Australians Australians are merry people who spend a lot of time outdoors. They enjoy a slower life. They laugh a lot but sometimes people think they are loud and rude.

Germans Germans are often described as being serious and careful. They are hard workers and pay a lot of attention to details. However, sometimes people say Germans have no sense of humour.

All these national types can be true for some people, but very wrong for others. For example, you might meet a German who is a confident singer with a great sense of humour, or an Australian who is shy and quiet.

Ma Hua graduated from Fudan University. He had a good career in IT and a great life in Shanghai, but he felt there was something missing from his life. He wanted to help others to improve their lives, so in March 2003 he gave up his job. Then he moved to south-west China to do voluntary work in a village primary school.

He soon became an important member of the local people. In his class, he painted pictures on the walls to help students remember English words. He also spent his money building a playground for the children.

Ma Hua quickly got used to his new life. He got great satisfaction from his work and felt very happy, even though life there was hard---he had to melt(融化) ice for water and grow vegetables for food. When he was free, he wrote poems describing the peace and beauty around him. Sometimes he would go walking in the mountains and enjoy the beautiful view.

Sadly Ma Hua was killed in a car accident in July 2004 at the age of 31. His death was a great loss to all those who knew him, but it is a comfort to know that he lived happily, doing what he loved and enriching the lives of others.

There is an old saying that all of us are born with two bags hung on our necks. A small bag in front of our chest is filled up with other people's faults (缺点), while the big one at the back is full of our own shortcomings (短处). So it’s easy to find other people's faults, but it's hard for us to see our faults behind us.

There was a boy, Tommy, who always opened the front bag to check what was in it. He saw other people's faults very quickly. When Simon was impatient with him, he said to Simon, "It's so easy for you to get angry. It is hard to be friends with you."

He told his mother about Jack's dishonesty. "Jack takes my things without asking. He also forgets to return them." Tommy himself did not like sharing his things with anyone.

When Johnny was too tired to play with him, he said, "'You are such a rude person."

He thought Harry was too proud of his rich parents. But Tommy was as proud of himself because he could not see any of his own shortcomings! He could not understand why he did not get on well with others.

If only Tommy would switch the bags around, he would discover his own impatience, dishonesty, bad manners and vanity (虚荣), which were no better than that of Simon, Jack, Johnny or Harry. 26. Tommy thought it was hard to be friends with Simon because Simon was _________.

A. impatient B. a rude person

C. dishonest D. too proud of his rich parents

27. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?

A. Tommy was a person liked by others.

B. Tommy liked sharing his things with others.

C. Tommy always discovered his own shortcoming.

D. Maybe Tommy was no better than Simon, Jack, Johnny or Harry.

28. In this passage, the writer mainly wanted to tell us ________.

A. to be more patient

B. not to be a person with vanity

C. not to take others' things without asking

D. to pay more attention to our own shortcomings

Do you know that it is your immune system (免疫系统) working against the virus that makes you uncomfortable when getting a cold, but not the virus itself? So when you have got a strong immune system—and the virus is strong enough too—you will possibly get terrible cold symptoms (症状) such as having a headache, having a high fever, sneezing or coughing,

Vitamin C won't stop a cold. It is said that Vitamin C works by increasing white blood cells.

However, many tests have shown that it does not prevent colds. At best, it only reduces the time of symptoms.

Staying indoors won't protect you. One of the most likely sources (根源) of cold viruses is your computer mouse or desk. A study of the cold virus in offices found that 46 per cent of computer mice and 45 per cent of telephones had cold viruses on them.

Wearing warm clothes won't protect you. Colds are more common in autumn and winter. That's because the cool, wet and cold weather drives people indoors, where viruses may more easily jump from one person to the next. And the distinct peak (高峰期) in colds is in September and February, which likely because of the return of students to schools and colleges after the summer and winter holidays.

Old wives are right about chicken soup. Grandmothers' chicken soup is an old cure for colds for a long 6me. Scientists say it is true. Chicken soup does help cure a cold, so many wives usually cook chicken soup for their family members in cold winters.

29. According to the passage, when your immune system is working against the virus, you don't have cold symptoms like ________.

A. headache B. stomachache C. sneeze D. cough

30. Which of the following ways can really help cure colds?

A. Staying indoors.

Five years after they disappeared, lost jewels belonging to the wife of a US ambassador to the Netherlands were found.

