填空题 {{B}}Sharon Brage:{{/B}} 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?{{B}}Jack Bream:{{/B}} 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.{{B}}George Forest:{{/B}} 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.{{B}}Joe Dixion:{{/B}} 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.{{B}}Herbert Rawlins:{{/B}} 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. {{B}}Now match each of the persons (61 to 65 ) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements. Statements{{/B}}[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 {{B}}Samuel:{{/B}} The criticism that what students learn today is not fit for modern society is completely wrong because education can never be judged only from the point of view of how useful the subjects are when students leave school. We ought to evaluate education in terms of how much the students enjoy those subjects and how much they mean to those students. Rather than being trained to be practical, students should be encouraged to do things for their own sake, and study what they are interested in.{{B}}Matthew:{{/B}} Many people give out proposals of how to improve education and some suggest raising the salaries of teachers mid professors. Of course ,this is significant to education. However, increasing the salary of teachers is just one method to improve education. It won't be effective without the cooperation of the other important factors, such as students' love of knowledge and reading. Even if the teachers are devoted, it will make no sense if the students are not willing to learn.{{B}}Cheney:{{/B}} I think it's a great disgrace people don't learn anything today. You find people who can't read properly, can't even write their names and don't know what two and two is without the help of a calculator. I think it's downright shameful. I remember when I was young you went to school to learn. You did as you were told and showed respect to your teachers. Now you find that students show no interest in anything. No wonder they don't learn anything.{{B}}Aimee:{{/B}} Well, people have different opinions on this, but I think it is probably wrong to imagine that there was some golden age in the past when everything was perfect. It all depends, of course, on what you evaluate and how you evaluate it. It may surprise some people that there has not been an obvious and remarkable increase in the standard of education, considering the vast amounts of money spent in this area by successive governments in recent years. But unfortunately, most improvements in education are hard to measure.{{B}}Jackson:{{/B}} Well, in my opinion, it's all these modern methods that are the problem. In the old days you sat in rows at desks and you did as you were told. You knew that you had to do and you did it — and you kept quiet. Nowadays, good god, the noise in most schools is unbearable especially primary schools. The children walk around — do more or less what they want to as far as I can see. The teacher just sits there or wanders around with them, talking to them. Informal teaching they call it. Discover methods. Sounds more like a recipe for discovering disaster to me.{{I}} Now match each of the persons (61 to 65 ) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements.{{/I}}{{B}} Statements{{/B}}[A] Education is developing gradually.[B] Students should get what they need or want from education.[C] Education standards are higher than in tile past.[D] Education covers both teaching and learning.[E] Many students are spoilt by our present-day education system.[F] Schools should lay emphasis on practical skills.[G] Educational standards are on the decline.

填空题P. Howard: Every day thousands of people in Asia and Africa die of starvation. Millions more suffer from malnutrition and disease. All this misery could be prevented if the rich nations kept their promise to provide one per-cent of their annual Gross National Product in assistance to developing countries. Last year they gave on average less than 0.4%. That isn't much, is it? Obviously they could have give more than that, and they certainly should have played a more important role in doing this.J. Adams: There are poor people in our own country. We should take care of them before we start giving money to foreigners. In this city we have 20,000 home-less families, 4,000 sick or disabled people. There is no point in squander our precious money. Let the rich princes and the corrupt dictators of Africa take care of their own people. It's nothing to do with us. Why should we be responsible for their wrongdoing? Why should we be supposed to look after their people?D. Graham: A few years ago there was a terrible famine in the countries bordering the Sahara Desert. Thousands of people died. They could have been saved if a few dams had been built to collect water during the raining season. They've been asking for help for years, but they never got it. Why is it that the rich countries can afford to develop supersonic aircraft, space shuttles and rockets and nuclear weapons powerful enough to destroy the whole world, and yet they can't afford to build a few dams that could save thousands of lives? I simply don't understand this. The developed countries throw away millions of money into their space projects, and they even grudged just a little money for the poor people. In America, people die of heart diseases from overeating. How call they imagine starvation? Most American dogs eat more and better than the children in Bangladesh. American farmers destroy surplus food in order to keep the prices high. Nobody will pay to send it to people who are dying of starvation. They just don't care. Why could things be so different for people in the developing countries? They are also human beings, aren't they?H. Wilson: I got what I have by hard work and sacrifice. It's about time the poor countries learned to do the same. They could build huge manufacturing industries if the people were prepared to work instead of begging. Their main problem is over-population. Whose fault is that? When beggars are allowed to have ten children, how can a poor country expect to develop? When you first have so many mouths to feed, how can you think of better housing and good education system. They have got too many problems.P. Mombo: For hundreds of years we were exploited by colonialism. Our men were taken as slaves, our natural resources were stolen, our industries were suppressed. As a result of these, Europe and North America became rich and we have nothing. Now it's time to repay the debt. We must be given money to build export industries and to develop our farms. We can take care of ourselves if we are given a fair chance. I have complete faith in my people. They are honest and hard working if only can they stand a chance to start. Now match each of the persons (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements. Statements[A] We were exploited in the past and now the rich nations should pay their debt.[B] People in the developing countries should build huge manufacturing industries.[C] People are getting too fat in America because they eat too much food and suffer from over-nutrition.[D] What we should consider first is our own problems at home.[E] The rich are getting richer and the poor poorer simply because the rich don't care about the poor.[F] The rich nations failed to keep their promise to give 1% of their annual Gross National Product in assistance to developing countries, causing serious problem there.[G] I made myself a success through hard work. Begging for money does not really help the poor countries.

