But as months went by, a change came into our friendship. Jerry almost stopped coming by the house, and every time I went to his house or telephoned, he put me off with some excuses such as "I'm studying now" or "I've got some jobs to do for Mum". When we passed on the street, he would still give me a warm smile and friendly wave with a "Hi, kid", but he would hardly ever stop to talk. Finally I realized that he was no longer interested in me and that his，taste had changed. I noticed him with a girl once in a while and several times saw him going out in his family's car on a Friday or Saturday night. I simply couldn't understand what was so great about girls and parties.
But I was hurt when he finally made me know that our friendship was at an end. Of course he didn't really mean to hurt me, but it was a long time before I realized that it was an age problem that caused the break. There were a world of differences between the ideas and interests of a 17-year-old and a 12-year-old. Now that I'm over sixteen myself, I realized this, and the hurt I got then has become happy memories of the good times we were once together. I wonder if millions of other boys and girls have had a similar experience.

Jerry Springer could easily be considered the king of "trash talk (废话)". The topics on his show are as shocking as shocking can be. For example, the show takes the ever-common talk show themes of love, sex, cheating, guilt, hate, conflict and morality to a different level. Clearly, the Jerry Springer show is a display and exploitation of society's moral catastrophes (灾难), yet people are willing to eat up the intriguing predicaments (困境) of other people's lives.
Like Jerry Springer, Oprah Winfrey takes TV talk show to its extreme, but Oprah goes in the opposite direction. The show focuses on the improvement of society and an individual's quality of life. Topics range from teaching your children responsibility, managing your work week, to getting to know your neighbors.
Compared to Oprah, the Jerry Springer show looks like poisonous waste being dumped on society. Jerry ends every show with a "final word." He makes a small speech that sums up the entire moral of the show. Hopefully, this is the part where most people will learn something very valuable.
Clean as it is, the Oprah show is not for everyone. The show' s main target audience are middle-class Americans. Most of these people have the time, money, and stability to deal with life's tougher problems. Jerry Springer, on the other hand, has more of an association with the young adults of society. These are 18-to 21-year-olds whose main troubles in life involve love, relationship, sex, money and peers. They are the ones who see some value and lessons to be learned underneath the show's exploitation.
While the two shows are as different as night and day, both have ruled the talk show circuit for many years now. Each one caters to a different audience while both have a strong following from large groups of fans. Ironically, both could also be considered pioneers in the talk show world.
Compared with other TV talk shows, both the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey are _________.
A．more family-oriented
B．unusually popular
C．more profound
D．relatively formal

On Dec. 11, 2001, as part of the effort to increase homeland security, federal and local authorities in 14 states staged "Operation Safe Travel "--raids on airports to arrest employees with false identification(身份证明). In Salt Lake City there were 69 arrests. But those captured were anything but terrorists, most of them illegal immigrants from Central or South America. Authorities said the undocumented workers' illegal status made them open to blackmail(讹诈)by terrorists.
Many immigrants in Salt Lake City were angered by the arrests and said they felt as if they were being treated like disposable goods.
Mayor Anderson said those feelings were justified to a certain extent. "We're saying we want you to work in these places, we're going to look the other way in terms of what our laws are and then when it's convenient for us, or when we can try to make a point in terms of national security, especially after Sept. 11, then you're disposable. There are whole families being uprooted for all of the wrong reasons," Anderson said.
If Sept, 11 had never happened, the airport workers would not have been arrested and could have gone on quietly living in America, probably indefinitely. Ana Castro, a manager at a Ben & Jerry's ice cream shop at the airport, had been working 10 years with the same false Social Security card when she was arrested in the December airport raid. Now she and her family are living under the threat of deportation(驱逐出境). Castro's case is currently waiting to be settled. While she awaits the outcome, the government has granted her permission to work here and she has returned to her job at Ben & Jerry's.
According to the author, the United States claims to be a nation ______.
A．composed of people having different values
B．encouraging individual pursuits
C．sharing common interests
D．founded on shared ideals

