(Text 2)
M：My secretary made a reservation for me on the 14th of January.
W：For how many nights
M：Six.But if my wife comes，I'll stay for two more nights.②
(Text 3)
W：Hello，sir. I need to see your passports，please.What is your purpose of entering the country？③
M：I'm just driving the family to see their aunt, who lives in Seattle. We'll be coming back on Sunday night.
(Text 4)
W：Paul, it's my 17th birthday next week.
M：Really？Great.What day is it on
W：It's on Saturday.④ Can you come to my birthday party
M：Yes，of course.I won't miss it!
(Text 5)
W：Thanks for all you've done for me. Hey，listen, would you like to go to see a film sometime？⑤
M：Yeah，that'd be great！I'd love it.
(Text 6)
W：You haven't forgotten Sylvia's party tonight，have you
M：Of course not.There is plenty of time.
W：No，there isn't.The invitation says drinks are at 7：00, and it's 6：30 now.
M：Relax.I have told Sylvia we won't be there for drinks. Dinner won't start before 8：30 and we only need to arrive half an hour before that，so there is no hurry.⑥
W：I know，but we have to pick up our children from your parents' house on the way.⑦
M：Yeah，even so，there is no need to start right away.
(Text 7)
M：Brenda，could you search the web to see if there are still some seats left for the 9 o'clock movie this evening
W：Don't worry. I've already called to book two tickets for the movie.⑧ I'm thinking of picking them up from the ticket office on the way to the restaurant.What do you think
M：OK.Well, Megan wants to meet us half an hour earlier than scheduled.That means we should be at the restaurant at 6：30.⑨
W：Then we don't have enough time.We'd better get moving. Oh, on the way back home from the movie theater，can you remind me to stop by the supermarket I have to buy some cheese there.⑩ I want to make a cake tomorrow.

M：For the town of Springfield, the most important new project is to build more parks and redesign the sports center.
W：We've added a lot of new public spaces and will continue to build more in the future. Also, I agree that we need to fix our sports facilities， but I'd also like to recommend that we decrease taxes.
M：We need tax money to build a better future for us so that the large groups of people can move into our town.
W：The number of residents here is decreasing！I think we should all reach an agreement to make a priority instead of giving that power to local politicians.
M：I'd also like us to have a vote instead. On the list of issues, I'd like to create better parking near the mall.
W：I know that you live next to the shopping center. This is a good idea. I think increasing our police force should be our most important issue.
M：Safety is important，but improving the schools should be the first plan.
W：I disagree, but we should all vote on this. Secondly，we should continue stopping big companies from moving to the town.
M：We should promote small businesses instead.This creates more job opportunities.
W：Yes，and I also believe that in the future our small businesses will provide local workers with better and higher-paid jobs in Springfield.
(Text 9)
W：There is some smoke.I wonder where it is coming from.There aren't any factories over there, are there
M：No.Maybe someone is having a barbecue.
W：It must be the world's biggest barbecue.That smoke is a hundred feet high.
M：Listen，sirens.There is your answer.There is always trouble for someone.
W：It looks like it is coming from those new houses across the park.Just imagine moving into a new house and then it burns down.
M：It may not be that.Maybe it's just a garden fire that has got out of control.
W: Oh look，here is someone who will know all about it. If there is any news to be told, Liz will have it.
M：Now don't be unkind. She's a valuable source of neighbourhood information.
W：Yes，who needs radio or newspapers when Liz is around
M：She does tend to overstate.I think the newspapers are definitely more accurate than her.
W：But she's the kindest person I know.
M：I know.She loves looking after our children.Anyone who can tolerate them deserves a medal.
W：Hey，look.The smoke has gone.That was quick.What would you say—20 minutes or half an hour
M：Those firefighters don't mess about. It was 3：00 p．m. when the smoke appeared and it's only 3：40 p．m. now.
(Text 10)
M：I have a goal a lot of people may relate to. I mean who doesn't want to be in better shape, right？I don't want to lose weight，and I'm happy with my current weight，but I do want to get into shape. Some friends suggested joining a gym.I didn't want to do that. It can be expensive and it's hard to find the time sometimes. So I just started jogging with my friends.It's easy，fun，and it helps a lot to run with another person.That can be very motivating. I'm already starting to feel the results.

