Pre-reading Activities 1. There are many traditional forms of courtesy toward women — gestures like lighting their cigarettes for them or standing up when they enter a room. What others can you think of? 2. As you listen to the passage the first time, see if it mentions any of the polite gestures that you thought of. Then listen again for the answers to the following questions: a) Where do you imagine the incident the woman describes took place? b) What courtesy did she expect? c) What, in the man's view, is the basis of a lot of common courtesy? 3. What do you think of the woman's argument about everyday reality? What about the man's view of common courtesy? The Titanic Puzzle Should a good feminist accept priority seating on a lifeboat? Charles Krauthammer You're on the Titanic II. It has just hit an iceberg and is sinking. And, as last time, there are not enough lifeboats. The captain shouts, "Women and children first!" But this time, another voice is heard: "Why women?" Why, indeed? Part of the charm of the successful movie Titanic are the period costumes, the period extravagance, and the period prejudices. An audience can enjoy these at a distance. Oddly, however, of all the period attitudes in the film, the old maritime tradition of "women and children first" enjoys total acceptance by modern audiences. Listen to the audience boo at the bad guys who try to sneak on the lifeboats with — or ahead of — the ladies. But is not grouping women with children a raging anachronism? Should not any self-respecting modern person, let alone feminist, object to it as insulting to women? Yet its usage is as common today as it was in 1912. Consider these examples taken almost at random from recent newspapers: "The invaders gunned down the Indians, most of them women and children..." "As many as 200 civilians, most of them women and children, were killed..." "At the massacre in Ahmici 103 Muslims, including 33 women and children, were killed..." At a time when women fly combat aircraft and run multi-national corporations, how can one not wince when adult women are routinely classed with children? In Ahmici, it seems, 70 adult men were killed. And how many adult women? Not clear. When things get serious, when blood starts to flow or ships start to sink, you'll find them with the children. Children are entitled to special consideration for two reasons: helplessness and innocence. They have not yet acquired either the faculty of reason or the wisdom of experience. Consequently, they are defenseless (incapable of fending for themselves) and blameless (incapable of real sin). That's why we grant them special protection. In an emergency, it is our duty to save them first because they, helpless, have put their lives in our hands. And in wartime, they are supposed to be protected by special immunity because they can have threatened or offended no one. The phrase "women and children" attributes to women the same dependence and moral simplicity we find in five-year-olds. Such an attitude perhaps made sense in an era dominated by male privilege. Given the disabilities attached to womanhood in 1912, it was only fair that a new standard of gender equality not suddenly be proclaimed just as lifeboat seats were being handed out. That deference — a somewhat more urgent variation on giving up your seat on the bus to a woman — complemented and perhaps to some extent compensated for the legal and social constraints placed on women at the time. But in our era of extensive social restructuring to grant women equality in education, in employment, in government, in athletics, what entitles women to the privileges — and reduces them to the status — of children? Evolutionary psychologists might say that ladies-to-the-lifeboats is an instinct that developed to perpetuate the species: Women are indispensable child-bearers. You can repopulate a village if the women survive and only a few of the men, but not if the men survive and only a few of the women. Women being more precious, biologically speaking, than men, evolution has conditioned us to give them the kind of life-protecting deference we give to that other seed of the future: kids. The problem with this kind of logic, however, is its depressing reductionism. It's like a serious version of the geneticist's old joke that a chicken is just an egg's way of making another egg. But humans are more than just egg-layers. And traditional courtesies are more than just disguised survival strategies. So why do we say "women and children"? Perhaps it's really "women for children." The most basic parental bond is maternal. Equal parenting is great, but women, from breast to cradle to reassuring hug, can nurture in ways that men cannot. And thus, because we value children, women should go second. The children need them. But kiddie-centrism gets you only so far. What if there are no children on board? You are on the Titanic III, and this time it's a singles cruise. No kids, no parents. Now: Iceberg! Lifeboats! Action! Here's my scenario. The men, out of sheer irrational heroism, should let the women go first. And the women, out of sheer feminist self-respect, should refuse. Result? Stalemate. How does this movie end? How should it end? Hurry, the ship's going down.