Dawn Arnall had already received an insurance payout for her loss. However, the misplaced jewels had been found and held for safe keeping by a hotel she stayed in. Staff were unaware that the jewels were worth $ 9m. The world is full of forgetful people. A man in the English town of Reading even left a sausage casserole in a bus. The dish ended up in the Lost Property Office until it was recovered by his mother, eager for her dinner. A walker in the Lake District had his food in his mouth but ... , what about his teeth? After climbing a hill in 2007, David Packer stopped for a chocolate bar. He took his false teeth out, wrapped them up in a tissue and just forgot about them. It took more than a year for the walker to be reunited with them.

But if you find something and can't find the rightful owner, is it finders keepers? It depends on what's found and how, says John Spencer, professor of law at the University of Cambridge.

If it's a larger sum, you should report it to the police but if the item has been abandoned, the property is yours. One man's loss is another man's gain!

One retired high school teacher in Canada has a great surprise for his former students that is 20 years in the making.

In 1994, Bruce Farrer's ninth grade English class at Bert Fox Community High School in Saskatchewan, got a special task, reported the National Post. Farrer asked his students to write a 10-page letter to their future selves, which he then promised to mail to them 20 years later. Farrer kept his promise to those students, as well as other students he taught during his more than 40-year career.

Although Farrer retired in 2002, he took several boxes of the letters from his former students with him, and began the long and difficult process of tracking them down and mailing the letters.

B. Find the rightful owner. D. Report it to the police.

One former student, Scott Fulton, became a teacher himself and even taught for a while at the high school he went to as a teenager, according to CBC News. He got his letter last week. "I was just feeling honored and grateful," Fulton said after receiving the handwritten letter.

Another former student, DJ Anardi, got the letter from his past self about a month ago. It read "Hey, you good-looking guy, how is your life?" according to the National Postwoman at the time who is now his wife.

"I think our society now is a society of non-commitment," Farrer said. " We say we're going to do something, whether it's in a marriage, or with our kids or maybe even with our organizations we join... I think it's important to have a sense of commitment, and maybe in a minor way, the kids see I value that. " 24. Farrer promised his students that he would A. grade the tasks carefully

Many people think that if you're a Latino (美籍拉丁美洲人) then you're not an American. Some people assume that Latinos have green cards and that their English is not good. What they don't realize is that people are all the same.

I'm a Puerto Rican (波多黎各人). I had lived in Florida for nine years before my family moved to Ohio, where we have been living since then. When my mother and I went to school to enroll (注册), the secretary asked my mother for a green card. My mother told the lady she didn't have a green card because she's an American. The woman didn't believe her and started to argue. My mother had to homeschool my sister and me for a year. That we look like Hispanics doesn't mean we are not Americans. We have the right to a good education.

Things like that happen almost every day. For example, when I was walking through the mall, a lady selling books came up to me and started talking. I stood there, listening, but suddenly she stopped and said, "Oh, I'm sorry! Do you speak English?" In a clear voice, I said, "Yeah, aren't I speaking it now?" And then I walked away. Now I feel that every person believes I don't speak English and only know Spanish. The lady should have approached me differently. She should have said, "Hello, sir. How are you today?" or "Would you like to see what I'm selling?" instead of coming up to me and talking nonstop.

I want people to know that we are all the same. No matter what ethnic（种族的） group we come from or no

matter what background we have, we all have the right to be treated the same — with respect. 28. Why did the secretary ask the writer's mother for a green card? A. Because she wanted to get a green card very much.

B. Because she didn't believe the writer's mother is an American. C. Because the writer's mother homeschooled her children. D. Because all Americans had to show their green cards at school. 29. What did the writer think the lady selling books should do to him? A. Treat him like other Americans. B. Talk to him in Spanish directly. C. Come up to him and talk nonstop. D. Avoid approaching and talking to him.

30. How does the writer present Latinos' situation in America? A. By giving examples. B. By making comparison. C. By analyzing the reasons. D. By reporting the results of surveys.

31. It can be concluded from the passage that in America Latin-Americans are A. well known B. less educated C. well respected D. often misunderstood

When Bill de Blasio ran for New York City mayor in October, 2014, he promised to end a controversial, citywide cell phone ban in public schools, which is not equally enforced(实施) in all schools. Now, under his leadership, the city is preparing to end the ban. It will be replaced by a policy that allows cell phones inside schools but tells students to keep them packed away during class.

