One silly question I simply can't stand is "How do you feel?". Usually the

One silly question I simply can't stand is "How do you feel？". Usually the question is asked of a man in action --- a man on the go, walking along the street, or busily working at his desk. So what do you expect him to say？ He'll probably say, "Fine, I'm all right," but "you've put a bug in his ear" -- maybe now he's not sure. If you are a good friend, you may have seen something in his face, or his walk, that he overlooked that morning. It starts him worrying a little. First thing you know, he looks in a mirror to see if everything is all right, while you go merrily on your way asking someone else, "How do you feel？"

Every question has its time and place. It's perfectly acceptable, for instance, to ask "How do you feel？" if you're visiting a close friend in the hospital, But if the fellow is walking on both legs, hurrying to make a train, or sitting at his desk working, it's no time to ask him that silly question.When George Bernard Shaw, the famous writer of plays was in his eighties, someone asked him "How do you feel？" Shaw put him in his place. "When you reach my age," he said, "either you feel all right or you're dead."

1.According to the writer, greetings, such as "How do you feel？" ____.

A、show one's consideration for others

B、are a good way to make friends

C、are proper to ask a man in action

D、generally make one feel uneasy

2.The question "How do you feel？" seems to be correct and suitable when asked of ____.

A、a man working at his desk

B、a person having lost a close friend

C、a stranger who looks somewhat worried

D、a friend who is ill

3.The writer seems to feel that a busy man should ____.

A、be praised for his efforts

B、never be asked any question

C、not be bothered

D、be discouraged from working so hard

4.George Bernard Shaw's reply in the passage shows his ____.

A、cheerfulness

B、cleverness

C、ability

D、politeness

5.“You've put a bug in his ear ”means that you've ____.

A、made him laugh

B、shown concern for him

C、made fun of him

D、given him some kind of warning

What is happening in our weather? Of course we have never been able to predict exactly w

What is happening in our weather？ Of course we have never been able to predict exactly what the weather will be like, but now strange weather patterns are seriously affecting many parts of the world. For example, droughts (旱灾) in Mexico and Brazil have recently caused great crop losses and in the United States they have even had to make their own snow for the Winter Olympics!

Scientists have found that the cause of this strange weather is that the air circulation pattern has changed and is now more variable than earlier in the twentieth century. This means that different regions of the world get long spells (持续时间) of the same type of weather, whether hot , cold, wet or windy.

However, weather experts have different views about why this has happened. One theory is that the temperature of the sea has increased. Another is that man’s activities on earth have disturbed the balance of nature.

Whatever the cause, the economics of many countries in the world depend upon the weather. And until we know exactly what effect man’s activities are having on the weather, we cannot make changes which might help. So for the moment the only answer is …wait and see!

26. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the first paragraph？

A. We have never predicted the weather.

B. Man is now able to control the weather.

C. Strange weather has appeared only in some North American countries.

D. It has always been impossible for man to predict the weather accurately.

27. The strange weather patterns on the earth can he best described as ________.

A. steady and balanced C. likely to cause serious disasters

B. changeable but predictable D. unpredictable but favorable to man

28. The word “affecting” in Paragraph 1 can be replaced by ________.

A. yielding good crops in C. causing few losses in

B. having harmful effects on D. producing desired effects on

29. We can learn from Paragraph 2 that ________.

A. weather patterns are similar in different regions of the world

B. the air circulation pattern remains unchanged in the last century

C. our weather depends on the changes in the air circulation pattern

D. it is possible to predict weather patterns over a long period of time

30. It can be learned from this passage that ________.

A. scientists have similar opinions about the changing weather

B. no one is sure about the cause of the changing weather

C. cutting down forests has affected the climate

D. the weather will become worse in the future

My father was 17 when he left the farm in Cameron,N.C., and set off for Baltimore to

apply for a job at the Martin Aircraft Company. When asked what he wanted to do, he said,"Everything." He explained that his goal was to learn every job in the factory. He’d like to go to a department and find out what was done there. When the supervisor determined his work was as good as anyone else’s, he’d want to go to a different department and start over. The personnel people agreed to this unusual request, and by the time H.T.Morris was 20, he’d made his way through the huge factory and was working in experimental design for a fantastic salary. Whenever he went to a new department, he looked for the guys who had been around forever. These were the people novices usually avoided, afraid that next to them they’d look like the beginners they were. My father asked them every question he could think of. They liked this inquisitive young man and showed him shortcuts they had developed that no one else had ever asked about. These sages became his mentors. Whatever your goals, plan to network with those who know more than you. Model your efforts on theirs, adjusting and improving as you go.

The author’s father applied for a job at the Martin Aircraft Company and his goal was ()

A、to be a good worker with a special knowledge about his work

B、to do everything assigned him willingly

C、to be able to do whatever job there was in the factory

How often one hears children wishing they were grown up, and old people wishing they w

ere young again.Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.

Youth is a time when there are few tasks to make life difficult.If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved.It is impossible that he will again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return.In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child— things that have lost their interest for older people.But a child has his pains: he is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is continually being told not to do things, or being punished for what he has done wrong.

When the young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably.If he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison.If, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the great happiness of building up his position in society.

1.People can experience happiness if they ________.
