Everyone has got two personalities — the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real．You don’t show your secret personality when you’re awake because you can control your behavior，but when you’re asleep， your sleeping position shows the real you．In a normal night，of course，people frequently change their position．The important position is the one that you go to sleep in．
If you go to sleep on your back，you’re a very open person．You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by fashion or new ideas．You don’t like to upset people，so you never express your real feelings．You’re quite shy and you aren’t very confident．
If you sleep on your stomach，you are a rather secretive（不坦率的）person．You worry a lot and you’re always easily upset．You’re very stubborn（頑固的），but you aren’t very ambitious．You usually live for today not for tomorrow．This means that you enjoy having a good time．
If you sleep curled up（卷曲），you are probably a very nervous person．You have a low opinion of yourself and so you’re often defensive．You’re shy and you don’t normally like meeting people．You prefer to be on your own．You’re easily hurt．
If you sleep on your side，you have usually got a well-balanced personality．You know your strengths and weaknesses．You’re usually careful． You have a confident personality．You sometimes feel anxious，but you don’t often get depressed．You always say what you think even if it annoys people．
小題1:According to the writer，you naturally show your secret and real personality __________.
A．only in a normal night
B．only when you go to sleep
C．only when you refuse to show yourself to the world

In bringing up children, every parent watches eagerly the child’s acquisition（學會）of each new skill — the first spoken words, the first independent steps, or the beginning of reading and writing. It is common that parents hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate, but this can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the child. This might happen at any stage. A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early, and a young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other hand, though, if a child is left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural enthusiasm（熱情） for life and his desire to find out new things for himself.
Parents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children. Some may be especially strict in money matters; others are severe over time of coming home at night or punctuality（準時）for meals. In general, the controls imposed（強加的）represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community（社區(qū)）as much as the child’s own happiness.
As regards the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is very important in parental teaching. To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality.  Also, parents should realize that “example is better than precept”. If they are not sincere and do not practice what they preach（說教）, their children may grow confused, and emotionally insecure when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have been to some extent fooled.
A sudden awareness of a marked difference between their parents’ principles and their morals can be a dangerous disappointment.
小題1:Eagerly watching the child’s acquisition of new skills _____.
A．should be avoided
B．is universal among parents
C．sets up dangerous states of worry in the child
D．will make him lose interest in learning new things
小題2: When children are learning new skills, parents should _____.
A．a(chǎn)chieve a balance between pushing them too hard and leaving them on their own
B．not expect too much of them
C．encourage them to read before they know the meaning of the words they read
D．create as many learning opportunities as possible
小題3:The second paragraph mainly tells us that _____.
A．parental restrictions vary, and are not always enforced for the benefit of the children alone
B．parental controls satisfy only the needs of the parents and the values of the community
C．parents should be strict with their children
D．parents vary in their strictness towards their children according to the situation
小題4:The underlined word “precept” （in Paragraph 3） probably means “_____”.
A．ideaB．punishmentC．instructionD．behaviour
小題5:In moral matters, parents should _____.
A．satisfy their children’s needs
B．be aware of the marked difference between adults and children
C．forbid things which have no foundation in morality
D．observe（遵守，奉行） the rules themselves

To whom it may concern,
This letter describes the worst travel experience I have ever had．The problems we had were the result of poor management and thoughtless employees．Your airline should be ashamed of treating its  customers so poorly．
On January 5, we arrived in Denver from Houston and checked in for our next flight．It wasn’t long before the agent announced that our flight would be delayed because of a mechanical problem． The equipment was in Aspen, and they expected it to be repaired soon．
Soon shortly turned to much later, and during the delay, weather temporarily closed the Aspen airport．The weather cleared in Aspen and the plane took off very late for Denver．While it was in the air, the agent announced that the plane would be used for the next flight and that our flight was being cancelled．
This cancellation struck me as being unfair．There was a mad scramble （爭先恐后） as the 50 or so passengers scheduled for our flight fought for seats on later flights．When the dust settled, we were wait-listed on the 9’-00 flight the next morning．We had to spend the night in the airport．
Coming home was no better．Because of a mechanical problem, it looked like we would miss our connection in Denver．The agent assured us they would hold the Newark flight for us．Needless to say, the flight to Houston taxied out as we pulled into the gate．Arrangements were made for us to take the next flight, so we sat in the airport for 5 hours．When we finally arrived in Houston, our skis were missing．As of this writing, the skis have not been found．
Nothing you can do will make us feel better about our flights．If you are a responsible business, however, you will do what you can to see that passengers in the future are treated better．
With great displeasure,
Phyllis Dooley
小題1:When Phyllis wrote her letter, she felt ______．

