About 20 years ago, I moved to Woodland Hills to take a job in a small hospital's emergency department. No one wanted to work on New Year's Eve, so the shift went to me. I kissed my family goodbye and went off to spend the night in the hospital. It was a thankless job.
At 9 p.m., the ambulance brought in a man in his 60s who was having a heart attack. His face was pale, and he was frightened. The whole night I did my best to save his life. Before I left in the morning to spend New Year with my family, I stopped by to see how he was doing. It was still tough, but he had survived the night and was sleeping.
The following year I got New Year's Eve duty again. At 9 p.m. sharp, the ward clerk told me there was a couple who wanted to speak with me. When I approached them, the man introduced himself as Mr. Lee and said, "You probably don't remember me, but last New Year Eve you saved my life. Thank you for the year you gave me." He and his wife hugged me, handed me a small gift, and left.
The following year a new doctor had joined the group, but I wanted to see if Mr. and Mrs. Lee would return. This time, I volunteered for the shift. I kept an eye on the door. Once again, at exactly 9 p.m., the Lees appeared, carrying a warmly wrapped bundle. It was their new grandchild. Mr. Lee, his family and I spent 13 New Year's Eves together. In the later years the staff all knew about the story and would work to give me time with him in the break room, where we spent a half-hour each New Year's Eve.
The last year I saw him, he brought me a gift. I carefully opened the package and found a crystal (水晶) bell inside. It was engraved (镌刻) with a single word: Friendship. Now, my family, friends and I ring that bell every New Year's Eve at exactly 9 p.m. and offer our best wishes to the man who we won't forget.
24.Why was working on New Year's Eve considered as "a thankless job"?
A.Most patients were seriously ill. B.Patients refused to express thanks.
C.Doctors had nothing to do on that day. D.Doctors couldn't get praise for the hard job.
25.How was Mr. Lee when the author left the hospital the next morning?
A.He was really angry with her. B.He was still in a state of danger.
C.He got ready to leave the hospital. D.He recovered from his heart attack.
26.According to the passage, the author formed a habit of _________.
A.celebrating New Year's Eve with her family
B.giving New Year gifts to the hospital staff
C.spending New Year's Eve with Mr. Lee in hospital
D.ringing the bell for patients in the emergency department
27.Why does the author ring the bell on New Year's Eve?
A.To honor her working experience. B.To tell kids the traditional custom.
C.To show the beginning of the holiday. D.To remember an old friend of hers.
C
Small talk has a reputation for being uninteresting, and for good reason. Pointing out the fact that it’s raining seems as ridiculous as pointing out the fact that you have a head—you’re fully aware of both things, and don’t require an outsider to confirm them. But despite being evident and often painfully dull, small talk has an important role to fulfil, enabling us to leap over a number of social obstacles towards improved, meaningful interaction.
Humans can be sensitive souls. We each have our boundaries and lists of potential upsets, which when broken, cause us to either gently back away to an alternative position in the room, or become cross at the person. Small talk is first a way to test the waters with an unfamiliar person, so that you may better understand their personality. When finding yourself positioned closely to a person who you know little about, it’s much safer to point out the rainy sky than to share your political views on a sensitive topic. Until you know the person better, heavier topics should probably be kept under wraps, so you won’t find yourself on the receiving end of a cold stare.
Though insignificant, small talk still has great power. When talking with fellow humans, much of our soul is exposed through non-verbal communication. A response to “how was your weekend” can unveil much about the person’s character. The length of their response might indicate their level of self-confidence; the tone of speaking might show how agreeable a person is; their slightly lowered head, as if protecting themselves from attack, a possible sign of a regrettable history of bullying.
As more of a person’s character is revealed, we have the insight needed to determine whether to broach more significant topics—the things that we actually want to talk about. Conversation is a great educator, and deep conversation establish lasting bonds with our fellow humans, forming precious friendships that paint our lives with vibrant colors. Such friendships begin with small talk.
