While any of these statements might be true, they are practically impossible to prove scientifically. Still, I was struck by a report which conc luded that today’s children are significantly more anxious than children in the 1950s. in fact, the analysis showed, normal children ages 9 to 17 exhibit a higher level of anxiety today than children who were treated for mental illness 50 yearsago.Why ar e America’s kids so stressed? The report cites two main causes: increasing physical isolation---brought on by high divorce rates and less involvement in community, among other things--- and a growing perception that the world is a more dangerous place.Giv en that we can’t turn the clock hack, adults can still do plenty to help the next generation cope.At the top of the list is nurturing a better appreciation of the limits of individualism. No child is an island. Strengthening social ties helps build communities and protect individuals against stress.To help kids build stronger connections with others, you can pull the plug on TVs and computers. Your family will thank you later. They will have more time for face-to-face relationships, and they will get more sleep.Limit the amount of virtual violence your children are exposed to. It’s not just video games and movies; children see a lot of murder and crime on the local news.Keep your expectations for your children reasonable. Many highly successful people never attended Harvard or Yale.Make exercise part of your daily routine. It will help you cope with your own anxieties and provide a good model for your kids. Sometimes anxiety is unavoidabl e. But it doesn’t have to ruin your life.1. The author thinks that the conclusions of any research about people’s state of mind are __________.A) surprising B) confusing C) illogical D) questionable2. What does the author mean when he says, “we can’t turn the clock back” (Line 1, Para. 3)?A) It’s impossible to slow d own the pace of change.B) The social reality children are facing cannot be changed.C) Lessons leaned from the past should not be forgotten.D) It’s impossible to forget the past.3. According to an analysis, compared with normal children today, children treated as mentally ill50 years ago _____________.A) were less isolated physically.B) were probably less self-centeredC) probably suffered less from anxietyD) were considered less individualistic4. The first and most important thing parents should do to help their children is ________.A) to provide them with a safer environmentB) to lower their expectations for them.C) to get them more involved sociallyD) to set a good model for them to follow.5. What conclusion can be drawn from the passage?A) Anxiety, though unavoidable, can be coped with.B) Children’s anxiety has been enormously exaggerated. .C) Children’s anxiety can be eliminated with more parental care.D) Anxiety, if properly controlled, may help children become mature. .It is easier to negotiate initial salary requirement because once you are inside, the organizational constraints influence wage increases. One thing, however, is certain: your chances of getting the raise you feel you deserve are less if you don’t at least ask for it. Men tend to ask for more, and they get more, and this holds true with other resources, not just pay increases.Consider Beth’s story:I did not get what I wanted when I did not ask for it. We had cubicle offices and window offices. I sat in the cubicles with several make colleagues. One by one they were moved into window offices, while I remained in the cubicles. Several males who were hired after me alsowent to offices. One in particular told me he was next in line for an office and that it had been part of his negotiations for the job. I guess they thought me content to stay in the cubicles since I did not voice my opinion either way.It would be nice i f we all received automatic pay increases equal to our merit, but “nice” isn’t a quality attributed to mo st organizations. If you feel you deserve a significant raise in pay, you’ll probably have to ask for it.Performance is your best bargaining chip when you are seeking a raise. You must be able to demonstrate that you deserve a raise. Timing is also a good bargaining chip. If you can give your boss something he or she needs (a new client or a sizable contract, for example) just before merit pay decisions are being made, you are more likely to get the raise you want.Use information as a bargaining chip too. Find out what you are worth on the open market. What will someone else pay for your services?Go into the negotiations prepared to place your chips on the table at the appropriate time and prepared to use communication style to guide the direction of the interaction.1. According to the passage, before taking a job, a person should _________________.A) demonstrate his capabilityB) give his boss a good impressionC) ask for as much money as he canD) ask for the salary he hopes to get2. What can be infer red from Beth’s story?A) Prejudice against women still exists in some organizations.B) If people want what they deserve, they have to ask for it.C) People should not be content with what they have got.D) People should be careful when negotiating for a job.3. We can learn from the passage that _______________.A) unfairness exists in salary increasesB) most people are overworked and underpaidC) one should avoid overstating one’s performance.D) most organizations give their staff automatic pay raises4. To get a pay raise, a person should _________.A) advertise himself on the job marketB) persuade his boss to sign a long-term contractC) try to get inside information about the organizationD) do something to impress his boss just before merit pay decisions.5. To be successful in negotiations, one must __________.A) meet his boss at the appropriate timeB) arrive at the negotiation table punctuallyC) be good at influencing the outcome of the interactionD) be familiar with what the boss likes and dislikesV ClozeIt’s an annual back-to-school routine.

