not just houses and shops and grown-ups, but colors and flowers and journeys, especially journeys which
seemed endless."Are we there yet, Daddy?"
Funfairs (游乐场) were huge things that spread for miles around you with noise and lights and exciting
danger. Rainy days at home when you were ill seemed to last for ever. Being a grown-up yourself was an
unthinkable distant possibility. Every sound was louder, every game was grander, every pain unbearable.
As I"ve grown old, life has become smaller. Tastes have bulled. Surprises have lurned into shocks. Days
go by unnoticed. How can I regain childhood when it was an illusion?
I have only one repeatable and wonderful way and even in this way I can regain only part of that larger
world. I can play upon the stage like a child and make the crowd laugh and laugh with them, sometimes
helplessly like a child, and then, even though I"m a sixty-one-year-old man, I can almost catch the colors and
sounds and stillness of those bigger years when I was little.

been handed to you by mistake? Worse, have you ever given a present and watched your friend look as
though she had opened the wrong box? Maybe she responded with a polite "Why, thank you," but you
knew you had missed the mark. Why do presents sometimes go wrong? And what do your choices (good
and had) reflect about your personal qualities?
Choosing the right gift is an art, I believe. It calls for empathy－the ability to put yourself into someone
else"s head and heart. We"re all able to do this; in fact, we"re born with a kind of natural empathy. After the
earliest period of childhood, however, it needs to be reinforced (加强)－by our parents, teachers, friends.
When it isn"t, we"re not able to understand other people"s feelings as sharply. This can show in the gifts we
select, and so can many other emotional (情感的) qualities.
Think back to the presents you"ve given over the past year, the time and effort you put into your selection,
how much you spent, your thoughts while you were shopping,and your feelings when the receiver opened
the package. Keep in mind that what you choose displays your inner world. Of course, you may express
yourself differently with different friends, relatives, and other people you know.
We live in a society where exchanging presents is an important part of communication. Ignoring the
tradition won"t make it go away. If you really dislike such a tradition, tell your friends abead of time.
B. keep your friendship
C. receive a present in return
D. get the expected effect
B. Emotional changes influence one"s choice of gifts.
C. Selecting the right gift is an ability people are born with.
D. Choosing gifts requires one to understand the receivers.
B. one learns from what he did in the past
C. the choice of girls reflects one"s emotional qualities
D. one should spend more time choosing gifts
B. An Important Tradition
C. Exchanging Presents
D. Message in a Gift
to make a noise in the world, and be fears silence more than anything else. Even his conversation is an attempt
to prevent a fearful silence. If he is introduced to another person, and is number of pauses occur in the
conversation, he regards him-self as a failure,a worthless person, and is full of envy of the emptiest- headed
chatterbox (喋喋不休的人).He knows that ninety nine percent of human conversation means no more than the
buzzing of a fly, but he is anxious to join in the buzz and to prove that he is a man and not a waxwork figure
(蜡塑人像).
The aim of conversation is not. For the most part, to communicate ideas; it is to keep up the buzzing sound. There are, it must be admitted, different qualities of buzz; there is even a buzz that is as annoying as the
continuous noise made by a mosquito (蚊子). But at a dinner party one would rather be a mosquito than a quiet
person. Most buzzing, fortunately, is pleasant to the ear, and some of it is pleasant even to the mind. He would
be a foolish man if he waited until he had a wise thought to take part in the buzzing with his neighbors.
Those who hate to pick up the weather as a conversational opening seem to me not to know the reason
why human beings wish to talk. Very few human beings join in a conversation in the hope of learning anything
new. Some of them are content if they are merely allowed to go on making a noise into other people"s ears,
though they have nothing to tell them except that they have seen two or three new plays or that they had food
in a Swiss hotel. At the end of an evening, during which they have said nothing meaningful for a long time.
They just prove themselves to be successful conservationists.
B. prove their value
C. achieve success in life
D. overcome their fear of silence
B. a low whispering sound
C. meaningless talks
D. the voice of a chatterbox
B. about whatever they want do
C. in the hope of learning something new
D. in the hope of getting on well
B. To encourage people to join in conversations.
C. To persuade people to stop making noises.
D. To explain why people keep talking.
is made in fixed sizes. Those people who find that ready-made clothing fits them well can save money by
buying it. Most often. People do not fit exactly into a producer"s size. Their clothing must be altered (改变)
to make it fit better, However, most alterations are not very expensive. The small cost of most allerations
means that ready-made clothing can meet the needs of most customer.