28. What is described in the first paragraph?
A. The first stage of human interaction.
B. Ridiculous human behavior in communication.
C. Absence of communication between strangers.
D. The difficulty of having deep conversations.
29. Why do people find themselves “on the receiving end of a cold stare”?
A. Because they are fond of heavy subjects.
B. Because they are enthusiastic about politics.
C. Because they are too sensitive about topics.
D. Because they fail to manage interpersonal distance.
30. What might be a sign of friendliness according to paragraph 3?
A. The length of the answer. B. The quality of the voice.
C. The position of the head. D. The distance between speakers.
31. What might be the best title for the text?
A. Reputation of Small Talk B. Ways of Understanding Personality
C. Significance of Small Talk D. Challenges of Deep Conversation
D
In New York City public schools, 176 different languages are spoken among the more than 1 million students. For 160,000 children, English is not their first language. New York's Department of Education makes learning better for these students by providing dual-language(双语) programmes.
Students are taught in two languages, English and another one, like Russian or Chinese. Maths, social studies, science and all other regular courses are taught in both languages so that they could learn about the culture of the other countries.
Milady Baez is Deputy Chancellor of English Language Learners and Student Support. She says, "The jobs of the future require that our students know more than one language. They are going to be travelling abroad; they are going to be communicating with people from all over the world. This will open doors for them."
Middle-schoolers might not have jobs on their minds yet. For Kequing Jaing, she likes keeping up her first language, Mandarin. "It makes me feel that I am home because I can speak in Chinese and learn in Chinese, while learning in English. So it makes me feel better and makes me understand more about the task I'm learning."
Anastasia Hudikova came to the United States when she was two years old. She says the Russian-English programme keeps her connected to her heritage(文化遗产) and her parents.
The New York schools also offer dual-language programmes in seven other languages: Arabi, French, Haitian Creole, Hebrew, Korean, Polish and Spanish. There are plans to add even more languages in the future. While these dual-language programmes are popular, educators in the US say that teaching English comes first. Anyway English is the official language of the United States. Studies show that children who learn English early will be more successful later.
32.Why are many courses of public schools in New York City taught in both languages?
A.To get the students to know about the cultures of other countries.
B.To encourage more students to go abroad to study further.
C.To attract more students to study in the public schools.
D.To show the advantages of studying in the public schools.
33.How does the text introduce the fact that it's important to learn different languages?
A.By making comparisons B.By listing people's attitudes.
C.By making the situation clear. D.By giving some numbers.
34.What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.More languages have been added to the New York City schools.
B.It's unnecessary to learn more languages in New York City.
C.English should be a must though different languages are taught.
D.English is spoken by the largest number of people in the world.
35.What is the best title of the passage?
A.English, Out of Date? B.The Newest Fashion in New York City
C.The Education in New York City D.Dual-language, to Be or Not?

(Text 10)
After a rather difficult case, the detective and his good friend decided to take a camping trip. Once having a fine meal and a bottle of wine they decided to go to sleep. A few hours before daybreak, the detective woke up his friend and said, “Bobby, look up and tell me what you see.”Bobby did so and said, “Why, I see millions of stars.”
The detective said, “What does this suggest to you, my good friend?”Bobby thought for a moment and said, “I can think of many things...From a scientific standpoint, the millions of stars visible suggest there are millions of planets moving around those stars.”
“Go on,” said the detective. Bobby thought for a moment more and continued, “From a religious standpoint, I can see God’s work is wonderful and we are but a small part of this plan. From a weather reporter’s standpoint, from a clear sky, I think that tomorrow will be quite sunny. So tell me, my friend, what do you think about this wonderful sight?” The detective replied. “Bobby, how foolish you are! Someone has stolen our tent!”

About 20 years ago, I moved to Woodland Hills to take a job in a small hospital's emergency department. No one wanted to work on New Year's Eve, so the shift went to me. I kissed my family goodbye and went off to spend the night in the hospital. It was a thankless job.
