补充阅读材料Running your small business requires good staff. Once you find them, you don’t want to let them go elsewhere.During an employee’s time with a company, there are a number of forces that influence his or her behavior. I like to refer to them as “push” and “pull”. You’re either pushing an employee towards the door, or pulling them deeper into your organization.Suppose that you’ve made a good hire and you want to keep the employees, the trick is to recognize individual needs of employees and satisfy those needs, within reason, on order to keep pulling them away from the door. Even if you can’t pull them away from the door, at least don’t do things to push them out the door.Recognize that some employees will lose interest and need something fresh to keep their interest. If you can’t continually provide challenges, opportunities for promotion and other interesting and rewarding opportunities, then you’ll have some employees leave through no fault of your own,The important thing is to identify your key employees and make certain they are being treated well. Communicate with them on a regular basis to make certain that you understand what makes them behave in a particular way, and be aware of concerns they may have about job satisfaction.1. The autho r uses the word “push” (Para.2) to mean the force that ___________.A. makes employees satisfied with their workB. drives employees to work more efficientlyC. causes employees to leave their companyD. keep employees to remain in their company2. To keep your employees, you are advised to ___________.A. recognize and meet their needsB. identify and overcome their faultsC. offer them a salary as high as possibleD. provide them with a better working condition3. According to the passage, when is it possible for some employees to lose interest?A. They have no rewarding opportunities.B. The company is located in a remote area.C. They make a mistake in their workD. The company is not big enough for development4. How should you deal with your key employees according to the last paragraph?A. Make them behave well.B. Meet with them every day.C. Pay regular visits to their familyD. Make sure they are well-treated.5. The passage is mainly about____________.A. how to keep your employeesB. the importance of key employeesC. how to challenge your employeesD. the difference between “push” and “pull”答案: C A A D A。

A Fable for TomorrowThere was once a town in the heart of America where all life seemed to live in harmony with its surroundings. The town lay in the midest of a checkerboard(西洋跳棋盘）of prosperous （繁盛的）farms, with fields of grain and hillsides of orchards（围起来的果园）.Along the roads, laurel, viburnum and alder, great ferns and wildflowers delighted the traveler`s eyes through much of the year. Even in winter the roadsides were places of beauty, where countless birds came to feed on the berries and on the seed heads of dried weeds（杂草）rising above the snow. The countryside was, in fact, famous for the abundance and variety of its bird life, and when the flood of migrants was pouring in spring and fall people traveled from great distances to observe them. Others came to fish the streams, which flowed clear and cold out of the hills and contained shady pools where trout（鳟鱼）lay. So it had been from the days many years ago when the first settlers raised their houses, sank their wells, and built their barns.Then the strange blight（枯萎，荒芜）crept（匍匐，爬）over（偷偷袭近）the area and everything began to change. Some evil spell（咒语）had settled on the community: mysterious maladies(疾病) swept the flocks of chickens; the cattle and sheep sickened and died. Everywhere was a shadow of death. The farmers spoke of much illness among their families. In the town the doctors had become more and more puzzled by new kinds of sickness appearing among their patients. There had been several sudden and unexplained deaths, not only among adults but even among children, who would be stricken suddenly while at play and die within a few hours.There was a strange stillness. The birds, for example, where had they gone? Many people spoke of them, puzzled and disturbed. The feeding stations in the backyards were deserted. The few birds seen anywhere were moribund（垂死的）; they trembled violently and could not fly. It was a spring without voices. On the mornings that had once throbbed with the dawn chorus of robins, catbirds（猫雀）, doves鸽, jays鸟, wrens鹪鹩, and scores of other bird voices there was now no sound; only silence lay over the fields and woods and marsh.On the farms the hens brooded孵蛋, but no chicks hatched. The farmers complained that they were unable to raise any pigs --the litters were small and the young survived only a few days. The apple trees were coming into bloom but no bees droned嗡嗡among the blossoms, so there was no pollination (授粉) and there would be no fruit.The roadsides, once so attractive, were now lined with browned and withered枯萎vegetation as though swept by fire. There, too, were silent, deserted by all living things. Even the streams were now lifeless. Anglers no longer visited them, for all the fish had died.In the gutters沟under the eaves屋檐and between the shingles小圆石of the roofs, a white granular颗粒状powder still showed a few patches; some weeks before it had fallen like snow upon the roofs and the lawns, the fields and streams.No witchcraft, no enemy action had silenced the rebirth of new life in this stricken world. The people had done it themselves.Climate talks remain alive, but so do many obstaclesWashington Post Staff Writer Sunday, November 29, 2009By offering concrete emission targets last week, the United States and China have resuscitated global climate talks that were headed toward an impasse. But the details that have yet to be resolved -- including the money that industrialized countries would offer poorer ones as part of an agreement -- suggest a political deal remains a heavy lift for the 192 countries set to convene in Copenhagen in little more than a week.Negotiators aim to produce a blueprint for a legally binding international treaty that would replace the Kyoto Protocol when it expires in 2012 and govern individual countries' greenhouse gas emissions.Although the proposals from the world's two biggest greenhouse-gas emitters have boosted the prospects for a deal, they demonstrate something else as well: No one wants to shoulder the blame for failure at Copenhagen, even if it means the final outcome falls short of what many had envisioned a year or two ago. The U.S. pledge to cut its emissions by 2020 and China's offer to lower its carbon dioxide output relative to the size of its economy by the same date are more modest than what their negotiating partners had demanded.The fact that countries are defining their climate goals in varied ways -- including different baseline years and efficiency targets rather than absolute cuts -- makes it hard to assess their commitments. The United States has pledged cuts that are modest in the first decade but ambitious 15 and 20 years from now, while China has set a