I was one of the twelve. Mrs. ONeill asked (41) questions, and she didnt (42) us either. She wrote on the bl

23、ave you ever been afraid to talk back when you were treated unfairly? Have you ever bought something just because the salesman talked you into it? Are you afraid to ask a boy (girl) for a date?Many people are afraid to assert themselves (insist upon their own rights)DrRobert Alberti, author of Stand
24、 Up Speak Out, and Talk Back, thinks its because their self-esteem (自尊) is low“Our whole set-up makes people doubt themselves,“ says Alberti. “Theres always a superior arounda parent, a teacher, a bosswho knows better“But Alberti and other scientists are doing something to help people to assert them
25、selves. They offer “assertiveness training“ courses (AT). In the AT courses people learn that they have a right to be themselves. They learn to speak out and feel good about doing so. They learn to be aggressive (敢闯的,有闯劲儿的)without hurting other people.In one way, learning to speak out is to overcome
26、 fear. A group taking an AT course will help the timid person to lose his fear. But AT uses an even stronger motivethe need to share. The timid person speaks out in the group because he wants to tell how he feels. AT says you can get to feel good about yourself. And once you do, you can learn to spe

29、elvesC.help people to be aggressive at anytime even when others sufferD.help people overcome fearBWe spent a day in the country, picking wild flowers. With the car full of flowers we were going home. On our way back my wife noticed a cupboard (柜橱) outside a furniture shop. It was tall and narrow“Buy
30、 it, “my wife said at once“Well carry it home on the roof rackIve always wanted one like that“What could I do? Ten minutes later I was 20 poorer; and the cupboard was tied on the roof rack. It was six feet long and eighteen inches square, quite heavy too.In the gathering darkness I drove slowly. Oth
31、er drivers seemed unusually polite that evening. The police even stopped traffic to let us through. Carrying furniture was a good idea.After a time my wife said，“Theres a long line of cars behind. Why dont they overtake, I wonder?“ In fact a police car did overtake. The two officers inside looked at
32、 us seriously as they passed. But then, with great kindness, they led us through the rush-hour traffic. The police car stopped at our village church. One of the officers came to me.“Right, sir, “he said. “Do you need any more help?“I was a bit puzzled. “Thanks, officer, “I said. “You have been very
33、kind. I live just on the road.“He was staring at our car, first at the flowers, then at the cupboard. “Well, well, “he said, laughing. “Its a cupboard youve got there! We thought it was something else.“My wife began to laugh. The truth hit me like a stone between the eyes. I smiled at the officer. “

36、t did the husband think of this matter?（分数：1.00）A.It was very strange.B.He felt ashamed of it.C.He took great pride in it.D.He was puzzled at it.CA characteristic of American culture that has become almost a tradition is to respect the self-made manthe man who has risen to the top through his own ef
37、forts, usually beginning by working with his hands. While the leader in business or industry or the college professor occupies a higher social position and commands greater respect in the community than the common laborer or even the skilled factory worker, he may take pains to point out that his fa
38、ther started life in America as a farmer or laborer of some sort. This attitude toward manual (体力的)labor is now still seen in many aspects of American life.One is invited to dinner at a home that is not only comfortably but even luxuriousl(豪华地)furnished and in which there is every evidence of the fa
39、ct that the family has been able to afford foreign travel, expensive hobbies, and college education for the children; yet the hostess probably will cook the dinner herself, will serve it herself and will wash dishes afterward, furthermore the dinner will not consist merely of something quickly and e
40、asily assembled from contents of various cans and a cake or a pie bought at the nearby bakery. On the contrary, the hostess usually takes pride in careful preparation of special dishes. A professional man may talk about washing the car, digging in his flowerbeds, painting the house. His wife may eve
41、n help with these things, just as he often helps her with the dishwashing. The son who is away at college may wait on table and wash dishes for his living, or during the summer he may work with a construction gang on a highway in order to pay for his education.（分数：4.00）(1).From paragraph 1, we can k

44、niture shopB.keep accounts for a barC.wait to lay the tableD.serve customers in a restaurant(4).Which of the following may serve as the best title of the passage?（分数：1.00）A.A Respectable Self-made FamilyB.American Attitude toward Manual LaborC.Characteristics of American CultureD.The Development of
45、Manual LaborDBeldon and Canfield are two seashore towns, not far apart. Both towns have many hotels, and in summer the hotels are full of holiday-makers and other tourists.Last August there was a fire at the Seabreeze Hotel in Beldon. The next day, this news appeared on page two of the towns newspap
46、er. The Beldon Post:FIRE AT SEABREEZELate last night firemen hurried to the Seabreeze Hotel and quickly put out a small fire in a bedroom. The hotel manager said that a cigarette started the fire. We say again to all our visitors: “Please dont smoke cigarettes in bed.“ This was Beldons first hotel f
47、ire for five years.The Canfield Times gave the news in these words on page one:ANOTHER BELDON HOTEL CATCHES FIRELast night Beldon firemen arrived just too late to save clothing, bedclothes and some furniture at the Seabreeze Hotel. An angry holiday-maker said, “An electric lamp probably started the
48、fire. The bedroom lamps are very old at some of these hotels. When I put my bedside light on, I heard a funny noise from the lamp“ We are glad to tell our readers that this sort of adventure does not happen in Canfield.What are the facts, then? It is never easy to find out the exact truth about an accident. There was a fire at the Seabreeze Hotel last August: that is one fact. Do we know anything else? Yes, we know that firemen went to the hotel.Now what do yo
