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 quoting a Biblical (圣经的) passage about husbands being thoughtful of their wives. Then he went on to say, "Love is an act of will.A person can choose to love." To myself, I had to admit that I had been 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 new yellow 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. I started to refuse, but then I thought, "Evelyn's been alone here with the kids all the week and now 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 whole vacation 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 still laugh 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 came into my mind．I compared some of the exercises and drills that we put ourselves through in order to learn a language to the various ingredients (原料) that go into baking a loaf of fresh bread．Real language learning takes place in human relationships．No one sits down and eats a cup of flour, even if he is hungry and in a hurry．You don' t become bilingual (双语的) by learning lists of vocabulary．You don' t become a speaker of a language by memorizing grammatical 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, as are yeast (酵母), salt, water and other ingredients．V ocabulary is part of any language and will have to be learned．Grammatical rules exist in every language and cannot be ignored．But merely combining the appropriate ingredients in the recommended proportions does not result in 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, that heat comes from the community．Anyone who has learned a second language has experienced that 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 quite innocent and the whole room bursts into laughter, you are experiencing the heat that turns raw dough into good bread．Remember the old saying, “If you can' t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen"．This is where language learning often breaks down because we find the heat uncomfortable and we stop 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 of bread. He is glad that he did no t "get out of the kitchen” at the important moment when the oven seemed too hot.The dedicated language learner knows that becoming bilingual cannot be achieved without the heat.79.According to the author, you can possibly become a speaker of a language by ________．A．bearing millions of words and expressions in your mindB．using the language to communicate with those around youC．Knowing verb conjugations and grammatical rulesD．saying something innocent to be laughed at by others80.'What’s the purpose of illustration of the example-you ask the babysitter,"Have you already been eaten?"When you meant to say,"Have you already eaten?"?A. To verify that you are sure to make some mistakes when you enter a community.B.To show that you should combine the ingredients in the recommended proportions.C. To prove that you may experience"heat"from the community in language learning.D. To indicate that being bilingual calls for your courage, confidence and perseverance.81.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT the necessity of baking bread and learning language?A．Excellent Skills．B．Various ingredients．C．Appropriate proportions．D．Uncomfortable heat．(C)Like most people, I’ve long understood that I’ll be judged by my occupation, that m y profession is used by people to see how talented I am. Recently, however, I was disappointed to 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 waiting tables. As someone paid to serve food to people, I had customers say and do things to me I suppose they’d never say or do to the people they know. One night a man talking on his cell phone waved me away, then called me back with his finger a minute later, saying angrily that he 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 from professional adults. Besides, people responded to me differently after I told them I was in college. 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 a respectful tone from everyone who called me. I assumed this was the way the professional world 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 for Kristen would be transferred to Christie. The mistake was immediately clear. Perhaps it was because 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, much of it can be easily forgotten when you pocket the tips. The service industry exists to meet others’ needs. Still, it seemed that many of my customers didn’t get the difference between server and servant.I’m now applying to graduate school, which means someday I’ll return to a profession where people need to be nice to me in order to get what they want. I think I’ll take them to dinner 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.84.What does the author imply by saying"... Many of my customers didn’t get the differencebetween server 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. Those serving others have to put up with rough treatment to earn a living.D. The majority of customers tend to look on a servant as 4. server nowadays.85. The author says one day she’ll take her customers to dinner in order to _______.A. see what kind of person they areB. experience the feeling of being servedC. shoe her generosity towards people inferior to herD.arouse their sympathy for people living a humble life(D)In 1784, five years before he became president of the United States, George Washington, 52, was nearly toothless. So he hired a dentist to transplant nine teeth into his jaw—having extracted 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 focus on the roles slavery played in the lives of the founding generation. They have been spurred in part by DNA evidence made available in 1998, which almost certainly proved Thomas Jefferson had fathered at least one child with his slave Sally Hemings. And only over the past 30 years have scholars examined history from the bottom up. Works of several historians reveal the moral compromises 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 of their time. While Washington and Jefferson privately expressed distaste for slavery, they also understood that it was part of the political and economic bedrock of the country they helped to create.For one thing, the South could not afford to part with its slaves. Owning slaves was "like having 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 have signed the Constitution without protections for the "peculiar institution," including a clause that 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 handed Jefferson his narrow victory in the presidential election of 1800 by inflating the votes of the southern states in the Electoral College. Once in office, Jefferson extended slavery with the Louisiana Purchase in 1803; the new land was carved into 13 states, including three slave states.Still, Jefferson freed Hemings' children—though not Hemings herself or his approximately 150 other slaves. Washington, who had begun to believe that all men were created 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 his will. Only a decade earlier, such an act would have required legislative approval in Virginia.86. In Paragraph 1,George Washington's dental surgery is mentioned to__________ A．show the poor medical practice in the past.B．demonstrate the great cruelty of slavery in his days.C．stress the important role of slaves in the entire U.S. history.D．reveal an unknown aspect of his life and introduce the topic87.We may infer from the second paragraph that_____________.A. DNA technology has been widely applied to history research.B. In its early day. s the U. S. was confronted with delicate situations.C. historians deliberately made up some stories of Jefferson's life.D.Political compromises are easily found throughout the U. S. history.88. What do we learn about Thomas Jefferson?A. His political view changed his attitude towards slavery.B. His status as a father made him free the child slaves.C. His attitude towards slavery was complex.D. His affair with a slave ruined his reputation.89.Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?A.
