But soon he woke up because a second person was knocking at the window. “Sir, do you have the time?” he asked. The driver looked at his watch again, and told the man it was 8:30 a.m..

（二）Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people. Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are excessively concerned with their own appearance and actions. Worrisome thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: what kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes?
It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must negatively affect people. A person’s conception of himself or herself is reflected in the way he or she behaves, and the way a person behaves affects other people’s reactions. In general, the way people think about themselves has a profound effect on all areas of their lives.
Shy people, having low self-esteem, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need reassurance that they are doing “the right thing.” Shy people are very sensitive to criticism; they feel it confirms their feelings of inferiority. They also find it difficult to be pleased by compliment with a statement like this one, “You’re just saying that to make me feel good. I know it’s not true.” It is clear that while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful.
Can shyness be completely eliminated, or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determined and patient efforts in building self-confidence. Since shyness goes hand in hand with a lack of self-esteem, it is important for people to accept their weaknesses as well as their strengths.
Each one of us is a unique, worthwhile individual, interested in our own personal ways. The better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our full potential. Let’s not allow shyness to block our chances for a rich and fulfilling life.
1、What does the author try to prove by citing “what kind of impression am I making?” (Para. 1)___参考答案:B
A、Shy people benefit from their caring about their appearance. B、People’s shyness make them care too much about their appearance and actions.
C、It’s natural that shy people don’t believe other’s compliments. D、Shy people think they are different from others. 2、According to the writer, self-awareness is 参考答案:A.
A、a good qualityB、the cause of unhappiness C、harmful to peopleD、a weak point of shy people
3、That shy people react to a compliment in such a way is ___________. 参考答案:D
A、goodB、unrealC、very reasonableD、harmful 4、、Which of the following statements is true, according to the passage? _________参考答案:C
A、Shyness helps us to develop our potential
B、Shyness enables us to understand ourselves better C、Shyness can block our chances for a rich life

Once the French officer in Rome was giving a ball to which many important people were invited. The Italian Minister（大臣） came very late. A young lady, who knew him, saw him enter the ball-room and asked why he was so late.

（四）Morgan Rees has always been a good businessman. He used to own three petrol stations and was busy most of the time.

（五）I felt very sad not to be able to get the ticket for the film Titanic last Friday. I learned in the newspaper that tickets could be bought at the cinema box office (售票处) in Richland Hills any day between 10:00 and 4:00. Since I work from 9:00 to 5:30, the only time I could go to the cinema was during my 45-minute lunch time. It is a pity that the cinema is on the other side of the town, and the bus service
between my office and Richland Hills is not very good. But if you are lucky, you can make the round trip in 45 minutes.
Last Monday I stood at the bus stop for fifteen minutes, waiting for a bus. By the time I saw one come around the corner, there was not enough time left to make the trip. So I had to go back to the office. The same thing happened on Tuesday, and again on Wednesday. On Thursday my luck changed. I got on a bus right away and arrived at the cinema in twenty minutes. But when I got there, I found a long line of people at the box office. I heard one man say that he had been
waiting in line for over an hour. I found that I would not have enough time to wait in line, I caught the next bus and went back across the town.
By Friday I understood my only hope was to make the trip by car. It was expensive, but I felt that it would be worth it to see the film. The trip by car only took 10 minutes, but it felt like an hour to me. When I reached the cinema, I was delighted to see that nobody was waiting in line. But I quickly found out that it was because they had already sold all the tickets.

（六）When I was a little girl, my brothers and I collected stamps for many years.

（八）On a practical level, teachers need a wide variety of skills and abilities. They have to be ready to spend many hours at home planning their lessons and preparing homework. They have to be well organized in class, patient with students, able to appear bright and interested even if they are in fact tired or unhappy, and lively enough to control a group of young people for almost 200 days a year. Outside the classroom, they may have to prepare teaching materials, to choose
books to use as texts, to help organize the work of other teachers, or to organize spare time activities for students.
If you think that you have all the necessary qualities, you may feel that you would like to be a teacher. If you live in the United States, one way to decide is by joining a club for future teachers, such as Student Action for Education. Clubs like this give advice about your field, and also allow you to watch teachers at work, attend meetings and
experiment with teaching methods and equipment. You could also talk with the job advisor at your school or university. Finally, you could try teaching a younger student or becoming an advisor at a summer camp for children. Any activity in which you are dealing with, children will help you decide whether you have a calling for teaching.

（十）When John and Victoria Falls arrived in New York City for one-year stay, they did not bring very many things with them. They had planned either to live in a furnished apartment or to buy used furniture. But they soon learned about a new system that more and more people are using. The renting of home furnishings (bed, tables, dishes, and so on) has become one of America’s fastest growing businesses.
What kinds of people rent their home furnishings instead of buying them? People who are international business or government officials, foreign students, airline workers, young married couples - people whose job or business may force them to move frequently from one city to another. They save a lot of trouble and the cost of moving their furniture each time. They simply rent new furniture when they reach their new homes. Young people with little money do not want to buy cheap furniture that they may soon dislike. They prefer to wait until they have enough money to buy furniture they really like. Meanwhile, they find they can rent better quality furniture than they could afford to buy.
One family, who now have a large, beautiful home of their own, liked their rented furniture so much that they decided to keep renting it instead of buying new things. But usually people don’t like to tell others about it. The idea of renting home furnishings is still quite new, and they are not sure what their neighbors might think.

