In court at 9 o’clock. Apart from me there are a few old ladies who have come to the court and a class of 14-15 year-olds with their teacher.
9:05 Court starts. First case: Henry P., 47, divorced, charged with being drunk. He refused to leave a pub at closing time and caused a bit of damage when the police tried to arrest him. P. said he had had an argument with his boss and could not face going home to an empty flat.
9:50 Mrs F., 72, shoplifting (店内偷窃). Apparently Mrs F. had stolen a frozen chicken, which she had hidden under her hat (At this the school children burst out laughing and even the judges have difficulty keeping a straight face). The chicken was so cold that she fell unconscious, otherwise she would probably not have been caught. Mrs F, in tears, says she had not eaten meat for three weeks. It turns out that, although she has the old - age pension, she does not know about other forms of support.
10:30 Peter D., 19. D. stole, or rather “borrowed” a motorcycle, intending, he said, to give it back to the owner after trying it out. D.’s father is at sea and the mother is left to bring up four children, of whom Peter is the eldest, by herself.
11:00 Mrs A., 45, a doctor’s wife, president of a local ladies’ club, was caught leaving a fashion shop wearing two dresses, only one of which belonged to her. Admitting that she had wanted to steal the dress, she could not explain why.

The full moon climbs over the eastern horizon (地平线) and hangs like a huge orange globe in the sky. A few hours later, the moon is overhead but seems to have changed. The huge orange globe has become a small silver disk. What has happened? Why has the orange color disappeared? Why does the moon seem so much smaller and farther away now that it is overhead?
The moon appears orange on the horizon because we view it through the dust of the atmosphere. The overhead moon does not really shrink as it moves away from the horizon. Our eyes inform us that the overhead moon is farther away. But in this position the moon is actually closer to our eyes than when it is near the horizon.
The change in size is a trick our eyes and minds play on us. When the moon is low in the sky, we can compare its size with familiar objects. It is easy to see that the moon is much larger than trees or buildings, for example. When the moon is high in the sky, however, it is hard to compare it with objects on earth. Compared to the vastness of the sky, the moon seems small.
There is another reason why the moon seems to shrink. We are used to staring at objects straight ahead of us. When an object is difficult to see, our eyes have to try to focus on it. When we move our heads back to look up, we will try hard again. Looking at something from an unaccustomed position can fool you into believing an object is smaller or farther away than it is. However, scientists do not yet understand completely why the moon seems to shrink as it rises in the sky.
【小题1】What makes us puzzled when the moon is high in the sky?
A. It looks different. B. It becomes large.
C. Its color disappears. D. Its shape changes.
【小题2】What really happens when the moon floats farther away from the horizon?
A. It turns orange. B. It comes nearer.
C. It goes farther. D. It gets through dust.
【小题3】What does the author intend to suggest by mentioning trees and buildings in Para. 3?
A. They are low on earth. B. They are large objects.
C. They can affect our judgment. D. They can attract our attention.
【小题4】What can we infer from the text?
A. The size of the moon often changes.
B. We do not see the moon as it really is.
C. The moon is beginning to shrink much.
D. The moon is in fact a huge orange globe.

The sun was slipping down through the trees and it was time to go home. Time was running out. His mother would look at him and she would know. She always knew. A hot tear ran down his cheek. She trusted him. This was the first year she had left him alone for three hours between school and the time she got home from work. She had to work to buy his clothes and to pay for their food and for a place to live. He remembered the nice way she said, “You are a little man now, Joy.” It made him sad when his mother’s words came back to him. She trusted him.
Remembering this, he felt as if someone had stuck a sharp stick into his side. Her trust in him was all he could think about now. It drove everything else from his mind. “She trusted me.” He kept saying to himself. “She trusted me.” This was most important. Next to this, the pipe and its magic power meant nothing.
Joy looked at the long shadows coming toward him. He now knew what he had to do. And he was in a hurry to get it done. When he took the pipe, he left the store with slow unsure steps. Now his feet were quick, decisive, taking him straight back to the store like an arrow. He was out of breath when he reached the store.
Mr. Dow was just inside the door. The big man smiled. Joy wished he had not. Somehow, a bad friendly smile made it more difficult for Joy to do what he wanted to do. Joy was lost for a moment. His feet felt heavy. Suddenly, blindly, he held out the pipe. His voice struggled to come out from deep inside of the painful chest.
“Mr. Dow,” he said at last, “I didn’t mean to take it.”
“Thanks, Joy.” Mr. Dow said as he gently took the pipe from the boy’s hand. “How about staying around and helping me close up the shop?”
Joy felt Mr. Dow, s big hand on his shoulder. And Joy felt his shoulders had become a little broader and stronger.
【小题1】What kind of a life did Joy and his mother live?
A. A poor life. B. A new life.
C. A happy life. D. A modem life.
【小题2】Why did Joy feel like being hurt by something sharp?
A. He felt sorry for his mother.
B. He couldn’t help the family.
C. He had run away from school.
D. He disappointed his mother’s expectations.
【小题3】What do we know about Mr. Dow’s smile to Joy?
A. It’s broad. B. It’s warm.
C. It’s false. D. It’s secret.
【小题4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. An Interesting Pipe B. A Powerful Smile
C. Unconditional Love D. Magic Trust

