英语综合教程1unit8Unit 8: The Human BodyIn Unit 8 of the comprehensive English tutorial, we will explore the fascinating topic of the human body. The human body is a complex and remarkable organism consisting of various systems that work in harmony to facilitate our everyday functions. We will delve into the main systems of the body, including the digestive, respiratory, circulatory, and nervous systems, and discuss how they function and interact with one another.To begin, the digestive system plays a crucial role in extracting essential nutrients from the food we consume. It consists of organs such as the mouth, esophagus, stomach, and intestines, which work together to breakdown and absorb the nutrients from the food. The process starts in the mouth, where food is broken down by enzymes and chewed before being swallowed. Then, it travels through the esophagus into the stomach, where stomach acid aidsin the further breakdown of food. The food then moves into the small intestine, where nutrients are absorbed into the bloodstream, and waste products move into the large intestine for elimination. Moving on to the respiratory system, it is responsible for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the body and the environment. The main organ of the respiratory system is the lungs, which carry out the crucial function of oxygenating the blood. When we inhale, air enters the nasal cavity and travels down the windpipe into the lungs. In the lungs, oxygen is absorbed into the bloodstream, and carbon dioxide, a waste product, is expelled when we exhale. The respiratory system's efficient functioning isvital for our survival and overall health.The circulatory system, also known as the cardiovascular system, is responsible for transporting oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and waste products throughout the body. It consists of the heart, blood vessels, and blood. The heart, a muscular organ located slightly to the left of the chest, pumps blood to all parts of the body through a network of blood vessels. The oxygenated blood is circulated to various organs and tissues, providing them with the necessary nutrients and oxygen. Simultaneously, waste products, such as carbon dioxide, are collected and transported back to the lungs for removal. The circulatory system's consistent flow of blood ensures the proper functioning of all body systems.Lastly, we will look at the nervous system, which coordinates and controls all body activities. The nervous system consists of the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. The brain acts as the control center, receiving and interpreting information from sensory organs and sending appropriate signals to different parts of the body. The spinal cord serves as a communication pathway between the brain and the peripheral nerves, which branch out to various body parts. The nervous system regulates important bodily processes like movement, sensation, and thinking, enabling us to respond and adapt to our environment.In conclusion, the human body is an intricate system of systems, each playing a vital role in sustaining life. The digestive system breaks down and absorbs nutrients, the respiratory system ensures oxygenation and carbon dioxide elimination, the circulatory system transports essential substances, and the nervous system coordinatesand controls body activities. Understanding the functions and interactions of these systems allows us to appreciate the amazing complexity of the human body and the importance of maintaining its health.。

新编大学英语第一册第8课-Final答案
Unit 8 Romantic StoriesUseful InformationAlthough ―romantic‖ stories can refer to narratives dealing with adventure, mystery, or the supernatural, more often they are about love. In this sense, romantic stories have been popular for many, many centuries; in fact, they are about as old as literature itself. In the West, romantic love was a key element in both of the ancient Greek epics The Iliad and The Odyssey, composed somewhere around the 8th or 9th Century B.C., as well as in many of the great plays and poems written by the 16th century British writer William Shakespeare. Romantic love has been a key element in countless poems throughout the world for many centuries. In Chinese literature, love has been important, too. It played an important role in Cao Xueqin’s Dream of the Red Mansion (红楼梦). China has also had its traditional love dramas, such as The Peony Pavilion (牡丹亭) and The Peach Blossom Fan (桃花扇). Thus romantic love is an eternal theme in literature of all types and love stories continue to make up a vast body of literature. Today many short stories are written with love as their focus; this is also true of movies and dramas watched on television. A typical romantic plot, whether in a novel, short story, play or movie, follows a rather simple plot line in