、
Our child's behavior is greatly influenced by the
way we react to what he has done. Our reactions help
to
determine
whether
our
child
will
repeat
his
behavior
or
whether
he
will
do
something
different.
This statement is a very important part of a principle
of behavioral psychology.
The
principle
states
that
a
behavior
is
influenced
or affected by how the environment ---- people, places
and things ---- immediately
responds to the behavior.
Perhaps
without
realizing
it,
you
have
used
this
principle many times.
On the occasion when you told your child what a
good
boy
he
was
after
he
cleaned
up
his
room,
you
used
the
principle.
When
you
sent
your
child
to
his
room
for
fighting
with
his
brother,
you
used
the
principle. When I gave Kim a cookie after she started
to cry, I used the principle. In each of these examples,
a particular behavior occurred first
---- cleaning up a
room, fighting, and crying.
In addition, there was a reaction to each behavior
---- the child was praised, sent to his room, or given a
cookie.
By
these
actions,
we
have
influenced
the
previous
behaviors
and
have
helped
to
determine
whether those behaviors will occur again in the future.

、
In the United States, it is not customary to
telephone
someone
very
early
in
the
morning.
If
you
telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or
having
breakfast,
the
time
of
the
call
shows
that
the
matter
is
very
important
and
requires
immediate
attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone
calls made after 11:00 pm. If someone receives a call
during sleeping hours, he assumes it's a matter of life
or
death.
The
time
chosen
for
the
call
communicates
its
social
life,
time
plays
a
very
important part.
In the U.S.A. guests tend to feel they
are
not
highly
regarded
if
the
invitation
to
a
dinner
party
is
extended
only
three
or
four
days
before
the
party date. But it is not true in all countries. In other
areas
of
the
world,
it
may
be
considered
foolish
to
make an appointment too far in advance because plans
which
are
made
for
a
date
more
than
a
week
away
tend
to
be
forgotten.
The
meaning
of
time
differs
in
different parts of
the world. Thus, misunderstandings
arise between people from different cultures that treat
time
differently.
Promptness
is
valued
highly
in
American life, for example. If people are not prompt,
they
may
be
regarded
as
impolite
or
not
fully
responsible. In the U.S. no one would think of keeping
a
business
associate
waiting
for
an hour,
it
would
be
too impolite. A person, who is 5 minutes late, will say
a
few
words
of
explanation,
though
perhaps
he
will
not complete the sentence.

四、完型填空
Many
people
would
agree
that
stress
is
a
major
problem in modern life. It is certainly true that worry
and
quarrel
can
cause
all
kinds
of
illnesses,
1
backache
to
severe
headaches,
or
even
more
serious
complaints such as high blood pressure.
Many of us think
2
stress as something that
other people impose on us. We often complain about
how other people put us
3
pressure. But we
should try not to let such pressure affect us. We should
not forget that we are largely responsible for some of
the stress ourselves. We sometimes take
4
more
work than our bodies and our minds can handle. We
should learn to
5
our limitations. We should be
aware of which things are really important and which
are not.

couples who get divorced.
After 1969 and the Divorce Law Reform Act we had a very rapid increase in
the number of divorces. The rate increased steadily and in recent years has
increased much more rapidly. But there are also quite a lot of people who do
actually get married. At present the marriage rate in the UK is about 70 per
cent, which has gone down since the number of people who marry has gone
down quite a lot in the last 20 years, but more significantly in the last 10
years. Quite high proportions of people now live together without marrying,
and, for example, 40 per cent of children born in the UK are born to couples
who aren't married or are born to lone parents. There are quite a large
number of lone parent families, 90 per cent of these are headed by a woman
rather than a man.
The average family size now in the UK is 1.8 children per couple, which
means that there's been quite a decline in the birth rate in the UK along with
other European countries.

People all over the world today are beginning to hear and learn more and
more about the problem of pollution. Pollution is caused either by man’s
release of completely new and often artificial (
人造的
) substances into the
environment, or by releasing greatly increased amounts of a natural
substance (
物质
)
，
such as oil from oil tankers into the sea.
Whatever its underlying reasons, there is no doubt that much of the pollution
caused could be controlled if only companies, individuals and governments
would make more efforts. In the home there is an obvious need to control
litter
and waste. Food comes wrapped up three of four times in packages
that all have to be disposed of; drinks are increasingly sold in bottles or tins
which can’t be reused. This not only
causes a litter problem, but also is a
great waste of resources, in terms of glass, metal and paper. Advertising has
helped this process by persuading many of us not only to buy things we
neither want nor need, but also to throw away much of what we do buy.
Pollution and waste combine to be a problem everyone can help to solve by
cutting out unnecessary buying, excess use and careless disposal (
处理
) of
the products we use in our daily lives.
1. The main cause of pollution is ___
_A_
_____.
A. the release of artificial or natural substances into the environment
B. the production of new industrial goods
C. increased amounts of a natural substance
2. Much of the pollution could be controlled if only ____
_C
_____.
A. farmers would use less artificial fertilizers
B. governments would take effective measures
C. all sides concerned would make more efforts
3. Food packages, bottles and tins for drinks can cause ____
_B_
____.
A. air and water pollution
B. both a litter problem and a waster of resources
C. to pay for the service
4. Which of the following can not help solving the problem of pollution?
_
_C_ _
A. Cutting out unnecessary buying.
B. Reduce excess use
C. Eating.
5. What does the underlined word ―litter‖ mean in paragraph 2?
_ _C_ _
A. Bits of wast things
B. serious problem
C.
industrial pollution