target that could amount to a meaningful reduction if the country's growth rate slows somewhat.Keya Chatterjee, the U.S. director for the World Wildlife Fund climate change program, likened the developments to "a phoenix . . . rising from the ashes." She added that, under a best-case scenario, "It's not a deal that's going to solve the problem of climate change a hundred percent. . . . But it is a deal that's going to create a foundation and an international architecture for resolving this issue over time."A senior Obama administration official offered a more cautious assessment: "There's a very real chance of getting this done, but hurdles remain."The biggest remaining obstacle is money, including how much the developed world will give developing nations to cope with the impact of global warming and to acquire technology to curb their emissions. The United States has not said how much it would pay into any global fund, which the Europeans have estimated would require at least $10 billion annually beginning next year.And on Thursday, Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva said at a meeting of Amazon nations that wealthier countries must "pay the price" for protecting rain forests that are vulnerable to clear-cutting and burning by farmers and ranchers, activities that help fuel global warming.Connie Hedegaard, the Danish minister for the climate conference, said "the decision on finance" was the most pressing issue developed countries face.The Obama administration has allocated about $1.2 billion toward international climate programs as part of its proposed fiscal 2010 budget. Sen. John F. Kerry, chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, said in an interview that it would take at least twice as much to help seal a deal in Copenhagen.China's announcement Thursday that it would send Premier Wen Jiabao to the talks and improve its economy's energy efficiency -- by as much as 45 percent by 2020, compared with 2005 levels -- makes it easier for other countries to commit to a treaty, but it remains unclear how the outside world would verify these cuts.South Korea's climate change ambassador, Chung Rae-kwon, whose country just pledged to cut its emissions 4 percent below 2005 levels by 2020, wrote in an e-mail to The Washington Post that China's proposal was "a great step forward" but added, "The issue now is how this Chinese target can be captured in the agreement to be achieved in Copenhagen."Several U.S. senators have said they cannot endorse domestic climate legislation or an international treaty unless it ensures that such economic competitors as China and India will take steps to curb their carbon dioxide output.Senate Republican Conference Chairman Lamar Alexander said in an interview that it was hard to determine whether the Chinese announcement addresses that concern. He added that he would rather have Obama focus on building more nuclear power plants and electrifying the U.S. auto fleet than "making trips to Copenhagen, trying to convince China to make itself poorer when so many people there live on less than a dollar a day."Daniel Price, an international economics adviser on the climate talks under former president George W. Bush, said negotiators still must resolve a range of issues, such as protecting the intellectual property rights of technological innovators and ensuring the integrity of any carbon trading scheme created under the pact.The need for consensus under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, which governs the talks, offers further complications. A bloc of African nations agreed this month on their bottom line for any deal but have not disclosed it. Major developing countries such as China, India and Brazil say they, too, will offer a unified position at the negotiations, but they have yet to determine it.India's environment minister, Jairam Ramesh, told the Hindustan Times newspaper thatChina's announcement was "a wake-up call. . . . We have to think hard about our climate strategy now and look for flexibility."Dominick DellaSala, president of the National Center for Conservation Science and Policy, said the emerging compromise could prompt negotiators to "lock in" less ambitious emission targets in the short term.Even Hedegaard, the Danish minister, noted that the current climate pledges by developing countries amount to an 18 percent reduction below 1990 emission levels by 2020, but the United States is pledging to cut emissions by about 4 percent by then. Europeans and many scientists have called for a 25 to 40 percent cut.Cutting a political deal now, argued Hedegaard and environmental advocates such as Chatterjee, makes more sense than holding out for a perfect agreement."If we don't resolve it now, it's not going to get any easier," Chatterjee said. "Time doesn't really help resolve issues of equity."37. The end of the world as we know it?Posted By Stephen M. Walt Thursday, May 13, 2010 - 10:35 AM ShareFor the past 500 years or so, world politics has mostly been driven by the actions and priorities of the transatlantic powers ("the West"). This era began with the development of European colonial empires, which eventually carved up most of the globe, spread ideas like Christianity, nationalism and democracy, and created many of the state boundaries that still exist today. Although other actors (e.g., Japan) played significant roles too, especially after 1945, the transatlantic community (broadly defined) had been the most important set of players for centuries.Europe's decline after World War II was immediately followed the era of American liberal internationalism. With NATO and Japan as junior partners, the United States underwrote a variety of global institutions (mostly of its own making), maintained a vast array of military bases, waged and won a Cold War, and sought to spread core "Western" values and institutions to different parts of the world.I don't want to go all Spenglerian on you -- but I'm beginning to think this era is essentially over, and that we are on the cusp of a major shift in the landscape of world power. Asia's share of world GDP already exceeds that of the United States or Europe, and a recent IMF study suggests it will be greater than the United States and Europe combined by 2030. Europe has already become a rather hollow military power, and the current economic crisis is going to force European states-and especially the United Kingdom -- to cut those capabilities even more. Needless to say, hopes that the euro might one day supplant the dollar look rather hollow today. Politics within many European countries is likely to get nasty as austerity kicks in, and there will inevitably be less money and less support for Europe's various philanthropic projects in Africa, Central Asia, orthe Middle East. Such activities won't disappear entirely, but it's hard to see how they can continue at anywhere near their current levels.America's situation is more favorable for several reasons (greater growth potential, a younger and still-growing