These colourful and sweet jewels from British Columbia’s fields are little powerhouses of nutritional protection.Of the common berries, strawberries are highest in vitamin C, although, because of their seeds, raspberries contain a little more protein(蛋白质).iron and zine(not that fruits have much protein).Blueberries are particularly high in antioxidants (抗氧化物质).The yellow and orange stone fruits such as peaches are high in the carotenoids we turn into vitamin A and which are antioxidants.As for cherries(樱桃),they are so delicious who cares? However they are rich in vitamin C .When combined with berries or slices of other fruits,frozen bananas make an excellent base for thick, cooling fruit shakes and low fat “ice cream". For this purpose, select ripe bananas for freezing as they are much sweeter. Remove the skin and place them in plastic bags or containers and freeze.If you like, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice on the bananas will prevent them turning brown. Frozen bananas will last several weeks, depending on their ripeness. and the temperature of the freezer.If you have a juicer, you can simply feed in frozen bananas and some berries or sliced fruit. Out comes a “soft-serve” creamy dessert, to be eaten r ight away. This makes a fun activity for a children's party; they love feeding the fruit and frozen bananas into the top of the machine and watching the ice cream come out below.24.What does the author seem to like about cherries?A .They contain protein. B.They are high in vitamin AC.They have a pleasant taste.D. They are rich in antioxidants25. Why is fresh lemon juice used in freezing bananas?.A. To make them smell better.B. To keep their colour.C. To speed up their ripening.D. To improve their nutrition26. What is “a juicer” in the last paragraph?A.A dessertB. A drink.C.A container.D. A machine.27. From which is the text probably taken?A .A biology textbook. B. A health magazine.C.A research paper.D. A travel brochure.CTeens and younger children are reading a lot less for fun, according to a Common Sense Media report published Monday.While the decline over the past decade is steep for teen readers, some data in the report shows that reading remains a big part of many children's lives, and indicates how parents might help encourage more reading.According to the report's key findings, “the proportion (比例) who say they ‘hardly ever’ read for fun has gone from 8 percent of 13-year-olds and 9 percent of 17-year-olds in 1984 to 22 percent and 27 percent respectively today."The report date shows that pleasure reading levels for younger children,ages2-8, remain largely the same. But the amount of time spent in reading each session has declined, from closer to an hour or more to closer to a half hour per session.When it comes to technology and reading, the report does little to counsel(建议)parents looking for data about the effect of e-readers and tablets on reading. It does point out that many parents still limit electronic reading, mainly due to concerns about increased screen time.The most hopeful data shared in the report shows clear evidence of parents serving as examples and important guides for their kids when it comes to reading.Data shows that kids and teens who do read frequently, compared to infrequent readers ,have more books in the home,more books purchased for them,parents who read more often,and parents who set aside time for them to read.As the end of school approaches,and school vacation reading list loom(逼近)ahead, parents might take this chance to step in and make their o wn summer reading list and plana family trip to the library or bookstore.28.What is the Common Sense Media report probably about?A.Children's reading habits.B.Quality of children's books.C.Children's after-class activitiesD.Parent-child relationships.29.Where can you find the data that best supports“children are reading a lot less forfun ”?A.In paragraph2B.In paragraph3C.In paragraph4D.In paragraph530. Why do many parents limit electronic reading?A.E-books are of poor quality.B.It could be a waste of time.C.It may harm children 's health.D.E-readers are expensive.31. How should parents encourage their children to read more?A.Act as role models for them.B.Ask them to write book reportsC.Set up reading groups for them.D.Talk with reading class teachers.DWe're all been there in a lift, in line at the bank or on an airplane,surrounded by people who are,like us,deeply focused on their smartphonesor,worse,struggling with the uncomfortable silence.What's the problem? It's possible that we all have compromised conversational intelligence.It's more likely that none of us start a conversation because it's awkward and challenging or we think it's annoying and unnecessary.But the next time you find yourself among strangers,consider that small talk is worth the trouble.Experts say it's an invaluable social practice that results in big benefits.Dismissing small talk as unimportant is easy, but we can't forget that deep relationships wouldn't even exist if it weren't for casual conversation.Small talk is the grease(润滑剂)for social communication, says Bernardo Carducci, director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Southeast."Almost every great love story and each big business deal begins with small talk,”he explains .