I'm rather good at using maps.But I forgot the maps and here we were, late afternoon, last day of vacation, my daughter, my cousin and I, driving along a two-lane highway in Oregon.No other car was in sight, and the sun had just gone down.Where was that sweet little village
It was supposed to be right along this river.We drove on, the unknown river always on the left as our guide.We kept passing farms and fields and then a few lights were coming out.In my head, I was doing a lot of self-criticism: Why didn't we start earlier, bring the map and so on My cousin and I were both impatient and stressed.My daughter, at least, was happy in the back seat, texting a friend.I pulled up on the shoulder of the road to think.
Just then—Wow! Amazing! A new scene appeared.Where did it come from
Right there, out of nowhere: a magical misty landscape.Fields stretched in silent purple, with rows of tall trees, darkening in the dusk.I turned the car engine off.All was silent in the hot summer air.Beside us, a plum-colored river hardly moved between lines of trees, its dark lazy water reflecting the last light of day.
How breathtaking! Where had it been If I had seen even a bit of this beauty while driving along, I could have stopped and taken a look.I had missed it all.
We miss a lot, almost everything, in fact, in our world.Our task-focused filters (过滤器) take care of that, selecting only what we need.We need to get to work.Have some lunch.We see what we need to see, often for the purpose of survival.Gregory Bateson, speaking of beauty，said the judgment is selection of a fact.In our daily lives，who or what is doing the selecting Can we make a change？Can we see further

In 1970, psychologist Walter Mischel famously placed a cookie in front of each of a group of children and gave them a choice: they could eat the cookie immediately, or they could wait until he returned and then be rewarded with a second. If they didn't wait, however, they'd be allowed to eat only the first one. Not surprisingly, once he left the room, many children ate their cookie almost immediately. A few, though, resisted eating the first cookie long enough to receive the second. Mischel termed these children high-delay children.
Interestingly, the children who were best able to delay gratification (满足) later did better in school and had fewer behavioural problems than the children who could only resist eating the cookie for a few minutes—and, further, ended up on average with SAT scores that were 210 points higher. As adults, the high-delay children completed college at higher rates than the other children and then went on to earn higher incomes.In contrast, the children who had the most trouble delaying gratification had higher rates of incarceration (监禁) as adults and were more likely to struggle with drug and alcohol addiction.
All suggests that the ability to delay gratification—that is, desire control—may be one of the most important skills to learn to have a satisfying and successful life.The question is, how do we learn it
The answer may lie in the strategies Mischel's high-delay children used. Rather than resist the urge to eat the cookie, these children distracted themselves from the urge itself. They played with toys in the room, sang songs to themselves, and looked everywhere but at the cookie. In short, they did everything they could to put the cookie out of their minds.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。心理学家沃尔特·米歇尔通过一项实验，发明了著名的延迟满足理论。这一理论对我们的个人成长有很大的借鉴意义。

B.How high-delay children succeed.
C.The advantages of low-delay children.
D.The advantages of high-delay children.

A.To educate them.
B.To do a research.
C.To entertain them.
D.To conduct a questionnaire survey.
解析：推理判断题。根据第一、二段内容可知，沃尔特在实验中先给每个孩子一块饼干，后来对这些孩子又进行了跟踪研究，观察他们长大后的表现。

Most of what I really need to know about is how to live, and what to do, and how to be, I learned in kindergarten.Wisdom was not at the top of the graduate school mountain，but there in the sandbox at nursery school.
These are the things I learned: Share everything.Play fair.Don't hit people.Put things back where you found them.Clean up your own mess.Don't take things that aren't yours.Say you're sorry when you hurt somebody.Wash your hands before you eat.Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you.Live a balanced life.Learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work some every day.
Take a nap every afternoon.When you go out into the world，watch for traffic，hold hands，and stick together.Be aware of wonder.Remember the little seed in the plastic cup.The roots go down and the plant goes up and nobody really knows how or why，but we are all like that.Goldfish and white mice and even the little seed in the plastic cup—they all die.So do we.
And then remember the book about Dick and Jane and the first word you learned，the biggest word of all: LOOK.Everything you need to know is in there somewhere：The Golden Rule and love and basic sanitation，ecology and politics and sane living.
Think of what a better world it would be if we all—the whole world—had cookies and milk about 3 o'clock every afternoon and then lay down with our blankets for a nap.Or if we had a basic policy in our nation and other nations to always put things back where we found them and clean up our own messes.And it is still true，no matter how old you are，when you go out into the world，it is best to hold hands and stick together.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇议论文。文章论述了我们在幼儿园学到的东西对我们的一生都有影响，我们要学会珍惜，让生命的每一天都有意义。

