When someone says, “Well, I guess I’ll have to go to face the music.” It doesn’t mean he is planning to go to a concert. It is  36  less pleasant, like  37 in by your boss to explain why you did this and did that, and why you did not do this  38  that. Terrible music, indeed, but it has to 39  . At some time or  40  , every one of us has had to “face the music”, especially as children. We can all remember father’s  41 voice, “I want to talk to you!” and only  42  we did not obey  him. What an unpleasant business it   43 !
The phrase “to face the music” is known  44  every American, young and old. It is at least 100 years old. Where did the  45 come from?
The first  46  comes from American novelist James Fennimore Cooper. He said, in 1851,  47 the expression was first  48  by actors while waiting in the  49 to go on stage. After they got their clue (暗示) to go on, they often said, “It’s time to go to face the music.” And this is  50  what they did face — the orchestra (管弦樂隊) which was just below the stage.
An actor might be frightened or  51  as he moved on to the stage in front of him. The audience might be friendly, or perhaps unfriendly, especially  52 he forgot his lines. But he had to go out. If he did not, there would be no play. So, “to face the music”  53  to mean: having to go  54 something, no matter how unpleasant the 55  might be, because you knew you had no choice.

But I wonder about my Momma sometimes, and all the other Negro (blacks) mothers who got up at 6 a.m. to go to the white man’s house with sacks (鞋套) over their shoes because it was so wet and cold. I wonder how they managed it. They worked very hard for the man, they made his breakfast and they scrubbed his floors and they took care of his babies. They didn’t have too much time for us.
I wonder about my Momma, who walked out of a white woman’s clean house at midnight and came back to her own where the lights had been out for three months, and the hot-water pipes were frozen and the wind came in through the holes in the wall. She’d have to deal with the mice: leave some food out for them so they wouldn’t bite the doors or the babies. The roaches(蟑螂)?Oh, they were just like part of the family!
I wonder how she felt telling those white kids she took care of to brush their teeth after they ate, to wash their hands after they finished bathroom. She could never tell her own kids because there wasn’t soap or water back home.
I wonder how my Momma felt when we came home from school with a list of vitamins and pills the school nurse said we had to have. Momma would cry all night , and then go out and spend most of the rent (房租) money for pills. A week later, the white man would come for his eighteen dollars’ rent and Momma would beg him to wait until tomorrow. She had to lie to him that she had lost her wallet, or make up some other excuses. Tomorrow I’d be hiding in the closet (櫥柜) because there should be only two kids in the flat, and I could hear the rent man shout at my Momma and call her a cheat. And when he finally went away, Momma put the sacks on her shoes and went off to the rich white man’s house to dress the rich white kids so their mother could take them to a special baby doctor.

B. Only two kids were allowed to live in the house.
C. They should pay more rent for two kids.

I will be traveling to Australia as a Student Ambassador with People to People. People to People arranges for American students to travel all around the world to learn about other cultures, and to help others understand American culture. The program was founded by former President Dwight D. Eisenhower to promote peace through understanding.
I had to put in many hours of special work to get to this point. First, a teacher nominated (推薦) me, and then I attended an informational meeting about the program. The application process included an interview, and finally, I was accepted.
That’s when the hard work really began. In addition to attending monthly meetings to prepare for the big trip, my parents encouraged my twin sister Beth (also participating in the program) and me to raise $ 2,000 each to help pay for the cost. And so the fund-raising began. We did everything from selling candy bars to selling an old car to decorating people’s mailboxes during the holiday season. We also babysat, washed cars, held a yard sale, and washed windows. After months of hard work I had raised a total of $2319.87! Combined, Beth and I raised over $ 4500.00!
Now I have a problem-packing. Yes, I know it sounds unimportant, but my suitcase seems to have shrunk (收縮) as I placed my belongings inside. According to airline regulations (規(guī)定), a suitcase can be no larger than 54 inches and weigh no more than 44 pounds. For a person who likes to wear a different outfit every day, packing all my clothes into such a small space seemed an impossible task. However, I have lessened my load and my suitcase which started out weighting overweight now checks in at a mere 36. Apart from a slightly bloated (臃腫) carry-on bag, my luggage is definitely manageable.
I doubt that I will not get much sleep tonight because I am so excited! I know that what lies ahead is going to be the trip of lifetime!

e. being nominated by the teacher
A.e, a, b, c, dB.a(chǎn), c, e, d, bC.e, c, a, d, bD.e, c, a, b, d

