    The Red Cross is an international organization which cares for people who are in need of help. A man in a Paris hospital who needs blood, a woman in Mexico who was injured in an earthquake, and a family in India that lost their home in a storm may all be aided by the Red Cross.
    The Red Cross exists in almost every country around the world. The world Red Cross organizations are sometimes called the Red Crescent, the Red Mogen Daid, the Sun, and the Red Lion. All of these agencies share a common goal of trying to help people in need.
    The idea of forming an organization to help the sick and wounded during a war started with Jean Henri Dunant. In 1859, he observed how people were suffering on a battlefield in Italy. He wanted to help all the wounded people regardless of which side they were fighting for. The most important result of his work was an international treaty called the Geneva Convention(日内瓦协定). It protects prisoners of war, the sick and wounded, and other citizens during a war.
    The American Red Cross was set up by Clara Barton in 1881. Today the Red Cross in the United States provides a number of services for the public, such as helping people in need, teaching first aid and providing blood.

    A child who has once been pleased with a tale likes, as a rule, to have it retold in almost the same words, but this should not lead parents to treat printed fairy stories as formal texts. It is always much better to tell a story than read it out of a book, and, if a parent can produce what, in the actual situation of the time and the child, is an improvement on the printed text, so much the better.

       A charge made against fairy tales is that they harm the child by frightening him or making him sad thinking. To prove the latter, one would have to show in a controlled experiment that children who have read fairy stories were more often sorry for cruelty than those who had not. As to fears, there are, I think, some cases of children being dangerously terrified by some fairy story. Often, however, this arises(出现) from the child having heard the story once. Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fear into the pleasure of a fear faced and mastered.

    There are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are not objectively true, that giants, witches, two-headed dragons, magic carpets, etc. do not exist; and that, instead of being fond of the strange side in fairy tales, the child should be taught to learn the reality by studying history. I find such people, I must say so peculiar(奇怪的) that I do not know how to argue with them. If their case were sound, the world should be full of mad men attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a stick or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their beloved girl-friend.

    No fairy story ever declared to be a description of the real world and no clever child has ever believed that it was.

    41. The author considers that a fairy story is more effective when it is _______.

    A. repeated without any change          B. treated as a joke

    C. made some changes by the parent      D. set in the present

    42. According to the passage, great fear can take place in a child when the story is _______.

    A. in a realistic setting                   B. heard for the first time

    C. repeated too often                       D. told in a different way

    43. The advantage claimed(提出) for repeating fairy stories to young children is that it _______.

    A. makes them less fearful

    B. develops their power of memory

    C. makes them believe there is nothing to be afraid of

    D. encourages them not to have strange beliefs

    44. The author’s mention of sticks and telephones is meant to suggest that _______.

    A. fairy stories are still being made up

    B. there is some misunderstanding about fairy tales

    C. people try to modernize old fairy stories

    D. there is more concern for children's fears nowadays

    45. One of the reasons why some people are not in favor of fairy tales is that _______.

    A. they are full of imagination

    B. they just make up the stories which are far from the truth

    C. they are not interesting

    D. they make teachers of history difficult to teach

    The rise of multinational corporations （跨国公司）, global marketing, new communications technologies, and shrinking cultural differences have led to an unparalleled increase in global public relations or PR.
    Surprisingly, since modern PR was largely an American invention, America’s relations is being threatened by PR efforts in other countries. Ten years ago, for example, the world’s top five public relations agencies were American-owned. In 1991, only one was. The British in particular are becoming more sophisticated and creative. A recent survey found that more than half of all British companies include PR as part of their corporate （公司的） planning activities, compared to about one-third of U.S. companies. It may not be long before London replaces New York as the capital of PR.
    Why is America lagging behind in the global PR race? First, Americans as a whole tend to be fairly provincial and take more of an interest in local affairs. Knowledge of world geography, for example, has never been strong in this country. Secondly, Americans lag behind their European and Asian counterparts （相对应的人） in knowing a second language. Less than 5 percent of Burson—Marshall’s U.S.employees know two languages. Ogilvy and Mather have about the same percentage. Conversely, some European firms have half or more of their employees fluent in a second language. Finally, people involved in PR abroad tend to keep a closer eye on international affairs. In the financial PR area, for instance, most Americans read the Wall Street Journal. Overseas, their counterparts read the Journal as well as the Financial Times of London and The Economist, publications not often read in this country.
    Perhaps the PR industry might take a lesson from Ted Turner of CNN （Cable News Network）. Turner recently announced that the word “foreign” would no longer be used on CNN news broadcasts. According to Turner, global communications have made the nations of the world so interdependent that there is no longer any such thing as foreign.

    1. 1.

