Once when I returned in tears from a Saturday baseball game, it was Steve who took the time to ask me what happened. When I explained that my baseball had soared through Mrs. Holts basement window, breaking the glass with a crash, Steve encouraged me to confess to her. After all, I should have been playing in the park down Fifth Street and not in the path between buildings. Although my knees knocked as I explained to Mrs. Holt, I offered to pay for the window from my pocket money if she would return my ball.I also learned from Steve that personal property is a sacred thing. After I found a shiny silver pen in my fifth-grade classroom, I wanted to keep it, but Steve explained that it might be important to someone else although it had little value. He reminded me of how much Id hate to lose to someone else the small dog my father carved from a piece of cheap wood. I returned the pen to my teacher, Mrs. Davids, and still remembered the smell of her perfume as she patted me on the shoulder.Yet of all the instructions Steve gave me, his respect for life is the most impressive in my mind. When I was twelve, I killed an old brown sparrow in the yard with a BB gun. Excited with my accuracy, I screamed to Steve to come from the house to take a look. I shall never forget the way he stood for a long moment and stared at the bird on the ground. Then in a dead, quiet voice, he asked, “Did it hurt you first, Mark?” I didnt know what to answer. He continued with his eyes firm, “The only time you should ever think of hurting a living thing is if it hurts you first. And then you think a long, long time.” I really felt terrible then, but that moment stands out as the most important lesson my brother taught me.46. What is the main subject of the passage?A. The relationship between Mark and Steve.B. The important lesson Mark learned in school.C. Steves important role in Marks growing process.D. Mark and Steves respect for living things.47. In the story about the pen, which of the following lessons did Steve teach his brother? A. Respect for personal property.B. Respect for life. C. Sympathy for people with problems.D. The value of honesty.48. According to the writer, which was the most important lesson Steve taught his young brother? A. Respect for living things.B. Responsibility for ones actions. C. The value of honesty.D. Care for the property of others.49. The underlined word “knocked” in the second paragraph means_. A. tapped B. beat C. struck D. trembled50. From the passage, we can infer the following statements EXCEPT that_. A. Mark benefited a lot from Steve after their father passed away B. Mark was not as excellent as his elder brother Steve C. The small wood dog carved by his father meant a lot to Mark D. Mark used to be a naughty boy in his childhoodBSpecialists say it is not easy to get used to life in a new culture. “Culture shock” is the term these specialists use when talking about the feelings that people have in a new environment. There are three stages of culture shock, say the specialists. In the first stage, the newcomers like their new environment. Then, when the fresh experience dies, they begin to hate the city, the country, the people, and everything else. In the last stage, the newcomers begin to adjust to their surroundings and, as a result, enjoy their life more.There are some obvious factors in culture shock. The weather may be unpleasant. The customs may be different. The public service systemsthe telephones, post office, or transportationmay be difficult to work out. The simplest things seem to be big problems. The language may be difficult.Who feels culture shock? Everyone does in this way or that. But culture shock surprises most people. Very often the people having the worst culture shock are those who never had any difficulties in their own community. Coming to a new country, these people find they do not have the same established positions. They find themselves without any identity. They have to build a new self-image.Culture shock gives rise to a feeling of disorientation (迷失方向). This feeling may be homesickness. When homesick, people feel like staying inside all the time. They want to protect themselves from the strange environment, and create an escape inside their room for a sense of security. This escape does solve the problem of culture shock for the short term, but it does nothing to make the person familiar with the culture. Getting to know the new environment and gaining experience these are the long-term solutions to the problem of culture shock.51. When people move to a new country, they _.A. will get used to their new surroundings with difficultyB. have well prepared for the new surroundingsC. will get used to the culture of the country quicklyD. will never be familiar with the culture of the country52.

When people are homesick, they tend to _.A. find some people to talk toB. go outside to have a walkC. visit their friends far awayD. stay indoors all the time55. The writer tells us that the best way to overcome culture shock is to _.A. protect ourselves from unfamiliar environmentB. develop a strange sense of self-protectionC. get familiar with new cultureD. return to our own countryCLast August, Joe and Mary Mahoney began looking at colleges for their 17-year-old daughter. With a checklist of requirements in hand, the Dallas family looked around the country visiting half a dozen schools. They tried to find a university that offered the teenagers intended major, one located near a large city, and a campus where their daughter would be safe.“The safety issue is a big one,” says Joe Mahoney, who quickly discovered he wasnt alone in his worries. On campus tours other parents voiced similar concerns, and the same question was always asked: “What about crime?” But when college officials always gave the same answer- “Thats not a problem here,”- Mahoney began to feel uneasy.“No crime whatsoever?” comments Mahoney today. “I just dont buy it.” Nor should he: in 1999 the U.S. Department of Education had reports of nearly 400,000 serious crimes on or around our campuses. “Parents need to understand that times have changed since they went to college,” says David Nichols, author of Creating a Safe Campus. “Campus crime mirrors the rest of the nation.”But getting accurate information isnt easy. Colleges must report crime data by law, but some hold back for
