    In the United States 84 colleges now accept just women. Most of them were established in the 19th century; they were designed to offer women the education they could not receive anywhere else. At that time major universities and colleges accepted only men. In the past 20 years many young women have chosen to study at colleges that accept both men and women. As a result some women’s colleges decided to accept men students too. Others, however, refused to change. Now these schools are popular again
    The president of Trinity College in Washington, D. C. said that by the end of the 1980s women began to recognize that studying at the same school with men did not mean women were having an equal chance to learn. The president of Smith College in Massachusetts says a women’s college permits women to choose classes and activities freely. For example, she says that in a women’s college a higher percentage of students studies mathematics than in a college with both men and women.
    Educational experts say men students in the United States usually speak in class more than women students do. In a women’s college, women feel free to say what they think. Women’s schools also bring out leadership capabilities in many women. Women are represented everywhere. For example, at a women’s college every governing office is held by a woman. Recent studies reportedly show this leadership continues after college. The studies show that American women who went to women’s colleges are more likely to hold successful jobs later in life. 
    小题1:Some women’s colleges decided to accept men students because_______.
    A．teaching women is more difficult than teaching men
    B．many young women chose to study at colleges with both men and women
    C．study with men is more challenged.
    D．women and men can have equal chances of competition.
    小题2:From the passage we know that_______.
    A．more and more women’s colleges are being established now
    B．more and more women like to study in colleges with both men and women
    C．there are more women’s colleges than colleges with both men and women in the USA
    D．it is better for American women to study in women’s colleges
    小题3:According to this passage, if a woman wants to hold successful jobs, she’d better_______.
    A．study in colleges with both men and women
    B．study in Trinity College
    C．learn from the president of Smith College
    D．study in women’s colleges
    小题4:Most of women’s colleges were established_______.
    A．to give women the education they could not receive anywhere else.
    B．to separate women from men.
    C．to offer women special chances for work.
    D．to help women have more study opportunities.

    What makes a house a home?
    Not size, of course．I’ve been in some of the grandest houses in America, and it’s readily apparent no one lives there．Earlier this year, I had dinner in a mud hut in Ethiopia, where we sat on chairs next to the hostess’ bed -- a home that had more warmth than any house I’ve been in since．
    Now John Edwards is exploring what makes a house a home in his just-released Home: The Blueprints of Our Lives．There Edwards writes, " This is a book about homes, the values they rest on, the dreams they are filled with, and the people they have shaped．The houses and circumstances are different, but much of what you find inside will be familiar．"     
    Whether you’re sitting in an airport right now, waiting to fly to your childhood home for Thanksgiving, or in your own home waiting for the relatives to arrive, you know what he’s talking about．
    We’ve lived in our townhouse for 21 years．The loose windows that make noise in the wind．The fireplace so shallow it holds only one log．The kitchen window that offers a view of the world passing by．It’s where friends sit on the kitchen counter drinking wine while dinner is being fixed．I lived there for only 18, but it will always be my true home．Even the lamp in the west living room window, which I could see far down the road when driving home late at night, still shines．
    While all this talk about childhood memories can be warm and comforting, home is whom you’re with, not where you are．As Edwards writes, "Home is family．Home is safety．Home is faith．"
    Happy homecoming．

    D．show the author’s different feelings about houses
    小题3:About the book Home: The Blueprints of Our Lives, we know that __
    A．it was the description of Edwards’ houses
    B．it is mainly about houses
    C．it helps us understand the concept of home
    D．it was written by the author of the text
    小题4:What did the author mainly mean when he mentioned the loose windows and the shallow fireplace ?
    A．His house was too old to live in．B．He missed the feelings of home．
    C．He hated living there．D．He missed his old friends too much．

