Totally loving. No ifs, ands or buts.The idea had come to me as I listened to a talk on my car radio. The speaker was quotinga Biblical (圣经的) passage about husbands being thoughtful of their wives. Then he went onto say, Love is an act of person can choose to love. To myself, I had to admit that I hadbeen a selfish husband. Well, for two weeks that would change.And it did. Right from the moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said, That newyellow sweater looks great on you.Oh, Tom, you noticed, she said, surprised and pleased, maybe a little puzzled.After the long drive, I wanted to sit and read. Evelyn suggested a walk on the beach. Istarted to refuse, but then I thought, Evelyn's been alone here with the kids all the week andnow she wants to stay with me. We walked on the beach while the children flew their kites.So it went. Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street firm where I am a director; a visit tothe shell museum though I usually hate museums. Relaxed and happy, that's how the wholevacation passed. I made a new pledge to keep on remembering to choose love.There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment, however. Evelyn and I stilllaugh about it today.Last night at our cottage, preparing for bed, Evelyn stared at me with the saddest expression.What's the matter? I asked her.Tom, she said in a voice filled with distress, do you know something I don't?What do you mean?Well...that checkup (体检) I had several weeks ago...our doctor...did he tell you something about me?Tom, you've been so good to me...am I dying?It took a moment for it all to sink in. Then I burst out laughing.No, honey, I said, wrapping her in my arms. You're not dying; I'm just starting to live.76. In the first paragraph, No ifs, ands or buts probably means ____.A. UnnecessarilyB. unconditionallyC. impossiblyD. unexpectedly77. During the two weeks on the beach, Tom showed more love to his wife because _____.A. she looked lovely in her new clothesB. she was seriously illC. he was determined to be a good husbandD. he had made a lot of money in Wall Street78.By saying I'm just starting to live, Tom means that _____.A. he is beginning to feel regretful for what he did to his wifeB. he lived an unhappy life before and is now starting to changeC. he is just beginning to understand the real meaning of lifeD. he is just beginning to enjoy his life as a loving husband(B)As I was thinking about language learning the other day, the image of baking bread cameinto my mind．I compared some of the exercises and drills that we put ourselves through inorder to learn a language to the various ingredients (原料) that go into baking a loaf of freshbread．Real language learning takes place in human relationships．No one sits down and eats acup of flour, even if he is hungry and in a hurry．You don' t become bilingual (双语的) byYou don' t become a speaker of a language by memorizing．learning lists of vocabularygrammatical rules．You become bilingual by entering a community that uses that other language as its basic means of communication．I am not suggesting that we can make bread without ingredients．Flour is necessary, asare yeast (酵母), salt, water and other ingredients．V ocabulary is part of any language and willhave to be learned．Grammatical rules exist in every language and cannot be ignored．Butmerely combining the appropriate ingredients in the recommended proportions does not resultin bread．At best, you only end up with a ball of dough (面团)．In order to get bread, you have to apply heat to the dough．And in language learning, thatheat comes from the community．Anyone who has learned a second language has experiencedthat heat．It creeps up your neck when you ask the babysitter “Have you already been eaten?”when you meant to say, ‘‘Have you already eaten?”When you try to say something quiteinnocent and the whole room bursts into laughter, you are experiencing the heat that turns rawdough into good bread．敒敭扭牥琠敨漠摬猠祡湩?┠????潹?慣???瑳湡?桴?敨瑡?敧?畯?景琠敨欠瑩档湥．This iswhere language learning often breaks down because we find the heat uncomfortable and westop the baking process．In other words, we can' t stand the heat, so we get out of the kitchen．However, the language learner who stays in the kitchen－in the heat－until the combined ingredients are thoroughly transformed will enjoy the richness of a quality loaf ofbread.

