    Most young architects ----particularly those in big cities ----can only dream about working in a building of their own. And marking that dream come true often means finding a building no one else seems to want, which is exactly what happened to David Yocum and his partner, Brain Bell. Their building is a former automobile electrical –parts firm in Atlanta. Form the outside, it looks too old, even something horrible, but open the door and you are in a wide, open courtyard, lined on three sides with rusting(生锈的) walls.
    In 2000, Yocum and Bell found this building in the city’s West End. Built in 1947, the structure had been abandoned years earlier and the roof of the main building had fallen down. But the price was right, so Yocum bought it. He spent eight months of his off-hours on demolition(拆除), pulling rubbish out through the roof, because it was too dangerous to go inside the building, The demolition was hard work, but it gave him time to think about what he wanted to do, and “to treasure what was there – the walls, the rust, the light,” Yocum said.” Every season, more paint falls off the walls and more rust develops. It’s like an art installation(装置) in there-a slow-motion show.”
    Since the back building had been constructed without windows, an all-glass front was added to the building to give it a view of the courtyard, and skylights were installed in the roof. The back of the building is a working area and a living room for Yocum and his wife. A sort of buffer(缓冲) zone between the front and the back contains a bathroom, a kitchen and a mechanical room, and the walls that separate these zones have openings that allow views through to the front of the studio and the courtyard beyond.
    Yocum and Bell, who have just completed an art gallery for the city, feel that the experience from decoration of their building, focusing on the inside rather than the outside, has influenced their work. It has also given these architects a chance to show how they can make more out of less.
    小题1: According to the passage, it is      for most young architects in big cities to work in a building of their own.
    A．easyB．unnecessaryC．unrealisticD．common
    小题2:Yocum bought the old building because  __.
    A．it was a bargain to himB．it was still in good condition
    C．it was located in the city centerD．it looked attractive from the outside
    小题3: Working on the old building, Yocum and Bell＿.
    A．pulled rubbish out through the roofB．removed the skylights from the bathroom
    C．presented a slow–motion show in an art gallery
    D．built a kitchen at the back part of the old building
    小题4:It can be inferred from the passage that Yocum and Bell __.
    A．benefited a lot from pulling down the roofB．turned more old buildings into art galleries
    C．got inspiration from decorating their old building
    D．paid more attention to the outside of the gallery
    小题5:The main idea of the passage is that __.
    A．people can learn a lot from their failures
    B．it is worthwhile to spend money on an old building
    C．people should not judge things by their appearance
    D．creative people can make the best of what they have

    If women are mercilessly exploited（剥削） year after year, they have only themselves to blame．Because they tremble at the thought of being seen in public in clothes that are out of fashion, they are always taken advantage of by the designers and the big stores．Clothes which have been worn only a few times have to be put aside because of the change of fashion．
    Changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste．Many women spend large sums of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn．Women who cannot afford to throw away clothing in this way, waste hours of their time changing their old-fashioned dresses．Skirts are lengthened or shortened; neck-lines are lowered or raised, and so on．
    No one can claim that the fashion industry contributes anything really important to society．Fashion designers are rarely concerned with necessary things like warmth, comfort and durability （耐用）．They are only interested in outward appearance and they take advantage of the fact that women will put up with any amount of discomfort, as long as they look right．There can hardly be a man who hasn't at some time in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in a thin dress on a winter day, or picking her way through deep snow in high heeled shoes．
    When comparing men and women in the matter of fashion, the conclusions to be drawn are obvious．Do the constantly changing fashions of women's clothes, one wonders, reflect basic qualities of inconstancy and instability? Men are too clever to let themselves be cheated by fashion designers．Do their unchanging styles of dress reflect basic qualities of stability and reliability? That is for you to decide．
    小题1:Designers and big stores always make money_________．
    A．by mercilessly exploiting women workers in the clothing industry
    B．because they are capable of predicting new fashions
    C．by constantly changing the fashions in women's clothing
    D．because they attach great importance to quality in women's clothing
    小题2:To the writer, the fact that women change their old-fashioned dresses is seen as ___________．
    A．a waste of money
    B．a waste of time
    C．an expression of taste
    D．an expression of creativity
    小题3:New fashions in clothing are created for ___________．
    A．the commercial exploitation of women
    B．the women's strength of character
    C．basic qualities of inconstancy and instability
    D．an important contribution to society
    小题4:By saying "the conclusions to be drawn are obvious" （ Line One to Line Two, Paragraph Four）, the writer means that ___________．
    A．women's inconstancy in their choice of clothing is often laughed at
    B．women are better able to put up with discomfort
    C．men are also exploited greatly by fashion designers
    D．men are more reasonable in the matter of fashion

