单选题 Cara Lang is 13. She lives in Boston, Massachusetts, in the US Last Thursday, she didn't go to school. She went to work with her father instead. Every year, on the fourth Thursday in April, millions of young girls go to work. This is Take Our Daughters to Work Day. The girls are between the ages of 9 and 15. They spend the day at work with an adult, usually a mother, father, aunt, or uncle. They go to offices, police stations, laboratories, and other places where their parents or other family members work. Next year, the day will include sons, too. The Ms. Foundation, an organization for women, started the program about ten years ago. In the US, many women work outside the home. The Ms. Foundation wanted girls to find out about many different kinds of jobs. Then, when the girls grow up, they can choose a job they like. Cara's father is a film director. Cara says,' It was very exciting for me to go to the studio with my dad. I saw a lot of people doing different jobs. ' Many businesses have special activities for girls on this day. Last year, Cara went to work with her aunt at the University of Massachusetts. In the engineering department, the girls learned to build a bridge with toothpicks and candy. In the chemistry department, they learned to use scales. They learned about many other kinds of jobs, too. Right now, Cara does not know what job she will have when she grows up. But because of Take Our Daughters to Work Day, she knows she has many choices.

单选题 Ann Curry is a famous news presenter of the NBC News 'Today' show. When she was 15 she happened to walk into a bookstore in her hometown and began looking at the books on the shelves. The man behind the counter, Mac McCauley, asked if she'd like a job. She needed to start saving for college, so she said yes. One day a woman came into the bookstore and asked Ann for books on cancer (癌症). The woman seemed anxious. Ann showed her practically everything they had and found other books they could order. The woman left the store less worried, and Ann has always remembered the pride she felt in having helped her customer. Years later, as a television reporter in Los Angeles, Ann heard about a child who was born with problems with his fingers and his hand. His family could not afford a surgical (外科的) operation, and the boy lived in shame, hiding his hand in his pocket all the time. Ann persuaded her boss to let her do the story. After the story was broadcast, a doctor and a nurse called, offering to perform the surgical operation for free. Ann visited the boy in the recovery room after the operation. The first thing he did was to hold up his repaired hand and say, 'Thank you.' What a sweet sense of satisfaction Ann Curry felt! At McCauley's bookstore, Ann always sensed she was working for the customers, not the store. Today it's the same. NBC News pays her, but she feels as if she works for the people who watch the programs, helping them make sense of the world.

单选题 Hawthorne differed from other writers ______ he saw the potential consequences of all decisions resulting in either regeneration or punishment.

单选题 Our teacher had us ______ a report on our investigation of the case.

单选题 The law is a great many of rules, showing when and how far a man is likely to be punished, or to be made to hand over money or property to his neighbors, and so forth. These rules are contained (包含) in books. A lawyer learns them mainly by reading books. He begins by doing little else than read, and after he has prepared himself by, say, three years' study to practice, still, all his lifelong and almost every day, he will be looking into books to read a little more than he already knows about some new questions which he has to answer. The power to use books, then, is a talent (天资) which he would be (将要成为的) lawyer ought to have. He ought to be very flexible (灵活的) and fine to make it easy for him to collect ideas from printed words. He ought to be ready in finding what a book contains, and something of an instinct (本能) for where to look for what he wants. But although this is the power of which he will first feel the need, it is not the most important. A lawyer does not study law to recite; he studies it to use it and act upon the rules, which he has learned in real life. His business is to try cases in court and to advise men what to do in order to keep out or get out of trouble. He studies his books in order to advise and to try his eases in the right way.

单选题 Every morning, kids from a local high school are working hard. They are making and selling special coffee at a coffee café. They are also making a lot of money. These students can make up to twelve hundred dollars a day. They are selling their special coffee to airplane passengers. After the students get paid, the rest of the money goes to helping a local youth project. These high school students use a space in the Oakland airport. It is usually very crowded. Many people who fly on the planes like to drink the special coffee. One customer thinks that the coffee costs a lot but it is good and worth it. Most customers are pleasant but some are unhappy. They do not like it if the coffee care is not open for business. The students earn $6.10 an hour plus tips. They also get school credit while they learn how to run a business. Many of the students enjoy the work although it took some time to learn how to do it. They have to learn how to steam milk, load the pots, and add flavor. It takes some skill and sometimes mistakes are made. The most common mistake is forgetting to add the coffee.

