BEIJING, Sep. 10 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )(Xinhuanet) -- The extra-large model baby in the Spain Pavilion（馆） was “conceived”（构思）by a Spanish filmmaker, Shi Yingying reports.
Visitors admirin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )g the 6.5-meter-high giant baby, Miguelin, in the Spain Pavilion may be surprised to realize that it was not the concept of a famous designer or a group of groundbreaking engineers. It came from one filmmaker’s interpretation of the meaning of “Better City, Better Life”.
Spanish director ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Isabel Coixet developed the idea after being asked to contribute to Expo 2010 Shanghai.
“They asked m ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e to do something to tell the Chinese audience about Spain in the future and the first thing jumping to my mind was a baby,” said Coixet. “If we really fight to have better cars, better cities and better lives, it’s for them - for our children.”
Despite her Spa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nish heritage, Coixet doesn’t focus on making Spanish films or using Spain as the setting. Fans of her various award-winning films, including My Life Without Me, The Secret Life of Words and Elegy, may not even be aware of Coixet’s Spanish background.
“The borders between c ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ountries are just illusion（假象）,” said Coixet. “Some directors feel really comfortable telling stories that belong to their territory.”
But Coixt feels th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e opposite: “I'm more comfortable outside my country. It gives me a strange freedom.”
One of her f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )avorite things about being a director is the freedom. “The thing is that the world is wide and this freedom lets you make films everywhere,” she said.
Coixet’s cur ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )iosity took her latest exploration and movie work to Japan. In the movie Map of the Sound of Tokyo, the Catalan actor Sergi Lopez is the owner of a wine shop in Tokyo, and Japanese actress Rinko Kikuchi is a young woman who works both as a fishmonger and as a hired killer.
The clash（冲突）of th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e two people's very different worlds and the tango-like relationship they develop is just one representation of what Coixet is able to produce by mixing cultures.
While she doesn’t k ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )now if she will shoot a film in Shanghai, two things have caught her attention: Shanghainese women and crickets（蟋蟀）.
After just arriving ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )in the city, she was surprised by the mix of old Chinese culture in a booming metropolis. “Behind the skyscrapers, there is a flower and bird market with heaps of crickets and birdcages in,” she said. “I'm totally amazed with the city.”
1．The huge baby represents the idea that _________________________.
A. our children are the new generation full of imagination.
B. our children w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ill develop the friendship between China and Spain.
C. our children are our future.
D. our children will ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) understand the meaning of “better city, better life”.
2. We learn fro ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )m the passage that Coixet’s award-winning films were set ________________.
A. only in Spain. B. only in Japan.
C. mainly in the countries outside Spain.
D. mainly in the countries within Europe.
3. According to I ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sabel Coixet, a flower and bird market behind the high rises_______________.
A. shows peo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ple in Shanghai are living a ric h life spiritually and materially.
B. reflects prosperity of the market.
C. indicates the Chinese people are leading a peaceful life.
D. represents the traditional culture of China.
4. From the passage we can learn that ____________________________.
A. Isabel Coixet is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )dissatisfied with the design of the extra-large model baby.
B. A mix of differ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ent cultures is reflected in Isabel Coixet’s films.
C. Isabel Coixet fee ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ls less comfortable while making films all over the world.
D. Isabel Coi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )xet designed the huge baby according to the requirement of a group of engineers.

