When we 23 them respect, whether it is by bowing to them, or 24 them with a smile, or offering them any help they need, it is one way of 25 our own love and gratitude to them． 26, elders have also been through all the years you are 27 and know a little more about the world than you do．
It is 28 that you do not agree with the belief of your elders, but this is nothing new．All younger generations have always 29 with their elders and it is these differences that bring changes in human 30 ．However much you disagree with them, give them credit for their 31．
With changing times and 32 influences, youngsters no longer know what is interpreted as disrespect to elders．Youngsters should 33 express their views and if there are arguments, they should not 34 their voices．
If there is no space on sofas or chairs, children will immediately 35 their places, and sit on the carpet．In buses and trains, youngsters are 36 to give up their places to older people．This is not a 37 of who has more rights．It is simply that those who are younger have the strength to bear 38_, or tolerate unpleasantness, so it is natural to show consideration to those who are older and perhaps at a 39 disadvantage．
When you do simple things as a mark of respect, elders become 40 that youngsters care for them, and they respond with affection and kindness．

解析
22. B。前后是因果的关系，长者做出了很多，自然年轻人是要感激长者的。owe sth to sb把…归功给某人
23. A。后半句提到的都是表示尊敬的行为。
24. A。greeting them with a smile以微笑的形势问候。根据上下文判断微笑是表示尊敬的一种行为方式，多用在问候时。
25. A。和our own love and gratitude to them搭配的动词用express。传达我们的尊敬和爱戴。
26. C。通过语境可以判断出此句与前文是递进关系，所以用besides。
27. B。going through经历, 经受。这里时说人们要经历的岁月。
28. B。it is likely that 从句“很可能……”。
29. D。后文的differences说明年青人和年长者之间是有分歧的。
30. C。人们不同的思想才使得社会前进。根据上下文此处与changes 搭配的宾语应该用society。
31. A。前文提到了elders have also been through all the years说明长者们经历风雨，历尽沧桑。
32. A。此空用排除法。外来的东西要影响人们思想，在这当中文化的影响是主要的内容。
33. A。年轻人应该在和长者express their views 时表现尊敬的方式就是要轻声提问或是表述。
34. B。有不同观点表述时，礼貌的行为是不要大声说话。raise one’s voices意为“提高嗓门”。
35. C。根据文章主题在If there were no space on sofas or chairs条件下，年轻人礼貌的行为就是让位给老人。
36. A。 后文说到give up their places to older people，这是年轻人应该做的。be expected to do 被指望做……。
37. B。who has more rights这是争论的话题，所以用question。
38. D。or tolerate unpleasantness和前文内容是同样概念，因此与bear搭配的名词就是discomfort。
39. D。 show consideration to those，根据文章主旨those指的就是弱势群体，所以disadvantage前应该用slight。
40. A。先要意识到之后才能respond，因此用aware，become aware that …“意识到……”。
核心考点
试题【We should show respect to everybody, especially our elders because they are ahea】；主要考察你对题材分类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
Love
Love plays a pivotal role on our life．Love makes you feel wanted．Without love a person could go Hayward(不归路) and also become cruel and ferocious．In the early stage of our life, our parents are the ones who show us with unconditional love and care, they teach us about what is right and wrong, good and bad．But we always tend to take this for granted．It is only after marriage and having kids that a person understands and becomes sensitive to others feelings．Kids make a person responsible and mature and help us to understand life better．

Happiness and Sorrow
Materialistic happiness is short-lived, but happiness achieved by bringing a smile on others face gives a certain level of fulfillment．Peace of mind is the main link to happiness. No mind is happy without peace. We realize the true worth of happiness when we are in sorrow．Sorrow is basically due to death of a loved one, failure and despair. But these things are temporary and pass away.
Failure and Success
Failure is the path to success. It helps us to touch the sky, teaches us to survive and shows us a specific way. Success brings in money, fame, pride and self-respect. Here it becomes very important to keep our head on our shoulder. The only way to show our gratitude to God for bestowing success on us is by being humble, modest, courteous and respectful to the less fortunate ones.
Hope and Despair
Hope is what keeps life going. Parents always hope their children will do well．Hope makes us dream. Hope builds in patience. Life teaches us not to despair even in the darkest hour, because after every night there is a day. Nothing remains the same we have only one choice keep moving on in life and be hopeful.
Life teaches us not to regret over yesterday, for it has passed and is beyond our control. Tomorrow is unknown, for it could either be bright or dull. So the only alternative is work hard today, so that we will enjoy a better tomorrow.
小题1:In the passage, the author compares life to ．
| A．package | B．joy and sorrow |
| C．failure and success | D．hope and despair |
| A．Opinions | B．Politics | C．Education | D．Lifestyles |

