| When a close friend dies, it often forces you to consider your own death. The more you have in common with the friend, the more his death will make you wonder about your own. Sometimes you will naturally say to yourself, "It could just as easily have been me." Such a death has a way of reminding us how fragile life is, and it may cause you to reassess (重新评价) the direction of your own life. Jack's story is a good example. A successful businessman making a lot of money, Jack didn't spend as much time with his family as he wanted. His job required him to work long hours. But three years ago one of his best friends, a man who worked in the same office, had a heart attack. He died while celebrating his daughter's eighteenth birthday in a restaurant. He was only fifty years old. Not long after his friend's death, Jack started to have a chest pain. Finally he had a good physical check-up. He received a clean bill of health. But the chest pain continued. He kept thinking of the death of his friend. Jack thought about how much his friend missed in life and he saw how hard it was for his friend's family to manage after he passed away. Jack realized that he didn't want to end up his life that way. He talked his feelings over with his wife and children, and decided to change his way of life. The family moved to a small town where he started a simple life. Now he is running a small art gallery (画廊). He is relaxed, and says he has never been so happy in his life. And he has got no more chest pain. |

| Force other than damaging winds are also at work inside tornadoes (龙卷风). Sometimes, as the turning, jumping funnel (漏斗) passes over a house, the walls and ceiling burst apart as if a bomb had gone off inside. This explosion (爆炸) is caused by the low air pressure at the center of a tornado. The pressure at the center of a tornado is usually 13 pounds per square inch. However, inside the house the air pressure is normal, about 15 pounds per square inch. The difference of 2 pounds per square inch between the inside and outside pressure may not seem like much. But suppose a tornado funnel passes over a small building that measures 20 by 10 by 10 feet. On each square inch of the building, there is 2 pounds of pressure from the inside that is not balanced by air pressure outside the building. On the ceiling, that adds up to an unbalanced pressure of 57,600 pounds. The pressure on the four walls adds up to 172,800 pounds. If windows are open in the building, some of the inside air will rush out through them. This will balance the pressure inside and outside the building. But if the windows are shut tightly, the great inside pressure may cause the building to burst. Unfortunately, heavy rain happens in thunderstorms that later produce tornadoes. So, people often shut all windows to protect their property. This may cause far worse damage later. |
| 1. Which of the following is the main topic of the passage? |
|
[ ] |
| A. Where tornadoes are formed. B. When tornadoes usually occur. C. How tornadoes can be prevented. D. Why tornadoes cause so much damage. |
| 2. According to the passage, tornadoes can destroy building because the _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. force of a tornado increases the air pressure in a building B. air pressure at the center of a tornado is over 172,000 pounds C. weight of a tornado can crush a building's roof when it passes overhead D. air pressure inside a tornado is less than the air pressure inside a building |
| 3. According to the passage, the pressure on a building during a tornado can be reduced by _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. closing the windows B. opening the windows C. using an electric fan D. making the roof and walls stronger |

| A newspaper reporter's job can be very interesting. He meets all types of people and lives quite a busy life. He is on the rush for news all the time, then after several years he may get a desk job, and life becomes a bit more settled. Let's look at his work a little more closely. In a day he may have to interview the prime minister of a foreign country, and the next day he may be writing about a football match. Sometimes he may be so busy that he has hardly any time to sleep. And at other times he may go on for days looking out for news materials yet return empty-handed. In the beginning, a reporter has to cover a very wide field. After the early years he becomes more specialized in his work. For example, he may finally be asked to write only on court cases or politics or sports. Some reporters may become so specialized that they are asked only to write on a special thing: horse racing, for example. In most newspaper houses there is at least one special racing correspondent. Some newspapers have book reviews. Their job is delightful. They read the latest book and then write reviews on the ones they like. Then there are those who write on films, so they get to see them even before they are shown in the cinema. How lucky, you would say! A reporter's job can also be very dangerous. A number of them have died rushing from one assignment to another, and if there is a flood or a riot (暴乱) they may get hurt or even be killed. Three years ago there was a reporter whose camera was smashed by a group of men, because they were angry with him for taking their picture. Dangerous or not, one thing is certain, and that is, their job is never dull! |
| 1. What does the underlined phrase "on the rush" mean in the passage? |

[ ] |
| A. there is a flood or a riot B. there is an interview with the prime minister C. there is a football match D. he is seeing a horror film |

| More than 6,000 children were expelled (开除) from the U. S. schools last year for bringing guns and bombs to schools, the U. S. Department of Education said on May 8. The department gave a report on the expulsions (开除) as saying handguns accounted for 85 percent of the 6,093 expulsions in 1996-97, against 7 percent for rifles (步枪) or shotguns and 25 percent for other types of firearms. "The report is a clear sign that our nation's public schools are cracking down (严惩) on students who bring guns to school." Education Secretary Richard Riley said in a statement. "We need to be tough-minded about keeping guns out of our schools and do everything to keep our children safe." In March 1997, an 11-year-old and a 13-year-old boy using handguns and rifles shot dead four children and a teacher at a school in Jonesboro, Arkansas. In October, two were killed and seven wounded in a shooting at a Mississippi school. Two months later, a 14-year-old boy killed three high school students and wounded five in Daducah, Kentucky. Most of the expulsions, 56 per cent, were from high schools, which have students from about age 16. Nearly 34 per cent were from junior high schools and 9 per cent were from elementary schools, the report said. |

| Your parents always tell you that a solid education is the key to a successful future. For those of you that will be graduating from high school, the commitment (承诺) you made to complete your schooling has been fulfilled. Another few years in some college classroom just doesn't sound too attractive; so what are your choices? Let's see, Choice 1-You can live with your parents, leech on to them, and basically do nothing. Or Choice 2-You could get yourself a job. Of course, there are other choices, but for this little discussion, we'll just suppose that they aren't relevant. Okay, so Choice 2 is obviously going to be more productive. You're finally into the workplace and will be entering the real world. What would be a good place to start? Well, hopefully high school helped to give you some sort of an idea of what type of job you would like to enter. If not, then it would be a good idea to speak with an advisor or a person working in the field you may be interested in before you jump into a job that you won't like. Gaining knowledge on a particular line of work beforehand can be very effective by helping you in your search to find that job that you will enjoy doing. Another reason to research jobs and get some hands on work is related to the fact that it will also be helpful in buffing up your resume and providing you with some valued experience. Internships (见习) or volunteering are usually a good place to start. If you are ready to begin a job after high school, the main benefits will clearly be saving money from high college expense and happily making a living in your chosen jobs. From another point of view, jumping into the workplace is sometimes the only way to see for yourself if you are ready to work a 40-hour week yet. If you decide that full time work is not what you are ready for, then this may suggest that you should go back to school and get a degree. Besides, a college degree will usually equal higher wages. |
| 1. The underlined phrase "leech on to" in the first paragraph might mean "_____". |
|
[ ] |
| A. help B. depend on C. quarrel with D. take care of |

[ ] |
| A. Going to College B. Where Should I Start C. The Advantage of Starting Work Earlier D. Jumping into Work after High School |

|
[ ] |
| A. saving money B. making sure if you are really ready to work C. getting higher wages D. getting to know if you should go back to school |
| 4. Which of the following isn't mentioned in helping you find a suitable job? |
|
[ ] |
| A. Ideas about jobs gained in high schools. B. Experience in work. C. Advice from teachers and parents. D. Internships and volunteering. |