Scholars and researchers have tried to discover what personality characteristics go along with success in intercultural(跨文化的)experiences. Their findings have often been unclear or incomplete. But three characteristics stand out in their reports: patience, a sense of humor, and the awareness (意識, 認識)of being unclear.
Patience, of course, is the ability to keep calm even when things do not go as one wants them to, or hopes they will, or has even been sure they will. Impatience sometimes brings improvements in relations with other people, but usually it does not.
A person with a sense of humor is less likely to take things too seriously and more ready to see the humor in his own reactions than a humorless person. The value of a sense of humor really needs to be paid more attention to.
The awareness of being unclear is a more difficult concept than patience or a sense of humor. Foreigners often find themselves in situations that are unclear to the newcomers. That is, they do not know what is happening in the situation. Perhaps they do not understand the local language well enough, or they do not know how some system or organization works, or they can’t be sure of different people’s roles in what is going on. “It’s like I just got here from the moon,” a Chinese graduate student who newly arrived in the United States said, “things are just so different here.”
小題1:The passage mainly tells us        .
A. that it’s not easy to travel abroad
B. that humor is very important in communication
C. of some characteristics in dealing with foreigners
D. of three main ways useful for communicating with foreigners
小題2: According to the passage, what characteristic should be most focused on?
A. Patience.
B. The awareness of being unclear.
C. The sense of humor.
D. Understanding each other.
小題3:“The awareness of being unclear” refers to        .
A. knowing the meaning of an exact situation
B. not stating clearly what happens
C. realizing the possible misunderstanding in a situation
D. being aware of the unclear situation
小題4:According to the writer, the Chinese students are        .
A. a hard-working student
B. recently back from the moon
C. interested in the study of moon
D. not used to the culture in America
小題5:Which of the following can best sum up the passage?
A. A. It is necessary to learn the language before you go to the country.
B. Americans are used to the culture of other countries.
C. One needs many characteristics to live in a foreign country.
D. To live in a foreign land one should get fully prepared.

Americans are proud of their variety and individuality，yet they love and respect few things more than a uniform，whether it is the uniform of an elevator operator or the uniform of a five­star general. Why are uniforms so popular in the United States?
Among the arguments for uniforms，one of the first is that in the eyes of most people they look more professional than civilian(百姓的)clothes. People have become conditioned to expect superior quality from a man who wears a uniform. The television repairman who wears a uniform tends to inspire more trust than one who appears in civilian clothes. Faith in the skill of a garage mechanic(技工) is increased by a uniform. What easier way is there for a nurse，a policeman，a barber，or a waiter to lose professional identity（身份）than to step out of uniform?
Uniforms also have many practical benefits. They save on other clothes. They save on laundry(洗衣店）bills. They are tax­deductible(可減稅的)．They are often more comfortable and more durable than civilian clothes.
Primary(主要的) among the arguments against uniforms is their lack of variety and the consequent loss of individuality experienced by people who must wear them. Though there are many types of uniforms，the wearer of any particular type is generally stuck with it，without change，until retirement. When people look alike，they tend to think，speak，and act similarly，on the job at least.
Uniforms also give rise to some practical problems. Though they are long­lasting，often their initial(最初的)expense is greater than the cost of civilian clothes. Some uniforms are also expensive to maintain（維持，維護），requiring professional dry cleaning rather than the home laundering(洗滌) possible with many types of civilian clothes.
小題1:It is surprising that Americans who worship variety and individuality______.
A．still judge a man by his clothes
B．hold the uniform in such high regard
C．enjoy having a professional identity
D．will respect an elevator operator as much as a general in uniform
小題2:People are accustomed to think that a man in uniform ____.
A．suggests quality workB．discards(丟棄)his social identity
C．a(chǎn)ppears to be more practicalD．looks superior to a person in civilian clothes
小題3:The chief function of a uniform is to ____.
A．provide practical benefits to the wearerB．make the wearer catch the public eye
C．inspire the wearer ' s confidence in himselfD．provide the wearer with a professional identity
小題4:According to the passage, people wearing uniforms ____.
A．a(chǎn)re usually helpfulB．have little or no individual freedom
C．tend to lose their individualityD．enjoy greater popularity
小題5:The best title for this passage would be ____.
A．Uniforms and SocietyB．The Importance of Wearing a Uniform
C．Practical Benefits of Wearing a UniformD．Advantages and Disadvantages of Uniforms

