    A  Preparation for taking a citizenship test

    B  Citizenship tests in European countries

    C  Cultural differences and conflicts

    D  New US Citizenship Test

    E  Different views on the new citizenship test

    F  Goal of the new citizenship test

     

    80.

     

    Last week, a sample of the new US citizenship exam was released by the US Citizenship and Immigration Services（US-CIS）. It will be tried out in 10 cities early next year to replace the current test in 2008. Instead of asking how many stripes the US flag has, as the current test does, the new one asks why there are l3 stripes. Instead of having to name the branches of government, an applicant is asked to explain why there are three.

    81.

     

    The newly released US citizenship exam has included more information and knowledge. People who take it need to know more about the adopted country and have a deeper insight into its culture and values. “The goal is to make it more meaningful.” explains Emilio Gonzalez, director of the US—CIS. Immigrants who pass it are expected to have a better “understanding and respect” for US civic values, Gonzalez says.  

    82.

     

    The US isn't the only country dealing with citizenship tests that aim to get a “shared commitment” from immigrants for their adopted country's “values”. In recent years, in addition to the usual requirement of language／work skills and economic status, several European countries have adopted citizenship tests. Britain introduced a new citizenship test last November. In March, a new Dutch law took effect requiring all would-be immigrants to take a citizenship test. It involved watching a video showing nude（裸体的）women bathing at beaches and gay（同性恋的）men kissing in public. The aim was to ensure that “newcomers will be comfortable with the country's liberal social mores（风俗）”.

    83.

     

    Europe has been known for welcoming immigrants for decades. But, today, the fact is that some immigrants are kept apart from local citizens by culture and they become hostile (敌对的) to each other. Promoting unity has become a major concern for European countries, after the rioting in Muslim ghettoes（少数民族聚居区）in France and the killing of Dutch public figures by religious extremists.

    84.

     

    Officials believe that a person's attachment to a country can be tested by his or her knowledge of the country. However, some critics say that the changes can do little to help people assimilate（同化）themselves. “Immigration is a culture war today. Is giving a new test the right way to lessen the accusations in that fight?” says Ali Noorani, of the Massachusetts Immigrant and Refugee Advocacy Coalition（难民辩护联盟）.

    The $11 billion self-help industry is built on the idea that you should turn negative thoughts like "I never do anything right" into positive ones like "I can succeed." But was positive thinking advocate Norman Vincent Peale right? Is there power in positive thinking?

    Researchers in Canada just published a study in the journal Psychological Science that says trying to get people to think more positively can actually have the opposite effect: it can simply highlight how unhappy they are.

    The study's authors, Joanne Wood and John Lee of the University of Waterloo and Elaine Perunovic of the University of New Brunswick, begin by citing older research showing that when people get feedback which they believe is overly positive, they actually feel worse, not better. If you tell your dim friend that he has the potential of an Einstein, you're just underlining his faults. In one 1990s experiment, a team including psychologist Joel Cooper of Princeton asked participants to write essays opposing funding for the disabled. When the essayists were later praised for their sympathy, they felt even worse about what they had written.

    In this experiment, Wood, Lee and Perunovic measured 68 students' self-esteem. The participants were then asked to write down their thoughts and feelings for four minutes. Every 15 seconds, one group of students heard a bell. When it rang, they were supposed to tell themselves, "I am lovable."

    Those with low self-esteem didn't feel better after the forced self-affirmation. In fact, their moods turned significantly darker than those of members of the control group, who weren't urged to think positive thoughts.

    The paper provides support for newer forms of psychotherapy (心理治疗) that urge people to accept their negative thoughts and feelings rather than fight them. In the fighting, we not only often fail but can make things worse. Meditation (静思) techniques, in contrast, can teach people to put their shortcomings into a larger, more realistic perspective. Call it the power of negative thinking.

    1.What do we learn from the first paragraph about the self-help industry?

    A．It is a highly profitable industry.

    B．It is based on the concept of positive thinking.

    C．It was established by Norman Vincent Peale.

    D．It has yielded positive results.

    2.What is the finding of the Canadian researchers?

    A．Encouraging positive thinking many do more harm than good.

    B．There can be no simple therapy for psychological problems.

    C．Unhappy people cannot think positively.

    D．The power of positive thinking is limited.

    3.What does the author mean by "… you're just underlining his faults" (Line 4, Para. 3)?

    A．You are not taking his mistakes seriously enough.

    B．You are pointing out the errors he has committed.

    C．You are emphasizing the fact that he is not intelligent.

    D．You are trying to make him feel better about his faults.

    4. What do we learn from the experiment of Wood, Lee and Perunovic?

    A. It is important for people to continually boost their self-esteem.

    B. Self-affirmation can bring a positive change to one's mood.

    C. Forcing a person to think positive thoughts may lower their self-esteem.

    D. People with low self-esteem seldom write down their true feelings.

    Directions: Complete the following passage by filling in each blank with one word that best fits the context.

    Baby survives after train hits pram

    The CCTV footage (片段）shows a baby’s pram (婴儿车)rolling off a train platform as the mother makes a mad rush to save her son,   48   she is too late and it falls   49   the rails in front of an incoming train. This heart-stopping scene happened yesterday at Ashburton station in Melbourne, Australia. But the story has a   50   ending: the six-month-old baby survived with just   51   cut on his forehead, although the pram was dragged about 35 meters by the braking train. The nurse Jon Wright said the boy just “needed a feed and a sleep”.

             “Luckily, he was strapped (绑) into his pram at the time, which probably saved   52  life. I think the child is extremely   53  ,” Wright told the Herald Sun newspaper after the baby was taken to hospital with minor injuries. The footage shows the mother taking her hands off the three-wheeled pram, which begins to roll   54  the platform edge. 

             The driver put on the brakes   55   he saw the pram fall in front of him and fortunately the train was already slowing down to stop at the station. Rail firm Connex is to look into how the pram rolled off the platform. The accident came one day after Connex started a child safety awareness campaign warning parents to keep babies strapped into their prams at all times while on platforms.