      Compared with the American PR personnel, what is/are an advantage（s） of the non-Americans involved in PR?

      1. A.
        They tend to be more internationally minded
      2. B.
        They speak more and better foreign languages.
      3. C.
        They usually pay more attention to global financial situation.
      4. D.
        Both A and B.
    2. 2.

      What is the immediate cause of the downfall of America’s public relations?

      1. A.
        The number of US public relations agencies had greatly decreased by 1991.
      2. B.
        Other countries have increased their efforts in public relations.
      3. C.
        On the global scale, cultural differences have significantly shrunk.
      4. D.
        The British companies are becoming especially sophisticated and creative in public relations.
    3. 3.

      It could be inferred that the author of the passage is______.

      1. A.
        an American
      2. B.

    The United States is already one year into a depression That was the news this week from the Na-tional Bureau of Economic Research. The downturn is the longest since a depression that began in 1981and lasted sixteen months.
    Economists generally wait for production to shrink for six months in a row before they declare a re-cession. But the bureau, a private group, uses a wider set of information to measure the economy. Thenews only confirmed what many people already knew: that the world's largest economy is weak and maynot recover soon.
    Worsening conclitions have led to a big drop in spending, especially on costly products like new cars. Even Japanese automaker Toyota saw its sales fall thirty - four percent in the United States in November from a year ago.
    The heads of Chrysler, Ford and General Motors retumed to Congress this week to again ask for federal aid.  Congressional leaders denounced(指责) them two weeks ago after they came in private jets with no clear plans for saving their industry. This time, the chiefs drove to Washington in fuel- saving hybrid vehicles. And their companies presented detailed restructuring plans. The reguest for aid has risen from twenty-five billion dollars two weeks ago to thirty-four billion in loans and credit lines.
    G.M. wants almost half of that, and says it needs four billion dollars this month. It warned that without support it cannot continue to operate.
    Ford is in a better position, But the sharing of suppliers means it could be affected if G.M. or
    Chrysler fails. Ford is asking for a nine billion dollar credit line in case it needs it.
    Chrysler is the smallest and most trouble of America's Big Three. It says it needs a seven billion dollar loan by the end of the month.
    Two days of congressional hearings began Thursday in the Senate Banking Committee. The chairman, Democrat Chris Dodd, said he would support helping the automakers for the good of the economy.
    But the committee's top Republican, Richard Shelby, continued to express opposition to a bailout(贿政援助）.
    A main root of the world financial crisis is the weak housing market in the United States. The Trea-sury Department has been under pressure to help troubled homeowners. Now comes news that the depart-ment is developing a plan aimed at reducing interest rates on mortgage loans(汽车贷款) for some buyers of homes. That could be good for homeowners trying to sell.

    The Elysee Palace in France enjoys equal popularity in the world with the Buckingham Palace in the United Kingdom, the Kremlin in Russia as well as the White House in the U. S. It is the residence of the president of the French Republic and the symbol of the supreme authority in France.
    The Elysee palace, with an area of 11,000 square metres, is at the eastern end of the Champs Elysee in the city of Paris proper and backed by a large and peaceful garden of more than twenty thousand square metres. Its main building, quite handsome and graceful, is a two-story classical stone architecture of European style, and beside it are two side buildings facing each other and with an extensive rectangular courtyard in the middle. There are altogether 369 halls and rooms of different sizes.

It had later gone through many changes and its owners had been changed for many times, but all the residents in it were distinguished persons and high officials. The house was renamed Bonaparte Mansion when it was owned by Louis X V and Louis X VI successively when they acted as emperors. Napoleon I signed his act of abdication here when he had suffered defeat in the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. Nopoleon III moved in the   Mansion in 1848 when he was elected president, and the house became a Royal Palace when he declared himself as emperor. The Third French Republic issued a decree in 1873, appointing officially the Elysee Palace as the residence president of the French Republic. Over the hundred years since then, almost all the president of the French Republic worked and lived there. Starting from 1989, the Elysee Palace is open to the public every year in September on the French Castles Day.