M: He succeeds because he has the definite life goals.
W: What is goal by your understanding then？
M: (20) A goal is something that a person hopes to get in the future. Everyone should have a goal or goals in life if he or she hopes to lead a successful life.
W: Ok. Tell me in detail about what the book says.
M: Well, there are three kinds of goals, they are, lifetime goals, intermediate goals and short-term goals.
W: What is a lifetime goal then？
M: A lifetime goal means the goal that a person hopes to get in all his life. (21) It should be clear, reasonable and written out, such as the goal to become a lawyer as you are longing for, and so on.
W: I see. But what kind of goal will be the intermediate goal？
M: It relates to the outcomes during the next few years.
W: Then the third one...
M: It is a short-term goal, which involves outcomes expected during the next twelve months. (22) This goal helps with achievement of intermediate goals,

听力原文：M: Excuse me, Ms. Sherwin, could I speak to you for a few minutes？
W: Well, please sit down.
M: Thank you. Uh..., it's about my wife.
W: Yes, go on.
M: She's ill and has to go to hospital tomorrow. But we have a young baby, you know.
W: Yes, Jerry. Is it anything serious？
M: The doctors say it's just a minor operation. But it has to be done as soon as possible. And...the problem is my daughter.
W: In what way, Jerry？
M: Well, my wife will be in hospital for several days, so there's nobody to look after my daughter. That's why I'd like to have a few days off. From tomorrow.
W: I see. You need a few days off to look after your daughter while your wife is in hospital.
M: Yes, will that be all right？
W: I'm sure it will, Jerry. All I want to do now is to make sure that there's someone to cover for you while you're away. Uh...how long did you say you'll need？
M: Just a few days. My wife should be out of hospital by next Thursday, so I can be back on Friday.
W: Well, perhaps you'd better stay at home on Friday, as well. Just to give your wife a few extra days to rest after the operation.
M: That's very kind of you, Ms. Sherwin.
W: Don't mention it.

Recent surveys by dozens of organizations also suggest that up to 40% of the American public is functionally illiter- ate. That is, our citizens' reading and writing abilities, if they have any, are impaired so seriously as to render them, in that handy jargon of our times, dysfunctional. The reading is taught - TV teaches people not to read. It renders them incapable of engaging in an activity that now is perceived as strenuous, because it is not a passive hypnotized state.
Passive as it is, television has invaded our culture so completely that the medium's effects are evident in every quarter, even the literary world. It shows up in supermarket paperbacks, from Stephen King (who has a certain clever skill) to pulp fiction. These really are forms of verbal TV-literature that is so superficial that those who read it can revel in the same sensations they experience when watching television:
Even more importantly, the growing influence of television, Keman says, has changed people's habits and values and affected their assumptions about the world. The sort of reflective, critical, and value laden thinking encouraged by books has been rendered obsolete. In this context, we would do well to recall the Cyclops—the race of giants that, according to Greek myth, predated man.
Quite literally, TV affects the way people think. In Four Arguments for the Elimination of Television, Jerry Mander quotes from the Emery Report, prepared by the Center for Continuing Education at the Australian National University, Canberra, that, when we watch television, "our usual processes of thinking and discernment are semi-functional at best. "The study also argues that, "while television appears to have the potential to provide useful information to viewers-and is celebrated for its educational function—the technology of television and the inherent nature of the viewing experience actually inhibit learning as we usually think of it. "
The first paragraph implies_____.
A．10 or 15 years ago people seldom wrote
B．the English grammar and rhetoric can be taught on TV
C．thousands of teachers are reluctant to admit their students' inability to write
D．TV ruins students' ability to write
"I had always wanted a master's degree, but it's hard to suspend a career and a family for it, especially when the closest school of public health is four hours away," says Jerry Parks, 45, assistant health director for Albemarle Regional Health Services. As it turns out, he didn't have to move to get his degree: After three years of coursework via teleconferencing and the Internet, Parks is finishing up a master's from the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill.
As more people turn to distance education, a debate has flared over whether it can be a good substitute for face-to-face instruction. Thomas Russell, author of a report titled "The No Significant Difference Phenomenon", argues that the two modes of instruction are equivalent as far as student learning is concerned.
But critics say that many of the studies cited in Russell's book are poorly designed, and they vehemently disagree with his point of view, "I don't think you can get any education over the Internet," says David Noble, a historian of technology at York University. "Education requires a relationship between people because it's a process of identity formation, encouragement, and inspiration. This only happens face to face."
What is the main reason for the workers to acquire further education？
A．They like to study.
B．They merely want to get the certificates.
C．They have to go on learning to keep their job.
D．They want to change their job.