SYDNEY—Australia’s eco ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nomic boom is encouraging a steady stream of unexpected visitors looking for work: Americans.
U.S. citizens ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) are heading to Australia in small but growing numbers as near-10% unemployment at home drives more to look for jobs Down Under, where China’s thirst for iron ore (矿石) and energy is transforming the Pacific nation into an economic powerhouse.
A bricklaying ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) student from Silver Trowel, a leading provider of quality education and training in the building and construction industry, apprentices (当学徒) on a building project in Western Australia, where workers are in short supply.
Daniel Davila, a 2 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )3-year-old floorer from Camarillo, California made the 14-hour move across the Pacific two years ago. He had been forced to take a job stocking shelves at a local grocery store for $8.90 an hour when he couldn’t get work fixing floors.
On a good day in Aus ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tralia, he now makes as much as 50 Australian dollars (US$50.21) an hour—about twice the amount for a typical flooring job in the U.S. He plans to start his own flooring business.
“I can make what ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )I did in a week in the U.S. in less than a day here,” said Mr. Davila, who lives near a mining boom town in Western Australia.
Australian govern ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ment figures show just under 7,000 Americans currently working on long-term visas, an 80% jump over the past five years. U.S. citizens are now the third-largest group applying for so-called 457 work visas, after British and Indian nationals. Americans with degrees in areas such as accounting or mine engineering, as well as other skilled workers, can obtain a nonrenewable(不可续期的) permit for as much as a three-year stay. After that, they can apply for the renewable 457, which allows up to a four-year stay.
The need for w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )orkers is particularly pressing in Western Australia. The mining state’s unemployment rate was 4.5% in November, below the national average of 5.2%. Drivers of heavy trucks can pull in six-figure salaries while experienced crane (起重机) operators can earn hundreds of thousands a year. Attracting skilled workers is a shift for Australia, which historically sent many of its most highly educated to the U.S. and Europe, according to migration data.
1. _____, a growing number of Americans go to work in Australia.
A. As a result of the encouragement of Australia
B. As a result of high unemployment in the U.S.
C. Out of their ambition of finding valuable resources
D. Out of their determination to realize their dreams
2. It can be inf ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )erred from the passage that 457 work visas are _____.
A. for skilled wor ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )kers in some fields B. for students on the building project
C. especially for ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )American workers D. especially for those out of work
3. It is implied in the passage that _____.
A. foreigners hav ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e to give up their original professional jobs when working in Australia
B. it is possible ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )for foreigners to earn more money in Australia than in their own countries
C. there are more ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) U.S. citizens hoping to work in Australia than from other countries
D. Australia ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ns think it fair to exchange their talent with American skilled workers

Four years ag ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o my sweet mom went to be with her Lord. She did it her way.
I got the call a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t work, and I headed home quickly. Mom and Dad lived on a small farm that they had owned since I was seven. I hated going there every weekend. There was nothing for a young girl to do but watch the one station on the old TV set, if the weather allowed reception.
My mom, on the ot ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )her hand, loved the peace and quiet of the land and loved to work in the garden among her flowers and vegetables. The place was rustic, with no indoor plumbing or heat. We had a big wood stove in the kitchen that did its best to heat the little farmhouse, but it always seemed cold and too quiet to me.
In the evenings, m ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y mom and I would sit for hours singing in the little kitchen. I sang the melody and Mom harmonized. Her favorite song was "Moon River" and we sang it over and over. Mom told me stories about how when I was a little girl, I could sing before I could talk. She loved to tell how my playpen（婴儿圈栏）sat in the kitchen next to the radio and there was one song I particularly loved called "Ivory Tower".
As time passed, I had my own children and went to visit every week or two. The kids loved the farm and the tractor rides with my dad. Me, well, I still hated the silence of the farm. While my mom loved to sit at her kitchen table and look out at her garden and flowers and retell all the old stories, I missed the hustle and bustle（喧闹）of my life at home. But I sat there listening quietly as she reminisced.
Now, I sat back i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n the silence and the silence was deafening so I finally leaned over to turn on an old radio. Music always comforted me.
My heart skipped a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )beat. "Moon River" was playing on the radio. I sat there stunned, with a tear running down my cheek, as I listened to every familiar note.
Then the radio a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nnouncer of this oldie station came on. "Here's one we haven't heard in a while," and an unfamiliar song began. I began to cry harder as I heard the words sung over the airwaves. "Come down, come down from your Ivory Tower...."
1. The write ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r didn’t like staying in the farm for the following reasons EXCEPT that ________.
A. it was too cold and quiet
B. she could only sing one song in the small farm
C. there was nothing more that could make her excited
D. The place was rustic, with no indoor plumbing or heat
2. From the first pa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ragraph, we know that the writer’s mother ________.
A. passed away four years ago
B. left the small farm with Lord
C. left for Lord to live her own way

