Task8

“With the increase in the number of such advertisements, however, each advertiser within a certain group is competing with others in the same group for the reader’s attention”。 Psychologists take opposing views of how external rewards, from warm praise to old cash, affect motivation and creativity. Behaviorists, who study the relation between actions and, argue that rewards can improve performance at work and school. Some other researchers who study various aspects of mental life, maintain those rewards often destroy creativity by encouraging dependence on approval and gifts from others.

The latter view has gained many supporters, especially among educators. But the careful use of small monetary rewards sparks in grade-school children suggesting that properly presented inducements indeed aid inventiveness, according to a study in the June Journal Personality and Social Psychology.

“If they know they're working for a reward and can focus on a relatively challenging task, they show the most creativity,” says Robert Esenberger of the University of Delaware in Newark. “But it's easy to kill creativity by giving rewards for poor performance or creating too much anticipation for rewards.”

A teacher who continually draws attention to rewards or who hands out high grades for ordinary achievement ends up with uninspired students, Esenberger holds. As an example of the latter point, he notes growing efforts at major universities to tighten grading standards and restore falling grades.

In earlier grades, the use of so-called token economics, in which students handle challenging problems and receive performance-based points toward valued rewards, shows promise in raising effort and creativity, the Delaware psychologist claims.

（ ）1. Psychologists are divided with regard to their attitudes toward ________.

A. the choice between spiritual encouragement and monetary rewards

B. the appropriate amount of external rewards

C. the study of relationship between actions and

D. the effects of external rewards on students' performance

Task9

In 1993 New York State ordered stores to charge a deposit on beverage containers within a year. Consumers had returned millions of aluminum cans and glass and plastic bottles. Plenty of companies were eager to accept the aluminum and glass as raw materials for new products. But because few could figure out what to do with the plastic, much of it wound up buried in landfills (垃圾填埋場(chǎng)). The problem was not limited to New York. Unfortunately, there were too few uses for second-hand plastic.

Today, one out of five plastic soda bottles is recycled in the United States. The reason for the change is that now there are dozens of companies across the country buying discarded plastic soda bottles and turning them into fence posts, paint brushes, etc.

As the New York experience shows, recycling involves more than simply separating valuable materials from the rest of the rubbish. A discard remains a discard until somebody figures out how to give it a second life-and until economic arrangements exist to give that second life value. Without adequate markets to absorb materials collected for recycling, throwaways actually depress prices for used materials.

Shrinking landfill space, and rising costs for burying and burning rubbish are forcing local governments to look more closely at recycling. In many areas, the East Coast especially, recycling is already the least expensive waste-management option. For every ton of waste recycled, a city avoids paying for its disposal, which, in parts of New York, amounts to saving of more than $100 per ton. Recycling also stimulates the local economy by creating jobs and trims the pollution control and energy costs of industries that make recycled products by giving them a more refined raw material.

（ ）1.What regulation was issued by New York State concerning beverage containers?

A. Beverage companies should be responsible for collecting and reusing discarded plastic soda bottles.

B. Throwaways should be collected by the state for recycling.

C. A fee should be charged on used containers for recycling.

D. Consumers had to pay for beverage containers and could get their money back on returning them.

（ ）2.The returned plastic bottles in New York used to ________.

A .end up somewhere underground

B .be turned into raw materials

C .have a second-life value

D. be separated from other rubbish

（ ）3.The key problem in dealing with returned plastic beverage containers is ________.

A. to sell them at a profitable price

B .how to turn them into useful things

C. how to reduce their recycling costs

D. to lower the prices for used materials

（ ）4.Recycling ahs become the first choice for the disposal of rubbish because ________.

A. local governments find it easy to manage

B. recycling ahs great appeal for the jobless

C .recycling causes little pollution

D. other methods are more expensive

（ ）5.It can be concluded from the passage that ________.

A. rubbish is a potential remedy for the shortage of raw materials

B .local governments in the U. S. can expect big profits from recycling

C. recycling is to be recommended both economically and environmentally

D. landfills will still be widely used for waste disposal

Task10

Poet William Stafford once said that we are defined more by the detours(繞行路) in life than by the narrow road toward goals. I like this image. But it was quite by accident that I discovered the deep meaning of his words.

