A   Michele Langlois is a young Canadian who works for the police as a handwriting expert. She has helped catch many criminals by using her special skill.   When she was only fourteen, Michel was already so interested in the differences in her school friends’ handwriting that she would spend hours studying them. After finishing college she went to France for a special two-year class to learn how to analyze handwriting at the School of Police Science. On her return, she began her work for the Quebec police.   Michele says that it is impossible for people to disguise (伪装) their handwriting. She can discover most of what she needs to know simply by looking at the writing with her own eyes, but she also has machines that help her analyze different kinds of paper and ink. This knowledge is often of help to the police.   Michele also believes that handwriting is a good sign of the kind of person the writer is. “I wouldn’t go out with a fellow if I didn’t like his handwriting,” she says. But she adds that she fell in love with her future husband, William Smith before she studied his handwriting.

Americans get a lot of entertainment and information from TV. Most people probably watch it for entertainment only. For some people, however, TV is where they get the news of the day. But some new TV programs or shows put entertainment and news together. This new kind of program in the United States is called “information”, which means information (info-) and entertainment (-tainment). These kinds of programs use actors to act out news stories, making the news of the day more interesting and exciting to people. The shows also use special effects. An example of infotainment is the show “America’s Most Wanted”. The producers of this program get stories from real cases that the police have dealt with. In most of these cases, the police never found the person who committed the crime (犯罪). Sometimes they caught the criminal, but he or she ran away again. They use actors to play the parts of all the people in the case. At the end of the story, however, they always show “mug shots”, or police photographs, of the real criminals. 1.The purpose of the first paragraph is to introduce _________.   A. news programs      B. “information”   C.

I feel like a child again, being scolded, and I want to explain that I’m not wrong.” says Viola, a nurse. This is a common reaction to criticism, but not a good one. There are better ways of dealing with criticism.   When Sol was criticized by his new employer for not having made a sale, Sol’s reaction was to feel sorry for himself. “I had put everything I had into making that sale,” Sol says, “and I felt that I had failed as a person. I had to learn through experience not to react like that to each failure.   Rather than reacting immediately to criticism, take some time to think over what was said. Your first question should be whether the criticism is fair from the other person’s position. The problem may be a simple misunderstanding of what you did or your reasons for doing it.   After you cool down, consider what you can do about the situation. The best answer may be “nothing”. “I finally realized that my boss was having personal problems and taking them out on me because I was there,” says Sheila. “His criticism didn’t really have anything to do with my work, so nothing I said or did was going to change them.” In Sheila’s case, the best way to deal with it was to leave her job. However, that’s an extreme reaction. You may simply explain your opinion without expecting an in-depth discussion. You may even decide that the battle isn’t worth fighting this time. The key, in any case, is to have a reasonable plan. 1. When Sol was criticized by his employer, he __________.   A. argued bitterly with his employer   B. was angry and gave up his job.   C. was sorry for what he did   D. was sad and self-pitying 2. According to the writer, you should take time to think about criticism because _________.   A. people may have a mistaken idea of what you did   B. you should welcome other people’s opinions   C. people may discuss it with you in depth   D. you need time to understand yourself 3. When the writer says that “the best answer may be ‘nothing’, he means you may decide __________.   A. to take no notice of the criticism   B. to argue with your boss   C. you need to change your job.   D. you’ve done nothing wrong 4. The writer thinks Sheila can decide to leave her job because her boss _______.   A. didn’t like her appearance   B. refused to change his opinion   C. made an unreasonable criticism   D. refused to talk to her about the criticism 5.

Take positive action. 夹叙夹义：1细节题 2细节题 3猜测句义题 4推断题 5主旨题 (CAACD) B We should also know that “greed” is little related to the environmental crisis. The two main factors are population pressures, especially the pressures of large city population, and the desire to bring a satisfactory living with the lowest possible cost to the largest number of people. The environmental crisis is the result of success in cutting down the death rate of babies, which has given us the population explosion, success in increasing farm output sufficiently to prevent mass famine(饥荒), success in getting people out of the tenements(租房) of the 19th century city and into the ownership of single family home in the suburb，which has given us urban traffic jams. The environmental crisis, in other words, is the result of doing too much of the right sort of thing at large. To overcome the problems that success always creates, one must build on it. But where to start? Cleaning up the environment requires determined, sustained(持续的) efforts with clear targets and deadlines it needed, above all, concentration of effort. Up to now we have tried to do a little bit of everything, what we ought to do first is to draft a list of priorities(优先解决的问题). 1.
