【題目】Are you single or married? Are you a cat or a dog owner? Do you exercise, or are you a “couch potato”? These questions and many others are about your lifestyle.

People in the United States feel that they can choose their lifestyles and even shape their own identities. In newspapers, lifestyle issues are discussed in the features or style section. In the Chicago Tribune this section is called “Tempo”. People turn to this section for lively discussion on lifestyle choices they face with regard to their personal identities, their families, and their social lives.

Many American people believe that they can make their lives happy and satisfying despite their problems. If they lack confidence or tend to feel anxious, shy, angry, or depressed, they believe that they can change themselves. Self-help books, magazines, and feature articles are filled with advice from experts about steps to take to become a happier or more satisfied person and to improve one’s self-respect. Part of this research for self-improvement is a belief that even one’s own appearance can be controlled.

Lifestyle choices also involve moral and social issues. How should children be raised? How should people behave on a date? How should elderly people be treated? How can people stay happily married? All these kinds of issues are constantly discussed and are constantly changing.

Not only are experts such as psychologists consulted, but stars from the political and entertainment worlds are held up as lifestyle leaders as well. In the newspaper, some articles discuss in detail the personal lives or public work of famous movie stars, authors and artists. The lifestyle choices these people make contribute to the public discussion of all the issues that people think about.

A well-known advertising slogan is “Just do it.” In the culture of the United States, people believe that they can take action and become the kind of people they want to be and live the way they want to live.

【題目】‘Well,’ began Enfield, ‘I was coming home about three o’clock on a black winter morning, when suddenly I saw two people. The first was a short man who was walking along the street, and the second was a little girl who was running as fast as she could. Well, the two bumped into each other and the child fell down. Then a terrible thing happened. The man calmly walked all over the child’s body with his heavy boots, and left her screaming on the ground. It was an inhuman thing to do. I ran after the man, caught him and fetched him back. There was already a small crowd around the screaming child. The man was perfectly cool, but he gave me a very evil look, which made me feel sick in my stomach. The child’s family then arrived, and also a doctor. The child had been sent to fetch the doctor for a sick neighbor, and was on her way home again.

‘“The child is more frightened than hurt,” said the doctor — and that, you would think, was the end of the story. But, you see, I had taken a violent dislike to the short man. So had the child’s family — that was only natural. But the doctor, who seemed a quiet, kind man, was also looking at our prisoner with murder in his eyes.

‘The doctor and I understood each other perfectly. Together we shouted at the man, and told him we would tell this story all over London so that his name would be hated.

‘He looked back at us with a proud, black look. “Name your price,” he said.

‘We made him agree to a hundred pounds for the child’s family. With another black look, the man led us to that door over there. He took out a key and let himself into the building. Presently he came out and handed us ten pounds in gold and a cheque for ninety pounds from Coutts’s Bank. The name on the cheque was a well-known one.

‘“See here,” said the doctor doubtfully, “it isn’t usual for a man to walk into an empty house at four in the morning and come out with another man’s cheque for nearly a hundred pounds.”

‘“Don’t worry,” said the man with an ugly look, “I’ll stay with you until the banks open, and change the cheque myself.”

‘So we all went off, the doctor and the prisoner and myself, and spent the rest of the night at my house. In the morning we went together to the bank. Sure enough, the cheque was good, and the money was passed to the child’s family.’

【1】Which of the following is true according to the passage above?

A. The little girl was frightened as well as seriously hurt.

B. The doctor did not trust the short man and disliked him.

C. The short man willingly paid the little girl’s family a hundred pounds.

D. The doctor was present at the spot to see what was wrong with the little girl.

【2】Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “Presently” in the fifth paragraph?

A. Instantly. B. Constantly.

C. Consequently. D. Merely.

【3】Which of the following makes Enfield, the narrator of the story, puzzled most?

A. The doctor’s attitude towards the short man.

B. The validity of the cheque accepted by the bank.

C. The name on the cheque the short man produced.

D. The short man’s attitude towards what he had done.

【4】The cheque was written by ________.

A. Mr. Utterson, an upright lawyer

B. Mr. Jekyll, a well-known doctor

C. Doctor Lanyon, Mr. Jekyll’s friend

D. Mr. Hyde, the short man mentioned in the passage above

【題目】There are various advantages of using a pen name. In case the author writes on various topics or in different genres (體裁), using a pen name would be very useful. For example, let’s say an author is an expert in writing on serious topics, like business or finance, and also likes writing fiction stories, like romance. In such an author’s case, a pen name could save him from losing his readers as well as reputation.

Will you be okay with any pen name? No, you should make sure that it is easy to spell and pronounce. If you come up with a name that is difficult to pronounce, maybe your readers will not want to recommend your book to someone. They may not ask for your book at a library. Why? Because it could be pronounced wrongly and may sound foolish in front of others. This is the reason why your pen name should be easy to pronounce.

Not only should your pen name be easy to spell and pronounce, but it should also be professional. The idea is to get a name that should be memorable, not mock-able.

If you are trying to pen your pen name in a way that is too similar to an existing author’s pen name, you are doing yourself no good.

One small trick that could at least guarantee ‘a(chǎn) look at your book’ in the library is by using the correct initials. If you find that a particular best-selling author in your genre of writing has his name starting with ‘B’, maybe you could think of starting your pen name with ‘A’. People are going to search the library shelves from left to right to locate that famous author, and in the process, may come across your book.

Your pen name has to be distinguished because it is going to last all your life.

【1】When recommending your book with a pen name hard to pronounce, your readers may feel _________.

A. nervous B. cheerful

C. satisfied D. embarrassed

【2】If the author of a best-seller of your kind uses a pen name like Patricia, you’d better choose _________.

A. Sam B. Rebecca C. Verna D. Lauren

【3】What is the passage mainly about?

A. Benefits of using a proper pen name.

B. How to win plenty of readers and reputation.

C. Things to consider while choosing a pen name.

D. How to select a pen name when writing different genres.

【題目】Hospital emergency rooms treat injured fingers all the time．Without treatment, a bad cut can lead to permanent damage．But how should a person know when a bleeding cut is serious enough to require medical attention?

Here are some tips from Dr. Martin Brown, chairman of the department of emergency at Inova Alexandria Hospital in Virginia．

1． Laceration （裂口）

The medical term for a cut or tear in the skin is a laceration．【1】 A long cut on a finger can likely be treated without a visit to a doctor if the wound is not very deep. However, if you have a short but deep laceration, you will need professional attention．

2． Fingertips cut off

Some injuries, like a fingertip that gets cut off, might even need surgery to repair．【2】More often, cutting down the bone is what is done because reattaching a fingertip is often not successful．

3． Bleeding

【3】 Small cuts usually produce what is known as venous （靜脈的） bleeding． This means the blood flows steadily from the injury．The bleeding will often stop when pressure is put on the wound． In most cases holding direct pressure with a clean cloth for four to rive minutes would do．But if a cut appears to be pumping blood out with some force, this may be a sign of arterial （動(dòng)脈的）bleeding．【4】

Finally, always keep this in mind: even a cut that does not require medical attention must be kept clean to prevent infection． Small cuts should be cleaned gently with clean water． 【5】 Then cover it with a clean, dry bandage．

A．How a wound bleeds can be a sign of how serious it is．

B．That requires a specialist to either cut down the bone or reattach the fingertip

C．This kind of injury should be treated by a medical professional as soon as possible．

D．The first signs of this disease include difficulty in opening the mouth．

E．Use a washcloth to clean the area if the wound is dirty．

F．With a cut finger, holding the hand above the heart can reduce the loss of blood．

G．The length is usually not as important as the depth．
