A
One fine afternoon I was walking along Fifth Avenue when I remembered that it was necessary to buy a pair
of socks. I turned into the first sock shop that caught my eye, and a boy clerk who could not have been more than
17 years old came forward.
“What can I do for you, sir?”
“I wish to buy a pair of socks.”
His eyes glowed. “Did you know that you had come into the best place in the world to buy socks?
been aware of that.
用力拖) down from the shelves box after box.
“Come with me,” said the boy happily. He began to haul (
“Hold on, boy, I am going to buy only one pair!”
“I know that,” said he, “but I want you to see how beautiful these are. Aren’t they wonderf his face an expression of joy, as if he were showing to me the mysteries of his religion.
is not just the enthusiasm (热情) that comes from novelty (新鲜), if you can keep “My friend,” said I, “if this
up this day after day, in ten years you will own every sock in the United States.”
In many shops the customer has to wait for someone to serve him. And when finally some clerk does notice
you, you are made to feel as if you were disturbing him. He displays no interest either in you or in the goods he is
paid to sell.
Yet possibly that very clerk who is now so cold began his career with enthusiasm. As time goes by, the
enthusiasm is gradually gone; his only pleasures were found outside of working hours. He became a mechanical
(机械的), not inspired, salesman.
I have observed such change in the lives of so many people in so many occupations that I have come to the
conclusion that the fastest road to failure is to do things mechanically.
21. The writer was impressed by _______.

B. the way the boy served him

C. the beautiful socks in the shop
D. the boy’s selling skill

Teenagers and adults have a difficult time in communicating. Teenagers often think adults don
cts.
them. Adults often think teenagers just don’t listen to anything they say. That causes arguments and confli People very often use “generation gap” to explain the problems between parents and children. However, the problem of communication between parents and teenagers does not all lie in the “generation gap”underlying statements that are not fully communicated between a teenager and a parent. Here is an example.
Mother says: “Please take out the trash.” The teenager replies: “OK.” However, one hour later the mo trash is still in the kitchen and so becomes a bit unhappy. “I thought I asked you to take out the trash. replies: “You didn’t say I had to do it now.”　
Are you familiar with his kind of conversation? In this conversation the mother feels that the teenager should
know what she means, but the teenager jus t doesn’t. Conversations like this take place around our home every day.
They cause some unhappiness but are totally normal, and can usually be solved quite soon. It is when this type of
gers that larger problems can be caused. It is
“lack of communication” gets involved with the bigger issues of teena
more difficult to solve these larger problems and it takes the hard work of both parents and teenagers to overcome
such problems.
24. According to the writer, the difficulty in communication between teenagers and their parents lies in______.
A. generation gap
B. misunderstanding
C. lack of communication
D. different style of thinking
in paragraph 2 is closest in the meaning to______.
25. The underlined word “underlying”
A. slight
B. indirect
C. original
D. intended
26. The writer believes that ______.
A. small incidents at home can cause lager problems
B. both parents and teenagers should learn to respect each other
C. the problems between parents and teenagers are easy to solve
D. larger problems can be caused if miscommunication arises in bigger issues
C
Life is full of funny moments, and not just for humans.
Over the years, studies by various groups have suggested that monkeys, dogs and even rats love a good laugh.
People, meanwhile, have been laughing since before they could talk.
Jaak Panksepp, a professor at Bowling Green State University, US, said he would not be surprised if positive
feelings could be produced in some animals.
Dolphins, for example, have long attracted animal researchers because of the complex (复杂的) ways in which
they communicate: a rich variety of sounds of different rhythms.
A decade ago, researchers studying dolphins at the Kolmarden Wildlife Park in Sweden noticed a set of sounds
the dolphins made during play-fighting. They concluded that the purpose of the sound was to suggest that the
situation was pleasant and to prevent it from a real fight.
Panksepp has even seen evidence of joy in crayfish (小龙虾). When given small amounts of drugs such as
cocaine (可卡因) in a certain place, they appear to connect that location with pleasure.
he says.
“Given the chance, they will always return to that place, perhaps in the hope of getting more,”　
Panksepp wasn’t sure it equals
the same happiness that humans get from cocaine, but said it “could be in th evolutionary category”．
More studies are needed to really understand animals’ laughter. Strangely enough, the answers may help w
抗
our own desires for cures for mental ill nesses. Panksepp’s experiments may soon lead to a new antidepressant (
抑郁) drug that works by using the pathways in the brain behind positive feelings and joy. Perhaps pleasure and
laughter in the animal world will help solve the depression in our own species one day.
27. Scientists are always interested in doing research on dolphins because dolphins ________.
A. understand humans’ sounds
B. show positive feeling while playing
C. make different sounds when they communicate
D. make a set of sounds during play-fighting games
28. What do the underlined words “our own species” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. Animals.
B. Humans.
C. Sounds.
D. Pleasure.
29. From the passage we can learn that ________.
A. people learn to talk before they can laugh.
B. animals have a very good sense of location.
C. humans have known the animals’ happiness well.
D. there is still much left to learn about animals’ laughter.
30. Which of the following can be the best title for this passage?
A. Animals Feeling Joy.
B. Man and Nature.
C. Sounds Made by Animals.
D. A Long Way to Go.

选项中有两项为多余选
项。

What is personality? How does knowledge about personality help us?
First of all, let us take a look at what personality means. In general, when psychologists talked about personality, they are usually looking for things that make a person different from others or things that can explain
how a person is not the same as others. However, different psychologists have different ways of explaining what personality is. 31 For example, people who are quiet and like to spend more time at home reading and doing their own things are called introverts (性格内向的人). Others who enjoy going out and spend time with other people are called extroverts. 32 Are you an introverts or extroverts?
33 Well, one of the ways is that by knowing how people behave and why they behave in a certain way,
we can understand them better. This will help to make our relationship with them stronger. For example, if we know that someone is introvert, we will understand why he or she does not feel comfortable when he or she is with
a big group of newly met people. 34
Another way knowledge of personality can help us is when we want to improve ourselves. If we know what personality type we belong to and the reasons we behave the way we do, we can then try to change some of the bad things so that they can become good. 35
A. We may then help this person to make friends and talk to others.
B. Personality makes you different from others.
C. They often use tests to put people in groups and compare them.
D. Second, how can knowledge of personality help us?
E. Personality types affect our life in many ways.
F. In this way, we can make ourselves a better person.
G. Do you know which personality type you are?

We are so excited to have you teach us this term. I have been expecting your lessons and I am sure we’ll have
a great time together.
As for my advice for your lessons, I would like you to bring your American teaching methods to our class
because we really want to know how classes go and how students learn in American. Meanwhile, American teenagers’ daily life would interest us a lot. We don’t really like to have homework, but some after-class talks or
topic discussions in English will be great.
I hope the advice will help and enjoy your life here.
