Perhaps you have never heard of Katherine Lawes．Katherine was the wife of Lewis Lawes, warden （監(jiān)獄長） at Sing Sing Prison from 1920 to 1941．In these 21 years he made many reforms --- and an important part of his success was due to his wife Katherine．
Katherine took seriously the idea that the prisoners are human beings ,worthy of attention and respect ．She regularly visited inside the walls of Sing Sing．She encouraged the prisoners, took things to them and spent time listening to them．Most importantly, she cared about them．And as a result, they cared deeply about her．
Then one night in October of 1937, news was "telegraphed" between the prison cells that Katherine had been killed in an accident．The prisoners asked the warden to allow them to attend her funeral．He agreed to their strange request and a few days later the south gate of Sing Sing swung slowly open．Hundreds of men who had committed almost every crime imaginable marched slowly out of the prison, later gathered again at the gate and returned to their cells．There were so many that they proceeded unguarded．But no one tried to escape．If he had, the others might have killed him immediately．So devoted were they to Katherine Lawes, the woman who daily walked into Hell to show the men a piece of Heaven．
Katherine' s strength was to see the men less as prisoners and more as individuals．Thomas Moore once said, "We can only treat badly those things or people whose souls we show no respect for．"

Jascha Richter once sang “don't need too much talking without saying anything” to reveal his lonely feeling in a crowd.
Dad always told me never to ever reveal my true opinions towards other people if such opinions are negative. He said this is the “Chu Shi Zhe Xue”, the philosophy of dealing with social network.
It seems that everybody here just follows this philosophy very, very well.
Friends. I would say that if I were given true friendship I would definitely treasure it with my greatest care. If I really regard someone as my close friend, I would never leave her alone whenever she's in need, either financially or mentally. And I always believe, as long as I treat people with whole-hearted honesty, I would have some rewards—at least, just ONE true friend of the same gender（性別）.
Sometimes I just miss my friends in China. Perhaps when we became friends, we were still young, too young to have been polluted by any dirt in the society. But here, it is simply different. It seems that all of us have learnt how to SURVIVE in a foreign land and such an experience actually makes us learn how to extract (榨取) the most benefits from the surroundings in order to survive.
All are friends around me. I've looked through all the dark sides of their personalities and yet I have to pretend that I know nothing. THEY ARE GOOD. THEY ARE GOOD. AND WE ARE FRIENDS. And then I can make myself comfortable enough to talk to people I hate the most. And of course, they don't say any words truly from their hearts. Neither do I.
But, sometimes I just feel unwilling to talk to these people. Sometimes, I just want to be alone, quietly, without being forced to listen to their gossip or other useless words.
“Standing on a mountain high
Looking at the moon through a clear blue sky
I should go and see some friends         
But they don't really comprehend”
Jascha Richter expresses my feelings also.

Back in 2003 I had a pet rabbit named Alaska．Due to the rules the landlord had set，he had to be kept in the basement(地下室)．One night I went downstairs to feed him．Keep in mind I’ve always thought the basement was frightening．As I was facing his cage and putting the bowl of water inside，a big shadow appeared behind me，as if a big，tall man were standing behind me．I turned around and nobody was there，but I got the distinct(清晰的)feeling that I was being watched．I basically dropped the water bowl and ran upstairs shouting for my mom．Ever since then I can’t go down there alone．
Once I was trying to get to sleep，and I slept with the lights off．All of sudden I wanted to leave the room eagerly，but I couldn’t get out of my bed，I was too scared．The feeling of someone looking closely at me was so upset，I was physically afraid to move or breathe．I opened my curtains to let the street light in，thinking the light would help me feel better to move．That did nothing．I must have sat there on my bed for about fifteen minutes before I got up．I didn’t sleep in there that night．I’ve never felt anything so upset!
Then there are all the little things，like seeing things in the comer of my eye，hearing doors open or close when I’m home alone，and the feeling of being watched．Once when my sister wasn’t home(we share a room)I heard someone breathing from her bed and heard the sheets rustle(沙沙聲)．Last week，I felt someone patting me in the shoulder when I was alone in my room．Sometimes I’ll be looking something and I’ll see one or more contorted(扭曲的)，angry faces．
I realize that when one is looking for something to happen they can make things happen or imagine it．These are the moments in which I know nothing was imagined，so I wanted to share them and get your opinions．Thanks so much．

