         One evening I went out and left my 17-year-old son and his girlfriend in charge of his 8-year-old
    brother and 4-year-old sister. I left with complete confidence that the older children would do a
    wonderful job of babysitting the younger children. Later, I discovered that I was completely wrong.
         I had decided to return home earlier than planned so that my son and his girlfriend could go out. I
    called home with this happy news.But instead of hearing his cheerful, grateful voice on the other end
    of the line, allI heard was the sound of a telephone ringing.
         It was, I should point out, after 10 p.m., when the two younger children should have been in bed,
    and when the two older children should have been answering the phone. "I'll give him a lesson, " I said.
    I decided they must be outside. Why they might be outside at 10:30 on a winter night I had no idea,
    but it was the only explanation I could come up with.
         Finally, in desperation (绝望), I called his girlfriend's house. His girlfriend answered. "Yes," she said
    brightly, "He's right here."
         He came on the phone.I was not my usual calm, patient.After all, one of the rules of survival for
    modern parents is that you can't trust modern teenagers. "Where are the children?" I said. He said they
    were with him. They had done nothing wrong. My son had taken the younger children over to his girlfriend's house just for ice cream and cake. Well, it turns out that I shouldn't have believed it. It was only part
    of the truth.
          The following Saturday evening we were at my parents' home, celebrating my birthday. My oldest
    son gave me the children's gifts-a series of lovely color photographs of my children, dressed in their best
    clothes, and wearing their most wonderful expressions. They are pictures to treasure a lifetime, all taken
    by the father of my son's girlfriend.
    1. The author went out and left her eldest son in charge of the younger children because _____.
    A. she knew that his girlfriend was a good baby-sitter
    B. she believed he could take good care of the younger ones with the help of his girlfriend
    C. the older children have always loved the younger ones
    D. she could not find a baby-sitter on that winter night
    2. Shortly after the author left home one evening, she discovered that _____.
    A. her son had brought his girlfriend home    
    B. her son had left home with his girlfriend
    C. she shouldn't have completely trusted her son  
    D. she should have taken the children along with her
    3. "It was only part of the truth." implies that the children not only enjoyed ice-cream but also _____.
    A. had their pictures taken
    B. received some gifts
    C. had a birthday party  
    D. showed off their best clothes

         A British train station has put up a no kissing sign to stop lovers going full steam ahead with their
    overamorous farewells.
         Commuters (通勤者,每日往返上班者) have been told: if you want to get up to that kind of
    business, do it in the car park.
         The sign has been put up at the dropoff point (落客处) at Warrington Bank Quay station in the
    town of Warrington, between Liverpool and Manchester in northwest England.
         A similar sign, this time permitting kissing, has been put up elsewhere in a zone where kissing is
    considered tolerable.
         "We have not banned kissing in the station," said a spokesman for operators Virgin Rail.
         "But we have put the sign up at the dropoff point because it is not a very big area and it often gets
    busy. The sign is a lighthearted way of reminding people to move on quickly. If people wish to spend
    a little more time with their loved ones before they leave, then they should park in the shortstay car park
    nearby."
         The busy station links the town with the major cities London, Birmingham,Glasgow, Edinburgh,
    Liverpool and Manchester.
         However,one station is trying to rescue love from the tracks. High Wycombe,northwest of London,
    is having none of it and is actively urging commuters to show their emotions in public.
         "Kissing is welcome here!...we would never dream of banning kissing," says a poster of a cartoon
    couple embracing, framed by a pink heart. "Railway stations are romantic places," insisted Kirsteen
    Robertson from Chiltern Railways. "They are where fond farewells and emotional reunions take place,
    where relationships start with a glance and even, in the case of our Marylebone station last November
    where one passenger will propose (求婚) to another over the public address system."
         "So our passengers are more than welcome to share a kiss in our stations."
    1. The train station has put up a no kissing sign in order to _____.
    A. ban kissing in the station
    B. get passengers to walk quickly
    C. avoid embarrassment
    D. prevent illegal practice
    2. The underlined word "it" here refers to _____.
    A. rescuing love from the tracks  
    B. banning kissing in the station
    C. farewell kisses between lovers
    D. kissing in the car park
    3. We learn that in High Wycombe _____.
    A. kissing is encouraged
    B. kissing is forbidden
    C. kissing is intolerable
    D. kissing is limited to a certain time
    4. We can infer that _____.
    A. the dropoff point is not a safe place
    B. the dropoff point is a quiet place
    C. the dropoff point is a romantic place
    D. the dropoff point is often packed with the traffic and passengers

                                                The Diet Zone: A Dangerous Place
       Diet Coke, diet Pepsi, diet pills, no-fat diet, vegetable diet… We are surrounded by the word "diet"
    everywhere we look and listen. We have so easily been attracted by the promise and potential of diet
    products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. We are paying for
    products that harm us psychologically and physically.
       Diet products significantly weaken us psychologically. On one level, we are not allowing our brain to
    admit that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the consumption
    (消耗) of fatty, high-calorie, unhealthy foods. Diet products allow us to jump over the thinking stage
    and go straight for the scale(秤)instead. All we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word "diet" in
    food labels (标签).
       On another level, diet products have greater psychological effects. Every time we have a zero-calorie
    drink, we are telling ourselves without our awareness that we don't have to work to get results. Diet
    products make people believe that gain comes without pain, and that life can be without resistance (抵
    抗) and struggle.
       The danger of diet products lies not only in the psychological effects they have on us, but also in the
    physical harm that they cause. Diet foods can indirectly harm our bodies because consuming them
    instead of healthy foods means we are preventing our bodies from having basic nutrients (营养成分).
    Diet foods and diet pills contain zero calorie only because the diet industry has created chemicals to
    produce these wonder products. Diet products may not be nutritional, and the chemical that go into
    diet products are potentially dangerous.
       Now that we are aware of the effects that diet products have on us, it is time to seriously think about
    buying them. Losing weight lies in the power of minds, not in the power of chemicals. Once we realize
    this, we will be much better able to resist diet products, and therefore prevent the psychological harm
    that comes from using them.
    1. From Paragraph 1, we learn that _____.
    A. diet products fail to bring out people's potential
    B. people have difficulty in choosing diet products
    C. diet products are misleading people
    D. people are fed up with diet products
    2. One psychological effect of diet products is that people tend to _____.
    A. try out a variety of diet foods
    B. hesitate before they enjoy diet foods
    C. pay attention to their own eating habits
    D. watch their weight rather than their diet
    3. In Paragraph 3, "gain comes without pain" probably means _____.
    A. losing weight is effortless
    B. it costs a lot to lose weight
    C. diet products bring no pain
    D. diet products are free from calories
    4. Diet products indirectly harm people physically because such products _____.
    A. are over-consumedB. lack basic nutrients
    C. are short of chemicalsD. provide too much energy

         In times of economic downturn, many people start to look for ways to reduce their household budget

    store discounts can lead to major savings.
         Turn off the lights and other electronics in your home when you are not using  them.   4   Leaving
    electronics on can use a tremendous amount of extra energy, costing you money.
      5   When you do have to go out, look for available deals and discounts. If you are a frequent restaurant
    diner, consider purchasing a guide book for local restaurants, which will help you save money.
    A. Eat at home as often as possible.

         In recent years many flowers shops have been appeared in our small town. It
    is common for people to buy flowers when they go to a gathering, visiting a sick
    friend, or attend a wedding or birthday party. I still remember clear one day last year
    when Tom, a disabled student, presenting some flowers to his mother to express
