PASSAGE ONE
(1)
When I was
twenty-seven years old, I was a
mining-
broker’s clerk in San
Francisco, and an expert in all the
details of stock traffic, I was alone in the
world,
and
had
nothing
to
depend
upon
but
my
wits
and
a
clean
reputation;
but
these
were
setting my feet in the road to eventual fortune,
and I was content with the
prospect. My
time was my own after the afternoon board,
Saturdays, and I was
accustomed to
putting it in on a little sail-boat on the bay.
One day I ventured
too far, and was
carried out to sea. Just at nightfall, when hope
was about gone,
I
was
picked
up
by
a
small
ship
which
was
bound
for
London.
It
was
a
long
and
stormy
voyage, and they made me work my
passage without pay, as a common sailor. When I
stepped
ashore
in
London
my
clothes
were
ragged
and
shabby,
and
I
had
only
a
dollar
in my pocket. This
money fed and sheltered me twenty-four hours.
During the next
twenty-four I went
without food and shelter.
(2)
About
ten
o’clock
on
the
following
morning,
dirty
and
hungry,
I
was
dragging
myself
along Portland Place,
when a child
that
was
passing,
towed by a
nurse-
maid,
tossed a big
pear
——
minus one
bite
——
into the gutter. I
stopped, of course, and
fastened
my
desiring
eye
on
that
muddy
treasure.
My
mouth
watered
for
it,
my
stomach
craved
it,
my
whole
being
begged
for
it.
But
every
time
I
made
a
move
to
get
it
some
passing
eye detected my purpose, and of course I
straightened up then, and looked
indifferent and
pretended
that
I hadn’t
been
thinking about the pear at all. This
same thing kept happening and
happening, and I couldn’t get the pear.
(3)
I
was just getting desperate enough to brave all the
shame, and to seize
it, when a window
behind me was raised, and a gentleman spoke out of
it, saying:

“ Step in here, please.”
(4)
I was
admitted by a man servant, and shown into a
sumptuous room where a
couple of
elderly gentlemen were sitting. They sent away the
servant, and made me
sit down. They had
just finished their breakfast, and the sight of
the remains of
it almost overpowered
me. I could hardly keep my wits together in the
presence of
that food, but as I was not
asked to sample it, I had to bear my trouble as
best
as I could.
(5)
Now,
something had been happening there a little
before, which I did not
know anything
about until a good many days afterwards, but I
will tell you about
it now. Those two
old brothers had been having a pretty hot argument
a couple of
days before, and had ended
by agreeing to decide it by a bet, which is the
English
way of settling everything.
(6)
You
will
remember
that
the
Bank
of
England
once
issued
two
notes
of
a
million
pounds
each,
to
be
used
for
a
special
purpose
connected
with
some
public
transaction
with a foreign
country. For some reason or other only one of
these had been used
and canceled; the
other still lay in the vaults of the Bank. Well,
the brothers,
chatting along, happened
to get to wondering what might be the fate of a
perfectly
honest and intelligent
stranger who should be turned adrift in London
without a
friend, and with no money but
that million-pound bank-note, and no way to
account
for
his
being
in
possession
of
it.
Brother
A
said
he
would
starve
to
death;
Brother
B
said
he
wouldn’t.
Brother
A
said
he
couldn’t
offer
it
at
a
bank
or
anywhere
else,
because he would be arrested on the
spot. So they went on disputing till Brother
B
said
he
would
bet
twenty
thousand
pounds
that
the
man
would
live
thirty
days,
anyway,
on
that million, and keep out of jail, too. Brother A
took him up. Brother B went
down to the
Bank and bought that note. Then he dictated a
letter, which one of his
clerks wrote
out in a beautiful round hand, and then the two
brothers sat at the
window a whole day
watching for the right man to give it to.
(7)
I finally
became the pick of it.
41.
In Para. 1, the phrase “set my feet”
probably means __________.
A. put me aside
B. start my
journey
C. prepare me
D. let
me walk
42.
It
can be concluded from Para. 2 that __________.
A. the man wanted to maintain dignity

