A
Britons Learn to Forgive
LEEDS, England ─ A Leeds University psychology (心理学) professor is teaching a course to help dozens of Britons forgive their enemies.
"The hatred we hold within us is a cancer," Professor Ken Hart said, adding that holding in anger can lead to problems such as high blood pressure and heart disease.
More than 70 people have become members in Hart's first 20-week workshop in London ─ a course he says is the first of its kind in the world.
These are people who are sick and tired of living with a memory. They realize their bitterness is a poison they think they can pour out, but they end up drinking it themselves, said Canadian-born Hart.
The students meet in groups of eight to ten for a two-hour workshop with an adviser every fortnight.
The course, ending in July, is expected to get rid of the cancer of hate in these people. "People have lots of negative attitudes towards forgiveness," he said. "People confuse forgiveness with forgetting. Forgiveness means changing from a negative attitude to a positive one."
Hart and his team have created instructions to provide the training needed.
"The main idea is to give you guidelines on how to look at various kinds of angers and how they affect you, and how to change your attitudes towards the person you are angry with," said Norman Claringbull, a senior expert on the forgiveness project.
Hart said he believes forgiveness is a skill that can be taught, as these people "want to get free of the past".
46.From this passage we know that ______.
A. high blood pressure and heart disease are caused by hatred
B. high blood pressure can only be cured by psychology professors
C. without hatred, people will have less trouble connected with blood and heart
D. people who suffer from blood pressure and heart disease must have many enemies
47.If you are angry with somebody, you should ______.
A. try your best to defeat him or her
B. never meet him or her again
C. persuade him or her to have a talk with you
D. try to build up a positive attitude towards the person
48. In Hart's first 20-week workshop, people there can ___.
A. meet their enemies
B. change their minds
C. enjoy the professor's speech
D. learn how to quarrel with others
49. If you are a member in Hart' s workshop, you'll ______.
A. pay much money to Hart
B. go to the workshop every night
C. attend a gathering twice a month
D. pour out everything stored in your mind
50. The author wrote this passage in order to ________.
A. persuade us to go to Hart's workshop
B. tell us the news about Hart's workshop
C. tell us how to run a workshop like Hart's
D. help us to look at various kinds of angers
B
In Stockholm, the Swedish Academy has chosen the British author Doris Lessing for the 2007 Nobel Prize in Literature.
The selection of Doris Lessing for a Nobel was popular among the hundreds of journalists gathered for the announcement in Stockholm.
Permanent Secretary of the Swedish Academy Horace Engdahl said with skepticism, fire and visionary power Lessing has subjected a divided civilization to scrutiny.
Doris Lessing was born in 1919 in Persia - modern-day Iran - to British parents, moving as a child with her family to southern Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe, where she stayed in school only to the age of 14.
A year after moving to London, she published her first novel in 1950. The Grass is Singing examines unbridgeable racial conflict in colonial Africa through the eyes of a white farmer's wife and her black servant.
A member of the British Communist Party during the 1950s and a campaigner against nuclear arms and South African apartheid, Lessing was for years banned from that country and from Rhodesia.
Her literary breakthrough came in 1962 with publication of The Golden Notebook, seen by many, though not necessarily Lessing, as a pioneering work of modern feminism. A disjointed study of the mind of the main character, Anna Wulf, the novel explores her thoughts about Africa, politics and communism, relationships with men and sex, and Jungian analysis and dream interpretation.
Lessing's themes shifted to psychology in her works from the 1960s, and by the 1970s she was fascinated with the Islamic mystic tradition of Sufism. Her turn toward science fiction with the Canopus series in the early 1980s was not warmly received by traditionalist critics, but she has continued to win new readers and numerous literary awards, including the David Cohen British Literary Prize and the Companion of Honour from the Royal Society of Literature, both in 2001.
Following the announcement, the Horace Engdahl told VOA why he was personally so pleased with Lessing's selection.
"She is one of the truly great writers - of novels, short stories, fiction and non-fiction," Engdahl said. "She is one of the few writers who have had the courage to uphold the principle of equality between the male and female experience, and she has given the impulse to numbers of other women writers. And she is really the mother of a school that is one of the most important in our contemporary literature."
At 87, Doris lessing is the oldest Nobel Literature laureate since the first prizes were awarded in 1901. Each Nobel Prize is this year accompanied by a check for approximately $1.4 million.
51. How old was Doris Lessing when she published her first novel?
A. 14 B. 26 C. 31 D. 50
52. Which of the following about The Grass is Singing is true?
A. It is mainly about racial conflict between the whites and the blacks in the US.
B. The main characters are a white farmer’s wife and her black servant.
C. It was published in Africa.
D. It was Doris Lessing’s most famous novel.
53. We can infer from the passage that __________.
A. Journalists are very interested in the election of Doris Lessing’s for Nobel Prize.
B. Doris Lessing regard The Golden Notes as a pioneering work of feminism.
C. Doris Lessing has written about many different subjects.
D. Many writers have the courage to stick to the equality between the male and female experience.
54. The underlined word school in the last but one paragraph means________.
A. institution for educating children
B. college or university
C. department of a university
D. group of writers, thinkers
55. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?
