填空题Jennifer: The greenhouse effect might be causing the change, but it's a cycle that's been tracked for about a hundred years and in the past 20 years or so it just stopped cycling. And this is only affecting a small part of the world. People talk about greenhouse effect because they want to show how much concern they have about the future of the world. Don't be as silly as them. Kac: Spring just hits here, too. It's so nice—windows open, the fresh air of changing seasons just lights me up. When I was younger this was the season for walking through the melting snow and ice, across roadsides, through square acre forests among the fields, I got so excited to be out in the wild. It's tough to be in the city this time of year. Maybe I'll go camping soon! Soscia: In the city you don't have seasons. Spring rain does not make man-made structure grow, and wet roads are not inconvenient for you because you can move around in your car. Summer's heat is no longer a problem and air-conditioning makes your rooms cool as autumn. The colors of the city don't change because nature is not powerful enough to change them as she changes the color of woods. Winter snow leaves nothing white but muddy roads. Harno: Snow in Georgia is a funny thing. We have been having 24 hours weather news on the TV for the past week, just because there is a threat of snow. Schools have closed based on these predictions, and all we got was rain. But the rule is that if it sticks to the ground, school is canceled. It would be a great excuse to get the day off. People rush to the grocery store to buy milk and bread—I don't know why, but they do. When I was growing up here we used to get one or two big snowfalls a year, but there has not been any for the last few. Damn global warming. Macland: It's been so nice. I am of the firm belief that in February we get the day like cool autumn season in November…In February it's like a warm period that's been getting stronger and longer every year since my boyhood, and it gets defeated by the final blowing snowstorm of March at least once, but anyone can survive (生存)those snowstorms, since we all know they'll be gone in a few days. Now match each of the people (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement. Statements A. Future is bright. B. Man conquers nature. C. We can see the effect of the pollution on the climate. D. Human beings have to struggle hard against weather. E. The call of nature is there. F. He hates spring. G. Sometimes we worry too much about nothing. Note: there are two extra statements.

填空题Elizabeth Budy

填空题Sharon Brage: I was walking in the shopping center when a car went straight on and knocked me over. That's why I am in this hospital now. Although I was not in danger of life, yet the bones of both my legs are broken. Doctors say I might not be able to walk steadily afterwards. The driver was going too fast. High Street is a shopping centre, not a car racing place. There are old people and children crossing the street all the time. Cars should not be allowed into the shopping centre. Why should everybody suffer because a few selfish people are too lazy to walk to the shops?Jack Bream: Well, my sympathy to the lady who was hurt by my car in the shopping center. Yet what could I do? She stepped straight out of the shop and into the road without looking. I think she is lucky to be alive. I am actually a very careful driver and have never had any accident before. She should have used at least the zebra-crossing. I simply don't understand these ladies with many bags and parcels in their arms and walk on as if there were no cars at all. The police should stop people from walking on the road. Roads are for cars, not for people.George Forest: Accidents like this happen all the time. When people are shopping, they think about nothing else. They forget about road safety altogether. The drivers are just as bad. They become impatient with traffic jams and parking problems make them careless. There is only one way to prevent accidents here, and that's by banning cars from using High Street. This old town was built before the age of motor cars, so most of its streets are too narrow for heavy traffic. To protect the old buildings, we should build a by-pass to go around the shopping center and to divert the through traffic from it too. The situation in High Street calls for a special solution. Up until now, drivers have been allowed to come and go as they please. But every town needs traffic-free areas where people eau relax in peace and safety. Parks and shopping centers should be completely closed to all motor vehicles.Joe Dixion: These days everyone needs a car. It's the cheapest, fastest, most comfortable way to get around. It's especially convenient for shopping. Why wait in the rain for crowded buses and struggle with heavy parcels? Go by car. Of course there are traffic problems. That's not because there are too many cars but because there are too few roads. The Government should spend a little of our tax money on widening High Street, building new highways and more car parks in the downtown area.Herbert Rawlins: Drivers are selfish. They only think of their own comfort and forget about the suffering they cause, other people. They poison our air with waste and gas. They shatter our ears with noise They wreck our nerves with dangerous driving. Beautiful old buildings are torn down to make room for car parks. The countryside is scarred with new highways. The society sacrifices too much for cars. Who actually benefits? Nobody. Not even the drivers themselves, because they suffer from poor health through lack of physical exercises and nervous tension. Now match each of the persons (61 to 65 ) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements. Statements[A] Both the drivers and the people shopping should be responsible for the present situation in High Street.[B] Cars are the bad things which do not do any people any good.[C] What caused the accident and my suffering should be considered and dealt with to find a good solution.[D] Even a careful driver can get into an accident.[E] It is the Government who should take the responsibility not the people who have ears.[F] We shouldn't tear down our old buildings to build new roads. On the contrary, we should protect our old buildings.[G] People shopping around in High Street should be careful of the traffic and use the zebra-crossing.

