One day when some government officials were rebuilding a barn,they found a mouse hole in a corner and used smoke to force the mice inside the hole to come out .A while later they indeed saw mice running out,one after another.They everyone thought that all the mice had escaped.But just as they be gan to clean up,they saw two mice squeezing at the mouse of the hole. With some efforts,the mice finally go out. However, it was strange that after they came out of the hole, they did no run away immediately. Instead, one chased after the other near the mouth of the hole. It seemed that was trying to bite the tail of the other.Everyone was puzzled,so they stepped nearer to take a look.They realized that one of the mice was blind and could not see anything, and the other was trying to allow the blind mouse to bite on his tail so that he could pull the blind one with him to escape. After seeing what happened, everyone was speechle ss and lost in thought. During the meal time, the group of people sat down in a circle and started to chat about what happened to the mice. One serious Amer ican official said, "l think the relationship between those two mice was that of king and guard.”The others thought for a while and said, "That was why!”A smart French said, “I think the relationship between those two mice was that husband and wife.” Again the others thought for a while, and all felt it made sense. A Japanese said,"I think the relationship between those two mice was that of mother and son. " Once again the others thought for a while and fe lt it was more reasonable.So they expressed agreement another time. At that moment one Chinese asked, "Why did those two mice have to have a certain rel ationship?”Suddenly the group looked back at the Chinese and remained speechless. The American official, the French and the Japanese who had spoken earlier ai l lowered their heads in shame and did not dare to answer.In fact. the true love is not built on friendship, loyalty or blood relationship.Instead it is located on no relationship?”【小题1】Why did the officials make the mice come out?A．Because the government officials want to build a simple building for storing hay,grain, ect.

The father of the modern cartoon was the English artist William Hogarth(1697-1764）.There were others before him who made drawings that ma de fun of silly customs and behaviour.But Hogarth really started the art of cartooning .He was interested in human nature ,in the character and attitudes of pe ople. His drawings made fun of universal（追的，影响全体的） situations and problems such as drunkenness, spoiled youngsters, crimes of all sorts,and e ven crooked elections. The work of Hogarth was continued by another Englishman. Thomas Rowlandson. His cartoons were printed in large quantities and s ent all over England.He exaggerated human features to make people look ridiculous, which is known as caricature （漫画，讽刺画）. Early in the 19th Ce ntury， European journals, which were similar to many modern magazines, began to print cartoons that expressed opinions on events of the day, and this wa s the beginning of political cartoons which appear in our daily newspapers today. One of the greatest political cartoonists was the Frenchman Honore Daumi er (1808-1879). He made bitter attacks on people in power and corruption in government.

