Ive been in some of the grandest houses in America，and its clear that no one lives there. Earlier this year，I had dinner in a mud hut in Ethiopia，where we sat on chairs next to the hostess beda home that had more warmth than any house Ive been in since.Now John Edwards is exploring what makes a house a home in his justreleased (发行)Home: The Blueprints of Our Lives. There Edwards writes，“This isnt a book about houses；its a book about homes. About the values they rest on，the dreams they are filled with，and the people they have shaped. ”Edwards writes，“The houses and circumstances are different，but much of what you find inside will be familiar.”Whether youre sitting in an airport right now，waiting to fly to your childhood home for Thanksgiving，or in your own home waiting for the relatives to arrive，you know what hes talking about.Weve lived in our townhouse for 21 years. Its home now. The loose windows that shake in the wind. The fireplace so shallow- it holds only one log. The kitchen window that offers a view of the world passing by. Its where friends sit on the kitchen counter drinking wine while dinner is being fixed. I lived there for only 18 years，but it will always be my true home. Even the lamp in the west living room window，which I could see far down the road when driving home late at night，still shines.While all this talk about childhood memories can be warm and comforting，home is whom youre with，not where you are. As Edwards writes，“Home is family. Home is safety. Home is faith.”Happy homecoming.46According to the author，what makes a house a home?AAll the belongings in the house.BFeelings of warmth and comfort.CThe houses and circumstances.DDrinking with friends on the kitchen counter.47About the book Home: The Blueprints of Our Lives，we know that _.Ait helps us understand the concept(概念)of homeBit is mainly about housesCit was the description of Edwards housesDit was written by the author of the text48What did the author mean when he mentioned the loose windows and the shallow fireplace?AHis house was too old to live in.BHe missed the feeling of home.CHe hated living there.DHe missed his old friends too much.BSwim Birthday Parties Ages 3 and up.Pool parties are during recreation swim in the 25-yard pool.

Apple has cleverly taken advantage of the power of the letter “i” and many other brands are following suit. The BBCs iPlayer which allows Web users to watch TV programs on the Internet adopted the title in 2008. A lovely bear popular in the US and UK that plays music and video is called “iTeddy”. A slimmed-down version of Londons Independent newspaper was launched last week under the name “i”.In general, single-letter prefixes have been popular since the 1990s, when terms such as e-mail and e-commerce first came into use.Most “i” products are targeted at young people and considering the major readers of Independents “i”, its no surprise that theyve selected this fashionable name.But its hard to see whats so special about the letter “i”. Why not use “a”, “b”, or “c” instead? According to Tony Thorne, head of the Language Center at Kings College, London, “i” works because its meaning has become ambiguous. When Apple uses “i”, no one knows whether it means Internet, information, individual or interactive, Thorne told BBC Magazines. “Even when Apple created the iPod, it seems it didnt have one clear definition,” he says.“However, thanks to Apple, the term is now associated with portability.” adds Thorne.Clearly the letter “i” also agrees with the idea that the Western World is centered on the individual. Each person believes they have their own needs, and we love personalized products for this reason.Along with “Google” and “blog”, readers of BBC Magazines voted “i” as one of the top 20 words that have come to define the last decade.But as history shows, people grow tired of fads. From the 1900s to 1990s, products with “2000” in their names became fashionable as the year was associated with all things advanced and modern. However, as we entered the new century, the trend inevitably disappeared.53. People use iPlayer to _.A. listen to music B. make a callC. watch TV programs online D. read newspapers54. We can infer that the Independents “i” is aimed at _.A. young readers B. old readers C. fashionable women D. engineers55. The underlined word “ambiguous” means “_”.A. popular B. uncertain C. definite D. unique56. The writer suggests that _.A. “i” products are often of high qualityB. iTeddy is a live bearC. the letter “b” replaces letter “i” to name the productsD. the popularity of “i” products may not last longD Nearly everyone is shy in some ways. If shyness is making you uncomfortable, it may be time for a few lessons in self-confidence. You can build your confidence byfollowing some suggestions from doctors and psychologists. Make a decision not to hold back in conversations. What you have to say is just as important as what other people say. And dont turn down party invitations just because of your shyness. Prepare for yourself for being with others in groups. Make a list of the good qualities you have. Then make a list of ideas, experiences, and skills you would like to share with other people .Think about what you would like to say in advance. Then say it. If you start feeling self-conscious in a group, take a deep breath and focus your attention on other people, Remember, you are not alone. Other people are concerned about the impression they are making, too. No one ever gets over being shy completely, but most people do learn to live with their shyness. Even entertainers admit that they often feel shy. They work at fighting their shy feelings so that they can face the cameras and the public. Just making the effort to control shyness can have many rewards. But perhaps the best reason to fight shyness is to give other people a chance to know about you.57.

The attempt to overcome shyness is always rewarding60. Who probably gives the suggestion for fighting shyness? A. The author of the article B. Shy men and womenC. Doctors and psychologists D. Popular entertainers第二节：信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从下框AF选项中选出能概括每段主题的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。选项中有一项为多余项。A. Each coin has two sides.B. Cherish every chance and be confidentC.