填空题Arlene

填空题Grose My family wanted me home every other weekend, but I didn’t fit in there anymore. I’d argue constantly with my father, who still treated me like a child. My sister thought I was "uppity". Everyone was miserable, and I felt guilty. I decided to try treatment when my friends got fed up with me. They didn’t want to talk about my problems any more, but my problems were the major focus of my life. I needed someone who could help me understand what was happening to me. I’d seen ads for the counseling center and decided to give it a try. Kwanzaa When I took a part-time job and started living off-campus, my course work fell apart. I couldn’t concentrate or sleep, and I was always irritable and angry. When I began considering suicide, I knew I needed serious help. My resident advisor helped me call a local hotline where I got some good referrals. It was just a phone call, but it was the starting point that got me to the professional help I needed. Cheever I’ve always been anxious and never had much confidence. College was harder than I had expected, and then my parents divorced, which was traumatic for me. After a while, all I did was cry, sleep, and feel waves of panic. Actually while the depression was painful, working to get better has taught me a lot about who I am and how to stay healthy. Colbert After two years, of straight A’s, I couldn’t finish assignments anymore. I felt exhausted but couldn’t sleep, and drank a lot. I couldn’t enjoy life like my friends did anymore. I kept asking myself, "How could I be depressed? I’d had a normal family life, had been getting good grades, and hadn’t experienced any big trauma—where did my depression come from?" I knew I was depressed but thought I could pull out of it by myself. Unfortunately, friends reinforced this attitude by telling me to just toughen up. When that didn’t work, I felt even worse because I had "failed" again. When a friend suggested I talk to his counselor, I resisted at first. In my mind, professional help was for weak, messed up people. But then, I hit a bottom so low that I was willing to try anything. Getting treatment definitely changed my life for the better and helped me avoid flunking a semester. Fenty During a manic episode, I stayed awake for five days straight, but had a lot of energy. I spent my tuition money on a major shopping spree (购物狂欢) and long distance phone calls. I also played around with several guys that I hardly knew. At the time, I felt so great that I couldn’t see that there were serious problems with what I was doing. Now that I’ve gotten some treatment, I’m back from the edge, I know how to keep from being out there again. Now match each of the people (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement. Note: There are two extra statements. Statements[A] I never changed the opinion that professional help was for weak, messed up people.[B] Getting professional treatment can really pull me out of depression.[C] At first I didn’t know where my depression came from and resisted professional help.[D] When my friends were impatient with me, I decided to go to the counseling center for help.[E] A phone call got me to the professional help.[F] Everyone can be full of energy for five days without sleep.[G] I learned a lot about myself and to stay healthy through the way of working to get better.

