| Back in my country, when I was a child, I used to go to "market day" with my mother. One day each week, farmers used to 1 their fruit and vegetables into the city. They 2 one street to all cars, and the farmers set up tables for their 3 . This outdoor market was a great place to 4 . Everything was fresher than produce in grocery stores because the farmers brought it in 5 after the harvest. My mother and I always got there early in the morning to get the 6 produce. The outdoor market was a wonderful adventure for a small child, 7 was like a festival-full of colors and 8 . There are red tomatoes, yellow lemons, green lettuce, peppers, grapes, onions. The farmers did their-own 9 . They all shouted loudly for 10 to buy their produce. "Come and buy my beautiful oranges! They're juicy and delicious and full of vitamins to 11 your children healthy and strong!" Everyone used to 12 with the farmers over the 13 of their produce. It was like a wonderful drama in a theatre; the buyers and sellers were the " 14 " in this drama. My mother was an 15 at this. First, she picked the freshest, most attractive tomatoes, for example. Then she asked the price. The seller told her. "What?" she said. She looked very surprised. "So 16 ?" The seller looked terribly 17 . "My dear lady!" he replied. "I'm a poor, 18 farmer. These are the cheapest tomatoes on the market!" They always argued for several minutes before agreeing 19 a price. My mother took her tomatoes and left. Both buyer and seller were 20 . The drama was over. | ||||

| The mobile phone has been a part of our lives since the 1980s. It enables us to stay in contact with our family and friends at all times and in most areas. However, because of the quick acceptance and extensive usage of mobiles in our lives, we have missed out on an important step, namely, the appropriate (恰当的) use. Driving a car Do not use your phone while you are driving! You could concentrate on your conversation and forget to look where you are going, or you could take your eyes off the road to look at the phone's display or to press in a number. Either way, you could cause a terrible accident. In a restaurant There is probably nothing more annoying than a diner receiving or making a call near you when you are in a restaurant. The icy glares (冷眼) you receive should be warning enough that it is not appreciated. Turn your phone off and use your message service to return calls after you leave. At the cinema Do not give way to the desire to call a friend if the film is boring, or if you want to find out what happens. You could become the target of all the angry cinema customers. At the theatre There is no more icy glare than that of a theatre goer who has paid a lot of money to see a show and hears your phone playing a tone. It goes without saying that you will be seen as a socially unacceptable person in this situation. In hospitals This is probably the most important place to make sure your phone is switched off. Your phone can disturb life-saving electronic equipment in hospitals, so it is necessary that your phone is switched off before you enter. On planes Your phone might disturb navigational equipment and cause a horrible accident so you should switch it off before boarding a plane. |
| 1. According to the passage, the most annoying thing in a restaurant is that _____. |
| A. you receive icy glares B. a nearby diner is answering a phone call C. you have to use the message service D. you can not return calls until after you leave |

Passengers should switch off the phones before getting on a plane. D. Pressing in phone numbers when driving could lead to traffic accidents. |
| 3. The passage mainly describes _____. |
| A. different functions of mobile phones B. the overuse of mobile phones on some occasions C. some areas where message service is forbidden D. the proper use of mobile phones in some public places |
| 4. What does the underlined word "concentrate on" mean in the article? It means _____. |

| About ten men in every hundred suffer from color blindness in some way. Women are luckier; only about one in two hundred is affected in this matter, Perhaps, after all, it is safer to be driven by a woman! There are different forms of color blindness. In some cases a man may not be able to see deep red. He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shadows of green. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green-a strange world indeed. Color blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. In a single eye there are millions of very small things called "cones" (圆锥细胞). These help us to see in a bright light and to tell the difference between colors. There are also millions of "rods" (棒条体), but these are used for seeing when it is near dark. They show us shape but no color. Some insects have favorite colors. Mosquitoes (蚊子) prefer blue to yellow. A red light will not attract insects, but a blue lamp will. In a similar way human beings also have favorite colors. Yet we are lucky. With the aid of the cones in our eyes we tan see many beautiful colors by day, and with the aid of the rods we can see shapes at night. One day we may even learn more about the invisible (看不见的) colors around us. |