which the following happens: boy meets girl; they fall in love; fate or other people cause obstacles in their romance; boy finally wins girl, often through virtuous acts.Although romantic stories sometimes are tragedies, as in Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet or China’s traditi onal Butterfly Lovers (梁山伯与祝英台), as readers, we most often enjoy reading about good people who find fulfillment in love. It is especially nice to be able to read about real people whose faithfulness in love is finally rewarded with happiness. Such was the case in the lives of Robert and Elizabeth Barrett Browning, the subjects of A True Love Story. Despite the obstacles of Elizabeth’s poor health and her father’s unnatural wish for his daughters never to marry, the young couple persevered in their love, married, and lived a happy life together. This is just as ―romantic‖ as any fictional story. In Detour to Romance, faithfulness and perseverance are also key factors. Harry has faith that his girlfriend May will meet him at the train station as she had agreed; thus he is willing to take a job there and look for her for three years before seeing her and finding out the misunderstanding that had caused her not to be there in the first place. In Appointment with Love, a mutual love of literature leads to an exchange of friendly letters between a young lady living in New York City and a soldier serving overseas during World War II. Her faithfulness in writing to him for thirteen months finally leads to feelings of love on his part. Yet, in order to meet her, he must pass a test of character; fortunately, he does.In all three of these short passages, the thoughtful reader can perceive the qualities of the characters that make them worthy of loving and being loved. Thus, the stories are well worth reading and discussing. Indeed, many of us can think of other stories from real life that have similarities. Therefore, these are stories that can be read and enjoyed by all.Part One Preparation2. What does love mean?Sample― Love is when a boy starts body-building exercises and brushes his teeth three times a day.―Love is when a girl looks at herself in the mirror all day and sighs.―Love is when someone changes from an illiterate into a poet.―If you want to stay with someone all the time, you are in love.―If someone appears in your dream everyday, he or she is your love.―Love is blind and unreasonable.―Love is a mixture of sweetness and bitterness.More relevant information for teachers:LOVE: affection, friendship, kindness, liking, inclination, attraction, feelings, possessiveness... WHOM WE LOVE: sweetheart, friend, honey, someone who cares, admirer, fan...WHAT IS LOVE?1) It is a promise to be with each other, cherishing each thought undertaken, remembering each little action done, no matter how insignificant it may be, every word spoken, no matter how silent it may be; it is a promise to respect each other’s individuality, giving the best of your own to your dear one selflessly, treating each other with a manner none less befitting than for royalty, all for a life time, may be more but not a moment less, all without any applied frame of mind or thought passing by.2) Love is the feeling in your heart when you see your loved one smile.3) Love is when you feel complete if your dear one manages to achieve something important in life.3. What contributes most to a long and happy marriage?Sample 1I think being in love is the most important factor. If you don’t love each other, you won’t havea long and hap py marriage even if you have a lot of money. I don’t think it is love when you are together only because of physical attraction. Similar sense of humor, similar interests and being able to talk to each other are not enough to make a happy marriage. They are only enough to make good friends.Sample 2I believe that abilities to go through bad times together are most important. Being in love is too abstract. You know you are in love today, but who knows what will happen tomorrow. Life is not always full of flowers and songs. There must be hardships, too. Only during bad times can you find out who really loves you.Sample 3I’d like to say something about money. I am not saying that money is the most important factor though. I think it is at least a very vital part of marriage. Life is realistic to a great extent. We need money to improve the quality of our life. I don’t think we can live a happy life when we have to face financial problems everyday. And in that case a marriage will be in great danger. More relevant information for teachers:Secrets of Happy Couples: The book Lucky in Love by Catherine Johnson reveals secrets of happy couples and how their marriages thrive. It's about happy marriages that have stood the test of time. Here's a sampling of what was learned from these couples:Sex: Happy couples strongly believe in, and steadfastly (踏实地) practice, monogamy (一夫一妻制).Money: Happy couples strive for equality in financial matters.Love: Partners have a great deal of faith in each other, even when they are concerned that the other may be wrong.Work: Both partners feel that the division of labor, and of authority, is fair.