She gave the food to the kids in the car who attacked it like wolves, and we stood 32the pump talking a little.

Now let us look at this issue from a different angle, from the standpoint of ecologists or anthropologists who conduct macro-level research. I would like to explain why such conditions have developed, by comparing the concept of values within education in Eastern and Western cultures.
Educational issues can also be considered as issues of values. Western culture emphasizes the importance of individualism and values democracy and liberty more than anything else, whereas China values group togetherness. The Confucian ethic (儒家道德准则) still deeply influences Chinese people. A hierarchical system (等级制度) based on morality is the most important in Chinese culture. The class-consciousness as well as the hierarchical system is planted deeply in Chinese people’s mind.
Owing to efforts over the past several years, various changes have occurred in Chinese society. For example, the relationship between the upper and lower classes used to be a one-sided relationship with the upper class taking the initiative, but now there is a movement towards relationships involving both sides. Nonetheless, although we see some social transformations, most of our culture still remains unchanged.
This Chinese concept of values also succeed in getting deeply into Chinese families. Peace within the family is kept by the authority of a family protector (parent), not by the self-initiative (自我动机) of a child. In China, we call it “loyalty” when the people who has a less important position follow their boss, and “filial devotion” when children obey their parents. Chinese society is indeed maintained by such loyalty and filial devotion.
Western culture respects individualism and advocates freedom of individuals, rights of individuals, equality of opportunity, freedom of choice and voluntary moral formation, while Chinese culture does perfectly the opposite: it respects group togetherness and emphasizes heavily the value of honor to one’s family and status in society.

JBFCS is short for Jewish Board of Family and Children’s Services. It is a network of mental health and social services for New Yorkers of all ethnic, racial, socioeconomic and religious backgrounds. There are a group of nine young adult volunteers from the JBFCS Friends program. They spent the whole afternoon doing crafts projects with the people who live in the Mount Vernon Intermediate Care Facility. The Mount Vernon Intermediate Care Facility is a home for severely developmentally disabled adults.
After traveling to Westchester by train and being greeted by the facility’s wonderful staff, the Friends were ready to roll up their sleeves and start communicating with the people who live there. The volunteers brought along all the necessary art supplies that were needed to decorate wooden boxes and picture frames. The people were delighted that they were going to be able to keep the crafts for themselves, or, as one client chose to do, share it with his visiting family. It is so obvious that it doesn’t need to be said, his mother was thrilled with his brightly colored picture frame!
The Friends Program has volunteer events each year at the Mt. Vernon facility; the winter crafts project and another in the spring when they spend an afternoon with residents gardening and planting. Over the years, Mt. Vernon has become a favorite destination for the Friends volunteers. It has been especially enjoyable and meaningful for the volunteers to see familiar faces each time they return and to witness the wonderful care our clients are receiving.

Are you looking for a new laptop computer to run Windows? You’re probably wondering where to begin. Laptops come in many shapes, designs, and sizes with different prices and technical descriptions. If you aren’t sure how to choose the best laptop for your needs, here’s some information to help you make the right purchase.
Start by taking a close look at how you’ll use your laptop. Don’t focus on technical descriptions before you’ve asked yourself some basic questions:
Is it important for your laptop to be lightweight / to have a large screen?
How often will you carry around your laptop?
Will you travel a lot with your laptop?
How much are you willing to spend?
After answering these questions, some people decide they don’t need a laptop after all, and buy a desktop computer instead. This article is about how to shop for a laptop, but the first step in that process is to ask yourself, “Is a laptop really the best computer for me?”
If your budget is tight and you don’t plan to carry your computer around, consider a desktop computer. The price and performance gap is narrowing between laptop and desktop computers, but you usually get more speed and power for your money when you buy a desktop computer.
The effectiveness of using a desktop computer tend to be better, too. It’s common to see laptop users sitting bending for hours over a keyboard to see the screen. Then they wonder why their necks hurt or they feel tired after working for only a short time. With a desktop computer, it’s easier to sit up straight and use a large, flatpanel display positioned at eye level.
43.We buy the desktop computer because.
A. it only has more speed than the laptop
B. it is more powerful than the laptops
C. it doesn’t hurt the neck of the users

四、任务型阅读 (共10小题，每小题１分，满分10分)
请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填一个单词。请将答案写在答题卡上相应的横线上。
Some writers confess that they based this character or that one on a real person, but the best writers would not leave such characters as they are in real life. Fictional characters are supposed to be just that, fictional, and it’s up to you, the writer, to breathe enough life into them to make them“seem”like real people.
■If you’ve created a character sheet then you have a great skeleton to start dressing with flesh and bones. In addition to helping you flesh out a character, this sheet will also help ensure that you don’t make silly mistakes, like describing the same eyes as brown on one page, and as green on another.
■Like real people, who grow and change gradually, through life experiences, fictional characters should be allowed to do the same.
While it may seem a good idea to give the reader a full sense of a character all at once, resist that urge. Doing this takes away one of the reasons people read, to continue to learn about the people in your story. By exposing characteristics, beliefs, and other elements of a person a bit at a time, you create mystery, and also maintain reader interest.
Remember, though, because of the length limitations of the short story, you must be careful that you don’t run out of space before you’ve written everything you needed to write about a character.
■Since there are no perfect people in real life, it’s a good idea not to create perfect people in fictional life. They won’t ring true, and they will be boring.
Give a character a flaw or two; this is a terrific way to make him or her seem real. When you assign a flaw be sure that it fits the character, and the story you are telling. Making someone an alcoholic, when you’re writing about the reality of marriage versus the illusion of it, could contribute to your theme, but that same addiction might be out of place with another theme.
■As well as being flawed, each real person is also unique. Give a character a unique trait (or gift) that a reader will remember. Maybe your character is a wonderful story teller who uses that gift to save a person from suicide. Or perhaps your character is musical or artistic, a hopeless romantic or eternally optimistic. Pick the right trait to illuminate your story.
■If you’ve added enough flesh and bones, your characters, like people in real life, will want the freedom to speak for themselves. You will know this if you try to make them say something they would never say, and you will hear those wrong words when you read the story aloud, and pause or stumble over the problematic sections.
Have a little faith that the characters you’ve created will lead you in the right direction, to your story’s proper conclusion.

