Reading at Risk: A Survey of Literary Reading in American presents a detailed review of the decline of reading’s role in the nation’s culture.Reading at Risk is a survey of national fashion in adult literary leading. The data source for Reading at Risk is as reliable and objective （客观的）as any such survey can be. The key results of the survey are presented in the “Summary” ,but the report can be further explained as:literary reading in America is not only declining rapidly among all groups, but the rate of decline has been speeded up, especially among the young. Reading at Risk merely shows a great cultural change that most Americans have already noted—our society’s great turn to electronic media for entertainment and information.Reading a book requires a degree of active attention and devotion. Indeed, reading itself is a progressive skill that depends on years of education and practice: On the contrary, most electronicmedia such as television, recordings, and radio make fewer demands on their audiences, and indeed often require no more than passive participation. While oral culture has a rich reality and electronic media offer the considerable advantages of variety, print culture affords irreplaceable forms of focusedattention and thought that make various communications Indeed, and views possible. The dechne in reading, therefore, equals a larger retreat（减少）from participation in public and cultural life.What is to be done? There is surely no single solution to the present problem, just as there is no single cause. The important thing now is to understand that America can no longer take active and devoted reading for granted.Reading is not a timeless, common ability. As more Americans lose this ability, our nation becomes less informed, active, and independent minded. These are not qualities that a free, inventive, or productive society can afford to lose.1. The main purpose of the survey is to _____.A. focus on the role of electronic media and readingB. show that American young people read less and lessC. give a report of the national fashion of literary readingD. review that less than half of the population now reads literature2. According to the passage, reading _____.A. requires less attention and devotionB. demands no more than passive participationC. limits various communications and viewsD. means active participation in public and cultural life3. The underlined phrase “cultural change” in Paragraph 2 refers to the change _____.A. from oral culture to electronic mediaB. from print culture to electronic mediaC. from electronic media to oral cultureD. from electronic media to print culture4. The author of the passage ______.A. misunderstands oral cultureB. doubts the results of the surveyC. encourages the Americans to read moreD. agrees to the solution to the present problem in readingBHow to beat a bad moodHaving one of those days or weeks when everything seems to annoy you? Even if you do nothing about it, your bad mood will probably go away after some time. But with a little effort, you can forget it much faster, often within a day or two.. Walk it offExercise is the most popular bad-mood buster. A person who’s in a bad mood has low energy and high tension. Taking a fast ten-minute walk, or taking some quick exercise can do wonders towards changing that bad mood.. Tune it outListening to your favorite music for a while can also make tensions go away quickly, because music starts associations with past positive experiences we’ve had.. Give yourself a pep talkStop and listen to what’s on your mind. Bad moods are often started by too many negative thoughts. Write them all down on paper; the pessimistic （悲观的）messages you’ve been giving yourself and then give optimistic answers. （“I still don’t have a job.”vs. “I have two interviews next week. ”）. Reduce your stressRelaxation techniques are wonderful mood-lifters. These include deep breathing, stretching and visualizing（想象）, all of which sound complicated but aren’t. One easy way to visualize;close your eyes and picture a favorite place, such as the beach. Another simple way to distress is to make a to-do list. One reason for being in a bad mood is feeling you have no options （选择权）. By taking control over certain areas, you realize you’re not helpless. You can make changes in your mood and life.. Avoid things that won’t improve your moodTV may not help much: you need to increase your energy, level and stimulate your mind something that the TV show “Neighbors”won’t do. And before you reach for that piece of cake and coffee, think about how mood and food are linked. Sugar and caffeine contribute to depressed moods. The better choice? Research shows that carbohydrates, such as potatoes and pasta, produce a calming effect in people who have a desire for them.5. We learn from the text that it might help rid us of a bad mood ________.A. to do nothing about itB. to take a long walk on the beachC. to take some exercise with light musicD. to talk it to neighbors6. Why is it suggested that you close your eyes and picture the beach?A. It is not complicated to do so.B. It is an area to be easily controlled.C. It helps beat a bad mood.D. It brings us a new technique.7. TV may not improve your mood because ______.A. it sometimes shows what happens around youB. it keeps you stay unmovedC. it reminds you of eating and drinkingD. it produces a calming effect8. This text most probably appears in _______A. a book on physical exercisesB. a doctor’s handbookC. a noticeD. a magazineC“In the old days,” as one wife said. “ The husband was the husband and the wife was the wife.” In the past husbands each had their own way of going on. The wives’ jobs were to look after them.“The wives wouldn’t stand for it nowadays. Husband help with the children now. They stay more, as well as have more interest, at home.” We shall give some examples of what husbands do, firstly in sharing work with their wives; and secondly, in their largely independent domain （领域）of house repairs.“Some husbands, as well as doing much of the heavy work in the home, carrying the coals, and emptying the rubbish, act as assistants to their wives for at least part of the day.”Mr. Hammond washes up the dishes every night and lays the breakfast for the morning. Mr. Clark said that on Sunday mornings he usually hovered（吸尘）around and read plays aloud for his wife while she did a bit of washing. Mr. Davis polishes the floors and helps to make the beds at weekend, and during weekdays, takes the dog out for one of his twice-daily walks. So it goes on….9. The repression “act as assistants to their wives” means that ____.A. husband read plays aloud.B. husband are paid by their wives.C. husband help their wives.D. husband look after their sick children.10. the meaning of the wife’s words at the beginning of the passage were that ____.A. in the past men stayed at home all day.B. in the past there was a clear division of role in the family.C. in the past most boys and girls were married at an early age.D. in the past wives and husbands lived separately.11.

