    I’m not so sure I like my friends any more. I used to like them-to be honest. We’d have lunch, talk on the phone or exchange emails, and they all seemed normal enough. But then came Face Book, and I was introduced to a sad fact: many of my friends have dark sides that they had kept from me.
    Today my friends show off the more unpleasant aspects of their personalities via FaceBook. No longer hidden, they’re thrown in my face like TV commercials -unavoidable and endless advertisements for the worst of their personalities.
    Take Fred. If you were to have lunch with him, you’d find him warm, and self-effacing（谦逊的）.Read his FaceBook and you’ll realize he’s an unbearable, food-obsessed boring man. He’d pause to have a cup of coffee on his way to save a drowning man-and then write about it.
    Take Andy. You won’t find a smarter CEO anywhere, but now he’s a CEO without a company to run. So he plays Mafia Wars on FaceBook. He’s doing well-level 731. Thanks to FaceBook, I know he’s playing about 18 hours a day. Andy, you’ve run four companies-and this is how you spend your downtime? What happned to golf?What happened to getting another job?
    Take Liz. She is positive that the flu vaccine will kill us all and that we should avoid it. And then comes Chris who likes to post at least 20 times a day on every website he can find, so I get to read his thoughts twice, once on FaceBook and once on Twitter.
    In real life, I don’t see these sides of people. Face to face, my friends show me their best. They’re nice, smart people. But face to FaceBook, my friends is like a blind date which goes horribly wrong.
    I’m left with a dilemma. Who is my real friend?Is it the Liz I have lunch with or the anti-vaccine madman on FaceBook? Is it the Fred I can grab a sandwich with or the Fred who weeps if he’s at a party and the wine isn’t up to his standard?
    小题1: Who is opposed to the flu vaccine in the text?
    A．FredB．AndyC．LizD．Chris
    小题2:What’s Andy probably busy in doing now?
    A．He’s running his company
    B．He’s playing golf all day
    C．He’s looking for another job
    D．He’s playing computer games
    小题3:According to the text, FaceBook tends to _______.
    A．present another side of people
    B．offer some foods for free
    C．show endless advertisements
    D．get you to more parties
    小题4:The text is developed mainly by _____.
    A．giving examplesB．following the time order
    C．listing figuresD．raising questions

    小题1:C
    小题2:D
    小题3:A
    小题4:A

    试题分析：文章大意是讲自从有了FaceBook之后，朋友们的变化。以前朋友会一起吃饭、聊天或者相互打电话，发短信。而如今即使在一起，也只是应付着，时不时地去玩一下他们的FaceBook，让作者不得不怀疑自己是不是没有朋友了。
    小题1:细节理解题。文章第五段第一句话Take Liz. She is positive that the flu vaccine will kill us all and that we should avoid it.她肯定地认为流感疫苗将会把我们所有人杀死，因此我们应该避免种植。故选C。
    小题2:细节理解题。文章第四段第一、二句话but now he’s a CEO without a company to run. So he plays Mafia Wars on FaceBook.但是他现在是个没有公司的CEO，所以正在FaceBook.上玩黑手党战争游戏。故选D。
    小题3:推理判断题。文章第一段最后一句But then came FaceBook, and I was introduced to a sad fact: many of my friends have dark sides that they had kept from me.然后就有了FaceBook，我被告知了一个悲哀的事实：我的许多朋友都有一面一直没被我发现的阴暗面。故选A。