书面表达
One day, a mother and son were taking a walk when they saw a little girl fall over. The boy wanted to help her up but his mother stopped him and said, “Don’t do that！A certain college student compensated an old lady 79,000 Yuan for his help her up! It is important that you should learn to protect yourself well.”
A few days later, the mother fell down by accident. It is difficult for mother herself to stand up because she is on the heavy side. So she called for help but the son pretended not to hear her. Mother was so angry but the son asked her how much he would pay her for help her up.
I disagree with what the mother did in the story. I think parents should not only care for their children’s health, but their minds. They should let their children know it’s a pleasure to help others who are in trouble. (161 words)

Start by taking a close look at how you’ll use your laptop. Don’t focus on technical descriptions before you’ve asked yourself some basic questions:
Is it important for your laptop to be lightweight / to have a large screen?
How often will you carry around your laptop?
Will you travel a lot with your laptop?
How much are you willing to spend?
After answering these questions, some people decide they don’t need a laptop after all, and buy a desktop computer instead. This article is about how to shop for a laptop, but the first step in that process is to ask yourself, “Is a laptop really the best computer for me?”
If your budget is tight and you don’t plan to carry your computer around, consider a desktop computer. The price and performance gap is narrowing between laptop and desktop computers, but you usually get more speed and power for your money when you buy a desktop computer.
The effectiveness of using a desktop computer tend to be better, too. It’s common to see laptop users sitting bending for hours over a keyboard to see the screen. Then they wonder why their necks hurt or they feel tired after working for only a short time. With a desktop computer, it’s easier to sit up straight and use a large, flatpanel display positioned at eye level.

四、任务型阅读 (共10小题，每小题１分，满分10分)
请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填一个单词。请将答案写在答题卡上相应的横线上。
Some writers confess that they based this character or that one on a real person, but the best writers would not leave such characters as they are in real life. Fictional characters are supposed to be just that, fictional, and it’s up to you, the writer, to breathe enough life into them to make them“seem”like real people.
■If you’ve created a character sheet then you have a great skeleton to start dressing with flesh and bones. In addition to helping you flesh out a character, this sheet will also help ensure that you don’t make silly mistakes, like describing the same eyes as brown on one page, and as green on another.
■Like real people, who grow and change gradually, through life experiences, fictional characters should be allowed to do the same.
While it may seem a good idea to give the reader a full sense of a character all at once, resist that urge. Doing this takes away one of the reasons people read, to continue to learn about the people in your story. By exposing characteristics, beliefs, and other elements of a person a bit at a time, you create mystery, and also maintain reader interest.
Remember, though, because of the length limitations of the short story, you must be careful that you don’t run out of space before you’ve written everything you needed to write about a character.
■Since there are no perfect people in real life, it’s a good idea not to create perfect people in fictional life. They won’t ring true, and they will be boring.
Give a character a flaw or two; this is a terrific way to make him or her seem real. When you assign a flaw be sure that it fits the character, and the story you are telling. Making someone an alcoholic, when you’re writing about the reality of marriage versus the illusion of it, could contribute to your theme, but that same addiction might be out of place with another theme.
■As well as being flawed, each real person is also unique. Give a character a unique trait (or gift) that a reader will remember. Maybe your character is a wonderful story teller who uses that gift to save a person from suicide. Or perhaps your character is musical or artistic, a hopeless romantic or eternally optimistic. Pick the right trait to illuminate your story.
■If you’ve added enough flesh and bones, your characters, like people in real life, will want the freedom to speak for themselves. You will know this if you try to make them say something they would never say, and you will hear those wrong words when you read the story aloud, and pause or stumble over the problematic sections.
Have a little faith that the characters you’ve created will lead you in the right direction, to your story’s proper conclusion.

书面表达
One day, a mother and son were taking a walk when they saw a little girl fall over. The boy wanted to help her up but his mother stopped him and said, “Don’t do that！A certain college student compensated an old lady 79,000 Yuan for his help her up! It is important that you should learn to protect yourself well.”
A few days later, the mother fell down by accident. It is difficult for mother herself to stand up because she is on the heavy side. So she called for help but the son pretended not to hear her. Mother was so angry but the son asked her how much he would pay her for help her up.
I disagree with what the mother did in the story. I think parents should not only care for their children’s health, but their minds. They should let their children know it’s a pleasure to help others who are in trouble. (161 words)
