    I heard many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling. I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own two feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them are clutching (紧握) at one another’s hands for reassurance.
    They claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music. But somehow they all end up huddled (聚在一起) round listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in thus-and-such a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon (蚕茧) into a larger cocoon.
    It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry has firmly carved out a teenage market. These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. And many of today’s parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children. All this adds up to a great barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.
    But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don’t care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come — with the people who respect you for who you are. That is the only kind of popularity that really counts.
    小题1: In this passage, the author wants to tell _______.
    A．readers to try to be popular with people around
    B．teenagers to try to pursue their real selves
    C．parents to try to control and guide their children
    D．people to try to understand and respect each other
    小题2:The author disapproves of rebelling teenagers _______.
    A．growing away from their parentsB．turning to their friends for help
    C．walking a new way on their ownD．following the popularity trend
    小题3:The phrase “a larger cocoon” at the end of the second paragraph refers to _______.
    A．the distractive and variable societyB．the popularity wave in the society
    C．the parental care and loveD．the dazzling music world
    小题4:What does the author think of advertisements?
    A．Convincing.B．Instructive.C．Influential.D．Authoritative.
    小题5:According to the author, what might happen when a teenager stands up against the popularity wave and follows his/her own path?
    A．He/She gains valuable popularity.B．He/She loses good friends.
    C．He/She faces all kinds of criticism.D．He/She falls behind the time.

    One summer my friend and I decided to go to Italy for a holiday and we decided to travel there without going through a travel agency. You know, you would be submerged (淹没) in crowds of tourists and lose lots of opportunities to get familiar with the country more closely. We started to think over our trip and managed to come up with a free tour of Italy.
    The trip was not very long but it was still very impressive. We look forward to going there again! Of course, we spent lots of time arranging the trip, but it was well worth it! Of course I was afraid that something would go wrong and I was especially anxious about my visa, but everything went quite smoothly in the end.
    The most difficult part was getting a visa without an invitation. In the Italian consulate(领事馆), one must hand in some official paper proving that one has a hotel booked for oneself in order to get the visa. Then we had to solve the ticket problem. Airlines often sell cheap tickets and we bought ours far in advance. The next step was to book a hotel. We finally booked a hotel about thirty km away from the heart of Rome and it was the perfect choice for our trip.
    Every day we took a train that carried us to the heart of Rome. Our big house, which was surrounded by the forest, was a rare girl for the fresh air and absolute silence, beautiful views, hospitable (好客的) hosts, comfortable living conditions delighted us to no end. Besides this, we were very lucky that our mistress was Russian. She gave us a lot of advice that was of great use. She told us what transport to choose and where the best places to go.
    Don’t be afraid to arrange your trip by yourself. It’s not difficult! The only thing I'll say right now is that we really enjoyed traveling by ourselves. We walked with a map and a guide-book to wherever we wanted and we even met some of our fellow countrymen on the way just two or three times. So, if you're also planning a "single" trip, don't forget to take a Russian-Italian phrasebook as people in Italy prefer to speak in their native tongue.
    小题1: Why does the author want to go to Italy again?
    A．He had a great time there.
    B．Italy has a lot of attractions.
    C．His friend invited him there.
    D．He didn't stay in Italy long enough.
    小题2:What does the author think was the hardest in preparing for his Italian trip?
    A．Buying cheap airline tickets to Italy before the traveling
    B．Getting a visa without an invitation from the Italian consulate.
    C．Booking a comfortable hotel on his own in Rome.
    D．Solving the ticket problem far in advance.
    小题3: In the fourth paragraph the author mainly explains
    A．the reason why he chose to live in the center of Rome
    B．the reason why the hotel he booked was the right choice
    C．what transport they chose to travel in their Italian trip
    D．the reason why the mistress gave them some advice
    小题4:Which of the following questions has NOT been answered in the passage?
    A．Why did the author decide to go to Italy for a holiday for the first time?
    B．Why did the author decide not to follow a travel agency?
    C．How did the author prepare for his trip?
    D．What tools did the author use for his traveling?
    小题5: From the text we can know the author
    A．enjoys traveling everywhere in the world
    B．likes being accompanied by tour guides
    C．advises us to arrange trips by ourselves
    D．met with a lot of his countrymen in Italy

