Every year, I tell my sons what I'd like for mother's Day: a letter, something written from the heart and offered freely rather than bought from a store and wrapped neatly. I don't always get my wish, nor do I always take the time to write to my own mother.
This year, my boys will be in two different states on mother's Day. My mom and dad will be away together, and I'll be driving home from a writer's workshop in Massachusetts. Thinking of the fact that many friends have already lost their mothers and that a few have lost children, I am deeply grateful that what separates us, for now at least, is only distance. It won't always be so, and there is no way to prepare for that fact other than to appreciate the moment that is, My sons know that they can please me on Sunday with a phone call or an e-mail, and that is enough as I love their words. The very best gift they can possibly give me is their own happiness, the very fact of their busy, full and well-lived lives.
Still, knowing that my years of staying with my sons are over, I do feel doleful. The truth is, I miss

being the center of the universe to two little boys. And this holiday can be a bit painful.
I wonder if my own mother ever felt nostalgic (怀旧的,乡愁的) for the passing of my childhood. I wonder if she realizes that she is still at the center of my universe and always has been. I don't often pause to think about it, but of course she is the one who has been right there, at my side from the moment I drew my very first breath. How to ever fully appreciate the woman whose presence and love and example have shaped me into the adult I am? How to describe even a small part of the sharing, sacrificing, and support she has given me over the years?
25. The author mainly wants to tell us through the first paragraph that ______.
A. she hopes to get her sons’ letters very much.
B. her sons often write to her on mother's Day.
C. mother's Day is the very date that she looks forward to most.

Josh Katz works at the New York Times. His common job is to use information to tell interesting stories. In December 2013, Katz built a quiz on the Times website. It asked people about the words they use
由莲山课件提供http://www.5ykj.com/ 资源全部免费
由莲山课件提供http://www.5ykj.com/ 资源全部免费
to describe things and events. It also asked how they pronounced common words. The quiz then used people's answers to decide where in the United States they were from.
The quiz got more than 350, 000 results. Katz turned the results into a book. In Speaking American, he studies regional(区域的) differences in how Americans talk.
“A lot of people' s language shows who they are and where they are from, in a very personal way” Katz said.
Katz says people are often surprised to learn that the way they talk can show where they grew up. Most Americans don’t realize the use regionalisms ---or words and phrases specific to a particular part of the country. But just about everyone does. Almost every major U.S. city has a few unique terms. For example, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the night before Halloween is known as Mischief Night. Anyone who calls it that is likely to be connected to the city.
Katz himself was surprised by how many common words are regional. "There are a lot of words I use that I just thought were standard words, "he says. "Then I found out some of these words were actually a product of my upbringing(养育).”
For example, he says, "I thought everyone said‘ sneakers’(运动鞋) and not‘ tennis shoes’." But it turns out 'sneakers' is connected mostly to the Northeast. That' s where Katz is from.
Some scholars think that language in the U.S. is growing more homogeneous(同类的). But Katz disagrees. "These regional differences are here to stay” he says.
Not only are people still using common regionalisms, but there are new ones appearing all the time, according to Katz. There's no way to predict how language will change in the future. But Katz sees more change coming. "The only sure thing about language is that it's going to keep moving,” he says
29. What’ s the purpose of the quiz?
A. To test people on common knowledge.
B. To find out what words are mostly used.
C To help people learn about their hometown better
D. To see whether people’s language shows their backgrounds
30. How do most Americans look at their using regionalisms?
A. They are proud of it.

B. They do it unintentionally.
C. They find it quite interesting.
D. They have no idea why everybody does it.
31. Katz mentions“ sneakers” in paragraph 5 mainly to show ______.
A. it' s different from“ tennis shoes”
B. it’s an example of a standard word
C. his hometown is possibly the birthplace of it
D. many common words come from a specific area
32.What is Katz’s opinion on regional differences?
A. They will remain a part of people' s everyday life.
B. They prevent language from being homogeneous.
C. They have a bad influence on people’s life.
D. They will finally disappear in the future.

