John Grisham

John Grisham was born on February 2,1955, in Jonesboro, Arkansas, in the USA. His father was a construction worker and moved his family all around the southern states of America, stopping wherever he could find work. Eventually they settled in Mississippi. Graduating from law school in 1981, Grisham practiced law for nearly a decade in Southaven, specializing in criminal defense and personal injury litigation (诉讼 )。In 1983, he was elected to the state House of Representatives and served until 1990. One day at the Dessoto County courthouse, Grisham heard the horrifying testimony of a 12-year-old rape victim. He decided to write a novel exploring what would have happened if the girl&39;s father had murdered her attackers. He proceeded to get up every morning at 5 a.m. to work on the novel, called A Time to Kill, which was published in 1988.Grisham&39;s next novel, The Firnwas one of the biggest hits of 1991, spending 47 weeks on The New York Times bestseller list. Grisham was then able to give up law and concentrate on writing. Grisham lives with his wife and two children, dividing their time between their Victorian home on a 67-acre farm in Mississippi and a 204-acre plantation near Charlottesville, Virginia.

When he&39;s not writing, Grisham devotes time to charitable causes, including mission trips with his church group. As a child he dreamt of becoming a professional baseball player, and now serves as the local Little League commissioner. He has built six hall fields on his property and hosts children from 26 Little League teams.

Energy Cycle

Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it&39;s painful？ This might be called lazi-ness, but Dr. Kleitman has anew explanation. He has proved that everyone has adaily energycycle.

During the hours when you labor through your work you may say that you&39;re "hot". That&39;strue. The time of day when you feel most energeticis when your cycle of body temperature is at itspeak. For some people the peak comes during the morning. For others it comes in the afternoon orevening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues as : "Getup, John! You&39;ll be late for work again!" The possiB．le explanation to the trouB．le is that John isat his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbandsand wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.

You can&39;t change your energy cycle, B．ut you can learn to make your life fit to it better. HaB．itcan help, Dr. Kleitman B．elieves. MayB．e you&39;re sleepy in the evening but you must stay up lateanyway. Counteract your cycle to some extent by haB．itually staying up later than you want to. Ifyour energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, risebeforeyour usual hour. This won&39;t change your cycle, but you&39;ll get up steam and work better at yourlow point.

Get off to aslow start which saves your energy. Get up with aleisurely yawn and stretch. Siton the edge of the bed aminute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the trouble of search-ing for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work inthe afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.

If aperson finds getting up early aproblem， most probably__________. 查看材料

A.he is alazy person

B.he refuses to follow his own cycle

C.he is not sure when his energy is low

D.he is at his peak in the afternoon or evening

根据内容回答题。

Early or Later Day Care

The British psychoanalyst John Bowlby maintains that separation from the parents during the sensitive "attachment" period from birth to three may scar a child&39;s personality and predispose to emotional problems in later life. Some people have drawn the conclusion from Bowlby&39;s work that children should not be subjected to day care before the age of three because of the parental sepa- ration it entails, and many people do believe this. But there are also arguments against such a strong conclusion.

Firstly, anthropologists point out that the insulated love affair between children and parents found in modem societies does not usually exist in traditional societies. For example, in some tribal societies, such as the Ngoni, the father and mother of a child did not rear their infant a- lone far from it. Secondly, common sense tells us that day care would not be so widespread to- day if parents, care-takers found children had problems with it. Statistical studies of this kind have not yet been carried out, and even if they were, the results would be certain to be complicat- ed and controversial. Thirdly, in the last decade there have been a number of careful American studies of children in day care, and they have uniformly reported that day care had a neural or slightly positive effect on children&39;s development. But tests that have had to be used to measure this development are not widely enough accepted to settle the issue.

But Bowlby&39;s analysis raises the possibility that early day care has delayed effects. The possi- bility that such care might lead to, say, more mental illness or crime 15 or 20 years later can only be explored by the use of statistics. Whatever the long-term effects, parents sometimes find the immediate effects difficult to deal with. Children under three are likely to protest at leaving their parents and show unhappiness. At the age of three or three and a half almost all children find the transition to nursery easy, and this is undoubtedly why more and more parents make use of child care at this time. The matter, then, is far from clear-cut, though experience and available evi- dence indicate that early care is reasonable for infants.

Which of the following statements would Bowlby support？查看材料

A.Children under three get used to the life at nursery schools more readily than children over three.

B.The first three years of one"s life is extremely important to the later development of personality.

C.Early day care can delay the occurrence of mental illness in children.

D.Statistical studies should be carried out to assess the positive effect of day care for children at the age of three or older.

根据以下材料，回答题。

Smuggling

It is not unusual for a pet to be sent by air cargo from Columbia to New York， but last December"s shipment of a 4-year-old sheep dog caught a New York Kennedy Airport Customs inspector"s eye. The dog looked to be on its last legs， and there was an unusual lump on the side of its body. An X-ray and emergency surgery revealed the presence of 10 condoms tightly packed with five pounds of cocaine that had been surgically implanted in the dog"s abdomen——yet another first for Customs in the war on drugs.