“The key to successful small talk is learning how to connect with others, not just communicate with them."In a 2014 study, Elizabeth Dunn,associate professor of psychology at UBC, invited people on their way into a coffee shop. One group was asked to seek out an interaction(互动)with its waiter ；the other,to speak only when necessary. The results showed that those who chatted with their server reported significantly higher positive feeling and a better coffee shop experience. "It's not that talking to the waiter is better than talking to your husband" says Dunn.“But interactions with peripheral (边缘的) members of our social network matter for our well-being also."Dunn believes that people who reach out to strangers feel a significantly greater sense of belonging, a bond with others. Carducci believes developing such a sense of belonging starts with small talk. "Small talk is the basis of good manners," he says.32. What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph?A. Addiction to smartphones.B. Inappropriate behaviours in public places.C. Absence of communication between strangers.D. Impatience with slow service.33. What is important for successful small talk according to Carducci?A. Showing good manners.B. Relating to other people.C. Focusing on a topic.D. Making business deals.34. What does the coffee shop study suggest about small talk?A. It improves family relationships.B. It raises people's confidence.C. It matters as much as a formal talkD. It makes people feel good.35. What is the best tile for the text?A. Conversation CountsB. Ways of Making Small TalkC. Benefits of Small TalkD. Uncomfortable Silence第二节(共5小题:每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容从短文的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

With the help of an energetic parrot owner, a parrot can develop an enormous vocabulary. In addition, a parrot can be trained to say “Pretty boy” or “Polly wants a cracker,” and it also can learn to whistle or sing. No matter what an owner decides to teach a bird, training a parrot takes much patience, but the reward is a stream of chatter. Another reason for the parrot’s popularit y is that this pet does not require much care. For example, even a spoiled parrot does not need a housesitter for the purpose of daily walks and daily feeding. In fact, a parrot owner may leave his or her pet with enough food for five daysand have no fear that the parrot will overeat.Still another advantage of owning a parrot is its inexpensive food, including seeds, nuts, corn, and grain—along with an apple, banana, or carrot. Perhaps the most likely reason the parrot is becoming such a well-liked pet is that it is a combination of tameness and wildness. Because the parrot can live in almost any environment, it makes a fine, tame companion for many people. In addition, because it can be easily trained, it is a delightful performer. At the same time, its colorful feathers give it an air of the mystery of the parrot’s native home, the jungle. Thus, the parrot, once a highly valued gift presented to kings and noble families, is now appreciated by a growing number of people.26. A parrot can be trained to do all the following but______________.A. talk.B. help its owner.C. sing.D. create a lively atmosphere.27. Which of the following is not a reason for the easy raising of the parrot?A. It eats very little.B. Its food is inexpensive.C. It does not need a housesitter.D. It does not require daily walks as dogs do.28. The word “tameness” in the passage means______________.A. the quality of being brave or unafraid.B. the quality of being kind or warm-hearted.C. the quality of being uncontrolled or fierce.D. the quality of being gentle or trained.29. The word “jungle” probably means______________.A. boundless desert with very little plant life.B. large apartment building with pleasing surroundings.C. wild land overgrown with thick bushes and trees.D. snow-covered mountain top in very cold areas.30. The writer______________.A. likes the parrot.B. dislikes the parrot.C. does not like nor dislike the parrot.D. values the parrot highly.Passage 3Because college is so expensive, I know I will have to major in a practical field that can give me a secure life. That will be probably something in science or business. But while I am here, I want to study the violin as well.I have played th e violin since I was in sixth grade, but I didn’t always love it. In the beginning, it was my parents’ idea for me to learn the violin. First, they bought me the violin, which