Johnny 28 and ran outside, determined never to go to another dance.
The next Saturday, Alcide drove to Johnny' s house for some potatoes.He happened to hear Johnny playing the accordion.Alcide' s eyes 29 "Bring that accordion and play some songs tonight,"Alcide said.Then he drove off, leaving Johnny staring open-mouthed 30 him.
At the Club,Johnny scanned the crowd for Lisette and 31 her.The band played for a long time before Alcide said," Dear friends, I got a 32 for you tonight.Young Johnny is going to join us!"
Trembling ,Johnny stepped up on the platform, his eyes on the floor.He began to play, and the band joined in behind him.When the song ended, he heard cheers.Johnny kept playing until the dance was 33 ." You did a fine job tonight.Play with us again next Saturday night," Alcide said."Yes, sir!"

When did you last see a polar bear? On a trip to a zoo, perhaps? If you had attended a winter activity in New York a few years ago, you would have seen a whole polar bear club. These " Polar Bears" are people who meet frequently in winter to swim in freezing cold water. That day, the air temperature was 3℃, and the water temperature was a bit higher. The members of the Polar Bear Club at Coney Island, New York are usually about the age of 60. Members must satisfy two require-ments. First, they must get along well with everyone else in the group. This is very important because there are so many different kinds of people in the club. Polar Bears must also agree to swim outdoors at least twice a month from November through February.
Doctors do not agree about the medical effects of cold-water swimming. Some are worried about the dangers of a condition in which the body´ s temperature drops so low that finally the heart stops.
Other doctors, however, point out that there is more danger of a heart attack during summer swimming because the difference between the air temperature and water temperature is much greater in summer than in winter.
The Polar Bears themselves are satisfied with the benefits (or advantages)of cold-water swim-ming. They say that their favorite form of exercise is very good for the circulatory system(循环系统)because it forces the blood to move fast to keep the body warm. Cold-water swimmers usually turn bright red after a few minutes in the water. A person who turns blue probably has a very poor circula-tory system and should not try cold-water swimming.
The main benefits ( or advantages) of cold-water swimming are probably mental. The Polar Bears love to swim year-round; they find it fun and relaxing. As one 70-year-old woman says, "When I go into the water, I pour my troubles into the ocean and let them float away. "
The passage is mainly about .
A.
a group of cold-water-swimming lovers
B.
the Polar Bears' life in New York
C.
doctors' ideas about cold-water swimming
D.

Every Chinese-language textbook starts out with the standard phrases (短语)for greeting peo-ple; but as an Ameri can, I always found myself unable to speak freely when it came to seeing guests off at the door. Just a good-bye would not do, yet that was all I had ever learned from the terrible books. So I would smile and nod, bowing(鞠躬)like a Japanese and searching madly for words that would smooth over the visitor´ s leaving and make them feel they would be welcome to come again. In my unease, I often hid behind the skirts of my Chinese husband´ s kindness.
Then finally, listening to others, I began to pick up the phrases that eased relationships and sent people off not only successfully but also skillfully.
Partings for the Chinese include a lot of necessary habitual practice. Although I´ m not expected to observe or even know all the rules, as a foreigner, I´ ve had to learn the expressions of politeness and protest( 抗议, 反对) at a leaving-taking.
The Chinese feel they must see a guest off to the farthest possible point-down the flight of stairs to the street below or perhaps all the way to the nearest bus stop. I´ ve sometimes waited half an hour or more for my husband to return from seeing a guest off, since he´ s gone to the bus stop and waited for the next bus to arrive.
That´s very well, but when I´m the guest being seen off, my protests are always useless. My hostess or host, or both, insists on seeing me down the stairs and well on my way, with my repeating the "Don´t bother( give the trouble)to see me off" at every landing. If I try to go fast to discourage them from following, they are simply out to the discomfort of having to run after me. Better to accept the inevitable ( 不可避免的 ).
Besides, that´ s going against Chinese custom, because haste ( doing things quickly) is to be avoided. What do you say when you part from someone? "Go slowly. " Not farewell or Godspeed (祝福), but "Go slowly". To the Chinese it means "Take care" or "Watch your step", or some such cau- tion ,but translated literally(照字面地) it means "Go slowly".
According to the passage all of the following are necessary in the Chinese partings except
A.
seeing the guests off to the farthest point
B.
protesting again and again
C.
running after the guests
D.
saying "Go slowly"

