    spoke to the man's assistant as she passed by. "Is it true" he asked, "that he's three hundred and
    twenty-nine?"

           A man came home from work late, tired and unhappy, to find his 5-year-old son waiting for him at the
    door.
          The boy asked, "Daddy, how much do you make per hour?" The father was furious at his son's question.
    When he said $20 an hour, the little boy asked his father to lend $10 to him. The father was even angrier because
    he thought the boy just wanted some money to buy a toy. So he didn't answer his son.
          The little boy quietly went to his room. After about an hour or so, the man calmed down and started to think:
    Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $10.
           "Maybe I was too hard on you just now," the man went into the room and said. "Here's the $10 you asked
    for." 
           "Oh, thank you, Daddy!" He said. Then, he reached under his pillow, pulled out some crumpled coins and

            If you are a member of a social networking (社交的) website such as QQ, Kaixin, MySpace or Facebook,
    you can add a new friend by sending someone a friend request (请求). If you later fall out with that person,
    what do you do? You can hit the "unfriend" button (操作框) and remove (移走) him or her from your friend list. That means you won't talk, exchange information, or see each other's updates (更新) on the website any more.
           That is a quick way to solve problems, isn't it? In fact, "unfriend" is often used on social networking
    websites. It has become so popular that Oxford University Press recently chose it as the 2009 word of the year.
           Experts at Oxford University Press look at how the words of the English language change from year to
    year. They choose words that are popular and have important cultural meanings. 
           Christine Lindberg, editor for Oxford's dictionary program, said the word "unfriend" is popular now and
    may stay popular for a long time. People understand its meaning in the online social networking context
    (上下文), and also accept it as a modern verb. So it makes an interesting choice for the Word of the Year. 
           How to use the word? You can say "I decided to unfriend my roommate on Facebook after we had a fight"
    or "I unfriended Alice on MySpace when she said something bad to me."
    1. How many social networking websites are mentioned?
    [     ]
    A. Two.
    B. Three.

    3. If you hit the "unfriend" button, you can ______.
    [     ]
    A. remove a person from your friend list
    B. share information with a person
    C. send a person a friend request
    D. send messages to a person

    [     ]

            I remember as a small child at gatherings (聚会) with family or friends, someone would ask: "What are you
    going to be when you grow up?"
            At first I said I wanted to be a cowboy or some super hero. Later it was a fireman, artist, architect
    (建筑师)… As I grew older my dreams of the future changed. When at last I was in college, I was asked: "What
    will you major (主修) in?" By then I had my heart set on becoming a computer programmer. So I studied and
    prepared for that life. I was designing software full-time for much of my life.
            I am content (满意的) that could realize my dream. However, for many, there is a "thief" who goes around
    stealing our dreams.
            We find ourselves close to reaching our goal. Then we hear this small voice inside our heads saying: "You'll
    never make it." "You can't possibly do this." "Very few have ever done this successfully." On and on, the voice
    predicts (预言) some kind of failure.
            Don't listen to that voice. There are no overnight (突如其来的) successes, but with perseverance
    (坚定不移). It will come. Imagine yourself in the life you dream of living. Then in your heart, believe it will
    happen for you, as it has for others. Then work, work, and work! You get the picture.
            Be true to your dream, and don't let anyone steal it from you — especially yourself. You can do anything
    your heart desires, so don't give up or give in.

            Say you just got a box of chocolate. Which piece do you pick first? A man has studied people's choices.
    He says they tell something about the person. Did you choose a round piece? You are a person who likes the
    party. Did you choose an oval (椭圆形的) shape? (1)You are a person who likes to make things. Picking a
    square shape shows something else. The person is honest and truthful. You can depend on (依靠) him or her.
             (2) What kind of ______ do you _______? Maybe you like milk chocolate. This shows you have warm
    feelings about the past. Dark chocolate means something else. A person who chooses it looks toward the future.

    people like chocolate with nuts (果仁). These are people who like to help others. Different choices may show
    different characters (性格). Do you believe these ideas? Can candy tell all these things? It doesn't really matter.

    根据提示,用英语介绍扎龙自然保护区。(词数不少于80,开头已给出,不计入总词数)

    1.扎龙自然保护区是世界上最重要的湿地之一;许多鸟儿整年生活在那里;湿地里有许多鱼,所以鸟儿
         能容易地找到食物;
    2.越来越多的鸟儿因为没有足够的生存空间而处于危险当中;许多鸟儿死掉了;
    3.中国政府想要保护这些濒危鸟类;它们在像扎龙这样的保护区会是安全的。