| A. Women are more careful. B. There are fewer color-blind women. C. Women are fonder of driving than men. D. Women are weaker but quicker in thinking. |

| A. Not all of them have the same problem in recognizing color. B. None of them can see deep red. C. None of them can tell the difference between blue and green. D. All of them see everything in shades of green. |

| My wife passed away a few years ago, and I went through the worst time in my life. I even wanted to kill myself. Just for kids, I had to continue to live and work as small-town doctor at my medical clinic in Hawaii. My kids had gone to live on the mainland, and I was alone. Then they asked me to have a family trip. On our trip, we turned on the TV at the motel and saw the second plane crash into the World Trade Center. Seeing it falling down, I said to my kids:"I'm going to Afghanistan". And a few weeks later, international Medical Corps sent me to set up 20 clinics in provinces where people had no health care. In these field clinics surrounded by frightening shoots or deadly bombs, we were eventually serving 27,000 patients a month in a very busy schedule. Tired and nervous, I gradually had a sense of achievement, a sense of purpose, and my depression went away. In the years to follow, I went to Indonesia after the tsunami, Pakistan after the earthquakes, Sudan after the civil warm and Iraq after more and more bombs. Each time after disasters one after another, hundreds of people were killed, wounded and many more had to flee. We once set up movable clinics in an area with 19,000 refugees, and it was supposed to hold 13,000 originally. Flu broke out, one of the biggest killers of kids in refugee camps, and it spread like wildfire. Water and food were also serious problems."Adventures or not?" I often asked myself. When my wife passed away, I thought my life was done. But in reality, it was just getting started. At the end of her life, she went unconscious. I held her head in my hands and told her of all the places we would visit and the exciting adventures we would have. I think about the moment many times during my "adventures". I didn't know how predictive those words would be. But I know that she is still with me. |
| 1. Where has the doctor been in the past few years? |
| A. Some countries where he could set up clinics. B. Some African countries where flu broke out. C. The places where the earthquakes happened. D. The places that the horrible disasters struck. |
| 2. How would the doctor describe his life after he had worked in Afghanistan? |
| A. Tired and troublesome. B. Busy and risky. C. Meaningful and helpful D. Frightening and depressing. |
| 3. The underlined word "refugees" means people ______. |
| A. who are robbed, killed, or wounded B. who suffer from flu in movable clinics C. who like to take adventures D. who have lost homes because of disasters. |
| 4. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? |
| A. the doctor's wife encouraged him to work in foreign countries. B. What the doctor said to his wife before her death became reality. C. The doctor's adventures made him understand the love of his wife. D. With the true love of his wife, the doctor started to change his life. |

| A boy was born to a couple after eleven years of marriage. They were a loving couple and loved the boy very much. When the boy was around two years old, one morning the husband saw a medicine bottle open. He was late for office so he asked his wife to cap the bottle and put it back into the cupboard in the bathroom. However, his wife, busy in the kitchen, totally forgot the matter. The boy saw the bottle and playfully went to the bottle fascinated by its color and drank it all. It happened to contain a kind of medicine for adults with poisonous and side effects. When the child broke down, the mother hurried him to the hospital. But he finally died. The mother was shocked. She was terrified how she was going to face her husband. When the desperate father came to the hospital and saw the dead child, he looked at his wife and voiced just five words. The husband just said "I am with you, Darling". The husband's totally unexpected reaction is a positive behavior. The child is dead. He can never be brought back to life. There is no point in finding fault with the mother. Besides, if only he had taken time to keep the bottle away, this would not have happened. No one is to be blamed. she had also lost her only child. What she needed at that moment was comfort and sympathy from the husband. That is what he gave her. If evervone can look at life with this kind of viewpoint, there would be much fewer problems in the world. Take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness, and fears and you will find things are actually not as difficult as you think. Sometimes we spend time asking who is responsible or whom to blame, whether in a relationshlp, in a job or with the people we know. By this way we miss out some warmth in human relationship. |