It was pointed out to her that the pavement was the place for pedestrians, but she replied: 'I'm going 5to walk where I like. We've got liberty now.' It did not occur to the dear old lady that if liberty entitled the pedestrian towalk down the middle of the road, then the end of such libertywould be universal chaos. Everybody would be getting ineverybody else's way and nobody would get anywhere.10 Individual liberty would have become social anarchy.There is a danger of the world getting liberty-drunk in these days like the old lady with the basket, and it is just as well to remind ourselves of what the rule of the road means. It meansthat in order that the liberties of all may be preserved, the 15liberties of everybody must be curtailed. When the policeman, say, at Piccadilly Circus steps into the middle of the road andputs out his hand, he is the symbol not of tyranny, but of liberty.You may not think so. You may, being in a hurry, and seeing your car pulled up by this insolence of office, feel that your 20liberty has been outraged. How dare this fellow interfere with your free use of the public highway? Then, if you are a reasonable person, you will reflect that if he did not interfere withyou, he would interfere with no one, and the result would be thatPiccadilly Circus would be a maelstrom that you would never 25cross at all. You have submitted to a curtailment of private libertyin order that you may enjoy a social order which makes your liberty a reality.Liberty is not a personal affair only, but a socialcontract. It is an accommodation of interests.In matters which do30not touch anybody else's liberty, of course, I may be as free as I like. If I choose to go down the road in a dressing-gown who shall say me nay? You have liberty to laugh at me, but I have liberty to be indifferent to you. And if I have a fancy for dyeingmy hair, or waxing my moustache (which heaven forbid), or 35wearing an overcoat and sandals, or going to bed late or getting up early, I shall follow my fancy and ask no man's permission. Ishall not inquire of you whether I may eat mustard with my mutton. And you will not ask me whether you may follow this religion or that, whether you may prefer Ella Wheeler Wilcoxto40 Wordsworth, or champagne to shandy.In all these and a thousand other details you and I please ourselves and ask no one's leave. We have a whole kingdom in which we rule alone, can do what we choose, be wise orridiculous, harsh or easy, conventional or odd. But directly we 45step out of that kingdom, our personal liberty of action becomes qualified by other people's liberty. I might like to practice on the trombone from midnight till three in the morning. If I went on tothe top of Everest to do it, I could please myself, but if I do it inmy bedroom my family will object, and if I do it out in the streets50the neighbors will remind me that my liberty to blow the trombone must not interfere with their liberty to sleep in quiet.There are a lot of people in the world, and I have toaccommodate my liberty to their liberties.We are all liable to forget this, and unfortunately we are much 55more conscious of the imperfections of others in this respect than of our own. A reasonable consideration for the rights or feelings of others is the foundation of social conduct.It is in the small matters of conduct, in the observance ofthe rule of the road, that we pass judgment upon ourselves, and 60declare that we are civilized or uncivilized. The great moments of heroism and sacrifice are rare. It is the little habits of commonplace intercourse that make up the great sum of life and sweeten or make bitter the journey.1. The author might have stated his …rule of the road? asA. do not walk in the middle of the roadB. follow the orders of policemenC. do not behave inconsiderately in publicD. do what you like in privateE. liberty is more important than anarchy2.

(line 46) most nearly meansA. accreditedB. improvedC. limitedD. stymiedE. educated7. The author assumes that he may be as free as he likes inA. all matters of dress and foodB. any situation which does not interfere with the liberty of othersC. anything that is not against the lawD. his own homeE. public places as long as no one sees him8.

But the essay published this week by Steve Jobs, the boss of Apple, on his firm’s website under the unassuming title “Thoughts on Music”has nonetheless provoked a vigorous debate about the future of digital music,which Apple dominates with its iPod music-player and iTunes music-store. At issue is “digital rights management” (DRM)—the technology guarding downloaded music against theft. Since there is no common standard for DRM, it also has the side-effect that songs purchased for one type of music-player may not work on another. Apple?s DRM system, called FairPlay, is the most widespread. So it came as a surprise when Mr. Jobs called for DRM for digital music to be abolished.B.This is a change of tack for Apple. It has come under fire from European regulators who claim that its refusal to license FairPlay to other firms has “locked in”customers. Since music from the iTunes store cannot be played on non-iPod music-players (at least not without a lot offiddling), any iTunes buyer will be deterred from switching to a device made by a rival firm, such as Sony or Microsoft. When French lawmakers drafted a bill last year compelling Apple to open up FairPlay to rivals, the company warned of “state-sponsored piracy”. Only DRM, it implied, could keep the pirates at bay.C.This week Mr. Jobs gave another explanation for his former defence of DRM: the record companies made him do it. They would make their music available to the iTunes store only if Apple agreed to protect it using DRM. They can still withdraw their catalogues if the DRM system is compromised. Apple cannot license FairPlay to others, says Mr Jobs, because it would depend on them to produce security fixes promptly. All DRM does is restrict consumer choice and provide a barrier to entry, says Mr Jobs; without it there would be far more stores and players, andfar more innovation. So, he suggests, why not do away with DRM and sell music unprotected? “This is clearly the best alternative for consumers,” he declares, “and Apple would embrace it in a heartbeat.”D.Why the sudden change of heart? Mr Jobs seems chiefly concerned with getting Europe’s regulators off his back. Rather than complaining to Apple about its use of DRM, he suggests, “those unhappy with the current situation should redirect their energies towards persuading the music companies to sell their music DRM-free.” Two and a half of the four big record companies, he helpfully points out, are European-owned. Mr Jobs also hopes to paint himself as a consumer champion. Apple resents accusations that it has become the Microsoft of digital music.E.Apple can afford to embrace open competition in music players and online stores. Consumers would gravitate to the best player and the best store, and at the moment that still means Apple’s. Mr Jobs is evidently unfazed by rivals to the i Pod. Since only 3% of the music in a typical iTunes library is protected, most of it can already be used on other players today, he notes. (And even the protected tracks can be burned onto a CD and then re-ripped.) So Apple?s dominance evidently depends far more on branding and ease of use than DRM-related “lock in”.F.The music giants are trying DRM-free downloads. Lots of smaller labels already sell music that way. Having seen which way the wind is blowing, Mr Jobs now wants to be seen not as DRM’s defender, but as a consumer champion who helped in itsdownfall. Woul dn?t it lead to a surge in piracy? No, because most music is still sold unprotected on CDs, people wishing to steal music already can do so. Indeed, scrapping DRM would probably increase online-music sales by reducing confusion and incompatibility. With the leading online store, Apple would benefit most. Mr Jobs?s argument, in short, is transparently self-serving. It also happens to be right.Questions 1-7Do the following statemets reflect the claims of the writer in Reading Passage 2?Write your answer in Boxes 1-7 on your answer sheet.TRUE if the statement reflets the claims of the writerFALSE if the statement contradicts the claims of the writerNOT GIVEN if it is impossbile to say what the writer thinks about this1. Apple enjoys a controlling position in digital music market with its iPod music-player and iTunes music-store.2. DRM is a government decree issued with a purpose to protect downloaded music from theft by consumers.3.