中考英语阅读
中考英语阅读中考英语阅读15篇中考英语阅读1一般而言，这类问题被归结为单词量不够。
要解决这个问题，是不是就要多背单词呢?单词是要背，但是要背到要点上。
中考大纲，英语的要求是1600字，初中生的阅读要求是200,000字，高中生约300，000字。
这些阅读材料中的单词必然是以大纲中的1600为主，而剩余的，阅读中允许的3%的生词则是在英语约300，000的总单词量中去选取。
要想靠背诵完全解决生词问题，从这里看似乎不大实际。
这里我有一点想法，第一，不是每个生词都是必须看懂的。
英语中有大量的词总是大写第一个字母的，而他们也大多属于专有名词，表示人名，地名，事件。
如Adela、Manchester、NATO。
遇到这类词完全可以视若罔闻。
第二，有的词是乔装过的。
学英语的人都知道，英语中有些词通过前面或者后面加一些字母，就会变成另一个词。
如，regular--irregular, kind--kindness,前者通过加-ir变成起否定形式，后者通过在后面加-ness,变成了名词。
归纳起来，一般说前缀变词义(如肯否定)，后缀变词性。
只要记住这个原则，平时在学习是有意识的去检验，积累各种加前后缀的形式，你的单词量将是以倍数增加第三，有的词是有"前科"的。
就阅读这个题型而言，有的词是在文章中有提示的。
英语写作有个潜在的规则，词语若非不得已，不要重复。
这是同学们写作时，老是告诉大家的话，而这也是，大家做的阅读材料的作者在上学时，他的老师告诉他的话。
秉承这个原则，我们可以在文章的结构平行出找到线索。
或是反义词，或是近义词。
根据文章的具体情况，同学们不难作出一个比较有针对性的选择。
第四，有些词是必学的。
这里说得必学的就是，大纲要求的单词(如初中的1600词)，平时做题总是遇到的单词，生活中会经常遇到的单词。
这些词是同学们发挥才智，施展所有做题技巧的基础。
在学这些单词时，要做到，有方法、有计划、有恒心。

Instead, she just heard sparrows making noise in the bushes. “Maybe Gulliver missed the harbour.” Dad said. After breakfast, Katie took her camera to the harbour. All the colourful boats made pretty pictures, but not the one she wanted most.Katie waved to Ernest, her uncle’s neighbour, on the boathouse. The gull’s name, Gulliver, was given by him.The gull’s size and his single leg made the bird itself different. But Ernest told Katie what Gulliver did that first summer Katie and her dad came caught everyone’s attention. Young Katie lay in her stroller (婴儿车) on the floating dock (码头) when Uncle Ralph and Dad were repairing boats nearby. The waves from the passing boat made Katie’s stroller shake strongly. “Kee-aah! Kee-aah!” Gulliver made the loudest cry. Dad and uncle rushed to Katie and stopped the stroller from falling into the water. They kept a close eye at Katie after that. Another summer Katie was three years old, she liked to touch everything. But Dad didn’t watch her every minute when she tried to catch small ducks around or fish from water. “Kee-aah! Kee-aah!” The gull’s cry brought Dad back in time. He stopped Katie as she tried to follow the small ducks running towards water. Several summers passed, and Gulliver continued to call out as Katie tried new things.This summer Katie did the usual by-the-sea things she’d learned to do. One day, she rowed a boat out but was trapped on a rock by a storm. As she looked up and tried to catch the last warmth of the sunshine through dark clouds, she saw a single white feather. A gull feather? She searched the sky for an answer. Putting her arms around knees, she closed eyes to hold in the tears (眼泪). “Kee-aah! Kee-aah!” Katie sat up. “Katie! Katie!” Soon, Dad and Uncle Ralph appeared. “How lucky! We heard Gulliver as we came around the rocks,” Uncle Ralph said, “At least… it sounded like him.

Everything was ugly.They came to where an old man sat. He was selling dirty pieces of cloth, smelly old bones, and all kinds of old and useless things. As they watched, two old women and an old man, equally dirty, smelly, and ugly came into the shop. They carried large bags.“Come and sit by the fire,” the shopkeeper said. “Tell me what you have to sell me.”“Nothing a dead man will miss,” the first woman said with a nasty（让人讨厌的）laugh.“If he wanted to keep them after he was dead, why wasn’t he a good man when he was alive? If he had been, he would have had someone to look after him. He would not have died alone.”“That’s very true,” said the second woman, putting a few clothes on the floor. “He got the death he deserved.” She pointed at the clothes. “What will you give me for those, Joe?” She asked the shopkeeper, adding, “I did nowrong taking them from the dead man’s house.”The shopkeeper looked at everything the woman wanted to sell him and put a price on it.

