| Elena Kagan has reached a lifelong goal: becoming a Justice on the United States Supreme Court. The US Senate confirmed Kagan on Thursday by a vote of 63-37. She replaces Justice John Paul Stevens, who retired in June. Kagan will take a sacred oath (誓言) to uphold the Constitution of the United States on Saturday at a swearing-in ceremony. The new Justice will bring the number of women sitting on the nation's highest court to three. Kagan joins Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sonia Sotomayor-all three New Yorkers. Kagan is the fourth woman in history to sit on the Supreme Court. Justice Sandra Day O'Connor was the first female Justice. She was appointed by President Ronald Reagan and served from 1981to 2006. Kagan, who is 50 years old, is the second Justice appointed by President Barack Obama. (He appointed Justice Sotomayor in 2009.) Obama told reporters on Thursday that Kagan will make an " outstanding Justice who understands that her rulings affect people." He also noted that the addition of another woman to the Supreme Court marks a sign of progress for the country. Obama and Kagan will celebrate her confirmation with a ceremony at the White House today. Kagan has spent most of her adult life working with the law. She served in President Clinton's administration as a legal adviser, was the head of Harvard Law School, and until her confirmation Thursday, was the US Solicitor General-one of the most powerful lawyers in the federal government. Kagan was born in New York City. She grew up in an apartment on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, the strong-willed, independent middle sister sandwiched between two brothers. Kagan's mother was a public school teacher who taught fifth and sixth grades. Her father was a lawyer. The new Justice once wore a judge's robe in a picture for her high-school yearbook. Now she'll be wearing real ones as she and the other eight Justices decide some of the most important legal cases. |

| 2. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text? |
| A. To take the place of an old Justice, a Justice was elected by the Senate. B. There will be four women working in the United States Supreme Court. C. Kagan will take a sacred oath before taking in part in the election. D. No one but a New Yorker can be a Justice of the Supreme Court. |
| 3. What can we infer from Obama's words? |
| A. He will appoint more women Justices to the Supreme Court. B. He appointed Kagan as she had done a good job before. C. There is much to be improved on the Supreme Court. D. He is sure Kagan will be excellent in her new work. |
| 4. What is the main idea of paragraph 5? |

| Movie magic can defy reality, but actors are inescapably human.They grow and change, and don't necessarily change for the better. Harry Potter actors, who are now saying their final goodbyes to their roles, have all become fully-fledged (成熟的) grown-ups, worlds apart from the little kids who began the Hogwarts' adventures in 2001. While many fans feel sad that the magical franchise (特权) is coming to an end, some feel even sadder to see how much the actors have changed over the years. "Daniel Radcliffe (who plays Harry Potter) went from being a really cute kid to a thin, pale-looking guy," said Filipino Internet User Lealuvy."I kind of wish he stayed a kid forever.'' Radcliffe himself doesn't seem to be bothered by his change of appearance. In an interview with GQ magazine last week, he teased himself: "If people find me sexy or cool, it's because they like short, little, nerdy guys. And we do have our niche (合适的职业)." Meanwhile, actors growing up to be handsome have their headaches. Harry Melling, who played Potter's cousin Dudley Dursley, told The Telegraph that he was almost recast for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows when producers discovered he' d lost a lot of weight he had as a kid. He was too thin for the part. "They (the producers) did this double take, 'Oh my God, we are going to have to do something', and I felt guilty," said Meiling. Aside from changes in looks, the gradual personality change of child stars is another big concern of audience and producers. Miley Cyrus began her career at 13 in Disney's hit TV series Hannah Montana. When Cyrus decided to show her adult personality by releasing "sexy" photos, people began to get uneasy about her. Reports said that furious Disney bosses were considering replacing Cyrus with a more clean-cut teen star. Cyrus finally kept her role after public apologies. But some parents banned their children watching the show. "My daughter has been banned from watching the show," supermodel Cindy Crawford told Showbiz Spy." I really don't think Miley Cyrus is much of a role model for my kid." |
| l. The underlined word "defy" in Paragraph 1 means "_____". |
| A. challenge B. control C. clarify D. abandon |
| 2.Which one is TRUE according to the passage? |
| A. Actors always grow and change for the better. B. Daniel Radcliffe can't escape from being a kid. C. Some fans feel sad about the ending of the film series and the actors' changes. D. Harry Melling was too thin to recast for the film. |
| 3. Radcliffe doesn't feel bothered by his change of appearance because _____. |
| A. people think him sexy or cool B. people like short, little, nerdy guys C. he thinks he grows up to be handsome D. some people do think such a boy as him is sexy |
| 4. What do audience and producers concern about? |
| A. The actors' changes in appearances and gradual personality. B. The actors' weight. C. Whether the producers did the double take. D. Whether the actors are sexy or clean-cut. |
| 5.We can infer that _____ from the story of Miley Cyrus. |
| A. Miley Cyrus decided to change her sexy adult personality later on B. Disney bosses prefer pure teen stars to sexy adults in their movies C. parents prevented their children from watching her show D. Cindy Crawford is a supermodel, who has a daughter |

