"Why do we want a row of trees as well as a wall？" Terry asked his father.
His father said, "For privacy. These trees grow very thickly."
His father's love of privacy often puzzled Terry, who was not one to keep himself to himself, but he could see part of the point here. The houses in Jenkins Street were on higher ground. His friend Leslie lived in number twelve, and Leslie had only to stand on a box to see right over the wall.
"Will the trees grow higher than the wall？" Terry asked then.
"Oh. Yes, twice as high if not more. It'll take a few years but they'll grow.
So they were going to have nine trees thirty feet tall, to keep them from being over-looked. Terry wondered why this was so desirable. He said, "Our garden is very pretty. Why can't we let the people over the wall see it？ That wouldn't be showing off, would it？"
"No, I don't think it would be," his father said, "Yet some people might feel a bit less happy if they can always see a good thing that isn't theirs. We don't want to be the cause of any jealousy if we can help it."
This consideration for other people's feelings must be a grownup thing, Terry thought. It was no his idea of how to run things. He said, "These trees—it seems a lot of trouble to go just to stop people being jealous of us."
His father looked at him. "It isn't much trouble. Terry. "He said, "These trees will grow without help from us. They'll be beautiful. And listen to them. You can already hear them whispering to us in the wind."
The passage mainly deals with the topic of ______.
A．protection of environment
B．relationship between neighbors
C．generation gap
D．cause of jealousy
How Earthquakes Work
An earthquake is one of the most terrifying phenomena that nature can dish up. We generally think of the ground we stand on as "rock-solid" and completely stable. But an earthquake can shatter that perception instantly. Up until relatively recently, scientists only had unsubstantiated guesses as to what actually caused earthquakes. Even today there is still a certain amount of mystery surrounding them, but scientists have a much clearer understanding. There has been enormous progress in the past century: Scientists have identified the forces that cause earthquakes, and developed technology that can tell us an earthquake's magnitude and origin. The next hurdle is to find a way of predicting earthquakes.
Shaking Ground
An earthquake is a vibration that travels through the earth's crust. Technically, a large truck that rumbles down the street is causing a mini-earthquake, if you feel your house shaking as it goes by, but we tend to think of earthquakes as events that affect a fairly large area, such as an entire city. All kinds of things can cause earthquakes:
-volcanic eruptions
-meteor(流星) impacts
-underground explosions (an underground nuclear test, for example)
-collapsing structures (such as a collapsing mine)
But the majority of naturally-occurring earthquakes are caused by movements of the earth's plates, as we'll see in the next section.
We only hear about earthquakes in the news every once in a while, but they are actually an everyday occurrence on our planet. According to the United States Geological Survey, more than three million earthquakes occur every year. That's about 8000 a day, or one every 11 seconds! The vast majority of these 3 million quakes are extremely weak.
Sliding Plates
The biggest scientific breakthrough in the history of seismology(地震学)—the study of earthquakes came in the middle of the 20th century, with the development of the theory of plate tectonics(板块构造). The basic theory is that the surface layer of the earth—the lithosphere—is comprised of many plates that slide over the lubricating mantle(地幔) layer. At the boundaries between these huge plates of soil and rock, three different things can happen:
-Plates can move apart—If two plates are moving apart from each other, hot, molten rock flows up from the layers of mantle below the lithosphere.
-Plates can push together—If the two plates are moving toward each other, one plate typically pushes under the other one. At some boundaries where two plates meet, neither plate is in a position to subduct under the other, so they both push against each other to form. mountains.
-Plates slide against each other—At other boundaries, plates simply slide by each other—they are pushed tightly together. A great deal of tension builds at the boundary.
Where these plates meet, you'll find faults—breaks in the earth's crust where the blocks of rock on each side are moving in different directions. Earthquakes are much more common along fault lines than they are anywhere else on the planet.
Faults
Scientists identify four types of faults, characterized by the position of the fault plane, the break in the rock and the movement of the two rock blocks:
-In a normal fault (see animation below), the fault plane is nearly vertical. These faults occur where the crust is being pulled apart, due to the pull of a divergent plate boundary.
-The fault plane in a reverse fault is also nearly vertical, but the hanging wall pushes up and the footwall pushes down. This sort of fault forms where a plate is being compressed.
-A thrust fault moves the same way as a reverse fault, but the fault line is nearly horizontal. This is the sort of fault that occurs in a converging plate boundary.

M: All right. Do you want to go downtown？ Or is there a good movie in the neighborhood？
W: I'd rather not spend a lot of money. What does the paper say about neighborhood theaters？
M: Here's the list on page six. Here it is. Where's the Rialto？ There's a good movie there.
W: That's too far away. And it's bard to find a place to park there.
M: Well, the Grand Theater has Gone With the Wind.
W: I saw that years ago. I don' t want to see it again. Anyway, it's too long. We wouldn't get home until midnight.
M: The Center has a horror film. You wouldn't want to see that.
W: No, indeed. I wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.
M: That's about all there is. Unless we change our minds and go downtown.
