      The increase in international business and in foreign investment has created a need for executives with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. Americans, however, have not been well trained in either area and, consequently, have not enjoyed the same level of success in negotiation in an international arena as have their foreign counterparts.
      Negotiating is the process of communicating back and forth for the purpose of reaching an agreement. It involves persuasion and compromise, but in order to participate in either one, the negotiators must understand the ways in which people are persuaded and how compromise is reached within the culture of the negotiation.
      In many international business negotiations abroad, Americans are perceived as wealthy and impersonal. It often appears to the foreign negotiator that the American represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation that can afford to pay the price without bargaining further. The American negotiator’s role becomes that of an impersonal supplier of information and cash.
      In studies of American negotiators abroad, several traits have been identified that may serve to confirm this stereotypical perception, while undermining the negotiator’s position. Two traits in particular that cause cross-cultural misunderstanding are directness and impatience on the part of the American negotiator. Furthermore, American negotiators often insist on realizing short-term goals. Foreign negotiators, on the other hand, may value the relationship established between negotiators and may be willing to invest time in it for long-term benefits. In order to solidify the relationship, they may opt for indirect interactions without regard for the time involved in getting to know the other negotiator.
      Clearly, perceptions and differences in values affect the outcomes of negotiations and the success of negotiators. For Americans to play a more effective role in international business negotiations, they must put forth more effort to improve cross-cultural understanding.

      How much will international students have misconceptions about the U.S.? In an effort to quash some myths, here are the four most common stereotypes regarding college education in the United States.
      Myth 1: American students are not as academically driven in comparison to other nations.
      There are more than 3,000 universities in the United States. Some are highly selective, some not at all. The less selective colleges may consist of students who have little concern for their academic well-being, but in the more selective colleges you will find very committed students who will spend countless hours at night on their homework. This is a phrase in the United States called an “all nighter” which is used when a student stays up all night to perfect an assignment. In truth, it is an issue of pride.
      Myth 2: American students party all night and day.
      While American students do enjoy the freedom to explore a full lifestyle, they are also expected to keep up with very high standards of social behavior and academic excellence. International students often join clubs or organizations where they can become involved in exciting programs both on and off campus.
      Myth 3: American students are all rich and can afford a college education.
      Although a certain percentage of American college students do come from wealthy families and have large expendable incomes, most American college students come from moderate-income families. Most American students enter college knowing they must apply for loans, work part-time, and earn scholarships in order to meet their financial obligations.
      Myth 4: Most Americans (and college students) live in large cities which are crime-ridden with drugs and drive-by shootings.
      Of all industrialized nations, the United States has one of the lowest crime rates. College campuses are no exception. Safety is of primary importance to all students, parents, and staff at universities.
      Universities centered in major cities have endless services to ensure the safety of all students, from campus transportation services to on-campus police officers. Most of universities located outside of the city are very safe, and various precautions are made based on their demographic situation.

      In the United States there are six million tennis players and twelve million golfers. These figures would not surprise most people. But many would be surprised to learn that twenty million Americans ride motorcycles. Few people realize that motorcycling is fast becoming one of America’s most popular sports.
      Many kinds of people enjoy motorcycling. The average American motorcyclist is between the ages of twenty-one and thirty-five. He owns his own house, and has a wife, more than one child, and at least one car. He is a responsible citizen.
      Cycle Magazine, a monthly publication with almost 280,000 readers, claims that about fifty-five per cent of American motorcyclists are businessmen, with three per cent in the professions and nine per cent in government service. Such information is offered by motorcyclists in the hope of improving the general public’s impression of their sport. The public has tended to believe that all motorcycles are ridden by wild, irresponsible, lawless young man.
      There are several things about motorcycling that the average citizen dislikes. Motorcyclists often look dirty; in fact, they are dirty. On the road there is little to protect them from mud, crushed insects, and bird droppings. For practical reasons they often dress in old clothing which looks much less respectable than the clothing of people who ride in cars.
      Probably the machine itself also produces anger and fear. Motorcycles are noisy, though some big trucks are even noisier. But trucks are big and carry heavy loads; they are accepted because they perform a needed service, making America move. Motorcycles, on the other hand, make an unpleasant noise just to give their riders pleasure. That is what is commonly thought.
      Of course the danger of motorcycling also helps account for many people’s low opinion of the sport. Its defenders, however, claim that careful cyclists are in less danger than is commonly believed.
      As motorcycling becomes more common in years to come, it will be interesting to see how people in general feel about the sport. Perhaps it will someday become as “respectable” as tennis or golf.

