Breaking Up is Hard to Do
When Texans Russell Smith and John Anthony traveled to Vermont to join in a civil union in February 2002, they had all the romantic intentions of any couple exchanging “I do’s.” But like the 50 percent of Americans whose marriages end in divorce, Smith and Anthony later decided to call it quits. Because the two had shared business deals. Smith worried he might one day face financial obligations from his ex. So he filed fro divorce in a Texas court. Though a district judge initially agreed to grant one, Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott intervened. He feared granting a divorce would signal that the state recognized the union in the first place — a step Texas and other
states aren’t yet willing to take. “A court cannot grant a divorce where no marriage existed,” Abbott argued. The judge reversed the divorce and the couple was forced to hash things our on their own. “They were just wanting to legally terminate this relationship,” says Anthony’s lawyer, Tommy Gunn. “Obviously the divorce route did not work.”
If gay couples think it’s tough to get married, they may find it’s ever harder to spite up. Few want to think about it on the way to the altar, but “we’re not immune to relationship problems,” says David Buckel, an attorney who directs the marriage project at Lambda legal. Though all it takes is a romantic weekend to tie the knot under Canada’s just-passed same-sex marriage law or get linked by civil union in Vermont, both places requires at least one member of the couple to establish residency for a year before granting a divorce or official dissolution. Of the roughly 5,000 civil unions performed so far in Vermont, the only state that legally recognizes the same-sex commitments, 85 percent went to out-of-staters.
That has left other states grappling with what to do when civil unions sour — and whether standard divorce laws can apply. A West Virginia family-court judge agreed to use divorce laws to dissolve a civil union there last year. But Connecticut courts dismissed the divorce case filed by Glen Rosengarten, who decided to end his 15-year relationship shortly after he and his partner got a civil union in Vermont. Dying of AIDS, Rosengarten wanted to preserve his estate for children from an earlier marriage, says his lawyer Gary I. Cohen. “He had incredible anxiety about it — he really wanted closure in his life,” Cohen says. Rosengarten appealed to the state Supreme Court, but died before the case was heard. Medical bills ate up his estate, so inheritance became a moot point, too.
Without access to divorce, all the benefits gay couples get with a civil union — shared property, adoption rights, insurance — must be undone one by one. If they can’t dissolve the union, they may not be free to enter into a new union or marriage, either. “It shoves gay people into a no man’s land where they have to fight it out for themselves,” says Evan Wolfson, director of Freedom to Marry. “Because it’s not marriage, people don’t have one of the automatic protections that comes with marriage,” Gay couples can’t hope to erase the pain that comes with parting. But after last week, there’s at least a chance they may one day get a little more help when things fall apart.

Part Ⅱ Read the following passage and answer the Questions A 5-34 (1% for each,30%) and B 35-44 (2% for each,20%) A Tuition Reform for Higher Education Chinese institutions of higher learning have quickened their pace of reform in recent years. Changing enrollment practices and higher tuition fees constitute and important part of the reform. Schools which once admitted students almost exclusively according to state plans are becoming more accepting of students sent by work groups for further training and those who pay their own fees. Regular universities and colleges plan to enroll about 786 200 students this year, up 158 200 or 25 percent over last year's figure. Of these, 216 000, or 27.4 percent, will be sent by their work groups or will pay their own way. In the past, the state paid all tuition and school fees for university students, a matter of policy since New China was established in 1949. Although this practice guaranteed the supply of qualified personnel, it brought a heavy burden to the sate, hindering further development of higher education. Since higher education is non —compulsory education in China, to charge appropriate fees will help improve school facilities and expedite the development of education in this stage. As an added benefit, paying their own way will encourage students to study harder. The reform will take effect in two directions. State —financed students will begin