阅读下面的材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Baskin was a 20-year-old sophomore at the University of South Carolina whose parents ran a small restaurant.As he was the only college student in his family, his family tried their best to support him.Baskin always worked as a waiter in the restaurant to lighten his parents' burden.He was so hardworking that many customers praised his excellent service.His parents also appreciated and trusted him a lot.
It was a busy night.In the restaurant after a few guests walked in and sat down, they ordered a bottle of wine worth almost $2，000.
Having to serve another table, Baskin then asked a workmate to fetch the wine.However, since the employee was new, she accidentally took the wrong bottle of wine.Instead of the wine that was ordered by the customers, she served another wine, which cost about $1，000.As the bottles and names were similar, no one noticed the mistake.
Baskin didn't realize the mistake until the customers wanted to order a second bottle after finishing the first one.He checked the order quickly and understood what was wrong.He cleverly suggested they order a different one, without letting them know what had happened, which could give him time to think about how to solve the problem.
Everything seemed normal, but Baskin was lost in thought.“What should I do to solve this problem？” he asked himself.If he didn't tell the customers the mistake, he could keep the extra$1，000 secretly.As he was also the cashier of the restaurant, no one would know what happened.$1，000 was the tuition fee for the whole school year and his parents needn't work hard to earn money for him, or he could use the money to buy his favorite laptop which his parents couldn't afford.This extra money was really a huge temptation to him.But in this way, he would lose his honesty and dignity.
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
While he was struggling with his options, his father came over.__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

While he was struggling with his options, his father came over.Seeing his worried expression, his father asked him what was happening.Baskin couldn't help telling him the truth.His father listened attentively and gave his advice.He told Baskin he should tell the truth and admit his mistake.Baskin thought the customers probably wouldn't notice the mistake as they were not paying too much attention.His father said that he should always be honest and that only in this way could he always be trusted.Baskin nodded seriously.
When the customers came to pay the bill, Baskin decided to do the right thing.He explained the situation to the customers and apologized sincerely for the error.The customers were surprised at this and said they hadn't noticed the mistake at all.Instead, they said that the wine they were served tasted very good and gave him a large tip.To Baskin's relief, his father also forgave him for his mistake, saying that no harm had been done and that the customers were satisfied with the service.Thinking back, Baskin was grateful to his father and also learned an important life lesson.

M：Relax.I have told Sylvia we won't be there for drinks. Dinner won't start before 8：30 and we only need to arrive half an hour before that，so there is no hurry.⑥
W：I know，but we have to pick up our children from your parents' house on the way.⑦
M：Yeah，even so，there is no need to start right away.
(Text 7)
M：Brenda，could you search the web to see if there are still some seats left for the 9 o'clock movie this evening

M：For the town of Springfield, the most important new project is to build more parks and redesign the sports center.
W：We've added a lot of new public spaces and will continue to build more in the future. Also, I agree that we need to fix our sports facilities， but I'd also like to recommend that we decrease taxes.
M：We need tax money to build a better future for us so that the large groups of people can move into our town.
W：The number of residents here is decreasing！I think we should all reach an agreement to make a priority instead of giving that power to local politicians.
M：I'd also like us to have a vote instead. On the list of issues, I'd like to create better parking near the mall.
W：I know that you live next to the shopping center. This is a good idea. I think increasing our police force should be our most important issue.
M：Safety is important，but improving the schools should be the first plan.
W：I disagree, but we should all vote on this. Secondly，we should continue stopping big companies from moving to the town.
M：We should promote small businesses instead.This creates more job opportunities.
W：Yes，and I also believe that in the future our small businesses will provide local workers with better and higher-paid jobs in Springfield.