For years we made the long drive from our home in Seattle to my parents' home in Boise in nine hours .We traveled the way most people do: the fastest, shortest, easiest road, especially when I was alone with four noisy, restless kids who hate confinement(限制) and have strong opinions about everything.

Road trips felt risky，so I would drive fast, stopping only when I had to .We would stick to the freeways and arrive tired.

But then Banner, our lamb was born .He was rejected by his mama days before our planned trip to Boise .I had two choices: leave Banner with my husband, or take him with me .My husband made the decision for me.

That is how I found myself on the road with four kids, a baby lamb and nothing but my everlasting optimism to see me through .We took the country roads out of necessity .We had to stop every hour, let Banner shake out his legs and feed him .The kids chased him and one another .They'd get back in the car breathless and energized, smelling fresh from the cold air.

We explored side roads, catching grasshoppers in waist－h(huán)igh grass .Even if we simply looked out of the car windows at baby pigs following their mother, or fish leaping out of the water, it was better than the best ride down the freeway .Here was life .And new horizons(見(jiàn)識(shí))．

We eventually arrived at my parents' doorstep astonishingly fresh and full of stories.

I grew brave with the trip back home and creative with my disciplining technique .On an empty section of road, everyone started quarreling .I stopped the car, ordered all kids out and told them to meet me up ahead .I parked my car half a mile away and read my book in sweet silence.

Some road trips are by necessity fast and straight .But that trip with Banner opened our eyes to a world available to anyone adventurous enough to wander around and made me realize that a detour may uncover the best part of journey—and the best part of yourself.

Task11

Do you know why different animals or pests (昆蟲(chóng)) have their special colors? Colors in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.

Some birds like eating locusts (蝗蟲(chóng)), but birds cannot easily catch them. Why? It is because locusts change their colors together with the change of the colors of crops(莊稼). When crops are green, locusts look green. But as the harvest time comes, locusts change to the same brown color as crops have. Some other pests with different colors from plants are easily found and eaten by others. So they have to hide themselves for lives and appear only at night.

If you study the animal life, you’ll find the main use of coloring is to protect themselves. Bears, lions and other animals move quietly through forests. They cannot be easily seen by hunters (獵人). This is because they have the colors much like the trees.

Have you ever noticed an even stranger act? A kind of fish in the sea can send out a kind of very black liquid (液體)when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads over (散開(kāi)), its enemies (敵人)cannot find it. And it immediately swims away. So it has lived up to now though it is not strong at all.

A. are small animals

B. are easily found by birds

Task14

Norm Pethrick, a 36-year-old man in Australia’s northern city Darwin, was praised on Thursday for jumping onto a crocodile’s back to save his wife Wendy at Litchfield National Park, a popular tourist spot southwest of Darwin, a local newspaper reported.

Ms Pethrick was standing on a river bank Wednesday afternoon when the saltwater crocodile lunged (撲), locking its jaws on both her legs as it tried to drag her underwater.

Norm Pethrick, who with his wife had been collecting water, immediately went to help her. He jumped onto the back, poked (戳) the eyes of the crocodile and finally got his wife free.

Ms Pethrick was later taken to Royal Darwin Hospital for a medical treatment. The doctors said she was suffering eight puncture wounds (傷口) in her right leg, a puncture wound in her left leg and a serious cut to one of her fingers.

“This could have been a fatal and tragic situation,” said the general manager of Royal Darwin Hospital (RDH), Dr Len Notaras, according to a local report.

He said Ms Pethrick was saved by her husband’s “quick and diligent actions”.

Dr Notaras also said she would remain in hospital for three to four days and have an operation to clean the wounds, which are easy to get infected because of bacteria (細(xì)菌) on the teeth of the crocodile.

Task15

We often hear people talking about a generation gap (代溝). The name is new, but the idea is old. Young people and their parents don’t understand each other. The world has always kept changing. During the second century after Christ a wise man said, “Bury me on my face because in a little while everything will be turned upside down.”

