Two things changed my life: my mother and a white plastic bike basket. I have thought long and hard about
it and it’s true. I would be a different person if my mom hadn’t turned a silly bicycle accessory into a life lesson I
carry with me today.
My mother and father were united in their way of raising children, but it mostly fell to my mother to actually
carry it out. Looking back, I honestly don’t know how she did it. Managing the family budget must have been a
very hard task, but she made it look effortless. If we complained about not having what another kid did, we’d hear
something like, “I don’t care what so-and-so got for his birthday, you are not getting a TV in your room / a car for
your birthday / a lavish sweet-16 party.” We had to earn our allowance(零 用钱) by doing chores around the
house. I can still remember how long it took to polish the legs of our coffee table. My brothers can no doubt
remember hours spent cleaning the house. Like the two little girls growing up at the White House, we made our
own beds (no one left the house until that was done) and picked up after ourselves. We had to keep track of our
belongings, and if something was lost, it was not replaced.
It was summer and, one day, my mother drove me to the bike shop to get a tire fixed — and there it was in
the window. White, shiny, plastic and decorated with flowers, the basket winked at me and I knew — I knew — I
had to have it.
“It’s beautiful,” my mother said when I pointed it out to her. “What a neat basket.”
I tried to hold off at first. I played it cool for a short while. But then I guess I couldn’t stand it any longer:
“Mom, please can I please, please get it? I’ll do extra chores for as long as you say. I’ll do anything, but I need
that basket. I love that basket. Please, Mom. Please?”
I was desperate.第 5 页
“You know,” she said, gently rubbing my back while we both stared at what I believed was the coolest thing
ever, “If you save up you could buy this yourself.”
“By the time I make enough it’ll be gone!”
“Maybe Roger here could hold it for you,” she smiled at Roger, the bike guy.
“He can’t hold it for that long, Mom. Someone else will buy it. Please, Mom, please?”
“There might be another way,” she said.
And so our paying plan unfolded. My mother bought the beautiful basket and put it safely in some hiding
place I couldn’t find. Each week I eagerly counted my growing savings increased by extra work here and there
(washing the car, helping my mother make dinner, delivering or collecting things on my bike that already looked
naked without the basket in front). And then, weeks later, I counted, re-counted and jumped for joy. Oh, happy
day! I made it! I finally had the exact amount we’d agreed upon...
Days later the unthinkable happened. A neighborhood girl I’d played with millions of times appeared with
the exact same basket fixed to her shiny, new bike that already had all the bells and whistles. I rode hard and fast
home to tell my mother about this disaster. This horrible turn of events.
And then came the lesson I’ve taken with me through my life: “Honey, your basket is extra-special,” Mom
said, gently wiping away my hot tears. “Your basket is special because you paid for it yourself.”

Bad news sells. If it bleeds, it leads. No news is good news, and good news is no news. Those are the classic
rules for the evening broadcasts and the morning papers. But now that information is being spread and monitored
in different ways, researchers are discovering new rules. By tracking people’s e-mails and online posts, scientists
have found that good news can spread faster and farther than disasters and sob stories.
“The ‘if it bleeds’ rule works for mass media,” says Jonah Berger, a scholar at the University of
Pennsylvania. “They want your eyeballs and don’t care how you’re feeling. But when you share a story with your
friends, you care a lot more how they react. You don’t want them to think of you as a Debbie Downer.”
Researchers analyzing word-of-mouth communication — e-mails, Web posts and reviews, face-to-face
conversations — found that it tended to be more positive than negative, but that didn’t necessarily mean people
preferred positive news. Was positive news shared more often simply because people experienced more good
things than bad things? To test for that possibility, Dr. Berger looked at how people spread a particular set of news
stories: thousands of articles on The New York Times’ website. He and a Penn colleague analyzed the “most e-
mailed” list for six months. One of his first findings was that articles in the science section were much more likely
to make the list than non-science articles. He found that science amazed Times’ readers and made them want to
share this positive feeling with others.
Readers also tended to share articles that were exciting or funny, or that inspired negative feelings like anger
or anxiety, but not articles that left them merely sad. They needed to be aroused one way or the other, and they
preferred good news to bad. The more positive an article, the more likely it was to be shared, as Dr. Berger
explains in his new book, “Contagious: Why Things Catch On.”
62.What do the classic rules mentioned in the text apply to?
A. News reports. B. Research papers. C. Private e-mails. D. Daily conversations.
63.What can we infer about people like Debbie Downer?
A. They’re socially inactive.
B. They’re good at telling stories.
C. They’re inconsiderate of others.
D. They’re careful with their words.
64.Which tended to be the most e-mailed according to Dr. Berger’s research?
A. Sports news. B. Science articles. C. Personal accounts. D. Financial reviews.
65.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Sad Stories Travel Far and Wide
B. Online News Attracts More People
C. Reading Habits Change with the Times
D. Good News Beats Bad on Social Networks