Americans recognize that there is a past on which the present rests. But they have not developed their sense of the depth of time as much as this has been done in the Middle East and South Asia. The Arab looks back two to six thousand years for his own origins. History is used as the basis for almost any modem action. The chances are that an Arab won’ start a talk or a speech or analyze a problem without first developing the historical aspects of his subject. The American assumes that time has depths but he seldom stresses its importance of it.
The American never questions the fact that time should be planned and future events should be fitted into a schedule. He thinks that people should look forward to the future and not talk too much on the past. His future is not very far ahead of him. Results must be obtained in the foreseeable future ? one or two years or, at the most, five or ten. Promises to meet deadlines and appointments are taken very seriously. There is real punishment for being late and for not keeping commitments in time. The American thinks it is natural to calculate the value of time. To fail to do so is unthinkable. The American calculates how much time is required to do everything. “I’ll be there in ten minutes.” “It will take six months to finish that job.” “I was in the Army for four and a half years.”
The Americans, like so many other people, also use time as a link that chains events together. If one event occurs on the heels of another, we will certainly try to find a causal relationship between them. If A is seen around the area of B's murder shortly after the crime has been committed we automatically form a connection between A and B. However, events which are separated by too much time are difficult for us to connect in our minds. This makes it almost impossible for us as a nation to engage (从事) in long-range planning.
【小题1】How do Americans see past time according to the first paragraph?
A. It’s valueless. B. It’s limited.
C. It reflects today. D. It helps start a talk.
【小题2】What does the underlined phrase “to do so” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. To calculate the value of the past.
B. To plan a schedule for future events.
C. To figure out the importance of time.
D. To meet deadlines and appointments.
【小题3】When will Americans chain two events together?
A. When common evidence is found.
B. When the two events happen one by one.
C. When A is found near the scene of B’s crime.
D. When one event happens long after another.
【小题4】What does the author mainly want to tell Americans to do?
A. See time further. B. Make a long-range plan.
C. Remember the past time. D. Keep their commitments.

In the villages of Mexico, as in some other parts of the world, shopping is a kind of game. In the fine department stores, of course, buyers pay the prices listed on the tags (标签). 【小题1】
Suppose a merchant is a Mexican shopkeeper who sells handmade silver jewelry to tourists. 【小题2】 The merchant names a price. Immediately the tourist makes a much lower offer. The price the merchant puts on an article is not usually the price which will finally be paid. But the merchant pretends to be shocked. 【小题3】 It takes a long time to make such remarkable earrings. But at great sacrifice the merchant will let the tourist have the earrings at a lower price. The two bargain. The tourist comes up a little, and then the merchant comes down a little. At last they agree on what both consider to be a fair price.
【小题4】 The merchant may talk about life in the village or mention interesting sights the tourist should see before leaving Mexico.
The merchant’s way of doing business is much older than the supermarket way. It dates back to Old World times when the town market was the only place where people could exchange news and visit with friends. 【小题5】
In Mexico today, bargaining still makes life interesting for some merchants.
A. The buyers found bargaining really interesting.
B. Bargaining made their lives a little more colorful.
C. While the two bargain, they speak of other things as well.
D. Among the items of jewelry is a pair of earrings a tourist wants to buy.
E. But in most villages, bargaining is a game both buyers and sellers enjoy.
F. While in mountain areas, the buyers and sellers have to bargain every day.
G. The tourist is told that the earrings are real silver, made by people living in the mountains.

It’s hard to imagine two societies that deal with their elders as differently as the U. S. and China. And I am pretty sure about that. My wife Junling is a Shanghai native. Last month 【小题1】 the first time we visited my father at a nursing home in the U. S.. She 【小题2】 (shake) by the experience and later told me, ‘‘You know, in China, it’s a great shame 【小题3】 (put) a parent into a nursing home.” In China the tradition has been straightforward for centuries: parents raise children; then the children care for the parents as they become old. For example, Jiang Xiaoli, a high school teacher, and his wife recently bought 【小题4】 new, larger apartment in Shanghai. They did so 【小题5】 (part) because they know that in a few years, his parents will move in with them. Jiang’s parents will help take care of Jiang’s daughter, and as they age, Jiang and his wife will help take care of 【小题6】 (they). As China slowly develops a better and 【小题7】 (reliable) social - security system for retirees, 【小题8】 it has begun, the economic necessity of 【小题9】 (generation) living together will reduce a bit. But no one 【小题10】 (believe) that as China gets richer, the family affection will change too much.

I learned the meaning of been trusted when I was in junior school. At that time, I was the very shy girl and no one ever take notice of me. One day, we were asked for to recite a text. Mr. Liu, our English teacher, saying that only after we recited to him could we go home. My classmate left the classroom one after another. At last, I gathered courage to stand in front of him. But before I started, he said in a low and clear voice, “I trust you.” You can’t imagine that much his words meant to me. Thanks to Mr. Liu, I am confidently in both life and study now.