Mark your answer on your ANSWER SHEET.Caryn Cook: My husband had lived 35 years before he met me and could hardly have lived another 35 without my help. I' d heard all the evidence linking weight and health. Poultry and fish become mainstays. I discovered unusual fresh fruits and vegetables, and tried new kinds of salads, fresh herbs. I sometimes dressed up raw or steamed vegetables with a low-calorie salad dressing or a low-fat yogurt.Joan Barron: My husband, five-foot-eleven mate weighed 238 pounds—well over what insurance charts recommend. Each meal I cook should include a selection from each of three groups: 1 ) fruits and vegetables; 2) animal foods and legumes (fish, poultry, meat, egg, cheese, milk, beans, etc. ); and 3) pasta and staples (potatoes, rice, bread, cereal, etc. )Aoya Bateman: I realized that I had been helping to overwork my husband's heart with steak, baked potatoes and pastry desserts. Most "junk food" (fried, sugary or over processed. and desserts are filled with calories that are fattening but have little or no nutritional value. A piece of candy may have the same 100 calories as a tablespoon of peanut butter, but it offers the body nothing but sugar—whereas peanut butter is high in nutrients.Betty Weiss: I did not just cut out foods because they were fattening. Instead, I serve them less frequently. I also decreased the serving size of fattening main dishes while increasing that of vegetables. And I would crush skinless chicken breasts to make them look bigger. To restrict portions without making your man feel cheated, serve meat by the slice.Margaret Stuller: Water aids digestion and has no calories. Many fruit juices can be very fattening. To get my husband to drink at least four eight-ounce glasses a day, I often serve him a combination of sparkling and plain water, or flavoring it with lime, orange or mint. Note: there are two extra statements.{{B}} Statements{{/B}}A. Exercise persistently.B. Encourage the drinking of water.C. Avoid empty calories.D. Encourage your husband to share the chores.E.

填空题Kenneth: Is this saying really true? I have experienced much pain, sadness and sufferings before I find true happiness. I believe it's true that we have to go through pain and suffering to be happy. I think everybody would agree that if we want something, we have to work for it. It feels good to look back at the things you've gone through when you finally got what you wanted. If we worked hard and achieve something, we feel happy.Andrea: Happiness for me is when I feel loved by those I love.., there arc a few persons who can make me feel high for days when they tell me sweet words, compliments, etc.., or just show they care about me as much as I do about them. Happiness is also when I don't worry, when I know that the persons I love are alive, healthy and ok. And it is when I have hope about something I wish to come true.., hope is important.Thomas: In a world like this, where there is no kind of' stability, no possibility of anything lasting, but where everything is thrown into a restless whirlpool of change, where everything hurries on, flies, and is maintained in the balance by a continual advancing and moving, it is impossible to imagine happiness. It cannot dwell where, as Plato says, continual Becoming and never Being is all that takes place.Robinson: I believe and agree that happiness is based on disposition on the position, it's internally based not external. It's how you look up on things, not how things is working on for you. Happiness is a gift, you must accept to receive it. It's a state or feelings of pride ,joy, contentment, love and the like or a combination of one or all of this feeling. Lastly, I believe it varies on each person receiving or experiencing it, depending on how they express, explain or realize the feelings of bappiness within them.Barbara: The rich are not likely to be happier than the middle income group or even those with very low incomes. People with college education are somewhat happier titan those who didn't graduate from high school, and it is believed that this is mainly because they have more opportunity to control their lives. Yet people with a high income and a college education may be less happy than those with the same income and no college education. Now match each of the persons (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements.Statements[A] Happiness is attained only when in a state of steadiness and stillness.[B] Happiness derives from your satisfaction in life.[C] Happiness is an attitude toward life and how you feel about life.[D] The more opportunities you can control your lives, the happier you may be.[E] No pains, no gains.[F] Happiness is achieved only when you are healthy.[G] You feel happy when you love and are loved.

