I made a pledge(发誓) to myself on the way down to the vacation beach cottage. For two weeks I would try to be a loving husband and father. The idea had come to me as I listened to a talk on my car radio. The speaker was quoting a Biblical (圣经的) passage about husbands being thoughtful of their wives. Then he went on to say, “Love is an act of will. A person can choose to love.” To myself, I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband. Well, for two weeks that would change. And it did. Right from the moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said, “That new yellow sweater looks great on you.” “Oh, Tom, you noticed,” she said, surprised and pleased. Maybe a little puzzled. After the long drive, I wanted to sit and read. Evelyn suggested a walk on the beach. I started to refuse, but then I thought, “Evelyn’s been alone here with kids all week and now she wants to be alone with me.” We walked on the beach while the children flew the kites. So it went. Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street firm where I am a director; a visit to the shell museum though I usually hate museums. Relaxed and happy, that’s how the whole vacation passed. I made a new pledge to keep on remembering to choose love. There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment, however. Evelyn and I still laugh about it today. On the last night at our cottage, preparing for bed, Evelyn stared at me with the saddest expression. “What’s the matter?” I asked her. “Tom, ” she said in a voice filled with sadness, “do you know something I don’t?” “What do you mean?” “Well…..that checkup(体检) I had several weeks ago….. our doctor ….. did he tell you something about me? Tom, you’ve been so good to me….. am I dying ?” It took a moment for it all to sink in. Then I burst out laughing. “No, honey,” I said, wrapping her in my arms. “You’re not dying; I’m just start to live.” 1.The writer thought he was a _______ husband in the past. A. lovely B. loyal C. strict D. selfish 2. From the story we may infer that Tom drove to the beach cottage _______. A. with his family B. with Evelyn C. alone D. with his children 3. The underlined words “one thing” in the text refer to the fact that _______. A. he praised her sweater, which puzzled her B. she insisted on visiting a museum, which he hated C. he knew something about her illness but didn’t tell her D. he was so good to her that she thought she must be dying

Many of us believe that a person’s mind becomes less active as he grows older. But this is not true, according to Dr Jarvik, professor of psychiatry at the University of California. She has studied the mental functioning of aging persons for several years. For example, one of her studies concerns 136 pairs of twins (双胞胎), who were first examined when they were already 60 years old. As Dr Jarvik continued the study of the twins into their 70s and 80s, their minds did not generally decline (衰弱) as was expected. However, there was some decline in their psycho-motor speed. This means that it took them longer to finish mental tasks than it used to. But when speed was not a factor, they lost very little intellectual (智力的) ability over the years. In general, Dr Jarvik’s studies have shown that there is no decline in knowledge or reasoning ability. This is true not only with those in their 30s and 40s, but with those in their 60s and 70s as well. It is true that older people themselves often complain that their memory is not as good as it once was. However, much of what we call “loss of memory” is not that at all. There usually was incomplete learning in the first place. For example, the older person perhaps had trouble hearing, or poor vision, or was trying to learn the new thing at too fast a speed. In the cases where the older person’s mind really seems to get worse, it is not necessarily a sign of decline due to old age. Often it is simply a sign of a sad emotional state. 1. This passage is mainly about _______. A. what caused mental decline B. a new discovery about mental decline C. the difference between middle-aged and older persons D. how Dr Jarvik studied mental functioning of the twins 2.The word “psychiatry” in paragraph 1 most probably means _______. A. the study of diseases of the mind B. the study of physical diseases C. the study of twins’ growth D. the study of human behavior 3.More often than not, what we call mental decline is actually a sign of _______. A. a worsening state of health B. old age C. nervous tension D. a state of unhappiness

Wugging, or web use giving, describes the act of giving to charity at no cost to the user. By using Everyclick.com, which is being added to a number of university computers across the UK, students can raise money every time they search, but it won’t cost them a penny. Research shows that students are extremely passionate(热情的)about supporting charity（慈善）--- 88％of full time students have used the Internet to give to charity. This figure is high because this age group is often the least likely to have their own income. 19％ of 22 to 24 year olds have short-term debts of more than￡5，000. With rising personal debt levels in this age group, due to university tuition fees or personal loans and a lack of long-term savings, traditional methods of donating to charity are often not possible. Beth Truman, a 21year old recent university graduate has used Everyclick.com to donate to her chosen charity, the RSPCA, for two years and has seen the “wugging” movement grow in popularity with students. “When you’re at university you become more socially aware, but it's sometimes hard to give to others when you have little money yourself,” says Beth. “Wugging is great for people in this age group as it allows them to use the technology on a daily basis to give to charity, without costing them a single penny.” Wugging is perfect for people who want to be more socially aware and supportive but don’t feel they have the means to do so. Students using the web can raise money for causes they care about without costing them anything in terms of time or money, and charities get a valuable source of funding. Everyclick.com works like any other search engine, allowing users to search for information, news and images but users can decide which of the UK’s 170,000 charities they would like to support through their clicks. Everyclick.com then makes monthly payments to every registered charity. Launched in June 2005, Everyclick.com is now the eighth largest search engine and one of the busiest charity websites in the UK. 1. According to the passage, “wugging” is actually a _______. A. website B. charity-related action C. school organization D. student movement 2.How does Beth Truman think of the “wugging” movement? A. It makes Everyclick.com popular in the UK. B. It makes giving to charity easy. C. It results in students being more social awareness. D. it stresses the importance of charity in people’s daily lives. 3.From the passage, we can conclude that _______. A. most full time students contribute to charity on the Internet every day B. Everyclick.com helps students pay for the college education C. “Wugging” is a win-win idea for both students and charities D. Everyclick.com is the most successful search engine in the UK 4.What would be the best title for this passage? A. “Wugging”, a New Popular Term（术语）on the Internet B. British People Show Strong Interest in Charity C. More Britain Charities Benefit from the Internet D. Students Raise Money for Charity by “wugging”
