| The Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park will open in Florida in 2009, and will provide attractions and rides based on places from the Harry Potter books. The novels' author JK Rowling has already given her blessing to the project. She said, "The plans I've seen look unbelievably exciting, and I don't think fans of the books or films will be disappointed." Stuart Craig, the man in charge of the design of the park, is an Oscar-winning production designer who worked on the Harry Potter films so it should be faithful (忠实的) to JK Rowling's vision. Stuart Craig said, "Our primary goal is to make sure this expenence is an authentic extension (原著的延伸) of Harry Potter's world as it is portrayed in the books and films." Visitors to the park will be able to explore some of their favourite places from the book such as the village of Hogsmeade, the Forbidden Forest and, of course, Hogwarts Castle, where Harry goes to school. Although fans can look forward to a holiday in the Harry Potter theme park,many will be saddened by the fact that the best-selling series is now drawing to a close. The final instalment (分期连载的一部分)in the series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, will be published on 21 July, and to mark the event JK Rowling is to read extracts (摘录) from the book to a select audience at midnight on the day of publication. Rawling has announced that two characters die in the final book, but has not revealed (透露) if Harry is one of them so fans will have to wait to find out the fate of their magical hero. |

| Want a glance of the future of health care? Take a look at the way the various networks of people about patient care are being connected to one another, and how this new connectivity is being exploited to deliver medicine to the patient-no matter where he or she may be. Online doctors offering advice based on normal symptoms (症状) are the most obvious example. Increasingly, however, remote diagnosis (远程诊断) will be based on real physiological data (生理数据) from the actual patient. A group from the University of Kentucky has shown that by using personal data assistance plus a mobile phone, it is perfectly practical to send a patient's important signs over the telephone. With this kind of equipment, the cry asking whether there was a doctor in the house could well be a thing of the past. Other medical technology groups are working on applying telemedicine to rural (countryside) care. And at least one team wants to use telemedicine as a tool for disaster need-especially after earthquakes. On the whole, the trend is towards providing global access to medical data and experts' opinions. But there is one problem. Bandwidth (宽带) is the limiting factor for sending complex (复杂的) medical pictures around the world-CT photos being one of the biggest bandwidth users. Communication satellites may be able to deal with the short-term needs during disasters such as earthquakes or wars. But medicine is looking towards both the second-generation Internet and third-generation mobile phones for the future of remote medical service. Doctors have met to discuss computer-based tools for medical diagnosis, training and telemedicine. With the falling price of broadband communications the new technologies should start a new time when telemedicine and the sharing of medical information, experts' opinions and diagnosis are common. |
| 1. The writer chiefly talks about _____. |
| A. the use of telemedicine B. the on-lined doctors C. medical care and treatment D. communication improvement |
| 2. The basis of remote diagnosis will be _____. |
| A. personal data assistance B. some words of a patient C. real physiological information D. medical pictures from the Internet |
| 3. Which of the following statements is true according to the text? |
| A. Patients don't need doctors in hospitals any more. B. It is impossible to send a patient's signs over the telephone. C. Many teams use telemedicine dealing with disasters now. D. Broadband communications will become cheaper in the future. |
| 4. The" problem" in the fourth paragraph refers to the fact that _____. |
| A. bandwidth isn't big enough to send complex medical pictures B. the second-generation of Internet has not become popular yet C. communication satellites can only deal with short-term needs D. there is not enough equipment for spreading the medical care |

| Wearing ties was originally the mark of Britain's most powerful classes, which made the tie itself a symbol of power and respect. And that led it to be adopted by a much larger tribe-the business tribe. You cannot wear a tie if you work with machinery. So wearing a tie became a sign that you were a man who used your brain to make a living,rather than your hands. It showed you were serious. It showed you were a professional. It meant that everyone who wanted a job in business had to wear one. It was just impossible to take se riously a man who didn't wear a piece of colored silk around his neck. This is how millions of people came to be wearing ties across the world. They are part of the uniform of business. "Ties offer a point of indifference," says John Milne, head of the British Guide of Tie Makers, "They give a chance to say something about their own personality." So if you happen to meet a man with a very brightly colored tie, there is a good chance that he is the office joker. There is also a good chance that he will be wearing brightly colored socks. Is there a future for ties? The signs are not promising. Tie wearing seems to be rare among the new bread of entrepreneurs (创业者) in the Internet and new technology industries. Many political leaders, including former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, now go without ties. This shows they are men of the people-but not the people wearing ties. Up until around 1960, it was common for men across the western world to wear hats as part of their business uniform. That changed with the election of John F. Kennedy to the presidency of the United States. Kennedy never wore a hat-in fact his nickname was "hatless Jack". Seeing that the most powerful man in the world did not have to wear a hat, millions of other men decided that they did not have to, either. Hats simply vanished across the Western world. Perhaps "tieless Tony" (former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair) will have the same effect as "hatless Jack". |
| 1. In Britain, ties were first used as a sign to show a person's _____. |
| A. personality B. social position C. wearing style D. favorite hobby |
| 2. In the business world,wearing a tie was necessary because _____. |

| 3. The underlined word "vanished" in this passage may mean _____. |
| A. sold B. washed C. appeared D. disappeared |

| A. Blair is the best leader in the world B. Kennedy is the best leader in the world C. millions of people will go to work without a tie D. people will wear hats instead of ties |