| "It hurts me more than you." and "This is for your own good." These are the statements my mother used to make years ago when I had to learn Latin, clean my room, stay home and do homework. That was before we entered the permissive period in education in which we decided it was all right not to push our children to achieve their best in school. The schools and the educators made it easy for us. They thought that it was right to be parents who take a let alone policy. We stopped making our children do homework. We gave them calculators (计算器), turned on the television, left the teaching to the teachers and went on vacation. Now teachers, having taught many children who have been developing at their own step for the past 15 years, are realizing we've made a terrible mistake. Sharon Klompus is such a teacher who thinks her students "so passive" and wonders what happened. Nothing was demanded of them. She believes that Television contributes to children's passivity. "We're not training kids to work anymore," says Klompus. "We're talking about a generation of kids who've never been hurt or hungry. They have learned somebody will always do it for them. Instead of saying 'go and look it up', you tell them the answer. It takes greater energy to say no to a kid." Yes, it does. It takes energy and it takes work. It's time for parents to end their vecation and come back to work. It's time to take the car away, to turn the TV off, to tell them it hurts you more than them but it's for their own good. It's time to start telling them no again. |

| The rise of the so-called "boomerang generation (回巢族)" is reported in official figures showing that almost one in five graduates in their late 20s now live with their parents. By contrast, only one in eight university graduates had failed to fly the nest by the same age 20 years ago, research from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) shows. It also found that grown-up sons are twice as likely as their sisters to still be living with their parents in their late 20s. With nearly a quarter of men approaching 30 still living at home, the findings are bound to lead to claims of a "generation of mummy's boys". Rising housing prices, increasing student debts and the effects of depression on the job market have forced a wave of young people to move back into the family home at an age when they would normally _____. Young professionals in their late 20s or early 30s have been called the"boomerang generation" because of the trend toward returning to the family home. Recent research has suggested that young people in Britain are twice as likely to choose to live with their parents in their late 20s than their counterparts elsewhere in Europe. But experts warned that the phenomenon may have more to do with young people facing dark future than simply a desire to save money. While the percentage of those of university or college age moving out from the family home has continued to rise in the last 20 years, among those in their mid and late 20s the trend has reversed. Overall 1.7 million people aged from 22 to 29 now share a roof with their parents, including more than 760,000 in their late 20s, the ONS figures suggest. |

| Interviewer: "Marjorie Scardino, you are leading one of the top companies in the U.K., and you've been voted business woman of the year. What qualities do you need to run a large company effectively?" Marjorie Scardino: "Well, I think different companies probably require different qualities, but for me there are only a few simple qualities that cut across all requirements, and those are courage and imagination and empathy. And by empathy, I mean, having the ability to put yourself in other people's positions and understand how they feel about situations and ideas." Interviewer: "Which business leaders do you admire and why?" Marjorie Scardino: "I think the best business leaders are probably ones we don't know about, not the stars we read in the newspapers. I think they're probably the ones who have had a great business idea and have seen the desired result. So the business leaders I most admire right now are those managers in Pearson who are achieving our goals of double-digit earnings growth." Interviewer: "What do business leaders actually do?" Marjorie Scardino: "My staff would probably say this was a really excellent question they ask themselves every day. I think what they do is just what I've said the business leaders I admire do. They create a business idea, and they see it through." Interviewer: "As a leader, how do you motivate your employees?" Marjorie Scardino: "I'd like to think we motivate each other. I think my job is to make sure the company has a purpose, because I think people like to work for a company that has a reason for being, that they can identify with and feel good about. I think that I have to communicate well with them everything that's going on and everything I'm trying to do in a clear way. And then in return I think they inspire me to think more adventurously and to think more carefully about how to inspire them and how to build a better business. So, it's sort of cooperation." Interviewer: "Do you think leaders are born or made?" Marjorie Scardino: "I think it's probably a bit of both. All human beings obviously are born with certain qualities, and certain common features. But I've seen so many people in my life who have, using those basic qualities, re-invented themselves several times as they've gone into new situations. You know, you're a certain kind of person when you're in school, and your friends know who you are. And then as you grow up you go into new situations and become somebody else. So, people who were never leaders in school become the great business leaders of our time. So, I would have to say, mostly it's made, but you have to use what you're born with." | ||||||||||||
