Frm the minute I met him I didn't like Edward Dahlberg, r, maybe, I was nervus abut meeting a man f letters, my intrductin t the scial wrld f American literature.
The evening Alberta and I came ver, he sat in a deep armchair facing a semicircle f admirers. They asked his pinin abut varius writers. He waved his hand and, except fr himself, dismissed everyne in the twentieth century: Hemingway wrte “baby talk,” Faulkner “sludge.” Jyce's Ulysses was “a tiring walk thrugh the waste f Dublin.”
R'lene intrduced me. This is Frank McCurt frm Ireland. He teaches high schl English.
I put ut my hand but he let it hang. Oh, still a high schl by, are yu?
I didn't knw what t say. He laughed and said t R'lene, “Des ur friend teach English t deaf mutes (聋哑人)?” In the Dahlberg wrld teaching was fr wmen nly.
I backed away t my chair, cnfused.
He wasn't finished. He turned t me. Des ur high schl by read? And what des he read?
I searched my head fr smething I'd read recently, smething distinguished (出众的) that might please him.
I'm reading the autbigraphy f Sean O'Casey.
Qute (引用) me a line.
My heart jumped and punded. My muth was dry. I culd think f nthing frm O'Casey that wuld match the grand passages Dahlberg quted frm the ancient masters. I mumbled (含糊地说), “Well, I admire O'Casey fr the natural way he writes abut his life grwing up in Dublin.”
He ndded tward me. If yu admire s-called natural writing yu can always lk at the walls f a public tilet.
The admirers laughed. My face was ht and I said withut thinking, “O'Casey fught his way ut f the slums (贫民窟) f Dublin. He was half blind. He's a ... a ... champin f the wrker ... He's as gd as yu anytime. The whle wrld knws Sean O'Casey. Wh ever heard f yu?”
He shk his head fr the benefit f his admirers and they shk their heads in agreement. He called t R'lene, “Tell yur high schl by t leave my presence. He's nt welcme here thugh his charming wife is welcme t stay.”

This year, the Paris museum that lks like a jumble (杂乱的一堆) f giant, clred pipes turns 40. The museum — the Pmpidu Center — has a secure place in the heart f Paris and in Parisians' hearts. But it wasn't always the case.
“When it was first built, the reactin was ne f disbelief,” said Serge Lasvignes, president f the Pmpidu Center. “Le Mnde newspaper wrte the museum's cnstructin brught shame n Paris, and city pliticians thught their mney had been ttally wasted,” said Lasvignes. Critics said it lked like an il refinery (炼油厂).
France's first museum entirely devted t cntemprary art saw the light f day thanks t the determinatin f ne man — Gerges Pmpidu, an art lver wh served as France's president frm 1969 t 1974.
In 1971, he started an internatinal cmpetitin t build the museum, riginally knwn as the Centre Beauburg. The winning team, which included three yung architects frm Britain and Italy, was cmpletely unknwn at the time. Renz Pian and Richard Rgers, the tw architects wh saw the prject thrugh, made the plan a reality.
“They didn't think they had a chance t win. S they thught they might as well d exactly what they wanted,” Lasvignes said.
“The design tk everyne by surprise and it was cmpletely different frm any ther museum. Smene said t Pian, ‘Yur thing is terrible — with the escalatr (自动扶梯) n the utside, it lks like a supermarket!'” Lasvignes added.
Frty years later, the museum still tries t make culture available t everyne, Lasvignes said. He calls the Pmpidu Center a museum like n ther. “We are nt nly a museum,” he said. “We have cncerts, debates, perfrmances, a library ... and everything flws tgether.” Pmpidu felt putting up walls between different frms f art was harmful. “S we are a huse f culture where peple return again and again,” Lasvignes said.
The Pmpidu Center is Eurpe's biggest mdern art museum; New Yrk's Museum f Mdern Art (MMA) is the biggest in the wrld. “But the tw museums have ttally different strategies (策略),” Lasvignes said. “The MMA's strategy is t cllect masterpieces, and we try t represent an entire epch (时代).”
