Passage1
Questions1to5arebasedonthefollowingpassage:
Wecanmakemistakesatanyage.Somemistakeswemakeareaboutmoney.Butmostmistakesareaboutpeople.“DidJerryreallycarewhenIbrokeupwithHelen?
”“WhenIgotthatgreatjob,didJim,asafriend,reallyfeelgoodaboutit?
Ordidheenvymyluck?
”“AndwasPaulfriendlyjustbecauseIhadacar?
”Whenwelookback,doubtslikethesecanmakeusfeelbad.Butwhenwelookback,itistoolate.
在任何年龄段,我们都有可能犯错误。
有些错误是与金钱有的,但大部分是与人有关的。
“我和海伦分手,杰瑞在意吗?
”,“我得到那份好工作时,我的好朋友吉姆是高兴还是嫉妒?
”“保尔仅仅是因为我拥有车才对我友好吗?
”。
当我们回头想一想时,诸如此类的疑问确实能让我们感觉不爽,但是往往已经太晚了。

Thereisabitofenvyinthosewords.Whathemaybesayingisthathedoesn’tthinkyoudeserveyourluck.
为什么我们会误解我们的朋友或者敌人呢?
有时,人们所说的掩盖了他们真实的意思。
如果我们不是用心去倾听的话,我们会误解其言外之意的。
假如有人告诉你,“你是个幸运儿!
”他真的是和你站在一边吗?
如果他说,“你是个幸运的家伙!
”,那是对你表示友好。
“幸运儿?
”这话中就有点嫉妒的味儿了。
其实他真想说的是,他不认为你应该如此的幸运。
“Justthinkofallthethingsyouhavetobethankfulfor”isanotherphrasethatsaysonethingandmeansanother.Itcouldmeanthatthespeakeristryingtogetyoutoseeyourproblem.Butthisphrasecontainsthethoughtthatyourproblemisnotatallimportant.
“记住所有的你必须感谢的事情”是个话中有话的句子。
它可能意味着说话者要你看到你存在的问题,但这句话也有另外的含义,即你的问题根本不重要。

Onewayistotakeagoodlookatthepersontalking.Dohiswordsfitthewayhelooks?

Stopandthink.Theminuteyouspendthinkingabouttherealmeaningofwhatpeoplesaytoyoumaysaveyouranothermistake.
你如何才能知道某人话里的真正意思呢?
一种方法就是仔细观察说话者。
他的话与他的表现混合吗?
他的语气反映所说的话吗?
他的眼神如何?
停下来,好好想一想。
你花在思考别人话中有话的努力会是你不犯另外的错误。

Passage2
Questions6to10arebasedonthefollowingpassage:
Ithasbeenshownthatchildrenwhosmokehavecertaincharacteristics.Comparedwithnon-smokerstheyaremorerebellious(反抗的),theyaremorelikelytoleaveschoolearly,andaremoreoftenbreakingthelaw.Manyofthesefeaturescanbesummarizedasanticipation(预期)ofadulthood.
人们发现吸烟的小孩呈现某些特点。
与不吸烟的小孩相比,他们更具有叛逆性。
他们更易于辍学和犯法。
这些特点可归结为成年期待行为。
Thereareanumberoffactorswhichdeterminetheonsetofsmoking,andthesearelargelypsychologicalandsocial.Theyincludeavailabilityofcigarettes,curiosity,rebelliousness,appearingtough,anticipationofadulthood,socialconfidence,theexampleofparentsandteachers,andsmokingbyfriendsandolderbrothersandsisters.
几种因素决定了吸烟习惯的形成,其中大部分是与心理和社会有关的。
这些因素包括香烟的供应程度、人们的好奇心和叛逆性、装酷、希望成为成年人、社会信心、父母和教师的榜样以及吸烟朋友和兄弟姐妹的影响。
Itshouldbemucheasiertopreventchildrenfromstartingtosmokethantopersuadeadultstogiveupthehabitonceestablished,butinfactthishasprovedverydifficult.Theexamplesetbypeopleinauthority,especiallyparents,healthcareworkers,andteachers,isofprimeimportance.Schoolrulesshouldforbidsmokingbychildreninthebuildings.ThisrulehasbeenintroducedatSummerHillSchoolwhereIspentmyschooldays.
按理说,预防孩子吸烟要比劝说成年人戒烟要容易些,但事实上并非如此。
权威人士,特别是父母、医务工作者以及教师的榜样是非常重要的。
学校规章制度应该禁止孩子们在教学楼里吸烟。
这种制度已经在我上学的夏山(SummerHill)学校里实施。
Thereis,however,ariskofchildrensmokingjusttorebelagainsttherules,andeveninthoseschoolswhichhavetriedtoenforcenosmokingbyphysicalpunishmentthereisasmuchsmokingasinotherschools.Nevertheless,banningsmokingisprobablyonbalancebeneficial.Teacherstooshouldnotsmokeinschoolbuildings,atleastnotinfrontofchildren.
然而,还是有孩子不顾禁令,有意作对。
甚至在实行体罚禁烟的学校里,学生吸烟现象和其他学校一样严重。
但是,总的来说,禁烟是有益。
教师们也不应该在学校大楼里吸烟,至少不要当着孩子们的面。

