People who sit so close together are using them to keep 29 distance. As the bus came near the Mile, a 30 suddenly rang out, “Attention! This is your 31 speaking.” We looked at the back of the drivers head. “Put your 32down, all of you.” The papers came down. “Now, turn and 33 the person next to you.” Surprisingly we all did it. Still no one smiled. I faced an old woman. I saw her34 every day. We waited for the next 35 from the driver. “Now repeat after me. Good morning, neighbor!” But our voices were a little 36.

A survey of British parents showed the aspirations (志向) of their children are greatly different from what they dreamed about when considering who they wanted to be when they grew up.Although astronaut (宇航员) still remains fairly high on the list of careers (事业) kids dream about these days, others like doctor and teacher have been taken the place of by the desire (欲望) to win good name and money as a sporting hero, pop star or actor.The parents of children aged 5 to 11 said the choice of lawyer had dropped by only one place on a top 10 list to sixth, while teacher had dropped to ninth from top in the last 25 or more years.The survey for British TV channel “Watch” found a great difference between the genders (性别) of todays young people when compared with their parents dreams 25 years or more ago. Playing professional football, being an astronaut and joining the firefighting service topped the boys choices, while girls are more likely to be dreaming of taking to the stage as a pop star or actress or joining the medical profession.When asked what they would like their children to do for a living, todays parents still like the academic (学术的) professions (职业), with law and medicine scoring highly, while being a boss came third.Parents also praised job happiness above wealth (财富) when it comes to their hopes for their children.

BAbout twenty years ago I had the pleasure of teaching a disabled young woman. Not only was she good at math and science, but she was also extremely talented in art. She could draw and paint beautifully. When Audrey graduated from university she got two degrees, one in fine arts and one in chemistry. Not too many people do well in two such different areas of study. Just before her high school graduation, Audrey gave me a wonderful gift. It was a watercolor painting of a mother and her baby. A tear fell from the mothers eye as she looked lovingly at her child. Beneath the painting Audrey had written these words: “The deep love from Mother, through me, touches another.” What a beautiful gift! I had the piece of art framed(给做框) and hung in my office.Years passed with many moves from one office to another and I lost the painting. Last year, after about eight years of not knowing where it was, I received a phone from a former colleague who said she had something of mine. It was the picture Audrey had painted for me 18 years ealier. When cleaning out a storage room she had discovered my gift.I was struck that the precious gift came back. I knew Audrey very well. When she was four years old Audrey had a serious disease. Whats worse, her father left the house. It was her mother who brought her up with much trouble. She survived the disease but was disabled.To any other it is just a painting, but to me it shows how a mothers love has helped develop a talent and how its power pushes me ahead.51.

CWe are all called upon to make a speech at some point in life, but most of us dont do a very good job. This article gives some suggestions on how to give an effective speech. So, you have to give a speech- and youre terrified. You get nervous, you forget what you want to say, you stumble over words, you talk too long, and you bore your audience. Later you think, “Thank goodness, its over. Im just no good at public speaking. I hope I never have to do that again. ” Cheer up! It doesnt have to be that bad. Here are some simple steps to take the pain out of speech making. Ask yourself the purpose of your speech. What is the occasion? Why are you speaking? Then, gather as many facts as you can on your subject. Spend plenty of time doing your research. Then spend plenty of time organizing your material so that your speech is clear and easy to follow. Use as many examples as possible, and use pictures, charts, and graphs if they will help you make your points more clearly. Never forget your audience. Dont talk over their heads, and dont talk down to them. Treat your audience with respect. They will appreciate your thoughtfulness. Just remember: be prepared. Know your subject, your audience, and the occasion. Be brief. Say what you have to say and then stop. And be yourself. Let your personality come through so that you make person-to -person contact with your audience. If you follow these simple steps, youll see that you dont have to be afraid of public speaking. In fact, you may find the experience so enjoyable that you volunteer to make more speeches! Youre not convinced yet? Give it a try and see what happens. 55. The main idea of this article is _.

It can help you as a single home owner. It can help the whole country as well. Whether or not solar energy can save your money depends on many things. Where you live is one factor and the type of home you have is another. Things like insulation (绝缘材料), present energy costs, and the type of system you buy are added factors. Using solar energy can help save our precious fuel. As you know, our supplies of oil and gas are very limited. There is just not enough on hand to meet all our future energy needs. Sooner or later Mother Nature will say thats all. The only way we can delay hearing those words is by starting to save energy now and by using other sources, like the sun. We wont have to worry about the suns running out of energy for another several billion years or so. Besides, the sun doesnt offer as many problems as other energy sources. For example, fossil fuel(矿物燃料) adds to already high pollution levels. With solar energy, we will still need sources of energy, but we wont need as much. That means we can cut down on our pollution problems.With all these good points, why dont we use more solar power? There are many reasons for this. The biggest reason is money. Until now, it was just not practical for a home owner to put in a solar unit. There were cheaper sources of energy. All that is changing now. Solar costs are starting to equal the costs of oil and electricity. Experts say that gas, oil and electricity prices will continue to rise. The demand for electricity is increasing rapidly. But new power plants will use more gas, oil or coal. Already in some places the supply of electricity is being rationed (限量供应). Solar energy is now in its infancy (初期). It could soon grow to become a major part of our nations energy supply.60. Whats this passage mainly about? A. Something about solar energy and pollution. B. Solar energy. C. Energy and pollution. D. Energy and money.61. Solar energy can help us _. A. escape punishment from nature B. become home owners C. get rid of present energy D. save our precious fuel62. The sun is an endless source of energy, and it will not run out of energy for _. A. several million years B. several hundred years C. several billion years D. several thousand years
