“I sat-in at a restaurant for six months, and when they finally agreed to serve me, they didn’t have what I wanted”---so went a famous line.In reality, the sit-in movement was not a joke.It began in Greensboro, North Carolina, at 4:30 P.M., on the afternoon of February 1, 1960.On that day, Ezell Blair Jr., Joseph McNeil, David Richmond, and Franklin McClain entered an F.W.Woolworth store.They sat down at a segregated(隔离的)lunch counter, ordered coffee, and then refused to leave when told, ‘We don’t serve Negroes.”

The four young men had expected not to be served.What no one had expected, however, was that they would sit there and politely, but firmly, refuse to leave.This was 1960, and throughout the South black people were not allowed to sit at the same lunch counters with whites, swim at the same beaches, use the same water fountains, or worship at the same churches.Segregation was the law, and it meant separation of the races in every way.

The next day, the four returned to Woolworth’s---this time accompanied by sixteen other students.Again they sat at the lunch counter and requested service.Again they were refused.And again, they declined to leave.On Wednesday, February 3, seventy students filled the Woolworth’s store.This time, the group included white students as well as black.Many brought school books and studied while they waited.By this time, their protest had become known nationwide as a “sit-in”.

On Thursday, there was trouble.An angry group of white teenagers began shoving(推搡) and cursing them but were quickly removed by the police.By February 10, the sit-in movement had spread to five other states.

By September 1961, more than 70,000 people, both black and white, had participated in sit-ins at segregated restaurants and lunch counters, kneel-ins at segregated churches, read-ins at segregated libraries, and swim-ins at segregated pools and beaches.Over 3,600 people had been arrested, and more than 100 students had been driven away.But they were getting results.On June 10, 1964, the U.S Senate passed a major civil rights bill outlawing(宣布为非法)racial discrimination in all public places.President Lyndon Johnson signed it on July 2, and it became law.But the highest credit still goes to the four brave students from North Carolina who first sat-in and waited it out.

1.In this passage, “sit-in” refers to _________.

       A.an activity where people sit together and drink coffee freely

       B.a bill which outlaws racial discrimination in all public places

       C.a form in which people peacefully sit and decline to leave

       D.a polite behavior that everyone enjoys

2.Which statement can be concluded from the fifth paragraph in the passage?

       A.The sit-in movement was not successful.

       B.The sit-in movement had a positive result.

       C.Only black people participated in sit-ins.

       D.A lot of protesters were arrested, with some students driven away from school

3.What was the purpose of the civil rights bill passed in 1964?

       A.The highest credit went to the four brave students.

       B.It declared that segregation was a law.

       C.The students were allowed to participate in sit-ins.

       D.It made racial segregation against the law in all public places.

4.What is the passage mainly about?

       A.Segregation was the law in the South.

       B.The first sit-in was in 1960.

       C.The sit-ins helped to end segregation.

       D.The civil rights bill was passed in 1964 by the U.S.Senate.

In my profession as an educator and health care provider, I have worked with numerous children infected with the virus that causes AIDS.The relationships that I have had with these special kids have been gifts in my life.They have taught me so many things, but I have especially learned that great courage can be found in the smallest of packages.Let me tell you about Tyler.

Tyler was born infected with HIV: his mother was also infected.From the very beginning of his life, he was dependent on medications to enable him to survive.When he was five, he had a tube surgically inserted in a vein in his chest.This tube was connected to a pump, which he carried in a small backpack on his back.Medications were hooked up to this pump and were continuously supplied through this tube to his bloodstream.At times, he also needed supplemented oxygen to support his breathing.

Tyler wasn’t willing to give up one single moment of his childhood to this deadly disease.It was not unusual to find him playing and racing around his backyard, wearing his medicine - laden backpack and dragging his tank of oxygen behind him in his little wagon.All of us who knew Tyler marveled at his pure joy in being alive and the energy it gave him.Tyler’s mom often teased him by telling him that he moved so fast she needed to dress him in red.That way, when she peered through the window to check on him playing in the yard, she could quickly spot him.

This dreaded disease eventually wore down even the likes of a little dynamo like Tyler.He grew quite ill and, unfortunately, so did his HIV - infected mother.When it became apparent that he wasn’t going to survive, Tyler’s mom talked to him about death.She comforted him by telling Tyler that she was dying too, and that she would be with him soon in heaven.

A few days before his death, Tyler beckoned me over to his hospital bed and whispered, " I might die soon.I’m not scared.When I die, please dress me in red.Mom promised she’s coming to heaven, too.I’ll be playing when she gets there, and I want to make sure she can find me."

1.What is the boy Tyler's attitude towards death?

       A. optimistic.                                  B. pessimistic. 

       C.sorrowful.                                          D.fearful.

2.Tyler requested the writer to dress him in red when he died simply because ________.

       A.red is a lucky color                       B.red might help to cure him

       C.his mom could spot him easily              D.he could find more mates by wearing red

3.Which of the following might serve as a possible title for this passage?

       A.My unusual profession.                        B.A caring mother.

       C.Mother and son.                                  D.Dying in red.

4.The underlined word dynamo in the fourth paragraph here means       ________.

       A.a promising and helpful youth         B.an extremely energetic person

       C.a rare and beautiful flower            D.a magic and understanding superstar

You're in a department store and you see a couple of attractive young women looking at a sweater.You listen to their conversation:

“I can't believe it ——a Lorenzo Bertolla! They are almost impossible to find.Isn't it beautiful? And it's a lot cheaper than the one Sara bought in Rome.”

They leave and you go over to see this incredible sweater.It's nice and the price is right.You've never heard of Lorenzo Bertolla, but those girls looked really stylish.They must know.So, you buy it.You never realize that those young women are employees of an advertising agency.They are actually paid to go from store to store, talking loudly about Lorenzo Bertolla clothes.

Every day we notice what people are wearing, driving and eating.If the person looks cool, the product seems cool, too.This is the secret of undercover marketing.Companies from Ford to Nike are starting to use it.

Undercover marketing is important because it reaches people that don't pay attention to traditional advertising.This is particularly true of the MTV generation----consumers between the age of 18 and 34.It is a golden group.They have a lot of money to spend, but they don't trust ads.

So advertising agencies hire young actors to “perform” in bars and other places where young adults go.Some people might call this practice deceptive(骗人的), but marketing executive Jonathan Ressler calls it creative.“Look at traditional advertising.Its effectiveness is decreasing.”

However, one might ask what exactly is “real” about of young women pretending to be enthusiastic about a sweater? Advertising executives would say it's no less real than an ad.The difference is that you know an ad is trying to persuade you to buy something.You don' t know when a conversation you overhear is just a performance.

1.The two attractive young women were talking so that they could ________.

       A.get the sweater at a lower price            B.be heard by people around

       C.be admired by other shoppers          D.decide on buying the sweater

2.Lorenzo Bertolla is __________.

       A.a very popular male singer                B.an advertising agency

       C.a clothing company in Rome            D.the brand name of a sweater

3.Which of the following can be inferred from the passage? 

       A.The two girls are in fact employed by the Lorenzo Bertolla Company.

       B.The MTV generation tend to be more easily influenced by ads.

       C.Traditional advertising is becoming less effective because it's too direct.

       D.Undercover marketing will surely be banned soon by the government.

4.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?

       A.Two Attractive Shoppers                      B.Lorenzo Bertolla Sweaters

       C.Ways of Advertising                                                       D.Undercover Marketing
