My 17-year-old daughter went off to college and having her away from home brought back memories of watching Peter Pan when she was little. In the classic TV production, one scene in particular impressed me: when Mrs Darling puts her children into bed. As she turns off the last of the night lights, she takes one last look at the bedroom and says, “Dear night lights, protect my sleeping children.” As a mother, I know how much she loves her children.

It has been several weeks since we took our daughter to college and she seems to be adjusting (适应) well after a short period of homesickness. For us, though, it’s another story. Like most parents, I love checking in on my children at night. But now she’s gone, and I find nighttimes the hardest. I miss her most at night.

In my neighborhood, most of the parents whose kids are off to college are dealing with similar melancholy. My husband is filled with anxiety. One friend talked about getting this sick feeling in her stomach as she prepared for the college drop-off. We complained that many of us were too busy to truly enjoy being with our children while we had them.

For us moms, seeing Toy Story 3 only made the sadness worse as we watched the character Andy, who is the same age as our kids, say goodbye to his childhood as he prepares to leave for college. And it’s not just “first-time” parents like me. Two moms who have kids already well into college said the separation didn’t get any easier. “You feel like something has been taken away from inside you,” said one of them.

I imagine things will get easier with time, especially as I see my daughter adjust to college life. Meanwhile, as I keep my cell phone close to me in bed and text my daughter goodnight and sweet dreams every night, I like to think that messages serve as a night light that keeps her safe.

1.The writer was deeply impressed by the scene in Peter Pan because ___________.

A. she watched the scene with her daughter

B. the scene was very exciting and interesting

C. the scene taught her and her daughter a good lesson

D. the scene showed a mother’s deep love for her children

2.After he daughter went to college, the writer ___________.

A. didn’t get used to the change for a long time

B. often cried as she missed her daughter so much

C. realized she hadn’t done enough for the daughter

D. failed to have a good sleep every night

3.What is the underlined word “melancholy” in Paragraph 3 similar in meaning to?

A. Happiness.    B. Anger.

C. Sadness.    D. Excitement.

4.According to the last paragraph, why did the writer keep her cell phone close to her in bed?

A. To call her daughter any time

B. To wait for her daughter’s calls

C. To say good night to her daughter

D. To wait for her daughter’s messages

When I was ten years old I went to the USA to visit some family friends. I noticed something funny about the way everyone spoke English.

One moment! I remember very clearly was at the beginning of the holiday, when my friend asked me if I wanted to order “French fries”. I couldn’t imagine what they were. She was amazed that I had never tried them and she ordered a portion for us to share. When the waiter brought us some chips, I asked her where the French fries were. She pointed at the plate of chips! Later that week she said she was going to buy some “chips” from the supermarket. She came out with a packet of crisps（薯片）! How come?

During that holiday we were also offered “biscuits” with our lunch. This was a very strange idea to me, because in England biscuits are sweet. I later realized that “biscuits” in America are salty snacks. What we call “biscuits’, they call “cookies”.

I was also embarrassed when a stranger told me she liked my “pants”. I wondered how she could see them! My mum then told me that they call “pants” what we call “trousers”, the outer clothing that you wear on your legs instead of inside clothing!

I was disgusted when I saw an “eggplant” pizza on the menu in a restaurant. But I was puzzled how eggs can grow on plants. My dad ordered this pizza and it was covered in aubergines（茄子）. “They call aubergines ‘eggplant’ in America!” he told me.

I think part of the excitement of learning a language is learning about the differences that exist in how it is spoken in different places.

1.What is the text mainly about?

A. A visit to the United States.　　 B. Difficulties in speaking English.

C. Ways to speak English correctly.　　 D. Different English in different places.

2.How did the author feel when his friend bought crisps?

A. Excited.　　 B. Puzzled.

C. Embarrassed.　　 D. Disappointed.

3.What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 4?

A. Legs.　　 B. Jewels.

C. Trousers.　　 D. Underclothes.

My Uncle Dave posed an interesting question to my wife and me when he came to visit us the other day. He asked: “What do you think the world will be like in 50 or 100 years, in terms of technology and society and so on?”

He says he asks many of the people he meets this question to see what their thoughts are. His point is that no one really knows. I mean, in 1945, could people have even imagined surfing the net or sending e-mails as we do? No way. And the pace of technological innovation(创新) is incredible (难以置信的). We’re on a more different curve than we used to be.

One thing I’m looking forward to is real software agents. There is so much information out there, but I want something that can help me find what I really want. For instance, in about ten years, I think, there will be no longer recorded music, and there will be some big databases from which you can download music onto your hard drive or whatever. At that point, there will be so much music to choose from and you’ll be able to sample things before you buy them. But the question will be how I find what I’m looking for and how I do find the music that might interest me. Or more generally, how do I find information that I want without spending all the time myself surfing the net? How do I find people who are like-minded (具有相似目的), with whom I might really want to communicate? I want to find those people but it’s hard to do. In the future I think that one will be able to build a community of like-minded people who live all over the globe. It’s going to be very interesting, I think.

1.No one really knows what the future will be like because _____.

2.The function of the first paragraph is to _____.

3.The writer is looking forward to some real software agents so as to _____.

4.The best title of this passage should be _____.