At 9 p.m., the ambulance brought in a man in his 60s who was having a heart attack. His face was pale, and he was frightened. The whole night I did my best to save his life. Before I left in the morning to spend New Year with my family, I stopped by to see how he was doing. It was still tough, but he had survived the night and was sleeping.
The following year I got New Year's Eve duty again. At 9 p.m. sharp, the ward clerk told me there was a couple who wanted to speak with me. When I approached them, the man introduced himself as Mr. Lee and said, "You probably don't remember me, but last New Year Eve you saved my life. Thank you for the year you gave me." He and his wife hugged me, handed me a small gift, and left.
The following year a new doctor had joined the group, but I wanted to see if Mr. and Mrs. Lee would return. This time, I volunteered for the shift. I kept an eye on the door. Once again, at exactly 9 p.m., the Lees appeared, carrying a warmly wrapped bundle. It was their new grandchild. Mr. Lee, his family and I spent 13 New Year's Eves together. In the later years the staff all knew about the story and would work to give me time with him in the break room, where we spent a half-hour each New Year's Eve.
The last year I saw him, he brought me a gift. I carefully opened the package and found a crystal (水晶) bell inside. It was engraved (镌刻) with a single word: Friendship. Now, my family, friends and I ring that bell every New Year's Eve at exactly 9 p.m. and offer our best wishes to the man who we won't forget.
24.Why was working on New Year's Eve considered as "a thankless job"?
A.Most patients were seriously ill. B.Patients refused to express thanks.
C.Doctors had nothing to do on that day. D.Doctors couldn't get praise for the hard job.
25.How was Mr. Lee when the author left the hospital the next morning?
A.He was really angry with her. B.He was still in a state of danger.
C.He got ready to leave the hospital. D.He recovered from his heart attack.
26.According to the passage, the author formed a habit of _________.
A.celebrating New Year's Eve with her family
B.giving New Year gifts to the hospital staff
C.spending New Year's Eve with Mr. Lee in hospital
D.ringing the bell for patients in the emergency department

C.To show the beginning of the holiday. D.To remember an old friend of hers.
C
Small talk has a reputation for being uninteresting, and for good reason. Pointing out the fact that it’s raining seems as ridiculous as pointing out the fact that you have a head—you’re fully aware of both things, and don’t require an outsider to confirm them. But despite being evident and often painfully dull, small talk has an important role to fulfil, enabling us to leap over a number of social obstacles towards improved, meaningful interaction.
Humans can be sensitive souls. We each have our boundaries and lists of potential upsets, which when broken, cause us to either gently back away to an alternative position in the room, or become cross at the person. Small talk is first a way to test the waters with an unfamiliar person, so that you may better understand their personality. When finding yourself positioned closely to a person who you know little about, it’s much safer to point out the rainy sky than to share your political views on a sensitive topic. Until you know the person better, heavier topics should probably be kept under wraps, so you won’t find yourself on the receiving end of a cold stare.
Though insignificant, small talk still has great power. When talking with fellow humans, much of our soul is exposed through non-verbal communication. A response to “how was your weekend” can unveil much about the person’s character. The length of their response might indicate their level of self-confidence; the tone of speaking might show how agreeable a person is; their slightly lowered head, as if protecting themselves from attack, a possible sign of a regrettable history of bullying.
As more of a person’s character is revealed, we have the insight needed to determine whether to broach more significant topics—the things that we actually want to talk about. Conversation is a great educator, and deep conversation establish lasting bonds with our fellow humans, forming precious friendships that paint our lives with vibrant colors. Such friendships begin with small talk.
