单选题Honore de Balzac, the famous writer, was a man of many accomplishments (才能). In his own opinion, one of his main accomplishments was his outstanding ability as a student of handwriting. He had spent much time on this subject, and he often told his friends that he could accurately (准确的) describe a person's character from a sample of that person's handwriting. One day, a woman friend brought him a sample of a boy's handwriting. She said that she wanted to know what Balzac thought of the boy's character. Balzac studied the handwriting carefully for a few minutes. Then he looked at the woman strangely. The woman, however, told him that the boy was no relative of hers and that he could tell her the truth. "Good!" said Balzac, "Then let me speak frankly (坦率地)." He then went on to say that he thought the boy was a careless and lazy person. He added that the boy should be watched carefully, otherwise, he would grow up to bring disgrace (耻辱) upon his family. "Isn't that strange?" said the woman, smiling. "Because this happens to be a page from your own copybook, which you yourself used when you were a boy./

单选题Have you ever noticed advertisements (广告) which say "Learn a foreign language in 6 weeks, or your money back, From the first day your pronunciation will be excellent. Just send..." and so on? Of course, it never happens quite like that. The only language that is easy to learn is the mother tongue. And think how much practice that gets. Before the Second World War people usually learnt a foreign language in order to read the literature (文学) of the country. Now speaking the foreign language is what most people want. Every year many millions of people start learning one. How do they do it? Some people try at home, with hooks and records or tapes; some use radio or television programmes; others go to evening classes. If they use the language only 2 or 3 times a week, learning it will take a long time, like language learning at school. A few people try to learn a language more quickly by studying for 6 or more hours a day. It is clearly easier to learn the language in the country where it is spoken. However, most people cannot afford this, and for many it is not necessary. They need the language in order to do their work better. For ex ample, scientists and doctors chiefly need to be able to read books and reports in the foreign language. Whether the language is learnt quickly or slowly, it is hard work. Machines and good books will help, but they cannot do the student's work for him.
单选题People in the United States honor their parents with two special days: Mother's Day, on the second Sunday in May, and Father's Day on the third Sunday in June. These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens. They give love and care. These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mother's Day people wear carnations (康乃馨). A red one symbolizes a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is dead. Many people attend religious services to honor parents. It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery (墓地). These days families get together at home, as well as in restaurants. They often have outdoor barbecues for Father's Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories. Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Children make them in school. Many people make their own presents. These are valued more than the ones bought in stores. It is not the value of the gift that is important, but it is" the thought that counts". Greeting card stores, florists, candy makers, bakeries, telephone companies, and other stores do a lot of business during these holidays.

单选题Coloring is not my favorite thing to do, thought Jon. Mrs. Johnson had passed out a picture of a lion to color for the class animal report. "I want to draw something, not color in something somebody else drew," Jan whispered to himself. Jon was a good artist. Ever since he was able to hold a pencil, he had been drawing whatever he saw. In art class, the kids would stand behind Jon, watching the magical motions he made with his pencil. Jon was able to imagine the whole picture before he started to draw. Sometimes he would start with a very small detail, and then develop the rest of the drawing. Mrs. Johnson's class was studying animals. Each student had to do a report on an animal and color a picture. Most of the kids enjoyed this, and they were happily picking their brown and yellow crayons for the lion's mane. Perhaps I can do a zebra, thought Jon. That's what I would rather do. I can do the lion later. He turned his paper over and started to draw the fine outline of the zebra's body, adding more and more detail until the picture was done. Mrs. Johnson was walking around the room. Jon heard her footsteps get closer to his desk and then stop. He slowly looked up at her, expecting a disapproving look. Jon usually followed directions. He had an uneasy feeling as she glanced at his paper. "Jon, what is this?" inquired Mrs. Johnson: "It's a picture of a zebra," Jon answered faintly. Jon was trying to think of what to tell his teacher. His thoughts were interrupted. "Class, please stop what you are doing," said Mrs. Johnson as she picked up Jon's paper. Jon slowly slid down in his seat. He was worried. She is going to tell the whole class I didn't follow directions, thought Jon. "Jon has a very interesting picture he has drawn," Mrs. Johnson told the class, with excitement in her voice. "It is of a zebra." To Jon, she said, "Jon, I had no idea you were such a great artist. This is wonderful!" Jon let out a big sigh of relief as he watched Mrs. Johnson hang the picture of the zebra on the wall. It looked like he wasn't in trouble, after all.