automatically made me feel obliged to play it. After all, they had invested several hundred dollars in it. My mother, who had been a pianist before she married my father, required me to practice an hour each day. I hated this; I would hear my friends playing outside as I played a few notes, then stare sadly at the little clock on my bedroom dresser. Why wouldn’t the hands move faster? I remember one time I came up with the idea of moving the hands forward about fifteen minutes. I knew my mother would know it hadn’t been an hour, but I thought I could say, “But my clock said 4:00 when I went into my room and now it says 5:00.” Fortunately, she never asked me why I had stopped early. Maybe she was relieved after having had to listen to my screeches on the violin.My attitude changed when I finally became good enough to play some of the classical composers. Suddenly it became very important for me to get it right. I no longer heard what was going on outside with my playmates while I practiced. I was lost in the music. I would repeat the same bars again and again, sometimes just for the pleasure of hearing the notes trickle like running water or jump like crickets. Sometimes, I gave myself goose-bumps.I even began listening to the classical radio stations and recognizing theviolin pieces.My high school orchestra instructor noticed the change in me too. One day, he asked me to stop by his desk after class.“You wanted to talk to me?” I said nervously.“Sophia, yes,” said Mr. Cooke. He reached into a file on his desk and pulled out some sheet music. “Our next performance incl udes a violin solo. Do you think you could learn to play this over the next couple of weeks?”“Me?” I squeaked. “You want me to do a solo?” I felt like saying, are you sure you’re not confusing me with another Sophia who plays the violin?“Yes, you,” he laughed. “I noticed you’ve been putting a lot of passion into your playing. This piece needs that kind of passion.”Of course, I learned it and performed it and received a lot of praise for my performance. But what Mr. Cooke had said about passion made me realize that I was entering a whole new level of music study. A musician can play an instrument with technical correctness, but passion brings the music to life, makes it carry messages to people who don’t even speak the same language.I want to continue developing my technical abilities in music and find ways to develop my passion and put it into my music. That’s why I plan to continue studying music at college and hope to join the college orchestra. My career will probably belong to science, business, or technology. But my soul belongs to music.31. How did the girl feel after she moved the hands of the clock forward?A. She felt guilty for it because her parents had invested a lot for her violin and the learning of it.B. She felt sure that her mother wouldn’t criticize her because the screeches on the violin had been a torture to her mother.C. She felt worried before her mother walked in because she couldn’tfind good excuses for it.D. She felt happy secretly because she was not interested in the violin and that could shorten her practicing time greatly.32. Which of the following statements is NOT a true description of the author after she became interested in the violin?A. She no longer envied the playmates that played outside when she was practicing.B. She would repeat practicing the same bars to enjoy the pleasure of music.C. She challenged herself to play only some classical composers.D. She would find ways to test her technical skills.33. What’s the author’s reaction when she was asked to play a violin solo?A. She felt disappointed because she preferred teamwork with her group members.B. She felt nervous because she was unconfident with her playing skill.C. She felt pleasantly surprised and at first wondered whether she was mistaken for another girl with the same name.D. She felt too excited to express herself well.34. Which element has made the author’s play special?A. Technical correctness.B. Passion for music.C. Diligent practice.D. The guidance of a famous teacher.35. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Music will always be the author’s favorite no matter what she will choose as a profession in future.B. The author is an obedient girl because she would still insist practicing even though she was not interested in the violin from the very beginning.C. The girl began to love the violin after others’ praises for her performance made her feel a great sense of achievement.D. The girl believes that to do something in science or business will ensure herself a more secure material life.Passage 4Modern dream theorists have suggested that we can understand and use our dreams because for the most part they are extensions of the situations we face when awake. Our dreams are not hiding from us: they are there for us to explore and use in solving our problems.If