Once upon a time there was a wise man that used t o go t o the ocean t o do his writing.He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work.

1/7

One day he was walking along the shore.As he looked down the beach,he saw a human figure moving like a dancer.He smiled t o himself at the thought of someone

who would dance on the beach.So h e began t o walk faster t o catch up.

As he got closer,he saw that it was a young man and the young man wasn't dancing,but instead he was reaching down t o the shore,picking up something and very gently throwing it into the ocean.

As he got closer h e called out,"Good morning!What are you doing?"

The young man paused,looking up and replied,"Throwing starfish(海星)in the ocean."

"I guess I should have asked,why are you throwing starfish into the ocean?"

"The sun is up and the tide is going out.And if I don't throw them in they'll die."

"But,young man,don't you realize that there are miles and miles of beach and starfish all along it.Y ou can't possibly mak e a difference!"

The young man listened politely.Then he be nt down,picked another starfish and threw it into the ocean,past the breaking waves and said,"It made a difference for that one."

There is something very special in each and every one of us.All of us have a natural ability t o mak e a difference.If we can become aware of that ability,we will

get thr ough the strength of our images the power t o shape the future.

All of us must find our starfish.If we throw our starfish wisely and well,the world will be wonderful.

P assage Three:

In the United States,ab out750,000persons have suffered AIDS.More than one half of them have died.

But doctors say evidence also shows there is no reason for persons t o become terrified(惊吓)by the disease.The AIDS virus is spr ead during sex with an infected partner,or by infected blood.But doctors say their studies show the disease is n ot spr ead thr ough normal,close social activities.

A study by one research team was printed in the New England Journal(杂志)of Medicine.The doctors studied on e-hundr ed-one family mem be rs who lived with AIDS and lived in cr owded conditions.The family memb ers shared many personal goods with the patients.These included toothbrushes,drinking glasses,beds,towels and toilets.

Doctors said only one family member—a five-year-old girl—got the AIDS virus.They note,however,that the girl's mother had the disease.They believe the girl probably was born with the virus.No other family member in the study got the AIDS virus or showed any signs of the disease.

The head of the study,Gerald Friedland,said if the disease is not easily spr ead in cr owded homes,it also will not spr ead easily in factories,offices,schools and other public places.Doctor Friedland said the study also shows there is no reason t o punish

AIDS patients and t o force them t o live separately from other persons.

American health officials recently warned,however,that some health care workers should take special care.The report noted the AIDS virus is carried in blood

and other body fluids.It said health care workers should put protective(保护性的) covers over their eyes and skin during medical operations,dental(牙科的)work,or other times when the patient may bleed.

In the United States,most AIDS patients are homosexual(同性恋的)men, people taking drugs who used infected needles(针头),and persons who received infected blood.More recent studies show the AIDS virus also can be spr ead during heterosexual(异性的)relations.It can spr ead either from the man t o the woman,or

from the w om an t o the man.

11Doctors say there is no reason for people t o be frightened abo ut AIDS because _______.

A)it is not deadly

B)few people are infected with AIDS

C)the AIDS virus is n ot spr ead in everyday social activities.

D)the AIDS virus is n ot spr ead during sex

12The study of101family me mbe rs who lived with AIDS patients shows that ________.

A)the AIDS is no t spr ead by personal goods

B)women are mo r e likely t o get the AIDS virus than men

C)married men are less likely t o get AIDS than unmarried ones

D)the AIDS virus is p assed by drinking glasses

13According t o Doctor Friedland,there is no reason t o_______.

A)st op meeting AIDS patients

B)st op living with AIDS patients

C)fear that AIDS can be p assed from a mother t o a b aby

D)fear that the AIDS virus can be p assed during sex

14Health workers were warned t o take special care when the patient bleeds because _______.

A)AIDS can be p assed by touching the patient's body

B)AIDS can be spr ead by touching the patient's skin

C)AIDS virus can be carried in blood or other body fluids

D)the health care workers may be infected by the blood

3/715_______are least likely t o be infected with the AIDS disease.

A)P eople who use drugs

B)P ersons who offer infected blood t o others

C)Men who are gay

D)Married men

Passage Four:

Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it’s painful?This might be called laziness,bu t Dr.Kleitman has a new explanaton.He has pr oved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.

During the hours when you labor thr ough your work you may say that you’re“hot”. That’s true.The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperatur e is at its peak.For some people the peak comes during the forenoon.For others it comes in the afternoon or evening.No one has discovered why this is so,but it leads t o such familiar monologues(自言自语)as:“Get up,John!Y ou’ll be late for work again!”The possible explaination t o the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening.Much family quarrelling ends when husb ands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean,and which cycle each member of the family has.

Y ou can’t change your energy cycle,but you can learn t o mak e your life fit it better.Habit can help.Dr.Kleitman believes.Maybe your’re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway.Counteract(对抗)your cycle t o some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to.If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job t o do early in the day,rise before your usual hour.This wont change your cycle,but you’ll get up steam(鼓足干劲)and work better at your low point.

