| Everybody has had at least one experience from which he knows the meaning of life. This time, which took place several years ago, but seems as if it just happened. On an afternoon several years ago, my brother-in-law opened the bottom drawer of my sister's dress and picked out a beautiful skirt. "Jan bought this the first time we went to New York, at least 8 or 9 years ago. She never wore it. She was saving it for a special occasion." he said. I guess this was the occasion: it was the funeral(葬礼) of my sister, after her unexpected death. He took the shirt and put it on bed, with the other clothes we were taking to the funeral. Then he closed the drawer and turned to me, "Don't ever save anything for a special occasion. Every day you're alive is a special occasion." I'm thinking about his words, and they've changed the way I live my life. I'm spending more time with my family and friends and less time in committee meetings. Whenever possible, life should be a kind of experience to enjoy, not to suffer. "Someday" and "one of these days" are losing their importance on my vocabulary. If it's worth seeing or hearing or doing I want to see and hear and do it now. Ever since that day, I have been trying very hard not to put off, hold hack or save anything that would add laughter and color to our lives. Every morning when I open my eyes, I tell myself that every day, every minute, every breath, truly is a gift. So cherish every day and find the true meaning of your life. |
| 1. Why did Jan buy the beautiful skirt but didn't wear it? |
| A. She waited for a special occasion to wear it on. B. She wanted to keep it for someone else. C. She saved it till she grew up. D. She would give it to herself as a gift some day. |
| 2. What does the underlined word"cherish" mean? |
| A. Treasure. B. Waste. C. Own. D. Save. |

| What should you think about when trying to find your career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. A knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs. Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. You may be good at metalwork or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills. If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job. Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is better to face any weakness than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic(认错的) about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work. |
| 1. What is the passage mainly about? |
| A. The importance of working hard at school. B. Choosing a career according to one's strengths. C. How to face one's weakness. D. The value of school work. |
| 2. The writer thinks that a student have a part-time job is probably _____. |
| A. a good way to find out his weak points B. one of the best ways of earning extra money C. of great use for his work in the future D. a waste of time he could have spent on study |
| 3. From the passage we learn that if a student's school performance is not good, he _____. |
| A. should pay more attention to learning skills and developing abilities B. will be regretful about his bad results C. may also do well in his future work D. should restart his study in school |
| 4. The underlined phrase "be all thumbs" (in para 3) probably means"_____". |
| A. be clumsy at doing things B. be skillful in doing things C. be not interested in certain things D. be easily bored in doing things |

| In the Harry Potter films, Hermione Granger is better than her male friends and is considered the brightest pupil in her grade. Isn't it often the same in schools of our real world? "It's surprising but true that most of the top students have been girls since primary school. Girls are class leaders, club presidents and the top ones in exams," said Wang Feixuan, 15, who studies at a Chengdu school. By any measure, Wang herself is a high-achiever. She is a top student, a team leader in her school's sports club and a winner in national English and IT competitions. But why do so many girls outperform their male peers? In Sun Yunxiao's latest book Save Our Boys, he points out that the education system is"more suited to girls, who are good at memorizing and like to sit quietly and read." Yet he also says that girls have to do so much more when they compete with males for honors, top universities and later good jobs. They can feel great pressure nearly every day. This seems to be the same in most countries in the world. Young women in the United States are also reported to feel the same pressure to be perfect. "Let's look at what we ask of our teenage girls," says Professor Stephen Hinshaw in an interview. He thinks that it's no longer enough that a girl does well in school and is a caring friend. On the TV, on the Internet and everywhere, girls see images of impossible perfection. Today's young women must be good learners, good athletes, and fill their after-school lives with other activities. But they are also asked to have the styles and looks of popular stars."Be pretty, sweet and nice. Be athletic, competitive and get straight. Be impossibly perfect." Stephen Hinshaw sums up. |
| 1. The passage suggests that _____. |
| A. our society asks far too much of teenage girls B. teenage girls shouldn't be so perfect at school C. boys are always lazy ones rather than girls D. American girls have less pressure than Chinese girls |
| 2. According to the passage, it is true that _____. |
| A. boys are less smart than girls throughout school life B. boys usually don't have so much pressure as girls do C. girls are all fond of the Chinese education system D. girls are better at school because boys don't work hard |
| 3. The underlined word "outperform" means _____. |
| A. hate B. misunderstand C. like D. defeat |
| 4. What is the best title for the passage? |
| A. Impossibly Perfect Is Possible. B. Why Are Girls So Perfect? C. Perfect? Pressure Every Day! D. Perfect: Boys or Girls? |

| To what degree can a computer achieve intelligence (智力)? The answer to this question may lie in a newly-developed US computer program called Smarter Child and the Internet. If you ran into Smarter Child online, you would be surprised at this kid's huge memory. It can recite many facts. For example, Smarter Child knows every baseball player in every team this season. He knows every word in the dictionary and the weather in every major city areas across the US. However, if you ask Smarter Child other questions, you get stranger answers. A question about Smarter Child's age returns. "One year, 11 days, 16 hours, 7 minutes, and 47 seconds!" Asking where he lives gets, "In a clean room in a high-tech building in California．" Smarter Child uses the vast information on the World Wide Web as his memory bank. To answer questions about spelling, for instance, Smarter Child goes to American Heritage Dictionary online. For the weather, he visits www.intellicast.com. Some scientists believe that by joining the many systems of the Internet, an artificial being with the combined knowledge of, say, Albert Einstein, Richard Nixon and Britney Spears could be born. However if Smarter Child wants to think and learn on his own like the boy-computer David in the movie A.I., Artificial Intelligence, he must overcome two problems. The first is that computers find it difficult to read web pages because the files are labeled in different ways. That's why programmers need to tell Smarter Child where to look for the weather. It would be a much more difficult task to let him find it himself. Another problem is that while Smarter Child can process (处理) information more exactly and faster than any human, he lacks common sense-a basic grounding of knowledge that is obvious to any young child. |
| 1. From the text we can infer that www.inte3llicast.com is a website _____. |
| A. which is specially designed to help Smarter Child B. where we people can find Smarter Child C. where weather forecasts are made D. which is about artificial intelligence |
| 2. It is probably most difficult for Smarter Child to _____. |
| A. tell us how to spell a difficult word B. tell us how the American government is run C. provide us with a famous poem by Shakespeare D. learn how to tell right behaviors from wrong ones. |
| 3. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text? |
| A. Smart Child has his own memory bank big enough for all kinds of information. B. A.I. Artificial Intelligence is probably the name of a film about a boy-computer. C. Smart Child can recognize different files and find information needed on his own. D. We have similar product now which has the knowledge of Einstein, Nixon and Spears. |
| 4. Which of the following is the bet title for the passage? |
| A. A New Web Child B. Smarter Child C. The Future of Internet D. Intelligence Development |