●What Keeps Spouses Attracted to One Another in Long Marriages?Trusting and confiding in (对……吐露秘密) one anotherRespecting and valuing each otherExpressing feelings to one anotherIntimacy and closenessMutual sexual satisfactionExpressions of understanding and supportEncouraging independence in one anotherExpression of contentment and appreciation●Characteristics of happy and satisfying marriages:Positivity: being affectionate, truly listening to each other, taking joy in each other's achievements and being playful.Empathy: understanding a person's perspective by putting oneself in his or her shoes.Commitment: investing in their own marriage and having a willingness to sacrifice some of their own preferences for the good of the relationship.Acceptance: feeling respected and shar ing common values.Mutual love and respect: perhaps the most important component. It is vital that husbands and wives continue to cultivate love and respect for each other throughout their lives.Part Two Reading-Centered ActivitiesI. Pre-ReadingSample 1Yes, I have pen pals. I think having pen pals will do us good. In the first place, it gives us a chance to practice our Chinese or English. In the second place, you can write about almost anything to your pen pal. Because pen pals are usually far away from you, you feel at ease to let them know everything that happens to you. You can tell them the secrets that you don’t want to share with your classmates or roommates.We usually write about our lives, especially about our studies. We also write about our dreams, such as what we want to do in the future. We also let each other know what is troubling us and ask each other for advice.Sample 2No, I don’t have any pen pals. I don’t think it’s necessary to have any. For one thing, it’s a waste of time to write to them. If you have any trouble, you may talk with your classmates. This saves more time than writing. For another, pen pals are far away from you, and they don’t share the same experiences with you. What you write in your letter may mean nothing to them. They won’t be as interested in the thing as you are. Also you have to wait for a long time for their reply.I am not quite sure as to what they write about in letters. Perhaps they write about things that they don’t want to or don’t dare to tell people around them. For example, when they secretly like someone or when they have done something bad, they feel comfortable sharing theirthoughts with people who are far away. Writing about something may help make them feel better.II. Passage ReadingWords, Phrases and Grammatical Points1. poetry (l. 3 & l. 24) poem (l. 8)A poem is a piece of writing, arranged in patterns of lines and of sounds, expressing some thoughts, feelings, or human experiences in imaginative language (诗，韵文).Poetry means poems collectively or in general (诗，诗歌). It also means a quality of beauty, grace, and deep feeling (诗意，诗一般的美).e.g. I) What he writes is not real poetry.I I) This dance has poetry in its movements.III) He started to write poetry/poems at a very young age.2. common (l. 25)When used as an adjective, the word ―common‖ has several meanings.1) found or happening often and in many places, usual 常见的，普遍的e.g. I) Foxes are common in Britain.II) Jackson is a common English name.2) of no special quality or rank, or the ordinary type 平凡的，一般的e.g. I) How will these changes affect the common man?II) In most people’s eyes, she was nothing more than a common cr iminal.3) belonging to or shared equally by two or more , united, joint 共同的，共有的e.g. I) We are working together for a common purpose.II) This useful feature is common to both these computers.The word ―common‖ can also be used as a noun. There is a useful phrase ―in common,‖ which means ―shared with someone else.‖e.g. I) I have nothing in common with Jane.II) My brother and I have a lot in common.课内阅读参考译文一个真实的爱情故事1 伊丽莎白·巴雷特·勃朗宁和罗伯特·勃朗宁都是英国诗人。

• The Milkmaid and Her Pail
• A milkmaid was going to the market. She carried her milk in a pail on her head. She dreamt about the eggs she would buy when she sold the milk. The eggs will hatch; then she will sell the chickens. With the money she earned, she would buy fine clothes for herself. “ I’ll buy a new dress, and when I go to the ball, all the young men will dance with me!” As she spoke she tossed her head back. The pail immediately fell off her head, and all the milk was spilt. The girl went back without anything. She felt very sad. "ah, my child," said her mother. “Do not count your chickens before they are hatched."

