It is nothing for a big, strong schoolboy to
16、elbow an elderly woman aside in the dash for the last remaining seat on the tube or bus, much less stand up and offer his seat to her, as he ought to. In fact, it is saddening to note that if a man does offer his seat to an older woman, it is nearly a Continental man or one from the older generation
17、.This question of giving up seats in public transport is much argued about by young men, who say that, since women have claimed equality, they no longer deserve to be treated with courtesy and that those who go out to work should take their turn in the rat race like anyone else. Women have never cla
18、imed to be physically as strong as men. Even if it is not agreed, however, that young men should stand up for younger women, the fact remains that courtesy should be shown to the old, the sick and the burdened. Are we really so lost to all ideals of unselfishness that we can sit there indifferently
19、reading the paper or a book, saying to ourselves “First come, first served,“ while a gray-haired woman, a mother with a young child or a cripple stands? Yet this is all too often seen.Conditions in travel are really very hard on everyone, we know, but hardship is surely no excuse. Sometimes one wond
20、ers what would have been the behavior of these stout young men in a packed refugee train on its way to a prison- camp during the War. Would they have considered it only right and their proper due to keep the best places for themselves then?Older people, tired and irritable from a days work, are not
21、angle, either far from it. Many a brisk argument or an insulting quarrel breaks out as the weary queues push and shove each other to get on buses and tubes. One cannot commend this, of course, but one does feel there is just a little more excuse.If cities are to remain pleasant places to live in, ho
22、wever, it seems imperative, not only that communications in transport should be improved, but also that communication between human beings should be kept smooth and polite. All over cities, it seems that people are too tired and too rushed to be polite. Shop assistant wont bother to assist, taxi-dri
23、vers growl at each other as they dash dangerously round corners, bus conductors pull the bell before their desperate passengers have had time to get on or off the bus, and so on and so on. It seems to us that it is up to the young and strong to do their small part to stop such deterioration.（分数：5.00

29、分数：5.00)It was eleven oclock that night when Mr. Pontellier returned from Kleins hotel. He was in an excellent humor, in high spirits, and very talkative. His entrance awoke his wife, who was in bed and fast asleep when he came in. He talked to her while he undressed, telling her anecdotes and bits
30、of news and gossip that he had gathered during the day. From his trousers pockets he took a fistful of crumpled bank notes and a good deal of silver coin, which he piled on the bureau indiscriminately with keys, knife, handkerchief, and whatever else happened to be in his pockets, she was overcome w
31、ith sleep, and answered him with little half utterances.He thought it very discouraging that his wife, who was the sole object of his existence, evinced so little interest in things which concerned him, and valued so little his conversation.Mr. Pontellier had forgotten the bonbons and peanuts for th
32、e boys. Notwithstanding he loved them very much, and went into the adjoining room where they were resting comfortably. The result of his investigation was far from satisfactory. He turned and shifted the youngsters about in bed. One of them began to kick and talk about a basket full of crabs.Mr. Pon
33、tellier returned to his wife with the information that Raoul had a high fever and needed looking after. Then he lit a cigar and went and sat near the open door to smoke it.Mrs. Pontellier was quite sure Raoul had no fever. He had gone to bed perfectly well, she said, and nothing had ailed him all da
34、y. Mr. Pontellier was too will acquainted with fever symptoms to be mistaken. He assured her the child was consuming at that moment in the next room.He reproached his wife with her inattention, her habitual neglect of the children. If it was not a mothers place to look after children, whose on earth
35、 was it? He himself had his hands full with his brokerage business. He could not be in two places at once; making a living for his family on the street, and staying at home to see that no harm befell them. He talked in a monotonous, insistent way.Mrs. Pontellier sprang out of bed and went into the n
36、ext room. She soon came back and sat on the edge of the bed, leaning her head down on the pillow. She said nothing, and refused to answer her husband when he questioned her. When his cigar was smoked out he went to bed, and in half a minute he was fast asleep.Mrs. Pontellier was by that time thoroug
37、hly awake. She began to cry a little, and wiped her eyes on the sleeve of her peignoir. Blowing out the candle, which her husband had left burning, she slipped her bare feet into a pair of satin mules at the foot of the bed and went out on the porch, where she sat down in the wicker chair and began
38、to rock gently to and fro.It was then past midnight. The cottages were all dark. A single faint light gleamed out from the hallway of the house. There was no sound abroad except the hooting of an old owl in the top of a water-oak, and the everlasting voice of the sea, that was not uplifted at that s
39、oft hour. It broke like a mournful lullaby upon the night.The tears came so fast to Mrs. Pontellier s eyes that the damp sleeve of her peignoir no longer served to dry them. She was holding the back of her chair with one hand; her loose sleeve had slipped almost to the shoulder of her uplifted arm.
40、Turning, she thrust her face, steaming and wet, into the bend of her arm, and she went on crying there, not caring any longer to dry her face, her eyes, her arms. She could not have told why she was crying. Such experiences as the foregoing were not uncommon in her married life. They seemed never be
41、fore to have to have weighed much against the abundance of her husbands kindness and a uniform devotion which had come to be tacit and self-understood.An indescribable oppression, which seemed to generate in some unfamiliar part of her consciousness, filled her whole being with a vague anguish. It w
42、as like a shadow, like a mist passing across her souls summer day. It was strange and unfamiliar; it was a mood. She did not sit there inwardly upbraiding her husband, lamenting at Fate, which had directed her footsteps to the path which they had taken. She was just having a good cry all to herself.
43、 The mosquitoes made merry over her, biting her firm, round arms and nipping at her bare insteps.The little stinging, buzzing imps succeeded in dispelling a mood which might have held her there in the darkness half a night longer.（分数：5.00）(1).Mr. Pontellier came back in a/an _state of mind.（分数：1.00）
44、A.excitedB.exasperatedC.depressedD.dejected(2).Mr. Pontetlier felt extremely frustrated because_.（分数：1.00）A.his wife oversleptB.his wife greeted lateC.his wife was indifferent to his talkD.his wife showed too much interest in his talk(3).Mr. Pontellier scolded his wife for _.（分数：1.00）A.she neglected
45、 their childrenB.she abused their childrenC.she seldom played with themD.she failed to clean the room their children slept in(4).Mrs. Pontellier cried _after she was reproached by her husband.（分数：1.00）A.littleB.a lotC.moderatelyD.controllably(5).Mrs. Pontellier was seized by a sense of _after she aw

Given anything that resembles a well-rounded life with adults and other children to listen to, talk t
47、o, do things with their minds will acquire naturally all the skills required for further learning.Take for example, reading. The two strongest predictors of whether children will learn to read easily and well at school are whether they have learned the names and the sounds of letters of the alphabet
48、 before they start school. That may seem to imply that letter names and sounds should be deliberately taught to young children, because these skills will not happen naturally.But in all the research programs where they have done just that instructed children, rehearsed the names and sounds over and over the results are disappointing. The widely accepted explanation is that knowledge of the alphabet for it to work in helping one to read, has to be deeply embedded in the childs mind. That comes from years of exposure and familiarity with letters, from being read to, from playing with
