This is love, hand in hand with you, old age to the old.
I made a promise to myself on the way down to the vacation beach cottage. For two weeks I would try to be a(an) 31 husband and father. Totally loving. No ifs, ands or buts.
The 32 had come to me as I listened to a talk on my car radio. The 33 was quoting Biblical passage about husbands and their wives. Then he went on to say, “Love is an 34 of will. A person can choose to love.” To myself, I had to 35 that I had been a selfish husband. Well, for two weeks that would 36 .
And it did, 37 from the moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said, “That new yellow sweater looks 38 on you.”
“Oh, Tom, you noticed,” she said, 39 and pleased. Maybe a little puzzled. 40 the long drive, I wanted to sit and read. Evelyn 41 a walk on the beach. I started to refuse, 42
then I thought she wanted to be alone with me.” We walked on the beach while the 43 flew their kites.

It took a moment for it all to be understood. Then I burst into 50 .

Ok, I admit it: Emoticons(表情符号) are popular. Some people even think they are fun. Many seem unable to get through an e-mail or Instant Message chat sentence without using one. Some feel that they add feeling and character to otherwise cold digital communications.
Some, however, such as editor and Hollywood scriptwriter John Blumenthal, blast the use of emotions as “ infantile(幼稚的) just like the people who use them”. He believes that words themselves should be enough. “If you’re being funny, happy or sad, that should be apparent from the comment that goes before the emoticons,” he argues.
In the eyes of Blumenthal, the use of emoticons is a gender issue. “Men don’t use emoticons very much. Maybe not at all.,” he said. “Teenage girls and women seem to use them a lot. Maybe there’s an emoticons gene.”
It’s an interesting opinion, but it is not shared by all.
In an interview with The New York Times, Dacher Keltner, professor of psychology at the University of California, said that emoticons are popular because our brains are programmed “ to seek out representations of humanity”. He believes that they appeal not because they are shortcuts for the lazy, but because they tap into(输入)something beyond language. They reach to our need to be with and communicate with people.
All of these arguments may be somehow valid(正确的). Each one of us will choose to communicate in our own way. I do not have much time for emoticons. I tried to use one once and felt like I was stealing into a primary school class that I had no place being in. I’d rather let my words do the talking.
Friends, however, send me messages and e-mails full of emoticons. I have no problem with this, I don’t regard any of my friends as lazy or immature. It’s just a question of individuality.
【小题1】According to the article, emoticons are popular because_________.
A.most of them look funny |
B.they are easy for lazy people to use |
C.they add feeling and character to a communication |
D.a reader cannot understand a message without them |
A.Instant Message chatters are childish. |
B.It’s enough to use language in digital communication. |
C.Men never use emoticons. |
D.There is an emoticon gene in everybody. |
A.feels he has no difficulty using emoticons |
B.thinks emoticons don’t suit him |
C.encourage his friends to use emoticons |
D.believes that emoticons are suitable for everyone |
A.Advice on language used over the Internet. |
B.The history of emoticons. |
C.Arguments over the use of emoticons. |
D.Reasons for the popularity of emoticons. |

Norah had a cottage on a cliff(悬崖)above a big bay. In winter it could be very unpleasant because of strong winds and sea waves. In fact, when a gale was blowing, Norah and her husband got used to sleeping in a small room downstairs, because their bedroom upstairs, which faced the gales, had a very big window, and they were afraid that an extra violent wind might break it and blow pieces of broken glass over them.
Also, the salt wave from the sea put an end to many of the colorful plants Norah planted in her garden. She tried putting up a fence to protect them, but the wind just hit it, went up over the top and then down the other side, so in the end she filled the garden with trees and bushes that liked salt.
But most of the summer Norah enjoyed her cottage and garden very much. At weekends she could sit out-of-doors in the sun, looking at the beautiful view, with interesting ships and boats passing by, and she could very easily cycle down to the sea for a swim.
Now, Norah and her husband had plenty of friends and relations. In the summer lots of them used to come to enjoy the beautiful place, and in the end it really became quite annoying for the couple. When they were at home, they found friends and relations arriving, expecting to be given unlimited drinks and meals, and to sit in the sun for hours, talking as if Norah and her husband had nothing else to do but entertain and listen to them.
This went on for several years. Norah didn’t wish to appear rude by refusing to let her friends and relations in, but on the other hand, she was getting tired every summer.
Then one day Norah was complaining about this to her hairdresser while she was doing her hair. “You’re disturbed by too many uninvited guests, are you?” said the hairdresser. “Why don’t you try my way of escaping?”
“What’s that?” asked Norah.
“Well,” the hairdresser answered, “when the bell rings, I put on my coat and take my shopping bag. If it’s someone I don’t want to see, I say innocently, ‘I’m sorry, but I’ve got to go out.’ But…”

B.if it’s someone I like to see, I say ‘How lucky! I’ve just come in!’

科目:高中英语 来源:2012-2013学年辽宁省分校高三上学期12月月考英语试卷(解析版) 题型:阅读理解
It's not a new phenomenon, but have you noticed how many nouns are being used as verbs? We all use them, often without noticing what we're doing.
I was arranging to meet someone for dinner last week, and I said “I’ll pencil it in my diary”, and my friend said “You can ink it in”, meaning that it was a firm arrangement not a tentative one!
Many of these new verbs are linked to new technology. An obvious example is the word fax. We all got used to sending and receiving faxes, and then soon started talking about faxing something and promising we'd fax it immediately. Then along came email, and we were soon all emailing each other madly. How did we do without it? I can hardly imagine life without my daily emails.
Email reminds me, of course, of my computer and its software, which has produced another
couple of new verbs. On my computer I can bookmark those pages from the World Wide Web that I think I'll want to look at again, thus saving all the effort of remembering their addresses and calling them up from scratch. I can do the same thing on my PC, but there I don't bookmark; I favorite—coming from “favorite pages”, so the verb is derived from an adjective not a noun.
Now my children bought me a mobile phone, known simply as a mobile and I had to learn yet more new verbs. I can message someone, that is, I can leave a message for them on their phone. Or I can text them, write a few words suggesting when and where to meet, for example. How long will it be before I can mobile them, that is, phone them using my mobile? I haven’t heard that verb yet, but I’m sure I will soon. Perhaps I’ll start using it myself!
1. “I’ll pencil it in my diary” in the second paragraph probably means .
A. it was a firm arrangement
B. it was an uncertain arrangement
C. the arrangement should be written as a diary
D. he prefers a pencil to a pen
2.A website address can be easily found if it has been______.
A. emailed B. messaged C. favorited D. texted
3.Which of the following has not been used as a verb, yet?
A. message B. page C. email D. mobile
4.The best title for this passage is____.
A. New Verbs from Nouns
B. The Development of the English language
C. New Technology and New words
D. Technology and Language.
