Then he saw an older man 6 up to the young woman, take off his sweater and place it on her 7 . The man said, "Here, keep the sweater. The 8 is even better when you're warm." She smiled her 9 and wrapped the warm sweater 10 her shoulders as the man went away. Before the woman left, she found a middle-aged woman who was also 11 cold and she handed her the sweater. " 12 it," she said. "The view is even better when you're warm." My friend was 13 in that, so he kept his eyes on the sweater.

| John was waiting for the girl whose heart he knew, but whose face he didn't, the girl with the rose. Thirteen months ago, in a Florida library he took a book off the shell and found himself interested in the notes in the margin (页边). The soft handwriting showed a thoughtful soul and insightful (有洞察力的) mind. In front of the book, he discovered the name, Miss Hollis Maynell. With time and effort he got her address. He wrote her a letter introducing himself and inviting her to keep in touch. During the next year and one month the two grew to know each other through the mail. A romance started. John requested a photograph, but she refused. She felt that if he really cared, it wouldn't matter what she looked like. Later they agreed on their first meeting-7:00 pm at Grand Central Station in New York. "You'll recognize me," she wrote, "by the red rose I'll be wearing my coat." So at 7:00 he was in the station looking for the girl with the red rose. A girl in a green suit was coming toward him, her figure long and slim and her eyes were blue as flowers. Almost uncontrollably he came to her, and just at this moment he saw Hollis Maynell-a woman well past 40. The girl was walking quickly away. He did not hesitate (犹豫), saying, "I'm John, and you must'be Miss Maynell. I am so glad you could meet me; may I take you to dinner?" The woman smiled, "I don't know what this is about, son," she answered, "but the young lady in the green suit begged me to wear this rose on my coat. And she said if you were to ask me out to dinner, I should tell you that she is waiting for you in the restaurant across the street. She said it was some kind of test!" |

| "How are you?" is a nice question. It's a friendly way that people in the United States greet each other. But "How are you?" is also a very unusual questin. It's a question that often doesn't have an answer. The person who asks "How are you?" hopes to hear the answer "Fine.", even if the person's friend isn't fine. The reason is that "How are you?" isn't really a question and "Fine." isn't really an answer. They are simply other ways of saying "Hello!" or "Hi!". Sometimes, people also don't say exactly what they mean. For example, when someone asks, "Do you agree?", the other person might be thinking, "No, I disagree. I think you're wrong …" But it isn't very polite to disagree strongly, so the other person might say "I'm not sure …". It's a nice way to say that you don't agree with someone. People also don't say exactly what they are thingking when they finish talking with other people. For example, many talks over the phone finish when one person says "I've to go now." Often, the person who wants to hang up gives an excuse, "Someone is at the door." "Something is burning on the stove." The excuses might be real, or it might not. Perhaps the person who wants to hang up simply doesn't want to talk any more, but it isn't polite to say that. The excuse is more polite, and it doesn't hurt the other person. When they are greeting each other, talking about an idea, or finishing a talk, people often don't say exactly what they are thinking. It's an important way that people try to be nice to each other, and it's also a part of the game of language. |
| 1. When a person in the United States asks "How are you?", he or she wants to hear "______". |
|
[ ] |

| 3. When a person says "I've to go now. Someone is at the door.", he or she may be ______. |
|
[ ] |
| A. giving an excuse B. hurting someone's feeling C. talking to a person at the door D. going to another place |
| 4. One of the rules of the game of language is probably "______". |
|
[ ] |
| A. Always say what you mean. B. Don't disagree with people. C. Never say exactly what you're thinking. D. Be polite. |

