"A good book for children should simply be a good book in its own right ," says Mollie Hunter. Born and brought up near Edinburgh,Mollie has devoted her talents to writing primarily for young people. She firmly believes that there is always and should always be a wider audi?ence for any good book whatever its main market is. In Mollie's opinion,it is necessary to make full use of language and she enjoys telling a story,which is what every writer should be doing. "If you aren't telling a story,you're a very dead writer indeed," she says. With the chief function of a writer being to entertain (讓人愉快) ,Mollie is indeed an entertainer. "I have this great love of not only the meaning of language but of the music of language," she says. "This love goes back to early childhood. I've told stories all my life. I had a school teacher who used to ask us what we would like to be when we grew up and,because my family always had dogs,and I was very good at handling them,I said I wanted to work with dogs,and the teacher always said ' Nonsense,Mollie,dear,you'll be a writer. ' So finally I thought that this woman must have something,since she was a good teacher and I decided when I was nine that I would be a writer."

This childhood intention is described in her novel,A Sound of Chariots,which although written in the third person is clearly autobiographical (自傳體的) and gives a picture both of Mollie's ambition (理想) and her struggle towards its achievement. Thoughts of her childhood in?evitably (不可避免地) brought thoughts of the time when her home was still a village with butter?cup meadows and strawberry fields―sadly now covered with modern houses. "I was once taken back to see it and I felt that somebody had lain dirty hands all over my childhood. I'll never go back," she said. "Never.""When I set one of my books in Scotland," she said, "I can recall my romantic (浪漫的) feelings as a child playing in those fields,or watching the village black?smith at work. And that's important,because children now know so much so early that romance can't exist for them,as it did for us."

(   ) 5. What does Mollie Hunter's opinion about the nature of a good book?

   A. It should not aim at a narrow audience.

   B. It should be attractive to young readers.

   C. It should be based on original ideas.

   D. It should not include too much conversation.

(   ) 6. In Mollie Hunter's viewpoint,which of the following is one sign of a poor writer?

   A. Being poor in life experience. B. Being short of writing skills.

   C. The weakness of description. D. The absence of a story.

(   ) 7. In comparison with children of earlier years,Mollie feels that modern children are

   A. more intelligent   B. better informed

   C. less eager to learn   D. less interested in reality

(   ) 8. What's the writer's purpose in writing this text?

   A. To describe Mollie Hunter's most successful books.

   B. To share her enjoyment of Mollie Hunter's books.

   C. To introduce Mollie Hunter's work to a wider audience.

   D. To provide information for Mollie Hunter's existing readers.

The first day of school our professor introduced a little old lady to us.

"Why are you in college at such a young age?" I asked later. She jokingly replied, " I'm here to meet a rich husband,get married,have a couple of children,and then retire and travel."

"No seriously," I asked. I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age. "I always dreamed of having a college education and now I'm getting one! ”she told me.

We became instant friends. Every day for the next three months we would leave class to?gether and talk nonstop. I was always listening to this " time machine" as she shared her wisdom and experience with me.

At the end of the semester we invited Rose to make a speech to our football team. I'll never forget what she taught us. As she began to deliver her prepared speech,she dropped her note card on the floor. A little embarrassed she simply said, "I'm sorry. This whiskey is killing me!I'll never get my speech back in order to let me just tell you what I know."As we laughed she cleared her throat and began:" We do not stop playing because we are old;we grow old because we stop playing. There are only four secrets to staying young,being happy,and achieving suc?cess. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You've got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams,you die. We have so many people walking around who are dead and don't even know it!There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don't do one productive thing,you will turn twenty years old. Anybody can grow older. That doesn't take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding the opportunity in change. Have no regrets. The elderly usually don't have regrets for what we did,but rather for things we did not do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets."

At the year's end Rose finished the college degree. One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep. Over two thousand college students attended her funeral to honor the wonderful woman who taught by example that it's never too late to be all you can possibly be.

(   ) 1. Rose set us a good example by        in realizing her dream.

   A. perseverance   B. hard working   C. resolution   D. determination

(   ) 2. What does the underlined phrase "at her age" really mean?

   A. She is actually a middleaged woman.

   B. She is quite a young woman.

   C. She is considerably an old woman.

   D. She is neither young nor old.

(   ) 3. What can we infer from the sentence "Why are you in college at such a young age?"?

   A. The writer asks frankly because he/she thinks Rose is really young.

   B. The writer asks jokingly because he/she knows Rose is really an old woman.

   C. The writer asks the question for sure because he/she doesn't know her real age.

   D. The writer asks the question because he/she thinks Rose is too young to learn.

(   ) 4. What is the best title for this passage?

   A. An Old Wonderful Woman Pursuing Her Dream

   B. No Matter How Old You Are,Never Give Up Learning

   C. Never Too Old to Learn

   D. A Good Student,A Good Example

Thousands ofUKuniversity students are being required to sign good behavior regulations with their universities. They are warned that they could be kicked out of the college if they break these regulations. Oxford and Chester Universities have introduced such regulations this year. Chester University says that new students have responsibilities to " study hard,attend regularly and participate appropriately at lectures,courses,classes and other activities which form part of the program. " Both the UK government and universities insist such regulations are a matter for universities to decide. Some universities even make the regulations a condition for entry.

