What Is a Boy?
Between the innocence of babyhood and the seriousness of manhood we find a delightful creature called a“ boy ” . Boys come in different sizes, weights, and colors, but all boys have the same belief: to enjoy every second of every minute of every hour of every day and to fill the air with noise until the adult males pack them off to bed at night. Boy are found everywhere – on top of, under, inside of, climbing on, swinging from, running around, or jumping to. Mothers spoil them, little girls hate them, older sisters and brothers love them, and God protects them. A boy is TRUTH with dirt on its face. BEAUTY with a cut on its finger, WISDOM with chocalate in its hair, and the HOPE of the future with a snake in its pocket.
When you are busy, a boy is a trouble – maker and a noise. When you want him to make a good impression, his brain turns to jelly or else he becomes a wild creature bent on destroying the world and himself with it.
A boy is a mixture – he has the stomach of a horse, the digestion ( 消化力 ) of stones and sand,the energy of an atomic bomb, the curiosity of a cat, the imagination of a superman, the shyness of a sweet girl, the brave nature of a bull, the violence of a firecracker, but when you ask him to make something, he has five thumbs ( 拇指 ) on each hand.
He likes ice cream, knives, saws, Christmas, comic books, woods, water (in its natural habitat), large animals, Dad, trains, Saturday mornings, and fire engines. He is not much for Sunday schools, company, schools, books without pictures, music lessons, neckties, barbers, girls, overcoats, adults, or bedtime.
Nobody else is so early to rise, or so late to supper. Nobody else gets so much fun out of trees, dogs, and breezes. Nobody else can put into one pocket a rusty knife, a half eaten apple, a
three-feet rope, six cents and some unknown things.
A boy is a magical creature – he is your headache but when you come home at night with only shattered pieces of your hopes and dreams, he can mend them like new with two magic words, “ Hi, Dad! ”

Aristotle, the Greek philosopher, summed up the four chief qualities of money 2,000 years ago. It must be lasting and easy to recognize, to divide, and to carry about. When we think of money today, we picture it either as round, flat pieces of metal which we call coins, or as printed paper notes. But there are still parts of the world today where coins and notes are of no use .A traveler there might starve if he had none of the particular ‘ local money ’. Among isolated peoples ,who are not often reached by traders from outside ,commerce usually means barter ,which is a direct exchange of goods .Perhaps it is fish for vegetables or meat for baskets .For this kind of simple trading, money is not needed ,but there is often something that everyone wants ,such as salt to flavor food, shells for necklaces ,or iron and copper to make into tools. These things — salt ,shells or metals — are still used as money in out-of-the-way parts of the world today. Salt may seem rather a strange material to use as money ,but in countries where the food of the people is mainly vegetables ,it is often an absolute necessity .Cakes of salt ,stamped to show their value ,were used as money in Tibet until recent times, and they can still buy goods in parts of Africa. Cowrie seashells have been used as money at some time or another over the greater part of the Old World. These were collected mainly from the beaches of the Maldive Islands in the Indian Ocean ,and were traded to India and China. In Africa ,cowries were traded right across the continent from East to West .Four or five thousand went for one Maria Theresa dollar ,an Australian silver coin which was once accepted as currency （货币） in many parts of Africa. Metal was used as money in many parts of the world .Iron ,in lumps ,bars or rings is still used in many countries instead of money .It can either be exchanged for goods ,or made into tools or weapons. The early money of China ,apart from shells ,was of bronze ,often in flat ,round pieces with a hole in the middle ,called ‘ cash ’.The earliest of these are between three thousand and four thousand years old — older than the earliest coins of the eastern Mediterranean. Nowadays ,coins and notes have supplanted nearly all the more picturesque forms of money ,and although in one or two of the more remote countries people still store it for future use ,primitive money will soon be found only in museums. 1． Nowadays we think of money as() . A．pieces of metal or metallic paper B．made of either metal or paper C．some printed notes and papers D．round and flat sheets of paper 2． In some parts of the world a traveler might go hungry() . A． even if his money was of the local kind B．even if he had no coins or notes C．if he did not know the local rate of exchange D． even if he had plenty of ready money 3． What can we infer from the passage? A． Isolated peoples exchange goods by means of barter. B．Salt cakes are taking the place of picturesque forms. C．Seashells could be traded with Maria Theresa dollars. D． The Chinese were among the earliest users of metal ‘ cash ’. 4． Primitive types of money will be used (). A． to replace more picturesque forms B．as exhibits to be shown in public C．at local country markets and shops D．as entrance tickets in museums