    Dear son,
    The day that you see me old and I am already not in good health, have patience and try to understand me.
    If I get dirty when eating, if I can not dress, have patience and remember the hours I   36  teaching it to you. If, when I speak to you, I   37  the same things thousand and one times, do not   38   me, listen to me. When you were small, I had to read to you thousand and one times the same story   39   you got to sleep. When I do not want to have a   40 , neither shame me nor scold me. Remember when I had to chase you with thousand excuses I   41 , in order that you wanted to bathe. When you see my   42  little about new technologies, give me the necessary time and do not look at me with your mocking(嘲弄) smile. I taught you   43  to do so many things: to eat good, to dress well, to confront life…. When at some moment I lose the memory or the   44   of our conversation, let me have the necessary time to remember, and if I cannot do it, do not become nervous, as the most important thing is not our conversation but surely to be with you and to have you   45   to me.
    If ever I do not want to eat, do not force me. I know well   46   I need to and when not. When my   47  legs do not allow me to walk, give me your   48  , the same way I did when you gave your first   49 . And when someday I say to you that I do not want to   50  any more ---- that I want to rest forever, do not get angry. Someday you will understand.
    Try to understand that my age is not lived but survived. Some day you will discover that,  51  my mistakes, I always wanted the   52  thing for you and that I tried to prepare the way for you. You must not feel sad, angry or impotent(无可奈何) for seeing me   53  you. You must be next to me, try to understand me and to help me as I did it when you   54  living. Help me to walk, help me to end my way with love and   55 . I will pay you by a smile and by the immense love I have had always for you.
    I love you, Son.
    Your father

    Let’s say you have a piece of wood, a nail, and hammer. Pretend the wood is a person, the nail is a mean rumor (谣言) about that person. If you hammer in the nail, you’re obviously hurting him or her. If you then pull out the nail, there’s still a hole in the wood, and the damage has been done.
    There are many reasons why that nail of a rumor can be so harmful. Rumors are, quite simply, a form of bullying (欺悔). When a person or a group makes up a rumor about someone or decides to spread gossip, it’s usually to hurt someone, break up a friendship, or make someone less popular. It’s the same thing as teasing, only it’s done behind someone’s back instead of to his or her face.
    When you spread a rumor about someone, you’re sending a signal that the person is outside of the group, and somehow less worthy of friendship than others. You’re making fun of that person or pointing out negative things about him or her. This can let others think that it’s okay to make the person feel bad, and make him or her an outsider.
    We need to be able to trust our friends, and gossip and rumors can break this trust. If you tell a personal secret to a friend, and he turns around and tells it to someone else, you might feel like you will get burned if you ever get close to him again.
    Letting a rumor influence your behavior is like letting someone else make a big decision for you. Let’s say you hear that the teacher plans to call a Snow Day tomorrow because a blizzard (暴风雪) is coming. Expecting a day off, you don’t do your homework. The next morning, the blizzard turns out to be nothing more than a drizzle（毛毛雨）, and school isn’t off after all. You get zeroes on your work.
    小题1:The purpose of the first paragraph is to        .
    A．help readers know what a rumor isB．attract readers to read the following paragraphs
    C．emphasize the damaging effects of rumorsD．explain how a rumor spreads
    小题2:To tell a rumor and a tease apart, you depend on        .
    A．whether it is done behind someoneB．whether it is painful or not
    C．whether it is a kind if bullyingD．whether it is spread fast
    小题3: If a rumor is spread about someone, others may        .
    A．point out his or her advantagesB．keep away from him or her
    C．not feel he or she is an outsiderD．be hurt if getting close to him or her again
    小题4:From the last paragraph, we can infer that        .
    A．it is hard to keep rumors a secretB．rumors can destroy your interest in learning
    C．believing rumors can lead to bad choicesD．rumors can control your whole life
    小题5:The purpose of this passage is to         .
    A．advise on how to deal with rumorsB．teach us how to judge a rumor
    C．find out why rumors spread fastD．explain why rumors hurt

