| Who are the elders in your family? The most common answer is that they are your parents, grandparents, uncles, aunts, and elder cousins--in a word, any relative who is older than you. But that doesn't really answer the question, does it? In a normal family, there is a big difference between being elderly and being an elder. Elders are the storytellers, the cooks, the historians, the authorities, the knitters, and the workhorses. They are the people we respect and turn to for answers or help when we are in trouble, because of their many years of life experience. Most of all, they are the people who raised you and your loved ones and helped you growing into the people you are. For many years, they carried the burden of caring for your family and leading it to better times. Now it's your turn to dote on them. Ensuring the welfare of your elders should come as naturally to us as raising our children. Unfortunately, too many people take their parents' and grandparents' ability to care for them for granted. And in a country where so many of us live hundreds of miles from our families, looking after loved ones can be difficult. Even so, you should make sure your loved ones are taken care of no matter where they live, and try to look after the seniors living alone in your neighbor, too. Taking responsibility for the elders in our society in an important thing that all citizens should do. |
| 1. According to the author, elders are those who _____. |
| A. are much older than us B. bring us up by working hard C. give us money and food D. have many interesting stories |
| 2. Which of the following opinions doesn't the author agree with? |
| A. naturally that the elders should take care of themselves B. It's our duty to take care of the elders when they are old C. We should take care of the elders even if a long distance separates us from them D. Looking after the elders is as important as raising our children |
| 3. In which of the following columns would you most probably read this passage? |
| A. Education B. Parenting C. Society D. Family |
| 4. The passage was written to _____. |
| A. explain what elders are like B. criticize those people who don't respect elders C. Explain why we should love elders D. Call on people to respect and love elders |

| The debate over children from other European countries in Britain's school was refired after the country's leading teachers told The Observer that rising numbers of foreign pupils are putting some of schools near the breaking point. Members of the National Association of Head Teachers will this week tell the government that the problem is starting to change the culture of some schools. Some heads said the situation was out of control. Though head teachers think the new pupils have great ability and they should be welcomed into schools, they are worried that they don't have enough money to deal with the situation. "There is a feeling among some of our members that this is out of control and no one knows the final solution," said Mick Brookes, general secretary of the NAHT. Brookes who will give evidence this week to the government added,"some schools just don't know how many immigrant children they will have to admit." He said that while schools could take in one or two foreign pupils, some were struggling with the sudden large increase in the number of children overseas. Clarissa Williams, head of Tolworth Girls School in Kingston upon Thames, south London, said she received &1,300 a year from the government to cover the costs of teaching English to foreign pupils but was having to spend &30,000 of her own budget to keep pace. On Tuesday, the association will tell the House of Lords that education budgets have not kept pace with the increase in the number of pupils for whom English is a second language, or not spoken at all, who have entered Britain since the European Union expanded (扩大) |
| 1. According to the passage, the main reason for the debate is _____. |
| A. Foreign pupils bring their cultures into Britain B. Teachers work harder than before while getting paid less C. The number of foreign pupils has increased too fast D. The government doesn't listen to the head teachers |
| 2. How much more does Clarissa Williams need to receive from the government to cover the costs of teaching English to foreign pupils each year? |
| A. &1,300 B.1,700 C. &30,000 D. &28,700 |
| 3. From the passage we know that _____. |
| A. pupils from other countries can not speak English B. many schools have already reached the breaking points C. British schools have profited from the expansion of the the European Union D. the expansion of the the European Union has brought many foreign students to Britain |
| 4. Which of the following actions may most probably be taken by the government to solve the problem? |

