| I was shopping in the supermarket when I heard the young voice. "Mom, come here! There's this lady here like my 1 !" The mother rushed to her son; then she turned to me to 2 . I smiled and told her: "It's okay." Then I talked to the boy, "Hi, I'm Darry Kramer. How are you?" He 3 me from head to toe, and asked: "Are you a little 4 ? "Yes, I have a son," I answered. "Why are you so little?" he asked. "It's the way I was 5 ," I said. "Some people are little. Some are tall. I'm just not going to grow any bigger." After I answered his other questions, I shook the boy's hand, and left. My life as a little person is filled with 6 like that. I enjoy talking to children and explaining why I look different from their parents. It takes only one glance to see my 7 . I stand 114 cm tall.

| A lot of us lose life's tough battles by starting a frontal attack-when a touch of humor might well enable us to win. Consider the case of a young friend of mine, who hit a traffic jam on his way to work shortly after receiving an ultimatum (最后通牒) about being late on the job. Although there was a good reason for Sam's being late-serious illness at home-he decided that this by-now-familiar excuse wouldn't work any longer. His supervisor was probably already pacing up and down preparing a dismissal speech. Yes, the boss was. Sam entered the office at 9:35. The place was as quiet as a locker room; everyone was hard at work. Sam's supervisor came up to him. Suddenly, Sam forced a grin and stretched out his hand. "How do you do!" he said. "I'm Sam Maynard. I'm applying for a job, which, I understand, became available just 35 minutes ago. Does the early bird get the worm?" The room exploded in laughter. The supervisor clamped off a smile and walked back to his office. Sam Maynard had saved his job-with the only tool that could win, a laugh. Humor is a most effective, yet frequently neglected, means of handling the difficult situations in our lives. It can be used for patching up differences, apologizing, saying "no", criticizing, getting the other fellow to do what you want without his losing face. For some jobs, it's the only tool that can succeed. It is a way to discuss subjects so sensitive that serious dialog may start a quarrel. For example, many believe that comedians on television are doing more today for racial and religious tolerance than people in any other forum. |
| 1. Why was Sam late for his job? |
| A. Because he was ill. B. Because he got up late. C. Because he was caught in a traffic jam. D. He was busy applying for a new job. |
| 2. The main idea of this passage is ____. |
| A. Sam Maynard saved his job with humor B. humor is important in our lives C. early bird gets the worm D. humor can solve racial discriminations |
| 3. The phrase "clamped off" in Paragraph 3 means ____. |
| A. tried to hold back B. tried to set C. charged D. gave out |
| 4. Which of the following statements can we infer from the passage? |
| A. Many lose life's battles for they are lacking in a sense of humor. B. It wasn't the first time that Sam came late for his work. C. Sam was supposed to come to his office at 8:30. D. Humor is the most effective way of solving problems. |

| Why should I teach my children history? That sounds like a stupid question to even ask. But, as I hear different home schooling teachers discuss history, I get the idea that there may be different reasons for teaching history. Let me briefly explain the three good reasons for studying history and two bad reasons for studying history. The major reason I see for studying history is that we can learn from the past. I am convinced that the world would be a much better place if more people understood the successes and failures of the past and the things that made these successes and failures. However, as the unfortunately true statement goes "the one thing we seem to learn from history is that we don't seem to learn from history." Perhaps at least in teaching history, to my children I can do a small part in changing this. A second major reason for studying history is that it is hard to understand the current political climate in the absence of an understanding of its historical context. We can- not even understand why we are and where we are without history, much less (更不必说) try to figure out where we are going or how we should get where we want to be. I teach my children history, for one more reason. I purchased a set of historical audio (录音机) tapes for our children. My seven-year-old son listened to them over and over. It was my hope that he would become inspired by the accomplishments of people like the Wright brothers to accomplish things by himself. I think that it is good that we celebrate the accomplishments of people like Martin Luther King Jr. if, in doing so, young people are called on to stand for the principles that he stood for and accomplish what he accomplished. I also think that by studying people like Adolph Hitler, people can learn to stand against the things that he stood for. |
| 1. What message can we get from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2? |
| A. Many people aren't clever enough to learn well from the past. B. Many people fail to make good use of history and make the same mistakes. C. Many people feel it hard to understand history. D. Many people have no interest in studying history. |
| 2. In Paragraph 3, the author shows that history is useful because _______. |
| A. it makes the current political situation go smoothly B. it helps us realize the importance of historical events C. it helps us understand why things are the way they are D. it helps people accept the present situation where they live |
| 3. What would be talked about in the following paragraph? |
| A. How to teach history effectively. B. Some negative reasons for studying history. C. How to get more people to study history. D. Some bad historical figures. |
| 4. The main purpose of this passage is to _______. |
| A. inspire the parents to teach their children history B. show the importance of history in politics C. explain the reasons why children study history D. introduce the writer' s own way of teaching history |