                I decided early in my college years that I wanted to experience living abroad before entering in the real world. During my senior year, while most of my friends were interviewing for “real world” jobs, I was investigating how I could go work in a different country. At that early stage of my inquiry I was pretty open about where to go and what kind of work to undertake. My desire to live abroad was so strong that I was willing to do anything anywhere.
    Soon I learned about BUNAC, a program that seemed to be designed precisely for student with such interests. BUNAC offers work visas ( 签证 ) for students or recent graduates to work overseas. Of the six countries available, I chose England because of the language and opportunities for employment.
    Two months after I graduated from college I went to Britain. I traveled throughout Europe for six weeks before arriving in London. I got to London on August 24, 1997 with a work visa, but no job or place to live. I have to admit it was pretty scary! The day after I arrived, I experienced my first British holiday --- a Bank Holiday, a national holiday that everything is closed for the day. It wasn’t until my third day that I visited the BUNAC office and I learned all about living and working in Britain, paying taxes, getting health insurance, traveling around Britain, finding accommodations and most importantly, finding a job. I was most scared about finding a job since my financial resources were running low and I needed to get my pay soon.
    It turned out that finding a job was not so difficult. The BUNAC program is very well known in London and many employers participate in the program. As a result there are many employers in many different fields to choose from. My job search began when I chose three different business employers and faxed them my resume (简历). That first week I had three interviews. I accepted my first offer working for Merrill Lynch International Bank. The Merrill Lynch office I worked at was in a beautiful, old building located two blocks from Buckingham Palace. The people were nice and the work interesting.
    It was easy to adjust to life in London. And there is so much to see that after six months exploring I probably covered only half of what I intended.
    小题1: When the author studied at college she decided _________.
    A．to enter the “real world” after graduation
    B．to go and work in a foreign country
    C．to settle in a different country
    D．to find a job in the home country
    小题2:The author chose England because ______.
    A．it is a beautiful country and people there are nice
    B．England is spoken there and it is easy to find a job
    C．it is in Europe, not far from her own country
    D．the BUNAC office is located there
    小题3: After the author arrived in London, what worried her most was ________.
    A．getting a jobB．buying health insurance
    C．traveling around BritainD．finding a place to live
    小题4:Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?
    A．A Trip to BritainB．What I Want to Be
    C．Living in a Different CountryD．My Work Experience

      The trend in everyday conversation is to use grandiose(夸大的)words．“Outstanding” is the
    new “good,”  “amazing” is the new “OK, ” and “huge” is the new “big.”
    I was in a restaurant in Washington D．C．last weekend and every question I asked was answered with exaggeration．
    Me：How is the salmon?
    Sever：Fantastic!
    Me：Does it come with rice?
    Sever：Absolutely!
    Would a “good” and a “yes” have been enough? Of course!
    My father is an average-sized man．He hasn’t gained weight or height for the past 30 years. Therefore, his size remains the same．However，in the same amount of time，his T-shirt size has gone from small to medium to large to extra large．
    The reason for the exaggerated word is clear：we are bored with our lives. We want the next
    —next thing now．Immediately!
    And we also want others to think that we still care，that we can still be delighted，that we know that everything is just great．Even when deep inside we know it can’t be．Everything can’t be great．
    I’m not a scientist，so many methods of proof leave little to be desired，or a lot to be desired，or an immensity(无限)．   
    Listen to the voices around you．Listen to your own voices．There is nothing on the radio that is good or bad，weather is either beautiful or horrible．
    Listen，the next time when someone asks you something and you agree，because when you
    could simply say “yes”, instead you will say “absolutely’’ or “without doubt ” or “Oh，yeah，unquestionably ---- absolutely without doubt."
    Have people forgotten what it is like to be OK? Simply OK with what they have and who they are? If everything is outstanding，if everything is the most amazing thing ever，is anything ever amazing at all?
    小题1:By telling his experience in the restaurant，the author intends to ________．
    A．show his interest in exaggerated words
    B．prove that exaggerated words are widely used
    C．blame the restaurant for using exaggerated words
    D．tell us the food in the restaurant is extremely good
    小题2:What do we know about the author’s father?
    A．He has gained height and is now a tall man．
    B．He likes following the fashion in clothing．
    C．His weight is getting greater and greater．
    D．The size of his T-shirt is described in exaggerated words．
    小题3:．So many people like using exaggerated words because_________．
    A．they are not satisfied with being normal
    B．they don’t want to be looked down upon by others
    C．they want to be different from others
    D．they are brave in telling their true feelings

    A former colleague asked a favor．A group of students was going to Jamaica to work withchildren in the poorest neighbourhood．Would I interrupt my newfound "happiness" and returnto the students, just this once? One trip．That's all．My bags were packed and by the door．
    The trip was very inspiring．I was moved not only by the poverty I saw but also by thesense of responsibility of the young people on the trip．When I returned home, I offered to workone day a week with a local youth organization．The experience was so positive that I was soonvolunteering nearly full-time, working with students across North America to assist them intheir voluntary work．
    Now，it seems, the tables have turned ．Some days I am the teacher, other days I am thestudent．These young people have reawakened my commitment to social justice issues bychallenging me to learn more about the situation in the world today, where people are still poorand suffer because of greed, corruption and war．Most importantly, they have given me theopportunity to continue to participate in helping to find solutions．In return, I help them do theircharitable projects overseas．I've gone from running one school to helping oversee theconstruction of schools in twenty-one countries!