we learn to think about our dreams comfortably, we will be able to discard those that seem totally irrelevant to our lives. On the other hand, we will be able to explore those that fascinate us and those that seem to be connected with the ways we think and act when we are awake. Or we might use our dreams to expose problems that we have refused to accept consciously, and this might lead us to take positive action and solve them. Thinking about our dreams might also help us understand that we are sometimes aggressive, angry or afraid, although we may have tried to ignore these feelings and pretended that they do not exist within us. If we admit that we do have such emotions, we may be able to accept, control and channel them.Most people do not realize, during the actual dream, that they are dreaming. They are totally at the mercy of their unconscious thoughts, and they are unable to stop or change the course of their dreams. There are a few people, however, who can manipulate their dreams. These unusual people have a creative and psychological advantage. They can write a poem, find a mathematical solution, or discover the answer to the problems of the universe in their dreams, and then wake themselves up immediately while the memory of their dreams is vivid and precise. Some people can even extend their dreams. They can force their unconscious minds to work on a problem until it is solved or prolong a happy dream further into the night.Dreams are pictures of our unconscious minds. We can analyze them to probe our thoughts and emotions. We can use them creatively for artistic expression and solving problems, or we can simply enjoy them as provocative adventures. In any case, they should be seen, heard, and welcomed into our conscious world.36. What does the underlined word “aggressive” in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Scary.B. Negative.C. Eager to fight.D. Active.37. If we learn to think about our dreams comfortably, we may _______________.A. make judgment on what we do in reality.B. be able to accept and control our unpleasant hidden emotions.C. find an outlet for pressure caused by practical problems.D. be fascinated by the ways we act to deal with things in dreams.38. Which of the following statement is NOT correct according to the passage?A. Most people dream unconsciously.B. It is easy to manipulate one’s dream.C. Dreams reflect what we face when awake.D. We can use dreams for artistic creation.39. Which of the following statements is NOT mentioned about what only a few unusual people can do?A. The unusual people can stop and change the course of their dreams.B. They can wake themselves up when necessary.C. They can make themselves solve certain problems in dream.D. They can use their dreams to predict the future.40. Which of the following is the most suitable title for the passage?A. How to manipulate your dreams?B. How to understand your dreams?C. Your dreams don’t lie.D. Is dream conscious?Part III. Translation (20%)Directions: Translate the following sentences into English or Chinese.

Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. (40 points)Text 1It is curious that Stephen Koziatek feels almost as though he has to justify his efforts to give his students a better future.Mr. Koziatek is part of something pioneering. He is a teacher at a New Hampshire high school where learning is not something of books and tests and mechanical memorization,but practical. When did it become accepted wisdom that students should be able to name the 13th president of the United States but be utterly overwhelmed by a broken bike chain?As Koziatek knows, there is learning in just about everything. Nothing is necessarily gained by forcing students to learn geometry at a graffitied desk stuck with generations of discarded chewing gum. They can also learn geometry by assembling a bicycle.But he’s also found a kind of insidious prejudice. Workingwith your hands is seen as almost a mark of inferiority. Schoolsin the family of vocational education “have thatstereotype...that it’s for kids who can’t make it academically,”he says.On one hand, that viewpoint is a logical product of America’s evolution. Manufacturing is not the economic engine that itonce was. The job security that the US economy once offered tohigh school graduates has largely evaporated. More educationis the new principle. We want more for our kids, and rightfullyso.But the headlong push into bachelor’s degrees for all –and the subtle devaluing of anything less – misses an important point: That’s not the only thing the American economy need.Yes, a bachelor’s degree opens more doors. But even now, 54percent of the jobs in the country are middle-skill jobs, such asconstruction and high-skill manufacturing. But only 44 percentof workers are adequately trained.In other words, at a time when the working class has turnedthe country on its political head, frustrated that the opportunitythat once defined America is vanishing, one obvious solution isstaring us in the face. There is a gap in working-class jobs, butthe workers who need those jobs most aren’t equipped to do them. Koziatek’s Manchester school of Technology HighSchool is trying to fill that gap.Koziatek’s school is a wake-up call. When education becomes one-size-fits-all, it risks overlooking a nation’s diversity of gifts.21. A broken bike chain is mentioned to show students’lack of .