i come to new york tell him front of his boss. ”and so i turned to the stockbroker again, “i cant tolerate any more excuses. if i dont receive the check immediately, i am going to have to speak to your manager when i am in new york next week.”the next week we ended up in new york. while i was sitting there red-faced, my mother, the real mrs. tan, was shouting to his boss in her broken english. when i was a teenager, my mothers broken english embarrassed me. but now, i see it differently. to me, my mothers english is perfectly clear, perfectly natural. it is my mother tongue. her language, as i hear it, is vivid, direct, and full of observation and wisdom. it was the language that helped shape the way i saw things, expressed ideas, and made sense of the world. 56. why was the authors mother poorly served? a. she was unable to speak good english.b. she was often misunderstood.c. she was not clearly heard.d. she was not very polite. 57. from paragraph 2, we know that the author was _. a. good at pretendingb. rude to the stockbrokerc. ready to help her motherd. unwilling to phone for her mother 58. after the author made the phone call, _. a. they forgave the stockbrokerb. they failed to get the checkc. they went to new york immediatelyd. they spoke to their boss at once 59. what does the author think of her mothers english now? a. it confuses her.b. it embarrasses her.c. it helps her understand the world.d. it helps her tolerate rude people. 60. we can infer from the passage that chinese english _. a. is clear and natural to non-native speakersb. is vivid and direct to non-native speakersc. has a very bad reputation in americad. may bring inconvenience in americabthe poverty line is the minimum income that people need for an acceptable standard of living. people with incomes below the poverty line are considered poor. economists study the causes of poverty in order to find solutions to the problem.as the general standard of living in the country rises, the poverty line does, too. therefore, even with todays relatively high standard of living, about 10 percent of the people in the united states are below the poverty line. however, if these people had stable jobs, they could have an acceptable standard of living. economists suggest several reasons why poor people do not have jobs. for one thing, more than half of the poor people in the united states are not qualified to work. over 40 percent of the poor people are children. by law, children less than 16 years old cannot work in many industries. a large number of poor people are old. many companies do not hire people over 65 years old the normal retirement age. some poor adults do not look for jobs for a variety of personal reasons: they are sick, they do not have any motivation, they have family problems, or they do not believe that they can find a job. other poor people look for a job but cannot find one. many poor adults never went to high school. therefore, when they look for jobs, they have few skills that they can offer. at the present time, the government thinks it can reduce poverty in the country in the following ways. first, if the national economy grows, businesses and industries hire more workers. some of the poor who are qualified to look for jobs may find employment. then they will no longer be below the poverty line. second, if society invests in the poor, the poor will become more productive. if the government spends money on social programs, education, and training for poor people, the poor will have the skills to offer. then it is more likely that they can find jobs. finally, if the government distributes societys income differently, it raises some poor people above the poverty line. the government collects taxes from the non-poor and gives money to the poor. these payments to the poor are called welfare. since 1975 over 18 million people in the united states have received welfare per year. some economists are looking for better solutions to the poverty problem. however, at the present time, many people depend on welfare for a minimally acceptable standard of living. 61. the authors main purpose to write this article is _. a. to define （下定义）what the poverty line is b. to explain why some people live the poverty linec. to find solutions to the problem of povertyd. to show sympathy for those poor people 62. which of the following is not true? a. ten percent of the americans live a poor life. b. poor people are those who live below the poverty line.c. the poverty line rises as the general standard of living rises. d. the poverty line tends to be at the same level. 63. more than 40 percent of the poor people are children. this is mainly because _. a. they do not have enough motivationb. they are so young that they are deprived of chances to workc. they fail to get enough educationd. they are very poor in health 64. most of the american poor people are not qualified for employment because _. a. they do not have any motivation to workb. they are not very self-confidentc. they are too young or too old to workd. they have physical and family problems 65. we may conclude from the passage that _. a. better solutions to the poverty problem are not yet foundb. welfare will enable people to be richc. poor people will go out of the poverty line if they have chances to do businessd. employment is the best solution to the poverty problemcthe staff room is onestopenglishs exclusive （独家）subscription service, giving you access to our full database of resources as well as many other benefits. here is just a taste of how the staff room can help and enhance（强化）your teaching: 1. enjoy our entire database of resourcesyou will be able to access our full database of over 8,000 resources, searchable by age, level, language focus and topic; the database is added to every week, so youre always sure to find something new. from articles and tips on a range of teaching aspects and approaches, to ready-to-use worksheets and lesson plans, and from games to listening materials, youll have thousands of fantastic resources at your fingertips. 2. find everything you needwhether you teach children, teenagers, adults or business executives, onestopenglish is packed with resources for you. as a staff room member youll find a wealth of materials in the core （核心）subject areas that matter most to you, including grammar & vocabulary, exams. business & esp and young learners. youll also find a special clil section for content and language integrated learning teachers, regularly updated with new materials. 3. organize your teachingevery staff room member can benefit from a personal, interactive （交互的）learning calendar. this exciting new tool will allow you to save, organize and share all your favorite resources, and easily schedule your lessons in advance. you can find out more about the learning calendar here. 4. refresh your classes with topical news lessons and authentic listening materialsas part of your staff room subscription, well publish a news lesson from the guardian every week, edited at three different language levels and complete with student worksheets. youll also find regular news lessons from business spotlight as well as from spot on, a magazine written especially for teenagers studying english. our engaging listening materials include an ongoing series of authentic interviews with members of the public, an exclusive soap opera, and our exciting mini-plays on british culture : your students will be able to improve their listening skills with real-life contents and a huge variety of accents. 66. the purpose of the passage is to _. a. introduce the advantages of a column in a websiteb. persuade readers to join in an organizationc. give some advice on how to teach englishd. offer some suggestions on how to learn english 67. which