28. What was peple's attitude t the Pmpidu Center at first?
A. They disliked it.
B. They respected it.
C. They were curius abut it.
D. They paid little attentin t it.
29. Wh cmpleted the cnstructin f the Paris museum?
A. President f the Centre Beauburg.
B. Three unknwn French architects.
C. Gerges Pmpidu.
D. Pian and Rgers.
30. What was the Pmpidu Center like in Lasvignes' eyes?
A. Very slid.
B. Quite traditinal.
C. Entirely riginal.
D. Extremely simple.
31. Which is a ntable feature f the Pmpidu Center?
A. It cllects great masterpieces.
B. It hlds varius cultural events.
C. It is the wrld's biggest art museum.
D. It is particularly attractive t freigners.

Anyne wh passes regularly thrugh busy public spaces knws that ne victim f ur bsessin (痴迷) with digital devices such as smartphnes has been small talk. With ur eyes fcused n ur smartphnes, fewer f us make cnversatin with strangers. But are we missing smething in this lss f relaxing small talk?
A grwing bdy f research suggests that small talk has surprising benefits. In a study published in 2014 in the Persnality and Scial Psychlgy Bulletin, researchers fund that daily interactins with casual acquaintances can cntribute t day-t-day well-being. Participants were asked t recrd their daily interactins with peple cnnected t them by “strng ties” (family and friends) and “weak ties” (acquaintances). On days when participants had mre “weak tie” interactins than usual, they reprted a greater sense f belnging and happiness.
In a study published in the Jurnal f Experimental Psychlgy in 2014, anther grup f researchers lked at interactins amng strangers. They invited 118 cmmuters (通勤者) at a Chicag-area railway statin and gave them ne f three rles: t start a cnversatin n the train, t avid any cnversatin and enjy the slitude (lneliness) r t d whatever they nrmally d n their cmmute. In surveys cmpleted afterward, thse wh were instructed t make cnversatin with strangers reprted “ntably mre psitive” cmmutes than thse wh rde in slitude.
“Talking with a stranger may nt ffer the same benefits as talking with a clse friend, but we underestimate (低估) its imprtance t us,” says the study's c-authr, Nichlas Epley, a prfessr f behaviral science at the University f Chicag Bth Schl f Business. Dr. Epley traded in his wn smartphne fr an ld featureless phne, which has made him, he says, mre pen t “wnderful, shrt cnversatins with strangers”.
Peple verestimate the scial risks invlved in small talk, adds Dr. Epley, “Mst peple nt nly want t talk t yu; they'll tell yu secret things they may nt even tell a family member”.
32. The first study gt the findings frm the participants by cmparing their _____.
A. strng and weak tie interactins
B. casual and clse acquaintances
C. private and public interactins
D. family members and friends
33. What did the study dne n the train find ut?
A. Peple are likely t ride in slitude n the train.
B. Few cmmuters like t chat with strangers.
C. There are three kinds f train cmmuters.
D. Chats with strangers bring jy t peple.
34. Which f the fllwing wuld Dr. Epley prbably agree with?
A. It is nicer t talk with strangers than friends.
B. Smartphnes may kill small talk with strangers.
C. Peple fail t realize the imprtance f friendship.
D. Mst strangers prefer t spend time n their phnes.
35. What des the text mainly discuss?

A
Al Gre has been cncerned with climate change, r ‘climate crisis' as he calls it, fr the majrity f his plitical career. As the years passed and he became mre passinate abut this issue (问题), he started travelling the wrld in rder t educate peple abut the effects f glbal warming using cmputer slide shws. Free f charge, he explained t his audiences that the wrld is facing a ‘planetary emergency' and that it isn't t late t stp it if apprpriate actin is taken nw.
It was during this time f turing and giving lectures that Gre was sptted by Hllywd prducer Laurie David, wh asked him t turn his slide shws int a dcumentary in which he wuld play the starring rle. At first, Gre was reluctant, as he has always been a very private persn, despite (尽管) being used t being in the public eye. Eventually, thugh, David managed t persuade him. The result was a fascinating dcumentary cmbining references t Gre's wn life stry with hrrifying predictins abut the future f ur planet.
Little did Gre knw that just ne year later he wuld be walking alng the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival and later cllecting an Oscar fr ‘Best Dcumentary'. Advertised as ‘the scariest mvie yu'll see,' the mvie cncentrates n the ptentially terrifying cnsequences f climate change.
