| "Imagine you are walking along the road. Suddenly you fall over and all the passers-by burst into laughter. You feel very 1 and think the world is laughing at you. But in fact, five minutes later, they have 2 it ever happened." The other day when I came across these words in an article, I didn't agree with the 3 . The author thinks the best thing to do in this kind of 4 is to pretend nothing has happened, and so avoid 5 trouble. I admit that we should keep 6 because "Your tears will only remind others of what happened, while your 7 can let them forget it." But this is far from satisfactory. We should do 8 to make things better. I used to be a(n) 9 girl and not very good at maths. Our new maths teacher asked me a question and I still remember how I hung my head in 10 when I couldn't answer it. "If you don't know the answer, just tell me." the teacher said, "If you don't, how can I know 11 you know the answer or not?" All of my classmates burst into laughter. My face turned red but the teacher 12 me to go to the blackboard and 13 what I knew. If I had 14 the words in the article, I would have given up. But I tried my best. And to everyone's 15 , I succeeded! The teacher smiled and said, "Well done! I 16 you could do it!" Since then, I have become active in maths as 17 as in other subjects. I used to think doing maths exercises was a waste of time. But now, I know 18 I do can make things better. Everyone is the 19 of his own fate. If we make mistakes, we should take on an active 20 . Laugh, and the world laughs with you; weep, and you weep alone. | ||||

| Even with hit shows such as "Desperate Housewives" and "Grey's Anatomy," ABC is tightening its belt as it weathers the U.S. economic downturn and tries to remain relevant in an industry challenged by digital entertainment. "We are in one of worst economies in 70 years. We are looking at everything we can possibly do to be more efficient and more effective," ABC Entertainment president Steve McPherson told reporters on Friday. "We have to look at everything across the board from cost cutting to (using) other platforms for smart ways to broker our efforts. It is an ongoing process. It is not a one time thing." McPherson, attending the networks' semi-annual presentation to critics, said last year's five month strike by Hollywood screenwriters had "really hurt everybody" in the traditional television industry, and he acknowledged the networks had lost viewers to other forms of entertainment. "The world has changed under these businesses and we need to be incredibly diligent and confident in what we do, otherwise we will be left by the wayside." he said. "Tomorrow is here, now, and we really need to figure it out now and move forward." ABC, a unit of Walt Disney Co, has lost about 9.7 percent of its prime time audience in the 2008-9 season compared with the same stage last year. With the exception of current ratings leader CBS, the other two major U.S. networks Fox and NBC have also lost similar percentages since the 2008-9 season started last September. McPherson said he hoped ABC would continue to "take chances" on shows such as "Lost" and "Dancing with the Stars" that were seen as daring when they were shown for the first time. But recent new entries, such as "Pushing Daisies," "Eli Stone" and "Dirty Sexy Money," failed to resonate with viewers and were canceled. Despite the growing trend of watching television on iPods, on the Internet and on mobile phones, McPherson said ABC's main focus remained on broadcast. "We are still a broadcast network and that is where our profits come from. The other platforms are important. But people ask "Would we do a show that would be successful on the Internet as opposed to on broadcast? ... and those are always secondary thoughts," he added. 1. The main idea of the passage is about__________. A. the strike of Hollywood screenwriters B. the decline of ABC's prime time audience C. ABC's feeling economic, digital pressure D. ABC's main focus on broadcast 2. The 3rd paragraph suggests to us that__________. A. cutting cost is the best way to recover from economic downturn B. the economic situation is so serious that it will last long C. using other smart way can develop the ongoing process D. sparing no effort can complete the ongoing process 3 .McPherson's attitude towards ABC's future is full of__________. A. doubt B. confidence C. worry D. hope |

