__________ There are more households living in actual poverty than there are household
s below the poverty line.

While the poverty line is updated for inflation every year, the basket of goods used to determine what constitutes being deprived of a socially acceptable minimum standard of living has not been updated since 1955.

A.The issue of understating poverty is especially pressing in the states with both a high cost and a high poverty rate such as California.

B.The poverty line lost all connection over time with current consumption patterns of the average family.

C.Many sociologists and government officials have argued that poverty in the US is understated.

D.The official poverty line today is essentially what it takes in today's dollars to purchase the same poverty-line level of living half a century ago.

第7题

In writing assignments in English classes my students frequently raise the topic of f
riendship. Reading what they write, I start to understand Chinese friendship obligations. Chinese can usually expect more from their friends than Americans can. For instance, once a student wrote that she understood that her friend wanted to go shopping. My student was busy and really had no time to do that, but she kept silent, put her work aside and went shopping with her friend. This is quite different from what American young people would say about friendship. In the U.S. you feel free to ask your friend for help, but you recognize that the friend may say no, if they give you a reason. A friend in China is someone who, sensing that you are in need in some way, offers to assist you without waiting to be asked. In China there are few limits on what you can ask or expect of a friend.

Another difference is that Chinese expect friendships to be more lasting. They think a true friendship is a relationship that endures through changes in the lives of the friends. In the U.S. a person is likely to change even “best friends” several times over the years. Even the relationship in which people feel close emotionally and tell each other their secrets and personal problems may not survive life changes such as a move to another city, graduation from university, a significant change in economic circumstances, or the marriage of one of the friends. I think the reason is that friendship, like so many other relationships in the U.S. including marriage, depends on frequent interaction with the other person. If the people involved do not see each other and inter act regularly, the relationship is likely to fade and die.

(1)What may an American girl do if she is busy when her friend asks her to go shopping?

A、She may keep silent.

B、She may put her work aside and go shopping with her friend.

C、She may say no, giving reasons.

D、she may help you without waiting to be asked.

(2)Which of the following statements is true?

A、Chinese people don't feel free to ask their friends for help.

B、Chinese people always try to help their friends without being asked.

C、Americans wouldn't offer help when you ask.

D、Americans always say no to their friends.

(3)Which of the following sayings can properly describe Chinese friendship?

A、A friend in need is a friend indeed.

B、Love me, love my dog.

C、Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.

D、None of the above.

(4)According to the passage, why are Americans likely to change their friends several times over the years?

A、Because this is their nature.

B、Because they don't have best friends all through their lives.

C、Because American friendship depends on frequent interaction with the other person.

D、Because American friendship is to fade and die.

(5)What is the most proper title for this passage?

A、Chinese Friendship

B、American Friendship

C、Friendship

D、Friendship in China and America

Add Littleton,Colorado,to the list of cities dazed with grief after a school slaughter.Two students

shot and killed 12 other students and a teacher before taking their own lives.The massacre was the largest in the history of this nation.This type of crime didn't exist 10 years ago.

Americans should stop acting surprised that these shooting happen in "nicer" neighborhoods.That's the only place they happen.None of the recent school massacres took place at an inner-city campus; they all occurred in smaller towns or suburbs.These killers haven't been from impoverished or extremely violent families.They don't appear to have been picked on(挨骂受罚) any worse than kids have been for generations.They chose alienation and destruction,and they found the tools to carry out their hate-filled plan.

Do not blame schools for these massacres.Schools simply take what they are sent.Question the killers' parents.The parents are supposed to teach their children respect and empathy for others' lives.Parents should help their offspring learn to handle taunt or conflict without resorting to violence.

All concerned adults should take a youth's threat to shoot someone as seriously as airport security guards take jokes about bombs.Students must be encouraged to tell teachers if a classmate threatens or jokes about violence.Administrators at schools around the country need to emphasize they will take such reports seriously,and that they will not identify any student who comes forward with such a report.

More gun regulations probably won't stop these shootings,but gun owners and sellers must take more responsibility for keeping weapons away from young people.Gun owners should keep their guns unloaded,locked up and hidden away.Most car owners don't leave their keys in the car even when they park in their own garage; gun owners should be at least as careful with weapons.

The federal government can't solve this problem.Schools alone can't solve it.More guns won't solve it.Americans must consciously create a culture that makes violence unacceptable.Parents need to stop allowing their children's minds to be polluted with violence.News media need to show more restraint and thought about how and what they report.

The Colorado massacre is a national tragedy.More's the pity if Americans do not stop,reflect and vow to make it the last school massacre.

1.One common feature of all the recent school massacres is that ______.

A) they have all been carefully planned by hateful youngsters

B) the killers have all failed to passed their exams

C) they all occur in places that appear to be all right

D) the killers are all from disadvantaged families

2.Children are less likely to become killers if ______.

A) their parents succeed in teaching them respect and empathy for others' lives

B) they study hard in school and get high scores

C) teachers stop telling meaningless jokes in class

D) they follow the rules set by administrators at schools around the country

3.Who does the author think should take the main responsibility for campus shootings

A) School authorities.

B) The federal government.

