Dear Vicky,
I live in Aberdeen, in the north of Scotland. My family live in Cornwall, at the other end of the country. My parents are getting old now, and I really want to go and see them this Christmas.

I want to ask for more time off, but I don't get on very well with my boss. A few months ago, he walked into the room and heard some of us saying rude things about him. Since then the atmosphere(气氛)has been very difficult.

第4题：
How often one hears children wishing they were grown up，and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains，and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.
Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities. If a child has good parents，he is well fed，looked after and loved. It is unlikely that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition，life is always presenting new things to the child-things that have lost their，interest for older people because they are too well known. A child finds pleasure in playing in the rain，or in the snow. His first，visit to the seaside is a marvelous adventure. But a child has his pains：he is not so free to do as he wishes as he thinks older people are；he is continually being told what to do and what not to do. Therefore，a child is not happy as he wishes to be.
When the young man starts to earn his own living，he becomes free from the discipline of school and parents；but at the same time he is forced to accept responsibilities. With no one to pay for his food，his clothes，or his room，he has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child，he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents，he may get himself into trouble. If，however，he works hard，goes by the law and has good health，he may feel satisfied in seeing himself make steady progress in his job and in building up for himself his own position in society.
Old age has always been thought of as the worst age to be；but it is not necessary for the old to be unhappy. With old age comes wisdom and the ability to help others with advice wisely given. The old can have the joy of seeing their children making progress in life；they can watch their grandchildren growing up around them；and，perhaps best of all，they can，if their life has been a useful one，feel the happiness of having come through the battle of life safely and of having reached a time when they can lie back and rest，leaving everything to others.
The happiest people should be those who______.
A．face up to difficulties in life
B．hope to be young again
C．enjoy life in different ages
D．wish to be grown up
正确答案：C
解析：见第一段，每一个年龄段有快乐和烦恼，最快乐的人不会浪费他的时间去后悔，而是享受每个午龄段所带给他的。 -

The Mind-Body Connections
Norman Cousins was a famous American magazine editor. In 1964,he returned from an overseas trip
and then became very ill.In the hospital,he had a terrible pain and couldn't move his body.Doctors told
him he had a serious disease called ankylosing spondylitis（强直性脊柱炎）and said he had only 1 chance in
500 of surviving. They gave him powerful drugs,but his condition only got worse.
Cousins had read about a theory that negative emotions can harm your health.He believed that positive
emotions were good for one's health,and he decided to try an experiment.He would fill his days with good
feelings and laughter and see if that might improve his condition.
He left the hospital and moved into a hotel room.There,he got a large supply of funny TV programs and
copies of old Marx Brothers movies and cartoons.He also hired a nurse to read funny stories to him.His plan
was to spend the whole day laughing and thinking about happy things.On his first night in the hotel,Cousins
found that laughing at the movies helped his body produce chemicals that reduced pain.For the first time in
weeks,he could sleep comfortably for a few hours.Every time the pain came back,he watched another
funny movie and laughed until he felt better.
Over time,Cousins was able to measure changes in his body with blood tests.He found that the harmful
chemicals in his body decreased at least 5 percent every time he watched a funny movie.After a short time,
he was able to stop taking all of his medications.Finally his condition improved so much that he could go
back to work.
Cousins later wrote a book about how laughter and happiness helped him to survive a deadly illness.
Many people didn't believe his story and said that his doctors were wrong about his disease.But since then,
research has found that emotions do have a strong effect on physical health,and experiments found that
laughter can help to reduce pain.Scientists today are working to understand the ways that our minds affect
our bodies.Cousins started watching movies because he was bored.
A:Right
B:Wrong
C:Not mentioned答案：B解析：由文章第一段第二句“In 1 964 , he returned from an overseas trip and then became very ill.”可知，Norman Cousins是在一次海外旅行归来之后才生病的，故选B。
由文章第一段倒数第二句中“Doctors told him…he had only 1 chance in 500 of survi-ving.”可知，医生告诉Norman Cousins，他只有1/500的可能生还，这也就意味着他极有可能会 死，故选A。
由文章第一段的最后一句话“They gave him powerful drugs , but his condition only got worse.”可知，医生开的药只让他的情况变得更加糟糕，通过下文的叙述可知，Norman Cousins 的病是经愉悦心情的影响而好转的，故选B。
由文章的第二、三段可知，Norman Cousins之所以看电影是因为他在读过一个消极情绪 影响健康的理论，他决定用切身的实践来验证愉悦的心情能改善健康状况。他看电影是让自 己发笑，保持好心情。
由文章第三段的内容可知，Norman Cousins的计划是花上一整天的时间大笑，想象愉快 的事情；他找很多有趣的电视节目和许多喜剧电影和卡通作品，甚至还请了一位护士给他读滑 稽故事。因此他一天中大部分时间在笑声中度过，故选A。
文中仅仅提及了Norman Cousins用电影和滑稽故事来使自己保持心情愉悦，并未提及 哪一种更为有效，故选C。
由文章最后一段第二句“Many people didn ' t believe his story and said that...”可知，许多 人都不相信Norman Cousins在自己所著的书中提到的经历，故选B。 -

问答题Practice 2 This portrait-gallery of old Etonians is very select: preeminent distinction of birth or merit may win you a place there, or again official connection with the school, which rightly loves to keep up an unbroken panorama of its teachers, and to vivify its annals with the faces and figures of the personalities who carried on its traditions. But how came Dolben there? It was because he was a poet, — that I knew; — and yet his poems were not known; they were jealously guarded by his family and a few friends: indeed such of his poems as could have come to the eyes of the authorities who sanctioned this memorial would not justify it. There was another reason; and the portrait bears its own credentials; for though you might not perhaps divine the poet in it, you can see the saint, the soul rapt in contemplation, the habit of stainless life, of devotion, of enthusiasm for high ideals. Such a being must have stood out conspicuously among his fellows; the facts of his life would have been the ground of the faith in his genius; and when his early death endeared and sanctified his memory, loving grief would generously grant him the laurels which he had never worn.

