The Quad Cinema is located right in the heart of Greenwich Village，perhaps the most charming and interesting neighborhood in the city. Here are some attractions we recommend，all within a comfortable walk from the Quad Cinema：Washington Square ParkAs one of the best known of New York Citys 1,900 public parks，it is a landmark in the Manhattan neighborhood of Greenwich Village，as well as a meeting place and center for cultural activity. Come on a Sunday when its most lively and festive.New York UniversityIt surrounds Washington Square. See the impressive Bobst Library and visit the amazing bookstores. NYU is now considered one of the most powerful universities in the world.Judson Memorial ChurchLocated in the south of Washington Square between Thompson Street and Sullivan Street，opposite Washington Square Park，this beautiful church was completed in 1892.The Judson Memorial Church is most famous for its vocal participation in social events.Washington MewsIt is a hidden，private street in New York City between Fifth Avenue and University Place，just north of Washington Square Park. It was first developed as a mews (马厩街)that serviced horses from homes in the area. Since the 1950s the former stables have served as housing，offices and other facilities for New York University.Jefferson Market CourthouseBuilt in 1833 as a market，it was later changed to a courthouse，and in the 1950s it was emptied and close to being destroyed. It was saved and turned into a library. Many consider it to be the most beautiful building in the village.21The author mentions Washington Square Park because .Ait is in the center of Greenwich VillageBit has a history of more than 100 yearsCit is a landmark in the Manhattan neighborhoodDit has witnessed so many political incidents22Where is the Judson Memorial Church?AIn the south of Washington Square.BBehind Washington Square Park.COpposite Thompson Street.DClose to New York University.23When Washington Mews came into being， .Ait was designed for a universityBit was intended for keeping horsesCit was filled with free facilitiesDit was used as a park for horsesBMy friend Jennifer was going to be at my school! I was convinced that we would be best buds. She introduced me to her friend Amy and we had lots of fun together. But things started to change. Jennifer wanted to be the leader of our little group. She was controlling, and I couldnt make new friends. If so, she would decide that I was mad at her. Pretty soon being Jennifers friend was a struggle. I always waited for Jennifer and Amy after class, but sometimes when they left, theyd walk right past me. No Thanks for waiting. No Sorry we took so long. It was as if they couldnt even see me. We often gossiped about people, and I soon realized that nobody was good enough for Jennifer. She had a list of bad things about everybody, even Amy, and about me, I guess I had changed-I became moody, depressed, and lonely. I spent days trying not to cry. I felt so left out. Finally, something snapped. I was incredibly sick of having to battle for friendship. I stopped sitting with Jennifer at lunch and waiting for her after class. Jennifer quickly announced I was mad at her. I said, Im not mad, I just want to make more friends. But with Jennifer, it was all or nothing, and she was convinced I was mad at her. So soon, our friendship fell to pieces. It was tough at first, but I found many girls whom Jennifer had classified as moody or mean to be the sweetest, friendliest people in the world.Now, I have tons of friends. They support me when I am sad, and I support them. We have fun together and I love them all. It amazes me how easy our friendship is. There is no struggling to be on top-we are all equal. It doesnt matter to me if two of them walk away or buy friendship necklaces together. It doesnt hurt my feelings or make me feel alone.I lost a friend, but I am a happier person now.24.

I thought it was a perfect examp1e of Ching1ish(中式英语).Obvious1y，it is a word-by-word trans1ation of the Chinese greetings in Eng1ish！Later on，my friend to1d me that it is a standard American greeting. But I didnt be1ieve her. So I did a research on googL. To my surprise，there are over 60 thousand web pages containing Long time no see. This sentence has been wide1y used in emai1s，1etters，newspapers，movies and even books . However，it needs to be corrected grammatica11y in Microsoft Word. It is be1ieved that it came from Char1ie Chans movies. In the 1930s，Ho11ywood movie makers successfu11y created a wor1dwide famous Chinese detective named Char1ie Chan on wide screens. “Long time no see was his trademark. Soon after Char1ie Chan，Long time no see became a popular phrase in the real world with thanks to the popularity of these movies.Some scholars refer to America as a huge pot of stew. A11 kinds of cultures are mixed in the Stew together，and they change the color and taste of each other. American Chinese，though a minority ethnic (少数民族)group in the US，is also contributing some changes to the stew!You can have some other examples than adoptions(吸纳)from Chinese，such as pizza from Italian, Susi from Japanese，and Djvu from French etc. There is a long list! Americans do not just simply borrow something from others. They try to make it their own. Since Americans appreciate Chinese culture more and more nowadays，I believe more Chinese words will become American English in the future. In this way the American stew keeps adding richness and flavor. 28. The writer himse1f fe1t surprised at .A. the Ching1ish expression Long time no seeB. finding out Americans use the expression everyday C. so many 1itera1 trans1ation of the expressions used in AmericaD. Long time no see” used as standard American Eng1ish 29. The word stew in the 4th paragraph probab1y means .A. a kind of cooked dish B. Confucius wordsC. mixture literature D. American changing cu1tures30.According to the passage，it can be inferred that .A. detectives trans1ate the phrase” Long time no seeB. adoptions in 1anguages rare1y happen in America C. Hollywood made” Long time no sees”popu1ar D. cu1tures cant be changed in the huge pot of stew31. The main idea of the passage is that .A. some American expressions can be used in China B. some Chinese expressions are introduced into Eng1ish C.you11 not be surprised at the tofu in a restaurant in America D. American Eng1ish keep being enriched from other cu1turesDIs losing weight as simple as doing a 15minute writing exercise? In a new study，women who wrote about their most important values，like close relationships or religion，lost more weight over the next few months than women who didnt. “We have this need to feel selfintegrity，” says Christine Logel of the University of Waterloo. “When something threatens your sense that youre a good person，like failing a test，we can buffer (减缓) that selfintegrity by reminding ourselves how much we love our children，for example”. For this study，the researchers recruited 45 female undergraduates，of whom 58% were overweight. Each woman was weighed，and was then given a list of important values，like creativity，music or relationships with friends and family members. Each woman ranked the values in order of how important they were to her. Then half the women were told to write for 15 minutes about the value that was most important to her. The other half，a control group，were told to write about why a value far down on their list might be important to someone else.The women came back months later to be weighed again. Women who had written about an important value lost an average of 3.41 pounds，while women in the control group gained an average of 2.76 pounds.“How we feel about ourselves can have a big effect，”Logel says. Maybe when one of the women who wrote about an important value went home that night，she felt good about herself and didnt eat to make herself feel better. Over a few months，that could make a real difference in her life.32. How can a 15minute writing exercise of important values affect people?A. They will feel proud of themselves and gain weight gradually.B. They may feel good about themselves and then eat less than usual.C. They may continue writing and decide to become a professional writer.D. They will never have meals at night to make themselves lose weight.33. What were the females required to do in the study?A. The overweight women wrote about the value most important to them.B. Only the control group was given a list of important values.C. Both groups ranked the values in order of importance to them.D. Each woman was weighed three times in the process of the study.34. Which of the following people may lose weight according to the new study?A. Mary who wrote about her own adventure.B. Catherine who described her illness in her writing.C. Shirley who wrote how much she loved her children.D. Alice who complained her boss in her diary.35. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?A. Women Values Losing WeightB. Losing Weight Is Very SimpleC. Writing Benefits Women a LotD.