M：Listen，sirens.There is your answer.There is always trouble for someone.
W：It looks like it is coming from those new houses across the park.Just imagine moving into a new house and then it burns down.
M：It may not be that.Maybe it's just a garden fire that has got out of control.
W: Oh look，here is someone who will know all about it. If there is any news to be told, Liz will have it.
M：Now don't be unkind. She's a valuable source of neighbourhood information.
W：Yes，who needs radio or newspapers when Liz is around
M：She does tend to overstate.I think the newspapers are definitely more accurate than her.
W：But she's the kindest person I know.
M：I know.She loves looking after our children.Anyone who can tolerate them deserves a medal.
W：Hey，look.The smoke has gone.That was quick.What would you say—20 minutes or half an hour
M：Those firefighters don't mess about. It was 3：00 p．m. when the smoke appeared and it's only 3：40 p．m. now.
(Text 10)
M：I have a goal a lot of people may relate to. I mean who doesn't want to be in better shape, right？I don't want to lose weight，and I'm happy with my current weight，but I do want to get into shape. Some friends suggested joining a gym.I didn't want to do that. It can be expensive and it's hard to find the time sometimes. So I just started jogging with my friends.It's easy，fun，and it helps a lot to run with another person.That can be very motivating. I'm already starting to feel the results.

I'm rather good at using maps.But I forgot the maps and here we were, late afternoon, last day of vacation, my daughter, my cousin and I, driving along a two-lane highway in Oregon.No other car was in sight, and the sun had just gone down.Where was that sweet little village
It was supposed to be right along this river.We drove on, the unknown river always on the left as our guide.We kept passing farms and fields and then a few lights were coming out.In my head, I was doing a lot of self-criticism: Why didn't we start earlier, bring the map and so on My cousin and I were both impatient and stressed.My daughter, at least, was happy in the back seat, texting a friend.I pulled up on the shoulder of the road to think.
Just then—Wow! Amazing! A new scene appeared.Where did it come from
Right there, out of nowhere: a magical misty landscape.Fields stretched in silent purple, with rows of tall trees, darkening in the dusk.I turned the car engine off.All was silent in the hot summer air.Beside us, a plum-colored river hardly moved between lines of trees, its dark lazy water reflecting the last light of day.
How breathtaking! Where had it been If I had seen even a bit of this beauty while driving along, I could have stopped and taken a look.I had missed it all.
We miss a lot, almost everything, in fact, in our world.Our task-focused filters (过滤器) take care of that, selecting only what we need.We need to get to work.Have some lunch.We see what we need to see, often for the purpose of survival.Gregory Bateson, speaking of beauty，said the judgment is selection of a fact.In our daily lives，who or what is doing the selecting Can we make a change？Can we see further

In 1970, psychologist Walter Mischel famously placed a cookie in front of each of a group of children and gave them a choice: they could eat the cookie immediately, or they could wait until he returned and then be rewarded with a second. If they didn't wait, however, they'd be allowed to eat only the first one. Not surprisingly, once he left the room, many children ate their cookie almost immediately. A few, though, resisted eating the first cookie long enough to receive the second. Mischel termed these children high-delay children.
Interestingly, the children who were best able to delay gratification (满足) later did better in school and had fewer behavioural problems than the children who could only resist eating the cookie for a few minutes—and, further, ended up on average with SAT scores that were 210 points higher. As adults, the high-delay children completed college at higher rates than the other children and then went on to earn higher incomes.In contrast, the children who had the most trouble delaying gratification had higher rates of incarceration (监禁) as adults and were more likely to struggle with drug and alcohol addiction.
All suggests that the ability to delay gratification—that is, desire control—may be one of the most important skills to learn to have a satisfying and successful life.The question is, how do we learn it
The answer may lie in the strategies Mischel's high-delay children used. Rather than resist the urge to eat the cookie, these children distracted themselves from the urge itself. They played with toys in the room, sang songs to themselves, and looked everywhere but at the cookie. In short, they did everything they could to put the cookie out of their minds.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。心理学家沃尔特·米歇尔通过一项实验，发明了著名的延迟满足理论。这一理论对我们的个人成长有很大的借鉴意义。
√
28．What should the children do to get a second cookie
A.They should leave later.
B.They should wait longer.
C.They should arrive earlier.
D.They should study harder.
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“or they could wait...with a second”可知，若想得到第二块饼干，这些孩子需要做的是等待外出的沃尔特回来。
√
29．What's the second paragraph mainly about
A.How to be high-delay children.
B.How high-delay children succeed.
C.The advantages of low-delay children.
D.The advantages of high-delay children.
解析：段落大意题。根据第二段内容可知，那些擅长延迟满足的孩子长大后学习成绩更好，有较少的行为问题，同时也挣得更多，即延迟满足的孩子的优势。
√
30．Why did Walter Mischel give each of the children a cookie
A.To educate them.
B.To do a research.
C.To entertain them.
D.To conduct a questionnaire survey.
解析：推理判断题。根据第一、二段内容可知，沃尔特在实验中先给每个孩子一块饼干，后来对这些孩子又进行了跟踪研究，观察他们长大后的表现。
√
31．What should we do to delay gratification according to the author
A.Set another new goal.
B.Try to control the desire.
C.Give up what you want completely.
D.Forget what attracts you temporarily.