When it comes to transporting drugs， the methods used are only as limited as a smuggler"s imagination. Kilo bricks of cocaine are routinely concealed beneath false bottoms of containers that hold poisonous snakes. "You"ve got snakes that are 12 feet long，" says a United States Fish and Wildlife Service agent——and sometimes the drug is in the snake. "Who"s going to pull it out.

In 1994， United States Customs seized 204，391 pounds of cocaine ，559，286 pounds of marijuana and 2，577 pounds of heroin， just how much actually flows into the country is anyone"s guess. Some Customs officials estimate that only 10 percent of the drugs coming into the country are ever seized. In Miami， the District Attorney won"t even prosecute small fry. "It"s got to be over five kilos of cocaine ，above a kilo of heroin and more than 5，000 pounds of marijuana or it"s not something that we"re going to stop the presses on " says Tom Cash， a retired agent.

Given this deluge， one can only wonder if agents are ever confounded by some of the smuggling methods. "There are things we haven"t seen before，" says John McGhee， a Miami Customs special agent， "but nothing really surprises us. "

The dog was different from others because 查看材料

A.it was very attractive

B.it could stand only on its hind legs

C.it had only two legs

D.it had a very big abdomen

根据下面材料，回答题。

Estee Lauder Died

1 The child of Central European immigrants who created an international cosmetics (化妆品)empire and became one of the most influential women in US, died on Saturday. Estee Lauder died at her home in Manhattan, New York City, a company spokeswoman said. She was 97.

2 Born in Queens, New York in 1908, Lauder was the daughter of a Hungarian mother and a Czech father.

3 Lauder began her business career by selling skincare products developed by her uncle John Schotz, a chemist, to beauty salons (美容院) and hotels. In 1930, she married Joseph Lauder who became her partner. The company, which became known as Estee Lauder, took off after World War II.

4 In 1953, the company introduced its first perfume (香水), Youth Dew, the first of a range of fragrances that has now grown to more than 70. They include: Aramis, a line of products forb men, launched in 1964; and Clinique, a range of odourless (无臭的) cosmetics, which followed in 1968.

5 By the time she retired in 1995, Lauder was presiding over a multibillion-dollar enterprise,which now ranks number 349 in the Fortune 500 list of largest US companies. In 1998, she was the only woman to feature in Time magazine&39;s selection of the 20 most important business geniuses of the last century. There were two secrets to her success: her gift for selling things and her tireless energy and determination never to accept second best.

6 Even after her retirement at the age of 89, Lauder remained closely involved. Beauty, Lauder believed, was the most important thing in life.

7 She wrote in her 1985 autobiography, "Estee, a Success Story" : "In a perfect world, we&39;d all be judged on the sweetness of our souls. But in our less than perfect world, the woman who looks pretty has a distinct advantage and, usually, the last word. "

A.Early career

B.Childhood

C.Products

根据以下材料，回答题

Immigration and Problems

Hundreds of thousands of people supporting immigration rights in the US filled streets all over America in early 2006. Many held signs and American flags and asked to be treated as citizens—not criminals. Many of these supported legislation from Senator John McCain that would open a path to citizenship to immigrants who were already in the country illegally. Proposed legislation from other politicians called for stricter measures- including rounding up undocumented immigrants and sending them back to their home countries.

Canadian officials say that immigration applications continue to rise. Some want to keep the doors open. They need the labor. About 400，000 immigrants were allowed into the country in 2005，according to the Canadian Government statistics. However， all this growth means that cities need to adapt. New comers don"t always make a smooth transition into jobs for which they are skilled. So industries are using mentoring （辅导） programs to help new immigrants find proper jobs.

With the large numbers of undocumented African immigrants arriving in the Canary Islands and showing no sign of abating （减少）， the Spanish Government has decided to get tough. There will be no more mass amnesties （特赦） for illegals， and anyone coming to Spain without permission will be sent back， the government has announced. About 23，000 migrants （移民） landed on the islands in2006， and riots have erupted in some crowded reception centers. This has promoted local authorities to appeal to the United Nations for help.

France"s new immigration and integration law gives the government new powers to encourage high-skilled migration. It takes effect in 2007. The new law authorizes the government to identify particular professions where France has a talent shortage. Then the government will help these identified employers find immigrant workers with needed skills or qualifications. The selected foreign employees will be granted "skills and talents" visas， valid for three years. But some people show the concern that it"ll cause brain drain in developing countries.

Many immigrants in the US took to the streets in early 2006， demanding that __________ . 查看材料

A.John McCain be removed

B.they be sent back home

C.they be treated as citizens

D.their culture be protected

根据下面材料，回答题。

Calfing for Safe Celebrations

Last Fourth of July, Pete, a 14-year-old boy, was enjoying the lit-up skies and loud booms from the fireworks (烟花) being set off in his neighborhood. Suddenly, the evening took a terrible turn. A bottle rocket shot into his eye, immediately causing him terrible pain. His family rushed him to the emergency room for treatment. As a result of the injury, Pete developed glaucoma (青光眼) and cataracts (白内障). Today, Pete has permanent vision loss in his injured eye because of his bottle rocket injury.

