听力原文: "Loving a child is a circular business. The more you give, the more you get, the more you went to give." Penelope Leach once said. What she said proves to be true of my blooded family. I was born in 1931. As the youngest of six children, I learned to share my parents' love. Raising six children during the difficult times of the Great Depression took its toll on my parents' relationship and resulted in their divorce when I was 18 years old. Daddy never had very close relationships with his children and drifted even farther away from us after the divorce.
Several years later a wonderful woman came into his life, and they were married. She had two sons, one of them still at home. Under her influence, we became a "blended family" and a good relationship developed between the two families. She always treated us as if we were her own children. It was because of our other mother—Daddy's second wife-that he became closer to his own children. They shared over twenty-five years together before our father passed away. At the time of his death, the question came up of my mother—Daddy's first wife—attending his funeral. I will never forget the unconditional love shown by my stepmother when I asked her if she would object to Mother attending Daddy's funeral. Without giving it a second thought, she immediately replied, "Of course not, Honey. She's the mother of my children."

A.Family violence.
B.The Great Depression.
C.Her father's disloyalty.
D.Her mother's bad temper.

One day a farmer went out for a walk with his son. The farmer put on a pair of wrong shoes, one with a thick sole(鞋底) and the other with a thin one. So as he began to walk, he felt very uncomfortable(不舒服). When he was just out of the house, he turned to his son and said, "Why should one of my legs be longer than the other today?"
The son looked at his father's legs carefully as he was walking and then laughed, "Oh, no, Daddy, your legs are all right. You have put on the wrong shoes."
The farmer was very happy to hear that and said to himself, "What a clever son I have got!" Then he asked his son to go back and get the other pair of shoes for him. The farmer had only two pairs of shoes.
When the son ran back to the house, he found that the other pair was also a pair of wrong shoes.
He had to return to his father with nothing in his hands and said out of breath (上气不接下气), " It' s no use changing them, Daddy! The shoes at home were not a pair, either!"

But in Japan, the child will tell you "My daddy works for Mitsubishi" or for "Hitachi". But you will have no idea whether the father is the president of Hitachi or a worker of Hitachi.
In Japan, the most important thing is what organization you work for. This becomes very significant when you try to analyze the direction-taking or decision-making process. At least, it explains the greater job stability in Japan, in contrast to the greater job mobility in America.
While people differ in many ways, such differences are neither superior nor inferior to each other. A particular pattern of management behavior. develops from a complexity of unique cultural factors -- and will only work within a given culture.
For example, in any approach to a problem and in any negotiations in Japan, there is the "you to you" approach, as distinguished from the Western "i to you" approach.
The difference is this: in "I to you" , both sides present their arguments straight from their own point of view -- they state what they want and what they expect to get, Thus, a confrontation (对立)situation is set up, and Westerners are very skillful in dealing with this.
The "you to you" approach practiced in Japan is based on each side -- automatically and often unconsciously -- trying to understand the other person's point of view, and for the purpose of the discussion actually declaring this understanding. Thus, the direction of the meeting is a mutual attempt at minimizing confrontation and achieving harmony.
When asking about your occupation, Japanese emphasize ______.
A.what occupation you are engaged in
B.what company you are employed by
C.whether your job is stable
D.whether you earn a good salary
The Kind of Work Daddy Does
It is not surprising that modem children tend to look blank and dispirited when informed that they will someday have to "go to work and make a living. "The fact is they cannot visualiave what work is in corporate America.
Not so long ago, when a parent said he was off to work, the child knew very well what was about to happen. His parent was going to make something or fix something, The parent could take his offspring to his place of business and let him watch while he repaired a car or built a table.
When a child asked," What kind of work do you do, Daddy?" his father could answer in terms that a child could come to grips with. "I fix steam engines. ""I make horse collars."
Well, a few fathers still fix engines and build things, but most do not. Nowadays, most fathers sit in glass buildings performing tasks that are absolutely incomprehensible to children. Tile answers they gave when asked, "What kind of work do you do, Daddy? "are likely to be very puzzling to the child.
"I sell space. ""I do market research. ""I am a data processor. ""I am in public relations. ""I am a systems analyst. "Such explanations must seem nonsense to a child. How can he possibly imagine anyone analyzing a system or researching a market?
Even grown men who do market research have trouble visualizing what a public relations man does with his day, and it is a safe bet that the average systems analyst is as puzzled about what a space saleman does at the shop as the average space salesman is about the tools needed to analyze a system.
In the common everyday job, nothing is made any more. Things are now made by machines. Very little is repaired. The machines that make things make them in such a fashion that they will quickly fall apart in such a way that repairs will be too expensive. Thus the buyer is encouraged to throw the thing away and buy a new one. In effect, the machines are making junk.
The handful of people remotely associated with these machines can, of course, tell thier inquisitive children" Daddy makes junk. "Most of the work force, however, is too remote from junk production to sense any contribution to the industry. What do these people do?
Consider the typical twelve - story glass building in the typical American city. Nothing is being made in this building and nothing is being repaired, including the building itself. Constructed as a piece of junk, the building will be discarded when it wears out , and another piece of junk will be set in its place.
Still, the building is filled with people who think of themselves as working. At any given moment during the day perhaps one - third of them will be talking into telephones. Most of these conversations will be about paper for paper is what occupies nearly everyone in this building.
Some jobs in the building require men to fill paper with words. There are persons who type neatly on paper and persons who read paper and jot notes in the margins. Some persons make copies of paper and other persons deliver paper. There are persons who file paper and persons who file paper.
Some persons mail paper. Some persons telephone other persons and ask that paper be sent to them. Others telephone to ascertain the whereabout of paper. Some persons confer about paper. In the grandest offices, men approve of some paper and disapprove of other paper.
The elevators are filled throughout the day with young men carrying paper from floor to floor and with vital men carrying paper to be discussed with other vital men.
What is a child to make of all this? His father may be so important that he lunches with other men about paper. Suppose he brings his son to work to give the boy some idea of what work is all about. What does the boy see happening?
His father c