    Are the lives of city kids the same as those in villages? In lots of ways, they are very different. But what are those differences?
    Hu Peng from Wuhan and four of his friends decided to find out. Earlier this month, they went to live for a week in Caidian, a village near Wuhan. Hu and his Junior l classmates went door to door in Caidian and asked kids lots of questions. They want to learn more about village kids' everyday lives, so they asked questions like this: Do your parents teach you how to do the housework? How much money do you usually spend on dinner? What would you do if a thief came into your house? They also asked 150 city kids the same questions.
    On April 12, the team gave a report to their class. They told about many differences between children's lives in cities and those of children in villages. The biggest difference is about independence. Hu's team found that 60 percent of city kids can't do much housework, but 90 percent of village kids can care for themselves.
    City kids told Hu they care about schoolwork a lot, and they have no time for washing clothes or making their beds. Village kids said they help their parents a lot : cooking, cleaning the houses and feeding pigs. Hu's team  also found that village kids have less pocket money. Many have never used computers. They like playing in rivers or on mountains. Some don't even like to make new friends.
    Hu and his friends said their trip gave them more self- confidence (自信) because they have done something by themselves. But it also worried them a bit because they found they still have a lot to learn. "When we grow up, our parents can't take care of us," Hu said. "We have to learn to take care of ourselves. "  Shen Guanquan, one of Hu's friends said, "When people learn to care for themselves, they learn to do lots of difficult things. "
    小题1:How many city kids went to learn about village kids' everyday lives?
    A．Three.B．Four.C．Five.D．Six.
    小题2:Their report showed that most city kids ＿＿.
    A．help their parents a lotB．have less pocket money
    C．can take care of themselvesD．still have a lot to learn
    小题3:The underlined word "it" in the last paragraph means ＿＿.
    A．their tripB．their reportC．a village kidD．a city kid
    小题4: Hu Peng and his friends finished their report by ＿＿. 
    A．visiting schools in the village
    B．questioning village and city kids from door to door
    C．watching village and city kids' everyday lives
    D．questioning village and city kids' parents

    Some people think that all wild animals are dangerous. Actually, very few of them will attack a man if he leaves them alone. If you met a lion or an elephant, suppose, you would run away, but even a lion will keep away from a man unless it is very hungry. Lions and tigers only kill and eat men when they have grown too old and too weak to catch their usual food, such as deer and other small animals. If you saw a wild elephant, perhaps you would be frightened. Elephants usually run away at once unless you attack them. Some animals get very frightened if they only smell a man; some take no notice at all but quietly walk in another direction. Wild animals only attack hunters when they are afraid that the hunters mean to harm their young ones, or then the hunters shoot at them and make them angry.

    My mother-in-law, Dorothy, is showing me the red notebook that’s almost as precious to her as my husband’s baby pictures. Inside the notebook is a list of the books she has read since 2007. For some people waking up in the middle of the night is a terrible thing. But for my mother-in-law, that time is a gift. At 87, she is getting the education she never had by working her way through great literature. She has now read close to 100 books, including every single novel by Anthony Trollope, Charles Dickens, Jane Austen, Edith Wharton, Henry James and Thomas Mann.
    My mother-in-law discusses her passion with the enthusiasm of a young girl, although she can also be a very tough critic, writing “VG’ for “ very good” in the margins next to her favorites. So far, only a handful of books have received the top prize.
    Born in Ridgefield, Conn, Dorothy was the youngest daughter of an Italian gardener. She taught herself English by reading The New York Times. Eager to come to Manhattan, she became a nurse, married a dentist and spent the next several decades keeping the house and raising a family. In her later years, she put her nursing skills to good use by taking care of my father-in-law, who had lung cancer. There were many trips to the emergency room in the middle of the night and then a long hospital stay. She stayed awake to watch over him for 15 hours a day. Always a light sleeper, she developed sleeplessness as a result of the stress.
    It worsened after he died. Deeply sad and lonely for the first time in her life, she began waking up around 2am. Julian and Sylvia, the elderly couple next door suggest she read literature. And so Julian, a great lover of literature, became her “professor”, providing books from his large library. Suddenly the terrifying hole turned onto a world of amazing characters.
    小题1:Why is Dorothy considered a tough critic?
    A．Because no books are inspiring enough in her eyes.
    B．Because only a few books are thought highly of by her.
    C．Because she only reads books by famous writers.
    D．Because she finds fault with every book she reads.
    小题2: It can be inferred from the passage that _____.
    A．the books Dorothy has read were bought by her husband.
    B．the couple next door are college professors.
    C．the author loves literature too.
    D．Dorothy was a great wife.
    小题3:The underlined part “the terrifying hole” in the last paragraph refers to _____.
    A．the frightening death
    B．Dorothy’s lack of education
    C．waking up in the middle of the night
    D．a hole in a book that Dorothy read
    小题4: What helped Dorothy get over the sadness and loneliness of losing her husband?
    A．Living with her son.
    B．Reading literature.
    C．Seeing her son’s baby pictures.
    D．Talking with neighbors.
