| A parable(寓言)tells about a martial artist who kneels (跪) before a master in a ceremony to receive the Black Belt, which is hard to earn. After years of 1 , the student has finally reached a height of achievement in the discipline. "Before gaining the belt, you must 2 one more test," the coach seriously tells the young man. "I'm ready," responds the student, 3 perhaps one more round of boxing. "You must answer the 4 question: what is the true meaning of the Black Belt?" "Why, the end of my journey," says the student. "A well-deserved 5 for my hard work." The master waits for more. 6 , he is not satisfied. The coach finally speaks, "You are not ready for the Black Belt. 7 in one year." As the student 8 before his master a year later, he is again asked the question, "What is the true 9 of the Black Belt?" "It is a symbol of honor and the highest achievement in our art." The young man responds. Again the master waits for more. Still 10 , he says once more, "You are not ready for the Black Belt. Return in one year."

"You are now ready to 14 the Black Belt and begin your work." You may not be 15 for a Black Belt, but you might be at an important point. Maybe you're facing a life change, perhaps even a 16 one. Or maybe you are waiting for something you have worked hard to achieve-graduation, a new job, a 17 , or even retirement. All wise people see that 18 can be new beginnings. Change need not be feared. And neither should we be looking for a 19 resting place, for a full and happy life is always active. Does the change you face represent, not just an ending, but a new beginning in your life's 20 ? If so, you may be ready to move forward. | ||||

| When I was fifteen months old, I fell on a glass rabbit which cut my eye badly enough to blind it. And as I grew, this sightless eye, in so many ways controlled me that I walked with my face looking at the floor so people would not see the ugly me. Yet Mama would hold me in her arms, feel my hair gently and say, "If you hold your head up high, it will be OK. And people will see your beautiful soul." She continued this message whenever I wanted to hide. As a little child, I thought Mama meant, "Be careful or you will fall down or bump into something because you are not looking." As a teenager, I found that my mama's words helped me begin to realize that by letting people look at my face, I let them recognize the intelligence and beauty behind my eyes. In high school I was successful both academically and socially. I was even elected class president, but inside me I still felt like a freak (畸形人). When things got really bad, I would cry to my mama and she would look at me with loving eyes and say, "Hold your head up high and face the world. Let them see the beauty that is inside." When I met the man who became my partner for life, we looked each other straight in the eye, and he told me I was beautiful inside and out. Mama's love and encouragement were the spark that gave me the confidence to overcome my own doubt. "Hold your head up high" has been heard many times in my home. Now, I'm a mother, too. Each of my children has felt its invitation. The gift my mama gave me lives on in another generation. |

| I received a call today asking if I would be willing to bring food to a family in need. The mother was having a major operation and would be lying down for several weeks. Of course, I responded with an immediate"Yes!". As I planned the meal in my head, I thought of how many times over the years I had been asked to prepare food. I have done so countless times with a very open heart. But the truly amazing thing is that I have received double over the course of my life. When my mother died, our house was filled with fresh dinners for weeks. A woman from the church of our community stopped by each evening with some food. The gift of food was her small way of trying to ease our pain. Later in my life, when I was on bed rest during my pregnancy (怀孕) with twins, women of the church again stepped in to help. They arranged babysitting for my two-year-old daughter, and brought lovely dinners to our house. Even when I was put in the hospital, my husband would bring cooked meals to my hospital room. How we relied on these dinners to feed my tired husband and young daughter! Food is all about comfort. It feeds our bodies, but it can also feed our souls. When you hear people talking about their favorite holidays, it usually includes their feelings connected with sharing food. I know that I will have many more opportunities in my lifetime to prepare food for others. It is truly a gift I look forward to preparing and delivering to someone in need. |