    The use of the word imitation（模仿） reminds me that we ought to make some more comments on the risk of people imitating what they see on the screen in the way of crime（犯罪） or violence.First there was always a risk of children acting out scenes which could be dangerous.For example,I remember a woman who was head of a middle school telling me that she had happened to look out of her window when the children were on the playground and had seen them putting a small boy on a chair with a rope round his neck and the rope over the branch of a tree;fortunately she was in time to get there before the child was hanged.I remember a film in particular in which the hero who was imprisoned had escaped by electrocuting（通电触死） his guard,the technique of doing this being shown in detail.This was the kind of scene which we could cut for these reasons.
    In films for young people and adults we always tried to keep off the screen the details of criminal techniques,such as how to open a locked door with a piece of hard plastic or how to open a safe;if we were consulted（请教） before production,I used to advise that the details should not be shown.When I gave talks in prisons about film checking I had full support for this,since fathers who were in prison for criminal offences did not want their children to get on crime.
    Every time I gave a talk in a prison someone used to mention the French film Rififi.made by Jules Dassin in 1954.This remarkable film showed in great detail a robbery of a jeweller’s shop,the robbery lasting about half an hour and being backed by only natural sound...one of the most brilliant film sequences（连续镜头） of all time.I remember our discussion at the time.We thought that the robbery was finished only with the use of advanced and obviously expensive equipment and that only the most experienced and skilled criminals could possibly imitate it;we believed therefore that it was relatively safe.When talking in prisons some years later I learned that there had been several robberies in which the techniques had been copied,so perhaps we were wrong.

    1. 1.

      The writer thinks that______.

      1. A.
        the details of the criminal technique should be kept
      2. B.
        the details of the crime should not be shown on the screen
      3. C.
        children should not imitate what they see on the screen
      4. D.
        it is dangerous to imitate what they see on the screen
    2. 2.

      What is the writer’s attitude（态度） towards the film in which the hero had escaped by electrocuting the guard?

      1. A.
        The writer likes it very much.
      2. B.
        The writer is strongly against it.
      3. C.
        The writer thinks the film has some value.
      4. D.
        The writer does not show his/her attitude.
    3. 3.

      All the following statements about“Rififi”are true EXCEPT______.

      1. A.
        that the robbery shown needs experience and skills
      2. B.
        that some very good tools were used in the robbery
      3. C.
        that the film showed the technique in detail
      4. D.
        that the technique of the robbery was not imitated
    4. 4.

      It can be inferred from the passage that______.

      1. A.
        it is hard for children to tell the differences between real life and the imaginary
      2. B.
        only people in prison support film checking
      3. C.
        only children imitate what they have seen on the screen

    Some of the world’s most famous persons had suffered from a similar disability, such as Albert Einstein, the mathematician; Thomas Edison, the inventor; Auguste Rodin, the artist. What disabled these three famous men? Strange as it may seem, they all suffered from learning disabilities. They had great difficulty learning to read, write or use numbers. Almost always, there is a problem with one of the mental processes needed to understand or use written signs or spoken language. Yet he or she is unable to recognize difference in sizes, shapes or sounds that are easy for others to recognize. Learning disabilities are very common. They affect perhaps 10 percent of all children. Four times as many boys as girls have learning disabilities.
    Since about 1970, new research has helped brain scientists understand these problems better. Scientists now know there are many different kinds of learning disabilities and that they are caused by many different things. There is no longer any question that all learning disabilities result from differences in the way the brain is organized.
    You can not look at a child and tell if he or she has a learning disability. There is no outward （外部的） signs of disorder （混乱）. So some researchers began looking at the brain itself to learn what might be wrong. In one study, researchers examined the brain of a learning-disabled person who had died in an accident. They found two unusual things. One involved cells in the left side of the brain, which control language. These cells normally are white. In the learning-disabled person’s brain, however, these cells were gray . The researchers also found that many of the nerve cells were not in a line the way they should have been. The nerve cells were mixed together.

    1. 1.

      How can we learn whether a person has suffered from a learning disability or not?

      1. A.
        By judging whether she or he sees or hears perfectly well.
      2. B.
        By checking whether he or she is of normal or great intelligence.
      3. C.
        By judging whether he or she is the world’s most famous person or not.
      4. D.
        By judging whether he or she has any difficulty in recognizing the difference in sizes, shapes or sounds.
    2. 2.

      Which of the following statements is TRUE?

      1. A.
        Among the children suffering from learning disabilities, girls are fewer than boys.
      2. B.
        It is reported that many more girls have learning disabilities than boys.
      3. C.
        All the world’s most famous persons have the chance to get the similar disorder. 
      4. D.
        All the world’s most famous persons have suffered from learning disabilities.
    3. 3.

      Why did researchers examine the brain of a learning-disabled person who had died in an accident?

      1. A.
        To try to look at the brain itself to find out the cause of learning disabilities.
      2. B.
        To see if the person had any outward signs of disorder.
      3. C.
        To check if the person is of normal or great intelligence.
      4. D.
        To find out if the person suffered from a learning disability.
    4. 4.

      If someone has a learning disability, _______.

      1. A.
        his or her nerve cells are in a line
      2. B.
        he or she is able to recognize difference in sizes, shapes or sounds
      3. C.
        he or she has no difficulty in learning to read, write or use numbers
      4. D.
        his or her nerve cells in the left side of the brain are gray and are not in a line
