| What happens to a teenage kid when the world he thought he knew suddenly changes? Find out in Little Brother by American author Cory Doctorow. It is a fascinating book for a new generation of sci-fi readers. Marcus Yallow, 17, from San Francisco is much more comfortable in front of a computer than obeying the rules of society. Smart, fast and wise to the ways of the networked world, he has no trouble outwitting (骗过) his high school's monitoring system. This way he and his friends get to head off to play a popular online game in real life. While they are playing, a bomb explodes on the Bay Bridge. Marcus stops a military vehicle to get help for his injured friend, but this simple act throws him into a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) secret prison. There he is treated as a possible terrorist. He is eventually let go after four days, but his injured friend disappears. When he returns, Marcus discovers that there are many "security measures" in place and that now all citizens are treated like potential terrorists. While some consider this government action necessary for public safety, Marcus sees this as a complete destruction of the rights he is supposed to have as a citizen. He knows that no one will believe his story, which leaves him with only one thing to do: to take down the DHS himself. He helps organize a large network called Xnet to spread the truth, anonymously (匿名地). The book presents a young man who is irresponsible, but learns about himself, and grows, in the course of the story. As part of this learning and growing he becomes aware of very serious issues about his society. |

| A simple flower made headlines in the British press last week. How could that be? British Prime Minister David Cameron and his ministers were attending a reception hosted by Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing. They insisted on wearing poppies (罂粟花) in their buttonholes. What's wrong with that? According to the Global Times, Chinese officials apparently had asked the UK delegation not to wear poppies. The British said that their poppies meant a great deal to them and they would wear them all the time. So what's the significance of the poppy? It's a flower which has different cultural and symbolic meanings for British and Chinese people. From the Chinese point of view, the poppy is a symbol of China's humiliation (dishonor) at the hands of European powers in the Opium Wars of the 19th century. Britain forced China to open its borders to trade-including in the narcotic opium (a drug that affects your mind in a harmful way)-which was made from poppies grown in India. Yet from the British viewpoint the poppy is a reminder of the killing during World War I. Blood-red poppies grew on the battlefields of Flanders in Belgium where many thousands of British, Belgian and French soldiers died or were buried.Since then, Poppy Day or Remembrance Day (November 11) has become a time in the UK to remember the sacrifices of British soldiers and civilians in times of war. So you can see that the poppy set off strong feelings in the hearts of Chinese and British people for different reasons. And it makes sense for us to try to understand each other's standpoint. Of course cultural differences can also be interesting and funny. And what one nation or nation's leader thinks is an acceptable gift may be viewed very differently by their guest from overseas. US President Barack Obama famously gave a gift of an iPod to Britain's queen-a dull person with no interest in music. Obama also presented Gordon Brown(when Brown was British prime minister) with a fine selection of American movies. But they were in US format and impossible to play on British DVD players. Many countries have diplomats stationed overseas. Diplomats provide information and advice to their governments back home. However, sometimes it would seem that even diplomats can overlook the cultural significance of a small flower. |
| 1. British Prime Minister David Cameron probably attended a reception in Beijing on _____. |
| A. October 1 B. November 11 C. December 31 D. January 1 |
| 2. The poppy reminds the Chinese of _____. |
| A. the shame caused by European countries in the 19th century B. the British soldiers killed and buried during world War C. the Chinese soldiers killed during World War D. the suffering cause by British during World War |
| 3. The diplomatic problem in Beijing is mainly caused by ____. |
| A. the translation mistake B. the language difference C. the cultural difference D. the different lifestyle |
| 4. We can infer that ____. |
| A. Britain's Queen is not interested in art B. Gordon Brown was fond of American movies US President Barack Obama sent him C. US President Barack Obama received a gift for music D. Britain's Queen may not like the iPod US President Barack Obama presented her |