Unit 8 Text A翻译黑体字是课后填空题Fable of the Lazy Teenager 关于懒散少年的寓言故事Benjamin Stein 本杰明·斯坦1 One day last fall I ran out of file folders and went to the drugstore to buy more. I put a handful of folders on the counter and asked a teenage salesgirl how much they cost. I dont know she answered. But its 12 cents each.去年一个秋日我文件夹用完了便去杂货店买。
我拿了一大把文件夹搁在柜台上问一个十几岁的售货员多少钱。
“不知道”她回答说“反正单价12美分。
” 2 I counted the folders. Twenty-three at 12 cents each that makes 2.76 before taxI said. 我数了数文件夹。
“二十三个单价12美分总共2.76美金不含税”我说。
3 You did that in your head she asked in amazement. How can you do that “你心算的”她惊奇地问道“你怎么会算出来的” 4 Its magic I said. “靠魔力”我说。
5 Really she asked. “真的” 她问。
6No modestly educated adult can fail to be upset by such an experience. While our children seem better-natured than ever they are so ignorant -- and so ignorant of their ignorance -- that they frighten me. In a class of 60 seniors at a private college where I recently taught not one student could write a short paper without misspellings. Not one. 略受教育的成年人没有谁不会为这样的经历难过。

Reading Comprehension(1)The U.S. Department of Labor statistics ( 统计)indicates that there is an oversupply of college-trained workers and that this oversupply is increasing. Already there is an overabundance ( 过多) of teachers, engineers, physicists and other specialists. Yet colleges and graduate schools continue every year to turn out highly trained people to compete for jobs that aren' t there. The result is that graduates cannot enter the professions for which they were trained and must take temporary(临时的) jobs which do not require a college degree. These "temporary' jobs have a habit of becoming permanent(永久的).On the other hand, there is a tremendous need for skilled workers of all sorts: carpenters, electricians, mechanics, and TV repairmen. These people have more work than they can handle and their annual(每年的) incomes are often higher than those of college graduates. The old difference that white -collar workers make a better living than blue-collar workers no longer holds true.The reason for this situation is the traditional myth(神话)that a college degree is a passport to bright future. Parents begin telling their children this myth before they are out of school. Under this pressure the kids fall in line. Whether they want to go to college or not doesn' t matter. Everybody should go to college.One result of this emphasis on a college education is that many people go to college who do not belong there. Of the 60 percent of high school graduates who enter college, half of them do not graduate with their class. Many of them drop out within the first year. Some struggle on for two or three years and then give up.1. What do the U.S. Department of Labor statistics show? _______.A. Many college graduates find it increasingly hard to get suitable jobsB.There is an oversupply of workers and this oversupply is recently increasingC. Teachers, engineers, physicists and other specialists are extremely neededD. Colleges and graduate schools have become aware of the hard situation in the labourmarket2. By saying “These temporary jobs have a habit of becoming permanent.” The author means that ______.A. once college graduates take a temporary job, they soon get used to itB. college gradutes have the habit of taking temporary jobsC. many college graduates might never find jobs for which they were trained forD. college graduates are accustomed to taking permanentjobs3. The author implies in the passage that in the past_______.A. blue-collar workers worked harder than white-collar workersB. white-collar workers had little difficulty getting good jobsC. there were more white-collar workers than blue-collar workersD. colleges and graduate schools trained more skilled workers than now4. By saying that "many people go to college who do not belong there", the author meansthat____.A. many people do not have money support to go to collegeB. many people are not fit for college educationC. many college students drop out in the first yearD. many college students are bored with their education5. It can be concluded that_____.A. every young man and woman should go to college if possibleB. college education has become worse and worse in recent yearsC. people with a college education should receive a higher payD. fewer students should go to college but more be trained for skilled jobs(2)Not too long ago, anyone seventy years old was considered to have lived to a ripe(高龄的)old age. This is no longer true; the number of people in their seventies and eighties is steadily growing, and many of these people are still very active in society.Medical progress, coupled with a greater knowledge of personal care and hygiene( 卫生) is a major reason for this change. But the longer life-span(寿命), despite its obvious value, has given a new problem to today's world.Many older people can take care of themselves, but many others can't. More importantly, their children cannot take care of them in their homes as once the common practice. Nursing homes have been opened to provide such care.A nursing home is a long-care organization for people too sick or weak to care