She wants me to be her friend and nobody elses. You talk to Marcy. You tell her that I want to be her friend, but I can have other friends, too!” Oh! I looked at her for a few moments, wondering how I got into this mess (困境), when suddenly an idea came to me. Picking up two baskets from the living room, I explained, “When everyone is born, he or she has a little basket. This little one here is yours. The big one is mine. As you grow, so does the basket. You can see your little basket is inside mine because when you were born, there were too many things you couldnt do for yourself. I did everything you couldnt do on your own.” She nodded. “Well, as you grew older and began to do some things on your own, I began placing a few more things in your basket. When you learned to tie your shoes, that went in your basket.” She said softly, “I can tie my own shoes.” “Right. As you grow older, there will be more and more things you must do on your own.” As I spoke, I gradually took her basket out of mine and handed it to her. “You will finally carry your own basket with things only you can do.” She looked up at me and said, “I understand.

But if they use the computer too much, they may end up forgetting the exact strokes（笔画）of each Chinese character when writing on paper. Experts suggest people, especially students, write by hand more. Do you write by hand more or type more? In Beijing, students start using a computer as early as primary school. And computer dependence is more wide-spread among university students. Almost all their assignments and essays are typed on a computer. All the students interviewed say they usually use a computer. Its faster and easier to correct if using a computer. And thats why computers are being applied more and more often to modern education. “When Im writing with a pen, I find I often cant remember how to write a character, though I feel Im familiar with it.” “Im not in the mood to write when faced with a pen and paper.” Many students dont feel this is something to worry about. Now that its more convenient and efficient to write on a computer, why bother to handwrite? Many educators think differently. Shi Liwei, headmaster of a famous primary school in the capital, said, “Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic（审美的）value. But those characters typed with computer keyboards only maintain their practical value. All the artistic beauty of the characters is lost. And handwriting contains the writers emotion. Through ones handwriting, people can get to know ones thinking and personality. Beautiful writing will give people a better first impression of them. ” To encourage students to handwrite more, many primary schools in Beijing have made writing classes compulsory（必修的）and in universities, some professors are asking students to turn in their homework and essays written by hand. 9. Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage? A. To Type or to Handwrite.B. The Importance of Handwriting and Typing.C. Writing by Computer Will Replace Writing by Hand.D. Practical and Aesthetic Value of Chinese Characters.10. The students interviewed prefer to write using a computer mainly because _.A. they are usually asked to e-mail their homework and essaysB. they find it not easy to remember how to write a characterC. they can correct the mistakes they make quickly and conveniently D. computers have become a trend and fashion in China11. Which of the following statements is NOT true about advantages of handwriting?A. Handwriting contains the writers emotion.B. Handwriting can impress people well and build their self-confidence.C. The writers thinking and personality are shown in his or her handwriting.D. Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic value.12. We can draw the conclusion from the passage that _.A. more and more students will give up writing on a computerB. writing by hand will give way to typing by computer one dayC. the typing article better expresses ones feelings and qualityD. more and more students will pay attention to handwriting DThe meaning of silence varies among cultural groups. Silences may be thoughtful, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say. A silence in a conversation may also show stubbornness, uneasiness, or worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable; thus efforts may be made to fill every gap(间隙) with conversation. Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a persons needs.Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people, just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore, when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops, what may be implied(暗示) is that the person wants the listener to think about what has been said before continuing. In these cultures, silence is a call for thinking.Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with disagreements among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power. For example, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement between parties about the topic under discussion. However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions (指示，命令) are given by a person in authority rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her. In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a person in authority.Nurses and other care-givers need to notice the possible meanings of silence when they come across the personal worries their patients may be experiencing. Nurses should recognize their own personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patients silence is not disturbed too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily. A nurse who understands the healing(治愈) value of silence can use this understanding to help in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.13. Which of the following people might take silence as a call for careful thought?A. The Chinese. B. The French.C. The Mexicans. D. The Russians.14. What does the author advise nurses to do about silence?A. Let it continue as the patient pleases. B. Break it while treating patients.C. Evaluate its harm to patients. D. Make use of its healing effects.15. What may be the best title for the text?A. Sound and Silence B. What It Means to Be SilentC. Silence to Native Americans D. Speech Is Silver; Silence Is Gold第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 _16_ Your school days should be some of the best and happiest days of your life.
