You must have been troubled by when to say "I love you" because it is one of the greatest puzzles in our life.
  What if you say it first and your partner doesn’ t love you back? or if they do say. it but you don’t feel they mean it? Being the first to declare your love can be nerver racking(紧张）and risky and can leave you feeling as vulnerable as a turtle with no shell. But is the person who says it first really in a position of weakness? Doesn’ t it pay to hold back, play it cool and wait until the other half has shown their hand fast?
  A really good relationship should be about being fair and being equal," says psychologist Sidney Crown. "But love is seldom equal. " All. relationships go through power struggles but, he says, if a love imbalance continues for years, the rot will set in. "That feeling of ’ I’ ve always loved you more’ may be subverted(颠覆，破坏) for a time, but it never goes away completely and it often emerges in squabbling(大声争吵). " In love, at least, the silent, withholding type is not always the most powerful. "The strongest one in a relationship is often the person who feels confident enough to talk about their feelings," says educational psychol
ogist Ingrid Collins. Psychosexual therapist Paula Hall agrees. "The one with the upper hand is often the person who takes the initiative. In fact, the person who says ’ I love you’ first may also be the one who says ’ I’ m bored with you’ first. " Hall believes that much depends on how "I love you" is said and the motivation of the person saying it. "Is it said when they’ re drunk? Is it said. before their partner files off on holiday, and what it really means is ’ Please don’ t be unfaithful to me’ ? By saying ’ I love you’, they really saying’ Do you love me?’ If so, wouldn’t it just be more honest to say mat.Collins agrees that intention is everything. "It’s not what is said, but how it’ s said. What it comes down to is the sincerity of the speaker.”

  Text 2 参考译文
  你一定曾经为何时说“我爱你”而烦恼过，因为这是我们生活中的一大难题。
  如果你先说“我爱你”而对方却不回应，或者对方也这么说但你觉得他或她并非当真，那该怎么办?如你先说爱一个人，会让人紧张，而且也很冒险，它会让你觉得像没了硬壳的海龟那样容易受到伤害。但先说出口的人真的是处于劣势吗?隐而不宣，冷静地等待，让对方采取主动会更好吗?
  “真正良好的两性关系应该是合理平等的”，心理学家悉德尼•克朗说，“但爱情很少是平等的。”所有的两性关系都会有权力的斗争，但是，他说，如果爱情失去平衡，那么数年之后就会开始出现问题。“‘我对你的爱更多’的情况暂时不再继续，但这种感觉却不会消失，且常常会在争吵中出现。”至少在爱情上，沉默含蓄的那种类型并不总是最强有力的。“两性关系中
最强大的一方常常是感觉自信能说出自己的感受的人。”教育心理学家因格瑞•柯林斯说。性心理学家波拉•霍尔赞同说，“占上风的常常是采取主动的人。实际上，先说‘我爱你’的人往往也是先说‘我讨厌你’的人。”霍尔认为，很大程度上取决于说“我爱你”的方式和说话人的动机。“他们是在喝醉时说的吗?是在对方乘飞机渡假前说的吗?而其真正的含义是‘请一定要对我忠诚’?是不是表面上说：‘我爱你’，而真正想说的却是‘你爱我吗?’如果这样，直截了当地说不是更诚实吗?”考林也认为你的动机决定一切。“重要的不在于说话内容而在于说话的方式。归根到底是说话人的真诚。”

  52．D【解析】“You must have been troubled by when to say ‘I love you’ because it is one　of the greatest puzzles in our life．”也就是说人们为何时说“我爱你”而烦恼。

  54．C【解析】此题是词义解析，意思是“占了上风”。
  55．A【解析】从第三段末考林的话语中可以分析出来是你的动机决定一切。“重要的不在于说话内容而在于说话的方式。归根到底是说话人的真诚。”

Going shopping seems easy but actually it takes a lot of learning, especially in American. In the fact, many Americans who are not so well-off often shop at “sales” or at special stores that sell things at low prices, which you may find interesting. In American, the important rule of dressing is that one should change his\her clothes every day. For example, in an American college, neither professors nor students are seen in the same clothes two days in a row. So you may find it necessary to buy more clothes than China. While you are shopping in the States, you will discover that prices range considerablely from time to time. The purchase of used, second-hand clothing, furniture, or other household articles may be an excellent way of saving money. Most second-hand clothes are often pretty good quality. If you are going to settle down in the states and want some furniture, you may go to a “loan closet”, where furniture rents at low costs, or you may also go to a “furniture exchange” place in the community.
Sheets, blankets and other bedclothes go on sale in most communities twice a year. Advertisements for “white sales”, that is, sales on bed linen, towels, ets., often appear in January, as well as in May, June or July. Once or twice every season, there will be “garage sales”, where you can get almost anything, from a yacht to a pair of shoes, at low prices. Prices at “discount stores” and “thrift shops” are also as low as you can imagine.

Like most people, I was brought up to look upon life as a process of getting. It was not until in my late thirties that I made this important discovery: giving-away makes life so much more exciting. You need not worry if you lack money. This is how I experimented with giving-away. If an idea for improving the window display of a neighborhood store flashes to me, I step in and make the suggestion to the storekeeper. One discovery I made about giving-away is that it is almost impossible to give away anything in this world without getting
something back, though the return often comes in an unexpected form. One Sunday morning the local post office delivered an important special delivery letter to my home, though it was addressed to me at my office. I wrote the postmaster a note of appreciation. More than a year later I needed a post-office box for a new business I was starting. I was told at the window that there were no boxes left, and that my name would have to go on a long waiting list. As I was about to leave, the postmaster appeared in the doorway. He had overheard our conversation. “Wasn’t it you that wrote us that letter a year ago about delivering a special delivery to your home?” I said yes. “Well, you certainly are going to have a box in this post office if we have to make one for you. You don’t know what a letter like that means to us. We usually get nothing but complaints.”
