example, someone who likes to spend a lot of time sitting or lying down while watching television is sometimes called a couch potato. a couch is a piece of furniture that people sit on while watching television.robert armstrong, an artist from california, developed the term “couch potato”in 1976.several years later, he listed the term as a trademark with the united states government.mr.armstrong also helped write a funny book about life as a fulltime television watcher. it is called the “official couch potato handbook”couch potatoes enjoy watching television just as mouse potatoes enjoy working on computers.a computer mouse is the device that moves the pointer，or cursor, on a computer screen. the description of mouse potato became popular in 1993.american writer alice kahn is said to have invented the term to describe young people who spend a lot of time using computers.too much time inside the house using a computer or watching television can cause someone to get cabin fever.a cabin is a simple house usually built far away from the city.people go to a cabin to relax and enjoy quiet time.cabin fever is not really a disease. however，people can experience boredom and restlessness if they spend too much time inside their homes.this is especially true during the winter when it is too cold or snowy to do things outside.often children get cabin fever if they cannot go outside to play.so do their parents.this happens when there is so much snow that schools and even offices and stores are closed.some people enjoy spending a lot of time in their homes to make them nice places to live.this is called nesting or cocooning.birds build nests out of sticks to hold their eggs and baby birds.some insects build cocoons around themselves for protection while they grow and change.nests and cocoons provide security for wildlife.so people like the idea of nests and cocoons，too.the terms cocooning and nesting became popular more than twenty years ago.they describe people buying their first homes and filling them with many things.these people then had children.now these children are grownup and have left the nest.they are in college.or they are married and starting families of their own far away.now these parents are living alone without children in their empty nest.they have become empty nesters.36which of the following was first used?acouch potato. bcocooning.cmouse potato. dnesting.37_refers to a person who spends much time on computer.aa couch potato ba nesterca mouse potato dan empty nester38why can most people easily get cabin fever in winter?abecause they are addicted to computer games.bbecause they would like to play outside.cbecause it is so cold that they couldnt go outside.dbecause they are too busy at work or school.39whats the passage mainly about?ahow to get rid of cabin fever.bhow people become nesters or empty nesters.chow to spend your leisure time.dthe origin of some words.b(2013陕西高考)about 30 years ago，i left cuba for the united states with my son. after getting settled finally in brunswick, new jersey, i enrolled(注册) my son in kindergarten. several weeks later，my sons teacher asked me to meet him at his office.in the teachers office, an exchange of greetings was followed by his questions: “is your son mentally retarded (弱智的)? does he suffer from any kind of mental disability？”was he talking about my wonderful scola? no, no, it cant be. what a helpless, lonely moment! i told him that scola was a quiet, sweet little boy, instead. i asked him why he was asking me all these questions.my son could not follow the teachers directions, he told me, and thus, scola was disrupting the class. didnt he know my son did not speak english yet?he was angry: “why hasnt your son been taught to speak english? dont you speak english at home？”no，i didnt speak english at home, i replied. i was sure my son would learn english in a couple of months, and i didnt want him to forget his native language. well, wrong answer! what kind of person would not speak in english to her son at home and at all times? “are you one of those people who come to this country to save dollars and send them back to their country, never wanting to be a part of this society？”needless to say, i tried to tell him i was not one of “those people”. then he told me the meeting was over, and i left.as i had expected, my son learned to speak english fluently before the school year was over. he went on to graduate from college and got a job, earning close to six figures. he travels widely and leads a welladjusted, contented life. and he has benefited from being bilingual(双语的)speaking more than one language allows people to communicate with others; it teaches people about other cultures and other placessomething very basic and obviously lacking in the “educator” i met in new jersey.40the teacher asked the author to his office_.ato discuss scolas inclass performancebto get scola enrolled in kindergartencto find a language partner for scoladto work out a study plan for scola41what does the underlined word “disrupting” in paragraph 4 probably mean?abreaking. bfollowing.cattending. ddisturbing.42the authors attitude towards being bilingual may best be described as_.acritical bcasualcpositive dpassive43this text is likely to be selected from a book of_.amedicine beducationcgeography dhistorycso there you can on the phone，you ask a question，and suddenly theres silence.what is this，the phones gone dead，the person youre talking to is dead？possibly.but there could be another reasonthe other person could be finnish，or japanese.according to a handy new booklet from british telecom(bt)for business people，in countries such as britain and italy “conversation is a form of entertainment.there is a continuous flow of talk.”but in other countries especially finland and japan，“it is not only impolite to break in，but listeners will think over what has been said in silence.”it also points out that english，when spoken by foreigners，it likely to include plenty of “false friends”，where wordforword translation fails.if a frenchman says something is “interesting”，he probably means its profitable.if he“demands” something，hes actually just asking.if an american says your proposal is “quite good”，you should be pleased，because “quite”means “very”but if he tells you to “table” a proposal，then things are not good at all.whereas an english person would understand tabling a proposal as putting an idea forward，to an american it means shelves it.according to the booklet british people are not “explicit” like the americans，the dutch，the germans or the french.“if a dutchman says an idea is interesting, he means that it is interesting. if an englishman says it is interesting，you have to deduce (推论) from the way he says it whether he means it is a good or bad idea.”the japanese, the russians and the arabs on the other hand，live in the land of true diplomatic subtlety (微妙的). “if they say an idea is interesting, it may simply be out of politeness”it is safest to stick with plain speaking whenever possible，bt advises its british readers.and whatever you do，be careful to limit the use of the famous british sense of humor.44when someone says that an idea is interesting, who dont really mean it?athe dutch. bthe french.cthe british. dthe japanese.45while speaking in english, a foreigner seems_.ato use the words “false friends” quite oftenbto have difficulty in expressing himself clearlycto have a strong foreign accentdto keep on forgetting english words46it can be inferred from the passage that the best thing to do while talking to others, especially to foreigners, is to_.aspeak as a diplomatbavoid being somewhat entertainingcspeak with a sense of humordbe fully aware of culture differences47the best title of this passage is_.athe way people talkbthe british a different nationalitycenglishan international languagedtelephone calls and

music in 2001，i have spent a good deal of time painting as an artist.i actually began drawing again in the summer of 1995 when my father died，so perhaps i was trying to recover from the loss of my father，or maybe it was just that it brought back memories of him.in any case，i drew pen and ink animals and landscapes(风景画)much influenced(影响)by krenkel and st.john for five years. for some strange reason，i had been waiting until my retirement to start doing watercolors again，but as soon as i walked out of the school door for the last time i picked up my brushes and rediscovered andrew wyeth，who quickly became my favorite artist.i had looked through all the art books i had on my shelves and found his watercolors to be the closest to how i thought good watercolors should look.so i painted landscapes around minnesota for three years and tried out many other types of painting.however，watercolors remained my first choice，and i think i did my best work there，showing my paintings at a number of art exhibitions.art is now together with my piano playing and reading.there is a time for everything in my world，and it is wonderful to have some time doing what i want to do.as confucius
