Rome had the Forum. London has Speaker’s Corner. Now always-on-the-go New Yorkers have Liz and Bill. Liz and Bill, two college graduates in their early 20s, have spent a whole year trying to have thousands of people talk to them in subway stations and on busy street corners. Just talk. Using a 2-foot-tall sign that says, "Talk to Me," they attract conversationalists, who one evening included a mental patient, and men in business suits. They don't collect money. They don't push religion (宗教). So what's the point? “To see what happens ,”said Liz. “We simply enjoy life with open communication(交流).” Shortly after the September 11, 2001 attacks, they decided to walk from New York City to Washington, a 270-mile trip. They found they loved talking to people along the way and wanted to continue talking with strangers after their return. “It started as a crazy idea,” Liz said. “We were so curious about all the strangers walking by with their life stories. People will talk to us about anything: their jobs, their clothes, their childhood experiences, anything.” Denise wanted to talk about an exam she was about to take. She had stopped by for the second time in two days, to let the two listeners know how it went. Marcia had lost her husband to a serious disease. “That was very heavy on my mind,” Marcia said. “To be able to talk about it to total strangers was very good,” she explained. To celebrate a year of talking, the two held a get-together in a city park for all the people they had met over the past year. A few hundred people showed up, as well as some television cameramen and reporters. They may plan more parties or try to attract more people to join their informal talks. Some publishers have expressed interest in a book, something they say they'll consider. 1.What did Liz and Bill start doing after September 2001? A. Chatting with people. B. Setting up street signs. C. Telling stories to strangers. D. Organizing a speaker's corner. 2.What they have been doing can be described as______. A. pointless B. normal C. crazy D. successful 3.Why are Denise and Marcia mentioned in the text? A. They knew Liz and Bill very well. B. They happened to meet the writer of the text. C. They organized the get-together in the city park. D. They are examples of those who talked to Liz and Bill. 4.What will Liz and Bill do in the future? A. Go in for publishing. B. Do more television programs. C. Continue what they are doing. D. Spend more time reading books. 5. How do they like the idea of writing a book? A. They have decided to wait a year or two. B. They will think about it carefully. C. They agreed immediately. D. They find it hard to do that.

When I was growing up in America, I was ashamed of my mother’s Chinese English. Because of her English, she was often treated unfairly. People in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously ,did not give her good service ,pretended not to understand her ,or even acted as if they did not hear her .W_w w.k*s*5 u.c@o m My mother has realized the limitations of her English as well. When I was fifteen, she used to have me call people on phone to pretend I was she . I was forced to ask for information or even to yell at people who had been rude to her. One time I had to call her stockbroker (股票经纪人).I said in an adolescent voice that was not very convincing, “This is Mrs.Tan..” And my mother was standing beside me ,whispering loudly, “Why he don’t send me cheek already two week late.” And then , in perfect English I said : “I’m getting rather concerned .You agreed to send the check two weeks ago, but it hasn’t arrived.” Then she talked more loudly. “What he want? I come to New York tell him front of his boss.” And so I turned to the stockbroker again, “I can’t tolerate any more excuse. If I don’t receive the check immediately , I am going to have to speak to your manager when I am in New York next week.” The next week we ended up in New York. While I was sitting there red-faced, my mother, the real Mrs.Tan, was shouting to his boss in her broken English. When I was a teenager, my mother’s broken English embarrassed me. But now, I see it differently. To me, my mother’s English is perfectly clear, perfectly natural. It is my mother tongue. Her language, as I hear it, is vivid, direct, and full of observation and wisdom. It was the language that helped shape the way I saw things, expressed ideas, and made sense of the world. 1.Why was the author’s mother poorly served?w_w w. k#s5_u.c o*m A. She was unable to speak good English. B. She was often misunderstood. C. She was not clearly heard. D.

