Reading Comprehension
Passage One
Many American women are earning money outside their homes today. Among women who
are eighteen to sixty-four years old, fifty percent have jobs.
In general, working women have had more education than those who stay at home. Of course those who work, thirty-two percent of them have attended college, compared with twenty percent of those who do not have jobs.
Among women with jobs, eight out of ten drive a car to work, and eight percent take a vacation away from home during the past year. Much of the traveling is by air.
These figures come from a report which was written for advertisers. It offers a new picture of women today. For instance, it tells advertisers that fifty-one percent of all American women have traveled by air—along with fifty-nine percent of all American men.

Passage Two
Advertising has become more and more popular in modern times. In the business world of to
day, supply is usually greater than demand. There is great competition between different manufacturers of the same kind of product to persuade customers to buy their own particular brand. They always remind the customers of the name and the qualities of their products. They do this by advertising.

sums of money on advertisements.

Passage Three
Today the game reserves (猎物保护区)of East Africa are facing a number of threats. Al
though they earn considerable revenue (收入)by attracting tourists, they take up land which is increasingly sought by the local people. While these reserves feed and protect animals, they are in danger of turning into barren areas or deserts. Trees, shrubs and grass are gradually being eaten by grazing hems.
Another problem is to be found in the changing attitudes of the animals themselves. Many of them are losing their hereditary(天生的)fear of man. In this way they may become a danger to visitors and thus to themselves. Attacks on vehicles are beginning to increase, and it is possible that the problems will become serious in a few years' time.
The problem of shortage of land is not a simple one. As the population increases, more and more people look hungrily at the land set aside for game reserves. They claim that a Government' s first duty is to its inhabitants and not to tourists or to wild animals. Despite the income obtained from tourism, this is an argument which it is difficult to answer satisfactorily.

Passage Four
In the world in which we live today, a man may be one thing but appear to be another. This
was impossible in Indian society. An Indian's name told the world what he was -- a coward, a liar, a thief, or a brave.
When I was young, every Indian had at least three names during his lifetime. His first name was given to him at birth. It described something that had happened at that time.
Each Indian was supposed to keep his birth name until he was old enough to earn money for himself. But his friends 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.
The Indian earned his real name when he was old enough for his first fight against the enemy, his life name depended on how he acted during this first battle. When he returned he would be given his tribal name by the chief. If he had done well, he would be given a good name. But if he had done poorly, he might be given a bad name.
A man was given many chances to improve his name, however. If in a later battle he was ver
y brave in fighting against the enemy, he was given a better name. Some Indians had as many as twelve names -- all good and each better than the last.
All names given to one Indian belonged to him for the rest of his life. No one else could use
them. Even he himself could not give them away . This was because no man could pass on his name unless the chief and the tribe asked him to do so.
16. According to the passage, Indian names were important because they ___A___.
A. described the character of a man D. described the appearance of a man
C. were never used by other people B. told us his profession

A. The chief B. The tribe
C. His childhood friends D. His parents
18. According to the fourth paragraph, we know an Indian's "tribal name" refers to his _D_____.
A. first name B. second name C. nickname D. life name
19. An Indian could get better names if he ___A___.
A. did well in later battles B. got old enough
C. became a coward D. became a liar
20. The sentence in the sixth paragraph ”no one could pass on his name" may mean that __B____.
A. no one could change his name by himself B. no one could give his name to a son
C. no one could give his name away D. no one could give up his name
Passage Five
To be a good teacher, you need some of the gifts of a good actor: you must be able to hold the
attention of your audience; you must be a clever speaker, with a good, strong, pleasing voice which is fully under your control; and you must be able to act what you are teaching, in order to make its meaning clear.
The fact that a good teacher has some of the gifts of a actor doesn't mean that he will indeed be able to act well on the stage, for there are very important differences between the teacher's work and actor's. The actor has to speak words which he has learnt by heart; he has to repeat exactly the same words each time he plays a certain part, even his movements and the ways in which he uses his voice are usually fixed beforehand. What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions seem natural on the stage.
A good teacher works in quite a different way. His audience takes an active part in his play; they ask and answer questions, they obey orders, and if they don't understand something, they say no. The teacher therefore has to suit his act to the needs of his audience, which is his class. He cannot learn his part by heart, but must invent it as he goes along.
21. The word "gifts" in line 1 means __D_____.
A. presents B. cleverness
C. something belongs to a good actor D. the way a teacher should act in class
22. In what way is a teacher's work different from an actor's? B
A. The teacher must learn everything by heart.
B. He knows to control his voice better than an actor.
C. He has to deal with unexpected situations.
D. He has to use more facial expressions.
23. Which of the following is TRUE? B
A. A teacher's voice must be nicer than an actor.
B. A teacher cannot decide beforehand what exactly he is going to say in class.
C. A teacher must have better memory than an actor.
D. A teacher has to learn by heart what exactly ha is going to say in class.
24. There are some similarities between teachers and actors except _D______.
A. a good, strong and pleasing voice
B. the ability to hold the attention of listeners
C. you must be a clever speaker
D. the ability to control unexpected situation
25. According to the passage, which is the best title? A
A. Teachers and Actors B. How to Become a Good Teacher
C. A Good Teacher D. How to Become a Good Actor