（十四）Nowadays, any Chinese can enjoy the luxury (奢侈) of owning a private car, if he or she has enough money to buy it. Having a car of your own means no more traveling on crowded buses or
subway trains, and you can drop off the children at school on the way. What's more, it also means that you can enjoy the weekends and holidays better, because with a car you can go to places where the regular buses and trains do not go to.
However, besides the advantages of owning a car, there are also disadvantages of owning a car. On one hand, with the increasing number of the private cars, the roads are becoming more and more crowded, and it often makes the journey hard and more and more traffic accidents happen. On the other hand, we know the prices of gasoline and repairs are constantly rising, so it is very expensive to run a car. You have to pay more for a license and insurance.
Comparing the advantages and disadvantages of owning a car, we can make a conclusion that the advantages of owning a car outweigh (超过) the disadvantages. Therefore, it seems that China should increase its output of cars and make the private car market larger. The result would be that cars would become cheaper and cheaper.
1、Private cars can take you to places where the regular buses do not go.
A、T B、F 参考答案:A 2、The roads are crowded because of the rising number of private cars. A、T B、F 参考答案:A
3、If the private car market becomes larger, cars will become cheaper and cheaper.
A、T B、F 参考答案:A
4、According to the writer, to take a bus is better than to drive a car. A、T B、F 参考答案:B
5、The best title for the passage is “The Market of the Private Cars”. A、T B、F 参考答案:B
（十五）What makes a person a scientist? Does he have ways or tools of learning that are different from those of others? The answer is “no”. It is not the tools a scientist uses but how he uses these tools that makes him a scientist. You will probably agree that knowing how to use a power is important to a carpenter. You will probably agree, too, that knowing how to investigate, how to discover information, is important to everyone. The scientist, however, goes one step further,
he must be sure that he has a reasonable answer to his questions and that his answer can be confirmed by other persons. He also works to fit the answers he gets to many questions into a large set of ideas about how the world works.
The scientist’s knowledge must be exact. There is no room for half right or right just half the time. He must be as nearly right as the
conditions permit. What works under one set of conditions at one time must work under the same conditions at other times. If the conditions are different, any changes the scientist observes in a demonstration must be explained by the changes in the conditions. This is one reason that investigations are important in science. Albert Einstein, who developed the Theory of Relativity, arrived at this theory through mathematics. The accuracy of his mathematics was later tested
through investigations, and Einstein’s ideas were shown to be correct. A scientist uses many tools for measurements. Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations that may test his investigations.
1、What makes a scientist according to the passage? A、The tools he uses. B、The way he uses his tools. C、His ways of learning. D、The various tools he uses. 参考答案:B
2、The underlined part in the passage shows_______. A、the importance of information B、the importance of thinking

3、A sound scientific theory should be one that ___.
A、works not only under one set of conditions at one time, but also under the same conditions at other times
B、does not allow any changes even under different conditions C、can be used for many purposes D、leaves no room for improvement 参考答案:A
4、、The author quotes the case of Albert Einstein to illustrate __________.
A、that measurements are keys to success in science B、that accuracy of mathematics
C、that investigations are important in science
D、that the mathematical calculations may test his investigations 参考答案:C
5、What is the main idea of the passage? ________ A、The theory of relativity.
B、Exactness is the core of science.
C、Scientists are different from ordinary people.
D、Exactness and ways of using tools are the keys to the making of a scientist.
Great changes have been made in family life because of science and industry. 参考答案:D
（十六）In the past, when more Americans lived on farms, the typical family had many children. In a farm family, parents and their children often lived with grandparents. Often, too, uncles and aunts lived
nearby. But when industry became more important than agriculture in American life, families became smaller because industry requires workers who are ready and able to move off the land and to move again whenever necessary. And large families can not be moved from place to place as smaller families can. So, at present people tend to have smaller families.
In the future, because of industrialization, a typical family will be required to move even more often than now, so families will be even smaller. The typical family may remain childless and consists only of a man and a woman. A small number of families may take child
raising as their chief work. At the same time they may also raise other people's children, leaving those families free to move from job to job. 1、The passage discusses influence of science and industry on American families.
A、T B、F 参考答案:A
2、Families of the past, the present and the future are described in the passage.

