I would like to suggest that for sixty to ninety minutes each evening all television broadcasting in the United States be
forbidden by law.
Let us take a 36 ,reasonable look at what the results might be if such a 37 were accepted; families might use the time for a real family hour. They might 38 together after dinner and actually talk to one another. It is well known that many of our 39 —everything in fact, from the generation gap to the high divorce rate to some forms of 40 illness—are caused at least in part by 41 to
communicate. By using the quiet family hour to 42 our problems, we might get to know each other better.
On evenings when such talk is 43 , families could rediscover more active pastimes. Freed from TV, forced to find their own activities, they might take a 44 together to watch the sunset 45 they might take a walk together. 46 free time and no TV, children and adults might rediscover reading. There is more entertainment in 47 than in a TV program. 48 report that the generation growing up with television can hardly write an English sentence, 49 at the college level. 50 is often
learned from reading. A more literate new generation could be a product of the quiet hour.
A different 51 of reading might also be done as it was in the past: reading aloud. The quiet hour could become the story hour. When the 52 ends, the TV networks might be forced to 53 with better shows in order to get us back from our newly discovered activities.
At first glance, this idea seems
radical (激进的). How will we spend the time then? The fact is: it has been only twenty-five years 54 television came to control American free time. Those of us thirty-five and older can 55 childhoods without television. It wasn't that difficult.
36. A. valuable B. pleasant C. quick D. serious
37. A. advice B. suggestion C. opinion D. offer
38. A. get around B. stand still C. meet D. sit around
39. A. problems B. trouble C. affairs D. misfortune
40. A. physical B. common C. mental D. familiar
41. A. attempt B. failure C. ability D. permission
42. A. discuss B. talk C. make sure D. see to
43. A. impossible B. unnecessary C. funny D. unpleasant

On June 17,1744, the officials from Maryland and Virginia held a talk with the Indians of the six Nations. The Indians were invited to send boys to William and Mary College. In a letter the next day they refused the offer as follow.
We know that you have a high opinion of the kind of learning taught in your colleges, and that the costs of living of our young men, while with you, would be very expensive to you. We are convinced that you mean to do us good by your suggestion; and we thank you
heartily. But you must know that different nations have different ways of looking at things, and you will therefore not be displeased if our ideas of this kind of education happen not to be the same as yours. We have had some experience of it. Several of our young people were formerly brought up at the colleges of the northern provinces(省):they were taught all your sciences; but, when they came back to us, they were bad runners, and they knew little of very means(方式) of living in the woods they were
totally good for nothing.
We are, however, not the less obliged by your kind offer, though we refuse to accept it; and, to show our grateful sense of it, if the gentlemen of Virginia will send us a dozen of their sons, we will take care of their education, teach them in all we know and make men of them.
56. The passage is about .
A. he talk between the Indians and the officials
B. the colleges of the northern provinces C. the
educational values of the Indians
D. the problems of the Americans in the mid-eighteenth century
57. The Indians' chief purpose in writing the letter seems to be to .
A.
politely refuse a friendly offer B. express their opinions on equal treatment
C. show their pride D. describe Indian customs
58. Different from the officials' view of education, the Indians thought .
A. young women should also be educated B. they had different ideas of education

If you want to stay young, sit down and have a good think. This is the research
finding of a team of Japanese doctors, who say that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise—and as a result, we are growing old unnecessarily soon.
Professor Taiju Matsuzawa wanted to find out why otherwise healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and reason at a
relatively early age, and how the process of aging could be slowed down.
With a team of colleagues at Tokyo National University, he set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages and varying occupations (职业).
Computer technology enabled the researchers to obtain
precise measurements of the volume of the front and side parts of the brain, which controls functions like eating and breathing, does not contract with age, and one can continue living without
intellectual on
economical faculties [功能]).
Contraction of front and side parts-as cells die off-was observed in some subjects in their thirties, but it was still not evident in some sixty-and seventy-year-olds.
Matsuzawa concluded from his tests that there is a simple way to the
contractionnormally connected with age—using the head.
The
findings show in general terms that
contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in the town. Those least at risk, says Matsuzawa, are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors. White collar workers doing
routine work in government offices are, however, as likely to have
shrinking (萎缩) brains as the farm worker, bus driver and shop assistant.
Matsuzawa's
findings show that thinking can prevent the brain from
shrinking. Blood must
circulate properly in the head to supply the fresh oxygen the brain cells need.“The best way to maintain, good blood
circulation is through using the brain.”he says.“Think hard and engage in conversation, Don't rely on pocket calculators.”
60. The team of doctors wanted to find out .
A. why certain people are aging sooner than others. B. how to make people live longer
C. the size of certain people's brains D. which people are most intelligent
61. On what are their research
findings based?
A. A survey of farmers in northern old people.
B. The study of brain volumes of old people.
C. The study of brain volumes of different people
D. The latest development of computer technology
62. The doctors' tests show that .
A. our brains
shrink as we grow older
B. the front section of the brain does not
shrinkC. sixty-year-olds have better brains than thirty-year-olds
D. some people's brains have
contracted more than other people's
63. According to the passage, which people seem to age more slowly than the others?
A. Lawyers B. Farmers C. Clerks D. Shop assistants
C