Palmistry(手相术), or the art of reading the lines on a person’s hand, is thousands of years old. It probably began in ancient India.Most people expect a palmist to tell them about their future. They ask questions like: Shall I be rich and successful? Shall I be famous? Shall I have a lo ng and happy life?They do not ask:Am I a nice person? Am I brave or shy? Am I clever? Am I careful and reliable at work?But this is really what palmistry is aboutOf course. there are people who do not believe in palmistry. They call it pseudoscience(迷信). But there are other people who believe that palmistry ca n tell us a lot about a person's talents and personality. Using the lines and other marks on the hand, a palmist is often able to foretell something of a Person's future, but only in general terms.The first thing a professional palmist does is to study the whole hand, its size, shape and texture (Is it smooth or rough?)Next he looks at the fingers, th eir length and shape and their condition of the fingernails. Finally he will study the lines of the hand. It is these lines that most people want to look at and try to “read”.Clear, strong linesHand lines which are clear and strong indicate a person who is calm,good-tempered and generally contented with life. This sort of person will not get a ngry quickly and will be cautious about getting involved in anything out of the ordinary. At work, such a person will be careful and reliable.Small lineA lot of small lines on the hand indicate a person who is sensitive and excitable.These people are nervous, get angry quickly and get excited easily. The y are often very talented, but sometimes find it difficult to settle in one job. They frequently have a number of different hobbies.TheThe heart lineIf your heart line is strong and clear, you are a warm and affectionate person. If it is weak, then you are probably rather cool. If you have a lot of small l ines coming off the heart line, you will have plenty of romance in your lifeThe head lineIf your head line is strong and clear, you are intelligent and imaginative. You will probably get a good job. However, this does not necessarily mean yo u will be rich and successful, as other factors are involve, for example, the number of small lines and the line of fate.The life lineIf you have a long life line, you will live a long time. A shorter life line indicates a shorter life.The line or fateStudy this carefully, If it is strong and reaches as far as the middle finger, you will be successful.【小题1】Palmistry is a kind of ___________.A．Treatment B．fortune-tellingC．medical examination D．high technology【小题2】Those who believe in palmistry think that palmistry can __________.A．make you rickB．tell whether you will have a long or short lifeC．teach you how to get a high postD．tell you how to avoid accidents【小题3】According to the passage,___________.A．hand lines which are clear and strong means you ate a clever person.B．the strong heart line means you are cold-heartedC．a warm person has strong head lineD．a reliable person has clear strong hand lines【小题4】Which of the following statements is NOT true?A．A romantic person may have a lot of small lines coming out of heart line.B．Not everyone believes in palmistry.C．Not everyone has the line of fate.D．A successful person may have a long line of fate.23. I've been writing for most of my life. The book Writing Without Teachers introduced me to one distinction and one practice that has helped my wr iting processes tremendously. The distinction is between the creative mind and the critical mind. While you need to employ both to get to a finished result. T hey cannot work in parallel no matter how much we might like to think so.Trying to criticize writing on the fly is possibly the single greatest barrier to writing that most of us encounter. If you are listening to that 5th grade Engl ish teacher correct sour grammar while you are trying to capture a fleeting（稍纵即逝的)thought, the thought will die.If you capture the fleeting thought an d simply share it with the world in raw form, no one is likely to understand. You must learn to create first and then criticize if you want to make writing the t ool for thinking that It is.The practice that can help you past your learned bad habits of trying to edit as you write is what Elbow calls"free writing". In free writing, the objective is to get words down on paper non-stop, usually for 15-20 minutes. No stopping, no going back, no criticizing. The goal is to get the words flowing. As the words begin to flow, the ideas will come from the shadows and let themselves be captured on your notepad or your screen.Now you have raw materials that you can begin to work with using the critical mind that you’ve persuaded to sit on the side and watch quietly. Most lik ely, you will believe that this will take more time than you actually have and you will end up staring blankly at the pages as the deadline draws near.Instead of staring at a blank start filling it with words no mater how bad.Halfway through your available time, stop and rework your raw writing into so mething closer to finished product.Move back and forth until you run out of time and the final result will most likely be far better than your current practices 【小题1】When the author says the creative mind and the critical mind” cannot work in parallel"(Para.1)in the writing process, he means____________. A．no one can be both creative and criticalB．they cannot be regarded as equally importantC．they are in constant conflict with each otherD．one cannot use them at the same time【小题2】What prevents people from writing on is________.A．putting their ideas in raw formB．attempting to edit as they writeC．ignoring grammatical soundnessD．trying to capture fleeting thoughts【小题3】What is the chief objective of the first stage of writing?A．To organize ones thoughts logicallyB．To choose an appropriate topicC．To get one's ideas downD．To collect raw materials【小题4】One common concern of writers about "free writing" is that________.A．it overstresses the role of the creative mindB．it takes too much time to edit afterwardsC．it may bring about too much criticismD．it does not help them to think clearly六、完型填空24.

About ten men in every hundred suffer from color blindness in some way. Women are l【小题1】, only about one in two hundred is 【小题2】in this way. Perhaps it is safer to let women drive the car. There are different forms of color blindness. Maybe a man is not able to see deep red. He may think t hat red, orange and yellow are all shades of green.