      Schools in the U.S. generally do not have a specific teaching plan for teachers to follow, and they certainly don’t have a set of textbooks that are taught by all school districts throughout the country. That’s why textbooks vary greatly from school to school, and from teacher to teacher even though they are all teaching the same subject in the same grade. Some schools provide books to use, but teachers do not strictly follow them. They only use them as a reference, and enjoy pointing out mistakes and wrong information given in the books. They often share their own points of view with their students. Teaching like this has many advantages. Teachers can bring out their expertise, fully elaborating their most familiar areas. Students are more interested in what they are studying. Also this flexible teaching style benefits students in the development of critical thinking skills and the ability to apply them. On the other hand teaching like this also has many drawbacks. It causes uneven study levels. It is even more so among different schools and districts. Students in the same grade do not usually have a thorough understanding of a subject taught in the same school year. The teacher for the following year would have to spend a lot of time finding out what the students already know or do not know in the subject before starting his/her own teaching plan. Some parts may be repeated, resulting in waste of time; and other parts may not be covered at all.
      Exams in American schools are much less rigid than those in China. Teaching is flexible, so are exams. Even if you memorized the whole textbook, it might not be of much help in the exams. My Chinese friend envied me for not having to worry about the competition for attending the best schools by taking endless exams.
       [共5题]
(1) What are advantages of the flexible teaching style?

五、阅读理解、完形填空题(共5道小题)
42.
      Our dream is the song of our soul. Life without one is reduced to a hollow existence. But life with a dream is filled with meaning and purpose.
      Most of us have a dream, or heart’s desire. But the trouble is most of us have the on/off switch of our dream set to OFF. Whenever we say, “I can’t,” we set the switch to OFF. Whenever we believe we can, we set the switch to ON. Simple, isn’t it? Just because I believe I can do something doesn’t mean there won’t be any problems. But once I believe I can do it, I will seek solutions for every problem I stumble on. And since it is a law of life that we find what we look for, if I look for solutions, I will find them.
      Any worthy dream is a dream worthy of accomplishing. Once I realize I can do it, the next step is to make a commitment. As soon as we make a commitment, great power is released. What seemingly were insurmountable hurdles are now reduced to obstacles of laughable insignificance. But we won’t reach this stage until we decide to stop talking and start acting. Unless we commit ourselves, self-doubt will ferment and block our way.
      Our dreams don’t have to be grand to be great. An aunt of mine sold gloves in a department store for most of her life. Her dream was to be the friendliest and most helpful salesperson around. Year after year, the same customers would return and deliberately seek her out. She brightened everyone’s day and touched the lives of thousands. Was her dream any less significant than that of a prominent person? Of course not. We all have the power to follow a dream that will make a difference to us and those we meet.
      No dream is too small; no dream is too big, so hold on to your dream. Langston Hughes tells why, “Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly.” So, what are you waiting for? Follow your dream!

43. Thereˇs nothing like a beautiful summer dayblue skies, warm breezes, birds singingto lie back and dream about your future. You have the world before you.
      Allow yourself to dream, and think bigas big as the sky. The worldˇs greatest achievers are some of the best dreamers. Walt Disney, Amelia Earhart, Henry Ford, Susan B. Anthony, Andrew Carnegie, and hundreds more, all had dreams.
      Then take the first step to make your dreams come true. Form a goal and accomplish it. Create a new goal and accomplish it. Every time you set and achieve a goal, youˇll move one step closer toward building the future you want for yourself.
      When you achieve a target youˇve set for yourself, it helps build your self-confidence and teaches you self-discipline. Each goal you achieve will boost your confidence and help you set bigger goals for your future. Soon, youˇll find yourself moving on a path to success.
      Steps for reaching your dreams:
      冘 It can be as easy as starting a savings account at your credit union. Give yourself a goal. First, what do you want to save for? It might be a new CD player, your first car, or college.
      冘 Next, where will your savings come from? Will you use a portion of your allowance, or can you think of other ways to earn money?
      冘 Itˇs okay to set small goals at first. In fact, that may be wise so you begin to understand the rewards and personal satisfaction that come from achieving your goals.
      冘 You can keep your goals secret or share them with someone close to you who may help you stay on track.
      冘 Another important step is to write your goal on paper. Post your written goal (or a photo of it) in your room where you can see it regularly. This will remind you of what you are working toward.
      冘 Give yourself a pat on the back when youˇve achieved your goal and start thinking about your next personal challenge.
      冘 Before you know it, youˇll be living your dreams.

