How to Be Polite at a Dinner Party?
It’s not polite to arrive at a dinner more than 15 to 20 minutes late. The host or hostess usually waits for all the   21  to arrive before serving the meal. If someone is late，the food may be spoiled(變味)，and   22  may the host or hostess’ spirits．If you have to be  23  ， call and tell them to start   24  you．
It’s even worse to be early! The host or hostess will probably not be   25  ．If you are early，drive or walk around the block a few times，or just sit in your car until the right time．
    Though it’s often   26  to arrive at a party on time，on the other hand，the host or hostess  27   guests to arrive and leave between certain times，so you can  28  at any time between the times he or she gives you．

The internet will open up new vistas (前景), create the global village —you can make new friends all around the world .That, at least, is what it promised us. The difficulty is that it did not take the human mind into account. The reality is that we cannot keep relationships with more than a limited number of people. No matter how hard the internet tries to put you in communication, its best efforts will be defeated human mind.
The problem is twofold（雙重的）.First, there is a limit on the number of people we can hold in mind and have a meaningful relationship with. That number is about 150 and is set by the size of our brain. Second, the quality of your relationships depends on the amount of time you invest（投入）in them. We invest a lot in a small number of people and then distribution what’s left among as many others as we can. The problem is that if we invest little time in a person, our engagement with that person will decline（減弱）until eventually it dies into “someone I once knew”.
This is not, of course, to say that the internet doesn’t serve a socially valuable function. Of course it does. But the question is not that it allows you to increase the size of your social circle to include the rest of the world, but that you can keep your relationships with your existing friends going even though you have to move to the other side of the world.
In one sense, that’s a good thing. But it also has a disadvantage. If you continue to invest in your old friends even though you can no longer see then, then certainly you aren’t using your time to make new friends where you now live. And I suspect that probably isn’ t the best use of your time. Meaningful relationships are about being able to communicate with each other, face to face. The internet will slow down the rate with which relationships end, but it won’t stop that happening eventually.
小題1:What is stressed in the first paragraph?
A．The present situation of the internet.
B．The difficulty in communication on the internet.
C．The socially valuable function of the internet.
D．The role of the human mind in the internet communication.
小題2:The underlined word “engagement” in the second paragraph probably means “      ”.
A．a(chǎn)ppointmentB．connectionC．interviewD．a(chǎn)greement
小題3: According to the passage, the author holds the view that      .
A．the internet fails to play so valuable a role in communication as it promised
B．the Internet determines the quality of social relationships
C．the internet greatly increases the size of social circles
D．the internet communication is no less effective than the face-to-face talk
小題4: What is the author’s attitude towards the use of the internet to strengthen relationships?
A．He is uncertain about it.B．He is hopeful of it
C．He approves of itD．He doubts it

What is intelligence （智力） anyway? When I was in the army I   21  an intelligence test that all soldiers took, and, against   22  of 100, scored 160.                             
I had an auto-repair man once, who, on these intelligence tests, could not   23  have scored more than 80.   24 , when anything went wrong with my car I hurried to him—and he always   25  it.
Well, then suppose my auto-repair man   26  questions for some intelligence test. By every one of them I'd prove myself a   27 . In a world where I have to work with my   28 , I'd do poorly.
Consider my auto-repair man   29 . He had a habit of telling   30 . One time he said, “Doc, a deaf-and-dumb（聾啞） man   31   some nails. Having entered a store, he put two fingers together on the counter and made   32  movements with the other hand. The clerk brought him a hammer. He   33  his head and pointed to the two fingers he was hammering. The clerk   34  him some nails. He picked out the right size and left. Well, Doc, the   35 man who came in was blind. He wanted scissors (剪刀).   36  do you suppose he asked for them?” I lifted my right hand and made scissoring movements with my first two fingers. He burst out laughing and said, “Why, you fool, he used his   37  and asked for them. I've been   38  that on all my customers today, but I knew   39  I'd catch you.” “Why is that?” I asked. “Because you are so goddamned educated, Doc. I knew you couldn't be very   40  .”
And I have an uneasy feeling he had something there.

