Think back to this time last year. What was on your mind?
Most likely, you were thinking about finals or the holidays, although in this city I’ve noticed that thinking about the holiday is a fancy way of saying how much stuff will I get.
Now reflect on your thoughts for this holiday season. Most people are still thinking about the holidays, but I say that with a grain of salt. Everybody with a functioning brain and the ability to communicate knows that this holioday season comes with a pretty large price tag: the debt of all the hardships, both domestic and foreign, that we’ve faced over the past 12months.
Let’s face it: some of us will get everything we want over the holidays. But there are others whose parents have lost their jobs or who have lost jobs themselves because of the current economic situation. As much as we try to ignore it, there is still economic unrest in the blue and gold suburb.
In this situation, we have three options. One: We ignore the situation, like we seem to do for every bad thing that happens around us, because by God, it’s the American Way! Two: We recognize that our economy is shot, feel bad about it and spend our time wishing for the good old days. Three: We recognize that our economy is shot, but instead of moping, reflect on every good thing that we have going for us. Now, which option sounds best to you?
I spent a week this summer working in and around New York City with the city’s homeless population. Or so I thought. Although a lot of the people I served were in fact homeless, a significant number of them had a job or a home or both. The truth of the importance of this situation is that they and thousands of others across the country can’t afford even the most basic things of life, even while working two jobs. Yet no one that I met complained about their hardships. Instead, they took whatever I happened to give them(which was, more often than enough, not enough) and were genuinely grateful for what they had.
Wrap your heads around that statement for a second. These people worked their butts off to stay alive with minimal results, yet were overjoyed by a flimsy(脆弱的) paper plate with donated green beans on it. Although I am ashamed to admit it( both as a girthy figure and an affluent citizen), I have taken for granted most of my meals, let alone green beans, and I know for a fact that I am not alone.
64. 【小題1】According to the passage when people think about holidays they care much for ____.

A．where to spend their holidaysB．how to spend their holidays
C．what they can get for their holidaysD．who they should go to visit
65. 【小題2】When the author wrote the article, the economic situation in his country ____.
A．began to go bad.B．began to improveC．was still seriousD．was favorable for middle class.
66. 【小題3】The author wrote the article mainly to advise people____.
A．to be thankful in time of hardship.B．to spend their holidays in a wise way
C．to think little about their holidaysD．to help the country to sail through the crisis
67. 【小題4】It can be inferred from the passage that the writer is most probably ______.
A．a(chǎn) homeless childB．a(chǎn)n old professorC．a(chǎn) famous scientistD．a(chǎn) young student

What is time? Is it a thing to be saved or spent or wasted, like money? Or is it something we have no control over, like the weather? Is it the same all over the world? That’s an easy question, you say. Wherever you go, a minute is 60 seconds, an hour is 60 minutes, a day is 24 hours, and so forth. Well, maybe. But in America, time is more than that. Americans see time as a valuable resource. Maybe that’s why they are fond of the expression, “Time is money.”
Because Americans believe time is a limited resource, they try to keep and manage it. People in the US often attend conferences or read books on time management. It seems they all want to organize their time better. Professionals carry around pocket planners(計(jì)劃書) — some in electronic form — to keep track of appointments and deadlines. People do all they can to press more life out of their time.
To Americans, punctuality is a way of showing respect for other people’s time. Being more than 10 minutes late to an appointment usually calls for an apology, and maybe an explanation. People who are running late often call ahead to let others know of the delay. Of course, the less formal the situation, the less important it is to be exactly on time. At informal get-togethers, for example, people often arrive as much as 30 minutes past the appointed time. But they usually don’t try that at work.
American lifestyles show how much people respect the time of others. When people plan an event, they often set time days or weeks in advance. Once the time is fixed, it takes almost an emergency to change it. If people want to come to your house for a friendly visit, they will usually call first to make sure it is convenient. Only very close friends will just “drop by” unannounced. Also, people hesitate to call others late at night for fear they might be in bed. The time may vary, but most folks think twice about calling after 10:00 pm.
Even Americans would admit that no one can master time. Time, like money, slips all too easily through our finger. And time, like the weather, is very hard to predict. However, time is one of life’s most precious gifts.
【小題1】The main idea of the passage is _______.

A．time is moneyB．different attitude toward time in the world
C．how to save timeD．how Americans treat time
【小題2】In the fourth paragraph, the writer mainly tells us that _________.
A．Americans respect others’ time in daily life
B．Americans seldom call after 10:00
C．Americans inform before paying a visit to their friends
D．when planning an event, Americans usually fix time ahead of time
【小題3】The underlined phrase “think twice” (in Paragraph 4) probably means “_______ “.
A．think for a second timeB．be careful
C．be afraidD．pay attention
【小題4】It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A．Americans like time better than anything else
B．generally speaking, Americans respect their time
C．on the whole, Americans treasure their time
D．Americans consider their time is difficult to master and predict

