A person can choose to love.” To myself, I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband 23 our love had been dulled by my own insensitivity (感覺遲鈍) . In unimportant ways, really; scolding Evelyn for her tardiness (拖拉); 24 on the TV channel I wanted to watch; throwing 25 day ? old newspapers that I knew Evelyn still wanted to read. Well, for two weeks all that would 26 .
And it 27 . Right from the moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said, “That new yellow sweater looks 28 on you.” “Oh, Tom, you noticed,” she said, surprised and 29 , maybe a little puzzled.

第三節(jié)：閱讀理解 （共20小題：每小題1.5分，滿分30分）
A
I hear many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling. I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning how to stand on your own two feet. But take a look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are all taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them are clutching at (attempting to seize) one another's hands for reassurance.
They claim that they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in mussel. But somehow they all end up crowded round listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in thusand?such a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon?(蠶繭) — into a lager cocoon.
It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry had firmly carved out a teenager market. These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. And many of today's parents have come toward high marks for the popularity of their children. All this adds up to a great barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.
But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don't care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come — with the people who respect you for who you are. That is the only kind of popularity that really counts.
36. The author's purpose of writing this passage is to tell____.
A?readers how to be popular with people around
B?teenagers how to decide things for themselves
C?parents how to control and guide their children
D?people how to understand and respect each other
37.According to the author, many teenagers think they are brave enough to act on their own, but in fact, most of them __________________.
A?have much difficulty understanding each other
B?lack confidence
C?dare not cope with problems single?handed
D?are very much afraid of getting lost
38. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. There is no popularity that really counts.
B. What many parents are doing is in fact hindering their children from finding their own paths.
C. It is not necessarily bad for a teenager to disagree with his or her classmates.
D. ost teenagers claim that they want to do what they like to do.
39. The author thinks of advertisements as __________________.
A. convincing B. instructive C. effective D.?authoritative
40. During the teenage years, one should learn to __________________
A?differ from others in as many ways as possible

C?find one's real self
D?rebel against parents and the popularity waves

About six years ago I was eating lunch in a restaurant in New York City when a woman and a young boy sat down at the table, I couldn’t help overhearing parts of their conversation. At one point the woman asked: So, how have you been?” And the boy ?who could not have been more than seven or eight years old—replied.” frankly, I have been feeling a little depressed lately.”
This incident stuck in my mind because it confirmed(確認(rèn))my growing belief that children are changing. As far as I can remember, my friends and I didn’t find out we were” depressed”, that is ,in low spirits, until we were in high school.
Undoubtedly a change in children has increased steadily in recent years. Children don’t seem childlike anymore. Children speak more like adults, dress more like adults and behave more like adults than they used to.
Whether this is good or bad is difficult to say, but it certainly is different. Children as it once was no longer exist. Why?
Human development is depended not only on both biological states, but also on patterns of gathing social knowledge. ovement from one social role to another usually involves learning the secrets of the new social positions. Children have always been taught adult secrets, but slowly and in stages; traditionally, we tell sixth graders things we keep hidden from fifth graders.
In the last 30 years, however, a secret-revelation(揭示)machine has been equipped in 98 percent of American homes. It is called television. Television passes information to all viewers alike, whether they are children or adults. Unable to resisted the temptation(誘惑),many children turn their attends from printed texts to the less challenging, more attractive moving pictures.
Communication through print, as a matter of fact, allows for a great deal of control over the social information which children will gain. Children must read simple books before they can read complex materials.
41. Traditionally a child is supposed to learn about the adult world ______ .
A. through connection with society
B. gradually and under guidance
C. naturally without being taught
D. through watching television
42. According to the author, that today’s children seem adult like result from ______.
A. the widespread influence of television
B. the poor arrangement of teaching content
C. the fast pace of human scientific development
D. the rising standard of living
43. What does the author think of communication through print for children?
A. It enables children to gain more social information.
B. It develops children’s interest in reading and writing.
C. It helps children to read and write well.
D. It can control what children are to learn.
44. What does the author think of the change in today’s children?
A. He feels their adult like behavior is funny.
B. He thinks the change worthy of note.
C. He considers it a rapid development
D. He seems to be upset about it.