When women sit together to watch a movie on TV, they usually talk simultaneously(同时) about variety of subjects, including children, men, careers and what's happening in their lives. When groups of men and women watch a movie together, the men usually end up telling the women to shut up. Men can either talk or watch the screen ---they can't do both---and they don't understand that women can. Besides, women consider that the point of all getting together is to have a good time and develop relationships---not just to sit there like couch potatoes staring at the screen.
During the ad breaks, a man often asks a woman to explain the plot and tell him where the relationship between the characters is going. He is unable, unlike women, to read the subtle(微妙的,细微的) body language signals that show how the characters are feeling emotionally. Since women originally spent their days with the other women and children in the group, they developed the ability to communicate successfully in order to maintain relationships. For a woman, speech continues to have such a clear purpose: to build relationships and make friends. For men, to talk is to relate the facts.
Men see the telephone as a communication tool for sending facts and information to other people, but a
由莲山课件提供http://www.5ykj.com/ 资源全部免费
由莲山课件提供http://www.5ykj.com/ 资源全部免费
woman sees it as a means of bonding(黏合). A woman can spend two weeks on vacation with her girl friend and talk for another two hours.
There is no convincing evidence that social conditioning(训练，熏陶), the fact that girls' mothers talked to them more, is the reason why girls talk more than boys. Psychiatrist Dr. Michael Lewis, author of Social Behaviour and Language Acquisition, conducted experiments that found mothers talked to and looked at, baby girls more often than baby boys. Scientific evidence shows parents respond to the brain bias(偏好) of their children. Since a girl's brain is better organized to send and receive speech, we therefore talk to them more. Consequently, mothers who try to talk to their sons are usually disappointed to receive only short grunts(嘟哝声) in reply.
33. While watching TV with others, women usually talk a lot because they ______.
A. are afraid of uncomfortable silence with their families and friends
B. can both talk and watch the screen at the same time
C. think they can have a good time and develop relationships
D. have to explain the plot and body language to their husbands
34. After a vacation with her girlfriend, a woman would talk to her again on the phone for hours in order to ______.
A. keep a close tie with her
B. experience the happy time again
C. recommend her a new scenic spot
D. remind her of something forgotten
35. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Women Are Socially Trained to Talk
B. Talking Maintains Relationships
C. Women Love to Talk
D. Men Talk Differently from Women

Ways to Work Smarter, Not Harder
No matter how hard we work, it seems that there is never enough time to get all the important tasks done. Rather than working longer, consider working smarter, not harder. Here are some ways to work smarter.
Make a careful plan. Just like every organization needs a business plan, an efficient worker needs a work plan. 36 . Schedule your tasks throughout the days, weeks, and months, but do it ahead of time.
Set your goals. As a part of your work plan, you should set clear and meaningful goals. Goals should state which tasks are to be completed and when they get completed. Rather than setting firm deadlines, which can lead to pressure and stress, allow a period of time to reach goals. 37 .
38 . Develop a consistent daily work schedule and stick to it! If a typical workday consists of some writing tasks (e-mails, reports), one-on-one meetings, and processing data, set aside specific time each day to accomplish each kind of task.
Delegate(分派工作) effectively. 39 . The person who tries to do everything himself or herself not only is overloaded and overstressed, but it is bad for their colleagues by not allowing them to be challenged and grow by taking on important duties.
Don't make work harder than it actually is. Much of the pressure is produced by ourselves. 40 . We feel like we should do more. Remember that tasks should be completed step by step. Focus on each step rather than on the entire project, which can help us cut down on feelings that we are overwhelmed(应接不暇).
A. Stick to your plan.
B. We set unrealistic goals or standards for ourselves.
C. Also, take time to reward yourself for achieving a goal.
D. Organize your workday.
E. We cannot expect to complete the tasks quickly.
F. Learn which tasks can be delegated and which need personal attention.
G. It is a well-thought-out plan to help guide and direct work activities.

