We talked about the times when we were 21 up and how Mom and Dad used to play the good cop, bad cop thing on us. Dad has been a person of few words since we were 22 _. He raised us more by 23 than anything else. When he spoke, though, we listened, and he was always mysterious and difficult to understand. There was always a(n) 24 meaning that I never got, but Liz always 25 to decipher(破解) him. By the time I got to high school, I had wanted a whole bunch of skateboard gear(装备) and I 26 I was too old to ask money from my parents so I worked at a burger joint. One day, I was really angry about annoying burgers. I came home huffing and puffing(气喘吁吁). Dad saw me and asked me what was the 27 . I told him that I was fed up with annoying burgers. He said that we all have to 28 somewhere, that we may not know it now, but the skills we learn even in a burger joint might come in handy later in life, Who knows, you might end up having to run a _29 or even own one when you grow up, said Dad. He 30 me down and I kept what he said in mind, even though I really didnt agree with it.A couple of years later, when I got to college, I worked in a restaurant. During one of the really 31 days that we had, we were short on kitchen staff. Our customers were getting impatient and the 32 were getting delayed. We were sure any minute something terrible would 33 out. I couldnt stand the 34 any more, so I rolled up my sleeves, got myself a hair net and helped out in the hot kitchen. We caught up with the orders 35 . The owner saw what I did and called me over around 36 time. He said that he was very 37 . He raised my salary and made me the assistant manager even though I could only go part-time. That was _38 I realized that what my dad said to me all those years before was absolutely true.Ive never forgotten what my dad said that day.

Maybe someone had kicked her out of their car the night before. Were moving house.; No space for her any more with the baby coming. We never really wanted her, but what could we have done? She was a present. People find all sorts of excuses for abandoning an animal. And she was one of the most beautiful dogs I had ever seen. I called her Goldie. If I had known what was going to happen I would have given her a more creative name. She was so unsettled during those first few days. She hardly ate anything and had such an air of sadness about her. There was nothing I could do to make her happy, it seemed. Heaven knows what had happened to her at her previous owners. But eventually at the end of the first week she calmed down. Always by my side, whether we were out on one of our long walks or sitting by the fire. Thats why it was such a shock when she pulled away from me one day when we were out for a walk. We were a long way from home, when she started barking and getting very restless. Eventually I couldnt hold her any longer and she raced off down the road towards a farmhouse in the distance as fast as she could. By the time I reached the farm I was very tired and upset with Goldie. But when I saw her licking (舔) the four puppies (幼犬) I started to feel sympathy towards them. We didnt know what had happened to her, said the woman at the door. I took her for a walk one day, soon after the puppies were born, and she just disappeared. She must have tried to come back to them and got lost, added a boy from behind her. I must admit I do miss Goldie, but Ive got Nugget now, and she looks just like her mother. And Ive learnt a good lesson: not to judge people.41. How did the author feel about Goldie when Goldie came to the house? A. Shocked. B. Sympathetic. C. Annoyed. D. Upset.42. In her first few days at the authors house, Goldie . A. felt worried B. was angry C. ate a little D. sat by the fire43. Goldie rushed off to a farmhouse one day because she . A. saw her puppies B. heard familiar barkings C. wanted to leave the author D. found her way to her old homeBYou can never be too sure these days in the United States of your neighbours or even your customers! Try to keep a low profile（姿态）in your neighborhood: dont announce to just about everyone that you are running a home business with thousands of dollars worth of equipment. As much as possible, dont invite clients（客户）or visitors to your home. In fact I know of some home-based entrepreneurs（企业家）who would rather meet their clients in a neutral（中间的）ground, e.g. the clients office or even Starbucks.There are other ways to keep burglars away from your house.Keep lights on around your house in the evenings. Light is a natural fright for burglars.Invest in a security alarm, particularly if your house is located in a remote spot. Security systems can often bring down the cost of your homeowners insurance premiums（费用）.Make sure that all windows and doors are locked and the security alarm turned on before you sleep at night or go out of the house. Avoid keeping house keys in obvious places, such as under the lamp or top of the doorframe.Adding an additional lock will provide extra security when you are home. The dead-lock, sometimes called an “exit-only deadbolt” is an deadbolt that doesnt have an external（外部的）key. Its clearly visible on the door from the outside, but cant be broken into without destroying the door, frame, or lock itself. While the security wont help directly when you arent home, the visibility may discourage an intruder from trying the door.Your door itself should be made of strong materials, such as one-inch thick solid hardwood or heavy metal.44. The advice given by the writer in the passage focuses on _.A. how to make your house safer from burglarsB. what to do when your house is broken intoC. how to improve social security in the United StatesD. how to run a home business45. Some home-based entrepreneurs dont invite clients to their home _.A. to enjoy convenience outside their homeB. for reasons of their property safetyC. not to let others know their businessD. in order to avoid being seen by burglars46.

