         The producer of a new Indonesian movie about President Obama's childhood years in Jakarta(雅加达) is hoping that interested Americans will flock to see the film, Little Obama, in theatres across the
    country.
         Little Obama is the creation of Damien Dematra, an Indonesian writer and artist who has worked
    on the project since November when he was struck with the idea of writing about the time a young
    Obama lived in Jakarta with his mother and stepfather in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
         The film is based on a novel published in March Obama Anak Menteng, and focuses on the president's childhood friendships in Indonesia.
         The novel and the film are fictionalized(把-编成小说) accounts of the president's time in Jakarta and
    are based on interviews with people who are childhood friends and neighbours of Mr. Obama. Many
    Indonesians share a deep pride about a man who spent part of his shaping years in the country and went
    on to become U.S. president.
         The film star is a 14-year-old Hasan Faruq Ali, an American who has lived in Indonesia with his family
    for about 10 years. Like the president, he is the son of a white mother and a black father. Since filming
    began, he has been under the shine of media attention. "My whole life changed overnight," he says.
         The film, which was made on a budget of $1 million, won't get its first public screening until
    Wednesday, but ads for the movie on YouTube have got a few thousand hits. It isn't clear whether
    Little Obama will get a U.S. release(发行), but the film's producer says he is in talks with a U.S.
    distributor(发行人).

    1.     What is the film Damien Dematra produced mainly about?     
    A. The friendship between America and Indonesia.
    B. The political views of Obama from his childhood.
    C. The determination and hard work of young Obama.
    D. Mr. Obama's friends when he was young in Indonesia.
    2.     Which is NOT true about Obama and Hasan Faruq Ali?      
    A. Their nationality is American.
    B. They shoot a film when they are young.
    C. they have the experience of living in Indonesia.
    D. Hasan has a white mother and a black father.
    3.     What can we learn from the last paragraph?
    A. The future of Little Obama is unknown.
    B. Little Obama will be popular in America.
    C. Little Obama will be popular in Indonesia.
    D. Ads for Little Obama proved unsuccessful.

         Christmas came in extravagant(奢侈的) fashion to the Muslim desert emirate(酋长国) of Abu
    Dhabi as a shining hotel uncovered a bejeweled(饰以珠宝的) Christmas tree valued at more than
    11 million dollars on Wednesday.
        It is "the most expensive Christmas tree ever" with "a value of over 11 million dollars", said Hans
    Olbertz, general of Emirates Palace Hotel, at its inauguratuion(落成典礼).
        The 13-metre (40-foot) evergreen, located in the gold hall of the hotel, is decorated with silver
    and gold bows, ball-shaped decorations and small white lights. But the necklaces, earrings and other
    jewellery hung around the tree's branches are what give it a record value. "It holds a total of 181
    diamonds, pearls, sapphires and other precious stones," said Khalifa Khouri, owner of Style Gallery,
    which provided the jewellery.
         "The tree itself is about 10,000 dollars," Olbertz said. "The jewellery has a value of over 11 million
    dollars-I think $1,141,150."
        "This will probably be an entry into the Guinness book of world records," Olbertz said, adding that
    Emirates Palace planned to contact the organization about the tree which is to stay until the end of the
    year.
        Asked whether the tree might be against religious sensibilities in the United Arab Emirates, where

    the vast majority of the local population are Muslim, Olbertz said he did not think it would. "It is a
    liberal(自由的) country," he said.
        The hotel has had a Christmas tree up in previous years, but this year "we have to do something
    different", and the hotel's marketing team hatched the plan, said Olbertz.

    1.    Why is the Christmas tree said to be "the most expensive Christmas tree ever"?
    A. Because the cost pf planting and decorating the tree is too high.
    B. Because the tree itself has a value of more than 11 million dollars
    C. Because the tree has unique religious sensibility in the United Arab Emirates.
    D. Because the jewellery hung around the tree's branches gives it a record value.
    2.    Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
    A. The tree is located in the gold leaf-bedecked hall of the king's palace.
    B. The tree is decorated with jewellery whose value is over 11 million dollars.
    C. The tree has been an entry into the Guinness book of world records.
    D. The tree is sure to be against religious sensibilities in the United Arab Emirates.
    3.    The underlined word "hatched" in the last paragraph probably means "___".
    A. worked out                      
    B. turned out
    C. looked out                        
    D. broke out
    4.    Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
    A. Christmas coming in extravagant fashion
    B. The precious jewellery hung around a tree
    C. The most expensive Christmas tree ever
    D. the United Arab Emirates, a liberal country