A. Doris Lessing wins Nobel Prize for literature.
B. The greatest British female writer.
C. The oldest Nobel Prize winner.
D. 2007 Nobel Prize announced in Stockholm.
C
In America, drivers’ education is part of the regular high school curriculum. Every student in his or her second year of high school is required to take a class in driver’s education. However, unlike other courses, it is not given during the regular school year. Instead it is a summer course.
The course is divided up into two parts: class time for learning laws and regulations and driving time to practice driving. Class time is not unlike any other class. The students have a text from which they study the basic laws they must know to pass the written driving test that is given to anyone wanting to get a driver’s license.
Driving time is a chance for the students to get behind the wheel (steering wheel) and practice starting steering, backing up, parking, switching lanes, turning corners, and all the other maneuvers (操作) required to drive a car. Each student is required to drive a total of six hours. The students are divided up into groups of four. The students and the instructor go out driving for two hour blocks of time. Thus, each student gets half an hour driving time per outing. The instructor and “driver” sit in the front seats and the other three students sit in the back.
Drivers Ed cars are unlike other cars in which they have two sets of brakes, one on the driver’s side and one on the other side where the instructor sits. Thus, if the student driver should run into difficulties the instructor can take over. The car also has another special feature. On the top of the car is a sign that reads: STUDENT DRIVER. That lets nearby drivers know that they should use extra caution because the student driver is a beginning driver, not very experienced and prone to driving slowly.
After the student has passed the driver’s education course and reached the appropriate age to drive (this age differs in every state but in most cases the person must be 16 years old), they can go to a designated state office to take their driver’s test, which is made up of an eye examination, a written test, and a road test. The person must pass all three tests in order to be given a driver’s license. If the person did well in his or her driver’s education class, he or she will pass the test with flying colors and get a driver’s license.
56. Which of the following is the best title for this passage?
A. Driving Classes.B. Driving Learning.
C. Driving Course.D. Driving Experience.
57.In America, the driver’s course mentioned above _____.
A. is considered as part of the advanced education
B. is given to any student wanting to get a driver’s license
C. is carried on at the same time as other courses
D. is offered to all the students of Grade 2 in high schools
58.To prevent accidents, a drivers Ed car _____.
A. has a sign inside itB. has two sets of brakes
C. is big enough to hold five personsD. can’t run very fast
59.Which of the following does not agree with the requirements for the students wanting to get their driver’s license?
A. They must be 16 years of age.
B. They should go to have their driver’s test.
C. They must have their eyes examined.
D. They ought to do well in their driver’s course.
60.In the last sentence, “with flying colors” means _____.
A. happilyB. successfullyC. colorfullyD. quickly

F. Nuits Sonores Lyon, France
Held each May, this relatively new festival brings together some of the biggest club DJs from around the world.

Let’s all take action now and contribute to the prosperity of our mother ? the earth.
Thank you!
听力稿 对话1
W: My parents were discussing our holiday plans yesterday. They're taking Susan and me to France. Where are you going?
M: Nowhere. It'll be too much money with nine of us ten children.
W: I suppose so. But at least you can have a good time together. Susan's too young. I often feel lonely and wish I had someone to share things with.
M: I've got too many people to share with. As soon as I'm old enough, I'll have to leave school and get a job to help the family. Anyhow I couldn't study. I share a room with three brothers and there's always noise.
W: But when you're old enough, some of you will still live close enough to keep in touch with your parents. And you must have a lot of fun.
M: Yes, that's true. Life is never dull. But when I get married, I won't have more than two children.
对话2
W: Now, you say you're not sure how the thieves got in. Before I look around, can I ask you a few questions about the house?
M: Of course.
W: Do you lock the front door when you go out? Do you always lock the front door?
M: Yes, and I am sure I locked it yesterday.
W: Ok, what about the windows?
M: Well, the downstairs ones are always locked. We even have a lock on the little one in the hall.
W: And upstairs?
M: Well, I think most of the windows were probably locked. They were all locked on Friday.
W: And you didn't open any on Friday night?
M: No, I am sure I didn't.
W: Well, I can't understand it. Let's go and look around. Perhaps I'll notice something you've missed.
对话3
M: Hello! I'm calling about the apartment you advertised in the paper this morning. Is it still available?
W: There were two: a 3-bedroom and 2-bedroom. But the larger one has been rented.
M: That's OK. I was only interested in the 2-bedroom. Can you tell me what it's like?
W: Well, it's quite spacious and has sun most of the day. It also has an eat-in kitchen and plenty of closet place.
M: That sounds good. The ad said the rent was $525 a month. Does that include heating and electricity?
W: No.
M: I see. And what about parking.
