Today, traditional opinions about men still exist. A man has to be strong, brave, sports loving and manly. Anything less would not be considered manly. Sports such as football, basketball and boxing all tend (往往是) to be men’s sports. However, the dance of ballet is considered feminine because it requires nice movements. This tradition is shown in the movie, Billy Elliot.
Billy Elliot is a movie that protests against this traditional view of men. Billy Elliot is an eleven-year-old boy that has a natural talent for ballet dancing, but his father will not allow it. Billy’s father wants him to take up boxing and become stronger, but Billy goes against his father’s wishes and takes up ballet dancing. This difference of opinion makes Billy sad. What’s more, his friends also laugh at him.
After saving enough money, his father sends Billy to a weekly boxing course; however, Billy doesn’t enjoy boxing because he always loses in matches and is often hurt. His ballet teacher, Mrs. Wilkinson thinks that men or women should not be judged by the activities they like to do, so she tells Billy’s father that although he wants his son to make a good living, he should let his son do what he loves to do because he has a talent for it. When his father finally realizes the truth, Billy is surprised. In the end, with the help of his father, brother and all the people around him, Billy goes to the Royal Ballet Academy in London and becomes a very successful ballet dancer.

【解析】父母应该让孩子做自己喜欢的事情，而不是压抑孩子的天性。
1.猜测词义题。根据上文的boxing all tend (往往是) to be men’s sports.可知拳击被认为是男性的运动，那么芭蕾就被认为是女性的运动。
2.推理题。根据文章第二段可知芭蕾被认为是女性的运动，所以当Billy学习芭蕾的时候，男孩都嘲笑他。
3.根据文章第三段2,3行Mrs. Wilkinson thinks that men or women should not be judged by the activities they like to do…可知他的老师一直在鼓励他从事芭蕾事业。
4.推理题。通读全文可知父母应该让孩子做自己喜欢的事情，而不是压抑孩子的天性。

［1］Today, millions of people want to learn or improve their English but it is difficult to find the best method．Is it better to study in Britain or America or to study in your own country?
［2］The advantages of going to Britain seem obvious．Firstly, you will be able to listen to the language all the time you are in the country．You will be surrounded completely by the language wherever you go．Another advantage is that you have to speak the language if you are with other people．In Italy,it is always possible, in the class, to speak Italian if you want to and the learning is slower．
［3］On the other hand, staying at home to study．You don’t have to make big changes to your life．As well as this,it is also a lot cheaper than going to Britain but it is never possible to achieve the results of living in the UK．If you have a good teacher in Italy,I think you can learn in a more concentrated way than being in Britain without going to a school．
［4］So,in conclusion,I think that if you have enough time and enough money, the best choice is to spend some time in the UK．This is simply not possible for most people, so being here in Italy is the only（可行的）viable option．The most important thing to do in this situation is to maximise your opportunities:to speak only English in class and to try to use English whenever possible outside the class．

In this century the traditional American family is constantly faced with the threat of breakdown. Some people suggest that one little – noticed cause may be the introduction of the TV dinner.
Before the appearance of television seats, the American dinner was a big event for the family. In many homes dinner time may be the only time when everyone got together. A typical dinner was usually in three periods In the preparation period, the children and Father frequently helped with setting while Mother put the last touches on the roast. In the eating period, family members shared the day’s experiences and more than food was eaten. In this period,families got to know one another and made joint decisions around the dinner table, and thus the family solidarity（团结） was strengthened. In the cleaning – up period,children or Father again gave their hands, so that their meaning to the home community was clear. Unfortunately, all of these have been abandoned by a product—the television set.
By the beginning of the 1980s, the typical American family dinner was just twenty minutes long. The speed – up of this once – leisurely experiences is clearly connected to the overall pace of modern life and maybe a model of the modern life is the TV dinners—meals designed to be used between the opening and closing credits of a half – hour program. The once family affair has now become nothing more than the use of a fork and knife.

A. Being poor B. having few children C. poor living conditions D. separation

A. spend more time eating their food at dinner table

C. spend more time talking about their day’s experience at dinner table
D. talk so much that they forgot to eat

A. the TV programs B. the pace of modern life
C. the wide use of household appliances D. the popularity of fast food

阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题。（请注意问题后的字数要求）
Just like the United States，Britain is divided into different areas. Britain is one of the most diverse nations in Europe with over 250 different languages being spoken in London alone. With such a various culture，adapting to it can be a challenge for anyone. Following these steps should be of great help to you.
Forget the stereotypes (成见). Many of the long formed stereotypes simply have nothing to do with Britain today. Don't think that everyone enjoys drinking tea or beer. Abandoning some old ideas of people and culture will allow you to be more open-minded and easily get into the culture.
Understand the differences. Britain is made up of different areas that have their different traditions and languages. Understanding different cultures will help you avoid making mistakes.
Get used to small spaces. The US is a huge country where people are used to bigger cars, houses and spaces .__________, Britain does not have the luxury of space. Houses，apartments and cars are all smaller than you are used to，so trying to become familiar with smaller areas is very necessary.
Be polite. Always apologize for knocking into someone， even if it was their fault. Respect people's personal space and always wait in line. Bill Brysons' book Notes from a small island is filled with many useful tips.
Accept the jokes. One of the most confusing aspects of British culture is humor. Kidding，teasing，or "taking the mick" are all ways to describe making fun of someone but this isn't necessarily a bad thing. Playing tricks on someone is a common way to show affection. As Britons usually put it，"you never make fun of someone you don't like".