| C．What you only can choose is to work hard today rather than tomorrow. |
| D．Enjoying a better tomorrow is your only choice． |
| A．To encourage people to love each other． |

According to an investigation by The Wall Street Journal, all it takes is a tiny file in a computer-a single code consisting of a long series of numbers and letters- to record the computer user’s age, gender, location, favorite movies and hobbies.
The newspaper reports that Lotame Solutions Inc., a New York company, uses sophisticated(高科技) software called a "beacon" to capture what people are typing on a website.
Lotame packages that data into profiles（个人资料）about individuals, only without their names, and sells the profiles to companies seeking customers．Batches of such data may be sold for a few dollars.
The Wall Street Journal survey discovered that spying on Internet users is one of the fastest-growing businesses on the World Wide Web.
The "cookie"- a tiny text file put on your PC by websites or marketing firms which might be used to remember your preferences for one site, or to track you across many sites is already old news．There are new and more complex tools such as "beacons" which scan in real time what people are doing on a webpage．These beacons instantly assess the Internet user’s location, income, shopping interests and even medical conditions.
Millions of Internet users around the world also face unprecedented（空前的）threats．Private, sensitive, personal and business information is being gathered and sold without their knowledge.
Companies insist the information they gather is anonymous and the data is used harmlessly. But the technology has grown so powerful that even some of the biggest websites in the US don’t know that they were installing intrusive files on visitors’ computers．These include MSN.com and Yahoo.com.
Next time you visit a webpage and find an ad banner advertising something you’ve been planning to buy, don’t be amazed that your computer can read your mind.
小题1:The purpose of the passage is to .
| A．introduce a tiny file in a computer-a single code |
| B．show how your individual information was let out when you surf the Internet |
| C．show how to protect your privacy |
| D．introduce a sophisticated software called a "beacon" |
| A．Lotame sells the profiles about individuals to companies seeking customers with their age, gender, location, hobbies and names |
| B．spying on Internet users is the fastest-growing businesses on the World Wide Web |
| C．some of the biggest websites in the US know they were installing intrusive files on visitors’ computers |
| D．a tiny file in a computer-a single code consisting of a long series of numbers and letters can record users’ information |
| A．because the data is used harmlessly．Internet users around the world will not face threats |
| B．when a person surf the Internet, his personal details may be let out without his knowledge |
| C．your computer can really read your mind |
| D．MSN.com and Yahoo.com．use software to capture what people are typing on a website |
| A．is a tiny text file put on your PC by websites |
| B．is a soft ware that can package that data into profiles about individuals |
| C．can assess the Internet user’s location, income, shopping interests and even medical conditions |
| D．is not more complex than the "cookie" |
| A．Neutral | B．Worried | C．Optimistic | D．Indifferent |
[2]Researchers in the state of Rhode Island measured the amount of the hormone(荷尔蒙) melatonin(降黑素) in people"s mouths at different times of the day. Melatonin causes people to feel sleepy.
[3]They found that melatonin levels rise later at night in teenagers than they do in children and adults. It remains at higher levels in teenagers later in the morning. They said this shows that teenagers have difficulty learning early in the morning. Yet most school systems in the United States begin high school classes at about seven o"clock.
[4]A few school districts have made some changes. In 1996, school officials in Edina, Minnesota, changed the start of classes from seven thirty to eight thirty. Two years later, the nearby city of Minneapolis did the same. Teachers there reported that students were no longer sleepy in class and were happier. Staying in school later in the day did not seem to be a problem for students who had jobs after school either.
[5]Health experts say that teenagers need between eight and nine hours of sleep a night. Students _________ are likely to be
late for school, fail to do their homework, fall asleep in class and have trouble taking part in class discussions.[6]Some people, however, don"t support a later start time because they say that it would limit the time for practicing sports after school. However, the Minnesota schools found that this did not hurt school sports competitions.
[7]More American school districts are discussing the possibility of changing high school start times. Researchers and teenagers say that they cannot make the change quickly enough.

