         WASHINGTON-Thanks to strong economic growth and a growing middle class, China has surpassed
    India for the first time this decade to become the country that sends the most students to the United States,
    according to the annual report the Institute of International Education (IIE) released (发布) on Monday.
         The number of Chinese students in the US has increased by 30 percent during the 2009-2010 academic
    year to about 128,000, or 18.3 percent of the total international student population in the country, the report
    said.
         "The Chinese economy is booming. The growing middle class are able to send their children abroad for
    higher education as many families have only one child and they use all their resources on that child." said
    Peggy Blumenthal, executive vice-president of IIE.
         Another reason is that many Chinese parents are attracted by the US higher education system. "American
    undergraduate education is really appealing Chinese parents who are thinking about what is needed for China
    in the future and how their son or daughter can be employable," Blumenthal said.
         Chinese overseas study agencies expect more Chinese students to go to the US next year, partly due to
    the weakened US dollar and more flexible visa policies.
         The study and living costs for an undergraduate Chinese student in the US every year are roughly about
    250,000 yuan ($37,000), and the depreciation of the US dollar may save about 10 percent of the cost, said
    Liu Qingsheng, a senior manager with Shinyway International, a Beijing-based overseas study consulting
    company.
         A more flexible visa policy, which the US started to adopt in 2008, is another major attraction, he said.
    1. According to the passage, we know during the 2009-2010 academic year, _____.
    A. the number of India students in the US has increased
    B. as many as 128,000 international students study in the US
    C. the number of the Chinese students in the US make first
    D. more than 18.3 percent of Chinese students study abroad
    2. More Chinese students go to US universities because of the following reasons except _____.
    A. a more flexible visa policy
    B. the US higher education system
    C. a proving middle class in China
    D. strong economic growth in the US
    3. Which of the following can best replace deprecation in the passage?
    A. rise in quantity
    B. decrease in quality
    C. fall in value
    D. increase in weight

         You know the drill when it comes to losing weight-take in fewer calories, burn more calories. But you
    also know that most diets and quick weight-loss plans have about as much substance as a politician's campaign
    pledges. You're better off finding several simple things you can do on a daily basis-along with following the
    cardinal rules of eating more vegetables and less fat and getting more physical activity. Together, they should
    send the scale numbers in the right direction: down.
         1. Treat high-calorie foods as jewels in the crown. Make a spoonful of ice cream the jewel and a bowl
    of fruit the crown. Balance a little cheese with a lot of salad.
         2. Eat five or six small meals or snacks a day instead of three large meals. A 1999 South African
    study found that when men ate parts of their morning meal at intervals over five hours, they consumed almost
    30 percent fewer calories at lunch than when they ate a single breakfast. Other studies show that even if you
    eat the same number of calories distributed this way, your body releases less insulin, which keeps blood sugar
    steady and helps control hunger.
         3. Walk for 45 minutes a day. The reason we're suggesting 45 minutes instead of the typical 30 is that a
    Duke University study found that while 30 minutes of daily walking is enough to prevent weight gain in most
    relatively sedentary (久坐的) people, exercise beyond 30 minutes results in weight and fat loss. Burning an
    additional 300 calories a day with three miles of brisk walking (45 minutes should do it) could help you lose 30
    pounds in a year without even changing how much you're eating.
         4. Bring the color blue into your life more often. There's a good reason you won't see many fast-food
    restaurants decorated in blue; Believe it or not, the color blue functions as an appetite suppressant. So serve up
    dinner on blue plates, dress in blue while you eat, and cover your table with a blue tablecloth. Conversely, avoid
    red, yellow, and orange in your dining areas. Studies find they encourage eating.
         5. Clean your closet of the "fat" clothes. Once you've reached your target weight, throw out or give
    away every piece of clothing that doesn't fit. The idea of having to buy a whole new wardrobe if you gain the
    weight back will serve as a strong incentive to maintain your new figure.
    1. The passage aims to _____.
    A. advertise weight-loss products
    B. give advice on losing weight
    C. persuade you to go on a diet
    D. talk you into giving away clothing that doesn't fit
    2. According to the passage, which of the following is true?
    A. ice cream can be made into the jewel.
    B. the color blue encourages eating.
    C. many fast-food restaurants are decorated in blue.
    D. Eating five or six small meals helps reduce weight.
    3. We can infer from the passage that _____.
    A. cheese is high in calories
    B. a big meal helps control hunger
    C. a 45-minute walk a day discourages your appetite for food
    D. buying new clothes can reduce weight
    4. The author agrees _____.
    A. quick weight-loss plans work well
    B. people should cat more fruit to lose weight
    C. going on a diet is they only way to lose weight
    D. restaurants should serve food with blue plates