Next time a customer comes to your office, offer him a cup of coffee. And when you’re doing your holiday shopping online, make sure you’re holding a large glass of iced tea. The physical sensation（感覺） of warmth encourages emotional warmth, while a cold drink in hand prevents you from making unwise decisions—those are the practical lesson being drawn from recent research by psychologist John A. Bargh.
Psychologists have known that one person’s perception（感知） of another’s “warmth” is a powerful determiner in social relationships. Judging someone to be either “warm” or “cold” is a primary consideration, even trumping evidence that a “cold” person may be more capable. Much of this is rooted in very early childhood experiences, Bargh argues, when babies’ conceptual sense of the world around them is shaped by physical sensations, particularly warmth and coldness. Classic studies by Harry Harlow, published in 1958, showed monkeys preferred to stay close to a cloth “mother” rather than one made of wire, even when the wire “mother” carried a food bottle. Harlow’s work and later studies have led psychologists to stress the need for warm physical contact from caregivers to help young children grow into healthy adults with normal social skills.
Feelings of “warmth” and “coldness” in social judgments appear to be universal. Although no worldwide study has been done, Bargh says that describing people as “warm” or “cold” is common to many cultures, and studies have found those perceptions influence judgment in dozens of countries.
To test the relationship between physical and psychological warmth, Bargh conducted an experiment which involved 41 college students. A research assistant who was unaware of the study’s hypotheses（假設(shè)）, handed the students either a hot cup of coffee, or a cold drink, to hold while the researcher filled out a short information form: The drink was then handed back. After that, the students were asked to rate the personality of “Person A” based on a particular description. Those who had briefly held the warm drink regarded Person A as warmer than those who had held the iced drink.
“We are grounded in our physical experiences even when we think abstractly,” says Bargh.
小題1:
According to Paragraph 1, a person’s emotion may be affected by ______.
A．the visitors to his officeB．the psychology lessons he has
C．his physical feeling of coldnessD．the things he has bought online
小題2:
The author mentions Harlow’s experiment to show that ______.
A．a(chǎn)dults should develop social skillsB．babies need warm physical contact
C．caregivers should be healthy adultsD．monkeys have social relationships
小題3:
In Bargh’s experiment, the students were asked to ______.
A．evaluate someone’s personalityB．write down their hypotheses
C．fill out a personal information form
D．hold coffee and cold drink alternatively
小題4:
We can infer from the passage that ______.
A．a(chǎn)bstract thinking does not come from physical experiences
B．feelings of warmth and coldness are studied worldwide
C．physical temperature affects how we see others
D．capable persons are often cold to others
小題5:
What would be the best title for the passage?
A．Drinking for Better Social Relationships

Your friends might be in Australia or maybe just down the road, but they are all just a few clicks away. Life has changed for millions of young people across the world who now make friends online. Whether you use chat-rooms, QQ, MSN or ICQ, you are a member of this group.
“I don’t often talk with my parents or grandparents, but I talk a lot with my old friends on QQ,” said Fox’s Shadow, the online name used by a girl student in China. “Most of my classmates use QQ after school.”
QQ is the biggest messaging service in China. A record from Tencent, the company which developed QQ, shows that 4 million people used it one Saturday night in October.
And probably Fox’s Shadow was one of them. “I log in on Friday nights, and Saturdays or Sundays when I feel everything around me boring. I usually spend about ten hours chatting online every week,” she said. “But I never talk with strangers, especially boys or men.”
Even though she likes chatting, she is careful about making friends with strangers online. “You don’t know who you’re talking to. You should always be careful about whom you believe in online.”
Many people would like to meet offline when they feel they have known someone very well. Fox’s Shadow once met one of her online friends face to face. It was a girl who was a football fan like herself and they went to a football match together.
A 16-year-old Beijing boy, named Bart Simon online, dislikes QQ users. “I used to chat on QQ, but I found that most people were talking about foolish things,” he said. Now he chats online in English, using MSN. “I only chat online because I’ve got friends in Japan, the US and Singapore,” he said. “I want to learn more about foreign cultures.” But he spends little time chatting on QQ as he sees it as a waste of time and money.
“If you are really addicted to it, sometimes you can’t give your mind to your lessons,” he said. “And friends in your real life are always more important than those so-called friends you meet online.”
小題1:From the passage, we know“…they are all just a few clicks away” means“    ”.
A．it is wonderful to see your friends by clicking
B．it is popular to make friends online
C．it is possible to live much closer to your friends