Bobby Moresco grew up in New York's Hell's Kitchen, a tough working-class neighborhood on Manhattan's West Side. But Hell's Kitchen lies right next door to Broadway, and the bright lights attracted Bobby from the time he was a teen. Being stage-struck was hardly what a street kid could admit to his partners. Fearing their ridicule, he told no one, not even his girlfriend, when he started taking acting lessons at age 17. If you were a kid from the neighborhood, you became a cop, construction worker, longshoreman or criminal. Not an actor.
Moresco struggled to make that long walk a few blocks east. He studied acting, turned out for all the cattle calls -- and during the decade of the 1970s made a total of $2,000. "I wasn't a good actor, but I had a driving need to do something different with my life," he says.
He moved to Hollywood, where he drove a cab and worked as a bartender. "My father said, 'Stop this craziness and get a job; you have a wife and daughter.' “But Moresco kept working at his chosen craft.
Then in 1983 his younger brother Thomas was murdered in a mob-linked killing. Moresco moved back to his old neighborhood and started writing as a way to explore the pain and the patrimony of Hell's Kitchen. Half-Deserted Streets, based on his brother's killing, opened at a small Off-Broadway theater in 1988. A Hollywood producer saw it and asked him to work on a screenplay.
His reputation grew, and he got enough assignments to move back to Hollywood. By 2003, he was again out of work and out of cash when he got a call from Paul Haggis, a director who had befriended him. Haggis wanted help writing a film about the country after September 11. The two worked on the writing, but every studio in town turned it down. They kept pitching it. Studio executives, however, thought no one wanted to see a severe, honest vision of race and fear and lives in collision in modern America.
Moresco believed so strongly in the script that he borrowed money, sold his house. He and Haggis kept pushing. At last the writers found an independent film producer who would take a chance, but the upfront money was too little, Moresco delayed his salary.
Crash slipped into the theaters in May 2005, and quietly became both a hit and a critical success. It was nominated for six Academy Awards and won three -- Best Picture, Best Film Editing and Best Writing (Original Screenplay) by Paul Haggis and the kid from Hell's Kitchen.
At age 54, Bobby Moresco became an overnight success. "If you have something you want to do in life, don't think about the problems," he says, "think about other ways to get it done."
【小題1】 Rearrange the following statements in terms of time order:
a. His work Half-Deserted Streets drew attention as it opened at a small Off-Broadway theater
b. Unexpectedly Crash became both a hit and a huge success.
c. He moved to Hollywood to be a taxi driver and a waiter.
d. He started learn acting in spite of hardness with the belief of doing something diiferent.
e. His younger brother Thomas was killed in conflict among bullies.

A．d; c; e; a; bB．d; e; c; b; aC．c; d; e; a; bD．c; e; d; b; a
【小題2】Why Bobby Moresco did not tell anyone that he started taking lessons at age 17?
A．He wnted to give his girlfriend a surprise.
B．His girlfriend did not allow him to do this.
C．He was afraid of being laughed at.
D．He had no talent for acting.
【小題3】Which of the following sentences is NOT true?
A．His father did not support his work as a bartender.
B．Before he became an overnight success, his life experienced ups and downs.
C．His brother’s death inspired his writing Half-Deserted Streets.
D．Moresco grew up in New York's Hell's Kitchen which is a few blocks east of Broadway.
【小題4】The Studio executives turned the script Crash down because ______________.
A．they thought the script would not be popular.
B．the script was not well written.
C．they had no money to make the film based on the script.
D．they thought Moresco was not famous.
【小題5】What’s the best title of the article?
A．The Road to SuccessB．Try It a Different Way
C．A Talented man—MorescoD．Moresco’s Perseverance
【小題6】Which of the following can best describe Bobby Moresco?

務(wù)型閱讀（共10小題；每小題1分，滿分10分）

請(qǐng)認(rèn)真閱讀下列短文，并根據(jù)所讀內(nèi)容在文章后面的表格中填入最恰當(dāng)?shù)膯卧~。

注意：每空格只填一個(gè)單詞。

We always believe life will be better after we get married, have a baby, then another then still another. Then we think the kids aren’t old enough and we’ll be more content when they are. After that we think we have teenagers to deal with. We will certainly be happy when they are out of that stage.

We always tell ourselves our life will be complete when we get a nice car, and are able to go on a nice vacation when we retire. The truth is that there’s no better time than right now. If not now, when? Our life will always be filled with challenges. It’s best to admit this to ourselves and try to be happy from now on.

One of my favorite quotes（引語）comes from Alfred Souza. He said, “For a long time it seemed to me real life was about to begin. But there were always some difficulties in the way, something to be got through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it was clear to me that these difficulties were my life.”

This view has helped me to see that there is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way. So treasure every moment that you have.

And remember time waits for no one. So stop waiting until you finish school; until you get married; until you have kids; until you retire; until you get a new car; until spring.

Happiness is a journey, not a destination. So, work like you don’t need money, love like you’ve never been hurt. And dance like no one’s watching.

Try to do what you like and enjoy what you can enjoy at present or you will feel regretful when you are too old to do anything.

Movie makers at one time worried that they might be put out of business by television. Recently, however, more and more people have been going to the movies. This may be partly because the economic situation in America has worsened. When at the movies, people forget their troubles, as they get involved in the story on the screen. Also, directors have recently been producing pictures that large numbers of people want to see.

Americans in the millions are returning to their love affair with the movies. Motion picture industry experts see two main factors responsible for this: an increased need by Americans to escape from economic worries and a large number of new movies with broad audience appeal.

Movie makers admit that their rising popularity is partly the result of poor economic conditions, which traditionally bring an increase in theater attendance. “When people are fearful about the future, they look for escape,” comments Jack Valenti, president of the Motion Picture Association of America. “In a shaded theater, with a 65-foot screen, you lose yourself for two and a half hours and people find this beneficial.”

1.What did movie makers worry about before?

   A. That people preferred watching TV to seeing films.

   B. That movies couldn’t be a business any more.

   C. That their movies might be played on television.

   D. That no one would go to the cinema.

2.Why are so many people going to see movies now?

   A. Because people now have much more money.

   B. Because people wanted to escape from real life.

   C. Because people have troubles.

   D. Because watching movies is now much cheaper than watching TV.

3.What does the underlined word “worsened” mean in the first paragraph?

A. become attractive   B. become amazing

C. become bad        D. become popular

4.The main topic of American movies is about          .

   A. economy          B. love             C. tradition        D. not mentioned