Long ago, poems were recited out loud instead of being written down. Back when the Greeks first started the
Olympics, they held poetry contests as well as athletic competitions.
Now, poetry competitions have been revived. This year 120,000 high school students competed in the first
Poetry Out Loud national recitation contest, performing poems from memory for $100,000 in prizes.
The first competitions were held in classrooms. The winners went on to schoolwide contests, and then they
competed in city and state competitions, and then the 50 state champions, along with the District of Columbia
champion, came to Washington, D. C., last week for the last showdown(对决). After the 51 champions competed
against one another,12 went on to the finals. Then the field was narrowed to five. The final five had one last
chance to “perform” a poem. The overall champ, Jackson Hille, a high school senior from Ohio, won a $20,000 第 7 页
scholarship.
The National Endowment for the Arts and the Poetry Foundation started Poetry Out Loud because they
realized that hearing a poem performed is a different experience from reading it on the page.
It’s not just a matter of saying the words in the right order. It’s the tone of voice, the pauses, the gestures, and
the attitude of the person performing that bring the words to life. “Each time we hear somebody recite a poem, we
understand again what we found fresh and interesting about it,” says National Public Radio broadcaster Scott
Simon, master of ceremonies for the finals. Hearing it in a new voice offers something new to the listener.
Not only do the people hearing poems have a new experience, memorizing and presenting poems helps the
participants understand those poems in a new way. Another benefit of a competition such as Poetry Out Loud is
that the participants learn public-speaking skills that can help them for life.
66. From the first paragraph, we can know _______.
A. the Greeks were the first to write poems
B. the Olympics used to start with poem reciting
C. poems were spread orally in the past
D. athletes were asked to recite poems before competing
67. How many rounds of competitions did the champions take before they went to Washington, D. C.?
A. Three. B. Four. C. Five. D. Six.
68. According to the passage, hearing a poem recited in a new voice can _______.
A. bring a new life to listeners
B. help listeners find their interest
C. make listeners learn the words
D. offer something new to listeners
69. One benefit the participants get from a competition such as Poetry Out Loud is that they can _______.
A. become confident while speaking in public
B. write good poems themselves
C. change their attitudes towards life
D. make friends with many great poets
70. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. Reciting poems improves your memory
B. Remembering a lot of poems is fun
C. Poets have a great time
D. Poetry rocks the microphone

In college, Spring Break (春假) is usually associated with the beach, parties and sleepless nights, bringing
about relaxation, free time and friends. Students who wish to spend their break doing something productive and
rewarding, however, may choose to participate in the Alternative Break Program. It places college students in
communities both at home and abroad.
The Program allows students to take part in various projects dealing with issues such as literacy (识字),
homelessness and the environment. It includes helping kids with their lessons, raising money for families in need
and collecting data for environmental research.
The hope is that, by getting themselves involved in different environments, students will have the
opportunity to learn about members of communities and broaden their view. In turn, they will incorporate (融合)
their experiences and lessons learned into their own communities. In a word, the Program aims to encourage
students to be active citizens and engage themselves in making a difference in society.第 8 页

trips to New Orleans, India and the Dominican Republic, “I was a student who went on alternative break trips and
had my life totally transformed by that experience,” she said, “Every year, we meet many students who have
attended the Program. You can see changes in their life that are connected with their alternative break
experience.”
The Program began in 1991. Today, it has become increasingly popular with college students in the United States.
