5、 ife. Espec i a I Iy if you say them at your own wedd i ng. Maki ng wedd i ng vows is I i ke s i gn i ng a contract. Now Americans don9 t real I y think marriage is a business deal. But marriage is serious business. It al I begins with engagement. Traditionally, a young man asks the father of his sw

6、eetheart for permission to marry her. If the father agrees, the man later proposes to her. Often he tries to surprise her by popping the question in a romantic way. Somet i mes the coup Ie just dec i des together that the time is right to get married. The man usually gives his fiancee a diamond ring

7、 as a symboI of their engagement. They may be engaged for weeks, months or even years. As the big day approaches, bridal showers and bachelor9 s parties provide many useful gifts. Today many coup Ies also receive counseIi ng during engagement. This prepares them for the chai lenges of married I ife.

8、 At last it s t i me for the wedd i ng. AI though most wedd i ngs follow I ong-he I d traditions, there s still room for American individuaIism. For example, the usual place for a wedding is in a church. But some peopIe get married outdoors in a seenic spot. A few even have the ceremony while sky-di

9、ving or riding on horseback! The coup Ie may invite hundreds of peopIe or just a few close friends. They choose their own style of colors, decorations and music during the ceremony. But some things rarely change. The bride usually wears a beautifuI, long white wedding dress. She traditional ly wears

10、 something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue. The groom wears a formal suit or tuxedo. Several close friends participate in the ceremony as attendants, including the best man and the maid of honor. As the ceremony begins, the groom and his attendants stand with the minister,

11、facing the audience. Music signals the entrance of the bride s attendants, f I I owed by the beaut i fuI bride. Nervously, the young coup I e repeats the i r vows. T rad i t i ona 11 y, they promise to I ove each other Mfor better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health. But so

12、met i mes the coup I e has composed the i r own vows. They g i ve each other a gold ring to symboI ize their marriage commitment. Final ly the minister announces the big moment: I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss your bride! At the wedding reception, the br ide and groom greet their gues

13、ts. Then they cut the wedding cake and feed each other a bite. Guests m i ng I e wh i Ie enjoy i ng cake, punch and other treats. Later the br i de throws her bouquet of flowers to a group of single girls. Tradition says that the one who catches the bouquet wi11 be the next to marry. During the rece

14、ption, p I ayf u I friends “decorate the couples car with tissue paper, tin cans and a Just Married sign. When the reception is over, the new I yweds run to thei r decorated car and speed off. Many coup I es take a honeymoon, a one-to-two-week vacation trip, to celebrate their new marr iage. AI most

15、 every cu I ture has r i tua I s to s i gna I a change in one s I ife. Marriage is one of the most basic I ife changes for peopIe of al I cultures. So it s no surprise to find many traditions about getting married.even in America. Yet each coup Ie fol lows the traditions in a way that is uniquely th

Questions 1 to 5 are based on an interview.When asked what a manager s role is, Mr. Pitt sounds .A. confidentB. hesitantC. resolute D. doubtful10. A writer1 s job is to tel I the truth, n said Hemingway in 1942. No other writer of our tim

18、e had so fiercely asserted, so pugnaciousIy defended or so cons i stent I y exemp I if ied the writer s obi i gat i on to speak truly His standard of truth-tel Iing remained, moreover, so high and so rigorous that he was ordinarily unwi11ing to admit secondary evidence, whether I iterary ev i dence

19、or ev i dence p i eked up from other sources than his own exper ience. w I only know what I have seen, “ was a statement which came often to his I ips and pen. What he had personal ly done, or what he knew unforgettably by having gone through one version of it, was what he was interested in telling

20、about. This is not to say that he refused to invent freely. But he always made it a sacrosanct point to invent in terms of what he actua11y knew from having been there. The primary intent of his writing, from first to last, was to seize and project for the reader what he often cal led nthe way it .

21、was. This is a characteristica11y simple phrase for a concept of extraordinary complexity, and Hemingway s conception of its meaning subtIy changed several times in the course of his career-a I ways in the direction of greater comp I ex i ty. At the core of the concept, however, one can invariably d

22、iscern the operation of three aesthetic instruments; the sense of place the sense of fact and the sense of scene. The first of these, obv i ous I y a strong pass ion with Hem i ngway i s the sense of p I ace. Unless you have geography, background, he once told George Antei I, You have nothing. You h

23、ave, that is to say, a dramatic vacuum. Few writers have been more place-conscious. Few have s carefully charted out she geographical ground work of their noveIs while managing to keep background so conspicuousIy unobtrusive. Few, accordingly, have been able to record more economically and graphical

24、ly the way it is when you walk through the streets of Paris in search of breakfast at corner caf 6 Or when, at around six o clock of a Spanish dawn, you watch the bulls running from the corrals at the Puerta Rochapea through the streets of PampIona towards the bu11r ing. When I woke it was the sound

25、 of the rocket exp Iod i ng that announced the release of the bulls from the corrals at the edge of town. Down below the narrow street was empty. Al I the balconies were crowded with people. Suddenly a crowd came down the street. They were al I running, packed close together. They passed along and u

26、p street toward the bu11r ing and behind them came more men running faster, and then some stragglers who ere real ly running. Behind them was a little bare space, and then the bul Is, gal I op i ng, tossing their heads up and down. It al I went out of sight around the corner. One man fell, rolled to

27、 the gutter, and lay quiet. But the bulls went right on and did not notice him. They were al I running together. w This landscape is as morning-fresh as a design in India ink on clean white paper. First is the bare white street, seem from above, quiet and empty. Then one sees the first packed clot o

