W: Excuse me. I wonder if you could tell me how to find a place to have my shoes mended. I’m new in town.
M: Ah, there is a good shop not far from here. Go straight ahead and walk about three blocks. I can’t remember the name of the shop, but you’ll find it. It’s near the police station. By the way, you know about the Town Guide? It’s a thin book and has all kinds of useful information. You’ll find one in any bookstore.

W: I had roast chicken yesterday when I ate out with Shelly.
M: Their beef steak is good, too. You can have it served with beans and mushrooms.
W: But I'm not that hungry. Is the fried fish or the seafood salad good?

W: That sounds like a good idea.

W: Can I see you after lunch?
M: Well, let me see…after lunch, I have to attend a senior staff meeting, which may last about two hours. Can you come at 3? We can talk for an hour before I meet my sales team at 4.
W: I’m afraid an hour is too short. What about tomorrow morning?

W: Hey, Bill. I hear they’re going to send you to Germany for the new project.
M: Boy, news travels fast around here! I only got the orders a couple of hours ago. Rachel doesn’t even know…
W: Oh, no? So, what are you waiting for? When do you plan to tell her?
M: Well, she is at work at the moment. She doesn’t finish until 5. I’ll have to wait until tonight now, I suppose.
W: Well, I was posted there before, back in 2008. It’s OK — a bit like England, really. At least the weather is similar, and the people aren’t much different. The only thing I didn’t like is the food, especially the sausages. What do you intend to do about the family? Are you going to take them with you?
M: Well, I’d like to, but I don’t know much about the situation at the moment…you know, about schools and all that. But I hope to move the family out there in a couple of months’ time. I don’t think I want to spend a year and a half out there on my own...I mean, without Rachel and the kids. I mean, I don’t see that much of them now as it is.
W: Yeah. Well, that’s the way it is normally in our company, I suppose.
M: Yeah. Well, we’ll see. Let me pay for the coffee.
W: No, no. I’ll pay.

W: Hello, everyone. Welcome to our program. I’m Jenny Jackson. The weather here in Juárez has become unbearable. With no rains for over a year, the city is suffering from unusually hot weather. Some light showers have been forecast since last month, but all of them have been effective in surrounding areas. Summer has not even started yet, but temperatures have reached 40 degrees centigrade in the past three days. And people have been warned not to go out of their homes — not if you walk on foot, at least — between 11 in the morning and 7 in the evening. Little kids and the elderly are the ones who have suffered the most from this extreme heat wave. They must drink water all the time. To help our audience have a better understanding of this extreme weather, we have invited Prof. Torres from University of Mexico to our studio this evening.

参考范文：
An increasing number of American teenagers use social media on a daily basis. While social media do have advantages, there are already facts and statistics indicating they bring about negative impacts on teenagers. (33 words)
Important tool as social media are, their negative influence can’t be neglected. First, when teens use social media, they are likely to have trouble concentrating on their schoolwork. Besides, too much time spent using social media may decrease their real life communication. What’s worse, constant exposure to the fantasy world tends to harm teens’ self-dignity and hence leads to a lack of self-confidence, let alone the unhealthy information.
In view of the above mentioned consequences, for teens, proper use of social media is a must. First, parents should well guide their kids and set a limit. Moreover, teens should bear in mind that study is a top priority and thus spend less time on social media. In conclusion, if made proper use of, social media can be of help rather than danger to teens.

There is something graceful about a well-made hurricane lamp, especially the antique ones.

I can remember 36 through countless flea markets for hurricane lamps, which are
37 to keep their light lit through the 38 of moments. Mom tried hard to buy the lamps