The first reality TV show in the world was called Expedition Robinson and it was shown in Sweden in 1997. Half the population of the country watched the final event and a new kind of TV program was born. Two years later in Holland , the first series of Big Brother was filmed. Again, it was a great success and the final program was watched by 15 million people. Now more than 20 countries around the world have Big Brother or Expedition Robinson on their TV screens. The ordinary people who take part in the programs are known by millions of people in their own countries and reality TV has become big, big business.
For the TV producers, reality TV is a dream come true because many of the programs cost nothing to make. At some point, the television viewers are asked to telephone the program to vote or to apply to take part in the sho It is the cost of these telephone calls that pays for the shows. One of the most popular shows is Pop Idol. In the show a group of attractive young people are made into pop stars. TV viewers vote for their favorite person on the sho The winner makes a record and millions of copies of the record are sold. His or her pictures are published on the covers of magazines or on the front pages of newspapers, and then, they are quickly forgotten.
But not everyone is happy about reality TV. In Portugal, two TV channels got into trouble because they showed too much of the personal lives of the people in the shows. In France, reality TV is called “rubbish TV” and the TV studios of Big Brother were attacked three times in one week. In Greece, Big Brother was described as “against human rights and civilization”.
45. Those who take part in the reality TV shows are usually _____.
A. common people B. pop TV stars C. attractive people D. famous film stars

D. TV companies which broadcast reality TV shows

Dear Doctor,
y husband and I got married in 1965 and for the first ten years of our marriage I was very happy to stay home and raise our three children. Then four years ago, our youngest child went to school and I thought I might go back to work.
y husband was very supportive and helped me to make my decision. He emphasized all of the things I can do around the house, and said he thought I could be a great success in business.
After several weeks of job--hunting, I found my present job, which is working for a small public relations firm. At first, my husband was very proud of me and would tell his friends, “y clever little wife can run that company she’s working for.”

I can buy my own clothes and a new car. Because of our combined incomes, my husband and I can do man), things that we had always dreamed of doing, but we don’t do these things because he is very unhappy.
We fight about little things and my husband is very critical of me in front of our friends. For the first time in our marriage, I think there is a possibility that our marriage may come to an end.
I love my husband very much, and I do not want him to feel inferior, but I also love my job. I think I can be a good wife and a working woman, but I don’t know ho Can you give me some advice? Will I have to choose one or the other or can I keep both my husband and my new career?
Please help.

You are what you eat and fats are a main food for Asia’s fast-food generation. Dr. Chwang, director of the Department of Food Nutrition, says children are consuming more meat and soft drinks. That is a thorough departure from the traditional diet of vegetables and rice and little meat. “They like big pieces of fried meat with a soft drink. So although they may eat the same volume of food, their calorie intake （卡路里攝入量）has increased. Now about 40 to 45 percent of their calories come from fat,”says Chwang.
Although on the whole Asians tend towards thinness, culture -namely Asians’ hospitality （好客）－is a reason for the fatness of today’s generation, according to Chwang. “Asian people love food,”she says. “Eating and drinking are important social and family functions. ”In the past, however, big meals were only hosted on special occasions as people were more careful with money. In today’s climate of wealth and remarkable consumption, 10-course meals are no longer reserved for significant occasions.
ore than anyone else, children are on the receiving end of their parents’ improved circumstances. “In the past, people had four or more children-now, they have one or two, so they tend to spoil them,”says Chwang. “The easiest way is to give them ‘quality food’. Parents think feeding them well is showing their love. They feel bad when their children look thin. ”
When describing the physical condition of most overweight Asian children, Chwang says: “There is a clear relationship between fatness and indoor play. Children get fat because they don’t move, and eventually, they don’t want to move because they’re fat. ”
Thanks to technology, a growing army of children prefer video games to old outdoor sports. “What do children do when watching TV or sitting in front of the computer playing video games? They eat chocolate and drink Coke,”says Chwang.
52. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Asian people tend to save more money.
B. Asian children depart from their diet tradition.
C. Asian children eat big meals on more occasions.
D. Culture contributes to the fatness of Asian children.
53. Some parents feel bad when their children look thin, because ________.
A. their children don’t love eating and drinking
B. their children don’t have a good physical condition
C. they feel that they don’t take good care of their children
D. they feel that they are not wealthy enough to afford “quality food”
54. According to this passage, the “quality food” fed by some parents is actually __________.
A. helpful food
B. qualified food
C. agreeable food
D. high-calorie food
55. The purpose of this article is to ________.
A. prove the relationship between fatness and indoor play
B. explain why many Asian children are overweight nowadays
C. find reasons for increased food consumption of Asian people
D. compare the traditional diet with today’s diet of Asian children