PASSAGE TWO
(1)
The
concept
of
peace
is
a
very
important
one
in
cultures
all
over
the
world.
Think
about
how
we
greet
people.
In
some
language,
the
phrases
for
greetings
contain
the
word
for
peace.
In
some
cultures
we
greet
people
by
shaking
hands
or
with
another
gesture
to
show
that
we
are
not
carrying
weapons
---
that
we
come
in
peace.
And
there
are
certain
symbols
which
people
in
very
different
cultures
recognize
as
representing peace. Let’s
look at a few of them.
The
dove
(2)
The dove
has been a symbol of peace and innocence for
thousands of years
in many different
cultures. In ancient Greek mythology it was a
symbol of love and
the renewal of life.
In ancient Japan a dove carrying a sword
symbolized the end
of war.
(3)
There
was
a
tradition
in
Europe
that
if
dove
flew
around
a
house
where
someone
was
dying then their soul would be at peace. And there
are legends which say that
devil can
turn himself into any bird except for a dove. In
Christian art, the dove
was used to
symbolized the Holy Ghost and was often painted
above Christ’s head.
(4)
But it was
Pablo Picasso who made the dove a modern symbol of
peace when
he used it on a poster for
the World Peace Congress in 1949.
The
rainbow
(5)
The
rainbow
is
another
ancient
and
universal
symbol,
often
representing
the
connection
between
human
beings
and
their
gods.
In
Greek
mythology
it
was
associated
with Iris, the goddess who brought
messages from the gods on Mount Olympus. In
Scandinavian mythology
the
rainbow
was a
bridge between
the
gods
and the earth. In
the Bible a rainbow showed Noah that
the Biblical flood was finally over, and that
God
had
forgiven
his
people.
In
the
Chinese
tradition,
the
rainbow
is
a
common
symbol
for
marriage because
the colours represent
the union of
yin and yang. Nowadays
the
rainbow
is
used
by
many
popular
movements
for
peace
and
the
environment,
representing
the possibility
of a better world in
the
future
and promising sunshine after
rain.
Mistletoe
(6)
This plant
was sacred in many cultures, generally
representing peace and
love.
Most
people
know
of
the
tradition
of
kissing
under
the
mistletoe
at
Christmas
time, which
probably comes from Scandinavian mythology. The
goddess Freya’s son
was killed by an
arrow made of mistletoe, so, in honour of him, she
declared that
it would always be a
symbol of peace. It was often hung in doorways as
a sign of
friendship.
(7)
The ancient
Druids believed that hanging mistletoe in your
doorway could
protect you from evil
spirits. Tribes would stop fighting for a period
of time if
they found a tree with
mistletoe. But you will never see mistletoe in a
Christian
church
-
it
is
banned
because
of
its
associations
with
pagan
religion
and

superstition.
The olive
branch
(8)
The
olive tree has always been a valuable source of
food and oil. In Greek
mythology,
the
goddess
Athena
gave
the
olive
tree
to
the
people
of
Athens,
who
showed
their
gratitude
by
naming
the
city
after
her.
But
no
one
knows
for
sure
when
or
why
it began
to symbolize peace. There is probably a connection
with ancient Greece.
Wars
between
states
were
suspended
during
the
Olympics
Games,
and
the
winners
were
given
crowns
of
olive
branches.
The
symbolism
may
come
from
the
fact
that
the
olive
tree
takes
a
long
time
to
produce
fruit,
so
olives
could
only
be
cultivated
successfully in
long periods of peace. Whatever the history, the
olive branch is
a part of many modern
flags symbolizing
peace and unity. One
well-known
example is
the United Nations symbol.
The ankh
(9)
The ankh is an ancient symbol which was
adopted by the hippie movement in
the
1960s to represent peace and love. It was found in
many Asian cultures, but is
generally
associated with ancient Egypt. It represented life
and immortality.
Egyptians were buried
with an ankh, so that they could continue to live
in the
“afterworld”. The symbol was
also found along the sides of the Nile, which gave
life
to
the
people.
They
believed
that
the
ankh
could
control
the
flow
of
the
river
and make sure that there was always
enough water.

