A
When women sit together to watch a movie on TV, they usually talk about a variety of
subjects, including children, men, careers and what' s happening in their lives. When groups of
men and women watch a movie together, the men usually end up telling the women to shut up.
Men can either talk or watch the screen -- they can' t do both -- and they don' t understand that
women can. Besides, women consider that the point of all getting together is to have a good time
and develop relationships -- not just to sit there like couch potatoes staring at the screen.
During the ad breaks, a man often asks a woman to explain the plot and tell him where the
relationship between the characters is going. He is unable, unlike women, to read the subtle body
language signals that reveal how the characters are feeling emotionally. Since women originally
spent their days with the other women and children in the group, they developed the ability to
communicate successfully in order to maintain relationships. For a woman, speech continues to
have such a clear purpose: to build relationships and make friends. For men, to talk is to relate the
facts.
Men see the telephone as a communication tool for sending facts and information to other
people, but a woman sees it as a means of bonding. A woman can spend two weeks on vacation
with her girlfriend and, when she returns home, telephone the same girlfriend and talk for another
two hours.
There is no convincing evidence that social conditioning, the fact that girls' mothers talked
them more, is the reason why girls talk more than boys. Psychiatrist Dr Michael Lewis, author
Social Behaviour and Language Acquisition, conducted experiments that found mothers talked
to and looked at, baby girls more often than baby boys. Scientific evidence shows parents res the
brain bias of their children. Since a girl' s brain is better organized to send and receive speech ,
we therefore talk to them more. Consequently, mothers who try to talk to their sons are
usually pointed to receive only short grunts in reply.

A. are afraid of awkward silence with their families and friends
B. can both talk and watch the screen at the Same time
C. think they can have a good time and develop relationships

A. experience the happy time again B. keep a close tie with her
C. recommend her a new scenic spot D. remind her of something forgotten
3. What does the author want to tell us most?
A. Women' s brains are better organized for language and communication
B. Women love to talk because they are more sociable than men.
C. Men do not like talking because they rely more on facts.
D. Social conditioning is not the reason why women love talking.
4. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Women Are Socially Trained to Talk B. Talking Maintains Relationships
C, Women Love to Talk D. Men Talk Differently from Women
B
Have you ever noticed the colour of the water in a river or stream after a heavy rainfall?
What do you think caused this change in colour? It is soil that has been washed into the river from
the riverbank or from the nearby fields.
Components of Soft
Soil is made up of a number of layers,each having its own distinctive colour and texture.The
upper layer is known as the litter.It acts like a blanket.limiting temperature changes and reducing
water loss.The topsoil layer is made up of small particles of rock mixed with rotten plant and
animal matter called humus,which is black and gives the topsoil its dark colour.This layer is
usually rich in nutrients,oxygen,and water.Below the topsoil is the subsoil,a layer that contains
more stones mixed with only small amounts of organic matter.This layer is lighter in colour
because of the lack of humus.Beneath the soil lies a layer of bedrock.
Soil forms from the bottom up.Over time bedrock is attacked by rain, wind,frost, and
snow.It is gradually broken down into smaller particles in a process called weathering.Plants
begin to grow,and rotten materials enrich the topsoil.Most of the soil in Eastern Canada.for
example.Was formed from weathered rock that was exposed when the ice disappeared l2.000
years ago.
Water Beneath the Soil
Surface water collects and flows above the ground in lakes.ponds.and rivers.Once in the
soil or rock,it is called groundwater.Gravity pulls groundwater through the soil in a process
called percolation(渗透).Eventually the water reaches a layer called the water table.Under this
is bedrock through which water cannot percolate.
As water percolates downward,it dissolves organic matter and minerals from the soil and
carries them to deeper layers.This causes a serious problem because plants require these nutrients
for growth.
Soil pH
Soil can be acidic.neutral.or basic.The pH of the soil is determined by the nature of the rock
from which it was formed.and by the nature of the plants that grow and rot in it.
The acidity of rain and snow can lower the pH of the groundwater that enters the soil.By
burning fossil fuels such as coal,oil and gasoline,humans have been contributing to higher levels
of acidity in many soils.When fossil fuels are burned.gases are released into the air and then fall
back to earth as acid rain .Acid soil increases the problem of carrying nutrients to lower soil
levels.As nutrients are removed,soil is less fertile.Plants grow more slowly in acidic soil,and
also become easily attacked by diseases.
5.The layer of soil that provides necessary nutrients for plant growth is called.
A.1itter B.topsoil C.humus D.subsoil
6.According to the text.which of the following is NOT true?
A.Soil forms from weathered rock on the earth surface.
B.The deeper layer of soil is darker in colour than the surface soil.
C.Air pollution is partially responsible for acid soil.
D.Groundwater tends to carry away nutrients for plant growth.
7.We can infer from the passage that the water table lies .
A.between the topsoil layer and the subsoil layer
B.in the subsoil layer above bedrock
C.between the subsoil layer and bedrock
D.in the bedrock layer beneath the subsoil
8 . The underlined word “dissolve” is used to express the idea that organic matter and
minerals from soil are .
A.rushed away into the river
B.cleaned and purified by water
C.destroyed and carried away by water
D.mixed with water and become part of it

Fang Tong is 34 years old, an actor, director and teacher of Beijing Opera Theatre. Most of
his students are from other part of China and have come to Beijing at a very young age of sixteen
or seventeen. He hopes create an environment for his students that it is much more relaxing than
the one he used to study in. He thought that an actor should relax himself when performing. Yet
his students deep respect him and he never needs to raise his voice in order to be hearing. For his
opinion, actors should go on even when they feel they have made a mistake in their performances
because the moment is already gone but people can never be back to it. . . So art is always
changing and developing.
