Disease, poverty, hate, love—Charles Dickens’ stories opened his readers eyes to the most important themes of his age. Two hundred years on, his stories still speak volumes across the world, proving that Dickens’ legacy(遺產(chǎn)) was far greater than just “great literature”
February 7 marks the 200th anniversary of the writer’s birthday. To mark this date, BBC writer Alex Hudson listed six things Dickens gave the modern world. Let’s take a look at two of them.
A white Christmas
Dickens is described as “the man who invented Christmas”—not the religious festival, but the cultural aspects that we associate with the festive season today. In the early 19th century, Christmas was barely worth mentioning, according to critic and writer Leigh Hunt. The committee which ran the Conservative Party even held ordinary business meetings on Christmas Day – unthinkable in the West nowadays, when everyone but the most necessary workers takes at least three days off.
Many people believe that Dickens’ popular descriptions of the festive period became a blueprint for generations to come. In his classic novel, A Christmas Carol, he not only put forward the idea of snow at Christmas, but also painted a picture of glowing warmth –“ home enjoyments, affections and hopes”.
In his biography of Dickens, Peter Ackroyd wrote: “ Dickens can be said to have almost single-handedly created the modern idea of Christmas.”
“Dickensian” poverty
Dickens was one of the first to take an honest look at the underclass and the poor of Victorian (the period during British Queen Victoria’s reign from 1837 to 1901) London.
He helped popularize the term “red tape” to describe situations where people in power use needless amounts of bureaucracy（官僚作風(fēng)） in a way that particularly hurts the weaker and poorer members of society.
“Dickensian” has now become a powerful word for describing an unacceptable level of poverty. In 2009, when the president of the Association of Teachers and Lecturers in the UK wanted to talk about deprivation in some areas of Britain, she did not use words like “terrible” or “horrific”, but rather described it as “l(fā)ife mirroring the times of Dickens”. 
小題1:What is the main idea of the article?
A．An introduction to Charles Dickens’ classic novels.
B．Charles dickens’ impact on the world.
C．Charles Dickens’ amazing characters.
D．Why Charles Dickens is popular across the world.
小題2:Why is Dickens called “the man who invented Christmas”?
A．Because he created the religious festival.
B．Because many of his novels have something to do with Christmas.
C．Because one of his novels helped to shape Christmas celebrations.
D．Because he was the first man to have proposed celebrating Christmas.
小題3:According to the article, the phrase “red tape” refers to _______.
A．rules or procedures that are required to accomplish a task
B．a(chǎn) situation in which poor members of society are hurt.
C．conflict between people in power and weaker people
D．pointlessly time-consuming official procedures

When I was a child of seven years old, my friends, on a holiday, filled my pocket with coppers. I went at once to a shop where they sold toys for children. Being charmed with the sound of a whistle that I had seen by the way, in the hands of another boy, I handed over all my money for one. I then came home, and went whistling all over the house, much pleased with my whistle, but disturbing all the family. My brothers and sisters and cousins, when I told of the bargain I had made, said I had given four times as much as the whistle was worth. They put me in mind of what good things I might have bought with the rest of the money, and laughed at me so much for my folly that I cried with vexation(煩惱). Thinking about the matter gave me more chargrin than the whistle gave me pleasure.
This, however, was afterwards of use to me, for the impression continued on my mind, so that often, when I was tempted to buy something I did not need, I said to myself, “Don’t give too much for the whistle, ” and I saved my money. As I grew up, came into the world, and observed the actions of men, I thought I met with many, very many, who “gave too much for the whistle.” When I saw some men too eager for court favor, wasting his time at court gatherings, giving up his rest, his liberty, his virtue, and perhaps his friends, for royal favor, I said to myself---“This man gives too much for the whistle.” When I saw another fond of popularity, constantly taking part in political affairs, neglecting his own business, and ruining it by neglect, “He says, indeed,” said I, “too dear for his whistle.”