Whether playing, shopping, studying, or just surfing, today’s kids are taking advantage of all the World Wide Web has offered. When it comes to their personal information online, though, who’s in charge? The Federal Trade Commission has established new rules to make sure that youngsters’ privacy (隱私) is protected while they are online.
Website operators must:
Post the privacy policy. Websites directed to children or to collecting information from kids under 13 must post a notice of their information-collection practices that includes:
*Types of personal information they collect from kids, such as name, home address, e-mail address, or hobby.
*How the site will use the information, for example, to notify contest winners, or make the information available through a child’s participation in a chat room.
*Whether personal information is forwarded to a third party.
Get parental permission. In many cases, a site must obtain parental permission before collecting, using, or disclosing personal information about a child. Permission is not required when a site is collecting an e-mail address to respond to a request from the child, to provide notice to the parent, to ensure the safety of the youngster or the site, or to send a newsletter—as long as the site notifies parents and gives them an opportunity to say no to the arrangement.
Parents should:
Look for a privacy policy on the website. The policy must be available through a link on the website’s homepage, or on the homepage of the section for kids. Read the policy closely. If you find a website that doesn’t post basic protections for children’s personal information, ask for details about their information-collection practices.
Decide whether to give permission. You can give permission and say no later to collecting, using or disclosing your children’s information.
Ask to see the information your child has given. Make sure that your kid’s information isn’t given out improperly.
61. Why has the Federal Trade Commission established new rules?
A. Because the privacy of kids is used for business competition.
B. Because kids are using the Internet in a wrong way.
C. Because the privacy of kids should be safe.
D. Because kids are using the Internet too much.
62.According to the text, which of the following websites must post its privacy policy?
A. A website aimed at children who are to start school.
B.A website aimed at survivors of cancer in childhood.
C. A website aimed at teachers of science.
D.A website aimed at single parents.

A. respond to a request from the children
B. take measures to improve the kids’ safety
C. advertise with the children’s picture

When you think of the different types of advertising, several come to your mind. There are the traditional means to advertise: newspapers, magazines, radio, television commercials, billboards, and even taxicabs. Yet there are other types of advertising, such as aerial advertising, which is very different in many aspects.
Radio advertising is aimed at the local customers. The downside of using radio is that the customer needs to have the station tuned in. Placement of ads on the radio is another consideration since listening time is important to the ad being heard at the best time. The upside of using radio is that the audience does tend to remember jingles(收音機廣告中的歌曲)that are easy to remember.
Magazine and newspaper advertising is directed to the subscribers(訂閱人). The subscriptions limit the availability to non-subscribers. The concept of being able to read information online is slowly changing the subscriptions to this advertising market. Limitations of circulation of magazines and newspapers mean fewer people viewing the advertisements.
Television commercial advertising is channeled to the viewers. Limitations of viewers based on the available channel selections lower the exposure audience. With the availability of satellite to consumers, locating the client base for advertisement can easily be lost or overlooked.
Billboard advertising focuses on the area of the billboard. Limitations of outside regions viewing the information are high. Getting the attention of the passers-by to view the information is also a subject to be considered.
Aerial banner advertising focuses on vast population of various regions. Based upon the region, the exposure is limitless. Grabbing or gaining the public’s attention is based on simple human nature to look up at the airplane that is flying overhead. People typically look up when a plane flies overhead. To have a banner with an advertisement adds more curiosity and response.
People tend to remember aerial advertising at a high rate. They also tend to communicate to others about the advertisement by sharing the information by word of mouth. This word of mouth is absolutely free but is of important benefit to aerial advertising. Aerial advertising can be done throughout the entire year, but the warmer months are preferred. Aerial advertising has certain restrictions. Yet these restrictions are fewer than the other means of advertising.
59.The underlined word“downside”in the second paragraph can be replaced by ________.
A.strength       B.weakness     C.purpose           D.instruction
60.Which of the following is the author probably in favor of?
A.Radio advertising.      B.Television advertising.
C.Aerial advertising. D.Billboard advertising
61.The first paragraph is used as a(n) _________.
A.explanation   B.introduction         C.a(chǎn)ccount           D.start
62.What does the passage mainly tell us?
A.Different advantages of advertising.      B.Advantages overpass weakness.
C.Various weaknesses of advertising.  D.Different types of advertising.
