15、r of 2004, days before I was to move to a city in China, to teach English for a year, I spoke to an acquaintance who had spent a few years in the country.“Holidays are hard,” he said. “But strangely, not so much Christmas. Christmas isnt that bad. Its Thanksgiving thats hard.”At the time, surviving
16、the holidays was the least of my worries. I was moving to a country where I didnt speak the language, understand the culture, or know the history, in order to do a job that I had never done and didnt know how to do. And not only that, I was going to a city that I hadnt even heard of, and could find
17、no information about online. Other than that, I was completely equipped. Within a couple of months, the euphoria of being in China had worn off, and I found myself settling into a routine. I taught two hour-long classes of 15 and 16-year-olds, and, because I assigned no homework and rarely gave out
18、tests, spent the afternoons either reading or making a halfhearted attempt to learn Chinese.When Thanksgiving came around, I decided itd be easiest if I just ignored it. In China, this isnt difficult; unlike Christmas, which many Chinese people cerebrate with decorations, music, and festivities, Tha
19、nksgiving slips past unnoticed its just another Thursday.And so it was. As I sat on my sofa, however, watching another film from the James Bond box set I bought for $12 at a local shop, I felt a sense of shame. What was I doing? It was Thanksgiving, damn it. I needed to have a proper Thanksgiving di
20、nner.There was only one problem. As in most small Chinese cities, theres no turkey, or cranberry sauce, or stuffing, yams, pumpkin pie, or anything else. In fact, in the entire city of 700,000 people, there was exactly one restaurant whose food even resembled, at a distance, Thanksgiving fare.Kentuc
21、ky Fried Chicken. And so thats where I headed. 26. Before beginning his teaching in a Chinese city, the writer _. A. made few preparations B. little expected the hardships C. turned to one friend for information D. was full of curiosity 27. The underlined word “euphoria” in the 3rd paragraph probabl
22、y means _. A. pleasureB. worriesC. satisfactionD. hope28. From the passage we can know that the writer usually spent a day by _.A. watching films from the James Bond boxB. learning Chinese with passion in the afternoonsC. giving two-hour lessons for teenagersD. occasionally marking the students home
23、work29. KFC became the writers final choice on Thanksgiving Day because _. A. its food was a bit similar to Thanksgiving dishB. its atmosphere was suitable for foreigners in ChinaC. Western holidays were less attractive to ChineseD. Turkey or related food was not available in China30. The purpose of
24、 the passage is _A. to explain a foreigners dull work experience B. to describe a foreigners lonely Thanksgiving DayC. to prove a foreigners wrong cultural concept D. to present some hard problems for a foreigner BDrunken driving sometimes called Americas socially accepted form of murder has become
25、a national epidemic (流行病). Every hour of every day about three Americans on average are killed by drunken drivers, adding up to an incredible 250,000 over the past ten years.A drunken driver is usually referred to as one with 0.10-blood alcohol content or roughly three beer glasses of wine or shots
26、of whisky drunk within two hours. Heavy drinking used to be an acceptable part of the American manly image and judges were lenient in most courts, but the drunken killing has recently caused so many well-publicized tragedies, especially concerning young children, that public opinion is no longer so
27、tolerant.Twenty states have raised the legal drinking age to 21, reversing a trend (逆转潮流) in the 1960s to reduce it to 18. After New Jersey lowered it to 18, the number of people killed by 18-20-year-old drivers more than doubled, so the state recently upped it back to 21. Reformers, however, fear r
28、aising the drinking age will have little effect unless accompanied by educational programs to help young people to develop “responsible attitudes” about drinking and teachthem to resist peer pressure to drink.Though new laws have led to increased arrests and tests in many areas already, to a marked
29、drop in accidents, some states are also punishing bars for serving customers too many drinks. A bar in Massachusetts was fined for serving six or more double brandies to a customer who was “obviously drunk” and later drove off the road, killing a nine-year-old boy.As the accidents continue to occur
30、daily in every state, some Americans are even beginning to speak well of the 13 years national ban of alcohol that began in 1919, which President Hoover called the “noble experiment”. They forgot that legal prohibition didnt stop drinking, but encouraged political corruption (腐败) and organized crime
31、. As with the booming drug trade generally, there is no easy solution. ks5u31. What can be inferred from the fact of the traffic accidents in New Jersey? A. Young drivers were usually bad. B. Drivers should not be allowed to drink. C. Some drivers didnt surprise the legal drinking age. D. The legal
32、drinking age should be raised.32. The underlined word “lenient” in the first paragraph means _. A. seriousB. cruelC. mercifulD. determined33. Which of the following statements best shows the writers opinion of drunken driving? A. It is difficult to solve this problem. B. It may lead to organized cri
33、me. C. The new laws can stop heavy drinking D. There should be no bars to serve drinks.34. In America, the number of people killed by drunken drivers on average is _. A. 3 per dayB. 250,000 over the last 10 years C. 72 each dayD. less than 500 each week35. Drunken driving has become a major national
34、 problem because _. A. drinking is Americas socially accepted habit B. most Americans drink quite a lot C. not many people realized the severe subsequences caused by heavy drinking D. publicity did not pay much attention to road accidentsC California has a new program called the Digital Textbook Ini
35、tiative. “Starting this fall with high school math and science, we will be the first state in the nation to provide schools with a state-approved list of digital textbooks.” That was Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in June, talking about his effort to get schools to use materials available free onlin
36、e. He listed reasons why he thinks digital textbooks make sense.California approves traditional textbooks in six-year cycles. Digital ones can offer the latest information. They lighten the load of school bags. They save paper and trees, and make learning more fun and interactive. And above all, he