population, more flexible labor markets, greater capacity to borrow abroad, etc.), but it will face analogous pressures of its own. We've piled up some serious debt due to the Iraq war and the 2008 financial crisis, unemployment remains uncomfortably high, the health care bill won't cut costs fast enough to make up for all those aging (and demanding) baby boomers, state and local governments are facing major fiscal problems of their own, resistance to taxation remains endemic, and we've got a lot of deferred maintenance in our national infrastructure. As Secretary of Defense Robert Gates acknowledged in a major speech last week, the Department of Defense won't be immune from these realities and it is going to have to make some serious cuts in the next few years too. And I'm betting that once the dust settles, the combined experience of Iraq and Afghanistan is going to cool U.S. enthusiasm for more open-ended and ill-conceived efforts.Taken together, this means that the countries that have done the most to try to manage global politics over the past several centuries are going to be doing a lot less of that sort of activity in the decades to come. In some ways, this could be a good thing, because some Western meddling was misguided and harmful and it would be better if other countries started taking more responsibility for their own affairs. But it also means that some areas of the world are going to get messier, and in ways that could still affect us all directly. And it also means that a new set of players will be increasingly involved in shaping the global agenda, and in some unfamiliar ways.Of course, to some extent the shifts I am describing merely reflect the fact some parts of the world are now developing rapidly, and shifting the global balance of power largely through their own efforts. China is the poster child for this trend, and its rapid rise is mostly due to Beijing have finally cast off the failed policies of the past century or so. Similar trends are evident in India, albeit more slowly, and in other Asian countries too.But the impending end of the Atlantic Era also reflects the self-inflicted wounds that Europe and America have each suffered over the past decade. In the European case, it was the misguided attempt to float a common currency on an inadequate institutional foundation, combined with irresponsible budgetary practices (the Labor era in England), fiscal chicanery (Greece) or a speculative bubbles (Spain and Ireland). In the American case, it was simple hubris: somehow we convinced ourselves that markets would always go up, that debts did not need to be paid, that whole regions could be transformed in liberal democracies at a point of a rifle barrel, and that we really could run the world on the cheap and without raising taxes. In simple terms, we can now see that the United States and much of Europe were like happy drunks enjoying a pleasant if prolonged pub-crawl. But eventually the party has to end, sobriety returns, and the hangover must be faced.If this analysis is even partly correct, then we are going to need some serious rethinking of grand strategy in both Europe and the United States. Hard choices will have to be made, and traditional world-views and familiar platitudes won't help us very much. Experience is valuabletrait for policymakers in normal times, but it can also blind them when new circumstances arise and the conventional wisdom is no longer relevant.Call me fanciful, but I'd still like to see Obama create a "Team B" to inject some new thinking more directly into the policy process. Or why not create several? Why not a Team B on the future of NATO, another on the Middle East peace process, a third on how to deal with Iran, a fourth on how to rebuild global institutions, and yet another on future relations with China? Don't give these groups any formal authority, but tell them to take a zero-based look at our current strategy and populate them with at least a few people who might not pass a Senate confirmation hearing and who haven't spent their whole lives repeating what everyone else has said before. And then listen to what they have to say. Who knows? They might actually come up with something useful.。

《散步》讲的是一家三代人之间相互扶助的事情。
其尊老爱幼，充满强烈温馨气氛的伦理美德便是一首战胜严寒、喜迎生命的赞歌。
《生命的意义》则直接教给人一个严肃的思考：一个人的一生究竟应该怎样度过？《我的小桃树》，说的是一个在旮旯里不受人关心的丑小鸭不断长大的故事。
虽说无情的风雨残酷地袭倾着，然而小桃树却能顽强地对抗着。
生命的积极意义不是正在这里吗？《我与地坛（一）》也是一篇感悟生命的诗歌。
文章以“我”与地坛的“缘分”起笔，表达与这荒园的某种命运联系。
作者说：“这古园仿佛是为了等我，而历尽沧桑在那儿等待了四百多年。
”这里的“等”“等待”颇值得我们来推敲。
我们不禁要问：他（地坛）为什么要等待呢？而且还是“它等待我出生，然后又等待我活到最狂妄的年龄上忽地让我残废了双腿”？其目的究竟何在？我们还可以就此不断地发问下去。
但问题显然在本段内难以找到颇具信服力的答案。
只是到了第五段时，我们才渐渐地理出文章的一些眉目来。
于是作者的内心在我们面前缓缓地展开来了。
作者在他那金子般的二十岁时突然失去了他的双腿，我们能够充分地理解他的难耐而苦的内心：“我找不到工作，找不到去路，忽然间几乎什么都找不到……我便一天到晚耗在这园子里。
”他在这里一连几小时专心致志地想关于死的事，想了好几年。
我想作者他一定想到了为什么他会在二十岁时突然失去双腿，但他肯定想不通这是为什么。
也许是上帝的安排吧，正如与自古以来的人们关于命运的看法一样，作者自然把这归之于“宿命”。
于是，他感到也许他与命运中的某种事物是相联系的，而这种联系正是要告诉他什么。

Mankind has now cut down half of the trees that existed 10,000 years ago. The loss of trees upsets the ecosystem as trees are necessary to build topsoil, maintain rainfall in dry climates, purify underground water and to convert carbon dioxide to oxygen. 10. ___________________________________________________________________________.

What do you suggest the readers of Awareness Magazine can do to help the environmental problem?Leon Nacson: The simplest way to help the environment is not to impact on it. Tread as lightly as you can, taking as little as possible, and putting back as much as you can.Dr. McKinley: What is your specific area of concern regarding the current and future state of the environment?Leon Nacson: Air and water pollution are our Number One priorities. It is hard to understand that we are polluting the air we breathe and the water we drink. These are two elements that are not inexhaustible, and we must realize that once we reach the point of no return, there will be nothing left for future generations.Dr. McKinley: Mr. Desai, what an honor it is to have this opportunity to interview you. Can you please share your wisdom with our readers and tell us where you see the environmental crisis heading?Amrit Desai: We are not separate from the problem. We are the problem. We live divided lives. On one hand, we ask industries to support our greed for more and more conveniences, comfort and possessions. We have become addicted consumers, which causes industrial waste. At the same time, we ignore our connection between our demands and the exploitation of Mother Earth. Whenwe are greedy for more than what we need for our well being, we always abuse the resources of our body and the earth.We are nurtured by the healthy condition of Mother Earth. In humans, if the mother is ailing, the child suffers. We are the cause of the ailing planet and we are the victims.Dr. McKinley: In closing, I thank all of the participants. I have learned a great deal about what I can do as an individual to help the environment.I hope these interviews encourage the readers of Awareness Magazine to take action and develop your own strategy.

