famous Top of the Hub was wonderful, especially the lobster soup and warm chocolate cake.
But it wasn"t the choice of restaurant that was making me so happy this particular Saturday night. It was
that we had enjoyed a day of college touring in Boston without everyone feeling bored.
Anyone who has ever toured colleges with a high school student-and I"m on my third round-knows that"s
no small feat. I"ve driven four hours to a college, but my son refused to get out of the car because he didn"t
like the 1ook of the campus; I"ve flown halfway across the country, but my daughter gave up before the tour
because she didn"t like the way the other future college students looked and because the campus was "too flat".
You can imagine my pleasure this Saturday night in America"s College Town (Boston is believed to have
the most colleges and universities in a city area). 16-year-old Melanie was thoroughly enjoying herself. It helped
that we booked a new hotel, the Liberty Hotel, built on the site of a former jail and had time to visit the Museum
of Science, which was a short walk from our hotel.
Boston has become a popular college tour stop, so don"t think you can avoid the crowds by touring
campuses in winter. Also, don"t plan to visit more than two campuses a day. An official says that it"s important
to spend some time exploring the surrounding area as well as the campus to get a true sense of what it would
be like to go to school there.
Boston, with so many different kinds of schools, is a great place to reassure (使……安心) your nervous
child, and yourself, that there is indeed a school where they will feel welcome and where they will be happy.
B. Choosing a good college for your kids.
C. The rise in touring of Boston"s colleges.
D. Tips for college selecting in Boston.
B. it"s hard to get children interested in visiting universities
C. children don"t want their parents to be with them while visiting
D. the places they visited are too simple and boring
B. That the hotel was near America"s College Town.
C. That the universities were concentrated in the city area.
D. That they booked a new hotel built on a former jail.
B. To have a good look at the university they have applied to.
C. To find a sch001 which they really like.
D. To enjoy the cultural sites around the universities.

your need for sleep. And the aircraft"s bathroom is a total mess. These situations can make even a short flight
unbearable. Hopefully you don"t cause these unpleasant experiences for others. Instead, you can set an example
by following these common airplane courtesies.
Always recline your seat slowly. There"s nothing worse than suddenly being slammed in the knees by the
seat in front of you. In addition, don"t keep your seat reclined for the entire flight. Always keep it upright
position before going to the restroom (or anytime you leave your seat).
Avoid going to the bathroom during mealtime. Wait until the meal is done and all the food trays have been
collected. It"s hard for passengers to stand up to let you pass when they still have their food trays. And when
using the bathroom,always clean up after your-self-the next user will be grateful!
Keep your body-and your possessions-to yourself as much as possible so as not to crowd your in-flight
seatmate(s). Share the armrest, especially on a long flight. Also, be careful not to kick or push on the seat in
front of you, and don"t allow your children to do so either.
While some people enjoy chatting with other passengers during a flight, not everyone does. Some people
may want to nap, read or work. If the conversation seems one-sided, take the hint.
If you are traveling with someone and want to chat,keep your voices low. If using electronic gadgets,
keep the volume down. People can still hear through your headphones if the volume is too high.
When exiting the plane, if others are having trouble with their carry-on luggage, help them if you can.
If you can"t help, wait patiently, and don"t push past people to get off the airplane.
On your next flight, remember that it all boils down to the golden rule. Treat others the way you want
to be treated!
B. Keep your belongings to yourself as much as possible.
C. Use your headphones and keep the volume down.
D. All the above.
B. a newspaper
C. a magazine
D. a science book
B. manners
C. experiences
D. passengers
B. Bad manners in the sky.
C. Behave yourself in the sky.
D. Treat others the way you want to be treated.
schools and to non-native speakers learning the language. It is also the variety which is normally spoken by
educated people and used in news broadcasts and other similar situations. The difference between standard
and non-standard, it should be noted, has nothing in principle (原理) to do with differences between formal
and informal language: Standard English has informal as well as formal variants.
Historically the standard variety of English is based on the London Dialect of English that developed after
the Norman Conquest resulted in the removal of the Court from Winchester to London. This dialect became
the one preferred by the educated, and it was developed and promoted as a model, or norm, for wider and
wider parts of society. It was also the norm that was carried overseas. But not one unaffected by such export.
Today, standard English is codified (编写) to the degree that the grammar and vocabulary of English are much
the same everywhere in the world where English is used: difference among the local standards is really quite
minor, so that the Singapore, South Africa, and Irish varieties are really very little different from one another
so far as grammar and vocabulary are concerned. Indeed, standard English is so powerful that it puts a
tremendous pressure on all local varieties, to the degree that many of the long-established dialects of England
have lost much of their vigor (活力) and there is much pressure on them to converge (靠拢) towards the
standard. This latter situation is not unique to English:it is also in other countries where processes of
standardization are under way. But it sometimes creates problems for speakers who try to strike some kind
of compromise between local norms and national, even super-national ones.
B. the influence between standard English and non-standard English
C. the origin and development of standard English used nowadays
D. the difference between standard English and the London dialects
B. Standard English doesn"t differ from non-standard English in principle.
C. Informal English is the same as non-standard English.
D. Standard English is better than Non-standard English.
B. by educated and native speakers only
C. in news broadcasts
D. in print
B. difference among dialects to grow
C. many dialects to lose uniqueness
D. many new varieties to disappear
B. differs little from any variety of English in the world
C. differs greatly from dialects outside the U.K
D. differs a little from any variety of English
a tattoo (纹身) design on her arm and she has a small child in her shopping trolley, what would your opinion
be? Do you think this kind of body decoration is attractive or ugly? Different people have different ideas. The
following are some examples of body decoration from around the world.
