7、lain the American English term OK. We dont know if either story is true, but they are both interesting.The first explanation is based on the fact that President Jackson had very little education. In fact, he had difficulty reading and writing. When important papers came to Jackson, he tried to read

8、them and then had his assistants explain what they said. If he approved of a paper, he would write “all correct” on it. The problem was that he didnt know how to spell, so what he really wrote was “ol korekt”. After a while, he shortened that term to “OK”.The second explanation is based on the place

9、 where President Van Buren was born, Kinderhook, New York. Van Burens friends organized a club to help him become President. They called the club the Old Kinderhook Club, and anyone who supported Van Buren was called “OK”.11. The author _.A. believes both of the storiesB. doesnt believe a word of th

10、e storiesC. is not sure whether the stories are trueD. is telling the stories just for fun12.

13、e the Old Kinderhook ClubD. by the members of the “Old Kinderhook Club”Passage 2Normally a student must attend a certain number of courses in order to graduate, and each course which he attends gives him a credit which he may count towards a degree. In many American universities the total work for a

14、 degree consists of thirty-six courses each lasting for one semester. A typical course consists of three classes per week for fifteen weeks; while attending a university a student will probably attend four or five courses during each semester. Normally a student would expect to take four years atten

15、ding two semesters each year. It is possible to spread the period of work for the degree over a longer period. It is also possible for a student to move between one university and another during his degree course, though this is not in fact done as a regular practice.For every course that he follows

16、 a student is given a grade, which is recorded, and the record is available for the student to show to prospective employers. All this imposes（施加）a constant（持續不斷旳）pressure and strain （承當）of work, but in spite of this some students still find time for great activity in student affairs. Elections to p

17、ositions in student organizations arouse much enthusiasm. The student organizations are effective in ensuring that the students observe university regulations. Any student who is thought to have broken the rules, for example, by cheating has to appear before a student court. With the enormous number

18、s of students, the operation of the system does involve a certain amount of activity. A student who has held one of these positions of authority is much respected and it will be of benefit to him later in his career. 16.

23、ey and live in a style that is too expensive for most people. If you are invited to a Yuppie dinner party, dont be surprised if you are offered freshly cooked insects as a first course. While the idea of eating fried insects fills most of us with horror, insect eating is becoming highly fashionable.

24、 For example, in the media industry, successful managers are often seen to eat fried or boiled insects from time to time while working at their desks. These safe-to-eat insects can be found and ordered on the Internet. And young people are logging on to foreign food websites and ordering samples of

25、prepared insects to serve at their dinner parties. Although the idea of eating insects is probably disgusting to most of us, few people would claim that pigs, chickens and some kinds of seafood we often eat are examples of great beauty. One day, insects would be marketed and sold as a food item in s

26、upermarkets. According to their fans of Yuppies, they are not only healthy, but also very tasty. But until our attitudes to food change, it seems that insects eaters will remain a select few.21. Why did the speaker say we might be surprised at the Yuppie dinner party? A. Because we might be offered

27、a dish of freshly cooked insects as a first course. B. Because nothing but freshly cooked insects are served. C. Because some Yuppies like to horrify guests with insects as food. D.

But most mistakes are about people. “Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?” “When I got that great job, did J

31、erry really feel good about it as a friend?” Or “Did he envy my luck?” When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, its too late.Why do we go wrong about our friends or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we dont really listen,

32、 we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, “youre a lucky dog.” Is he really on your side? If he says, “Youre a lucky guy” or “Youre a lucky gal”, thats being friendly. But “lucky dog”? Theres a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesnt see it himself. But bringing in the “d

33、og” bit puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesnt think you deserve your luck.How can you tell the real meaning behind someones words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? His posture (體態)? The look in his eyes? Stop and think

34、. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.26.

36、me as “Youre a lucky guy” or “Youre a lucky gal”C. sometimes the words used by a speaker give a clue to the feeling behind the wordsD. the word “dog” shouldnt be used to apply to people28. This passage tries to tell you how to _.A. avoid mistakes about money and friendsB. bring the “dog” bit into ou
