As my daughter, Nicole, prepares to leave home for college, I’m discovering how hard it is to stay on the 36 side of this line.

The night before the introductory meeting of the university, I had read the course catalog carefully and 43 courses which I thought looked good.

But once a week for four years, Janet Rink came to JayRon’s elementary school to sit with him and help him figure out the words he didn’t know through a program called Every1Reads. Without Rink’s help, JayRon, now a 12-year-old sixth-reader, says there are hundreds of words he might not have learned. “She’s loyal,” JayRon said of Rink, “She’s a good friend. To me, she is like a grandmother.” When Rink retired from her career as a writer, she decided she wanted to start volunteering, and she knew it had to be with children. At first, she organized a group at church to work at a homeless shelter as children’s advocates. After 10 years, it became increasingly hard to get volunteers, so she looked for things she could do independently. She began volunteering with Every1Reads, which takes volunteers into Louisville schools to work one-to-one with students. She also tutors eighth-graders on writing at Nativity Academy, a small private school that JayRon attends. Since 2006, she has worked at The Center for Women and Families, a shelter for victims of domestic violence. Twice a week, Rink goes to the center to work with children staying there playing games and doing art projects with them. “The kids just run to her,” said Janet Tinsley, the center’s volunteer manager. For the children, Rink, 68, said, her visits give them an opportunity to just be kids, playing and enjoying themselves despite the stresses in their lives. “They come from families where they experience violence of fear,” Rink said. “This gives them a chance to explore their creativity.” Rink said the experience of volunteering with children at the center has taught her about the resiliency(恢复)of the human spirit and “the ability to stay joyful.” Rink said she enjoys every minute. “For me, what life should be about is making life easier and better and more fulfilling for other people.” she said. 56. What difficulty did JayRon have? A. He couldn’t understand the meaning of words. B. He couldn’t learn the words by heart. C. He couldn’t read the text fluently. D. He couldn’t write words correctly. 57. What made Rink give up her group work? A. She couldn’t afford to pay for homeless shelters. B. Fewer people would like to be volunteers. C. Fewer and fewer children were homeless. D. Volunteers couldn’t work together in the group. 58. What did Rink learn from her experience with children? A. To achieve what you dream. B. To make life better. C. To be pleased. D. To live an easy life. B Meeting people from another culture can be difficult. From the beginning, people may send the wrong signal (信号). Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship. 　　Different cultures emphasize (强调) the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree. For example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust. Even with people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in "small talk", usually over a glass of tea, before they do any job. In many European countries -- like the UK or France -- people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office. 　　Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in Thailand. I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; instead there was an uncomfortable silence. The people present just stared at me and smiled. After getting to know their ways better, I realized that they thought I was talking too much. In my own culture, we express meaning mainly through words, but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary. 　　Even within Northern Europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly, English and German cultures share similar values; however, Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly. We think that they are rude. In fact, this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly. 　　People from different parts of the world have different values, and sometimes these values are quite against each other. However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural environment will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other. 59. The author mentions his experience in Thailand to show that _________. A. the English prefer to make long speeches B. too many words are of no use C. people from Thailand are quiet and shy by nature D. even talk and silence can be culturally different 60. According to the text, how can people from different cultures understand each other better? A. By sharing different ways of life. B. By accepting different habits. C. By recognizing different values. D. By speaking each other' s languages. 61. What would be the best title for the text? A. Multicultural Environment B. Cross-Cultural Differences C. How to Understand Each Other D. How to Build Up a Relationship C Intelligence Quotient I.Q. stands for “Intelligence Quotient” which is a measure of a person's intelligence found by means of an intelligence test. Before marks gained in such a test can be useful as information about a person, they must be compared with some standard, or norm (规范). It is not enough simply to know that a boy of thirteen has scored, say, ninety marks in a particular test. To know whether he is clever, average or dull, his marks must be compared with the average achieved by other boys of thirteen in that test. In 1906 the psychologist, Alfred Binet (1857--1911), devised the standard by which intelligence has since been assessed. Binet was asked to find a method of selecting all children in the schools of Paris who should be taken out of ordinary classes and put in special classes for defectives（后进生）. The problem made him realize the need for a standard for measuring intelligence, and he hit upon the very simple