二、2.

1.When friends come to visit us in the evening, they spend their time telling us they are in a hurry and looking at their watches. It isn"t that our friends are all very busy; it is just that we haven"t got a television. People think that we are very strange. " But what do you do in the evening?" they are always asking. The answer is very simple. Both my wife and I have hobbies. We certainly don"t spend our evenings staring at the walls. My wife enjoys cooking and painting and often attends evening classes in foreign languages. This is particularly useful as we often go abroad for our holidays. I collect stamps and am always busy with my collection. Both of us enjoy listening to the music and playing chess together.
  Sometimes there are power cuts and we have no electricity in the house. This does not worry us as we just light candles and carry on with what we were doing before. Our friends are lost—no television! So they don"t know what to do. On such evening our house is very full as they all come to us. They all have a good time. Instead of sitting in silence in front of the television, everybody talks and plays games. Yes, life is possible without television.

7.According to a survey, which was based on the responses of over 188, 000 students, today"s traditional-age college freshmen are "more materialistic and less altruistic (利他主义的) " than at any time in the 17 years of the poll.
  Not surprising in these hard times, the student"s major objective is to be financially well off. Less important than ever is developing a meaningful philosophy of life. It follows then that today the most popular course is not literature or history but accounting.
  Interest in teaching, social service and the "altruistic" fields is at a low. On the other hand, enrollment in business programs, engineering and computer science is way up.
  That"s no surprise either. A friend of mine ( a sales representative for a chemical company) was making twice the salary of her college instructors her first year on the job—even before she completed her two-year associate degree.
  While it"s true that we all need a career, it is equally true that our civilization has accumulated an incredible amount of knowledge in fields far removed from our own and that we are better for our understanding of these other contributions—be they scientific or artistic. It is equally true that, in studying the diverse wisdom of others, we learn how to think. More important, perhaps, education teaches us to see the connections between things, as well as to see beyond our immediate needs.
  Weekly we read of unions who went on strike for higher wages, only to drive their employer out of business. No company; no job. How shortsighted in the long run!
  But the most important argument for a broad education is that in studying the accumulated wisdom of the ages, we improve our moral sense. I saw a cartoon recently which shows a group of businessmen looking puzzled as they sit around a conference table; one of them is talking on the intercom (对讲机) : "Miss Baxter, " he says, "could you please send in someone who can distinguish right from wrong?"
  From the long-term point of view, that"s what education really ought to be about.

According to the author"s observation, college students______.

A．have never been so materialistic as today
B．have never been so interested in the arts
C．have never been so financially well off as today
D．have never attached so much importance to moral sense

8.

A．the influences of their instructors
B．the financial goals they seek in life

A．business management should be included in educational programs
B．human wisdom has accumulated at an extraordinarily high speed
C．human intellectual development has reached new heights
D．the importance of a broad education should not be overlooked

D．Career seekers should not focus on immediate interests only.

13.In the traditional marriage, the man worked at a job to earn money. Most men worked. Since the man earned the money, he paid the bills. The man made most of the decisions. He was the boss. In the traditional marriage, the woman seldom worked away from the house. She stayed at home to care for the children and her husband. She cooked meals, cleaned the house, washed the clothes and did other housework.
  In recent years, many couples continue to have a traditional relationship of the kind. The man has a job and earns the money for the family. The woman stays at home and cares for the children and the house. Many Americans are happy with this kind of marriage. But some other Americans have a different impression of marriage and family responsibilities.
  There are two important differences in male and female roles now. One is that both men and women have many more choices. They may choose to marry or to to stay single. They may choose to work or to stay at home. Both men and women may choose roles that are comfortable for them.
  A second difference in male and female roles is that within marriage many decisions and responsibilities are shared. The husband and wife may choose to have children or they may not. If they have children, the man may take care of them some of the time, all of the time or not at all. The woman may want to stay at home and take care of the children. Or she may want to go to work. Men and women now decide these things together in a marriage. Many married people now share these decisions and the responsibilities of their families.

19.Movies are the most popular form. of entertainment for millions of Americans. They go to the movies to escape their normal everyday existence and to experience a life more exciting than their own. They may choose to see a particular film because they like the actors or because they have heard the film has a good story. But the main reason why people go to the movies is to escape. Sitting in a dark theater, watching the images on the screen, they enter another world that is real to them. They become involved in the lives of the characters in the movie, and for two hours, they forget all about their own problems. They are in a dream world where things often appear to be more romantic(浪漫的) and beautiful than in real life.
  The biggest "dream factories" are in Hollywood, the capital of the film industry. Each year, Hollywood studios make hundreds of movies that are shown all over the world. American movies are popular because they tell stories and they are well-made. They provide the public with heroes who do things the average person would like to do but often can"t. People have to cope with many problems and much trouble in real life, so they feel encouraged when they see the "good guys" win in the movies.

三、3.Cloze
