         English is a very interesting language. It has borrowed words from many other languages. Immigrants(移民) coming into the United States have contributed many words to the language, which have kept
    their original pronunciation. "Coolie" and "kowtow" were taken from the Chinese language, "kamikaze
    from the Japanese, "shampoo" from India, "blitz" from German, "amigo" and "Los Angeles" from Spanish
    and so on.
         Many students have studied English for years, some as many as eight. However, some students still
    have difficulty in speaking fluent English. Some know many words but are unable to discern them when
    native speakers use them. In our Oral English classes we will focus on speaking and listening to native
    English speakers. For this reason, because we are trying to train your ears to hear English and your
    mouths to speak intelligible (易理解的) English, we will have a rule that ONLY ENGLISH will be
    spoken in our English classes. Anyone speaking Chinese in class will be required to pay a fine in order to
    encourage the speaking and understanding of English. If teachers enter a classroom and discover that
    anyone is speaking Chinese, they will require everyone in the room to pay the fine. It is everyone's job to
    enforce the English-Only rule. It is for your benefit. It is because we want to accustom (使习惯于) your
    ears to hearing English.
         Other subjects may be learned solely from books but the only way to learn a foreign language is to
    SPEAK IT! Students are often nervous about speaking in class at first but we hope to make the classes
    fun, so you will forget your nervousness and learn to speak out. Enjoy your classes.
    1.The first paragraph is mainly about________.
    A. the difficulty of learning English.
    B. how interesting and various English is
    C. different words in different languages
    D. the immigrants' contributions to America
    2.The underlined word "discern" in Para 2 can be replaced by___________.
    A. understand
    B. notice
    C. hear
    D. speak
    3. In the author's opinion , the only way to learn a language well is to__________.
    A. listen to it on the radio
    B. learn it from books
    C. play games with it
    D. speak it often
    4.The article is probably aimed at________.
    A. Japanese students
    B. German students
    C. Chinese students

    actress who began her career as a mature(成熟的) child actress.

         After we finished thirteen miles of hiking, we were tired and our muscles ached as we made our way
    back to New England. The car ride to the airport followed by a two-hour flight left our legs more worse
    condition than they were when we first came off the mountain we just climbed.
        When we heard that two seats in first class on our next flight were available for a bit higher price, we
    jumped at the opportunity. Our spirits lifted immediately. After all, flying first class was a new experience
    for us, and we would end our adventure in comfort and style.
         As we boarded the plane, we noticed that the stewardess(空姐) was working non-stop to ensure the
    comfort of the first class passengers. She could not walk by a seat without receiving an order. How much
    she must love her job! She smiled kindly at each one while attending to their needs.
         As the stewardess walked by our seats near the end of the flight, I looked at her and said, "Thank
    you and I hope you have a great night." She stopped, bent down, looked at me and said, "Excuse me." I
    repeated my words and she smiled in a rather funny way, almost as if I had asked her a question that she
    did not know how to answer.
         After a few moments she returned to our seats. "I can tell you work with the public," she said. "Why
    do you think so?" I asked. She answered very quietly, "Because you are the only passenger here to say
    something nice to me tonight and I really appreciate your kindness."
         The sense of belonging to the elite(精英) group of people in first class disappeared as we heard her
    words. Our first class seats offered us more than a comfortable ride. We were reminded that without
    kindness, we would be flying in no class.
    1. Where did the writer ever go hiking?
    A. In a forest
    B. In a mountain
    C. Along a river
    D. Near an airport
    2. Why did they choose to take a first class flight?
    A. Because they were extremely tired
    B. Because they wanted to go back as soon as possible
    C. Because the tickets were cheaper
    D. Because they wanted to enjoy the first class service.
    3. After boarding the plane, the writer felt_______.
    A. proud
    B. uncomfortable
    C. nervous
    D. disappointed
    4.When the stewardess first heard what the writer said, she_________.
    A. didn't understand the writer
    B. knew what work the writer did
    C. didn't believe her ears
    D. had a big smile on her face