concept of “mental age”. First of all, he invented a variety of tests and put large numbers of children of different ages through them. He then found at what age each test was passed by the average child. For instance, he found that the average child of seven could count backwards from 20 to 1 and the average child of three could repeat the sentence: “We are going to have a good time in the country.” Billet arranged the various tests in order of difficulty, and used them as a scale against which he could measure every individual. If, for example, a boy aged twelve could only do tests that were passed by the average boy of nine, Binet held that he was three years below average, and that he had a mental age of nine. The concept of mental age provided Binet, and through him, other psychologists, with the required standard. It enabled him to state scores in intelligence tests in terms of a norm merely by subtracting (减去) the “mental” age of a child from his “chronological” age (实际年龄). Then the boy in the example given would be “three years retarded” (迟缓、耽误). Later the “mental ratio” was introduced; that is to say, the ratio of the mental age to the chronological age. Thus a boy of twelve with a mental age of nine has a mental ratio of 0.75. The “mental age” measurement was then replaced by the more famous I.Q (intelligence quotient). The “I.Q.” is the mental ratio multiplied by 100. For example, a boy of twelve with a mental age of nine has an “I.Q.” of 75. Clearly, since the mental age of the average child is equal to the chronological age, the average “I.Q.” is 100. 62. To judge a child’s intelligence, his marks in a test must be compared with marks gained by ____. A. others of the same age B. children of different ages C. a number of children aged thirteen D. the same child at different ages 63. Binet used a large number of children in his tests because he wanted to find out __________. A. who were the most stupid B. the defectives C. what a bright child could do D. a norm 64. The purpose of I.Q. test is to find out __________. A. whether one has the intelligence of thirteen-year-old children B. whether one is tall enough for his age C. whether one is clever, average or dull D. whether one is mature enough for his age D In our culture, the sources of what we call a sense of “mastery”--- feeling important and worthwhile --- and the sources of what we call a sense of “pleasure”--- finding life enjoyable--- are not always the same. Women often are told, “You can't have it all.” Sometimes what the speaker really is saying is “You choose a career, so you can't expect to have closer relationships or a happy family life”, or “You have a wonderful husband and children, so what's all this about wanting a career?” But women need to understand and develop both aspects of well-being, if they have to feel good about themselves. Our study shows that, for women, well-being has two dimensions（二维）. One is mastery, which includes self-esteem, a sense of control over your life, and low levels of anxiety and depression. Mastery is closely related to the “doing” side of life, to work and activity. Pleasure is the other dimension, and it is composed of happiness, satisfaction and optimism. It is tied more closely to the “feeling” side of life. The two are independent of each other. Woman could be high in mastery and low in pleasure, and vice versa（反之亦然）. For example, a woman who has a good job, but whose mother has just died, might be feeling very good about herself and in control of her work life, but the pleasure side could be damaged for a time. The concepts of mastery and pleasure could help us identify the sources of well-being for women, and correct past misunderstandings. In the past, women are encouraged to look only at the feeling side of life as the source of all well-being. But we know that both mastery and pleasure are critical. And mastery seems to be achieved largely through work. In our study, all the groups of employed women rated significantly high in mastery than did women who were not employed. A woman's well-being is enhanced when she takes on multiple roles. At least by middle adulthood, the women who were involved in the combination of roles --- marriage, motherhood, and employment --- were the highest in well-being, in spite of warning about stress and strain. 65. The author's attitude towards women having a career is __________. A. positive B. critical C. neutral (中立) D. realistic 66. One can conclude from the passage that if a woman takes on several social roles, __________. A. it will be easier for her to overcome stress and strain B. she will be more successful in her career C. the chances of getting promoted will be greater D. her life will be richer and more meaningful 67. The most appropriate title for the passage would be __________. A. The Well-Being of Career Women B. Two Aspects of Women's Well-Being C. Sources of Mastery and Pleasure D. Multiple Roles of Women in Society E As I walked across the campus of Pittsburgh’s Carnegie Mellon University, I came upon a table filled with young people chatting and enjoying the fine weather. 68 Trilogy, an Austin, Texas -based software company, had a reputation for recruiting （招聘） our top students. I walked over to the table. “Are you guys here to recruit?” I asked. “No,” they replied firmly. “We're not recruiters. We're just hanging out with friends.” How interesting, I thought. They’ve come to campus on a workday, all the way from Austin, just to hang out with friends. I noticed one member of the group sitting on the grass, having multicolored hair, full-body tattoos, and multiple holes in his ears. 69 But as I would later learn, he was a gifted student who had inked the highest-paying deal in the history of their departments. What a change from my own college days, when students would put on their dressy clothes and carefully hide their personalities to prove that they could fit in with the company. 70 In