Many people who work in London prefer to live outside of it and to go into their offices or schools every day by train, car or bus, even though this means they have to get up early in the morning and reach home late in the evening. One advantage of living outside London is that houses are cheaper. Even a small flat in London without a garden costs quite a lot to rent. With the same money, one can get a little house in the country with a garden of one’s own. Then, in the country one can rest from the noise and hurry of the town. Even though one has to get up earlier and spend more time in trains or buses, one can sleep better at night and during weekends and on summer evenings. One can enjoy the fresh, clean air of the country. If one likes gardens, one can spend one’s free time digging, planting, watering and doing the hundred and one other jobs which are needed in a garden. Then, when the flowers and vegetables come up, one has the reward( 回报,奖赏) of one who has shared the secret of Nature. Some people, however, take no interest in country things: for them, happiness lies in the town, with its cinemas and theatres, beautiful shops and busy streets, dance-halls and restaurants. Such people would feel that their life was not worth living if they had to live it outside London. An occasional (偶尔的) walk in one of the parks and a fortnight’s (two weeks) visit to the sea every summer is all the country they want: the rest they are quite prepared to leave to those who are glad to get away from London every night. 1.Which of the following statements is NOT true? People who like country things prefer to live outside the city. People who work in London prefer to live in the country. Because of certain disadvantages of living outside London, some people who work in London prefer to live inside London. Because of certain advantages of living outside London, many people who work in London prefer to live outside London. 2.One can use the same money for _____ to buy a little house with a garden in the country. getting a small flat with a garden having a small flat with a garden renting a small flat without a garden buying a small flat without a garden 3.When the flowers and vegetables in the garden come up, those ____ have the reward of one who has shared the secret of Nature. who live in the country who have spent time working in the garden who have a garden of their own who have been digging, planting and watering 4.People who think happiness lies in the town would feel that ____ if they had to live it outside London. their life was meaningless their life was invaluable they didn’tdeserve a happy life they were not worthy of their happy life 5. The underlined word “rest” in the last paragraph refers to _____. the rest time the rest people the rest of the country the rest of the parks and of the sea
All of us can change our behaviour to fit different situations.We are often noisy at weddings and sympathetic at funerals.Our table manners are not the same at a picnic as in a restaurant.When speaking with people,we feel free to interrupt close friends but tend to listen to our employers until they finish.If we don’t make such adjustments(调整),we are likely to get into trouble. From one point of view,language is behaviour;it is part of the way we act.And like every other kind of behaviour,it must be adjusted to fit different contexts or situations where it is use For instance,among people who are used to a writing system,there is one adjustment everyone makes:they speak one way and write another way.Speakers can stop in the middle of a conversation and repeat themselves if they sense that they are being misunderstood;writers often go back over their writing to see that it is clear,which is,however,before the communication occur.Once writers have passed their writing to someone else,they cannot change it. Speakers can use intonation(语调)，stress(重音)，and pauses to help make their meaning clear.A simple sentence like “John kept my pencil” may mean,by a shift in the stress and intonation patterns,either John rather than someone else kept the pencil,or John kept rather than just borrowed the pencil,or it was a pencil rather than anything else that he kept.Writers,on the other hand,have their special tools of various punctuation(标点) marks,capitals,italic(斜体) letters,and so on.Skillful writers could also change the word order of a sentence.So“Cindy only had five dollars” could be turned into “Cindy had only five dollars” to mean Cindy had no more than five dollars,or into “Only Cindy had five dollars” to mean nobody but Cindy had five dollars. 