| Depression (抑郁症) is a serious problem today. Depression causes workers to be unproductive, causing companies and countries to lose billions of dollars. One expert says that depression is like cancer because it is "widespread,costly and deadly". Depression hits one person in five around the world. Although people have believed depression to be a problem among the rich and educated, studies show that depression is a problem among everyone. Over any six-month period, between five to seven percent of the world's population will be suffering from a serious depression. Suicide (自杀) rates among people suffering from the disease in its extreme,or clinical form were 80 percent higher than in the population at large, and sufferers were four times more likely to have heart attacks. People who suffer from depression often have problems sleeping,getting upon time, and doing work productively. Depression,which researchers agree has its origin in the genes (基因), brings loss of confidence and ability to concentrate-making it impossible for employees and managers to work efficiently. Depression is made more serious in China by Chinese's inability to face it.Many people believe that depressed people are either weak or lazy. Besides, there is no good treatment,with few specialists available. "Most patients in China just don't get help, "a Chinese doctor says."In my hospital.I have to see 30 or 40 patients in a morning,just have time to say "Hello how do you feel?" In Western countries,people are not afraid to admit that they have depression,but most do not tell it to their boss,because they fear that their boss would fire them. "In my experience, aging bosses are the most willing to admit they have it. Because they feel the most secure about themselves,"an American doctor says. Hopefully,in the near future,people around the world will be able to admit that they have depression so that they can get the right treatment. |
| 1. Which of the following is true according to the passage? |
| A. It is widely believed that everyone may suffer from depression. B. Depression brings great problems to its sufferers in their life and work C. Depression is a commonly-existing problem only in rich countries. D. The poorer and the less educated a person is,the less he will suffer from depression. |
| 2. Compared to normal people,the depressed people are likely to be _____. |
| A.very unconfident and often absent-minded B. easy to avoid being hit by heart attacks C. working efficiently and productively D. either weak or lazy |
| 3. Depression becomes more serious in China because of _____. |
| A. the understanding of the problem B. the lack of treatment and doctors C. their unwillingness to tell it to their boss D. the doctors' careless work |
| 4. What can we infer from the passage? |
| A. People are suffering from depression because of the shortage of specialists. B. The aging bosses around the world dare to say they are depressed. C. More and more patients will turn to specialists for help. D. Western people are braver than Chinese people. |

| I asked Jackie a lot of questions. I asked if she became close to her patients. She said, "Some I do, especially if I have become their close friends and they tell me things they wouldn't tell anyone else. I've found it harder for the patient's family to accept what's happening. In most cases, the dying person has accepted the truth." I asked her how she could do this work for so long. She said,"I have taken care of 3,000people over 37years. I consider dying to be a very important part of life. I feel good because I can make these people's journey easier." Jackie was the mother I have never had. My own mother, Helen, was taken away from me right after I was born. I never knew her. And I had a strange relationship with my father. He was a Sunday father. Since my sister and I lived in foster homes, he came to visit only on Sundays. But at the hospice (临终安养院), nurse Jackie gave me hope, love and encouragement. She listened to all my stories, and I listened to hers. It was a comfort. The nurses had told my family that death was coming near. As time went on, I became the star patient at the hospice, because I didn't go according to plans. My kidneys started working again and could function without dialysis (透析). It was a mystery to my doctors. My friends said It was a miracle. But I knew what actually cured me. The employees showed me off to other patients and being the ham I was, I enjoyed. |

| Beijing has started a battle to get rid of"Chinglish" (Chinese English ). The "Language mandarins" of Beijing have decided that Chinglish is a disease for China's modernizing claim and must be obliterated before the city hosts the Olympic Games in 2008. A road sign on the Avenue of Eternal Peace (Chang'an Street ), for example, advised: "To Take Notice of Safe ; The Slippery are Very Crafty, "a warning that the sidewalk was slippery. Another sign in a Beijing park reads:"Little grass is smiling slightly, please walk on sidewalk". Li Honghai, the city official in charge of the battle, said: "Linguistic perfection (语言美) is becoming increasingly important with the rise in the number of the foreigners flowing into the city." However, not everyone shares the disdain (蔑视) of the Beijing government for the mixed language. "The choice of words is pretty much. One can either choose the verbs,adverbs, nouns or whatever one likes," explained one Hongkong linguist on an Internet website. So many examples exist that several Internet sites have been set up to collect Chinglish phrases. Many come from English instructions on packages such as a candle marked with "Keep this candle out of children" and a model boat-curiously named Posh Sailboat-which means"Please don't place it in dusty play." If the battle against Chinglish is successful, Chinese will also turn their attention to the English-language versions of newspapers, which play an even more important role in teaching right English. |
| 1. The underlined word "obliterated" refers to _____. |
| A. removed B. exploited C. translated D. beautified |
| 2. From the passage, we know that _____. |
| A. everyone shares the disdain for the mixed language B. all the people don't share the disdain for the mixed language C. Chinglish usually communicates in many cases D. several Internet sites have been set up to clear the Chinglish phrases |
| 3. We can infer that the English-language versions of newspapers _____. |
| A. should be in duty to teach normal English B. should report the battle above C. should be paid more attention to D. should collect more Chinglish phrases |
| 4. Which of the following signs is Chinglish? |
