Today we had an American family, the Robinsons, for Sunday dinner. Mr. Robinson is my mother’s co-worker.
Mr. and Mrs. Robinson and their two young       came at about 6:00 PM. Mrs. Robinson gave Mum a bunch of fresh flowers,      color,freshness and their good will. Mum did the       and it was left to ourselves to get to know each other. I soon      on well with the two girls Judy and Annie.
Mrs. Robinson was much         than her husband. There was a moment of embarrassment when Granny asked about her       . Mum was about to apologize   Mrs. Robinson laughed and said it was quite all right and that she had been in     long enough to know it was the Chinese custom. She       told us that she was 32, though her husband was 52.
And of course they entirely       the dinner. Like a perfect Chinese hostess, Mum and especially Granny       stuffing(填) them with food and urging them to eat and to drink, apologizing all the time that it’s a homely meal.       , Mrs. Robinson said to Mum, “In the West any hostess would be proud of such a feast instead of apologizing for it, and we don’t urge the guests to eat or drink.       so many good things before me, I certainly don’t need any urging. The problem is how to prevent     overeating owing to your keeping putting food into my bowl.” We
all       laughter at that.
When they       to leave, they thanked us not only for the excellent dinner, but for giving them such a nice      . Besides, they insisted on giving every one of us a hug and a       , which did embarrass me. But I think Granny was really    when they kissed her.

Employment practices often reflect the needs of employers several decades ago．Times have changed．And so too has the Canadian workforce．Yet many employment practices have not kept pace with this change．For example, some work environments and washrooms designed for able-bodied workers seldom accommodate people who use a wheelchair．
Modernizing these practices is what employment equality is about．For example, making sure work benches and washrooms are adapted for disabled people entering the workplace paves the way for workers who become disabled on the job．By doing so, any given group of people? formerly discriminated against-now has access to better employment opportunities．
The objective, of course, is to make the workplace reflect Canadian society．However, this does not necessarily mean setting and enforcing quotas(實行配額）. Rather, it means identifying the barriers to employment and designing measures, with achievable goals and clear timetables, to remove them．
For example, according to the Canadian Union of Public Employees-Canada’s largest union, it would be unrealistic in the short term to insist that because half of the working age population is women, that half of the employees of an engineering firm should be women．At this moment, there would not be enough qualified female engineers．
A reasonable numerical goal would be based on the number of women who actually are engineers （8% ） and those who are studying to become engineers （25% ）．A short term goal of 13% would be appropriate without running the risk of hiring unqualified people．
Equally important is to ensure people who have been disadvantaged the chance to become qualified for new opportunities．If aboriginal people （土著居民） , for example, can’t qualify for certain jobs because they haven’t had access to appropriate educational opportunities, then an employment equality program would have to address that problem with training programs.
Employment laws in this country cannot be considered displeasing if they guarantee all Canadians fair and equal access to the workforce.
小題1:The passage is mainly about how to ____.
A．modernize equipment for the disabled at work
B．a(chǎn)chieve equality of employment opportunities
C．protect women’s rights in employment
D．complete a job training program
小題2:The underlined word "them" in Paragraph 3 refers to ____.
A．barriersB．measuresC．goalsD．timetables
小題3:The example of women shows that ____.
A．only a small percentage of women engineers will get promoted
B．13% of the working age women should be hired as engineers
C．policy makers should adopt a practical and flexible approach
D．the quota of women for employment should be raised
小題4:The underlined word "address" in Paragraph 6 probably means _
A．put forwardB．run intoC．find outD．deal with

If you want to get the most out of the study of a language, you must also read for pleasure: novels, plays, travel books, and so on. And in reading books of this kind the important thing is to get on with the reading; to try to grasp what the writer is going to tell you in the book as a whole. This is impossible if you stop and think over the meaning of every single word which happens to be unfamiliar(不熟悉). You can not enjoy a story if you stop half a dozen times on every page in order to look up words in the dictionary. You may even prevent yourself from understanding the story as a whole by doing this.
When you are reading books of this kind, therefore, you will usually have to rely mainly on(依靠) the context (上下文) to help you. If you meet an unfamiliar word, do not let it take too much of your attention from the main thread(主線) of the story. In all probability(可能) you will meet the same word again a few pages later on in a slightly different context, and each time you see it that your understanding of it will become more exact.
小題1:To read for pleasure means _____________.
A．to take pleasure in reading

