His Own Way to Express Love
Yesterday was our three-year anniversary. We didn't do anything romantic; we just walked hand in hand and talked about our past and the future. This was pretty much what I had expected.
Andy is an unromantic guy: no sweet words or roses. Smart as he is, he is a little bit shy expressing his love. In contrast, I am an outspoken(直言不讳)girl who likes to show her feelings directly. So needless to say, I often feel that he is insensitive. I envy other girls who are surrounded by sweet words.
I was in this sullen mood until I heard a beautiful sentence one day: “If one does not love you the way you like, it does not mean that he does not love you.” This simple but sensible sentence made me think about our happy days and recall his deep concern for me.
One cold winter night, I got a high fever. He hurried to my dormitory and took me to the hospital. He was in such a hurry that he even forgot to wear socks. After arrival, he ran through the hospital handling all the formalities(手续). When I was put on a drip(点滴), he told me interesting stories to make me happy. Being held in his warm arms and listening to his tender(温柔的)voice, I had never felt so safe and comfortable. Gradually, I fell asleep. When I woke up 15 minutes later, he was still mumbling(咕哝地说)to me. He explained that if he had stopped talking I would have woken up. At that moment, I found love in his eyes.
Another time, I had a bad quarrel with my best friend. Although I knew it was my fault, I refused to admit it. I was very angry when he insisted I apologize to her. He said that it was difficult to admit a mistake, but this was what everyone should do. The next morning, I apologized to my friend and asked for her forgiveness.
My unromantic boyfriend cares about my health like my father, understands my like my mother and helps me like my elder brother.
Who is Andy？
Section B
Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice.
The state of Hawaii turns 50 this year. People there should be happy. But it's hard.
The economy is really bad. The housing market and construction industry are in deep slumps. Tourism has been hammered by the recession and swine flu. Unemployment is double what it was a year ago. To close a $688 million budget gap, the governor announced the most drastic holiday program in the country. She's closing state offices three days a month, for two years. Aloha Fri day, where people go to work in aloha shirts and muumuus, is going to be Holiday Friday, where they stay home in pajamas and look for jobs on the Internet.
And now, a communist dictator supposedly wants to blow up Hawaii. A Japanese newspaper, The Yomiuri Shimbun, reported this week that North Korea planned to launch a ballistic missile in Hawaii's direction around the Fourth of July.
You can take the threat for what it's worth. Hawaii isn't panicking. But then, while no one wants to think of extinction, the word is far less abstract in Hawaii than in other places. The islands have seen the disappearance of the Hawaiian kingdom, the killing of its people and the extinction of its language. Today, Hawaii is the world's hottest hot spot for threatened and endangered species. As the only island state, it's the only one that faces an existential threat from global warming and rising oceans.
For years, financially squeezed Hawaii residents have been leaving in droves, setting up colonies in places they can afford, like the moonscapes of the Las Vegas suburbs. They're exiles from paradise. Many people assume Hawaiian music is sweet and happy. Actually, much of it is solemn and melancholy. To hear Bla Pahinui sing his version of "Waimanalo Blues"—"the beaches they sell, to build their hotels," is to glimpse the depths of the Hawaiian sense of loss.
Visitors go to Hawaii to get happy and tan, and they carry home with them vast measures of good will, peacefulness and memories of joy. Maybe it's time to give some of that back to the suffering 50th state. How？ Maybe by telling your representatives in Congress to support the A kaka Bill, to give Native Hawaiians a measure of lost sovereignty, and right some old injustices.
There's a great July Fourth parade in Kailua, on Oahu's windward side. It's normally followed by fireworks, but they were canceled this year: too expensive. Since 1948, people have sat on the warm sands of Kailua Beach, oohing and aahing as fireworks burst over black water. Now they can't, in their state's golden anniversary year. Could anything be sadder than that？
What is the governor's purpose in closing state offices three days a month？
听力原文：W: Mike, I'm sorry, but I have to call to tell you...
M: What？
W: The truth is... Your job is not so well done.
M: Are you certain I didn't perform. well in the office？
W: Tom, you've received reprimands several for lateness and for using work time for private business. Besides, you use the company car to do things for yourself.
M: I know I've been late for times, for my home is a little far away from the company, and I have to travel over two hours to work everyday and sometimes there are traffic jams. I'm really sorry. For others, you may have my words: they won't happen again.
W: I'm afraid it's too late. Right now, your tardiness is the least of my problems.
M: What do you mean？
W: You have gone against file regulations so often, and the board of directors has decided.
M: Decided what？ Giving me my pink slip？
W: Exactly. I'm sorry it had to turn out this way. You're fired right away.

Randall Stross, a journalist at the New York Times, does a good job of analyzing this un bounded ambition in his book "Planet Google". One chapter is about the huge data centers that Google is building with a view to storing all that information, another about the sets of rules at the heart of its web search and advertising technology, another about its approach to information bound in books, its vision for geographical information and so forth. He is at his best when explaining how Google's mission casually but fatally smashes into long-existing institutions such as, say, copyright law or privacy norms.
And yet, it's puzzling that he mostly omits the most fascinating component of Google, its people. Google is what it is because of its two founders, Sergey Brin and Larry Page, who see themselves as kindly elites and embody the limitless optimism about science, technology and human nature that is native to Silicon Valley. The world is perfectible, and they are the ones who will do much of the perfecting, provided you let them.
Brin and Page set out to create a company and an entire culture in their image. From the start, they professed that they would innovate as much in managing—rewarding, feeding, motivating, entertaining and even transporting (via Wi-Fi-enabled free shuttle buses) their employees—as they do in internet technology. If Google is in danger of becoming a caricaturez (讽刺画), this is first apparent here--in the over-engineered day-care centers, the shiatsu massages and kombucha teas (康普茶). In reality Google’s are as prone to power struggle and office politics as anyone else.
None of that makes it into Mr. Stross' account, which at times reads like a diligent summary of news articles. At those moments, "Planet Google" takes a risk similar to trying to board a speeding train: the Google story changes so fast that no book can stay up to date for long. Even so, a sober description of this moment in Google's quest is welcome. Especially since Google fully expects, as its chief executive, Eric Schmidt, says at the end of the book, to take 300 years completing it.
By describing Google as a "Big Brother", people think that Google ______.