37、said, they help schools with their finances.The state has had to make severe cuts in school spending because of deep financial problems. More than six million students attend California public schools. ks5uEarlier this year, California invited content developers to offer digital math and science mat
38、erials for high schools. These had to meet at least 90% of the states learning requirements. Specially trained teachers examined 16 textbooks and approved ten of them. Six of the ten were published by the CK 12 Foundation, a nonprofit group that had been developing digital science and math books for
39、 about two years. The foundation paid teachers and other education professionals to write and edit them. The money came from a group financed by the Khosla Family.California cannot require schools to use the digital textbooks. Individual school districts will have to decide for themselves. Susan Mar
40、timo, a California Department of Education official, says she does not expect widespread use right away. Her best guess is that some schools with a lot of technology will be the first to use them, but only in addition to their traditional books.School administrators point out that the texts may be f
41、ree online, but students need a way to access them. Not everyone has a computer or electronic reader. Schools could print out copies, but that would not help the environment. Also, there is the cost to train teachers to use digital textbooks effectively. 36. The Digital Textbook Initiative _. A. wil
42、l probably take effect in six years B. covers all the high school subjects C. has been approved by all states D. is advocated by California state governor37. Digital textbooks are most meaningful in that they are to _. A. help save moneyB. benefit the environment C. provide interesting materialsD. r
43、educe students heavy burden38. Which of the following is TRUE of the CK 12 Foundation? A. It publishes all the books for students free of chargeB. It provides money to write and edit all the textbooks in the USA C. It is organized and supported by Khosla Family D. It offers digital math and science
44、materials for high schools39. According to Susan Martimo, digital textbooks will _. A. come into fashion from now on B. soon replace traditional onesks5u C. first be adopted by well-equipped schools D. surely be approved by school districts40. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _. A. sc
45、hools are reluctant to print out copies B. the program is not easy to carry out C. students have no access to the computers D. teachers fail to use the textbooks effectively DThe more women and minorities make their way into the ranks of management, the more they seem to want to talk about things fo
46、rmerly judged to be best left unsaid. The newcomers also tend to see office matters with a fresh eye, in the process sometimes forming critical analyses of the factors that influence everyones experience in the organization.Consider the new views of Harvey Coleman of Atlanta on the subject of how pe
47、ople get promoted. Coleman is black. He spent 11 years with IBM, half of them working in management development, and now serves as a consultant in some big companies like AT&T and Coca-Cola. Coleman says that based on what hes seen at big companies, he considers the different roles of the following
48、elements in the long-term success: performance counts a mere 10%, image, 30%; and exposure, a full 60%. Coleman concludes that excellent job performance is so common these days that while doing your work well may increase your pay, it wont ensure you the big promotion. He finds that advancement more
49、 often depends on how many people know you and your work, and what a high position these people hold.Ridiculous beliefs? But they are not ridiculous to many people, especially many women and members of minority races who, like Coleman, feel that they have a better picture of the reality. “Women and
50、blacks in organizations work under false beliefs,” says Kaleel Jamison, a New York-based management consultant who helps corporations deal with these issues. “They think that if you work hard, youll get ahead that someone in authority will reach down and give you a promotion.” She adds, “Most women
51、and blacks are so frightened that people will think theyve got ahead because of their sex or color that they try to make themselves less visible.” Her advice to those folks: learn the ways that white males have traditionally used to find their way to stand out among the people. 41. The best title fo
52、r this passage would be _. A. Role of Women and Minorities in Management B. The Importance of Being Visible C. Job Performance and Advancement D. Sex and Career Success42. According to the passage, the underlined sentence “things formerly judged to be best left unsaid” in the first paragraph probabl
53、y refers to _. A. criticisms that cause everyones experience B. the tendencies that help the newcomers to see office matters with a fresh eye C. the opinions which are in conflict with the established beliefs D. the ideas which usually come up with new ways of management in the organization43. We ca
54、n learn from the passage that the most important factor to achieve success in ones career is to _. A. let your bosses know how good you are B. establish a favorable image to the people around you C. work as a consultant to your bosses D. well perform your tasks given by your bosses44. The reason why
55、 women and blacks make themselves less visible is that they _. A. know that someone in authority will reach down and give them a promotion B. want to give people the impression that they work under false beliefs C. believe they can get promoted by their sex or color D. dont want people to think that
56、 their promotions were due to sex or color45. In the authors opinion, Colemans beliefs are _.

78、t of view, the advantages of group buying are obvious. For one thing, manufacturers can sell goods on a large scale and reduce marketing expense. For another, by cooperating with each other we shoppers can buy whatever we want without going out and get the most satisfactory goods at the lowest price

It was a very nice experience.As for suggestions for group buying, firstly, you should carefully read the advertisements and the comments from other customers. Secondly, buy with a clear purpose no matter how cheap it is. Thirdly, it is better to shop on famous and reliable websites to avoid being cheated by some cheating websites.欢迎广大教师踊跃来稿，稿酬丰厚。
