         I am an English teacher, with over 15 years' experience of teaching in London. I started
    the DailyStep audio email lesson service because I noticed that when I started their English
    course, my students' speaking and listening skills were much weaker than their reading and
    writing skills. In my view, this is because education in school does not focus enough on
    communication skills. DailyStep is designed to remedy this situation by offering more practice
    in speaking, listening and vocabulary.
         I am crazy about the English language and it is a real pleasure for me to see the
    development of my students' language skills.
          I majored in (以….为专业)law at university and then worked for three years as a
    researcher and journalist for Sky television and BBC magazines. I decided to change to
    English teaching because of my love of the English language and my wish to move into more
    satisfying work.
          Then I qualified (取得资格)as an English teacher in 1992. My first teaching job was at
    a language school in Covent Garden, London, where I taught examination classes and
    Business English . After two years, I moved to the Nippon Club where I taught General
    English and Business English courses for 9 years. I also developed a unique course called
    British Society & Culture, covering all areas of British life, such as politics, law, e
    ducation & music. At the same time, taught Business, Financial& Law English in the financial
    centre of London. My students included staff (工作人员)from banks and law firms.
          As well as running the DailyStep website, I also provide in-company English speech
    training for companies in London. If you have an important speech coming up and would like
    some information about how I can help you, please email me at jane@dailystep.com.

         The whole morning we just checked our own things. We were looking for items to give
    away. We thought of blankets, food and clothing. Our aim was not to find things we no
    longer wanted, but things we use every day and would be useful to others.
         We made up boxes with the things and added some small toys. Inside the boxes a simple
    letter was placed, reading:
         "Please take these items and know that your life is important. Times are difficult but
    they will pass. We share what we have, believing it will matter. Use the blanket to stay warm.
    Be safe and know that the human spirit can overcome anything. Don't hold your head down.
    Someday please do the same when you can. How you do it and when, your heart will tell you.
          This kind act was not because the phone rang or for any reason. It was simply because
    it was the right time to do. We have often seen homeless people at the park where we left
    the belongings. The city would say that it isn't a problem but I see the lives walking to and
    from it.
          I noticed that my wife had put her favorite green coat into one of the boxes. I asked if
    she was sure about it and she simply replied that it had a hood (风帽). She liked the coat
    but knew the hood could shelter (遮挡)someone from the rain.
          We don't know where these gifts of compassion(同情)will go. We never go back and
    see what happens. It's unimportant. The right things will find the right people and that is all
    that counts. On the way my wife started to cry. When I asked why, she said because some
    things felt so right.
    1. What can we learn from the first paragraph about the couple?_______.
    A. They had deep feelings of their work
    B. They often threw the useless daily items away
    C. They liked helping others by sharing their things
    D. They often gave away the daily items they didn't use
    2. The couple placed the letter inside the box mainly to_______.
    A. help the poor go through the difficulties
    B. let the poor know who gave away the things
    C. tell the poor how to use the items correctly
    D. tell the poor to pass on the spirit to others
    3. The couple liked this kind act because _______.
    A. they thought it was the right thing to do
    B. they had a good habit of saving things
    C. they often received telephone calls for help
    D. they hated being troubled by homeless people
    4. What's the best title for this passage?_______.
    A. Boxes filled with compassion

         Psychology(心理学)tells us that many people hate to take risks. But it is good for us
    to take risks, especially (尤其)when the risk is to achieve a desired result. In that way, we
    become stronger and braver.
         Our human nature should be to take risks, but some people just sit and wish they didn't
    have the fear(恐惧)to move on. This is because of one or two failures in their lives. Please
    step out and don't let the past hold you back from living life to the fullest. Move forward
    and move on!
         In studying the psychology of taking risks, we find that human nature provides(提供)
    us with the desire (渴望)to experiment and take chances.
         Risk taking is a great benefit(好处)that allowed our ancestors(祖先) to become
    stronger and stronger day by day. By taking risks they fought off enemies and discovered
    new territories(领土). This attitude has become a part of our modern culture. Riding a
    roller coaster is a common risk taking activity that even the average person seems to enjoy
    although they have the understanding that it is dangerous. This psychological and
    biological (生物学上的) connection (联系)creates an interesting connection between
    what is unsafe and what humans enjoy.
         Getting in a car each day is a risk. Getting out of bed is a risk. There is such thing as
    perfect safety. We need to take risks so that we can complete (finish) many things.
    Astronauts take risks when they get inside a rocket; however, the things they achieve are
    great. Businessmen take a risk when they buy parts of a company. However, without
    doing that, they could not make more money.
         We need to take risks so that we can gain something. It is impossible to move forward
    in life, earn money, enjoy a relationship, play a sport, or do anything else without taking a
    risk. It is all part of the game. It's one of the most important parts of life.
    1.Some people don't want to take risks, mainly (主要)because ___________.
    A. they are too lazy to move on
    B. they feel pleased with the present life.
    C. they have experienced some failures before
    D. they show little interest in the strange world outside
    2. What does the underlined part "This attitude" in Paragraph 4 mean?______.
    A. Taking risks
    B. Fighting off enemies
    C. Discovering new territories
    D. Becoming stronger and stronger
    3. What can we infer from the passage?______.
    A. Daily life is full of risks
    B. The safest place has the greatest risk
    C. People should take risks when they are young
    D. We can always achieve our goals by taking risks
    4. What would be the title for the passage?_______.
    A. Taking risks is easier said than done
    B. On risks taken by ancestors
    C. Live our life to the fullest(充分地)
    D. No risk, no gain.

