    Biography
    When Salinger learned that a car park was to be built on the land, the middle-aged writer was shocked and quickly bought the neighboring area to protect it. The townspeople never forgot the rescue and came to help their most famous neighbor.
    J.D. Salinger A Life by Kenneth Slawenski（Random House,$27）
    Mystery（疑案小说）
    “You’re a smart boy. Benny’s death was no accident, and you’re the only who saw it happen. Do you think the murderer should get away with it ? ”The boy was starting stubbornly at his lap again.
    A thought suddenly occurred to Annika, “Did you …You recognized the man in the car, didn’t you?”
    The boy hesitated, twisting his fingers, “Maybe,” he said quietly.
    Red Wolf by Liza Marklund（Atria Books, $25. 99）
    Short Stories
    She wants to say to him what she has learned, none of it in class. Some women are born stupid, and some women are too smart for their own good. Some women are born to give, and some women only know how to take. Some women learn who they want to be from their mothers, some who they don’t want to be. Some mothers suffer so their daughters won’t. Some mothers love so their daughters won’t.
    You Are Free by Danzy Senna （Riverhead Books,$15）

    One school night this month I walked quietly up to Alexander, my 15-year-old son, and touched his cheek gently in a manner I hoped would seem casual．A year ago he would have ignored this disturbance but now he reacted impatiently and leaned back to his computer screen．
    I made a mistake: breaking into my teenager's personal space. “The average teenager has pretty strong feelings about his privacy," Lara Fox and her friend Hilary Frankel told me. Mr．Frankel and Mr．Fox, both 17, are the authors of Breaking the Code, a new book that seeks to bridge the generational divide between parents and adolescents．It is being promoted by its publisher as the first self-help guide by teenagers for their parents, a kind of "Kids Are From Mars, Parents Are From Venus" that explains the language and actions of teenagers．The girls dealt with issues including hanging out late, money, school pressures, smoking etc．
    Personally, I welcome their opinions．The most common missteps in interacting with teenagers arise from the war between parents exercising their rights to know what goes on under their roof and teenagers firmly guarding their privacy．Teenagers can be quick to interpret their parents' remarks and respond with anger that masks their vulnerability （脆弱）. Ms Fox said, "What we want above all is your approval．Don't forget, no matter how much we act as if we don't care what you say, we believe the things you say about us．"
    Nancy, a New York child-raising expert said she didn't agree with everything the authors suggested but found their arguments reasonable．"When your kids are saying, ' You don't get it, and you never will, ' there are lots of ways to respond so that they will listen and that is what the writers point out．"
    " My parents helped me see that, " Mr．Fox told me, " even though they used to stay out late and ride their bicycles to school, times have changed and the way parents educate children is different．These days there is a major fear factor in bringing up kids．Parents worry about their child crossing the street．" The writers said they hoped simply to throw light on teenage thinking．
    小题1:According to the two girls, teenagers nowadays are ____．
    A．independentB．intelligent
    C．inconsiderateD．sensitive
    小题2:The underlined sentence "You don't get it, and you never will" in the 4th paragraph implies that ____．
    A．the teenagers don't want/to admit their weakness
    B．the teenagers think that their parents will never understand them
    C．the parents do not necessarily force into the world of their children
    D．the generation gap cannot be shortened despite their parents' efforts
    小题3:It can be inferred from the last two paragraphs that ____．
    A．teenagers should guard their privacy
    B．Nancy totally agrees with the two girls' opinions
    C．parents are more concerned about children's safety
    D．the two girls have obtained numerous support from the public
    小题4:Why does the author mention the book "Kids Are From Mars, Parents Are From Venus ?
    A．It is one of the best-sellers
    B．It is also written by the two girls
    C．The two books have the similar theme
    D．The two books have different opinions

    People use their mouths for many things. They eat, talk, shout and sing. They smile and they kiss. In the English language, there are many expressions about the word“mouth”. But some of them are not so nice. For example, if you say bad things about a person, the person might protest and say “Do not bad mouth me.” Sometimes, people say something to a friend or family member that they later regret because it hurts that people’s feelings. Or they tell the person something they were not supposed to. The speaker might say: “I really put my foot in my mouth this time”. If this should happen, the speaker might feel down in the mouth, In other words, he might feel sad for saying the wrong thing.
    Information is often spread through word of mouth. This is general communication between people, like friends talking to each other.” How did you hear about that new movie?” someone might ask,” Oh, by word of mouth.” A more official way of getting information is through a company or government mouthpiece. This is an official spokesperson. Government –run media could also be called a mouthpiece.
    Sometimes when one person is speaking, he says the same thing that his friend was going to say. When this happens, the friend might say: “You took the words right out of my mouth!” Sometimes a person has a bad or unpleasant experience with another person. He might say that experience “left a bad taste in my mouth”. Or the person might have had a very frightening experience, like being chased by an angry dog. He might say : “ I had my heart in my mouth.”
    小题1:The underlined words “ down in the mouth” in Paragraph One can be best replaced by _______.
    A．ashamedB．regretfulC．satisfiedD．excited

