2、r example; it sold more than 10 million copies and was her biggest hit. Born in Claremore, Oklahoma, a small town near Tulsa, Page originally dreamed of a career in commercial art.

4、“With My Eyes Wide Open, Im Dreaming,” and “Old Cape Cod”.Her last hit was “HushHush, Sweet Charlotte,” recorded for the Bette Davis movie of the same name. And then, there was “Doggie In The Window.” The creative tune was a huge hit, but with its repeated barking sounds and silly lyrics(歌词), the so
5、ng has been used by many people as an example of all that was wrong with pop music in the early 1950s.Throughout the 1950s, Patti Page made regular appearances on television variety shows and in 1957 she was chosen to host the musical program, “The Big Record.” The following year, Page appeared in h

11、as not only a successful singer but also a successful actressBAmmie Reddick from East Kilbride, Lanarkshire, was only 18 months old when she had the accident that had scarred(留下创伤) her for life. The curious child reached up to grab the wire of a hot kettle in the family kitchen and poured boiling wa
12、ter over her tiny infant frame.Her mother Ruby turned round and, seeing Ammie horribly burnt, called an ambulance which rushed her daughter to a nearby hospital. Twenty percent of Ammies body had been burned and all of her burns were third-degree. There, using tissue taken from unburned areas of Amm
13、ies body, doctors performed complex skin transplants to close her wounds and control her injuries, an operation that took about six hours. Over the next 16 years, Ammie underwent 12 more operations to repair her body.When she started school at Maxwelton Primary at age 4, other pupils made cruel comm
14、ents or simply wouldnt play with her. “I was the only burned child in the street, the class and the school,” she recalled, “some children refused to become friends because of that.”Today, aged 17, Ammie can only ever remember being a burned person with scars; pain is a permanent part of her body. Sh