听力原文:M: Will there be enough money for me to go abroad?
W: If you want to do this, you are going to need to get a scholarship or financial aid. I will continue working but until your father gets another job, money is going to be pretty tight. We don't want to go bankrupt because of this!
M: I'll see what I can do. I can probably find a second job.
W: You'll need more than a second job, honey. Part-time jobs will not pay enough for you to pay your tuition and room and board. How about a scholarship?
M: There's no way that I can get a scholarship -- my grades aren't good enough. I'm failing my business course. Why did I let daddy convince me to get a business degree?
W: You know, your father just wanted the best for you. Don't blame him for just wanting to help you.
M: Let me see what I can do. I'll talk with some of my friends to see if they have any ideas.
W: Alice? I'm sorry, honey. I know that you wanted to go abroad this summer, but I think you'd better change your plans until we get back on our feet again.
M: Yeah, I know. I'll call you when I figure out something.

1 "Love Story" is a song performed by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift. Like most of Swift's songs, this was based on a real experience. As a teenager, she had an argument with her parents over a boy - they thought he was a creep, and Taylor thought it was love. She told 60 Minutes that he was, indeed, a creep, but she thought he was amazing at the time. The pre-chorus of the song came into her head: "You were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles, and my daddy said, 'Stay away from Juliet.'" She grabbed her guitar and worked out the chords on her bedroom floor. 2 Taylor added that the song was met with indifference from her record company and her parents, but she fought for it, which she says was a fun experience because she had something to prove. 3 This could be about Swift's relationship with Joe Jonas of the Jonas Brothers, who she dated for much of 2008. The line "Romeo, take me some place we can be alone" relates to how they were never alone due to their popularity. "I sneak out to the garden" is symbolic of how they had to sneak around to have dates due to the paparazzi. 4 The song also talks about Swift's father and his objection to Joe, but Taylor ignored her father's advice and continued to date him until their breakup in October. 5 Swift won video of the year and female video of the year at the 2009 Country Music Television awards for this song's promo. On winning the latter award Swift said, "This is for everybody who still believes in love stories, because I do." This passage mainly talks about a famous song by Taylor Swift. What aspect of the song do you think it mainly addresses?
A、Melody.
B、Rhythm.
C、Lyrics.
D、Structure.