Eight – year – ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )old Jesse Abrogate was playing in the sea late one evening in July 2001 when a 7 – foot bull shark attacked him and tore off his arm. Jesse’s uncle jumped into the sea and dragged the boy to shore. The boy was not breathing. His aunt gave him mouth – to – mouth resuscitation (人工呼吸) while his uncle rang the emergency services. Pretty soon, a helicopter arrived and flew the boy to hospital. It was a much quicker journey than the journey by road.
Jesse’s uncle, Va ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nce Folsenzier, ran back into to the sea and found the shark that had attacked his nephew. He picked the shark up and threw it onto the beach. A coastguard shot the fish four times and although this did not kill it, the shark’s jaws relaxed so that they could open them, and reach down into its stomach, and pull out the boy’s arm.
At the Baptist Hospi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tal in Pensacola, Dr Ian Rogers spent eleven hours reattaching Jesse’s arm. “It was a complicated operation,” he said, “but we were lucky. If the arm hadn’t been recovered in time, we wouldn’t have been able to do the operation at all. What I mean is that if they hadn’t found the shark, well then we wouldn’t have had a chance.’
According to loc ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )al park ranger Jack Tomosvic, shark attacks are not that common. “Jesse was just unlucky,” he says, “evening is the shark’s feeding time. And Jesse was in area without lifeguards. This would never have happened if he had been in area where swimming is allowed.’
When reporters aske ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d Jesse’s uncle how he had had the courage to fight a shark, he replied, “I was mad and you do some strange things when you’re mad.”
1．What was the boy doing when the accident happened
A．Feeding a hungry shark. B．Jumping into the rough sea.
C．Dragging a boy to the shore. D．Swimming in a dangerous area.
2．In which way did the boy’s uncle help with the operation
A．By finding his lost arm. B．By shooting the fish.
C．By flying him to hospital. D．By blowing into his mouth.
3．How was his uncle in time of danger
A．Careful. B．Brave. C．Optimistic. D．Patient.

Decision-making can ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )be extremely difficult. Decision-making styles are significantly different in different cultures.
In any approac ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )h to a problem and in any negotiations, the Western world turns to the“I to you” approach while Japan，the “you to you” approach. The former means both sides present their arguments openly from their own point of view. Naturally, often comes a confrontation(冲突) situation, which Westerners are very skillful in dealing with. The latter is based on each side trying to understand the other person’s point of view. Thus, the direction of the meeting is a mutual(相互的) attempt to reduce confrontation and achieve harmony.
Besides, Wes ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tern decision-making goes mostly from top management(管理人员) and often does not consult middle management or the worker. However, in Japan great consideration is given to the thoughts and opinions of everyone at all levels. Based on “bottom-up direction”, ideas can be created at the lowest levels, travel upward through an organization and have an effect on the final decision.
Difference in decisi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )on-making also comes from different communication styles. The Japanese business person works to achieve harmony, even if the deal falls through, and will spend whatever time is necessary to determine a “you to you” approach, communicating personal views only indirectly. They put a thorough job above the Western deadline approach. So the Japanese are thorough in their meetings. Thus Americans are often annoyed by the many meetings in many Japanese businesses. But where the American is pressing for a specific decision, the Japanese is trying to think up a rather broad direction.
On the other hand, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )once a given agreement is made, it is the Japanese who sometimes wonder at the slow pace in which Westerners carry out the decision.