14《高尔基和他的儿子》补充阅读材料
14《高尔基和他的儿子》补充阅读材料一、高尔基生平简介高尔基（1868～1936）前苏联无产阶级作家，社会主义现实主义文学的奠基人。
他出身贫苦，幼年丧父，11岁即为生计在社会上奔波，当装卸工、面包房工人，贫民窟和码头成了他的“社会”大学的课堂。
他与劳动人民同呼吸共命运，亲身经历了资本主义残酷的剥削与压迫。
这对他的思想和创作发展具有重要影响。
高尔基刻苦自学文化知识，并积极投身革命活动，探求改造现实的途径。
1892年发表处女作《马卡尔•楚德拉》，登上文坛，他的早期作品，杂存着现实主义与浪漫主义两种风格，这是他无产阶级世界观形成前必然经历的阶段。
浪漫主义作品如《马卡尔•楚德拉》、《伊则吉尔老婆子》（1895）、《鹰之歌》（1895）等，赞美了热爱自由、向往光明与英雄业绩的坚强个性，表现了渴望战斗的激情；现实主义作品如《契尔卡什》、《沦落的人们》、《柯诺瓦洛夫》等，描写了人民的苦难生活及他们的崇高品德，表达了他们的激愤与抗争。
这些作品的主人公大多是努力探求新的生活道路、思考生活的意义并充满激烈内心冲突的人物。
1901年他创作了著名的散文诗《海燕之歌》，塑造了象征大智大勇革命者搏风击浪的勇敢的海燕形象，预告革命风暴即将到来，鼓舞人们去迎接伟大的战斗，这是一篇无产阶级革命战斗的檄文与颂歌，受到列宁的热情称赞。
1905年革命前夕，高尔基的创作转向了戏剧，1901～1905年，他先后写出了《小市民》、《底层》、《避暑客》、《太阳的孩子们》和《野蛮人》等剧本。
特别是《小市民》、《底层》展现了现实生活中工人的新形象与新的精神面貌，表现了他们为自己权利而斗争的决心与乐观情绪，它们的上演，在当时俄国的剧坛上引起了轰动。
1906年高尔基写成长篇小说《母亲》和剧本《敌人》两部最重要的作品——标志着其创作达到了新的高峰。
《母亲》塑造了世界文学史上第一批自觉为社会主义而斗争的无产阶级革命者的英雄形象，是社会主义现实主义文学的奠基作。

Part IV Reading Comprehension (Reading in Depth) (25 minutes) Section ADirections: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage.Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in thebank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item onAnswer Sheet 2 with a single line through the center. Y ou may not use any of thewords in the bank more than once.Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s civil rights movement was the first step towards a truly desegregated（废除种族隔离的）America for blacks. Today, racism and discrimination（歧视）have 47 , but there are still many black people who have the 48 scars of racism and will never be able to forget the 49 racism has had on their lives. Racism is clearly an institution in America. It has existed since our nation’s founding, and it is now woven into many facets of 50 . Much of today’s racism stems from pride in one’s own race. Many people find it 51 to put down other ethnic groups in an attempt to strengthen their own. However, the 52 racist today is usually not even aware of the fact that he is being racist. Racism, 53 is simply fear that comes from ignorance. No one will ever know every single person of the African American race, yet people will tend to make 54 based upon their own personal beliefs and stereotype s（陈规）about blacks. Furthermore, if all men are created 55 , then why should differences in “race” matter so much? 56 our society has not lived up to the standards set by its forefathers. And, if it had not been for people like Dr. King, Maya Angelou and other strong-willed and just people, the country would probably still have two types of rest rooms--- one for whites and one for blacks.Section BDirections:There are two passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statement. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) andD). You should decide on the best choice and then mark the corresponding letter onAnswer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.Does money buy happiness? Not! Ah, but would a little more money make us a little happier? Many of us smirk（傻笑，假笑）and nod. There is, we believe, some connection between fiscal fitness and emotional fulfillment. Three in four American collegians（大学生）now consider it “very important” or “essential” that they become “very well off financially”. Money matters.But a surprising fact of life is that in countries where nearly everyone can afford life’s necessities, increasing affluence matters surprisingly little. The correlation between income and happiness is “surprisingly weak”, observed University of Michigan researcher Ronald Inglehart in one 16-nation study of 170,000 people. Once comfortable, more money provides diminishing returns. The second piece of pie, or the second $100,000, never tastes as good as the first. Even lottery winners and the Forbes’100 wealthiest Americans have expressed only slightly greater happiness than the average American. Making it big brings temporary joy. But in the long run wealth is like health: its utter absence can breed misery, but having it doesn’t guarantee happiness. Happiness seems less a matter of getting what we want than of wanting what we have.Has our happiness floated upward with the rising economic tide? Are we happier today than in 1940s, when two out of five homes lacked a shower or tub? Actually, we are not, since 1957, the number of Americans who say they are “very happy”has declined from 35 to 32 percent. Meanwhile, the divorce rate has doubled, the teen suicide rate has nearly tripled（使成三倍）, the violent crime rate has nearly quadrupled（使成四倍）(even after the recent decline), and more people than ever (especially teens and young adults) are depressed.This soaring wealth and shrinking spirit is called “the American paradox.” More than ever, we have big houses and broken homes, high incomes and low morale, secured rights and diminished civility. We excel at making a living but often fail at making a life. We celebrate our prosperity but yearn for a purpose. We cherish our freedoms but long for connection. In an age of plenty, we feel spiritual hunger.57. Which of following statements best expresses the author’s view?A) The more money we earn, the happier we would be.B) The more money we earn, the diminished returns we have.C) With the economy goes up, our happiness decreases.D) In the long run, money cannot guarantee happiness.58. “The second $100,000 never tastes as good as the first”, because______________.A) it’s not so fresh as the first $100,000B) it is not so important as the first $100,000C) profit brought by it is less than that from the first $100,000D) happiness brought by it is less than that from the first $100,00059. In this passage, “the American paradox” probably means______________ (Line 1, Para.4).A) the American