the thinnest. Now, however, fully recovered, I can reflect (反思) back and realize that my wishes were more
complex (复杂) than fitting into size five pants. Many of my subconscious (意识) emotions were related to
my relationship with my father. As I was growing up,his work always came first. Sometimes I would not
see him for up to two weeks. Not only did he devote his whole self to his work, but he expected me to do
the same ("You cannot get anywhere unless You go to the best universities"). Though, consciously, I never
felt pressure to please him, I began dieting after the first time he told me I looked fat.
At the time, all I knew was that I had to be skinny-skinnier than anyone else. Every month my father went
to Europe for a week or so and on the days he left,sorrow and emptiness consumed (折磨) me: Daddy was
leaving. Then, I tuned to focus on a mysterious weakness-a helpless childlike emotion that came from starving.
I liked to know that I needed to be taken care of; maybe Daddy would take care of me.
Now two years later and thirty-eight pounds heavier, I have come to realize that I cannot change my
father"s inability to express his feelings. Instead, I must accept myself. I know that I am a valuable person
who struggle to achieve and accomplish. But I cannot struggle only for others. By starving, I attempted to
gain pride in myself by getting my father"s approval (赞许) or acknowledgement of my value as a person.
But the primary approval must come from me, and I feel safe now that I can live with that knowledge safely
locked in my mind.
B. It is an inability to express one"s feelings.
C. It refers to people who are emotionally weak.
D. It is an illness that makes one want to stop eating.
B. She wanted to go to the best university.
C. She wanted her father"s attention.
D. She grew up in a poor family.
B. She is proud of herself for working hard to succeed.
C. She has had great confidence in herself since childhood.
D. She has changed her father"s way of expressing himself.
B. To report a case of child abuse (虐待).
C. To reflec a stage of growing up.
D. To teach people how to lose weight.

举一反三
I suffer from the most serious case of avoidance (回避反应症).
The thing is this: when I do set out to clean and re-organize my books, which seldom happens, I place
myself into a really bad situation. No sooner do I take a title from the shelf, blow off the dust, and wipe down
the cover than I find myself sitting on the floor with legs crossed and my back against the wall. Pretty soon
books get piled up on my legs as I am reunited with old friends.
It is as if these books have voices, and each wants to say its piece. "Remember me? I was given to you
when you went into the Navy, so that you would never lack for companionship," one whispers. Another says,
"I was your first book of poems, given to you before you learned to love poetry." And a third, "I was the book
that made history so attractive to you."
Perhaps the greatest pleasure of re-organizing my books are the surprises-or better said, reunions-that
occur. During my latest book-cleaning adventure, I found one that had fallen behind the shelf:"Tales of Edgar
Allan Poe." Not an unusual title, but the words written on the first page made it very special:"With Love from
Mom and Dad, Christmas 1965." What"s this? A book on the physics of lasers (激光). It is filled with
mathematical statements, and I had bought it at a library sale when I was 12, not long after the laser had been
invented. I couldn"t understand a bit of it, but I did learn what "laser" meant.
What I end up with when I empty my bookshelves is a cross-section (横剖面) of my personal history. It"s
like a road cut where one sees all the layers of rock going back through time to the beginning of the simplest
life forms. The books I"ve read-and kept-are not just old friends. They are my résumé.
B. He considers his books treasured possessions.
C. He has made a lot of notes in his books.
D. He is a lover of science books.
B. they are recorded in human voice
C. they say a lot about human history
D. they offer good topics for discussion
B. Putting books in good order.
C. Learning something new from the books.
D. Rediscovering interesting stories behind some books.
B. precious notes
C. good companion
D. simple life forms
you"re dead."
Dad, in a hurry to get home before dark so he could go for a run, had forgotten to wear his safety belt-a
mistake 75% of the US population make every day. The big question is why.
There have been many myths (谬论) about safety belts ever since their first appearance m cars some
forty years ago. The following are three of the most common.
Myth Number One: It"s best to be "thrown clear" of a serious accident.
Truth: Sorry, but any accident serious enough to "throw you clear" is also going to be serious enough
to give you a very bad landing. And chances are that you"ll have traveled through a wind-shield (挡风玻璃)
or door to do it. Studies show that chances of dying after a car accident are twenty-five times greater in
cases where people are "thrown clear".
Myth Number Two: Safety belts "trap" people in cars that are burning or sinking in water.
Truth: Sorry again but studies show that people knocked unconscious (昏迷) due to not wearing safety
belts have a greater chance of dying in these accidents. People wearing safety belts are usually protected to
the point of having a clear head to free themselves from such dangerous situations, not to be trapped in them.
Myth Number Three: Safety belts aren"t needed at speeds of less than 30 miles per hour.
Truth: When two cars traveling at 30 mph hit each other, an unbelted driver would meet the windshield
with a force equal to diving head first into the ground from a height of 10 meters.
B. He didn"t have his safety belt on.
C. He was running across the street.
D. He didn"t take his medicine on time.
B. hated to drive in the dark
C. wanted to take some exercise
D. didn"t want to be caught by the police
B. may be knocked down by other cars
C. may find it impossible to get away from the seat
D. may get caught in the car door
B. Never forget to wear a safety belt while driving.
C. Try your best to save yourself in a car accident.
D. Drive slowly while you"re not wearing a safety belt.