[A] practical ability[B] academic training[C] pioneering spirit[D] mechanical memorization22. There exists the prejudice that vocational education isfor kids who .[A] have a stereotyped mind[B] have no career motivation[C] are not academically successful[D] are financially disadvantaged23. We can infer from Paragraph 5 that high schoolgraduates .[A] used to have big financial concerns[B] used to have more job opportunities[C] are reluctant to work in manufacturing[D] are entitled to more educational privileges24. The headlong push into bachelor's degrees for all .[A] helps create a lot of middle-skill jobs[B] may narrow the gap in working-class jobs[C] is expected to yield a better-trained workforce[D] indicates the overvaluing of higher education25. The author's attitude toward Koziatek’s school can be described as .[A] supportive[B] tolerant[C] disappointed[D] cautiousText 2While fossil fuels—still generate roughly 85 percent of the world’s energy supply, it’s clearer than ever that the futurebelongs to renewable sources such as wind and solar. The moveto renewables is picking up momentum around the world: Theynow account for more than half of new power sources going online.Some growth stems from a commitment by governmentsand farsighted businesses to fund cleaner energy sources. But increasingly the story is about the plummeting prices ofrenewables, especially wind and solar. The cost of solar panelshas dropped by 80 percent and the cost of wind turbines byclose to one-third in the past eight years.In many parts of the world renewable energy is already aprincipal energy source. In Scotland, for example, wind turbines provide enough electricity to power 95 percent of homes. Whilethe rest of the world takes the lead, notably China and Europe,the United States is also seeing a remarkable shift. In March, forthe first time, wind and solar power accounted for more than 10 percent of the power generated in the US, reported the USEnergy Information Administration.President Trump has underlined fossil fuels—especially coal —as the path to economic growth. In a recent speech in Iowa,he dismissed wind power as an unreliable energy source. Butthat message did not play well with many in Iowa, where windturbines dot the fields and provide 36 percent of the state’s electricity generation—and where tech giants like Microsoft are being attracted by the availability of clean energy to powertheir data centers.The question “What happens when the wind doesn’t blow or the sun doesn’t shine?” has provided a quick put-down for skeptics. But a boost in the storage capacity ofbatteries is making their ability to keep power flowing aroundthe clock more likely.The advance is driven in part by vehicle manufacturers, whoare placing big bets on battery-powered electric vehicles.Although electric cars are still a rarity on roads now, thismassive investment could change the picture rapidly in coming years.While there’s a long way to go, the trend lines for renewables are spiking. The pace of change in energy sources appears to be speeding up—perhaps just in time to have a meaningful effect in slowing climate change. What Washington does—or doesn’t do—to promote alternative energy may mean less and less at a time of a global shift in thought.26. The word “plummeting”(Line 3, Para. 2) is closest in meaning to .[A] stabilizing[B] changing[C] falling[D] rising27. According to Paragraph 3, the use of renewable energy in America .[A] is progressing notably[B] is as extensive as in Europe[C] faces many challenges[D] has proved to be impractical28. It can be learned that in Iowa, .[A] wind is a widely used energy source[B] wind energy has replaced fossil fuels[C] tech giants are investing in clean energy[D] there is a shortage of clean energy supply29. Which of the following is true about clean energy according to Paragraphs 5&6？[A] Its application has boosted battery storage.[B] It is commonly used in car manufacturing.[C] Its continuous supply is becoming a reality.[D] Its sustainable exploitation will remain difficult.30. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that renewable energy____.[A] will bring the USA closer to other countries.[B] will accelerate global environmental change.[C] is not really encouraged by the USA government.