characteristic B) the American contradictionC) the American wonder D) the American phenomenon60. According to the passage, people excel at making a living but ______________.A) don’t have any aim or ideal B) don’t know how to enjoy lifeC) don’t have any contact with other people D) don’t know how to spend money61. The things happened after 1957 are given to illustrate that ______________.A) people’s spiritual needs cannot be fulfilled by wealthB) family problems become more and more seriousC) social crimes have increased by a large marginD) young people are not happy about their lifePassage TwoQuestions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.To a large degree, the measure of our peace of mind is determined by how much we are able to live in the present moment. Irrespective of what happened yesterday or last year, and what may or may not happen tomorrow, the present moment is where you are —always!Without question, many of us have mastered the neurotic art of spending much of our lives worrying about a variety of things—all at once. We allow past problems and future concerns to dominate our present moments, so much so that we end up anxious, frustrated, depressed, and hopeless. On the flip side（另一方面）, we also postpone our gratification, our stated priorities, and our happiness, often convincing ourselves that “someday” will be better than today. Unfortunately, the same mental dynamics that tell us to look toward the future will only repeat themselves so that “someday” never actually arrives. John Lennon once said, “Life is what’s happening while we’re busy making other plans.” When we’re busy making “other plans”, our children are busy growing up. The people we love are moving away and dying, our bodies are getting out shape, and our dreams are slipping away. In short, we miss out on life.Many people live as if life were a dress rehearsal for some later date. It isn’t. In fact, no one has a guarantee that he or she will be here tomorrow. Now is the only time we have, and the only time that we have any control over. When our attention is in the present moment, we push fear from our minds. Fear is the concern over events that might happen in the future —we won’t have enough money, our children will get into trouble, we will get old and die, whatever.To combat fear, the best strategy is to learn to bring your attention back to the present. Mark Twain said: “I have been through some terrible things in my life, some of which actually happened.” I don’t think I can say it any better. Practice keeping your attention on the here and now, and your efforts will pay great dividends（奖金，红利）.62. The word “neurotic” in the context refers to ______________ (Line 1, Para.2)A) nerve B) worrisome C) crazy D) angry63. It can be concluded from John Lennon’s remarks that______________.A) life is what we have planned in the pastB) life will never realize what we have plannedC) plans are making preparation for future lifeD) life is slipping away when we make “other plans”64. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A) We are often upset because we worry about future problems.B) We delay our happiness because we’re afraid of missing our dreams.C) Life isn’t for controlling the time in some later date.D) We have missed many things when we’re busy making “other plans”.65. Which has NOT been included in the behavior of fear in this context?A) Concern the terrible things that happened in the past.B) Concern whether there will be enough money to use tomorrow.C) Concern whether our children will have troubleD) Concern whether we will get old and die.66. The best title for this passage would be ______________.A) Don’t Miss Out on Life! B) “Someday” Is Never Better than TodayC) Learn to Live in the Present Moment D) How to Conquer FearPart IV Reading Comprehension (Reading in Depth)Section A: BCGAI/LDENFSection B: CDBBA/ BDBACPart IV Reading Comprehension (Reading in Depth) (25 minutes)Section ADirections: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks.

It was 49 by the German and Dutch governments and the European Commission.“While many good and useful claims are being made, it is clear there is a long way to go in 50 shoppers are adequately informed about the environmental impact of products they buy,”said Consumers International director Anna Fielder.The 10-country study 51 product packaging in Britain, Western Europe, Scandinavia and the United States. It found that products sold in Germany and the United Kingdom made the most environmental claims on 52 .The report focused on claims made by 53 products, such as detergent (洗涤剂) insect sprays and by some garden products. It did not test the claims, but 54 them to labeling guidelines set by the International Standards Organization (ISO) in September, 1999.Researchers documented claims of environmental friendliness made by about 2,000 products and found many too vague or too misleading to meet ISO standards.The ISO labeling standards 55 vague or misleading claims on product packaging, because terms such as “environmentally friendly” and “non-polluting” cannot be 56 . “What we are now pushing for is to have multinational corporations meet the standards set by the ISO,”said Page.Section BDirections:There are two passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statement. