    Maybe ten-year-old Elizabeth put it best when she said to her father, "But, Dad, you can't be healthy if you're dead."
    　　Dad, in a hurry to get home before dark so he could go for a run, had forgotten to wear his safety belt-- a mistake 75% of US population make every day. The big question is why.
    　There have been many myths about safety belt ever since their first appearance in cars some forty years ago. The following are three of the most common.
    　Myth the Number One: It's best to be "thrown clear" of a serious accident.
    　　Truth: Sorry, but any accident serious enough to "throw you clear" is able going to be serious enough to give you a very bad landing. And chances are you'll have traveled through a windshield (挡风玻璃)or door to do it. Studies show that chances of dying after a car accident are twenty-five times in cases where people are "thrown clear".
    　Myth Number Two: Safety-bets "trap" people in cars that are burning or sinking in water.
    Truth: Sorry again, but studies show that people knocked unconscious (昏迷) due to not wearing safety belts have a greater chance of dying in these accidents. People wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having in these accidents. People wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having a clear head to free themselves from such dangerous situation, not to be trapped in them.
    　Myth Number Three: Safety belts aren't needed at speeds of less than 30 miles per hour (mph).
    　Truth: When two cars traveling at 30 mph hit each other, an unbelted driver would meet the windshield with a force equal to diving headfirst into the ground from a height of 10 metres.
    小题1:Why did Elizabeth say to her father, "But, Dad, you can't be healthy if you're dead"?
    A．He was driving at great speed.
    B．He was running across the street.
    C．He didn't have his safety belt on.
    D．He didn't take his medicine on time.
    小题2:The reason father was in a hurry to get home was that he __________.
    A．wasn't feeling very wellB．hated to drive in the dark
    C．wanted to take some exerciseD．didn't want to be caught by the people
    小题3: According to the text, to be "thrown clear" of a serious accident is very dangerous because you ________.
    A．may be knocked down by other cars.
    B．may get serious hurt thrown out of the car
    C．may find it impossible to get away from the seat
    D．may get caught in the car door
    小题4:Some people prefer to drive without wearing a safety belt because they believe _______.
    A．the belt prevents them from escaping in an accident
    B．they will be unable to think clearly in an accident
    C．they will be caught when help comes
    D．cars catch fire easily
    小题5:What is the advice given in the test?
    A．Never drive faster than 30 miles an hour.
    B．Try your best to save yourself in a car accident.
    C．Never forget to wear the safety belt while driving.
    D．Drive slowly while you're not wearing a safety belt.

    小题1:C
    小题2:C
    小题3:B
    小题4:A
    小题5:C

    小题1:句意理解题。从第二自然段Dad, in a hurry to get home before dark so he could go for a run, had forgotten to wear his safety belt--a mistake 75% of US population make every day. 可知，他女儿说这句话的意思是他没有扎安全带。
    小题2:细节题。从第二自然段Dad, in a hurry to get home before dark so he could go for a run, had forgotten to wear his safety belt-- a mistake 75% of US population make every day. 可知，他忘记扎安全带的原因是他想赶快回家跑步，即进行体育锻炼。
    小题3:细节题。从第五自然段Studies show that chances of dying after a car accident are twenty-five times in cases where people are "thrown clear". 可知，"thrown clear"可能造成伤害和死亡。其原因是当发生交通事故一个人如果从车中跳出来，着路时就会十分危险。同时从车中跳出必然要穿过挡风玻璃或车门，就可能造成伤亡。
    小题4:理解题。从Myth Number Two中Safety-bets"trap"people in cars that are burning or sinking in water. 可知，人们误认为，如果扎上安全带，当汽车着火或沉入水中时，驾驶员就无法逃出车外。
    小题5:归纳理解题。从整篇文章看，主要告诉人们开车时应系好安全带。