The next day I sat down，with almost a hundred other candidates，for the intelligence test．I must have done all right because after about half an hour’s wait I was sent into another room for a psychological test．This time there were only about fifty candidates．The interviewer sat at a desk．Candidates were signaled forward to occupy the seat opposite him when the previous occupant had been dismissed，after a greater or shorter time．Obviously the long interviews were the more successful ones．Some of the interviews were as short as five minutes．Mine was the only one that lasted a minute and a half．
I can remember the questions now：“Why did you leave your last job?”“Why did you leave your job before that?”“And the one before that?”I can’t recall my answers，except that they were short at first and grew progressively shorter．His closing statement，I thought，evealed(揭示)a lack of sensitivity which helped to explain why as a psychologist，he had risen no higher than the underground railway．“You’ve failed the psychological test and we are unable to offer you a position．”
Failing to get that job was my low point．Or so I thought，believing that the work was easy．Actually，such jobs—being a postman is another one I still desire—demand exactly the sort of elementary yet responsible awareness that the habitual dreamer is least qualified to give．But I was still far short of full self-understanding．I was also short of cash．
小題1:The writer applied for the job chiefly because        .

Too many people wander through life like sleepwalkers．Each day they follow familiar routines，never asking，“What am I doing with my life?’’and they don’t know what they’re doing because they lack goals．
Goal-setting is a focusing of the will to move in a certain direction．Begin with a clear conception of what you want．Write down your goals and date them—putting them into words clarifies them．Rather than concentrating on objects to acquire and possess，focus on fulfilling your desires to do，to produce，to contribute—goal-setting that yields the true sense of satisfaction we all need．
It’s important to visualize(想象)yourself accomplishing your goal．While losers visualize the penalties(不利)of failure，winners visualize the rewards of success．I’ve seen it among athletes，statistics contrasting air and highway safety，but it made no difference．I had read too many articles describing crash scenes and imagined these scenes vividly．I had programmed myself，without realizing it，to stay off planes．
Then one summer I had the opportunity to fly on a private plane with friends to a resort；I didn’t want to miss out on a great vacation．So I spent two weeks imagining a smooth flight on a beautiful sunny day and an easy landing．
When the day arrived，I was eager to go．To everyone’s surprise，I got on the plane and I loved every minute of it，and I still use the techniques I employed that day．

B．he couldn’t imagine himself accomplishing his goal

C．he read too much about plane crashes and tried to avoid flying

D．he wanted to take a private plane instead of a public one

小題4:What would be the best title for this passage?

A．Define Your Coal

Communications technologies are far from equal when it comes to conveying the truth．The first study to compare honesty across a range of communication media has found that people are twice as likely to tell lies in phone conversations as they are in emails．The fact that emails are automatically recorded—and can come back to puzzle you---appears to be the key to the finding．
Jeff Hancock of Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, asked 30 students to keep a communications diary for a week．In it they noted the number of conversations or email exchanges they had lasting more than 10 minutes, and confessed to how many lies they told．Hancock then worked out the number of lies per conversation for each medium．He found that lies made up 14 per cent of emails, 21 percent of instant messages, 27 per cent of face-to-face interactions and an astonishing 37 percent of phone calls．
His results to be presented at the conference on human-computer interaction in Vienna, Austria, in April, have surprised psychologists．Some expected emailers to be the biggest liars, reasoning that because deception makes people uncomfortable, the indirect contact of emailing would make it easier to lie．Others expected people to lie more in face-to-face exchanges because we are most practiced at that form of communication．
But Hancock says it is also crucial whether a conversation is being recorded and could be reread, and whether it occurs in real time．People appear to be afraid to lie when they know the communication could later be used to hold them to account, he says．This is why fewer lies appear in email than on the phone．
People are also more likely to lie in real time---in an instant message or phone call, say---than if they have time to think of a response, says Hancock．He found many lies are spontaneous（脫口而出） responses to an unexpected demand, such as: “Do you like my dress?”
Hancock hopes his research will help companies work out the best ways for their employees to communicate．For instance, the phone might be the best medium for sales where employees are encouraged to stretch the truth．But, given his result, work assessment where honesty is a priority, might be best done using email．
小題1:Hancock’s study focuses on _______．