填空题Directions: Read the text from a magazine article in which several people expressed their different opinions on the same issue. Please match the name of each person to one of the statements given below. Mary The new book about the death of Princess Diana is an insult to the French medical team that fought in vain to save her life last August. Everyone knows the situation was hopeless. It is tasteless for a couple of American journalists to criticize the heroic efforts of the French doctors and the British intelligence team that have had to pick up the pieces and deal with the aftermath of the accident. The authors can wheel out as many American Experts as they like, expound on as many theories as they like of how American procedures could have saved Diana's life, but this is just another tacky attempt to make money out of Diana's horrific death. Sian Given the extent of Diana's injuries, her death was inevitable. Stories about what might have happened only cause further pain for the families of those involved. Let the dead rest in peace. Andre The suggestion that Diana could have been saved if she had been transported more quickly to a hospital completely ignores the French system of medical rescue, which relies on fully equipped ambulances manned by a medical team under the supervision of a physician. It's easy to say afterward that Diana should have been sent to the hospital right away. But when a team arrives on the scene, it is impossible in most cases to tell immediately what is the best solution. The French approach is a reasonable one. Rob You provided a tantalizing excerpt from what is no doubt a fascinating book. The section on whether Diana could have lived debates relevant issues of delay in hospital treatment, given that Diana survived for nearly two hours. But what is surely more important is that if she, Dodi Fayed and the chauffeur had been wearing seat belts, they almost certainly would have survived and been able to throw some real light on exactly what happened in the accident. Now match each of the persons with the appropriate statement. Note: there is one extra statement. Statements A. No one can tell exactly what happened in the accident. B. I think we should not bring any more pains for the families concerned. C. I think some American reporters are just attempting to make more money out of her death. D. The French medical team is correct in treating Diana on the scene. E. Diana could have been saved if she was delivered to the hospital quickly.

填空题Article One: Eliminate as many sources of stress as you can. For example, if crowds bother you, go to the supermarket when you know the lines won't be too long. Try renting videotapes rather than going to crowded movie theaters. Clear up the clutter in your life by giving away or throwing away the things that get in your way. A garage sale is one effective way to do this. Article Two: If you are always running late, sit down with a pencil and paper and see how you are actually allot ting your time. Say it takes you 40 minutes to get to work. Are you leaving your house on time? You may be able to solve your problem(and de-stress your life a hit)just by being realistic. If you can't find the time for all the activities that are important to you, maybe you are trying to do too much. Again, make a list of what you do during the day and how much each activity takes.

填空题Amanda Adichie

填空题Margaret Stephens: On the job, we expect equal pay for equal work. Work gives a man identity and status. The same often holds true for a woman. We want our husbands take our jobs as seriously as they take their own. I worked as a nurse, he, a sales-execu- tive. I followed him around the country. Each time he was transferred, I found a new position for myself. It wasn"t until I received an award from my hospital that he realized how emotionally attached I was to my profession. Barbra Stern: Men and women solve problems in different ways. A man tends to be direct-line up all his options, select one, and then proceed. Women can be direct, too, but they may also choose a less obvious path. What women really want is for men to respect the special ways they have of analyzing problems. When men struggle with a problem, they stay right with it, but often getting more and more upset. Women are more likely to simply let problems solve themselves. Cindy Rodgers: Men tend to be romantic, often falling in love more quickly than women, who tend to focus on practical considerations in choosing a mate and look for long-term qualities in a partner. Far more than men, they allow their heads to control their hearts. Even though women may ache for love, they carry around an inner evaluator who asks, "Can I count on this man?" So any man who hopes to sweep a woman off her feet had better lengthen his timetable Nora Kent: Men are often more uncomfortable than women about being alone and tend to get bored more easily. Some men want to control their wives and they get anxious when their wives are off on their own, beyond reach. Women need "down time" to shop, read, recharge batteries, and a man shouldn"t feel hurt if his spouse doesn"t want to spend every free minute with him. When a woman takes time to be alone, she"s expressing a need to be autonomous. Jessica Vicino: A woman wants most everything a man wants: success, power, status, money, love, marriage, children, happiness and fulfillment. Few women relish being a mother, secretary or general picker upper for their husbands. A woman wants the man in her life to be a true equal, someone who respects her strengths, treats her weakness with kindness. In short, she wants a friend, a lover and a partner who understands her. Now match each of the persons to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements. Statements A．Women don"t fall in love as easily as men do. B．Women need sympathy on the job. C．Sometimes, a woman needs to be alone. D．A woman wants to be friends with her husband. E．Men are less serious about their work than women. F．Women solve problems differently from men. G．Men should take their wives" work as seriously as theirs.
