7．It was my first day back home since starting college．A lot had changed in the last year．Not with my hometown but with me．I had left as a 17-year-old boy and had now returned as an 18-year-old man．In the city，I was living on my own，had a part-time job and was studying．Even the government recognized I was an adult； I had a driver's license．So here I was，on my summer vacation，walking down the main street with my father，desperate for him to acknowledge how mature I was．When his recognition failed to appear，I took matters into my own hands．"Dad，"I said casually，"I'm thirsty．Let's go for a beer．"It was the first time I'd ever mentioned beer in front of my father，let alone ask him to drink one with me．
He turned to me with a curious expression on his face．"A beer？Well I guess you're old enough now．Let's go to Sailors'Bar．It's where my cousin Tom，your uncle，used to drink．You remember him，right？"
I had only some vague recollection of my uncle．He was the black sheep of the family---always in trouble．We didn't talk about him much．"What ever happened to Uncle Tom，Dad？I haven't seen him in years，"I said as we continued towards the bar．
"Neither have I，unfortunately．He was a good kid once．But things changed，"my father said mournfully．As a boy，he explained，there had been no better-behaved boy than Tom．But after leaving school，he moved to the city and fell in with bad company．He started going out every night，drinking in nightclubs and playing cards．Soon he lost everything and had to beg his mum to pay his debts．She agreed on the condition he returned home．
My dad took a deep breath and continued his tale．"Things settled down for a while．He married a lovely woman，gave up his bad habits．But it didn't last．He was soon back to his old ways．He couldn't resist．He was at Sailors'Bar almost every night．His poor mother died of grief and shame．His wife followed her soon after．
"What ruined him was alcohol．He told me once，when a man begins drinking，he never knows where it'll end．‘So'，Tom warned me，‘beware of your first drink!'
"He went from bad to worse．Last year Tom sent me a letter saying he had been found guilty of stealing，and sent to prison for ten years．"
Dad finished talking just as we reached the front of Sailors'Bar．"Anyway，here we are．Let's go in，"he said．But I understood．I put my arm around my father and said，"I'm not thirsty anymore，Dad．Let's go home．"


26．Why did the young man invite his father to drink a beer？C
A．Because he was thirsty．
B．Because he missed his father．
C．Because he wanted to show he was an adult．
D．Because he wanted to discuss his Uncle Tom．
27．What was the main source of Uncle Tom's problems？D
A．His overly-strict family．
B．His addiction to card games．
C．The deaths of his mother and wife．

"You are great!You look like a dancing butterfly!"watching her for a long time，then he said．

Hearing the boy's words，the girl couldn't help crying．Then the boy sang again while the girl danced．
Later the boy went quietly，but he was regretless，because he gave the last song in his life to the girl．
Soon the girl's operation succeeded，she saw everything and knew the truth，too．To people's surprise，the peach didn't blossom that year．

2．The paper is written in an attempt to discuss what the creative process is．Though much theory has accumulated，little is really known about the power that lies at the bottom of poetic creation．It is true that great poets and artists produce beauty by employing all the powers of personality and by combing emotions，reason，and intuitions（直覺）．But what is the magical synthesis（合成） that joins and arranges these complex parts into poetic unity？
John L．Lowes，in his justly famous"The Road to Xanadu，"developed one of the earliest and still generally acceptable answers to this interesting question．Imaginative creation．He concludes，is a complex process in which the conscious and unconscious minds jointly operate．"there is …．the deep well with its chaos（雜亂） of accidently mixing images，but there is likewise the vision which sees shining in and through the chaos of the potential lines of form，and with the vision，the controlling will，which gives to that potential beauty actuality．"
The deep well is the unconscious mind that is peopled with the facts，ideas，feelings of the conscious activity．The imaginative vision，an unconscious activity，shines through the land of chaos，of lights and shadows，silently seeking pattern and form．Finally，the conscious mind again，through will，captures and embodies the idea in the final work of art．In this way is unity born out of chaos．
Though there can be no absolute certainty，there is general agreement  that the periods in the development of a creative work parallel（與…．相似），to some extent，Lowes's theory of well，vision，form and will．There are at least three stages in the creative process：preparation，inspiration，work．
In a sense，the period of preparation is all of the writer's life．It is the deep well．It is especially a period of concentration which gives the unconscious mind an opportunity to communicate with the conscious mind．When remembrance of things past reaches the conscious level of the writer's mind，he is ready to go on with the process．Part of this preparation involves learning a medium---learning a language，learning how to write，learning literary forms．It is important to note here that form cannot be imposed upon the idea．Evidence，though not enough，shows that the idea gives birth to the form that can best convey it．It is the vision，according to Lowes，that sees shining in and through the chaos of the potential lines of form．
（Answer the questions or complete the statements in no more than TEN words）

78．John L．Lowes has provided an acceptable answer to the question ofwhatthecreativeprocessis．

12．I've always felt a bit sad for weekend fathers，who are divorced and must maintain a bond with their children through visits on the weekend．Not having the opportunity for a lot of quality time，they go in for quantity-giving lots of gifts and taking the children on non-stop outings．
　　But now I can understand．I'm a weekend mom．My child，Henry，is a dog．

　　Jack and I broke up a year ago．But neither of us wanted to part with Henry，so we share him．Not surprisingly，Henry is a willing participant in our contest for his love．

　　That hurt，especially since I had friends over at the time．In a rare conciliatory （安撫的） mood，Jack said to me，"You know，I'm his best friend，but you'll always be his mom．"

4．While small may be beautiful，tall is just plain uncomfortable it seems，particularly when it comes to staying in hotels and eating in restaurants．
    The Tall Persons Club Great Britain （TPCGB），which was formed six months ago to campaign for the needs of the tall，has turned its attention to hotels and restaurants．Beds that are too small，showe heads that are too low，and restaurant tables with hardly any leg-room all make life difficult for those of above average height，it says．
    But it is not just the extra-tall whose needs are not being met．The average night of the population has been increasing ye the standard size of beds，doorways，and chairs has remained unchanged．]
"The bedding industry says a bed should be six inches larger than the person using it，so even a king-size bed at 6′6″（6feet and 6inches） is falling short for 25% of men，while the standard 6′3″bed caters for less than half of the male population．"Said TPCGB president Phil Heinricy，"seven-foot beds would work fine．"
     Sililarly，restaurant tables can cause no end of problems．Small tables，which mean the long-legged have to sit a foot or so away from them，are enough to make tall customers go elsewhere．
    Some have already taken note，however．At Queens Moat Houses′Caledoman Hotl in Edinburgh，6′6″beds are now put in as standard after requests for longer beds from taller visitors，particularly Americans．

64．What is the purpose of the TPCGB campaign？C
A．To provide better services．
B．To rebuild hotels and restaurants．
C．To draw public attention to the needs of the tall．
D．To attract more people to become its members．
65．Which of the following might be a bed of proper length according to Phil Heinricy？B
A.7′2″．B.7′C.6′6″D.6′3″
66．What may happen to restaurants with small tables？A
A．They may lose some customers．
B．They may start businesses elsewhere．
C．They have to find easy chairs to match the tables．
D．They have to provide enough space for the long-legged．
67．What change has already been made in a hotel in Edinburgh？B
A．Tall people pay more for larger beds．
B.6′6″beds have taken the place of 6′3″beds．
C．Special rooms are kept for Americans．