| Two thirds of the single people looking for love in Britain turned to the Internet last year, according to figures made in public yesterday. Special sites offer introductions to people such as smokers, Roman Catholics, tall people, beautiful people, frequent flyers and vegetarians. Technology has brought about a great change in the dating (约会) games. A survey by Parsnip, a Britain branch of Europe's largest dating service with more than 1.5 million members, says that 65 percent of the 5.4 million Britons looking for a relationship used online dating services last year. A spokeswoman for Relate, the relationship advisor, confirmed that a figure of two thirds feel it all right. "Doing it online allows people quite a lot of privacy, (隐私) because they can do a bit of quiet research and look around from the comfort of their own home. You don't have to meet a matchmaker (媒人) or go to an actual dating agency office, which takes a lot of courage." She said. There are more than 100 independent online dating agencies in Britain. Parsnip says that 50 percent of single people believe they will meet a suitable partner through the Internet, from 35 percent six months ago. Mary Balfour, the founder, says that the Internet has changed the dating industry completely. "It's like a return to old-fashioned love letters," she said." You don't base your first judgment on how someone looks or what his or her figure is like. You e-mail or talk before you actually see each other. Everybody you know who is single these days has at least had a good look at a dating site, introduction agency or personal ads. They have to, because all the old matchmaking institutions have gone. People work harder, settle down later and live more isolated lives. They are much more likely to end the day with DVD and a glass of beer than by going to a meeting place. |
| 1. What does the passage mainly talk about? |
| A. British singles go online for love. B. British singles like going online. C. Going online for love is dangerous. D. New ways of dating in Britain. |
| 2. The following statements are false EXCEPT that singles ______. |
| A. don't have to do any research at all B. needn't go to a matchmaker C. need to actually meet each other D. have to go to a gathering place |
| 3. According to the text, about ______ Britons dated Online last year. |
| A. 3.5 million B. 1.5million C. 2.7million D. 1.9million |
| 4. From the passage, we can learn that ______. |
| A. old-fashioned love letters become popular again. B. online dating services are out of date C. half singles believe they can meet a suitable partner online D. online dating needs a lot of courage |

| A ban on smoking in public places has come into effect on May 1,2011 in China-home to one third of the world's smokers. The ban is aimed at controlling the number of deaths from smoking-related diseases, running at a million deaths a year. That figure is predicted to double by 2020. The new smoking ban is an attempt to prevent that prediction coming true. The new rules forbid people from smoking in places like hotels, railway stations or theatres, but not including the office. Employers can warn their staff of the dangers of smoking but cannot forbid them from smoking at their desks. But the new rules have been criticized because they do not describe in detail the punishments for businesses or individuals who flout them. Quite many smokers do not seem to take much notice of them. Often you find people smoking at next table while you are eating your meal or having a drink in a bar. In bus stops as well as in railway stations smoking can also be seen here and there. Business owners are also angry at the efforts to force them to ban smoking on their premises (经营场所), because many customers refuse to go to restaurants or places of entertainment where smoking is forbidden. It appears that many Chinese people are unaware of the dangers of smoking. Research suggests that only one in four knows the harm cigarettes can cause. Officials say they have to try to persuade people not to smoke to try to reduce the numbers dying from smoking-related diseases. At the same time, however, the local governments make a lot of money from the sales of cigarettes by the state-owned firm that makes and sells tobacco products throughout the country. |
| 1. From May 1, 2011, it is forbidden to smoke ______. |
| A. at the restaurant B. in the car C. in the office D. in any places |
| 2. The number of deaths caused by smoking by 2020 will probably be _____. |
| A. one million a year B. two million a year C. three million a year D. four million a year |
| 3. What does the underlined word "flout" in Para 4 mean? |
| A. be in favor of B. object to C. act against D. be unaware of |
| 4. Why is it difficult for the ban to be carried out? ①Because the ban on smoking is not written into the law. ②Because there are no clear regulations about punishment. ③Because cigarette firms continue producing cigarettes. ④Because not so many Chinese know about the danger of smoking. |
| A. ①②③ B. ①②④ C. ①③④ D. ②③④ |