      Most people－or at least more Western Europeans－did not accept daydreaming as part of their lives. In fact, until recently, daydreaming was viewed as a waste of time. Or it was considered an unhealthy escape from real life and its duties. But now some people are taking a fresh look at daydreaming. And it may be that more people are suffering from a lack of daydreaming than are suffering from too much of it.
      It now appears that a person’s self-control and self-direction may suffer if he or she does no daydreaming at all. Such a person may become poorly equipped to deal with the pressures of daily life.
      Dr. Joan T. Freyberg has concluded that daydreaming contributes to intellectual growth. It also improves concentration and the ability to get long with others, she says. Another researcher reported that daydreaming seemed to produce improved self-control and creative ability.
      But that’s only part of the story. The most remarkable thing about daydreaming may be its usefulness in shaping our future lives, as we want them to be. Industrialist Henry J. Kaiser believed that much of his success was due to the positive use of daydreaming. He maintained that “you can imagine your future.” Florence Nightingale dreamed of becoming a nurse. The young Thomas Edison pictured himself as an inventor. For these notable achievers, it appears that their daydreams came true.
      Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick believed that the way we pictured ourselves is often the way we turn out. He offered this advice: “Hold a picture of yourself in your mind’s eye, and you will be drawn towards it. Picture yourself as defeated, and that alone will make victory impossible. Picture yourself vividly as winning, and that will contribute immeasurably to success. Do not picture yourself as anything, and you will drift… ”

正确答案：A
(2) What does the first sentence in the fourth paragraph mean?
  (A) But that’s only part of the research.
  (B) But there are still some other stories.
  (C) But the story does not finish yet.
  (D) But there are still some other positive uses of daydreaming.

(3) The example of Thomas Edison is used to show ___________.
  (A) he is a successful dreamer
  (B) he is a successful inventor
  (C) daydreaming can shape our future
  (D) daydreaming can improve creative ability
正确答案：C
(4) According to Harry Emerson, if we do not imagine at all, we may ___________.
  (A) be defeated
  (B) wander and be aimless
  (C) achieve success
  (D) overcome most of the problems
正确答案：B
(5) Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?
  (A) Daydreaming, too much or too little?
  (B) Come on, Imaging Your Future!
  (C) New Discoveries on Daydreaming.
  (D) Citizens Embracing Daydreaming
正确答案：C
参考答案：
    [第二单元]; 第5小题：C 主旨题。做主旨题时，一定要通读全文，把握中心思想。所谓中心思想，是与作者态度相关的概念，是指对核心概念的总的观点或评价，因而抓住中心的关键在于思考三个问题：1）文章核心的概念；2）文章主要叙述的内容；3）作者大致的态度。在此文中，文章的核心概念为“daydream/daydreaming”（做白日梦，幻想，空想），主要叙述的内容是当今所发现的空想、幻想的好处，故可排除选项A）和D）；纵观全文，作者对核心概念和所叙述的内容呈倾向性的肯定态度（体现在“may”一词的多次反复使用上），而非明确的积极肯定态度，故排除B）。答案为C）。

      I always have the dream to dance like a beautiful ballerina twirling around and around and hearing people applaud for me. When I was young, I would twirl around in the fields of wildflowers that grew in my backyard. For hours I would dance as if people were watching me. Reality woke me up when I heard a voice saying, “I don’ know why you bother trying to dance. Ballerinas are pretty, slender little girls. Besides, you don’t have the talent to even be a ballerina.” I remember how those words paralyzed every feeling in my body. I fell to the ground and wept for hours.
      We lived in the country by a nearby lake and I would sometimes go there. My parents were never home anyway and I did not like to be at home. When they were home, my mother just yelled and criticized because nothing was ever perfect in her life. She dreamed of a different life but ended up living in a country far away from the city where she believed her dreams would have come true.
      I enjoyed hanging out by the water. I would sit there and stare at my reflection. There I was, looked nothing like a pretty ballerina dancer.
      As I grew older, I began to realize that the reason my dream was even born in the first place, was because it was something that was inside of me. The dream I had was never nurtured and cared for, so it slowly died. It’s not that I wanted it to die, but I allowed it to die the day I started listening to the words, “You can’t do it.” When I finally woke up from many years of dreaming, I realized that you can’t settle for dancing in the wildflowers, you have to move on to the platform. I still go to the lake sometimes and sit there. Looking at my reflection is different now too. When I was young, I looked at how others saw me. Now that I am older and wiser, I look at how God sees me.

