Raised in a motherless home, my father was extremely hard on us children. His attitude didn't soften as I grew into adulthood and went to college. I had to ride the bus whenever I came home. Though the bus stopped about two miles from home, Dad never met me, even in severe weather. If I grumbled, he'd say in his loudest father-voice, "That's what your legs are for!" The walk didn't bother me as much as the fear of walking alone along the highway and country roads. I also felt less valued because my father didn't seem concerned about my safety. But that feeling was canceled one spring evening. It had been a particularly difficult week at college after long hours in labs. I was eager for home. When the bus reached the stop, I stepped off and dragged my suitcase to begin the long journey home. A row of hedge edged the driveway that climbed the hill to our house. Once I had turned off the highway to start the last lap of my journey, I always had a sense of relief to see the hedge because it meant that I was almost home. On that particular evening, the hedge had just come into view when I saw something gray moving along the top of the hedge, moving toward the house. Upon closer observation, I realized it was the top of my father's head. Then I knew, each time I came home, he had stood behind the hedge, watching, until he knew I had arrived safely. I swallowed hard against the tears. He did care, after all. On later visits, that spot of gray became my watchtower. I could hardly wait until I was close enough to watch for its secret movement above the greenery. On reaching home, I would find my father sitting innocently in his chair. "So! My son, it's you!" he'd say, his face lengthening into pretended surprise. I replied, "Yes, Dad, it's me. I'm home. " 【1】What made the author feel upset? A.The tiredness after long hours in labs. B.The feeling of being less valued. C.The fear of seeing something moving. D.The loneliness of riding the bus home. 【2】The author's father watched behind the hedge because ___. A.he was concerned about his son's safety B.he wanted to help his son build up courage C.he didn't want to meet his son at the doorway D.he didn't think his son was old enough to walk alone 【3】Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A.Riding Bus Alone B.My College Life C.My Father's Secret D.Terrible Journey Home |

San Francisco is going to do what many other cities have already done-provide free bicycles for the public. The mayor of San Francisco supports the bicycle program. He wants to improve the terrible traffic problems in the city. At first, 40 to 60 bikes will be available only to city workers. People will give their old bikes to the city to use in the program. If this program is successful, one day more than 1,000 bicycles will be available. Everyone, not just city workers, will be able to use these bicycles. People in Fresno, California already have a free bicycle program. In fact, this idea began in Amsterdam over 40 years ago. These programs encourage citizens to get out of their cars and onto pollution-free bikes. Fresno's Yellow Bike Program puts about forty bicycles around the city. The bikes are painted bright yellow so people know they can take them. When people take a yellow bike, they can ride to work or to shopping areas, and then leave the bike for the next rider. Some people worry that the free bikes will be stolen. However, theft hasn't been a problem in free-bike cities by now. While most people think the bike program is a good idea, only a few say they will use it. "I will still drive my car," says Joanna Greene. "San Francisco has a lot of hills. My office is at the top of Potrero Hill. I don't think I'm in good shape. And, wouldn't I have to carry a helmet with me all the time?" Phil Chung agrees, "There is too much traffic. Riding a bicycle can be risky. There are not very many bike lanes. " He continues, "Plus, it's too cold in the winter. And what if you ride a bike to work, and then there isn't one to ride home?" Program leaders know there will be problems. But they think it's worth trying. "It's not the solution for everyone," states Sylvia Pass. "But if just one hundred people use it every day, that's one hundred cars that aren't on the streets, one hundred parking spaces that aren't used. I think it's a great" beginning. " 【1】Why does San Francisco provide bicycles to the public? A.There are many bikes available. B.Many people don't have cars of their own. C.Many other cities have already done so. D.The traffic problems are terrible. 【2】Which is not a disadvantage of free bike program in San Francisco? A.Free bikes will be stolen. B.San Francisco is not flat at all. C.Riding a bike is not safe enough. D.It will be too cold in the winter. 【3】What is the attitude of Sylvia Pass towards the program? A.Negative. B.Positive. C.Objective. D.Indifferent. |

Why do people lie? Many psychologists agree that lying can start from childhood. There are various reasons why children make false statements. They usually tell untruthful stories to cover up the mistakes that they have done in the past. Lying is also a way to avoid receiving punishments from parents. If parents fail to reprimand their children for making up false stories, then there is a possibility that they will continue to lie during their teenage years. Teenagers lie because they want to be accepted by their friends. This is the main reason why they create stories that are not true just to become attractive and acceptable to other people. In some cases, teenagers tell untruthful statements to avoid criticisms from their families and friends. As teenagers grow, lying becomes one of their habits. Their knowledge on making up untruthful stories becomes more developed. People lie in workplaces if they fail to meet the deadlines（截止日期） and if they fail to achieve and do their tasks efficiently. Some of the common lies made in workplaces are getting sick and having emergencies at home. The danger involved in frequent lying is when it becomes a character. Frequent lying causes the development of the condition known to doctors as pathological（病态的） lying. Pathological lying is a mental health condition, which is linked with individuals who have the strong wish to tell untruthful statements. Patients suffering from it make up stories about everything and anything. These individuals lie to meet the standards of other people who they want to please. These patients cheat other people because it gives them an unexplained pleasure. One of the best ways of treating pathological liars（撒谎者） is to help them tell true statements and stories at all times. This may be hard for them, but as they are used to it, they will start to realize that they will be more accepted by their families and other people if they stop themselves from making up false stories. 【1】The underlined word "reprimand" in Paragraph 1 means "_____". A.satisfy B.criticize C.discourage D.praise 【2】Teenagers tell lies mainly because they want to _____. A.avoid being punished B.fool other people C.attract others' attention D.satisfy others 【3】Pathological lying is a disease caused by _____. A.mental health problems B.the habit of telling lies C.the desires to become acceptable D.the wish to please others 【4】What is the author's purpose of writing this passage? A.To show some typical examples of pathological lying. B.To predict the future consequences of pathological lying. C.To analyze the causes and development of pathological lying. D.To list a group of phenomena of pathological lying. |

阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要. Should some books be banned from school libraries? Are there Harry Potter books in your school library? Many kids all over the world are reading J.K. Rowling's books in school. But some parents think their children shouldn't be able to find those and other books in school libraries. Should school libraries keep books that some parents don't approve of? Should they take those books off the shelves? All over the country, schools are struggling with those questions. Many people believe that books that contain violence（暴力）or bad words shouldn't be in school libraries! Some people want the Harry Potter books removed because they contain talks about wizards and magic. Besides, books should meet certain standards（标准）before they are put in schools. Is this a good book for kids to read? Is it full of violence? Does it contain bad words or ideas kids shouldn't learn about? If a book is not good for all kids, it should not be in a school library. Most parents don't have time to find out everything their kids read. They should be able to trust schools to do that for them. On the other hand, some believe that books should not be banned from school libraries! "Parents should decide what their own kids read," said Natalie Nicol, of Denver, Colorado. Many experts say that it's the parents' job, not the school's job, to check out what their kids are reading. If they don't like a book, they should not let their kids read it. Actually, kids should be able to check out books their parents think are OK to read. Many schools let kids borrow certain books if they have a signed paper from a parent. That works fine. A parent doesn't sign the paper if he or she doesn't want the child to read the book. If more adults were careful about what their own kids read, they wouldn't have to ban books from the library. |