Get off t o a slow start which saves your energy.Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch.Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor.Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible,do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring mo r e energy of concentration for your sharper hours.

16.If a person finds gettings up early a problem,most probably_________.

A)he is a lazy person

B)h e refuses t o follow his own energy cycle

C)he is not sure when his energy is low

D)he is at his peak in the afternoon or evening

’ ’

17. Which of the following may lead t o family quarrels according t o the passage?

A) Unawareness of energy cycles. B) Family monologues.

C) A change in the family member ’s energy cycle.

D) Attempts t o control the energy cycle of other family members.

18. If one wants to work m or e efficiently at his low point in the morning, he should

______.

A) change his energy cycle B) overcome his laziness C) get up earlier than usual D) go t o bed earlier 19. Y ou are advised t o rise with a yawn and stretch because it will _________.

A) help t o k eep your energy for the day ’s work B) help you t o control your t emper early in the day C) enable you t o concentrate on your routine work D) k eep your energy cycle under control all day 20. Which of the following statements is N OT TRUE ?

A) Getting off t o work with a minimum effort helps save one ’s energy .

B) Dr. Kleitman explains why people reach their peaks at different hours of day . C) Habit helped a person adapt t o his own energy cycle. D) Children have energy cycles, too.

Dolly Parton

Dolly P arton was the fourth of twelve children. She was born in a small house

near the Little Pigeon River near the tiny town of Locust Ridge, T ennessee. Dolly Rebecca P arton came into the world on January 19th 1946, and because her family was very poor , the doctor who delivered her , Robert F. Thomas, was paid with a sack of corn. Of course, the doctor did no t know that Dolly would write a son g abo ut him, or that she would become not only a beautiful woman, a multi-millionaire, and a Hollywood star , b ut perhaps the mo st famous female country singer of all time.

How did Dolly ge t from Locust Ridge t o Hollywood? It was a result of her

natural ability and strong determination. A family member remembers “She began

singing just about the same time she began talking.” She made her first guitar from an old mandolin and two extra guitar strings. Even before she went t o school, Dolly made up songs and stories and asked her mother t o write them down so she could r emember them.

She beca me a local star at age ten, appearing on a TV show in Knoxville,

T ennessee. In 1957, she took a long-distance bus t o Lake Charles, Louisiana, where she made her first record, “Puppy Love.” A year later, she made her first public appearance at Nashville’s country music hall, but not as a singer: she played the drums with the Sevier High School Marching Band.

Dolly loved Nashville! However , she was still in high school, so she coul dn’t go

there often. She had t o work long and hard before graduating in 1964. The day after the graduation ceremony, she fulfilled her first big dream: “I graduated from high

school on a Friday night and left early on Saturday morning for Nashville.” Her u ncle, country star Buck Owens, gave her a place t o stay, and on the Saturday she arrived she took a bundle of dirty clothes t o the local laundry . There she met Carl Dean, a

carpenter . Two years later they were married in Georgia. They are still married today .

Dolly began recording mo r e songs, but none of them beca me popular . Success

finally came to her as a songwriter when another singer recorded “Put it Off till

Tomorrow,” and it was a hit. Dolly was a fresh and original songwriter, and could find new ways t o talk a bo ut familiar stories. She sang with a clear , strong, sweet voice.

This helped her become popular with people who usually didn’t enjoy country music. She also b eca me popular internationally .

In 1967, she began t o write lots of popular songs. She appear ed on television

shows, and received prizes for her music, all very quickly. Her looks, personality and sense of humor , made her a natural for the movies. In 1980, she appear e d in her first movie “Nine to Five,” playing a secretary. Dolly wrote and sang the film’s theme song, and it was the mo st popular s ong of 1981.

Dolly P arton now owns Dollywood, a large theme park near her hometown; she

also bought the local radio station and mov ed it t o Dollywood. She also began a

pr ogram that promises a college scholarship t o every student who graduates from the high schools in her home county .

It’s clear why Dolly is still popular after all these years.

_____ 66. Dolly Parton’s parents were so poor that all they had was a sack of corn in the house.

Of course, the doctor did n ot know that Dolly would write a song ab o ut him, _____67Dolly P arton wrote a song t o the doctor who delivered her .

_____68 She went t o Lake Charles, Louisiana, where she made her first TV show . _____69 One reason for Dolly Parton’s succes s was that she was a very determined person.

_____70 She played the guitar and drums.

_____71 Making the record “ Puppy Love” was her first dream.

_____72 Church Music played an important role in the development of Dolly Parton’s musical talent.

_____73 Dolly first be came famous as a songwriter for writing lots of popular songs. _____74 The expression “ it was a hit” (Line 3, Para 5) means that it was very popular and successful.

6 / 7

_____75one reason why Dolly P arton is still popular is that she supports a pr ogram

that gives every high school graduate from her home county a college scholarship.
