china daily.eventli yang, one of chinas most famous english teachers, apologized for beating his american wife more than a week after she posted photos of her injuries on the web and set off a bomb of criticism.“i wholeheartedly apologize to my wife kim and my girls for committing domestic violence. this has caused them serious physical and mental damage,” li said on his microblog at w, the countrys most popular social media site, on saturday. li, 42, is a mechanics major but is best known for his “crazy english,” a popular method of language learning that involves yelling at the top of ones lungs.he was at the center of public criticism after his wife kim lee put up posts on the web accusing him of abuse, showing her swollen forehead and knees.voicesxuemanzi, angel investoranti-domestic violence laws should be made as soon as possible, giving protection to the rights of women and children lawfully. police should not stand back from domestic violence any longer, even if no one reports them. society, as a whole, should attach greater importance to the crime.zhangxiaomeichinese are never taught about marital(婚姻的) relations, which mean not merely living together. a good marriage needs to overcome three differences: family background, gender and personalities. in addition to these, there is cultural gap in li yangs case. if the effects of these differences are not well understood, after the honeymoon period, they will turn into conflicts and endanger the marriage. lis domestic violence is a reminder that china needs such education.wuxiaolong, sina weibo userli yangs choice to resort to domestic violence really reflects his character. students who have attended his crazy english camp may know what i mean: li wants his students to worship him as an idol. i still remember he once had his students kowtow（叩头） to him. he always teaches english by imposition(权威强制), which directly reflects his desire for power.sikaozhe, sina weibo userin the us, the punishments for domestic violence are even more severe than stealing. if the police arrive at the wifes call during a fighting between a couple and find injuries on her, they will immediately arrest the husband. even if the wife doesnt call the police, they may also show up as neighbors could well do their part.ykxin sina weibo userdont blindly worship anyone, because in every closet there may hide a skeleton. as a famous chinese saying goes, “only they who do well in their daily routine tasks can fulfills their dreams on great occasions”. not surprisingly, one who focuses too much on his career and ignores his family, like li yang, will fail in both. dont judge a person by his career success, wealth, or any other material aspect, because what finally decides a person is his character.aftermath(余波)although li yang publicly apologized to his wife, promising to love his daughters even if he and lee divorce, the damage, perhaps permanently, has been done to his wife, his three daughters and the whole family.wang xingjuan, founder of the maple womens psychological consulting center, a non-profit organization, said nearly half of domestic violence abusers are people who have higher education, senior jobs and social status. she said this was probably because such people were usually under more mental stress.21this passage is focused on li yangs .amicroblog

accurately judge 90 percent of a strangers personality simply by looking at the persons shoes. “shoes convey a thin but useful slice of information about their wearers,” the authors wrote in the new study published in the journal of research in personality. “shoes serve a practical purpose, and also serve as nonverbal indications with symbolic messages. people tend to pay attention to the shoes they and others wear.” medical daily notes that the number of detailed personality traits detected in the study include a persons general age, their gender, income, political affiliation(派别), and other personality characteristics, including someones emotional stability. lead researcher omri gillath said the judgments were based on the style, cost, color and condition of someones shoes. in the study, 63 university of kansas students looked at pictures showing 208 different pairs of shoes worn by the studys participants. volunteers in the study were photographed in their most commonly worn shoes, and then filled out a personality questionnaire.so, what do your shoes say about your personality? some of the results were expected: people with higher incomes most commonly wore expensive shoes, and flashier footwear was typically worn by extroverts(外向者). however, some of the more specific results are interesting. for example, “practical and functional” shoes were generally worn by more “agreeable” people, while ankle boots were more closely aligned with “aggressive” personalities. the strangest of all may be that those who wore “uncomfortable looking” shoes tend to have “calm” personalities. and if you have several pairs of new shoes or take eexceptional care of them, you may suffer from “attachment anxiety”, spending a large amount of time worrying about what other people think of your appearance. there was even a political calculation in the mix with more liberal types wearing “shabbier and less expensive” shoes. the researchers noted that some people will choose shoe styles to mask their actual personality traits, but researchers noted that volunteers were also likely to be unaware that their footwear choices were revealing deep insights into their personalities.28. we can infer from paragraph 2 that_.a. shoes are vital to their wearersb. a practical purpose is to wear shoesc. people want to buy new shoes they pay attention tod. shoes may give away their wearers information29. which of the following is not true according to the text?a. people with high incomes probably wear expensive shoes.b. ankle boots are closely aligned with “aggressive” personalitiesc. people wearing “uncomfortable looking” shoes tend to be calmd. people who wear practical and functional shoes may be hard to deal with30. the underlined word “attachment anxiety”, probably means _.a. attached happiness to ones personality.b. feeling always worried about everything.c. often feeling worried about his or her appearance.d. wasting an inordinate amount of time.31. which might be the best title for the passage?a. bad shoes, bad personality. b. people are what they wear.c. how to choose suitable shoes d. shoes reflect a persons personalities.dfor 40 years, people in london have been happy to see parakeets (马尾鹦鹉) in their parks. the shocking green body and long tail have brought a bright color to the parks, which have attracted a lot of people.however, the parakeets are no longer welcome. they will push out local birds from trees to build their own nests, and will also take most of the food in the parks, such as seeds, fruit and nuts.sometimes by accident, plants and animals are carried to new places. they are transported by trains, ships or even planes. often, animals like fishes get transported in the water containers of ships. when these ships reach new places and pump out the water from their tanks, these animals will start a new life in a new place.sometimes people take plants and animals from one part of the world to the other to solve a problem. but it will create a bigger problem. years ago, the farmers of northern australia brought the toads (蟾蜍) from south america to their farms. they thought they would kill the beetles that harm the sugarcane crops. but the toad has done much more. it is now killing australias native animals, such as snakes, water birds and so on.32people get interested in parakeets

destroy trees which the local birds live in.c. they take the local birds nests and food. d. they have attracted much of peoples attention.34what is the third paragraph mainly talking about?a. how animals and plants come to new lands.b. how a new animal affects the local animals.c. why some plants are introduced to a new place.d. the role of ships in transporting animals and plants.35what can
