| American this year will swallow 15,000 tons of aspirin, one of the safest and most effective drugs invented by man. The most popular medicine in the world today, it is an effective pain reliever. Its bad effects are relatively mild and it is cheap. For millions of people suffering from arthritis (关节炎). It is the only thing that works. Aspirin, in short, is truly the 20th-century wonder drug. It is also the second largest suicide drug and is the leading cause of poisoning among children. It has side effects that, although relatively mild, are largely unrecognized among users. Although aspirin was at first sold by a German company in1899, it has been around much longer than that. Hippocrates, in ancient Greek, understood the medical value of the leaves and tree bark which today are known to contain salicylates (水杨酸碱), the chemical in aspirin. During the 19th century, there was a great deal of experimentation in Europe with this chemical, and it led to the introduction of aspirin. By 1915, aspirin tablets were available in the United States. A small quantity of aspirin (two-grain tablets) relieves pain and inflammation. It also reduces fever by interfering with (干预) some of the body's reactions. |

| "If you run for more than five minutes at any time, you might need a pair of running shoes." Advises Stephen Pribut, a US sports expert. Running shoes are highly technical footwear. The provide stability (牢固) while bearing up to three times the wearer's body weight. But it's not easy to find the right pair. Finding the right running shoes is something of an art, or a science and a feel. The science part begins with the shape of the arch (弓) of your foot, which anyone can find out at home with this quick experiment: Put your foot in water and place it on a piece of brown paper. If you see a"C" shape on the paper when you remove your foot, you have a rare high arch. If the shape looks more like a rectangle, that means you have flat feet. See something in between? That's a normal arch. Conveniently for shoppers, shoe companies nowadays divide their shoes in three categories: neutral ( for high arches), stability ( for normal or low arches) and motion control (for flat arches). So you'll know which type suits you. At this point, most people would just grab an appealing shoe and try it on, But professionals would do a few quality-control tests. First, you bend the shoe toe to heel to see where it bends. If it's not at the forefoot---where the foot actually be bends, be afraid. Then you grip both ends and twist in opposite directions. If you can twist it like a tower, it means there's zero support. Finally, you squeeze (挤) he heel in both directions. A stable heel won't cave in. Now you need to check the mold (模子) that shapes the inside of the shoe: whether its wide or narrow in the mid-foot, how it sits on the heel and how roomy the toe box is. It's wise to make the shoe purchase in the late afternoon, to allow for any swelling (肿胀) that your feet do throughout the day. Toes also decide sizing choices. The rule is that you need a finger's width from your longest toe (whether that's your big one or not) to the end of the shoe. |
| 1. What is the main idea of this passage? |
| A. Advantages of wearing running shoes fitting you. B. Ways to get to know about the shape of the arch of your foot. C. Advice on how to choose the right pair of running shoes. D. Best time to buy a pair of running shoes. |
| 2. If the arch of your foot look like a "C" shape, you have ______. |
| A. a normal arch B. a high arch C. a flat arch D. a low arch |
| 3. The underlined phrase "cave in" most probably means ______. |
| A. bend B. stretch C. shake D. crash |
| 4. Why is the late afternoon the ideal time to go shopping for shoes? |
| A. We are likely to be more patient in the afternoon. B. Feet usually become larger late in the day. C. The toes become longer late in the day. D. The arch of our feet will be in best shape in the afternoon. |

