five times a week since fifth grade. however, i didnt know how different textbook english could be from everyday english until i came to hotchkiss school, conmecticut. when i first studied english, i was told to say “i am fine” when people say “how are you?” but in the us, i found that people say “i am good” or “im tired.”one day, someone greeted me with “whats up?” it made me confused (困惑的). i thought for a moment and then smiled because i didnt know what to say.since then, i have discovered more and more differences between chinese and us cultures.to my surprise, us girls spend a lot of time in the burning sun to get a tan. however, in china, girls try every possible way to get their skin paler, or “whiter”.im also surprised by how hard-working us students are. in china, schoolwork is almost everything, so we study hard. but here, a “good” student gets good grades, does a lot for the public and plays sports or music.the kids here are so talented. i am starting to be sorry that i

elizabeth goudge.cas a child, i was really afraid of the dark and of getting lost. these fears were very real and caused me some uncomfortable moments.maybe it was the strange way things looked and sounded in my own room at night that scared (使惊恐) me so much. there was never complete darkness, but always a streetlight or passing car lights, which made clothes on the back of a chair take on the shape of a wild animal. out of the corner of my eye, i saw the curtains (窗帘) seem to move when there was no wind. a very low sound in the floor would seem a hundred times louder than in the day. my imagination would run wild, and my heart would beat fast. i would lie very still so that the “enemy” would not discover me.another of my childhood fears was that i would get lost, especially on the way home from school. every morning i got on the school bus right near my home. that was no problem. after school, though, when all the buses were lined up along the street, i was afraid that i would get in the wrong one and be taken to some other strange places. on school or family trips to a park or a museum, i wouldnt let the leaders out of my sight.perhaps one of the worst fears of all i had as a child was that of not being liked or accepted by others. being popular was so important to me then, and the fear of not being liked was a serious one.one of the processes (过程) about growing up is being able to realize and overcome (克服) our fears. understanding the things that scared us as children helps us achieve greater success later in life.51. would scare the writer at night.a. streetlight and car lights b. wild animals and enemies c. moving curtains and wind d. strange sights and sounds52. when she went to some other places, she would .a. walk away without others b. take a bus by herself c. follow others closely d. make sure not to take a wrong bus53. which of the following statements would be possibly true when she was a child?a. she thought being popular among people was important.b. she was always the leader of the others.c. she always got poor grades.d. she was not at all liked by others.devery morning, the newspaper chief editor (主编) holds a meeting with the reporters. they discuss the main events of the day. reporters are then sent to cover (报道) the events.as soon as the reporters know what to write about, they get down to work. they telephone people and fix a time for a face-to-face interview with them. sometimes they do telephone interviews. checking information is very important. they go to the newspapers own library to look up any information that they need. this is called “doing ones homework.”at the same time, the picture editor decides which photographs will be used for the next days paper. all the people who work on a newspaper must be able to work fast. reporters have to stop working on one story and start working at once on the important new one. they must find out the new information as quickly as possible. later in the day, everything is put together at the new desk. reporters return, type their stories into the computer and hand them to the editor. the chief editor decides which will be the most important story on the front page. sometimes this will have to be changed if something more important happens late in the day. other editors read the stories which the reporters have written and make any necessary changes.finally, there is no more time left for adding new stories, and the time for printing the newspaper has come. this is done on fast-moving printing machines. the newspapers are then delivered (发送) by truck, plane or rail. speed is important. people want to buy the latest newspaper; nobody wants to buy yesterdays.54. what is the work in a newspaper office like?a. interesting and confusing. b. important and patient.c. particular and necessary. d. fast and busy.55. according to the passage, the right order for a reporters work is .a. writing stories b. doing interviews c. joining in a discussiond. doing homework e. handing stories to the editora. c-b-a-d-e b. c-d-e-a-bc. c-b-d-a-e d. c-a-d-b-e56. the front page contents (内容) are decided by .a. the importance of the eventsb. how well the stories are writtenc. the knowledge of the chief editord. whether they are the latest57. the best title for the passage is . a. how a newspaper is producedb. how newspapers are deliveredc. what kind of papers readers liked. whose work is more important第卷 （主观题 共40分）五、词汇运用 （本大题共8分，每小题1分）(a) 根据句意，用括号内所给单词的适当形式填空。1. you _ (simple) cant imagine how terrible the earthquake is!2. flying across