Alibraryisaplacetofindoutaboutanything.Inittherearemostlybooks,buttherearealsopictures,papers,magazines,mapsandrecords.Specialscienceandartshows,storyhours,plays,andcontestsmayalsobeheldthere.
图书馆是求知的地方。
在那里,大部分是书籍,但也有图片、论文、杂志、地图和唱片。
图书馆也会举办专业科学和艺术展、故事讲演、电影放映、戏剧演出以及各类比赛。
Long,longagoalibraryhadonlybooks,andthesewerehardtoget.Bookscouldbewrittenonlybyhand.Thereweresofewthatnoonewasallowedtotakethemoutofthelibrary.Aftertheprintingmachinewasinvented,bookscouldbemadefaster.Thishelpedlibrariesgetmorebooks.
很久以前,图书馆仅藏有图书,那些图书很难获得。
书籍是手工书写的。
由于所藏的书籍太少了,任何人都不许将书带出图书馆。
印刷机器的发明加快了书籍的印刷速度,图书馆也因此获得更多的书籍。
Toborrowabooktotakehometoday,apersonjustneedsalibrarycard.Inmanylibrariesahelperchecksthebookout.Heorshestampsthecard.Themarkshowsthedatebywhichthebookmustbereturned.Ifthebookisreturnedlate,thepersonmustusuallypaymoney,calledafine.Insomelibrariesacomputerhastakentheplaceofstamping.
现在,要借一本书回家,人们所要做的仅仅是拥有一张借书卡。
在很多的图书馆里,图书馆员会帮助你检索所要的书籍,并在借书卡上盖印。
该印记注明还书日期。
如果未能如期还书,该读者通常要付款,即罚款。
在一些图书馆里,计算机已经取代了在借书卡上盖印。
Booksinalibraryareputintoacertainordertohelppeoplefindwhattheywant.Allbooksaboutanimalsmaybeplacedtogether.Orallstorieswrittenbythesamepersonmaybeplacedtogether.Abigsetofcardslistsallthelibrary’sbooksinalphabetical(字母的)order.Itiscalledthecardcatalog(目录).Ittellswhereeachofthemcanbefound.
图书馆里的书籍是按一定的顺序排放的,以帮助人们找到其所要的书。
所有与动物有关的书籍可能排放在一起。
所有同一作者的故事书可能排在一起。
一套按字母顺序排列的卡片记录所有馆藏书籍的。
这就是目录。
该目录告诉我们书存放的位置。
Peoplewholivefarinthecountrymayfindithardtogettoalibrary.Forthesepeopletherearebookmobiles,whicharelargetrucksfilledwithbooks,Eachtrucktravelstomanyplaces.Allthepeoplehavetodoistomeetthetruckandchoosethebookstheywouldliketoread.
生活在偏远乡村的人们可能发现到图书馆很不方便。
对于这些人,我们有流动图书馆,即装载书籍的大型卡车。
每辆卡车都会开到很多地方的,人们所有做的就是等待该车辆的到来,挑选合适他们的书籍。
