Rather than ending up in an endless back and forth, forget about the issue for a minute. Instead, think about how you feel she"s acting toward you and ask her if that"s how she feels about you. If you think she"s being unfair, ask her if she thinks you"re being unfair. Switching the focus to that shared feeling can help your wife see things from your point of view.
It"s important to accept the fact that there"s a two-way street between you and your wife. If you think she doesn"t make enough of an effort to see things from your point of view, you have to ask yourself if you"re making an effort to see it her way.
Realize nobody can wave a magic wand to make you and your wife completely understand each other all the time. Many couples have an extremely close friendship and do almost everything together before they"re married. Once you"ve tied the knot, you may begin to notice that you"re not as alike as you once thought.
It seems obvious, but some guys get fooled into thinking their wife will be as excited about all of their interests and hobbies as they are. Don"t be surprised when you find out that she"s not just like "one of the guys." Sooner or later you"ll realize that she might be going along with some of your interests just to make you happy.
Rather than feel offended if you find out she"s not as into your favorite hobby as you thought, appreciate the effort she put into making you happy. Swallow your pride and try to take part in some of her hobbies, too, even if you might be a little put off at first. While you"re not going to be trying on makeup with her, you could try baking a recipe together.
If either of you is always giving everything and getting nothing in return, there"s going to be bitterness. The best marriages are built on compromise. You knew you were going to have to give and take for your marriage to work; now it"s time to make it happen.

However, what surprised us is that although a series of misdeeds had reduced KFC’s reputation, its business is increasing. What’s more, KFC just made a so-called apology after what had happened, the content of which is not responsible at all for the public. As a matter of fact, this is not an ordinary chance incident. Recent years have seen so many food-safety problems in China, such as wasted oil, lean meat powder(瘦肉精), melamine(三聚氰胺), which has done great damage to people’s life. We don’t know what can be eaten and how much harmful food we have eaten. Now it is not wars and natural disasters but everyday food safety that has been a great risk to human health.
So what can be done to prevent our health from being damaged? To begin with, the related departments should strengthen laws to stop such illegal products from being produced. In addition, it would be a good idea to call on the media to perform its further function to monitor the businesses, factories and traders. Besides, everybody should be made aware of the risks of harmful food and only in this way can people improve their self-protection. In a word, everyone should play a role in making our food safer and better in quality. Meanwhile, the government and the related departments should take their responsibilities for people’s health.
小题1:According to the text, we can learn that KFC made itself in severe trust crisis________.
A.because it had food safety problems many times |
B.because it is one of the most famous fast-food chains |
C.no people went to it |
D.many people don’t like it |
A.KFC was closed |
B.KFC apologized to the public though it was not sincere |
C.no people went to KFC |
D.there is no longer chicken in KFC |
A.war | B.natural disaster | C.food safety | D.disease |
A.introduce some food safety incidents | B.make people not support KFC |
C.ask people not to eat fast food | D.appeal to people for food safety |
“Have a nice day. Next!” This version of the expression is spoken by a salesgirl at the supermarket who is rushing me and my groceries out the door. The words come out in the same tone(腔调)with a fixed procedure. They are spoken at me, not to me. Obviously, the concern for my day and everyone else’s is the management’s attempt to increase business.
The expression is one of those behaviors that help people get along with each other. Sometimes it indicates the end of a meeting. As soon as you hear it, you know the meeting is at an end. Sometimes the expression saves us when we don’t know what to say. “Oh, you just had a tooth out? I’m terribly sorry, but have a nice day.”
The expression can be pleasant. If a stranger says “Have a nice day” to you, you may find it heart-warming because someone you don’t know has tried to be nice to you.
Although the use of the expression is an insincere, meaningless social custom at times, there is nothing wrong with the sentence except that it is a little uninteresting. The salesgirl, the waitress, the teacher, and all the countless others who speak it without thinking may not really care about my day. But in a strange and comfortable way, it’s nice to know they care enough to pretend they care when they really don’t care all that much. While the expression may not often be sincere, it is always spoken. The point is that people say it all the time when they like.