After a minute, he asked the young man to look up. “What do you see t his time?” the wise man asked.“I see birds flying around high mountains, t he white clouds on the mountains and the blue sky above the white cl ouds,” the young man answered.Then he asked the wise man‟s feelings.“I feel small and powerless,” the wise man answered. “A person who knows to look upward can clearly understand his position. A person who knows the blue sky is always overhead won‟t be so foolish as to believe he rules over t he Earth or any other people.”The young man felt foolish for his pride. From then on, whenever he began to feel as if theAn 8-year-old child heard her parents talking about her little brother Andrew. All she knew was that he was very sick and they had no money. Only a very expensive operation could save him. One morning, the girl heard her father say to her mother: “Only a miracle can save Andrew now.” The girl went to her bedroom, collected all of her money and counted it carefully. She hurried to a drugstore (药房).“How can I help you?” asked the salesman (售货员).“I want to buy a miracle,” the girl answered. “My brother has something bad growing inside his head. My daddy says only a miracle can save him. So how much does a miracle cost?”“We don‟t sell miracles here, my dear. I‟m so sorry,” the salesman said, sadly.“What kind of a miracle does your brother need?” asked a wel l-dressed man standing nearby.“I don‟t know,” she answered. “He‟s really sick and needs an operation in his hea d.

He be came more and more frustrated.But he was never absent from Professor Yang‟s biology class. He liked the course. Besides, Yang‟s class was so interesting that he a lways listened carefully, never caring about whether the other students were paying υattention or not in class.Once he put a note in the homework he handed in, saying: “Professor, it is said that today‟s college students are cheaper than potatoes. Do y ou agree?”That day Professor Yang sent for him after class. When he came, he found the professor at a table with food on it. They drank happily over their meal.When they became half drunk, the professor produced a small potato that was sprouting (发芽的). “Do you know how much this costs?” he asked the young man. “It‟s soft but poisonous (有毒的). Nobody will take ” He then threw the potato away.ϖit even if it‟s free.The professor then showed him another potato. It was half the size of a football and perfectly round. “This potato is organic (有机的). It is not only large and fresh but also free of pollution. It is in hig h demand and quite expensive.”The young man was impressed by what he‟d heard. “Be such a potato,” said the professor.Can you sing or dance? Do you ride a unicycle (独轮车)? Do magic tricks? Drink a glass of milk in ten seconds? Recite poems from memory? Well, you‟ve got talent, my friend! And what better time to show it off than at the school talent show!Middle school talent shows in the US happen every year. Whatever you‟re good at, you have five minutes to show the world. It‟s early in the school year, and kids can become little celebrities. The shy boy who spends his evenings practicing Spanish guitar will surprise his classmates with beautiful music. The sporty girl on the soccer team will wow (让……惊叹) the crowd with her sweet singing voice. Everyone has a chance to shine.Almost anyone doing almost anything is allowed into a talent show. As long as your act isn‟t rude or illegal (不合法的), it‟s a “go” (尝试). Of course, you must audition (试演) first, usually in front of a group of teachers. You will have a few weeks to practice your act and there will be at least one dress rehearsal (彩排).On the day of the show, all the students sit in the school gymnasium, ready to cheer for the many skills of their classmates (and sometimes teachers, too).True or false:1. Middle school talent shows in the US happen every year.2. Kids can become the celebrities because of talent shows.3. Only students in the middle school have the chance to take part in talent shows.4. Illegal acts are allowed.5. Students will be given at least one dress rehearsal.1. Which of the following is TRUE about the school talent show in the US?A. It happens at the beginning of every term.B. A student has five minutes to show off.C. Shy boys and quiet girls don‟t like it.D. There are many competitions.2.

It‟s out. The latestpopular hand gesture (手势) is to curl (卷曲) both of your handsand put them together to make a heart-shape.The heart-hand gesture means something betwee n …I love you‟and …thank you‟. I t‟s a sweet, simple message which you ca n sendwithout saying a word.” Known as “hand heart”, many young starsin the US have done the move in recent photos. Last month during acharity show, they did the hand heart and put the photos online. They did it to help out three kids whose parents were killed in a car accident. The gesture became a real hit after that.“It used to take longer for nonverbal (不用语言的) culture to move. But now, with smart phones and the Internet, it‟s much faster,” said an American language expert.In the Republic of Korea, the hand heart has been popular for a long time, in a different way. People there like making a “bigger heart” by putting their hands above their heads and making a heart shape with their arms. It means: “I love you.”C Man runs across AmericaHow long does it take to run across America? A 40-year-old Englishman did it in just 100 days, running across 13 states. He ran about 48km each day, 1 than a marathon(马拉松). His running 2 ￡74,000 (765,000 yuan) for a hospital in England and a children‟s charity. 3 his 100 days of running, he overcame (克服) a lot of 4 , such as cold weather, After finishing, he was very 5 of himself. “It‟s amazing.

