| Every few months, thousands upon thousands of people choose to leave work, skip school, and come together to celebrate... The people come in all 1 and sizes throughout the world. What do they 2 ? It doesn't matter. The description above is related to 3 and celebrations all over the world; indeed, it may be a universal way of looking at almost any celebration. Though the number of people joining in may 4 , the spirit of the event is 5 to stay the same. The reason is that we 6 countless hours celebrating birthdays and other special days to build 7 between one another. Holidays and celebrations bring people 8 . When people celebrate something, they ignore prejudice and 9 their shyness; celebrations bring people together 10 of who those people are. 11 on serious occasions where we remember past tragedies or the 12 of a loved one, friends and family-and sometimes even strangers -- come together to remember and 13 one another. Different celebrations involve different emotions (情感) and qualities, from 14 to dancing. The important thing is not that we are throwing a party, but rather that we are coming together as one 15 and one world, to celebrate together. Even in ancient 16 , celebrations were used to bring people together. The Ancient Greeks had the Olympics, which helped bring 17 among warring countries and states. The Greeks actually laid down all of their arms during the games! In an ancient era (纪元) where war was extremely common, it is 18 to see the power that the Olympics had on warring parties! Indeed, such is the case today as well. All such holidays make us forget the troubles we 19 and allow us to be happy and experience the peace that is required to improve and help the world. If only we held 20 every day... | ||||

| Jack Ma is the founder and CEO of Alibaba Group. He was one of the 100 global "future leaders" of the 2001 World Economic Forum and the "commercial leader" of 2001 elected by US Commercial Association of Asia. Born in the city of Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, Ma graduated from Hangzhou Teachers Institute in 1988 (he failed the entrance exam twice) and became a lecturer in English and International Trade. In 1985, a one-month visit to see an Australian pen pal he had met in Hangzhou changed his life. "Everything I'd learned in China was that China was the richest country in the world," he said. "When I arrived in Australia, I realized it's totally different. I started to think you have to use your own mind to judge, to think." After his return, Ma became the chairman of the Students' Union of the whole city. Jack Ma founded Alibaba.com in 1999, a China based business to business marketplace site. In 2003, Alibaba launched Taobao.com, a consumer to consumer auction (消费者拍卖) website similar to eBay. Ma said that he got most of his ideas while taking very long, hot showers. He likes to spend time walking his four dogs and playing chess and poker. He said,"I've learned a lot of business philosophy by playing poker."

| Do I really need a helmet just to ride to class? First, ask your physics professor what can happen to a head dropped from the normal height where you ride, say about 5 feet up, when it hits the walkway? He will tell you about the forces the head can experience from that drop height. Bike helmets are tested in a two-meter drop, a little higher, but that five feet is all the force you need to mess up your brain. You don't need forward speed at all, although it can make it worse. Then think about accidents that happen when you ride on campus. Have you had near-collisions (碰撞) or actual collisions with pedestrians as the students change class? Do you ever hurry to get to class and take little chances? Have you ever seen a patch of ice or sand on a campus sidewalk? We would bet that you know more risk factors than we do. And what do the statistics say? There are 800 people killed on bikes, and a half million, more or less injured, in the US every year. Nobody keeps track of how many of those were on a campus. But we do know that you are making a major investment in yourself for a lifetime of good returns. People with head injuries can remember how much more they were able to do mentally before the crash, and that hurts long after other parts heal (愈合). The effects can last forever. At your age you are just beginning to realize how much pleasure in life comes from being experienced, smart and educated. You don't want to take a chance with that. It means a lot to you. Helmets are cheap at Wal-Mart or Target, and the cheap ones work fine if you fit them carefully. It really won't mess up your hair much in a short ride. Give it a try. |
| 1. The aim of this text is probably______. |
| A. to introduce a way to protect one's head B. to remind students to wear helmets while riding C. to persuade students to buy more helmets at Wal-Mart D. to warn students against bicycle riding because of danger |
| 2. Helmets are necessary for bicycle riders on campus because _____. |
| A. they will meet with an accident sooner or later B. the brain will be protected during an accident C. their hair will not be messed up in a short ride D. they will have to fight against the students from other classes |
| 3. In paragraph three, the writer mainly wants to tell us that _____. |
| A. riding bicycles is too dangerous B. the traffic on the campus is often out of order C. the number of bicycles on campus should be limited D. it is difficult to avoid accidents while riding bicycles on campus |
| 4. The "major investment" refers to the money for _____. |
| A. a safer bike B. bike accidents C. a helmet D. a campus insurance |
| 5. This passage would probably appear in the part of ______ on a website. |
| A. Science B. News C. Education D. gym |