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D).You should decide on the best choice and then mark the corresponding letter on AnswerSheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.Exchange a glance with someone, then look away. Do you realize that you have made a statement? Hold the glance for a second longer, and you have made a different statement. Hold it for 3 seconds, and the meaning has changed again. For every social situation, there is a permissible time that you can hold a person’s gaze without being intimate, rude, or aggressive. If you are on an elevator, what gaze-time are you permitted? To answer this question, consider what you typically do. You very likely give other passengers a quick glance to size them up (打量) and to assure them that you mean no threat. Since being close to another person signals the possibility of interaction. You need to emit a signal telling others you want to be left alone. So you cut off eyecontact, what sociologist Erving Goffman (1963) calls “a dimming of the lights”. You look down at the floor, at the indicator lights, anywhere but into another passenger’s eyes. Should you break the rule against staring at a stranger on an elevator, you will make the other person exceedingly uncomfortable, and you are likely to feel a bit strange yourself.If you hold eye contact for more than 3 seconds, what are you telling another person? Much depends on the person and the situation. For instance, a man and a woman communicate interest in the manner. They typically gaze at each other for about 3 seconds at a time, then drop their eyes down for 3 seconds, before letting their eyes meet again. But if one man gives another man a 3-second-plus stare, he signals, “I know you”, “I am interested in you,” or “You look peculiar andI am curious about you.” This type of stare often produces hostile feelings.57. It can be inferred from the first paragraph that ________________.A) every glance has its significanceB) staring at a person is an expression of interestC) a gaze longer than 3 seconds is unacceptableD) a glance conveys more meaning than words58. If you want to be left alone on an elevator, the best thing to do is ________________.A) to look into another passenger’s eyesB) to avoid eye contact with other passengersC) to signal you are not a threat to anyoneD) to keep a distant from other passengers59. By “a dimming of the lights” (Para. 1, Line 8) Erving Goffman means “________________”.A) closing one’s eyes B) turning off the lightsC) ceasing to glance at others D) reducing gaze-time to the minimum60. If one is looked at by a stranger for too long, he tends to feel ________.A) depressed B) uneasy C) curious D) amused61. The passage mainly discusses ________________.A) the limitations of eye contactB) the exchange of ideas through eye contactC) proper behavior in situationsD) the role of eye contact in interpersonal communicationPassage TwoQuestions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.The picnics, speeches, and parades of today’s Labor Day were all part of the first celebration, held in New York City in 1882. Its promoter was an Irish-American labor leader named Peter J. McGuire. A carpenter by trade, McGuire had worked since the age of eleven, and in 1882 was president of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners (UBCJ). Approaching the City’s Central Labor Union that summer, he proposed a holiday that would applaud (赞许) “the industrial spirit-the-great vital force of every nation.” On September 5 his suggestion bore fruit, as an estimated 10,000 workers, many of them ignoring their bosses’ warnings, left work to march from Union square up Fifth Avenue to 42nd Street. The event gained national attention, and by1893 thirty states had made Labor Day an annual holiday.The quick adoption of the scheme may have indicated less about the state lawmakers’ respect for working people than about a fear of risking their anger. In the 1880s the United States was a land sharply divided between the immensely wealthy and the very poor. Henry George was accurate in describing the era as one of “progress and poverty.”In a society in which factory, owners rode in private Pullmans while ten-year-olds slaved in the mines, strong anti-capitalist feeling ran high. Demands for fundamental change were common throughout the labor press. With socialists demanding an end to “wage slavery” and anarchists (无政府主义) singing the praises of the virtues of dynamite (炸药), middle-of-roaders like Samuel Gompers and McGuire seemed attractively mild by comparison. One can imagine practical capitalists seeing Labor Day as a bargain: A one-day party certainly cost them less than paying their workers decent wages.62.Judging from the passage, McGuire was________________.A) a moderate labor leaderB)an extreme-anarchist in the labor movementC) a devoted socialist fighting against exploitation of man by manD) a firm anti-capitalist demanding the elimination of wage slavery63.We can see from the first paragraph that the first Labor Day march ________________.A) immediately won nationwide support B) involved workers from 30 statesC) was opposed by many factory owners D) was organized by the UBCJ64. Which of the following is the key factor in the immediate approval of Labor Day as anational holiday?A) The lawmakers’ respect for the workers.B) The workers’ determination to have a holiday of their own.C) The socialists’ demands for thorough reform.D) The politicians’ fear of the workers’ anger.65. We learn from the passage that the establishment of Labor Day ________________.A) was accepted by most bosses as a compromiseB) marked a turning point in the workers’ struggle for more rightsC) indicated the improvement of the workers’ welfareD) signaled the end of “wage slavery”66. McGuire proposed Labor Day in order to ________________.A) draw people’s attention to the striking contrast between the rich and the poorB) make prominent the important role of the working class in societyC) win for the workers the right to shorter working hoursD) expose the exploitation of the workers by their bossesPart IV Reading Comprehension (Reading in Depth)Section A: H I J C K/M E G O ASection B:ABCBD/ACDAB。