C) News media.

D) The killers' parents.

4.What is the most effective way to prevent school massacre from happening again

A) Reinforcing stricter laws and regulations.

B) Introducing security guards onto campus.

C) Creating a culture that makes violence unacceptable.

D) Keeping weapons away from young people.

5.From the passage we can infer that ______.

A) there were a lot of school massacres in inner-cities 10 years ago

B) many people turn a blind eye to school massacre

C) a youth's joke about violence is often ignored by other people

D) most gun owners like to leave their guns in their cars

194. Generations of Americans have been brought up to believe that a good breakfast is one of life’s essentials. Eating breakfasts at the start of the day, we have all been told, and told again, is as necessary as putting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip. But for many people the thought of food first thing in the morning is by no means a pleasure. So despite all the efforts, they still take no breakfast. Between 1977 and 1983, the latest year for which figures are available, the number of people who didn’t have breakfast increased by 33 percent from 8.8 million to 11.7 million—according to the Chicago-based Market Research Corporation of America. For those who feel pain of guilt about not eating breakfast, however, there is some good news. Several studies in the last few years indicate that, for adults especially, there may be nothing wrong with omitting breakfast. “Going without breakfast does not affect performance,” said Amold Bender, former professor of nutrition at Queen College in London, “nor does giving people breakfast improve performance.” Scientific evidence linking breakfast to better health or better performance is surprisingly inadequate, and most of the recent work involves children, not adults. “The literature,” says one researcher, Dr. Emesto Polite at the University of Texas, “is poor.” [共5题]

Another virtue Americans respect is perseverance. Remember Aesop’s fableabout the tur
tle and the rabbit that had a race? The rabbit thought he could win easily, so he took a nap. But the turtle finally won because he did not give up. Another story tells of a little train that had to climb a steep hill. The hill was so steep that the little train had a hard time trying to get over it. But the train just kept pulling, all the while saying, I think I can, I think I can. Atlast, the train was over the top of the hill. I thought I could, I thought I could, chugged the happy little train. Compassion may be the queen of American virtues. The story of ―The Good Samaritan from the Bible describes a man who showed compassion. On his way to a certain city, a Samaritan man found a poor traveler lying on the road.

The traveler had been beaten and robbed. The kind Samaritan, instead of just passing by, stopped to help this person in need. Compassion can even turn into a positive cycle. In fall 1992, people in Iowa sent truckloads of water to help Floridians hit by a hurricane. The next summer, during the Midwest flooding,

Florida returned the favor. In less dramatic ways, millions of Americans are quietly passing along the kindnesses shown to them.

Great moral stories can build character. The success of The Book of Virtues in 1993 shows that many Americans still believe in moral values. Moral values are invaluable.

A、I think I can.

B、it doesn’t matter if we are slow.

C、never to give up.

D、to experience a hard time.

(2)According to the author, compassion may be the queen of American virtues because ________.

A、it is the virtue Americans respect most

B、it is as noble as a queen

C、it is from the Bible

D、it is showed by the the Good Samaritan

(3)What’s the author's purpose of telling the story of Florida's hurricane?

A、To show how people help each other in America.

B、To show how Floridians suffered from the hurricane seriously.

C、To give an example of compassion.

D、To show water is in great need for Floridians hit by hurricane.

(4)According to the passage, which of the follo wing is TRUE?

A、Florida helped the Midwest because the Midwest helped it before.

B、Compassion could hardly be a positive cycle.

C、Florida was grateful to what Iowa had done.

D、Most Americans pay no attention to the kindnesses shown to them.

"How was your weekend?" This question comes up at workplaces all over the United States ev

"How was your weekend?"

This question comes up at workplaces all over the United States every Monday morning as people greet each other. It is another way of saying, "How did you spend your leisure time?"

In the Unites States the way people spend their leisure time is an important part of their identity. Perhaps everybody does nearly the same thing all day in the office or the factory, but leisure time is what makes people distinct and reveals who they are.

For many people, leisure time means going somewhere -- to a museum, a concert, a restaurant, or a baseball game. Or it means doing something such as playing volleyball, backpacking, swimming, singing in a chorus (合唱), or playing in a park with their children. For other people, free time means staying home with wonderful sources of entertainment, such as VCR, stereo or cable TV with dozens of channels. Others pursue creative activities such as cooking, gardening, and home improvement. The latest stay-at, home activity is "surfing (冲浪) the net" -- that is, looking for information and entertainment on the Internet.

In the United States, leisure time is big business. Enormous amounts of money are spent by competing enterprises that make and sell the goods and services that people use in their free time. In fact, shopping itself is an important leisure time activity. Spending a day at a giant mall has become, for some people, as interesting as spending the day at museum or amusement park.

People in the United States are ultimately not much different from others in what they do in their leisure time. The real difference may lie in the energy, time, money, and sheer enthusiasm that they devote to it.

Why do Americans often greet each other by asking "How did you spend your leisure time?"

A.Because they are interested in the different pastime activities.

B.Because leisure time is what makes people different from each other.

C.Because they are bored with the job they have done for the whole week.

D.Because everybody does the same thing all day long.