for themselves. These establishments are not hospitals, but residents may need medical attention at any time.Today there are about 22,000 nursing homes in America housing 1.2 million men and women. Eighty-five percent of the residents are more than 65 years old. They are fed and cared for, and limited activities are available for those who are able to move about. Except for reading and watching television, however, there is often little for residents to do. Visitors are the high point in their lives.Those elderly folk are not in the nursing homes for a short time. Most of them are not going to"get better" and return home.1. A nursing home is a place for______.A. people who are near their deathB. people over seventy years oldC. people who can’t takecare of themselvesD. people who don’t have children2. Men and women are living longer because_______.A. there are many more nursing homes availableB. doctors know more about illness and health careC. there is much more to do than there was 100 years agoD. people have a better knowledge of the world3. One of the most difficult tasks a nursing home faces is_______.A. providing tasty meals for so many peopleB. helping people get better, so they can return homeC. planning interesting, meaningful activities for the residentsD. the lack of money for daily costs4. It is no longer true that______.A. people of seventy year old are considered long-lived peopleB. the number of people in their 70s or 80s is increasingC. many old people are still active in societyD. the residents of the nursing home need medical care5. Most people in nursing homes are_______.A. lacking medical treatmentB. over 65 years oldC. too sick to be engaged in some kinds of physical activitiesD. not pleased to meet the visitors(3)Mr Enderby, the headmaster, stopped Anna one day at the school gate."Now, "he said, "I want you to tell me the truth, my dear. ""Naturally, "said Anna shortly, fearing something terrible had happened."I have had a most serious accusation(控告)made against you by Mrs Bond.""Mrs Bond?"said Anna, not understanding. Janet Bond was a quiet little mouse of a child. As far as Anna could remember, she had never had cause to speak an angry word to the girl."Mrs Bond, "went on Mr Enderby, "tells me that you scoldedher daughter yesterday afternoon.""Scolded?"cried Anna."I don't scold. At least not in school,'she added honestly."Mrs Bond's story, is that Janet was a little late back to school in the afternoon. She said that the child had to spend some time in the bathroom, which meant she set out from home a little late.""Just a minute, " said Anna, beginning to understand. "She did come late, very late. I had marked her absent, of course. Then she wandered in, when we' d started our paper-cutting, and I believe I said she was a nuisance(令人讨厌的). She didn' t appear to hear, and was certainly quite cheerful.""Ah, a nuisance. "Mr Enderby jumped on the word. You’re sure you only said a nuisance?""I may not even have said that, "Anna replied. "It was no more than slight displeasure that I felt ----and I certainly didn't scold."“Mrs Bond said that you called her child a blasted(该死的)nuisance . Is that true?"“Indeed it isn't, "said Anna. “The child-or the mother--has made it up!"Mr Enderby was satisfied with Anna's explanation.“Just as I thought, my dear, but of course I had to make sure."1. When Mr Enderby stopped Anna at the school gate, he______.A.made her feel worried at firstB.thought she had done something wrongC.had made up his mind to scold herD.wanted to tell her a true story2. During this meeting, Anna _____.A.did not understand Mrs BondB.heard Mrs Bond's storyC.apologized for having scolded Mrs Bond's childD.said that she respected Mrs Bond3. Mr Enderby thought that_______.A.Janet had scolded AnnaB.Anna had scolded JanetC.Mrs Bond had not told the truthD.Anna would not tell the truth4. To call a child a nuisance is_______.A.notconsideredseriousby the teacherB.considered a serious accusationC.obviously upsetting for the childD.a sign of great anger5.Mr Enderby considered Anna a ______ teacher.A. carelessB. cruelC. badD. trusted(4)In a room where four men were seated at a large table. One of them rose and walked round to shake hands with me. He introduced his colleagues and then indicated a chair, in which I seated myself. After asking me briefly about my place of birth and my Royal Air Force experience, they began to question me carefully on telecommunications. Now I was confident, at ease with a familiar subject. They questioned me thoroughly, but 1 was relaxed now. The years of study and work began to pay off, and I knew I was doing well. I was even enjoying it. When it was over, Mr Symonds, the man who had welcomed me, leaned back in hischair and said : "Well, now, my colleagues and I are completely satisfied with your replies and we feel sure that, in terms of qualifications, ability, and experience, you are well suited to the post we have in mind. But we are faced with a certain difficulty. If we employ you, it means we must place you in a position of authority(权威)over a number of our English employees.