However,the National Union of Students (NUS) is against such move,saying the regulations are "onesided". The NUS says it will oppose any arrangements that students don't agree with. The vicepresident at the NUS doubted whether some students knew what they were getting into.

I just finished taking an evening class at Stanford. The last lecture was on the mindbody connection―the relationship between stress and disease. The speaker (head of psychiatry (精神病學) at Stanford) said,among other things,one of the best things that a man could do for his health is to be married to a woman,whereas for a woman,one of the best things she could do for her health was to nurture (培育) her relationships with her girlfriends. At first everyone laughed,but he was serious.

Women connect with each other differently and provide support systems that help each other to deal with stress and difficult life experiences. Physically this quality "girlfriend time" helps us to create more serotonin一a neurotransmitter (神經(jīng)傳遞素) that helps combat depression and can create a general feeling of well being. Women share feelings whereas men often form relationships around activities. They rarely sit down with a buddy (伙伴) and talk about how they feel about certain things or how their personal lives are going. Jobs? Yes. Sports? Yes. Cars? Yes. Fishing,hunting,golf? Yes. But their feelings? Rarely. Women do it all of the time. We share from our souls with our sisters,and evidently that is very good for our health. He said that spending time with a friend is just as important to our general health as jogging or working out at a gym.

There's a tendency to think that when we are "exercising" we are doing something good for our bodies,but when we are hanging out with friends,we are wasting our time and should be more productively engaged―not true. In fact,he said that failure to create and maintain quality personal relationships with other humans is as dangerous to our physical health as smoking!So every time you hang out to schmooze (閑談) with a gal pal,just pat yourself on the back and congratulate yourself for doing something good for your health!We are indeed very very lucky. So let's toast to our friendship with our girlfriends. Evidently it's very good for our health.

(   ) 5. It can be concluded that women tend to share feelings to deal with stress whereas men

   A. often sit down with a friend to talk about their feelings

   B. seldom share their feelings of depression with friends

   C. sometimes exchange their feelings about personal lives with friends

   D. always do different activities to combat depression with friends

(   ) 6. The underlined phrase "working out" in the second paragraph most probably means

   A. figuring out the algebra problems 

   B. puzzling out the answer to the problem 

   C. doing physical exercise  

   D. solving the difficult problem

(   ) 7. The purpose of the first paragraph is to show that         .

   A. marriage is good for men while relationships with girlfriends essential for women to be healthy

   B. it is a best thing for men and women to get married in order to keep healthy

   C. the speaker was serious to talk about the relationship between stress and disease

   D. one of the best things women could do for health was to nurture the relationships with boyfriends

(   ) 8. What can we learn from the last paragraph?

   A. "Exercising" good for our bodies, "hanging out" wasting our time.

   B. A disagreeable relationship with other persons is similarly dangerous to our health.

   C. We have reasons to toast to the friendship with our girlfriends.

   D. Hanging out with friends should be more productively engaged.

 When a rather dirty,poorly dressed person kneels at your feet and puts out his hands to beg for a few coins,do you hurry on,not knowing what to do,or do you feel sad and hurriedly hand over some money? What should our attitude to beggars be? There can be no question that the world is full of terribly sad stories. It must be terrible to have no idea where our next meal is going to come from. It seems cruel not to give some money to beggars.

Certainly,most of the world's great religions (宗教) order us to be openhearted and share what we have with those less fortunate than ourselves. But has the world changed? Maybe what was morally (道德方面) right in the old days,when one knew exactly who in the village had suf?fered misfortune and needed help,is no longer the best idea. Quite a few people will not give anything to beggars. Let us look at their arguments.

First,some believe that many city beggars dress up on purpose to look pitiable,but actually make a good living from begging. Giving things to. beggars only encourages this sort of evil (惡行) .Secondly,there is the worry that the money you give will be spent on beer,wine or drugs. Thirdly,there is the opinion that there is no real excuse for begging. One might be poor,but that is no reason for losing one's sense of pride and selfdependence.

Related to this is the opinion that the problem should be dealt with by the government rather than ordinary people. Some people think beggars should go to the local government and ask for help.

It is hard to come to any final conclusion. There are various cases and we must deal with them differently. A few coins can save a life in some situations,and even if the money is wasted,that does not take away the moral goodness of the giver.

(   ) 1. What is mainly discussed in the passage?

   A. The world has changed.

   B. What was morally right in the old days is no longer the best idea.

   C. It seems cruel not to give any money to beggars.

   D. The arguments about helping beggars.

(   ) 2. What can we infer from the underlined sentence "But has the world changed?" in the second paragraph?

   A. People no longer know who suffers misfortune in the village.

   B. Some people will not do what was morally right in the past.

   C. We don't meet with those who need help any more.

   D. Now it is the government's duty to help the beggars.

(   ) 3. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?

   A. Some people dress up to pretend to be beggars.

   B. Some beggars want money to help their children go to school.

   C. Some beggars use the money to buy drugs.

   D. Some beggars have no excuse for begging.

(   ) 4. Quite a few people refuse to give anything to beggars just because        

   A. they think it is the government's duty to deal with this problem.

   B. they believe it is not worth caring for some beggars.

   C. they have some worries.

   D. they think some beggars have no selfrespect.
