What are some of the differences between love and infatuation？
1. Genuine love is more likely to involve a process of "growing" in love rather than "falling" in love. This may sound terribly unromantic to some who are used to hearing talk about "falling in love" or being "head over heels in love." This "falling" is often infatuation, and the sheer emotion of "falling" in love often blinds a person to the imperfections of the loved one. We tend to think of the loved one as "perfect", "ideal", or some other divine image. Real love sees the total person—both the "perfection" and the imperfection. Infatuation, then, is a sudden, emotional sense that one has discovered the "perfect" lover. On the other hand, love realizes imperfections and grows with he acceptance of those imperfections.
2. Love leads a person to a feeling of security and trust in the loved lone. It usually involves a feeling of mutual benefit arising from the new relationship. "We are able to solve our problems together" is the feeling of love, rather than "Please love me because I need you."
3. Infatuation often entails feelings of insecurity whenever the "lovers" are separated; feelings of doubt, fickleness, uncertainty, and fear of loss often accompany infatuation. "What will I do if I lose him？" and "I wonder of she really means it when she says she loves me？" express the feelings of infatuation. In such a setting a lasting love does not have a chance to develop.
4.Infatuation tends to be more manipulative than love because a lasting feeling of relationship probably has not developed, so that the individuals are still concerned mainly about their own needs and satisfactions. Conversely, in love, the feeling of relationship is genuine and sincere so that concern for the other person evolves naturally.
5. Physical attraction is an important part of both infatuation and love, but the superficial attraction is less important in love, for the couple experiencing love usually will build their relationship on a broader base than mere physical attraction.
That remote _________ mountain country has become great tourist attraction since 1990s.
A．vacant
B．barren
C．, weird
D．bald
The view over a valley of a tiny village with thatched(草盖的) roof cottages around a church; a drive through a narrow village street lined with thatched cottages painted pink or white; the sight over the rolling hills of a pretty collection of thatched farm buildings-these are still common sights in parts of England. Most people will agree that the thatched roof is an essential part of the attraction of the English countryside.
Thatching is in fact the oldest of all the building crafts practised in the British Isles(英伦诸岛). Although thatch has always been used for cottage and farm buildings, it was once used for castles and churches, too.
Thatching is a solitary(独自的) craft, which often runs in families. The craft of thatching as it is practised today has changed very little since the Middle Ages. Over 800 full-time thatchers are employed in England and Wales today, maintaining and renewing the old roofs as well as thatching newer houses. Many property owners choose thatch not only for its beauty but because they know it will keep them cool in summer and warm in winter.
In fact, if we look at developing countries, over half the world lives under thatch, but they all do it in different ways. People in developing countries are often reluctant to go back to traditional materials and would prefer modern buildings. However, they may lack the money to allow them to import the necessary materials. Their temporary mud huts with thatched roofs of wild grasses often only last six months. Thatch which has been done the British way last from twenty to sixty years, and is an effective defence against the heat . Which of the following remains a unique feature of the English countryside？
A.Cottages with thatched roofs.
B.Churches with cottages around them.
C.Rolling hills with pretty farm buildings.
D.Narrow streets lined with pink or white houses.
What do we know about thatching as a craft？A.It is quite different from what it used to be.
B.It is in most cases handed down among family members.
C.It is practised on farms all over England.
D.It is a collective activity.
Thatched houses are still preferred because of ________.A.their durability
B.their easy maintenance
C.their cheap and ready-made materials
D.their style and comfort
People in developing countries also live under thatch because ______.A.they like thatched houses better than other buildings
B.thatch is an effective defence against the heat
C.thatched roof houses are the cheapest
D.thatched cottages are a big tourist attraction
We can learn from the passage that _______.A.the English people have a special liking for thatched houses
B.most thatched cottages in England are located on hillsides
C.thatching is a building craft first created by the English people
D.thatched cottages in England have been passed down from

Junk Hunting
淘旧货
Anyone who thinks exploration always involves long journeys should have his head examined.Or, better, he should put on his oldest clothes and go off in search of a junk shop. There are three kinds—one full of discarded books, one full of discarded Government equipment, and one full of discarded anything.A junk shop may have four walls and a roof,or it may be no more than a trestle-table in an open air market;but there is one infallible test:no genuine junk shopkeeper will ever pester you to make up your mind and buy something. And you are no true junk shopper if you march purposefully round the shop as if you knew exactly what you wanteD．You must browse, gently chewing the cud of your idle thoughts, and nibbling here and there as a sight or a touch of the goods that lie about you. Yet you must also possess a penetrating glance, darting your eyes about you to spot the treasures that may lurk beneath the rubbish. This is what makes junk shopping such a satisfying voyage of exploration. You never know what interesting and unexpected thing you may discover next. For in a true junk shop, not even the proprietor is always quite sure what his dusty stock conceals. There is always the chance that you may pick up a first edition, a pair of exotic ear-rings, a piece of early Wedgwood china, or a cine camera—and possess it for the price of fifty cigarettes.
