People in the western state of California who are in the United States illegally can now request a driver's license. The law went into effect on January 1. California is not the first American state with such a law, but it has the largest number of illegal immigrants. More than a million people began to request licenses shortly after the new state law went into effect. Among them was Christian Alvarado. Mr. Alvarado entered the

United States from El Salvador eight years ago without permission from the U.S. government. Some call such people \

Mr. Alvarado thinks it so exciting, for he has been waiting for the license for a long time. But some are worried that their personal information will be used to find them and deport them. Armando Botello is a spokesman for the California Department of Motor Vehicles, or DMV. He says people should not be afraid, for such information will not be shared.

The new licenses are the same as licenses given to citizens except that they have the words \Federal Limits Apply\Ana Garcia, working at the Central American Resource Center, says some illegal immigrants fear those words will be used to abuse them. Civil rights groups say the police and others will not.

Dan Schnur, a political scientist at the University of Southern California, said that the main argument against the new law is that it rewards illegal behavior. But Professor Schnur argued that young, white Americans generally support immigration reform, including giving driver's licenses to illegal immigrants \simply because they grow up in a much more multicultural society than their parents or their grandparents did.\that have taken place in California will spread throughout the United States. 21. Why did the new law make Mr. Alvarado excited? A. Because he can request a driver's license.

B. Because he became a legal immigrant of California. C. Because he got his driving license as an illegal immigrant. D. Because a law went into effect for the new immigrants.

22. What is the difference of the new licenses compared to those given to citizens? A. The words “Federal Limits Apply” will abuse illegal immigrants B. They can't be used to travel on an airplane or enter a federal building. C. They can be used to act against the police and other people.

D. With the words \ 23. What's the public's attitude towards the new law released on January 1 in California? A. supportive B. negative C. neutral D. controversial

When I was nine years old, I loved to go fishing with my dad. But the only thing that wasn’t very fun about it was that he could catch many fish while I couldn’t catch anything. I usually got pretty upset and kept asking him why. He always answered, “Son, if you want to catch a fish, you have to think like a fish.” I remember being even more upset then because, “I’m not a fish!” I didn’t know how to think like a fish. Besides, I reasoned, how could what I think influence what a fish does?

As I got a little older I began to understand what my dad really meant. So, I read some books on fish.

And I even joined the local fishing club and started attending the monthly meetings. I learned that a fish is a cold-blooded animal and therefore is very sensitive to water temperature. That is why fish prefer shallow water to deep water because the former is warmer. Besides, water is usually warmer in direct sunlight than in the shade. Yet, fish don’t have any eyelids and the sun hurts their eyes. The more I understood fish, the more I became effective at finding and catching them.

When I grew up and entered the business world, I remember hearing my first boss say, “We all need to think like salespeople.” But it didn’t completely make sense. My dad never once said “If you want to catch a fish you need to think like a fisherman.” What he said was, “You need to think like a fish.” Years later, with great efforts to promote long-term services to people much older and richer than me, I gradually learned what we all need is to think more like customers. It is not an easy job. I will show you how in the following chapters.

24. Why was the author upset in the fishing trips when he was nine? A. He could not catch a fish. C. His father didn’t teach him fishing.

B. His father was not patient with him.

D. He could not influence a fish as his father did.

25. What did the author’s father really mean? A. To read about fish. C. To go fishing usually.

B. To love fishing.

D. To study fishing in many ways.

. 26. According to the author, fish are most likely to be found A. in deep water on sunny days C. in shallow water under sunlight

B. in deep water on cloudy days D. in shallow water under waterside trees

. 27. After entering the business world, the author found A. it easy to think like a customer

B. his father’s fishing advice inspiring

C. his first boss’s sales ideas reasonable D. it difficult to sell services to poor people

We all know what a brain is. A doctor will tell you that the brain is the organ of the body in the head. It controls our body’s functions, movements, emotions and thoughts. But a brain can mean so much more.

A brain can also simply be a smart person. If a person is called brainy, she is smart and intelligent. If a family has many children but one of them is super smart, you could say “She’s the brains in the family.” And if you are the brains behind something, you are responsible for developing or organizing it. For example, Bill Gates is the brains behind Microsoft.

Brain trust is a group of experts who give advice. Word experts say the phrase “brain trust” became popular when Franklin D. Roosevelt first ran for president in 1932. Several professors gave him advice on social and political issues facing the U.S. These professors were called his “brain trust.”

These ways we use the word “brain” all make sense. But other ways we use the word are not so easy to understand. For example, to understand the next brain expression, you first need to know the word “drain”.
