14、rth the trouble,” my mother said. “It takes lots of time and makes a big mess. Our bakery bread is delicious without all that effort.” Begging was useless. Moms “no” meant “No!” But several weeks later, opportunity knocked: My parents were going out for the evening. I immediately invited Hanna to be

15、 my partner in bread-baking crime. We studied the recipe. That was easy. “Mix oil into flour then beat in four of the eggs, one at a time, with remaining sugar and salt.” We were not good at breaking eggs. I tried to learn from my mother. “Gradually add eight cups of flour. When dough (面团 ) holds to

16、gether, squeeze it.” We took turns working like that. “Is the dough holding together ” we asked each other. I remembered my neighbors instructions: “If its too sticky, add some flour; if too dry, add water.” We added water. Then more flour. Then more water. By then, the mass of our dough had grown v

17、ery much. “Place dough on floured surface and squeeze till smooth,” the recipe instructed. We took turns burying our hands in the damp dough, pinching, squeezing, and feeling it leak between fingers. “Clean and oil bowl, then return dough to bowl. Cover and let dough rise in warm place for 1 hour.”

18、This was good news - wed have a break. On dirtied kitchen chairs, we dreamed about our beautiful bread. “See ” we would tell my mom. “Isnt it worth the work ” Hanna and I couldnt help glancing at the rising process every few minutes. But nothing was happening. “Maybe something will happen in the hot

19、 oven,” I said. Unfortunately, when we removed the loaves from the oven, they were like hard stones. Mom was right; it takes time and effort. It sometimes makes a mess. But still it feels good, somehow, to be part of that long, ongoing chain of bread bakers. Since that night, both Hanna and I have l

23、hopping， according to a study published last week in the US. For Years men have been more likely to shop on the Internet than women， but during the 2004 holiday season 58 percent of those making online purchases were women. “It shows how mainstream the Internet is becoming”， said Lee Rainie， directo

24、r of the Pew Internet and American Life Project group， which carried out the study. Rainie said it was only a matter of time before women shoppers caught up with men. This is because women traditionally make decisions about spending. Users were more likely to shop online to save time. Internet users

25、 between the ages of 18 and 29 were responsible for some of the most dramatic（显著的） increases in the online gift-buying population this time around. However， three-quarters of the US Internet users did not buy holiday gifts online in 2004 They worried about credit card security， or just compared onli

26、ne prices with off-line prices， then dashed off to the shops to get the best deals. “But even if shoppers dont buy online， websites are becoming promotion tools for stores， ”said Dan Hess， vice president of Comscore Networks Inc Hess said that actually most stores websites can make customers fully b

27、elieve the security of their credit card numbers.

28、ppers than men in 2004 B Most of the Internet users between the ages of 18 and 29 are women. C People in the US were more likely to buy gifts online.

31、we any happier Various surveys attempt to answer this question. Though experts have presented varying percentages based on different standards, their answers tend to find we are generally happier, and the number of optimists rises each year. The Chinese Academy of Social Sciences 2006 Blue Book on s

32、ocial progress says 70 per cent of rural and urban citizens surveyed in 2005 reported a feeling of happiness and were optimistic about their futures. But each survey shows a worrisome fact that 10 per cent, at the lowest, of citizens were not content with their lives or not hopeful about the future.

33、 We cannot be content with the fact that at least 130 million of our countrymen are not happy. Although a sense of happiness remains a luxury（奢望） for many of our countrymen because of poverty, we agree wealth is not the only factor of happiness. For most of us, except the extremely rich and naturall

34、y born optimists, there simply are too many variables (可变物 ) that may kill the feeling of happiness. These include, but are not limited to, rising housing prices, tight and instable job market, back-breaking schooling expenses and medical bills. The most common one, however, is a low sense of securi

35、ty (安全 ). Some experts pointed that in the low-and-middle income group there was too much uncertainty regarding employment, income, housing, medical situations, and education. How can you feel happy when you always have to prepare yourself for the unexpected It may be beyond the governments reach, n

36、ot to mention duty, to guarantee (保证 ) higher income for every citizen. But it does have a burden to create an environment where all citizens can feel a reasonable level of security. 【小题 1】 From the second paragraph we learn _. A 70 % of Chinese people feel happy and optimistic about their future B

37、the data and the conclusions of the surveys are the same C the surveys about the sense of happiness were carried out in 2006 D the purpose of the surveys is to find out the percentage of rich people 【小题 2】 The following factors of happiness are mentioned in the passage EXCEPT _. A security B environ

38、ment C wealth D employment 【小题 3】 The underlined word “countrymen” in Paragraph 3 refers to _. A people from the countryside B people from cities C people from all countries D Chinese citizens 【小题 4】 According to the passage, the author tends to hold the view that _. A the wealthier we get, the happ

39、ier we become B though we get wealthier, we do not feel happier C it is the governments duty to raise every citizens income D the government should make sure all citizens feel a good level of security 答案： 【小题 1】 A 【小题 2】 B 【 小题 3】 D 【小题 4】 D Testing has taken the place of teaching in most public sch

40、ools. Pretests, drills, tests, and retests. They know that the best way to read a textbook is to look at the questions at the end of the chapter and then read the text quickly for the answers. I believe that my daughter Erica, who gets excellent marks, has never read a chapter of any of her school t

41、extbooks all the way through. And teachers are often heard to say proudly and openly that they teach to the test. Teaching to the test is a curious phenomenon（现象） . Instead of deciding what skills students ought to learn, helping students learn them, and then using some methods of assessment（评价） to

42、discover whether students have mastered the skills, teachers are encouraged to teach the students in the opposite way. First one looks at a test. Then one chooses the skills needed not to master reading, but to do well in the test. Finally, the test skills are taught. The ability to read or write mi

43、ght suggest the ability to do reasonably well on standardized tests. However, neither reading nor writing develops simply through being taught to take tests. We must be careful to avoid mistaking preparations for a test of a skill with the acquisition（习得） of that skill. Too many discussions of basic

44、 skills make this misunderstanding because people are tested rather than concerned with the nature and quality of what is taught. Recently, many schools have faced what could be called the crisis of comprehension or, in simple words, the phenomenon of students with grammar skills still being unable

45、to understand what they read. These students are quite good at test taking and filling in workbooks. However, they have little or no experience reading or thinking, and talking about what they read. They know the details but cant see or understand the whole. They are taught to be so concerned with g

46、rades that they have no time to think about meaning, and reread things if necessary. 【小题 1】 The author mentions Ericas performance in her study in order to show_. A her cleverness in test taking B the good way to take tests C the improper way of teaching D the best way to read textbooks 【小题 2】 Which

47、 of the following is TRUE according to the passage A The teachers are curious about teaching to the test. B Skills in general are not only useless but often mislead students. C Ability to read and write has nothing to do with ability to do well in tests. D Preparations for a test of a skill do not m

48、ean the acquisition of that skill. 【小题 3】 In the authors opinion, _. A some good methods of assessment should take the place of tests B more attention should be paid to the nature and quality of what is taught C students should not be concerned with grades but do more reading and thinking D students neednt learn grammar skills because they are useless for understanding 【小题 4】 By “crisis of comp
