The first time I remember noticing the crossing guard was when he waved to me as I drove my son to school. He presented me with a puzzle – all because he waved to me like someone does on seeing a close friend. A big, bright smile accompanied his wave. For the next few days I tried to study his face to see if I knew him. I didn’t. Perhaps he had mistaken me for someone else. By the time I contented myself with the conclusion that he and I were strangers, we were greeting each other warmly every morning like old friends. Then one day the mystery was solved. As I approached the school he was standing in the middle of the road holding out his stop sign. I was in line behind four cars. Once the kids had reached the safety of the sidewalk, he lowered his sign and let the cars through. To the first he waved and smiled in just the same way he had done to me over the last few days. The kids already had the window down and were happily waving their reply. The second car got the same greeting from the crossing guard, and the driver, a stiff-looking businessman, gave a brief, almost awkward wave back. Each following car of kids on their way to school responded more heartily. Every morning I continued to watch the man with interest. So far I haven’t seen anyone fail to wave back. I find it interesting that one person can make such a difference to so many people’s lives by doing one simple thing like waving and smiling warmly. His cheerfulness armed the start of my day. With a friendly wave and smiling face he had changed the feelings of the whole neighborhood.

我第一次注意到这位交通协管员，是在我开车送儿子上学时他向我挥手致意的时候。他让我心生疑惑——因为他挥手的样子，就像人们一见到亲密朋友就会做的那样。他挥手时脸上带着灿烂的笑容。接下来几天，我努力仔细端详他的脸，想看看自己是否认识他。我并不认识他。也许他把我错认成别人了。当我接受了我们本就是陌生人这个结论时，我们却每天早上都像老朋友一样热情地互相打招呼。 后来有一天，这个谜团解开了。当我快到学校时，他正站在路中间举着停车示意牌。我排在四辆车后面。一旦孩子们到达人行道的安全区域，他就放下示意牌，让车辆通行。他对第一辆车挥手并微笑，方式和前几天对我一模一样。孩子们已经摇下窗户，开心地挥手回应。第二辆车也得到了协管员同样的问候，那位神情严肃的司机简短又略显尴尬地挥了挥手。后面每一辆送孩子上学的车，都更热情地做出回应。 每天早上我都饶有兴趣地看着这个人。到目前为止，我从没见过有人不挥手回应他。我觉得很有意思：一个人只靠挥手、微笑这样简单的举动，就能对这么多人的生活产生如此大的影响。他的快乐让我一天的开端充满活力。他用友好的挥手和笑容，改变了整个社区的情绪与氛围。

Societies all over the world name places in similar ways. Quite often there is no official naming ceremony but places tend to be called names as points of reference by people. Then an organized body steps in and gives the place a name. Frequently it happens that a place has two names: One is named by the people and the other by the government. As in many areas, old habits died hard, and the place continues to be called by its unofficial name long after the meaning is lost.

Many roads and places in Singapore (新加坡) are named in order that the pioneers will be remembered by future generations. Thus we have names such as Stamford Road and Raffles Place. This is in keeping with traditions in many countries — in both the West and the East.

Another way of naming places is naming them after other places. Perhaps they were named to promote friendships between the two places or it could be that the people who used to live there were originally from the places that the roads were named after. The mystery is clearer when we see some of the roads named in former British bases. If you step into Selector Airbase you will see Piccadilly Circus — obviously named by some homesick Royal Air Force personnel.

Some places were named after the activities that used to go on at those places. Bras Basah Road is an interesting example, “Bras Basah” means “wet rice” in Malay (马来语). Now why would anyone want to name a road “Wet Rice Road”? The reason is simple. During the pioneering days, wet rice was laid out to dry along this road.

A few roads in Singapore are named by their shapes. There is “Circular Road” for one. Other roads may have part of their names to describe their shapes, like “Paya Lebar Crescent”. This road is called a crescent (月牙) because it begins on the main road, makes a crescent and comes back to join the main road again.

I am a writer. I spend a great deal of my time thinking about the power of language—the way it can evoke an emotion, a visual image, a complex idea, or a simple truth. Language is the tool of my trade. And I use them all—all the Englishes I grew up with.