W: No, we just can't afford it. There must be something else we haven't seen.
M: Here, look for yourself. I can't find anything else.
W: Look at this!
M: What？
W: In the television schedule, there's a baseball game on television tonight.

Resume (简历) arrive with stains. Some candidates don’t bother to spell the company’s name correctly. Once I see a mistake, I eliminate the candidate, Crossley concludes. “If they cannot take of these details, why should we trust them with a job？”
Can we pay too much attention to detail？ Absolutely. Perfectionists struggle over little things at the cost of something larger they work toward, “To keep from losing the forest for the trees”, says Charles Garfield, associate professor at the University of California, San Francisco, “We must constantly ask ourselves how the details we’re working on fit into the larger picture. If they don’t, we should drop them and move to something else”.
Garfield compares this process to his work as a computer scientist at NASA. “The Apollo II moon launch was slightly off-course 90 percent of the time.” Says Garfield, “But a successful landing was still likely because we knew the exact coordinates of our goal. This allowed us to make adjustments as necessary.” Knowing where we want to go helps us judge the importance of every task we undertake.
Too often we believe what accounts for others’ success is some special secret or a lucky break (机遇). But rarely is success so mysterious. Again and again, we see that by doing little things within our grasp well, large rewards follow.
第26题：According to the passage, some job applicants were rejected ________.
A) because of their carelessness as shown in their failure to present a clean copy of a resume
B) because of their inadequate education as shown in their poor spelling in writing a resume
C) because they failed to give detailed description of their background in their applications
D) because they eliminated their names from the applicants’ list themselves
taken for granted as a means of solving differences, that it is not even
questioned. There are countries where the white man imposes his rule by brute
force; there are countries where the black man protests by setting fire to
citiesand by looting and pillaging. Important people on both sides,who would in
other respects appear to be reasonable men, get up and calmly argue in favor of
violence – as if it were a legitimate solution, like any other. What isreally
frightening, what really fills you with despair, is the realization that when it
comes to the crunch, we have made no actual progress at all. We may wear collars
and ties instead of war-paint, but our instincts remain basically unchanged. The
whole of the recorded history of the humanrace, that tedious documentation of
violence, has taught us absolutely nothing. We have still not learnt that
violence never solves a problem but makes it more acute. The sheer horror, the
bloodshed, the suffering mean nothing. No solution ever comes to light the
morning after when wedismally contemplate the smoking ruins and wonder what hit
us.
The truly reasonable men who know where the solutions lie are finding it
harder and herder to get a hearing. They are despised, mistrusted and even
persecuted by their own kind because they advocate such apparently outrageous
things as law enforcement. If half the energy that goes into violent acts were
put to good use, if our efforts were directed at cleaning up the slums and
ghettos, at improving living-standards and providing education and employment
for all,we would have gone a long way to arriving at a solution. Our strength is
sapped by having to mopup the mess that violence leaves in its wake. In a
well-directed effort, it would not be impossible to fulfill the ideals of a
stable social programme. The benefits that can be derived from constructive
solutions are everywhere apparent in the world around us. Genuine and lasting
solutions are always possible, providing we work within the framework of the
law.
Before we can even begin to contemplate peaceful co-existence between the
races, we must appreciate each other's problems. And to do this, we must learn
about them: it is a simple exercise in communication, in exchanging information.
"Talk, talk, talk," the advocates of violencesay, "all you ever do is talk, and
we are none the wiser." It's rather like the story of the famous barrister who
painstakingly explained his case to the judge. After listening to a lengthy
argument the judge complained that after all this talk, he was none the wiser.
"Possible, my lord," the barrister replied, "none the wiser, but surely far
better informed." Knowledge is the necessary prerequisite to wisdom: the
knowledge that violence creates the evils it pretends to solve.
What is the best title for this passage?
A.Advocating Violence.
B.Violence Can Do Nothing to Diminish Race Prejudice.
C.Important People on Both Sides See Violence As a Legitimate Solution.
D.The Instincts of Human Race Are Thirsty for Violence.
W: Yes, it is a tough subject. I do have some ideas, though. What I thought was, we could start off by doing an internet search for all of her movies, her personal information, and so on.
M: Yes, that's a great way to get started. We can print out everything, then take our time finding the relevant parts.
W: That's what I think. We could also try to do a search on her son too, he's a famous movie director now.
M: Oh yes, I've seen a couple of his movies and he's just as talented as his mother.
W: Also, a classmate told me about an excellent book which contains lots of information about European films from 1960's and 1970's. We could probably find some quotes about her from other actors too.
M: So that's it! We can find everything we need!
W: You can start by doing some internet searches.
M: I will, and why don't you go to look for that book？
W: I think it would be quicker to call my friend and ask her, she knows exactly where to find the book in the library.
M: True. The library is massive, if you tried to find it yourself could be in there for days!
W: Ok, you stay here and do this, I'll go and find my classmate. See you back here at, erm... 5 o'clock？
M: Great. That gives me plenty of time to make a start. See you later.
