A letter to Edward, a columnist(报刊专栏作家) Dear Mr Expert:

I grew up in an unhappy and abusive home. I always promised myself that I’d get out as soon as possible. Now, at age 20, I have a good job and a nice house, and I’m really proud of the independence I’ve achieved.

Here’s the problem: several of my friends who still live with their parents wish they had places like mine-so much so that they make mine theirs.

It started out with a coupe of them spending the weekends with me. But now they seem to take it for granted that they can shout any time they like. They bring boyfriends over, talk on the phone and stay out forever.

I enjoy having my friends here sometimes-it makes the place feel comfortable and warm-but this is my home, not a party house. I was old enough to move out of my own, so why can’t I seem to ask my friends to respect my privacy(隐私)?

Joan

Edward’s reply to Joan Dear Joan:

If your family didn’t pay attention to your needs when you were a child, you probably have trouble letting others know your needs now.

And if you’ve gathered your friends around you to rebuild a happy family atmosphere, you may fear that saying no will bring back the kind of conflict you grew up with-or destroy the nice atmosphere you now enjoy. You need to understand that in true friendship it’s okay to put your own needs first from time to time.

Be clear about the message you want to send. For example, ―I really love you company but I also need some privacy. So please call before you come over.‖

WASHINGTON: Georges de Paris, who once slept homeless on the streets in the US capital, has measured US presidents inside the White House for the past 40 years. Every president since Lyndon Johnson has sought the silver-haired French tailor’s service to be in style.

Of all the presidents he has spent hours measuring and fitting under the watchful eyes of Secret Service agents, Georges de Paris prefers Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush as the ―most sympathetic and also the most elegant‖.

The least pleasant of all was Bill Clinton, who was ―very demanding, cold and always occupied.‖

The current President Bush displayed one of Georges de Paris’ blue suits when he gave his nationally televised State of the Union address before the US Congress in January.

The suit, made by hand by Georges and three skilled helpers, cost about US $3,000 in a shop near the White House.

Becoming the unofficial White House tailor was a far climb for Georges, who arrived in the US in 1960 when he was 27, carrying his life savings of US $4,000 in his pocket.

Within six months he found himself penniless, living on the streets, speaking little English after his American girlfriend threw him out because he refused to marry her. The seeds of Georges’ tailoring business were planted when he was hired as a cutter by a French-Canadian tailor for US$70 a week. He rented a small room and

10

saved his money until he could buy a sewing machine and set on his own. He still uses that machine.

A decisive meeting in a restaurant brought Georges, who became a US citizen in 1969, closer to the White House. A conversation with the representative Otto Passman of Louisiana, led the lawmaker to buy suits from Georges.

The satisfied lawmaker introduced him to Johnson, then the vice-president, who continued to enlist the tailor’s services when he became president.

61. Suppose Bill Clinton took office in the year 1992, Georges de Pairs . A. was in his early sixties

B. found it was the hardest time in his life C. was more careful than ever before

D. thought Clinton was easy to get along with

62.The writer wrote the passage to tell us . A. a story about a tailor in Washington

B. the way how Georges de Paris became successful in official duties C. that it is uneasy to work for American presidents D. the poor might be very rich unexpectedly

63.Georges de Paris once slept on the streets of the US capital, probably because . A. he and his wife separated

B. he had no money to afford a room

C. he wanted to learn the truth of the poor in the USA D. he was a stranger who couldn’t find where hotels lay

64.The underlined word ―displayed‖ in the passage means ― ‖. A. showed B. placed C. spread D. preferred 65The main idea of the last five paragraphs is that .