| There are several ways you can find out about the countries and places you wish to visit. You can talk to friends who have travelled to the places. Or you can go and see a color film. Or you can read travel books. It would seem that there are three kinds of travel books. The first are those that give a personal, subjective (主观的) account of travels which the author has actually made himself. If they are informative and have a good index (索引), then they can be useful to you when you are planning your travels. The second kind are those books whose purpose is to give a purely objective (客观的) description of things to be done and seen. If a well-read, cultured person has written such a book, then it is even more useful. It can be sorted as a selected guide book. The third kind are those books which are called"a guide" to some place or other. If they are good, they will, in addition to their factual information, give an analysis or an explanation. Like the first kind they can be inspiring and interesting. But their basic purpose is to help the reader who wishes to plan in the most practical way. Whatever kind of travel book you choose you must make sure that it does not describe everything as "wonderful", "excellent" or"magical". You must also note its date of publication because travel is a very practical affair and many things change quickly in the twenty-first century. Finally, you should make sure that the contents are well presented and easy to find. |
| 1. This passage is about _____. |
| A. how to travel B. how to buy travel books C. how to read a travel book D. travel books |
| 2. The following travel books may be of use when you plan your travels except ____. |
| A. the book written by some people who have had the same travel experience themselves B. the book which tells you what is worth doing and seeing based on the facts C. the book in which a lot of big adjectives are used to draw your attention D. the book which offers you a lot of useful information like a tour guide |
| 3. The date of the publication must be noticed because ______. |
| A. the world is changing and so are the places you are going to visit B. the price of the book is always changing C. the author of the book may be different D. the contents of the book are always the same |

| The world's biggest Internet search engine, Google, has proven once again to be king of the Web. Users can download "Google Wi-Fi" software and then enjoy free Wi-Fi service available in some US cities since last Tuesday. Wi-Fi is short for " Wireless Fidelity" (无线上网). It allows laptop computers (笔记本电脑) and personal digital assistants (PDAs,个人数字助理) to connect to the Internet at high speed by radio signal. A person with a Wi-Fi enabled computer can connect to the Internet when near one of the network's access points. The place covered by one or several access points is called a hotspot. Google has already set up two"hotspots" in the US city of San Francisco which provide a free Wi-Fi service. The Wi-Fi technology even allows users to enjoy a free Internet phone service. Some scientists argue that Wi-Fi may replace mobile phone networks. Wi Fi is still limited to a few cities, where there are"hotspots". But its capability (容量) of sending information has already done better than that of the mobile phone network, even that of 3G(Third Generation telecommunication technology). Some scientists have started to call Wi-Fi 4G. In addition to a high speed Internet connection, Wi-Fi has other advantages com pared to mobile phones. Wi-Fi is global. The same Wi-Fi system works in different countries around the world. Different from using cell phones, you don't need to change computers to use Internet phones when you go to other places and most importantly, many Internet phones cost you nothing at all. |
| 1. Wi-Fi is not available in cities without _____. |
| A. a computer B. a radio C. a hotspot D. a cell phone |
| 2. Which of the following is NOT the advantage of Wi-Fi? |
| A. The high speed Internet connection. B. Many free Internet phones. C. Using the same computers for Internet phones when you go to other places. D. Used in all the US cities |
| 3. Some scientists started to call Wi-Fi 4G, because _____. |
| A. it is the product of the Google's 4th generation B. it is more capable of sending information than the mobile phone network C. it has been used by more than four generations D. Wi-Fi will surely take the place of the mobile phone network |
| 4. Which of the following is the best title? |
| A. Third Generation Telecommunication Technology B. Free call Service C. Google Launches Free Wi-Fi Service D. Google, King of the Web |

| In America, drivers'education is part of the regular high school curriculum (课程). Every student in his or her second year of high school is required to take a class in driver's education. However, unlike other courses, it is not given during the regular school year. Instead it is a summer course. The course is divided up into two parts: class time for learning laws and regulations, and driving time to practise driving. Class time is not unlike any other class. The students study the basic traffic laws from a text to pass the written driving test that is given to anyone who wants to get a driver's license. Driving time is a chance for the students to get behind the wheel (steering wheel) and practise starting steering, backing up, parking, switching lanes, turning corners, and all the other maneuvers (操作) required to drive a car. Each student is required to drive a total of six hours. The students are divided up into groups of four. The students and the instructor go out driving for two hour blocks of time. Thus, each student gets half an hour driving time per outing. The instructor and "driver" sit in the front seats and the other three students sit in the back. After the student has passed the driver's education course and reached the appropriate age to drive (this age differs in every state but in most cases the person must be 16 years old), they can go to a designated (指 定的) state office to take their driver's test, which is made up of an eye examination, a written test, and a road test. The person must pass all three tests in order to be given a driver's license. If the person did well in his or her driver's education class, he or she will pass the test with flying colors and get a driver's license. |
| 1. In America, the driver's course mentioned above _____. |
| A. is considered as part of the advanced education B. is given to anyone wanting to get a driver's license C. is carried on at the same time as other courses D. is offered to all the students of Grade 2 in high schools |
| 3. To prevent accidents, a drivers Ed car _____. |
| A. has a sign inside it B. has two sets of brakes C. is big enough to hold five persons D. can't run very fast |