这个为老伊顿校友建立的肖像馆在决定人选时是很慎重的:出身显赫或表现突出有可能得到一个位置,或者,与校方有正式的联系,而校方也希望完整地再现教师队伍的全景,使保持学校传统的名人的形象构成的校史有生气,学校这样做是完全正确的。但是,多尔宾是怎么来到这里的呢?因为他是一个诗人——这我很清楚;然而,他的诗并不为人们所知;他的诗是由他的家人和几个朋友精心保管着;要说只凭学校当局见到的几首诗就同意以这种方式纪念他,理由不太充足。还有另外一个理由:他的肖像本身就可以解释这个问题;虽然你也许不能从肖像里看出他是诗人,但你可以看出他是一个圣人,一个陷入沉思之中的灵魂,一个执着而热烈地追求无瑕生活和崇高理想的人。这样的人在他的同事当中一定是一个出众的人;他的生活经历足以使我们相信他是一个天才;当他的英年早逝使他变得越发亲切而神圣的时候;人们出于对他的爱而产生的悲哀则赋予了他生前未曾享受过的诗人的桂冠。 解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题Practice 6 I have known very few writers, but those I have known, and whom I respect, confess at once that they have little idea where they are going when they first set pen to paper. They have a character, perhaps two; they are in that condition of eager discomfort which passes for inspiration; all admit radical changes of destination once the journey has begun; one, to my certain knowledge, spent nine months on a novel about Kashmir, then reset the whole thing in Scottish Highlands. I have never heard anyone making a ‘skeleton’, as we were taught at school. In the breaking and remarking, in the timing, interweaving, beginning afresh, the writer comes to concern things in his material which were not consciously in his mind when he began. This organic process, often leading to moments of extraordinary self-discovery, is of an indescribable fascination. A blurred image appears; he adds a brushstroke and another, and it is gone; but something was there, and he will not rest till he has captured it. Sometimes the years within a writer outlives a book he has written. I have heard of writers who read nothing but their own books; like adolescents they stand before the mirror, and still cannot fathom the exact outline of the vision before them. For the same reason, writers talk interminably about their own books, winkling out hidden meanings, super-imposing new ones, begging response from those around them. Of course a writer doing this is misunderstood: he might as well try to explain a crime or a love affair. He is also, incidentally, an unforgivable bore. This temptation to cover the distance between himself and the reader, to study his image in the sight of those who do not know him, can be his undoing: he has begun to write to please. A young English writer made the pertinent observation a year or two back that the talent goes into the first draft, and the art into the drafts that follow. For this reason also the writer, like any other artist, has no resting place, no crowd or movement in which he may take comfort, no judgment from outside which can replace the judgment from within. A writer makes order out of the anarchy of his heart; he submits himself to a more ruthless discipline than any critic dreamed of, and when he flirts with fame, he is taking time off from living with himself, from the search for what his world contains at its inmost point.正确答案：

我所认识的作家寥寥无几,然而凡是我所认识和尊敬的作家,都立即承认在他们动笔时,不清楚要写什么,怎么写。他们心中有一个或两个角色。他们处于急切不安的状态,而这被当作是灵感。他们无不承认,一旦“旅程”开始,“目的地”常有急剧的变化。据我所知,有位作家花了9个月的时间写了一部有关克什米尔的小说后来却把整个故事背景换成了苏格兰高地。我从未听说过任何一位作家像我们在学校学的那样,动笔前先列什么提纲。作家在剪裁修改、构思时间、穿插情节、以至从头重写的过程中,会领悟到素材中有很多东西是他刚动笔时所未意识到的。这种有机的加工过程往往达到不寻常自我发现的境界,具有难以言表的构思魅力。一个朦胧的形象出现在作家的脑海里,他左添一笔,右添一笔,形象反而消逝了;可是,好像还有什么东西存在着,不把它捕捉到,作家是不会罢休的。有时,一个作家一本书写完了,但兴奋仍未消散。我听说一些作家,除了自己的书外,别的书一概不读,犹如希腊神话中那位漂亮少年,站在镜前,不能辨认出自身的真面目。由于这个原因,作家喋喋不休地谈论自己的书,挖掘其隐晦的含义,增添新的含义,询问周围人的反应。作家如此行事当然会被人误解。他还不如给人讲一个犯罪案件或一个恋爱故事。顺便说一句,他也是个不可饶恕的令人厌烦的人。
这种企图消除自己和读者之间距离的作法,企图用不了解自己的人的观点来研究自己塑造的形象的作法,会导致作家的毁灭,因为他已经开始为取悦他人而写作了。
一两年前,一位年轻的英国作家发表了中肯的看法。他说,初稿是才华,以后各稿都是艺术。也是由于这个原因,作家同任何艺术家一样,找不到可休息的场所,找不到伙伴和活动使自己得到安逸。任何局外人的判断也比不上他自己内心的正确判断。一旦作家从内心的紊乱中理出头绪,就应按任何评论家想象不到的无情规范约束自己去写作;当他沽名钓誉时,他就脱离了自我生活,脱离了对自己灵魂最深处世界的探索。解析： 暂无解析