PASSAGE
THREE
(1)
Two
sides
almost
never
change:
That
you
can
manipulate
people
into
self-sufficiency and
that you can punish them into good citizenship.
(2)
The first
manifests itself in our tireless search for the
magical level at
which welfare grants
are big enough to meet basic needs but small
enough to make
low-paid
work
attractive.
The
second
has
us
looking
to
the
criminal
justice
system
to cure behavior that
is as much as anything the result of despair.
(3)
The welfare
example is well known. We don’t want poor people
to live in
squalor or their
children to be malnourished.
But we also don’t want to subsidize
the
indolence
of
people
who
are
too
lazy
to
work.
The
first
impulse
leads
us
to
provide
housing,
food
stamps,
medical
care
and
a
cash
stipend
for
families
in
need.
The
second
gets
us to think about “workforce”.
(4)
We’ve been
thinking about it for two reasons: the “nanny”
problems of
two
high-ranking
government
officials
(who
hired
undocumented
foreigners
as
household
helpers,
presumably
because
they
couldn’t
find
Ameri
cans
to
do
the
work)
and President Clinton’s proposal to put
a two
-year limit on welfare.
(5)
Maybe
something useful will come of Clinton’s idea, but
I’m not all that
hopeful. It looks to
me like one more example of trying to manipulate
people into
taking care of themselves.
(6)
On the
criminal justice side, we hope to make punishment
tough enough to
discourage crime but
not so tough as to clog our prisons with
relatively minor
offenders.
Too
short
a
sentence,
we
fear,
will
create
contempt
for
the
law.
Too
long
a sentence will take up
costly
space better used for
the
violent and unremorseful.
(7)
Not
only
can
we
never
find
the
“perfect”
punishment,
our
search
for
optimum
penalties is
complicated by our
desire for fairness:
to let
the punishment fit
the
crime. The problem is
that almost any punishment --- even the disgrace
of being
charged
with
a
crime
---
is
sufficient
to
deter
the
middle
class,
while
for
members
of the underclass,
probation may be translated as “I beat
it”.
(8)
So
how
can
you
use
the
system
---
welfare
or
criminal
justice
---
to
produce
the behavior we want? The answer, I
suspect is: You can’t.
(9)
We keep
trying to use welfare and prison to
change
people --- to make
them
think and behave the way we do ---
when the truth is the incentives work only for
those who
already think the
way we do: who view today’s action with an eye on
the
future.
(10)
We
will
take
lowly
work
(if
that
is
all
that’s
available)
because
we
believe
we can make bad jobs
work for us. We avoid crime not because we are
better people
but because we see
getting caught as a future-wrecking disaster. We
are guided by
a belief that good things
will happen for us in the future if we take proper
care
of
the
present.
Even
under
the
worst
of
circumstances,
we
believe
we
are
in
control
of our lives.
(11)
And
we
have
trouble
understanding
that
not
everybody
believes
as
we
believe.

The welfare rolls, the prison and the
mean street of our cities are full of people
who
have
given
up
on
their
future.
Without
hope
for
the
future,
hard
work
at
a
low-paid
job
makes
no
sense.
Working
hard
in
school,
or
pleasing
a
boss,
or
avoiding
pregnancy
makes
no
sense.
The
deadly
disease
is
hopelessness.
The
lawlessness
and
poverty
are
only
the obvious symptoms.
(12)
I’m
not
advocating
that
we
stop
looking
for
incentives
to
move
poor
people
toward self-sufficiency or that we stop
punishing people for criminal behavior.
There will always be some people who
need help and some who deserve to be in jail.
(13)
All
I’m
saying
is
that
the
long
-term
answer
both
to
welfare
and
the
crime
that plagues our communities is not to
fine tune the welfare and criminal justice
systems but to prevent our children
from getting the disease of despair.
(14)
If we
encourage our young people to believe in the
future, and give them
solid evidence
for believing, we’ll find both cri
me
and poverty shrinking to
manageable
proportions.

TEM 4 SCRIPT
PART

DICTATION
Listen
to
the
following
passage.
Altogether
the
passage
will
be
read
to
you
four
times.
During
the
first
reading,
which
will
be
done
at
normal
speed,
listen
and
try
to understand the meaning. For the
second and third readings, the passage will be
read sentence by sentence, or phrase by
phrase, with intervals of 15 seconds. The
last
reading
will
be
done
at
normal
speed
again
and
during
this
time
you
should
check
your
work. You will then be given 1 minute to check
through your work once more.
Please
write the whole passage on ANSWER SHEET ONE.
Now listen to the passage.
Are you confident or
insecure in a difficult situation?
Do
you react positively or negatively?
The
answer may depend in part on whom you are around.
A study found that negative thinking
can be contagious in some cases.
For
example, the researchers studied 103 college
roommates.
They
measured
each roommate’s tendency towards negative
thinking.
It was found that
thinking patterns can be contagious.
Students with a negative-thinking
roommate became more depressed themselves.
And
students
with
more
positive
thinking
roommates
were
more
likely
to
become
more
positive as well.
The second and third readings. You
should begin writing now.
The last reading.
Now, you have two minutes to check
through your work. (a two-minute interval)