Popular British author, Charles Dickens´ (1812—1870)family could hardly make ends meet.
They could only afford to send one of their six children to school. Dickens was not that child. His parents chose to send a daughter, who had a talent for music, to an academy. Then at the age of 12, Dickens´ life took another turn for the worse.
His father, a clerk, was placed in prison for unpaid debts. And, being the oldest male left at home, Dickens took up work at a factory. His horrible experience there became the fuel for his future writing. His father was freed three months later and inherited a small amount of money.
Dickens was then sent to school.
From 1836 to 1537, he wrote a monthly series of stories. Thus The Pickwick Papers, came into being, which brought fame to him.
Throughout his career, Dickens covers various situations in his novels. He wrote about the miserable lives of the poor in Oliver Twist, the French Revolution in Tale of Two Cities, and social reform in Hard Times. He also wrote David Copperfield, a book thought to be modeled on his own life.
"! do not write bitterly or angrily, for I know all these things have worked together to make me what I am," he once said. His difficult childhood did indeed shape the person he became, as well as his writing career. There are shades of young Dickens in many of his most beloved characters, including David Copperfield and Oliver Twist. Like the author, all these characters come from poor beginnings and are able to rise above their setbacks and achieve success. "Minds, like bodies, will often fall into an ill-conditioned state from too much comfort," he once wrote. On June. 9th, 1870, aged 58, Dickens died, leaving one unfinished work. The words on his tombstone read : "He was a sympathizer to the poor, the suffering and the oppressed, and by his death, one of England´ s greatest writers is lost to the world. "
How did Dickens see his childhood?
A.
He felt grateful for it.
B.
He felt it a pity that things weren' t in his favor.
C.
He loved writing about it.
D.
He chose to forget the bitterness about it.

Lisa was running late.Lisa,25, had a lot to do at work, plus visitors on the way : her parents were coming in for Thanksgiving from her hometown.But as she hurried down the subway stairs, she started to feel uncomfortably warm.By the time she got to the platform,Lisa felt weak and tired--maybe it hadn't been a good idea to give blood the night before,she thought.She rested herself against a post close to the tracks.
Several yards away,Frank,43, and his girlfriend,Jennifer, found a spot close to where the front of the train would stop.They were deep in discussion about a house they were thinking of buying.
But when he heard the scream, followed by someone yelling, " Oh, my God, she fell in!" Frank didn't hesitate.He jumped down to the tracks and ran some 40 feet toward the body lying on the rails."No!
Not you!" his girlfriend screamed after him.
She was right to be alarmed.By the time Frank reached Lisa, he could feel the tracks shaking and see the light coming.The train was about 20 seconds from the station.
It was hard to lift her.She was just out.But he managed to raise her the four feet to the platform so that bystanders could hold her by the arms and drag her away from the edge.That was where Lisa briefly regained consciousness ,felt herself being pulled along the ground,and saw someone else holding her purse.
Lisa thought she'd been robbed.A woman held her hand and a man gave his shirt to help stop the blood pouring from her head.And she tried to talk but she couldn't, and that was when she realized how much pain she was in.
Police and fire officials soon arrived, and Frank told the story to an officer.Jennifer said her boyfriend was calm on their 40-minute train ride downtown--just as he had been seconds after the rescue,which made her think about her reaction at the time. "I saw the train coming and I was thinking he was going to die," she explained.
The passage is intended to

Some farmers in California are having a hard time picking their crops.There are not enough workers to help them with the harvest.
One farmer used to grow peaches (桃子), but will soon grow almonds (杏仁) instead.Peaches require more labor to harvest.They are easy to be damaged and need careful hand picking.He is now removing his peach trees.Then he will plant almond trees in their places. Almonds are harvested differently.It does not take as many workers to pick them because a machine shakes the almond trees.
The nuts fall on the ground and then are gathered up.The farmer does not have to hire many workers.
Some farmers think there are two reasons why they can' t find enough farm workers.One reason is that there are a lot of well-paid construction jobs in the are
A.Many people are taking these jobs instead of picking fruit.The other reason is that it has become more difficult for workers to come from Mexico into
California.Fewer workers are allowed to get into the country to work on the fruit farms.To settle the problem, farmers hope the government might allow these workers to work as guests.That would help workers provide for their family and help farmers harvest their crops.When the harvest season is over they' ll go back home.Farmers say that unless things change, more fruits will come from other countries.
This is because labor is cheaper in those countries than in the United States.
Why does the peach farmer start to plant almonds?
A.
There is a greater demand for almonds.
B.
Growing almonds takes much less land.
C.
A machine can help get almonds off the trees.
D.
Almonds will fall on the ground when ripe.

