         There are a lot of things that happen to me in China but would certainly never happen in the US. One of
    those things is being called"strong".
         The first time was last December. I was walking across the high school campus in Guangzhou where I
    taught when a student in a gray scarf waved hello. I smiled and waved back, but then she stopped and called
    my name."You're so strong!" She smiled and pointed at what appeared to be my right arm.
         I looked down at my arms. Let's get one thing clear: I'm a very skinny guy. Once, while rehearsing for a
    high school talent show, I was told by the teacher in charge that I couldn't participate in the men's shirtless
    dance routine because my visible rib cage (胸腔) would frighten the audience.
         "I'm so what?""You're so strong!" she repeated."Um, thanks!" I didn't know what else to say, so we both
    waved goodbye.
         The next morning I stepped into my oral English classroom only to be greeted instantly by a unanimous
    (异口同声的) "Waaa!" of shock and admiration."What?" I asked."You're so strong!" shouted a boy from the
    back of the class.
         "Okay, will someone tell me what that means?" I was curious as to the real reason for such praise. So I
    turned to the monitor, gesturing for him to speak.
         "We just mean, you look very strong today," he offered earnestly.
         "What?! You mean like this?" I curled (卷起) my arm like a body-builder.
          "No! But it's so cold, and you're only wearing a short-sleeved shirt."
         Oh, I got it. My"strength" had less to do with my muscle and more to do with my apparent ignorance of
    the cold weather.

         Bright red post boxes, the Queen and queuing-what do they all have in common? They are all important
    parts of British life. At least I thought so.
         However, the ability to queue for long periods of time, once believed to be a traditional characteristic of
    the British, is no longer tolerated by people in the UK, according to a survey done for British bank Barclays.
         Once upon a time, queuing was seen as normal. During World WarⅡ, everyone had to queue up to receive
    their daily supply of foods. In fact, if you didn't stand up and wait in line with all the others, it was seen as
    uncivilized (不文明的).
         The famous English double-decker buses, with only one entrance, might also help explain why queuing was
    seen as a part of British life. Almost always, there is queue to get on.
         But perhaps the British are tired of being pushed past by the Spanish, the Italians or the French as they
    queue up to get a table at a restaurant. The people of these other European countries have more than one
    entrance to their buses, which explains their more relaxed attitude to the queue.
         Two minutes is now the longest time most British people are prepared to stand and wait. But could it be that
    the Internet, which allows us to carry out tasks quickly, is the main reason why British people are no longer
    prepared to queue?
         "Used to buying without delay, customers are even giving up purchases rather than wait their turn," says
    Stuart Neal of Barclaycard. "Shoppers are also less likely to queue for long if the item they are buying is of low
    value."
         Perhaps I will have to replace "queuing" with"impatience" in my list of things I relate to the British.
    1. What can we learn about the tradition of queuing in Britain?
    A. It was considered a symbol of a civilized behavior.
    B. It was a long time tradition as old as the Queen.
    C. It was a product of the slow pace of life.
    D. It has made the Britain different from other Europeans.
    2. According to the passage, the British gradually stopped queuing because ______.
     A. they prefer shopping online
    B. the Internet has changed their way of life
    C. British buses have more than one entrance
    D. they follow the example of foreigners
    3. It can be learned from the text that ______.
    A. the British like to eat in foreign restaurants
    B. the British have to queue to receive food
    C. the British get impatient with queuing for long
    D. the British prefer to take double-decker buses
    4. The author's main purpose of writing the passage is _______.
    A. to tell us the influence of the Internet on the British ways of life
    B. to compare the cultural difference between Britain and other countries
    C. to report his research on the British ways of life
    D. to talk about the changes in the attitude to queuing in Britain