Those who can afford it often get someone to design and make their clothing. Such clothing is called
custom-made(定做的). The person who makes it measures the customer, and then sews it so that it fits
perfectly. Alterations are not needed. Custom-made clothing is largely sewn by hand. Has better quality,
better material, and is of the style you have chosen. Of course, it costs much more than ready-to-wear
clothing. You need to pay the difference for the special fitting and better skill that you are receiving. This
often means that you spend double or more than you would for a ready-made garment (衣服).
Custom-made clothing is not always that much better than ready-made clothing. It costs more partly
because only one garment has been made, just for you. Companies that produce ready-made products make
thousands of garments at a time. This means they can buy large quantities of material. Workers cut each
size by the hundreds. Companies work out ways to make the garments, quickly ly machine and pay workers
according to their skill. Thus they can sell the finished products at a low price while still making money.
Most of the clothing sold in the United States is made in this way. Customers gain from the lower prices
which are made possible by mass production (批量生产).It may or may not give them high quality.
B. can fit into the sizes
C. want to make it better
D. will spend less money
B. fashionably designed
C. chosen by few people
D. made with difficulties
B. It suits all people.
C. It takes more time to make it.
D. It is labor-saving to make it.
B. to show the advantages of mass production
C. to provide information about different kind-of clothing
D. to tell readers how to make money from ready-made clothing
fornt is much easier because you have total control and have enough time to think and plan.
That you are given a form to fill out does not necessarily mean that you have to answer all the
questions in it. If the form contains unclear questions or lerms and conditions, you can make some
changes before signing (签约) it, or refuse to answer some of the questions. What you must realize
is that those terms and conditions have been written by highly paid lawyers. Each word is important,
or it would not be there; and you can be sure that there is not anything there that is written with your
interests in mind.
I know what I speak of because, as a lawyer for Litton Industries. I wrote the terms and conditions
that were printed on the back of order forms, I wrote the most tiring terms and conditions anyone has
ever seen. Still, 90 percent of the buyers would just sign on them without questioning anything, If anyone
questiones them. We would reach an agreement on something that was acceptable to both siders.
So when you see a preprinted application that contains questions or terms and conditions, read it all and
read it slowly. If you don"t like something, you can simply change the parts you don"t like, Remember that
everything can be settled by discussion. To what degree it can be settled depends on your position (立场),
of course, and that is something only you can determine.
B. it is easier to collect information about pre-employment
C. you can plan and have control of the needed time
D. you can control the form filling with enough time
B. questions in a form must be answered
C. the conditions that interest you are changeable
D. something of your interests is most important
B. questions in a form are more important than your position
C. you have little right to determine the conditions you like most
D. you must change a preprinted application before it is discussed
B. questions in a form are more important than your position
C. you have little right to determined the conditions you like most
D. you must change a preprinted application before it is discussed
artist. I actually began drawing again in the summer of 1995 when my father died, so perhaps I was trying
to recover from the loss of my father, or maybe it was just that it brought back memories of him. In any case,
I drew pen and ink animals and landscapes (风景画) much influenced (影响) by Kernel and St. John for five
years.
For some strange reason, I had been waiting until my retirement to start doing watercolors again, but as
soon as I walked out of the school door for the last time I picked up my brushes and rediscovered Andrew
Wyeth, who quickly became my favorite artist. I had looked through all the art books I had on my shelves
and found his watercolors to be the closest to how I thought good watercolors should look. So I painted
landscapes around Minnesota for three years and tried out many other types of painting. However, watercolors
remained my first choice, and I think I did my best work there, showing my painting at a number of art
exhibitions.
Art is now together with my piano playing and reading. There is a time for everything in my world, and it
is wonderful to have some time doing what I want to do. As Confucius once said, "At seventy I can follow
my heart"s desire."
B. How to paint watercolors.
C. An artist-turned teacher.
D. Life after retirement.
B. he couldn"t stop missing his father
C. he had more time after retirement
D. he liked animals and landscapes
B. painted landscapes in Minnesota for 5 years
C. believed Wyeth to be the best in watercolors
D. started his retirement life at the age of seventy

C. Rather busy.
D. Fairly dull.