When I was at school, our teacher told the class "You are what you eat. " My friends and I would laugh and call each other "hamburger"(汉堡) and "biscuits". Our teacher was trying to show us the importance of eating the right food to stay healthy.
This was 30 years ago when there were big movements to make British people healthier. Wes tar ted to eat boiled potatoes instead of French fries and drink fat-free milk instead of whole milk. At first I felt my potatoes had no taste at all. But after a while I started to prefer healthier food because I felt stronger and I didn´t get sick so often.
So we agree that you become what you eat. Do you know what your friends eat just by looking at them ? When you know the effects of different types of food, you can use your knowledge well and eat what you want to become.
Food has been so important to our health. Everyone has their own advice to give, which they have read about or have been told by older people. However, some of these pieces of advice seem to disagree with each other. For example, some say "Eating chocolate makes you fat," while others say "Chocolate contains the important minerals (矿物质)like iron and magnesium (镁)." In fact, what we need to find out is what type of chocolate to eat and how much of it to eat.
What did the teacher mean by "You are what you eat" in Paragraph 1 ?
A.
It' s fun to be called hamburger or biscuits.
B.
Your life looks like what you eat.
C.
It' s important to eat what you like.
D.
Your health depends on what you eat.

Nancy wanted to make good use of her spare time. So she decided to work for the underdog. For the past several years, she has been putting her experience and energy to help a disadvantaged( 条件差的 ) high school student.
Nancy knew that her knowledge would be best shared in a one-to-one situation. She found her perfect match in Operation Jump Start (OJS).
OJS was founded in 1994 in Long Beach, California, with the goal of helping students reach for higher education. It pairs students with experienced volunteers (志愿者), and provides them with workshops on writing, leadership development, and guided tours of various colleges.
Since its start, OJS has helped 80 students graduate from high school, with 95 percent moving on to higher education.
Nancy and the girl, Yanira, spent most of their time on school work. Together the two often went to museums, zoos, the movies, and concerts; they even sang in the school holiday show together!
“I know I´ m not like anyone else in Yanira´ s life,” Nancy says, “It´ s been great to get to know her and to watch her change, grow, and learn. ”
Much to Nancy´ s excitement, Yanira plans to attend John Jay College in New York City, where Nancy´ s father taught for his whole life. "These days I share her dream, and if she gets accepted I hope to travel to New York with her and show her around," Nancy says.

When you go on your job interview (面试) , be sure to dress well, be on time, do your research and NEVER ask any of the following questions:
1. "How quickly could I be promoted (晋升)?"
An employer first of all wants an employee to be happy with the position they have. Ambition( 抱负) is good, but there is a time and place to discuss promotion, and it´ s not during an interview.
2. "Will I be able to work from home?"
This is basically telling your future boss--before you´ ve even started--that you´ re too lazy to come into the office.
3. "How much vacation time does this position offer?"
Although this could be asked, this is the type of information you should get AFTER you´ ve been offered a position and not before.
4. "Will I have to work with a team?"
Almost all jobs need some kind of teamwork, so any sign that you are not a good team player will leave you with unfavorable points in an employer´s eyes.
5. "Does this position come with a handsome pay?"
The pay is usually discussed after a position has been offered. If an employer offers this subject,feel free to discuss it. Otherwise, try not to look like you are interested only in things for your owngood. An employer will more readily hire someone interested in bettering themselves AND the company as a whole.
When can you offer the subject of pay?
A.
Before you ask about teamwork.
B.
After you get the job.
C.
At the end of your interview.
D.

Her father, William Mitchell, was an astronomer and teacher himself. When he built his own school, Maria became a student and also a teaching assistant to him. At home, Maria´ s father taught her to watch the stars and other natural objects in space using his personal telescope (望远镜).
Later she went to work at the library of the Nantucket Atheneum. Over the next twenty years, he further developed her interest in reading as many books as she could. She spent her nights watching the sky closely with her father.
On October 1,1847,Maria discovered a comet (彗星) by merely using a two-inch telescope. Some years before, King Frederick VI of Denmark had set up prizes to each discoverer of a“telescopic comet”. The prize was to be given to the “first discoverer”of each such comet because comets were often discovered by more than one person.There was once a question of who should be the winner. As the story goes, Francesco de Vicohad discovered the same comet two days later, but had reported it to the European official rganiation first. However, after some ussion this was settled in Mitchell´ s favor. She won the
prize in 1848 and became a big name the world over. The comet was named "Miss Mitchell´s Comet".