[D] is not competitive enough with regard to its cost.Text 3The power and ambition of the giants of the digital economy is astonishing-Amazon has just announced the purchase of the upmarket grocery chain Whole Foods for＄l3.5bn,but two years ago Facebook paid even more than that to acquire the WhatsApp messaging service, which doesn't have any physical product at all. What WhatsApp offered Facebook was an intricate and finely detailed web of its users' friendships and social lives.Facebook promised the European commission then that it would not link phone numbers to Facebook identities, but it broke the promise almost as soon as the deal went through. Even without knowing what was in the messages, the knowledge of who sent them and to whom was enormously revealing and still could be. What political journalist, what party whip, would not want to know the makeup of the WhatsApp groups in which Therea May's enemies are currently plotting? Itmay be that the value of Whole Foods to Amazon is not so much the 460 shops it owns, but the records of which customers have purchased what.Competition law appears to be the only way to address these imbalances of power. But it is clumsy. For one thing, it is very slow compared to the pace of Change within the digital economy. By the time a problem has been addressed and remedied it may have vanished in the marketplace, to be replaced by new abuses of power. But there is a deeper conceptual problem, too. Competition law as presently interpreted deals with financial disadvantage to consumers and this is not obvious when the users of these services don't pay for them. The users of their Services are not their customers. That would be the people who buy advertising from them-and Facebook and Google, the two virtual giants, dominate digital advertising to the disadvantage of all other media and entertainment companies.The product they're selling is data, and we, the users, convert our lives to date for the benefit of the digital giants.Just as some ants farm the bugs called aphids for the honeydew the produce when they feed, so Google farms us for the data that our digital lives yield. Ants keep predatory insects away from where their aphids feed; Gmail keeps the spamme out of our inboxes. It doesn't feel like a human or democratic relationship, even if both sides benefit.31. According to Paragraph 1, Facebook acquired WhatsApp for its .[A] digital products[B] user information[C] physical assets[D] quality service32. Linking phone numbers to Facebook identities may .[A] worsen political disputes[B] mess up customer records[C] pose a risk to Facebook users[D] mislead the European commission33. According to the author, competition law .[A] should sever the new market powers[B] may worsen the economic imbalance[C] should not provide just one legal solution[D] cannot keep pace with the changing market34. Competition law as presently interpreted can hardlyprotect Facebook users because .[A] they are not defined as customers[B] they are not financially reliable[C] the services are generally digital[D] the services are paid for by advertisers35. The ants analogy is used to illustrate .[A] a win-win business model between digital giants[B] a typical competition pattern among digital giants[C] the benefits provided for digital giants ’customers[D] the relationship between digital giants and their usersText 4To combat the trap of putting a premium on being busy, CalNewport, author of Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in aDistracted World, recommends building a habit of “deep work”-the ability to focus without distraction.There are a number of approaches to mastering the art ofdeep work- be it lengthy retreats dedicated to a specific task;developing a daily ritual; or taking a “journalistic” approachto seizing moment of deep work when you can throughout theday. Whichever approach, the key is to determine your lengthof focus time and stick to it.Newport also recommends “deep scheduling” to combat constant interruptions and get more done in less time. “At any given point, I should have deep work scheduled for roughly thenext mouth. Once on the calendar, I protect this time like Iwould a doctor’s appointment or important meeting”, he writes.Another approach to getting more done in less time is torethink how you priorities your day – in particular how we craftour to-do lists. Tim Harford, author of Messy: The Power ofDisorder to Transform Our Lives, points to a study in the early1980s that divided undergraduates into two groups: some wereadvised to set out monthly goals and study activities; otherswere told to plan activities and goals in much more detail, dayby day.While the researchers assumed that the well-structureddaily plans would be most effective when it came to theexecution of tasks, they were wrong: the detailed daily plans demotivated students .Harford argues that inevitabledistractions often render the daily to-do list ineffective, whileleaving room for improvisation in such a list can reap the bestresults.In order to make the most of our focus and energy, we alsoneed to embrace downtime, or as Newport suggests, “be lazy”.