第一节

A
American and British people use different greetings. In the?USA?, the commonest greeting is “Hi”. In?Britain ,?it is “Hello!” or “How are you?”. “Hi!” is creeping (不知不觉地进入) into British, too. When they are introduced to someone, the Americans say, “Glad to know you.” The British say, “How do you do?” or “Pleased to meet you.” When Americans say “Good-bye”, they nearly always add, “Have a good day.” or “Have a good trip.” etc. to friends and strangers alike. Britains are already beginning to use “Have a good day.”
The British usually use “got” in the sense of “have”. The Americans hardly ever do.
BrE: Have you got a car room, etc.? Yes, I have.
There are a number of differences between American and British English in the spelling of words, e.g. check (US)/cheque (UK). Many American words ending in “or”, e.g. honor, labor are spelt in British English with an “our,” e.g. honour, labour. Many verbs in American English with “ize” or “izing” forms, e.g. organize, realizing are spelt in BrE with “ise” or “ising”, e.g. organise, realising. In American English, “practice” is used both for the verb and noun. In BrE, the verb is spelt “practise”, and the noun “practice.” In American English, one writes “traveler,” while in British English, one writes “traveller”.
It was once predicted ( 预测 ) that British and American English would become separate ( 独立的 ) languages finally. But the opposite has happened. The links (联系) between the two countries are so strong that linguistically (语言上地), and probably culturally (文化上地) too, they are closer together than ever.
56. The Americans hardly say “_____”
?? ?A. Good-bye. Have a good day!??? ?? B. Glad to know you!
C. Hi!???????????????? ???????????????????????

?? ?A. There are lots of differences in spelling between AmE and BrE.
?? ?B. Why do the Americans and the British use different spellings?
?? ?C. There are few differences in spelling between AmE and BrE.
?? ?D. The different usages of words in AmE and BrE.
59. Which of the following is TRUE?
??? A. The two languages will become separate languages.?
??? B. American English will be used more and more.?
??? C. The two languages will be closer and closer.
D. British English will be used more and more.

A. The differences between AmE and BrE in greetings and spellings
B. American English’s greetings are different from those of Britain English.
C. American English is different from Britain English .
D. Britain English is better than American English .

A young woman was driving through the lonely countryside. It was dark and raining. Suddenly she saw an old woman by the side of the road, holding her hand out as if she wanted a lift.
“I can’t leave her out in this weather,” the woman said to herself, so she stopped the car and opened the door.
“Do you want a lift?” she asked. The old woman nodded and climbed into the car. After a while, she said to the old woman, “Have you been waiting for a long time?” The old woman shook her head. “Strange,” thought the young woman. She tried again. “Bad weather for the time of year,” she said. The old woman nodded. No matter what she said, the hitchhiker (搭便车的人) gave no answer except for a nod of the head or a shrug.
Then the young woman noticed the hitchhiker’s hands which were large and hairy. Suddenly she realized that the hitchhiker was actually a man! She stopped the car. “I can’t see out of the rear screen,” she said. “Would you mind clearing it for me?”
The hitchhiker nodded and opened the door. As soon as the hitchhiker was out of the car, the terrified young woman raced off.

Theodor Seuss Geisel was born in Springfield, Massachusetts in 1904. He was famous because of the books he wrote for children. They combine funny words, pictures, and social opinion.
Dr Seuss wrote his first book for children in 1937. It is called And to Think I Saw It on Mulberry Street. A number of publishers refused to publish it. They said it was too different , and it’s not worth publishing. A friend finally published it. Soon other successful books followed. Over the years, he wrote more than forty children’s books. They were fun to read. Yet his books sometimes dealt with serious subjects.
By the middle 1940s, Dr Seuss had become one of the best-loved and most successful writers of children’s books. He had a strong desire to help children. In 1954, Life magazine published a report about school children who could not read. The report said many children’s books weren’t interesting. Dr Seuss decided to write books that were interesting and easy to read.
In 1957, Dr Seuss wrote The Cat in the Hat. He used less than 225 words to write the book. This was about the number of words a six-year-old should be able to read.
The story is about a cat who tries to entertain two children on a rainy day while their mother is away from home. The cat is not like normal cats. It talks. The book was an immediate success. It was an interesting story and was easy to read. Children loved it. Their parents loved it, too. Today many adults say it is still one of the stories they like best. 66.

Most people feel lonely sometimes, but it usually only lasts between a few minutes and a few hours. This kind of loneliness is not serious. In fact, it is quite normal. For
some people, though, loneliness can last for years. Now researchers say there are three different types of loneliness.
The first kind of loneliness is temporary ( 暂时的). This is the most common type. It usually disappears quickly and does not require any special attention. The second kind situational loneliness is a natural result of a particular situation. For example, a family problem, the death of a loved one, or moving to a new place. Although this kind of loneliness can cause physical problems, such as headaches and sleeplessness, it usually does not last for more than a year.
The third kind of loneliness is the most severe ( 严重的) . Unlike the second type chronic（长期的）loneliness usually lasts more than two years and has no specific ( 具体的) reason. People who experience habitual loneliness have problems socializing and becoming close to others. Unfortunately, many chronically lonely people think there is little or nothing they can do to improve their condition.
Psychologists agree that one important factor( 原因 ) in loneliness is a person’s social contacts, e.g. friends, family members, co-workers, etc. We depend on various people for different reasons. For instance, our families give us emotional support, our parents and teachers give us guidance, and our friends share similar interests and activities. However, psychologists have found that, though lonely people may have many social contacts, they sometimes feel they should have more. They question their popularity.
Psychologists are trying to find ways to help habitually lonely people for two reasons; they are unhappy and unable to socialize and there is a connection between chronic loneliness and serious illness such as heart disease. While temporary and situational loneliness can be a normal, healthy part of life, chronic loneliness can be a very sad, and sometimes dangerous condition ,and it even may cause serious illness . 71. How would you treat temporary loneliness according to the passage? A. Talk to friends.?
B. Just ignore it.
C. Go to see a doctor.?
?D. Ask your teachers for guidance. 72. “It” in the last sentence of the second paragraph refers to ______. A.temporary loneliness??
B. situational loneliness
C. a new place? ?D. sleeplessness 73. The topic of the 4th paragraph is that______. A. one problem of loneliness is a person’s social contacts B. we depend on various people for different reasons C. lonely people don’t have many social problems D. lonely people don’t have many friends 74. Why do psychologists want to help chronically lonely people? A. Chronic loneliness can cause family problems. B. Chronic loneliness can cause serious illness. C. Chronic loneliness cannot be overcome. D. A, B, and C are all correct. 75. What is the best title for the passage? A. Three Kinds of Loneliness.?
B. Loneliness and Diseases. C. Loneliness and Social Contacts.?
D. Chronic Loneliness.
