You must have
been troubled by when to say
the
greatest puzzles in our life.
What if you say it first
and your partner doesn’ t love you
back?
or if they
do say. it
but you don’t feel they mean it? Being the first
to
declare your love
can be
nerver racking(
紧张）
and risky
and can leave you feeling as vulnerable as
a turtle with no shell. But is the
person who says it first really in a position
of weakness? Doesn’ t it pay to hold
back, play it cool and wait until the
oth
er
half has shown their
hand fast?

你一定曾经为何时说“我爱你”而
烦恼过，因为这是我们生活中的一大难题。
如果你先说“我爱你”而对方却不回应，或者对方也这么说但
你觉得他或她并非当真，
那该怎么办
?
如你先说爱一个人，会让人紧张，而且也很冒险，它会让你觉得像没了硬壳的
海龟那样容
易受到伤害。但先说出口的人真的是处于劣势吗
?
隐而不宣，冷
静地等待，让对
方采取主动会更好吗
?
“真正良好的两性关系应该是合理
平等的”，心理学家悉德尼?克朗说，“但爱情很少

年之后就会开始出现问题。
“‘我对你的爱更多’的情况暂时不再继续，
但这种感觉却不会
消失，
且常常会在争吵中出现。
”至少在爱情
上，
沉默含蓄的那种类型并不总是最强有力的。
“两性关系中最
强大的一方常常是感觉自信能说出自己的感受的人。
”教育心理学家因格瑞
?柯林斯说。性心理治疗学家波拉?霍尔赞同说，“占上风的常常是采取主动的人。实际上，
先说‘我爱你’的人往往也是先说‘我讨厌你’的人。”霍尔认为，很大程度上取决于说
“我爱你”的方式和说话人的动机。“他们是在喝醉时说的吗
?
是在对方乘飞机渡假前说的
吗
?
而其真正的含义是‘请一定要对我忠诚’?是不是表面上说：
‘我爱你’，
而真正想说的
却是‘你爱我吗?’如果这样，直截了当地说不是更诚

Going shopping seems easy but actually
it takes a lot of learning, especially
in American. In the fact, many
Americans who are not so well-off often shop at
“
sales
”
or at special stores that sell things at low
prices, which you may find
interesting.
In
American,
the
important
rule
of
dressing
is
that
one
should
change
hisher
clothes
every
day.
For
example,
in
an
American
college,
neither
professors
nor students are seen in the same
clothes two days in a row. So you may find it
necessary
to
buy
more
clothes
than
China.
While
you
are
shopping
in
the
States,
you
will discover that prices range
considerablely from time to time. The purchase of
used,
second-hand
clothing,
furniture,
or
other
household
articles
may
be
an
excellent
way
of
saving
money.
Most
second-hand
clothes
are
often
pretty
good
quality.
If you are going to
settle down in the states and want some furniture,
you may go
to a
“
loan
closet
”
, where furniture
rents at low costs, or you may also go to a
“furniture
exchange
”
place in the
community.
Sheets, blankets and other
bedclothes go on sale in most communities twice a
year.
Advertisements
for
“
white
sales
”
,
that
is,
sales
on
bed
linen,
towels,
ets.,
often
appear
in
January,
as
well
as
in
May,
June
or
July.
Once
or
twice
every
season,
there will be
“
garage
sales
”
, where you can get
almost anything, from a yacht to
a pair
of shoes, at low
prices. Prices at
“
discount
stores
”
and
“
thrift
shops
”
are also
as low as you can imagine.
56. Shopping
in the United States .
A.
seems easy for Americans.
B.
require some learning.
C. is very
easy for foreigners.
D. is only for
“
well-
off

.
A. clothes are sold at low prices.
B. people take it as a rule.
C. they enjoy doing so.
D. everyone is very

.
58. People
shopping in American will discover .
A. American goods are excellent.
B. most clothes come from China.
C. prices vary much sometimes.
D. used clothes are of poor quality.
59. A person who needs furniture can

Like most
people, I was brought up to look upon life as a
process of getting. It
was
not
until
in
my
late
thirties
that
I
made
this
important
discovery:
giving-away
makes
life
so
much

exciting.
You
need
not
worry

you

This

how
I experimented with
giving-away. If an idea for improving the window

flashes
to
me,
I
step
in
and
make
the
suggestion
to
the
storekeeper.
One
discovery
I
made
about
giving-away
is
that
it
is
almost
impossible
to
give
away
anything
in
this
world
without
getting
something
back,
though
the
return
often
comes
in an unexpected form.
One Sunday morning the local post office delivered
an
important special delivery letter to
my home, though it was addressed to me at my
office.
I
wrote
the
postmaster
a
note
of
appreciation.
More
than
a
year
later
I
needed
a post-office box for a new business I
was starting. I was told at the window that
there were no boxes left, and that my
name would have to
go on a
long waiting list.
As I was
about to leave, the postmaster appeared in the
doorway. He had overheard
our
conve
rsation. “Wasn’t it you that wrote
us that letter a year ago about
delivering
a
special
delivery
to
your
home?”
I
said
yes.
“Well,
you
certainly
are
going to have a box in this post office
if we have to make one for you. You don’t
know what a letter like t
hat
means to us. We usually get nothing but
complaints.”