单选题 What will happen to Jim if his parents______ ?

单选题

单选题 A woman was in a hurry to go to the airport. She told the cab driver to drive quickly. She was so absorbed in her own thoughts that she was not aware they were going by a different route. Suddenly, a man got inside the cab. He took her handbag where she had placed her visa, passport, and all her money for the trip. The driver, who was in cahoots with the robber, left her in the middle of that dark street. She cursed the world for being so mean to her, and thought how unlucky she was in that situation. That very same night, she heard some shocking news. Tears flowed down her face. Flight 230, which was the plane that she was supposed to have boarded, had crashed. If she had not lost her precious belongings, she could have lost something far more important—her life. Sometimes bad things really happen. We lose money, fail our exams, or are rejected by others. There are times when nothing seems to go our way. So what should we do about it? Should we be disappointed? The answer is a resounding 'No!' We must get rid of all these frustrations and start all over again in the consistent faith that we will get what we deserve. Don't waste your time and energy on things that can't be changed. Continuous worrying will only affect your health and you'll be doing much more damage than what was previously done. Live one day at a time, we sometimes subject ourselves to unnecessary emotional trouble. We ask ourselves: 'What if I don't get this done in time?' or 'What if my family leaves me and I've got no one else to turn to?' Live for the moment. Do what must be clone for the present and the future will turn out just fine. Believe me. And believe in yourself. As Captain Planet always says: 'The power is yours!'

单选题

单选题 Have you ever been startled by a loud noise or by someone appearing suddenly behind you on dark night or by a snake in the grass? Do you remember the sudden, tight feeling in your chest, the way your heart started go pound, the way you seemed to breathe more rapidly? Such reactions occurred because you were frightened. Your brain sent a signal to the special gland (腺) in your body caned the adrenal (肾上的) gland. Other parts of your body were involved, too, but the adrenal gland has a very special function. The adrenal gland is located on top of your kidney. Since you have two kidneys. You also have two adrenal glands. Each adrenal gland is divided into two parts: a cortex (外皮) and a medulla (髓质). The cortex forms the outer shell; the medulla forms the central core. Both the cortex and the medulla secrete (分泌) hormones, but they have different functions. The cortex produces more than forty different chemical compounds and hormones. All these things are essential to sustain life. The medulla secretes adrenalin (also called epinephrine, the hormone that prepares the body for emergencies.) When you are suddenly faced with a dangerous or stressful situation, part of your brain instantly sends a signal to the adrenal gland, and all sorts of things begin to your body. The medulla releases an extra amount of adrenalin into the bloodstream. The adrenalin is carried rapidly throughout the body, stimulating other glands and systems.

单选题

单选题 This was no ordinary class. The students who came together were all science or engineering professors at Cornell University. They had interrupted their research to accept an invitation to take part in an unusual experiment: 'an interesting week of poetry.' This class was part of a study to answer the questions: Why is science difficult for many nonscience students? What can teachers learn about teaching if they take a class that is not in their field? The students in the poetry class listened to lectures and took notes. They had reading tasks and had to write three short papers. All students noticed one thing—the importance of spoken words. In science and engineering classes, the instructors put tables and drawings on the blackboard. But in this poetry class, the instructors just talked. They didn't write anything on the board. The scientists and engineers noticed one similarity between science and poetry. In both subjects, students need to find layers (层次) of meaning. Some layers are simple, clear, and on the surface; other layers are deeper and more difficult. This search for different levels of meaning doesn't happen much in undergraduate (本科) science classes, but it is important later, in graduate school. And it is always important in humanities (人文科学). Both the poetry instructors and their students learned something about teaching from this experience. One poetry instructor, for example, now sees the importance of using careful, clear definitions (定义) when he explains a poem. He also plans to be more informative as he teaches. Most of the scientists agreed on several points. First, humanities classes might help science students to see patterns and decide which information is important. Second, the poetry class was fun. One engineer decided, 'We need to change the way we teach engineering to make it an enjoyable experience for students.' But perhaps the most important result of the experience was this: All of the professors began to think about how they teach and how they can teach better.
