in a 39 , carrying my table, smiling from ear to ear.“it is very pretty,” mother winter smiled at me. when she touched the coating she noticed that it was still wet. then she asked me why i had brought. i stood with 40 down. “were you supposed to bring this home?” she asked. “no, maam, ” i said.mother winters kicked the table over and all of the legs were 41 off. she made me throw the table

culture, but our very bodies as well. first, lets talk about culture. the difference between the mobile phone and its parent, the fixed-line phone, is that a mobile number corresponds to a person, while a landline goes to a place. if you call my mobile, you get me. if you call my fixed-line phone, you get whoever answers it. this has several implications（含义）. the most common one, however, and perhaps the thing that has changed our culture forever, is the “meeting” influence. people no longer need to make firm plans about when and where to meet. twenty years ago, a friday night would need to be arranged in advance. you needed enough time to allow everyone to get from their place of work to the first meeting place. now, however, a night out can be arranged on the run. it is no longer “see you there at 8”,but “text me around 8 and well see where we all are.” texting changes people as well. in their paper, “insights into the social and psychological effects of sms (short message service) text messaging, two british researchers distinguished between two types of mobile phone users: the “talkers” and the “texters”those who prefer voice to text messages and those who prefer text to voice. they found that the mobile phones individuality and privacy gave texters the ability to express a whole new outer personality. texters were likely to report that their family would be surprised if they were to read their texts. this suggests that texting allowed texters to present a self-image that differed from the one familiar to those who knew them well. another scientist wrote of the changes that mobiles have brought to body language. there are two kinds that people use while speaking on the phone. there is the “speakeasy”: the head is held high, in a self-confident way, chatting away. and there is the “spacemaker”: these people focus on themselves and keep out other people. who can blame them? phone meetings get cancelled or reformed and camera- phones intrude（侵入）on peoples privacy. so, it is understandable if your mobile makes you nervous. but perhaps you neednt worry so much. after all, it is good to talk.51. the “meeting” influence of a mobile phone refers to the fact that _.a. people can arrange their meeting place and time more flexiblyb. people have to make a firm plan about when and where to meetc. people are able to meet someone at any place and any timed. people have to attend phone meetings than ever before52. according to the two british researchers, the social and psychological effects are most likely to be seen on _. a. talkersb. the “speakeasy”c. the “spacemaker” d. texters53. according to the passage, who is afraid of being heard while talking on the mobile?a. talkersb. the “speakeasy”c. the “spacemaker” d. texters54. which of the following can be the best title of the passage?a. the influence of short message serviceb. changes caused by mobile phone usec. changes in the use of the mobiled. body language and the mobile

of school across the nation will not just be starting another summer of holidays to provide a break during semesters. leaving their safe havens (安全港), many of them are to take their first step into the world of adulthood, attending fast-paced, crowded universities, taking up part-time or full-time employment. many may even move from family homes in their pursuit of educational fulfillment or the “perfect” job opportunity. one ceremony that has become part of coming of age has been the senior prom (毕业舞会). the senior prom is an opportunity for youth to celebrate the entrance into the world of adulthood with color and formality. however, there is far more behind the social event than ever noticed.what is formal? formal means to present ones self to others in a way which is “with form”, with shape, polite, inoffensive and organized. we see the example of a formal letter; it uses proper grammar and sentence structure in order to be respectful, while at the same time serving a purpose or getting an important message across.in our society, what is formal? very little. on average, clothing, language, behavior - all is very informal. individuals who are formal (polite, inoffensive, organized) in their daily dealings with people are often looked upon as boring. yet in certain situations, individuals play with the concept of formality not truly to achieve respectfulness and order but because it becomes fashionable to do so. while a prom may seem, on the surface, like a fun opportunity to behave formally, it is actually a flowery version of halloween.on the occasion of the spring prom, we see flowering youth taking on the formalities of “adult”. fine dress, careful makeup, luxury cars all become part of being an adult. but being “adult” isnt that way.in our society we have a wrong idea of what adulthood actually is. it has always been my understanding that adulthood and maturity (成熟) are not based upon ones ability to hold a cigarette in a certain way or tie a bow tie. adulthood comes with understanding of ones place in the universe; it comes with the knowledge of how to interact with our fellow human beings; it comes with the ability to take responsibility for ones own actions - whether good or bad.58. the “safe havens” (paragraph 1) most probably refers to _.a. familiesb. high schoolsc. mother countriesd. hometowns59. in paragraph 3, the example of letter is given in order to _.a. show the importance of communicationb. discuss the purpose of a formal letterc. explain what real “formal” is liked. complain todays letters are too formal60. by describing a prom as “a flowery version of halloween” in the fourth paragraph, the writer means it is _.a. great funb. out of fashionc. actually informald. beautifully decorated61. the writer holds the opinion that being an adult means one can_.a. put on heavy makeupb. better get on with others c. learn to smoke cigarettesd. buy a luxury car or dressdit was an autumn morning shortly after my husband and i