The producers of instant coffee found their product strongly resisted in the market places despite their
manifest advantages. Furthermore, the advertising
expenditure for instant coffee was far greater than that for regular coffee. Efforts were made to find the cause of the consumers “seemingly
unreasonable resistance to the product”. The reason given by most people was dislike for the taste. The producers suspected that there might be deeper reasons. However, this was confirmed by one of motivation research's
classic studies, one often cited in the trade. Mason Haire, of the University of California, constructed two shopping lists that were
identical except for one item. There were six items common to both lists: that were
identical except for one item. There were six items common to both lists: hamburger, carrots,
baking powder, bread, canned peaches and potatoes, with the bands or amounts specified. The seventh item, in the fifth place on both lists, read “1 Ib. Maxwell House coffee” on one list and “Nescafe instant coffee” on the other. One list was given to each person in a group of fifty women, and the other list to those in another group of the same size. The women were asked to study their lists and then to describe, as far as they could, the kind of woman (“personality and character”) who would draw up that shopping list. Nearly half of those who had received the list including instant coffee described a
housewife who was lazy and a poor planner. On the other hand, only one woman in the other group described the
housewife, who had included regular coffee on her list, as lazy; only six of that group suggested that she was a poor planner. Eight women felt that the instant-coffee user was probably not a good wife? No one in the other group drew such a conclusion about the other group drew such a conclusion about the
housewife who intended to buy instant coffee.
67. The fact that producers found resistance to their product despite the fact that they spent more advertising money on instant than regular coffee shows that .
A. advertising does not assure favorable sales results
B. companies spent more money on advertising than they should
C. people pay little attention to advertising
D. the more one advertises, the better they sales picture
68. In this instance, the purpose of motivation research was to discover .
A. why people drink coffee B. why instant coffee was successful
C. why regular coffee was successful
D. the real reason why people would not buy instant coffee
69. This investigation indicates that .
A. 50 percent of housewives are lazy B. housewives who use instant coffee are lazy
C. many women believe that wives who use instant coffee are lazy
D. wives who use regular coffee are good planners
70. On the results of this test, the producers probably revised their advertising to show a .
A. lazy
housewife using regular coffee B. hard-working
housewife using instant coffee
C. lazy
housewife using instant coffee D. man obviously enjoying the taste of instant coffee
71. Implied but not stated: .
A. Despite its advantages, most people dislike instant coffee because of its taste.
B. The advertising
expenditure for instant coffee was greater than for regular coffee.
C. Very often we do not know the real reasons for doing thing.
D. Taste is the principal factor in determining what we buy.

While we may describe an organization by referring to its formal structure, it tells us little about what it feels like to work in such organizations. Such formal descriptions of organizations rarely capture the
essence of life in a company, what it feels like to be part of a large or small firm, what the other employees are like.
If a friend asks you to describe the new organization you have joined, it is highly likely that you will begin to describe the culture of the organization. You might say that the office appears friendly; your peers are approachable, no one can fill your work hours as you like, and the new firm has a pleasant“feel”to it. All of these aspects describe aspects of organizational culture. They are often intangible. You cannot see or touch culture, but you can describe its
manifestations (表现形式) and its effects upon you as a member of an organization.
The word"culture"has been traditionally used in common way to describe a particular
characteristic or
characteristics of nations in the world. The word is highly descriptive of the kind of feelings most of us recognize when we are ill a particular territory (organization or country) for we can express whether we feel it to be“foreign” to us and so can express to what extent we feel at ease or
uncomfortable in its environment.
Anyone who has worked for a number of different organizations, will immediately recognize that the mix and type of cultures within them vary widely. We Will feel happier in some cultures than others and we will each perform and contribute to the organizations
differently depending upon how“at home” we feel. An organization in which all the staff feel that the culture is foreign motivated individuals.
72. If we want to describe a certain organization to other people, we .
A. only need to describe its formal structure
B. are likely to describe its“culture”besides its formal structure
C. have to use few terms to let them understand
D. tell them how we live
73. The sentence“no one can fill your work hours as you like”(para. 2) could be best explained as .
A. no one forces you to do something as long as you work at your best
B. no one can fill your timetable with more than enough work you like
C. no one allows you to do what you like during work hours
D. no one can assign any task as he likes
74. The word“intangible”(in para.2) may means .
A. pleasant B. not easy to be seen or touched
C. easy to be seen or touched D. unpleasant
75. The expression“at home”in para. 4 possibly means .
A. comfortable and easy B. different C.
indifferent D. homesick

Dear Xiao Huang.
Thank you for your letter and Christmas card! I'm sorry I couldn't answer you quickly. We had some exams last week. I had to be ready for them. I'm happy I got an A in English.
In your letter you said you were weak in English and were going to drop it. You'd better not. English is widely used. It's as important as Chinese, maths and other subjects, in my opinion.
It’s certainly difficult to learn it well. But if you study hard you'll soon catch up with your classmates.
Yours,
Henry