    Last night I drove a long way (about 500 km) to return home. It was late and I was driving fast because I wanted to get home as soon as possible. So several times when I was driving behind a slow-moving truck on a narrow road, I wanted to shout at the driver ahead.
    Then I came to a crossroad with a traffic light. As I drove near, it turned red. I stopped my car at once. I looked left，right and behind. I found no cars or persons — I was alone on the road. The person who would come to the crossroad was at least a mile away in any direction. Certainly going through the light would cause no danger. I could pass the traffic light. But strangely enough, I just stopped there, waiting for several minutes until the light went green. I asked myself why I refused to run the light. Surely it was unnecessary for me to be afraid of danger or being fined (罚款), because there were no cars or police around at all. But I remained waiting until the light changed.
    When I finally got home, it was near midnight. My wife had fallen asleep. The question of why I stopped for that light came back to me again, because I stopped another two times for the red lights as “special” as the first one. I stopped, not because of the law, but because it was a good habit I had developed. In fact, we were used to doing something right just because we have made obeying the rules a good habit. We do it just because we should do it. I thought if another man met with the same thing, he would make the same choice. I believed so. And I could be trusted (信任) by others. I believed that everyone would and could control (控制) himself/herself well. It was amazing that we trusted each other to do the right things, wasn’t it?
    小题1:When the author drove behind the slow-moving truck, he felt ____.
    A．confused but happyB．sleepy and tiredC．excited but tiredD．angry and worried
    小题2:Who made the author stopped at the crossroad?
    A．A policeman.B．The author’s wife.C．The author himself.D．Another driver.
    小题3:The author waited until the light went green because ____.
    A．running the light would make him finedB．he was afraid to cause an accident
    C．he was prevented by the passers-byD．he was used to obeying traffic rules
    小题4:The author is a person who ____.
    A．believes others easily B．can control himself well
    C．treats others very unfriendly D．is very experienced in driving
    小题5: We can infer from the passage that ____.
    A．running the light could help the author get home earlier
    B．the author’s wife was angry because he got home late
    C．the truck driver in front of the author might be drunk
    D．it was very necessary to have very strict traffic rules

    Fun is, in fact , a word heard far more frequently in families today than in the past , when “duty”and “responsibility ”were often the words used.Parents today are more youthful in appearance and attitudes. Their clothes and hair-styles are more casual, helping to bridge the divide. Those who are athletically inclined also enjoy Rollerblading, snowboarding, and rock-climbing with their children.
    For the past three years, Kathy and Phil Dalby have spent at least one evening a week at a climbing gym with their three children. "It's great to be able to work together," Mrs Dalby says. "We discuss various climbs and where the hard parts are. Sometimes that leads to other Conversations. We're definitely closer."
    A popular movement of parent effectiveness training in the 1970s has helped to reshape generational roles. The philosophy encourages children to describe their feelings about various situations. As a result, says Robert Billingham, a family-studies professor at Indiana University, "Parents and children began talking to each other in ways they had not before."
    On the plus side, he adds, these conversations made parents realize that children may have important thoughts or feelings that adults need to be aware of.
    But Professor Billingham also sees a downside: Many parents started making decisions based on what their child wanted. "The power shifted to children. Parents said, 'I have to focus on making my child happy', as opposed to 'I have to act as a parent most appropriately'."
    Other changes are occurring as the ranks of working mothers grow.  Time-short parents encourage children's independence, making them more responsible for themselves. "They'll say, 'We trust you to make the right decisions' (whether they're ready to assume the responsibility or not) ,"says Billingham.
    The self-esteem movement of the past quarter-century has also affected the family dynamics (原动力). Some parents worry that if they tell their child no, it will hurt the child's self-esteem.
    小题1:What's the trend in parent-child relationship mentioned in the passage?
    A．Parents are chasing after fashion and ignoring the feelings of their children.
    B．More parents and children are sharing the same enthusiasm for a certain sport.
    C．Parents are taking more responsibility and setting more limits for their children.
    D．The generation gap is narrowing and parents are respecting their children's thoughts more.
    小题2:Which of the following has NOT contributed to the change in the parent-child relationship?
    A．Younger parents.B．Parent effectiveness training.
    C．More working mothers.D．The self-esteem movement.
    小题3:What's the best title for the text?
    A．Parents and Children as Friends.
    B．Parents and Professors as Debaters.
    C．Growing Mutual Understanding.
    D．Disappearing Responsibility.