| I've been writing for most of my life. The book Writing Without Teachers introduced me to one distinction (区别) and one practice that has helped my writing processes tremendously. The distinction is between the creative mind and the critical mind. While you need to employ both to get to a finished result, they cannot work in parallel no matter how much we might like to think so. Trying to criticize writing on the fly is possibly the single greatest barrier to writing that most of us encounter. If you are listening to that 5th grade English teacher correct your grammar while you are trying to capture a fleeting (稍纵即逝的) thought, the thought will die. If you capture the fleeting thought and simply share it with the world in raw form, no one is likely to understand. You must learn to create first and then criticize if you want to make writing the tool for thinking that it is. The practice that can help you past your learned bad habits of trying to edit as you write is what Elbow calls "free writing." In free writing, the objective is to get words down on paper non-stop, usually for 15-20 minutes. No stopping, no going back, no criticizing. The goal is to get the words flowing. As the words begin to flow, the ideas will come from the shadows and let themselves be captured on your notepad or your screen. Now you have raw materials that you can begin to work with using the critical mind that you've persuaded to sit on the side and watch quietly. Most likely, you will believe that this will take more time than you actually have and you will end up staring blankly at the pages as the deadline draws near. Instead of staring at a blank start filling it with words no matter how bad. Halfway through your available time, stop and rework your raw writing into something closer to finished product. Move back and forth until you run out of time and the final result will most likely be far better than your current practices. |
| 1. When the author says the creative mind and the critical mind "cannot work in parallel" in the writing process, he means . |
| A. one cannot use them at the same time B. they cannot be regarded as equally important C. they are in constant conflict with each other D. no one can be both creative and critical |
| 2. What prevents people from writing on is . |
| A. putting their ideas in raw form B. ignoring grammatical soundness C. attempting to edit as they write D. trying to capture fleeting thoughts |
| 3. What is the chief objective of the first stage of writing? |
| A. To organize one's thoughts logically. B. To get one's ideas down. C. To choose an appropriate topic. D. To collect raw materials. |
| 4.One common concern of writers about "free writing" is that . |
| A. it overstresses the role of the creative mind B. it does not help them to think clearly C. it may bring about too much criticism D. it takes too much time to edit afterwards |
| 5. In what way does the critical mind help the writer in the writing process? |
| A. It allows him to sit on the side and observe. B. It helps him to come up with new ideas. C. It saves the writing time available to him. D. It improves his writing into better shape. |

| Studies have shown that the fewer medicines a person has to take the more likely he or she will take them. Last week, a study was released about a new treatment that combines 5 medicines for heart disease in one pill. Salim Yusuf of McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada was the lead investigator. He presented the findings at the American College of Cardiology Conference in Orlando, Florida. The experimental drug is known as Polycap. It contains aspirin, a drug to lower cholesterol (胆固醇) and three medicines to lower blood pressure. The study was carried out at 50 health centers across India. More than two thousand people between the ages of 45 and 80 took part in the study. All had at least one risk factor for heart disease. These include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes or being severely overweight. The people were divided into 9 groups of about 200 people each. One group took Polycap. The other groups took either a single drug or different combinations of the medicines in the Polycap pill. The study showed that Polycap lowered blood pressure and cholesterol without many side effects. Doctor Yusuf said the single pill, taken once a day, could reduce the average person's risk of heart disease and stroke by about half. The maker of Polycap, Cadila Pharmaceuticals of India, paid for the study. Cardiovascular diseases (心血管疾病) of the heart and blood vessels are the number one cause of death around the world. These diseases kill more than seventeen million people every year. 80 percent of them are in low and middle income countries. Doctor Yusuf said the single pill treatment could revolutionize heart disease prevention. People would be more likely to take one pill a day than many pills. And one pill would cost less than several pills. Other heart doctors say heart disease prevention is important but not necessarily with pills. They say patients might be able to get the same results with changes in diet and exercise. Doctors say that more research on Polycap is needed. They say the drug should be tested on thousands more people, including those in different risk, age and ethnic groups. |
| 1. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 implies that people . |
| A. don' t like to take medicines B. tend to take fewer medicines C. should take medicines if it is necessary D. tend to fall sick if they take fewer medicines |
| 2. Which of the following about Doctor Ysisuf's experiment on Polycap in India is True? |
| A. Polycap was tested for its five different combinations. B. Polycap was proved basically safe and effective. C. All the participators had at least one symptom of heart disease. D. Participators were required to come from different ages and ethnic groups, |
| 3. From the passage, we can infer that Polycap_ . |
| A. is generally accepted by heart doctors B. mainly consists of medicines to lower blood pressure C. is certain to play important role in heart disease prevention D. will be cheaper than other common medicines to treat heart disease |
| 4. According to the passage, the following people are more likely to get Cardiovascular disease except . |
| A. old people B. low - income people C. overweight people D. diabetic people |
| 5. What would be the best title for the passage? |
| A. Different opinions about heart disease prevention. B. A combination pill may cut heart disease risk in half. C. A combination pill cures blood pressure and bad cholesterol. D. Cardiovascular diseases are the number one killer in the world. |

| [1]Why can't I get it done? [2] This is one question millions of people over the globe ask themselves every now and then. It is not as if you are not working hard, but you simply may not know that there is a difference between work and productivity. Your plan is what gives you a clear picture of what you are aiming at, but the method of achieving may vary from time to time. That you did not meet up with a deadline does not mean you were not working on it. The problem is whether you will be able to manage time. [3] Before you start on the next activity, task or project, first ask yourself why you want to do what you are about to do now. You will by this be able to know if the task should be done, and if the timing is right. [4] Doing the right thing at the wrong time makes it absolutely wrong. So it is not just enough to do what is right, also consider . Your time has value, when you spend it on what is right at that instance. On the other hand, the value of your task is when it is done at the right time. [5] You will feel sorry about the time spent on what was not profitable to you. Time can not be wasted, because it can not be preserved and replaced. You are always doing something with your time. What matters is the value of what you are doing at the moment with your time. [6] The desire to make a difference begins with the ability to take the right decision on what to do. It will become simple if you learn to manage time effectively. |