Dogs wag(摇摆) their tails in different directions depending on whether they are excited and wanting to move forward or threatened and thinking of moving back, a study has found. Researchers in Italy examined the tail wagging behaviour of 30 dogs, catching their responses to a range of stimuli(刺激物) with video cameras. To conduct the study they chose 15 male dogs and 15 female ones aged between one and six years. The dogs were all family pets whose owners had allowed them to take part in the experiment at Bari University. The dogs were placed in a large wooden box with an opening at the front to allow for them to view various stimuli. They were tested one at a time. The researchers led by Professor Giorgio Vallortigara of the University of Trieste found that when the dogs were shown their owners—a positive experience—their tails wagged energetically to the right side. When they were shown an unfamiliar human they wagged to the right, but with somewhat less enthusiasm. The appearance of a cat again caused a right-hand side wag, although with less intensity again. The appearance of a large unfamiliar dog, similar to a German shepherd, changed the direction of tail wagging to the left. Researchers supposed the dog was thinking of moving back. When the dogs were not shown any stimuli they tended to wag their tails to the left, suggesting they preferred company. While the changes in the tail wagging were not easily noticed without the aid of video, it was thought that the findings could help people judge the mood (心情) of dogs. Computer and video systems, for example, could be used by professional dog trainers to determine the mood of dogs that they were required to approach. 1.The video cameras were used to catch the dogs ’responses because . A. it was easier to catch the dogs’ response changes in the tail wagging B. the dogs were put in the wooden boxes and tested one at a time. C. they enabled the dogs’ owners to know about their dogs’ habit D. the dogs wagged their tails in different directions when they were in different moods 2.The underlined word“intensity” in the passage means . A. surprise B. worry C. excitement D. interest 3.When there are no stimuli, a dog will . A. wag to the left B. wag to the right C. not wag at all D. wag to the left and then to the right 4.The underlined word “they”in the last paragraph refers to . A. the dogs B. the trainers C. the systems D. the researchers 5.The purpose of doing the experiment is . A. to train dogs for their owners B. to help people judge the mood of dogs C. to help dogs find company D. to help people choose their pet dogs

Sports account for a growing amount of income made on the sales of commercial time by television companies. Many television companies have used sports to attract viewers from particular sections of the general public, and then they have sold audiences to advertisers. An attraction of sport programs for the major U.S. media companies is that events are often held on Saturday and Sunday afternoons—the slowest time periods of the week for general television viewing. Sport events are the most popular weekend programs, especially among male viewers who may not watch much television at other times during the week. This means the television networks are able to sell advertising time at relatively high prices during what normally would be dead time for programming. Media corporations also use sports to attract commercial sponsors that might take their advertising dollars elsewhere if television stations did not report certain sports. The people in the advertising departments of major corporations realize that sports attract male viewers. They also realize that most business travelers are men and that many men make family decisions on the purchases of computers, cars and life insurance. Golf and tennis are special cases for television programming. These sports attract few viewers, and the ratings are unusually low. However, the audience for these sports is attractive to certain advertisers. It is made up of people from the highest income groups in the United States, including many lawyers and business managers. This is why television reporting of golf and tennis is sponsored by companies selling high-priced cars, business and personal computer, and holiday trips .This is also why the networks continue to carry these programs regardless of low ratings. Advertisers are willing to pay high fees to reach high-income consumers and those managers who make decisions to buy thousands of “company cars” and computer. With such viewers, these programs don’t need high ratings to stay on the air. 1.Television sport programs on weekend afternoons . A. result in more sport events B. get more viewers to play sports C. bring more money to the television networks D. make more people interested in television 2.Why would weekend afternoons become dead time without sport programs? A. Because there would be few viewers B. Because the advertisers would be off work C. Because television programs would go slowly D. Because viewers would pay less for watching television 3.In many families, men make decisions on . A. holiday trips B. sports viewing C. television shopping D. expensive purchases 4.The ratings are not important for golf and tennis programs because . A. their advertisers are carmakers B. their viewers are attracted by sports C. their advertisers target at rich people D. their viewers can afford expensive cars 5..What is the passage mainly about? A. Television ratings are determined by male viewers. B. Sports are gaining importance in advertising on television. C. Rich viewers contribute most to television companies. D. Commercial advertisers are the major sponsors of sport events.