Every member in you ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r family needs to help out around the house in order to make things run smoothly. It’s difficult for parents of nearly every family to teach their children to be responsible for housework. Home is where the school is. 1
If you give your chil ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )dren the impression that they can never do a thing quite right, then they will regard themselves as unfit or unable persons. 2
My daughter ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Carla’s fifth grade teacher made every child in her class feel special. When students received less than a perfect test score, she would point out what they had mastered and declared firmly they could learn what they had missed.
3 Don’t alwa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ys scold and give lots of praise instead. Praise your child every time he does something good or something right. If children receive praise for a job well done, it encourages them to do well the next time too. 4 If you praise your child often, you will notice a dramatic improvement in your child’s behavior over time. If your child completes a difficult task, reward him with a Sunday trip or a ball game with Dad.
5 If you teach your children not to fear a mistake or failure, they will learn faster and achieve success at last.
A. Unless children b ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )elieve they can succeed, they will never become totally independent.
B. Don’t always give your children whatever they want.
C. With one of t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he following suggestions, you really can get your children to help at home.
D. Learning i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s a process of trying and failing and trying and succeeding.
E. My daughter benefited from her teacher a lot.
F. You can use the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) same technique when you evaluate your child’s work at home.
G. But if thei ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r efforts go unnoticed they will not bother to try so hard the next time.

Everyone has got tw ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o personalities-the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real. 1 But when you're asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, people frequently change their position. The important position is the one that you go to sleep in.
If you go to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) sleep on your back, you're a very open person. 2 You don't like to upset people, so you never express your real feelings. You're quite shy and you aren't very confident.
If you sleep ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )on your stomach, you are a rather secretive person. You worry a lot and you're always easily upset. You're very stubborn, but you aren't very ambitious. You usually live for today not tomorrow. 3
If you sleep cur ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )led up you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and so you're often defensive. 4 You prefer to be on your own. You're easily hurt.
If you sleep on ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) your side, you have usually got a well-balanced personality. You know your strengths and weaknesses. You're usually careful. You have a confident personality. 5 You always say what you think even if it annoys people.
A. If you are interested, please follow the test of your personality.
B. You normally trust ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) people and you are easily influenced by fashion or new ideas.
C. This means that you enjoy having a good time.
D. You're shy and you don't normally like meeting people.
E. You don't show ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) your secret personality when you're awake because you can control your behavior.
F. You sometimes feel anxious, but you don't often get depressed.
G. On the contrary, you are likely to feel extremely nervous.
PROOF READING 1
My husband 96-year- ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )old grandmother came to live with us for many years of independence. We did all the things we could make her feel comfortable, in our home, including giving her the private telephone line for their bedroom One evening we were having a party while the phone rang. It was a telephone operator, who asked, “Do you have a grandmother on upstairs “Yes, what was happened ” my husband replied. “Well,” the operator again continued, “She can't remember your phone number, and she like a cup of tea.”
PROOF READING 2
I'd like to tell ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) you something more about the problem of pollution we are facing to. As we know, the factory besides our school gives off heavy smoke all day long. Very loud voices hurt our ears. Rubbish and waste are thrown here or there. It also sends out polluting water and poisonous gas. All this has made a great harm to the health and study of the teachers and students. But as time goes on, a little has done to change the situation. I don't think we could study well unless the problem is solved. We do hope you'll help and support us.

