They will keep on talking to fill any quietness if it lasts for more than a moment. Students often study with their radios on, housewives leave their TVs on for the companionship(陪伴) of sound even though they may be working in some other rooms. If you are silent for a long time, they will do their best to draw you out or will ask if you feel all right or if theres anything they can do to help you. However, one way of silence can be puzzling(迷惑的).If Americans dont agree with you, many of them will keep quiet. This may not show agreement, often it only means that they think it rude to have a quarrel(争吵). 46. If you dont speak for a moment, an American will_.

People came just to hear him play. But one night, a lady asked him to sing a song. I cant sing, said the man. But the lady told the waiter, Im tired of(厌倦) listening to the piano. I want the player to sing! The waiter shouted across the room, Hey, friend! If you want to get paid, sing a song! So he did. He had never sung in public before. Now he was singing for the very first time! Nobody had ever heard the song Mona Lisa sung so beautifully! He had talent(天赋) he was sitting on! He may have lived the rest of his life as a no-name piano player in a no-name bar. But once he found that he could sing well, he carried on working hard and became one of the best-known singers in the US. His name was Nat King Cole. You, too, have skills and abilities. You may not feel that your talent is great, but it may be better than you think. With hard work, most skills can be improved. Moreover, you may have no success at all if you just sit on your talent. 49. The words sit on in the passage probably mean _. A. 搁置 B. 列席 C. 发展 D. 展示50.

Which could be the best title for the passage? A. Sing in the Bar B. Be Successful in Life C. Never Lose Heart D. Find Your Hidden TalentC Hundreds of years ago, news was carried from place to place by people on foot or by horse. It took days, weeks and sometimes months for people to receive news. Now it is possible to send words and pictures around the world in seconds. Billions of people learn about news stories of their own country and all over the world every day either by watching TV or reading newspapers. Newspapers have been an important part of everyday life since the 18th century. Many countries have hundreds of different newspapers. How do newspaper editors(编辑) decide which news stories to print? Why do they print some stories and not others? What makes a good newspaper story? Firstly, it is important to report new stories. TV stations can report news much faster than newspapers, but newspapers give more about the same story. They may also look at the story in another way, or they may print completely(完全地) different stories from those on TV. Secondly, a new story has to be interesting and unusual. People dont want to read stories about everyday life. As a result, many stories are about some kinds of danger and seem to be bad news. For example, newspapers never print stories about planes landing safely, instead they print stories about air crashes. Another factor(因素) is also very important in many news stories. Many people are interested in news in foreign countries, but more like to read stories about people, places and events in their own country. So the stories on the front page in Chinese newspapers are usually very different from the ones in British, French and American newspapers. 52. According to the passage, how do people learn about news stories in the world now? A. They tell others news stories from place to place on foot or by horse. B. They learn about news stories by watching TV or reading newspapers. C. They tell each other what they have seen with their eyes. D. They listen to the radio every day to get some information.53. The difference between newspaper stories and TV news reports is that people can_. A. learn more about the same news story from a newspaper B. read the news story more quickly in a newspaper C. read news stories in other countries D. watch TV news reports about their own country54. According to the passage, which of the following can you most possibly watch on TV? A. Every day most people go to work by underground. B. A student in our class was hurt when we had a PE lesson. C. A tiger in the city zoo has run out and hasnt been caught. D. The bike in front of your house is lost for a few days.55. Which of the following is NOT true in this passage? A. People like to read interesting and unusual news instead of stories about daily lrfe. B. News stories on the front page of every country are always the same. C. Both TV and newspapers can help people learn what is happening around the world. D. Newspapers have been an important part of everyday life for more than 300 years.D SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA-Nearly eight hundred million people in this world cannot read or write, most of them in developing countries. Two-thirds are women and girls. John Wood who started the Room to Read campaign(运动), has set up 1,650 schools and 15,000 libraries in some of the worlds poorest communities. He said that from the beginning, Room to Reads goal was to reach 10 million children around the world in the poorest countries. In 1998, on a three-week vacation journey in Nepal, Wood met a local headteacher who invited him to visit. his school in a far mountain village. The experience changed Woods life. This headteacher had 450 students at the school, but he didnt have any books, Wood said. Wood promised to fill the library shelves and returned to the village a year later with some of his friends with 3,000 books. And that was just the start. Later, Wood used some of his personal money to start Room to Read. He believes that world change begins with educated children. Today, the programme can be found in 10 countries across Asia and Africa. Wood believes the key to the programs success is local support. While Room to Read givesaway money and provides books, communities offer land and parents help build the school. Agnes, a Room to Read teacher in Zambia who also runs the library, is happy to say the literacy at her school has improved. Room to Reads biggest challenge(挑战) is the huge need. Hundreds of communities have asked for literacy programmes. One way of Room to Reads success is that it will reach 10 million kids by 2015, five years earlier than it is planned. 56. Room to Read campaign works to_. A. ask parents to read together with their children B. help poor children to learn to read and write C. tell more people the importance of reading D. help 10 million children to go to college57. When John Wood travelled in Nepal in 1998, he_. A. visited many local schools B. sent many books to local children C. started the Room to Read campaign D. met a man who changed his life58.