20、remember - what used to lie in store for us on our return to school from the holidays. The trees in the school yard would be in full leaf again and the old leaves would be lying around like a muddy sea of leaves.“Get that all swept up!” the headmaster would tell us. “I want the whole place cleaned u
21、p, at once!” There was enough work there, to last over a week. Especially since the only tools with which we were provided were our hands, our fingers, our nails. “Now see that its done properly, and be quick about it,” the headmaster would say to the older pupils, “or youll have to answer for it!”S
22、o at an order from the older boys we would all line up like peanuts about to cut and gather in crops. If the work was not going as quickly as the headmaster expected, the big boys, instead of giving us a helping hand, used to find it simpler to beat us with branches pulled from the trees. In order t
23、o avoid these blows, we used to bribe(贿赂) the older boys with the juicy cakes we used to bring for our midday meal. And if we happened to have any money on us, the coins changed hands at once. If we did not do this, if we were afraid of going home with an empty stomach or an empty purse, the blows w
24、ere redoubled. They hit us so violently and with such evil enjoyment that even a deaf and dumb person would have realized that we were being whipped not so much to make us work harder, but rather to beat us into a state of obedience(服从) in which we would be only too glad to give up our food and mone
25、y.Occasionally one of us, worn out by such calculated cruelty, would have the courage to complain to the headmaster. He would of course be very angry, but the punishment he gave the older boys was always very smallnothing compared to what they had done to us. And the fact is that however much we com
26、plained, our situation did not improve in the slightest. Perhaps we should have let our parents know what was going on, but somehow we never dreamed of doing so; I dont know whether it was loyalty or pride that kept us silent, but I can see now that we were foolish to keep quiet about it, for such b
27、eating were completely foreign to our nature.11. The statement “my hands and my fingers still remember” (Para.1) means that_.A. the authors hands were severely injured in the cleaning upB. the author seldom did such hard work as the cleaning upC. the author was bullied by the big boys in the cleanin
28、g upD. the authors hands were his only tool for the cleaning12. The headmaster would tell the students to clean up the school yard at the beginning of the term because_.A. he was too lazy B. there were many fallen leaves on the groundC. the school yard were covered with mud D. the students didnt fin
29、ish their homework13. The headmaster asked the older boys to_.A. beat those who worked slowly B. treat the small boys as peanutsC. take charge of the process of the cleaning D. do the cleaning all by themselves14. According to Para. 3, if the author had any money on him, he most probably_.A. gave it
30、 to the big boys so as to please them B. gave it as a bride to the headmasterC. spent it all on his midday meal D. spent it buying midday meals for the big boys15. When receiving complaints, the headmaster would deal with the big boys by means of _.A. slight punishment B. harsh criticism C. complete
31、 indifference D. good beatingDThe malls were filled with people seeking gifts for their loved ones. Some of the malls remained open around the clock, partly to satisfy our needs to buy gifts.Behind the materialistic aspect of shopping for gifts lies the idea of caring, being attentive to the desires
32、 of special people in our lives. However, to use a well-worn play on words: it is our presence, not our presents, that truly counts. Many of us, unfortunately, can be so inattentive, even in the presence of our loved ones, that we might as well not be there at all.Attention is one of the greatest gi
33、fts we can give each other. Companies around the globe spend billions every year on advertising to catch our attention for just a short moment at a time. Whole industries media, entertainment, education rely on the precious gift of our attention for their continued existence. A baby lacking attentio
34、n for a long time is likely to be psychologically unhealthy.In earlier times, both diet and attention could be left unregulated(没人管的)without major cause for concern. There were natural checks and balances: limited availability of food meant few got fat, for example. Similarly, in bygone times we mig
35、ht have spent a few hours communicating with the village storyteller, today, watching an entire TV series, while speaking to nobody, is common. In traditional societies, with smaller population, everyone would get a fair deal of attention. On many issues we might go to see Grandma or Grandpa; now we
36、 have Google and Wikipedia.“She just wants attention.” people tend to think little of those doing things simply for attention. But the truth is that human beings need attention, and giving attention to each other is, to a large extent, what human civilization is based upon. This perhaps explains the
37、 runaway success(一举成功)of social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook. While we use such sites for “micro blogging”, “idea voicing” and “status updates” the reality is that we are often doing no more or less than fulfilling our basic human drive for attention exchange.I friend you, you frien
38、d me, I retweet you, you retweet me. The charming case with which we can now get and give attention is why many people appear overly attached to their smartphones. It is also a vicious(恶性)circle. As ever more people are busy exchanging attention online, there is increasingly less attention to be pai
39、d in the real world, which forces more people to seek their attention exchange online, or else risk attention-starvation.The very nature of attention exchange is being rapidly transformed, and there is a danger that some of us will develop unhealthy practices. Just as eating red meat every day is a
40、bad idea, so it is with too much attention exchange. The biological consequences of our technological advancement in food production are highly visible; heart disease, diabetes and obesity. The consequences of our transformed attention exchanges will be psychological and social, and so may take long
41、er to identify, but they will be equally damaging.Face-to-face attention is becoming rarer, and therefore more valuable. In a sense it is priceless. And it is a gift that can be given all-year-round.16. In the first two paragraphs the author .A. offers advice to attention givers B. analyses the pres
42、ent problemsC. states the necessity of presents D. puts forward his point of view17. Attention exchange was not a major concern in traditional societies because of .A. limited availability of food B. natural checks and balancesC. a much smaller population D. the guidance from old people18. What can
43、we infer from Paragraph 6-7?A. More people will risk attention-starvation in future.B. The nature of attention exchange is rarely changed.C. Technological advancement contributes to all diseases.D. Transformed attention exchanges do harm to society.19.The writers purpose for writing the passage is t

Transformedattentionexchangesdoharmtosociety.EThe Best Ways to Offer Support and EncouragementWhether it is a friend, family member, or coworker, at some time or another somebody will need support and encouragement. This could be the
46、result of a disappointing change in life, a health change or other similar challenges. 21 Even if you do not think that you have the ability to offer the proper support and encouragement, your willingness to be there and to listen may be enough.Each situation is different, and each would require dif
47、ferent levels of both support and encouragement. 22 Helping keep up someones spirits when they are feeling helpless just by letting them know you are there, can make a serious difference in their lives. 来源:学科网 23 For people in this situation, often a telephone call, or dropping in to say “hello” is
48、more than enough. You may not feel that you are doing much of anything, but to the person who is feeling isolated the effort you take to stop and see them, or call them can make a big difference. For someone who has recently lost a job, you may be able to offer support by helping them network effect
49、ively. Or, you may be able to help them craft a new resume, apply for benefits, or a number of other “small” things that may seem insignificant to you, but to them can be a very significant event. 24 However, if you let them know that you are there for them, and make it a point to check in with them
50、 regularly, they may soon feel more comfortable and share them with you. Take for example a person who is suffering with depression. 25 They may not be willing to admit that there is something wrong. However, if you trust your instincts(直觉) and take a little extra care to support and encourage them
51、even in little ways, you can make a huge difference in their overall outlook.A. You know that there is something wrong.B. All too often, people feel isolated and do not know where to turn.C. So you may need support and encouragement to pull through.D. You may not always understand all of the issues
52、going on in someones life.E. In such cases, it is natural for you to reach out and offer your support and encouragement.F. You know better than anyone the best ways to support and encourage someone who is going through a difficult time.G. The support you offer could be as simple as helping with simp