A lazy Susan may also be a part of a kitchen cabinet (橱柜). In this sense, the lazy Susan is a type of shelving unit within the cabinet that is able to turn around its axis(轴心) . One may turn the lazy Susan in order to find certain goods in storage. From the outside, a lazy Susan appears to be two cabinets that are located at a right angle (直角) to each another. When one of these cabinets is pushed, however, both doors move and the lazy Susan is revealed inside.
It is believed that Thomas Jefferson invented the lazy Susan in the 18th century, though it was called “dumbwaiter” at that time. It is said that Jefferson invented the lazy Susan because his daughter complained she was always served last at table and, as a result, never found herself full when leaving the table. Others believe that Thomas Edison was the inventor, as he is believed to have invented the turntable for his phonograph (留声机). The turntable may have developed into the lazy Susan later.
Regardless of who invented it, it wasn’t until 1917 that the term “lazy Susan” was used in an advertisement for the invention. In Britain, however, the term “dumbwaiter” is still used rather than “lazy Susan”. The reason for the naming of it is still a mystery. One theory is that it was named after either Jefferson’s or Edison’s daughter, both of whom were named Susan.
小题1:What is a “lazy Susan”?
| A．A waitress | B．A convenient tool | C．A table | D．A cabinet |
| A．his daughter was very lazy | B．the lazy Susan didn’t exist until the 18th century |
| C．Thomas Edison was his friend | D．Thomas Edison didn’t invent the phonograph |
| A．the lazy Susan can work by itself |
| B．the lazy Susan was named after Thomas Edison’s daughter |
| C．how the lazy Susan got its name remains unknown |
| D．the lazy Susan was invented in Britain |
| A．discuss how the lazy Susan was named | B．teach us how to make a lazy Susan |
| C．introduce Thomas Edison’s inventions | D．tell us what a lazy Susan is and its origin |
Here are some definitions of the short story. My favorite is Benet"s: “something that can be read in an hour and remembered for a lifetime”. One writer said, “The theme of a novel won"t fit into the framework of a short story; It"s like trying to squeeze a large painting done on a wall into the frame of a miniature （微型画）。 And as in a miniature painting, the details need to be sharp. ”
The short story is an example of one aspect of human nature. Often a character undergoes some event, something that offers him or her change. This is why it’s said that short stories usually “say something ”， often a small something, but sometimes delivered with such accuracy that the effect is strongly felt, even a life-moment for some readers, something similar to a religious experience or to witnessing a never-to-be-repeated scene in nature.
Ok, let’s form a definition here: A short story is an account, rarely over 10, 000 words or below 500 words-more commonly 1, 500 to 5, 000 words-a single-sitting read, but with enough time and weight to move the reader. It is narrow and focused to produce an effect through the story, most commonly through events affecting some change in an individual.
Writer Isabelle Allende once wrote: “Novels are, for me, adding up details, just work, work, work, then you"re done. Short stories are more difficult-they have to be perfect, complete in themselves. ”
小题1:The writer of the passage is probably a ______.
| A．poet | B．painter | C．teacher | D．student |
| A．at most 10, 000 words | B．below 500 words | C．over 5, 000words | D．around 2, 000 words |
| A．experiences | B．discovers | C．discusses | D．appreciates |
| A．Novels are too long for us to read. |
| B．Short stories are too short for us to read. |
| C．Short stories have more details than novels. |
| D．Short stories are more perfect and difficult than novels. |
| A．How Do You Write a Short Story? | B．What Exactly Is a Short Story? |
| C．Is a Short Story Similar to Poetry? | D．Are Short Stories Perfect and Complete? |