    On Sept. 11, an unseen enemy launched an attack on economic, military and governmental
    Landmarks(标志) of the United States.
    Beyond the tremendous(巨大的) loss of innocent lives and physical property, the attack was clearly aimed at the ideals of America—our values and the economic system that has made the U.S. economy the envy of the world.
    Those responsible for these acts portray(描绘)the United States as the embodiment(化身)of all that is evil
    With globalization and the worldwide economy it has spawned. They use the failures of globalization as an excuse to exploit their millions of constituents in the underdeveloped world.
    Sometime soon, the U.S. military will strike back against those who it is determined have committed these acts. A military response is appropriate – some would say overdue(期待已久). But even if the military objective is achieved, that alone will not get to the heart of the matter.
    It is crucial that the U.S. economy return to full speed ahead and continue to be the driving force behind expansion of the global economy.
    Globalization, or at least the present phase of it, generally is viewed as having started with the end of the Cold War in 1989. And for all its shortcomings, the free flow of goods, services, capital and labor across the borders of the world’s trading nations — the process that has come to be called globalization—still offers the best chance to fulfill the dreams of so many of the world’s poor.
    小题1:The attack on Sept. 11 caused _____.
    A．loss to both the military forces and the ordinary citizens in the U.S.
    B．a large variety of losses among the American people
    C．greater loss to the American government than the citizens
    D．less loss in the economy of the U.S. than the American ideals
    小题2:The unseen enemy launched the attack because ________.
    A．some people were jealous of the richness of the United States
    B．the development of globalization frightened those who were conservative
    C．everything evil might be thought to have something to do with the U.S.
    D．the United States was considered the most evil country all over the world
    小题3:According to the writer, a military response ________.
    A．will be successful very soon
    B．cannot make any sense to the matter
    C．is really hard to some extent
    D．will prove justifiable and necessary
    小题4:What benefit will the globalization be of?
    A．It will bring the expansion of the world’s economy.
    B．The poor will become rich overnight if it is realized.
    C．Nations will be too friendly to start a war against each other.
    D．The borders between the nations will be abandoned soon.
    小题5:What does the passage mainly talk about?
    A．Economical factors are of great importance in international affairs.
    B．The event on Sept. 11 has slowed down the process of globalization.
    C．Military forces are necessary in the course of the development of economy.
    D．The progress of globalization depends on the recovery of American economy.

    While many young people may resist getting a "real job" or becoming independent, these are the things that make you happy and give you purpose. Some people underestimate the satisfaction of working, thinking they'll be miserable. The 20-somethings that do work are happier than those who don' t or are underemployed.
    If you invest in your career early，you'll have longer to build it up. 70% of wage growth happens in the first 10 years, so you need to get the best job you can get and negotiate your salary. No one can be sure that people who will wait until their 30s to get going are expecting to experience later to catch up with those of their ages.
    Many 20-somethings don't know what they want to do, so they hang around the house or in. low-level jobs waiting for the spirit to move them. Not making a choice is a choice. These 20-somethings think they are keeping their options open, but they are actually closing doors. Resumes start to look thin, their peers(同龄人) begin surpassing them and they may get stuck in underemployment.
    It will take about 10,000 hours(or about five years)to really master their jobs. If you're wondering why colleagues seem so smart and confident, it's partly because they've been doing it longer. Young people should learn as much as they can in their first jobs and remember it will take some time to really get good.
    The 20-something brain is still developing, which is in charge of critical emotion with reason. This, coupled with less on-the-job experience, means 20-somethings are more sensitive to surprise and criticism. They are more likely to take feedback personally. Step back and get some perspective. You're not going to be fired because your boss is angry. Hear the criticism and learn from it.
    The brain doesn't fully mature until your mid-20s, particularly the parts that plan for the future and manage emotions. That doesn't mean you should sit around and wait for it to develop. In. fact, what you learn and experience in your 20s becomes hardwired into your brain and this is the best chance you have to change your brain and change how you think and react. What people do in their 20s determines who they'll be as adults.
    小题1:What is the best title of the passage?
    A．How You Spend Your 20s Will Define You.
    B．The 20-something Brain Remains To Be Developed.
    C．Young People Need Employment And Experiences.
    D．Becoming Mature Should Invest In The Career.
    小题2:What can we infer from the whole passage?
    A．Not all people resist becoming independent.
    B．Adult responsibilities make you happier.
    C．Not making a choice is a better policy
    D．It takes chances to get good jobs.
    小题3:What does the underlined part "coupled with" mean according to the passage?
    A．multiplied byB．recounted in.
    C．composed of.D．combined with.
    小题4:What idea does the writer of the passage support?
    A．Take feedback personally anytime and anywhere.
    B．It is never too late to wait till a choice is made.
    C．A lesson should be learned from criticism.
    D．The satisfaction of working is not contented.

