The study，which followed more than 1,300 adults

For example，a child may call mum at work，telling her “microwave exploded”，explained Noelle Chesley，an assistant professor of sociology at the
12、 University of WisconsinMilwaukee and the author of the study. The problem with cell phones seems to be that they are allowing for even more spillover between work and home.This may be especially true for working women，the study found. Among men，consistent use of mobile phones seemed to allow more w
13、ork issues to creep (潜入)into family time. But for women，the spillover tended to go in both directions. Being “connected” meant that work cut into home time，and family issues came into work life.Cell phones seem to be opening more lines for stressful exchanges among family members. But there may be w

28、oke(唤起) an emotion, a visual image, a complex idea, or a simple truth. Language is the tool of my trade. And I use them allall the Englishes I grew up with. Born into a Chinese family that had recently arrived in California, Ive been giving more thought to the kind of English my mother speaks. Like
29、others, I have described it to people as “broken” English. But feel embarrassed to say that. It has always bothered me that I can think of no way to describe it other than “broken”, as if it were damaged and needed to be fixed, as if it lacked a certain wholeness. Ive heard other terms used, “limite
30、d English,” for example. But they seem just as bad, as if everything is limited, including peoples perceptions(认识)of the limited English speaker. I know this for a fact, because when I was growing up, my mothers “limited” English limited my perception of her. I was ashamed of her English. I believed
31、 that her English reflected the quality of what she had to say. That is, because she expressed them imperfectly her thoughts were imperfect. And I had plenty of evidence to support me: the fact that people in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give he
32、r good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her. I started writing fiction in 1985. And for reasons I wont get into today, I began to write stories using all the Englishes I grew up with: the English she used with me, which for lack of a better term might b
33、e described as “broken”, and what I imagine to be her translation of her Chinese, her internal(内在的) language, and for that I sought to preserve the essence, but neither an English nor a Chinese structure: I wanted to catch what language ability tests can never show; her intention, her feelings, the
34、rhythms of her speech and the nature of her thoughts. 51. By saying “Language is the tool of my trade”, the author means that _. A. she uses English in foreign trade B. she is fascinated by languages C. she works as a translator D. she is a writer by profession 52. The author used to think of her mo
35、thers English as _. A. impolite B. amusing C. imperfect D. practical 53. Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 3? A. Americans do not understand broken English. B. The authors mother was not respected sometimes. C. The author mother had positive influence on her. D. Broken English al
36、ways reflects imperfect thoughts. 54. The author gradually realizes her mothers English is _. A. well structured B. in the old style C. easy to translate D. rich in meaning 55. What is the passage mainly about? A. The changes of the authors attitude to her mothers English. B. The limitation of the a
37、uthors perception of her mother. C. The authors misunderstanding of “limited” English. D. The authors experiences of using broken English.5. Societies all over the world name places in similar ways. Quite often there is no official naming ceremony but places tend to be called names as points of refe
38、rence by people. Then an organized body steps in and gives the place a name. Frequently it happens that a place has two names: One is named by the people and the other by the government. As in many areas, old habits died hard, and the place continues to be called by its unofficial name long after th
39、e meaning is lost. Many roads and places in Singapore(新加坡) are named in order that the pioneers will be remembered by future generations. Thus we have names such as Stamford Road and Raffles Place. This is in keeping with traditions in many countries - in both the West and the East. Another way of n
40、aming places is naming them after other places. Perhaps they were named to promote friendships between the two places or it could be that the people who used to live there were originally from the places that the roads were named after. The mystery is clearer when we see some of the roads named in f
41、ormer British bases. If you step into Selector Airbase you will see Piccadilly Circus - obviously named by some homesick Royal Air Force personnel. Some places were named after the activities that used to go on at those places. Bras Basah Road is an interesting example, “Base Basah” means “wet rice”
42、 in Malay(马来语). Now why would anyone want to name a road “Wet Rice Road”? The reason is simple. During the pioneering days, wet rice was laid out to dry along this road. A few roads in Singapore are named by their shapes. There is “Circular Road” for one. Other roads may have part of their names to
43、describe their shapes, like “Paya Lebar Crescent”. This road is called a crescent(月牙) because it begins on the main road, makes a crescent and comes back to join the main road again. 46.

Young Singaporeans have forgotten the pioneers.6. Dubai is a city of big business, expensive hotels, skyscrapers (摩天楼), and shop
47、ping malls. In the early 20th century, Dubai was a successful trading port. People from the world stopped in Dubai to do business. But it was still a small city, and most people lived as fishermen and businessmen. Then in 1966, oil was discovered. This brought a lot of money into the area, and soon
48、Dubai began to change. Today Dubai is one of the worlds most important business centers. In fact, each year the city gets its money mainly from business, not oil. Recently Dubai has attracted more and more visitors from abroad. They come to relax on its beaches, and every year, millions visit just t
49、o go shopping! Dubai is also one of the worlds fastest growing cities. Many tall buildings are built in months. The city also has many man-made islands. One of these, the Palm Jumeirah, is like a palm tree (棕桐树) and is very beautiful. The city is still an amazing mix (混合体) of people from different c
50、ountries. The people from 150 countries live and work in Dubai, and foreigners now outnumber Dubai natives ( 本地人) by eight to one! Many people welcome the citys growth. But an increasing number of Dubai natives worry about the speed of change. As a Dubai native says, “We must always remember where w
