| The new mayor of Hillsdale, Michigan, is a man of the people, ready to listen to their problems, but only until 6 p. m. Then he has to do his homework. Michael Sessions, 18, beat the former mayor Douglas Ingles,51, by just two votes and became the new mayor of Hillsdale. He is the youngest mayor of the US. As Sessions was too young to enter the election in the spring of 2005 , he registered to vote on Sept. 22, one day after his 18-year-old birthday. The day after that he started his write-in campaign(战役) , which means he should persuade voters to remember his name and write it by hand on the voting ballots(选票). To help get his name known, Sessions earned [paperlist3]nbsp;700 by selling apples over the summer. He spent the money on posters and put them on the Hillsdale's lawns. Sessions' month-long campaign included going door to door, explaining his ideas of the town's future in the kitchens of his neighbours. "They'd look at me, and say, ‘ How old are you? How much experience do you have?' And I say,’I'm still in high school' ," he said. Sessions promised Hillsdale's voters he would renew the local economy. "I was hopeful the whole time, "he explained. One day he spent so long out on the streets knocking on the doors that he ended up in a hospital emergency room. Sessions said that his schoolwork will not get in the way of his job as a mayor. "From 7:50 a. m. to 2:30 p. m. , I'll be a student. From 3 to 6, I'll be the mayor of Hillsdale," he said. "He did a very brave thing that couldn't have been easy for him to do, "said Jack Vetted, a councilman in Hillsdale, a city of 8,200 about 75 miles southwest of Detroit. "He does care about his town. He's been here all his life. " Sessions will receive [paperlist3]nbsp;3,600 a year during his four-year term, and will work out of his bedroom since the town does not provide the mayor with an office. |

| Almost every day we come across situations in which we have to make decisions one way or another. Choice, we are given to believe, is a right. But for a good many people in the world, in rich and poor countries, choice is a luxury, something wonderful but hard to get, not a right. And for those who think they are exercising their right to make choices, the whole system is merely an illusion, a false idea created by companies and advertisers hoping to sell their products. The endless choice gives birth to anxiety in people's lives. Buying something as basic as a coffee pot is not exactly simple. Easy access to a wide range of everyday goods leads to a sense of powerlessness in many people, ending in the shopper giving up and walking away, or just buying an unsuitable item (商品 ) that is not really wanted. Recent studies in England have shown that many electrical goods bought in almost every family are not really needed. More difficult decision-making is then either avoided or trussed into the hands of the professionals , lifestyle instructors, or advisors. It is not just the availability of the goods that is the problem, but the speed with which new types of products come on the market. Advances in design and production help quicken the process. Products also need to have a short life span so that the public can be persuaded to replace them within a short time. The typical example is computers, which are almost out-of-date once they are bought. This indeed makes selection a problem. Gone are the days when one could just walk with ease into a shop and buy one thing; no choice, no anxiety. |
| 1. What does the author try to argue in Paragraph 1 ? |
| A. The exercise of rights is a luxury. B. The practice of choice is difficult. C. The right of choice is given but at a price. D. Choice and right exist at the same time. |
| 2. Why do more choices of goods give rise to anxiety? |
| A. Professionals find it hard to decide on a suitable product. B. People are likely to find themselves overcome by business persuasion. C. Shoppers may find themselves lost in the broad range of items. D. Companies and advertisers are often misleading about the range of choice. |
| 3. By using computers as an example, the author wants to prove that |
| A. advanced products meet the needs of people B. products of the latest design flood the market C. competitions are fierce in high-tech industry D. everyday goods need to be replaced often |