1.The main purpose of the first paragraph in this passage is to _______. summarize the passage introduce the topic of the passage use examples to illustrate the first sentence of the paragraph use examples to illustrate the last sentence of the paragraph 2.According to Paragraph 1,we must adjust our behavior because _______. we should appear happy at weddings and sad at funerals we should listen to our employers more than to our friends our manners should be different in different places our behavior should be acceptable to others around 3.Language as mentioned in Paragraph 2 is considered _______. a kind of behavior an act found in all situations an adjustment everyone makes both spoken and written 4.According to Paragraph 2,speakers and writers differ mainly in _______. the amount of time they spend on the communication the number of times they stop while communicating how they can make sure that they are not misunderstood when they decide to begin the communication 5.According to Paragraph 3,speakers can use such tools as _______ to make their meaning clear. intonation patterns and word order stress patterns and word order pauses and punctuation marks pauses and shifts in stress patterns 您的答案:
The orderly came back in a few minutes with a rifle （步枪） and some Burmans（缅甸人） . He told us that the elephant was in the rice fields below ,only a few hundred yards away. As I started forward practically the whole population of the quarter flocked out of the houses and followed me .They had seen the rifle and were all shouting that I was going to shoot the elephant .It was fun to them ,as it would be to an English crowd ;besides ,they wanted the meat .It made me a little uneasy .I had no intention of shooting the elephant —had I merely sent for the rifle to defend myself — and it is always uneasy to have a crowd following you. I marched down the hill ,looking and feeling a fool ,with the rifle over my shoulder and an ever-growing army of people knocking and pushing at my heels .Beyond the huts there was a rice field a thousand yards across ,muddy from the first rains. The elephant was standing eight yards from the road .He took not the slightest notice of the crowd .He was tearing up bunches of grass, beating them against his knees to clean them and feeding them into his mouth. As soon as I saw the elephant I knew with perfect certainty that I ought not to shoot him. It is a serious matter to shoot a working elephant —it is comparable to destroying a huge and costly piece of machinery. There, peacefully eating, the elephant looked no more dangerous than a cow. I thought then and I think now that his attack of “ must ”was already passing off; in which case he would merely wander harmlessly about. Moreover, I did not in the least want to shoot him. But at that moment I glanced round at the crowd that had followed me. It was an immense crowd, two thousand at the least and growing every minute. I looked at the sea of the faces above the colorful clothes —faces all happy and excited over this bit of fun, all certain that the elephant was going to be shot. They were watching me as they would watch a magician about to perform a trick. They did not like me. But with the magical rifle in my hands I was momentarily worth watching. And suddenly I realized that I should have to shoot the elephant after all. The people expected it of me and I had got to do it; I could feel their two thousand wills pressing me forward. And it was at this moment that I first felt the hollowness （空洞） , the uselessness of the white man’ s control in the East. Here was I, standing in front of the unarmed crowd —seemingly the leading actor; but in reality only a puppet （傀儡） . I understood in this moment that when the white man turns ruler of complete power it is his own freedom that he destroys. 1． The people were glad to think the elephant was to be shot mainly because _________. A． it had damaged their homes and crops B．it would provide them with meat C．it would make them feel entertained D．it was spoiling their rice fields 2． When the writer saw the elephant he felt _______. A． foolish B．afraid C．pitiful D．confident 3． The writer realized that he had to shoot the elephant because _________. A． shooting elephants is a serious problem B．everybody expected it of him C．he did not wish to disappoint the rulers D． he had to show how guns are fired 4． What does the writer intend to tells us when he tells the story? A． Leading actors are sometimes foolish puppets. B．Government for white people are useless. C．Power can sometimes turn people imprisoned. D． Unarmed crowds are in control of everything.