They are forever consulting calorie charts, gazing at themselves in mirrors, and leaping on to weighing-machines in the bathroom. They spend a lifetime fighting a losing battle against spreading hips, protruding tummies and double chins. What a miserable lot dieters are!{{B}} Marlin:{{/B}} I began making some dietary and lifestyle changes during my second year of college and have been eating this way ever since. I like the way I feel when I don't eat animal foods so much more than the pleasure I used to get from eating them. I have much more energy; I need less sleep; I feel calmer; I can maintain an ideal body weight without worrying about how much I eat, and I can think more clearly.{{B}} Maggie:{{/B}} During my first year of college, I gained forty pounds when I began throwing the javelin. For the next twenty years, I carried all of this extra weight and kidded myself that I was in good shape since that's what I weighed in college. Now that I've lost ail that extra weight, I feel great! People say all the time, "Well, how do you live without eating cheeseburgers or this or that?" and I say, "You just don't. It's not even an option. It's not that hard once you get on it."{{B}} Belinda:{{/B}} If you are on a diet, you're always hungry, You can't be hungry and happy at the same time. All the horrible concoctions you eat instead of food leave you permanently dissatisfied. A complete food it may be, but not quite as complete as juicy steak. So at least three times a day you will be exposed to temptation. How miserable to watch others tucking into piles of mouth watering food while you tuck a water biscuit and sip unsweetened lemon juice!

填空题Taylor

填空题Timothy Constance: What the women I spoke with said was that they want a husband who is independent and dedicated to his career, but that he doesn't have to make a lot of money. The emphasis was always on finding a best friend — a soul mate — someone you could tell all your troubles to and who would be supportive. So it doesn't seem to be the case that these women were looking for super high-achieving men. Grise Levison: I think that for women, as well as for men, the standard for someone who you'd want to spend your life with depends much more today on emotional intimacy. It takes some trial and error and a pretty long and dedicated search to identify the kind of person who is emotionally matching you and who is able to communicate and listen to trouble talk. Marry Brown: In recent decades girls have been raised to be more competitive and stronger than they were in the past. Several women I talked to mentioned that in their life they felt that their intelligence or intellectual achievement seemed to work against them in their romantic relationships with men. However, most of the women I interviewed felt that there were some men "out there" who would be attracted to smart women. The problem was finding them. Donna Smith: I think, for the women I talked to, their ultimate sense of what they want in life includes family and children, but they aren't willing to think about the fact that they therefore will probably have to give up some of their own individual pursuits and career goals. I think the definition of success includes both love and work, and that the challenge is how to arrange that in a particular order. Elizabeth Budy: I think that people who have done at least some of the things that are essential for a wise judgment about a partner are more likely to eventually end up in a stable marriage. It's also true that they're likely to marry someone who is similar to them in education and earning power, which means that those marriages are likely to have more money in them. Statements[A] Career success is in fact not a disadvantage.[B] The ability to choose a right partner ensures a stable marriage.[C] How to balance career with family is key to success.[D] The essential part of marriage is the union of soul.[E] Finding an emotionally intimate mate isn't a piece of cake.[F] Career success ensures a solid marriage.[G] Social assistance is needed for today's single women.

