         It was just getting dark. There was a touch of fog and I was on a lonely stretch of road.   1   I was going
    along cheerfully, thinking about the dinner I would eat when I got to Salisbury.
          I was going along   2   at about thirty-five miles an hour when suddenly I heard a scream, a   3  scream-
    " Help!" I looked round, but the only   4   of life was a large, black, rather suspicious-looking (可疑的) car
    just  5  a bend in the road about a hundred yards away. That was where the cry had come from. I   6   speed

         You Mi, a lovely and confident 17-year-old student, is the first Chinese high school student to appear on
    the cover of the popular young adults' fashion magazine Seventeen.
         "You is IN," said Wang Lihua, Editor-in-Chief of Seventeen. "She is active and mature (成熟的) because
    of her knowledge on everything from academic studies, to books on art, to movies. We found she's the very
    style we're looking for to represent young people's attitudes."   
         You also impressed Wang with her fluent English when they first met last year. As the hostess of an
    English broadcasting programme at the High School Affiliated to Renmin University, You is always praised
    for speaking English almost like a native speaker. "I've built up my English by watching thousands of English
    DVDs since I was 10," she explained.    
         But for You, watching isn't enough. Last year, while in Senior 1, she met a talented boy who showed self-
    made DV movies at the English Corner in her school.  
         "I thought it was so cool and I knew that I should start making my own films," she said. So she wrote a
    campus (校园) story, persuaded schoolmates to star in it and then began shooting a 30-minute DV movie, all
    in English. "I played one of the leading roles, actually I was everything in my film. I worked on it every single
    day during the SARS holidays," she recalled. The movie finally became a big hit on campus, earning You a
    strong reputation (名气) as a DV movie director.    
         But this is not the only field she wants to master. Despite being a science student, You likes art, literature
    and fashion design very much.    
         "There are people who can be artists, there are people who edit books, and there are people who become
    film producers. But I just hope to mix all the things up!" she said. "There is an old saying I believe: Chance
    favours only the prepared mind."
    1. You Mi was chosen to be a cover of Seventeen,mainly because she _____.
    A. is beautiful
    B. she is lovely and full of confidence
    C. is active and mature
    D. has rich knowledge
    2. You Mi's fluent English is based on _____.
    A. her chance to host an English broadcasting programme
    B. the influence of her parents
    C. her deep interest in it
    D. her making DV movie
    3. The author mentioned a talented boy to show _____.
    A. the great influence he had on You Mi
    B. he was admired by his schoolmates
    C. the young can do things as well as the adults do
    D. self-made DV movies are popular at school
    4. In the 30-minute DV movie, You Mi didn't act as a(n) _____.
    A. director
    B. musician
    C. actress
    D. producer
    5. We can learn from the passage that _____.
    A. You Mi hopes to be a mixed talent

         London, Reuters-What could annoy teenagers enough to make them stop hanging out with friends and
    go home?
          No, it's not a visit from their mothers, and not a threat to take away their cellphones or pocket money.
          It's high-frequency noise. The UK police recently agreed to use a device (装置) called the Sonic Teenager
    Deterrent. It sends out a sound that makes teenagers become so impatient and angry that they have to cover
    their ears tightly and walk away.
         The sound is at extreme high-pitch that can be heard by those under 20. The body's natural ability to detect
    some wave bands (波段) decreases almost entirely after 20, so few adults can hear the sounds. The black-box
    device, nicknamed the Mosquito because of its sound, can be fixed to the outside walls of shops, offices and
    homes. It sounds to youngsters like a crazy insect or a badly played violin. But it causes no physical damage.
         A number of police forces and councils have given permission to use the system and want to install it at
    trouble spots.
         Staffordshire Police Inspector Amanda Davies, who has given the device to shopkeepers in the Moorlands
    area, said," It is controlled by the shopkeepers--if they can see through their window that there is a problem,
    they turn the device on for a while until the group has run away."
    1. The device can be used to _______.
    A. threaten teenagers in public
    B. drive away trouble-makers under 20
    C. help mothers control their teenage children
    D. help the police control shopkeepers
    2. From the passage we can know that _______.
    A. young people often suffer from pains in ears
    B. shopkeepers are troubled by noisy insects
    C. high-frequency noise is beyond the listening ability of people over 20
    D. the police invented a new device to deal with teenagers
    3. The purpose of the writer to write the passage is _______. 
    A. to advertise a new hi-tech device
    B. to tell the reader a piece of news
    C. to sell the device to shopkeepers
    D. to inform the public as the spokesman of the police
    4. Who will welcome the device most?
    A. Shopkeepers.
    B. The police.
    C. Young people.
    D. The producer.

