You mayeven have entered the shop just to find shelter from a suddenshower. Whatever the reason, you can soon become totallyunaware of your surroundings. You soon focus on some book orother, and usually it is only much later that you realize you havespent too much time there and must hurry off to keep someforgotten appointment.This opportunity to escape the realities of everyday life is the mainattraction of a bookshop. A music shop is very much like abookshop. You can range round such places to your heart's content.If it is a good shop, no assistant will approach you with the greeting,"Can I help you?" You needn't buy anything you don't want. In abookshop an assistant should remain in the background until youhave finished reading. Then, and only then, are his servicesnecessary.Once a medical student had to read a textbook which was far tooexpensive for him to buy. He couldn't obtain it from the library andthe only copy he could find was in a bookshop. Every afternoon,therefore, he would go to the shop and read a little of the book at atime. One day, however, he was disappointed to find the bookmissing from its usual place. He was about to leave, when henoticed the owner of the shop making a gesture to him with hishand. Expecting to be scolded, he went towards him. To hissurprise, the owner pointed to the book which was put away in acorner. "I put it there in case anyone had a desire to buy it!" he said,and left the delighted student to continue his reading.1.Time spent in a bookshop can be most pleasant_______________.A. only when you can find the book you want to buyB. only when you are a book-loverC. even when you enter it to avoid a sudden showerD. even when you know you are late for an appointment2.

If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p. m. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it's a matter of life and death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.In social life, time plays a very important role. In the US guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation (邀请) to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But this is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten.The meaning of time is different in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings arise between people from cultures that treat time differently. To be on time is valued highly in American life, for example. If people are not on time, they may be regarded as not polite or not fully responsible. In the US no one would think of keeping a business associate waiting for an hour; it would bebad-mannered. A person who is five minutes late is expected to apologize. If he is less than five minutes late, he will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.6.If you telephone someone early in the day, it means___________________.A. you are expected to explain whyB. you are not kind enoughC. you want to show your concern for himD. you have a very important matter to discuss7.The expression "a matter of life and death" means__________________.A. an issue of the greatest importance and emergencyB. a very important appointmentC. a matter of whether someone should live or dieD. a strong desire to communicate8.In the US guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded_______________.A. if the invitation to a dinner party is not extended earlyenoughB. if the invitation to a dinner party is extended too far inadvanceC. if the invitation to a dinner party is not extended repeatedlyD. if the invitation to a dinner party is extended to too manypeople9.The word "misunderstanding" can be explained as____________.A. failing to attend a partyB. failing to understand correctlyC. standing in one's wayD. standing on one's own feet10.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to thepassage?A.

People called this thetime of the Gold Rush.A gold miner came into a city looking for a pair of pants. He wantedpants strong enough to stand up to the rough work of mining. Hemet a young man named Levi, who sold heavy cloth for tents andwagon tops. They asked a tailor to use heavy cloth for their pants. Then Levi went into the business of making work pants. He asked his brothers to send him some strong blue cotton cloth called denim (斜纹粗棉布). With this blue denim cloth, Levi started making the kind of pants we call blue jeans today. They were sewed up in the same way as other pants.In 1860, a miner said that the pockets weren't strong enough to hold the pieces of gold he found. The pockets kept falling off the pants. The cloth was all right. It was the thread that wasn't strong enough. So Levi used rivets (铆钉) to attach the pockets onto the pants.Cowboys needed tough pants, too. They liked their pants to fit tightly. But the rivets marked the cowboys' saddles. So Levi covered the rivets with cloth. Then everybody was happy.1.This article as a whole is about __________________.A. how people got blue jeansB. the Gold Rush in CaliforniaC. How blue jeans are madeD.

Rote-learning (死记硬背), spoon-fed education, produces a brand of kids that don't know what to do when entering university. They are disciplined into following, not leading. Yet the future depends on creativity and imagination. The world needs creators, makers and shakers of the new centuries, not the followers of the past centuries. As the numbers increase at college and university level, more students from the lower ends are likely to be thrown into a process designed to choose only learners that have proved excellent in listening to teachers.There are three ways to learn: looking, listening and doing.Students and teachers today are a product of learning by listening. The computer may not be liked by traditional teachers, who use rote-learning to put information, which will be out of date in a few years, into the heads of the students. With computer learning you learn by looking, listening and doing; you use three methods oflearning, not just one. Therefore, you can learn faster.The changing speed of information is frightening. What we learn now will be out of date in the near future. So what students are learning now at school may be replaced by the time they finish university. We have to learn by choice what to forget. Rote-learning for exams is one thing, but wouldn't it be better to learn how to learn? The students at university today could possibly be doing a job in the not too distant future which has not yet been invented.6.According to the author, the future doesn't need____________.A. creativityB. imaginationC. creatorsD. followers7.In the author's view, how can students learn well?A. Carefully listen to the teacher in class.B. Take down every single word said by the teacher.C. Learn all the notes by heart.D. Combine listening with looking and doing.8.What does the author mean by "The changing speed ofinformation is frightening"?A. We don't have enough time to adjust ourselves to the speedof information.B. What we learned today may not be useful tomorrow.C. The pace of life is too fast.D. The world is changing every minute.9.What does the last sentence of the passage tell us?A. Rote-learning is completely harmful.B. Students may have to do jobs which are not yet inexistence.C. It's better to learn how to learn than learn what to forget.D. Students must imagine the future.10.The author's attitude towards rote-learning is _________.A. approvingB. disapprovingC. confidentD. opposite to what the words say。