         A million motorists leave their cars filled up with petrol and with the keys in the ignition (点燃) every day.
    The cars are sitting in petrol stations while drivers pay for their fuel. The Automobile Association(A.A) has
    discovered that cars are left unattended for an average three minutes and sometimes longer as drivers buy
    drinks, sweets, cigarettes and other consumer items.With payment of credit cards becoming more and more
    common, it is not unusual for a driver to be out of his car for as long as six minutes, providing the car theft
    with a golden opportunity.
         For more than ten years there has been a big rise in car crime than in most other types of crime. An average
    of more than two cars a minute are broken into or stolen in the UK. Car crime accounts for almost a third of
    all reported offenses with no signs that the trend is slowing down.
         Although there are highly professional criminal involved in car theft, almost 90 percent of car theft is
    committed by the opportunists. Amateur thieves are aided by our own carelessness. The A.A. recommends
    locking up whenever you leave the car and for however short a period. A partially open sunroof or window is
    a further come-on (诱惑) to thieves.
         There are many other traps to avoid. The A.A. has fond little awareness among drivers about safe parking.
    Most motorists questioned made no efforts to avoid parking in quiet spots-just the places thieves love. The A.A.
    advises drives to park in places with people around because thieves don't like audiences.
    1. We can learn from the passage that _____.
    A. there is an increasingly large number of car crimes in the UK
    B. about 20% of all reported crimes involve cars
    C. car crime is decreasing gradually
    D. the A. A. didn't pay much attention to car crimes

    D. careless criminals who tend to fail in their crimes
    3. The A. A, suggests that the car owners should _____.
    A. always lock up their cars when they leave

    C. avoid parking in crowded places
    D. keep some people around to watch their cars
    4. Paragraph Three mainly talks about _____.

         Between the innocence of babyhood and the seriousness of manhood we find a delightful creature called
    a "boy" Boys are found everywhere-on top of, under, inside of, climbing on, swinging from, running around,
    or jumping to. Mothers spoil them, little girls hate them, older sisters and brothers love them, and God protects
    them. A boy is TRUTH with dirt on its face, BEAUTY with a cut on its finger, WISDOM with chocolate in its
    hair, and the HOPE of the future with a snake in its pocket.
         When you are busy, a boy is a trouble - maker and a noise. When you want him to make a good impression,
    his brain turns to jelly or else he becomes a wild creature bent on destroying the world and himself with it.
         A boy is a mixture-he has the stomach of a horse, the digestion (消化力) of stones and sand, the energy of
    an atomic bomb, the curiosity of a cat, the imagination of a superman, the shyness of a sweet girl, the brave
    nature of a bull, the violence of a firecracker, but when you ask him to make something, he has five thumbs (拇
    指) on each hand.

         He likes ice cream, knives, saws, Christmas, comic books, woods, water (in its natural habitat), large
    animals, Dad, trains, Saturday mornings, and fire engines. He is not much for Sunday schools, company,
    schools, books without pictures, music lessons, neckties, barbers, girls, overcoats, adults, or bedtime.
         A boy is a magical creature-he is your headache but when you come home at night with only shattered
    pieces of your hopes and dreams, he can mend them like new with two magic words, "Hi, Dad!"
    1. The whole passage is in a tone of _____.
    A. humor and affection
    B. respect and harmony
    C. ambition and expectation
    D. confidence and imagination
    2. Could you figure out the meaning of the underlined sentence?
    A. He has altogether five fingers.
    B. He is slow, foolish and clumsy.
    C. He becomes clever and smart.
    D. He cuts his hand with a knife.
    3. According to the writer, boys appreciate everything in the following EXCEPT _____.
    A. ice cream
    B. comic books
    C. Saturday mornings
    D. Sunday schools
    4. What does the writer feel about boys?
    A. He feels curious about their noise.
    B. He is fed up with these creatures.
    C. He is amazed by their naughtiness.
    D. He feels unsafe staying with them.

         1_____. "We have a difficult time controlling our shopping behavior," says Alexander Chemev, a associate
    professor of Northwestern University in Evanston. "It's influenced by lots of forces we usually don't take into
    account." "2_____"
         We should take account of some of them below.
         The five senses
         What you see; Retailers (零售商) work to present their merchandise (商品) in the best light. "They use
    lighting to make something that looks good look even better," Underhill says, "3_____"
         What you hear: If you like the music a store plays, chances are that you'll like the products it sells-and vice
    versa, 4_____ That's a because customers respond to the tempo(节奏) of a store's music, says Deborah
    McInnis, professor of the USC Marshall School of Business. "Studies show that the slower the tempo, the
    slower people walk through the store, so the more they put in their baskets and the more they end up buying.
    If the tempo is faster, people walk faster too. They don't stop to look so much, and they don't buy as much."
         What you smell and taste: The sweet arose of roasting chestnuts. Free samples of Christmas cookies. Like
    music, those are effective ways of inviting customers into a store and making them feel welcome.
         What you touch: Signs encouraging customers to touch the merchandise are far less common in stores
    than signs imploring them not to. "Touching an object can make you willing to pay more for it. 5_____" says
    Joann Peck, an associate professor of Wisconsin School of Business.
    A. But the rule of thumb should probably be, "If you don't want it, don't touch it."
    B. Stores' music, lighting, 'deals' and pricing ranges can all influence what you buy.
    C. You may be willing to pay more for a cashmere sweater just because you like how it feels.
    D. Retailers often identify potential"impulse buys" and put them close to the checkout stand.
    E. Just as music can attract people into a store, it can help to keep them there, or hurry them out the door.
    F. They try to engage you with all five senses.
    G. Everything tends to look better in the store than it does when you get it home.

    As your friend, I'd like to share with you with my opinions on surfing the Internet.