‘An Incnvenient Truth' certainly gives us much t cnsider. As the title f the film suggests, it may be incnvenient fr us t have t think abut the future f the planet, but think we must.
The prfits (收益) frm the film are nw funding ther campaigns t spread the message abut glbal warming. Gre is delighted that sme schls are even using the DVD t help them teach awareness f envirnmental issues t their students.
S can this ne man's effrts really make a difference? Well, accrding t Gre, if we are clear abut what the prblem is, then we are mre likely t intrduce changes int ur daily lives. It may nt seem as if the decisins f individuals (个人) can achieve very much, but put them all tgether and they may add up t smething that will, literally, change the wrld.
1. Why did Gre make a wrldwide tur?
A. T build his plitical career.
B. T research n climate change.
C. T prvide private educatin fr children.
D. T raise public awareness abut climate change.
2. What des the underlined wrd “reluctant” in Para. 2 mean?
A. Cheerful.
B. Curius.
C. Surprised.
D. Unwilling.
3. What can we infer abut the film?
A. It was a great success.
B. It brught Gre in great mney.
C. It was far t scary fr many peple.
D. It avided the incnvenient crisis cnsequences.
4. What des the authr try t say in the last paragraph?
A. Persnal cntributins cunt.
B. We'd better begin t change frm nw n.
C. Gre's effrts will make n difference t the wrld.
D. Everyne shares the respnsibility fr the envirnment.
B
One f the first things yu may see when yu enter Clever Criminals and Daring Detectives is a wall f extremely strange wrds: Peg tantrums. Tip the velvet. Ptate trap. What culd these expressins mean?
These clrful idims cme frm A Dictinary f the Slang and Cant Languages by Gerge Andrewes (1809). “Cant” may refer t a dialect (方言) r even a cded (加密的) language used by a grup, particularly if members f that grup want t keep their meaning hidden frm utsiders. As yu can imagine, peple wh perate n the shady side f sciety — thieves, beggars — wuld have gd reasn t make their cnversatin difficult t understand t casual listeners. On the ther hand, everyne else — law enfrcement, curius writers — wuld want t be in n the secret.
Andrewes' cant dictinary was published with the authr's firm intentin t “expse” the language f criminals with the aim f “the mre easy detectin f their crimes.” It's less clear hw this wuld wrk in practice; I can't help but imagine sme detectives walking arund the less fashinable addresses in Lndn with cant dictinary in hand, stealthily turning ver the pages t keep up with an verheard criminal plan. But this wuld have prved an ineffective means f detecting criminals, as Andrewes' definitins were taken almst wrd-fr-wrd frm an earlier wrk by Humphrey Tristram Ptter, which itself was drawn frm even lder surces.
S if cant dictinaries weren't an effective tl in a criminal's tl kit, why were they in such high demand that writers kept prducing them fr centuries? Perhaps the cant dictinaries share sme f the characteristics that made detective fictin s ppular in the nineteenth century. There is certainly the attractin f a secretive lk int the underwrld: the average citizen may have n reasn t hide their meaning behind mysterius wrds, but it's rather interesting t think abut thse wh d. Fictin writers certainly made gd use f cant dictinaries in writing dialgue fr shady characters: ntably, Charles Dickens was highly praised fr his descriptin f Oliver Twist's band f pickpckets, whse talk relies heavily n Andrewes' cant research.
Perhaps there is als the pleasure in decding a message r slving a riddle: if a ptate trap isn't an equipment t catch tubers, then what is it? It's a little linguistic puzzle t slve.
5. What is cant?
A. Criminal slang.
B. Lcal language.
C. Cmplex idims.
D. Specialized wrds.
6. Why did Andrewes publish the dictinary?
A. T explain wrd usage.
B. T help criminal-arresting.
C. T simplify criminal language.
D. T cnnect criminals t detectives.
7. What is the authr's pinin n the dictinary?
A. It's very imprtant.
B. It's almst useless.
C. It's simple.
D. It's funny.
8. What made cant dictinaries widely liked?
A. The beneficial influence f detective nvels.
B. Peple's natural lve fr ppular detectives.
C. The examples in Charles Dickens' wrk.
D. Peple's hate fr criminals.
