2.A new study suggests that the rundtheclck availability that cell phnes have brught t peple's lives may take a tll n family life.

Spillver essentially(本质上)means that the line between wrk and hme begins t becme unclear. Wrk life may invade hme life when a parent is taking jbrelated calls at hme,fr instance—r family issues may start t take up wrk time. Fr example,a child may call mum at wrk,telling her “micrwave explded”,explained Nelle Chesley,an assistant prfessr f scilgy at the University f WiscnsinMilwaukee and the authr f the study. The prblem with cell phnes seems t be that they are allwing fr even mre spillver between wrk and hme.

Cell phnes seem t be pening mre lines fr stressful exchanges amng family members. But there may be ways t cntrl the spillver,accrding t Chesley. Emplyers, she said,culd lk at their plicies n cntacting emplyees after hurs t make sure their expectatins are “reasnable”.Fr their part,emplyees culd decide that cell phnes g ff during family time, Chesley said.

The cat was bviusly hmeless and in pretty bad shape.Peple said that the cat came t the right place.He's getting treated like a king.This was true.but as I watched I was als thinking abut what the cat was ding fr us.There was a lt f talk abut what's wrng with prisns in America.We need mre prgrams.We need mre psychlgists r treatment f varius kinds.Sme may even talk abut making prisns mre kind.But I think what we really need is a chance t practise ur wn kindness.Nt receive it,but give it.After mre than tw decades here,I knw kindness is nt a value that's encuraged.It's ften seen as a weakness.
Instead,the culture encurages keeping yur head dwn,minding yur wn business,and never letting yurself be weak.

4. I am a writer. I spend a great deal f my time thinking abut the pwer f language—the way it can evke(唤起) an emtin, a visual image, a cmplex idea, r a simple truth. Language is the tl f my trade. And I use them all—all the Englishes I grew up with.
Brn int a Chinese family that had recently arrived in Califrnia, I’ve been giving mre thught t the kind f English my mther speaks. Like thers, I have described it t peple as “brken” English. But feel embarrassed t say that. It has always bthered me that I can think f n way t describe it ther than “brken”, as if it were damaged and needed t be fixed, as if it lacked a certain whleness. I’ve heard ther terms used, “limited English,” fr example. But they seem just as bad, as if everything is limited, including peple’s perceptins(认识)f the limited English speaker.
I knw this fr a fact, because when I was grwing up, my mther’s “limited” English limited my perceptin f her. I was ashamed f her English. I believed that her English reflected the quality f what she had t say. That is, because she expressed them imperfectly her thughts were imperfect. And I had plenty f evidence t supprt me: the fact that peple in department stres, at banks, and at restaurants did nt take her seriusly, did nt give her gd service, pretended nt t understand her, r even acted as if they did nt hear her.
I started writing fictin in 1985. And fr reasns I wn’t get int tday, I began t write stries using all the Englishes I grew up with: the English she used with me, which fr lack f a better term might be described as “brken”, and what I imagine t be her translatin f her Chinese, her internal(内在的) language, and fr that I sught t preserve the essence, but neither an English nr a Chinese structure: I wanted t catch what language ability tests can never shw; her intentin, her feelings, the rhythms f her speech and the nature f her thughts.
51. By saying “Language is the tl f my trade”, the authr means that ______.
A. she uses English in freign trade
B. she is fascinated by languages
C. she wrks as a translatr
D. she is a writer by prfessin
52. The authr used t think f her mther’s English as ______.
A. implite
B. amusing
C. imperfect
D. practical

A. Americans d nt understand brken English.
B. The authr’s mther was nt respected smetimes.
C. The authr’ mther had psitive influence n her.
D. Brken English always reflects imperfect thughts.
54. The authr gradually realizes her mther’s English is _____.
A. well structured
B. in the ld style
C. easy t translate
D. rich in meaning
55. What is the passage mainly abut?
A. The changes f the authr’s attitude t her mther’s English.
B. The limitatin f the authr’s perceptin f her mther.
C. The authr’s misunderstanding f “limited” English.
D. The authr’s experiences f using brken English.
5. Scieties all ver the wrld name places in similar ways. Quite ften there is n fficial naming ceremny but places tend t be called names as pints f reference by peple. Then an rganized bdy steps in and gives the place a name. Frequently it happens that a place has tw names: One is named by the peple and the ther by the gvernment. As in many areas, ld habits died hard, and the place cntinues t be called by its unfficial name lng after the meaning is lst.
Many rads and places in Singapre(新加坡) are named in rder that the pineers will be remembered by future generatins. Thus we have names such as Stamfrd Rad and Raffles Place. This is in keeping with traditins in many cuntries ---- in bth the West and the East.
Anther way f naming places is naming them after ther places. Perhaps they were named t prmte friendships between the tw places r it culd be that the peple wh used t live there were riginally frm the places that the rads were named after. The mystery is clearer when we see sme f the rads named in frmer British bases. If yu step int Selectr Airbase yu will see Piccadilly Circus ---- bviusly named by sme hmesick Ryal Air Frce persnnel.
Sme places were named after the activities that used t g n at thse places. Bras Basah Rad is an interesting example, “Base Basah” means “wet rice” in Malay(马来语). Nw why wuld anyne want t name a rad “Wet Rice Rad”? The reasn is simple. During the pineering days, wet rice was laid ut t dry alng this rad.
A few rads in Singapre are named by their shapes. There is “Circular Rad” fr ne. Other rads may have part f their names t describe their shapes, like “Paya Lebar Crescent”. This rad is called a crescent(月牙) because it begins n the main rad, makes a crescent and cmes back t jin the main rad again.
