1、Sharing SilenceDeaf teenagers Orlando Chavez ａｎｄ　German Resendiz have become friends since kindergarten (幼儿园). Together the two boys, who go to Escondido High School in California, have had the difficult job of learning in schools where the majority of the students can speak ａｎｄ　hear.Orlando lost his hearing at the age of one. German was borned deaf, ａｎｄ　his parents moved from Mexico to find a school where he could learn sign language. He met Orlando on their first day of kindergarten."We were in a special class with about 25 other deaf kids," German remembers. "Before then, I didn\'t know I was deaf ａｎｄ　I was different.""Being young ａｎｄ　deaf in regular classes was very hard," signs Orlando. "The other kids didn\'t understａｎｄ　us ａｎｄ　we didn\'t understａｎｄ　them. But we\'ve all grown up together, ａｎｄ　today, I\'m popular because I\'m deaf. Kids try hard to communicate with me."Some things are very difficult fｏｒthe two boys. "We can\'t talk on the phone. so if we need help, we can\'t call an emergency service," German signs.

They got their jobs through a "workability" program designed fｏｒteenagers from local schools with different types of learning disabilities.German has worked in the supermarket since August, ａｎｄ　Orlando started in November."The other people who work here have been very nice to us," Orlando signs.

2、The State of Marriage TodayIs there something seriously wrong with marriage today? During the past 50 years, the rate of divorce in the United States has exploded: almost 50% of marriages end in divorce now, ａｎｄ　the evidence suggests it is going to get worse. If this trend continues, it will lead to the breakup of the family, according to a spokesperson fｏｒthe National Family Association. Some futurists predict that in 100 years, the average American will marry at least four times ａｎｄ　extramarital affairs will be even more common than they are now.But what are the reasons fｏｒthis, ａｎｄ　is the picture really so gloomy? The answer to the first question is really quite simple: marriage is no longer the necessity it once was. The institution of marriage has been based fｏｒyears partly on economic need. Women used to be economically dependent on their husbands as they usually didn\'t have jobs outside the home. But with the rising number of women in well-paying jobs, this is no longer the case, so they don\'t feel that they need to stay in a failing marriage.In answer to the second question, the outlook may not be as pessimistic as it seems. While the rate of divorce has risen, the rate of couples marrying has never actually fallen very much, so marriage is still quite popular. In addition to this, many couples now cohabit ａｎｄ　don\'t bother to marry. These couples are effectively married, but they do not appear in either the marriage ｏｒdivorce statistics. In fact, more than 50% of first marriages survive. The statistics are deceptive because there is a higher number of divorces in second ａｎｄ　third marriages than in first marriages.So is marriage really an outdated institution? The fact that most people still get married indicates that it isn\'t. ａｎｄ　it is also true that married couples have a healthier life than single people: they suffer less from stress ａｎｄ　its consequences, such as heart problems, ａｎｄ　married men generally consider themselves more contented than their single counterparts. Perhaps the key is to find out what makes a successful marriage ａｎｄ　apply it to all of our relationships!Why may the outlook of marriage not be as gloomy as it appears?【单选题】

A.Many people still like to get married.

B.The rate of divorce has actually decreased.

C.Over 50% of the marriages continue to exist.

D.The statistics of divorce is not quite true.

正确答案:A

答案解析:从第3段里可以了解到离婚率并没有下降而是上升了，因此B选项不对。而C选项与第3段里“In fact，more than 50% of first marriages survive”所说不符，该选项没有提到是第一次婚姻。同样，D选项在文中也没有说到，文中第3段的最后一句只是说统计数据具有欺骗性，而没有说数据失实。

3、U. S. to Start $3. 2 Billion Child Health Study in JanuaryA study that will cost $3. 2 billion ａｎｄ　last more than two decades to track the health of100,000 U. S. children from before birth to age 21 will be launched in January, U. S. health officials said on Friday.Officials from the U.

4、How to Be a Successful Business personHave you ever wondered why some people are successful in business ａｎｄ　others are not? Here\'s a story about one successful business person. He started out washing dishes ａｎｄ　today he owns 168 restaurants.Zubair Kazi was born in Bhatkal, a small town in southwest India. His dream was to be an airplane pilot, ａｎｄ　when he was 16 years old, he learned to fly a small plane.At the age of 23 ａｎｄ　with just a little money in his pocket, Mr. Kazi moved to the United States. He hoped to get a job in the airplane industry in California. Instead, he ended up working fｏｒa company that rented cars.While Mr. Kazi was working at the car rental (租赁的) company, he frequently ate at a nearby KFC restaurant. To save money on food, he decided to get a job with KFC. Fｏｒtwo months, he worked as a cook\'s assistant. His job was to clean the kitchen ａｎｄ　help the cook. "I didn\'t like it," Mr. Kazi says, "but I always did the best I could."One day, Mr. Kazi\'s two co - workers failed to come to work. That day, Mr. Kazi did the work of all three people in the kitchen. This really impressed the owners of the restaurant.A few months later, the owners needed a manager fｏｒa new restaurant. They gave the job to Mr. Kazi. He worked hard as the manager ａｎｄ　soon the restaurant was making a profit.A few years later, Mr. Kazi heard about a restaurant that was losing money.

With the money he earned, he bought three more restaurants that were losing money. Again, he cleaned them up, improved the food, ａｎｄ　retrained the employees. Before long these restaurants were making a profit, too.Today Mr. Kazi owns 168 restaurants, but he isn\'t planning to stop there. He\'s looking fｏｒmore poorly managed restaurants to buy.

5、Indian\'s NamesEach Indian was supposed to keep his birth name until he was old enough to earn one fｏｒhimself. But his playmates would always give him a name of their own. No matter what his parents called him, his childhood friends would use the name they had chosen. Often it was not pleasing, such as Bow Legs ｏｒBad Boy. But sometimes a name fit so well that the youngster found it difficult to shake it off. If he could not earn a better one from a war later, he could be stuck with a name like Bow Legs fｏｒthe rest of his life.The Indian earned his real name when he was old enough fｏｒhis first fight against the enemy. His life name depended on how he acted during this first battle. When he returned from the war, the whole tribe would gather ａｎｄ　observe the ceremony in which he would be given his name by the chief. If he had done well, he would get a good name. Otherwise he might be called Crazy Wolf ｏｒMan-Afraid-of-a Horse. So an Indian\'s name told his record ｏｒdescribed the kind of man he was.A man was given many chances to improve his name, however, if in a later battle he was brave in fighting against the enemy, he was given a better name. Some of our great fighters had as many as twelve names, all good ａｎｄ　each better than the last.An Indian\'s names belonged to him fｏｒthe rest of his life. No one else could use them. Even he himself could not give them away because names were assigned by the tribe, not the family. So no man could pass on his name unless the chief ａｎｄ　the tribe asked him to do so.Sometimes an Indian would be asked to give his name to a son who had performed a noticeable deed. I know of only three ｏｒfour times when this happened. It is the rarest honｏｒfｏｒa person -the honｏｒof assuming his father\'s name.What was the greatest honｏｒan Indian could earn?【单选题】

A.A victory in his first battle against the enemy.

B.A name given by the chief.

C.A ceremony to get his real name.

D.The right to use his father\'s name.

正确答案:D

答案解析:文章最后一句the rarest honｏｒfｏｒa person就是承袭父亲的名字，因此选D。
