This is a dangerous world we live in. The number of murders goes up every year, people are dying of cancer, more people contract HIV, more teens are using drugs, ect. You know this because you’ve heard all the statistics on the news and in the paper. But do you really have an accurate idea what they mean? The numbers are going up, but how do they compare to the growth in population? Are more cases of these diseases being reported because of better testing techniques, or are the diseases more common? The fact is that without knowing the background statistics mean very little.

This growing trend of reporting only part of the information is becoming dangerous. For example, several years ago a high school student reported the dangers of the chemical known as dihydrogen monoxide. This chemical, found in most cancerous tumors, is often found in the blood of people drunk on alcohol, and causes complete physical and mental dependence for those who take the chemical even once. After reading his report, more than 75% of his Advanced Placement Chemistry class voted to forbid this dangerous chemical! Every one of the above statement is true, yet this chemical is necessary to all life on earth. The students made a mistake because they voted knowing only a few statements and statistics, rather than the chemical’s full background.

The point of this article is that one should be aware of what is and is not being said. When one finds a new fact or number, one should try to consider other important information before forming an opinion with only half-truths. Always remember that the author is trying to convince you of his or her own view, and will leave our information that is different from his view. For example, look again at the statistics that suggest skiing is safe. Only 32 people die each year when skiing, while 897 die from lightening strikes, but which is really more dangerous? If you think more about it, you will realize far fewer people go skiing each year than the number of people in danger of a lightning strike. When you think about it again, skiing is more dangerous than you might at first think when looking at the statistics. If we teenagers are to be left in this world, we had better be able to think critically, and form our own views, rather than be easily persuaded by another’s. To be warned is just to be prepared.

What’s the author’s attitude towards the growing trend of reporting only part of the      

  information?

Disapproving   B. Positive       C. Indifferent     D. Dangerous

In the first paragraph, what does the writer suggest?

A. We are now living in a dangerous world.

B. We get a lot of false statistics from the media.

C. There are around us more and more murders diseases, ect.

D. Statistics alone without full background don’t give us an accurate picture of things.

What’s the purpose of the writer’s using the two examples in the second paragraph?

A. To argue that high school students are easily persuaded.

B. To prove what is necessary to us might be dangerous.

C. To show the danger of reporting only part of the information.

D. To warn us of the harmful substance around us.

Relative information is often left out because ___________________. 

A. it is not important

B. the author is trying to show what he or she says is true

C. readers will consider other important information

D. readers are able to form an opinion with half-truths

What can we learn from the passage?

A. Some measures must be taken to protect our dangerous world.

B. The growing trend of reporting only half-truths is getting out of control.

C. Teenagers ought to improve their ability of telling right from wrong.

D. We should learn to think critically and look at problems from all sides.

They are characters and creatures that are very different from us and do things that would be 35 for us.

But there is more to books and writing than this. If we think about it, even realistic writing is only 36 . How can we tell the difference between what is real and what is not real? For example, when we read about Harry Potter ,we  37 seem to learn something about the real world. And when Harry studies magic at Hogwarts, he also learns more about his real life than  38 . Reading, like writing, is an action. It is a way of  39 . When we read or write something ,we do much more than simple look at words on a page.

This probably sounds like a depressing way to live,   48  with two small children: “single” parenthood, short-term friendships, and the inability to   49   a career or establish a home.

No matter how difficult the life was, she was always having a   54  attitude. She always had strength in the face of struggle and change. My mother was so   55  all those years of my childhood — she was my island in a sea of change. She is my hero.

What does it mean to say that we live in a world of persuasion? It means that we live among competing interests. Your roommate’s need to study for an exam may take priority（優(yōu)先）over pizza. Your instructor may have good reasons not to change your grade. And the object of your romantic interest may have other choices.

　　In such a world, persuasion is the art of getting others to give fair and favorable consideration to our point of view. When we persuade, we want to influence how others believe and behave. We may not always prevail— other points of view may be more persuasive, depending on the listener, the situation, and the merits of the case. But when we practice the art of persuasion, we try to ensure that our position receives the attention it deserves.

　　Some people, however, object to the very idea of persuasion. They may regard it as an unwelcome interruption into their lives. Just the opposite, we believe that persuasion is unavoidable — to live is to persuade. Persuasion may be ethical（合乎道義的）or unethical, selfless or selfish, inspiring or degrading. Persuaders may enlighten our minds or catch our vulnerability(弱點). Ethical persuasion, however, calls on sound reasoning and is sensitive to the feelings and needs of listeners. Such persuasion can help us apply the wisdom of the past to the decisions we now must make. Therefore, the most basic part of education is learning to resist the one kind of persuasion and to encourage and practice the other.

　　Beyond its personal importance to us, persuasion is necessary to society. The right to persuade and be persuaded is the bedrock of the American political system, guaranteed by the First Amendment to the Constitution（美國憲法）.

1.According to the passage, persuasion means ________.

A．changing others’ point of view

B．exercising power over other people

C．getting other people to consider your point of view

D．getting people to agree with you and do what you want

2.The underlined word in the second paragraph “prevail” means“________”.

A．win

B．fail

C．speak

D．listen

3.The passage states that some people object to persuasion because they think it is ________.

A．a(chǎn) danger to society

B．difficult to do well

C．unwelcome behavior

D．never successful

4.The passage mainly discusses ________.

A．people’s different opinions towards persuasion

B．the reasons why people persuade

C．that persuasion is both good and bad

D．that persuasion is important and it is all around us

閱讀理解

     Visitors to Britain are always complaining about English food. But they do not really know what they
are talking about because they rarely get a chance to eat it. Most of the restaurants in large towns have
foreign owners and serve foreign food. When visitors are invited to eat in an English home, their hosts often feel they must offer them something foreign. Those of us who do know English food are aware that at its
best it can be really very good. On the other hand it is true to say that it is sometimes terrible. Part of the
problem is that we are not really interested in food-we eat to live, we do not live to eat. So we don't
generally spend the necessary time and effort needed to cook really good meals. We prefer food that is
simple and easy to cook, or ready prepared food which only needs heating up before eating.
     You can find that best English food is in the country, where life is slower and people are not in such a
hurry. But, of course, most visitors come to London. They come because they are interested in shopping
and sightseeing. They do not come because of the food, so why should they complain about it?

1. When English people have guests they  ______.
A. think it is better to cook some unusual food
B. prefer to take their guests to restaurants
C. have to serve the food their guests are used to having
D. prefer to serve them English food
2. The writer thinks that ______.
A. we live to eat, but not eat to live
B. we do not eat to live, we live to eat
C. we eat to live, but not live to eat
D. we eat to live, we live to eat
3. People like to cook ______.
A. in a complicated way
B. with only fresh vegetables
C. some typical English food
D. in a quick and easy way
4. The last paragraph suggests  ______.
A. the criticism of English food by visitors is unfair
B. it is possible to find good English food in towns but it takes time to find
C. apart from food, people also come to go shop－ping and sightseeing
D. if people complain about English food, they will get better food