The Supreme Court’s decisions on physician-assisted suicide carry important implications for how medicine seeds to relieve dying patients of pain and suffering.
Although it ruled that there is no constitutional right to physician-assisted suicide, the Court in effect supported the medical principle of “double effects”, a centuries-old moral principle holding that an action having two effects----a good one that is intended and a harmful one that is foreseen---is permissible if the actor intends only the good effect.
Doctors have used that principle in recent years to justify using high doses of morphine to control terminally ill patients’ pain, even though increasing dosages will eventually kill the
patient.
Nancy Dubler, director of Montefiore Medical Center, contends that the principle will shield doctors who "until now have very, very strongly insisted that they could not give patients sufficient medication to control their pain if that might hasten death."
George Annas, chair of the health law department at Boston University, maintains that, as long as a doctor prescribes a drug for a legitimate medical purpose, the doctor has done nothing illegal even if the patient uses the drug to hasten death. "It's like surgery, " he says. “We don't call those deaths homicides because the doctors didn't intend to kill their patients, although they risked their death. If you're a physician, you can risk your patient's suicide as long as you don't intend their suicide."
On another level, many in the medical community acknowledge that the assisted-suicide debate has been fueled in part by the despair of patients for whom modern medicine has prolonged the physical agony（痛苦） of dying.
Just three weeks before the Court's ruling on physician-assisted suicide, the National Academy of Science (NAS) released a two-volume report, Approaching Death: Improving Care at the End of Life. It identifies the undertreatment of pain and the aggressive use of "ineffectual and forced medical procedures that may prolong and even dishonor the period of dying" as the twin problems of end-of-life care.
The profession is taking steps to require young doctors to train in hospices, to test knowledge of aggressive pain management therapies, to develop a Medicare billing code for hospital-based care, and to develop new standards for assessing and treating pain at the end of life.
Annas says lawyers can play a key role in insisting that these well-meaning medical initiatives translate into better care. “Large numbers of physicians seem unconcerned with the pain their patients are needlessly and predictably suffering,” to the extent that it constitutes “systematic patient abuse.” He says medical licensing boards “must make it clear ... that painful deaths are presumptively ones that are incompetently managed and should result in license
suspension（暂停）.”
From the first three paragraphs, we learn that
doctors used to increase drug dosages to control their patients' pain.
it is still illegal for doctors to help the dying end their lives.
the Supreme Court strongly opposes physician-assisted suicide.
patients have no constitutional right to commit suicide.
Which of the following statements is true according to the text?
Doctors will be held guilty if they risk their patients' death.
Modern medicine has assisted terminally ill patients in painless recovery.
The Court ruled that high-dosage pain-relieving medication can be prescribed.
A doctor's medication is no longer justified by his intentions.
Which of the following best defines the word “aggressive" (line 3, paragraph 7 ) ?
Bold. B. Harmful. C. Careless. D. Desperate.
George Annas would probably agree that doctors should be punished if they .
manage their patients incompetently B. give patients more medicine than needed
C. reduce drug dosages for their patients D. prolong the needless suffering of the patients
C
For an increasing number of students at American universities, Old is suddenly in. The reason is obvious: the graying of America means jobs, coupled with the aging of the baby-boom generation, a longer life span means that the nation’s elderly population is bound to expand significantly over the next 50 years. By 2050, 25 percent of all Americans will be older than 65, up from 14 percent in 1995.The change poses profound questions for government and society, of course. But it also creates career opportunities in medicine and health professions and in law and business as well. “In addition to the doctors, we’re going to need more sociologists, biologists, urban planners and specialized lawyers,” says Professor Edward Schneider of the University of
Southern California’s (USC) School of Gerontology（老年学）.
Lawyers can specialize in “elder law”, which covers everything from trusts and estates to nursing-home abuse and age discrimination. Businessmen see huge opportunities in the elder market because the baby boomers, 74 million strong, are likely to be the wealthiest group of retirees in human history. “Any student who combines an expert knowledge in gerontology with, say, an MBA or law degree will have a license to print money,” one professor says.
Margarite Santos is a 21-year-old senior at USC. She began college as a biology major but found she was “really bored with bacteria.” So she took a class in gerontology and discovered that she liked it. She says, “I did volunteer work in retirement homes and it was very satisfying.”
With the aging of America, lawyers can benefit .
from the adoption of the “elder law”
from presenting their professional services to the elderly
by enriching their professional knowledge
by winning the trust of the elderly to promote their own interests.
Who can make big money in the new century according to the passage?
Retirees who are business-minded. B. The volunteer workers in retirement homes.
college graduates with an MBA or law degree.
Professionals with a good knowledge of gerontology.
Why can businessmen gain profit in the emerging elder market?
Retirees are more generous in spending money.
They can employ more gerontologists.
The elderly possess an enormous purchasing power.
There are more elderly people working than before.
D
No one has a temper naturally so good, that it does not need attention and cultivation, and no one has a temper so bad, but that, by proper culture, it may become pleasant. One of the best disciplined tempers ever seen, was that of a gentleman who was naturally quick, irritable, rash,
and violent; but, by taking care of the sick, and especially of mentally deranged(疯狂的) people,
he so completely mastered himself that he was never known to be thrown off his guard.
There is no misery so constant, so upsetting, and so intolerable to others, as that of having a character which is your master. There are corners at every turn in life, against which we may run, and at which we may break out in impatience, if we choose.
Look at Roger Sherman, who rose from a humble occupation to a seat in the first Congress of the United States, and whose judgment was received with great respect by that body of distinguished men. He made himself master of his temper and cultivated it as a great business in life. There are one or two instances which show this part of his character in a light that is beautiful.
One day, after having received his highest honors, he was sitting and reading in his sitting room. A student, in a room close by, held a looking?glass in such a position as to pour the reflected rays of the sun directly in Mr Sherman's face. He moved his chair, and the thing was repeated. A third time the chair was moved, but the looking?glass still reflected the sun in his eyes. He laid aside his book, went to the window, and many witnesses of the rude behavior expected to see the ungentlemanly student severely punished. He raised the window gently, and then—shut the window blind!
I can not help providing another instance of the power he had acquired over himself. He was naturally possessed of strong passions, but over these he at length obtained an extraordinary control. He became habitually calm and self?possessed. Mr Sherman was one of those men who are not ashamed to maintain the forms of religion in their families. One morning he called them all together as usual to lead them in prayer to God. The “old family Bible” was brought out and laid on the table.
Mr Sherman took his seat an d placed beside him one of his children, a child of his old age. The rest of the family were seated around the room, several of whom were now grown?ups. Besides these, some of the tutors of the college were boarders in the family and were present at the time. His aged mother occupied a corner of the room, opposite the place where the distinguished Judge sat.
At length, he opened the Bible and began to read. The child who was seated beside him made some little disturbance, upon which Mr Sherman paused and told it to be still. Again he continued but again he had to pause to scold the little offender, whose playful character would scarcely permit it to be still. At this time he gently tapped its ear. The blow, if blow it might be
called, caught the attention of his aged mother, who now with some effort rose from the seat and tottered across the room. At length, she reached the chair of Mr Sherman, and in a moment, most unexpectedly to him, she gave him a blow on the ear with all the force she could gather. “There，”
said she, “you strike your child, and I will strike mine.”
For_a_moment,_the_blood_was_seen_mounting_to_the_face_of_Mr_Sherman. But it was only for a moment and all was calm and mild as usual. He paused; he raised his glasses; he cast his eye upon his mother; again it fell upon the book from which he had been reading. Not a word escaped him; but again he calmly pursued the service, and soon sought in prayer an ability to set an example before his household which should be worthy of their imitation. Such a victory was worth more than the proudest one ever achieved on the field of battle.
The following sentence should be put at the beginning of Paragraph ．
The difference in the happiness which is received by the man who governs his temper and that by the man who does not is dramatic（戏剧性的，巨大的）.
Two B. Three C. Four D. Five
How is the passage mainly developed?
By analyzing reasons. B. By giving examples.
C. By listing arguments. D. By comparing facts.
What was Roger Sherman's attitude towards his aged mother?
Grateful. B. Skeptical. C. Tolerant. D. Sympathetic.
What can we learn about Roger Sherman?
He came from a distinguished family background.
He was not good at displaying his true inner feelings.
He severely punished a student who didn't behave himself.
He was a man conscious of the consequences of his behavior.
What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?
Mr Sherman's face was covered with blood.
Mr Sherman was seeking strength in prayer.
Mr Sherman was then on the point of exploding.
Mr Sherman was ashamed of his mother's rude behavior.
Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
Control your temper B. Save your self?esteem
C. Mind your manners D. Treasure your Bible