Since the tables’ coating was still , the man asked us to wait a while before taking our tables to our dormitories. But I couldn’t wait. I dashed out the door in a , carrying my table, smiling from ear to ear.
“It is very pretty,” Mother Winter smiled at me. When she touched the coating she noticed that it was still wet. Then she asked me why I had brought. I stood with down. “Were you supposed to bring this home?” she asked. “No, ma’am, ” I said.
Mother Winters kicked the table over and all of the legs were off. She made me throw the table outside. After Mother Winters left, I went out to get my little table. There was dirt all over it. silently, I hid the ruined table in my closet. A year later I gave it to Mother Henderson, my houseparent, to .
Thirty years later I learned Mother Henderson was living in Asheville, North Carolina, so I drove up to see her. She gently asked me to come down to her basement and help her get something . “Do you remember that?” she asked, into a dark corner. I did. I could not speak for fear of crying. “Roger, I want you to it.” Mother Henderson gave me back the little that I had given up for lost so long ago. She had kept it, never if she would see me again.
Today, I look at the table with bittersweet memories. I think of when Mother Winters forced me to throw it away. But I am also and joyful at the kindness of Mother Henderson, who kept it as a remembrance of a young orphan who tried very hard to .

First, let’s talk about culture. The difference between the mobile phone and its parent, the fixed-line phone, is that a mobile number corresponds to a person, while a landline goes to a place. If you call my mobile, you get me. If you call my fixed-line phone, you get whoever answers it.
This has several implications(含义). The most common one, however, and perhaps the thing that has changed our culture forever, is the “meeting” influence. People no longer need to make firm plans about when and where to meet. Twenty years ago, a Friday night would need to be arranged in advance. You needed enough time to allow everyone to get from their place of work to the first meeting place. Now, however, a night out can be arranged on the run. It is no longer “see you there at 8”,but “text me around 8 and we’ll see where we all are.”
Texting changes people as well. In their paper, “Insights into the Social and Psychological Effects of SMS (Short Message Service) Text Messaging", two British researchers distinguished between two types of mobile phone users: the “talkers” and the “texters”-those who prefer voice to text messages and those who prefer text to voice.
They found that the mobile phone’s individuality and privacy gave texters the ability to express a whole new outer personality. Texters were likely to report that their family would be surprised if they were to read their texts. This suggests that texting allowed texters to present a self-image that differed from the one familiar to those who knew them well.
Another scientist wrote of the changes that mobiles have brought to body language. There are two kinds that people use while speaking on the phone. There is the “speakeasy”: the head is held high, in a self-confident way, chatting away. And there is the “spacemaker”: these people focus on themselves and keep out other people.
Who can blame them? Phone meetings get cancelled or reformed and camera- phones intrude(侵入)on people’s privacy. So, it is understandable if your mobile makes you nervous. But perhaps you needn’t worry so much. After all, it is good to talk.
小题1:The “meeting” influence of a mobile phone refers to the fact that ________.
A.people can arrange their meeting place and time more flexibly |
B.people have to make a firm plan about when and where to meet |
C.people are able to meet someone at any place and any time |
D.people have to attend phone meetings than ever before |
A.talkers | B.the “speakeasy” | C.the “space maker” | D.texters |
A.talkers | B.the “speakeasy” | C.the “spacemaker” | D.texters |

B.Changes Caused by Mobile Phone Use |

One ceremony that has become part of coming of age has been the senior prom (毕业舞会). The senior prom is an opportunity for youth to celebrate the entrance into the world of adulthood with color and formality. However, there is far more behind the social event than ever noticed.
What is formal? Formal means to present one’s self to others in a way which is “with form”, with shape, polite, inoffensive and organized. We see the example of a formal letter; it uses proper grammar and sentence structure in order to be respectful, while at the same time serving a purpose or getting an important message across.
In our society, what is formal? Very little. On average, clothing, language, behavior --- all is very informal. Individuals who are formal (polite, inoffensive, organized) in their daily dealings with people are often looked upon as boring. Yet in certain situations, individuals play with the concept of formality not truly to achieve respectfulness and order but because it becomes fashionable to do so. While a prom may seem, on the surface, like a fun opportunity to behave formally, it is actually a flowery version of Halloween.
On the occasion of the spring prom, we see flowering youth taking on the formalities of “adult”. Fine dress, careful makeup, luxury cars all become part of being an adult. But being “adult” isn’t that way.
In our society we have a wrong idea of what adulthood actually is. It has always been my understanding that adulthood and maturity (成熟) are not based upon one’s ability to hold a cigarette in a certain way or tie a bow tie. Adulthood comes with understanding of one’s place in the universe; it comes with the knowledge of how to interact with our fellow human beings; it comes with the ability to take responsibility for one’s own actions --- whether good or bad.
小题1:The “safe havens” (Paragraph 1) most probably refers to ______.
A.families | B.high schools | C.mother countries | D.hometowns |
A.show the importance of communication |
B.discuss the purpose of a formal letter |
C.explain what real “formal” is like |
D.complain today’s letters are too formal |
A.great fun | B.out of fashion | C.actually informal | D.beautifully decorated |
A.put on heavy makeup | B.better get on with others |
C.learn to smoke cigarettes | D.buy a luxury car or dress |
