    When you leave school，you can breathe sigh of relief and leave learning behind，right？Wrong！Learning should last a lifetime. You exercise your body to stay strong，and you should exercise your mind to stay sharp.

    An English idiom says，“You can’t teach an old dog new tricks.” But scientists have discovered that isn’t true. Older people can learn，and they should，in order to keep their brain active. Now a new trend has begun in several states in the US that encourages learning. Adults can attend One Day University. They can spend a Saturday or Sunday hearing four 70-minute lectures. Each one is given by a top university professor. One of the original participants said，“It’s like a health club for the brain.” Also，universities like MIT have made all of their courses and lectures available online for free！Libraries offer learning programs too. With so much available，there is no excuse not to learn!
    Learning is a habit. Don’t leave it behind after you leave school. On the website lifehack.org，author Scott Young mentions several things to help you.
    Always have a book. It doesn’t matter if you read fast or slow. Just read. If you read just one book a week，you’ll read 52 over the course of a year. Think of the knowledge you’ll gain!
    Practice it. As you read，do something with what you’ve learned. Don’t just enjoy the mental exercise. Use the knowledge. If you read about painting，try it!
    Make a “to learn” list. Compose a “to learn” list for yourself. Maybe you want to speak better English，play the piano，or cook French food. Whatever interests you，put it on your list and then make the time to do it.
    Teach others. Whatever you learn，teach someone else. You’ll not only help others but also understand what you’ve learned.

    A．Make learning last a lifetime.
    B．What you should do after leaving school.
    C．Several tips on learning.
    D．A new trend in learning.
    小题2:What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 mean?
    A．You don’t need to consider what you have learnt after graduation.
    B．You can relax as you have escaped from the hard life of studying.
    C．Leaving learning behind is what you should do after a break.
    D．You should have a good rest and then go on learning.
    小题3:How many ways of learning for adults in the US are mentioned in Paragraph 2?
    A．One.B．Two.C．Three.D．Four.
    小题4:Which of the following is NOT a suggestion made by Scott Young in the passage?
    A．Keep learning as a habit.
    B．Always have a book.
    C．List what you want to learn.
    D．Teach others what you learn.

    Lots of people have hobbies. Some people collect old coins or foreign stamps; some do needlework; others spend most of their spare time on a particular sport.
    A lot of people enjoy reading. But reading tastes differ widely. Some people only read newspapers or comics, some like reading novels, while others prefer books on astronomy, wildlife, or technological discoveries.
    If I happen to be interested in horses or precious stones, I cannot expect everyone else to share my enthusiasm. If I watch all the sports programs on TV with great pleasure, I must put up with the fact that other people find sports boring.
    Is there nothing that interests us all? Is there nothing that concerns everyone—no matter who they are or where they live in the world? Yes, dear Sophie, there are questions that certainly should interest everyone. They are precisely the questions this course is about.
    What is the most important thing in life? If we ask someone living on the edge of starvation, the answer is food. If we ask someone dying of cold, the answer is warmth. If we put the same question to someone who feels lonely and isolated, the answer will probably be the company of other people.
    But when these basic needs have been satisfied—will there still be something that everybody needs? Philosophers think so. They believe that man cannot live by bread alone. Of course everyone needs food. And everyone needs love and care. But there is something else—apart from that—which everyone needs, and that is to figure out who we are and why we are here.
    Being interested in why we are here is not a “casual” interest like collecting stamps. People who ask such questions are taking part in a debate that has gone on as long as man has lived on this planet. How the universe, the earth, and life came into being is a bigger and more important question than who won the most gold medals in the last Olympics.
    小题1: This text is most probably taken from __________. 
    A．a research paperB．a course schedule
    C．a personal letterD．a book review
    小题2: Which of the following best states the main idea of the passage?
    A．Philosophical questions are as interesting as collecting stamps.
    B．Thinking about philosophical questions is a serious interest.
    C．Figuring out who we are and why we are here is man’s basic needs.
    D．Philosophy has universal appeal and concerns everybody in nature.
    小题3: The author believes that __________.
    A．no existing subject can interest everyone in the world
    B．different people may have different interests and concerns
    C．everyone has to figure out who we are and why we are here
    D．people in modern society pay more attention to philosophical questions

