To my Charlie on his wedding day—
I know you think these notes are silly. I have watched you wear a long face over the years when I give them to you. But understand that sometimes I want to tell you something and I want to get it just right. Putting it down on paper helps me do that. I wish I had been a better writer. I wish I had gone to college. If I had, I think I would have studied English and maybe my vocabulary would have improved. So many times I feel I am using the same words over and over. Like a woman wearing the same dress every day. So boring!
What I want to say to you, Charley, is you are marrying a wonderful girl. I think of Catherine in many ways like I think of Roberta. Like a daughter. She is sweet and patient. You should be the same with her, Charley.
Here is what you are going to find out about marriage: you have to work at it together. And you have to love three things. You have to love
1) Each other.
2) Your children (when you have some).
3) Your marriage.
What I mean by that last one is, there may be times that you fight, and sometimes you and Catherine won’t even like each other. But those are the times you have to love your marriage. It’s like a third party. Look at your wedding photos. Look at any memories you’ve made. And if you believe in those memories, they will pull you back together.
I’m very proud of you today, Charley. I am putting this in your tuxedo pocket because I know how you lose things.
I love you every day!
Mom
25. Why did the mother write the letter to Charlie?
A. To congratulate her son. B. To give him some advice.
C. To show her pity. D. To talk things through.
26. What kind of feeling is mainly revealed in the letter?
A. Regret. B. Pride. C. Care. D. Complaint.
27. What is implied about Charley in the letter?
A. He is forgetful. B. He is patient. C. He is boring. D. He is worried.
C
My daughter went to see The Wild One recently and she commented that Marlon Brando was wearing jeans so long ago. Of course he helped set the trend, so that got me thinking about the link between films and trends in fashion. Fashion and films have gone hand in hand for long. The Wild One is a good example: it appeared in 1954, starring Brando. Dressed in a black leather motorcycle jacket, leather cap and jeans, he created a look which is still considered “cool” today. Everyone from Madonna to middle-aged men is seen wearing the classic leather motorcycle jacket.
Another strong influence on fashion trends was Breakfast at Tiffany’s, starring Audrey Hepburn. She made famous the simple black dress that looks perfect at either a cocktail party or just standing around an expensive department store like Tiffany’s with a pastry and coffee in your hand, as Audrey Hepburn does in the film. She looks so elegant, wearing simple but beautiful dresses, big dark glasses and a string of pearls around her neck. Audrey Hepburn still influences women’s fashion with her “Tiffany’s look”.
In more modern times, the film star Uma Thurman created a major fashion trend when she appeared in the film Pulp Fiction, made in 1994. Her style was very simple. Her black trousers, crisp white shirt and hair style was copied by women in the world.
Influencing fashion trends can often be about timing. The movie Memoirs of a Geisha came just in time to start a trend in Japanese fashion. It started the Chinese actress Zhang Ziyi, who wore beautiful silk kimonos(和服), and it won an Oscar for Costume Design. Many travel companies picked up on the trend and ran “geisha trips” to Japan. The film has also led to a regained interest in kimonos. It is now quite common to see young Japanese women wearing kimonos not just on traditional occasions, but at various social events. The fashion is also beginning to spread to western countries.
28. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Films and fashion. B. Stars’ fashion. C. Influential films. D. Film cultures.
29. Who will people associate Madonna wearing the leather motorcycle jacket with?
A. Zhang Ziyi. B. Audrey Hepburn. C. Uma Thurman. D. Marlon Brando.
30. What is implied in the film Breakfast in Tiffany’s according to the passage?
A. One can be active by wearing black.
B. One can be elegant by wearing simply.
C. One can be famous by looking perfect.
D. One can be stylish by eating at Tiffany’s.
31. What does the film Memoirs of a Geisha lead to?
A. The popularity of the Chinese actress. B. The worldwide reading of Geisha stories.
C. The recovery of interest in kimonos. D. The “geisha trips” to social events.
D
I was born on the 17th of November 1828, in the village of Nam Ping, which is about four miles southwest of the Portuguese Colony (殖民地) of Macao, and is located on Pedro Island lying west of Macao, from which it is separated by a channel of half a mile wide.
As early as 1834, an English lady, Mrs. Gutzlaff, wife of a missionary to China, came to Macao. Supported by the Ladies’ Association in London for the promotion of female education in India and the East, she immediately took up the work of starting a girls’ school for Chinese girls, which was soon followed by the opening of a boys’ school.
Mrs. Gutzlaff’s comprador(買辦) happened to come from my village and was actually my father’s friend and neighbor. It was through him that my parents heard about Mrs. Gutzlaff’s school and it was doubtlessly through his influence and means that my father got me admitted into the school. It has always been a mystery to me why my parents should put me into a foreign school, instead of a traditional Confucian school, where my big brother was placed. Most certainly such a step would have been more suitable for Chinese public opinion, taste, and the wants of the country, than to allow me to attend an English school. Moreover, a Chinese belief is the only avenue in China that leads to political promotion, influence, power and wealth. I can only guess that as foreign communication with China was just beginning to grow, my parents hoped that it might be worthwhile to put one of their sons to learning English. In this way he might become an interpreter and have a more advantageous position to enter the business and diplomatic world. I am wondering if that influenced my parents to put me into Mrs. Gutzlaff’s School. As to what other sequences it has eventually brought about in my later life, they were entirely left in the hands of God.
32. How was the author admitted to Mrs. Gutzlaff’s school?
A. Through his father’s request. B. Through his father’s friend’s help.
C. Through his own efforts to exams. D. Through Mrs. Gutzlaff’s influence.
33. Why did the author’s parents put him into an English school?
A. It met with Chinese public opinion. B. An English school was more influential.
C. He could become a successful interpreter. D. Foreign trade with China was developing fast.
34. What did the author think of his parents’ decision to put him into an English school?
A. It was skeptical. B. It was wonderful. C. It was thoughtful. D. It was mysterious.
35. What does the underlined word “sequences” in the last sentence probably mean ?
A. Results. B. Order. C. Series. D. Progress.

W: Do you have trou ble sleeping at night? Then maybe this is for you. When you worry about getting to sleep and keep tossing and turning around, trying to find a comfortable position, you’re probably only making matters worse. What happens when you do that is that your heart rate actually increases, making it more difficult to relax.
You may also have some bad habits that contribute to the problem. Do you often rest during the day? Do you get very little exercise, or do you exercise a lot late in the day? Have you already got enough sleep, or do you sleep late on weekends? Any or all of these might be leading to your sleeplessness influencing your body’s natural clock. What should you do, then, on those sleepless nights? Don’t bother with sleeping pills. They can actually make it worse later. The best thing to do is to drink milk or eat cheese. These are all rich in a kind of acid and help produce a chemical in the brain that controls sleep. That will help you relax, and you’ll be on your way to getting a good night’s sleep. Until tomorrow’s broadcast, this has been another in the series Tips for Good Health.