As a kid, Kacey Long would dream of
becoming
a
professional woman.
While
studying
human resources management
successfully at university. Long decide to change
her
look. So, at 19,she decided to get
her breasts enlarged, “I was all about doing
anything I could to improve myself,”
she says.
With
that
decision,
Long
joined
thousands
of
young
patients
who
are
surgically
altering their
appearance each year. Teenagers even younger than
Long are having
breasts enlarged, noses
and ears reshaped and skin changed.
In
2003,
almost
336,000
American
teens
18
or
younger
had
some
kind
of
cosmetic
(
美容
) surgery or
procedure, a 50% increase over 2002.
Patient-safety advisers believe that many of the
teens having surgery are
unnecessarily
putting themselves at risk of injury or even
death. Teens are at the
greatest
risk
of
making
a
decision
they
will
regret
as
Long
did.
Long
had
her
breasts
enlarged to
size
D, felt sick and weak within months
after the $$4,500-cost plastic
surgery,
and
had
her
breast
fillings
removed
two
years
later.
She
is
still
suffering
from the long, painf
ul
recoveries. “I wish I had never done it,” says
Long. She
is
just
one
of
those
thousands
who
are
actually
risking
their
future
beauty
by
going
under the knife when they are still
growing.

224,000 in the year 2003
B) was about
224,000 in 2002 but doubled in 2003
C)
amounted to approximately 224,000 in 2002
D) amounted to approximately 168.000 in
2002
33. When Long says “I wish I had
never done it,” she expresses her
_______.
A) regretfulness
for her decision to have the breast surgery
B) regretfulness for having paid $$4,500
for the surgery

There
was
one
thought
that
air
pollution
affected
only
the
area
immediately
around
large cities with factories and heavy
automobile traffic. At present, we realize
that although these are the areas with
the worst air pollution, the problem is
literally worldwide. On several
occasions over the past decade, a heavy cloud of
air
pollution
has
covered
the
east
of
the
United
States
and
brought
health
warnings
in rural areas away
from any major concentration of manufacturing and
automobile
traffic. In fact, the very
climate of the entire earth may be infected by air
pollution. Some scientists consider
that the increasing concentration of carbon
dioxide in the air resulting from the
burning of fossil fuels
（
coal and
oil
）
is
creating
a “greenhouse effect”—
conserving heat
reflected from the earth and
raising
the world's average temperature. If this view is
correct and the world's
temperature is
raised only a few degrees, much of the polar ice
cap will melt and
cities such as New
York, Boston, Miami, and New Orleans will be in
water.
Another
view,
less
widely
held,
is
that
increasing
particular
matter
in
the
atmosphere is blocking sunlight and
lowering the earth's temperature
—
a result
that
would
be
equally
disastrous.
A
drop
of
just
a
few
degrees
could
create
something
close to a new ice
age, and would mane agriculture difficult or
impossible in many
of
our
top
farming
areas.
Today
we
do
not
know
for
sure
that
either
of
these
conditions
will happen
（
though one recent
government report drafted by experts in the field
concluded that the greenhouse effect is
very possible
）
Perhaps, if
we are lucky
enough,
the
two
tendencies
will
offset
each
other
and
the
world's
temperature
will
stay about the same as
it is now. Driven by economic profits, people
neglect the
damage on our environment
caused by the “advanced civilization”. Maybe the
air
pollution is the price the human
beings have to pay for their development. But is
it really worthwhile?
56. As pointed out at the beginning of
the passage, people used to think that air
pollution _______.
[ A ] cause widespread damage in the
countryside
[ B ] affected
the entire eastern half of the United States
[ C ] had damaged effect on
health
[ D ] existed merely
in urban and industries areas
57. As to the greenhouse effect, the
author __________.
[ A ]
share the same view with the scientist.
[ B ] is uncertain of its
occurrence
[ C ] rejects it
as being ungrounded
[ D ]
thinks that it will destroy the world soon
58. The word “offset” in
the second paragraph could be replaced by
_________.
[ A]
slip into [ B ] make up for
[ C ] set up [ D ] catch up with
59. It can be concluded
that ____________.
[ A ]
raising the world's temperature only a few degrees
would not do much harm to
life on
earth.
[
B]
lowering
the
world's
temperature
merely
a
few
degrees
would
lead
major
farming
areas to disaster.
[C] almost no temperature
variations have occurred over the past decade.
[D] the world's temperature
will remain constant in the years to come.
60. This passage is
primarily about __________.
[A]the greenhouse effect??
[ B ] the burning of fossil
fuels??
[C] the
potential effect of air pollution.
[ D] the likelihood of a new ice age.