时文阅读1.低头一秒，家毁人亡！ 随着科技遍布全世界，智能手机成为了“通讯神器”。但是对于那些精力不集中的司机、骑行者和行人来说，手机在他们手里就是一把上膛的枪 Alexander Heit, a 22-year-old college student with good grades and a quick wit?[w?t]（智力，才智）, was driving in Greeley, in the US state of Colorado, when he decided to reply to a text message on his phone. "Sounds good my man, see ya soon, I'll tw" We don't know the rest. The message was interrupted by a crash. Heit died. While the young man was distracted, he drifted into oncoming traffic, according to the International Business Times. On my cycling trips around Beijing, I often think about the many tragic cases like Heit’s that I’ve read about in my home country over the years. I am astounded by the number of my fellow cyclists and also scooter riders who I see not only carrying on phone conversations but also only reading text on their phones. Their heads are down, eyes transfixed by a small luminous screen, oblivious to the world they’re rushing toward.Of course, the faster you’re going, the quicker a distraction can become a tragedy.。 Studies show that staring at a cellphone for 3 seconds while driving at 60 kilometers an hour is as dangerous as driving blind for 50 meters, according to Xie Caifeng, a fellow at the research office of Shunyi Court in Beijing, writing in a column published by China Daily last year.Xie wrote that official statistics showed that “the use of cellphones while driving was the top reason for traffic accidents leading to death in Zhengzhou, Henan province”. It is also illegal. According to the national traffic code, it is illegal to use hand-held phones while driving, and an offender can lose points on their license and receive a fine of up to 200 yuan ($29.75), Xie wrote.Penalties are one deterrent, but education and social pressure also are important. Two years ago, the Shanghai office of the media company Havas designed a campaign for the Global Road Safety Partnership using 350 smashed cell phones that had been in the hands of people who had died while texting in China, showing their last words.They were mounted on black slabs（板子）like gravestones(墓碑) as part of an installation for Road Safety Day in 2015, which was made into a film,?SMS Last Words. It showed heart-rending last exchanges like this one:： Driver: Don't worry, I'll be home quickly.
英语报刊阅读练习(四)
初二英语报刊阅读四 （1） Question : What is more astonishing than a 6000 ton whale on a flatbed truck being driven down the street ? Answer : A 6000 ton whale on a flatbed truck exploding and raining blubber (fat of whales ) all over the sidewalk . That’s what happened in Taiwan recently, when a dead sperm whale being shipped to the Halobios Research Centre for an autopsy (尸体解剖) developed an extremely bad case of gas and blew up before it reached its destination . The whale was found alive on a Taiwan beach last weekend, and died shortly after it was discovered. Since the 56-foot whale was the largest whale ever beached on Taiwan’s shores , scientists wanted to study it and perform an autopsy for educational purpose . Obviously, too much time passed between when the animal died and the time it was set to be moved to the autopsy location, because it had already started to go bad .When things rot , they give off gases as a by-product . In the whale’s case , the gases were trapped in its belly . The pressure inside the rotting creature grew so much that it popped like an over-filled balloon . Unfortunately , it was on a truck in the middle of the city of Taiwan at the time; cars and shops lining the street were covered with whale bits an d juices , much to their owners’ discouragement . According to news reports , traffic was tied up for hours while officials tried to clean up the streets . Newspaper editors worldwide were probably smiling to themselves , since they had a ready-made headline; several reports about the inciden t were titled “There She Blows!” after the famous line from the book Moby Dick . 1．The purpose of the question at the beginning of this news report is to ______. A．explain the reason B．sell newspapers C．attract readers D．give an immediate answer 2．The whal e’s explosion is the result of _________. A．pressure from gases building up in the creature as it began to rot B．the long transport of the creature from the beach to the center C．the extremely busy traffic in the streets it passed by D．the quick process of rotting of the animal 3．What is the correct order of the incidents ? a. The whale was set to a flatbed truck . b. The whale was discovered . c. The whale exploded . d. The whale died . A．b; c; a ; d B．d; c; b; a C．b; d; a; c D．d; b; a; c 4．What do we know from the last paragraph ? A．Some newspaper editors were laughed at . B．Moby Dick is the name of a woman writer . C．All the newspapers reported the story under the same title . D．The title “There She Blows!” is taken from the book Moby Dick . （2）

巧用英语报刊提高阅读能力
巧用英语报刊提高阅读能力 【摘要】《英语课程标准》明确指出：“英语课程要求合理利用和积极开发课程资源，给学生提供贴近实际，贴近生活，贴近时代的内容健康和丰富的课程资源。”英语报刊阅读作为一种新型的英语教学方式引入课堂，必将丰富教学资源，拓宽学习和运用英语的渠道，并在学生的学习真实和生活真实之间架起一座桥梁，以实现英语教学的最优化。新课标下的高中英语学习材料的内容多与社会生活息息相关，突出时代性、实用性、多样性，反映了当代社会方方面面的新观点、新发现、新事物，题材多样，涉及面广，不仅仅是死记硬背就能解决的，要求高中生要具备相当的文化知识积淀，具有一定的人文素养。只有大量地输入语言材料和信息，然后把积累的语言知识进行积极的内化，才能达到语言学习的目的. 【关键词】报刊阅读；文章筛选；阅读技巧 【中图分类号】G633.41 【文献标识码】A 【文章编号】2095-3089（2013）22-0-01 一、报刊阅读在英语教学中的重要性和必要性 在高中阶段，阅读教学被放在相对突出的位置。大纲规定：“全日制高级中学英语教学的目的，是在义务教育初中英语教学的基础上，巩固、扩大学生的基础知识，发展听、

In other words, some standards of etiquette vary significantly while other standards apply almost anywhere. Learning the proper etiquette in a particular type of restaurant in a particular area may sometimes require instruction, but more commonly it simply requires sensitivity and experience. For example, while it is acceptable to read a magazine in a coffee shop, it is inappropriate to do the same in a more luxurious setting. And if you are eating in a very rustic setting it may be fine to tuck your napkin into your shirt, but if you are in a sophisticated urban restaurant this behavior would demonstrate-alack of sophistication. It is safe to say, however, that in virtually every restaurant it is unacceptable to indiscriminately throw your food on the floor. The conclusion we can most likely draw from the above is that while the types and locations of restaurants determine etiquette appropriate to them, some rules apply to all restaurants. 1. What Is the main purpose of the passage? a. To point out the differences between rules of etiquette in different countries. b. To teach the reader how to tuck a napkin in his/her shirt. c. To help people from rustic areas learn. d. To explain that standards of etiquette are both variable and universal. 2. According to the passage, which of the following is a universal rule of etiquette? . a. Tucking a napkin in your shirt. b. Not throwing food on the floor. c. Reading a magazine at a coffee shop. d. Eating in rustic settings. 3. What does the word “it” in line 8 refer to? a. Proper etiquette.

Changing enrollment practices and higher tuition fees constitute and important part of the reform. Schools which once admitted students almost exclusively according to state plans are becoming more accepting of students sent by work groups for further training and those who pay their own fees. Regular universities and colleges plan to enroll about 786 200 students this year, up 158 200 or 25 percent over last year's figure. Of these, 216 000, or 27.4 percent, will be sent by their work groups or will pay their own way. In the past, the state paid all tuition and school fees for university students, a matter of policy since New China was established in 1949. Although this practice guaranteed the supply of qualified personnel, it brought a heavy burden to the sate, hindering further development of higher education. Since higher education is non—compulsory education in China, to charge appropriate fees will help improve school facilities and expedite the development of education in this stage. As an added benefit, paying their own way will encourage students to study harder.