The first time I noticed this phenomenon was a few years ago, in St Peter’s Basilica in Rome--- a crowd of people standing round Michelangelo's Pieta, taking photos with their cameras and mobile phones. Then last week I saw it 41 at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
At first, I wasn’t too 42 when I saw people 43 the paintings. It was a bit annoying, 44 that was all. It did’ t really make me 45 . Then the sad 46 hit me. Most of the people were taking photos without looking at the 47 themselves. People around were 48 me, not because they were trying to get a better view of the 49 , but because they 50 to make sure that no one blocked (挡住) their photo. Was it possible that perhaps they were taking the photos so that they could admire the paintings better 51 they got home? This was very 52 . They were not there to 53 the paintings, but to take photos to 54 that they had been there.
Then it got 55 . Now people were taking photos of their friends who were posing in front of some of the most well-known paintings. Neither the photographers nor the person they were photographing had 56 the art itself, 57 I saw that sometimes they 58 the label(标签), to make sure that the artist really was 59 . At least nobody asked me to take a picture of them together, smiling in front of a Picasso!
I think that photography in museums should be 60 , but I also have a less drastic (严厉的) solution. I think that people who want to take a photo of a painting should be forced to look at it first, for at least one minute.

The work behind them not only 63 ( prove) that humans can replicate(复制) machine-like functions at the molecular level, but has opened up an 64 (entire) new field for molecular machinery.

Dear Issac,
I remember you are interested in teaching in China. Recently I have heard that our school now is looking for a native-speaker to teach some courses, which are related to spoken and written English. And the courses are intended for local students in senior grade one. If you accept our teaching offer, you will be allowed flexibility in organizing your syllabus, and teaching 15 hours a week. Your guaranteed wage would be 200 RMB per hour. The students who are going to take these courses have at least six years of English learning experience. Besides, you would also work as an adviser for either our Students English club or the Students English Newspaper Department. The choice would be yours.
Please let me know if you are interested or if you have any other questions. I'd be more than happy to help.
Best regards, Li Hua

M: Tina, are you coming to band practice this week? Our show is this Friday, only two
days away!(8)(10)
W: Yes, I'm coming tonight. I didn't come last week because my guitar was broken.(9)
M: Did you fix your guitar? My sister has a new guitar you can probably borrow if your
guitar is still broken. (10)
W: Thanks, but I can only play music on my guitar because it's a left-handed guitar, . it's for
people who use their left hands for most things. I fixed my guitar on Monday night. But I
haven't practiced for three weeks! I hope I remember how to play all our songs.
M: Why didn't you fix it sooner? We only have two days until our show.(10)
W: I've been so busy this month! I have to work at the grocery store and watch my little sister

W: Hi, are you Don? I'm Lynn. I saw the advertisement you put on the Internet about
selling your car.(11)
M: Hi, Lynn. Nice to meet you. Thanks for your interest. Here's my car. It's a 2006 Honda
Civic. I took a lot of road trips in it! It is not perfect, but it is safe to drive and it has new
tires.If you like it, you can pay for it and drive it home today.
W: Is anything broken?
M: The radio is broken and the heater is broken, (13) but the air conditioner works well
W: Oh, in the advertisement you said everything worked well. I think you should lower the
price because the radio and the heater are broken. If you don't lower the price, I
don't think I want to buy it. (12)(13)
M: Sorry, but I'm not lowering the price. it's a very safe car, even if the radio is broken.
Would you like to drive the car so you can see if you like it?
W: No, thank you. I am too worried something else is broken. The price is too high. Call me
if you decide to lower the price

W: My mom thinks that we should name the baby after her.(14) What do you think?
M: I think your mom is a little too selfish! Plus, I don' t really think "Betty Bettson"
sounds like a name I'd want to have(14)
W: OK. I just had to ask. I didn't like the idea much, either. I really love the name Laura, though.
M: That’s nice. But I think we should give her a really strong name so she's tough (15)
How about Helga or Josephine?
W: Those names make me think of unattractive women! Helga sounds like a lady who could
carry me under her arm!
M: That's the idea. I don't want anyone thinking they can mess with my daughter. I want her
to be able to stand up to people, especially any boys who might try to look at her.
W:I don't think a name has that much power, dear.(16)

M: OK. I see your point. I'll just have to take care of the boys myself. I know this baby is
going to be beautiful!
W: That's right. Let,'s not give her an ugly name! How about something more elegant, like Victoria?(17)
M: I like that! (17)

is to help students practice the values of respect, responsibility, service, and honesty on a daily