Many schools have a rule about enforcing the ban that says,“If we don't see it, we don't know about it.” That means teachers are OK with students bringing in cell phones, as long as they stay out of sight and inside bags and pockets.

But at the 88 city schools with metal detectors, the ban has been strictly enforced. The detectors were installed to keep weapon out of schools, but the scanners can also detect cell phones. So students at these schools must leave their phones at home or pay someone to store it for them.

The ban was put into place in 2007 under mayor Michael Bloomberg. Ending the ban will also likely end an industry that has sprung up near dozens of the schools that enforce the ban.Workers in vans (厢式货车) that resemble food tracks store teens' cell phones and other devices(设备) for a dollar a day.

Critics(批评家) of the ban say cell phones are important safety devices for kids during an emergency. They also say that enforcement of the ban is uneven and discriminatory. Where the ban is enforced, it puts a dis- advantage on students who can't afford to pay to store their phones.

32. What did Bill de Blasio promise to do when he ran for the Mayor of New York?

A. To build more public schools in New York. B. To make sure the students are equally treated. C. To create more job opportunities for the citizens.

D. To allow students in New York to carry cell phones.

33. What is the teacher's attitude toward students bringing cell phones to school?

A. Tolerant. B. Doubtful. C. Concerned. D. Supportive. 34. Why are detectors installed in the 88 city schools?

A. To prevent students carrying food to the school. B. To keep thieves from stealing from the school. C. To stop students carrying weapons to the school. D. To monitor how students are behaving in school. 35. What is the last paragraph mainly about?

A. How to make sure of the safety of the students in school. B. How to get rid of discrimination among students. C. The disadvantages of banning cell phones in schools. D. Different opinions on how to use cell phones in schools.

Unit 1

Active reading (1)

Looking for a job after university? First, get off the sofa

Background information

About the passage: This is an article by an Education Correspondent, Alexandra Blair, published in September 2008 in The Times, a long-established British quality newspaper. In Europe

generally, and in Britain in particular, for a number of years there has been a rising number of students who go to university and therefore more new graduates seeking employment. However, for many graduates finding a job became harder in 2008–2009 because the economic downturn – then a recession – meant that many employers were reducing their workforce. After their final exams, some students rested in the summer before looking for jobs and then they found that it was difficult to find employment in their field or at the level they wanted. The article addresses the problems of such new graduates who might be stuck at home and advises their parents to be there for their children (ie to be available if their children want to talk about the problem or if they need help). The article recommends finding work in a bar or supermarket rather than sitting

unemployed at home since this is more likely to lead to better employment later. The style is partly of a report, but also of a humorous comment for light entertainment (seen in the jokey language and problem-solving advice to parents).

Why finding a job in 2008 is so difficult for university graduates?

Universities in Europe, particularly in Britain, have expanded greatly in the last fifteen years (over 45% of young adults now go on to higher education), so there are more graduates looking for jobs. This competitive situation became a lot worse in 2008 onwards with the credit crunch and economic depression, which meant

that there were fewer jobs available and a rise in unemployment. Thus new graduates have to be active to seek a job, they need to fill in many application forms and try to get job interviews: they won‘t find employment by lying on the sofa at home.

Culture points

honours degree: Traditionally, in the British university system, BA and BSc honours degrees are awarded in different categories: a first class degree (written using Roman numbers as I), a second (divided into two subcategories, written as IIii and IIii, which are called ―a two one‖ and ―a two two‖), a third (written III) and a pass degree. Most people get a second. There are also ordinary degrees with more general courses of study without these categories.

Generation Y and Grunt: The main idea here is that there is a succession of different generations or cohorts of adults who come into the workforce in North America which are given different informal names to characterize them. First, ―Baby boomers‖ were born in the great increase (the boom) of births after World War II (1946–1960), followed by ―Generation X‖ people (born

1960–1980) who were said to bring new attitudes of being independent, informal, entrepreneurial, and expected to get skills and have a career before them. ―GenerationY‖ or the ―Millenial

Generation‖ (born 1980s and 1990s and becoming adult in the new millenium) are now making up an increasing percentage of the workforce; they are said to be spoilt by doting parents, to have structured lives, to be used to teamwork and diverse people in a multicultural society. In the passage, this generation is now becoming (morphing into) Generation Grunt, which is an ironic

name referring to repetitive, low status, routine or mindless work – this may be the only work available to some graduates, who may have to take very ordinary jobs to get experience before they find something more suitable. ―Grunt‖ also refers to coarse behaviour or bad manners and to the deep sound that is made by a pig; when people ―grunt‖ they express disgust but do not communicate with words – this may be how the parents of new graduates think their children communicate with them!

