Besides, can you imagine not setting eyes on him or her until your wedding day? This situation is mon in India, the Middle East and many parts of Africa. Marriage customs around the world often differ from our own. We dont realize that people in other places often get married in very different waysand with different motives.In many countries, marriage is a practical matter. A marriage provides a safe and stable home for the husband and wife. It also joins two families, which benefits the couples parents and makes them happy. Marriage also brings children, making sure the couple will be taken care of in old age. Because marriage is important for the whole family, some cultures dont let young people choose whom to marry.Just as there are many different reasons for marriage, there are also many different wedding rituals. Every culture has its own ways of bringing good luck to the happy couple. In a typical Western wedding, the bride seeks good luck by wearing “something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue.” Something old represents the past. Something new represents success in the future. Something borrowed reminds the bride she can get help from her friends and family. And something blue reminds her to be true to her husband.In Poland, one wedding tradition is not only lucky, but also very practical. The wedding guests pin money to the brides dress while she is dancing. The money is meant to bring luck and to help the young couple build their new life. In Bermuda, the young couple plant a tree in the yard of their new home. Once they move in, they take good care of the tree and make it grow. The planting of the tree is a good metaphor（比喻） for marriage. A truly good marriage is something that grows with care.21Which of the following statements does NOT support the idea “marriage is a practical matter”?A. The husband or wife may have a safe and stable home.B. A marriage brings children to take care of the couple when they are old.C. A marriage benefits both the couples families.D. Parents have no duty to help their children get married.22The underlined word “ritual” means .A. methods B. ceremoniesC. behaviors D. performances23What can be the subject of this passage?A. People across the world get married in different ways and for different reasons.B. Every culture had its own ways of bringing good luck to the young couple.C. A truly good marriage is something that grows with care.D. In many countries, marriage is a practical matter.24Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Parents choose a husband or wife for their child in India.B. In many countries, some cultures dont let young people choose whom to marry.C. In Bermuda, the wedding guests pin money to the brides dress while she is dancing.D. Something blue reminds the bride to be true to her husband in western wedding.阅读理解。The Hunan Satellite TV(HNTV) show Where are we going,Dad? is a big hit.Many famous stars brought their children to a strange village alone,and they had to spend 72 hours with their children there.The program fully showed us a modern version of the “how to be a good father”.As the young parents today are too busy to take care of their children,this new form of “Lost on the way” played by nanny(保姆式的) daddy and cute kids triggered(触发)a lot of peoples emotional resonance(共鸣).Both the kids and their parents will find that their hearts are being drawn closer.But this kind of feeling has just proved that there is a big spiritual barrier between the modern parents and children.The TV shows like Children are hard to support!,Where are we going,Dad?,Hot Mom and Cute Kids are being more and more popular.All of these show the new parents confusion in childrens education and the appeal for the balance between career and family.In real life,on the one hand,the young parents feel helpless because they are too busy to acpany their children under the pressures of work and life;on the other hand,they continue to do so.The data collected by HNTV show that nearly two-thirds of their audience are female,among whom 36% are aged from 25 to 34.We can imagine such a scene that one evening a young mother is watching the show with her young children,while her husband is still at work or trapped in socializing,or maybe is just playing puter games in the bedroom.The story of a child without the pany of father is still going on.In fact,it is sometimes the same to mothers.In a modern family,it is often the old who take the responsibility for raising a child.The participation of mother in the childrens education is also very low.It is just this kind of confusion where the parents have gone in the modern family education,and where the parents will guide their children to go that Where are we going,Dad?shows us.If a child wants to grow up healthily and safely with independent personality and free spirit,it is very important for him or her to follow the parents who serve as their first teacher.Maybe this is the real reason why such kind of TV programs could get hot.The truth is that children will go where their parents go,and society will go where the children go.25Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?A.Parents shouldnt entirely leave the education of children to the old.B.36% of the audience of the program are female aged from 25-34.C.The program shows us the confusion where the parents and children will go to play.D.In a modern family it is often mothers who are responsible for raising a child.26In raising a child in modern society,parents should .A.play puter games with their childrenB.break down the barrier between children and teachersC.balance well between family and careerD.keep their children at home to avoid socializing27What attitude towards modern family education does the author express in the passage?A.Optimistic. B.Proud.C.Negative. D.Worried.28Which one is the best title of the passage?A.Confusion behind Where are we going,Dad?B.Modern Education is ImportantC.Nanny Daddy and Cute KidsD.New Problems in Modern Childrens EducationSoft winds blew throughout the Windy City today. We weled the winds, as it was another hot day in Chicago. The wind blew, bringing us some coolness and making the weather not that hot. But it was a beautiful summer day with a blue sky.Chicago is a great city for eating, and we have enjoyed