一、阅读理解(50分)
五篇阅读,每篇文章有五个选择题,每个选择题都是四个选项,以前会有像GRE阅读里出现的一小题有ABCDEF选项的那样的题,今年没有,但我一直到现在都在思考今年考试里的阅读选择题到底是不是单选题,因为我找遍了试卷都没有找到“choose the best ONE”,如果不全是单选题那真是太可怕了!

文章三:德国人对犹太人的歧视(这篇文章特别特别长,看得稀里糊涂的)
文章四:facial expression and emotion

IF I can stop one heart from breaking
——by Emily Dickinson

I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.