    “Hurry, Mommy! Let’s go trick-or-treating!” My daughter waited by the door in her pink princess skirt while I prayed in the living room. Usually I liked taking her out on Halloween, but this year I was sad. I was worried about my mother, who was in China on vacation. I got a call that afternoon that she had slipped and fallen on the hard floor of her hotel and broken her leg. She was taken to a hospital in Beijing. Mom was nervous because she couldn’t understand any of the doctors. If only I could do something to help her!
    I knew I couldn’t let my worries spoil my daughter’s fun. There was nothing I could do for Mom except pray, I thought. We left the house and went down the block. I was so upset that I hardly took notice of the kids around me. There came the man to whose son I’d once given piano lessons. “Hello there,” I said, greeting him and the boy at his side.
    “Hello,” the father answered. “Having fun?”“I’m trying,” I said. “Why, what’s wrong?” he asked. I told him the whole story. “My mother, in China, broke her leg and didn’t understand any of the doctors. And I’m too far away to do anything!” I said.
    He raised his eyebrows. “Beijing, you said?” he asked. I nodded. He smiled. “Believe it or not, my sister is a doctor at an English-speaking hospital there. If you want, I’ll make a call right away and we’ll try and get your mom transferred (转移).”
    A few days later I sat in the living room with my daughter as she finished the last of the candy. “Mommy, how far away is China?” she asked. “Not as far as I thought,” I said.
    小题1:What did the author’s daughter want to do?
    A．Pray with the author.B．Enjoy herself outside.
    C．Play a trick on her mom.D．Go to the theatre to see a play.
    小题2:What was the author’s mother worried about most?
    A．She couldn’t get used to the life in Beijing.
    B．She was hurt in the leg badly while travelling.
    C．She was too old and weak to pray for her daughter.
    D．She couldn’t make herself understood by the doctor.
    小题3:The author hardly took notice of the kids around because _____ .
    A．she was calling her motherB．she felt very sad at that time
    C．she was about to give a lessonD．she couldn’t find her daughter
    小题4: We can infer from the text that _____ .
    A．the man’s sister would help the author’s mother
    B．the author would come to China to see her mother
    C．the author was a famous music teacher in the town
    D．the author’s daughter wanted to travel in China

    It was raining as I got off the train in Nashville, Tennessee. I was tired so I went straight to my hotel.
    A big, heavy man was walking up and down in the hotel lobby. Something about the way he moved made me think of a hungry dog looking for a bone. He had a big, fat, red face and a sleepy expression in his eyes. He introduced himself as Wentworth Caswell – Major Wentworth Caswell – from “a fine southern family”. Caswell pulled me into the hotel’s barroom and yelled for a waiter. We ordered drinks. While we drank, he talked continually about himself, his family, his wife and her family. He said his wife was rich. He showed me a handful of silver coins that he pulled from his coat pocket.
    By this time, I had decided that I wanted no more of him. I said good night.
    I was born in the south myself. But I live in New York now. I write for a large magazine. My boss had asked me to go to Nashville. The magazine had received some stories and poems from a writer in Nashville, named Azalea Adair. The editor liked her work very much. The publisher asked me to get her to sign an agreement to write only for his magazine.
    I left the hotel at nine o’clock the next morning to find Miss Adair. It was still raining. As soon as I stepped outside I met Uncle Caesar. He was a big, old black man with fuzzy gray hair. Uncle Caesar was wearing the strangest coat I had ever seen. It must have been a military officer’s coat. It was very long and when it was new it had been gray. But now rain, sun and age had made it a rainbow of colors. Only one of the buttons was left. It was yellow and as big as a fifty cent coin.
    Uncle Caesar stood near a horse and carriage. He opened the carriage door and said softly, “Step right in, sir. I’ll take you anywhere in the city.”
    “I want to go to 861 Jasmine Street,” I said, and I started to climb into the carriage. But the old man stopped me. “Why do you want to go there, sir?”
    “What business is it of yours?” I said angrily. Uncle Caesar relaxed and smiled. “Nothing, sir. But it’s a lonely part of town. Just step in and I’ll take you there right away.”
    861 Jasmine Street had been a fine house once, but now it was old and dying. I got out of the carriage.
    “That will be two dollars, sir,” Uncle Caesar said. I gave him two one-dollar bills. As I handed them to him, I noticed that one had been torn in half and fixed with a piece of blue paper. Also, the upper right hand corner was missing.
    小题1:The narrator （故事的叙述者）got to Nashville probably _______.
    A．in the morningB．at noonC．in the afternoonD．in the evening
    小题2: The narrator didn’t like Caswell mainly because of ________.
    A．his appearanceB．his familyC．the way he talked and behavedD．his wife
    小题3: The publisher told the narrator to go to Nashville ______.
    A．to get a writer to sign an agreement for his magazine
    B．to collect some stories and poems from a writer
    C．to look for good writers for his magazine
    D．to visit his old friend Azalea Adair
    小题4: Uncle Caesar’s strange coat ________.
    A．was worn by a military officerB．was a new gray coat
    C．was an old yellow raincoatD．had only one button left
    小题5: From the question “Why do you want to go there, sir?”, we guess that Uncle Caesar _______.
    A．wanted to know why the narrator wanted to go there
    B．knew the place and was concerned about the narrator
    C．would charge two dollars for taking the narrator there
    D．must have lived in the neighbourhood before