28. What is described in the first paragraph?
A. The first stage of human interaction.
B. Ridiculous human behavior in communication.
C. Absence of communication between strangers.
D. The difficulty of having deep conversations.
29. Why do people find themselves “on the receiving end of a cold stare”?
A. Because they are fond of heavy subjects.
B. Because they are enthusiastic about politics.
C. Because they are too sensitive about topics.
D. Because they fail to manage interpersonal distance.
30. What might be a sign of friendliness according to paragraph 3?
A. The length of the answer. B. The quality of the voice.
C. The position of the head. D. The distance between speakers.
31. What might be the best title for the text?
A. Reputation of Small Talk B. Ways of Understanding Personality
C. Significance of Small Talk D. Challenges of Deep Conversation
D
In New York City public schools, 176 different languages are spoken among the more than 1 million students. For 160,000 children, English is not their first language. New York's Department of Education makes learning better for these students by providing dual-language(双语) programmes.
Students are taught in two languages, English and another one, like Russian or Chinese. Maths, social studies, science and all other regular courses are taught in both languages so that they could learn about the culture of the other countries.
Milady Baez is Deputy Chancellor of English Language Learners and Student Support. She says, "The jobs of the future require that our students know more than one language. They are going to be travelling abroad; they are going to be communicating with people from all over the world. This will open doors for them."
Middle-schoolers might not have jobs on their minds yet. For Kequing Jaing, she likes keeping up her first language, Mandarin. "It makes me feel that I am home because I can speak in Chinese and learn in Chinese, while learning in English. So it makes me feel better and makes me understand more about the task I'm learning."
Anastasia Hudikova came to the United States when she was two years old. She says the Russian-English programme keeps her connected to her heritage(文化遗产) and her parents.
The New York schools also offer dual-language programmes in seven other languages: Arabi, French, Haitian Creole, Hebrew, Korean, Polish and Spanish. There are plans to add even more languages in the future. While these dual-language programmes are popular, educators in the US say that teaching English comes first. Anyway English is the official language of the United States. Studies show that children who learn English early will be more successful later.
32.Why are many courses of public schools in New York City taught in both languages?
A.To get the students to know about the cultures of other countries.
B.To encourage more students to go abroad to study further.
C.To attract more students to study in the public schools.
D.To show the advantages of studying in the public schools.
33.How does the text introduce the fact that it's important to learn different languages?
A.By making comparisons B.By listing people's attitudes.
C.By making the situation clear. D.By giving some numbers.
34.What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.More languages have been added to the New York City schools.
B.It's unnecessary to learn more languages in New York City.
C.English should be a must though different languages are taught.
D.English is spoken by the largest number of people in the world.
35.What is the best title of the passage?
A.English, Out of Date? B.The Newest Fashion in New York City
C.The Education in New York City D.Dual-language, to Be or Not?

M: Certainly. The idea is not to have a house full of different things. This is a complete home system. It will make people’s lives easier.
W: OK. So tell me how this house will make my life easier.
M: When you arrive at the front door, you won’t need a key. The door will open with a touch of your finger. You will be able to call your refrigerator when you’re in the supermarket and find how much you need to buy. Isn’t it wonderful?
W: Can I call the washing machine as well?
M: Sure. But you won’t need to. The house comes with a robot. It is programmed to do cleaning and washing.
W: And what’s the price of the new house?
M: A million dollars.
W: A million dollars! It will be the 22nd century before I can afford to buy one!

After a rather difficult case, the detective and his good friend decided to take a camping trip. Once having a fine meal and a bottle of wine they decided to go to sleep. A few hours before daybreak, the detective woke up his friend and said, “Bobby, look up and tell me what you see.”Bobby did so and said, “Why, I see millions of stars.”
The detective said, “What does this suggest to you, my good friend?”Bobby thought for a moment and said, “I can think of many things...From a scientific standpoint, the millions of stars visible suggest there are millions of planets moving around those stars.”
“Go on,” said the detective. Bobby thought for a moment more and continued, “From a religious standpoint, I can see God’s work is wonderful and we are but a small part of this plan. From a weather reporter’s standpoint, from a clear sky, I think that tomorrow will be quite sunny. So tell me, my friend, what do you think about this wonderful sight?” The detective replied. “Bobby, how foolish you are! Someone has stolen our tent!”
