2 through the streets of Brooklyn NY on a child s sleigh to the subway 3 entrance Once there he would cling to the handrail 4 until he reached the lower steps that the warmer tunnel air kept ice free In Manhattan the subway station was the 5 basement of his office building and he would not have to go 6 outside again until we met him in Brooklyn 7 on his way home When I think of it now I marvel at how much 8 courage it must have taken for a grown man to 9 subject himself to such indignity and stress And at how he did it without 10 bitterness or complaint Passage 2 Many people think they can t 1afford help with the house The belief that household help is only for the 2 wealthy is a stubborn myth We need to view hiring help 3 as a time management tool for busy people 4 On the other hand there are also costs 5 involved to not hiring help health problems like 6 stress lack of time for exercise and sleep 7 deprivation lost income where the hours 8 spent cleaning could have been used to 9 pursue career goals and the strain on your marriage that could lead to money spent on counseling or even a 10 divorce Passage 3 Are you a compulsive 1 spender or do you hold on to your money as long as possible Are you a 2 bargain hunter Would you rather use charge accounts than pay 3 cash Your answers to these questions will 4 reflect your personality According to psychologists our individual money habits not only show our beliefs and values but can also 5 stem from past problems Experts in psychology believe that for many people money is an important 6 symbol of strength and influence Husbands who 7 compain cabout their wives spending habits may be afraid that they are losing 8 power in their marriage Wives on the other hand may waste huge 9 amounts of money because they are angry at their husbands In addition many people consider money a symbol of love They spend it on their family and friends to 10 express love or they buy themselves expensive presents because they need love Passage 4 Friendship is a very difficult thing It is hard to 1 handle In fact I would say that friendship is as hard to handle as 2 love is or even marriage Of course I am not talking about easy come easy go friendship I m talking about friends who 3 care deeply about each other who support each other who make life 4 worth living I m talking about friends you can 5 share almost everything with My friendship with Kathy was real friendship She made me laugh She made me feel 6 wanted She understood me She was never 7 too busy to see me We were sixteen when we met at the local technical college and we were both doing the 8 same course I was very nervous the day I started and Kathy was the first person I talked to 9 As a result I really enjoyed my year at the Tech Like I say she was fun she was lively she was sure of herself And a little bit of her character 10 rubbed off on me Part IV Reading Comprehension Directions Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements For each of them there are four choices marked A B C and D Choose the one you think is the best answer Passage 1 Crime has its own cycles a magazine reported some years ago According to the police records that have been studied for five years from over 2400 cities and towns a surprising link is shown between changes in the season and crime patterns The pattern of crime has varied very little over a long period of years Murder reaches its high during July and August as do other violent attacks Murder moreover is more than seasonal it is a weekend crime It is also a nighttime crime 62 percent of murders are committed between 6 p m and 6 a m Unlike the summer high in crimes of bodily harm robbing has a different cycle You are most likely to be robbed between 6 p m and 2 a m on a Saturday night in December January or February The month with least crimes of all May except for one strange fact More dog bites are reported in this month than in any other month of the year Apparently our seasonal cycles of knowledge are completely different from our tendencies for crimes Professor Huntington made extensive studies to discover the seasons when people read serious books attend scientific meetings and get highest results on examinations In all cases he found a spring high and autumn high separated by a summer low Possibly high temperature and high humidity 湿度 cause our strange and violent summer actions but police officials are not sure There is of course no proof of a connection between humidity and murder they say Why murder s high time should come in the

between changes in the seasons and crime patterns B crime is not linked to the cycle of the weekdays C there is sure connection between murder and hot weather D there is a connection between robbing and murder 3 A murder would most likely occur A A on a weekend night in summer B on a weekend afternoon in summer C on a weekend night in winter D on a weekday afternoon in spring 4 The passage tells

whether there is a connection between humidity and murder B Murder and robbery mainly occur in summer C There is no proof that murder frequently occurs in summer D High temperature and high humidity lead to high crime rate in summer Passage2 How men first learned to invent words is unknown All we really know is that men unlike animals somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings actions and things so that they could communicate with each other and that later they agreed upon certain signs called letters which could be combined to represent those sounds and which could be written down Those sounds whether spoken or written in letters we call words The power of words then lies in their associations the things they bring up before our minds Words become filled with meaning for us by experience and the longer we live the more certain words recall to us the happy and sad events of our past the more we read and learn the larger the number of words that mean something to us becomes Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to out minds and feelings This attractive use of words