    Twelve years age I flew from my home in Minnesota to spend Father’s Day with my father in California. This wasn’t a typical Father’s Day visit, but to say goodbye to my father as his cancer rapidly advanced. We hadn’t had much of a relationship up to that day and never did much talking. He wasn’t verbal (善用言词辞的) or demonstrative (易流露感情的) nor was I. I knew he loved me simply because fathers love their children. He never told me he loved me and I never told him. That’s the way we did things in our house.
    My father told me a bit about his career growth from a poor boy to a very successful businessman. He had got a lot through his hard work. He had reasons to be proud of what he had done and I had the benefit of his success. “Maybe I didn’t do things right. I never really knew you or your brothers. I did what I thought was right.” This visit didn’t change our ways. We shook hands and said goodbye as I left. Our relationship ended as we lived it.
    As a father for more than 14 years I look back and understand why I am staying at home full-time with my children. I tell my children I love them every day, I hug them and I talk with them and let them know how important they are to me. However, as much as we would like to believe that we are all ideal fathers but we are not. We all made mistakes and hopefully we learned from them, just as I learned from my father.

    Dear Flowermouse,?
    Thank you for your comments on how Americans and Chinese view each other. This is an important subject. Modern technology has given many nations the chance of destroying other nations. This is a cruel picture but it is a realistic one. It means that every nation should make sure that these weapons of great destruction are never used. This requires greater acceptance of differences among people and nations in all parts of the planet.?
    Your letter asks specially about Chinese-American relationships but I want to let you know my feelings on a global scale. Because China and America are the most powerful nations and I believe they have a special responsibility for promoting better understanding and for leading the way toward peaceful solutions to the world's problems.
    You ask how Chinese and American people view each other. This is an important question. Because I know so little about China that I am not able to judge how Chinese view Americans. I am sure that the view differs according to individual experiences that persons might have. And it is not easy to describe America to foreigners. America is a vast mass of people and cultures. These people came from all parts of the world, from Asia, Africa, Latin America, Europe and Australia. Each brought a different culture and a different set of values within a single nation.
    　　I believe that the vast majority of Americans like the vast majority of Chinese want peace and friendship between our two nations. Both China and America have suffered through generations from war and violence in our history. And I believe that it is the special responsibility of all Chinese and all Americans to impress this need for mutual understanding on our neighbors in other.?
    So my friend, this is my response. Please know that I write to you as a private person living in America. I do feel strongly that people everywhere have more in common than they have in differences. We all share the same basic needs for existence and we all depend upon the same need for the survival of this beautiful planet earth. Maybe we can begin to encourage better communication and better understanding through my columns. I hope so.?
    小题1:From the passage we can know that Flowermouse_______.?
    A．loves Americans
    B．has read about the writer's articles?
    C．is an American
    D．knows little about Americans?
    小题2:It is likely that the writer_______.?
    A．disagrees with Flowermouse?
    B．thinks it possible for nations to be destroyed due to modern technology?
    C．thinks American government share the same opinions with its people?
    D．believes the weapons of great destruction are never used?
    小题3:The letter that Flowermouse wrote to the writer, maybe have referred to .?
    A．American culture
    B．American society?
    C．Chinese-American relationships
    D．Chinese society?
    小题4:The writer's purpose to write the passage is to_______.?
    A．introduce Americans to us
    B．make friends with Flowermouse?
    C．speak for the government of America
    D．call on nations to understand each other??