If I knew a miser（守財奴） who gave up every kind of comfortable living, all the pleasure of doing good to others, all the esteem of his fellow citizens and the joys of friendship, for the sake of gathering and keeping wealth--- “Poor man,” said I, “ you pay too dear for your whistle.” When I met a man of pleasure, who did not try to improve his mind or his fortune but merely devoted himself to having a good time, perhaps neglecting his health, “ Mistaken man, you are providing pain for yourself, instead of pleasure; you are paying too dear for your whistle.” If I saw someone fond of appearance who has fine clothes, fine houses, fine furniture, fine earrings, all above his fortune, and for which he had run into debt, and ends his career in a prison. “Alas,” said I, “he has paid dear, very dear, for his whistle.” In short the miseries of mankind are largely due to their puffing a false value on things --- to giving “too much for their whistle.”
小題1:How did the author get the whistle?
A．He bought it in a toy shop for children.
B．He got it as a birthday present.
C．He exchanged all his coppers for it from another boy.
D．He got it from his brothers, sisters and cousins.
小題2:When the author recalled(回憶) the whistle, he felt______________.
A．pleasedB．charmedC．chagrinD．worth
小題3:Which situation would not the author say “ too dear for the whistle?”
A．People were tempted to buy something they did not need.
B．Men were too eager for court favor, wasting his time.
C．People were fond of popularity, constantly taking part in political affairs.
D．People were devoted to a career he loved so much.
小題4:Which Chinese equivalent can best describe “ too dear for the whistle”?
A．得不償失B．皆大歡喜C．物超所值D．名副其實(shí)
小題5:What’s the best title of the passage?
A．A story in my childhood.
B．Too dear for whistle.
C．A lesson from a whistle.
D．We should have a right attitude towards temptation（誘惑）.

In the more and more competitive service industry, it is no longer enough to promise customer satisfaction. Today, customer "delight" is what companies are trying to achieve in order to keep and increase market share.
It is accepted in the marketing industry, and confirmed by a number of researchers, that customers receiving good service will promote business by telling up to 12 other people; those treated badly tell tales of woe to up to 20 people. Interestingly, 80 percent of people who feel their complaints are handled fairly will stay loyal.
New challenges for customer care have come when people can obtain goods and services through telephone call centers and the Internet. For example, many companies now have to invest (投資) a lot of money in information technology and staff training in order to cope with the "phone rage" -- caused by delays in answering calls, being cut off in mid-conversation or left waiting for long periods.
"Many people do not like talking to machines," says Dr. Storey, Senior Lecturer in Marketing at City University Business School. "Banks, for example, encourage staff at call centers to use customer data to establish instant and good relationship with them. The aim is to make the customer feel they know you and that you can trust them -- the sort of comfortable feelings people have during face-to-face chats with their local branch manager."
Recommended ways of creating customer delight include: under-promising and over-delivering (saying that a repair will be carried out within five hours, but getting it done within two) replacing a faulty product immediately; throwing in a gift voucher (購物禮券) as an unexpected "thank you" to regular customers; and always returning calls, even when they are complaints.
Aiming for customer delight is all very well, but if services do not reach the high level promised, disappointment or worse will be the result. This can be eased by offering an apology and an explanation of why the service did not meet usual standards with empathy (for example, "I know how you must feel"), and possible solutions (replacement, compensation or whatever fairness suggests best meets the case).
Airlines face some of the toughest challenges over customer care. Fierce competition has convinced them that delighting passengers is an important marketing tool, while there is great potential for customer anger over delays caused by weather, unclaimed luggage and technical problems.
For British Airways staff, a winning telephone style is considered vital in handling the large volume of calls about bookings and flight times. They are trained to answer quickly, with their names, job title and a "we are here to help" attitude. The company has invested heavily in information technology to make sure that information is available instantly on screen.
British Airways also says its customer care policies are applied within the company and staff are taught to regard each other as customers requiring the highest standards of service.
Customer care is obviously here to stay and it would be a foolish company that used slogans such as "we do as we please". On the other hand, the more customers are promised, the greater the risk of disappointment.
小題1:We can learn from Paragraph 2 that _______.
A．complaining customers are hard to satisfy
B．unsatisfied customers receive better service
C．satisfied customers catch more attention
D．well-treated customers promote business
小題2:The writer mentions "phone rage" (Paragraph 3) to show that ________.
A．customers often use phones to express their anger
B．people still prefer to buy goods online
C．customer care becomes more demanding
D．customers rely on their phones to obtain services
小題3:What does the writer recommend to create customer delight?