D
Most of what I really need to know about is how to live, and what to do, and how to be, I learned in kindergarten.Wisdom was not at the top of the graduate school mountain，but there in the sandbox at nursery school.
These are the things I learned: Share everything.Play fair.Don't hit people.Put things back where you found them.Clean up your own mess.Don't take things that aren't yours.Say you're sorry when you hurt somebody.Wash your hands before you eat.Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you.Live a balanced life.Learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work some every day.
Take a nap every afternoon.When you go out into the world，watch for traffic，hold hands，and stick together.Be aware of wonder.Remember the little seed in the plastic cup.The roots go down and the plant goes up and nobody really knows how or why，but we are all like that.Goldfish and white mice and even the little seed in the plastic cup—they all die.So do we.
And then remember the book about Dick and Jane and the first word you learned，the biggest word of all: LOOK.Everything you need to know is in there somewhere：The Golden Rule and love and basic sanitation，ecology and politics and sane living.
Think of what a better world it would be if we all—the whole world—had cookies and milk about 3 o'clock every afternoon and then lay down with our blankets for a nap.Or if we had a basic policy in our nation and other nations to always put things back where we found them and clean up our own messes.And it is still true，no matter how old you are，when you go out into the world，it is best to hold hands and stick together.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇议论文。文章论述了我们在幼儿园学到的东西对我们的一生都有影响，我们要学会珍惜，让生命的每一天都有意义。
√
32．What didn't the author learn to do while in kindergarten
A.Cook cookies and dishes.

阅读下面的材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Baskin was a 20-year-old sophomore at the University of South Carolina whose parents ran a small restaurant.As he was the only college student in his family, his family tried their best to support him.Baskin always worked as a waiter in the restaurant to lighten his parents' burden.He was so hardworking that many customers praised his excellent service.His parents also appreciated and trusted him a lot.
It was a busy night.In the restaurant after a few guests walked in and sat down, they ordered a bottle of wine worth almost $2，000.
Having to serve another table, Baskin then asked a workmate to fetch the wine.However, since the employee was new, she accidentally took the wrong bottle of wine.Instead of the wine that was ordered by the customers, she served another wine, which cost about $1，000.As the bottles and names were similar, no one noticed the mistake.
Baskin didn't realize the mistake until the customers wanted to order a second bottle after finishing the first one.He checked the order quickly and understood what was wrong.He cleverly suggested they order a different one, without letting them know what had happened, which could give him time to think about how to solve the problem.
Everything seemed normal, but Baskin was lost in thought.“What should I do to solve this problem？” he asked himself.If he didn't tell the customers the mistake, he could keep the extra$1，000 secretly.As he was also the cashier of the restaurant, no one would know what happened.$1，000 was the tuition fee for the whole school year and his parents needn't work hard to earn money for him, or he could use the money to buy his favorite laptop which his parents couldn't afford.This extra money was really a huge temptation to him.But in this way, he would lose his honesty and dignity.
注意：续写词数应为150左右。

One possible version：
While he was struggling with his options, his father came over.Seeing his worried expression, his father asked him what was happening.Baskin couldn't help telling him the truth.His father listened attentively and gave his advice.He told Baskin he should tell the truth and admit his mistake.Baskin thought the customers probably wouldn't notice the mistake as they were not paying too much attention.His father said that he should always be honest and that only in this way could he always be trusted.Baskin nodded seriously.
When the customers came to pay the bill, Baskin decided to do the right thing.He explained the situation to the customers and apologized sincerely for the error.The customers were surprised at this and said they hadn't noticed the mistake at all.Instead, they said that the wine they were served tasted very good and gave him a large tip.To Baskin's relief, his father also forgave him for his mistake, saying that no harm had been done and that the customers were satisfied with the service.Thinking back, Baskin was grateful to his father and also learned an important life lesson.