填空题Stanley: The world"s energy resources are limited. Nobody knows how much fuel is left, but pessimistic forecasts say that there is only enough coal for 450 years, enough natural gas for 50 years and that oil might run out in 30 years. Obviously we have to do something, and we have to do it soon. Taylor: Fossil fuels (coal, oil and gas) are rapidly running out. The tragedy is that fossil fuels are far too valuable to waste on the production of electricity. Nuclear power is the only real alternative. We are getting some electricity from nuclear power stations already. If we invest in further research now, we"ll be ready to face the future. There"s been a lot of protest lately against nuclear power— some people will protest at anything— but nuclear power-stations are not as dangerous as some people say. It"s far more dangerous to work down a coal-mine. In many parts of the world where there are no fossil fuels, nuclear power is the only alternative. If you accept that we need electricity, then we will need nuclear energy. Orwell: I totally disagree with Taylor. Let"s first look at the facts. First, there is no perfect machine. I mean, why do planes crash? Machines crash. People make mistakes. What would happen if there were a serious nuclear accident? And an accident must be inevitable-sooner or later. Radioactivity causes cancer and may affect future generations. Next, nuclear waste. There is no technology for absolutely safe disposal. Some of this waste will remain active for thousands of years. Is that what you want to leave to your children? And their children"s children? Moore: I"d like to begin by agreeing with Orwell. We can develop alternative sources of power, and unless we try we"ll never succeed. Instead of burning fossil fuels we should be concentrating on more economic uses of electricity, because electricity can be produced from any sources of energy. If we didn"t waste so much energy, our resources would last longer. You can save more energy by conservation than you can produce for the same money. Unless we do research on solar energy, wind power, tidal power, etc, our fossil fuels will run out, and we"ll all freeze or starve to death. Don"t forget that energy from the sun, the waves and the wind lasts for ever. We really won"t survive unless we start working on cleaner, safer sources of energy. Bright: I don"t agree with some of the estimates of world energy reserves. More oil and gas is being discovered all the time. If we listened to the pessimists, none of us would sleep at night. In the short term, we must continue to rely on the fossil fuels— oil, coal and gas. But we must also look to the future. Our policy must be flexible. Unless we thought new research was necessary, we wouldn"t be spending money on it. The big question is where to spend the money— on conservation of present resources or on research into new forms of power. Now match each of the people (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements. Statements A. Nuclear power should he the safest power to resort to. B. Terrorists could hold the nation to ransom if they captured a reactor. C. Something must be done to deal with the approaching energy crisis. D. It is more important to save energy by conservation than to produce energy with the same amount of money. E. The world will not run out of energy resources. There will always be some alternatives. F. Nuclear power is dangerous in its production and disposal. G. Nuclear power is the only alternative in order to conserve fossil fuel.

填空题Karia Brown

填空题Emily M. Brown Hurt and humiliated, betrayed partners feel justified in taking immediate action. But certain actions cannot be undone. People make a mistake by rushing out to get a divorce lawyer or telling their friends about the disloyalty. For example, if you tell your family about your partner's disloyalty and you remain together, you'll face a double hurdle: mending your marital relationship and the relationship between your partner and your family, who will make your partner angry for hurting you. During this phase I advise the betrayed partner to slow down and keep from overreacting. If you want to save your marriage, your best move is to wait for your head to clear. Shirley Zussman Other betrayed partners established a position of moral superiority. Some wives bring up their husband's affair ten years after it's over. They use the affair as a weapon for self- justification. The idea is: "This is such a bad person, I'm a saint to live with him." Unfortunately, this attitude makes it impossible to repair your relationship and move on. Park Ridge As a woman slid into the passenger side of her husband's car, she discovered in the seat a bottle of pills prescribed to another woman. Turning to her husband of 30 years, she asked, "What's this? I don't know." he muttered. Eventually, he confessed that he was involved with the stranger. The wife was hurt, and in the following weeks demanded to know details of his love affair: how he had met the woman, where they had made love, what girls he had given her. He finally answered all her questions truthfully. At first I held back because I was afraid of hurting her. But when I got caught in a lie, it made everything worse. Dr. Pittman Before healing can occur, the betrayer must end the affair. For some this is extremely difficult, for an affair gives them an emotional high and seems to be a quick fix for their problems. Hot, forbidden sex is sex without responsibility. You change partners instead of changing life circumstances. Such sex is never a long-term cure. Idealized, romantic affairs are based on illusion rather than reality, and illusion is difficult to maintain. The betrayer can imagine his lover has all the qualities his partner lacks. But true intimacy is based on genuine mutual understanding and the ability to acknowledge and accept each other's flaws and weakness. Seifer Most couples are hurt by disloyalty. As a result, no healing can take place until you acknowledge your wrongdoing and ask for forgiveness. Otherwise, your partner will remain angry--and suspect that you will start again. Admitting guilt can be particularly difficult for betrayers who blame their partners for their disloyalty. But having an affair has little to do with how good your marriage or sex life is. A person can't be driven to have an affair. Pointing the finger at your partner may help relieve your own guilt, but it will cause even more trouble on your marriage. By working through the problems that cause the disloyalty, you can save your relationship. Now match each of the persons (16 to 20) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements.A. Keep secrets.B. Face reality.C. Stop fighting fire with fire.D. Avoid doing something abrupt.E. Expect things to be the same.F. Tell the truth.G. Admit you were wron