| Canadian scientists have found a method to help aging people get less forgetful by improving their cognitive (认知) abilities through well-designed training. Everyone experiences some degree of memory loss and cognitive decline as they get older. The decline usually becomes noticeable after 50, when people may find it slightly more difficult to focus on tasks, organize everyday jobs and remember how to do things in the right order. A team of psychologists (心理学家) in Toronto created a strategy (策略) of cognitive training to help people preserve these abilities."Our primary emphasis was on improving the use of general strategic abilities because they are particularly weak to the aging process," Dr. Donald Stuss, director of the study, said in a press release. The team examined 49 healthy older adults with normal cognitive decline. All of the participants were between the ages of 71 and 87. Over the course of 12 weeks, psychologists taught them methods to improve their strategic abilities. Afterwards, researchers saw a 15 to 40 percent improvement in the memories of all participants."Over a period of six months their improvement not only maintained, but increased," said Dr. Gordon Winocur, coordinator of the study. The 12-week course was broken up into three four-week sections, focusing on a different skill involved in strategic abilities: memory, goal management and psychosocial function. The memory training emphasized how to preserve and recover information, while goal management focused on methods to lower the chance of memory slips. Psychosocial training was aimed at increasing the participants' confidence in their mental abilities. "We wanted to develop a cognitive training program that would produce improvement over a relatively short period of time, so participants could benefit more on that while they're still functional and slow down the rate of decline," said Winocur. "If we can work with people in the early stages of cognitive decline, then we can slow down the rate of this decline and help them maintain a higher level of function for a longer period of time." |
| 1. What can be a suitable title for the passage? |
| A. Canadian scientists help aging people preserve memory. B. A new way to develop a good memory. C. Cognitive abilities are essential to memory. D. Say no to the memory decline. |
| 2. According to the psychologists, what causes the bad memory when a man becomes old? |
| A. Forgetfulness. B. Psychosocial function. C. General strategic abilities. D. Goal management. |
| 3. The underlined word "maintained" means"_____". |
| A. weakened B. kept C. changed D. improved |
| 4. How many strategic abilities do the psychologists mainly focus on? |
| A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five. |
| 5. From what Winocur said in the last paragraph, we can learn that ________. |
| A. the cognitive training program has been proved successful B. the training can prevent one's memory from declining C. the earlier they begin the training, the better the result will be D. Winocur aims to help aging people suffer less from memory loss and cognitive decline |

| It's happened to all of us: we sleeplessly toss (翻转) and turn while the person next door snores (打呼噜) his way through the night. "Millions of people snore, most of whom are men over the age of 20," said Robert Bone, chief of Head and Neck Surgery at Scripps Clinic in San Diego."As many as 45 percent of people snore, and as many as 25 percent are chronic (慢性的) snorers. Male snorers far outnumber women who snore." To help chronic snorers get a good night's sleep, Dr. Bone treats his patients with Somnoplasty, a now-proven procedure that he created at Scripps Clinic six years ago. "If you snore loudly and frequently and do not have other breathing disorders, Somnoplasty may be the solution for you," he said. Somnoplasty uses low-temperature radio waves to treat a well-defined area in the soft palate (鄂). A small prong is inserted into the mouth toward the back of the throat. Then radiofrequency energy is delivered beneath the surface of the soft palate. The treated part is heated just enough to create an area of coagulation(凝结物). Over the next four to six weeks, the body naturally tears off the treated part, reducing volume and solidifying the area that is responsible for snoring. The procedure takes place in the doctor's office, and typically lasts no longer than 15 to 20 minutes. Patients need two to four treatments, and the procedure is 80 percent effective. Treatment costs only $200 to $300 and is covered by some insurance. Dr. Bone treats about 800 patients a year. "Somnoplasty is the state-of-the-art procedure for snoring," Dr. Bone said. "It can provide much-needed relief to chronic snorers and their families." For more information or to schedule an appointment, call (858) 554-8964. |
| 1. Which of the following is true about the snorers according to Robert Bone? |
| A. 45% of the snorers are men who are over the age of 20. B. Most people in the word are chronic snorers. C. People who toss and turn sleeplessly will never snore. D. There are far more male snorers than female snorers. |
| 2. We can learn from the passage that _____. |
| A. the procedure of Somnoplasty takes place easily and doesn't take much time B. the procedure of Somnoplasty is totally safe C. almost every snorer can be cured with Somnoplasty D. Dr. Bone may be very rich |
| 3. The fifth paragraph aims to tell us _____. |
| A. the causes of snoring B. the suffering of the treatment C. the complexity of the treatment D. the procedure of Somnoplasty |
| 4. From what Dr. Bone said at the end of the passage we can learn that ______. |
| A. he is introducing this procedure to some experts B. he is quite satisfied with the treatment of Somnoplasty C. he is good at making ad. D. Somnoplasty is the best way to treat snoring |
| 5. Where can we possibly find the passage? |
| A. In a science magazine. B. In a medicine advertisement. C. In a health magazine. D. From a TV talk show. |

| With many job postings(公开招聘) now requiring candidates (应聘者) to apply via e-mail, first impressions are made not with a handshake but with words on a computer screen. Just like it's usually a good idea to dress best for an interview, e-mails also should be refined. _____, here are some tips: ☆Forget what instant messaging has taught you. Recruiters (招聘人员) report that young professionals often send overly casual e-mails, treating an application like an instant message (IM). When using IM with friends and acquaintances, it's acceptable to use shortened forms of words or phrases and incomplete sentences. In business correspondence (信函), however, stick to the rules your Chinese and English teachers taught you. ☆Don't be cool. Your lovely e-mail background of pets playing with each other has got to go. Comic fonts (字体) are unprofessional. HR managers (人力资源经理) recommend plain fonts such as Times New Roman or Arial, and black text on a white background. They also warn against sending e-mails from strange addresses. Littlebird@ or Chinatiger@ might not get what you hope for. ☆Don't be too creative in the subject line (标题). Use plain, simple language like "Talented candidate seeking position as [name of position]" or"Enthusiastic candidate seeking position with [name of company]". Use one word to describe yourself, but do not go to extremes. The same rules apply to a paper resume (简历) and cover letter. Recruiters have only seconds to devote to each cover letter they receive. Many look at just three things: the positions you've held, the companies you've worked for,and your educational background. Anything else, such as a long story about yourself, can get in the way. |