    Five years ago, I was sent to a better middle school. For me, everything there was new and strange. After I had been there for two months, there was an important test in the middle of the term. It covered all my courses. In that test, I didn’t get a good grade, but most of my classmates got an A or A’.
    It made me upset for a long time. I felt everything in the world was changing. I thought my classmates were all better than me. During those days I was very unhappy.
    One day, my aunt, after talking with my teachers, talked to me. She told me to think about what I had done in the past and what I should do in the future. I was shocked by her words. I thought about what I had done during the past months, and I found I had done nothing to improve my grades. I thought I should work harder.
    After that, I paid more attention to the teachers’ talking in the classes, and I asked my teachers or my classmates when I didn’t understand something. I studied very late at night when I met with difficult problems. Most of all, I came to understand the importance of taking notes in class. As a result, I did better in some tests.
    About three months later, the most important test came at the end of the term. This time, I stood out not only in my class but also in the grade. From then on, I have tried to do my best when I do something because I know if I want something, I should work hard for it.
    小题1:Why did the writer fall behind in the new middle school?
    A．Because the teachers didn’t treat him well enough.
    B．Because the subjects were becoming more difficult.
    C．Because he hated the life in the new school.
    D．Because he didn’t put his heart into study.
    小题2:What did the writer’s aunt do to help him out?
    A．She punished him for not working hard.
    B．She helped him find out the reasons for his poor performance.
    C．She forced him to work harder.
    D．She asked his teachers to talk with him about his problems.
    小题3: Which of the following studying methods helped the writer most?
    A．Asking teachers for help when in difficulty. B．Working deep into the night every day.
    C．Making notes in class. D．Listening to every word his teachers said.
    小题4:What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?
    A．The writer failed again in the exam. B．The writer did very well in the exam.

    I first visited hutong as part of a tourist group several years ago. We rode on a trishaw（脚踏三轮车） with a guide explaining the history, architecture and lifestyle of the local inhabitants.
    Having visited the "must-sees" of Beijing, like the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven, the Drum Tower and the Summer Palace, going into the hutong home of some famous ancient families gave the “Beijing experience” a human element.
    My curiosity has sharpened over the years from reading about them at every opportunity. During the preparation for the Olympics I was eager to learn that some siheyuan courtyards in hutong were turned into accommodations（食宿） for visitors. I wished to stay in one someday.
    Preparing for a recent trip to the capital, I eagerly sought one out. On my limited teacher’s salary, I settled on an affordable option, though I looked longingly at the more upscale courtyard accommodations.
    As usual, I ended up having something closer to a true experience. A real family still lives in the courtyard, which is closer to the original. The rooms all opened into the central courtyard. Flowers were blooming, beans and peas were climbing up the bamboo fence, and the cat was napping in the sun. Every day after exploring the city, I'd hurry back to the hutong, take a quick shower and join the cat – snoozing（小睡） in a bamboo-made chair with a book ready nearby.
    As the other guests came back we’d greet one another. There was a mother and young daughter from France, a guy from Canada, a mother and teenage daughter from the Netherlands, a teacher from England and several guests from various parts of China.
    Coming and going through the narrow alleys（小巷） of the hutong, the residents would smile and give cheery “ni hao” （hello）. Laughing children were playing under the watchful eyes of the neighbors. I felt right at home in this friendly neighborhood.
    小题1: The main idea of the passage is about ______________.
    A．hutong days realize my desires to live local life
    B．Trishaw is the only way to visit the hutong
    C．living in the hutong with other visitors
    D．exploring the deeper of Beijing
    小题2: When did the author have the idea to visit Beijing hutong?
    A．As early as he was a little child
    B．when he was reading the text books at school
    C．during the preparation for the Olympics
    D．the author doesn’t mention it specifically
    小题3: The underlined word “upscale” in the fourth paragraph means _________.
    A．inexpensiveB．high-classC．appropriateD．secondary
    小题4: What is the impression of the author about the people in hutong?
    A．They came from all over the world.
    B．They all wanted to enjoy the old life of Beijing.
    C．They are living together in harmony.
    D．They are living in a heavenly peace life.