A newly-published study has shown that loneliness can spread from one person to another, like a disease.
Researchers used information from the Framingham Study, which began in 1948. The Framingham Study gathers information about physical and mental health, personal behavior and diet. At first, the study involved about 5,000 people in the American state of Massachusetts. Now, more than 12,000 individuals are taking part.
Information from the Framingham Study showed earlier that happiness can spread from person to person. So can behaviors like littering and the ability to stop smoking.
University of Chicago psychologist John Cacioppo led the recent study. He and other researchers attempted to show how often people felt lonely. They found that the feeling of loneliness spread through social groups.
Having a social connection with a lonely person increased the chances that another individual would feel lonely. In fact, a friend of a lonely person was 52% more likely to develop feelings of loneliness. A friend of that person was 25% more likely. The researchers say this shows that a person could indirectly be affected by someone’s loneliness.
The effect was strongest among friends. Neighbors were the second most affected group. The effect was weaker on husbands and wives, and brothers and sisters. The researchers also found that loneliness spread more easily among women than men.
The New York Times newspaper reports that, on average, people experience feelings of loneliness about 48 days a year. It also found that every additional friend can decrease loneliness by about five percent, or two and a half fewer lonely days.
Loneliness has been linked to health problems like depression and sleeping difficulties. The researchers believe that knowing the causes of loneliness could help in reducing it.
The study suggests that people can take steps to stop the spread of loneliness. They can do this by helping individuals they know who may be experiencing loneliness. The result can be helpful to the whole social group.
小題1: What is true about the Framingham Study?
A．It was only conducted in 1948.B．It involves more than 12,000 participants.
C．It was led by John CacioppoD．It showed that any behavior could spread.
小題2: From the passage, we can learn that            .
A．the habit of littering doesn’t spread
B．a(chǎn) lonely person won’t have friends
C．everyone may be affected by others’ loneliness
D．lonely people don’t know the cause of their loneliness
小題3: Which statement about the spread of loneliness is true?
A．The spreading effect was the second strongest among friends.
B．No spreading effect was found on husbands and wives.
C．Women are more likely to be affected than men.
D．Brothers are more easily affected than neighbors.
小題4: If you make 10 more friends in a year, the days of your feeling loneliness will be reduced by            .
A．48 daysB．25 daysC．20 daysD．15 days
小題5:What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Actions should be taken to help lonely people.  B. People feel lonely for many reasons.
C. Ways to fight against loneliness.             D. Lonely people can affect others.

The easy way out isn't always easiest . I learned that lesson when I decided to treat Doug , my husband of one month , to a special meal . I glanced through my cookbook and chose a menu(菜譜) which included homemade bread . Knowing the bread would take time , I started on it as soon as Doug left for work . As I was not experienced in cooking , I thought if a dozen was good , two dozens would be better , so I doubled（加倍）everything . As Doug loved oranges , I also opened a can of orange and poured it all into the bowl . Soon there was a sticky dough (面團) covered with ugly yellowish marks . Realizing I had been defeated , I put the dough in the rubbish bin outside so I wouldn't have to face Doug laughing at my work , I went on preparing the rest of the meal , and , when Doug got home , we sat down to eat Cornish chicken with rice .

Watercolor（水彩畫） is the oldest paints known. It dates back to the early cave men. They discovered that they could mix the natural colors found in the earth with water. In this way they could add lifelike qualities to drawings of animals and other figures on the wall of caves.
Fresco（壁畫）, one of the greatest art forms, is done with watercolor, it is created by mixing paints and water and applying these to wet plaster（灰泥）. Of the thousands of people who stand under Michelangelos’ works in the Sistine Chapel, very few know they are looking at perhaps the greatest watercolor painting in the world.
The invention of oil painting by the Glemish masters in the fifteenth century made fresco painting go downhill, and for the next several centuries watercolor was used mainly for doing sketches（素描） or as tool for study. It was not until the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries that English painters put back watercolor as a serious art form. The English have widely-known love for the outdoors and also for small, private pictures. The softness of watercolor had a strong attraction for them.
The popularity of watercolor continued to grow until the twentieth century. The United States took the place of England and became the center of watercolor. It produced such well-known watercolor artists as Thomas Eakins and Andrew Wyeth.
小題1: The first watercolor users were___________
A．the early cave men
B．Italian fresco artists
C．Flemish masters
D．the English artists in the 18th century
小題2: In the 16th and 17th centuries the artists thought__________.
A．watercolor was more costly, but better
B．oil painting lasted less long, but clearer and brighter
C．watercolor was not suitable for serious works
D．oil painting was difficult to use
小題3: According to the passage, watercolor painting was put back in England because ______
A．it was easy to use outdoors
B．it was a strong tool
C．it was extremely bright in color
D．it was well suited to popular tastes
小題4: What is the passage mainly about?________
A．the gradual weakness of fresco painting.