Born into a Chinese family that had recently arrived in California, I’ve been giving more thought to the kind of English my mother speaks. Like others, I have described it to people as “broken” English. But feel embarrassed to say that. It has always bothered me that I can think of no way to describe it other than “broken”, as if it were damaged and needed to be fixed, as if it lacked a certain wholeness. I’ve heard other terms used, “limited English,” for example. But they seem just as bad, as if everything is limited, including people’s perceptions of the limited English speaker.

I know this for a fact, because when I was growing up, my mother’s “limited” English limited my perception of her. I was ashamed of her English. I believed that her English reflected the quality of what she had to say. That is, because she expressed them imperfectly her thoughts were imperfect. And I had plenty of evidence to support me: the fact that people in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her.

I started writing fiction in 1985. And for reasons I won’t get into today, I began to write stories using all the Englishes I grew up with: the English she used with me, which for lack of a better term might be described as “broken”, and what I imagine to be her translation of her Chinese, her internal language, and for that I sought to preserve the essence, but neither an English nor a Chinese structure. I wanted to catch what language ability tests can never show: her intention, her feelings, the rhythms of her speech and the nature of her thoughts.

Tens of thousands of theatre tickets will be given away to young people next year as part of a government campaign to inspire a lifelong love for theatre.

The plan to offer free seats to people aged between 18 to 26—funded with £2.5 million of taxpayers’ money—was announced yesterday by Andy Burnham, the Culture Secretary. It received a cautious welcome from some in the arts world, who expressed concern that the tickets may not reach the most underprivileged.

The plan comes as West End theatres are enjoying record audiences, thanks largely to musicals teaming up with television talent shows. Attendances reached 13.6 million in 2007, up 10 percent on 2006, itself a record year. Total sales were up 18 percent on 2006 to almost £470 million.

One theatre source criticised the Government’s priorities (优先考虑的事) in funding free tickets when pensioners were struggling to buy food and fuel, saying: “I don’t know why the Government’s wasting money on this. The Young Vic, as The Times reported today, offers excellent performances at cheap prices.”

There was praise for the Government’s plan from Dominic Cooke of the Royal Court Theatre, who said: “I support any move to get young people into theatre, and especially one that aims to do it all over England, not just in London.”

Ninety-five publicly funded theatres could apply for funding under the two-year plan. In return, they will offer free tickets on at least one day each week to 18 to 26-year-olds, first-come, first-served. It is likely to be on Mondays, traditionally a quiet night for the theatre.

Mr. Burnham said: “A young person attending the theatre can find it an exciting experience, and be shaped by physical sensations, particularly warmth and coldness. Classic studies by Harry Harlow, published in 1958, showed monkeys preferred to stay close to a cloth “mother” rather than one made of wire, even when the wire “mother” carried a food bottle. Harlow’s work and later studies have led psychologists to stress the need for warm physical contact from caregivers to help young children grow into healthy adults with normal social skills.

Feelings of “warmth” and “coldness” in social judgments appear to be universal. Although no worldwide study has been done, Bargh says that describing people as “warm” or “cold” is common to many cultures, and studies have found those perceptions influence judgment in dozens of countries.

To test the relationship between physical and psychological warmth, Bargh conducted an experiment which involved 41 college students. A research assistant who was unaware of the study’s hypotheses, handed the students either a hot cup of coffee, or a cold drink, to hold while the researcher filled out a short information form. The drink was then handed back. After that, the students were asked to rate the personality of “Person A” based on a particular description. Those who had briefly held the warm drink regarded Person A as warmer than those who had held the iced drink.

“We are grounded in our physical experiences even when we think abstractly,” says Bargh.

Almost everybody in America will spend a part of his or her life behind a shopping cart (购物手推车). They will, in a lifetime, push the chrome-plated contraptions many miles. But few will know—or even think to ask—who it was that invented them.

Sylvan N. Goldman invented the shopping cart in 1937. At that time he was in the supermarket business. Every day he would see shoppers lugging (吃力地携带) groceries around in baskets they had to carry.

