| We often talk about ourselves as if we have permanent genetic defects (缺陷) that can never be changed. "I'm impatient.""I'm always behind." "I always put things 1 !" You've surely heard them. Maybe you've used them to describe 2 . These comments may come from stories about us that have been 3 for years-often from 4 childhood. These stories may have no 5 in fact. But they can set low expectations for us. As a child, my mother said to me,"Marshall, you have no mechanical (操作机械的) skills, and you will never have any mechanical skills for the rest of your life." How did these expectations 6 my development? I was never 7 to work on cars or be around 8 . When I was 18, I took the US Army's Mechanical Aptitude Test. My scores were in the bottom for the entire nation! Six years later, 9 , I was at California University, working on my doctor's degree. One of my professors, Dr. Bob Tannbaum, asked me to write down things I did well and things I couldn't do. On the positive side, I 10 down, "research, writing, analysis, and speaking." On the 11 side, I wrote, "I have no mechanical skills." Bob asked me how I knew I had no mechanical skills. I explained my life 12 and told him about my 13 performance on the Army test. Bob then asked," 14 is it that you can solve 15 mathematical problems, but you can't solve simple mechanical problems?" Suddenly I realized that I didn't 16 from some sort of genetic defect. I was just living out expectations that I had chosen to 17 . At that point, it wasn't just my family and friends who had been 18 my belief that I was mechanically hopeless. And it wasn't just the Army test, either. I was the one who kept telling myself,"You can't do this!" I realized that as long as I kept saying that, it was going to remain true. 19 , if we don't treat ourselves as if we have incurable genetic defects, we can do well in almost 20 we choose. | ||||

| We have met the enemy and he is ours. We bought him at a pet shop. When monkey-pox, a disease usually found in the African rain forest suddenly turns up in children in the American Midwest. It's hard not to wonder of the disease that comes from foreign animals is homing in on human beings. "Most of the infections (感染) we think of as human infections started in other animals." says Stephen Morse, director of the Center for Public Health Preparedness at Columbia University. It's not just that we're going to where the animals are; we're also bringing them closer to us. Popular foreign pets have brought a whole new disease to this country. A strange illness killed Isaksen's pets and she now thinks that keeping foreign pets is a bad idea. "I don't think it's fair to have them as pets when we have such a limited knowledge of them." says Isaksen. "Laws allowing these animals to be brought in from deep forest areas without stricter control need changing." says Peter Schantz. Monkey-pox may be the wake-up call. Researchers believe infected animals may infect their owners. We know very little about these new diseases. A new bug (病毒) may be kind at first. But it may develop into something harmful (有害的). Monkey-pox doesn't look a major infectious disease. But it is not impossible to pass the disease from person to person. |
| 1. We learn from Paragraph l that the pet sold at the shop may _____. |

| A. They attack human beings. B. We need to study native animals. C. They can't live out of the rain forest. D. We do not know much about them yet. |
| 3. What does she phrase "the wake-up call" in paragraph 3 most probably mean? |

| A. may have to fight against more new diseases B. may easily get infected by diseases from dogs C. should not be allowed to have pets D. should stop buying pests from Africa |

A. we should have laws to stop having pets at home |

| Since weeks ago,China has been involved a worldwide A/H 1 N 1 flu that has already killed more than 80 people in the middle of May,2009,in Mexico and has turned into a global pandemic. The central government has asked people entering China from the virus-hit countries to report flu-like symptoms (症状)to the authorities. In an emergency notice issued on Saturday night,the country's top quality watchdog ordered the Customs to check passengers' temperature,too.

Passengers flying in from Mexico and other A/H1N1 flu-hit countries are being monitored closely,"he said.

| When it comes to friends, I desire those who will share my happiness, who possess wings of their own and who will fly with me. I seek friends whose qualities illuminate (照亮) me and train me up for love. It is for these people that I reserve the glowing hours, too good not to share. When I was in the eighth grade, I had a friend. We were shy and "too serious" about our studies when it was becoming fashionable with our classmates to learn acceptable social behaviors. We said little at school, but she would come to my house and we would sit down with pencils and paper, and one of us would say:" Let's start with a train whistle today." We would sit quietly together and write separate poems or stories that grew out of a train whistle. Then we would read them aloud. At the end of that school year, we, too, were changing into social creatures and the stories and poems stopped. When I lived for a time in London, I had a friend, He was in despair (失望) and I was in despair. But our friendship was based on the idea in each of us that we would be sorry later if we did not explore this great city because we had felt bad at the time. We met every Sunday for five weeks and found many excellent things. We walked until our despairs disappeared and then we parted. We gave London to each other. For almost four years I have had remarkable friend whose imagination illuminates mine. We write long letters in which we often discover our strangest selves. Each of us appears, sometimes in a funny way, in the other's dreams. She and I agree that, at certain times, we seem to be parts of the same mind. In my most interesting moments, I often think:"Yes, I must tell…."We have never met. It is such comforting companions I wish to keep. One bright hour with their kind is worth more to me than the lifetime services of a psychologist (心理学家), who will only fill up the healing (愈合的) silence necessary to those darkest moments in which I would rather be my own best friend. |
| 1. In the eighth grade, what the author did before developing proper social behavior was to _____. |
| A. become serious about her study B. go to her friend's house regularly C. learn from her classmates at school D. share poems and stories with her friend |