    For travellers who want to experience some of the history and mystery of the ancient world, here is a list of cool destinations for your next holiday.
    Angkor Wat, Cambodia
    Built in the 12th century, Angkor Wat (meaning “capital monastery”) was a temple in the ancient Khmer capital city of Angkor. It is Cambodia’s best-known tourist attraction and is famed for its beautiful architecture and reliefs. You’ll need at least three days to fully discover the delights of this magnificent site.
    Machu Picchu, Peru
    Machu Picchu was built high in the Andes Mountains of South America by the Inca in the 15th century. Although well preserved its exact purpose is unknown. It is famous throughout the world not only for its incredible design but also for the natural beauty that surrounds it. Give yourself a week to explore this magnificent site.
    Stonehenge, England
    The entire Stonehenge site was constructed over thousands of years. But why and how it was built remains a mystery. As the weather can be pretty bleak in winter and the crowds huge in summer, we suggest autumn should be the best time to visit these monster rocks.
    Pompeii, Italy
    When Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 A.D., Pompeii was buried under many layers of ash, preserving the city exactly as it was when the volcano erupted. Because so many objects were preserved, scientists and visitors are able to better understand daily life in the ancient Roman Empire.

    Several years ago, I had a huge falling out with one of my best friends. So huge, in fact, that now I can’t even remember what happened.
    In the past nine years, I’ve seen her twice, and each time we’ve been polite but distant. And that troubles me because we were once that close to each other. I’d like nothing more than to go back nine years, and continue our friendship. But how? How do you reconnect with friends you’ve lost throughout the years?
    Linking to your past
    The desire to reconnect with lost friend isn’t unusual. Why? Because friends link us to the past. “Friends from years ago are custodians(监护人) of our past,” says Sandy Sheehy, author of Connecting” The Enduring Power of Female Friendship.
    Although you can’t share information about your past with friends you’ve met recently, you don’t have a shared history with them. So you wind up only telling them about your past, rather than sharing it with them.
    But many people never try to reconnect. Women especially have trouble taking the first step. Shyness or fear that the other person doesn’t want to reconnect often stops many women. And that shouldn’t be. Your friends probably want to be in touch with you as much as you want to be in touch with them.
    Searching for friends
    Fortunately, finding lost friends isn’t as difficult as it once was, thanks to tools like the Internet. Our experts offer these suggestions for locating contact information:
    Search Internet sites designed to locate people like classmates.com and switchboard.com.
    Contact your high school or college alumni（校友）office to request current address information.
    Surf online yellow pages. Check current phone records from your friend’s hometown.
    Network with other friends who might have known your friend.
    Get in touch with any of her relatives(亲戚), if you know where they live. If you know where she works, find the company’s web site and search the directory of personnel.
    小题1:What ‘s the subject discussed in the passage?
    A．How to make new friends.B．How to rediscover friendships.
    C．How to develop healthy friendshipsD．How to keep in touch with friends.
    小题2:The underlined sentence “Friends from years ago are custodians of our past” means _____.
    A．many years ago old friends kept something for us
    B．in the past old friends took care of us
    C．old friends are part of our life history
    D．old friends know what wrong things we did in the past
    小题3:What makes us unwilling to reconnect old friends?
    A．Lack of moneyB．Shortage of time
    C．Regret and shameD．Fear and shyness
    小题4:How can we make contact with the lost friends?
    A．By asking other friends of the information on your lost friends.
    B．By searching your friends’ telephone number in the net.
    C．By asking the local post office about your friends’ new address.
    D．By putting an ad in your friends’ local town.