But this kind of treasure hunt is only a sideline to the true junk shopper. The real attraction lies in finding something that catches your own especial fancy, though everybody else may pass it by. An ancient tarnished clock, whose brass beneath your hands will shine anew; empty boxes that you can see transformed into the framework of a bookcase; an old bound volume of magazines of three-quarters of a century ago, which will shed strange sidelights on the ways our great-grandparents behaved and looked at life.
When you begin junk shopping, half the attraction is that you go with absolutely no intention of buying anything. You spend your first couple of Saturday afternoons ambling around among dusty shelves, savouring a page or a chapter as you please, or fingering the piles of oddments that litter counters or tables. At first, be warned, don't try to buy. You may, indeed you should, ask the price of this and that; but just to give you an idea of what the junk shopkeeper thinks you might be willing to pay him.
Later, you will find yourself returning a second and third time to something that has caught your fancy. And when you can hold back no longer, bargaining begins in earnest. This is the other great attraction of the true junk shop. Not only may it hold every conceivable product from every imaginable country; it also transports you to the mediaeval market place or the oriental bazaar, where no price is fixed until buyer and seller have waged a friendly war together, and proved each other's mettle. And this is where your old clothes become important: let no one take you for a rich connoisseur, or you will find yourself paying a rich man's prices. And avoid at all costs the suspicion of an American accent, or in spite of the good nature of all good junk shopkeepers, you will be for it.
The author equates junk shopping with exploration because both involve______.
A．traveling long distances
B．careful preparation
C．a spirit of adventure
D．discovering unheard of places

Questions are based on the following passage．
Gravity is one of those things we take completely for granted. And there are twothings about it that we take for granted: the fact that it is always there， and the fact thatit never changes. If the Earth"s gravity were ever to change significantly， it would have ahuge effect on nearly everything because so many things are designed around the currentstate of gravity.
Gravity is an attractive force between any two atoms. Let"s say you take two golfballs and place them on a table. There will be an incredibly slight gravitational attractionbetween the atoms in those two golf balls. If you use two massive pieces of lead andsome amazingly precise instruments， you can actually measure an infinitesimal attractionbetween them. It is only when you get a gigantic number of atoms together， that the forceof gravitational attraction is significant.
The reason why gravity on Earth never changes is because the mass of the Earthnever changes. A change in mass great enough to result in a change in gravity isn"t goingto happen anytime soon.
But let"s ignore the physics and imagine that， suddenly there was no force of gravityon planet Earth. This would turn out to be a pretty bad day. We depend on gravity to .holdso many things down——cars， people， furniture， pencils and papers on your desk， and soon. Everything would start to float. What"s more， two of the more important things heldon the ground by gravity are the atmosphere and the water in the oceans， lakes and rivers.
Without gravity， the air in the atmosphere would immediately leap into space. This is theproblem the moon has——the moon doesn"t have enough gravity to keep an atmospherearound it， so it"s in a near vacuum. Without an atmosphere， any living thing would dieimmediately and anything liquid would boil away into space.
In other words， no one would last long if the planet didn"t have gravity.
If gravity were to suddenly double， it would be almost as bad， because everythingwould be twice as heavy. There would be big problems with anything structural. Houses，bridges， skyscrapers， table legs and so on are all sized for normal gravity. Most structureswould collapse fairly quickly if you doubled the load on them.
What this answer shows you is just how integral gravity is to our world. We can"tlive without it. It is one of the true constants in our lives.
What do we tend to think of gravity？ 查看材料
A.It will never change significantly.
B.It will change some time in the future.
C.It has nothing to do with our daily life.
D.It is always there on Earth.
The great majority of all earthquakes occur in two specific geographic areas. One such area covers the Pacific Ocean and its bordering landmasses. The other extends from the East Indians to the Atlas Mountains, including the Himalayas, Iran, Turkey, and the Alpine regions. It is in these two great belts or zones that ninety percent of all earthquakes take place; they may, however, happen anywhere at any time.