| The meaning of the word" volunteer" may be a little different in different countries, but it usually means " one who offers his or her services. "There are many different ways in which people can volunteer, such as taking care of sick people, working in homes for homeless children, and picking up garbage (垃圾) from beaches and parks. Volunteers may work within their own countries or in other countries. They are often people with a strong wish to help those who are less fortunate than themselves. Volunteers don't expect any kind of pay. At the root of volunteering is the idea that one person may have the ability to offer other services that can help other people. Tracy, a good friend of mine, however, recently came back from India with a new idea of what being a volunteer means. She worked for two and a half weeks in one of Mother Teresa's homes in Calcutta. The following is her story. "I first heard about Mother Teresa in my high school. We watched a video(录像) about her work in India and all over the world. I was so moved by her spirit to help others and her endless love for every human being that after I graduated from high school, I too wanted to try her kind of work. So with two friends I flew to Calcutta for a few weeks. " "I was asked to work in a home for sick people. I helped wash clothes and sheets, and pass out lunch. I also fed the people who were too weak to feed themselves and tried to cheer them up. I felt it was better to share with them than to think that I have helped them. To be honest, I don't think I was helping very much. It was then that I realized that I had not really come to help, but to learn about and experience another culture (文化) that helped improve my own understanding of life and the world. " |
| 1. According to the text, a volunteer refers to a person who_____ |
| A. is willing to help those in need without pay B. can afford to travel to different places C. has a strong wish to be successful D. has made a big fortune in life |
| 2. Tracy started her work as a volunteer_____ |
| A. after she met Mother Teresa B. after she finished high school C. when she was touring Calcutta D. when she was working in a hospital |
| 3. Why did Tracy choose to be a volunteer? |
| A. She liked to work with Mother Teresa. B. She had already had some experience. C. She was asked by Mother Teresa to do so. D. She wanted to follow Mother Teresa's example. |
| 4. What is Tracy's" new idea" ( Paragraph 2) of being a volunteer? |
| A. Going abroad to help the sick. B. Working in Mother Teresa's home. C. Doing simple things to help the poor. D. Improving oneself through helping others. |

| The flag, the most common symbol of a nation in the modern world, is also one of the most ancient. With a clear symbolic meaning, the flag in the traditional form is still used today to mark buildings, ships and other vehicles related to a country. The national flag as we know it today is in no way a primitive(原始的) artifact. It is, rather, the " product of thousands of years'development." Historians believe that it had two major ancestors, of which the earlier served to show wind direction. Early human beings used very fragile houses and boats. Often strong winds would tear roofs from houses or cause high waves that endangered travelers. People's food supplies were similarly vulnerable. Even after they had learned how to plant grains, they still needed help from nature to ensure good harvests. Therefore they feared and depended on the power of the wind, which could bring warmth from one direction and cold from another. Using a simple piece of cloth tied to the top of a post to tell the direction of the wind was more dependable than earlier methods, such as watching the rising of smoke from a fire. The connection of the flag with heavenly power was therefore reasonable. Early human societies began to fix long pieces of cloth to the tops of totems(图腾) before carrying them into battle. They believed that the power of the wind would be added to the good wishes of the gods and ancestors represented by the totems hemselves. These flags developed very slowly into modem flags. The first known flag of a nation or a ruler was unmarked. The king of China around 1000 B. C. was known to have a white flag carried ahead of him. This practice might have been learned from Egyptians even further in the past, but it was from China that it spread over trade routes through India, then across Arab lands, and finally to Europe,where it met up with the other ancestor of the national flag. |
| 1. The best title for the passage would be____. |
| A. Development of the National Flag B. Power of the National Flag C．Types of Flags D．Uses of Flags |
| 2. The underlined word" vulnerable" in Paragraph 3 means“________"． |
| A. impossible to make sure of B. likely to be protected C．easy to damage D．difficult to find |
| 3. The earliest flags were connected with heavenly power because__________． |
| A. they could tell wind direction B. they could bring good luck to fighters C. they were handed down by the ancestors D. they were believed to stand for natural forces |
| 4. What does the author know of the first national flag? |
| A. He knows when it was sent to Europe. B. He believes it was made in Egypt. C. He thinks it came from China. D. He doubts where it started. |
| 5. What will the author most probably talk about next? |
| A. The role of China in the spread of the national flag. B. The second ancestor of the national flag. C. The use of modern flags in Europe. D. The importance of modern flags. |
