Victor Hugo wrote that, “The supreme happiness of life is the   20  that one is loved; loved for oneself, or better yet, loved despite oneself.” It was that gift of happiness that my parents gave me that afternoon and every day of my life.

Should e-cigarettes (electronic cigarettes) be a new choice for the smokers trying to get rid of the habit? Reactions from Americans are mixed. More than half of the people questioned in a survey think e-cigarettes should be controlled by the US Food and Drug Administration, but 47 percent believe the e-cigarettes should be available to the smokers who want to quit.
“In the hunt for a safter cigarette, e-cigarettes are becoming a popular choice among those either trying to quit.”or looking to replace standard tobacco smoke with an alternative that manufacturers claim to be safer, ”Zogby International, which conducted the survey, said in a statement.
About half of the 4,611 adults who took part in the survey had heard about e-cigarettes, which are battery-powered, or rechargeable cigarettes that vaporize a liquid nicotine solution. They do not produce smoke but a water vapor without smell. Sold mostly on the Internet, e-cigarettes were first made in China.
Last year the World Health Organization (WHO) warned against using e-cigarettes, saying there was no evidence to prove they were safe or helped smokers break the habit. The WHO said people who smoke e-cigarettes breathe in a fine fog of nicotine into the lungs.
Nearly a third of people questioned in the survey think that e-cigarettes should be allowed in places where smoking is forbidden, because they don’t produce smoke, but 46 percent disagree. Men who were aware of the availability of e-cigarettes were more likely than woman to say they should be a choice available to smokers who want to quit. Young people, aged 18-29, and singles were the groups most open to trying e-cigarettes. Smoking is the single largest cause of preventable death worldwide, according to the WHO.
小題1:What can we learn from Paragraph 1?
A．American smokers ought to try e-cigarettes.
B．Americans have different opinions about e-cigarettes.
C．Every kind of cigarettes should be forbidden in America.
D．Most of the Americans don’t like e-cigarettes.
小題2:According to Zogby International, e-cigarettes        .
A．a(chǎn)re much safer than common cigarettes
B．a(chǎn)re popular among people who want to quit smoking
C．will take the place of traditional cigarettes
D．a(chǎn)re produced in a safer way by manufacturers
小題3:What do we know about e-cigarettes from the passage?
A．Most Americans are familiar with them.
B．They are a good choice as there is no nicotine.
C．They produce a water vapor that can’t be seen.
D．Most people buy them on the Internet.
小題4:What’s the attitude of the WHO towards e-cigarettes?
A．NegativeB．SupportiveC．Doubtful.D．Indifferent

Twenty-first century humanity has mapped oceans and mountains, visited the moon, and surveyed the planets. But for all the progress, people __1  don’t know one another very well.
That brings about Theodore Zeldin’s “  2  of conversation” — events   3  individuals sit in pairs with persons they don’ t know for three hours of  4  talk designed to help people know better about each other.
Mr. Zeldin heads Oxford Muse, a l0-year-old foundation based on the  _5  that what people need is not more information, but more inspiration and encouragement.
The “feast” in London looks  6 at politics or events, but at how people have felt about work, relations among the sexes, hopes  7   fears, enemies and authority, the shape of their lives. The “menu of _8  ” includes topics like “How have your concerns changed   9  the years?” Or, “What have you done against the past?”
As participants gathered, Zeldin opened with a speech: that despite  _10  communications like QQ and MSN in a globalized age, issues of human heart   11 . Many people are lonely, or occupied in dealing with their daily businesses that discourage knowing the _ 12 _ of one another. “We are trapped in _ 13 _ conversations and the whole point now is to think, which is sometimes painful,”he says. “But   14 _ interaction is what separates us from other species, __15  maybe dogs that do have interactions with humans.”
The main rules of the “feast”: Don’t   16 _ with someone you know or ask questions you would not answer. The only awkward moment came when the multi-racial crowd of people of different ages, in sun hats, ties and   __17_, looked to see   18  they would talk with for hours.   19  15 minutes later, everyone was seated and talking, continuing full force until organizers interrupted them 180 minutes later.
Some said they felt free to talk on   20   topics. Thirty-something Peter, from East London, said that “it might take weeks or months to get to the level of interaction we suddenly opened up.”

While talking with the barber, Jim mentioned the organ donations, looking at his watch: “They are transplanting one of his heart valves(瓣膜) right now.”

B
I’ve loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to sit above the top of it. Mother sat writing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be a most wonderful thing in the world.
Years later, during her final illness, Mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk,” she said again, “is for Elizabeth.”
I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed in action. But as a young girl. I wanted to have heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.
They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional (易動感情的)”. But she lived “on the surface (表面)”.
As years passed and I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive me.
My hope turned to disappointment, then little interest and, finally, peace – it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn’t be sure that the letter had even got to Mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.
But the present of her desk told me, as she’d never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside – a photo of my father and a one-paper letter, folded and refolded many times. It was my letter.
“In any way you choose, Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.”
小題1:The writer began to love her mother’s desk________.
A．a(chǎn)fter Mother diedB．a(chǎn)fter she wrote the letter
C．when she was a childD．when Mother gave it to her
小題2:The passage shows that_________.
A．Mother was cold on the surface but kind in her heart to her daughter
B．Mother was too serious about her daughter in words
C．Mother wrote to her daughter in careful words
D．Mother wrote to her daughter in careless words
小題3:Which of the following is NOT true?
A．The author may work as a writer
B．The author and her mother love each other, but didn’t say it out
C．Neither the author nor her mother had a happy family.
D．The author’s mother is a person who prefers act to words.
小題4:What did Mother do with her daughter’s letter asking for forgiveness?
A．She had never received the letter.
B．For years, she often talked about the letter.
C．She didn’t forgive her daughter at all in all her life.
D．She read the letter again and again till she died.
小題5:What’s best title of the passage?
A．My letter to MotherB．Mother and children
C．My Mother’s DeskD．Talks between Mother and me
