Margaret, married with two small children, has been working for the last seven years as a night cleaner, cleaning offices in a big building.

She trained as a nurse, but had to give it up when her elder child became seriously ill. “I would have liked to go back to it , but the shifts(工作班次)are all wrong for me, as I have to be home to get the children up and off to school.”

So she works as a cleaner instead, from 9 p.m. till 6 a.m. five nights a week for just ￡ 90, before tax and insurance. “It’s better than it was last year, but I still think that people who work ‘unsocial hours’ should get a bit extra.”

The hours she’s chosen to work mean that she sees plenty of the children, but very little of her husband. However, she doesn’t think that puts any pressure on their relationship.

Her work isn’t physically very hard, but it’s not exactly pleasant, either. “I do get angry with people who leave their offices like a place for raising pigs. If they realized people like me have to do it, perhaps they’d be a bit more careful.”

The fact that she’s working all night doesn’t worry Margaret at all. Unlike some dark buildings at night, the building where she works is fully lit, and the women work in groups of three. “Since I’ve got to be here, I try to enjoy myself-and I usually do, because of the other girls. We all have a good laugh, so the time never drags.”

Another challenge Margaret has to face is the reaction of other people when she tells them what she does for a living. “They think you’re a cleaner because you don’t know how to read and write, ” said Margaret. “I used to think what my parents would say if they knew what I’d been doing , but I don’t think that way any more. I don’t dislike the work though I can’t say I’m mad about it.”

78.Margaret quit her job as a nurse because ______   .

A.she wanted to earn more money to support her family

B.she had suffered a lot of mental pressure

C.she needed the right time to look after her children

D.she felt tired of taking care of patients

79.Margaret gets angry with people who work in the office because ______    .

A.they never clean their offices

B.they look down upon cleaners

C.they never do their work carefully

D.they always make a mess in their offices

80.When at work, Margaret feels   ______    .

A.light-hearted because of her fellow workers

B.happy because the building is fully lit

C.tired because of the heavy workload

D.bored because time passes slowly

81.The underlined part in the last paragraph implies that Margaret’s parents would _____  .

A.help care for her children

B.regret what they had said

C.show sympathy for her

D.feel disappointed in her

F

Jim suffered heart problems. In conversation he expressed little joy and it seemed that his life was drawing to a close.

When his heart problems led to operation, Jim went through it successfully, and a full recovery was expected. Within days, however, his heart was not beating properly. Jim was rushed back to operation, but nothing was found to explain the cause of his illness. He died on the operating table on the day before his 48th birthday.

Dr. Bruce Smoller, a psychologist (心理学家), had had many conversations with him, and the more he learned, the stranger he realized Jim’s case was. When Jim was a child, his father, a teacher, suffered a heart attack and stayed home to recover. One morning Jim asked his father to look over his homework, promising to come home from school at noon to pick it up. His father agreed, but when Jim returned his father had died. Jim’s father was 48.

“I think all his life Jim believed he killed his father，” Dr. Smoller says. “He felt that if he had not asked him to look at his homework，his father would have lived. Jim had been troubled by the idea. The operation was the trial(判决) he had expected for forty years.” Smoller believes that Jim willed himself not to live to the age of 48.

Jim’s case shows the powerful role that attitude (态度) plays in physical health, and that childhood experiences produce far-reaching effect on the health of grown-ups. Although most cases are less direct than Jim’s, studies show that childhood events, besides genes, may well cause such midlife diseases as cancer, heart disease and mental illness.

82. Jim was sent back to operation because__________.

A. his heart didn’t work well

B. he expected a full recovery

C. his life was drawing to a close

D. the first one wasn’t well performed

83  What made Dr. Smoller feel strange about Jim’s case?

A. Jim died at a young age.

B. Jim died on the operating table.

C. Both Jim and his father died of the same disease.

D. Jim’s death is closely connected with his father’s.

84 . From Smoller’s words, we can infer that__________.

A. Jim’s father cared little about his study

B. Smoller agreed that Jim did kill his father

C. Jim thought he would be punished some day

D. Smoller believed Jim wouldn’t live to the age of 48

85 . Which of the following could have strong effect on one’s physical health according to the text?

a. One’s genes.

b. One’s life in childhood.

c. One’s physical education.

d. The date of one’s birthday.

e. The opinions one has about something.

A. a, b, d          B. a, b, e            C. a, c, e          D b, c, d

书面表达：

I prefer my English classes to be taught in English only. As we all know, a good learning environment is vital if we want to study English well. Classes taught in English provide students with such an environment. When English is the only language used in the classroom, students will have more opportunities to practise listening and speaking. Therefore, they will be able to learn more quickly.

However, there are also some problems with this teaching method. As we haven’t mastered enough English words, sometimes we may find it difficult to follow the teacher. Slow learner may even lose interest in English.

Practice makes perfect. To learn English well requires a lot of practice. Therefore, I like my English classes to be taught completely in English.

⑵

I prefer my English classes to be taught in both English and Chinese. In my opinion, learning English is a step-by-step process. As middle school students, we only have a small vocabulary. If the teacher can use some Chinese in an English class, we will understand the lesson better.

Of course, an English class taught in two languages has its shortcomings. Such a class cannot create a good atmosphere for English learning. Some students will speak Chinese all the time and cannot learn English well.

If you want to learn a lesson well, you have to understand it first. To help students understand the lesson better, the teacher should use Chinese from time to time. Therefore, I like my teacher to use both English and Chinese in teaching.