Before you read it, let me tell you something about itsauthor, Stephen Hawking.Hawking is perhaps the most well-known scientist since Einstein. Like Einstein his work tackles the big questions, questions such as How did the universe begin? Why is the universe the way it is? and How will it end? He is now working on what is sometimes known as the 'theory of everything.' Among otherthings, this promises to explain what caused the Big Bang that started the universe.But it is not simply the power of Hawking's mind that has led to his fame. For what many people find most striking about him is the contrast between the strength of his mind and the weakness of his body. For for many years Hawking has suffered from an illness that has left him unable to move and tospeak normally.Born in England in 1942, Hawking had a normal childhood, and it was not until he was a student at university that his illness started to affect him. Hospital tests showed he was suffering from a disease that weakens control over the muscles. The disease gets worse with time and there is no known cure. But Hawking did not lose heart. As he says, "although there was a cloud hanging over my future, I found, to my surprise, that I was enjoying life more than before. I began to make progress with my research, and I got engaged to a girl called Jane Wilde. That engagement changed my life. It gave me something to live for."Hawking started research at Cambridge and went on to hold the same post that another greatscientist, Newton, once held. Over the years his condition has worsened, but even when he finally lost the ability to speak, he managed to get round the problem. He now uses a computer that enables him to select words which are then turned into speech. "The only trouble," the English scientist says, "is that it gives me an American accent!"www.kh da w.co m- 102 - Appendix IPart II Text AText Organization1.Parts Paragraphs Main IdeasPart OneParas 1-3To make informed decisions about change, the public needs a basic understanding of science.Part Two Paras 4-6 What can be done to educate the public about science.Part ThreePara 7With an informed public, human civilization will survive.2. 1) The importance of the teaching of science in schools.2) The role mass media can play, especially what television can do.Vocabularyinquired in terms of tend precise graspedsufficientconvey in two mindsWinning the match today has ensured their team a place in the Cup Final.

Computers, for example, have provided some with the comfort of working from home while at the same time throwing others out of work as their jobs are automated. In the future changes are likely to be even much greater as science reaches out to shape life itself. New organisms (有机体) are already being engineered. New genetically modified crops promise benefits from higher yields and less use of harmfulchemicals.But once again we cannot be sure that science will only change our lives for the better. Thepossibility remains that some modern Frankenstein may carelessly or deliberately let loose a new andwww.kh da w.c o m- 106- Appendix Idangerous form of life.

However, when they got to America, they realized that the dreamwasn't going to happen, that the streets were not paved with gold and they had to struggle to make a living. So the dream became the chance for their childrento succeed. Through?Through hard work and giving their kids an education. They thought that through education their children would have the choice of doing what they wanted. That basically life could be what you made it.And do you believe that?Well, America does give some people the opportunity to be what they want to be. Why just some people? Isn't the American Dream an idea everyone can believe in? Yes, but only because our government wants us to believe it. You could say thatthe American Dream has been used to support the capitalist system. It keeps most of the population working and spending their money.How?www.kh da w.co mAppendix I107-Dr. Hertz: Interviewer: Dr. Hertz:Well, all the time TV shows that the dream of a good life can be reached through money. Advertising tells you to buy and buy so that finally you will get there and the dream will come true.So you're saying it's the dream that makes the system work? Yes, because people become gripped by the need to move up in the world, they have to reach the top.They are never satisfied with what they have. The American Dream is at the end of the rainbow. It's not simply about having enough money to buy the things you need. It's about reaching the level of all the other people who have the money to buy more than you can afford.

Elizabeth wrote: “…You cannot guess what you are to me---you cannot---it is not possible… it is something to me between dream and miracle.” Robert answered that he had never kept a journal before, but he had started one now. In it he wrote the date of every visit with her and how long it lasted. He even wrote the number of minutes they had been together and said that they added up to two full days in length.

• The Fox and theቤተ መጻሕፍቲ ባይዱCrow • One day a crow stood on a branch near her nest and felt
in a pail on her head. She dreamt about the eggs she would buy when she sold the milk. The eggs will hatch; then she will sell the chickens. With the money she earned, she would buy fine clothes for herself. “ I’ll buy a new dress, and when I go to the ball, all the young men will dance with me!” As she spoke she tossed her head back. The pail immediately fell off her head, and all the milk was spilt. The girl went back without anything. She felt very sad. "ah, my child," said her mother. “Do not count your chickens before they are hatched."

