by the British writer Graham Greene that I had marked A prejudice had something in common with an ideal In other words， ideals general descriptions of peoples expectations of themselves and others can often lead us to unreasonable ideas It got me thinking about how we often allow ourselves to generalize about groups of people We like to stereotype people by the color of their skin， the year of their birth or any other related factors I grew up in a multiracial corner of America The different groups were often subject to narrow stereotypes： Jewish people were greedy， Mexicans were poorly educated， and Asians were good at math These labels were taught to us from a young age They wormed their way into our belief systems， harming how we came to see others It made me sad growing up to see people repeat these stereotypes as if they were true The rushtojudgment of people breeds a culture of discrimination （歧视） You can also see these overgeneralized description being made against todays Chinese people Whether it be a lack of interest or worry among millennials （千禧一代） being described as monkish， or dadfashion （复古作风） which has given the greasy middleaged men tag， stereotypes always seem to gain a foothold in the consciousness of our society But these generalizations do real harm as these myths may become part of the wider population Its about time that we， as a society， walked away from generalizations and stereotypes I leave you with the words of Martin Luther King Jr from his famous I Have a Dream speech： I look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin， but by the content of their character By reserving judgment and really getting to know the individual， you might just find your irrational ideas have no foundation（1）According to the passage， how do people tend to judge others？ A By describing peoples personalitiesB By truly getting to know those aroundC By observing their noticeable featuresD By following Martin Luther Kings speech（2）According to the author， a culture of discrimination appears because A people live in places of various racesB people are born with unreasonable ideasC prejudices slightly influence peoples belief systemD people usually make judgments without thinking twice（3）Examples of millennials and dadfashion are mentioned in Paragraph 3 to reveal A generalizations have unfavourable position in societyB generalizations have a negative influence on our societyC generalizations are found peculiar to the middleaged ChineseD generalizations make todays Chinese people lack interest or worry（4）The passage is mainly concerned with A the common prejudiceB peoples expectation of themselvesC the groundless worriesD the famous speech of Martin Luther King18（6分）When you cross deep water driving too fast， you risk splashing water up into the air box and having it get sucked into the internal engine， which is more common than you think There are a few steps you should take to clear the water out before you try to start it： 1First， drain the fuel tank， fuel lines and the oil While its draining， put a fan on the wiring and dry it out Remove and clean the carburetor （化油器） 2Take the plugs out of the engine and turn it over to force any water out Water will come out with the oil Add oil to the engine and turn it over again， without the plug in Let it sit for a while， then observe the oil to tell if theres any water in it （it will look like a white milky substance if there is water mixed with the oil） If its there， drain it again and start over until there is little or no white showing in the oil 3Now reinstall the spark plug， add gas， then try to start the engine You should have a can of ether （乙醚） handy just in case its stubborn， but dont use too much If it starts， let it run for a few minutes without making it work faster 4After it runs for several minutes， shut it off， drain the oil and change the filter（过滤网） Run it again for a few minutes then shut it off and checks again for milky colored oil If you have none， you should be good to go 5If you cannot start the engine， you may have already ruined it and you will probably need to seek a professional to repair it， or， more likely， youll have to replace it（1）According to the passage， a driver turns the engine over after oil is added to it so that he can A drain the oil and change the filter without any difficultyB
