I consider myself something of an expert on apologies. A quick temper(脾气) has   21   me with plenty of opportunities to make them. In one of my earliest   22  , my mother is telling me, “Don’t watch the   23   when you say ‘I’m sorry’. Hold your head up and look the person in the   24  , so he’ll know you   25   it, and he’ll be glad to accept your apology.”

   My mother thus made the key point of a(n)   26   apology: it must be direct. You must never 27   to be doing something else. You do not   28   a pile of letters while apologizing to a person   29   in position after blaming him or her for a mistake that turned out to be your  30  . You do not apologize to a hostess, whose guest of honor you treat   31 _, by sending flowers the next day without mentioning your bad   32  .

   One of the important things you should do for an effective  33   is that we should be ready to   34   the responsibility(责任) for our careless mistakes. We are used to making excuses, which leaves no   35   for the other person to   36   us. Since most people are open-hearted, the no-excuse apology leaves both sides feeling   37   about themselves. After all, that is the   38   of every apology. It   39   little whether the apologizer is wholly or only partly at fault: answering for one’s   40   encourages others to take their share of the blame.

A

As our van(有篷货车)pulled up to the farm to start a three-month program for troubled boys, we passed a cowboy on his horse. Bill was the owner of the farm, and he sat at the gate to wave us in. We made eye contact(接触) through the dusty window and he gave us a warm welcome.

  All summer long Bill and his farm-hands taught us to ride horses, cut grass, cut up wood, and round up cattle. He understood the value of working with your hands, and we respected him for his knowledge and gentle leadership. He knew how important it was for boys like me to know that someone believed in them. He trusted us to do the job and do it right and we didn’t want to let him down. Several times that summer he took me fishing and we not only talked about how to cast a line, but also about my dreams and what I wanted from life. He encouraged me to make goals and shared stories from his own expenses.

  The last day at the farm, Bill pulled me aside and praised me for the work I had done that summer―not only on the farm, but also on myself. He told me if I ever needed anything I could count on him. Four years later, I took him up on that offer. I called him up and asked for a job, I told him how his confidence in me had given me the courage to change my life. I explained that I wanted to help others in the same way. He offered me a job on the spot. I’m proud to say that each summer I’m the one who opens the gate for a van full of young men who need someone to believe in them, so they can learn to believe in themselves.

The girls in this sixth grade class in East Palo Alto, California, all have the same access to computers as boys. But researchers say, by the time they get to high school, they are victims (受害者) of what the researchers call a major new gender (性别) gap in technology. Janice Weinman of the American Association of University Women(AAUW) says, "Girls are less comfortable than boys with the computer. They use it more for word processing rather than for problem solving, rather than to discover new ways in which to understand information.
  After re-examining a thousand studies, the AAUW researchers found that girls make up only a small percentage of students in computer science classes. And they use computers less often than boys outside the classroom.
  An instructor of a computer lab says he's already noticed some difference. Charles Cheadle of Cesar Chavez School says, "Boys are not so afraid they might do something that will harm the computer, while girls are afraid they might break it somehow."
  Six years ago, the software company Purple Moon noticed that girls' computer usage was falling behind boys. Karen Gould with the company says, "The number one reason girls told us they don't like computer games is not that they're too violent, or too competitive. Girls just said they're unbelievably boring." What girls want, Purple Moon found, is characters they can relate to and story lines relative to what's going on in their own lives. "What we found from girls is the reason why they wouldn't want to play on a computer; it was just a content thing," says Karen Gould.
  The sponsor(
主办者) of the study says it all boils down to this: the technology gender gap that separates the girls from the boys must be closed if women are to compete effectively with men in the 21st century.
45. According to the passage, girls are victims of the gender gap in technology because ___,
  A. they can not discover new ways to use computers
  B. they have the same access to computers as boys
  C. they are likely to be less comfortable with computers
  D. they can only use computers for word processing
46. Girls often feel _____.
  A. bored with computer games
  B. confident using computers
  C. it easy to use computers in problem solving
  D. interested in the content of computer games
47. The research on girls and computers is ___.
  A. based on a few recent studies
  B. based on a great number of studies
  C. presented by one person
  D. not considered well grounded
48. The gender gap needs to be closed because ___.
  A. it isn't fair that boys are allowed to use computers all the time
  B. there isn't enough money for updating computer system
  C. most of the causes may result in a question of money
  D. the ability to use computers is important in today's world

