    A father sat at his desk poring over his monthly bills when his young son rushed in and announced, "Dad, because this is your birthday and you're 40 years old, I'm going to give you 40 kisses, one for each year!" When the boy started making good on his word, the father cried out suddenly, "Oh, Andrew, don't do it now; I'm too busy!"
    The youngster immediately fell silent as tears welled up in his big blue eyes．Apologicaliy the father said, "You can finish later．"
    The boy said nothing but quietly walked away, disappointment written over his face．That evening the father said, "Come and finish the kisses now, Andrew!" But the boy didn't respond．
    Unfortunately, a few days later after this incident, the boy had an accident and was drowned．His heartbroken father wrote．．．
    "If only I could tell him how much I regret my thoughtless words, and could be sure that he knows how much my heart is aching．"
    Love is not only giving．Any loving act must be warmly accepted or it will be taken as rejection and can leave a scar．If we are too busy to give and receive love, we are too busy! Nothing is more important than responding with love to the cry for love from those who are near and precious to us, because there may be no chance at all as in the case of the little boy．

    Holding a cell phone against your ear or stalling it in your pocket may be hazardous to your health．
    This paraphrases a warning that cell phone; manufacturers include in the small print that is often tossed aside when a new phone is purchased．Apple, for example, doesn’t want iP hones to come closer to you than 1．5 centimeters; Research In Motion, Blackberry’s manufacturer, recommends 2.5 centimeters．
    If health issues arise from cell phone use, the implications are huge．Voice calls - Americans chat on cell phones 2．26 trillion minutes annually - generate $109 billion for the wireless carriers．
    Devra Davis, an epidemiologist who has worked for the University of Pittsburgh, has published a book about cell phone radiation, "Disconnect." The book surveys scientific research and concludes the question is not settled.
    　　Brain cancer is a concern that Ms. Davis examines. Over all, there has not been an increase in its incidence since cell phones arrived. But the average masks an increase in brain cancer in the 20-to-29 age group and a drop for the older population.
    　　"Most cancers have multiple causes," she says, but she points to laboratory research that suggests low-energy radiation could damage cells that could possibly lead to cancer.
    　　Children are more vulnerable to radiation than adults, Ms. Davis and other scientists point out. Radiation that penetrates only five centimeters into the brain of an adult will reach much deeper into the brains of children because their skulls are thinner and their brains contain more absorptive fluid. No studies have yet been completed on cell phone radiation and children, she says.
    　　Henry Lai, a research professor in the bioengineering department at the University of Washington, began laboratory radiation studies in 1980 and found that rats exposed to radiofrequency radiation had damaged DNA in their brains.
    　　Ms. Davis recommends using wired headsets or the phone’s speaker. Children should text rather than call, she said, and pregnant women should keep phones away from the abdomen.
    小题1:We can infer from the passage that________．
    A．Cell phone may do harm to our health if we hold it against our ear or store in our pocket
    B．Devra Davis thinks that there are many factors contributing to cancer．
    C．The increase in brain cancer in the young adults may have something to do with cell phone
    D．Children are more likely to be affected by radiation
    小题2:According to the passage, how could children avoid being hurt by cell phone radiation?
    A．They can keep cell phones away from the abdomen．
    B．They can send short massage instead of making phone calls directly．
    C．They can pay more attention to the small print on the phone．
    D．They should use more advanced cell phones．
    小题3:From this passage we can learn that．________．
    A．American cell phone manufacturers did not give any warning to their customers
    B．American cell phone manufacturers benefit greatly from their products
    C．Scientists have found the connection between brain cancer and ceil phone
    D．Cell phone should be banned because of the increase in brain cancer
    小题4:In which column can we most probably read this passage?
    A．Advanced technology．B．Entertainment．
    C．Science and life．D．Celebrity．

    In spite of the television and other ways to pass information, the newspaper is still an important source. Many people begin their day by reading the paper.