| You are only as old as you feel, it is said. But soon scientists will be able to calculate your real "physiological (生理的) age". Researchers studying genes believe they can now tell exact physiological age by looking at a number of clues in DNA. They don't have to ask people how they feel or look at their appearance. The breakthrough could solve the mystery of why some 70-year-olds function at the level of those in their 50s, while others become weak sooner than you would think. The researchers made the breakthrough by finding the "biomarkers" of aging in tiny worms. The worms they studied had an average lifespan (寿命) of three weeks. Like humans, some remain lively much longer than other similarly-aged worms, while others show signs of premature aging. By genetically profiling (基因识别) 104 different worms at various ages, the researchers found a group of genes that are involved in the aging process. 'This is a first step; our results were not perfect, but we were able to predict the ages of the animals 70 percent of the time, which is far better than anything that has been done before," said Simon Melov, the lead researcher at Buck Institute for Age Research in California. Now they want to extend their studies to mice and eventually humans. "I am confident that at some point there will be a non-subjective method of determining how old someone is with a high level of confidence," said Melov. The speed at which people age depends on a number of things including genetic inheritance (遗传), lifestyle and mental health. Determining chronological (按时间顺序的) age in both worms and humans is easy - count forward from birth. But determining physiological age has remained subjective ? based on how someone looks or functions. The findings have major implications for age research in humans. Examining biomarkers over time would provide a scientific basis for anti-aging medicines. The technology would also provide a means of determining whether a person is aging faster or slower than people would normally think. 1. How can researchers tell one's exact physiological age? A. By looking at their appearance. B. By asking people how they feel. C. By looking at a number of clues in DNA. D. By finding the "biomarkers" of aging in tiny worms. 2. What did the researchers base their survey on as their first breakthrough? A. Humans. B. Worms. C. Mice. D. Lifespan. 3. The researchers found__________. A. some 70-year-olds function become weak sooner than expected. B. anyone was as old as he was feeling. C. a group of genes were involved in the aging process. D. the speed at which people age only depends on their genetic inheritance. 4. What is the best title of the passage? A. Genetically profiling B. Find your true age C. Worms and humans D. Research in humans |

| Everyone's at it, even my neighbors. I thought I might be the only person left in the world who hadn't done an eBay deal. So I decided to try my hand at online auction (网上拍卖). Buying for beginners: Sign up on www.eBay.co.uk. Most items (e.g. tables, computers, and books) ready for auction will come with a picture and a short description; others may be marked with "Buy It Now" and have a fixed price. You can buy these right away. If the item is being auctioned, you offer the highest price you are prepared to pay and eBay bids(出 价)for you .The bid will be increased little by little until it goes beyond your highest bid, then you are emailed and asked if you would like to bid again. Auctions last up to 10 days, and when they finish you get an e-mail telling you whether you have won the item. How to pay: Sellers decide how they would like to be paid and you need to check this before placing a bid as you might not want to post a cheque or postal orders. The easiest way is through PayPal, an online payment system that takes the money away from your credit card(信用卡). Selling made simple: If you plan to sell on eBay, it helps to include a picture of the item. I followed my friends' advice and put up the items I wanted to sell for a 10-day auction, starting on a Thursday. This way buyers had two weekends to bid. The big things in life: It's easy to post a small item, but furniture is a big part of eBay and this has to be collected or sent by deliverymen. Check the ways of delivery before you bid. 1. What is the passage mainly about? A. How to make payment online. B. Ways of making delivery online. C. How to use an online-auction system. D. Advantages of an online auction system. 2. After bidding for an item, a buyer_________. A. can't buy other items any more B. should make payment immediately C. must give your credit card to the seller D. has chances to make higher bids 3. You should if the item is being auctioned. A. make loud noises B. offer the highest price you are ready to pay C. ask the other people's price D. get the others not to bid 4. The easiest way of making payment mentioned in the passage is________. A. through a local bank system B. through an online payment system C. by sending the money to the seller D. by paying the delivery man directly |

