w:dr.jolly,i’d like to know the purpose of today’s discussion.
m:well,i just want parents to learn a great deal about bringing up children.
w:how will this be achieved?by encouraging parents to watch their children?
m:so often a mother is likely to feel “he is playing quietly on his own.i can get on with my work.” so she’s not with her child.the result is that the child very quickly becomes bored,playing on his own.mothers need to be with their child because this encourages him in whatever he’s doing.if a mother is,say,working in the kitchen,her child wants her and just quietly calls to his mom,but she doesn’t respond until he shouts.so in effect,she’s said to him “unless you shout at me,i won’t come.” and then she comes to me and says “i’ve got a child who’s always shouting.” you find that in effect she’s trained him to shout.
(text 9)
w:excuse me,could you tell me when we arrive in stratford-on-avon?

m:your train arrives there at 6:15.
w:oh,good.the shakespearean play doesn’t begin until eight o’clock.that gives me plenty of time to check into a hotel and get a bite to eat.by the way,what will we see on the trip?
m:well,you won’t have time to visit oxford,but you might take a look at st.mary’s church from the train window.
w:oh,good.traveling by train is really convenient,inexpensive and i can enjoy the scenery.
m:but for long trips a train is too slow.

doctors say anger can be an extremely harmful emotion,unless you learn how to deal with it.they warn that angry feelings can lead to heart disease,stomach problems,headaches,emotional problems and possibly cancer.
anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time.some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way.others burst with anger,losing control of themselves.but other people repress their anger.they cannot or will not express it.
for years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person’s health than expressing it.they said that when a person is angry,the brain releases(释放)the same hormones(激素)that are produced during tense situations.they speed the heart rate,raise blood pressure,or sugar into the blood and narrow the blood vessels to the interstices(空隙).in general,the person feels excited and ready to act.
doctors said that repressing these feelings only makes the feelings continue.and this can lead to many medical problems.doctors thought a person could prevent these problems by letting the anger out by expressing it freely.but recently some doctors held a different view.they said that people who express anger repeatedly and violently did become,in fact,more and not less angry.they said this,too,can cause medical problems.
some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous.they believe that those who express anger intensely(激烈的)may be more likely to develop heart disease,and they believe that those who keep their anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure.
doctors say the solution(解决办法)is learning how to deal with anger.they say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger,then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about.if it is,they say,“do not express your anger while angry.wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonable.”
1.what does the underlined part in paragraph 2 mean?
a.forgetting one’s anger.
b.expressing one’s anger openly.
c.treating one’s anger calmly.
d.keeping one’s anger inside.
2.which of the following is not considered to be the results of anger?
a.the heart rate increases.
b.the blood pressure rises.
c.the blood contains sugar.
d.the blood vessels become thinner.
3.which of the following is the more recent view about expressing the anger?
a.it can bring about medical problems.
b.a person could avoid his medical problems by expressing his anger freely.
c.one is more likely to develop heart disease.
d.it is more likely to have high blood pressure.
4.when you get angry,what do you prefer to do after reading this passage?
a.repressing your anger.
b.expressing your anger freely.
c.finding the real cause of anger.
d.treating your anger reasonably.
答案:1.d 猜测词义题。repress意思是“压抑;抑制”,可以从express处判断。

although the women’s rights movement in the united states is thought of as a recent development,its beginnings date back to over one hundred and seventy years ago.at that time woman were dependents in the eyes of the law,and they did not have the rights of adults.a woman had no property(财产)rights,even over what she had got from her mother or father or over any wages that she earned.decisions about family matters and about the children were made by her husband,the “head of the family”.
the first public protests against the low position of women were made in the 1830’s.in 1848 the leaders of this movement(some of whom were antislavery activists as well)assembled the first women’s rights convention,demanding equality.in this struggle as well as in the long,hard fight for women’s vote,those who took part in the activities were laughed at and insulted(侮辱).they were said to be immoral,and their ideas were considered dangerous to society.
nevertheless by 1900 women had won the right to vote in several states,and in 1920 the nineteenth amendment to the constitution granted them the right to vote throughout the united states.by the time many women were attending college,and increasing numbers were entering professions which had before been forbidden to women.a limited number of women even held high academic and government positions.in spite of all this progress,“career women” were largely limited to teaching,nursing,and office work.
the women’s liberation movement,which developed during the 1960’s,has focused on economic rights such as “equal pay for equal work”.the main purpose of women’s liberation is to free women from the limited role which society has given to them.it seeks to enable them to choose between a career and the home or to choose the two.it claims that society as a whole would benefit if every person were allowed to develop his or her abilities and use them to the full.women’s liberation believes that the statement in the united states declaration of independence,“all men are created equal!” really means “all human beings are created equal”.
5.we know from this passage that ___________ over one hundred and seventy years ago.
a.no women worked outside their homes
b.women were considered as children by the law
c.women cared nothing about how their family lives were
d.women were not allowed to decide how to spend their money or how to teach children
6.the underlined word in the second paragraph probably means ___________.
a.to bring a group of people together in one place for a particular purpose
b.to make a public or official statement,especially about a plan,or decision
c.to produce many copies of a book,magazine,or newspaper
d.not to take part in an event or not to buy or use something as a protest
7.which of the following is true according to the passage?
a.in the 1920s,women were limited to being teachers,nurses or office workers.
b.women mainly paid their attention to how they were paid in the 1960s.
c.women asked to change “all men are created equal” into “all human beings are created equal”.
d.no states have ever provided women with jobs in the government.
8.what would be the best title for this passage?
a.women’s lives in the united states
b.equal pay for equal work
c.women’s liberation in the united states
d.women,their past and present

dear flowermouse,
thank you for your comments on how americans and chinese view each other.this is an important subject.modern technology has given many nations the chance of destroying other nations.this is a cruel picture but it is a realistic one.it means that every nation should make sure that these weapons of great destruction are never used.this requires greater understanding and greater acceptance of differences among people and nations in all parts of the planet.
your letter asks specifically about chinese american relationships but i want to let you know my feelings on a global scale.because china and america are the most powerful nations and i believe they have a special responsibility for promoting better understanding and for leading the way toward peaceful solutions to the world’s problems.
you ask how chinese american people view each other.this is an important question.because i know so little about china that i am not able to judge how chinese view americans.i am sure that the view differs according to individual experiences that persons might have.and it is not easy to describe america to foreigners.america is a vast mass of people and cultures.these people came from all parts of the world,from asia,africa,latin america,europe and australia.each brought a different culture and a different set of values within a single nation.
i believe that the vast majority of americans like the vast majority of chinese want peace and friendship between our two nations.both china and america have suffered through generations from war and violence in our history.and i believe that it is the special responsibility of all chinese and all americans to impress this need for mutual understanding on our neighbors in other countries.
so my friend,this is my response.please know that i write to you as a private person living in america.i do feel strongly that people everywhere have more in common than they have difference.we all share the same basic needs for existence and we all depend upon the same need for the survival of this beautiful planet—earth.maybe we can begin to encourage better communication and better understanding through my columns.i hope so.
9.from the passage we can know that flowermouse ________.
a.loves americans
b.has read about the writer’s articles
c.is american
d.know little about americans
10.it is likely that the writer ________.
a.disagrees with flowermouse
b.thinks it possible for nations to be destroyed due to modern technology