    The easy way out isn't always easiest . I learned that lesson when I decided to treat Doug , my husband of one month , to a special meal . I glanced through my cookbook and chose a menu(菜谱) which included homemade bread . Knowing the bread would take time , I started on it as soon as Doug left for work . As I was not experienced in cooking , I thought if a dozen was good , two dozens would be better , so I doubled（加倍）everything . As Doug loved oranges , I also opened a can of orange and poured it all into the bowl . Soon there was a sticky dough (面团) covered with ugly yellowish marks . Realizing I had been defeated , I put the dough in the rubbish bin outside so I wouldn't have to face Doug laughing at my work , I went on preparing the rest of the meal , and , when Doug got home , we sat down to eat Cornish chicken with rice . He tried to enjoy the meal but seemed disturbed . Twice he got up and went outside , saying he thought he heard a noise . The third time he left , I went to the windows to see what he was doing . Looking out , I saw Doug standing about three feet from the rubbish bin , holding the lid up with a stick and looking into the container . When I came out of the house , he dropped the stick and explained that there was something alive in our rubbish bin . Picking up the stick again , he held the lid up enough for me to see . I felt cold . But I stepped closer and looked harder . Without doubt it was my work . The hot sun had caused the dough to double in size and the fermenting yeast (酵母)made the surface shake and sigh as though it were breathing .It looked like some unknown being from outer space. I could see why Doug was so shaken. I had to admit what the 'living thing” was and why it was there . I don't know who was more embarrassed(尴尬)by the whole thing － Doug or me.

    The speaker, a teacher from a community college, addressed a sympathetic(赞同的) audience. Heads nodded in agreement when he said, “High school English teachers are not doing their jobs.” He described the inadequacies of his students, all high school graduates who can use language only at a grade 9 level. I was unable to determine from his answers to my questions how this grade 9 level had been established.
    My topic is not standards nor its decline(降低). What the speaker was really saying is that he is no longer young; he has been teaching for sixteen years, and is able to think and speak like a mature adult.
    　　My point is that the frequent complaint of one generation about the one immediately following it is inevitable. It is also human nature to look for the reasons for our dissatisfaction. Before English became a school subject in the late nineteenth century, it was difficult to find the target of the blame for language deficiencies (缺陷). But since then, English teachers have been under constant attack.
    　　The complainers think they have hit upon an original idea. As their own command of the language improves, they notice that young people do not have this same ability. Unaware that their own ability has developed through the years, they assume the new generation of young people must be hopeless in this respect. To the eyes and ears of sensitive adults the language of the young always seems inadequate.
    Since this concern about the decline and fall of the English language is not perceived(察觉) as a generational phenomenon but rather as something new and peculiar(特有的) to today’s         young people, it naturally follows that today’s English teachers cannot be doing their jobs. Otherwise, young people would not commit offenses against the language.
    小题1: The speaker the author mentioned in the passage believed that _____.
    A．the language of the younger generation is usually inferior(差的) to that of the older
    generation
    B．the students had a poor command of English because they didn’t work hard enough
    C．he was an excellent language teacher because he had been teaching English for sixteen
    years
    D．English teachers should be held responsible for the students’ poor command of English
    小题2: In the author’s opinion, the speaker ______.
    A．gave a correct judgment of the English level of the students
    B．had exaggerated(夸大) the language problems of the students
    C．was right in saying that English teachers were not doing their jobs
    D．could think and speak intelligently
    小题3:The author’s attitude towards the speaker’s remarks is ______.
    A．neutral B．positive C．critical D．compromising
    小题4:It can be concluded from the passage that ______.
    A．it is justifiable(有理由的) to include English as a school subject
    B．the author disagrees with the speaker over the standard of English at Grade 9 level
    C．English language teaching is by no means an easy job
    D．language improvement needs time and effort
    小题5:In the passage the author argues that ______.
    A．it is unfair to blame the English teachers for the language deficiencies of the students
    B．young people would not commit offences against the language if the teachers did their
    jobs properly
    C．to eliminate(消除) language deficiencies one must have sensitive eyes and ears
    D．to improve the standard of English requires the effort of several generations