| A. If you are a professional,you can't wear a tie in Britain. B. The tie will become more fashionable and popular in the future. C. It was the election of John F. Kennedy to the presidency of the United States that changed the fact that wearing hats is part of their business uniform. D. Men across the westem world didn't wear hats as part ofitheir business uniform until around 1960. |

| The peoples of the Scandinavian countries share a lot in common for geographical reasons. But there are more of differenoes than similarities between them in all ways, including their drinking customs. A superficial (表面上的) observer might think that no one in Ndrway drinks wine. Meals eaten in restaurants or at home are usually washed down with tea, coffee or milk. Occasionally however, pale or dark ale (麦芽酒) is drunk. It can be ordered only in restaurants, where it is served only with food. Excellent quality beers are made in Jutland and the price is high. After beer, brandy is the favorite drink. Aalborg schnapps made from corn and potatoes, is famous for its high alcoholic content. For the Danes, brandy is also an aperitif (开胃酒) and is often drunk before meals. For a foreigner, the practice of surrounding toasts here can be uncomfortable. If he accepts one toast then he will have to accept all others, and it is difficult to drink six or seven glasses of brandy unless one is used to it. IAdies are fortunately excluded from these rounds and they drink only a grape juice with almost no alcoholic content. It is milk instead of liquor that is the principal (最重要的; 主要的) Finnish table drink. More milk is drunk by the Finnish people than in any other nation. In Finland the sale of alcohol is a state behavior and a check is kept on consumption by recording purchases on special card issued to all customers. As there is a difference between Swedish cooking in the south and that in the north because of the difference in soil and climate, their drinking habits are also different. In the north alcoholic beverages (烈 酒) are considered a necessity because they keep out the cold. While in the south people have milder drinks. But generally speaking, too much drinking is rare in Sweden, partly because it is against the law. Sale of spirits is controlled, the Swedes drink much coffee and tea. Many people still prefer the old- fashioned coffee served in large cups with cakes. Tea is so popular in Sweden that it has been called the Swedish national drink. |
| 1. According to the passage, which of the following is the Swedish national drink? |
| A. Tea. B. Brandy. C. Aperitif. D. Grape juice. |
| 2. Which of the following people like milk more than other drinks? |
| A. The German people. B. The American people. C. The Finish people. D. The French people. |
| 3. It can be inferred that if a foreigner isn't good at drinking brandy, he _____. |
| A. would like to invite ladies to have a party B. is unwilling to have a surrounding toast C. would like to accept others' toasts D. will often drink milk instead of brandy |

| UK workers are among the least stressed in Europe, a survey (调查) has suggested. Just 20% of British workers found their workplace "too stressful" compared with an average of 27% across Europe. Switzerland and Sweden suffered the highest levels of anxiety in their job (33%), the survey by global recruitment (人力) agency Kelly Services found. The survey of 19,000 people across 12 countries also found that male workers, older staff and those in steady jobs were under the greatest pressure. "A certain amount of stress is inevitable and can be a good thing when it pushes people beyond their comfort zone to work harder and smarter," said Steve Cirdler, marketing director of Kelly Services UK." But high levels of long stress are not good because they impact on productivity and lead to physical and emotional illness," he warned. The group also found stress increased significantly with age-rising from 19% in the 15-24 age to 23% for those aged 45 and above. The report suggested these workers could also be suffering from added stress at home and increased responsibility. Those working the longest hours found their job the most stressful: 18% for those working 30 hours or less, 34% for those clocking on for 41-50 hours, and 50% for those working longer than 51 hours. Kelly Services also uncovered a close link between stress and job satisfaction. For those workers who said they faced too much stress, just 28% were happy in their jobs, while for those with "just the right amount of stress" happiness levels jumped to 65%. The findings suggest staff enjoy jobs where they face challenges that push them to "learn new skills". |
| 1. The best title can be _____. |
| A. the survey by global recruitment agency B. work stress levels "lower" in UK C. the cause of work stress of workers in UK D. the relationship between the work stress and ages |
| 2. All of the followings are mentioned except _____. |
| A. British workers belong to the least stressed in Europe B. the relationship between the work stress and ages C. the average percent of workers who feel work stress all over Europe D. the work condition in UK |
| 3. The underlined word "inevitable" means _____. |
| A. unavoidable B. unacceptable C. incredible D. unreasonable |
| 4. What can you conclude from this passage? |
| A. Those who suffer the greatest pressure are male workers, older staff and in steady jobs. B. The longer the work time is, the less stress the workers have. C. The work stress has both advantages and disadvantages. D. The higher stress, the happier work. |

| Every country has many good people who help to take care of others. Some high school and college students in the United States often spend many hours as volunteers in a hospital, orphanage (孤儿院) or home for the aged. They read books to the people who must be in these places or they just visit them and play games or listen to their problems. Other young people volunteer to collect food or money, or they work in the homes of people who are sick or old. They paint, clean or repair their houses, do their shopping or mow their lawns. There is a group of volunteers to meet almost every need. For boys who no longer have fathers there is an organization called Big Brothers. College students and other men take these boys to baseball games or on fishing trips and help them to know about things that boys usually learn from their fathers. Every city has a number of clubs where boys and girls can play games or leam to make crafts. Some of these clubs have movies or organize short tnps to the mountains, the beaches, museums or other places of interest.