| Airplanes are polluters. They're as noisy as a rock concert, and send out poisons into the air as well as dump millions of pounds of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere every year. By 2050, emissions (排放) from planes are expected to become one of the largest contributors to global warming. That's why researchers at MIT are designing a completely new type of airplane for NASA that will enable greener airplanes to take flight before 2050. The 180-passenger D"double bubble" series was designed to replace the Boeing 737 class aircraft, the most popular jetliner in the world right now. The design is called a "double bubble" because it uses two partial cylinders (气缸) placed side by side. Those two cylinders create a wider structure that looks like two soap bubbles joined together. In today's commercial airplanes, air flows directly into the engines located on the plane's wings. That high-speed air flow drags on the plane, and requires more fuel to overcome the design inefficiency. MIT's design changes all that. By moving the engines to the plane's tail, they take in slower moving air present in the wake of the fuselage (机舱). Less drag means less fuel is needed to get the plane the same distance. Burning less fuel can help passengers' wallet as well as the environment. The environmental implications of saving energy are as just as clear: the fewer emissions that planes spout into the atmosphere, the healthier our planet. But for passengers, we still have a couple decades to wait before any of these planes make it onto the runway. NASA's goal is to make sure the planes that MIT has designed can take off by 2035. |
| 1. The best feature of the double bubble flight is that _____. |
| A. it will make no noise B. it will hold more passengers C. it is designed to save fuel D. it needs no runways to take off |
| 2. Which of the following is NOT true according to the text? |
| A. Emission from planes are contributing the most to the global warming B. Airplanes are very noisy for the environment C. MIT's new design will save passengers' money D. It's expected that NASA's goal will be realize by the year 2035. |
| 3. What's the main idea of the text? |
| A. Here is Boeing 733's terminal B. Researchers are designing greener aircraft C. Passengers will enjoy lower prices D. Airlines attract passengers with new planes |
| 4. The passage will come from a ____. |
| A. News report B. Science fiction C. Travel diary D. Business magazine |

| American children aren't the only couch potatoes with nearly one third of children globally spending three hours a day or more watching TV or on computers, according to the study of over 70,000 teens in 34 nations. From Argentina to Zambia, Regina Guthold of the World Health Organization in Geneva and her colleagues found most children aren't getting enough exercise and it made no difference if they lived in a rich or a poor country. "With regards to physical activity levels, we did not find much of a difference between poor and rich countries," Guthold said. "Growing up in a poor country does not necessarily mean that kids get more physical activity." The study was published in The Journal of Pediatrics, looking at 72,845 schoolchildren aged 13 to 15 from North and South America, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. The children were surveyed between 2003 and 2007. The researchers defined adequate physical activity as at least an hour of exercise outside of gym class at least five days a week.Children who spent three or more hours a day watching TV, playing computer games, or chatting with friends -- aside from time in school or time spent doing homework-were classified as sedentary. The researchers found only one quarter of the boys and 15 percent of the girls were getting enough exercise by these definitions. A quarter of boys and nearly 30 percent of girls were sedentary and didn't get enough exercise with girls less active than boys in every country aside from Zambia. Uruguay had the highest percentage of active boys, at 42 percent, while Zambia had the lowest, at 8 percent. Girls from India were the most active, with 37 percent meeting exercise recommendations, while girls from Egypt were the least active, with just 4 percent getting adequate exercise. Children in Myanmar were the least sedentary, with 13 percent of boys and 8 percent of girls classified as sedentary. The most sedentary nations were St. Lucia and the Cayman Islands, with 58 percent of boys and 64 percent of girls spending at least three hours a day in sedentary activities. People show deep concern for kids' lack of physical activity in various nations. Why do they have a low level of physical activity? Guthold speculated (推测) that urbanization (都市化)could be a factor as well as access to cars and TVs. |
| 1. If you are a sedentary, you _____. |
| A. are a diligent student spending much time doing homework B. have at least an hour of exercise outdoors every day C. like watching TV and playing computer games D. spend a lot of time sitting down and not moving |
| 2. Which statement is TURE about the finding of the study led by Regina Guthold? |
| A. Most children around the world don't meet the exercise recommendation. B. Girls in every country are no more active than boys. C. Children in rich countries relatively get less physical activities . D. Only 4 percent of the girls from Egypt are not active in exercise. |
| 3. Which could be the best title of the passage? |
| A. American children are addicted to TVs and computers B. Nearly one third of children globally are couch potatoes C. Effects of physical activities on health D. Unimaginable standard of physical exercise |

| Recently, our school has held the meaningful discussion on whether it is reasonable for middle school students to have classes on weekends. Some of our classmates believe we should have classes on weekends because we can make fully use of the free time to review the lessons we had learnt. Some others are against the opinion, saying we had better to have a good rest on weekends so that we can work effective during the weekdays. The rest agree with neither of the opinion. They have the view which keeping the balance between work and play are both important for us. They suggest one day of the weekend should used to learn our lessons and during the other day we do something interested or have a rest. __________________________________________________________________________________________ |