论说文阅读补充材料(2013年部分高考题)
论说文阅读补充练习高三语文备课组一、（2013年全国卷1）阅读下面的文字，完成1~3题（9分，每小题3分）老子其人其书的时代，自司马迁《史记》以来即有异说，清代学者崇尚考据，对此议论纷纷，如汪中作《老子考异》，力主老子为战国时人，益启争端。
钱穆先生说：“老子伪迹不彰，真相不白，则先秦诸子学术思想之系统条贯始终不明，其源流派别终无可言.”大家都期待这个问题有新的解决线索.过去对于古书真伪及年代的讨论，只能以纸上材料证明纸上材料，没有其它的衡量标准，因而难有定论。
用来印证《老子》的古书，大多收到辨伪家的怀疑，年代确不可移的，恐怕要数到《韩非子》。
《吕氏春秋》和《淮南子》，但这几本书成书太晚，没有多少作用.近年战国秦汉简帛佚籍大量出上，为学术界提供了许多前所未见的地下材料，这使我们有可能重新考虑《老子》的时代问题。
1973牛长沙马王堆三号汉墓出土的帛书，内有《老子》两种版本，甲本字体比较早，不避汉高祖讳，应抄写于高祖即帝位前，乙本避高祖讳，可能抄写于文帝初。
这两本《老子》抄写年代都晚，无益于《老子》著作年代的推定，但乙本前面有《黄帝书》四篇，系。
黄”、“老”合抄之本，则从根本上改变了学术界对早期道家的认识。
郭沐若先生曾指出，道家都是以“发明黄老道德意”为其指归，故也可称之为黄老学派.《老子》和《黄帝书》是道家的经典，在汉初被抄写在《老子》前面的《黄帝书》显然在当时公众心目中已据有崇高位置，不会是刚刚撰就的作品。
同时，《黄帝书》与《申子》、《慎子》、《韩非子》等有许多共通文句，而申不害、慎到、韩非三人均曾学黄老之术，这些共通之处可认作对《皇帝书》的引用阐发。
申不害和慎到的年代，前人推为战国中期，《皇帝书》不应更晚。
至于《皇帝书》与《老子》的共通之处也甚多，入《皇帝书·经法》篇云“王天下者有玄德”，什么是“玄德。
”文中未见解释，查《老子》五十一章：“生而不有，为而不恃，长而不宰，之谓玄德。
”帛书所讲“玄德”显然由此而来。
语文说明文补充阅读材料2
(一)①来自冰岛的火山烟尘近日肆虐欧洲，迫使许多机场关闭，航班取消，国家政要被迫改变行程，甚至有可能影响全球气候。
火山灰为何如此厉害？②和所有火山烟尘一样，冰岛火山烟尘的根源是地底岩浆。
③冰岛的火山喷发不是什么新鲜事。
冰岛位于大西洋中脊上。
这个大西洋中脊位于大西洋中间，在北大西洋这部分，是分隔北美板块和欧亚板块的地方，可以说冰岛同时位于北美板块和欧亚板块上。
这个中脊高出周围洋底不少，在冰岛这里，索性露出了海面，形成了世界上第18大岛。
这里是板块运动活跃的地方，所以经常有火山爆发，冰岛自然也就有很多的火山。
这个面积只有10万平方公里的岛屿，竟然有大约130座火山，自从冰岛有人类居住开始，已经有18座火山先后喷发过很多次。
④此次喷发的显著特点是冰火交融。
除拥有丰富的地热资源外，冰岛境内还有许多冰川。
近来喷发的火山位于埃亚菲亚德拉冰盖冰川附近，火山上不少喷发口都覆盖着冰层。
3月20日，火山开始活动时，还是在没有冰层的地方冒烟，4月1日火山却直接从冰层之下开始了大规模喷发。
冰火交融的第一个结果是融化的冰川形成了洪水。
其次，冰水与岩浆相互作用，产生了地质学上所谓的“射气岩浆喷发”。
这种喷发导致火山烟尘中含有类似玻璃碎粒的物质。
火山灰基本上是由非常小的岩石颗粒组成的，这些颗粒如此小而轻，以至于它们能够很容易的被空气托起来。
所有的火山灰云柱都能堵塞飞机的传感器，并包住飞机，这样会增大飞机重量，并改变飞机微妙的平衡。
这次的冰岛火山烟柱是特别危险的，因为其中含有类似玻璃碎粒的颗粒，这些颗粒在飞机极高的发动机环境温度下会融化，阻塞并损坏机械结构。
喷气式飞机飞过这种灰云．．．．的话，发动机将会熄火，进而酿成空难。
⑤冰岛火山爆发带来的大量火山灰严重影响了欧洲各国航班的正常运行。
不光是冰岛，连英国的所有进出航班都已经取消，从15号中午开始，英国除执行紧急任务的飞机之外，所有飞机都被禁止飞行，繁忙的机场变成了停机坪。
与此同时，爱尔兰、挪威、瑞典北部飞往丹麦、荷兰和比利时的航班也已经全部取消。

补充阅读材料加强学生阅读自信
补充阅读材料加强学生阅读自信阅读是我们学习的基本技能之一，通过阅读我们可以获取大量的信息，拓展自己的知识面，但是很多学生在阅读方面存在一些困难，如阅读速度慢、理解能力差等。
为了解决这些问题，我们可以采用一些方法来帮助学生提高阅读能力和阅读自信心。
以下是一些补充阅读材料的建议。
第一、多读书想要提高阅读能力和阅读自信心，最好的方法就是多读书。
通常情况下，学生在每学期都需要读很多书，但是大多数学生可能只会读课本，甚至有一些学生会抄袭别人的作品，这样就无法提高阅读能力和阅读自信心。
因此，老师可以推荐一些适合学生的读物，并安排一些时间给学生自由阅读，这将对提高学生的阅读能力和阅读自信心非常有帮助。
第二、理解文章结构阅读一篇文章时，学生应该逐句阅读，并分析文章的结构和内容，这将使学生更好地理解文章。
一些文章可能涉及到一些专业术语或高级语言，并且经常包含一些难点，如逻辑推理、引申含义等。
在阅读这些文章时，学生应当关注信息的关联、寻找关键字、理清重点，去掉无关累赘，提高阅读的效率。
第三、练习阅读练习可以帮助学生更好地掌握阅读技能。
老师可以让学生通过阅读科技期刊以及各类报纸和杂志来提高阅读能力和自信心，并注重对文章内容的理解和分析。
前面提到，有些文章难度较高，可以根据学生阅读能力的不同，适当地选取一些难度相对较低的材料作为练习对象，逐渐提高难度。
第四、理解作者思路一篇文章可以被看作是作者的思想和思路的表达，而了解作者的思路和思考方式不仅对提高学生的阅读能力有帮助，而且对其他学科的学习都有很大的帮助。
因此，学生应该思考作者发布文章的目的、主题和获得的信息，这将帮助学生更好地理解文章并提高阅读能力。
第五、使用工具阅读工具是一种非常好的辅助手段。
例如，文字扫描电子书阅读器，可以帮助学生更快地阅读长篇小说等文学类书籍；文献管理工具，可以帮助学生将一些关键信息及时整理，便于未来更好地复习。
当然，还有一些语音障碍学生可以通过语音识别技术，将书上的文字转化为语音来帮助自己理解。

苏教版语文高一苏教语文必修一课后阅读补充材料用直升机抓小偷
高中-语文-精心校对-打印版用直升机抓小偷2010年7月15日6时许，刘伯权先生开着保时捷轿车，载着他的儿子和一名飞机驾驶员，途经常平镇田美村路段时，看见前面两名男子骑着一辆摩托车，一把将路边一男子的挎包抢走。
他猛加油门就追了上去。
在一处山坡，抢包的男子终于被抓住了。
而另一名抢匪纵身跳进了路边的一个大池塘。
于是刘先生就向当地警方请示，动用直升机将抢匪抓上岸。
刘先生驾驶着直升机，一边靠近水面，用风把水浪卷起来，逼劫匪上岸。
当时抢匪被风浪呛得急忙用衣服挡住口鼻，但是仍然不上来。
刘先生就拿起一根棍子打抢匪，由于棍子不够长，接触不到抢匪，刘先生只好开着直升机到其他地方又找了一根长约五米的棍子，再次返回水塘上空，继续赶抢匪上岸。
但是在这期间，抢匪却将棍子抢走，然后使劲敲打刘先生驾驶的直升机。
刘先生担心直升机被打坏，急中生智又叫人将他的一艘私人汽艇运过来，而此时，常平公安分局特警队也调来了一艘汽艇。
当地公安、消防、治安等多个部门的人员都纷纷赶到。
两艘汽艇到位以后，经过研究，根据当时的形势，由专门人员驾驶汽艇采取夹击战术，一边喊抢匪上岸自首，一边向抢匪靠拢，寻找机会抓捕。
但是抢匪的水性不错，在水塘里游来游去，很不好靠近。
大概僵持了一个多小时，当晚约9时许，特警队员瞅准一个机会，终于将这名抢匪抓到汽艇上。
如此见义勇为的事情发生后，本该称颂声一片才对，但想不到的是竟然招来一片质疑声。
有网友说此乃刘先生在“炫富”！有的说开飞机抓小偷乃大材小用，不值！简直是“拿大炮打蚊子”。
读到网友的非议，我压制住自己的冲动，尽量让自己冷静地思考，到底刘先生所做值不值？后来我干脆把这事跟很多老百姓讲了。
这一帮朴素、单纯而善良的老百姓，他们的表示那么一致，都认为抓小偷就该用直升机。
他们的理由如下：第一，偷没有大小之分。
更何况小偷不顾别人的生命安全在路上抢劫，随时会伤害人，甚至会夺取别人的生命，如此看来，罪大恶极。
第二,动用直升机抓小偷震慑极大，“想不到他竟然用直升机来追捕我们”，太可怕了。

My Four-Months Visit to a High School in America美国金克斯高中与成都七中是友好学校，每年两校派多名师生互访，下文是我校外语组老师在美国金克斯高中交流所见所闻：In the early morning of September 3rd, 2005, a delegation(代表团) composed of (组成) twelve students, a Chinese teacher and an English teacher (me) from Chengdu No. 7 High School left Chengdu airport, starting our trip to visit the sister school of Chengdu No. 7 High School ---Jenks High School in Tulsa, Oklahoma, America. During the first month, the students and teachers lived in their respective(各自的) partn er’s houses and made presentations about Chinese culture, attended classes and took some tours in Tulsa.Three weeks later all the students were back to China, I began to make presentations and attend classes. So far three months has passed since we arrived in America. The following is what I get to know about Jenks High School.Jenks High School includes three grade levels: Sophomore, Junior and Senior, which is similar to senior 1, senior 2, and senior 3 of the senior middle school in China Jenks High School has about 2,100 students. Majority of the students is Americans. The minority(少数民族) includes Mexicans, Chinese, Koreans, Vietnamese, Indians and so on. The students all come from the neighborhood of Jenks district. The school is financially(财政) supported by the state through tax. That is to say parents of the students needn’t pay tuition(学费). The school doesn’t have dormitories(寝室) for its students. All the students either drive their cars to school or take the school bus, or their parents drive them to school every day. In America, students are allowed to drive cars when they are above 16. Eighty six percent of the students in Jenks High School drive their own cars to school. In order to afford their gasoline, students do part-time jobs. They may work 25 hours a week and earn about $5.5 per hour. Many students work in the restaurants.There are six class hours in a day with school starting at 7:50a.m and ending at 2: 30 