One evening a grandson was talking to his grandfather about inventions. The grandson asked his grandfather about the computer age and other inventions.
The grandpa replied, “Well, let me think for a minute… I was born before television, penicillin, frozen foods, Xerox machines, contact lenses and Frisbees. There was no radar, credit cards, laser beams or ball-point pens.
Man had not invented air conditioners, dishwashers, clothes dryers, and the clothes were hung out to dry in the fresh air and man hadn’t yet walked on the moon.
Time-sharing meant a time the family spent together in the evenings and weekends — not purchasing condominiums. We had never heard of FM radios, tape decks, CDs, electric typewriters, or guys wearing earrings.”
If you saw anything with ‘Made in Japan’— or any other countries on it, it was junk. The term ‘making out’ referred to how you did on your school exam. Pizza Hut, McDonald’s, and instant coffee were unheard of.
In my day, ‘coke’ was a general cold drink(not the name of Coca Cola); ‘pot’ was something your mother cooked in(not a drug), and ‘rock music’ was your grandmother’s lullaby(搖籃曲)(not a kind of popular music).‘Aids’ were helpers in the high official’s office(not a deadly disease);‘chip’ meant a piece of wood(not a part of a computer);‘hardware’ was found in a hardware(五金器具)store, and ‘software’ wasn’t even a word. And we were the last generation to actually believe that a lady needed a husband to have a baby.
No wonder people call us old and think we are confused and say there is a generation gap, and how old do you think I am?”
This man would be only 59 years old.
45. Which of the following statements suits the writer’s opinion?
A. There are too many inventions in the world.

46. It can be inferred from the passage that _________.
A. the young generation looked down upon the old
B. the old contributed much to the inventions
C. new inventions usually benefit the young greatly
D. it is difficult for the old to accept all the changes
47. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The grandfather believed that it was reasonable that guys wore earrings.
B. In the grandfather’s opinion, new inventions brought great convenience to human beings.
C. The grandfather thought there was a better family relationship at his time.
D. the grandfather thought so many new inventions usually made old people feel stupid.
48. What’s the grandfather’s attitude towards so many changes?
A. Thankful. B. Unfriendly.
C. Puzzled. D. Curious.

For a while, my neighborhood was taken ever by an army of joggers(慢跑者). They were there all the time: early morning, noon, and evening. There were little old ladies in gray sweats, young couples in Adidas shoes, middle-aged men with red faces. “Come on!” My friend Alex encouraged me to join him as he jogged by my house every evening. “You’ll feel great.”
Well, I had nothing against feeling great and if Alex could jog every day, anyone could. So I took up jogging seriously and gave it a good two months of my life, and not a day more. Based on my experience, jogging is the most overvalued form of exercise around, and judging from the number of the people who left our neighborhood jogging army. I’m not alone in my opinion.
First of all, jogging is very hard on the body. Your legs and feet a real pounding(追擊)ruining down a road for two or three miles. I developed foot, leg, and back problems. Then I read about a nationally famous jogger who died of a heart attack while jogging, and I had something else to worry about. Jogging doesn’t kill hundreds of people, but if you have any physical weaknesses, jogging will surely bring them out, as they did with me.
Secondly, I got no enjoyment out of jogging. Putting one foot in front of the other for forty-five minutes isn’t my idea of fun. Jogging is also a lonely pastime. Some joggers say, “I love being out there with just my thoughts”Well, my thoughts began to bore me, and most of them were on how much my legs hurt.
And how could I enjoy something that brought me pain? And that wasn’t just the first week: it was practically every day for two months. I never got past the pain level, and pain isn’t fun. What a cruel way to do it! So many other exercises, including walking, lead to almost the same results painlessly, so why jog?
I don’t jog any more, and I don’t think I ever will. I’m walking two miles three times a week at a fast pace, and that feels good. I bicycle to work when the weather is good. I’m getting exercise, and I’m enjoying it at the same time. I could never say the same for jogging, and I’ve found a lot of better ways to stay in shape.
52. From the first paragraph, we learn that in the writer’s neighborhood ______.
A. jogging became very popular
B. people jogged only during the daytime
C. Alex organized an army of joggers
D. jogging provided a chance to get together
53. The underlined word “them”(Paragraph 3) most probably refers to _____.

D. physical weaknesses
54. What was the writer’s attitude towards jogging in the beginning?
A. He felt it was worth a try.
B. He was very fond of it.
C. He was strongly against it.
D. He thought it must be painful.
55. Why did the writer give up jogging two months later?
A. He disliked doing exercise outside.
B. He found it neither healthy nor interesting.
C. He was afraid of having a heart attack.
D. He was worried about being left alone.
56. From the writer’s experience, we can conclude that______.

B. he is the only person who hates jogging
C. nothing other than jogging can help people keep fit
D. jogging makes people feel greater than any other sport.

Sandra Cisneros was born in Chicago in 1954 to a Mexican American family. As the only girl in a family of seven children, she often felt like she had “seven fathers,” because her six brothers, as well as her father, tried to control her. Feeling shy and unimportant, she retreated(躲避) into books. Despite her love of reading, she did not do well in elementary school because she was too shy to participate.
In high school, with the encouragement of one particular teacher, Cisneros improved her grades and worked for the school literary magazine. Her father encouraged her to go to college because her thought it would be a good way for her to find a husband. Cisneros did attend college, but instead of searching for a husband, she found a teacher who helped her join the famous graduate writing program at the University of Iowa. At the university’s Writers’ Workshop, however, she felt lonely----a Mexican American from a poor neighborhood among students from wealthy families. The feeling of being so different helped Cisneros find her “Creative voice.”
“It was not until this moment when I considered myself truly different that my writing acquired a voice. I knew I was a Mexican woman, but I didn’t think it had anything to do with why I felt so much imbalance in my life, but it had everything to do with it! That’s when I decided I would write about something my classmates couldn’t write about.”
Cisneros published her first work, The House on Mango Street, when she was twenty-nine. The book tells about a young Mexican American girl growing up in a Spanish-speaking area in Chicago, much like the neighborhoods in which Cisneros lived as a child. The book won an award in 1985 and has been used in classes from high school through graduate school level. Since then, Cisneros has published several books of poetry, a children’s book, and a short-story collection.
36. Which of the following is TRUE about Cisneros in her childhood?
A. She had seven brothers.
B. She felt herself a nobody.
C. She was too shy to go to school.
D. She did not have any good teachers.
37. The graduate program gave Cisneros a chance to _____.
A. work for a school magazine
B. run away from her family
C. make a lot of friends
D. develop her writing style
38. According to Cisneros, what played the decisive role in her success?
A. Her early years in college.
B. Her training in the Workshop.
C. Her feeling of being different.
D. Her childhood experience.
39. What do we learn about The House on Mango Street?
A. It is quite popular among students.
B. It is the only book ever written by Cisneros.
C. It wasn’t success as it was written in Spanish.
D. It won an award when Cisneros was twenty-nine.
