He had left a message the night before, telling me that my show was to be cancelled. I called him several times, but each time his secretary told me that he was in a meeting and that he would call me later. So I waited and waited, but there was still no call. Three hours passing by, I became more and more impatient. I was certain that my agent didn’t care about my work, and he didn’t care about me. I was overcome with that thought. I started to shout at the phone, “Let me wait, will you? Who do you think you are?”‎ At that time I didn’t realize my wife was looking on. Without showing her surprise, she rushed in, seized the phone, tore off the wires, and shouted at the phone, “Yeah! Who do you think you are? Bad telephone! Bad telephone!” And she swept it into the wastebasket.‎ I stood watching her, speechless. What on earth...?‎ She stepped to the doorway and shouted at the rest of the house, “Now hear this! All objects in this room---if you do anything to upset my husband, out you go!”‎ Then she turned to me, kissed me and said calmly, “Honey, you just have to learn how to take control.” With that, she left the room.‎ After watching a crazy woman rushing in and out, shouting at everything in sight , I noticed that something in my mood ( 情绪) had changed. I was laughing. How could I have trouble with that phone? Her anties helped me realize I had been driven crazy by small things. Twenty minutes later my agent did call.

What good does reading the book do?”‎ The grandpa quietly turned from putting coal in the stove and replied, “Take this coal basket down to the river and bring me back a basket of water.”‎ The boy did as he was told, but all the water leaked out before he got back to the house. The grandpa laughed and said, “You’ll have to move a little faster next time,” and sent him back to the river with the basket to try again. This time the boy ran faster, but again the basket was empty before he returned. Out of breath, he told his grandpa that it was impossible to carry water in a basket, so he went to get a bucket instead. The grandpa said, “I don’t want a bucket of water; I want a basket of water. You’re just not trying hard enough.” The boy again dipped the basket into the river and ran hard, but when he reached his grandpa the basket was empty again. Out of breath, he said, “Grandpa, it’s useless!”‎ ‎“So, you think it is useless?” the grandpa said, “Look at the basket.”‎ The boy looked at the basket and for the first time he realized that the basket was different. It had been transformed from a dirty old coal basket and was now clean.‎ ‎“Grandson, that’s what happens when you read the book.

Reading for Total Changing C A rainforest is an area covered by tall trees with the total high rainfall spreading quite equally through the year and the temperature rarely dipping below l6℃. Rainforests have a great effect on the world environment because they can take in heat from the sun and adjust the climate. Without the forest cover ， these areas would reflect more heat into the atmosphere, warming the rest of the world. Losing the rainforests may also influence wind and rainfall patterns，potentially causing certain natural disasters all over the world.‎ In the past hundred years，humans have begun destroying rainforests in search of three major resources（资源）: land for crops，wood for paper and other products，land for raising farm animals. This action affects the environment as a whole. For example，a lot of carbon dioxide（二氧化碳）in the air comes from burning the rainforests. People obviously have a need for the resources we gain from cutting trees but we will suffer much more than we will benefit.‎ There are two main reasons for this. Firstly，when people cut down trees，generally they can only use the land for a year or two. Secondly，cutting large sections of rainforests may provide a good supply of wood right now ， but in the long run it actually reduces the world’s wood supply.‎ Rainforests are often called the world’s drug store. More than 25％ of the medicines we use today come from plants in rainforests. However，fewer than l％of rainforest plants have been examined for their medical value. It is extremely likely that our best chance to cure diseases lies somewhere in the world’s shrinking (萎缩的) rainforests.‎ 21. Rainforests can help to adjust the climate because they .‎ A. reflect more heat into the atmosphere B. bring about high rainfall throughout the world C. rarely cause the temperature to drop lower than l6℃‎ D. reduce the effect of heat from the sun on the earth 22. What does the word “this” underlined in the third paragraph refer to?‎ A. We will lose much more than we can gain.‎ B. Humans have begun destroying rainforests.‎ C. People have a strong desire for resources.‎ D. Much carbon dioxide comes from burning rainforests.‎ 23. It can be inferred from the text that .‎ A. we can get enough resources without rainforests B. there is great medicine potential in rainforests C. we will grow fewer kinds of crops in the gained land D. the level of annual rainfall affects wind patterns 24. What might be the best title for the text?‎ A. How to Save Rainforests B. How to Protect Nature C. Rainforests and the Environment D. Rainforests and Medical Development D The latest target(目标)for TV advertisers is children in Asia. Asian families are getting smaller and wealthier, and Asian children are watching more and more TV. It is said that the average Hong Kong child sees about 25,000 TV advertisements a year.‎ To get the attention and the money of these young audiences, the advertisers use little actors. “The kids share the same feelings with someone from their own age group,” says one advertiser, “so this kind of advertisement is more effective. And, of course, the little actors earn big money.”‎ Not everyone is happy to see kids turned into buyers. “advertising to children is wrong, ” said Pasty Liang, “because its aim is to make them ask their parents for money to buy things. Also, many things advertised, such as toys, are silly and encourage violence. If a child buys them, he or she will learn nothing.” Some educators believe that if young people watch the ads, they will become more and more materialistic(物质至上的).‎ Some people even think it wrong to use little actors in TV advertisements. “It is illegal for kids to work in factories, so why are they allowed to work in ads? Also, considering the high salaries, it is bad for children to have too much money.” said Elvis Hu.‎ As an advertiser, J.W. Lu clearly has his own opinion about this. “It is nothing wrong with children earning a lot of money or asking their parents to buy things for them. Besides, kids buy toys to have fun, not to learn from.”‎ Anyway, governments are beginning to take action to protect children. An ad would not be allowed to appear on TV if it made children feel inferior(低人一等的) because they didn’t own the advertised product.‎ 21. The advertisers use little actors so that .‎ A. the ads can attract young audiences B. the little actors can earn big money C. the kids will share the same feelings D. people will see more TV advertisements 22. Who thinks it all right for kids to earn money by acting in ads?‎ A. Elvis Hu. B. J.W. Lu C. Pasty Liang D. Some educators.‎ 23. Which of the following is true according to the passage?‎ A. Little actors earn less money than adults.‎ B. Advertisers want children to learn from toys.‎ C. Some people are not for advertising to children.‎ D. Governments are taking action to protect advertisers.‎ 24. What is the best title for the passage?‎ A. Little Actors or Adult Actors B. How to Get Children’s Attention C. Opinions about TV Advertisements D. Children：New Target for TV Advertisements 第二节 （共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两 项为多余选项。‎ A major source of teen stress is school exams, and test anxiety is not uncommon.