      Leading a dog’s life in America isn’t such a bad thing. Many grocery stores sell pet foods to owners eager to please their pets. In Houston, Texas, dogs can have their dinner delivered to their homes, just like pizza. Well-to-do canines can attend doggy daycare centers while their owners work. Pets can even accompany their owners on vacation. Fancy hotels are beginning to accommodate both man and beast. Furry guests in hotels can enjoy gourmet meals served on fine china and sleep in soft beds.
      Beneath the furry luxuries, there lies a basic American belief: Pets have a right to be treated well. At least 75 animal welfare organizations exist in America. These provide care and adoption services for homeless and abused animals. Vets can give animals an incredible level of medical care for an incredible price. To pay for the high-tech health care, people can buy health insurance for their pets. And when it’s time to say good-bye, owners can bury their pets in a respectable pet cemetery.
      The average American enjoys having pets around, and for good reason. Researchers have discovered that interacting with animals lowers a person’s blood pressure. Dogs can offer protection from burglars and unwelcome visitors. Cats can help rid the home of unwanted pests. Little creatures of all shapes and sizes can provide companionship and love. In many cases, having a pet prepares a young couple for the responsibilities of parenthood. Pets even encourage social relationships: They give their owners an appearance of friendliness, and they provide a good topic of conversation.
      Pets are as basic to American culture as hot dogs or apple pies. To Americans, pets are not just property, but a part of the family. After all, pets are people, too.

43.
      One of the most successful, influential, and beloved women in American history, Eleanor Roosevelt once said that she had one regret: She wished she had been prettier. Who hasn’t felt the same way? We are all too awake to our physical imperfections. To overcome them, we spend billions upon billions of dollars every year on cosmetics, diet products, fashion, and plastic surgery.
      Why do we care so much about how we look? Because it matters. Because beauty is powerful. Because even when we learn to value people mostly for being kind and wise and funny, we are still moved by beauty. No matter how much we argue against it or pretend to be immune, beauty exerts its power over us. There is simply no escape.
      Aristotle said, “Beauty is a greater recommendation than any letter of introduction.” It’s not fair, but it’s true. We simply treat beautiful people better than we do others. Attach a photograph of a beautiful author to an essay, and people will think that it is more creative and more intelligently written than exactly the same essay accompanied by the photo of a homely author.
      As children, beautiful people are more likely to become favorites with parents and teachers. Later, they’re more likely to get good jobs and promotion. Beautiful lawyers get paid more than their less attractive colleagues. Good-looking criminals are more likely to win the sympathy of judges and juries. Attractive people in need are more likely to receive help from strangers.

      Obviously television has both advantages and disadvantages.   
         In the first place, television is not only a convenient source of entertainment, but also a comparatively cheap one. With a TV set in the family people don’t have to pay for expensive seats at the theatre, the cinema, or the opera. All they have to do is to push a button or turn a knob, and they can see plays, films, operas and shows of every kind. Some people, however, think that this is where the danger lies. The television viewers need do nothing. He does not even have to use his legs if he has a remote control. He makes no choice and exercises, no judgment. He is completely passive and has everything presented to him without any effort on his part.   
         Television, it is often said, keeps one informed about current events and the latest developments in science and politics. The most distant countries and the strangest customs are brought right into one’s sitting room. It could be argued that the radio performs this service as well; but on television everything is much more living, much more real. Yet here again there is a danger. The television screen itself has a terrible, almost physical charm for us. We get so used to looking at the movements on it, so dependent on its pictures that it begins to control our lives. People are often heard to say that their television sets have broken down and that they have suddenly found that they have far more time to do things and that they have actually begun to talk to each other again. It makes one think, doesn’t it?   
         There are many other arguments for and against television. We must realize that television itself is neither good nor bad. It is the uses that it is put to that determine its value to society.