Recently, however, I was disappointedto see that it also decides how I'm treated as a person.Last year I left a professional position as a small-town reporter and took a job waitingtables. As someone paid to serve food to people, I had customers say and do things to me Isuppose they'd never say or do to the people they know. One night a man talking on his cellphone waved me away, then called me back with his finger a minute later, saying angrily thathe was ready to order and asking where I'd been.I had waited tables during summers in college and was treated like a peon（勤杂工）byplenty of people. But at 19 years old, I believed I deserved inferior（低等的）treatment fromprofessional adults. Besides, people responded to me differently after I told them I was incollege. Customers would joke that one day I'd be sitting at their table, waiting to be served.Once I graduated I took a job at a community newspaper. From my first day, I heard arespectful tone from everyone who called me. I assumed this was the way the professionalworld worked--- politely and formally.I soon found out differently. I sat several feet away from a person in advertising department with a similar name. Our calls would often get mixed up and someone asking forKristen would be transferred to Christie. The mistake was immediately clear. Perhaps it wasbecause of money, but people used a tone with Kristen that they never used with me.My job title made people treat me with courtesy. So it was a shock to return to be the restaurant industry.It's no secret that there's a lot to put up with when waiting tables, and fortunately, muchof it can be easily forgotten when you pocket the tips. The service industry exists to meetothers' needs. Still, it seemed that many of my customers didn't get the difference betweenserver and servant.I'm now applying to graduate school, which means someday I'll return to a professionwhere people need to be nice to me in order to get what they want. I think I'll take them todinner first, and see how they treat someone whose job is to serve them.82.The author was disappointed to find that_____________？A. one's position is used to measure one's intelligence.B. Talented people like her should fail to get a respectable jobC. one's occupation affects the way one is treated as a person.D. professionals tend to look down upon manual workers.83. What does the author intend to say by the example in Paragraph 2？A. Waiting tables is a hard job.B. Some customers are difficult to deal with.C. The man making a phone call is absent-minded.D. Some customers show no respect to those who serve them.does the author imply by saying... Many of my customers didn't get the difference betweenserver and servant (Lines 3-4, Para. 7)?A. Those who cater to others' needs are destined to be looked down upon.B. Those working in the service industry shouldn't be heated as servants.C.

So he hired a dentist to transplant nine teeth into his jaw—havingextracted them from the mouths of his slaves.That's a far different image from the cherry-tree-chopping George most people remember from their history books. But recently, many historians have begun to focusroles slavery played in the lives of the founding generation. They have been spurred in part byDNA evidence made available in 1998, which almost certainly proved Thomas Jefferson hadfathered at least one child with his slave Sally Hemings. And only over the past 30 years havescholars examined history from the bottom up. Works of several historians reveal the moralcompromises made by the nation's early leaders and the fragile nature of the country's infancy.More significantly, they argue that many of the Founding Fathers knew slavery was wrong—and yet most did little to fight it.More than anything, the historians say, the founders were hampered by the culture oftheir time. While Washington and Jefferson privately expressed distaste for slavery, they alsounderstood that it was part of the political and economic bedrock of the country they helped tocreate.For one thing, the South could not afford to part with its slaves. Owning slaves was likehaving a large bank account, says Wiencek, author of An Imperfect God: George Washington, His Slaves, and the Creation of America. 'The southern states would not havesigned the Constitution without protections for the peculiar institution, including a clausethat counted a slave as three fifths of a man for purposes of congressional representation.And the statesmen's political lives depended on slavery. The three-fifths formula handedJefferson his narrow victory in the presidential election of 1800 by inflating the votes of thesouthern states in the Electoral College. Once in office, Jefferson extended slavery with theLouisiana Purchase in 1803; the new land was carved into 13 states, including three slavestates.Still, Jefferson freed Hemings' children—though not Hemings herself or his approximately 150 other slaves. Washington, who had begun to believe that all men werecreated equal after observing the bravery of the black soldiers during the Revolutionary War,overcame the strong opposition of his relatives to grant his slaves their freedom in hisOnly a decade earlier, such an act would have required legislative approval in Virginia.86.