The Key to the Relationship Between Creativity and Dishonesty
A new study by Lynne Vincent and Maryam Kouchaki demonstrates that believing that you are a creative entitlement can be costly for you and your organization as it can cause you to be dishonest.
Many organizations now are recognizing the importance of creativity and are attempting to encourage their employees to be creative. However, there is a cost to that creativity when creativity is seen as a rare and unique attribute(属性). The findings in this study are based on
several laboratory experiments, in addition to a study of employees and supervisor pairs.
While creativity is in most cases valued, such as other positive attributes including practicality or intelligence, it may be over-valued compared to those other positive attributes because creativity is by definition rare. That sense of rarity then creates a sense of entitlement. People see their creative efforts as special and valuable and feel that they are worthy of extra rewards for their creative efforts. That entitlement can cause them to steal in order to get the rewards.
However， it's naive to assume that employees in companies that have developed a strong
identity as creative, such as Apple, Google and IDEO, would be necessarily more dishonest due to their creativity "The key to the relationship between creativity and dishonesty is the sense of rarity," said Vincent. "When individuals identified themselves as creative and believed that creativity was rare, entitlement appeared. However, if individuals believed that creativity was common, that sense of entitlement was reduced. "
When people in the laboratory experiments believed that their creativity was rare compared to common. They were more likely to lie for money. However, when people believed that being practical was rare compared to common, the increased sense of psychological entitlement and dishonesty did not occur. The effect was seen in organizations too.
Although creativity is important in the business world, the dark side of creativity has only partly studied. However, as creativity is becoming more important for organizations, it is important for organizations to understand how to encourage creativity. Encouraging creativity in organizations is not as simple as telling employees to be creative. Defining what it means to be creative and what creativity means in that context is ant. When you define creativity in terms of being rare and valuable, seeing yourself as a creative person can entitlement and dishonesty. However, if organizations define creativity as a common and everyday behavior n attribute that many people can have, organizations may be able to encourage employee creativity without The Key to the Relationship Between Creativity and Dishonesty.