A "blogger" is a person who writes on an Internet computer website called a "blog". The word "blog" is a short way of saying Web log, or personal website. Anyone can start a blog, and they can write about anything they like.
   There are millions of blogs on the Internet today. They
offer news, information and ideas to many people who read them. They contain links to other websites. And they provide a place for people to write their ideas and react to the ideas of others.
   A research company called Perseus has studied more than 3,000 Web logs. It says that blogs are most popular with teenage girls. They use them to let their friends know what is happening in their lives. The study also says that more than 100,000 bloggers stopped taking part in the activity after a year.
   However, some people develop serious blogs to present political and other ideas. For example, the Republican and Democratic parties in the southern state of Kentucky, US, recently started their own blogs. And American companies are beginning to use blogs to advertise their products.
   At the same time, some long-standing blogs have ended. Last week, blogging leader Dave Winer closed his free blog service, weblogs.com. He says the site became too costly to continue. He started the blog four years ago, and thousands of people had written on it. They are now upset because they did not know that the site was closing.
   One blog that is still going strong is called Rebecca's Pocket. Rebecca Blood created the website in 1999. She wrote about the history of blogs on the site. That article led to a book called "The Weblog Handbook". It has been translated into four languages so far.
   Ms Blood says Rebecca's Pocket gets about 30,000 visitors a month. She writes about anything and everything
politics, culture and movies. She recently provided medical advice. And she wrote about how to prevent people from stealing money from on-line bank accounts.
49. The text is mainly written to _____.
  A. tell us about blogs
  B. tell us how to write blogs
  C. explain why "blogs" are popular

D. introduce some famous bloggers
50. From the text we can learn that blogs cover almost everything except ______.
  A. different ideas                       B. medical advice
  C. advertisements                      D. live parties
51. Which statement is NOT true according to the text?
 
A. Politicians don't use blogs at all.

B. A lot of bloggers give up writing after a while.

C. Those who like to use blogs are mostly teenage girls.

D. Dave Winer closed his website due to money problems.

52. The best reason why Rebecca's Pocket is still going strong is that ______ .
A. it provides information
B. it is about the history of blogs
C. it is about anything and everything
D. it h as editions in at least four different languages

For years, prices have risen in China for many reasons. However, inflation (通货膨胀) has not badly affected people's lives because living standards have improved. Inflation is not an unbeatable beast. In fact, economists from all over the world have found ways to stop or reduce it. There are now several methods of controlling inflation.
Reduce the amount of money being issued
 
Many experts believe inflation happens because too much money is printed. The more money the central bank issues, the more inflation there is. Therefore, the most important thing to do for any government is to control the amount of money being issued.
Cut down on government spending and increase government income
 
Over
-spending and over-expanding of governments can make inflation worse. Therefore it is helpful to reduce the size of big government bodies, cut down on their spending and pay fewer and smaller subsidies (津贴) to prevent inflation from speeding up.
Slow down the increase of salaries
 
It seems that giving bigger salaries to workers helps them manage when prices of their shopping are going up. In fact, as salaries increase, the central bank will have to issue more money to pay for the increase. Thus, increasing salaries may not be so good as it sounds. It's like cheating. Salaries should only be increased if workers produce more.
Increase bank interests
 
Interest increases can make more people put more money into banks. At the same time, enterprises take out fewer loans. Demand for money on the whole is lower.
Keep prices under strict control
 
Prices can be lowered by setting a ceiling
--the highest prices--for most goods and freezing prices on most goods.
57. The word "issue" in Paragraph 2 means ____.
  A. use            B. print          C. quarrel        D. invent
58. The writer uses "medicine" in title to stand for ____.
  A. ways to reduce inflation            B. reasons for inflation
  C. something to treat patients          D. prices without control
59. What is probably the best way to reduce inflation?
  A. No money will be issued.           B. Salaries will be reduced.
  C. More products will be produced.    D. Prices will be controlled.
60. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a way of reducing inflation?
  A. controlling prices

B. adjusting bank interests
C. improving people's living standards
D. controlling the amount of money being issued