      Sports and games make our bodies strong, prevent us from getting too fat, and keep us healthy. But these are not their only use. They give us valuable practice in making eyes, brain and muscles work together. In tennis, our eyes see the ball coming, judge its speed and direction and pass this information on to the brain. The brain then arms, legs, and so on, so that the ball is met and hit back where it ought to go. All this must happen with very great speed, and only those who have had a lot of practice at tennis can carry out this complicated chain of events successfully. For those who work with their brains most of the day, the practice of such skills is especially useful.   
      　 Sports and games are also very useful for character-training. In their lessons at school, boys and girls may learn about such virtues as unselfishness, courage, discipline and love of one's country; but what is learned in books cannot have the same deep effect on a child's character as what is learned by experience. The ordinary day-school cannot give much practical training in living, because most of the pupils' time is spent in classes, studying lessons. So it is what the pupils do in their spare time that really prepares them to take their place in society as citizens when they grow up. If each of them learns to work for his team and not for himself on the football field, he will later find it natural to work for the good of his country instead of only for his own benefit.
       [共5题]
(1) Besides keeping us healthy, how many other good points of sports and games are mentioned in the passage?
  (A) One.
  (B) Two.
  (C) Three.
  (D) Four.

  (D) None of the above
正确答案：A
(3) The main idea of paragraph 1 is __________.
  (A) Sports and games make our bodies healthy
  (B) Tennis is a very good sport
  (C) Tennis is a very fast sport
  (D) Sports and games help us practice many parts of our bodies together.

      Another virtue Americans respect is perseverance. Remember Aesop’s fable about the turtle and the rabbit that had a race? The rabbit thought he could win easily, so he took a nap. But the turtle finally won because he did not give up. Another story tells of a little train that had to climb a steep hill. The hill was so steep that the little train had a hard time trying to get over it. But the train just kept pulling, all the while saying, “I think I can, I think I can.” At last, the train was over the top of the hill. “I thought I could, I thought I could,” chugged the happy little train.
      Compassion may be the queen of American virtues. The story of “The Good Samaritan” from the Bible describes a man who showed compassion. On his way to a certain city, a Samaritan man found a poor traveler lying on the road. The traveler had been beaten and robbed. The kind Samaritan, instead of just passing by, stopped to help this person in need. Compassion can even turn into a positive cycle. In fall 1992, people in Iowa sent truckloads of water to help Floridians hit by a hurricane. The next summer, during the Midwest flooding, Florida returned the favor. In less dramatic ways, millions of Americans are quietly passing along the kindnesses shown to them.
      Great moral stories can build character. The success of The Book of Virtues in 1993 shows that many Americans still believe in moral values. Moral values are invaluable.

43.
      Patience is a quality of heart that can be greatly enhanced with deliberate practice. An effective way that I have found to deepen my own patience is to create actual practice periods–periods of time that I set up in my mind to practice the art of patience. Life itself becomes a classroom, and the curriculum is patience. You can start with as little as five minutes and build up your capacity for patience, over time. Start by saying to yourself, “Okay, for the next five minutes I won’t allow myself to be bothered by anything. I’ll be patient.” What you’ll discover is truly amazing. Your intention to be patient, especially if you know it’s only for a short while, immediately strengthens your capacity for patience. Patience is one of those special qualities where success feeds on itself. Once you reach little milestones—five minutes of successful patience—you’ll begin to see that you do, indeed, have the capacity to be patient, even for longer periods of time. Over time, you may even become a patient person.
      Being patient will help you to keep your perspective. You’ll see even a difficult situation, say your present challenge, isn’t “life or death” but simply a minor obstacle that must be dealt with. Without patience, the same scenario can become a major emergency complete with yelling, frustration, hurt feelings, and high blood pressure. It’s really not worth all that. Whether you’re needing to deal with children, your boss, or a difficult person or situation—if you don’t want to “sweat the small stuff”, improving your patience level is
      a great way to start.