All music can be easily played on non-iPod music devices from Sony or Microsoft without too much fiddling.6. Apple depends far more on DRM rather than branding for its dominance of the digital music devices.7.

Which of the following statements is TRUE if DRM was scapped?A. Sony would gain the most profit.B. More customers would be “locked in”.C. A sudden increase in piracy would occur.D.

The children will 1ove them．It’s…’’“I know，”Kate interrupted gently．“It’s nice to have something alive in the room.” But in the little house，the two goldfish had stopped their circling.

A problem with a modern commercial Christmas, however, is that buying gifts can become a chore. Often it is a stress ridden chore in the dying days before Christmas Day, as everything gets left to the last minutes.Why not make this next Christmas a time to make the choosing of individual gifts a pleasure for yourself, and for the recipient? Often in the last minute haste to buy gifts in time for Christmas Day, people become detached from not only the purpose, but the person to whom they are giving. Bought hastily in a crowed stress filled store, scarcely a thought may pass for the individual on the receiving end, however close they may be to you.Most of the year, if not all, can be filled with work, commuting rushing here and there, stress and self focus. How about time and attention for those who really matter in your life, whether spouse, offspring, other relative, friend or colleagues? The choosing of a gift and presentation of it, can be a silent way of giving each of them special attention, and then culminating with their pleasure at the receipt of the gift.Behind every good present there is a person who worked hard to make the best choice. The secret to buying the perfect gift is to think about his or her hobbies, to his or her vacation planetc. ,it means you have really studied that person and you bought the precisely for them, for that occasion; in this case, Christmas.Friendship and caring are themselves a gift, so you see that if you put some real selfless effort into choosing gifts, the value of the gifts is magnified. That is something which will shine through the wrapping paper, and in the moment of giving the pleasure that you feel in making the gesture will radiate in the warmth of your expression. The choosing and the giving of a gift are inseparable.( )51、What makes buying gifts for Christmas become a chore？A The pressure of the holidayB The lack of time for shoppingC The increasing variety of giftsD The commercialization of the holiday( )52、When buying gifts in the last minute, people tend to be concerned about________.A choosing individual gifts for the recipientsB what is the more suitable gifts for a holidayC getting a gift for everyoneD to whom they send the gift( )53、A perfect gift differs from other gifts in their_______.A usefulnessB meaningfulnessC exquisitenessD artistry( )54、The “gesture” (Line 4, Para. 5) most probably refers to________.A giving the gift to the recipientB choosing a gift with selfless effortC wrapping the gift before sending itD showing your concern to the recipient( )55、In this passage, the author is most likely to point out_______.A the best way of choosing and giving the right giftsB the Importance of thoughtfulness in choosing a giftC that one’s love for others can best be demonstrated by giftsD that offering a gift benefits both the giver and the recipientVII、Choose the best answer for the underlined part.(10 points, 2 points for each)( )56、A problem with a modern commercial Christmas, however, is that buying gifts can be a chore.A a horrible thingB a dangerous thingC a fervent thingD s noisome thing( )57、People become detached from not only the purpose, but the person to whom they are giving.A become isolated fromB become distinguished fromC don’t care more aboutD don’t give away( )58、How about time and attention for those who really matter in your lift, whether spouse,offspring, other relatives, friends or colleague.A childrenB daughtersC partnersD playmates( )59、Some might say it should be a pleasure for the giver and the recipient.A recipeB receiverC resumeD revulsion( )60、The choosing and the giving of a gift are inseparable.A inter-relatedB unrelatedC irrelevantD irreversibleVIII、Answer the following question in English within 80——100 words.