28、f runners. Behind these are the thinner ranks of those who move faster because they are closer to bul Is. Then the almost comic stragglers, who are really running. Brilliantly behind these shines the IittIe bare space, a desperate margin for error. Then the clot of running bu11s-closing the design,

29、except of course for the man in the gutter making himself, I ike the designer s initials, as inconspicuous as possible.According to the author, Hemingway s primary purpose in tel I ing a story was .A. to construct a well-told story that the reader would thoroughly enjoy.B. To construct a story that

30、would reflect truths that were not particular to a specific historical periodC. To begin from reality but to allow his imagination to roam from ”the way it wasw to Mthe way it might have beenD. To report faithfully reality as Hemingway had experienced it.11.Cancun means “snakepit” in the local Mayan

31、 language, and it I ived up to its name as the host of an important World Trade Organization meeting that began last week. Rather than tack Ii ng the problem of their high agricultural tariffs and lavish farm subsidies, which victimize farmers in poorer nations, a number of rich nations derailed the

32、 talks. The fa i I ure by 146 trade de I egates to reach an agreement i n Mex ico is a ser i ous blow to the gIobaI economy. And contrary to the mindless cheering with wh i ch the breakdown was greeted by ant i g I oba I i zat i on protesters at Cancun, the world s poorest and most vulnerable nation

33、s wi11 suffer most. It is a bitter irony that the chief architects of this fai lure were nations I ike Japan, Korea and European Union members, themseIves ads for the prosperity afforded by increased gIobaI trade. The Cancun meeting came at the midpoint of the W. T. 0. f s ndevelopment round11, of t

34、rade Iiberalization talks, one that began two years ago with an eye toward extending the benefits of freer trade and markets to poorer countries. The principal demand of these developing nations, Ied at Cancun by Brazi I, has been an end to high tariffs and agricultural subsidies in the deveI oped w

35、orld, and r i ghtIy so. Poor nat i ons find it hard to compete against r ich nat ions farmers, who get more than $300 billion in government handouts each year. The talks appeared to break down suddenly on the issue of whether the W. T. 0. shouId extend its rulemaking jurisdiction into such new areas

36、 as foreign investment. But in truth, there was nothing abrupt about the Gancun meltdown. The Japanese and Europeans had devised this demand for an unwieldy and unnecessary expansion of the W. T. 0. 9 s mandate as a po i son pill-to def Iect any attempts to get them to turn their backs on thei r pow

37、erful farm lobbies. Their plan worked. The American role at Cancun was d i sappo i nt i ng Iy muted. The Bush administration had little interest in the proposal to expand the W. T. 0. , s authority, but the American farm lobby is split between those who want to profit from greater access to foreign

38、markets and less efficient sectors that demand continued coddIing from Washington. That is one reason the United States made the unfortunate decision to side with the more protectionist Europeans in Cancun, a position that left American trade representatives playing defense on subsidies rather than

39、taking a creative stance, a Iongs i de BraziI, on lowering trade barriers. This was an unfortunate subject on which to show some rare trans-Atlantic sol idar ity. The resulting - coa I i t i on of the unw i 11 i ngn I ent the ta I ks an unfortunate north-versus-south cast. Any hope that the Un i ted

40、 States would take the moral high ground at Cancun, and reclaim its historic leadership in pressing for freer trade, was further dashed by the disgraceful manner in which the American negotiators rebuffed the rightfuI demands of West African nations that the United States commit itself to a clear ph

41、asing out Of its harmful cotton subsidies. American business and labor groups, not to mention taxpayers, shouId be enraged that the administration seems more solicitous of protecting the most indefensibIe segment of United States protectionism rather than of protecting the nationaI interest by promo

42、ting economic growth through trade. For strugg I ing cotton farmers in sub-Saharan Africa, and for mi 11 ions of others in the deve loping world whose I i ves would benefit from the further lowering of trade barriers, the failure of Cancun amounts to a crushing message from the deveI oped world-one

43、of caI Ious indifference.The author mentions that Cancun means snakepit in the local Mayan Ianguage. Snakepit possibly means .A. a place or state of chaotic disorder and distressB. snake holeC. snake trapD. a place or situation of potential danger12. In its modern form the concept of I iterature die

44、 not emerge ear I ier than e i ghteenth century and was not fully deve I oped unt i I the n i neteenth century. Yet he conditions for its emergence had been developing since the Renaissance. The word itself came into Eng I i sh use in the fourteenth century, following French and Latin precedents; it

45、s root was Latin I itter, a letter of the alphabet. Litterature, in the common early spe11 ing, was then in effect a condition of reading: of being abIe to read and of having read. It was often close to the sense of modern I iteracy, which was not in the Ianguage untiI the late nineteenth century, i

46、ts introduction in part made necessary b the movement of Iiterature to a different sense. The normal adjective associated with Iiterature was I iterate. Literary appeared in the sense of reading abi I ity and exper ience in the seventeenth century, and did not acquire its spec i a Ii zed modern mean

47、ing untiI the eighteenth century. Literature as a new category was ten a spec i a I i zat i on of the area formerly categor i zed as rhetoric and grammar: a spec i a Ii zat i on to reading and, in the material context of the deveIopment of printing, to the printed word and espec i a 11y the book, It

48、 was eventua11y to become a more general category than poetry or the ear I ier poesy, which had been general terms for imaginative composition, but which in relation to the deveIopment of Iiterature became predominantly specialized, from the seventeenth century, to metrical compos it ion and espec i

49、al ly wr i tten and pr i nted metr i ca I compos it ion. But Iiterature was never primarily the act i ve compos i t i on- the making-which poetry had described. As reading rather than writing, it was a category of different kind. The characteristic use can be seen in Bacon w.learned in al I Iiterature and erudition, divine and humane-and as late as Johnson
