Complete the following statements with words or expressions from the box。 Use their proper forms. 1. College seniors are about to emerge from the nurturing confines of academia to face the real world. They can finally go about getting an education。 2。 Despite your schools commitment to diversity, you probably have found that real diversity was actually nowhere to be found on campus。 Only after you graduate from college can you really benefit from diversity。 3. Reading separates the leaders from the followers, the real achievers from the rest of the crowd. But it is only after college that you can read just for the enjoyment of reading. Back at college， reading was associated with bland textbooks and propaganda。 4。 Now that youre leaving college， youre going to have to choose reality over theory。 In other words， youll have to become a(n） realist, because what matters now is what works in practice， not in theory. 5. A lot of self-esteem training you got through school was an exercise in wishful thinking。 You feel great about yourself， but you have to figure out what youre truly good at and go for it。 If you dont wind up with the job of your dreams, dont sweat it。 Your career may take a number of twists and turns, and along the way, youll find something that matches your talent.

They yearn for it, but hardly anyone regards love as an art which needs to be learned about。 2。This mistaken idea is based on several premises. The first is that most people see love primarily as a problem of how to be loved, rather than that of loving。 3。The second premise behind this attitude is the assumption that to love is simple, but to find the right object to love is difficult. This attitude is actually has several deep-rooted reasons concerning the development of modern society. 4。The third error leading to the wrong idea is that people often confuse the initial excitement of falling into love and the permanent state of standing in love。 They dont know that love is what is left over when passion has burned away。 5.We should face up to the fact that love is an art。 To learn an art, we should not only grasp theoretical knowledge but have a lot of practice. Besides, we should consider the mastery of the art to be more important than any thing else such as money， success, prestige and power. Part II. Reading for Pleasure 1。 F 2。 F 3。 T 4. F 5. F 6。 T 7.

Summary 1. The Mortons were in a park one day， enjoying the lateafternoon sun。 2. Mrs. Morton watched contentedly while her husband was reading the Times Magazine and her son， Larry， was playing in the sandbox。 3。 Meanwhile， another man and his son, Joe， who was about Larrys age， were also enjoying themselves nearby。 4。 Joe suddenly threw a(n) spadeful of sand at Larry。 5。 Mrs. Morton had always wanted her son to learn to fight his own battles， so she just ordered Joe to stop it instead of punishing him. 6。 But, unexpectedly, Joes father insisted that it was a（n) public sandbox and that Joe could continue to throw wall he wanted. 7。 Mr. Morton, a college teacher who was rarely angry， tried to argue with Joes father with his usual reasonableness but failed。 He thought it wouldnt have proved anything if they had a fight。 8。 Finally， Mr. Morton and his wife had to pull their crying son out of the playground。 9.

It means the way in which people express their fear。 In most cases, it is not a verbal expression， but an action such as hammering down the door locks of the car， crossing to the other side of the street rather than passing the author in a deserted street.3。 Because in the place where he grew up, there were a lot of gang warfare, street knifings, and murders， and he was not one of the bad boys.4。 He gradually learns to smother the rage and make himself seem less threatening.5. He believes that whistling melodies from famous composes like Beethoven and Vivaldi can reduce the tension， because people know that a mugger will not do that.Part III. Homework Passage 1 1.

Summary 1. In the 1950s， the only sort of perfect family we knew from the TV programs was characterized by a working father, a stayathome mother， three lovely children and a beautiful garden. 2. Back then， people stayed married forever。 They made a bargain not to question or think about people who lived differently in any way. 3. However, my parents got divorced at a time when divorce was very uncommon。 4. My mother did something different it was she who took the trash cans to the curb on Monday nights, which was supposed to be a job for fathers in the neighborhood. 5. Besides taking good care of us, my mother also worked for the Department of Social Services， a world in which the simple rules of the suburbs did not apply. 6. My mother visited poor houses and counseled women who could not make their own choices. 7. To my mother， parents should not neglect their children。 8。 My mother never judged who was a fit mother on the basis of things like a clean floor， an unbalanced meal and so on. These were only standards set then by good citizens for women and children。 9. Although I come from a divorced family， I never felt that I lacked for parental love. 10。 Now I have children of my own， and I have come to realize that women alone can manage their families, and love is the only standard we can use to judge whether a family is good or not.

Many people in the U.S. turn the page on their marriage out of an American optimism without considering the consequences of divorce。 2。 From time to time， something surfaces in the American culture and grabs people by the collar， bringing home to them the negative effects of divorce。 3。 By and large, divorce is not really on the American radar screens。 In other words， it has not alarmed people. 4. In the past few decades， though numbers of divorce rates from both the U。S。 Census Bureau and the National Center for Health Statistics are staggering, there is still no sense of national crisis。 5。 The personal stories of Tommy Burrows indicate that divorce cannot be trouble-free for children， and the perfect divorce is either a myth or a self-delusion。 6. In the past, many couples， though quarrelling constantly， would stay together for the sake of their children。 Besides， social stigma also exerted a tempering influence。 But now they tend to think more about themselves， believing that their kids will also benefit. 7。 The fact that the most important emotional structure in the childs lifethe parents marriage-ends in failure becomes forever embedded in that childs history。 8. People on the verge of divorce should seek some form of counseling from marital experts instead of getting feedback from friends they hang out with， and they should keep in mind that like a successful marriage， a successful divorce takes hard work. Part II. Reading for Pleasure I。 Answer the following questions. 1. Because it was a second marriage for both of them， and the couple was less concerned with finding time alone than with building ties together， so they chose to take their children on their honey moon。2. The biggest challenge is creating an instant family.3。 The Website is devoted to secondmarriage issues and etiquette.4. They provide people with travelplanning, send clients to familyfriendly places， help organize wedding ceremonies that involve children, provide butler services， kid-friendly food， interesting activities, and babysitting when mom and dad want privacy。5. For blended families, unlike nuclear ones, conflicts of loyalty between the blood bond and the sexual bond underlie everything. Part III. Homework Passage 11。 F 2。 T 3. F 4。 T 5. T Passage 26.