    Recently I gave my adult students homework. It was “go to someone you love and tell them you love them.” It has to be someone you have never said those words to before or at least haven’t shared those words with for a long time.
    It sounds like very tough homework since most of the men were over 35 and were raised in the generation of men that were taught expressing emotions is not “macho (阳刚之气).” Showing feelings or crying was just not done. So this was very threatening homework for some.
    At the beginning of our next class, I asked if someone wanted to share what happened when they told someone they loved them. I fully expected one of the women to volunteer, as was usually the case, but on this evening one of the men raised his hand, quite moved and a bit shaken.
    As he unfolded out of his chair (all 1.85 meters of him), he began by saying, “Dennis, I was quite angry with you last week when you gave us this homework. Who were you to tell me to do something that personal?”
    “But as I began driving home my conscience (良心)started telling me that I knew exactly who I needed to say ‘I love you’ to.”
    “Five years ago, my father and I had a severe disagreement and really never settled it since then. We avoided seeing each other unless we absolutely had to at Christmas or other family gatherings. But even then, we hardly spoke to each other.”
    “So last Tuesday by the time I got home I had convinced myself. I was going to tell my father I loved him. It’s strange, but just making that decision seemed to lift a heavy load off my chest.”
    小题1: The homework is threatening for some students because_________.
    A．they are middle-aged peopleB．they are not macho enough
    C．they were taught to hide their emotionsD．they didn’t know how to show feelings
    小题2: From the passage we know that_________.
    A．the adult students have classes in the day time only
    B．not all the adult students in the writer’s class are male
    C．the man refused to meet his father after their quarrel
    D．the man quickly decided to say “I love you” to his father
    小题3: The underlined phrase “unfolded out of his chair” in Para 4 is closest in meaning to_________.
    A．stood on his chair straightB．sat quietly in the chair
    C．bent himself over his chairD．raised himself slowly from the chair
    小题4: What does the man imply by saying the underlined sentence in the last paragraph?
    A．He felt it too strange to say “I love you” to his father.
    B．He felt relaxed just thinking of saying “I love you” to his father.
    C．He felt very relaxed after saying “I love you” to his father.
    D．He had to lift a heavy load off his chest before saying “I love you”.

    Destiny and Personal Responsibility
    One important variable affecting communication across cultures is destiny（命运）and personal responsibility. This refers to the degree to which we feel ourselves the masters of our lives, contrary to the degree to which we see ourselves as subject to things outside our control. Another way to look at this is to ask how much we see ourselves able to change and act, to choose the course of our lives and relationships. Some have drawn a parallel between the personal responsibility in North American settings and the view itself. The North American view is vast, with large spaces of unpopulated land. The frontier attitude of “King” of the wilderness, and the expansiveness of the land reaching huge distances, may relate to generally high levels of confidence in the ability to shape and choose our destinies.
    In this expansive land, many children grow up with a heroic sense of life, where ideas are big, and hope springs forever. When they experience temporary failures, they encouraged to redouble their efforts, to “try, try again.” Action, efficiency（效率）, and achievement are valued and expected. Free will is respected in laws and enforced by courts.
    Now consider places in the world with much smaller land, whose history reflects wars and tough struggles: Northern Ireland, Mexico, Israel, Palestine. In these places, destiny’s role is more important in human life. In Mexico, there is a history of hard life, fighting over land, and loss of homes. Mexicans are more likely to see struggles as part of their life and unavoidable. Their passive attitude is expr4essed in their way of responding to failure or accident by saying “ni modo”(“no way” or “tough lick”), meaning that the failure was destined.
    This variable is important to understanding cultural conflict. If someone believing in free will crosses paths with someone more passive, miscommunication is likely. The first person may expect action and accountability. Failing to see it, he may conclude that the second is lazy, not cooperative, or dishonest. The second person will expect respect for the natural order of thins. Failing to see it, he may conclude that the first is forcible, rude, or big headed in his ideas of what can be accomplished or changed.
    小题1:The author thinks that one’s character is partly determined by        .
    A．physical sensesB．general attitude
    C．financial backgroundD．geographic characteristics
    小题2:According to the passage, Mexicans would think that Americans are        .
    A．impracticalB．dishonestC．ambitiousD．hesitant
    小题3:The underlined word “subject” in Paragraph 1 probably means      .
    A．a topic of a discussionB．a branch of knowledge
    C．a person being experimented onD．a person under the power of others
    小题4:The author would probably agree that        .
    A．vast land may lead to a more controllable desire
    B．heroic sense of life roots deeply in a small country
    C．living in limited space contributes to an accepting attitude