         Email systems at thousands of companies' offices around the world were attacked by
    a virus (病毒)called "Mellissa" that disguises itself as "an important message" from a friend.
         "Even though there was a weekend warning, more than 50,000 companies at about 100
    places around the world have been attacked by the virus," computer experts said on Monday.
         The virus began to show up last Friday and spread rapidly the next first workday by
    making computers send off dozens of email containing the virus. Although the virus had no
    long-lasting damage to a computer, its effects were far-reaching.
          Michael Vatis, a senior US official said military and government computers were
    damaged, along with thousands of the other instructions' systems.
         The body of email message says "Here is what you ask for…" Once the user opens it,
    the virus digs into the user's address book and sends out messages to the first 50 addresses.
    The reason the virus spreads so rapidly is that you're getting it from people you know and
    trust. So anyone who gets an unexpected email with the "Important Message" subject line
    is advised not to open it and to delete (删除) it immediately.
    1. From the passage we know that the virus attacked thousands of computers on ._____
    A. Monday
    B. Saturday
    C. Friday
    D. the first day of the month

         Two traveling angels (天使) stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family.
    The family was rude and refused to let the angels stay in the guestroom. Instead the angels
    were given some space in the cold basement. As they made their bed on the hard floor, the
    older angel saw a hole in the wall and repaired it. When the younger angel asked why, the
    older angel replied,"Things aren't always what they seem."
         The next night the pair came to rest at the house of a very poor, but very hospitable
    (好客的) farmer. After sharing a little food they had, the farmer and his wife let the angels
    sleep in their bed where they could have a good night's rest. When the sun came up the
    next morning, the angels found the farmer and his wife in tears. Their only cow, whose milk
    had been their only income, lay dead in the field.
         The younger angel was very angry and asked the older angel, "How could this happen?"
    "Why didn't you watch out for the cow? The first family had everything, yet you watched
    over his house," she accused (谴责). "The second family had little but was willing to share
    everything, you didn't help."
         "Things aren't always what they seem," the angel replied. "When we stayed in the
    basement, I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall. Since the owner was so
    greedy and unwilling to share his good fortune, I asked God if I could seal the wall so he
    wouldn't find it. Then last night as we slept in the farmer's bed, the angel of death came
    for his wife. I asked God if the angel could take the cow instead. So things aren't always
     what they seem."

    1. Why did the older angel repair the hole for the rich family?______.
    A. Because she didn't like the greedy owner.
    B. Because she wanted to save the gold for the poor.
    C. Because the basement was too cold to stay in.
    D. Because she believed that one should always be ready to offer help.
    2. In paragraph two, "the pair" refers to _______.
    A. the poor couple
    B. the rich people
    C. the guests
    D. the angels
    3. The younger angel was very angry because _____.
    A. the older angel killed the farmer's cow
    B. the older angel treated the two families unfairly
    C. the wealthy man gave them a bad place to live in
    D. the angel of death took the cow away
    4. Why did the older angel let the farmer's cow die?_____.
    A. Because God wanted the older angel to take the cow.
    B. Because she wanted to teach the younger angel a lesson.
    C. Because she wanted to save the farmer's wife.
    D. Because she was sympathetic to the rich.

         Many animal lovers would like to do more to help animals, but aren't sure where to start
    or feel like they just don't have the time. The good news is that there are many simple things
    you can do to help protect animals.
         Think twice before you decide
         The decisions you make when it comes to eating meat or other animal products can go
    a long way toward stopping the killing of animals. Consider eating a vegetarian(素食的)
    diet. If you aren't ready to make this change, there are still things you can do. Do not buy
    animal products from companies known to use practices that go against the law such as
    using drugs to increase milk production in cows.
         Help get the word out
         Getting the word out about the problems faced by animals can be as easy as putting up
    a notice on your car. Also, talk to your friends and family members about important issues
    that are related to animals. Give some simple advice to a friend with a new pet about the
    serious pet over-population problem we're facing. Turn to some books on the subject if
    you are not so clear about the advice you give your friend.
         Write a letter
         We've all heard the saying, " The pen is more powerful than the sword". Put this idea
    to the protection of animals. If a company has practices or rules that are harmful to animals,
    write them a letter to let them know you are angry about them, and that you won't buy their
    products until they make some changes. Write letters to state and local legislators(立法者)
    to let them know how important it is that they support legislation that protects animals. Make
    them know that their actions will have a great effect on your vote.
         Be more loving
         If you're considering adding a dog or a cat to your family, think about getting one from a
    homeless-animal house rather than buying a pet. There are many wonderful animals just
    waiting for a home. By taking back an animal from there, you will be helping in the fight
    against pet over-population, as well as giving your money to those who are responsible for
    taking care of pitiful animals.
         Let your actions be an example to others
         It may sound simple, but one of the best ways to help animals is to let your actions speak
    to the world. You should do the following things first by yourself: Treat all living creatures
    with respect. Care about your pets and look after them well. Avoid (避免)entertainment
    places that use animals to perform. Support legislation (立法)that protects animals. All of
    these things set an example for others to follow.