My basketball coach at Princeton used to say, "On the court, you can tell who is selfish(自私的)."
  　When my sister Michelle brought Barack Obama home to meet the family, she said to me, "I want you to take him out to play, to see what type of man he is when he’s not around me." So I invited Barack to play basketball with a few friends of mine.
  　I was very nervous although I had already met Barack a few times. I was thinking this guy seemed like a good guy. We played a hard five-on-five. He was thin but not weak. He played extremely left-handed. He dealt with everything perfectly. He wasn’t the best guy out there or the worst guy. I liked the fact that he was confident but wasn’t proud. Barack was very team-oriented (有團隊精神的), very unselfish. He played as if he was one of us —he wasn’t trying to be president of Harvard Law Review. But the best part about it was that when we were on the same team, he did not pass me the ball each time. He wasn’t trying to suck up to my sister through me. I was glad to give my sister the good news, "Your boy is straight."
  　He isn’t selfish, which is the greatest praise you can give both a player and a leader. America has got a guy who is running a government in an efficient (有效率的) manner. That’s the same guy I got to know playing basketball when he was visiting my family.
小題1: Why does the author begin the passage with his coach’s words?
A．He wants to remember and thank his coach.
B．He wants to show that he is a basketball player.
C．He wants to tell his sister about the words.
D．He wants to use the words to test a person.
小題2:Why did Michelle ask the author to take Barack to play basketball?
A．To see whether he was confident.
B．To see whether he was good at sports.
C．To see whether he was selfish or not.
D．To see whether he could get along with others.
小題3:During the basketball game, Barack ______.
A．played best all the timeB．was strong enough to play
C．was not confidentD．wanted to be the team leader
小題4: The underlined phrase in the third paragraph can be replaced by "______".
A．please （使?jié)M意）B．know aboutC．helpD．look for

There are three kinds of goals: short-term, intermediate and long-term goals. Short-term goals are those that usually deal with present activities. Such goals can be achieved in a week or two, or possible months. It should be remembered that just as a building is no stronger than its foundation (基礎), our long-term goals cannot be achieved without the achievement of solid short-term goals. Upon completing our short-term goals, we should date the time and then add new short-term goals that will build on those that have been completed.
The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-term goals. They might deal with just one term of school or the entire school years, or they could extend for several years. Any time you move a step at a time, you never allow yourself to become discouraged. As you complete each step, you will have more belief in your ability to grow and succeed.
Long-term goals may be related to our dreams of future. They might cover five years or more. Life is not a static (靜態(tài)的) thing. We should never allow a long-term goal to limit us or our course of action.
小題1: The long-term goals mean______.
A．something static and easy to get if we complete our short-term goals
B．something easy to reach if we complete a short-term goal in time
C．nothing but our dreams of future
D．a(chǎn) lot, such as a dream, and aspiration (熱望) or a wish in our life
小題2:When we complete each step of our goals, ______.
A．we will win final successB．we become down-hearted
C．we should encourage ourselvesD．we should think about changing our goals
小題3: It is the most important for us students to have ___________ first.
A．long-term goalsB．intermediate goals
C．short-term goalsD．dreams of future
小題4:Which of the following titles is best for this passage?
A．Three Kinds of GoalsB．How to Reach Goals
C．Changeable GoalsD．Moveable Goals