A. Georges de Paris was very lucky to be chosen as a White House tailor B. the way to success for Georges de Paris was very hard C. rich knowledge is very useful for one’s success D. a decisive meeting has brought George a new life

Before Felix arrived in Baghdad, Miss Bohun had arranged for him to have lessons with Mr. Posthon of the Education Office. Mr. Posthon was a busy man; he not only had his government job but also taught some Arab boys from a wealthy family who hoped eventually to go to an English university. He had agreed to ―fit Felix in his spare time,‖ which meant that sometimes Felix went to Mr.Posthon’s office and was told to study this or that, and occasionally Mr. Posthon managed to find a spare hour when he dropped in to Miss Bohun’s and gave Felix some instruction. Most of Felix’s day was spent in study in his bedroom. He knew he would not get far in this way and he knew also that Mr. Posthon would have been disappointed in him. Miss Bohun did not say or do anything that gave Felix any clue as to how he had failed her, but Mr. Posthon, after testing his knowledge, said without hesitation, ―What on earth have you been doing with yourself since you left England?‖

11

Felix explained that in Cario he had taken lessons with an old English lady, an ex-governess(前女家教) to a royal family, who had taught him English composition, French, drawing, geography and history. Unfortunately she had known less Greek, Latin and mathematics than he did. His mother had treated lessons there as a joke, and said: ―Never mind, darling, when we return to England we’ll make up for the lost time.‖

―Your parents ought to have been ashamed of themselves, keeping you away from school during the most important years of your life. I can’t understand it,‖ said Mr. Posthon, ―Your father is an educated man, isn’t he?‖

Felix explained, ―It wasn’t my father’s fault. Mother wouldn’t let me go back to England when the war started. Father was angry, but Mother said, ―If he goes I may not see him again.‖

Mr. Posthon said , ―You will never make up for it.‖ But Felix, although he knew it to be a serious matter, could not really care.

66.According to the passage, which of the following countries did Felix not go to? A. Iraq B. France C. Egypt D. Britain

67. Before he arrived Miss Bohun had arranged for Felix ______________. A. to go to school in the Education Office.

B. to have private lessons with some Arab boys. C. to study at home every morning.

D. to be taught by someone who had another job.

68. Felix didn’t feel the arrangements Miss Bohun had made were satisfactory because ________________.

A. he knew Miss Bohun was disappointed in him. B. his lessons were very irregular. C. he did not like Mr. Posthon.

D. he did not like studying at Miss Bohun’s.

69. Felix’s lessons before he came to stay with Miss Bohun, ___________________.

A. were shared with some children from a royal family. B. were not thought suitable by his father. C. had not covered some subjects properly.

D. had frequently been interrupted by his mother. 70. What did Mr. Posthon think of Felix’s education?

A. He thought his father had not encouraged him enough.

B. He was surprised that Felix had managed to learn anything at all. C. He thought Felix had wasted a great deal of valuable time. D. He believed that Felix could catch up with the other boys later.

Chinese basketball players have never been so close to the NBA before but questions remain about how they will adjust to life in the NBA if they go.

Wang Zhizhi,the 2.16-metre center for the Bayi Rockets who was chosen by the Dallas Mavericks two years ago,has finally received permission from authorities to

12

travel to Dallas to play for the rest of the NBA season after he finishes playing in the Chinese Basketball Association’s finals on March 25th.If he has no problems with his visa(签证),Wang will be the NBA’s first Asian player.Wang was chosen by the Mavericks in the second round of the 1999 draft but the Rockets, an army-run club,refused to let him go.After negotiations（谈判）between the Rockets and NBA representatives（代表）,the decision was made to allow Wang the chance to try his hand at American basketball,but only for a period of short time.He has to be back to play in the Ninth National Games in November in Guangzhou.

Another center who has attracted attention from the NBA is Yao Ming,the 2.25-meter star who has led to the Shanghai Sharks into the finals fight with the Rockets this year.The 20-year-old’s NBA dreams might be harder to realize.Yao is the center of the Sharks and the club’s manager Bei Genyuan has said that he would allow Yao to go only at a proper time,for a proper team and under proper conditions. Yao hasn’t been chosen yet and it is unlikely that he will be any time soon.People in the Shark’s front office earlier told members of the press that ―it is not proper for Yao to attend the draft this year‖because he has to represent Shanghai in the Ninth National Games.

