The Stranger Who Changed My Life

It was a sunny morning in the spring of 1966. I was driving a taxi，looking for a customer. While passing New York Hospital，l found a man running down the hospital steps，waving at me.

I stopped. The man reached the taxi and jumped in. “ The Airport，please，“ he said. As always，I wondered about my passenger. Was this man a talker? After a few moments，he started saying，“How do you like driving a taxi?”

…sit‟ s OK，”I said. “I make a living and meet interesting people sometimes.”

“ What do you do?” I asked.

“I am a doctor at New York Hospital. ”

Many times during long rides，l’d developed a good relationship with my passengers and received very good advice from them. This time I decided to ask for his help，”Could I ask a favor of you?”He didn't answer. “I have a son，15，a good kid. He wants a job this summer. is it possible that you get one for him?”

第二部分：阅读选择（第11～15题，每题2分，共10分）

Talk to Your Kids about Their Eating Habits Carefully

Weight is never an easy subject. It can be risky for parents to raise the issue of eating habits and weight with their kids.

“No kid ever lost weight because his mother told him he was fat,” a friend told me when I was worried about my son‟s weight.

It turns out she was right, according to a new study. The study was directed by Dr. Berge at University of Minnesota. She found that kids whose parents discussed eating in a healthy way were les. s likely to have eating problems. But 64% of the kids whose parents focused on their weight turned to unhealthy eating behaviors. Some kids went on extreme diets, and others even ate no food. So eating disorders were caused. Things were worse when fathers joined in the discussions with their daughters and focused on weight. “Fathers should never comment on their daughters‟ weight,” says Berge. Instead, she suggests, fathers should focus on their daughters' interests. That can help them feel loved and confident enough to work on their weight issues.

How should parents talk to kids about. eating behaviors? According to Berge, they should avoid focusing on how much their kids weigh. They should talk to them about being healthy. Don't compare them with others. Ideally, both parents should share the responsibility. If that' s not possible, choose the parent whose words cause the least amount of stress and who demonstrates healthy eating.

11. The writer' s friend advised her not to .

A. worrv about her son's weight

B. take the risk of gaining weight

14. If a father focuses on his daughter' s interests, she will feel ____________.

A. amused

B. encouraged

C. surprised

D. challenged

15. When taking to their kids about eating behaviors, parents should ______________.

Plagiarism（剽窃）

①You just found some good .stuff on the Web for your science report. You copy a paragraph and paste it into your report. Then you continue your research. But you just made a big mistake. You committed plagiarism. Plagiarism is when you use someone else' s words or ideas and pretend that they are yours. It' s not allowed in school, college, or beyond.

②The word" plagiarism" comes from Latin. It means stealing a person' s ideas. But it' s not

2

always easy to tell what is plagiarism and what is not. Sometimes, it's accidental. You really intended to do your own work, yet ended up with some sentences that sound just like something you‟ve read.

③Though plagiarism can be accidental, it's sometimes done on purpose. That' s just being

lazy. By copying whole paragraphs from different places, you don't have to spend the time thinking about the subject, gathering your own thoughts about it, and then putting them into original words. Cut, paste, a nd you‟re done.

④Most schools are pretty strict about plagiarism, If you‟re caught, your graduation will be delayed or worse. At the very least, you‟re probably going to fail the assignment. When you‟re older and in college, some schools will kick out stu dents who plagiarize. When you‟re kicked out of one college, it can be hard to get into another.

⑤To be on the safe side, always make it clear where the information comes from. You need to write references. That‟s a list of the sources you used for a project or report. To do that, you‟re need to know the author, the title, and the date it was published. If you write something really great, maybe some day someone will quote you in a report.

Fruit

Imagine a world without fruit. We wo uldn‟t be very healthy. We get a lot of important vitamins from eating fruit.

We think of fruit primarily as something to eat. 26 Fruit is part of a flowering plant and it carries the seeds. The purpose of fruit is to protect a plant's seeds and help them get spread about. Wind and water spread seeds. So do animals when they eat fruit and drop the seeds. 27 There are two main types of fruit fleshy and dry. Fleshy fruits are soft and juicy. Pears, bananas and apples are all fleshy fruits. 28 Grains like wheat and rice, or nuts like chestnuts(板栗) ,are dry fruits.

But wait You‟ve eaten oranges and grapes without seeds. How can they be fruits? It's because people have changed the way they grow fruit. They can now grow seedless fruit. Seedless fruit comes from special plants that are made by combining two varieties of a fruit to form a new variety. These special plants grow and produce seeds.

29 These plants cannot reproduce themselves. They can make fruit, but the fruit has no seeds.

Fruits are a source of substances that keep us alive and healthy. So people make use of fruits for many foods. We make juices from them. We make jams and sweets. 30 Beer comes from grains and wine comes from

grapes, and some particular wines are made from apples, peaches, or other fruits.