Reading Comprehension(1)The U.S. Department of Labor statistics ( 统计)indicates that there is an oversupply of college-trained workers and that this oversupply is increasing. Already there is an overabundance ( 过多) of teachers, engineers, physicists and other specialists. Yet colleges and graduate schools continue every year to turn out highly trained people to compete for jobs that aren' t there. The result is that graduates cannot enter the professions for which they were trained and must take temporary(临时的) jobs which do not require a college degree. These "temporary' jobs have a habit of becoming permanent(永久的).On the other hand, there is a tremendous need for skilled workers of all sorts: carpenters, electricians, mechanics, and TV repairmen. These people have more work than they can handle and their annual(每年的) incomes are often higher than those of college graduates. The old difference that white -collar workers make a better living than blue-collar workers no longer holds true.The reason for this situation is the traditional myth(神话)that a college degree is a passport to bright future. Parents begin telling their children this myth before they are out of school. Under this pressure the kids fall in line. Whether they want to go to college or not doesn' t matter. Everybody should go to college.One result of this emphasis on a college education is that many people go to college who do not belong there. Of the 60 percent of high school graduates who enter college, half of them do not graduate with their class. Many of them drop out within the first year. Some struggle on for two or three years and then give up.1. What do the U.S. Department of Labor statistics show? _______.A. Many college graduates find it increasingly hard to get suitable jobsB.There is an oversupply of workers and this oversupply is recently increasingC. Teachers, engineers, physicists and other specialists are extremely neededD. Colleges and graduate schools have become aware of the hard situation in the labourmarket2. By saying “These temporary jobs have a habit of becoming permanent.” The author means that ______.A. once college graduates take a temporary job, they soon get used to itB. college gradutes have the habit of taking temporary jobsC. many college graduates might never find jobs for which they were trained forD. college graduates are accustomed to taking permanent jobs3. The author implies in the passage that in the past_______.A. blue-collar workers worked harder than white-collar workersB. white-collar workers had little difficulty getting good jobsC. there were more white-collar workers than blue-collar workersD. colleges and graduate schools trained more skilled workers than now4. By saying that "many people go to college who do not belong there", the author meansthat____.A. many people do not have money support to go to collegeB. many people are not fit for college educationC. many college students drop out in the first yearD. many college students are bored with their education5. It can be concluded that_____.A. every young man and woman should go to college if possibleB. college education has become worse and worse in recent yearsC. people with a college education should receive a higher payD. fewer students should go to college but more be trained for skilled jobs(2)Not too long ago, anyone seventy years old was considered to have lived to a ripe(高龄的)old age. This is no longer true; the number of people in their seventies and eighties is steadily growing, and many of these people are still very active in society.Medical progress, coupled with a greater knowledge of personal care and hygiene( 卫生) is a major reason for this change. But the longer life-span(寿命), despite its obvious value, has given a new problem to today's world.Many older people can take care of themselves, but many others can't. More importantly, their children cannot take care of them in their homes as once the common practice. Nursing homes have been opened to provide such care.A nursing home is a long-care organization for people too sick or weak to care for themselves. These establishments are not hospitals, but residents may need medical attention at any time.Today there are about 22,000 nursing homes in America housing 1.2 million men and women. Eighty-five percent of the residents are more than 65 years old. They are fed and cared for, and limited activities are available for those who are able to move about. Except for reading and watching television, however, there is often little for residents to do. Visitors are the high point in their lives.Those elderly folk are not in the nursing homes for a short time. Most of them are not going to"get better" and return home.1. A nursing home is a place for______.A. people who are near their deathB. people over seventy years oldC. people who can’t takecare of themselvesD. people who don’t have children2. Men and women are living longer because_______.A. there are many more nursing homes availableB. doctors know more about illness and health careC. there is much more to do than there was 100 years agoD. people have a better knowledge of the world3. One of the most difficult tasks a nursing home faces is_______.A. providing tasty meals for