In many parts of Africa, it is thought that an attractive girl should have really shinny skin.
On Bali, a little island in Indonesia, they believe that a beautiful woman or handsome man must have
perfectly straight, flat teeth. The Balinese believe that teeth with pointed edges make you look like an ugly wild
animal. So when a girl or boy becomes a teenager, he or she is taken to a special person in their village who
will file off teeth points to make them smooth and flat. There is no anesthetic (麻药) and this tooth filing is
really painful. It is a kind of test. If you can stand it without screaming or crying too much, then you are
thought ready to become an adult.
In Myanmar, there is a small group of people who are called the "Papaung". They believe that a woman can
only be really beautiful if she has a long neck. I mean a VERY long neck. Now you might think that you are
either born with a long or short neck and that there"s nothing whatever you can do about it. But you would be
wrong! At around the age of 5, a Papaung girl has heavy metal rings fitted around her neck, tightly between the
chin and shoulders. Each year more rings are added and very, very slowly their weight pushes the shoulders
down, in this way making the neck look longer. A Papaung woman will wear her neck rings all her life, never
once taking them off.
B. Body decoration.
C. Attractive decoration.
D. Beautiful body decoration.
B. luggage
C. schoolbag
D. basket
B. a person with straight, flat teeth looks ugly
C. a teenager"s teeth points must be filed off with anesthetic
D. no one will scream or cry when having his teeth points filed off
B. It is thought that a beautiful woman should have straight, flat teeth on Bali.
C. Some people think it beautiful that a woman has a long neck in Myanmar.
D. Many people think that a woman with a ring through nose is neither attractive nor ugly.
but places tend to be called names as points of reference by people. Then an organized body steps in and gives
the place a name. Frequently it happens that a place has two names: One is named by the people and the other
by the government. As in many areas, old habits died hard, and the place continues to be called by its unofficial
name long after the meaning is lost.
Many roads and places in Singapore (新加坡) are named in order that the pioneers will be remembered by
future generations. Thus we have names such as Stamford Road and Raffles Place. This is in keeping with
traditions in many countries-in both the West and the East.
Another way of naming places is naming them after other places. Perhaps they were named to promote
friendships between the two places or it could be that the people who used to live there were originally from
the places that the roads were named after. The mystery is clearer when we see some of the roads named in
former British bases. If you step into Selector Airbase you will see Piccadilly Circus-obviously named by some
homesick Royal Air Force personnel.
Some places were named after the activities that used to go on at those places. Bras Basah Road is an
interesting example, "Base Basah" means "wet rice" in Malay (马来语). Now why would anyone want to name
a road "Wet Rice Road"? The reason is simple. During the pioneering days, wet rice was laid out to dry along
this road.
A few roads in Singapore are named by their shapes. There is "Circular Road" for one. Other roads may
have part of their names to describe their shapes, like "Paya Lebar Crescent". This road is called a crescent (月
牙) because it begins on the main road, makes a crescent and comes back to join the main road again.
B. the government is usually the first to name a place
C. a ceremony will be held when a place is named
D. people prefer the place names given by the government
B. Change significantly.
C. Disappear very slowly.
D. Disappear mysteriously.
B. Selector Airbase.
C. Piccadilly Circus.
D. Paya Lebar Crescent.
B. after a place
C. by its shape
D. after an activity
B. Young Singaporeans have forgotten the pioneers.
C. Some place names in Singapore are the same as in Britain.
D. Some places in Singapore are named for military purposes.
a manager gets a new sports car, a big house and pleasure boats dance into view.
The many needs of mankind might be regarded as making up several levels. When there is money enough
to satisfy one level of needs, another level appears.
The first and most basic level of needs involves food. Once this level is satisfied, the second level of needs,
clothing and some sort of shelter, appears. By the end of World War Ⅱ, these needs were satisfied for a great
majority of Americans. Then a third level appeared. It included such items as automobiles and new houses.
By 1957 or 1958 this third level of needs was fairly well satisfied. Then, in the late 1950s, a fourth level of
needs appeared; the "life-enriching" level. While the other levels involve physical satisfaction, that is, the need
in comfort, safety, and transportation, this level stresses mental needs for recognition, achievement, and
happiness. It includes a variety of goods and services, many of which could be called "luxury" items. Among
them are vacation trips, the best medical and dental care, and recreation. Also included here are fancy goods
and the latest styles in clothing.
On the fourth level, a lot of money is spent on services, while on the first three levels more is spent on good
s. Will consumers raise their sights to a fifth level of needs as their income increases, or will they continue to
demand luxuries and personal services on the fourth level?
A fifth level would probably involve needs that can be achieved best by community action. Consumers may
be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease, ignorance, crime, and prejudice. After
filling our stomachs, our clothes closets, our garages, our teeth, and our minds, we now may seek to ensure
the health, safety, and leisure to enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels.
B. he has grown dissatisfied with his simple shelter
C. he has satisfied his hunger
D. he has learned to build houses
B. lived in poverty
C. had the good things on the first three levels
D. did not own automobiles
B. A comfortable home.
C. A good meal.
D. A family car.
B. The more mental satisfaction the better.
C. The more "luxury" items the better.
D. The more earnings the better.