BEIJING, Sep. 10 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )(Xinhuanet) -- The extra-large model baby in the Spain Pavilion（馆） was “conceived”（构思）by a Spanish filmmaker, Shi Yingying reports.
Visitors admirin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )g the 6.5-meter-high giant baby, Miguelin, in the Spain Pavilion may be surprised to realize that it was not the concept of a famous designer or a group of groundbreaking engineers. It came from one filmmaker’s interpretation of the meaning of “Better City, Better Life”.
Spanish director ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Isabel Coixet developed the idea after being asked to contribute to Expo 2010 Shanghai.
“They asked m ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e to do something to tell the Chinese audience about Spain in the future and the first thing jumping to my mind was a baby,” said Coixet. “If we really fight to have better cars, better cities and better lives, it’s for them - for our children.”
Despite her Spa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nish heritage, Coixet doesn’t focus on making Spanish films or using Spain as the setting. Fans of her various award-winning films, including My Life Without Me, The Secret Life of Words and Elegy, may not even be aware of Coixet’s Spanish background.
“The borders between c ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ountries are just illusion（假象）,” said Coixet. “Some directors feel really comfortable telling stories that belong to their territory.”
But Coixt feels th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e opposite: “I'm more comfortable outside my country. It gives me a strange freedom.”
One of her f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )avorite things about being a director is the freedom. “The thing is that the world is wide and this freedom lets you make films everywhere,” she said.
Coixet’s cur ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )iosity took her latest exploration and movie work to Japan. In the movie Map of the Sound of Tokyo, the Catalan actor Sergi Lopez is the owner of a wine shop in Tokyo, and Japanese actress Rinko Kikuchi is a young woman who works both as a fishmonger and as a hired killer.
The clash（冲突）of th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e two people's very different worlds and the tango-like relationship they develop is just one representation of what Coixet is able to produce by mixing cultures.
While she doesn’t k ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )now if she will shoot a film in Shanghai, two things have caught her attention: Shanghainese women and crickets（蟋蟀）.
After just arriving ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )in the city, she was surprised by the mix of old Chinese culture in a booming metropolis. “Behind the skyscrapers, there is a flower and bird market with heaps of crickets and birdcages in,” she said. “I'm totally amazed with the city.”
1．The huge baby represents the idea that _________________________.
A. our children are the new generation full of imagination.
B. our children w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ill develop the friendship between China and Spain.
C. our children are our future.
D. our children will ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) understand the meaning of “better city, better life”.
2. We learn fro ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )m the passage that Coixet’s award-winning films were set ________________.
A. only in Spain. B. only in Japan.
C. mainly in the countries outside Spain.
D. mainly in the countries within Europe.
3. According to I ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sabel Coixet, a flower and bird market behind the high rises_______________.
A. shows peo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ple in Shanghai are living a ric h life spiritually and materially.
B. reflects prosperity of the market.
C. indicates the Chinese people are leading a peaceful life.
D. represents the traditional culture of China.
4. From the passage we can learn that ____________________________.
A. Isabel Coixet is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )dissatisfied with the design of the extra-large model baby.
B. A mix of differ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ent cultures is reflected in Isabel Coixet’s films.
C. Isabel Coixet fee ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ls less comfortable while making films all over the world.
D. Isabel Coi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )xet designed the huge baby according to the requirement of a group of engineers.

SYDNEY—Australia’s eco ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nomic boom is encouraging a steady stream of unexpected visitors looking for work: Americans.
U.S. citizens ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) are heading to Australia in small but growing numbers as near-10% unemployment at home drives more to look for jobs Down Under, where China’s thirst for iron ore (矿石) and energy is transforming the Pacific nation into an economic powerhouse.
A bricklaying ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) student from Silver Trowel, a leading provider of quality education and training in the building and construction industry, apprentices (当学徒) on a building project in Western Australia, where workers are in short supply.
Daniel Davila, a 2 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )3-year-old floorer from Camarillo, California made the 14-hour move across the Pacific two years ago. He had been forced to take a job stocking shelves at a local grocery store for $8.90 an hour when he couldn’t get work fixing floors.
On a good day in Aus ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tralia, he now makes as much as 50 Australian dollars (US$50.21) an hour—about twice the amount for a typical flooring job in the U.S. He plans to start his own flooring business.
“I can make what ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )I did in a week in the U.S. in less than a day here,” said Mr. Davila, who lives near a mining boom town in Western Australia.
Australian govern ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ment figures show just under 7,000 Americans currently working on long-term visas, an 80% jump over the past five years. U.S. citizens are now the third-largest group applying for so-called 457 work visas, after British and Indian nationals. Americans with degrees in areas such as accounting or mine engineering, as well as other skilled workers, can obtain a nonrenewable(不可续期的) permit for as much as a three-year stay. After that, they can apply for the renewable 457, which allows up to a four-year stay.
The need for w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )orkers is particularly pressing in Western Australia. The mining state’s unemployment rate was 4.5% in November, below the national average of 5.2%. Drivers of heavy trucks can pull in six-figure salaries while experienced crane (起重机) operators can earn hundreds of thousands a year. Attracting skilled workers is a shift for Australia, which historically sent many of its most highly educated to the U.S. and Europe, according to migration data.
1. _____, a growing number of Americans go to work in Australia.
A. As a result of the encouragement of Australia
B. As a result of high unemployment in the U.S.
C. Out of their ambition of finding valuable resources
D. Out of their determination to realize their dreams
2. It can be inf ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )erred from the passage that 457 work visas are _____.
A. for skilled wor ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )kers in some fields B. for students on the building project
C. especially for ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )American workers D. especially for those out of work
3. It is implied in the passage that _____.
A. foreigners hav ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e to give up their original professional jobs when working in Australia
B. it is possible ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )for foreigners to earn more money in Australia than in their own countries
C. there are more ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) U.S. citizens hoping to work in Australia than from other countries
D. Australia ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ns think it fair to exchange their talent with American skilled workers

