    Culture means any human behavior that is learned in human society. All of the meaningful parts of a culture are passed on to different generations through tradition or social learning.    36   Culture exists in agricultural as well as industrialized societies.
    Culture is necessary for the survival and existence of human beings as human beings. Practically everything humans know, think, value, feel, and do is learned through taking part in a sociocultural system.    37    Here is one of the cases of children growing up apart from human society. In the province of Midnapore in India, the director of a children’s home was told by local villagers that there were “ghost” in the forest. Upon looking into the case, the director found that two children, one about eight years old and the other about six years old, appeared to have been living with a group of wolves in the forest.    38    In his diary, the director describes his first view of Kamala (as the older child was named) and Amala ( the name given to the younger child).
    Kamala was a terrible-looking being, the head, a big ball of something covering the shoulders.   39    Their eyes were bright and sharp, unlike human eyes. They were very fond of raw meat and raw milk. Gradually, as they got stronger, they began going on all fours, and afterwards began to run on all fours, just like squirrels.
    Children learn human language in the same way they learn other kinds of human behavior by taking part in a cultural community.     40  

A. From this viewpoint, all human groups have a culture.
B. Close at its heels there came another terrible creature exactly like the first, but smaller in size.
C. Human beings can only develop human abilities by the local people.
D. This statement is well supported by some well-written cases.
E. These children were the ghosts described by the local people.
F. Culture refers only to the high art and classical music of a particular society.
G. They learn a certain human languages as well as certain kinds of human behavior through their membership in a certain cultural community.

If something that you’re doing doesn’t challenge you, then it doesn’t change you．We all need some normal stress in our lives, after all．   36     So challenge the following limits:
    1． Figure out what you’re scared of and do it continuously．
    If you’re a salesman, and you’re scared of talking to people personally or over the phone, now, instead of being scared and thinking you’ll fail, spend at least five minutes a day to pick up the phone and make a call．    37      But don’t stop on the first try! Eventually, you can look at fear in the eyes and say, “Go on, I'm not scared!”
    2．    38

    3．Set aside at least nine minutes a day for physic al exercise．

Finding summer jobs for teenagers has not always been easy, but now you no longer have to worry about what your kid can do to earn their own money．Recently I found some different sites online that offer information about what kids can do．Below is some of that information, along with questions to think about to help you come up with your own ideas．

Ideas for summer work

●Parks and Recreation Programs．

●Babysitting （当临时保姆） during the day of school．

●Working part-time at a day care for the summer．

●Car washing．

●Working at local vegetable stands．

The easiest way for you to find ways for your child to make money is to think about others’ inconveniences （不方便）．Think of things you need done, or would like to have done, and what you would consider paying for these things to get done．Once you have some ideas, you can sit down with your child and talk to them about what they would be interested in doing．Then once you have an idea of what they want to do you can help them come up with fair prices．

Preferably you would want to only have your child working with people you know and trust, or in the least bit you could have your child pick a partner．That way with each of them carrying cell phones, even those without service can call 911, they will be much safer．

   The English writer Samuel Johnson famously said, “You find no man who is willing to leave London. No, sir when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life, for there is in London all that life can afford.” More than two centuries have passed since Johnson’s age, but his words still ring true. Here, you’ll find the historic Tower of London and the Tate Modern both considered must-sees. Shakespeare’s sonnets(十四行诗) are still being uttered by actors. Londoners most certainly still look up to the royals, but they also rock out to Coldplay and Lily Allen. And while they still sip tea, they now drink Starbucks, too.

How to Save Money in London

Find the free attractions. Many of London’s top things to do, including the National Gallery, Hyde Park and the Portobello Road Market, are absolutely free to enjoy.

Ride the Tube. Taking taxis will add up quickly, so buy a pay-as-you-go Oyster Card and travel on London’s underground system, nicknamed the "Tube".

Dine smart. Corridors like Brick Lane offer fantastic cultural food for bargain prices; fish and chip shops are a cheap standby and takeaway food costs less than dine-in.

London Culture & Customs

London is one of the fashion capitals of the world, and its residents tend to reflect that. Practically, pack an umbrella for the rainy days and a scarf or some layers for the chilly ones. As for tipping, restaurants and cafes will usually add a 10- to 15-percent service charge to the bill. If a service charge is not allotted(指定), it’s customary to tip the same (between 10 and 15 percent). If you’re drinking at a pub or wine bar, tipping is flexible. And in a taxicab, tip the driver to the nearest pound or about 10 percent of the cost.

London Dining

London used to be highly criticized for its heavy and common menu items. Now, London is considered as one of the most gourmet cities in the world. And with its melting pot of cultures, it’s not difficult to see why. London offers everything from modern British to Malaysian. For Indian food, we suggest visiting the curry houses on Brick Lane. If you want a real high tea experience, book reservations at the Ritz, at Fortnum & Mason, or at the Dorchester — but be sure to dress the part. Pub culture is still alive and well, so if you have a hankering for fried fish and salty chips (or French fries), you’ll still find them here. And for a quick bite, exchange a few pounds for a kebab, a quick sandwich or some to-go sushi, which can be found in eateries throughout the city.