This element of the unknown has for centuries added greatly to the dread and horror surrounding earthquakes, but in recent times there have been indications that earthquake forecast may be possible. By analyzing changes in animal behavior, patterns of movements in the earth‟s shell, variations in the earth‟s force of attraction, and the frequency with which minor earth shakes are observed, scientists have shown increasing success in expecting when and where earthquakes will strike. As a result, a worldwide earthquake warning network is already in operation and has helped to prepare for (and thus lessen) the vast destruction that might otherwise have been totally unexpected.
It is doubtful that man will ever be able to control earthquakes and get rid of their destructiveness altogether, but as how and why earthquakes happen become better
understood, man will become more and more able to deal with their possible damage before they occur.
1.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage？
A. Earthquake destruction is declining
B. Earthquake forecast is improving
C. Man is no longer fearful of earthquakes.
D. Man is capable of conquering earthquakes
2.We can infer from the passage that quakes __________.
A. may happen anywhere at any time
B. mostly strike in oceans and mountains
C. are unobservable in masses of land
D. are hardly the direct cause of fatalities
3.The phrase “this element of the unknown” (Paragraph 3) refers to ___________.
A. the extension of earthquake zones
B. the percentage of earthquake occurrences
C. when and where earthquakes may occur
D. what big damage earthquakes may cause
4.Man‟s research on earthquake forecast at present is to ____________.
A. reduce the loss from earthquake disasters
B. lower the frequency of earthquakes
C. release the energy that causes earthquakes
D. analyze the relationship between different earthquakes
5. Which of the following describes the author‟s purpose in writing the passage？
A. Inform. the reader
B. Entertain the reader
C. Disprove a concept
D. Question a concept
America's Hot Schools
Competition's intense and there are scores of colleges. Large, small, public, private, urban, rural—what's best for you？ Here are our top picks for the places that everyone's talking about for 2005.
Newsweek 2005 edition—Pull apart the NBA of a student's dream school and you'll find so many different strands. Perhaps it's the location, either in the rolling country-side far from anything that resembles a sidewalk, or in the midst of an urban neighborhood. It could be a college's unique educational mission or the array of quirky personalities on campus. Maybe it's the outstanding labs or libraries or theaters, even the fitness center. All 25 colleges on the Hot List for 2005 have one thing in common: they provide an outstanding education. But what makes them hot is their differences and special traits.
Although all these schools have demonstrated continuing excellence, various qualities made many of them stand out in 2004. The Iraq war, as well as its aftermath, highlighted the importance of well-educated military leadership and some students think of applying to Annapolis or West Point. The debate over Early Decision (ED) admissions policies prompted a number of applicants to try schools like Yale or Stanford that have led the effort to reduce ED stress on students. The controversy over affirmative action motivated other students to seek out schools like Wesleyan that celebrate diversity.
HOTTEST IVY
Yale University, New Haven, Conn.
Yale president Richard Levin has been a leader in efforts to change ED admissions policies, and that is probably one reason the university was at the top of so many ambitious students' lists this year. A record 19,682 students applied in 2003, but only 1,955 were admitted. The 2004--2005 season could be a repeat. Undergraduate Admissions Dean Richard Shaw says the number of campus visits has increased dramatically—a good indicator of a future spike (高峰) in applications. Yalies say a big attraction of their undergraduate experience is the residential—college system. Students live in one of 12 colleges, each with its own character, under the guidance of a master and a dean.
HOTTEST SCHOOL FOR THE ARTS
Juilliard School, New York, N.Y.
Juilliard turns 100 in the 2005—2006 academic year, and the current crop of students can look back on an impressive history with such alumni as actor Kevin Kline, violinist Itzhak Perlman and choreographer (芭蕾舞创作者) Lar Lubovitch. To celebrate, the school will introduce new choreography, productions and performances. The student orchestra, which already performs abroad, will embark on its first domestic tour. In 2003—2004, Juilliard received 2, 016 applications; only 152 musicians, dancers and actors were offered the chance to showcase their talent in the Julliard Theater right next to Lincoln Center. That's the best inspiration for any aspiring star.
HOTTTEST LIBRARY
Harvard University, Cambridge, Mass.
Harvard's library system ranks with the best of any kind in the country, even the Congress. "It contains the largest collection of every kind of book and bit of information anyone would ever want, says library director Sidney Verba. The collection includes more than 15 million volumes, 5.5 million microforms, 6.5 million manuscripts and 5 million other research materials such as photographs, maps and recordings. Even undergraduates take advantage of these resources for writing term papers and senior theses. Harvard, digital collection is particularly strong, and a big draw for students who want access to just about every online journal around.
