| Three surfers rushed to save a man's life after he was left drifting on a notorious stretch of water. The men stayed with Greg Popple for 30 minutes and had to be rescued themselves by helicopter as the drama unfolded. The 45-year-old had floated out on a body board near Hutchwns Point at 8:30 am.He found himself in trouble about half-a-mile from the shore and dangerously close to rocks. Surfers Graig Evans, 31, Robert Miles, 19, and Owain Daviees, 23, were risking their own safety to keep him floating for 30 minutes. Luckily a passer- by noticed what was going on and raised the alarm. Porthcawl Coastguard, Porthcaw Lifeboat and an RAF helicopter all took part in the rescue. "The man who got into trouble was a body boarder-there was a big tide where he was," said Joe Missen. "Three other surfers spotted he was in difficulty and he was going down. They kept him afloat because he was in a state of shock and out of energy. If Mr. Popple was closer to the rocks, it could have been a lot worse, but they managed to keep him from harm". Mr. Missen's mum Alison, also part of the rescue team, said, "That part of the water is notorious for taking people out to nowhere". The three men had clocked off a night shift at Ford Motor Company shortly before the incident. "I headed straight down to the beach for a surf, when I saw him flailing (挥动). We just swam straight out to him and kept him calm while the help came". The four men were taken to the life boat house to recover, without injuries. |

| One day last September, as Britney Spears was about to board a flight to Los Angeles from London, a blue bottle fell out of her purse. She quickly put it back in, but not before the camera recorded the event. Neither Spears nor her spokesman was willing to comment on the contents of the bottle, but the next morning London's Daily Express published a page of pictures under the headline "EXCLUSIVE: POP PRINCESS SPOTTED AT AIRPORT WITH POT OF SLIMMING TABLETS. " Spears was apparently carrying Zantrex-3, one of the most popular weight-loss pills now sold in the United States. The pill, which is sold at about fifty dollars for a month's supply, contains a huge amount of caffeine, some green tea, and three common South American herbs that also act as stimulants (兴奋剂). It hit the U.S. market last March and has had a success that would be hard to overstate. Millions of bottles have been sold, and during the Christmas season it was displayed in the windows of the nation's largest chain of vitamin shops, G.N.C. (It is so highly sought after that many of the stores keep it in locked counters.) Zantrex-3 is also sold at CVS, Rite Aid, Wal-Mart, and other chains, and over the telephone and on the Internet. If you type "Zantrex" into Google, more than a hundred thousand pieces of information about it will appear. At any moment, there are scores of people sell it on eBay. Perhaps the most interesting thing about the success story of Zantrex-3, however, is that it is far from unique.There are hundreds of similar products on the market today, and they are bought by millions of Americans. And though Zantrex's producer makes some exciting statements ("the most advanced weight control compound (化合物) period"), so do the people who sell Stacker 2 and Anorex along with those who sell Carb Eliminator and Fat Eliminator. Almost all of these compounds suggest that they can help people lose weight and regain lost energy, and often without diet, exercise, or any other effort. |

| Humor is a most effective, yet frequently neglected, means of handling the difficult situations in our lives. It can be used for patching up differences, apologizing, saying "no," criticizing, getting the other fellow to do what you want without his losing face. For some jobs, it's the only tool that can succeed. It is a way to discuss subjects so sensitive that serious dialogue may start a quarrel. For example, many believe that comedians on television are doing more today for racial and religious tolerance than people in any other forum. Humor is often the best way to keep a small misunderstanding from escalating into a big deal. Recently a neighbor of mine had a squabble with his wife as she drove him to the airport. Airborne, he felt miserable, and he knew she did, too. Two hours after she returned home, she received a long-distance phone call. "person-to- person for Mrs. I.A. Pologize," intoned the operator. "That's spelled 'P' as in…". In a twinkling, the whole day changed from grim to lovely at both ends of the wire. An English hostess with a quick wit was giving a formal dinner for eight distinguished guests whom she hoped to enlist in a major charity drive. Austerity (节俭) was a fashion in England at the time, and she had asked her children to serve the meal. She knew that anything could happen-and it did, just as her son, with the studied concentration of a tightrope walker, brought in a large roast turkey. He successfully elbowed the swinging dining-room door, but the backswing threw the bird onto the dining-room floor. The boy stood rooted: guests stared at their plates. Moving only her head the hostess smiled at her son, "No harm, Daniel," she said. "Just pick him up and take him back to the kitchen"… she enunciated clearly so he would think about what she was saying …"and bring in the other one ." A wink and a one-liner instantly changed the dinner from a red-faced embarrassment to a conspiracy of fun. |

|
[ ] |
| A. Humor is the key to success in our work and our lives. B. Humor enables us to cope with difficult situation effectively. C. Humor is the only best way to criticize someone without losing his face. D. Humor makes fun of any difficult situations. |
| 2. Which of the following is NOT stated in the passage? |
|
[ ] |
| A. Comedians on TV are believed to have done a lot in making people more tolerant of racial and religious differences. B. To make up differences, humor is a most acceptable as well as a most effective means. C. People often turn to humorous ways when meeting with difficult situations because of its effectiveness. D. Only by adopting the means of humor can one succeed in some jobs. |
| 3. What caused the roast turkey to drop onto the floor? |
|
[ ] |
| A. The backward movement of the door. B. The son's hasty behavior. C. Someone happened to be at the door. D. The bird raised by the family. |
| 4. By saying "… and bring in the other one," the hostess meant that _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. the son had to cook another turkey for the guests B. she already had made more than one turkey ready for the dinner C. some other dish would be served instead of a turkey D. the son could serve the same turkey after it was cleaned |
| 5. What do you think would probably be the result if the hostess got angry and scolded the son? |
|
[ ] |

| 阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。 Scientists find that hard-working people live longer than average men and women. Career women are healthier than housewives. Evidence shows that the jobless are in poorer health than the job-holders. A study shows that whenever the employment rate increases by 1%, the death rate increase correspondingly (相应地) by 2%. All this comes down to one point: work is helpful to health. Why is work good for health? It is because work keeps people busy, away from loneliness. Researches show that people feel unhappy, worried and lonely when they have nothing to do. Instead, the happiest are those who are busy. Work serves as a bridge between man and reality. By work, people come into contact with each other. By collective activities, they find friendship and warmth. This is helpful to health. The loss of work means the loss of everything. It affects man spiritually and makes him likely to disease. Besides, work gives one a sense of fulfillment and a sense of achievement. Work makes one feel his value and status in society. When a writer finishes his writing or teacher sees his students grow, they are happy beyond words. [写作内容] 1）以约30个词概括短文的要点； 2）然后以约120个词就“努力学习，快乐生活”的主题发表看法，并包括如下要点： a）你赞同“努力学习也可以快乐生活”这一观点吗？为什么？ b）举例说明你的同学是如何努力学习并保持健康乐观的心态的？ c）简述如何才能做到努力学习并快乐生活？ [写作要求] （1）可以使用实例或其它论述方法支持你的论点，也可以参照阅读材料的内容，但不得直接引用原文 中的句子； （2）标题自定。 ______________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________ |