A．the consequences of lying in various communications media

B．the success of communications technologies in conveying ideas

C．people are less likely to lie in instant messages

D．people’s honesty levels across a range of communications media

小題2:Hancock’s research finding surprised those who believed that _____．

A．people are less likely to lie instant messages

C．people are most likely to lie in email communication

D．people are twice as likely to lie in phone conversations

小題3:According to the passage, why are people more likely to tell the truth through certain media of communication?

A．They are afraid of leaving behind traces of their lies

B．They believe that honesty is the best policy

C．They tend to be relaxed wh en using those media

D．They are most practised at those forms of communication

小題4:It can be inferred from the passage that ________．

A．honesty should be encouraged in interpersonal communications

B．suitable media should be chosen for different communication purposes

C．more employers will use emails to communicate with their employees

D．email is now the dominant medium of communication within a company

Most parents, I suppose, have had the experience of reading a bedtime story to their children. And they must have   11  how difficult it is to write a   12  children’s book. Either the author has aimed too   13 , so that the children can’t follow what is in his (or more often, her) story,   14  the story seems to be talking to the readers.
The best children’s books are   15  very difficult nor very simple, and satisfy both the 16  who hears the story and the adult who   17  it. Unfortunately, there are in fact few books like this,   18  the problem of finding the right bedtime story is not   19  to solve. This may be why many of the books regarded as   20  of children’s literature(文學(xué)) were in fact written for   21 . “Alice in wonderland” is perhaps the most obvious of this.
Children, left for themselves, often   22  the worst possible interest in literature. Just leave a child in a bookshop or a   23   and he will more willingly choose the books written in an imaginative way, or have a look at most children’s comics(連環(huán)畫), full of the stories and jokes which are the objections of teachers and right-thinking parents.
Perhaps we parents should stop   24  to brainwash children into accepting our taste in literature. After all children and adults are so   25  that we parents should not expect that they will enjoy the same books. So I suppose we’ll just have to compromise（妥協(xié)） over the bedtime story.

Psychology（心理學(xué)）tells us that many people hate to take risks. But it is good for us to take risks, especially (尤其)when the risk is to achieve a desired result. In that way, we become stronger and braver.
Our human nature should be to take risks, but some people just sit and wish they didn’t have the fear（恐懼）to move on. This is because of one or two failures in their lives. Please step out and don’t let the past hold you back from living life to the fullest. Move forward and move on!
In studying the psychology of taking risks, we find that human nature provides(提供) us with the desire (渴望)to experiment and take chances.
Risk taking is a great benefit（好處）that allowed our ancestors(祖先) to become stronger and stronger day by day. By taking risks they fought off enemies and discovered new territories（領(lǐng)土）. This attitude has become a part of our modern culture. Riding a roller coaster is a common risk taking activity that even the average person seems to enjoy although they have the understanding that it is dangerous. This psychological and biological (生物學(xué)上的) connection （聯(lián)系）creates an interesting connection between what is unsafe and what humans enjoy.
Getting in a car each day is a risk. Getting out of bed is a risk. There is such thing as perfect safety. We need to take risks so that we can complete (finish) many things. Astronauts take risks when they get inside a rocket; however, the things they achieve are great. Businessmen take a risk when they buy parts of a company. However, without doing that, they could not make more money.
We need to take risks so that we can gain something. It is impossible to move forward in life, earn money, enjoy a relationship, play a sport, or do anything else without taking a risk. It is all part of the game. It’s one of the most important parts of life.
小題1:Some people don’t want to take risks, mainly （主要）because ___________.