There has always been a gap between generations, but more people talk about it now. Old Mr. Ellis thinks he understands what has happened.

“When I was a boy, I thought the world was a beautiful place. My life was very pleasant. But when I was older, I learned about people who were treated badly, people who didn’t have enough to eat. I wanted to help them, and I married a girl who wanted to help them, too. We went to meetings and talked a lot, but it didn’t seem to make much difference. ”

“Our children grew up in a world at war. They didn’t know when the fighting would stop. They wanted their children to have nice clothes and toys. They didn’t want to think about the future. They thought nothing could be done about it.”

“Now I have grandchildren, and they have their own ideas. They are trying to make the world better. They are trying to help other people. They’re making people listen to them. I am proud of their generation.”

Task16

Waste can be seen everywhere in the school. Some students ask for more food than they can eat and others often forget to turn off the lights when they leave the classroom. They say they can afford these things. But I don't agree with them.

Waste can bring a lot of problems. Although China is rich in some resources（資源），we are short of others，for example，fresh water. It is reported that we will have no coal or oil to use in 100 years. So if we go on wasting our resources，what can we use in the future and where can we move? Think about it. I think we should say no to the students who waste things every day. Everybody should stop wasting as soon as possible.

In our everyday life，we can do many things to prevent waste from happening，for example，turn off the water taps（水龍頭） when we finish washing，turn off the lights when we leave the classroom，try not to order more food than we need，and so on. Little by little，everything will be changed. Waste can be stopped one day，if we do our best.

C. China is rich in fresh water. D. Students never waste things.

()5. Which is the best title of this passage？

A. Stop Wasting B. School life C. Waste in the School D. Rich Resources in China

Task17

When I was about 12, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings(缺點(diǎn)). Week by week her list grew: I was very thin, I wasn’t a good student, I talked too much, I was too proud, and so on. I tried to hear all this as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.

He listened to me quietly, then he asked. “Are the things she says true or not? Janet, didn’t you ever wonder what you’re really like? Well, you now have that girl’s opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.”

I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t change (like being very thin), but a good number I could—and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I go to fairly clear picture of myself.

I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it. “That’s just for you,” he said. “You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears in anger and feeling hurt. When something said about you is true, you’ll find it will be of help to you. Our world is full of people who think they know your duty. Don’t shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.”

Daddy’s advice has returned to me at many important moments. In my life, I’ve never had a better piece of advice.

()1. What did the father do after he had heard his daughter’s complaint?

A. He told her not to pay any attention to what her “enemy” had said.

C. He told her to write down all that her “enemy” had said about her and pay attention only to the things that were true.

D. He refused to take the list and have a look at it.

()2. What does “Week by week her list grew” mean?

A. Week by week she discovered more shortcomings of mine and pointed them out to me.

B. She had made a list of my shortcomings and she kept on adding new ones to it so that it was growing longer and longer.

C. I was having more and more shortcomings as time went on.

D. Week by week, my shortcomings grew more serious.

()3. Why did her father listen to her quietly?

A. Because he believed that what her daughter’s “enemy” said was mostly true.

B. Because he had been so angry with his daughter’s shortcomings that he wanted to show this by keeping silent for a while.

C. Because he knew that his daughter would not listen to him at that moment.

D. Because he wasn’t quite sure which girl was telling the truth.

()4. Which do you think would be the best title for this passage?

A. Not an Enemy, but the Best Friend

B. The Best Advice I’ve Ever Had

Task19

An old lady in a plane had a blanket over her head and she did not want to take it off. The air hostess spoke to her, but the old lady said, “I have never been in a plane before, and I am frightened. I am going to keep this blanket over my head until we are back on the ground again!”

Then the captain came. He said, “Madam, I am the captain of this plane. The weather is fine, there are no clouds in the sky, and everything is going very well. “But she continued to hide.

So the captain turned and started to go back. Then the old lady looked out from under the blanket with one eye and said, “I am sorry, young man, but I don’t like planes and I am never going to fly again. But I’ll say one thing,” She continued kindly, “You and your wife keep your plane very clean!”