    In Canada and the United States, there is a new group of children called “satellite kids”, who live in one place but whose parents live in another place．
    Asians are immigrating to Canada and the United States in larger numbers than ever before．Most Asians immigrate because they believe that they can give their children a better education in the West．In Asia, especially in China, Japan, and Korea, it is difficult to go to university．Students must first pass the strict national examination．However, in Canada and the United States, it is easy to go to university, and anyone who wants to go can go．As a result, Asian parents decide to leave their countries so that their children can go to university．
    The problem is that when Asians arrive, they discover that finding a job and making money are more difficult in the West than in the East．Also, they find that they are very lonely, and that they miss their homes．Because of these two reasons, most Asian parents decide to go back to work while their children study in the West．Therefore, these children become “satellite kids”, and most of their parents do not know how sad it is to be a “satellite kid”．
    Only until now are Canadians and Americans discovering the “satellite kid” problem．Because these children do not speak English and because their parents are not there to take care of them, they are often absent from school．To be a “satellite kid” means to grow up in a country where you know you are different and where you cannot make friends because you do not speak English well．Also, it means to grow up lonely, because your parents are elsewhere．What these “satellite kids” will probably say to their parents is that it’s better to have parents around than to have a university education．
    小题1:Some Asian parents send their kids abroad because ________．
    A．they hope their children may easily find a job there
    B．the kids may not be accepted by universities in their own countries
    C．all foreign universities are better than the ones in their own countries
    D．the kids want to improve their English and make foreign friends

    A．without patents
    B．living abroad alone
    C．with university education
    D．speaking no English
    小题3:Some Asian immigrant children become “satellite kids” because their parents ______．
    A．want to leave their own country
    B．want them to go to university
    C．return to their countries to work
    D．want them to be independent
    小题4: What is the main idea of the passage?
    A．Parents want better education for their kids．
    B．Parents feel lonely and miss their families．
    C．Canadians and Americans begin to notice the “satellite kids” problem．
    D．Kids in foreign countries alone are badly in need of care from family．

    Cleveland has won the distinction of being the worst city in the United States, according to a new survey. The city has high unemployment, terrible weather, heavy taxes, and ordinary sports teams, all of which have pushed it to the No. 1 position in the Forbes.com list.
    "Cleveland was the only city that fell in the bottom half of rankings in all nine categories. And it has been entitled with a less than endearing nickname: the Mistake by the lake," Forbes said on its website,
    The economic downturn hit cities across the United States last year particularly in the mid-west section of the country. Crime and unemployment secured the No. 2 spot for Stockton, which held the top position in last year's ranking. Memphis got third place thanks to its violent crime rate and the number of officials who are guilty, while the poor auto industry drove the Michigan cities of Detroit and Flint into the top five.
    "A lot of the cities that showed up on our list are going through hard times fight now, dealing with high unemployment, with declining producing bases. Many have experienced strong movement out of the city over the last 20 and 30 years."
    Despite (尽管) its fine weather, Miami scored in the bottom 10 percent in commuting (上下班往返) time, and violent crime which sent it into sixth place.
    "One of the biggest surprises is Miami. The good weather and no state income taxes blur some of the severe problems that Miami has related to crime as well as long commutes," Badenhausen added.
    Florida was followed in the poor ranking by St Louis, Buffalo, Canton, Ohio and Chicago, which has the country's highest sales tax at 10.25 percent. New York, the nation's biggest city, is rich in culture but its lengthy commuting time and high income taxes pushed it into 16th place.
    小题1:From the text we can learn that ______.
    A．Cleveland has been entitled a lovely nickname
    B．the economic downturn hit cities in the mid-east section
    C．Miami scored in the bottom 10 percent in all nine categories
    D．commuting time in New York is too long
    小题2:What information can be inferred according to the text?
    A．The number of officials who are guilty is large in Memphis.
    B．Stockton got second place in last year's ranking.
    C．High income taxes made New York get 16th place.
    D．Ohio has the country's highest sales tax.
    小题3:The word "blur" underlined in the last paragraph but one probably means ______.
    A．make it possibleB．make it unclearC．make if obviousD．make it important
    小题4:Which of the following is the correct ranking order?
    A．Cleveland, Detroit, Miami, Buffalo, Florida.
    B．Stockton, Miami, Flint, Florida, Canton.
    C．Cleveland, Stockton, Miami, Chicago, Florida.
    D．Stockton, Detroit, Miami, Florida, St Louis.