He takes the dog out for a walk.12. In the past, the woman’s main job was to ___.A. take the children to school.B. take care of their husband.C. do the washing up.D. dig the garden.13. The passage is mainly about____.A. the division of husbands, wives and children.B. how to get on well between husbands and wives.C. the relationship between husband, wives and children.D. the relationship between husband and wives today.DSeveral years ago, my parents, my wife, my son and I ate at one of thoserestaurants where the menu is written on a blackboard. After a wonderful dinner, the waiter set the check in the middle of the table. That’s when it happened: my father did not reach for the check.Conversation continued. Finally I realized that I should pick up the check! After hundreds of restaurant meals with my parents, after a lifetime of thinking of my father as the one with dollars, it had all changed. I reached for the check, and my view of myself suddenly changed. I was an adult. I was no longer a kid.Some people mark off（区分）their lives in years, I measure mine in small events. I didn’t become a young man at a particular age, like 16, but rather when a kid who wandered in the streets called me “mister.” These events in my life are called “milestones”（里程碑）There have been other milestones. The cops（policemen）of my youth always seemed big, even huge, and of course they were older than I was. Then one day they were suddenly neither. The day came when I suddenly realized that all the football players in the game I was watching were younger than I was. They were just big kids. With that milestone gone was the dream that someday, maybe I, too, could be a football player. Without ever having reached the hill, I was over it.I never thought that I would fall asleep in front of the TV set as my father did. Now it’s what I do best. I never thought that I would go to the beach and not swim, yet I spent all of August at the shore and never once went into the ocean. I never thought that I would appreciate opera, but now the combination of voice and orchestra attract me. I never thought that I would prefer to stay home in the evenings, but now I find myself passing up parties. I used to think that people who watched birds were strange, but this summer I fond myself watching them, and maybe I’ll get a book on the subject.I feel a strong desire for a religious belief that I never thought I’d want, feel close to my ancestors（祖先）long gone, and echo my father in arguments with my son. I still lose…One day I bought a house. One day—what a day!–I became a father, and not too long after that I picked up the check for my own father. I thought then it was a milestone for me. One day, when I was a little older, I realized it was one for him, too, another milestone.14. The author mentions the event in the restaurant because _____.A. that was one of his milestoneB. he paid the bill but he didn’t want toC. he became a father with dollarsD. that was the last restaurant meal with his parents15. “Then they were suddenly neither.” Suggests that ______.A. suddenly they became older than I wasB. suddenly I knew that they was neither bigger nor older than I wasC. suddenly I realized that I made mistakeD. suddenly I found myself no longer a kid16. Which of the following best expresses the author’s thinking ?A. One day is worth two tomorrowB. To save time is to length lifeC. When an opportunity is lost, it never comes back to youD. Time and tide wait for no manEWhat exactly is a lie ? Is it anything we say which we know is untrue ? Or is it something ore than ? for example, suppose a friend wants to borrow some money from you. You say, “I wish I could help you but I’m short ofmoney myself.” In fact, you are not short of money but your friend is in the habit of not paying his debts and you don’t want to hurt his feelings by reminding him of this. Is this really a lie ?Professor Jerald Jellison of the University of Southern California has made a scientific study of lying. According to him, women are better liars than men, particularly when telling a “white lie”, such as when a woman at a party tells another woman that she likes her dress when she really think it looks terrible. However, this is only one side of the story. Other researchers say that men are more likely to tell serious lies, such as making a promise which they have no intention of carrying out. This is the kind of lie politicians and businessmen are supposed to be particularly skilled at: the lie from which the liar hopes to profit（获利）or gain in some day.Research has also been one into the way people’s behavior changes in a number of small, apparently unimportant ways when they lie. It has been found that if they are sitting down at the time, they tend to move about in their chairs more than usual. To the trained observer they are saying “I wish I were somewhere else now.” They also tend to touch certain parts of the fave more often, in particular the nose. One explanation of this may be that lying causes a slight increase in blood pressure. The tip of the nose is very sensitive to such changes and the increased pressure makes it itch （痒）.Another gesture which gives liars away is what the writer Desmond Morris in his book Manwatching calls “the mouth cover”. He says there are several typical forms of his, such as covering part of the mouth with fingers, touching the upper-lip or putting a finger of the hand at one side of the mouth. Such a gesture can be understood as an unconscious（无意识的）attempt on the part of the liar to stop himself or herself from lying. Of course,such gestures as rubbing the nose or covering the mouth, or moving about in a chair cannot be taken as proof that the speaker is lying. They simply tend to occur more frequently in this situation. It is not one gesture alone that gives the liar away but a whole number of things, and in particular the context （情境）in which the lie is told.17. According to Professor Jellison, a “white lie” appears to be a lie ___.A. that are told to mean the opposite.B. that a liar tells unconsciously.C. that the teller tells to profit or gain some advantage from it.D. which is harmless and told so as not to hurt someone else.18. Research on lying suggests that women ___.A. are more skilled at telling less serious lies than men doB. tell more lies than men doC. like to flatter（奉承）people more often than men doD. are better at telling lies at parties than men do19. One reason why people sometimes cover their mouths while lying is that ___.A. they wish those words had not come out of their mouths.B. mouth is very sensitive to physical changes caused by lying.C. they are trying unconsciously to stop themselves from telling lies.D. they regret that their lies might hurt other people’s feelings.20. We can realize from the passage that ____.A. certain gestures can be used as proof to judge whether a speaker is lying or not.B. politicians and businessmen lie more often than ordinary people.C. some gestures are proofs of lying only if they occur too often.D. there is no simple way to judge if people tell lies or not.短文改错：Just a note to say how exciting I am about 1._________ coming to stay with you for 3 weeks .