    foryoung people in China."Start early, finish strong, some of them say.
          More than 300 universities from 27 countries and regions were represented at last weekend's
    international education exposition (展览).

         The US has always been on the top destination list for Chinese students, with its high
    education standards and enough scholarship. Good news:It's easier to get a US student visa
    (签证) nowadays. Last year, the refusal rate was only 20 to 30 per cent, much lower than a
    few years before, according to US Embassy. Concerns: There're a lot to prepare. The
    TOFEL, GRE... It's longer time to apply to US universities than schools in the UK or
    Australia.

    Chinese students.
         Good news: There many new scholarships this year, both from the government and
    universities, such as the Scotland International Scholarship.

    of 200,000 to 300,000 Yuan a year.

         Canada's multicultural environment is good for students' studies and careers.
          Good news: Students are allowed to take off- campus part-time jobs during their studies
    from last year. It'll help pay living expenses. Students can get two-year work permits after
    graduation. Concerns: Only a limited number of scholar- ships are available. They rarely cover
    the full cost of a study programme.
         Useful link: www. Studycanada. cn


         Good climate, high quality education, favour- able immigration (移民) policy: these make
    Australia one of the most popular choices among Chinese students.
         Good news: A new E-visa policy ensure a quick application process ( four weeks com- pared with 12 weeks before )
          Concerns: Tuition fees (学费) have risen in past years. The total cost is about 200,000 Yuan
    to attend a university located in big cities like Sydney or Melbourne.

                                                          Less TV Reduce Kids Weight
          PALO AITO, California-" Switching off the television may help prevent children from getting fatter-even
    if they do not change their diet or increase the amount they exercise," US researchers said last week.
         A study of 192 third and fourth grades, generally aged eight and nine, found that children who cut the
    number of hours spent watching television gained nearly two pounds (0.91 kg ) less over a one-year period
    than those who did not change their television diet.
         "The findings are important because they show that weight loss can only be the result of a reduction in
    television viewing and not any other activity," said Thomas Robinson, a pediatrician (儿科专家) at Stanford
    University.
         " American children spend an average of more than four hours per day watching television and videos or
    playing games, and rates of childhood being very fat have doubt over the past 20 years," Robinson said.
         In the study, presented this week to the Pediatric Academic Societies' annual meeting in San Francisco,
    the researchers persuaded about 100 of the students to reduce their television viewing by one-quarter to
    one-third.
         Children watching fewer hours of television showed a significantly smaller increase in waist size and had
    less body fat than other students who continue their normal television viewing, even though neither group ate
    a special diet nor took part in any extra exercise.
         "One explanation for the weight loss could be the children unstuck to the television may simply have been
    moving around and burning off calories," Robinson said.
          "Another reason might be due to eating fewer meals in front of the television. Some studies have suggested
    that eating in front of the TV encourages people to eat more," Robinson added.
    1. The author tries to tell us in the first two paragraphs that ______.
    A. children will get fatter if they eat too much.
    B. children will get thinner if they eat less.
    C. children will get fatter if they spend less time watching TV.
    D. children will get fatter if they spend more time watching TV.
    2. According to the passage, the time American children usually spend on watching TV ______.
    A. is more than four hours a day.
    B. is less than four hours a day.
    C. doubled in the last twenty years.
    D. is more than on any other activities.
    3. The time children spend on TV viewing every day is suggested to be about _______.
    A. six hours
    B. eight hours
    C. three hours
    D. one hour

    A. Children usually eat fewer while watching TV.
    B. Children usually eat more while watching TV.
    C. Children eat the same amount of meals while watching TV.