A．Calling customers regular.
B．Giving a "thank you" note.
C．Delivering a quicker service.
D．Promising more gifts.
小題4:If a manager should show his empathy (Paragraph 6), what would be probably say?
A．"I know how upset you must be."
B．"I appreciate your understanding."
C．"I'm sorry for the delay."
D．"I know it's our fault."
小題5:Customer delight is important for airlines because ________.
A．their telephone style remains unchanged
B．they are more likely to meet with complaints
C．the services cost them a lot of money
D．the policies can be applied to their staff
小題6:Which of the following is conveyed in this article?
A．Face-to-face service creates comfortable feelings among customers.
B．Companies that promise more will naturally attract more customers.
C．A company should promise less but do more in a competitive market.
D．Customer delight is more important for air lines then for banks.

In James Cameron’s fantasy films, such as Avatar and The Abyss, the unexplored is decorated in color and filled with alien danger. But on his dive to the deepest place on Earth, which took place on a Sunday last month, reality proved far different: white, deserted, and dull.
“I felt like I literally had gone to another planet and come back,” Cameron said after returning from the cold, dark place in the western Pacific Ocean, nearly 7 miles (11km) below the surface. “It was a very fantastic day.” Cameron is the first person to explore the deepest valley in the ocean since two men made a 20-minute trip there in 1960.
He spent about three hours gliding through the icy darkness, brightened only by lights on the one-man sub(潛水艇). This deepest section of the Mariana Trench is so untouched that at first it appeared dull. But there’s something strangely interesting about the first pieces of video that Cameron shot — a sense of aloneness.
“It’s really the sense of isolation, realizing how tiny you are down in this big, black and unexplored place,” the Titanic director said. The wordless minute-long video, released by sponsor National Geographic, shows Cameron’s sub gliding across what he calls “the very soft, almost gelatinous(膠狀的) flat plain.”
To Cameron, the main thing was to appreciate being there. “There had to be a moment where I just stopped, and took it in, and said, ‘This is where I am; I’m at the bottom of the ocean, the deepest place on Earth. What does that mean?’” Cameron told reporters during a conference call. The trip was only about half as long as planned because Cameron’s battery ran low. He said he would return and film it in 3D for later viewing.
“I see this as the beginning,” Cameron said. “It’s not a one-time deal and then moving on. This is the beginning of opening up this new frontier.”
小題1:Why did Cameron dive to the deepest place on Earth?
A．To study ocean creatures in the deepest valley.
B．To prove his strong will and perseverance.
C．To get support from National Geographic.
D．To open up a new frontier.
小題2:Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Cameron’s fantasy film, Avatar was inspired by his dive to the deepest place on Earth.
B．Cameron glided through the icy darkness alone by lights of the one-man sub.
C．Cameron didn’t stay at the bottom of the ocean as planned because he was worn out.
D．Cameron felt bored when he went to the deepest valley in the ocean.
小題3:The underlined sentence in the passage means that ______.
A．he appreciated and took pride in being at the bottom of the ocean
B．he was disappointed because the trip was only about half as long as planned
C．Cameron wanted to show the public he had been to the deepest place on Earth
D．he wouldn’t stop exploring the deepest place in the future
小題4:According to the passage, which of the following words best describes Cameron?
A．Generous.B．Diligent.
C．Self-centered.D．Adventurous.
小題5:What’s the best title of the passage?
A．James Cameron’s Fantasy Films.
B．The First to Explore the Deepest Place on Earth.
C．A Dive to the Deepest Place on Earth.
D．Crazy Cameron.