| A. seek professional help B. be left alone C. stay with her best friend D. break the silence |
| 5. What is the best title for the passage? |

| In Western countries people have been using the installment plan since the first half of the twentieth century. Today, a large number of families in Great Britain buy furniture, household goods and cars by installments. In the U. S., the figure is much higher than in Great Britain, and people there spend over 10 percent of their income on the installment plan. The price of an article bought on installments is always higher than the price that would be paid by cash. There is a charge for interest. The buyer pays one quarter or one third of the price as a down payment when the goods are delivered to him. He then makes regular payments, weekly or monthly, until the full price is paid up. The legal ownership of the goods remains with the seller until the final payment has been made. Installment buying has advantages and disadvantages. It can help couples with small incomes to furnish their homes and start housekeeping. It increases the demand for goods, and in this way helps business and employment. There is, however, the danger that when business is bad, installment buying may end suddenly, making business much worse. This may result in a great increase in unemployment. If the people on the installment plan lose their jobs, they will probably not be able to make their payments. If great numbers of people are not able to pay their installment debts there is a possibility that businessmen cannot collect their debts and will therefore lose money. If businessmen lose money or fail to make a satisfactory profit, it becomes more likely to have a depression. This is why, in some countries, the government controls the installment plan by fixing the amount of the down payment and installments to discourage people from buying more than they can pay for on the installment plan. |
| 1. Which of the following is NOT true about the installment plan? |
| A. A lot of British families use the installment plan. B. More than 10 percent American families buy things on installments. C. Americans depend more on installment than British people do. D. Americans spend one tenth of their income on installment buying. |
| 2. Goods bought on installments are more expensive than goods bought by cash because _____. |
| A. the buyer has to pay extra money as interest B. the delivery of the goods charges extra money C. the buyer has to pay a down payment D. the service offered by installment plan charged extra money |
| 3. What will happen to a buyer if he fails to make the full payment for an item bought on installments? |
| A. He might lose his job. B. He will stop owning the item he has bought. C. He will have to sell what he has bought. D. He will go into debt. |
| 4. The advantage of installment buying might include all the following EXCEPT that _____. |
| A. purchasing power is strengthened B. employment might be increased C. people develop a good habit of saving money D. young couples are able to furnish their homes |
| 5. In some countries, the governments control the installment plan to _____. |
| A. increase employment B. avoid depressions C. ensure that businesses make good profits D. ensure that people can pay for what hey buy |

| Called "The School of the Future" and created with help from software giant Microsoft, a recently- opened public school in Philadelphia, US, is believed to be the first in the world to combine innovation teaching methods with the latest technology. At this school, students work on wireless laptops, teachers eschew traditional subjects for real-world topics and parents can track their children‘s work on the Internet. The school, which costs the school district $63 million to build, is free and has no entrance exams. The 170 ninth-grade students were selected at random from l,500 applicants. Philadelphia School District Chief Executive Paul Vallas told students they would be observed by other schools around the world. "You have become instant role models," Vallas said. "People are going to be watching you." Students still sit in classrooms, but lessons rely heavily on information found on the Internet and on interactive software. Students will be allowed to learn at their own pace. Homework is done on the computer and sent to the teacher for grading and parents can access to the school‘s network to read the teacher’s feedback on their children’s progress. Traditional education fails to teach students the skills of problem-solving, critical thinking and effective communication, which they need to succeed in the 21st century, Principal Shirley Grover said in an interview. "It‘s not about memorizing certain algebraic equations (代数方程式) and then presenting them in 8 test," Grover said. "It’s about thinking how maths might be used to solve a quality of water problem or how it might be used to determine whether or not we are safe in Philadelphia from the bird flu." David Terry, 14, said he was hoping to "turn over a new leaf" after discipline problems in his previous school left him with an "average to really bad" academic record. "This is a great opportunity for me," he said. "In other schools, I would not _____." |