正确答案：A
(3) According to the passage, if we want to be patient, ________.
  (A) we should have 5-minute practice everyday
  (B) we should reach little milestones—five minutes of successful patience first

      At sixteen Ron Mackie might have stayed at school, but the future called to him excitedly. “Get out of the classroom into a job,” it said, and Ron obeyed. His father, supporting the decision, found a place for him in a supermarket. “You’re lucky, Ron,” he said. “For every boy with a job these days, there’s a dozen without.” So Ron joined the working world at twenty pounds a week.
      For a year he spent his days filing shelves with tins of food. By the end of that time he was looking back on his school-days as a time of great variety (多样性) and satisfaction. He searched for an interest in his work, with little success.
      One fine day instead of going to work Ron got a lift on a lorry going south. With nine pounds in his pocket, a full heart ad a great longing for the sea, he set out to make a better way for himself. That evening, in Bournemouth, he had a sandwich and a drink in a café run by an elderly man and his wife. Before he had finished the sandwich, the woman had taken him on for the rest of the summer, at twenty pounds a week, a room upstairs and three meals a day. The ease and speed of it rather took Ron’s breath away. At quite times Ron had to check the old man’s arithmetic in the records of the business.
      At the end of the season, he stayed on the coast. He was again surprised how straightforward it was for a boy of 17 to make a living. He worked in shops mostly, but once he took a job in a hotel for 3 weeks. Late in October he was taken on by the sick manager of a shoe shop. Ron soon found himself in charge there; he was the only one who could keep the books.

      Ask three people to look out the same window at a busy street corner and tell you what they see. Chances are you will receive three different answers. Each person sees the same scene, but each perceives something different about it.
      Perceiving goes on in our minds. Of the three people who look out the window, one may say that he sees a policeman giving a motorist a ticket. Another may say that he sees a rush hour traffic jam at the intersection. The third may tell you that he sees a woman trying to cross the street with four children in tow. For perception is the mind’s interpretation of what the senses—in this case our eyes—tell us.
      Many psychologists (心理学家) today are working to try to determine just how a person experiences or perceives the world around him. Using a scientific approach, these psychologists set up experiments in which they can control all of the factors. By measuring and charting the results of many experiments, they are trying to find out what makes different people perceive totally different things about the same scene.

      Lately, more and more singles are turning to the Internet for better dating opportunities. The process of an online relationship, however, is very different from the real-life dating process. The online environment is, by its very nature, restrictive.
      Trish met a man online, and the online relationship quickly blossomed into an intense, intimate encounter. She had lied in the beginning of the relationship by understating her own weight by 150 pounds. When he asked for her picture a week later, she worried about her lie, and sent a picture of a slimmer woman instead. In her mind, however, he would come to accept her physically once he fell in love with her soul. A few weeks passed, and the relationship intensified. He arranged to fly to meet her. She felt confident that her lie would be forgiven if she confessed in person. However, the woman he met was nothing physically that she had led him to imagine. He walked away angrily and refused to speak to her again. Trish blamed society’s focus on beauty, not willing to realize that she had cheated him.
      Amy, a friend of mine, was involved in an online romance for several months with Jed, a man who lived in another state. Their relationship included lengthy and intimate phone conversations. They genuinely cared for each other, and spent time supporting one another through difficult life decisions. From their perspectives, they shared an intimate and loving relationship. When she suddenly became ill and hospitalized, I relayed messages to him, until he was able to contact her in her hospital room. They soon began discussing the possibility of living together.
      Problems occurred when they met for the first time. My friend complained that the spark that they shared online no longer existed in real life. Once completely charmed, they now easily annoyed each other. After sharing their feelings and troubles for three months, they became total strangers face-to-face. Realizing that they had crossed intimacy boundaries, it was uncomfortable to assume even a friendly relationship.
       [共5题]
(1) According to the 1st paragraph, the online relationship _____________.
  (A) is similar to the real-life date
  (B) is not limiting by nature
  (C) is a better dating opportunity
  (D) is more and more popular among singles

  (B) Because she was not as slim as she lied.
  (C) Because she fell in love with him.

正确答案：B
(3) When did the man arrange their first meeting?
  (A) After he knew the lie.
  (B) After he got her picture.
  (C) After their relationship became steady.
  (D) After he accepted her physically.
正确答案：C
(4) Why did the man get angry?
  (A) Because Trish refused to speak to him.
  (B) Because Trish blamed the society, not herself.
  (C) Because Trish didn’t confess before him.
  (D) Because he realized he was cheated.

  (B) Her illness made them live together.
  (C) It is hard for strangers to live together.