“Idleness is not just a vacation, an indulgence or a vice; it isas indispensable to the brain as vitamin D is to the body …”[idleness]is, paradoxically, necessary to getting any work done,”he argues.Srini Pillay, an assistant professor of psychiatry at HarvardMedical School, believes this counterintuitive link betweendowntime and productivity may be due to the may our brainsoperate. When our brains switch between being focused andunfocused on a task, they tend to be more efficient.“What people don’t realise is that in order to completethese tasks they need to use both the focus and unfocus circuitsin their brain,” says Pillay.36. The key to mastering the art of deep work is to .[A] keep to your focus time[B] list your immediate tasks[C] make specific daily plans[D] seize every minute to work37. The study in the early 1980s cited by Harford showsthat .[A] distractions may actually increase efficiency.[B] daily schedules are indispensable to studying[C] students are hardly motivated by monthly goals[D] detailed plans may not be as fruitful as expected38. According to Newport, idleness is .[A] a desirable mental state for busy people.[B] a major contributor to physical health[C] an effective way to save time and energy[D] an essential factor in accomplishing any work39. Pillay believes that our brains’ shift between being focused and unfocused .[A] can result in psychological well-being[B] can bring about greater efficiency[C] is aimed at better balance in work[D] is driven by task urgency40. This text is mainly about .[A] ways to relieve the tension of busy life[B] approaches to getting more done in less time[C] the key to eliminating distractions[D] the cause of the lack of focus timePart BDirections:Read the following text and answer the questions by choosing the most suitable subtitles from the list A-G for each numbered paragraph (41-45).

Youwanted to say something-the first word –but it just won’tcome out, it feels like it is stuck somewhere. I know the feelingand here is my advice: just get it out.Just think: what is the worst that could happen? They won’t talk with you? Well, they are not talking with you now!I truly believe that once you get that first word outeverything else will just flow. So keep it simple: “Hi”，“Hey”or “Hello”- do the best you can to gather all of theenthusiasm and energy you can , put on a big smile and say“Hi”。

Dream is a story that a person “watches” or even takes part in during sleep. Dream events are imaginary, but they are related to real experiences and needs in the dreamer’s life. They seem real while they are taking place. Some dreams are pleasant, others are annoying, and still others are frightening.
Dreams are a product of the sleeper’s mind. They include events and feelings that he has experienced. Most dreams are related to events of the day before the dream and strong wishes of the dreamer. Many minor incidents of the hours before sleep appear in dreams. Few events more than twodays old turn up. Deep wishes or fears——especially those held since childhood——often appear in dreams, and many dreams fulfill such wishes. Events in the sleeper’s surrounding——a loud noise, for example, may become part of a dream, but they do not cause dreams.
2. According to the passage, dreams result from ______.
A. the sleeper’s wishes
B. the sleeper’s own mind
C. the sleeper’s feeling
D. the sleeper’s imagination

A few years ago it was common to speak of a generation gap between young people and their elders.Parents said that children did not respect and listen to them, while children said that their parents did not understand them at all. What had gone wrong? Why had the generation gap suddenly appeared? Actually, the generation gap has been around for a long time. Many people argue that it is built intoevery part of our society.
One important cause of the generation gap is the opportunity that young people have to choose their own ways of life. In a more traditional society, when children grow up, they areexpected to live in the same area as their parents, to marry people that their parents know and like, and often to continue the family jobs. In our society, young people often travel great distances for their education, move out of the family at an early age, marry or live with people whom their parents have never met, and choose jobs different from those of their parents.

Finally, the speed at which changes take place in our society is the third cause of the gap between the generations. In a traditional culture, senior people are valued for their knowledge, but in our society the knowledge of a lifetime may become out of date. The young and the old seem to live in two very different worlds, separated by different skills and abilities. No doubt, the generation gap will continue in American life for some time to come.
