maleclerk replied, “only one 38 per yard.” 39 by the harassment(骚扰), the woman replied. “thats fine! ill take ten yards.”with happiness and 40 written all over his face, the clerk 41 measured out and 42 the cloth, then held it out teasingly, 43 forward to receive his “payment”.the woman snapped up（一把抢过）the package and 44 to a little old man standing beside her. “grandpa will kiss you. he will pay

that which is closed or unfair. if someone is said to have “yin si”, meddlers(好事者)will be attracted to pry into his or her affairs. so people always state that they dont have “yin si”.on the contrary, americans often declare their intention to protect their privacy. their understanding of privacy is that others have no right to pry(刺探) into things which belong to themselves alone and have nothing to do with others. one who is too curious and who spreads rumors is said to violate the right to privacy.in the evening, sonia and i went to a bar for dinner. in china, when people mention bars, something bad usually comes to mind. but here, the bar was a quiet and tastefully laid out place. people spoke quite softly, afraid of interrupting their neighbors, and sat face to face as they drank, sometimes three or five persons sitting together.this sort of atmosphere was totally different from my preconception, so i wanted to take a picture. sonia stopped me: “dont you see these people are pouring out their hearts? maybe they are colleagues, friends, or lovers. they came here looking for a peaceful place free from interruption by others. they wouldnt want to leave any trace of their having come here. so taking their picture would be a serious violation of their right to privacy.”is there privacy between husband and wife? one of sonias friends married a talented chinese man, but recently she became so angry that she wanted a divorce. the reason was that her husband had opened one of her letters and looked through her purse. the husband didnt realize that this is not tolerated in the us. he thought that being a couple was like being one person; why couldnt he see the letter or the contents of the purse? truly, everyone, even those living as a couple, needs roomnot only in space, but in the heart.56. sonia stopped me when i wanted to take a picture in the bar because . a. taking pictures in a bar was not allowed in americab. taking pictures in a bar would interrupt the neighborsc. people who came here are colleagues, friends or loversd. taking pictures in a bar would violate other peoples right to privacy57. which of the following is not the americans understanding of privacy? a. there is privacy even between couples.b. the right to privacy shouldnt be violated by others.c. other people have no right to pry into his or her affairs.d. privacy is connected with something that is unfair and bad.58. one of sonias friends wanted a divorce because . a. she thought her husband was not clever enough b. her husband didnt respect her right to privacyc. her husband always looked through her pursed. her husband always opened her letters59. according to the passage, we can do the followings in america except .a. declare that we have privacy b. take pictures in a national parkc. ask others about their marriage d. go to a bar with friendsbthe prestigious(久负盛名) peking university and tsinghua university held graduation ceremonies on the same day this year. the presidents of the two universities delivered excellent speeches at the ceremonies as they used words, phrases or ways of expression that are very popular on the internet currently. at the same time, graduation speeches by other university presidents were also under the spotlight(瞩目)for the same reason. their speeches were warmly welcomed by students as they contained many fashionable words today, such as “floating clouds” (meaning “too small and of little importance to mention”) and “gelivable”(meaning “very helpful”). in the speeches, these university presidents recalled campus life together with students and finally moved all the audiences. they were very different from the usual run of lectures.many university presidents have changed their regular manner of addressing graduation ceremonies from an advising and preaching(说教) mode to a more fashionable and funny approach. they try to use those words popular among young people in their speeches.in the past, university president speeches were criticized for being too standard and lacking sentiment(感情). now, they quote fashionable words in their addresses, reflecting they are starting to adopt more everyday attitudes to students. the use of these new expressions has triggered a heated discussion. it focuses on the question of whether university presidents should speak in an informal way at graduation ceremonies.supporters agree with the new approach. they consider it good to build close ties with students by using the youths own words. opponents argue the new ways have no practical value or importance for education but are merely to please those leaving university.60. what would be the best title for this passage? a. should university heads use terms of youthb. must university presidents learn to please studentsc. must university presidents meet students needsd. should university heads use newly-created words61. what can we infer from the passage? a. university presidents consider it good to build close ties with students.b. more and more students are eager to make speeches in public.c. the new ways of making speeches are popular with the young.d. university presidents have special opinions about the world.62. what does the underlined word “triggered” in paragraph 3 probably mean?a. break off b. set off c. sum up d. focus on63. which of the following is true according to the passage? a. many people are likely to be influenced by the internet.b. the writer thinks it necessary for us to follow the traditional customs.c. more and more words are changing with the development of technology.d. people argue about whether to use fashionable words on formal occasions.care you always busy?is your schedule hectic?do you sometimes forget to take time to eat?if you

sometimes say “no” and the world should get used to it.that message came through when china joined russia in blocking action on syria.“do not mistakenly think that because china takes a careful and responsible position on the syria issue, china will not use its veto power(否决权) or will always abstain(弃权),” said cui tiankai, chinas vice foreign minister, “when china must use its veto power to say no, it will surely use it.”on saturday, susan rice, the u.s. ambassador to the united nations, called the vetoes “disgusting and shameful.”he wenping, director of african studies at the chinese academy of social sciences, said the veto shows chinas confidence in foreign affairs. “a country expressing its true opinionthats progress. china opposes the use of threat or force to achieve regime(政权)change in other countries. this agrees with chinas long-standing diplomacy principle. it is also not acceptable for china to rush a u.n. vote without enough discussion.”so why did china use its veto this time?chinas critics say chinas veto for the u.n. draft proposal(草案) was in part due to beijings fear that allowing a regime change in syria could encourage the spread of the arab revolution and eventually threaten china.he wenping disagrees, “china has a completely different political system and economic development path. if someone in the international community thinks that the arab spring will happen in china, then i think they misjudge the situation in china, exaggerate（夸大） some problems in the chinese society and underestimate the ability of the chinese government to control the situation in china.”68. which of the following is true according to the passage? a. china often uses its veto power on international issues.b.
