24、 Conflict is on the menu tonight at the care La Chope. This evening, as on every Thursday night, psychologist Maud Lehanne is leading two of France's favourite pastimes coffee drinking and the "talking cure". Here they are learning to get in touch with their true feelings. It isn't always easy. The customers-some thirty Parisians who pay just under $2 (plus drinks) per session-are quick to intellectualize (高谈阔论), slow to open up and connect. "You are forbidden to say 'one feels', or 'people think'," Lehanne told them. "Say 'I think', 'Think me'."
A care society where no intellectualizing is allowed? It couldn't seem more un-French. But Lehanne's psychology care is about more than knowing oneself: it's trying to help the city's troubled neighborhood cafes. Over the years, Parisian cafes have been influenced by the changes in the French lifestyle-longer working hours, a fast-food boom and a younger generation's desire to spend more time at home. Many new theme cafes appear to change the situation. Cafes focused around psychology, history, and engineering are catching on, filling tables well into the evening.
The city's "psychology cafes", which offer great comfort, are among the most popular places. Middle-aged housewives, retirees (退休人员), and the unemployed come to such cafes to talk about love, anger, and dreams with a psychologist. And they come to Lehanne's group just to learn to say what they feel. "There's a strong need in Paris for communication," says Maurice Frisch, a cafe La Chope regular who works as a religious instructor in a nearby church. "People have few real friends. And they need to open up." Lehanne says she'd like to see psychology cafes all over France. "If people had normal lives, these cafes wouldn't exist," she says. "If life weren't a battle, people wouldn't need a special place just to speak." But then, it wouldn't be France.
【1】What are people encouraged to do at the cafe La Chope?
A. Express their true feelings. B. Keep in touch with friends.
C. Show off their knowledge. D. Learn a new subject.
【2】What are the new theme cafes expected to do?
A. Create more jobs. B. Supply better drinks.
C. Serve the neighborhood. D. Save the cafe business.
【3】Why are psychology cafes becoming popular in Paris?
A. Because they bring people true friendship.
B. Because they offer a place for business links.
C. Because they help people realize their dreams.
D. Because they give people spiritual support.
25、Yesterday my grandpa told me about his early days. When he left school at the age of 20, he found a job in a post office. He worked hard in the post office. Soon he had more money than his friends because of his hard work. It seemed that his future would be bright.
When he was 25 years old, however, he began to dislike his job. He wanted a more exciting one, so he left the post office. Two months later he found a new job in a big company. Workers in this company usually traveled a lot. At first he really enjoyed the traveling. But after a year, he began to hate it. He had to move around and he was always in a car or on a train. The worst thing was that he couldn’t make any new friends. Even so, his boss was not satisfied with him. Two years later he left the company.
He was poor at that time so he sold his house. He had to do a part-time job in a book shop. He was surprised to find that he loved it. He made new friends every day and he enjoyed reading books. Three years later, he married the shop owner’s daughter. Soon they had their first child. In the next ten years, they had another two children and three more book shops. He became very rich indeed.
“Life is wonderful,” he told me. “The most important thing is that you should always try your best. Never give up!”

27、If you’ve been joining in chat room conversations, or trading e-mail with net pals (网友), you have become one of the millions who write in a special, short form of English.
Throughout the world, every night children and their elders are “talking” online—many of them are talking at the same time.
It’s fast: trying talking to six people once. It’s convenient: three or four words per exchange. It takes cleverness, concentration and quick fingers.
And it requires very simple language. There’s neither time nor space for explanations. Why waste valuable time telling six friends you have to leave for a moment to take care of your little brother when BRB (=be right back) will do?
Want to enter a conversation? Just type PMFJI (=pardon me for jumping in).
Interested in whom you’re talking to? Type A/S/L, the common request to know your pal’s age, sex and location. You may get 15/M/NY as a reply from your pal.
If something makes you laugh, say you’re OTF (=on the floor), or LOL (=laughing out loud), or join the two into ROTFL (=rolling on the floor laughing).
And when it’s time to get back to work or go to bed, you type GTG (=got to go) or TTYL (=talk to you later).
People want to write as fast as possible, and they want to get their ideas across as quickly as they can. Capital letters are left in the dust, except when expressing feeling, as it takes more time to hold down the “shift” key and use capitals. Punctuation is going too.
【1】When people are online, they talk by ______.
A.using body language
B.drawing some strange pictures
C.making phone calls
D.making use of a special short form of English
【2】The sentence “There’s neither time nor space for explanations” means that ______.
A.people should use words properly
B.people should know what time it is when they are talking
C.people online have to express themselves in a simple way
D.people should communicate in a funny way
【3】If you get 17/F/NY as an answer to your A/S/L, it means ______.
A.the people on the other end is 17 from New York and he is fine
B.you are talking to a girl who is 17 and lives in New York
C.you are talking to 17 girls who are from New York
D.the people you are talking to is a 17-foot tall New York girl
【4】Which of the following is a way to save online time?

D.People never use the “shift” key.
28、Drawing might help you think
When you're sitting in class, have you ever drawn pictures in the margins of your notebooks?
If so, your teacher might have told you 【1】(stop). Many people think of doodling(涂鸦) as a distraction(精神涣散) from more important things. But it might be just the opposite.
One study shows that doodling may help you remember things you hear. In 2009 researchers asked two groups of people to listen to a phone message. One group 【2】 (encourage) to doodle, but the other was not. Neither group knew that it would be asked to remember information from the message. But the group that doodled remembered 29 percent more.
Other people 【3】 (suggest)other uses for drawing. Jesse Prinz, a professor who studies doodling, says it can help you think creatively. Walking away from a problem to draw
might actually help you solve it. When you come back, you 【4】 (have)a fresh perspective and figure out an answer more quickly.
Two years ago, an author named Sunni Brown 【5】 (write)a book on doodling. She argues that doodling is a tool that can help people think. She admits that people see doodling
as doing nothing, but she wants to change that. In fact, she runs a business that helps companies
improve organization and planning through doodling. Brown 【6】 (believe)doodling is helpful because it incorporates(整合)many ways of learning. You lean in four ways: seeing, hearing, reading or writing, and through movement. The more ways you use, the better you learn.
And when you doodle while you 【7】 (listen )to a lecture, you use all four.
You might think that being good at 【8】 ( draw)is important for doodling. But if the point of doodling is to help you think, then it doesn't matter what the picture looks like. Even if you're not an artist, doodling can help you. So next time you need help focusing, pick up a pen and doodle away!
