17、bout America. Once Minh was in a grocery store. He saw an old man and an old woman. They wanted a box of cereal. The box was on a high shelf. The man and woman couldnt reach it. Minh saw a stepladder. He got on the ladder and got the box. He handed it to the elderly couple. They thanked him. “Where

18、are your children ?”asked Minh . “Why dont they help you buy food ?” “Our children have their own lives , ” said the man and woman . “ We like to be independent . ”Minh doesnt think it is right . In his country ,children help their parents . Minh gave the elderly couple his phone number . He told th

19、em to call him if they needed help . One night they invited Minh to dinner , but they never asked him for help . One day , Minh was walking with a Vietnamese friend . Two men were going to a movie . Minh wanted to go to a restaurant first . Minh took his friend s hand . He pulled him toward the rest

20、aurant. People on the street stared at Minh. In Vietnam ,friends often hold hands. Minh found out that people in America are not used to men holding hands. Minh Pham is going through a process known as resocialization. Socialization is the process in which a person learns to live in a society. Every

21、one goes through this process. Minh went through it when he lived in Vietnam. But it is only the Vietnamese way of life. When Minh came to America, he had to learn a new way of life. He had to learn how to live in a new society. Minh has learned a lot about American life in two years. He still has a

26、ity of opportunity”. Many people like to think of our present system of schooling as providing plenty of steps up the ladder of success for clever children. It would be good to think that no one who is really bright can be missed out when the state system is obviously so complete. It is obvious, for

27、 instance, that many children from less wealthy homes reach university or do well in other ways. Unfortunately we now have plenty of proofs that many children of every level of ability do much less well than they could. For instance, during the years of national military service it was possible to t

28、est the intelligence of all male 18 to 20 year olds. Half of those soldiers who were placed in the two highest ability groups had left school at 15. It has also been shown that the percentage of working class children going to univer Omsity is almost the same now as it was in 1939. One study of 5,00

29、0 children from birth to 21 years old shows that up to half the bright pupils from working class homes left school when they reached 16 years old. Moreover, there is no difference in intelligence between the sexes, but far more boys than girls stay in education after 16. It is clear from this and ma

30、ny other proofs that many children are still leaving school too early to benefit from the prizesmoney, social respectability, and interesting jobswhich higher education gives. It is clear too that the reasons why such children leave have much to do with their social background. Their parents often n

31、eed the extra money another money-earner would bring in; they dont value education for itself because their own was probably dull and unhappy. It is not so much that they force their sons and daughters to leave school, rather that they tend to say, “its up to you”.16It is hoped that ROSLA will give

32、all children . Aa more enjoyable time at school Bthe same chances in society Cthe right to a better school Dhigher scores in intelligence tests17People would like to think that . Aequal numbers of poor and wealthy children reach university Bthose with the least money get the best education Cintellig

33、ent children are always selected by the system Donly really clever children do well18Working class children are thought to be at a disadvantage because . Amany of the clever ones leave school early Bfewer go to university than ever before C.more than half leave school when they are 16 Dfewer boys th

34、an girls stay at school after 1619Many children leave school early because . Atheir social background makes them unhappy Bthey have to give something to their familys income Ctheir school is a dull and unhappy place Dtheir parents dont allow them to make their own decisions20This article shows that

35、equal opportunity in education . Ais a thing of the past Bhas not yet been achieved Cis there for those who deserve it Dhas greatly improved our societyKey： BCABBQuestions 2630 are based on the following passageYou Are What You GiveWhat you give your relatives and friends can help you know yourself

36、better. Also, what they give you can tell you something about their personality. Most gift-giving (and getting) shows nothing more than the spirit of love and friendship. But it is possible to form some associations between the kinds of things brought and the people who buy them. Here is a guide to

37、who gives what   and why.The clothes you wear tell something about your personality. They tell the world not only how you want to be seen but how you see yourself as well. When someone gives you something to wear that agrees with your self-image, theyre saying, “I agree with you. I like you the