         When most people think of giant pandas, the pictures of the cute, black-and-white bears from China that
    eat bamboo will immediately jump into their mind. Scientists from Mississippi State University, however, are
    interested in what the bears leave behind; their poop (排泄物). At a recent meeting in Denver, Professor Brown
    at the university presented her research showing how panda poop could inspire a new way to obtain energy
    from plants, which are a renewable energy source. Usually, plants can be called biomass (有机燃料) when
    they are used as an energy source.
         Burning biomass is one way to capture its energy, but Brown hopes panda poop can teach scientists
    something about breaking down biomass. Pandas - or at least the bacteria in their stomachs - are very good at
    getting energy out of bamboo. Unlike cows, which use 4 stomachs to digest large amounts of grass, a panda
    has only one stomach. Bamboo comes in, and poop goes out.
         Every day for 14 months, Brown and her team on this project, counted the bacteria in the poop of the two
    pandas. Ya Ya and Le Le living at the Memphis Zoo. Her studies turned up 12 species of bacteria that break
    down biomass, including one that had never been found in pandas. Brown says that because the poop contains
    bacteria that break down biomass, it could also be used to break down other types of biomass.
         Now the scientists hope to identify the chemicals that help with the process of breaking down biomass and
    then figure out how the bacteria work. If those chemicals can be made in the lab, they could be used to turn
    biomass - like grass or other plants - into fuel.
         Brown says she doesn't mind handling panda poop."It's probably the most pleasant material to work with,"
    she says,"My colleagues and I have been working with other poop for a long time, and we can assure you it
    has a fairly pleasant smell associated with it."
    1. The importance of studying panda poop is _______.
    A. to explore a new way to get energy from plants
    B. to create a renewable energy from plants
    C. to learn a lesson of energy from panda poop
    D. to figure out how the bacteria work for us mankind
    2. The process of the panda poop project can be described as ______.
    a. Identify the chemicals helpful to break down biomass.
    b. Find the bacteria in panda poop which break down bamboo.
    c. Reproduce the chemicals in the lab to turn biomass into energy.
    d. Analyze how the bacteria in panda poop work in panda's stomach.
    A. a, b, d, e
    B. a, d, c, b
    C. b, d, a, c
    D. b, a, d, c
    3. What does the author mainly want to express in the 2nd paragraph?
    A. Pandas don't digest bamboo the same way as cows.
    B. Pandas are capable of getting energy using stomachs.
    C. Scientists have learn something new from panda poop.
    D. Pandas can get energy from bamboo more efficiently.
    4. What does Professor Brown think of working with panda poop?
    A. Enjoyable.
    B. Challenging.
    C. Inspiring.

         When you hear the word "recycling", what comes to your mind? The color green or global warming?
          What if I were to tell you there is a dark side of recycling? A type of recycling that does more harm than
    good. The dark side of recycling has nothing to do with the environment but rather has a lot to do with the
    recycling of ideas.
          Environmental unrest isn't the only trouble we must face. Idea pollution is quickly becoming widespread
    across the online world.
         Think about it. When was the last time you read an original blog post? I'm guessing it has been quite a
    while. Why do you think top bloggers (博主) of today win so much respect? Do you think they recycle their
    ideas? With each recycled idea the online world becomes much more polluted. Used content contributes to the
    ever increasing mass of digital smog (烟雾).
         The first step to reduce pollution is simple: stop recycling. When you stop recycling, you will then be
    forced to take up the task of creating from your own ideas. When you recycle an excellent idea, it soon
    becomes good. When you recycle a good idea, it soon becomes just OK. The chain continues until the key part
    of what used to make the idea good is saturated (饱和), leaving you nothing but a pile of mess.
         In order not to pollute, your ideas must go beyond "just recycled". Your ideas must stand out from the
    pollution of the web. For your voice and talent to be heard and seen, you must go far beyond the standard
    copy of your neighbors' ideas.
         For the next week, make a promise not to recycle. Let your ideas flourish and flow. Believe in your ability
    to create, because the death of recycling starts with YOU.
    1. Which is true about top bloggers of today according to the writer?
    A. They are not worth much respect.
    B. They tend to express many fresh ideas.
    C. They often recycle their ideas.
    D. They make good use of others' ideas.
    2. The 5th paragraph mainly talks about ______.
    A. how to stop recycling ideas
    B. the good effects of stopping recycling
    C. the bad effects of recycling ideas
    D. how to recycle good ideas online
    3. This passage is written mainly for ______.
    A. top bloggers
    B. net researchers
    C. environment polluters
    D. common bloggers
    4. The main purpose of this passage is ______.
    A. to remind people to pay attention to environmental protection
    B. to prove that the web environment is becoming worse and worse
    C. to call on people to write online more creatively instead of repeating
    D. to warn people not to pollute our web environment with bad words

    Nowadays not much people set aside regular time to read 
    books. People are always busy do all kinds of things
    which seem to be more importantly. Actually, many of them
    are just watching TV, surf the Internet, hanging out with
    friends, etc. Of course, sometime we need to relax in 
    this way, so we cannot ignore books. Books help us learn
    about the past and look to future. Good books contain
    valuable knowledges gathered by the writer. They give
    me wisdom and power to create a better world. Without books,