Four years ag ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o my sweet mom went to be with her Lord. She did it her way.
I got the call a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t work, and I headed home quickly. Mom and Dad lived on a small farm that they had owned since I was seven. I hated going there every weekend. There was nothing for a young girl to do but watch the one station on the old TV set, if the weather allowed reception.
My mom, on the ot ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )her hand, loved the peace and quiet of the land and loved to work in the garden among her flowers and vegetables. The place was rustic, with no indoor plumbing or heat. We had a big wood stove in the kitchen that did its best to heat the little farmhouse, but it always seemed cold and too quiet to me.
In the evenings, m ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y mom and I would sit for hours singing in the little kitchen. I sang the melody and Mom harmonized. Her favorite song was "Moon River" and we sang it over and over. Mom told me stories about how when I was a little girl, I could sing before I could talk. She loved to tell how my playpen（婴儿圈栏）sat in the kitchen next to the radio and there was one song I particularly loved called "Ivory Tower".
As time passed, I had my own children and went to visit every week or two. The kids loved the farm and the tractor rides with my dad. Me, well, I still hated the silence of the farm. While my mom loved to sit at her kitchen table and look out at her garden and flowers and retell all the old stories, I missed the hustle and bustle（喧闹）of my life at home. But I sat there listening quietly as she reminisced.
Now, I sat back i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n the silence and the silence was deafening so I finally leaned over to turn on an old radio. Music always comforted me.
My heart skipped a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )beat. "Moon River" was playing on the radio. I sat there stunned, with a tear running down my cheek, as I listened to every familiar note.
Then the radio a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nnouncer of this oldie station came on. "Here's one we haven't heard in a while," and an unfamiliar song began. I began to cry harder as I heard the words sung over the airwaves. "Come down, come down from your Ivory Tower...."

Eight – year – ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )old Jesse Abrogate was playing in the sea late one evening in July 2001 when a 7 – foot bull shark attacked him and tore off his arm. Jesse’s uncle jumped into the sea and dragged the boy to shore. The boy was not breathing. His aunt gave him mouth – to – mouth resuscitation (人工呼吸) while his uncle rang the emergency services. Pretty soon, a helicopter arrived and flew the boy to hospital. It was a much quicker journey than the journey by road.
Jesse’s uncle, Va ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nce Folsenzier, ran back into to the sea and found the shark that had attacked his nephew. He picked the shark up and threw it onto the beach. A coastguard shot the fish four times and although this did not kill it, the shark’s jaws relaxed so that they could open them, and reach down into its stomach, and pull out the boy’s arm.
At the Baptist Hospi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tal in Pensacola, Dr Ian Rogers spent eleven hours reattaching Jesse’s arm. “It was a complicated operation,” he said, “but we were lucky. If the arm hadn’t been recovered in time, we wouldn’t have been able to do the operation at all. What I mean is that if they hadn’t found the shark, well then we wouldn’t have had a chance.’
According to loc ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )al park ranger Jack Tomosvic, shark attacks are not that common. “Jesse was just unlucky,” he says, “evening is the shark’s feeding time. And Jesse was in area without lifeguards. This would never have happened if he had been in area where swimming is allowed.’
When reporters aske ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d Jesse’s uncle how he had had the courage to fight a shark, he replied, “I was mad and you do some strange things when you’re mad.”
1．What was the boy doing when the accident happened
A．Feeding a hungry shark. B．Jumping into the rough sea.
C．Dragging a boy to the shore. D．Swimming in a dangerous area.
2．In which way did the boy’s uncle help with the operation
A．By finding his lost arm. B．By shooting the fish.
C．By flying him to hospital. D．By blowing into his mouth.
3．How was his uncle in time of danger
A．Careful. B．Brave. C．Optimistic. D．Patient.