That"s when I 11 that if a tiny little sunflower didn"t let a big rock stand in its 12 of developing, we too

| When do people decide whether or not they want to become friends? During their first four minutes together, according to a book by Dr. Leonard Zunin. "Every time you meet someone in a social situation, give him your undivided attention for four minutes. A lot of people"s whole lives would change if they did just that." When we are introduced to new people, we should try to appear friendly and self-confident. In general, he says, "People like people who like themselves." On the other hand, we should not make the other person think we are too sure of ourselves. Hearing such advice, one might say, "But I"m not a friendly, self-confident person. That"s not my nature. It would be dishonest for me to act that way." In reply, Dr. Zunin would claim that a little practice can help us feel comfortable about changing our social habits. We can become accustomed to any changes we choose to make in our personality. "It"s like getting used to a new car. It may be unfamiliar at first, but it goes much better than the old one." But isn"t it dishonest to give the appearance of friendly self-confidence when we don"t actually feel that way? Perhaps, but according to Dr. Zunin, "total honesty" is not always good for social relationships, especially during the first few minutes of contact. There is a time for everything, and a certain amount of play-acting may be best for the first few minutes of contact with a stranger. That is not the time to complain about one"s health or to mention faults one finds in other people. It is not the time to tell the whole truth about one"s opinions and impressions. The author also declares that interpersonal relations should be taught as a required course in every school, along with reading, writing, and mathematics. In his opinion, success in life depends mainly on how we get along with other people. That is at least as important as how much we know. | |||
| 1. When first introduced to new people, we should _____. | |||
| A. be friendly and sure of ourselves regardless of the other people"s feeling B. always tell the whole truth even if it hurts C. appear friendly and self-confident at least for the first few minutes D. mention faults we find in the other people | |||
| 2. According to the author"s advice, interpersonal relations _____. | |||
| A. should be set as a required course in schools B. are more important than other courses in school C. are less important than reading, writing and mathematics D. is the only key to one"s success in life | |||
| 3. The underlined word "play-acting" in the fourth paragraph means _____. | |||
| A. being totally honest B. being a little dishonest C. acting out what one feels D. acting in a play | |||
| 4. The best title for the passage could be _____. | |||
| A. The Key to Success B. Best Ways to Make Friends C. Personal Relations D. The First Four Minutes | |||

| To all of you at Chinese love links, I am 44 years old and never married. I have always wanted to find that perfect someone that I dream about. For about the last five years I have almost given up the hope of ever finding the one I truly wish to spend the rest of my life with. I have always tried to be a nice guy. I had found your website some four or five months before. I did not know what to expect. I don"t know how to speak Chinese and never thought truly of how I was to an Asian woman. Well, I had a lot of replies from some very nice and pretty women. I had a hard time finding only a couple to write to. But one stood out from the rest. She was cute, nice and seemed to hold a lot of the same values as I do. In a short time I had decided to write only to her. We communicated via emails 2-3 times a day and phone calls once or twice a week. I went and met her and her family only a week ago. Her name is Ying and she lives in Nanning. I found Nanning to be one of the most beautiful cities I had ever been to. We had even decided to marry and to bring her to the USA under the fiancée visa. Not only did she meet everything I had ever hoped to find in someone else but turned out to be what every woman should be like, at least the ones I have met. We plan to marry as soon as she is here and start a family together as neither of us has children but we both want them. So to anyone out there reading this, I can only say this: You may not find what you are looking for if you"re not honest with your partner and yourself. This site worked for me mostly because I was honest with something that I wanted in someone else. When I did find her, love can work even across the other side of the world, between language differences and cultural differences. I wish you all luck in finding your perfect match. I have finally found mine and wish to give all my thanks to those at Chinese love links to help make it happen. Sincerely yours, Arthur | |||