When JetBlue captain Clayton Osbon became unpredictable, his co-pilot invented a reason for him to go back into the cabin．Once the captain was out of the cockpit （駕駛艙） , the co-pilot locked the door to keep the captain from returning．Passengers, some with law enforcement experience, calmed the captain．The flight changed course to Amarillo, Texas where the captain was hospitalized．
Incidents in which a pilot has had an in-flight psychological breakdown are rare．But how could it happen at all? Though pilots are required to have an examination at least once a year by a physician approved by the FAA, there are no formal procedures in place to test pilots for signs of psychological problems．
At most airlines, pilots are members of a union．A pilot who appears to have a psychological or an alcohol problem can be reported to a union member whose job it is to investigate．If there is a problem, the pilot is given the choice of getting treatment or being reported to management．But at airlines, such as Allegiant, JetBlue, and Virgin American where there is no union, pilots are – to say the least - unwilling to report a fellow pilot to management．
In most professions, a person experiencing emotional difficulties is free to consult a doctor．Rut an airline pilot in therapy is viewed with suspicion both by the airline and by the FAA．No pilot wants to be put under extra examination by an agency that has the power to revoke their license or end their employment．That being the case, pilots are less likely than people in other professions to seek help．
There may be no way to make sure this never happens again, but its possibility can be reduced． Tests such as the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory （ MMPI） can reliably detect depression, paranoia, schizophrenia, and other problems．The FAA could require pilots to take the MMPI or a similar test on a periodic basis．Whether such testing becomes required will depend upon the public's response to this incident and whether additional incidents take place．
Flying is remarkably safe．But incidents such as this cause concern．
小題1:What does the underlined word "revoke" most probably mean?
A．delayB．cancelC．interruptD．renew
小題2:Why are some pilots unwilling to report a fellow pilot to management?
A．Because they are tested for signs of psychological problems every year．
B．Because they are likely to be treated by physicians．
C．Because they are supported by the airlines．
D．Because they might be fired．
小題3:What is the author' s attitude towards the incident?
A．satisfiedB．indifferentC．concernedD．disapproving
小題4:In which part of the newspaper can the passage be found?
A．EntertainmentB．SportsC．BusinessD．Society

Thirty-two people watched kitty Genovese being killed right beneath their windows. She was their neighbor. Yet none of the 32 helped her. Not one even called the police. Was this in gunman cruelty? Was it lack of feeling about one’s fellow man?
Not so, say scientists John Barley and Bib Fatane. These men went beyond the headlines to probe（探查） the reasons why people didn’t act. They found that a person has to go through two steps before he can help. First he has to notice that is an emergency(緊急情況).
　　Suppose you see a middle-aged man fall to the side-walk. Is he having a heart attack? Is he in a coma （昏迷） from diabetes（糖尿�。�? Or is he about to sleep off a drunk?
Is the smoke coming into the room from a leak in the air conditioning? Is it steam pipes? Or is it really smoke from a fire? It’s not always easy to tell if you are faced with a real emergency.
　　Second, and more important, the person faced with an emergency must feel personally responsible. He must feel that he must help, or the person won’t get the help he needs.
The researchers found that a lot depends on how many people are around. They had college students in to be tested. Some came alone. Some came with one or two others. And some came in large groups. The receptionist started them off on the tests. Then she went into the next room. A curtain divided the testing room and the room into which she went. Soon the students heard a scream, the noise of file cabinets falling and a cry for help. All of this had been pre-recorded on a tape-recorder.
Eight out of ten of the students taking the test alone acted to help. Of the students in pairs, only two out of ten helped. Of the students in groups, none helped.
In other words, in a group, Americans often fail to act. They feel that others will act. They, themselves, needn’t. They do not feel any direct responsibility.
Are people bothered by situations where people are in trouble? Yes. Scientists found that the people were emotional, they sweated, they had trembling hands. They felt the other person’s trouble. But they did not act. They were in a group. Their actions were shaped by the actions of those they were with.
小題1:The purpose of this passage is_________.
A．to explain why people fail to act in emergencies
B．to explain when people will act in emergencies
C．to explain what people will do in emergencies
D．to explain how people feel in emergencies
小題2:Which of the following is NOT true?
A．When a person tries to help others, he must be clear that there is a real emergency.
B．When a person tries to help others, he should know whether hey are worth his help.
C．A person must take the full responsibility for the safety of those in emergencies if he wants to help.
D．A person with a heart attack needs the most.
小題3: The researchers have conducted an experiment to prove that people will act in emergencies when__________.
A．they are in pairs　　B．they are in groups
C．they are alone 　　　D．they are with their friends
小題4:The main reason why people fail to act when they stay together is that _________.
A．they are afraid of emergencies
B．they are reluctant to get themselves involved
C．others will act if they themselves hesitate
D．they do not have any direct responsibility for those who need help