         Autumn and winter are cold and flu seasons. Will the old advice about dressing warmly help prevent a
    cold, or if you get sick, should you follow the old saying, "feed a cold and starve a fever?" And what about that fever? Should you take medicine to reduce your temperature, or is it better to let the body treat the
    fever itself? Everyone seems to have an answer. But is popular wisdom valuable?
         Doctor Nelson knows a lot about cold and flu seasons. Nelson says research may be just starting to
    provide proofs for long-held beliefs. For example, scientists for years were against the idea that getting
    cold and wet might cause colds or flu. But recent studies have shown that cold temperatures cause stress
    on the body, and that stress can create conditions more inviting to viruses. So maybe it does make sense
    to wrap up warmly before going outside.
         And what about feeding a cold and starving a fever? Nelson says if you have a cold and are hungry,
    you should eat. But a fever, especially a high one, suggests a more serious problem. He says people are
    usually not hungry when they have a high fever. Eating might even make a person sick. But drinking
    enough water is important. A fever easily makes the body lose water.
         Finally, when should you treat a fever? Nelson says a fever should be treated if it stays at
    40℃ or above for a day or more. A high temperature can damage brain cells. The doctor also believes in
    treating a fever if it prevents a person from sleeping.
         Medicine like aspirin, for example, can be used to reduce pain and fever. But aspirin should not be given to children because it can cause serious problems.
    1.We can learn from the passage that Doctor Nelson________. 
    A. doesn't believe in the old advice about preventing colds
    B. is now trying his best to provide proofs for long-held beliefs.
    C. doesn't think it necessary to see a doctor immediately if a person has a temperature of 40℃
    D. doesn't think it necessary to treat a fever even if it prevents someone from sleeping.
    2. According to Doctor Nelson, if someone catches a fever, he should________.
    A. bathe in cold water
    B. drink enough water
    C. try to eat something
    D. take some exercise outside
    3.Which of the following is Not mentioned in the passage?
    A. When people should treat a fever
    B.  Whether the old advice about preventing a cold is valuable.
    C. What the medicine , aspirin, is used for.
    D. Why people should eat when having a cold.
    4.The passage suggests that_______.
    A. aspirin can damage train cells if an adult takes too much of it.
    B. it is easier for people to catch colds when their bodies are stressed.
    C. some old advice about preventing colds doesn't make any sense.
    D. the idea that getting cold can cause flu was proved true years ago.

         The health dangers of smoking have been well reported. For years, doctors have warned that
    smoking can cause lung cancer. Studies also have linked smoking to several other kinds of cancer,
    heart attacks and other diseases, lung diseases, and a number of other medical problems. The
    repeated health warnings have had an effect. Thousands of people have stopped smoking. But as
    many people have learned, stopping smoking can be very difficult.
         A major problem apparently is the nicotine, a poisonous substance found in tobacco. Small
    amounts of nicotine are released as tobacco is burned. And over many years of smoking, a person's
    body becomes dependent on the substance. A try to stop smoking brings the problems of nicotine
    withdrawal(脱瘾过程).
    American medical researchers have found that nicotine withdrawal causes people to become angry
    very easily, aggressive, worried and unable to think sharply. Many people who have tried to stop
    smoking would confirm those findings.
         To help people give up smoking, some tobacco companies have proposed chewing tobacco,
    or using snuff as safe substitutes(替代物). Snuff is a tobacco powder that usually is breathed in.
    But many people put it between their gum and cheek.
         A group of British scientists said recently that many lives could be saved by a major program to
    get cigarette smokers to change to snuff. An American scientist, Allan Blum, disagreed. Dr. Blum
    argued that snuff, put in the mouth, can cause gum disease, teeth problems and throat problems that
    lead to cancer. Dr. Blum also warned against chewing tobacco as a substitute for smoking. He said
    chewing tobacco can lead to cancer of the mouth, throat or digestive system.
         Medical researchers say another possible substitute for smoking is a special nicotine chewing gum.
    The gum is already sold in Europe and Canada. A report says research shows that the chewing gum
    will increase the amount of nicotine in a person's blood. This helps satisfy some people's desire for a
    cigarette. However, the report says, the chewing gum also leads to some unpleasant side effects. And
    it may be dangerous for people with heart problems.
         Two other American scientists say they have found that the most effective way to stop smoking is
    to do it completely, suddenly, all at once. The report by Saul Shirtman and Dr. Murray Jogbett says
    that by stopping all at once, the worst problems of nicotine withdrawal are over in just a few days. But,
    they say, by continuing to smoke, even a little less each day, the problems of withdrawal never end
    completely.