Europe’s
Gypsies, Are They a
Nation
The striving of countries in Central
Europe to enter the European Union may
offer
an
unprecedented
chance
to
the
continent’s
Gypsies
(or
Roman)
to
be
recognized
as
a nation, albeit one without a defined territory.
And if they were to achieve
that they
might even seek some kind of formal
place
—
at least a total
population
outnumbers
that
of
many
of
the
Union’s
present
and
future
countries.
Some
experts
put
the figure at 4m-plus; some proponents of Gypsy
rights go as high as 15m.
Unlike Jews,
Gypsies have had no known ancestral land to hark
back to. Though
their language is
related to Hindi, their territorial origins are
misty. Romanian
peasants held them to
be born on the moon. Other Europeans (wrongly)
thought them
migrant Egyptians, hence
the derivative Gypsy. Most probably they were
itinerant
th
metal workers
and entertainers who drifted west from India in
the 7
century.
However,
since communism in Central Europe collapsed a
decade ago, the notion
of Romanestan as
a landless nation founded on
Gypsy culture
has gained
ground.
The
International
Romany Union, which says it stands for 10m Gypsies
in more than 30
countries, is fostering
the idea of “self
-
rallying”.
It is trying to promote a
standard
and
written
form
of
the
language;
it
waves
a
Gypsy
flag
(green
with
a
wheel)
when
it
lobbies
in
such
places
as
the
United
Bations;
and
in
July
it
held
a
congress
in
Prague,
The
Czech
capital.
Where
President
Vaclav
Havel
said
that
Gypsies
in
his
own country and elsewhere should have a
better deal.
At
the
congress
a
Slovak-born
lawyer,
Emil
Scuka,
was
elected
president
of
the
International
Tomany
Union.
Later
this
month
a
group
of
elected
Gypsy
politicians,
including
members of parliament, mayors and local councilors
from all over Europe
(OSCE), to discuss
how to persuade more Gypsies to get involved in
politics.
****
以下部分老师未给出
****
The International Romany Union is
probably the most representative of the
outfits
that
speak
for
Gypsies,
but
that
is
not
saying
a
lot.
Of
the
several
hundred
delegates
who
gathered
at
its
congress,
few
were
democratically
elected;
oddly,
none
came
from
Hungary,
whose
Gypsies
are
perhaps
the
world’s
best
organized,
with
some
450 Gypsy bodies
advising local councils there. The union did,
however, announce
its ambition to set
up a parliament, but how it would actually be
elected was left
undecided.
So far, the European Commission is wary
of encouraging Gypsies to present
themselves as a nation. The might, it
is feared, open a Pandora’s box already
containing Basques, Corsicans and other
awkward peoples. Besides, acknowledging
Gypsies as a nation might backfire,
just when several countries, particularly
Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech
Republic, are beginning to treat them better, in
order
to
qualify
for
EU
membership.
“The
EU’s
whole
premise
is
to
overcome
differences, not to
highlight them,” says
a nervous
Eurocrat.
But the idea that the Gypsies
should win some kind of special recognition as
Europe’s largest continent wide
minority, and one with a terrible history of
persecution,
is
catching
on
.
Gypsies
have
suffered
many
pogroms
over
the
centuries.
In Romania, the
country that still has the largest number of them
(more than 1m),
th
in
the
19
century
they
were
actually
enslaved.
Hitler
tried
to
wipe
them
out,
along
with the Jews.
“Gypsies deserve some space within
European structures,” says Jan Mari
nus
Wiersma,
a
Dutchman
in
the
European
Parliament
who
suggests
that
one
of
the
current
commissioners should
be responsible for Gypsy affairs. Some prominent
Gypsies say
they should be more
directly represented, perhaps with a quota in the
European
Parliament.
That,
they
argue,
might
give
them
a
boost.
There
are
moves
afoot
to
help
them to get money for,
among other things, a Gypsy university.