What does the underlined word “intruder” most probably mean in this passage?A. Someone who is invited to visit.B. Someone who illegally enters the home.C. Someone who pays regular visits to the home.D. Someone who tries to destroy the lock.CAfter successfully serving their term for 4 years, military service men and women are given the choice to stay in the military or return to civilian life.For some, having to readjust to civilian life is one of the mist challenging assignments our returning soldiers and marines（水兵）will ever to undertake. While people may think readjusting should be simple, they must take into consideration of all physical and mental stress our servicemen went through.Post-traumatic Stress Disorder（创伤后应急障碍）,or PTSD, is a mental disorder that can occur following the experience or witnessing of life-threatening events such as military combat（打仗）.Most survivors of trauma return to normal given a little time. In the military, the marines are given a two-week course on how to return to civilian life.Unfortunately, some will have stress reactions that do not go away on their own, or may even get worse over time. These individual may develop PTSD.People who suffer from PTSD have difficulty sleeping because they are often reliving the experience through nightmares（梦魇）and flashbacks, and feel deserted or often stand off, and these symptoms can be severe enough an dlast long enough to significantly damage the persons daily life.Fullerton College, like most colleges, has its own Veterans（老兵）Office. Ray Bustos has been running the office for 3 years. Bustos acts as a liaison（联络） for the school and the veteran students. He makes sure the veterans returning to school get the right benefits. There are various types of financial aid for soldiers and marines. He strongly encourages the use of the Veteran Affairs website.The website is very informative and extremely helpful for veterans as well as for friends and relatives of veterans who want to learn more.48.

The best title for the passage is _.A. PTSD: Killer of A Civilian Life.B. The Last Assignment For All Military PersonsC. How to Overcome PTSD.D. Ready for a Civilian Life?DPacing and Pausing Sara tried to befriend her old friend Steves new wife, but Betty never seemed to have anything to say. While Sara felt Betty didnt hold up her end of the conversation, Betty complained to Steve that Sara never gave her a chance to talk. The problem had to do with expectations about pacing and pausing. Conversation is a turn-taking game. When our habits are similar, theres no problem. But if our habits are different, you may start to talk before Im finished or fail to take your turn when Im finished. Thats what was happening with Betty and Sara. It may not be coincidental that Betty, who expected relatively longer pauses between turns, is British, and Sara, who expected relatively shorter pauses, is American. Betty often felt interrupted by Sara. But Betty herself became an interrupter and found herself doing most of the talking when she met a visitor from Finland. And Sara had a hard time cutting in on some speakers from Latin America or Israel. The general phenomenon, then, is that the small conversation techniques, like pacing and pausing, lead people to draw conclusions not about conversational style but about personality and abilities. These habitual differences are often the basis for dangerous stereotyping (思维定式). And these social phenomena can have very personal consequences. For example, a woman from the southwestern part of the US went to live in an eastern city to take up a job in personnel. When the Personnel Department got together for meetings, she kept searching for the right time to break in-and never found it. Although back home she was considered outgoing and confident, in Washington she was viewed as shy and retiring. When she was evaluated at the end of the year, she was told to take a training course because of her inability to speak up. Thats why slight differences in conversational style-tiny little things like microseconds of pause-can have a great effect on ones life. The result in this case was a judgment of psychological problems-even in the mind of the woman herself, who really wondered what was wrong with her and registered for assertiveness training.52. What did Sara think of Betty when talking with her? A. Betty was talkative. B. Betty was an interrupter. C. Betty did not take her turn. D. Betty paid no attention to Sara.53. According to the passage, who are likely to expect the shortest pauses between turns? A. Americans. B. Israelis. C. The British. D. The Finns.54. We can learn from the passage that _. A. communication breakdown results from short pauses and fast pacingB. women are unfavorably stereotyped in eastern cities of the US C. ones inability to speak up is culturally determined sometimesD. one should receive training to build up ones confidence55. The underlined word assertiveness in the last paragraph probably means _. A. being willing to speak ones mindB. being able to increase ones powerC. being ready to make ones own judgment D. being quick to express ones ideas confidentlyEThe British arent having as many children as they used to. One reason is that people are having children much older than before, meaning they have fewer years in which they can have them. After years at university, they need a few years of work experience before they can get the job they want. They might then get married, but its incredibly expensive to buy a house in the UK.The above explains why young British people now dont move out of their parents home until they are around 30 years old on average. It is not until they are 30 that they can afford their own home. Increasingly, it is not until that age that they can afford to get married and start a new life in a new home. Its only after this age that many young people start thinking about having a child.So a British person manages to get a job, get a home and get married. Why isnt he or she then having at least two children on average? The main reason is that it is quite expensive to bring up a child in the UK. Why is it expensive? Well, these days, both parents need to work just to pay for their home and living expenses. Because both parents are at work, that means they then need to pay someone to look after their child during the day. Paying for this childcare is nearly always expensive.The recent financial crisis is making things even harder for families, since unemployment is rising and even fewer people can afford to have children. With so much pressure on families, is it any surprise that the divorce rate is so high?So what is Brita