tasting the different foods. Last night, we tried one of the citys most famous foods: deep-dish pizza. Chicago claims credit for the rich and cheesy thick-crust pizza, covered with a sweet tomato sauce. We topped it with olives and green peppers.We were touring the city, mainly looking for delicious local foods. Today, we enjoyed a Polish specialty at lunch: Pierogis, an Eastern European dumpling-like dish, filled with foods like potatoes, cheese, mushrooms, cabbage and meat. Polish immigrants started settling in Chicago in the 1850s, and the city has one of the largest Polish munities in the U.S. We took a break from exploring the city to talk with some of you! Ashley and Caty logged onto the Internet for an on-the-road version of TALK2US. We spoke to an English teacher in Tokyo, Japan, and a graduate student in India.Meanwhile, Adam searched for some locations around the city to shoot some video. He chose a spectacular spot: Navy Pier, Chicagos most-visited attraction. The winds from Lake Michigan keep visitors cool, and the view of the Chicago skyline never fails to impress. In fact, the view made all of us head over heels!Our time in Chicago has e to an end. Tomorrow, the true journey begins, as we pass through Illinois and into Missouri via Route 66. Springfield, the home of Abe Lincoln, and St. Louis, the gateway to the West, wait for us.29Why did the author and her panions like the soft winds?A. It brought warmth to them.B. It made them feel fortable.C. It improved the quality of the air.D. It left the sky blue and beautiful.30 What did the author and her panions mainly do in Chicago?A. They explored for foreign customs.B. They visited Polish munities.C. They studied the history of the city.D. They enjoyed famous local foods.31The author and her panions stayed online _.A. municating with strangers abroadB. asking for information on foreign foodsC. sharing their travel plan with strangersD. learning about different cultures in the world32The underlined part “head over heels” in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by _.A. boredB. relaxedC. FascinatedD. DisappointedWill you be playing some music at work?Music is particularly popular in the medical profession, especially among surgeons（外科医生）. A recent survey shows that 90% of surgeons in the UK put music on the sound system in the theatre during operations. Plastic surgeons（整形外科医生）play the most music; it appears that ear, nose, and throat specialists the least.But it isnt only in surgeries(外科手术) where music is popular. In another recent survey, one-third of the 1,613 people said they listen to music while working. And 79% of them said that humming（哼歌）along improves their job satisfaction or productivity.Is listening to music at work a good idea? Yes, say the experts. Many surgeons say that music helps to create a “calm atmosphere”, and a third of them added that it avoids getting bored! Also, listening to music raises the levels of a brain chemical that can help people focus. Office workers say it improves job satisfaction. Several studies suggest that its also good for hospital patients. Those listening to music through headphones during surgery require less anesthetic（麻醉剂）, up to 50% less in some cases, and recover more quickly afterwards. “Sure, music reduces anxiety before surgery,” says Zeev Kain, an anesthetist at Yale University.So, what type of music should we be listening to? Surgeons from the previous survey preferred rock, pop music and classical. And hip-hop is popular too. However, whatever the kind, it appears that self-selected music is the best choice. Pennsylvania State University research showed that when people chose their own music there was more stress reduction(下降). And other researchers found that when listening to self-selected music, surgeons did the maths faster and more accurately than when they were listening to music chosen for them.33The underlined word “theatre” in Paragraph 2 probably means _.A. an operating roomB. a rest room for surgeonsC. a waiting room in a hospitalD. a building where shows are performed34The surveys mentioned in the passage show _.A. music is popular in some professionsB. most surgeons in the UK are fond of singingC. office workers learn a lot from listening to musicD. fewer than half of the people listen to music at work35What are the advantages of listening to music at work? _.improving memorykeeping people relaxedimproving job satisfactionimproving eyesightA.

The most popular music should be taken into consideration37The passage is mainly about _.A. how to choose music wiselyB. where to find the best musicC. the popularity of music in hospitalsD. the benefits of listening to music at work三、 完形填空阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和 D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。One day Anderson, who then looked poor and hungry, saw an old lady who obviously needed help.

It expresses the values of love, approval, gratitude and forgiveness. Research shows that hugs have more positive effects on children and adults than just some encouraging words and a smiling face. Giving our child a hug on various occasions can make a world of difference in our young learners lives.On the first day of school, giving a hug coupled with a few calming breaths just might help your little learner overe The First Day Fears. By the way giving hugs for the first full week wouldnt hurt either. Hugs are relatively inexpensive and apparently very healthy.Its the day of the class play and your kid is not so confident about saying a few words as a wild turkey in front of an audience. Giving a hug coupled with a few encouraging words just might help them feel more confident.Usually, bedtime is the most frightening time of the day for most kids，who feel very stressed and may stay up. Giving a tight hug coupled with reading their favorite story or singing their favorite song may help them have a good sleep.Besides, according to Intelligence Quotient Development in Children on eHow, A caring yet inspiring environment is always helpful in promoting a childs language skills. Make sure your child gets plenty of hugs and kisses and hears positive and encouraging words from you.Sometimes we get caught up in teaching, parenting, providing, and protecting our children that we forget to hug them.