38、 way you are.” Such a gift should be taken as a form of compliment (赞美). On the other hand, a gift of clothing that doesnt match your personality could be an insult (侮辱) to your character.Making something by hand has become the exception in many countries today. If you receive a homemade gift, youre

39、 lucky. It may not be made perfectly, but it will show a certain quality of love. Theyve given time and emotion, two important characteristics of being creative.A person who thinks of food when thinking of gift is good example of what human warmth means. Whether you give a box of chocolate, a bag of

40、 oranges, or a ball of cheese, all carry the same message of comfort and support.People who give books as gifts either like reading or would like everyone to think they do. If you happen to receive a large, heavy book, its giver may be much more interested in the way things appear than in the way th

41、ey actually are. Of course, reading is a way of feeling the emotions of another person and of learning new things. Giving a book can be a way of sharing a feeling or newly learn meaning. The giver is probably trying to say to you what the book said to him.26.The first paragraph is written mainly to

42、tell readers that _. A. the gifts you give can help you understand yourself better than any other ways B. there is a certain relationship between the gifts and the people who give them C. the gifts you receive help you learn the personality of the givers D.between relatives and friends a gift may sh

43、ow friendship and love27.A person who likes the self-image of another person will give the latter a gift _. A. fashionable and expensiveB. made at home by himself C. that agrees with the personality of the receiverD. that matches the character of the giver28. If you give a large book as a gift, it m

44、ay show that _. A. you enjoy reading and will be successful in writing B. the receiver is interested in reading and hopes to be a writer C. you want to share with others a certain feeling D. you are more interested in the appearance than in its contents29. People who want to show their love toward o

45、thers often give _. A. homemade gifts B. delicious food C. expensive clothes D. interesting book30. What kind of message is communicated by a gift of food? A. A supportive one. B. A generous one. C. A creative one. D. An unusual one.Key: CDDAAWe have saved as a final set of emotions, the two most im

46、portant emotions connected with other people: love and its opposite, hate. Love can be seen everywhere. Yet surprisingly, love has been the subject of less scientific research than other emotions, such as anger and fear. The reason for this may be twofold. First, love is a very complex emotion, diff

47、icult to describe and measure. Secondly, unlike many radical emotions, radical love is generally not a problem; thus less medical attention has been paid to it.What is love? This is a complex question and requires a complex answer. Love is a strong, positive attraction and feeling for another person

48、 or thing. But it is more than this. It also involves feelings of caring, protection, excitement, and tenderness. When two people are in love they feel drawn to one another, they greatly enjoy each other's company, and they may be sexually attracted to one another.Sometimes it is easier to think

49、 in terms of different kinds of love: romantic love, brotherly love, and so forth. Though they are different in some respects, they share one important characteristic: a strong positive feeling toward another.Our feelings toward other people are often complex. We may love someone and, at the same ti

50、me, be angry with him. Or we may love someone, even though we are jealous of him. We might even love someone and, at the same time, hate him for the same precise reason.Hate is a strong negative emotion toward someone, and is due to anger, jealousy, or some other factors. Like love, hate can be a ve

51、ry strong emotion. It can also be very dangerous. The question is often asked, "Is it bad to hate?" The best answer is probably "Sometimes yes and sometimes no." Usually hate does not help us; it makes us feel unhappy and makes us do things that may hurt others. However, sometime

52、s it may be necessary to hate and hurt someone in order to protect loved ones.36. We might need hate, because it can help us _.A. be strong B. protect ourselves C. defend others D. understand love for others 37. Which characteristic is shared by different kinds of love?A strong respectful feeling to

53、ward another. A strong negative emotion toward someone. A strong jealous feeling toward someone. A strong positive feeling toward another. 38. Why doesn't scientific research pay attention to love?A. Because love is very rare. B. Because love is very complex. C. Because radical love is dangerous

54、. D. Because love is not important. 39. According to the passage, hate is caused by _.A. fear, danger and hurt B. caring, protection, excitement and tenderness C. anger, jealousy or some other factors D. complex, strong positive emotions 40. Love is a feeling that is the opposite of _.A. anger B. ha

55、te C. fear D. jealousy Key: CABCBPart V.