  Everyone's at it, even my neighbors. I thought I might be the only person left in the world who hadn't done an eBay deal. So, I decided to try my hand at online auction (网上拍卖). Buying for Beginners Sign up on www. eBay. co. uk. Most items (e.g. tables, computers and books) ready for auction will come with a picture and a short description; others may be marked with"Buy It Now" and have a fixed price. You can buy these right away. If the item is being auctioned, you offer the highest price you are prepared to pay and eBay bids (出价) for you. The bid will be increased little by little until it goes beyond your highest bid, then you are emailed and asked if you would like to bid again. Auctions last up to 10 days and when they finish, you get an email telling you whether you have won the item. How to Pay Sellers decide how they would like to be paid and you need to check this before placing a bid as you might not want to post a check or postal orders. The easiest way is through PayPal, an online payment system that takes the money away from your credit card. Selling Made Simple If you plan to sell on eBay, it helps to include a picture of the item. I followed my friends' advice and put up the items I wanted to sell for a 10-day auction, starting on a Thursday. This way buyers had two weekends to bid. The big Things in Life It's easy to post a small item, but furniture is a big part of eBay and this has to be collectively sent by deliverymen. Check the ways of delivery before you bid. |
| 1. What is the passage mainly about? |
|
[ ] |
| A. How to make payment online. B. Ways of making delivery online. C. How to use an online-auction system. D. Advantages of an online auction system. |
| 2. After bidding for an item, a buyer ______. |
|
[ ] |
| A. has chances to make higher bids B. will get what he wants in ten days C. should make payment immediately D. may check its picture and description |
| 3. The easiest way of making payment mentioned in the passage is ______. |
|
[ ] |
| A. through a local banking system B. by sending the money to the seller C. through an online payment system D. by paying the deliveryman directly |

| To what degree can a computer achieve intelligence (智力)? The answer to this question may lie in a newly-developed US computer program called Smarter Child and the Internet. If you ran into Smarter Child online, you would be surprised at this kid's huge memory. It can recite many facts. For example, Smarter Child knows every baseball player in every team this season. He knows every word in the dictionary and the weather in every major city areas across the US. However, if you ask Smarter Child other questions, you get stranger answers. A question about Smarter Child's age returns. "One year, 11 days, 16 hours, 7 minutes, and 47 seconds!" Asking where he lives gets, "In a clean room in a high-tech building in California．" Smarter Child uses the vast information on the World Wide Web as his memory bank. To answer questions about spelling, for instance, Smarter Child goes to American Heritage Dictionary online. For the weather, he visits www.intellicast.com. Some scientists believe that by joining the many systems of the Internet, an artificial being with the combined knowledge of, say, Albert Einstein, Richard Nixon and Britney Spears could be born. However if Smarter Child wants to think and learn on his own like the boy-computer David in the movie A.I., Artificial Intelligence, he must overcome two problems. The first is that computers find it difficult to read web pages because the files are labeled in different ways. That's why programmers need to tell Smarter Child where to look for the weather. It would be a much more difficult task to let him find it himself. Another problem is that while Smarter Child can process (处理) information more exactly and faster than any human, he lacks common sense-a basic grounding of knowledge that is obvious to any young child. |
| 1. From the text we can infer that www.inte3llicast.com is a website _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. which is specially designed to help Smarter Child B. where we people can find Smarter Child C. where weather forecasts are made D. which is about artificial intelligence |
| 2. It is probably most difficult for Smarter Child to _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. tell us how to spell a difficult word B. tell us how the American government is run C. provide us with a famous poem by Shakespeare D. learn how to tell right behaviors from wrong ones. |
| 3. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text? |
|
[ ] |
| A. Smart Child has his own memory bank big enough for all kinds of information. B. A.I. Artificial Intelligence is probably the name of a film about a boy-computer. C. Smart Child can recognize different files and find information needed on his own. D. We have similar product now which has the knowledge of Einstein, Nixon and Spears. |
| 4. Which of the following is the bet title for the passage? |
|
[ ] |
| A. A New Web Child B. Smarter Child C. The Future of Internet D. Intelligence Development |
| 根据句句意完成以下句子。 |
| 1. Now women in China _____ an important _____ in the Olympic Games (起…作用). 2. The boss wants to know what you will _____ _____ this thing. (处理) 3.
