We always had totally different opinions. He thought that college was a waste of time, but for me it was important to finish college. He wanted me to work my way to the top as he had done in his field, but I wanted a different life. There was a time when we did not talk with each other.A few months ago, I heard that my 84-year-old dad was in poor health. When he called and asked whether I could move from Colorado back to Tennessee to help him, I knew he was seriously ill. I am his only child and so it was time to meet my fathers requirement. Two weeks after moving back, we bought a boat and started fishing again. Fishing was one of the few things that we did while I was young and that we both enjoyed. It is strange but true that as we are fishing we are able to put things that have kept us apart for so many years behind us. We are able to talk about things that we have never talked about before. Fishing has been healing(治愈) the old wounds that have kept us apart.It is not important how many fish we catch. It is about enjoying the relationship that we have not had for years. Im 62 and he is 84. When we are on the lake fishing, it is like two kids enjoying life. It is far better to find a way to put the unhappy past behind. I am so lucky to spend the happy time with my father in his last years. Now my heart is filled with love. A smile always graces(使.增辉) my lips.21. The author and his father became further apart because_. A. they only communicated by phone B. they lived very far from each other C. they had different views on things D. they seldom went to see each other22. What made the author come back to Tennessee?

For the author, fishing with his old father _ . A. helps cure his fathers disease B. is a good way to get close to natureC. makes him realize the importance of exerciseD. offers a chance for them to communicate 24. What can be the best title for the text? A. Forgiving Is Difficult B. Fishing Brings Us Together C. Memories of Old Days D. My Beloved Father BGo to church, then have a big lunch, then go out to play while mum does the housework. That was a typical (典型的) British Sunday in the 1960s. But things now could not be more different.Some British sociologists recently studied the typical British Sunday. They found that people get up later and do less housework than they did 40 years ago. They are far more likely to be out shopping or enjoying themselves than cooking Sunday lunch.Sunday mornings were busy 40 years ago. Most women caught up on their weekly housework and cooked a nice lunch. They seldom allowed themselves any “leisure” until afternoon, after the dishes were cleaned. Then there would be another rush to the table between 5:00 pm and 6:00 pm for tea.But now, Britons can have brunch (早午餐) at the restaurant. Fewer people bother （添麻烦）to cook themselves.“You only have two free days a week. You dont want to have to waste one because there is nothing to do but watch boring TV,” said Elizabeth Biggs, 25, a producer in London.“On Saturday you are recovering from the week,” Biggs added. “Sundays are the last chance for the weekend you want to get as much as you can out of the day before you have to go back to work.”In the past, British women usually did their shopping during the week, while the husband was at work. “Now men seem to do that as much as women,” said Jonathan Gershuny, a professor who took part in the study.Men also do more housework now on Sundays. Back in the 1960s, men were far more likely to spend Sundays out of the house at the pub or playing football before lunch.25. Many Britons have brunch at the restaurant because _.A. They wont bother to cook themselves. B. They get up too late.C. They have no time to cook at home. D. They will go to church.26. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Britons used to go to church on Sundays.B. British women did their shopping on Sundays in the past.C. Britons usually had a big lunch at home.D. British men did little housework at home in the past.27. The underlined word “ leisure” in Para 3 means _.A. housework B. shopping C. free time D. lunch CArguing with your parents is totally natural for teens. From your hairstyle to your friends, to your marks at school, to your television habits, to your future plans, it might just seem like you argue with your parents about everything. While this is not generally a pleasant state of affairs, it is normal and it will most likely pass. Argue fairlyArguments between teens and parents generally come about when both parties believe that they know what is best for the teen. Parents have been caring for their teens for over a decade, but teens are quickly becoming adults and believe that they are able to take care of themselves. If you must agree with them, argue fairly by: Allowing each person to speak their mind. Refusing to interrupt others when they are speaking. Sticking only to the topic at hand. Argue respectfullyNo matter how heated things may get during an argument, try to remember that your parents still are worthy of your attention, respect and love. During arguments, be respectful by: Keeping your voice lowered at all times and refusing to shout. Sitting still and staying calm. Refusing to engage in angry actions such as kicking, throwing or hitting anything. Reasonably explaining the reasons for your opinions.There is a thin line between having a discussion and engaging in an argument, but smart teens know that keeping their interactions with their parents at the discussion level practically guarantees that they will be taken more seriously. No one likes to argue, and the parents of teens can be especially weary of it, so keeping things at the discussion level will work to everyones advantage.Arguing with parents is practically a sign of the teenaged years, but out-of-control arguments dont serve anyone well. Before arguing with your parents, decide what type of teen you want to be and what compromises (妥协)you are willing to make in order to achieve your goals. You never know, you might just avoid an argument all together.28. This passage mainly tells teens_.A. arguments dont solve any problemB. arguing with parents may hurt themC. some tips on arguing with parentsD. how to avoid arguing with parents29. When arguing with your parents, you should_.A. make up your mind not to give in B. show your respect for themC. express your opinions through actionsD. make full preparations for it 30. It seems that the author thinks teens arguing with parents is_A. normal B. practical C. shameful D. impolite DA woman from Japan was telling a friend about her trip to the United StatesThe woman had visited major businesses and investment companies in New York City and Chicago“I studied English before I left home,” she said“But I still was not sure that people were speaking English”Her problem is easy to understandAmericans in business are like people who are in business anywhereThey have a language of their ownSome of the words and expressions deal with the special areas of their workOther expressions are borrowed from different kinds of work such as the theater and movie industryOne such saying is “get your act together”When things go wrong in a business, an employer may get angryHe may shout, “Stop making mistakesGet your act together”Or, if the employer is calmer, he may say, “Let us get our act together”Either way, the meaning is the sameGetting your act together is getting organizedIn business, it usually means to develop a calm and orderly plan of actionIt is difficult to tell exactly where the saying beganBut, it is probable that it was in the theater or movie industryPerhaps one of the actors was nervous and made a lot of mistakesThe director may have said, “Calm down, nowGet your act together”Word expert James Rogers says the expression was common by the late 1970sMister Rogers says the Manchester Guardian newspaper used it in 1978The newspaper said a reform policy required that the British government get its act togetherNow, this expression is heard often when officials of a company meetOne company even called its yearly report, “Getting Our Act Together”The Japanese visitor was confused by another expression used by American business peopleIt is cut to the chaseShe heard that expression when she attended an important meeting of one companyOne official was giving a very long reportIt was not very interestingIn fact, some people at the meeting were falling asleepFinally, the president of the company said, “Cut to the chase”“Cut to the chase” means to stop spending so much time on details or unimportant materialHurry and get to the good partNaturally, this saying was started by people who make moviesHollywood movie producers believe that most Americans want to see action moviesMany of their movies show scenes in which the actors chase each other in cars, or in airplanes or on footCut is the directors word for stopThe director means to stop filming, leave out some material, and get to the chase scene nowSo, if your employer tells you to cut to the chase, be sure to get to the main point of your story quickly31.After the woman visited the Untied States she might feel that _A. her English was poorB.