A comprehensive refers to a British type of secondary school which became popular in the1960s. Before that there were academic ―grammar schools‖ and more general ―secondary modern‖ schools for those who did not pass the grammar school entrance tests, but the comprehensive

schools were designed for all students in a social philosophy of bringing diverse students together whether they were academic or not. Those students who went to a comprehensive school probably felt that had to study particularly hard (I worked my backside off) to get to university, compared to those who went to grammar schools where all students were academic –comprehensive students felt they had to struggle to get to university.

Chicken suit This refers to a large yellow costume that someone wears which makes the person look like a giant chicken. Before he became a famous actor, Brad Pitt once dressed in such a

costume when he had a job advertising for a restaurant called El Pollo Loco (The Crazy Chicken‘ in Spanish) – the job meant that he had to walk around the streets like a chicken to attract customers to come to the restaurant.

Language points

1 Those memories of forking out thousands of pounds a year so that he could eat well and go to the odd party, began to fade. Until now. (Para 1)

The parents paid a lot of money for their son‘s university fees and living expenses (so that he could eat well) and for occasional social events – at graduation these memories of money were mostly forgotten because the parents were proud. But now the parents are thinking of money again because the son doesn‘t have a job and doesn‘t seem to be actively seeking one.

2 This former scion of Generation Y has morphed overnight into a member of Generation Grunt. (Para 2)

The distinguished son of Generation X (of the parents‘ generation who worked hard, got jobs, and had good careers and expected their son to do the same) has changed into a member of Generation Grunt – he doesn‘t seem to communicate much, lies around and doesn‘t get a job (or can only do a low status routing job).

3 I passed the exams, but at the interviews they accused me of being ?too detached? and

talking in language that was ?too technocratic?, which I didn?t think possible, but obviously it is. (Para 5)

He passed the entrance exams for a government post, but he was criticized in the selection

interviews: They said he was detached (not personally involved) and too technocratic (he used the language of a technical expert or high authority). As a new graduate he probably wanted to show his expertise in his language so he can‘t understand this criticism.

4 For the rest it is 9-to-5 “chilling” before heading to the pub. (Para 6)

The others who do not have a routine low status job (like stacking goods on a supermarket shelf) chill out all day (they spend their time casually relaxing – they don‘t look for work) and go to pub for a drink in the evening.

5 I went to a comprehensive and I worked my backside off to go to a good university …(Para

He went to a school for students of all abilities (not to a special school for academic students) and so he had to work very hard to enter a good university: Your backside means your bottom – the part of your body that you sit on – to work your backside off is informal and it means you work very hard indeed.

6 … but having worked full-time since leaving school herself, she and her husband find it tricky to advise him on how to proceed. (Para 7)

The mother has always had a full-time job (presumably the father is also working full-time), so she does not have relevant personal experience. For her, it is tricky to give advice (difficult to do). 7 Carry on life as normal and don?t allow them to abuse your bank account or sap your reserve of emotional energy. (Para 11)

The advice from Gael Lindenfield here is that parents should live as usual. They should neither let theirchildren spend the parents‘ money unnecessarily, nor let the problem take away all their energy and emotions. Sap their reserve means use up their store of emotional energy.

8 After that the son or daughter needs to be nudged firmly back into the saddle. (Para 12) Then the parents should gently push their children firmly so that they get back into control of their lives.

2 How does he spend a typical day?

(a) Doing a temporary job.

(No, some of his friends are working in temporary jobs but he doesn‘t want to do this.)

(No, he doesn‘t seem to be preparing for interviews.)

3 How do most of his friends spend the day?

(a) They do nothing all day and go to the pub in the evening.

his trip.)

5 What does Gael Lindenfield say about Jack‘s parents?

(a) They have not really understood Jack‘s problems.

(No, she says they must balance comfort with being positive. This doesn‘t necessarily mean that they have already made life too comfortable for Jack.)

(She says they have struck exactly the right note.)

(d) They need help from a psychologist.

(No, she doesn‘t say this.)

6 What do Whoopi Goldberg, Bruce Willis and Brad Pitt have in common?
