We dont know if either story is true, but they are both interesting.The first explanation is based on the fact that P

8、resident Jackson had very little education. In fact, he had difficulty reading and writing. When important papers came to Jackson, he tried to read 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 kn

9、ow how to spell, so what he really wrote was “ol korekt”.

In many American universities the total work for a degree consists of thirty-six courses each lasting for one semester. A typical course consists of three classes per week for fifteen weeks; while atten

15、ding a university a student will probably attend four or five courses during each semester. Normally a student would expect to take four years attending 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

16、 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 a student is given a grade, which is recorded, and the record is available for the student to show to prospective employers.

17、tant（持續(xù)不斷的）pressure and strain （負擔）of work, but in spite of this some students still find time for great activity in student affairs.

18、ations. Any student who is thought to have broken the rules, for example, by cheating has to appear before a student court.

If you are invited to a Yuppie dinner party, dont be surprised if you are offered freshly

24、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. 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. T

25、hese 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 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

26、 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 supermarkets. 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 i

27、nsects eaters will remain a select few.21. Why did the speaker say we might be surprised at the Yuppie dinner party? A.

31、s we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. “Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?” “When I got that great job, did Jerry 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,

32、 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, 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 “Yo

33、ure a lucky gal”, thats being friendly. But “l(fā)ucky dog”? Theres a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesnt see it himself. But bringing in the “dog” 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 wo

34、rds? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? His posture (體態(tài))? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.26. From the questions in the first paragraph

35、we can learn that the speaker _.A. feels happy, thinking of how nice his friends were to himB. feels he may not have “read” his friends true feelings correctlyC. thinks it was a mistake to have broken up with his girl friend, HelenD. is sorry that his friends let him down27.