    A is for always getting to work on time.
    B is for being extremely busy.
    C is for the conscientious(勤勤恳恳的) way you do your job.
    You may be all these things at the office, and more. But when it comes to getting ahead, experts say, the ABCs of business should include a P, for politics, as in office politics.
    Dale Carnegie suggested as much more than 50 years ago: Hard work alone doesn’t ensure career advancement. You have to be able to sell yourself and your ideas, both publicly and behind the scenes. Yet, despite the obvious rewards of engaging in office politics—a better job, a raise, praise—many people are still unable or unwilling—to “play the game”.
    “People assume that office politics involves some manipulative(工于心计的) behavior,” says Deborah Comer, an assistant professor of management at Hofstra University. “But politics derives from the word ‘polite’. It can mean lobbying(游说) and forming associations. It can mean being kind and helpful, or even trying, to please your superior, and then expecting something in return.”
    In fact, today, experts define office politics as proper behavior used to pursue one’s own self-interest in the workplace. In many cases, this involves some form of socializing within the office environment—not just in large companies, but in small workplaces as well.
    “The first thing people are usually judged on is their ability to perform well on a consistent basis,” says Neil P. Lewis, a management psychologist. “But if two or three candidates are up for a promotion, each of whom has reasonably similar ability, a manager is going to promote the person he or she likes best. It’s simple human nature.”
    Yet, psychologists say, many employees and employers have trouble with the concept of politics in the office. Some people, they say, have an idealistic vision of work and what it takes to succeed. Still others associate politics with flattery(奉承), fearful that, if they speak up for themselves, they may appear to be flattering their boss for favors.
    Experts suggest altering this negative picture by recognizing the need for some self-promotion.
    小题1:“Office politics” is used in the passage to refer to________.
    A．the political views and beliefs of office workers
    B．the interpersonal relationships within a company
    C．the various qualities required for a successful career
    D． the code of behavior for company staff
    小题2:To get promoted, one must not only be competent but________.
    A．avoid being too outstanding
    B．get along well with his colleagues
    C．honest and loyal to his company
    D．give his boss a good impression
    小题3:The author considers office politics to be________.
    A．unwelcome at the workplace
    B．bad for interpersonal relationships
    C．an important factor for personal advancement
    D．indispensable to the development of company culture
    小题4:It is the author’s view that________.
    A．self-promotion does not necessarily mean flattery
    B．hard work contributes very little to one’s promotion
    C．many employees fail to recognize the need of flattery
    D．speaking up for oneself is part of human nature

    When I was a stay-at-home mom, there were times I wished I could buy some beautiful flowers, but the money that they would cost was needed in the home. When I walked into town with the family, my youngest daughter, Lily, would always carry a flower stem(花梗). That’s how she got the nickname “Stick Girl”.
    One day when we passed the flower lady with Lily, the flower lady smiled at her and said, “Come here. I have something for you.” She handed her a beautiful flower. Lily dropped the stem and held on to that flower until we came back home. We placed it in water and enjoyed the beauty of that flower along with the feelings of warmth and kindness from the flower lady.
    My neighbors would run to her to get a bouquet of flowers whenever they wanted to, and I used to give directions(为人指路) using the flower lady. I would say, “Walk for three blocks. You’ll see the flower lady. Turn right at that street.”
    My mom visits me each year. On her first summer visit this year, she looked at me and asked, “Where’s the flower lady?”
    I had no idea. The flower lady had been an icon(偶像) for me for 16 years, but now she wasn’t there any more.
    I went on a search and soon found her in another spot, at the Harbor Loop. I was glad to see her and I had to tell her that she was missed!
    I have a garden which I admire very much now. Every time I see those bright colors when I come home after a day of work, I remember the generosity of a dear old lady whom I only know as the flower lady.
    56. When the flower lady gave Lily a flower, Lily _____.
    A. accepted it happily
    B. paid for it and walked home quickly
    C. accepted it and forgot that other people were laughing at her
    D. felt sorry for not being able to pay for it
    57. Why did the author give directions using the flower lady?
    A. Because the flower lady used to give her daughter many flowers.
    B. Because she felt grateful for the flower lady’s generosity and warmth.      
    C. Because her neighbors usually bought flowers from the flower lady.
    D. Because the flower lady ran the flower shop with her and her mother.
    58. From the passage, we know that _____.
    A. it was the flower lady who taught the author how to grow flowers
    B. the author didn’t know the flower lady’s address or name
    C. the flower lady used to sell flowers in one place all the time
    D. the flower lady might keep on offering the author flowers
    59. What’s the best title for the passage?
    A. The Stick Girl   B. Beautiful Flowers   C. The Flower Lady    D. Buying Flowers
