2、sponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. 0 You must have been troubled by when to say “I love you“ because it is one of the greatest puzzles in our life. What if you say it first and your partner doesnt love you back? Or if they do say it, but you dont feel they mea
3、n it? Being the first to declare your love can be very nervous and risk-y and can leave you feeling as vulnerable as a turtle with no shell. But is the person who says it first really in a position of weakness? Doesnt it pay to hold back, play it cool and wait until the other half has shown their ha
4、nd fast? “A really good relationship should be about being fair and being equal, “ says psychologist Sidney Crown. “But love is seldom equal. “ All relationships go through power struggles but, he says, if a love imbalance continues for years, the trouble will set in. “That feeling of Ive always lov
5、ed you more may be subverted(破坏 )for a time, but it never goes away completely and it often emerges in quarreling.“ In love, at least, the silent, withholding type is not always the most powerful. “The strongest one in a relationship is often the person who feels confident enough to talk about their
6、 feelings,“ says educational psychologist Ingrid Collins. Psychosexual therapist Paula Hall agrees, “The one with the upper hand is often the person who takes the initiative. In fact, the person who says I love you first may also be the one who says Im bored with you first.“ Hall believes that much
7、depends on how “I love you“ is said and the motivation of the person saying it. “Is it said when theyre drunk? Is it said before their partner sets off on holiday, and what it really means is please dont be unfaithful to me? By saying I love you , they are really saying Do you love me? If so, wouldn
8、t it just be more honest to say that?“ Collins agrees that intention is everything. “Its not what is said, but how its said. What it comes down to is the sincerity of the speaker.“ 1 What is the main idea of this passage? （ A） The importance of “I love you“. （ B） The meaning of “I love you“. （ C） Th
9、e time of saying “I love you“. （ D） The place of saying “I love you“. 2 In the first sentence the author means that _. （ A） it is easy to say “I love you“ （ B） it is hard to say “I love you“ （ C） we have many troubles in our life （ D） people usually do not know when to say “I love you“ 3 According t

In the United States, where sociologists have studied
12、the effects, some interesting observations have been made. Television, although not essential, has become an important part of most peoples lives. It alters peoples ways of seeing the world; in many ways, it supports and sustains(维持 )modern life. Television has become a baby-sitter, an introducer of
13、 conversations, the major transmitter of culture and a keeper of tradition. Yet when what can be seen on TV in one day is critically analyzed, it becomes evident that television is not a teacher but a sustainer; the poor quality of programming does not elevate(提高 )people into greater understanding,
14、but rather maintains and encourages the life as it exists. The primary reason for the lack of quality in American television is related to both the history of TV programming development and the economics of TV. Television in America began with the radio. Radio companies and their sponsors first expe
15、rimented with television. Therefore, the close relationship which the advertisers had with radio programs became the system for American TV. Sponsors not only paid money for time within programs, but many actually produced the programs. Thus, in American society, television is primarily concerned wi
16、th reflecting and attracting society rather than experimenting with new ideas. Advertisers want to attract the largest viewing audience possible. To do so requires that the programs be entertaining rather than educational, attractive rather than challenging. Television in America today remains, to a
17、 large extent, with the same organization and standards as it had thirty years ago. The hope for further development and true achievement toward improving society will require a change in the entire system. 6 According to the author, American television is poor in quality because _. （ A） advertisers
18、 are interested in experimenting with new ideas （ B） it is still at an early stage of development, compared with the radio （ C） the programs have to be developed in the interests of the sponsors for economic reasons （ D） it is controlled by radio companies 7 The second paragraph is mainly about _. （
19、 A） TV as the sustainer of American life （ B） TV as the major transmitter of culture （ C） the educational effect of TV on society （ D） the strong influence and the poor quality of American TV 8 In the authors view American TV should _. （ A） be critical but entertaining （ B） be creative and education
20、al （ C） change with the development of society （ D） attract as many viewers as possible 9 The author believes that television in the United States has become important to most people because_. （ A） it promotes family unity （ B） it helps them develop their speaking ability （ C） it affects their life
21、in many ways （ D） it challenges society 10 The authors attitude towards American television is _. （ A） critical （ B） praising （ C） doubtful （ D） sympathetic 10 Fifteen years ago, I entered the Boston Globe, which was a temple to me then. It wasnt easy getting hired. But once you were there, I found,
22、 you were in. Globe jobs were for life-guaranteed until retirement. For 15 years I had prospered there - moving from an ordinary reporter to foreign correspondent and finally to senior editor. I would have a lifetime of security if I stuck to it. Instead, I had made a decision to leave. I entered my
23、 bosss office. Would he rage? I wondered. He had a famous temper. “Matt, we have to have a talk,“ I began awkwardly. “I came to the Globe when I was twenty-four. Now Im forty. Theres a lot 1 want to do in life. Im resigning. “ “To another paper?“ He asked. I reached into my coat pocket, but didnt sa
24、y anything. I handed him a letter that explained everything. It said that I was leaving to start a new media company. We were at a rare turning point in history. I wanted to be directly engaged in the change. “Im glad for you,“ he said, quite out of my expectation. “1 just came from a board of direc
25、tors meeting and it was seventy-five percent discouraging news. Some of that we can deal with. But much of it we cant, “ he went on. “I wish you all the luck in the world, “ he concluded. “And if it doesnt work out, remember, your star is always high here.“ Then I went out of his office, walking thr
26、ough the newsroom for more good-byes. Everybody was saying congratulations. Everybody even though Id be risking all on an unfamiliar venture: all the financial security I had carefully built up. Later, I had a final talk with Bill Taylor, chairman and publisher of the Boston Globe. He had turned the
27、 Globe into a billion-dollar property. “Im resigning, Bill,“ I said. He listened while I gave him the story. He wasnt looking angry or dismayed either. After a pause, he said, “Golly, I wish I were in your shoes.“ 11 From the passage we know that the Globe is a famous_. （ A） newspaper （ B） magazine
28、（ C） temple （ D） church 12 If the writer stayed with the Globe, _. （ A） be would be able to realize his lifetime dreams （ B） he would let his long-cherished dreams fade away （ C） he would never have to worry about his future life （ D） he would never be allowed to develop his ambitions 13 The writer

30、trouble with its staff members （ B） a shortage of qualified reporters （ C） an unfavorable business situation （ D） a promising business situation 15 By saying “I wish I were in your shoes“(in the last paragraph)Bill Taylor meant that （ A） the writer was to fail （ B） the writer was stupid （ C） he woul
31、d reject the writers request （ D） he would do the same if possible 15 Do you find it very difficult and painful to get up in the morning? This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle. During the hours when you labor throu
32、gh your work you may say that youre “hot“. Thats true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it
33、 leads to such familiar monologues as: “Get up, Peter! Youll be late for work again!“ The possible explanation to the trouble is that Peter is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycl
34、e each member of the family has. You cant change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit if better habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe youre sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later th
35、an you want to. If your energy is low in the morning, but you have an important thing to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This wont change your cycle, but youll get up steam and work better at your low point. Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely y
36、awn and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.