A. Dry fruits are thin and hard.

B. We even make alcohol from fruit.

Labor Market Decline

The decline of the labor market is easy to misinterpret (interpret). There are many reasons for that. During the 1970s, large numbers of women and young adults 41 (bear) during the baby boom entered into the work force. That 42 ( result) in too many workers for the jobs available and depressed wages. The decline also has something to do with the explosive 43 ( grow) in world trade since 1960. As 44 .( manufacture) technologies have become more mobile, production jobs have 45 (move) from the U. S. to countries where wages are low. In 46 (add), technology itself has helped to cause the shifts in the job market. For example, 47 (few) American workers are needed to make steel today than in the past, because new 48 ( machine) have made many of their tasks 49 (necessary).

Using Music to Change Your Mood

Everyone knows that listening to music when feeling bad can provide a relief. Music can also reduce stress, make depression more bearable and help you relax.

All the benefits of music can only be got if the listener enjoys the music he is listening to. If the listener dislikes the music or finds it boring, it will have a negative effect on him instead of a positive one.

Now let‟s examine what most of us do when it comes to listening to music. We usually just listen to a play list and allow a program to randomly （任意地）select the songs we are going to listen to.

This is where the problem lies. What if you liked the first song but found the second one boring? What if the third one was a motivating song while the fourth didn‟t sui t your emotions? What do you think the result will be?

What you‟ll have is an emotional mess! The first song will lift your mood a little. The second will make you a little bored. The third will motivate you and then the fourth will put you down. In the en d you‟ll end up feeling worse than before.

I strongly recommend dividing your play list into different small lists. For example, a list for relaxation, a list for motivation and so on. Another very important thing you must do is to get rid of the old music that you are bored of. Besides, don‟t listen to songs with negative words or messages.

The music you listen to can delay your recovery from breakups（分手）by months and months! People who listen to romantic songs after breakups recover 10 times slower than t hose who don‟t. So be careful with your play list if you want to recover faster.

It‟s so easy to walk into your first job and feel like a stranger in a strange hand. But you don‟t have to stay that way, and you shouldn‟t.

You have to remind yourself to kick your shyness away and introduce yourself. Just a handshake will do. Ask the supervisor who hired you to introduce you around a bit. That‟s the best way to make contacts. Then you‟ll know what to d o and say when you meet these people again.

Don‟t do what my friend Sue did at her first job at Entertainment Weekly. “That is one of my biggest regrets; I hardly talked to anyone at all when I was there. I was scared and just thought people would talk to me first. For a long time, I was hung up on the thought that if someone was older, I respected them automatically. And even if someone started on Monday, and I started Tuesday, I just felt they had more experience. In the area I worked for four months. I hardly spoke to these people, ” she said.

“Of course, now I realize that was the most stupid thing. If I could do that again, I‟d remember that it‟s so important not to feel shy about introducing yourself. It‟s not like you have to be very bold, ready to take over the place. Just introduce yourself and ask if there is anything you can do for them. That breaks the ice.”

Sue believes that if she had introduced herself around a bit, there would be just no telling what other opportunities or what other acquaintances she might have now. Not that she regrets where she is now at all. But had she talked to more people at her first job, “maybe it would have helped me get somewhere sooner,” she said.

The Woman behind the Brooklyn Bridge

❶ John Rocbling planned to build the Brooklyn Bridge before 1867. But he never really got started. In 1869, he died of an accident. The job fell to his son Washington, a master of construction. In 1872, Washington was injured in building the bridge. He could not walk any longer. He could only see the building of the bridge from his window. But his mind was still fresh. How could he get his ideas down to the workers?

❷That‟s where Emily came in. Emily and Washington married in 1865. At that time John was planning the bridge. He sent his son around the world to study bridges. Emily went along with her husband and learnt much about bridge building. When John died and Washington became the boss, she taught herself more about bridge building. She wanted to help her husband with his new job.

❸Emily regularly came to the building site. She gave Washington‟s instructions to the workers. And then she took questions back to him. However, as time went on, her role started to change. Soon, workers saw her as the new boss. As she had more and more knowledge, she became the chief engineer. She met with officials, discussed with other engineers, and instructed the workers. ❹Emily also helped to solve problems outside the building site. Some people once questioned her husband‟s ability to head the bridge building. And the American Society of Civil Engineers would think about replacing him. Emily went to meet the group. She gave a speech in defense of her husband. The group finally decided to keep him on the job.

❺It took up 14 years to build the bridge. For 11 of those years, Emily was the one in charge. The bridge finally opened on May 24, 1883. She was one of the first people to cross the bridge. Emily never planned on becoming an engineer, but she turned out to be a great one.