（十七）Bill and Fred are students, and they're good friends. They don't have much money, so when it is time for their holidays, Bill says, \"Let's take our holidays in a trailer, Fred. It's cheaper than a hotel. I can borrow my father's trailer.\" Fred is very happy, and they begin their holidays.
They want to get up early the next morning to go fishing, but they don't have a clock.
\"That's all right, Bill.\" Fred says, \"I put these small pieces of bread on the roof(房顶) of the trailer at night and they will wake us up in the morning.\"

（十八）Americans, like many people elsewhere in the world, like to invite friends to their homes for an evening of food, drink and
conversation. Formal dinners in fine homes and hotels in the United States are much the same as formal dinners anywhere in the world. But as most people in the United States have no servants, their dinner parties at home are decidedly informal. As many new small homes have no separate dining room or just have very small dining space, guests can also serve themselves and eat in the living room, holding their plates or trays on their knees.
A more enjoyable form of entertainment is the picnic. Americans are great picnickers, and almost every family has a picnic basket. Summer invitations are often for a picnic at a park or in the open countryside. Unless hamburgers or hot dogs are cooked over a fire, picnic food is usually cold － sandwiches, salads, potato chips, pickles.
Watermelon is a favorite dessert, followed very often by baseball for the young and active, and naps for the old and weary.

（十九）Oil is so important that it is sometimes called “black gold”. Almost half of our energy comes from oil. We use it to run our cars and factories and to heat our homes, offices and schools. Many everyday things are made from oil. Your shirt may have oil in the
material. The soap you wash your hands with might also be made from oil. Your favorite plastic toy is made from oil.
Oil is hard to find, because it is trapped deep under the earth. Once the only way people knew there was oil someplace if it leaked out of the ground. Today, however, we have many ways of finding oil. One tool measures the pull of gravity. Places where gravity is weaker are more likely to have oil. Another tool is sound waves. Sound waves travel through different kinds of rocks at different speeds. We can use them to find the rocks that have oil in them.
We need a lot of oil, and we are using up the oil wells we know about. Soon we must find new ways of looking for this “black gold”. 1、From this passage, we can know oil is a source of energy. A、T B、F 参考答案:A
2、According to the passage, we can tell that oil is found only under water.
A、T B、F 参考答案:B
3、Sound waves travel through different kinds of rocks at different speeds.
A、T B、F 参考答案:A
4、Many things are made from oil. A、T B、F 参考答案:A
5、The main idea of the whole story is that oil is important for us but hard to find.
A、T B、F参考答案:A
（二十）Modern life is impossible without traveling. The fastest way of traveling is by plane. With a modern airliner you can travel in one day to places which it takes a month or more to get to a hundred years ago.
Traveling by train is slower than by plane, but it has its advantages. You can see the country when you are traveling through. Modern trains have comfortable seats and dining-cars. They make even the longest journey enjoyable.
Some people prefer to travel by sea when possible. There are large liners and river boats. You can visit many other countries and different parts of your country on them. Ships are not so fast as trains or planes, but traveling by sea is a very pleasant way to spend a holiday.
Many people like to travel by car. You can make your own timetable. You can travel three or four hundred miles or only fifty or one
hundred miles a day, just as you like. You can stop wherever you wish - where there is something interesting to see, at a good restaurant
where you can enjoy a good meat, or at a hotel to spend the night. That is why traveling by car is popular for pleasure trips, while people usually take a train or plane when they are traveling on business.
1、From the passage, we know the fastest way of traveling is by plane. A、T B、F 参考答案:A
2、The underlined word “They” in the passage refers to comfortable seats and dining-cars.

（二十一）A film crew was at the Circle Five Ranch to film a Marlboro commercial. This was in 1868, before they prohibited
cigarette ads from American television. Darrell Winfield was watching the crew set up the equipment. The scene included an actor crossing a river on horseback, but when the time came to shoot, the man was too drunk to ride. Someone from the crew saw Winfield and asked him if he would ride the horse for 50 dollars. “Hell,” said Winfield, “for 50 bucks, I'll jump that damn horse over the moon!”
To people in many countries, Winfield is just a familiar but nameless face, a simple cowboy with an advertising message about a connection between the West and a brand of cigarettes. Few people know that he is 55, a family man who's been married to the same woman for 37 years and has 5 children and 7 grandchildren. Most surprisingly, he's a real, working cowboy who raises horses in his ranch in Wyoming. One of the most striking things about the Marlboro Man is that success hasn't changed him much. He says that complete strangers sometimes come up to him and say, “I've met you,know you from
somewhere. ”Whenever it happens, he says that he gets embarrassed. 1、Marlboro commercials were allowed on television in America before 1868.

（二十二）A young man who refused to give his name dived into the river yesterday morning to save a twelve-year-old boy. The boy was in danger in the river. He had been swimming in the river and caught his foot between two concrete posts under the bridge. He shouted out for help. At the time a young man was riding across the bridge on his bicycle. He quickly got down and dived into the river. He then freed the boy's foot and helped him to the river bank where a small crowd had collected. The boy thanked his rescuer sincerely, then ran off down the road. He was last seen climbing over a gate before
disappearing over the top of the hill. The young man who was about 20 years of age said, \"I don't blame the boy for not giving his name. Why should he? If he wants to swim in the river, that's his business. And if I want to help him, that's mine. You can not have my name either.\" He then ran back to the bridge, got his bicycle and rode away. 1、The young man jumped into the river immediately when he saw the boy in danger.
