  In my family it was always important to place blame when anything bad happened. But the Whites didn"t worry about who had done what. Mr. and Mrs. White had six children: three sons and three daughters.
  In July, the White sisters and I decided to take a car trip to New York. The two oldest, Sarah and Jane, were college students, and the youngest, Amy had recently got a driver" s license, and was excited about practicing her driving on the trip.

  Jane was killed instantly.
  When Mr. and Mrs. White arrived at the hospital, they hugged us all.
  To both of their daughters, and especially to Amy, over and over they simply said, "We" re so glad that you"re alive."
  I was astonished. No blame.

7.Are you aware that you actually possess six senses? The sixth is a muscular sense responsible for directing your muscles intelligently to the extent necessary for each action you perform. For example, when you reach for an object, the sensory nerves linking the muscles to the brain stop your hand at the correct spot. This automatic perception of the position of your muscles in relation to the object is your muscular sense in action.
  Muscles are stringly bundles of fibers varying from one five - thousand of an inch to about three inches. They have three unique characteristics, they can become shorter and thicker; they can stretch; and they can retract to their original positions. Under a high -powered microscope, muscle tissue is seen as long, slender cells with a grainy texture like wood.
  More than half of a person" s body is composed of muscle fibers, most of which are involuntary, in other words, work without conscious direction. The voluntary muscles, those that we move consciously to perform. particular actions, number more than five hundred. Women have only 60 to 70 percent as much muscle as men for their body mass. That is why an average woman can" t lift as much, throw as far, or hit as hard as an average man.

A．the efficiency of our muscles
B．the normal breathing function
C．directing our muscles intelligently

C．retract
D．do all of the above

A．voluntary muscles

13.Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, but I also ex plain that there" s a big difference between "being a writer" and writing. In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours alone at a typewriter. "You" ye got to want to write," I say to them, "not want to be a writer."
  The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by for tune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When ! left a 20-year career in the U. S. Coast Guard to become a freelance writer (自由撰稿人), I had no prospects at all. What I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building. It didn" t even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used manual typewriter and felt like a genuine writer.   After a year or so, however, I still hadn" t gotten a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that I barely made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn" t going to be one of those people who die wondering" What if?" I would keep putting my dream to the test-even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the Shadow land of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.

The passage is meant to ______ .

A．warn young people of the hardships that a successful writer has to experience
B．a(chǎn)dvise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writer
C．show young people it" s unrealistic for a writer to pursue wealth and fame
D．encourage young people to pursue a writing career

B．A writer" s success depends on luck rather than on effort.
C．Famous writers usually live in poverty and isolation.
D．The chances for a writer to become successful are small.

15.

19.Advertisement can be thought of as "the means of making known in order to buy or sell goods or services". Advertisement aims to increase people"s awareness and arouse interest. It tries to inform. and to persuade. The media are all used to spread the message. The press offers a fairly cheap method and magazines are used to reach special sections of the market. The cinema and commercial radio are useful for lo cal market. Television, although more expensive, can be very effective. Public notices are fairly cheap and more permanent in their power of attraction. Other ways of increasing consumer interest are through exhibitions and trade fairs as well as direct mail advertisement.
  There can be no doubt that the growth in advertisement is one of the most striking features of the western world in this century. Many businesses such as those handling frozen foods, liquor, tobacco and medicines have been built up largely by advertisement.
  We might ask whether the cost of advertisement is paid for by the producer or by the customer. Since advertisement forms part of the cost of production, which has to be covered by the selling price, it is clear that it is the customer who pays for advertisement. However, if large scale advertisement leads to in creased demand, production costs are reduced, and the customer pays less.
  It is difficult to measure exactly the influence of advertisement on sales. When the market is growing, advertisement helps to increase demand. When the market is shrinking, advertisement may prevent a bigger fall in sales than would occur without its support. What is clear is that businesses would not pay large sums for advertisement if they were not convinced of its value to them.

Advertisement is often used to ______ .

A．deceive customers
B．increase production
C．a(chǎn)rouse suspicion
D．push the sale

20.
The word "media"( in the first paragraph) includes ______ .

A．the press

Advertisement is mainly paid for by ______ .

A．the customer
B．the producer
C．increased sales
D．reduced prices

22.
Advertisement can increase demand ______ .

A．a(chǎn)ll the time
B．in any circumstances
C．in a growing market
D．in a shrinking market

23.
From the last sentence of this passage we conclude that ______ .

A．businesses usually do not pay much for advertisement
B．businessmen know well that advertisement could bring them more profits
C．a(chǎn)dvertisement could hardly convince people of the value of the goods
D．a(chǎn)dvertisement usually cost businesses large amounts of money

25."Fingers were made before forks" when a person gives up good manners, puts aside knife and fork, and dives into his food, someone is likely to repeat that saying.
  The fork was an ancient agricultural tool, but for centuries no one thought of eating with it. Not until the eleventh century, when a young lady from Constantinpole brought her fork to Italy, did the custom reach Europe.
  By the fifteenth century the use of the fork was widespread in Italy. The English explanation was that Italians were averse to rating food touched with fingers, "Seeing all men"s fingers are not alike clean." English travelers kept their friends in stitches while describing this ridiculous Italian custom.
  Anyone who used a fork to eat with was laughed at in England for the next hundred years. Men who used forks were thought to be sissies, and women who used them were called show - offs and overnice. Not until the late 1600"s did using a fork become a common custom.
