I can, however, tell you that it still happens occasionally, but it doesnt bother meAs their father，I often say things that are unpopularIf they hate me once in a while，I know Im doing a good job There are three other words that I wont allow in my house, however. Last week，I was watching my older son play with a paper airplaneAfter he accidentally threw it into a wall and it came apart，his eyes welled up with tears I hate myself, he said. It wasnt the first time hed said it, and I was concerned that hed started to actually believe itI knelt down next to him and made him look into my eyesI told him that I never wanted to hear those words again，and that he needed to respect himself The difference between your kid telling you they hate you and them saying they hate themselves is that， five minutes later，theyve already forgotten they hate youSelf-hate is much more potentially poisonous and for young people, it can linger into the rest of their life I know this is true，because I didnt have a high opinion of myself as a childI found myself struggling in many areas，and Id hate to see my children suffer the same destiny Sometimes，words are just wordsBut some words can make the kind of influenceId very much like to avoid for my childrenI dont fear strong language；I fear language that makes us weak21. On hearing his kids saying I hate you，the author might _ A. feel unhappyB. get angryC. not allow itD. not care much22. Why wont the author allow the three words I hate myself？ A. Because its not polite to say such wordsB. Because it doesnt make any sense to scold oneselfC. Because it will have a bad influence on the childrenD. Because it hurts the parents deeply when their kids say so23. Which of the following can best replace the underlined word linger in paragraph 4？ A. begin to changeB. continue to existC. stay out of orderD. become out of dateBA Different Way to Work: Become a Bike Courier(快递员)Roadwise Couriers is now accepting applications for bike couriers. Business is booming, so we need your help. This would be the perfect job for a person desiring a job that keeps them fit, while providing a fun and interesting job that gets you out of the office. Our hours are Monday to Friday, from noon to 800 pm, leaving your morning and weekends free. Ideal candidates possess excellent customer service skills. Our customers place a lot of value on reliability, so we are interested in people who have a good work ethic (职业道德) and honor their commitments. All-season cycling experience is a big plus. A reliable bicycle is a MUST to be considered for this position. We know that this is the Internet era, and most of you are used to e-mailing your applications to employers. However, because we like to get a good feel for each applicant, we would like you to apply in person. Address: Roadwise CouriersJob Location: Albany Quartermain Building, Suite # 91Position Available: Immediately 104 Osterman RoadPosted: 3/12 Albany, NY 20174 Roadwise Couriers Quartermain Building, Suite # 91 104 Osterman Road Albany, NY 20174 Dear Ms Lemmon, I am writing in response to the bicycle courier placed in the Albany Times last week. I want to write before I come in, so as to save time for both of us. I am a full time college student at Albany State looking for work, and am interested in becoming a courier with Roadwise. I have most of the necessary skills your advertisement suggested: I have a very good bicycle that, except for the occasional flat tire, never fails to get me from my dormitory to my classes. I have a good work ethic, as evidenced by the high grades I have received in college. I have never been a courier before, but I am very comfortable with my bike and quite familiar with the Albany area. I do have a question about the position, however. My question is actually about your work hours. I am not against working late but it seems to me that it would be quite dangerous to work after 600 pm, at certain times of the year, particularly over the winter months, due to the lack of sunlight. Bicycling at night is always dangerous. Its difficult to see road dangers ahead of you and its difficult for vehicles to see you. If you are still interested in hiring me, I believe I would make an excellent courier for your company. Please call me at 717-912-1551 if you have additional questions. Sincerely, David Sword 24.

Work equipment.D. Work ethic.CWugging, or web use giving, describes the act of giving to charity at no cost to the user. By using Everyclick. Com, which is being added to a number of university computers across the UK, students can raise money every time they search, but it wont cost them a penny Research shows that students are extremely passionate about supporting charity - 88% of full-time students have used the Internet to give to charity. This figure is high because this age group is often the least likely to have their own income. 19% of 22 to 24 year olds have short-term debts of more than 5，000. With rising personal debt levels in this age group, due to university tuition fees or personal loans and a lack of long-term savings, traditional methods of donating to charity are often not possible Beth Truman，a 21 year old recent university graduate，has used Everyclickcom to donate to her chosen charity, the RSPCA, for two years and has seen the wugging movement grow in popularity with studentsWhen youre at university you become more socially aware，but its sometimes hard to give to others when you have little money yourself， says BethWugging is great for people in this age group as it allows them to use the technology on a daily basis to give to charity, without costing them a single penny Wugging is perfect for people who want to be more socially aware and supportive but dont feel they have the means to do soStudents using the web can raise money for causes they care about without costing them anything in terms of time or money Everyclickcom works like any other search engine，allowing users to search for information，news and images but users can decide which of the UKs 170，000 charities they would like to support through their clicksEveryclickcom then makes monthly payments to every registered（注册的） charityLaunched in June 2005， Everyclickcom is now the eighth largest search engine and one of the busiest charity websites in the UK28.

The BBCs iPlayer-which allows Web users to watch TV programs on the Internet-used the title in 2008. A lovely bear-popular in the US and UK-that plays music and video is called iTeddyA slimmed-down version（简装本）of Londons Independent newspaper was launched last week under the name i In general，single-letter prefixes（前缀）have been popular since the 1990s， when terms such as e-mail and e-commerce first came into use Most i products are targeted at young people and considering the major readers of Independents i， its no surprise that theyve selected this fashionable name But its hard to see whats so special about the letter i. Why not use a， b，or c instead？ According to Tony Thorne，head of the Language Center at Kings College，London，i works because its meaning has become ambiguous. When Apple uses i，no one knows whether it means Internet， information， individual or interactive，Thorne told BBC Magazines Even when Apple created the iPod， it seems it didnt have one clear definition， he says However，thanks to Apple，the term is now connected with portability adds Thorne Clearly the letter i also agrees with the idea that the Western World is centered on the individualEach person believes they have their own needs，and we love personalized products for this reason Along with Google and blog，readers of BBC Magazines voted i as one of the top 20 words that have come to define the last decade But as history shows，people grow tired of fadsFrom the 1900s to 1990s， products with 2000 in their names became fashionable as the year was connected with all things advanced and modernHowever，as we entered the new century，the fashion disappeared32. People use iPlayer to _ A. listen to musicB. make a callC. watch TV programs onlineD. read newspapers33. We can infer that the Independents i is designed for _ A. young readersB. old readersC. fashionable womenD. engineers34. The underlined word ambiguous means _ A. popularB. uncertainC. clearD. unique35. The writer suggests that _ A. i products are often of high qualityB. iTeddy is a live bearC. the letter b replaces letter i to name the productsD. the popularity of i products may not last long第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Your children are watching you.
