To son, Cecil,
Just a quick note preface before I start in earnest. When I wrote this, you were 8, still a little boy. In 2002, I
was called to active duty in the Marine Corps in the War on Terrorism. On the 11th of September 2001 when
America was attacked, I knew that I would eventually have to go and I was filled with a deep sense of sadness. That
night as you and Keiko were asleep, I looked at you little faces and couldn't help but fight the tears. I knew it would
be hard for you because I had a similar experience.
When I was a little boy aged 6, my Dad, your Grandpa Cawley, was sent to Vietnam during the War there. I
remember how much I missed him, too. But now unfortunately I have come to realize just how rough it must have
been for Grandpa to be away from his children for a year. Thinking about this, I wanted to put my thoughts and
feelings down for you and your sister. I am so sorry that I had to leave for such a long time. There is no place I
would rather be than with you and Keiko. You two are the lights of my life. I have known no greater joy than in the
few years since you two were born. I hope to have many more years with you. If this doesn't happen, then know
that I love you more than words can express. If for some reason I don't make it home, I will need you to take care of
your little sister and your Mum. You will be the Man of the Cawley family. Be good, my son, and God will watch
over you as he has me. I will be waiting impatiently for the time when we can all be together again.
All my love
Dad

More than half of rich Americans have not shown their full wealth to their children, a new survey showed last
Tuesday.
The survey, published by the Bank of America, studied the rich with $3 million or more in assets. It found that
“surprisingly few of those surveyed have well-developed plans to preserve and pass on their assets to their
children”.
The majority of the 457 people surveyed are self-made, first-generation rich. Fifty-two percent of parents have
chosen not to tell their children just how wealthy they are, and 15 percent have given away nothing about the
family wealth. One in three parents said they had never thought to do it.
They are worried that their children would become lazy, spend money freely, make bad decisions and even
become a target for gold diggers. Only 34 percent strongly agreed that their children would be able to handle any
inheritance（遗产）they plan to leave them.
“There is an expectation about the wealthy parents that they have a responsibility to pass down their fortune to
the next generation,” said Sallie Krawcheck, president of the Bank of America Global Wealth and Investment
Management. “Our research, however, uncovered changing views of what one generation owes to the next.”
The trend is led by the world's richest man Bill Gates, who promised in 2008 that he would leave his $58
billion fortune to the charity started by him and his wife, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and not to his
children.
“We want to give it back to society in the way that it will have the most positive impact,” he said.
Of his plans for his children Gates said: “I will give the kids some money but not a meaningful
percentage...they will need to wok but they will feel reasonably taken care of.”35. We can learn from the passage that ______.
A. rich parents may not know how to manage their inheritance
B. American children don't get to inherit their parents' wealth
C. rich parents don't necessarily equal rich kids, at least in the US
D. children don't expect themselves to be as rich as their parents
36. According to the survey, most rich Americans ______.
A. don't think that they owe their children anything
B. consider it best to give their money back to society
C. worry about the ability of their children to handle wealth
D. are strongly confident in their children s ability to handle wealth
37. The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 5 refers to ______.
A. rich parents B. the Bill Gates C. the first rich generation D. responsible children
D
Every year more people recognize that it is wrong to kill wildlife for “sport”. Progress in this direction is slow
because shooting is not a sport for watching, and only those few who take part realize the cruelty and destruction.
The number of gunners, however, grows rapidly. Children too young to develop proper judgments through
independent thought are led a long way away by their gunning parents. They are subjected to advertisements of gun
producers who describe shooting as good for their health and gun-carrying as a way of putting redder blood in the
veins. They are persuaded by gunner magazines with stories honoring the chase and the kill. In school, they view
motion pictures which are supposedly meant to teach them how to deal with arms safely but which are actually
designed to stimulate（刺激）a desire to own a gun.
Wildlife is disappearing because of shooting and because of the loss of wild land habitat. Habitat loss will
continue with our increasing population, but can we slow the loss of wildlife caused by shooting? They seem to
forgive shooting for sport because they know little or nothing about it. The only answer, then, is to bring the truth
about sport shooting to the great majority of people.
Now, it is time to realize that animals have the same night to life as we do and that there is nothing fair or right
about a person with a gun shooting the harmless and beautiful creatures. The gunner like to describe what they do
as character building, but we know that to wound an animal and watch it go through the agony of dying can make
nobody happy. If, as they would have you believe, gun-carrying and killing improve human character, then perhaps
we should encourage war.38. According to the text, most people do not seem to be against hunting because _______.
A. they have little knowledge of it B. it helps to build human character
C. it is too costly to stop killing wildlife D. they want to keep wildlife under control
39. The underlined word “agony” in the last paragraph probably means _______.
A. form B. condition C. pain D. sadness
40. According to the text, the films children watch at school actually _______.
A. teach them how to deal with guns safely B. praise hunting as character-building
C. describe hunting as an exercise D. encourage them to have guns of their own
41. It can be inferred from the text that the author seems to _______.
A. blame the majority of people B. worry about the existence of wildlife
C. be in favor of war D. be in support of character-building

The cultures of the east and the west are really different from each other. This is because the culture systems
are two separate systems on the whole.
The origin of the eastern cultures is mainly from two countries: China and India. Both of the two cultures are
started by rivers. In China, the mother river is the Yellow River while the Indian one is the Hindu River. These two
cultures were developed for several thousand years and formed their own styles. Then in Tang Dynasty of China,
the Chinese culture gradually went overseas to Japan, mixed into the Japanese society and shaped the Japanese
culture nowadays. Though a bit different from the Chinese one, it belongs to the same system.
,
When the two mother rivers gave birth to the eastern culture another famous culture was brought up on the
Mesopotamian Plain—the Mesopotamian Civilization. This civilization later on developed into the culture of the
Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. And these two are well-known as the base of the European culture. Like the
Chinese culture, the European one also crossed waters. When the colonists（殖民者）of England settled down in
America, their culture went with them over the Atlantic Ocean. So the American culture doesn't differ from the
European one a lot.
At the same time, the difference of the language system adds to the cultural differences. In the East, most
languages belong to the pictographic（象形的）language while the Western languages are mostly based on the
Latin system, for example, the one I'm using to write this paper.
Other factors（因素）like human race difference counts as well. But what's, more, due to the far distance and
the steep areas between the East and West, the two cultures seldom communicate until recent centuries. So theygrew up totally in their own ways with almost no interference from the other.
42. Are eastern culture and western culture the same system or different ones on the whole?

43. How did the Chinese culture and Indian culture start?