One day Goldman suddenly had the idea of putting baskets on wheels. The wheeled baskets would make shopping much easier for his customers, and would help to attract more business.

On June 4, 1937, Goldman’s first carts were ready for use in his market. He was terribly excited on the morning of that day as customers began arriving. He couldn’t wait to see them using his invention.

But Goldman was disappointed. Most shoppers gave the carts a long look, but hardly anybody would give them a try.

After a while, Goldman decided to ask customers why they weren’t using his carts. “Don’t you think this arm is strong enough to carry a shopping basket?” one shopper replied.

But Goldman wasn’t beaten yet. He knew his carts would be a great success if only he could persuade people to give them a try. To this end, Goldman hired a group of people to push carts around his market and pretend they were shopping! Seeing this, the real customers gradually began copying the phony (假冒的) customers.

As Goldman had hoped, the carts were soon attracting larger and larger numbers of customers to his market. But not only did more people come—those who came bought more. With larger, easier-to-handle baskets, customers unconsciously bought a greater number of items than before.

Today’s shopping carts are five times larger than Goldman’s original model. Perhaps that’s one reason Americans today spend more than five times as much money on food each year as they did before 1937—before the coming of the shopping cart.

答案：B

解析：本题考查时态。根据时间状语for four hours以及后文的Let’s have a rest可知，动作从过去开始，持续到现在，并且还在进行中，符合现在完成进行时的用法，表示动作的持续性；A是现在进行时，不能和时间段连用；C是一般过去时，只表示过去的动作，不体现持续；D是过去完成时，需要有过去的时间点做参照，此处没有。

中文翻译：——你能相信我剪个头发要花30美元吗？——你应该试试我常去的那家理发店，只要15美元。

答案：C

解析：本题考查定语从句。先行词是the barber’s，指代理发店这个地点，从句I go中缺少地点状语，所以用关系副词where引导；as不能引导这种定语从句；which和that是关系代词，在从句中要做主语或宾语，而此处go是不及物动词，不需要宾语，所以排除。

选项词义： A. as 正如；当……时    B. which 哪一个（关系代词）    C. where 在哪里（关系副词）    D. that 那个（关系代词）

中文翻译：天津的传统民间艺术，比如剪纸，正在2010年上海世博会的文化展上展出。

答案：C

解析：本题考查主谓一致和被动语态。主语是Traditional folk arts，是复数，所以谓语动词用复数，排除B和D；同时，民间艺术是“被展出”，所以要用被动语态，排除主动的A选项，所以选C。

选项词义： A. are exhibiting 正在展出（主动，复数）    B. is exhibiting 正在展出（主动，单数）    C. are being exhibited 正在被展出（被动，复数）    D. is being exhibited 正在被展出（被动，单数）

答案：C

解析：本题考查非谓语动词。此处是现在分词做结果状语，表示自然而然的结果，大雨导致洪灾是顺理成章的结果，所以用causing；A是过去分词，表被动，不符合；B是现在分词的完成式，表示动作先于主句发生，不符合；D是不定式，做结果状语表示出乎意料的结果，不符合此处语境。

选项词义： A. caused 导致（过去分词）    B. having caused 已经导致（现在分词完成式）    C. causing 导致（现在分词）    D. to cause 导致（不定式）

Dear Sir or Madam,
I am Li Hua from Class One, Senior Two. I'm writing to apply for the opportunity to teach English at Chenxi Hope School during the summer vacation.

I hold the firm belief that this activity will bring great benefits to both sides. For the students there, it can help them improve their English and broaden their horizons. For me, it will be a precious chance to enrich my social experience and learn to contribute to society.

Besides, I believe I am well qualified for this job. I am an outgoing and easy-going person, which means I can get along well with the kids. I have been learning English for many years and have a good command of spoken English. What's more, I am independent enough to take good care of myself when staying away from home.

If I am lucky enough to be accepted, I have made a detailed plan. First, I will prepare interesting English stories and games to arouse their interest in English. Second, I will help them correct their pronunciation and improve their oral English. I will also encourage them to practice English in daily life.

I really hope I can get this precious chance. I am looking forward to your reply.

Yours Sincerely,
Li Hua
