| All over my garden I've planted nothing but roses, sweet and - if looked at far away-bright with color like sunset clouds, I'd be very happy if anyone of my visiting friends should desire to pick and take some for their homes. I trust that any friend of mine carrying the rose would disappear into the distance feeling that his emotions had been rekindled (重燃). A close friend came for a visit the other day. I know her to be a lover of flowers and plants. And for that reason I told her at her departure that she should pick a bunch of roses to grace her bedroom. I promised that the smell of the roses would be wafted far, far away. That girl friend of mine, tiptoeing into the garden in high spirits, smelt here and there, but in the end she didn't pick a single rose. I said there were so many of them that she would pick as many as she'd like to; I told her that I was not a flower farmer and didn't make a living out of them. Saying so I raised the scissors for the sacrifice of the flowers, but she stopped me, crying no, no, no! To cut such beautiful roses would hurt one, she said. With her hands seizing at my sleeves, she told me that by no means should they be cut. Roses are the smiling face of the earth, and who could be so iron-hearted as to destroy a smile so charming? My mind was thoroughly shocked: the ugly earth, the rough earth, the plain earth-it is for the reason of that smile that it wins the care and pity of people. |
| 1. The underlined word"wafted" in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to "______". |
| A. moved B. lost C. destroyed D. felt |
| 2. The writer plants nothing but roses in her garden probably because ______. |
| A. she can make money out of them B. her friends like them C. she enjoys the roses very much D. the roses can rekindle her friends' emotions |
| 3. Why did the writer's close friend refuse to pick a single rose? |
| A. Because the roses were not beautiful. B. Because she did not like this kind of roses. C. Because the writer did not want to give her any. D. Because she loved the roses very much. |
| 4. What would be the best title for the passage? |
| A. A lovely rose garden. B. The smiling face of the earth. C. The pity of people to the roses. D. A lover of flowers. |

| BEIJING, Nov. 30 - The Bird's Nest may have been built for last year's Summer Games but Beijing's Olympic stadium will soon be aiming at fans of winter sports. As temperatures have begun to drop in recent weeks, so too has the number of visitors to the 80,000-seater venue, which cost 3.6 billion yuan ($527 million) to build. And, fearing another harsh (寒冷的) winter, National Stadium Co Ltd, which owns the Bird's Nest, yesterday planed to spend 50 million yuan on a "snow festival". From Dec 19, visitors will be able to pay 120 yuan to enjoy skiing and snowboarding, among other things, on its newly constructed slopes. The stadium owners expect to attract more than 20,000 visitors a day - twice as many as it currently does-during the two-month festival, which will include events for both the Western and Chinese new years. Officials revealed it would take just 5,000 visitors a day to cover the costs of the project. "It's not a bad idea. You can ski on man-made snow in Dubai, so why not here?" said Heiko Grasse, a tourist from Germany, yesterday. Famous outdoor equipment makers and local brands are in talks over sponsorship for the event, the Bird's Nest owners said yesterday, while the capital's television network will also provide 500 hours of coverage. "The Bird's Nest will not have a cold winter again," Wu Jingjun, the new president of National Stadium Co Ltd, told China Daily yesterday. "We will create seasonal events almost every month from now on with assistance from the government and, importantly, the public." Yang Cheng, a newly appointed vice-president of National Stadium Co Ltd, said the snow festival would run for five consecutive winters if successful. |
| 1. How many people visit The Bird's Nest a day before the"snow festival"? |
| A. About 80,000. B. About 20,000. C. About 10,000. D. About 5,000. |
| 2. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text? |
| A. The"snow festival" will attract more visitors from China than the Western countries. B. People aren't allowed to visit The Bird's Nest before Dec 19. C. The"snow festival" would run for at least five winters. D. More than 2.4 million yuan a day is expected to be made in the"snow festival". |
| 3. What does Wu Jingjun mean by saying"The Bird's Nest will not have a cold winter again"? |
| A. The Bird's Nest will be kept at high temperatures in winter. B. Winter Olympic Games will be held in The Bird's Nest. C. The"snow festival" will provide many events in winter. D. The Bird's Nest will get much more assistance from the government. |

