| Jordan Makes Basketball Hall of Fame Last Monday, the former Chicago Bulls great was elected to the 2009 Basketball Hall of' Fame class, adding another honor to his long list of accomplishments. With incredible acrobatic (特技的) moves and slam dunks (灌篮), Jordan was a 14-time NBA All-Star, a five-time NBA finals Most Valuable Player and the key figure on the 1992 US Olympic gold medal "Dream" Team. Jordan retired twice during his 15-year career, and finished with 32 292 points, the third-highest total in NBA history behind Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Karl Malone. His career average of 30.12 points per game is the best in the league's history. Although his career boasts (拥有) many glories, Jordan said entering the ball was what he never imagined. "I don't like being up here for the Hall of Fame, because at that time, your basketball career is completely over."Jordan said during a news conference. "Iwas hoping this day was coming in 20 more years, or that I'd actually go in when I'm dead and done." According to the Chicago Tribune, as Jordan accepted a Hall of Fame Jersey (运动衣), he turned to his former competitors David Robinson and John Stockton, who were also among the class of 2009, and threatened another comeback. "Every time I see these guys, I want to put my shorts on," said Jordan, 46, whose age has decreased everything but his desire. His father once said that passion was what made his son special. From the moment he started playing games, Michael had to win. Once, Jordan traveled everywhere and anywhere to feed that competitive urge. "He doesn't have a gambling problem" his father said, "What he does have is a competition problem. He was born with that. The person he tries to outdo (超过) most of the time is himself." |

| Many people say that the United States is a paradise for the children, a struggling field for the youth and a tomb for the aged. However, the situation is quite different in Australia. Different people have their own ways for enjoyment and their own worlds of pastime. Most children often work hard in school since they have to face various exams. After school they do not want to confine themselves to books any more. Instead, they put aside their schoolbags at home and sneak quickly to some quiet street corners for their games. Bigger children like to shoulder their large kites to some steep cliffs, and jump to fly in the sky with their kites. Some old people often get up early in the morning and go to parks to do newspaper reading. After breakfast, they come to horse races, dog races and sometimes car races for betting. If he wins, he will feed himself a good dinner. In the evening, they stay at home, watching TV sometimes with grandchildren. Some of the aged also enjoy fishing and gardening. Young people prefer to go outing for holidays. At the weekends, they go to the seashore for swimming or to the forest for hunting and camping, or mountainous areas for picnicking. Then in the evenings on Sundays, they start their long bumper-to-bumper drive back on the highways. Nobody seems in a hurry. The Australian government also encourages its people to have more relaxation after work. Sometimes, certain kind of financial help is distributed to people going on holidays and public holidays are purposely set on Monday or Friday so that Australians may have a longer weekend for enjoyment. They think people can work better only after they get a full relaxation. And it grows out of this idea that relaxation comes the top priority (优先权) for enjoyment in Australia. |
| 1. According to many people's opinion, which of the following is NOT true? |
|
[ ] |
| A. All people in the US live a desirable life. B. The competition among American young people is fierce. C. The life of the American old people is very terrible. D. Children in America are extremely happy. |
| 2. Australia is different from America because Australia _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. is not a paradise for children B. is not a struggling field for the youth C. is not a tomb for the aged D. has different worlds for different people |
| 3. There is an idea of enjoyment priority in Australia because _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. enjoyment is more important than other aspects of life B. a full relaxation will make people work better C. enjoyment can make people happy D. Australian people are lazy |
| 4. The underlined part can be replaced by "_____". |

| At age 61, identical twins Jeanne and Susan no longer look exactly alike. Susan smoked for many years and is an admitted sun worshipper, whose habits Jeanne does not share. A new study of twins suggests you can blame those coarse (粗糙的) wrinkles, brown or pink spots on too much time in the sun, smoking, and being overweight. Because twins share genes, but may have different exposures to environmental factors, studying twins allows an "opportunity to control for genetic susceptibility (易受影响性)," Dr. Elma D. Baron, at Case Western Reserve School of Medicine in Cleveland, Ohio, and his colleagues explain in the Jatest issue of Archives of Dermatology. Their analysis of environmental skin-damaging factors in 65 pairs of twins hints that skin aging is related more to environment and lifestyle than genetic factors. But when it comes to skin cancer, the researchers say their findings support previous reports that both environment and genes affect skin cancer risk. Baron's team examined facial skin of 130 twins, 18 to 77 years old, who lived mostly in the northern Midwest and Eastern regions of the US, who were attending the Twins Days Festivalin Ohio in August 2002. At this time, each of the twins also separately reported how their skin burned or tanned (晒黑) without sunscreen, their weight, and their history of skin cancer, smoking, and alcohol drinking. The study group consisted of 52 fraternal (异卵双生) and 10 identical twin pairs, plus 3 pairs who were unsure of their twin status. From these data, the researchers noted strong ties, outside of twin status, between smoking, older age, and being overweight, and having facial skin with evidence of environmental damage. By contrast, sunscreen use and drinking alcohol appeared related to less skin damage. Baron and his colleagues say the current findings, which highlight ties between facial aging and potentially avoidable environmental factors-such as smoking, being overweight, and unprotected overexposure to the sun's damaging rays-may help motivate people to minimize these risky behaviors. |
| 1. Which of the following is true according to the passage? |
|
[ ] |
| A. Jeanne and Susan share all the habits including smoking. B. Skin aging is related more to environment and lifestyle than genetic factors. C. Only identical twins can take part in the research. D. Sunscreen use cannot help people have less skin damage. |
| 2. Why did Baron's team do the research on twins? |
|
[ ] |
| A. Twins are more likely to suffer from skin cancer. B. It may guarantee the research is not influenced by genetic factors. C. It gives others an opportunity to control twins' genes. D. It helps find twins are exposed to different environments. |
| 3. What can you infer from the last paragraph? |
|
[ ] |
| A. This research makes people aware of dangerous lifestyles. B. The environmental factors are unavoidable. C. Being exposed to the sun is absolutely damaging. D. There is little relationship between skin aging and environment. |
| 4. The passage is mainly concerned with _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. skin cancer and environment B. identical twins research C. aging skin and environmental factors D. genes and lifestyles |

| Once, a man got on a bus to New York Because he did not want to pay, so he hid in the toilet. But a passenger saw her. She tapped the person in front of her on the shoulder and say, "There's a bum (流浪汉) in toilet. Tell the bus driver." The message was passing on from person to person. But somewhere along the way, it was changed. The bus driver told that there was a bomb in the toilet. He immediate stopped the bus and telephoned the police. When the police came, they told the passengers to get off the bus or stay far away. Then they closed the highway. As a result, a traffic jam of 15 mile long was soon caused. In the help of a dog, the police searched for two hours. Of course they found no bomb. _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ |
