阅读理解     I don"t know how I became a writer, but I think it was because of a certain force in me that had to
write and that finally burst through and found a channel.My people were of the working class of people.
My father, a stonecutter, was a man with a great respect and veneration (崇敬) for literature.He had a
tremendous memory, and he loved poetry, and the poetry that he loved best was naturally of the
rhetorical kind that such a man would like.Nevertheless it was good poetry, Hamlet"s Soliloquy,
Macbeth, Mark Antony"s "Funeral Oration", Grey"s "Elegy", and all the rest of it.I heard it all as a
child; I memorized and learned it all.
     He sent me to college to the state university.The desire to write, which had been strong during all
my days in high school, grew stronger still.I was editor of the college paper, the college magazine, etc.,
and in my last year or two I was a member of a course in play writing which had just been established
there.I wrote several little oneact plays, still thinking I would become a lawyer or a newspaper man,
never daring to believe I could seriously become a writer.Then I went to Harvard, wrote some more
plays there, became obsessed with (着迷于) the idea that I had to be a playwright, left Harvard, had
my plays rejected, and finally in the autumn of 1926, how, why, or in what manner I have never exactly
been able to determine.But probably because the force in me that had to write at length sought out its
channel, I began to write my first book in London.I was living all alone at that time.I had two rooms-a
bedroom and a sitting room-in a litter square in Chelsea in which all the houses had that familiar, smoked
brick and creamyellowplaster look.

A.  made an important contribution

2.  The author believes that he became a writer mostly because of________.

A.  his special talent
B.  his father"s teaching and encouragement
C.  his study at Harvard
D.  a hidden urge within him

3.  The author________.

A.  began to think of becoming a writer at Harvard
B.  had always been successful in his writing career
C.  went to Harvard to learn to write plays
D.  worked as a newspaper man before becoming a writer

4.  The author really started on his way to become a writer______.

A.  when he was in high school
B.  when he was studying at Harvard

阅读理解     Someday a stranger will read your email without your permission or scan the websites you"ve visited.
Or perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit card purchases or cell phone bills to find out
your shopping preferences or calling habits.
    In fact,it"s likely that some of these things have already happened to you.Who would watch you without
your permission ? It might be a spouse, a girlfriend, a marketing company, a boss, a cop or a criminal.
Whoever it is,they will see you in a way you never intended to be seen-21st century is the equal of being
caught naked.
     Psychologists tell us boundaries (dividing line) are healthy,and that it"s important to reveal yourself to
friends,family and lovers in stages,at appropriate times.But few boundaries remain.The digital bread pieces
you leave everywhere make it easy for strangers to reconstruct who you are,where you are and what you
like.In some cases,a simple Google search can reveal what you think.Like it or not,increasingly we live in
a world where you simply cannot keep a secret
.The key question is:Does that matter?
     When opinion polls  (民意测验) ask Americans about privacy, most say they are concerned about
losing it. A survey found an overwhelming  (very large)  pessimism about privacy , with 60 percent of
respondents saying they feel their privacy is "slipping away,and that bothers me."
     But people say one thing and do another.Only a  tiny part of  Americans change any behaviors  in an
effort to protect their privacy.Few people turn down a tollbooth  (收费站)  to avoid using the  EZPass
system that can track automobile movements. And few turn down supermarket loyalty cards. Privacy
economist Alissanfro Acquisti has a series of tests that reveal that people will give personal information
like Social Security numbers just to get their hands on a pitiful 50centoff coupon (优惠券).
     But privacy does matter-at least sometimes.It"s like health;when you have it,you don"t notice it.Only
when it"s gone do you wish you"d done more to protect it.1.What would psychologists advise on the relationship between friends?A.Friends should open their hearts to each other.
B.Friends should always be faithful to each other.
C.There should be a distance even between friends.
D.There should be fewer quarrels between friends.2.Why does the author say "we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret"?A.Modern society has finally developed into an open society.
B.People leave traces around when using modern technology.
C.There are always people who are curious about others" affairs.
D.Many search engines profit by revealing people"s identities3.What do most Americans do about privacy protection?A.They change behaviors that might disclose their identity.
B.They use various loyalty cards for business deals.
C.They rely more and more on electronic devices.
D.They talk a lot but hardly do anything about it.4.According to the passage,privacy is like health because________.A.people will make every effort to keep it
B.its importance is rarely understood
C.it is something that can easily be lost
D.people don"t value it until they lost it

阅读理解     Children become more generous as they get older, learning the principles of equality by the age of
eight. That may not be too surprising to anyone who has kids.
     Humans are born with a sense of fairness that most other animals seem not to share, but it"s not been
clear exactly when this concept starts to develop.
     Dr.Alva Zhao and her colleagues conducted a series of tests to measure just how much children care
about equality at different ages.In three different versions of a game, children were asked to choose
between two ways of sharing a number of sweets with themselves and an unfamiliar partner.They could
choose, for example, between one for me and one for you, or just having one for themselves.
     At the age of three, children were "almost completely selfish", says Zhao.
     They refused to give sweets away even if it made no difference to themselves.But by the age of eight,
children generally preferred the fair option, sharing a prize equally rather than keeping it all to themselves.
     Several other factors influenced how fair the children were.The team found that children without
brothers or sisters were 28% more likely to share than children with brothers or sisters.On the other
hand, the youngest children in a family were 17% less willing to share than children who had only
younger brother or sister.
      In addition, if children knew that their partner was from the same playgroup or school, they were
more concerned about being fair.This suggests that being nice to people you know is something that
develops a sense of equality.

1. The main idea of the first paragraph is________.

A. parents know clearly when their kids are more willing to share
B. the kids" willingness of sharing is learned from their family
C. the older the kids are, the more selfish they will become
D. kids become more generous when they reach a certain age

2. The tests conducted by Dr.Alva Zhao and her colleagues were aimed at________.

A. how kids develop a quality of fairness in games
B. children"s awareness of equality at different ages
C. the reasons why children care about equality
D. children"s attitudes towards other partners

3. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A. Children under three know little about being fair.
B. Children above eight years old become less selfish.
C. Children with brothers or sisters tend to be more generous.
D. The youngest child in a family tends to be less generous.

4. We can learn that children care more about equality while with________.

A. unknown people  
B. nice people
C. familiar people
D. fair people
