Although we all lived “in“, (23) made us go to bed at a certain time; there was no “lights out“.The (24) thing
9、was that practically all the students went to class, and very few people stayed up late at night. Only the new people stayed up or (25) class. The new ones always went (26) at first, but this never lasted long. Our teachers treated us like (27) ; never did we have to (28) “stand up“. I dont know of
10、one student who didnt try his best.The subjects were the same as those in (29) school, but what a difference in the approach(方式 )! For example, in botany (植物学) we had no classes in the spring or fall, but instead we (30) two gardens, a vegetable garden and a flower garden. Then in winter we each stu

15、es of the meeting held in Malupit Community School on Wednesday, 14th March, at 8:00 p. m, Mr. I. Pomat, a Malupit shop owner, called the meeting to find out the views of the community on local government plans to close the Malupit Community School at the end of the present school year.Mr. Pomat act
16、ed as chairman of the meeting. He introduced Mr. L. Karazin, the Planning Office of the Raval Education Department. Mr. Karazin pointed out that there were now only fifty-three children at Malupit Community School. This was considered to be too high a number for the forming of two classes and the em
17、ployment of two teachers. Mrs. Luvako, who had taught at the school for the past twenty-two years, would be retiring from the teaching service in July. The Planning Office wished to take this opportunity to close the school, because it is expensive to run, and to move the children to two bigger scho
18、ols in Raval, six miles away.Mrs. Jarvis, the mother of an eight-year-old boy at Malupit, asked what would happen about transport to Raval. Mr. Karazin replied that the children would travel by bus. This would be provided by the Raval Transport Department, and it would take Malupit children to and f
19、rom school free of charge.Another parent, Mr. W. Riley, expressed the fear of many parents that closing the local school would mean that the children of Malupit wouldnt grow up with the same sense of community as in the past. They would feel lost in the much larger schools in Raval. Mr. Karazin repl
20、ied that the Raval schools were not very large, and that, in any case the children would have to go to Raval later on for education at high-school level.The chairman voiced the view of the meeting when he said that there was good reason to believe that there would soon be more young children living
21、in Malupit. It would be foolish, he said, to close the school, and then to find that there were more than enough local children to form two classes and employ two teachers.A final point was made by Mr. Colmar, a retired business man, that without Malupit Community School, there would be nowhere big
22、enough for local clubs and organizations to hold their meetings.Mr. Karazin promised that he would bring these points to the attention of the Education Department.Mr. Pomat brought the meeting to a close shortly after 9 oclock.(分数:9.00)(1).The Planning Office had decided to close the school because

33、shrugs. Talk? Were friends.Researching this matter called friendship, psychologist Lillian Rubin spent two years interviewing more than two hundred women and men. No matter what their age, their job, their sex, the results were completely clear: women have more friendships than men, and the differen
34、ce in the content and the quality of those friendships is “marked and unmistakable.“More than two-thirds of the single men Rubin interviewed could not name a best friend. Those who could were likely to name a woman. Yet three-quarters of the single women had no problem naming a best friend, and almo
35、st always it was a woman. More married men than women named their wife/husband as a best friend, more trusted person, or the one they would turn to in time of emotional distress (感情危机). “Most women,“ says Rubin, “identified (认定) at least one, usually more, trusted friends to whom they could turn in
36、a troubled moment, and they spoke openly about the importance of these relationships in their lives.“In general,“ writes Rubin in her new book,“ womens friendships with each other rest on shared emotions and support, but mens relationships are marked by shared activities. “For the most part, Rubin s
37、ays, interactions (交往) between men are emotionally controlleda good fit with the social requirements of “manly behavior.“Even when a man is said to be a best friend,“ Rubin writes,“ the two share little about their innermost feelings. Whereas a womans closest female friend might be the first to tell
38、 her to leave a failing marriage, it wasnt unusual to hear a man say he didnt know his friends marriage was in serious trouble until he appeared one night asking if he could sleep on the sofa./(分数:15.00)(1).What old Harold cannot understand or explain is the fact that _.(分数:3.00)A.he is treated as a

40、and(3).According to the text, which type of behavior is NOT expected of a man by society? _.(分数:3.00)A.Ending his marriage without good reason.B.Spending too much time with his friends.C.Complaining about his marriage trouble.D.Going out to ballgames too often.(4).Which of the following statements i

Mr. Barlow applied for the job, and soon afterwards was invited to t
43、he companys head office to meet Mr. Snell, the sales manager. Mr. Snell asked Mr. Barlow what experience he had had as a salesman.“I worked as a salesman for a brush company until six months ago. I sold brushes, dusters, tins of polish, things like that. I went from door to door selling direct to ho
44、usewives.“Mr. Snell then asked him why he had left that job.“Well, to be honest, it was very hard work,“ Mr. Barlow replied. “It meant walking sometimes six or eight miles a day. But the real reason for leaving was that I didnt think very highly of the goods that I was selling. They were not of the
45、best quality, and that made it difficult for me to be sincere when I had to tell housewives what wonderful brushes they were. I knew perfectly well they wouldnt last beyond a month. Whats more, the pay was rather poor. I realized after a while that I wouldnt be able to support a family on the money
46、I was earning.“I see,“ said Mr. Snell. “So what did you do next?“For the last six months I have been a salesman in a department store,“ said Mr. Barlow.“And do you think you could sell Warmans office materials with clear conscience?“ Mr. Snell asked. “Do you think you could be sincere, as you put it
47、, about selling the papers, inks, copying- machines and so on that we produce here?“Mr. Barlow said that he thought he could; that Warmans office materials enjoyed a very high reputation, and that in his department at Caldwells he sold almost nothing else. He said he had always wanted to work for a
48、big company with a good name; to travel all over the country, selling goods to other companies, rather than to housewives on doorstep; andhe added with a smileto enjoy the money and the working conditions offered with the job for which he had applied.“Mr. Barlow,“ said Mr. Snell, “do you have a clea
49、n driving license?“Yes, I do,“ Mr. Barlow replied.“Then as long as your medical examination proves to be satisfactory, Im quite prepared to offer you the job.“ Mr. Snell got up and shook Mr. Barlow by the hand. “Congratulations,“ he said, “and welcome to Warmans./(分数:12.00)(1).Mr. Barlow was invited to the head office _.(分数:3.00)A.to apply for a job as a travelling salesmanB.so that Mr. Sn