25. What can we learn from the first paragraph?

A. Life in London is exciting but tiring.

B. Londoners are traditional and fashion conscious.

C. Many well-known writers like to live in London.

D. Coffee is more popular with Londoners than tea.

26. The underlined word "hankering" in the last paragraph can be replaced by"________".

A. preparation         B. respect          C. desire         D. talent

27. In which column of a newspaper can we find the passage?

A. Culture.    B. Travel.      C. Education.        D. Entertainment.

One of the most popular and enduring myths about depression is that depressed people are sad all the time—and that by extension, people who are happy can’t be experiencing depression, even if they say they are. It is a mistaken version of depression. Depression doesn’t make you sad all the time.

When I’m having a depressive feeling, I’m not walking around in black clothes, and weeping. I go out with friends. I play jokes. I keep working, and have friendly chats with the people I work with. I read books. Above all, I experience moments of happiness. Yet I feel a strange conflicting pressure. On the one hand, I feel like I need to engage in a sort of sadness for people to understand that I really am depressed and that each day is a struggle for me. Because that way I will appear suitably sad, and thus, depressed—and then maybe people will recognize that I’m depressed and perhaps they’ll even offer support and assistance.

 On the other hand, I feel an extreme pressure to perform just the opposite, because sad depressed people are boring and no fun, as I am continually reminded every time I speak openly about depression or express feelings of sadness and frustration. I’m caught in a trap where if I don’t perform sadness, I’m not really depressed, but if I express sadness at all to any degree, I’m annoying and boring and should stop being so self-centered. Depression can become your master, but you can slip out from under it occasionally. And many depressed people don’t actually spend it fainting dramatically on the couch and talking about how miserable they are.

25.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

  A. Sad people are always depressed.

  B. Depressed people are sad all the time.

  C. Happy people will never feel depressed.

  D. Depressed people do not always feel sad.

26.When feeling depressed, the writer usually avoids ________.

  A. expressing sad feelings straight

  B. going out with friends and relatives

  C. having friendly chats with colleagues

  D. experiencing moments of happiness

27. What’s the writer’s attitude to being sad and depressed?

  A. Positive     B. Negative    C. Indifferent    D. Cold

28.In the passage, the writer advises depressed people to _______.

  A. speak openly about depression

  B. hide the depression in the heart and never express it

  C. be optimistic and become the master of depression

  D. lie on the couch and talk about how depressed they are

Mr Brown was going away for a week. Before he left, he said to his son, "if anyone asks for me, you can tell him that your father has been out for doing something, and will be back in a week, then be sure to ask him to sit down for a cup of tea."

"OK, Dad," said his son. But he was afraid his son couldn't remember this, he wrote these words down on a piece of paper and gave it to him. His son put it into his small pocket, took it out and looked at it every now and then.

Four days passed, but no one came to see his father. The boy thought that there was no man to come and that the piece of paper was of no more use for him, so he burnt it that evening.

The next afternoon, someone knocked at the door. The boy opened it. A man was standing at the door and said, "Where is your father?" The boy put his hand into his pocket at once and looked for the piece of paper. He could not find it. He suddenly remembered he had burnt it, so he shouted, "No more."

The man was very surprised. He asked, "No more? I met your father last week. When did it happen?"

"Burnt yesterday evening."

You are watching a film in which two men are having a fight. They hit one another hard. At the start they only fight with their fists. But soon they begin hitting one another over the heads with chairs. And so it goes on until one of the men crashes through a window and falls thirty feet to the ground below. He is dead！Of course he isn't really dead. With any luck he isn't even hurt. Why? Because the men who fall out of high windows or jump from fast moving trains, who crash cars of even catch fire, are professionals. They do this for a living. These men are called stuntmen. That is to say, they perform tricks. There are two sides to their work. They actually do most of the things you see on the screen. For example, they fall from a high building. However, they do not fall on to hard ground but on to empty cardboard boxes covered with a mattress (床垫). Again, when they hit one another with chairs, the chairs are made of soft wood and when they crash through windows, the glass is made of sugar! But although their work depends on trick of this sort, it also requires a high degree of skill and training. Often a stuntman’s success depends on careful timing. For example, when he is "blown up" in a battle scene, he has to jump out of the way of the explosion just at the right moment.

Naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work, but they lead dangerous lives. They often get seriously injured, and sometimes killed. A Norwegian stuntman, for example, skied over the edge of a cliff (悬崖) a thousand feet high. His parachute (降落伞) failed to open, and he was killed. In spite of all the risks, this is no longer a profession for men only. Men no longer dress up as women when actresses have to perform some dangerous action. For nowadays there are stuntgirls too！

33. Stuntmen earn their living by______.

A. playing their dirty tricks                          B. jumping from fast moving trains

C. jumping out of high windows                      D. selling their special skills

34. When a stuntman falls from a high building,______.

A. he needs little protection                          B. his safety is generally all right

C. his life is endangered                             D. he will be covered with a mattress

35. What can be inferred from the author’s example of the Norwegian stuntman?

A. The percentage of serious accidents is high.           B. Sometimes an accident can occur to a stuntman.

C. Parachutes must be of good quality.                  D. The cliff is too high.