A funny thing happened on the way to the communication revolution: we
stopped talking to each other.
I was walking in the park with a friend recently, and his mobile phone
rang, interrupting our conversation. There we were, walking and talking on a
beautiful sunny day and
–
poof!
–
I was cut off as if I had become absent
from the conversation.
The park was filled with people talking on their cell phones. They were
passing people without looking at them, saying hello, noticing their babies
or stopping to pat their dogs. It seems that the limitless electronic voice is
preferred to human contact.
The telephone used to connect you to the absent. Now it makes people
feel absent. Recently I was in a car with three friends. The driver hushed the
rest of us because he could not hear the person on the other end of his cell
phone. There we were, four friends driving down the highway, unable to
talk to each other because of the small thing designed to make
communication easier.
Why is it that the more connected we get, the more disconnected I feel?
Every advance in communications technology is a setback (
退步
) to the
closeness of human interaction. With e-mail and instant message over the
Internet, we can now communicate without seeing or talking to one another.
With voice mail, you can make entire conversations without ever reaching
anyone. If my mom has a question, I just leave the answer on her machine.
As almost every contact between human beings gets automatic, the
emotional distance index goes up. Pumping gas at the station? Why say
good-morning to the assistant when you can swipe you credit card at the
pump and save yourself the bother of human contact? Making a deposit at
the bank? Why talk to the clerk who lives in the neighborhood when you can
put your card into the ATM?
More and more, I find myself hiding behind e-mail to do a job meant
for conversation or being relieved that voice mail picked up because I didn’t
really have time to talk. The technology devoted to helping me keep in touch
is making me lonelier.
I own a mobile phone, an ATM card, a voice-mail telephone, and an
e-
mail account. Giving them up isn’t a choice. They are great for what they
are intended to do. It’s their unintended results that make me upset. What
good is all this gee-whiz technology if there is no one in the room to hear
you crying out ―Gee whiz‖?

advance in communications technology is a setback to the closeness of

B. With voice mail, you can make entire conversations without ever
reaching anyone.

Some people think they have an answer to the troubles of automobile
crowding and dirty air in large cities. Their answer is the bicycle, or ―bike‖.
In a great many cities, hundreds of people ride bicycles to work every day.
In New York City, some bike riders have even formed a group called Bike
for a Better City. They claim that if more people rode bicycles to work there
would be fewer automobiles in the downtown section of the city and
therefore less dirty air from car engines.
For several years this group has been trying to get the city government to
help bike riders. For example, they want the city to draw bicycle lanes on
some of the main streets, because when bike riders have to use the same
lanes as cars, there are accidents. Bike for a Better City feels that if there
were special lanes more people would use bikes.
But no bicycle lanes have been drawn. Not everyone thinks it is a good idea
- they say it will slow traffic. Some store owners on the main streets say that
if there is less traffic, they will have less business. And most people live too
far from downtown to travel by bike.
The city government has not yet decided what to do. It wants to keep
everyone happy. Only on weekends, Central Park is closed to cars, and the
roads may be used by bicycles only. But Bike for a Better City says that this
is not enough and keeps fighting to get bicycle lanes downtown.

Benjamin Disraeli, the famous nineteenth century prime minister, said,
―London is not a city,
-
it is a nation.‖ Today this is an understatement;
London, with its vast range of different ethnic
groups, is a world.
Certainly, London is the most culturally diverse city in the world.
The city
was founded by the Romans and since then new arrivals have constantly
added to its character and prosperity.
Within 10 years 40% of Londoners will be from ethnic minority groups,
including the growing number of Londoners of mixed ethnic origin, but
most of them will have been born in Britain.
Children of Caribbean-Chinese marriages will go to school with children of
Russian-Irish couples. None of them will be English but all of them will be
Londoners.
Most of Britain's ethnic minority residents live in the capital, speaking over
300 languages.
Nearly all of the African population and many of the Caribbean population
of Britain live in London (83% and 58% respectively); 39% of the Chinese
population of Britain and 36% of the Asian population of Britain live in
London.
The largest migrant community is from the Irish Republic with 256,000
people, 3.8% of the total population of London.
There are an estimated 330,000 refugees and asylum seekers living in
London, with most recent arrivals coming from Eastern Europe, North
Africa and Kurdistan.
Young people, in particular, are skilled at dealing with a large number of
different and hybrid cultures.
They themselves often have several different ethnic identities since their
parents and grandparents may come from several different backgrounds and
their friends and partners do also. They are ―skilled cross
-
cultural travellers‖
without leaving their home-town.

not a nation at all

Who will stage the games?
Preparing for the Olympics Games is a huge undertaking. Just like the
athletes, the host city spends years getting ready for the event. Before
deciding which city will host the Olympic Games, the International Olympic
Committee (IOC) has to examine bids from all over the world. Bidding for
the games begins about ten years in advance. Without preparing a very
strong bid
1
, a city will not win the competition to host the games. Beijing
was chosen for the 2008 games from five bidders
—
Osaka, Paris, Toronto
and Istanbul.
2
Why does it take so long to prepare?
Building the infrastructure costs huge amounts of money. Holding the
World Cup in 2002 in Japan and
South Korea, for example, meant that ten new stadiums had to be built, as
well as many hotels and an improved transport system. In Beijing, after
winning the bid the government began major construction projects
—
the
extension of the underground, the improvement of the airport and the
building of new motorways
3
. Each host city must also build an Olympic
village for the athletes. By planting trees and creating parks, the city
becomes more attractive for tourists.
Why do countries want to host the Olympic Games?
