21、I was waiting for a phone call from my agent. He had left a message the night before, telling me that my show was to be cancelled. I called him several times, but each time his secretary told me that he was in a meeting and that he would call me later. So I waited and waited, but there was still no call. Three hours passing by, I became more and more impatient. I was certain that my agent didn’t care about my work, and he didn’t care about me. I was overcome with that thought. I started to shout at the phone, “Let me wait, will you? Who do you think you are?”
At that time I didn’t realize my wife was looking on. Without showing her surprise, she rushed in, seized the phone, tore off the wires, and shouted at the phone, “Yeah! Who do you think you are? Bad telephone! Bad telephone!” And she swept it into the wastebasket.
I stood watching her, speechless. What on earth...?
She stepped to the doorway and shouted at the rest of the house, “Now hear this! All objects in this room-- if you do anything to upset my husband , out you go!”
Then she turned to me, kissed me, and said calmly, “Honey, you just have to learn how to take control.” With that, she left the room.
After watching a crazy woman rushing in and out, shouting at everything in sight, I noticed that something in my mood（情绪）had changed. I was laughing. How could I have trouble with that phone? Heranticshelped me realize I had been driven crazy by small things. Twenty minutes later my agent did call. I was able to listen to him and talk to him calmly.

22、The term “formal learning” refers to all learning which takes place in the classroom regardless of whether such learning is informed by conservative or progressive ideologies(思想意识). “Informal learning”, on the other hand, is used to refer to learning which takes place outside the classroom.
These definitions(定义) provide the basic difference between the two models of learning. Formal learning is separated from daily life and may actually promote ways of learning and thinking which often run counter to those obtained form practical daily life. A characteristic feature of formal learning is the centrality of activities which can prepare for the changes of adult life outside the classroom, but it cannot, by its nature, consist of these challenges.
In doing this, language plays an important role as a major channel for information exchange. The language of the classroom is more similar to the language used by middle-class families than that used by working-class families. Middle class children thus find it easier to gain the language of the classroom than their working-class classmates.
Informal learning, in contrast, occurs in the setting to which it relates, making learning immediately relevant (相关的). In this context, language does not occupy such an important role: the child's experience of learning is more direct, involving sight, touch, taste, and smell senses that are not used in the classroom. Whereas formal learning is transmitted by teachers selected to perform this role, informal learning is gained as a natural part of child's socialization. Adults or older children who are proficient (熟练的) in skill or activity provide-----sometimes unintentionally (无意义地)---target models of behavior in the course of everyday activity.
Informal learning, therefore, can take place at any time and place. The motivation of learner provides another important difference between the two models of learning. The formal learner is generally motivated by some kind of external goal such as parental approval, social status, and possible financial reward. The informal learner, however, tends to be motivated by successful completion of the task itself and the partial knowledge of adult status.
Given that learning systems develop as a response to the social and economic contexts in which they are firmly, it is understandable that modern, high urbanized (城市化) societies have concentrated almost specially on the establishment of formal education systems. What these societies have failed to recognize are the ways in which formal learning inhibits the child's multi-sensory acquisition of practical skills. The failure to provide a child with a direct education may in part account for many of the social problems which trouble our societies.
【1】Formal learning and informal learning are mainly told differences by_________.
A. the place where they take place
B. the kind of knowledge to be obtained
C. the people who learn
D. the language used in instruction
【2】The language used in classroom instruction explains________.
A. how learning can take place efficiently
B. why it is not easy for children of working-class families to get high scores
C. why informal learning is more important
D. why formal learning does not work with children of middle-class families
【3】In informal learning_________.
A. children usually follow the examples of adults to shape their own behavior
B. children's learning is more direct
C. children are highly motivated by the learning activity it self
D. all of the above
【4】The author's attitude towards the present state of formal learning is _______.
A. agreeable B. critical
C. suspecting D. indifferent（不关心的）
23、The promise was a long time keeping. And so was the dream.
In the early 1950s in a small Southern California town, a little girl left yet another load of books onto the tiny library’s counter. The girl was a reader. She’d make her weekly long journey to the yellow library with the brown decorations, the little one-room building where the children’s area actually was just a corner. Frequently, she walked out of that corner in search of mental food for the mind.
As the white-haired librarian hand-stamped the due dates in the ten-year-old’s choices, the little girl looked longingly at “The New Book” obviously displayed on the counter. She amazed again at the wonder of writing a book and having it honored like that, right there for the world to see.
That particular day, she spoke out her goal. “When I grow up,” she said, “I`m going to be a writer. I’m going to write books. ”
The librarian looked up from her stamping and smiled, not with the condescension (傲慢) so many children received, but with encouragement.
“When you do write a book,” she replied, “bring it into our library and we’ll put it on display, right here on the counter.”
The little girl promised she would. As she grew, so did her dream.
Years passed. Inside, the librarian welcomed her warmly. She introduced a reporter from the local newspaper, which she’d begged a chance to write for long ago.
Then she presented her books to the librarian, who placed them on the counter with a sign of explanation. Tears rolled down the woman’s cheeks.
Then she hugged the librarian and left, pausing for a picture outside, which proved that dreams can come true and promises can be kept, even if it takes thirty-eight years.
The ten-year-old girl and the writer she’d become posed by the library sign, right next to the reader board, which said:
WELCOME BACK, JANN MITCHELL.

24、Kenny Li is waiting patiently at a coach terminus (终点站) in Kowloon on a misty and cold Hong Kong morning.
He is planning to have lunch in the city of Zhuhai, which on a normal day would take him about four hours to reach by road. But today the journey will take just over 30 minutes, because today is not a normal day.
Kenny is one of scores of passengers — including the correspondent(记者)—who are queuing for a seat on one of the first crossborder coaches to travel over the newlyopened Hong KongZhuhaiMacao Bridge.
The 55 km bridge and 6.7 km undersea tunnel link Hong Kong’s Lantau island to Zhuhai on the southern coast of Guangdong Province and Macao.The mega structure is supported by three cablestayed bridges and designed to withstand typhoonforce winds.
It took more than eight years to build and, according to ambitious plans hatched(策划)in Beijing, will help form a hightech and economic region, namely Greater Bay Area, to rival New York, San Francisco and Tokyo bay areas.
But those lofty aims feel fairly irrelevant to the band of eager passengers who have assembled at the Kowloon coach terminus on Wednesday morning.This group wants something different from the HZMB, as it has become known. For just HK $120 for a single trip ticket, we can be part of history.
“I was the first person to get the ticket three days ago, ” says Li, as he waits patiently for the coach to arrive.
Other passengers are similarly excited.YW Cheung and his wife bought the tickets on Sunday as soon as he heard about the news about coach companies running the bridge service.
“I want to take the first coach to cross the bridge, ” he said. “We will meet friends in Zhuhai and eat out with them, and then we will go to Macao.”
【1】Why is today different for Kenny Li?
A．Because it is a misty and cold day in the morning.
B．Because he has to wait patiently at a coach terminus.
C．Because the time to Zhuhai will be saved more.
D．Because he can have lunch in Zhuhai by road.
【2】What is special for Hong KongZhuhaiMacao Bridge?
A．It can withstand typhoonforce winds.
B．A round trip ticket of the coach by it just costs HK $120.
C．It is irrelevant to passengers at the Kowloon coach terminus.
D．It is part of history，more brilliant than New York.
【3】Where does this text probably come from?
A．A fashion magazine.
B．A history book.
C．A tourist brochure.
D．A newspaper.