A．they are too lazy to move on

B．they feel pleased with the present life.

C．they have experienced some failures before

D．they show little interest in the strange world outside

小題2:What does the underlined part “This attitude” in Paragraph 4 mean?

A．Taking risks

B．Fighting off enemies

C．Discovering new territories

D．Becoming stronger and stronger

小題3: What can we infer from the passage?

A．Daily life is full of risks

B．The safest place has the greatest risk

C．People should take risks when they are young

D．We can always achieve our goals by taking risks

小題4: What would be the title for the passage?

A．Taking risks is easier said than done

B．On risks taken by ancestors

C．Live our life to the fullest(充分地)

D．No risk, no gain.

It was Christmas 1961. I was teaching in a small town where my twenty-seven third graders eagerly   36  the great day of gift-giving in advance.
Each day the children produced some new   37  — strings of popcorn, handmade trinkets, and German bell. Through it all she remained alone,   38   from a distance, seemingly miles away. I wondered what   39  happen to this quiet child, once so happy, now suddenly so withdrawn. I hoped the festivities would   40  her. But nothing did. The students made the fried marbles（油炸玻璃彈子）and competed with one anther to bring the   41  ones.
The day of gift-giving finally came. We cheered over our handiwork as the presents were   42 . All along, she sat quietly watching. To see her smile, I had made a special bag for her. She opened it so slowly and carefully. I waited but she   43 . I had not passed through the wall of isolation she had   44  around herself.
After school I sat down in a chair, hardly   45  of what was happening, when she came to me with outstretched hands, bearing a small white box, and slightly soiled,   46  it had been held many times by   47 , childish hands. She said nothing. “For me?” I asked. She said not a word, but   48  her head. I took the box and cautiously opened it. There inside, glistening green, a fried marble   49  from a golden chain. Then I looked into that eight-year-old   50  and saw the question in her dark brown eyes. In a flash I knew — she had   51  it for her mother, who had died just three weeks before and would never hold her or brush her hair or   52  her childish joys or sorrows.
I meant it when I whispered, “Oh, Maria, it is so beautiful. Your mother would   53  it.” Neither of us could stop the   54 . She threw herself into my arms and we wept together. And for that brief moment I became her mother, for she had given me the greatest   55  of all: her trust and love.

Warning: reading too much Cinderella to your daughter may damage her emotional health in later life. A paper to be developed at the international congress of cognitive psychotherapy(認知心理療法) in Gothenburg suggests a link between the attitudes of women abused by their parents and early exposure to the wrong sort of fairy tales. It says girls who identified with Cinderella, Rapunzel and Beauty in Beauty and the Beast were more likely to say in destructive relationships as adults.
The theory was developed by Susan Darker Smith, a psychotherapist at the University of Derby. She interviewed 67 female abuse survivors and found that 61 put up with severe abuse because they believed they could change their partners with patience, composition and love. The same view was taken by male survivors who had been abused as children. Hardly any of the women in a control group, who had not experienced abuse, thought they could change their partners in this way.
The same view was taken by male survivors who had been abused as children. These women and men said they would leave a relationship rather than put up with abuse from a partner. Ms Darker Smith found the abused women were much more likely to identify with Cinderella and other submissive female characters in fairytales, who were later rescued by a stranger prince or hero.
Although most girls heard the stories, damage appeared to be done to those who adopted the characters as role models. “They believe if their love is strong enough they can change their parents’ behaviors,” she said.” Overexposure in children to stories that emphasize the transformational qualities of love may make women believe they can change their partners.” For example, they might never have understood the obvious flaw in the story of Rapunzel, who remained locked in a high tower until rescued by a knight on a white horse, who broke the door down. “The question,” said Ms Darker Smith, “is why she did not break the door down herself.”
