【甲】初,权谓吕蒙曰:“卿今当涂掌事,不可不学!”蒙辞以军中多务。
权曰:“孤岂欲卿治经为博士邪!但当涉猎,见往事耳。
卿言多务,孰若孤?孤常读书,自以为大有所益。
”蒙乃始就学。
及鲁肃过寻阳,与蒙论议,大惊曰:“卿今者才略,非复吴下阿蒙!”蒙曰:“士别三日,即更刮目相待,大兄何见事之晚乎!”肃遂拜蒙母,结友而别。
――《孙权劝学》
【乙】余幼时即嗜学。
家贫,无从致书以观,每假借于藏书之家,手自笔录,计日以还。
天大寒,砚冰坚,手指不可屈伸,弗之怠。
录毕,走送之,不敢稍逾约。
以是人多以书假余,余因得遍观群书。
既加冠,益慕圣贤之道。
又患无硕师名人与游,尝趋百里外从乡之先达执经叩问。
先达德隆望尊,门人弟子填其室,未尝稍降辞色。
余立侍左右,援疑质理,俯身倾耳以请;或遇其叱咄,色愈恭,礼愈至,不敢出一言以复;俟其欣悦,则又请焉。
故余虽愚,卒获有所闻。
当余之从师也,负箧曳屣,行深山巨谷中,穷冬烈风,大雪深数尺,足肤皲裂而不知。
至舍,四支僵劲不能动,媵人持汤沃灌,以衾拥覆,久
而乃和。
寓逆旅主人,日再食,无鲜肥滋味之享。
同舍生皆被绮绣,戴朱缨宝饰之帽,腰白玉之环,左佩刀,右备容臭,烨然若神人;余则袍敝衣处其间,略无慕艳意。
以中有足乐者,不知口体之奉不若人也。
盖余之勤且艰若此。
――《送东阳马生序》

这是为什么呢?苏力贝克通过进一步研究,得出如下结论:绝大多数野草种子在被翻出后的数小时之内,如果没有受到光线的刺激,便难以发芽。

A
At the beginning of the century there was a big farm
called Hollywood Ranch. It was near Los Angeles in California.
A few years later Hollywood was one of the most famous places of the world. From the 1910s to the 1950s Hollywood was the film center of the world. Every family knew the names of the film stars Charlie Chaplin, Greta Garbo, Bergman and hundreds more.
The reason why people went to Hollywood to make films was the sun. At first people made films in New York on the east coast of the United States. But then they heard about Los Angeles where there are 350 days of sun every year. As they made all the films by sunlight, the west coast was a much better place to work.
Also near Hollywood you can find mountains and sea and desert. They did not have to travel far to make any kind of film.
When TV became popular in the 1960s, Hollywood started making films for television. Then in the 1970s they discovered people still went to cinema to see big expensive films. After twenty years they are still making films in Hollywood and people watch them all over the world.

Does this situation seem familiar to you? Your English is progressing well, the grammar is now familiar, the reading comprehension is no problem, you are communicating quite fluently, but: Listening is STILL a problem! First of all, remember that you are not alone. Listening comprehension is probably the most difficult job for almost all learners of English as a foreign language. The most important thing is to listen as often as possible. The first step is to find listening
resources. The Internet is really a useful tool for English students. You can download The RealPlayer from . The RealPlayer allows you to use the Internet like a radio station.
Once you have begun to listen on a regular basis, you might still be frustrated (懊恼) by limited understanding. What should you do?Here is some of the advice I give my students: Accept the fact that you are not going to understand everything.
Stay relaxed when you do not understand — even if you continue not to understand for a long time.
Do not translate what you hear into your native language.
Listen for the general idea of the conversation. Don’t concentrate on detail until you have understood the main ideas.
I remember the problems I had in understanding spoken German when I first went to Germany. In the beginning, when I didn’t understand a word, I insisted on translating it in my mind. This method usually resulted in confusion. Then, after the first six months, I discovered two very important facts. Firstly, translating creates a wall between the listener and the speaker. Secondly, most people repeat themselves constantly.
By remaining calm, I noticed that —even if I didn’t pay much attention, I could usually understand what the speaker had said.
55. The best way to improve our listening is to _____.
A. practise as much as possible
B. find as many listening resources as possible
C. use the Internet like a radio station
D. speak naturally and read as much as possible
56. Which of the following is a good habit when listening?
A. Try to understand everything.
B. Try to get the main ideas.
C. Pay much attention to details.
D. Translate each word in your mind.
57. Why did the writer mention his / her experience in Germany?
A. To prove the importance of translating.
B. To show the problems of speaking a foreign language.
C. To tell us the importance of staying calm.
D. To point out an ineffective method of listening.
58. The underlined part “a wall” in the last paragraph refers to “_____”.
A. a communication barrier (障碍)
B. culture shock
C. language understanding
D. a little misunderstandingC
This story took place a long time ago. But it has been repeated time and time again. Everyone is moved by the true story.
An old man was knocked down by a car and was taken to hospital. He was badly hurt, and during his few returns to consciousness(知觉), he repeatedly called for his son. None knew where his son was. A dirty letter was found in his pockets. The nurse learned that his son was a soldier in North Carolina.
The hospital called the Red Cross office to find the young man. The young soldier was rushed to the airport in time to catch the plane.
It was evening when the young soldier walked into the hospital. A nurse took him to the bedsides of the old man. “Your son is here,” she said to the old man. She had to repeat the words several times before the old man’s eyes opened. He dimly(模糊地) saw the young man and got great comfort. He reached out his hand. The soldier held the old man’s hand and offered words of hope. All through the night the young soldier sat beside the bed. The nurse offered to
watch instead of him for a while, he refused.
At dawn, the old man died. The nurse started to comfort him but the soldier asked her, “Who was that old man?” “He was your father,” she answered. “No, he wasn’t. I never saw him before. I knew right away there was a mistake, but I also knew he needed his son, and his son just wasn’t here. I realized I was needed. So I stayed.”

In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning. 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 communications is important.
In social life, time plays a very important part. In the U.S.A. guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the attention to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But it 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 differs in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings arise between people from cultures that treat time differently. Promptness (准时) is valued highly in American life, for example. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the U.S. no one would think of keeping a business friend waiting for an hour. It would be too impolite. A person who is 5 minutes late is expected to make a short apology. If he is less than 5 minutes late, he will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.62. “The same meaning is attached to telephone calls after 11:00p.m.”Here “attached” means _____.
A. taken
B. drawn
C. given
D. shown

agree to which of the following statements?
A. It is appropriate to send your invitation cards three or four days before a dinner party date in the U.S.A.
B. It may be appropriate to send your invitation cards to your guests three or four days before a dinner party date in some countries.