Trekking through the mists of the Huangshan mountains , I came upon a young man painting the scenery with traditional brush and ink on rice paper. He smiled proudly as he showed me his work. It was indeed quite beautiful for a painting , but it paled compared to the living scene before my eyes: mountaintops surrounded by light clouds, an endless dance of wind and fog that changes alternately in the dark hills beneath. How futile it must feel for a mere human being to try to capture that , I thought.
Yet for centuries ,these mountains in the heart of China have been a destination for artists and poets , who come to commune with nature in one of its more striking pose-and struggle to replicate its beauty. Along with the artists and poets come lovers ,who grasp locks symbolic of their undying love to the chain fences that protect hikers from the steep cliffs .Seventy miles of trials wind around 72peaks , the two majestic of which are Capital of Heaven and Lotus Flower.
In 1990 ,UNESCO declared Huangshan a Cultural and Natural Property , thereby ensuring that the area’s physical beauty will be preserved forever. Pheasant and deer abound. Hundreds of plants are said to heal the body and the famous hot springs are known for their healing qualities . An hour’s meditation in one of these pools is a great way  to end a day of hiking .
The three staging areas for Huangshan visitors are Jade Screen, the Hot Spring area and the North Sea. The Xi Hai and Bei Hai ,located on different summits are three-star hotels serving Chinese and Western food as well as wine and liquor from East and West.
Huangshan may not be exactly off the beaten path , but it is on a road well worth taking.
小題1: The writer thought the young man ‘s painting    .
A not a bit beautiful    B  not as beautiful as the living scene
C more beautiful than the living scene   D  beautiful enough to caught the nature’s beauty
小題2: Why would lovers like to grasp locks to the chain fences?
A because locks symbolize lovers’ forever love
B because locks can protect lovers from the cliffs
C because locks help lovers climb to the top quickly
D because locks contribute to enjoy nature easily
小題3: What is the purpose of the passage?
A To introduce some hotels in Huangshan mountains
B To recommend Huangshan mountains to tourists
C To speak highly of the beauty of Huangshan mountains
D To stress the convenience to climb Huangshan mountains

What do you usually expect from a pop star’s concert? Dazzling stage design, mysterious guest singers or sensational costumes? The answer is yes for most singers. But no when it comes to David Tao’s concerts. “ I won’t invite guests to perform. I won’t dance, take off my clothes or dress up like a peacock to attract attention,” Tao said.Tao insisted a concert should offer nothing more than music.
Tao has been on the music scene since 1997. Quality is the word that can best describe his works. With six albums in 10 years, the 38-year-old singer is not prolific(多產(chǎn)的 ), but he has achieved much more than other Chinese singers who have produced 10 or more albums in a short time.
Tao is called the “ Godfather of R&B” in China and has been a trendsetter(創(chuàng)新者) in China’s music industry. His albums have won various awards in Asia for his socially conscious lyrics, simple rhythms and creative mix of traditional sounds, like Peking Opera and traditional Chinese musical instruments.
Tao’s parents were famous entertainers in Taiwan. Tao spent some of his childhood in Hong Kong. His father was an actor, singer and composer, while his mother was a Peking Opera artist. His parents once moved to the United States and his father worked for Walt Disney. Later his parents returned to Taiwan where his father began his singing career, leaving David to finish his education in the United States. Tao met Taiwanese producer, Wang Zhi Ping, who offered him a job. So Tao went back to Taiwan to write and produce songs for many singers. In 1997 with the help of Wang and another Taiwanese producer, Jim Lee, Tao released his first album which set a record in Taiwan as the first album from a new singer. Tao won two awards, Best Newcomer and Best Producer, becoming the first new comer/singer to also win a Best Producer award during the 9th GMA (金曲獎(jiǎng)). Later, Tao released his second album. In this album Tao tried many musical styles including his favorite rock music; in fact each song is different in their style and music arrangement.
“I grew up listening to the most fashionably mixed types of music with my father playing Elvis Presley’s songs in one room and my mother singing Peking Opera in another,” Tao said jokingly.
Tao said he will release a new album after the tour and then he will switch roles to become a film director. Preparation for the movie has already begun and it will be released in 2011. “ After the concert, I will switch my focus to that. I hope I can make it one thing after another.”
小題1:To pop star Tao, what is the most important thing to a concert?
A．Costumes.B．Stage design.
C．Guest singers.D．Music and interaction.
小題2: According to the passage, the reasons for Tao’s albums to win awards are as follows EXCEPT____.
A．socially conscious lyricsB．simple rhythms
C．mix of traditional soundsD．quantities of albums
小題3:. Tao is successful and called the “ Godfather of R&B” because_______.
A．his parents influenced him a lot
B．he himself is prolific
C．he is creative in music
D．Both A and C
小題4: We can infer from the passage that after the concert,_______.