Even if Wang and Yao make it to the promised land of basketball at last,analysts on both sides of the Pacific have said the NBA road will be a long one for both of them.Besides needing to work on their upper body strength,Wang and Yao will also have to adapt（适应）to the speed,techniques and above all,culture of the NBA.

71. Yao Ming has attracted attention from NBA because ____. A. he is 2.25 metres tall,who is the tallest basketball player in China B.he is the center of the Shanghai Sharks and has led Sharks into the final fight with the Rockets

C.he is regarded as the best basketball player in China D.he is thought highly of in the international world  72.Yao Ming can play for NBA if ____. A.there is no problem with his visa

B.NBA agrees to supply favorable conditions for him C.time and conditions are proper

D.NBA can pay a large sum of money for Sharks 

73.The underlined phrase―try his hand‖in the passage probably means____. A.初试身手 B.碰碰运气 C.成为一员 D.为其效劳 74.NBA chose Wang Zhizhi so that __________. A.it can show NBA need talents

B.Wang Zhizhi can have a bright future C.its whole level will be improved

There are two kinds of physical activity which require special training.The first demands exact,careful movements of the muscles(肌肉).This kind of activity must be strictly controlled because even a slight movement in the wrong direction will lead to a mistake.To type quickly, for example,a person needs training;the slightest movement of a finger in the wrong direction may cause a spelling mistake.A dancer who has to dance on the point of her shoes or turn around on one foot must be trained for a long period of time before she can sense her own center and balance herself.You may have seen a girl walking on a rope across an empty space,which,too,requires a lot of practice. The second kind of physical activity needs greater strength or extra effort.Most of us get tired if we try to run half a mile without stopping,but a speciallytrained person can do this without much effort.Three years ago,some scientists carried out experiments,which produced meaningful and unexpected results.They wanted to find out whether a certain amount of physical exercise would injure those suffering from heart problems.They selected some male patients and trained them in continuous bicycle riding.They were surprised to find that the harmful effect of a given amount of physical effort was actually less on the hearts of these trained patients than on those of the patients who were not similarly trained.This is important because it shows that regular physical exercise enables us to make better use of the oxygen(氧气) we breathe in and that this training, in fact,reduces the amount of work our hearts do.Many tasks which ar

Smoking is harmful

When you are in public places, you will see many smokers. And most of them are young people and even middle school students. It is said that in China smokers cover abut 45 percent.

Why do so many people enjoy smoking? Some think that it is a pleasure, some believe that it can refresh themselves. In fact, smoking is a bad habit. It does great harm to our health, not only to the smoker himself, but also to others. For smokers, it is a great waste of money, and causes all kinds of diseases. Besides, many fires are caused by careless smokers.

Today, more and more people are beginning to realize the harm of smoking and decide to give it up. If you are not a smoker, don’t start.

Beethoven , a famous musician in the world , was born in Germany in 1770. In his childhood Beethoven didn’t have a happy life. His father was a singer. When he was only four, his father began to make him practise hour after hour on different musical instruments.

Beethoven loved music , and he was able to go around giving concerts when he was only a boy of eleven. At the age of seventeen, he won high praise from Mozart, the great musician at that time. Beethoven was often poor and ill during his life . After one illness, he suddenly found himself deaf. At that time he was only thirty-one. It was a blow to him indeed, but he still went on working and writing music pieces.

20

To people’s surprise, some of his best pieces were written after he lost his hearing. In 1827 , leaving more than 300 pieces, the great musician died , but his name is still remembered to this day.

Text 10

Having drunk too much , Alfred was driving his car along the country road at the top speed.

Then and old man walked across the road. Unfortunately, the car ran into him, and the old man was terrified. But after looking around and thinking there was not a single person who saw the accident , he drove away without taking the old man to the hospital. The old man was not a bit stupid. He looked up and kept Alfred’s car’s number in his mind. About one month later, they both went to the court. Alfred’s lawyer said, ―Alfred is an experienced driver of more than 20 years.‖

―If experience can hold water here,‖ the old man’s lawyer replied, ―the old man has been walking for over 60 years safely.‖
