many left-handed people as there are right-handed people today.
      4. D.
        “Dexterous” comes from Latin, means “evil” and English “sinister” means “handy”.

    Like a growing number of young women in Vietnam’s northern part city of Haiphong, Pham Thi Hue was infected with HIV by her husband, one of the town’s many drug users. But instead of being shamed into silence, as Vietnamese with HIV and AIDS are, the 25-year-old tailor and mother of one went public, appearing on television and at conferences. Her business suffered and her neighbors insulted (辱骂)her, but Hue has now become the public face of Mothers and Wives, an HIV/ AIDS support group established in Haiphong by a Norwegian nongovernmental organization and her neighborhood’s People’s Committee. Last year, she founded a smaller group named after a local flower. People who need advice on treatment or help preparing bodies for burial can dial a hot line and get assistance from able and sympathetic(同情的)HIV victims. “We gather to support each other,” Hue says. “When we are sick, what we need most is encouragement and comfort from people who understand our situation and are willing to share our happiness, as well as our sadness.”
    On a hot and damp night last month, Hue welcomed into her small home a very thin woman, also a tailor, who was HIV positive. The woman tearfully told Hue that she had not told anyone about her condition, fearing that she would lose customers and that her daughter would be insulted at school. Hue became the wise elder, offering medical and personal advice.

    1. 1.

      What did Pham Thi Hue do after she was infected with HIV?

      1. A.

      4. D.
        She went public and gave help to others.
    2. 2.

      It can be inferred from the passage that the group Pham Thi Hue founded is made up of____.

    How many coins have you got in your pocket right now? Three? Two? or One?
    With a phonecard you can make up to 200 calls without any change at all.
    1. What do you do with it?
    Go to a telephone box marked “Phonecard”. Put in your card to start, make your call and when you have finished, a screen tells you how much is left on your card.
    It costs no extra for the cards, and the calls cost 10p per unit, the same as any other pay-phone call.
    You can buy them in units of 10, 20, 40, 100 or 200.
    2. Now appearing in a shop near you
    Near each phonecard place you will find a shop where you can buy one. They’re at bus, train and city tube stations.
    At many universities, hospitals and clubs, restaurants and gas stations on the highway and shopping centers.
    At airports and seaports.
    3. No more broken payphones
    Most broken payphones are like that because they’ve been damaged. There are no coins in a cardphone to excite thieves’ interest in it. So you’re not probably to find a broken one.
    Get a phonecard yourself and try it out. Or get a bigger wallet.

        Using a phonecard will cost you less money than payphone call.
      2. B.
        Phonecards are easier to carry.
      3. C.
        If a thief steals your phonecard, he can’t use it any more.
      4. D.
        When you finish your call, take out your card first and then you will see how many calls you can still make.

Some watch TV or go to the movies; others take part in sports. It depends on individual interest. There are many different ways to spend our spare time.

    I know a man who has a coin collection worth several thousand dollars. A short time ago he bought a rare fifty-cent piece worth $250！He was very happy about his purchase (buying) and thought the price was reasonable. On the other hand, my youngest brother collects matchboxes. He has almost 600 of them but I doubt if they are worth any money. However, to my brother they are extremely valuable. Nothing makes him happier than to find a new matchbox for his collection.
    That’s what a hobby means, I guess. It is something we like to do in our spare time simply for the fun of it. The value in dollars is not important, but the pleasure it gives us is.

    In the US, people prefer waiting for a table to sitting with people they don’t know. This means a hostess may not seat a small group until a small table is available, even if a large one is. If you are sitting at a table with people you don’t know, it is impolite to light up a cigarette without asking if it will disturb them.
    At American restaurants and coffee shops you are usually served tap water before you order. You may find the bread and butter is free, and if you order coffee, you may get a free refill.
    Most cities and towns have no rules about opening and closing time for stores or restaurants, though they usually do make rules for bars. Especially in large cities, stores may be open 24 hours a day.
    Serving in restaurants is often large; too large for many people. If you can’t finish your meal but would like to enjoy the food later, ask your waitress or waiter for a “doggie bag”. It may have a picture of a dog on it, but everybody knows you’re taking the food for yourself.
    Supper and dinner are both words for the evening meal. Some people have “Sunday dinner”. This is an especially big noon meal.
    Tips are not usually added to the check. They are not included in the price of the meal, either. A tip of about 15% is expected and you should leave it on the table when you leave. In some restaurants, a check is brought on a plate and you put your money there. Then the waiter or waitress brings you your change.