正确答案：A
参考答案：
    [第五单元]; 第5小题： A 主旨题。 文中提到Amy的生病促使二人感情的升温，遂决定 一起生活，但问题也随之而来，引发诸多矛盾，再次见面已形同路人。作者稍后评论说“一个想在网上结识未来伴侣的人也必须作好在现实生活中与之见面的准备。毕竟，人是生活在真实世界中。仅仅通过屏幕和键盘去彻底认识另一个人是不可能的”。由此可见，二人的故事告诉大家网恋在现实中是很难生存的，大家应谨慎行事。

      Who would want to build a virtual house on the Internet? Or spend hours online each week living inside a make-believe world? It sounds crazy, but thousands of video game enthusiasts do just that.
      Online worlds are becoming more popular than ever. Many people have belonged to these online worlds for years. Inside these imaginary worlds, video gamers develop characters over time. These characters learn skills, fight battles, build relationships, and even own property. Some communities inside these online worlds have several hundred thousand citizens!
      The people role-playing in online worlds buy and sell things with virtual money. Many gamers earn virtual money by running successful tailor shops and weapons dealerships in their online worlds. Money and treasures can also be taken from victims in battle—it’s a dangerous virtual world out there!
      But gaining virtual wealth can be too time-consuming for the gamer who wants to buy his castle now. Serious game addicts have begun doing something the online world designers probably never imagined.
      Some gamers are exchanging real-world money to buy virtual money and property for their online worlds. Using online auction sites such as eBay.com, gamers buy and sell whatever they need. A whole mini-economy has grown around this trade of goods.
      Some of the most valuable items for sale in online worlds aren’t cheap. Sometimes they are rare, which makes them even more valuable. For example, consider a nice virtual house in a prime location. This property might cost as much as a new TV set in the real world!
      For the person who doesn’t participate in these online worlds, the appeal must seem peculiar. What’s the attraction with these online worlds? Why would people spend money on something that doesn’t really exist?
      The money being exchanged for those online swords and castles is real. The swords and castles aren’t. Absurd? Maybe. But the time and effort spent by the players is real. So is their love for online worlds. It seems only the human imagination can make something out of nothing!

      Mrs. Wilson, a Cree Indian in her sixties, was looking for a home to rent. She heard that one was available in an ideal location, close to the Calgary core.
      Mrs. Wilson and her daughters went to look at the house. Sure enough, there was a “For Rent” sign in the window. A woman next door told them that the owner was Antonio Pompei, who owned a bakery farther up the street.
      Mrs. Wilson has great difficulty walking for she is almost blind, so she waited in the car while her daughters went along to the bakery. The daughters met Mr. Pompei, who agreed to rent the house. However, the daughters wanted to see the inside of the house before they agreed to rent it. One of the bakery employees went with them to the house, where he met Mrs. Wilson. All three women liked the house and returned to the bakery to tell Mr. Pompei that they would rent it.
      When Mr. Pompei saw Mrs. Wilson, he quickly walked out of the bakery. He had not realized Mrs. Wilson was Indian. Her daughters look more like their father, who is of a different ethnic（种族）origin. The next day, Mrs. Wilson and her daughters returned to the bakery in an attempt to rent the house. Because of her blindness, Mr. Wilson was helped out of the car and guided into the bakery by one of her daughters. Mr. Pompei told the women that the house was already rented.
      The Wilsons suspected discrimination. As soon as they got home, Mrs. Wilson phoned Mr. Pompei, without identifying herself, Mr. Pompei lost his temper.
      Mrs. Wilson complained to the Human Rights Commission. Their examination discovered that the tenants who did rent the house had not even seen it at the time when Mrs. Wilson visited it. They applied to rent it a full week after Mrs. Wilson had applied.

      The advantages and disadvantages of a large population have long been a subject of discussion among economists. It has been argued that the supply of good land is limited. To feed a large population, poor land must be cultivated and the good land worked intensively. Thus, each person produces less and this means a lower average income than could be obtained with a smaller population. Other economists have argued that a large population gives more chance of development of facilities such as ports, roads and railways, which are not likely to be built unless there is a big demand.
      One of the difficulties in carrying out a worldwide birth control program lies in the fact that official attitudes to population growth vary from country to country depending on the level of industrial development and the availability of food and raw materials. In the developing country where a vastly expanded population is pressing hard upon the limits of food, space and natural resources, the first concern of government will be to set a limit on the birthrate, whatever the final result may be. In a highly industrialized society the problem may be more complex. A decreasing birthrate may lead to unemployment because it results in a declining market for manufactured goods. When the pressure of population on housing declines, prices also decline and building industry grow weaker. Faced with concern such as these, the government of a developed country may well prefer to see a slowly increasing population, rather than one which is stable or in decline.
