Naomi Shihab Nye has lots of things to write about. She never seems to run out of ideas. Naomi writes poetry for young people and adults, but she is also the author of essays, children’s picture books, songs, and a novel for teenagers.
Where does Naomi get her ideas She sees poetry in the details of everyday life, like the way things smell or taste, the sounds of nature, the voices of her family, and the colors of a flower or a bird’s wing or a strawberry.
Naomi’s poetry is also often influenced by places she has lived in and visited. Naomi was raised by her Palestinian father and American mother. She grew up in St. Louis, Missouri, US, Jerusalem, Israel and San Antonio, Texas, US. Each of these places has its own unique features, which Naomi has described with her rich, descriptive language.
Naomi also writes about her dual(双重的) cultures and the conflict between the Israelis and Palestinians in the Middle East. Today, Naomi has settled down in San Antonio. She knows many people who have a Mexican－American identity, and she works their experiences into her poetry. Naomi focuses on the ways that people of different cultures and backgrounds are similar rather than different. She has even traveled to the Middle East and Asia to promote international goodwill through the arts. Naomi firmly believes in the power of writing to change the world and help people find common ground.
Naomi Shihab Nye began writing poetry as soon as she learned how to write. She published her first poem when she was only seven years old! Since that time, Naomi has written and edited more than 20 books. She often tells young writers to write about their daily lives—the things they observe and the feelings they have. That’s a good reminder for any writer!

The term “telecommuting” refers to a workforce arrangement in which there is no central office where employees gather and work. Instead, these employees work wherever they can access the people and materials needed to complete their projects and daily tasks. One of the most common locations for telecommuters to work is their own homes. However, with today’s advanced technological equipment, employees can work anywhere. Laptop computers and tablets allow for facile mobility, as do wireless Internet “hot spots” and even smartphones with highspeed Internet connectivity.
More employers should consider the advantages of a telecommuting arrangement. It allows employers to hire people who otherwise would not be available. This includes parents with small children, the physically disabled, and people living far from urban centers. Plus, it allows for a more globalized business, since the company can employ people in all parts of the world, regardless of location or time zone. According to a recent poll, approximately one in five workers telecommutes frequently, and nearly 10 percent never set foot in a traditional office.
Still, some barriers do exist to more employers, adopting a telecommuting work model. Liability insurance and worker’s compensation in case of accidents can become serious issues, and all other applicable laws and regulations must be fully investigated. In addition, the long－established way to manage employees has been to observe workers at first hand. Therefore, many companies do not allow full－time telecommuting for fear of a drop in productivity levels.
However, most studies find that frequent face－to－face interactions through video－conferencing, as well as allowing for periods of adjustment to the new work system, are often all that is needed to overcome any obstacles. The advantages of telecommuting—even two or three days a week—far outweigh any possible disadvantages, and most of the employer concerns about telecommuting are unfounded. They are simply based on ignorance of new hi－tech breakthroughs or on fear of change to the traditional workforce environment. Clearly, employers today should not overlook the option of telecommuting.
5. Which of the following best describes the author’s attitude toward telecommuting
A. Afraid. B. Enthusiastic.
C. Disapproving. D. Indifferent.
6. What is the main point of the second paragraph
A. Virtual offices are not limited to the home.
B. Telecommuting reduces rent and electricity costs.
C. Telecommuting has numerous benefits.
D. Living far from urban centers is no longer a problem.
7. Why did the author write the passage
A. To describe the technical terms used by telecommuters.
B. To criticize the greed of companies that do not allow telecommuting.
C. To explain the reasons why some companies do not permit telecommuting.
D. To praise the advantages of telecommuting.
8. Which of the following states the author’s opinion
A. Companies considering telecommuting should check on legal issues and union rules.
B. There are no serious barriers in organizations, attempting to adopt telecommuting.
C. To make telecommuting common, all companies must adopt video－conferencing.
D. Telecommuting should not be allowed for fewer than three days a week.
Ⅱ. 阅读填句

To whom it may concern，
I’m one of your customers. I’m writing to make a complaint about your goods.
To begin with, I ordered a notebook computer and a set of English novels on your website two weeks ago, but I didn’t receive them until yesterday. Besides, to my disappointment, the computer I received isn’t the one I ordered. If you refer to my original order, you will find that I requested a Model 506 computer. However, Model 480 reached me instead, causing me much inconvenience. To make matters worse, the books are far from satisfying, as I found some pages missing. Therefore, I hope you can solve the matter for me. I wonder if you can take back those you sent out and replace them with a Model 506 computer and a new set of books
I would appreciate it if you could give due attention to this matter. Looking forward to your reply.
Yours faithfully，
Li Hua