         Considered one of Europe's two "bicycle capitals" along with Amsterdam, Copenhagen(哥本哈根)
    counts more bicycles than people and cycling is so popular that its numerous bike paths can become
    crowded. Two-wheeler traffic jams are especially regular on the main Noerrebrogade road used by
    around 36,000 cyclists a day. "You have to elbow your way in to go forward and some cyclists aren't
    always thoughtful," complains 22-year-old university student Lea Bresell.
         The creation of bike highways "comes right on time", says Danish Cyclist Federation Spokesman
    Frits Bredal. "Copenhagen's roads are overloaded with people who want to ride their bicycles in all
    kinds of weather," he says. "If in the 1960s Danes viewed the car as the symbol of freedom, the bicycles
    have supposed that role today," Bredal says. "It's a mode of transportation used by all social classes,
    even politicians ride bikes," he says.
         It is on crowded Noerrebrogade-the busiest bicycle street in Europe, according to the cyclist
    association-that city planners have decided to build the first of Copenhagen's environmentally friendly
    roads. The jammed bike paths will be widened up to four metres on either side of the road, which itself
    will be reserved for bikes only. The idea is to make Noerrebrogade "Europe's great cycling street", says
    Andreas Roehl, Copenhagen government's bicycle program manager who is also known as "Mr. Bike".
         But Roehl is not content with making life easier for Copenhagen's inner-city cyclists: He wants to get
    suburbanites(郊区居民) out of their cars and onto two wheels as well. His goal is to hike the percentage
    of suburban commuters cycling to and from the city from the 37 percent it is today to 50 percent by 2015.
    1.    Why does Copenhagen plan to build the first bike highway?
    A. Because bike highways are environmentally friendly.
    B. Because it's a part of the city's development program.
    C. Because the inner-city commuters urge that it should be built.
    D. Because too many bicycles cause the paths to be crowded.
    2.    Why do people in Copenhagen want to ride their bicycles in all kinds of weather?
    A. Because the price of petrol has been going up all the time.
    B. Because the bicycle is viewed as the symbol of freedom nowadays.
    C. Because it's hard for people to find parking space in crowded streets.
    D. Because politicians ride bikes and commuters enjoy following them.
    3.    The underline word "mode" in the second paragraph probably means?
    A. fashion                          
    B. improvement
    C. reform                          
    D. law
    4.    Which of the following is NOT included in Andreas Roehl's plan?
    A. The former jammed bike paths will be widened.
    B. Noerrebrogade is to be made "Europe's great cycling street".
    C. All commuters will be pushed to leave their cars at home.
    D. More suburbanites will be got out of their cars and onto two wheels.

                            What should I do with the diary I've kept for 50 years?
          I've been keeping a journal since I was 16 and I'm now 65. I have more than 80 notebooks in a big
    box. I don't want my children embarrassed by them when I die. But I can't bring myself, yet, to burn the
    case. My journals are still part of me. Might my grandchildren, with a bit more distance, be interested? Or
    is there some way I could turn them into something creative? I'm thinking about art instead of a book.
         *shirleyujest  5 March 2012, 11:22 p.m.
         Please don't burn them! What a wonderful source of memories for you-or if you feel you'd rather not
    keep them, possibly what a wonderful resource for others! Why not contact something like the Mass
    Observation Project at the University of Sussex? Then they will remain as a record of everyday life
    throughout your lifetime, and if your grandchildren are interested they'll know where to find them.
         *bloggsie45  6 March 2012, 8:30 a.m.
         Please don't burn them! If possible, transcribe(转录) them, or have them transcribed, into a
    computer medium before your words are lost because the paper has decayed. I recently had an
    opportunity to read a similar diary of the WW? record of an ordinary soldier. It was attractive in the way
    it differed from the official record. I suppose to some degree it all depends on what you have recorded,
    but many social historians and similar people would find such a complete personal record of a life led
    during the second half of the 20th century to be very valuable.
         Please don't stop writing now just because you are 65!
    1.    What does the underlined word "them" refer to about the journal owner?
    A. His children and grandchildren.
    B. The best responses to his problem.
    C. His more than 80 diary books.
    D. The changes from 18 to 65.
    2.    What does the journal owner probably hope to happen to his journals?
    A. His children will put them together with him after his death.
    B. His grandchildren will continue to write following his habit.
    C. They can be published by famous publishing houses.
    D. They can be filmed or changed into a TV play.
    3.    What does "shirleyujest" think of the owner's journal?
    A. They provide good memories for others especially his grandchildren.
    B. They will educate the young to remember the hard life.
    C. They will help his grandchildren earn more money.
    D. They will make others learn more about the war.
    4.    "Bloggsie45" mentions an ordinary soldier's war record in his words to ___.
    A. remind the owner to write more about the war
    B. tell him social historians may be interested in his notebooks
    C. encourage him to write journals like determined soldiers
    D. show the owner his notebooks will benefit some people

    Time management is important in our daily life. There never seems to be enough hours in the day to
    accomplish all you need to do. Here are some tips that might be of some help to you.
         ●Set up a plan. Go for a week at a time, and decide the most important ones. Include things you
    want to accomplish. Focus mostly on the things that are important to you.
         ●Control your stress. No matter what kind of pressure mounts on you, try to keep cool. Stressing
    out can lead to an early breakdown, which is definitely counter-productive when you have a list of things
    to do. It's easier to take a 10-minute break and cool off than to work all week with stress.
         ●Shut your door. When working under a schedule, perform your important tasks with your door
    shut to get them done. This will ensure a better quality time to get what needs to be done, done.
        ●Focus on one thing at a time. Forget trying to multi-task! You will lose concentration, and it will
    take you longer to accomplish what you set out to do.
        ●Just say "no." If you are constantly interrupted, and you really don't have the time to help out, just
    say "no." You're only one person, and you can't save the world by yourself!
        ●Stop wasting time on the phone. While talking on the phone, keep your conversations short, and
    to the point and you'll waste much less time.
        ●Be realistic. You can only do what you can do. Don't set out to accomplish the impossible. Do