so many peopleB. helping people get better, so they can return homeC. planning interesting, meaningful activities for the residentsD. the lack of money for daily costs4. It is no longer true that______.A. people of seventy year old are considered long-lived peopleB. the number of people in their 70s or 80s is increasingC. many old people are still active in societyD. the residents of the nursing home need medical care5. Most people in nursing homes are_______.A. lacking medical treatmentB. over 65 years oldC. too sick to be engaged in some kinds of physical activitiesD. not pleased to meet the visitors(3)Mr Enderby, the headmaster, stopped Anna one day at the school gate."Now, "he said, "I want you to tell me the truth, my dear. ""Naturally, "said Anna shortly, fearing something terrible had happened."I have had a most serious accusation(控告)made against you by Mrs Bond.""Mrs Bond?"said Anna, not understanding. Janet Bond was a quiet little mouse of a child. As far as Anna could remember, she had never had cause to speak an angry word to the girl."Mrs Bond, "went on Mr Enderby, "tells me that you scolded her daughter yesterday afternoon.""Scolded?"cried Anna."I don't scold. At least not in school,'she added honestly."Mrs Bond's story, is that Janet was a little late back to school in the afternoon. She said that the child had to spend some time in the bathroom, which meant she set out from home a little late.""Just a minute, " said Anna, beginning to understand. "She did come late, very late. I had marked her absent, of course. Then she wandered in, when we' d started our paper-cutting, and I believe I said she was a nuisance(令人讨厌的). She didn' t appear to hear, and was certainly quite cheerful.""Ah, a nuisance. "Mr Enderby jumped on the word. You’re sure you only said a nuisance?""I may not even have said that, "Anna replied. "It was no more than slight displeasure that I felt ----and I certainly didn't scold."“Mrs Bond said that you called her child a blasted(该死的)nuisance . Is that true?"“Indeed it isn't, "said Anna. “The child-or the mother--has made it up!"Mr Enderby was satisfied with Anna's explanation.“Just as I thought, my dear, but of course I had to make sure."1. When Mr Enderby stopped Anna at the school gate, he______.A.made her feel worried at firstB.thought she had done something wrongC.had made up his mind to scold herD.wanted to tell her a true story2. During this meeting, Anna _____.A.did not understand Mrs BondB.heard Mrs Bond's storyC.apologized for having scolded Mrs Bond's childD.said that she respected Mrs Bond3. Mr Enderby thought that_______.A.Janet had scolded AnnaB.Anna had scolded JanetC.Mrs Bond had not told the truthD.Anna would not tell the truth4. To call a child a nuisance is_______.A.notconsideredseriousby the teacherB.considered a serious accusationC.obviously upsetting for the childD.a sign of great anger5.Mr Enderby considered Anna a ______ teacher.A. carelessB. cruelC. badD. trusted(4)In a room where four men were seated at a large table. One of them rose and walked round to shake hands with me. He introduced his colleagues and then indicated a chair, in which I seated myself. After asking me briefly about my place of birth and my Royal Air Force experience, they began to question me carefully on telecommunications. Now I was confident, at ease with a familiar subject. They questioned me thoroughly, but 1 was relaxed now. The years of study and work began to pay off, and I knew I was doing well. I was even enjoying it. When it was over, Mr Symonds, the man who had welcomed me, leaned back in his chair and said : "Well, now, my colleagues and I are completely satisfied with your replies and we feel sure that, in terms of qualifications, ability, and experience, you are well suited to the post we have in mind. But we are faced with a certain difficulty. If we employ you, it means we must place you in a position of authority(权威)over a number of our English employees. Many of them have been with us for a long time, and we feel sure that your appointment wouldupset good relations within the firm. We could not offer you the post without the responsibility, and we would not ask you to accept one or two other positions of a different type. They exist, but they are not suitable for someone like you. So, I'm afraid, we will not be able to offer you the job."I felt suddenly weak, and I was quite unable to think. Yet somehow I managed to leave that office, realizing that I had either forgotten or completely ignored during the six exciting years of the war---my own black skin.1. From this passage we can see the author was______.A.a man looking for a jobB. a man at a scientific meetingC.Mr Symonds' friendD.Mr Symonds' employee2. What happened when the author went into the interview room ?______.A.Hewastold to move a chair close the lableB.He shook hands with everybodyC.

Mr Symonds said he could not offer the author the post they had in mind. Which of thefollowing was the excuse he gave? ______.A. They had enough English employeesB.

The real reason why the author was not offered the job was probably that ________.A. Mr Symonds didn't really believe his wordsB. the relations between him and the other employees were not goodC.
