The day my husband fell to his death, it started to snow, just 31 any November day. His 32

16、 , when I found it, was lightly covered with snow. It snowed almost every day for the next four months, while I sat on the couch and watched it 33 .

They smile and they kiss. In the English language, there are many expressions using the word “mouth.”For example

24、, if you say bad things about a person, the person might protest and say “Do not bad mouth me.” Sometimes, people say something to a friend or family member that they later regret because it hurts that persons feelings. Or they tell the person something they were not supposed to tell. The speaker mi

25、ght say: “I really put my foot in my mouth this time.” If this should happen, the speaker might feel down in the mouth. In other words, he might feel sad for saying the wrong thing. Another situation is when someone falsely claims another person said something. The other person might protest: “I did

26、 not say that. Do not put words in my mouth.” Some people have lots of money because they were born into a very rich family. There is an expression for this, too. You might say such a person, “was born with a silver spoon in his mouth.” This rich person is the opposite of a person who lives from han

27、d to mouth. This person is very poor and only has enough money for the most important things in life, like food. Parents might sometimes withhold sweet food from a child as a form of punishment for saying bad things. For example, if a child says things she should not say to her parents, she might be

28、 described as a mouthy child. The parents might even tell the child to stop mouthing off. But enough of all this talk. I have been running my mouth long enough.51In what kind of situation will a person say “Do not bad mouth me.” ? AWhen he feels down.BWhen he feels regretful.CWhen he is spoken ill o

29、f.DWhen he feels innocent.52If a person feels sorry for what he has said, he might say “ .” ADo not bad mouth meBI really put my foot in my mouth this timeCDo not put words in my mouthDStop mouthing off53If a person lives from hand to mouth, it implies . Ahe is badly offBhe is hard workingChe is wel

30、l offDhe has enough to eat54By saying, “I have been running my mouth long enough”, the speaker means “ ”. AI have run a long wayBI have been a mouthy personCI have learned a lotDI have talked too muchBWe would probably all be amazed if we watched a videotape of ourselves performing basically unconsc

31、ious acts as we go about the business of the day. These unconscious acts consist of all the little personal habits that we dont even think about, but definitely should. These are some of the things that present an image of who we are to others, and if we are careless in performing them, this image m

32、ay well be other than we would like it to be. Parents who insist that their children practice good manners and habits at home are doing them a great service, for these habits then become lifelong and the natural way they do things. It proves true that their unconscious actions will reflect a well-ma

33、nnered person. People who, for example, eat with both arms on the table at home will likely do so when out. Those who are lazy and slow in private will certainly be so in public. Children who are permitted to be disrespectful to their parents will follow suit with other adults, and will, most likely

34、, become adults who are disrespectful of others. This is an area where the saying “practice makes perfect” may be applied. There is an article about the actress, Audrey Hepburn, known for her beautiful carriage and posture. According to her biographer, her grandmother tied her neck to the back of he

35、r chair, at table, so that she would not drop down suddenly over her food, but rather would learn to put only small amounts of food on her spoon or fork and bring them to her mouth. This is a rather extreme “at home” method for the development of erect (直立的) posture, but it does illustrate the effec

36、tiveness of practicing good habits so that, when in public, they are instinctive.55. Which of the following expresses the main idea of the passage?A. Parents should be responsible for their childrens good habits.B. The actress is well known for her beautiful posture.C. We should always be aware of o

37、ur manners.D. Without good manners, one can never be perfect.56. Those who eat with both arms on the table at home _.A. will probably change the habit when eating out with their relativesB. will probably have the same habit when they have meals in the restaurantC. will feel embarrassed when having m

38、eals with so many strangers in publicD. will always put their arms on the table no matter where they eat57. The meaning of “practice makes perfect” in the third paragraph is _.A. the more practice one has, the better job he will doB. the more perfect one is, the more practice he needsC. if one has e

39、nough practice, he will become perfectD. perfect makes a person practice more58. Which of the following are NOT true?A. If we are not careful about our unconscious acts, the images of ourselves presented to others will be quite undesirable.B. The good habits formed in ones childhood will benefit him

40、 throughout his life.C. If parents do not care about the disrespectful attitude adopted by their children towards themselves, their children might be disrespectful to others.D. It is unlikely that a well-mannered person will not embarrass himself in public. CUntil recently, women in advertisements w

41、ore one of three things an apron, an attractive dress or a frown. Although that is now changing, many women still feel angry about offending advertisements. “This ad degrades women.” they protested（抗议）.Why does this sort of advertising exist? How can advertisers and ad agencies still produce, someti

42、mes, after months of research, advertising that offends the consumer? The ASA, the body which deals with complaints about print media, is carrying out research into how women feel about the way they are pictured in advertisements. Its conclusions are likely to be what the advertising industry alread

43、y knows: although women are often annoyed by the ads, few feel strong enough to complain.Women are not the only victims of poor and boring stereotypes（老套） in many TV commercials men are seen either as useless, childish fools who are unable to perform the simplest household tasks, or as inconsiderate

44、 fellows, always on the lookout for an escape to the pub. But it is women who seem to suffer more from the industrys inability to put people into an authentic present-day situation. Yet according to Emma Bennett, director of a London advertising agency, women are not aggressive or extremely angry ab

45、out those stereotypes and sexist （歧视妇女）advertising. “They just find it annoying or tiresome.” She says that it is not advertisings use of the housewife role that bothers women, but the way in which it is handled. “The most important thing is the advertisements tone of voice. Women hate being insince

46、rely praised or given desperately down-to-earth common-sense advice.”In the end, the responsibility for good advertising must be shared between the advertiser, the advertising agency and the consumer. Advertising does not set trends but it reflects them. It is up to the consumer to tell advertisers

47、where they fail, and the process of change will remain slow until people on the receiving end take the business seriously and make their feelings known.59Despite recent changes in attitudes, some advertisements still fail to .Achange womens opinions of themselvesBshow any understanding of consumers

48、feelingsCpersuade the public to buy certain productsDmeet the needs of the advertising industry60According to the writer, the commonest fault of present-day advertising is to .Acondemn the role of the housewife Bignore protests about advertisementsCpresent a misleading image of womenDpicture the act

49、ivities of men wrongly61Emma Bennett suggests that advertisement ought to .Agive further emphasis to practical adviceBchange their style rather than their contentCuse male images instead of female onesDsing higher praise for women than before62We can learn from the passage that advertising industry

50、should .Atake its job more eagerly Bdo more pioneering workCtake notice of the public opinionDconcentrate on the products advertised DStudents and Technology in the ClassroomI love my blackberry its my little connection to the larger world that can go anywhere with me. I also love my laptop computer

51、，as it holds all of my writing and thoughts. Despite this love of technology, I know that there are times when I need to move away from these devices（设备）and truly communicate with others.On occasion, I teach a course called History Matters for a group of higher education managers. My goals for the c

52、lass include a full discussion of historical themes and ideas. Because I want students to thoroughly study the material and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom, I have a rule no laptop, iPads, phones ,etc .When students were told my rule in advance of the class, some of them were n

53、ot happy.Most students assume that my reasons for this rule include unpleasant experiences in the past with students misusing technology. Theres a bit of truth to that. Some students assume that I am anti-technology. Theres no truth in that at all. I love technology and try to keep up with it so I c

54、an relate to my students.The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is that I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversions and truly engage complex ideas. Interruptions by technology often break concentration and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas. I want students to dig deep within themselves for inspiration and ideas. I want them to push each other to think differently and make connections between the course the material and