    Of course, the main difference on the Chinese dinner table is chopsticks instead of knife and fork, but that’s only superficial. Besides, in decent restaurants, you can always ask for a pair of knife and fork, if you find the chopsticks not helpful enough. The real difference is that in the West, you have your own plate of food, while in China the dishes are placed on the table and everyone shares. If you are being treated to a formal dinner and particularly if the host thinks you’re in the country for the first time, he will do the best to give you a taste of many different types of dishes.
    The meal usually begins with a set of at least four cold dishes, to be followed by the main courses of hot meat and vegetable dishes. Soup then will be served (unless in Guangdong style restaurants) to be followed by staple food ranging from rice, noodles to dumplings. If you wish to have your rice to go with other dishes, you should say so in good time, for most of the Chinese choose to have the staple food at last or have none of them at all.
    Perhaps one of the things that surprise a western visitor most is that some of the Chinese hosts like to put food into the plates of their guests. In formal dinners, there are always “public” chopsticks and spoons for this purpose, but some hosts may use their own chopsticks. This is a sign of genuine friendship and politeness. It is always polite to eat the food. If you do not eat it, just leave the food in the plate.
    　  People in China tend to over-order food, for they will find it embarrassing if all the food is consumed. When you have had enough, just say so. Or you will always overeat!
    小题1:What’s the main difference on dinner table between China and West is ___________.
    A．On Chinese dinner table, chopsticks replace knife and fork.
    B．The host will do the best to give you a taste of many different types of dishes.
    C．You’re treated to a formal dinner for the first time.
    D．You have your own plate of food in West while in China everyone shares the dishes.
    小题2:If you have a dinner in a Chinese home, in which order will the food be served in China?
    a. a set of four cold dishes.
    b. staple food such as rice, noodle or dumplings.
    c. the main courses of hot meat and vegetable dishes.
    d. serving soup.
    A．acbdB．cabd C．acdbD．cadb
    小题3:According to the passage, we can infer that ___________.
    A．Chinese all think it impolite for guests to ask for a pair of knife and fork.
    B．Chinese think it impolite for guests to leave food in the plate.
    C．People in China tend to over-order food, for they will find it embarrassing if all the food is consumed.
    D．Chinese think it polite to put food into the plated of the guests with their own chopsticks.

    People from East Asia tend to have more difficulty than those from Europe in distinguishing facial expressions — and a new report published online in Current Biology explains why.
    Rachael Jack, University of Glasgow researcher, said that rather than scan evenly(均匀的) across a face as Westerners do, Easterners fix their attention on the eyes.
    "We show that Easterners and Westerners look at different face features to read facial expressions," Jack said. "Westerners look at the eyes and the mouth in equal measure, whereas Easterners favor the eyes and neglect (忽略) the mouth."
    According to Jack and her colleagues, the discovery shows that human communication of emotion is more complex than previously believed. As a result, facial expressions that had been considered universally recognizable cannot be used to reliably convey emotion in cross-cultural situations.
    The researchers studied cultural differences in the recognition of facial expressions by recording the eye movements of 13 Western Caucasian and 13 East Asian people while they observed pictures of expressive faces and put them into categories: happy, sad, surprised, fearful, disgusted, angry, or neutral. They compared how accurately participants read those facial expressions using their particular eye movement strategies.
    It turned out that Easterners focused much greater attention on the eyes and made significantly more errors than did Westerners. "The cultural difference in eye movements that they show is probably a reflection of cultural difference in facial expressions," Jack said. "Our data suggests that whereas Westerners use the whole face to convey emotion, Easterners use the eyes more and mouth less."
    In short, the data show that facial expressions are not universal signals of human emotion. From here on, examining how cultural factors have diversified these basic social skills will help our understanding of human emotion. Otherwise, when it comes to communicating emotions across cultures, Easterners and Westerners will find themselves lost in translation.
    小题1:What were the people asked to do in the study?
    A．To make a face at each other.
    B．To get their faces impressive.
    C．To classify (分类) some face pictures.
    D．To observe the researchers' faces
    小题2:What does the underlined word "they" in Paragraph 6 refer to?
    A．The participants in the study.B．The researchers of the study.
    C．The errors made during the study.D．The data collected from the study.
    小题3:In comparison(比较) with Westerners, Easterners are likely to         .
    A．do translation more successfully
    B．study the mouth more frequently
    C．examine the eyes more attentively
    D．read facial expressions more correctly
    小题4:What can be the best title for the passage?
    A．The Eye as the Window to the Soul
    B．Cultural Differences in Reading Emotions
    C．Effective Methods to Develop Social Skills
    D．How to Increase Cross-cultural Understanding

    A holiday is any day when people lay aside their ordinary duties and cares. The word came from Old English. At first, holidays honored some holy events or persons. People in Great Britain and other countries speak of holidays as Americans speak of vacations.
    Every nation has its special holidays.

Some holidays celebrated special events in the development of a country, such as Greece’s Independence Day, Italy’s Liberation Day and India’s Independence Day.