Task20

Too many people want others to be their friends, but they don’t give friendship back. That is why some friendships don’t last very long. To have a friend, you must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend to treat you. Learning to be a good friend means learning three rules: be honest; be generous；be understanding.

Honesty is where a good friendship starts. Friends must be able to trust one another. If you don’t tell the truth, people usually find out. If a friend finds out that you haven’t been honest, you may lose your friend’s trust. Good friends always count on one another to speak and act honestly.

Generosity means sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow. You don’t have to give your lunch money or your clothes, or enjoy, like our hobbies and your interests. Naturally you will want to share your ideas and feelings. These can be very valuable to a friend. They tell your friend what is important to you. By sharing them you help your friend know you better.

Sooner or later everyone needs understanding and help with a problem. Something may go wrong at school. Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve. Turning to a friend can be a first step in solving the problem. So to be a friend you must listen and understand. You must try to put yourself in your friend’s place so you can understand the problem better.

No two friendships are ever exactly alike. But all true friendships have three things in common. If you plan to keep your friendships, you must practice honesty, generosity and understanding.

() 1. Some friendships don’t last very long because________.

A. there are too many people who want to make friends.

B. they don’t know friendship is something serious

B. Always tell your friend the truth.

C. Discussing your problems with your friend often helps to solve the problem.

Of the three sports — swimming, rowing and sailing, I like rowing 38, because it is the 39 to continue during the winter, when the water is too cold for swimming and the sea is too rough for sailing．40 on the coldest day one can row；41 ice on the water，or thick fog stops one．Sometimes it is so cold when I go 42 that drops of water 43．In such weather, it is not very 44 to swim；one can’t stay in the water long；however, when one is rowing, one gets 45 the longer one goes on．

Passage 7

People from Great Britain brought the English language to North America in the 16th and 17th centuries．And in the 26 300 years，there were 27 many changes in 28 places that now people can 29 tell an English person 30 an American in the way he or she talks．

Many old words 31 in England but were kept in America． For example，300 years ago people in Great Britain got their water from something they called either a “faucet，” a “spigot，” or a “tap．” All these words are 32 heard in different

parts of America， but only “tap” is still common in 33． Americans often made up new words or changed old 34． “Corn” is one kind of plant in America and 35 in England．

Also，over the last three centuries the English language 36 thousands of new words for things that weren’t known 37．And often， American and English people used two 38 names for them． A tin can is called “tin” for short in England， but a “can” in America．The word “radio” is 39 all over the world，including America． But many English people call it a “wireless． ”And almost anything having something to do 40 cars， railroads，etc．41 different names in British and American English．

But now American and British English may be growing closer together． One 42 is the large amount（數(shù)量）of American speech that British people hear daily in movies， on television， or 43 travelers．44 this， Americans seem to be influencing

I spent two months with an American family last year when I studied in America．

It is said， “The best house is in the U．S．A．， the best wife is in Japan， and the best food is in China． ”So I took 26 and pleasure to 27 “the best food” for my American family．Each day，regardless of my poor skill of cooking，I performed（表演）my play in 28 way：changing the dishes’ color，the meat’s type or the soup’s style．Thus，my American friends could discover the 29 of eating Chinese food． Because of my“30” job，I was often rewarded by their 31 of appreciation such as “very tasty”，“excellent”, etc．

But the joke was here：yesterday，I cooked Sichuan－style 32 for dinner．I was 33 at my achievement．

When all the family members arrived at the table，they first looked 34 at the fish，then looked at me．“Why do all the fish have their 35？” they asked，“It’s horrible！”

Horrible or beautiful？ I don’t know．But I 36 know that fish heads are delicious. The 37 is the best part of fish； in 38 only the respectable guest can have the special 39 of enjoying it．

Another 40 thing is：the American friends often said to me“ 41 ”as they 42 fruits or other things．According to Chinese tradition，I would simply smile in answer to their kindness 43 actually helping myself to any of the food．44，I said “help yourself” to them whenever I brought home fruits．Dear me，no matter how much or how often I brought home food，

as long as it was nice to their taste，they 45 hesitated to use their hands to “help themselves” until all was finished．