| Calling the future When American inventor Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone in 1876, it was a revolution in communication. For the first time, people could talk to each other over great distances. Over the last two decades a new means of spoken communication has appeared: the mobile phone. The mobile phone is like a two-way radio. But the two-way radio is a limited means of communication. As soon as the users move out of range of each other's broadcast area, the signal is lost . In the 1940s, researchers experimented with the idea of using a number of radio masts (无线电杆) to pick up signals from two-way radios. A caller would always be within range of one of the masts. When he or she moved too far away from one mast, the next mast would pick up the signal. (Scientists referred to each mast's reception area as being a "cell". This is why in many countries mobile phones are called "cellphones".) However, 1940s' technology was just at the beginning. The "mobile phones" were huge boxes. They had to be moved by car. The first real mobile telephone call was made in 1973 by Dr Martin Cooper. As soon as his invention was complete, he tested it by calling a rival (竞争对手) scientist to announce his success. Within a decade, mobile phones became available to the public. They have changed the way we do a lot of things. One powerful feature is: the short message service (SMS) or text message. It's the perfect communication method for the busy modern lifestyle. The text message has changed the way we write in English. The language construction became more lax (松散 的). Traditional rules of grammar and spelling are much less important. Over the last few years mobiles have become more and more advanced. We have seen the introduction of cameras, global positioning system and Internet access. Alexander Graham Bell would be surprised if he could see how far the science of the telephone has developed in less than 150 years. If he were around today, he might say: '''That's gr8! But I'm v busy rite now. Will call U 2nite.' 1. The article is intended to_______. A. warn people of the possible risks in using mobile phones B. predict the applications of mobile phones C. convince people of the uses of mobile phones D. inform readers of the history and benefits of mobile phones 2. What's the CORRECT time order about the development of communication? a. the telephone invented by Alexander Graham Bell b. "mobile phones" with very large boxes c. mobile telephone call made by Dr Martin Cooper d. mobiles with cameras, GPS and Internet access A. a, c, b, d B. b, a,, c, d C. a, b, c, d D. a, c, d, b 3.The last sentence of the whole passage ''That's gr8! But I'm v busy rite now. Will call U 2nite." May probably means________. A. It's eight now. I'm very busy. (I) Will call you tonight B. That's great! But I'm very busy right now. (I) Will call you tonight C. That's great! But I'm busy writing now. (I) Will call you at two tonight D. "8" is great! But I'm very busy right now. (I) Will call it "U" to night 4.What do you think of the author according to the last paragraph? A. Worried. B. Ironic. C. Kind. D. Humorous. |

When you're well organized, you can stay focused, instead of spending time hunting things down. 1 For schoolwork, it means having one notebook or place where you store all your assignments, so you know what you have to do and when. Keeping labeled folders(贴有标签的文件夹) for handouts(课堂讲义)and keeping all your schoolwork neat and in a specific place-these are the main parts of organization. For home stuff, being organized means having a place to put your things and putting them back as you go. 2 It means keeping your schoolbag, your shoes, and your clean underwear in the same places so you always know where to find them. Planning is part of being organized, too. 3 Calendars, lists, and schedules can help you plan. You can buy or draw a calendar and keep it near your workplace. Making a schedule or "to-do" list for yourself is a good idea. Looking at your list helps you keep track of what you need to do. 4 Check off things when you've done them. Use your list to help you decide which thing is most important to work on first. 5 But once you're organized, it feels great. The less time you spend hunting around for things or panicking about homework, the more time you have for better things, like reading a good book or playing. A. Add new things as you get assignments. B. First, you should get your schoolwork organized. C. It means hanging your coat up instead of dropping it on the floor or throwing it on a chair D. It takes some extra efforts to organize yourself and your stuff. E. Planning means deciding what you will do and when you will do it. F. You will benefit a lot from a good habit. G. What does it mean to be organized? |
| 短文改错 Why are cars widely use in America? There are three reasons. I think, the first of all, the country is very large and Americans enjoy make trips here and there. With cars they can go everywhere. The second reason is what trains have never been as common in the US than they are in other parts of the world. What's worse, Americans have to spend a lot of money travels by plane. The third reason is most important one. Americans don't like waiting forbuses or trains and even planes. They like cars because they want to travel fast at some time to some places. ____________________________________________________________________ |
