One of the most common social fears is that we are not good enough. Perhaps you feel you won't 1 others because they are more confident, successful, intelligent or attractive than you.

Weeks passed, and eventually I gave up hope of ever finding it 10 . A month later, I was 11 up my jacket in the same place when I saw my brown 12 diary, just where I'd left it. 13 I read through the pages and found that a 14 had written the following, "God bless you. I'm 15 like you, only I 16 keep a diary, and I'm 17 to know there are others like me. I hope things turn out well for you." Tears came to my eyes. It had never dawned (开始明白) on me that any one could know my inner feelings and also 18 things just like the way I did. No matter what you are like, whether you're rich or poor, brilliant or average, attractive or 19 , there are people like you.

English families face being limited to 80 bags of rubbish a year. Households throwing away more waste will have to take it to the tip (垃圾站) or buy a limited number of extra bags. Doretta Cocks, protester of the Campaign for Weekly Waste Collections, said, "They must think we are fools. How can they claim to be concerned for the environment when they tell people to drive to the local tip? And what do you do if you don't have a car? Walk?" The plan ignores the voice from ministers to end such heavy-handedness (笨拙). It is to be carried out by the Tory-led council (市政厅) in Wokingham, Berkshire, and is already in operation in Brozbourne in Hertfordshire. Many of the 180 councils that still offer unlimited weekly rubbish collections are watching the trial. Wokingham officials have told residents that 75-litre bags will be given to each household and anything not left in them will not be collected. "Every household will receive 80 bags every year," it said. "You can buy extra bags in rolls of ten but this will not be encouraged." Families of five will get 100 rubbish bags a year and households of six or more will get 120. Residents will have a weekly recycling collection limited to cans, paper and cards, plastic bottles and so on. Plastic packaging and glass including bottles must either go with the general waste or be taken to recycling points. Green waste pick-ups cost an extra £60 a year. The council has told residents it will save £922,000 a year under the new system. There will be no local consultation (商讨) before it is introduced next April. |
1. What' Doretta Cock's attitude towards the new plan? |
A. Satisfied. B. Curious. C. Angry. D. Interested. |
2. What does the underlined word "this" refer to in the seventh paragraph? |
A. Receiving 80 rubbish bags every year. |
3. It can be learned from the passage that . |
A. the new plan is agreed by most ministers B. the new plan will waste a lot of money C. the government has asked for much advice of the new plan D. the new plan does not necessarily do good to the environment |
4. Which of the following is the best title of the passage? |
A. English families are limited to 80 bags of rubbish a year B. English families can't clear away their rubbish C. English families are angry with their government D. English government pays no attention to residents' interest |

Man, a land animal. But he is also closely tied to the sea. Throughout history the sea has served the needs of man. The sea has provided man with food and a convenient way to travel to many parts of the world. Today, nearly two-thirds of the world's population lives within 80 kilometers of the sea coast. In the modern technological world, the sea offers many resources to help mankind survive. Resources on land are beginning to be used up. The sea, however, still can be hoped to supply many of man's needs. The list of riches of the sea yet to be developed by man's technology is big. Oil and gas explorations have been carried out for nearly 30 years. Valuable amounts of minerals exist on the ocean floor ready to be mined. Fish farming promises to be a good way to produce large quantities of food. The culture of fish and shellfish (贝类动物) is an ancient skill practised in the past mainly by Oriental people, including people in China. Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy. Experts believe that the warm temperature of the ocean can be used in a way similar to the steam in a steamship. Ocean currents and waves offer possible use as a source of energy. Technology is enabling man to explore ever more deeply under the sea. The development of strong, new materials has made this possible. The technology to harvest the sea continues to improve. Experts believe that by the year 2020 the problems that prevent us from exploiting (开发) fully the food, minerals, and energy sources of the sea will be largely solved. |
1. The major things that the sea offers man are _________. |
A. fish and oil B. minerals and oil C. warm temperature and ocean currents D. the food, energy sources, and minerals |

Galaxy saw a man and a woman who communicated with the sign language at the train station when she was on the way home one evening. She noticed that the woman asked the man for the direction. He told her that he did not know. Galaxy decided to help them. She had learned the sign language when she served as a volunteer in the deaf and mute (聋哑) school. Then she showed the woman the direction and left her email address to them in case they needed her help later. She received an email from that man the next day. Kazrim was his name. Galaxy replied his mail sincerely. They both started chatting online soon after and began seeing each other. Although they only communicated with the sign language, it never bothered her. Galaxy was fond of him gradually. Obviously, Kazrim was the same too. He presented Galaxy with a bunch of sunflowers and asked her sincerely, "Are you willing to be my girlfriend?" Galaxy was pleasantly surprised. She requested him to give her some time to persuade her parents. As she had expected, her parents were very angry after they had learned of their love story. Galaxy explained, "Kazrim is an excellent and a very optimistic person. He has a very positive attitude towards life and work. He cares for others always. He is 100% better than the normal.

When they were on the train, Kazrim told her, ''I'm going to tell your parents I'll be looking after you well with all my life!" Galaxy was deeply moved. As soon as they had entered the house, Galaxy introduced him to her parents. She said, ''This is Kazrim." Just right after her speech, an unbelievable thing happened. Kazrim threw the gift away and held her in his arms tightly. He said, "YOU CAN TALK?" It was the same question that Galaxy wanted to ask, too. The four people were shocked all of a sudden.

Duke Ellington is known as one of the most important composers of his time, and his work has been enjoyed for more than 80 years by music lovers all over the world. During his lifetime Ellington turned musical sounds into many compositions, mostly in the style known as jazz. The Early Years Edward Kennedy Ellington was born in 1899 in Washington, D. C. It wasn't until Ellington was a teenager that his interest in music grew. He taught himself to play the piano by listening to local piano players. Sometime around 1916 Ellington began playing the piano at high school parties. Ellington realized that he enjoyed entertaining people with his music. He soon became a very popular musician, playing at parties and other events in the Washington area. Young adults seemed especially delighted by the modern pieces he composed. Success in New York In 1923, when Ellington was almost 24 years old, he joined The Washingtonians, a five-piece group of musicians in Washington, and became the group's leader in early 1924. In 1927 Ellington and his orchestra won an engagement (雇佣期) at Harlem's famous Cotton Club. For the next three years, his orchestra played at the Cotton Club nearly every night. The Influence of the Cotton Club Working at the Cotton Club encouraged Ellington's creativity. Since the shows changed every six months, he was challenged by the need to continually develop new material. He had to compose a wide variety of music to accompany the various acts in the Cotton Club shows and to adapt that music to the strengths and weaknesses of the players in his orchestra. By 1928 the popular nightspot began radio broadcasts. From the broadcasts Ellington and his orchestra gained a national reputation. On the Road As Ellington's popularity increased, he realized that his orchestra could do well on concert tours. They left the Cotton Club in 1931 and toured America and Europe almost continually for the next 43 years. In addition to touring, Ellington made recordings and continued to compose music. Duke Ellington played the piano, composed music, and led his famous orchestra for more than 50 years, until his death in 1974. Music lovers all over the world agree that the large quantity of music he created will be enjoyed for many years to come. |
