| There are only 12 shopping days until Christmas, and the British public is going present-shopping crazy. But some parents might have left it too late to buy the present their child really wants for Christmas. Every year there seems to be a certain craze which sweeps across Britain, whether through clever marketing or peer pressure (同龄人压力), so that practically every child in the country wants the same thing for Christmas. Of course, with thousands of parents trying to make their child's Christmas, it's quite easy for the most popular presents to get sold out before everyone can buy one. This leads to parents going to extraordinary lengths to find the desired gift. In past years, the most favoured toys have included Tracy Island, from the "Thunderbirds" TV series, and Buzz Lightyear, from the "Toy Story" film. This years must-have present is the Nintendo Wii, an indication that British children are becoming more and more technologically savvy (有见识的). Other presents which are expected to top Christmas wish-lists this year are several toys related to TV programmes, such as popular science-fiction series "Doctor Who", and pre-school sense "In the Night Garden", as well as the main character from the "Transformers" movie. As parents desperately (拼命地) search shops and online retailers (零售商) for the gifts their children want, some people are cashing in. Those who predicted the trends bought some of the top presents earlier in the year, and can now sell them for great profits online. Special stock-check websites have been set up to warn parents as soon as a certain item becomes available anywhere. But with so many people signed up it'll still be a race against time to buy the toys before they sell out again. Some children will inevitably (不可避免地) be disappointed on Christmas morning, but let's hope that the chocolates, Christmas dinner and the many other presents will make up for it. |

[ ] |
| A. Come in quickly. B. Get to buy presents. C. Change presents into money. D. Hurry to make money. |

| How to Build a Windbreak to Protect Soil Farmers use different kinds of soil conservation methods to protect their land against damage from farming and the forces of nature. One important form of soil conservation is the use of windbreaks. Windbreaks are barriers (栅栏) formed by trees and other plants with many leaves. Farmers plant them in lines around their fields. Windbreaks stop the wind from blowing soil away. They also keep the wind from destroying or damaging crops. They are very important for growing grains, such as wheat. There have been studies done on windbreaks. Studies in parts of West Africa, for example, found that grain harvests can be twenty percent higher in fields protected by windbreaks. This was compared to fields without such protection. Windbreaks can help protect a farmer's land. However, windbreaks seem to work best when they allow a little wind to pass through. If the wall of trees and plants blocks the wind completely, then violent air motions will take place close to the ground. These motions cause the soil to lift up into the air where it will be blown away. For this reason, a windbreak is best if it has only sixty to eighty percent of the trees and plants needed to make a solid line. An easy rule to remember is that windbreaks can protect areas up to ten times the height of the tallest trees in the windbreak. There should be at least two lines in each windbreak. One line should be large trees. The second line, right next to it, can be shorter trees and other plants with leaves. Locally grown trees and plants are best for windbreaks. Windbreaks not only protect land and crops from the wind. They can also provide wood products. These include wood for fuel and longer pieces for making fences. |

| 3. According to the passage what is a best windbreak? |
|
[ ] |
| A. One with no breaks between trees or plants. B. One with plants which have many leaves. C. One with certain breaks between trees and plants. D. One with as many trees or plants as possible. |

| Canberra, the capital of Australia, lies in the southeast of the country. From this city, it is 240 kilometres to Sydney, and over twice to Melbourne. Sydney faces the Pacific Ocean, and Melboume is close to the Bass Strait through which ships from Sydney can enter the Indian Ocean. When the Federal government of Australia was formed in 1901, no one knew where Australia's capital would be. The two cities of Sydney and Melbourne both wanted the honour. Instead, the founding fathers chose a piece of land between the two cities for the new capital. The govemment would build a new city called Canberra as the country's capital. In 1991, the govemment invited the world leading architects (建筑师) to enter designs for Canberra in a contest (比赛). An architect from Chicago (芝加哥) named Walter Griffin won. The government decided to build Canberra according to his plan. Men started to work on Canberra in 1913. Twenty-four years later, the city was finished. But the government moved to this new city ten years before it was completed. At one time, almost everyone in Canberra worked for the government. However, the city today has become a centre of education and a favorite place for tourists (观光者). Now people can hold a govemment job, or they can work in business. They also make a living by teaching or meeting the needs of tourists. People find life in Canberra very relaxing and pleasant. The crty is surrounded by beautiful mountains where people can ski (滑雪). There is a large man-made lake lined with beaches (海滩) and parks in the centre of Canberra. Canberra is now Australia's largest island city. Many people living there have come from other cities in Australia and from other lands. They have come to Canberra to work. Some have come to get away from the busier way of life found in many other cities. |

| Believe it or not, America's favorite snack food is the potato chip. There is a story behind how it was first made. One might think that something genius thought up the first potato chips, but it didn't happen that way. The Moon Lake Restaurant was a well-known restaurant in New York in 1853. Its menu included French-fried potatoes: a popular food recipe brought back from France by Thomas Jefferson. These were thickly cut potatoes, fried until golden brown and crisp in the outside. One evening a guest in the dining hall felt that his potatoes were too thick and sent them back to the kitchen. The cook sliced some potatoes thinner than before and prepared them for the complaining guest. He was still not satisfied and sent them back again! By this time the cook was angry and decided to do exactly what the dinner guest wanted: slice the potatoes as thin as possible. Then they would be so crisp that the diner wouldn't be able to use his fork to eat them. When the paper thin browned potatoes arrived the dinner was pleased. He was so happy with them that other guests started ordering the new potatoes. The cook's plan to stop the dinner guest from complaining did not turn out as he had planned. Soon Saratoga Chips appeared on the menu and became so popular that people wanted to take some home. The restaurant started selling small packages of the potato chips. A few years later they were selling all over the United States. But because the potatoes had to be peeled by hand, it was a time- consuming chore and potato ships were often out of stock. In the 1920s a mechanical potato peeler was invented and soon there were potato chips in abundance. They gradually spread all over the world, and have remained popular ever since. |

| Having one of those days or weeks when everything seems to annoy you? Even if you do nothing about it, your bad mood will probably go away after some time. But with a little effort, you can forget it much faster, often within a day or two. ●Walk it off Exercise is the most popular way to remove bad mood. A person who's in a bad mood has low energy and high tension. Taking a fast ten-minute walk, or taking some quick exercise can do wonders towards changing that bad mood. ●Tune it out Listening to your favorite music for a while can also make ten- sions go away quickly, because music starts associations with past positive experiences we've had. ●Give yourself a pep talk Stop and listen to what's on your mind. Bad moods are often started by too many negative thoughts. Write them all down on paper, including the pessimistic messages you've been giving yourself and then give optimistic answers. ●Avoid things that won't improve your mood TV may not help much you need to increase your energy level and stimulate your mind. And before you reach for that piece of cake and coffee, think about how _____ are linked. Sugar and caffeine contribute to depressed moods while carbohydrates, such as potatoes and pasta (意大利面食), produce a calming effect in people who have a desire for them. |
