Have you ever bought something just because the salesman talked you into it? Are you afraid to ask a boy (girl) for a date? Many people are afraid to assert themselves (insist upon their own rights)．Dr．Robert Alberti, author of Stand Up' Speak Out, and Talk Back, thinks it's because their self-esteem (自尊) is low．"Our whole set-up makes people doubt themselves," says Alberti. "There's always a 'superior' around—a parent, a teacher, a boss—who 'knows better'．" But Alberti and other scientists are doing something to help people to assert themselves. They offer "assertiveness training" courses (AT). In the AT courses people learn that they have a right to be themselves. They learn to speak out and feel good about doing so. They learn to be aggressive (敢闯的,有闯劲儿的)without hurting other people. In one way, learning to speak out is to overcome fear. A group taking an AT course will help the timid person to lose his fear. But AT uses an even stronger motive—the need to share. The timid person speaks out in the group because he wants to tell how he feels. AT says you can get to feel good about yourself. And once you do, you can learn to speak out.

单选题{{B}}E{{/B}} You must have been troubled by when to say "I love you" because it is one of the greatest puzzles in our life. "A really good relationship should be about being fair and being equal", says psychologist Sidney Crown. "But love is seldom equal." All relationships go through power struggles but, he says, if a love imbalance continues for years, the rot will set in. In love, at least, the silent, withholding type is not always the most powerful. "The strongest one in a relationship is often the person who feels confident enough to talk about their feelings", says educational psychologist Ingrid Collins. "In fact, the person who says 'I love you' first may also be the one who says 'I'm bored with you' first. "Hall believes that much depends on how "I love you" is said and the motivation of the person saying it. "Is it said when they're drank? By saying 'I love you', they really saying 'Do you love me?' If so, wouldn't it just be more honest to say that,". Collins agrees that intention is everything. "It' s not what is said, but how it's said. What it comes down to is the sincerity of the speaker."

单选题Thousands of years ago man used handy rocks for his surgical operations. Later he used sharp bones or horns, metal knives and more recently, rubber and plastic. In the 1960s a new tool was developed, one which was, first of all, to be of great practical use to the armed forces and industry, but which was also to revolutionize the art and science of surgery. The tool is the laser and it is being used by more and more surgeons all over the world. As we all know, light is hot, and any source of light will give warmth. But light is usually spread out over a wide area. The light in a laser beam, however, is concentrated. This means that a light with no more power than that produced by an ordinary electric light bulb becomes intensely strong as it is concentrated to a pinpoint-sized beam. Experiments with these pinpoint beams showed researchers that different energy sources produce beams that have a particular effect on certain living cells. It is now possible for eye surgeons to operate on the back of human eye without harming the front of the eye, simply by passing a laser beam right through the eye-ball. Operations which once left patients exhausted and in need of long period of recovery time now leave them feeling relaxed and comfortable. The rapid development of laser techniques in the past ten years has made it clear that the future is likely to be very exciting. Perhaps some cancers will be treated with laser in a way that makes surgery not only safer but also more effective.

单选题{{B}}C{{/B}} Normally a student must attend a certain number of courses in order to graduate, and each course he attends gives him a credit which he may count towards a degree. In many American universities the total work for a degree consists of thirty-six courses each lasting for one semester. A typical course consists of three classes per week for fifteen weeks; while attending a university a student will probably attend four or five courses during each semester. Normally a student would expect to take four years attending two semesters each year. It is possible to spread the period of work for the degree over a longer period. It is also possible for a student to move between one university and another during his degree course, though this is not in fact done as a regular practice. For every course, a student is given a grade, which is recorded, and the record is available for the student to show to possible future employers. All this puts a constant pressure and strain of work on him, but in spite of this some students still find time for great activity in student affairs. Elections to positions in student organizations arouse much enthusiasm. The effective work of maintaining discipline is usually performed by students who advise the academic authorities. A student who is thought to have broken the rules, should appear before a student court. With the enormous numbers of students, the operation of the system does involve a certain amount of activity. A student who has held one of these positions of authority is much respected and it will be of benefit to him later in his career.

单选题"New York City is not America. " That's what American friends are sure to you when you arrive. "You must see Boston, visit Niagara Falls, go to Virginia, fly down to Florida, and so on; but first, of course, you will want. to see-New York. It is not the capital city of the United States(that is Washington, D.C. , where the Preisdent lives) or even the capital city of New York State(that is Albany), but many people call it 'the greatest city on earth'." The five parts, or boroughs, of New York City are Manhattan, Queen, Bronz, Richmond and Brooklyn. Although Manhattan is not all of New York, it is the heart of the city. It is an island, which is only about 13 miles long and 2 miles wide. From the air its shape looks like a long finger,and from the sea it's just like the picture we all know. Those tall, straight buildings-the skyscrapers-packed so close together on that island of rock are sometimes seen in the distance through a veil of early morning mist. You have imagined it so often that now it's difficult to believe this beautiful sight is real, and unless your heart is as hard as stone, excitement will make it beat a little faster. Perhaps "greatest", "tallest", "longest", "biggest", "brightest", are words you will find most often in the city guide books.

单选题 Sometime in the next century, the familiar early newspaper on the front gate will disappear. And instead of reading your newspaper, it will read to you. You'll get up and turn on the computer newspaper just like switching on TV. An electronic voice will distribute stories about the latest events, guided by a program that selects the type of news you want. You'll even get to choose the kind of voice you want to hear. Want more information on the brief story? A simple touch makes the entire text appear. Save it in your own personal computer if you like. These are among the predictions (预测) from communication experts working on the newspapers of the future. Pictured as part of broader home based media and entertainment systems, computer newspapers would unite print and broadcast reporting, offering news and analysis with video images of news events. Most of the technology is available now, but convincing (说服) more people that they don't need paper to read a newspaper is the next step. But resistance to computer newspaper may be stronger from within journalism. Since it is such a cultural change, it may be that the present generation of journalists and publishers will have to die off before the next generation realizes that the newspaper industry is no longer a newspaper industry. Technology is making the end of traditional newspapers unavoidable. Despite technological advances, it could take decades to replace newsprint with computer screens. It might take 30 to 40 years to complete the changeover because people need to buy computers and because newspapers have established financial (财经的) interests in the paper industry.