| Anthony Horowitz was miserable as a child. He was, as he put it, "never very bright" and couldn't win the attention of his very wealthy parents, who loved his "clever" old brother better. At age 8,Horowitz was sent away to an abusive (辱骂的) boarding school in his native England, even though he screamed and pleaded (恳求) with his parents year after year not to send him," The thought was, It'll be good for him." He recalled. It was not. Horowitz did badly in his studied, had few friends and was bullied (欺负) for five years. "My teachers couldn't have had a lower opinion of me." He said. "I wasn't even smart enough to rebel. The one thing I remember from the very earliest age was this desire to write. When I was 10 years old, I remember asking my parents to get me a typewriter for my birthday because I wanted to be a writer." Now, at the age of 55, Horowitz is one of the world's most successful children's book authors. His Alex Rider series has sold more than 5 million copies, and the eighth book featuring the young spy, Crocodile Tears, came out this month. The Alex Rider books tell the adventures of 14-year-old Alex Rider, an agent for The British intelligence agency M 16. Horowitz said he doesn't try to write for kids; it just comes out that way. "I have a feeling that it's to do with purity and simplicity. I give as little information as is necessary to describe the room, the character in the room, and get on with the action," he said. The style has also made Horowitz a successful writer of television shows for adults in Britain because, he says, writing books for kids is a lot like writing television for grown-ups. In both cases, it's all about entertaining people with a good story. Now, Horowitz couldn't be happier with his life. He sums up his success " … you can be anything you want to be if you just believe in yourself. I do believe it completely." |
| 1. In the boarding school, Horowitz's teachers _______. |
| A. often criticized him B. showed great concern for him C. taught him how to write storied D. thought little about his ability |
| 2. Which of the following is true of Anthony Horowitz? |
| A. He was the most loved child of his family. B. He benefited a lot from boarding school. C. He emphasizes the plot rather than character in stories. D. Although he is successful, he isn't very happy. |
| 3. What advice does Horowitz have for readers? |
| A. Confidence is the key to success B. Hardship teaches valuable lessons C. Interest is the best teacher D. Industry is the parent of success |
| 4. In which section can you most probably read the passage? |
| A. Campus Trends B. Culture & Leisure C. Our World D. Science Life |

| Someday a stranger will read your e-mail without your permission or scan the website you've visited. Or perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit card purchases or cell phones bills to find out your shopping or calling habits. In fact, it's likely some of theses things have already happened to you. Who would watch you without your permission? It might be a spouse (配偶), a girlfriend, a marketing company, a boss, a policeman or a criminal. Whoever it is, they will see you in a way you never intended to be seen--- the 21st century equivalent (同等物) of being caught without wearing anything. Psychologists tell us boundaries are healthy, that it's important to reveal (透露) yourself to friends, family and lovers in stages, at proper times. But few boundaries remain. The digital breed crumbs (面包屑) you leave everywhere make it easy for strangers to reconstruct (重现) who you are, where you are and what you like. In some cases, a simple Google search can reveal what you think. Like it or nor, increasingly we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret. The key question is: Does that matter? For many Americans, the answer obviously is "no." When opinion surveys ask Americans about privacy, most say they are concerned about losing it. A survey found an overwhelming pessimism (悲观) about privacy, with 60 percent of respondents saying that they feel their privacy is " slipping away, and that bothers me." But people say one thing and do another. Only a tiny part of Americans change any behaviours in an effort to protect their privacy. Few people turn down a discount (折扣) at tollbooths to avoid using the EZ-Pass system that can track automobile movements. And few turn down supermarkets loyalty cards. Privacy economist Alessandro Acquisti has run a series of tests that reveal people will give personal information like Social Security numbers just to get their hands on a pitiful 50-cents-off coupon (优惠卷). But privacy does matter--- at least sometimes. It is like health. When you have it, you don't notice it. Only when it's gone do you wish you'd done more to protect it. |
| 1. What would psychologists advise on the relationships between friends? |
| A. Friends should open their hearts to each other.' B. There should be a distance even between friends. C. Friends should always be faithful to each other. D. There should be fewer arguments between friends. |
| 2. Why does the author say " We live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret?" |
| A. Modern society has finally developed in to an open society. B. People leave traces (踪迹) around when using modern technology. C. There are always people who are curious about others' affairs. D. Many search engines profit by revealing people's identities (身份). |
| 3. What do most Americans do to protect privacy? |
| A. They change behaviours that might reveal their identity. B. The use various loyalty cards for business transaction(处理). C. They rely more and more on electronic devices. D. The talk a lot but hardly do anything about it. |
| 4. According to the passage, privacy is like health in that _______. |
| A. people will make every efforts to keep it. B. its importance is hardly understood. C. it is something that can easily be lost. D. people don't value it until they lose it. |