Those staff who appear in much less than professional dressing are asked if their mother and father would think appropriate a picture of them dressed in what they believe is "OK" for work. If they say "yes", she then takes a picture and asks them to send it home. Having a camera helps. Having a visual proof drives her message home. {{B}}Catherine: {{/B}} I think it really boils down to a moral question. Is it morally "right" to use our body to move ahead in business? Or should we instead emphasize intelligence, capabilities, creative and independent thought, professionalism, and other such qualities which many, many women possess, but whom are routinely neglected for promotions and are never glorified or emphasized in our culture. It's okay to be a tough, competent lawyer like Ally Mcbeai, but you won't get noticed unless you look good in really short skirts. Having a nice body is a plus, but I think that there are tons and tons of styles of dress which can show off a nice body in a professional way. {{B}}Roger: {{/B}} A lot of employees have finally gotten the message about inappropriate (不合适的) dress-down items such as jeans, shorts, revealing tops, etc. They are starting to wear the proper dress-down clothes.

填空题Paula: The future is determined by the actions of the present day. The responsibility we have for the future begins when we recognize that we ourselves create the future-that the future is not something imposed upon us by fate or other forces beyond our control. We ourselves build the future both through what we do and what we do not do. Mrs. John: The future will see more unbelievable things. In the future, people will be able to predict their performance from the strength of the brain's electrical activity. Doctor Kramer has found that the strength of the brain's electrical activity can be measured through the scalp (头皮). Bosses could measure brain activity through the scalp and tell whether a worker is performing well, working hard, or too tired to do the job properly. Mary: In the new century, things around us will be more fascinating. The chemical element in the heart is said to increase your desire for fat, when is stimulated. This means that disturbances of this chemical gelatin can lead to overeating.

填空题Jodie Morse

填空题Linda My husband weighed 275 pounds. He used to skip breakfast, and he didn"t eat all that much for dinner. So I once wondered why he was getting so big. Then I found out he was stopping to buy a dozen chocolate-covered doughnuts each morning. And you know how I found out? He was eating them while driving, so he wouldn"t have to share them at work. While chasing one that roiled across the front seat, he ran into a telephone pole. Emily Two years ago, I knew my husband"s health was at risk because of all the weight he had picked up since we"d been married. But he wasn"t doing anything about it. Then I went to a doctor"s office and I followed his advice and started talking about food to my husband-what was good, what was bad-as if it was a new discovery. I didn"t lecture my husband about the evils of being overweight, didn"t try to threaten him by saying if he didn"t lose weight his blood pressure could shoot sky-high and he might have a heart attack. Instead, I talked about how well he"d look in new clothes, how he" d probably do better on the job (he was a salesman), to ask questions. After a few months, he"d lost 20 pounds. John I once kept a list of everything I ate one week, just to show my wife was wrong about where I was picking up extra pounds. When I studied my list, I wondered how I found time to do any work, I was eating so much. There"s nothing like seeing it in black and white to prove you"re wrong. Jane Scott When I found my husband had weight problem, I was determined to take some measures. I made sure I needed something from the store three mornings a week, and then I told my husband I didn"t want to walk there alone-it was about a quarter of a mile each way-and I"d always insist on walking. He breathed hard at first, but gradually got used to it, and we started making a circle around the neighborhood at night, too, with the dog. That was three years ago, and now I can"t keep him still. The walking got him used to using his body again, and he was happy to find it still worked pretty well. Ted Men tend to think less about the costs of excess pounds than women do. Men often seem blind to the possibility that a beer belly is causing them to look unattractive to their mates, holding them back in their careers and killing them before their time. Also, many men feel self-conscious going to a diet center-especially if most of the group is female. Diets are perceived to be of women"s concern, or an admission of weakness. There are even men who would rather blow up like a blimp before they admit to other men-or themselves-that they need to lose weight. Now match each of the persons with the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements. Statements A. The heavier, the merrier. B. Some form of physical exercise has to play a part in men"s weight-loss program. C. Attention should be paid to eating patterns. D. Men"s attitudes are quite different from women"s. E. Gaining weight has nothing to do with health. F. Your educational role sometimes has to be more subtle. G. Facts are indisputable.