June is Fireworks Eye Safety Awareness Month, and through its EyeSmart campaign, the American Academy of Ophthalmology (眼科学) wants to remind consumers to leave fireworks to professionals (专业人员). "There is nothing worse than a Fourth of July celebration ruined by someone being hit in the eye with a bottle rocket," said Dr John C. Hagan, clinical correspondent for the Academy and an ophthalmologist at Discover Vision Centers in Kansas City. "A safe celebration means letting trained professionals handle fireworks while you enjoy the show."

According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, more than 9,000 fireworks-related injuries happen each year. Of these, nearly-half are head-related injuries, with nearly 30 percent of these injuries to the eye. One-fourth of fireworks eye injuries result in permanent vision loss or blindness. Children are the most common victims of firework abuse (伤害), with those fifteen years old or younger accounting for 50 percent of fireworks eye injuries in the United States. Dr Hagan estimates that his practice sees more than 30 injuries each year from fireworks.

Even fireworks that many people consider safe represent a threat to the eyes. For children under the age of five, apparently harmless sparklers (花炮) account for one-third of all fireworks injuries. Sparklers can bum at nearly 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit (华氏).

What happened to Pete last Fourth of July？查看材料

A.He was burned in a house fire

B.He was hurt in a fight

C.He was caught in a heavy rain

根据以下材料，回答题。A Debate on the English LanguageA measure declaring English the nation

根据以下材料，回答题。

A Debate on the English Language

A measure declaring English the national language is under intense debate in the United States. The US Senate passed two declarations last week. One calls English the nation"s official language and the other says it is the "common and unifying（统一的） "tongue. But Americans found themselves divided on the issue.

Since people worldwide know that most Americans speak only English， many can"t understand why the issue is so controversial（有争议的）.

"The discussion is related to fears of immigration issues， "says Dick Tucker， a social scientist at Pittsburgh"s Carnegie Mellon University. "It"s related to a worry about the changing demography（人口统计） of the "US It"s a worry， about who will continue to have political and economic influence.

In fact， the notion of protecting the language has been kicked around almost since the nation"s founding. John Adams lobbied（游说）in 1780 for the creation of a national academy to correct and improve the English language. But his proposal died， since lawmakers saw it as a royalist（保皇主义者） attempt to define personal behavior.

Since then， the country hasn"t had a national language，but the idea of recognizing the special status of English lived on.

The emotions surrounding language resurface （再次浮现）not because people feel comfortable with English. It is more about the discomfort many Americans feel with the new languages， says Walt Wolfram， a professor at North Carolina State University.

"Language is never about language，" he says.

According to the 2000 US Census Bureau report，of209 million Americans over 18 years old，172 million speak only English at home. About 37 million speak languages other than English.Among them，6.5 million speak poor English and 3.1 million don"t speak English at all.

What are the two declarations concerned with？查看材料

A.The status of the English language.

B.The protection of new languages.

C.The rights to speak one"s mother tongue.

D.The improvement of the English language.

请根据短文内容，回答题。

Political Spins

Last week, US White House spokesman Tony Snow sent journalists digging for their dictionaries. He called recent criticism by the former President Bill Clinton "chutzpah" (大胆放肆).

With just. one sentence, Snow managed to make headlines, a joke and a defense of President George W. Bush. Interestingly, this is how battles are fought and won in US politics--with carefully-worded one-liners (一行自幕新闻 ) made for TV which often lack substance and clarity (清晰度) .

"The amount of information that candidates attempt to communicate to people is actually getting smaller and smaller," said Mark Smith, a political science professor at Cedarville University.

This has been accompanied by a changing media environment, Smith said. In 1968, the average TV or radio soundbite (演讲中的句子或短语) was 48 seconds, according to Smith. In 1996, the average soundbite had shrunk to 8 seconds. Thus, politicians wanting publicity try to make their public communication as quotable as possible.

Campaigning politicians also use 30-second TV ads and clever campaign slogans to boost their messages. Republican presidential candidate John McCain rides to campaign stops in a bus named the "Straight Talk Express". McCain hopes the name will convince voters he plans to tell people the truth--whether it&39;s in fashion or not. Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton,on the other hand, has chosen the campaign slogan "Let the conversation begin". She hopes it will help her appear open-minded and friendly.

But one-liners, TV ads and campaign slogans all have a single key ingredient: something commonly called political "spin". Brooks Jackson, a former journalist and the current director of the non-partisan (无党派的) website FactCheck. org, calls spin "just a polite word for deception (欺骗) "

"I do believe that very often politicians believe their own spin," said Jackson. Strong partisans suffer from a universal human tendency: They ignore the evidence that would force them into the uncomfortable position of having to change their minds and admit that they were wrong.

Which statement is NOT true of one-liners？查看材料

A.They are unclear

B.They contain a lot of information

C.They lack substance

D.They are carefully constructed
