Passage 1

It，s hard to talk to dads sometimes. The roles we often expect our fathers to play-protector, provider-can make them seem impenetrable. That’s how it was with my dad. He was never much of a talker. He rarely drank, so we didn’t get to see him loosen up after a few beers. He didn’t tell stories about himself at the dinner table or when we went for walks in the park. He was a private person and seemed to want to stay that way.

But when my relationship and career simultaneously took a hit a year ago, things had to change. I was facing serious questions about my own nature, and I wanted to know that he had faced them, too. I needed to know how he had found his way, because I felt like I had lost mine.

In an acute moment of desperation，it occurred to me that sending an email might be the key. I could speak at a comfortable distance and give him room to adjust. He’d be up in his office filled with bookshelves, dusty CDs and old newspapers. I，d be at my desk in a basement apartment 20 minutes away.

So I wrote him a message. I told him about my regrets and fears, and I asked him to answer, if he felt like it, and to share something about himself，something that would give me much-needed perspective on both of our lives.

Two weeks later, it showed up in my inbox: a scanned, three-page hand-written document. Dad, a 68-year-old retired technologist and grandfather of four, had carefully considered my message, reached back into his memory and crafted a response-his history of love，longing, self-doubt, struggle and persistence.

After reading，I closed the email and started to cry. I cried because I wished I had opened up earlier but was grateful it wasn’t too late，and because I thought I knew him and now realized there was so much I hadn’t discovered. I cried because it felt as if I hadn’t been able to ask him anything of consequence about his life in all this time; instead, I had focused on not sharing anything about myself with him. I cried because at 33，in the midst of my own struggles, his letter instantly put me at ease. And I cried because in the end, it was so simple: I just had to hit “Send.”

We’ve since had many email exchanges. I’ve asked about his childhood and his relationship with his own parents. Some days I can even ask my dad questions face to face without getting a lump in my throat. Better yet，he occasionally offers stories without me asking, like the one about the time he and his friend Antonio skipped school to see a movie but got caught.

And I’m talking more, too. My problems haven’t been magically solved, but getting to know my dad better-and learning to love him more-has made the tough stuff more manageable and life sweeter. It’s hard to talk to dads sometimes. I’m glad I found a way to talk to mine.

Passage 2

What do video cassettes, ice cream，pizzas，whisky and bouquets of flowers all have in common? The answer is that in Japan they can all be bought from a vending machine (自動售 貨機(jī)).Japan boasts more vending machines per person than any other country in the world, with one for every 22 people. America, by contrast，has one for every 46; the European community only for every 200.

Japanese vending machines are also more productive and sales per machine are almost two-thirds higher than in America, because the Japanese machines sell high-value products, like whisky, as well as the usual Coca-cola and gum.

Want a cigarette or a bar of chocolate? In America or Britain the nearest vending machine is probably damaged, empty, or accepts only the right money in the wrong coins.

Thanks to its low crime-rates and sophisticated electronics，Japan’s vending machines are much more reliable. They are also less likely to run out, thanks to on-line monitoring of stocks.

Despite what looks like saturation by anyone else’s standards，the number of vending machines in Japan is set to grow. This is because the labour-saving advantages of vending machines have yet to be fully exploited. Declining birth rates，an aging population and tight controls on immigration are creating a shortage of low-wage workers in Japan and boosting the demand for ever cleverer machines. One of the fastest growing sectors is heated food such as pizzas. A vending machine can replace waitresses in hamburger joints, ticket vendors in cinemas and counter staff in all-night stores.

The latest trend is vending machines that sell love. Men looking for a girl-friend or women for a boy-friend can pay to have their vital statistics fed into the love machine一including their name，telephone number and, more important of all, the kind of car they drive. Then they can get information about their ideal life partner.

26. What is the purpose of the question raised at the beginning of the article?

A. To explain what kinds of products Japanese people like.

B. To show how vending machines are widely used in Japan.

C. To show the varieties of everyday necessities available in Japan.

D. To explain the reason which makes Japan proud of its prosperity.

27. Why is the nearest vending machine in American or Britain probably empty?

A. Thieves often steal from the machine.

B. Too many people are using the machine.

C. The machine is probably damaged by criminals.

D. The machine is not equipped with on-line monitoring.

28. What does the underlined word “saturation” (Para.4) mean?

A. Being completely filled. B. Being absolutely complicated.

C. Being relatively dependable. D. Being comparatively available.

29. What is the cause of the increasing popularity of vending machines in Japan?

A. The increase of immigrants.

B. The love for advanced technology.

C. The shortage of low-wage labourers.

D. The low cost of making vending machines.

30. What is the author’s attitude towards vending machines?

A. Neutral. B. Doubtful. C. Approving. D. Critical.

Twelve-year-old Mathew loves reading. Until recently, advertisements were the only reading materials available 51 the boy. So he approached his mailman to ask if he had any junk mail.

The 52 question naturally prompted the mailman Lynch to ask 53 and then put Mathew’s response in a Facebook post: “Today 54 delivering mail, I saw him reading ads, and then he asked me if I had any extra mail he could read，” Lynch wrote. “He told me his 55 is to have books to read but he couldn’t 56 to take the bus to the library.” Lynch then asked his friends 57 they could spare some books for Mathew.

Lynch thought the Facebook post might bring in 50 to 60 books. But his 58 was widely spread online. People from around the world have sent books. Hundreds of books have been 59 to the boy’s door so far, and Mathew said he was surprised by the generosity. “I thought they were 60 , but they were for me.” He said he can’t wait to share the books with other kids, and has promised to read every one.

In fact，money alone is almost worthless. 67 you have both self-esteem and money, however, you are well 68 the way to happiness.