Decision-making can ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )be extremely difficult. Decision-making styles are significantly different in different cultures.
In any approac ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )h to a problem and in any negotiations, the Western world turns to the“I to you” approach while Japan，the “you to you” approach. The former means both sides present their arguments openly from their own point of view. Naturally, often comes a confrontation(冲突) situation, which Westerners are very skillful in dealing with. The latter is based on each side trying to understand the other person’s point of view. Thus, the direction of the meeting is a mutual(相互的) attempt to reduce confrontation and achieve harmony.
Besides, Wes ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tern decision-making goes mostly from top management(管理人员) and often does not consult middle management or the worker. However, in Japan great consideration is given to the thoughts and opinions of everyone at all levels. Based on “bottom-up direction”, ideas can be created at the lowest levels, travel upward through an organization and have an effect on the final decision.
Difference in decisi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )on-making also comes from different communication styles. The Japanese business person works to achieve harmony, even if the deal falls through, and will spend whatever time is necessary to determine a “you to you” approach, communicating personal views only indirectly. They put a thorough job above the Western deadline approach. So the Japanese are thorough in their meetings. Thus Americans are often annoyed by the many meetings in many Japanese businesses. But where the American is pressing for a specific decision, the Japanese is trying to think up a rather broad direction.
On the other hand, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )once a given agreement is made, it is the Japanese who sometimes wonder at the slow pace in which Westerners carry out the decision. The Japanese are eager to move forward and Westerners, perhaps, lag(落后) behind as they take the time for in-depth planning.
1.A Japanese business bases its decision .
A. on top-down dire ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ction B. on nothing but its workers’ views
C. on bottom-up ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )direction D. only on its top leaders’ opinions
2. The text m ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ainly tells us that Japan and the Western world .
A. face great dif ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ficulty in making decisions B. are different in decision-making styles
C. have all me ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )mbers contribute to a decision D. have two approaches: “I to you” and “you to I”
3.Which of the following is TRUE of the Westerners
A. They carry out the decision once it is made.
B. There are many meetings in their businesses.
C. They work to achieve harmony in doing business.
D. They are good at handling confrontation situation.
4.The author’s attitude towards Japanese decision-making is .

Every member in you ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r family needs to help out around the house in order to make things run smoothly. It’s difficult for parents of nearly every family to teach their children to be responsible for housework. Home is where the school is. 1
If you give your chil ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )dren the impression that they can never do a thing quite right, then they will regard themselves as unfit or unable persons. 2
My daughter ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Carla’s fifth grade teacher made every child in her class feel special. When students received less than a perfect test score, she would point out what they had mastered and declared firmly they could learn what they had missed.

If children receive praise for a job well done, it encourages them to do well the next time too. 4 If you praise your child often, you will notice a dramatic improvement in your child’s behavior over time. If your child completes a difficult task, reward him with a Sunday trip or a ball game with Dad.

My husband 96-year- ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )old grandmother came to live with us for many years of independence. We did all the things we could make her feel comfortable, in our home, including giving her the private telephone line for their bedroom One evening we were having a party while the phone rang. It was a telephone operator, who asked, “Do you have a grandmother on upstairs “Yes, what was happened ” my husband replied. “Well,” the operator again continued, “She can't remember your phone number, and she like a cup of tea.”

I'd like to tell ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) you something more about the problem of pollution we are facing to. As we know, the factory besides our school gives off heavy smoke all day long. Very loud voices hurt our ears. Rubbish and waste are thrown here or there. It also sends out polluting water and poisonous gas. All this has made a great harm to the health and study of the teachers and students. But as time goes on, a little has done to change the situation. I don't think we could study well unless the problem is solved. We do hope you'll help and support us.