p.m. Each class is 55 minutes. There is only a 35 minutes’ lunch break when st udents and teachers eat either the cafeteria food or the food they take from home. The school doesn’t have walls or gates, but usually no students will go outside for their lunch, because there is no restaurant in the vicinity of the school. If you drive t o eat, you won’t have enough time.Teachers are required to arrive at school 20 minutes before school starts and stay at school twenty minutes more after school to help the students to solve problems in their study. Usually most of the teachers will do some preparation work for the next day and stay at school until about 4: 00p.m. There are about 150 teachers in Jenks High School. Most teachers teach five hours per day and have one hour as conference hour. Take my host teacher Paulette as an example. The first hour is her conference hour, during which, she can either do some preparation work for her teaching or meet the parents if there is an appointment, and she teaches from the 2nd to the 6th hour.Unlike in China, teachers in America stay in the same classroom and students shift during the seven minutes’ break between every hour. The classroom is also the teacher ’s office. It is furnished with a desk top computer which is connected with Internet, a TV, a telephone which the teacher can use to call either the other classrooms or the outside of the school, an overhead projector(投影), a white board and file cabinets(陈列柜). Each teacher will be paid by the school about $50 a year to buy some teaching necessities such as marker pens. The teacher is the “owner” of the classroom, so he or she is in charge of everything. He or she will d ecorate the classroom according to his or her favor and make sure the classroom keeps tidy. And the teacher keeps the key to the classroom. So if the teacher is late, all his or her students will be waiting in the hallway.Each student’s daily schedule kee ps the same during the weekdays. Students make their own study plan with the help of Course Planning Guide and they have a lot of different choices.Take one senior student as an example. The following is his daily schedule. 1st hour: office aid, 2nd hour, ACT (American College Testing, which is similar to entrance exam to the college in China) Preparation, 3rd hour, Introduction to business, 4th hour, weight training, 5th hour, English 12 British literature, 6th hour, Ceramics(制陶). Only the 5th hour is a mandatory(强制的) course, he chose the 2nd hour course to help himself pass the ACT. The other four hours are all at his disposal(自行处理) as his interests. So every day he spends at most one hour on his homework and after school he works in a restaurant to earn the money for his car payment.In each classroom, there are at most 30 students. In this way, teachers can have a lot of communications with students. In most classes, students behave very well and are very attentive.The pay a teacher receives is depended on her level of certification(职称). One teacher may teach different courses during his or her five teaching hours every day. Take my other host teacher Nancy as an example, she teaches both English and Holocaust(大屠杀). That is to say, she has to prepare two different teaching plans every day, but she will not get more payment for that extra work. Anyhow, she doesn’t complain about that because she thinks it gives her more opportunities for employment since she can teach different courses. Some teachers, especially Math teachers can earn extra money via tutoring(辅导). The average price for tutoring is $30 per hour.Their foreign language teaching includes Chinese, French, German, Latin, Spanish and American Sign Language. They also have ELL (English Language Learning), which helps the immigrant students to improve English more quickly. The school leaders of Jenks High School include one principal(校长) and four assistant principals(副校长).The main problems of the students in Jenks High School are quite similar to the ones for Chengdu No.7 High School. Problem No.1 is being tardy(迟到). Problem No. 2 is not wearing their ID cards(学校身份卡). Problem No. 3 is alcohol drinking (people under 21 are not allowed to drink alcohol in the U.S), and smoking. The punishments(惩罚) for these misbehaviors are detention, Saturday school service and off campus suspension depending on how serious the problems are. Detention refers students concerned are required to come to school one hour before school starts or stay one more hour after school. Saturday school service refers students concerned have to clean up the school from 8:00 a.m. to 12: 00 a.m. on Saturday. Off school suspension refers students concerned have to stay at home and teach themselves for a few days. Three assistant principals are in charge of the students’ misbehaviors. If the assistant principal needs to talk with a student, he will give a pass to the student, the teacher gets the pass and let the student out of the classroom during class. Of course, teachers will deal with the common problems such as being noisy in the class, not having finished the homework etc. If the students fail to finish their homework, he will get a zero score, and it will influence his credit. So generally speaking, this is more effective than the Chinese way.After Reading:1.Do the students in Jenks High School need to pay?2.How do they go to school?3.Do the teachers have their office?4.Please describe one- day life of a student in Jenks High School.5.Please describe one- day life of a teacher in Jenks High School.6.Please explain Detention, Saturday School Service and Off Campus Suspension?7.What if the students fail to finish their homework?。
