It is surprising many everyday English that Americans use today come from the card game of poker.

     For example,you hear them say like ace (王牌) in the hole. In poker and most card games,the ace is the highest and most useful card. It is often a winning card. In one kind of poker game,a player does not show this card to the other players. The players bet money each time they get another card. No one knows until the end of the game. Often,the ace in the hole wins the game.

     Another everyday English,dealing off the bottom,now means “be not honest” in business. And when someone tells you that the cards are bad for you,maybe you really have a chance to win.

     In a poker game you do not want to let your opponents (對手) know if your cards are good or bad. So having a poker face is important. A poker face never shows either good or bad feelings.

      You can do a better job if you hold your cards close to your vest. You hold your cards close to you so no one can see what you have. In everyday speech,holding your cards close to your vest means not letting others know what you are doing or thinking. You are keeping your plans secret.

1. In card games,an ace is usually card.

   A. the most useful   B. the biggest

   C. the oldest   D. the most beautiful

2. If somebody says that you are dealing off the bottom,he may.

   A. like you   B. want to talk with you

   C. be angry with you   D. be very happy

3. In everyday speech,holding your cards close to your vest tells you

   A. to put your clothes on the cards

   B. to tell your friends your feelings

   C. not to make others know your secret

   D. not to tell others your address

4. What can we learn from the passage?

   A. You will probably succeed if you have an ace in the hole.

   B. Everybody will like you if you deal off the bottom.

   C. A poker face never shows bad feelings except good ones.

   D. The person who has a poker face will win the game at last.

5. What is the best title for the passage?

   A. An Ace in the Hole

   B. Dealing Off the Bottom

   C. A Poker Face

   D. Expressions from the Poker Game

1. A 2. C 3. C 4. A 5. D

2. C推理判斷題。由第三段第一句now means ‘be not honest’ in business. ” 可知，dealing off the bottom 意思是 “在欺詐”，因此判斷，如果有人說你欺詐的話他肯定對 你很生氣，故選C.

3. C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由最后一段not letting others know what you are doing or thinking."可知，口語中 holding your cards dose to your vest告訴你別讓別人知道你做 什么和想什么，即要保守秘密。

4. A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。通讀全文，只有選項A符合文章大意，即如果你手里有王牌的話你可能就會成功。故選A.

    It is necessary to share your feelings with others. Sharing your feelings helps you to get closer to people you care about and who care about you.

   Sometimes it can be really hard not to tell anyone that you’re feeling sad,worried,or upset （心煩的) . Don’t keep feelings locked inside. If that,it can even make you feel sick!

But if you talk with someone who cares for you,like your mom or dad,you will not be all alone with your problems or worries. It doesn’t mean your problems and worries go off,but at least someone else knows what your trouble is and can help you find ways to do with it.

   If the person doesn’t understand what you mean right away,try explaining it a different way or give an example that has something to do with you. Of course,there are many ways for you to speak up your feelings. If you think you’ll have trouble saying what's on your mind,write it down on a piece of paper.

   Some of us,just like some adults,are more private (有隱私的) than others. That means some people will feel shy about sharing their feelings. A kid doesn’t have to share every feeling he or she has,but it is important to share feelings when a kid needs help.

   Reading is becoming more and more important in language learning and is still the most effective (有效 的) activity to get information.

   There are three possible ways to improve reading. The fastest is probably a speed reading class with good books and teachers. It is quite usual for a slow reader to increase two or three times his reading efficiency (效 率) during a two-day class with a positive atmosphere (氣氛) ，carefully picked texts and reading tests. However,this encouraging improvement often fades (消退) with time.

   A book about speed reading is the second method. Such a book usually gives speed and comprehension (理解) tests as well as ways to improve reading. It often has all kinds of methods to make you pay attention to or be interested in the text. All the methods need a lot of time as well as hard work from the reader.

    Finally,a speed reading computer program is probably the most effective way to achieve top reading levels. Computers give special exercises to improve reading efficiency. Higher reading skills got with a computer screen can change to reading from paper. Unfortunately the inverse (轉(zhuǎn)變) way does not work so well. Speed reading software (軟件) gives enjoyable and fast reading training,thus giving the practice necessary to break long-time slow reading habits. This is the task that reading classes and speed reading books usually can't give to the reader.

     What do you call a school with no tests,no grades,no classes,and no teachers? Students of the Met School and their parents think it to be the best school in the world.

    The school is in Rhode Island,the USA. Dennis Littky opened it in 1996. He was fired from two other schools,because many parents of the school students were happy with his unusual ideas. The school takes poor kids who are failing at schools. Nearly everybody has already given up these students and their parents want to try anything. The Met School gives Littky a great place to try out his new ideas.

    “The word that most kids use when they talk about high school is ‘boring”” says Littky. “But no one would say the Met was boring. ” Advisors ( not teachers) work with small groups of students for four years. Students spend almost half of their school time learning real-life skills,such as working for business,spending time with government people,and helping teach younger children. Instead of tests,the students give shows about their work outside school.