| Some people worry about being the target of laughter. These people are frightened. They suffer from an emotional disorder called gelotophobia. That long name comes from the Greek language. The word Gelos means laugh, while phobos means fear. Victor Rubio is an expert on human behavior at the Autonomous University of Madrid. He says people laugh at others for many different reasons. He says being laughed at causes a fear response in the victim. That fear leads the victim to avoid social situations. Sadly, gelotophobia limits the way they lead their lives. Victor Rubio was among researchers in a huge international study about laughter. The researchers wanted to understand the difference between normal shyness and true gelotophobia. Another goal was to measure the fear of being laughed at within different cultures. A team from the University of Zurich led ninety-three researchers from many countries in search of answers The researchers surveyed more than twenty-two thousand people. They used questions provided in forty-two languages. Their findings were reported in the scientific publication Humor. Some of the people questioned said they felt unsure of themselves in social situations. But they hid their feelings. Others said they avoided social situations where they had been laughed at before. People also admitted to differing levels of fear that they themselves were the targets of other people's laughter. The researchers measured and compared all these reactions. Fear of being laughed at, being made fun of, is a common emotion. But the researchers learned that these feelings differed from nation to nation. For example, the study found that people in Turkmenistan and Cambodia are likely to hide insecure (不安) feelings when they are around others' laughter. But people in Iraq, Egypt and Jordan who feel they have been victims before may avoid such situations. People in Finland were the least likely to believe that people laughing in their presence were making fun of them. Only eight and a half percent of Finns said they would - compared to eighty percent of those questioned in Thailand. |
| 1. The passage is mainly about _______. |
| A. a common emotion B. laughter C. shyness D. gelotophobia |
| 2. In which country are people most likely to avoid social situations where they have been laughed at before? |
| A. Turkmenistan B. Iraq C. Finland D. Thailand |
| 3. According to the text the following is true EXCEPT that ______. |
| A. people suffer from gelotophobia because they are shy B. not all the people questioned hid their feelings in social situations C. perhaps Humor is a magazine D. people in Finland are the least likely to suffer from gelotophobia |
| 4. A person who suffers from gelotophobia will probably ______. |
| A. be active in social activities B. be easily laughed at C. like to laugh at others D. like to stay alone |

| The name of Macau comes from the word Magao (A-Ma Temple), which were shrines (圣地) dedicated to Mazu, a holy sea goddess worshiped by Macau people. It was said that when the Portuguese people first came here in the middle of sixteenth century, one of the officers asked a fisherman the name of the land. The man misunderstood the officer's question, and answered "Magao"- the name of A-Ma Temple in front them. Many people wonder how Macau is spelled. Is it "Macao" or"Macau"? Both are actually correct. Macao is Portuguese, and this is the official spelling backed by Macau SAR Government. Macau is English, that's how they spell it in the U.S. and other parts of the world. However, most publications use"Macau" as the preferred spelling. Members of the Southern Song Dynasty and some 50,000 followers were the first recorded inhabitants (居民) of the area, seeking shelter in Macau from invading Mongols in 1277. They were able to defend their settlements and establish themselves there. The Hoklo Boat people were the first to show commercial interest in Macau as a trading center for the southern provinces. During the Ming Dynasty (1368-1643), fishermen migrated to Macau from various parts of Guangdong and Fujian provinces and built the A-Ma Temple in which they prayed for safety on the sea. Chinese fishermen have been living and working in the Pearl River Delta for more than four thousand years. The small peninsula and islands that came to be called Macau were first settled by the Portuguese in the sixteenth century. In 1998, Chinese (Cantonese) was given official status and the same legal power as Portuguese, the official language. The Chinese government assumed sovereignty over Macau on December 20, 1999, ending 329 years of Portuguese rule. |