Miguel Napa, an eighth-grader at Fairfield Middle School in Ohio, US, got a big surprise when he saw his modern classroom on the first day of school.In Napa‟s classroom, there are many new electronic (电子的) tools, like iPads. Starting this semester, they will use the electronics to take notes, watch videos and do projects and homework.“It‟s amazing,” said Napa. “I prefer using an iPad to work on math or other projects with my team members.”The school uses new technology (技术) in classrooms to help students see, hear, touch and sometimes experience their tasks, according to Greg Rasmussen, an official at the school. “Technology is pretty common in most of our classrooms now,” Rasmussen said. “It‟s about trying to use technology to open the world up to kids. You can bring the outside world in.”Science teacher Jared Nissen agrees. “It is a quick way for students to know the outside world,” he said.Nissen now sees himself as a guide of learning instead of as a teacher. “If they have a question for me, I will try to teach them where to find the a nswers rather than tell them what the answers are,” he said.Jonathan Bower, 15, loves technology, but was not really interested in class before. Now he likes the classes very much. “It helps me use what I know about technology at school,” Bower said. “Most importantly, I enjoy the classroom. This, of course, will help my studies.”II.科普自然类初中版People say dogs are man‟s best friend. They are trained to help people inmany ways.Most dogs are used as search and rescue (救援) workers.

A study from Canada in 2010 showed that dogs could make autistic children feel relaxed, safe and independent (独立的).Herding dogs (牧羊犬) are important to sheep owners. They keep the sheep safe. They are common in Australia, New Zealand and some parts of China.

When it comes to the slowing economy, Ellen Spero isn’t biting her nails just yet. But the 47-year-old manicurist isn’t cutting, filling or polishing as many nails as she’d like to, either. Most of her clients spend $12 to $50 weekly, but last month two longtime customers suddenly stopped showing up. Spero blames the softening economy. “I’m a good economic indicator,”she says. “I provide a service that people can do without when they’re concerned about saving some dollars。
” So Spero is downscaling, shopping at middle-brow Dillard’s department store near her suburban Cleveland home, instead of Neiman Marcus. “I don’t know if other clients are going to abandon me, too” she says。
Even before Alan Greenspan’s admission that America’s red-hot economy is cooling, lots of working folks had already seen signs of the slowdown themselves. From car dealerships to Gap outlets, sales have been lagging for months as shoppers temper their spending. For retailers, who last year took in 24 percent of their revenue between Thanksgiving and Christmas, the cautious approach is coming at a crucial time. Already, experts say, holiday sales are off 7 percent from last year’s pace. But don’t sound any alarms just yet. Consumers seem only mildly concerned, not panicked, and many say they remain optimistic about the economy’s long-term prospects, even as they do some modest belt-tightening。

《21世纪最新时文阅读材料30篇》How do Zhang Ziyi and Yao Ming Learn English?章子怡和姚明是如何学习英语的？Actress Zhang Ziyi, 27, is now not only a household name inChina, but also the face of Asian cinema in Hollywood. AlthoughZhang received praises for her work in the Oscar-winning movie"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" (《卧虎藏龙》), she didn'tspeak a word of English at that time. When she met directorSteven Spielberg for the title role of American film, "Memoirs ofa Geisha" (《艺伎回忆录》), Zhang could only blurt out a fewwords her agent had taught her five minutes ago: "Hire(雇佣)me!"She finally got the role, which meant she had to speak onlyEnglish in the film. To improve her English, Zhang listened to andrepeated words and phrases she heard on music CDs. One of theartists she was listening to was Eminem, which obviously led tosome embarrassing (尴尬的) moments for Zhang. "I didn't always know what Eminem was talking about, so I wrote down the lyrics (歌词) and repeated them. Later, I understood how rude they were."Zhang said her favourite English idiom is "to drive one up the wall". "Learning English is driving me up the wall," she said.Like Zhang, basketball star Yao Ming also had to learn English to help his career development. Yao landed in the NBA in 2002. His team the Houston Rockets found a translator (翻译) for Yao. To adapt(适应) himself to the new environment, Yao used English as much as possible. On court, he had to use the language to municate with his teammates. Off court, he tried to have conversations in English with his teacher just to practise.Yao Ming also had to memorize(记住) lots of new vocabulary. "Sometimes I learn a new word but quickly forgot it. But I find my memories are consolidated(强化) when someone uses it later."Now Yao is good at English. He doesn't need a translator anymore.Match point for new starX洁：个子小怎么啦，我一样行。
