| Everyone's at it, even my neighbors. I thought I might be the only person left in the world who hadn't done an eBay deal. So, I decided to try my hand at online auction (网上拍卖). Buying for beginners: Sign up on www. ebay. co. uk. Most items(e.g. tables, computers, and books)ready for auction will come with a picture and a short description; others may be marked with " Buy It Now " and have a fixed price. You can buy these right away. If the item is being auctioned, you offer the highest price you are prepared to pay and eBay bids (出价)for you. The bid will be increased little by little until it goes beyond your highest bid, then you are emailed and asked if you would like to bid again. Auctions last up to 10 days and when they finish you get an email telling you whether you have won the item. How to pay: Sellers decide how they would like to be paid and you need to check this before placing a bid as you might not want to post a check or postal orders. The easiest way is through PayPal, an online payment system that takes the money away from your credit card (信用卡). Selling made simple: If you plan to sell on eBay, it helps to include a picture of the item. I followed my friends' advice and put up the items I wanted to sell for a 10-day auction, starting on a Thursday. This way buyers had two weekends to bid. The big things in life: It's easy to post a small item, but furniture is a big part of eBay and this has to be collected or sent by delivery men. Check the ways of delivery before you bid. |
| 1. What is the passage mainly about? |
| A. How to make payment online. B. Ways of using delivery online. C. Advantages of an online-auction system. D. How to use an online-auction system. |
| 2. After bidding for an item, a buyer __________. |
| A. will get what he wants in ten days B. should make payment immediately C. has chances to make higher bids D. may check its picture and description |
| 3. The easiest way of making payment mentioned in the passage is __________. |
| A. through an online payment system B. through a local banking system C. by sending the money to the seller D. by paying the deliveryman directly |
| Camping wild is a wonderful way to experience the natural world and, at its best, it makes little environmental influence. But with increasing numbers of people wanting to escape into the wilderness, it is becoming more and more important to camp unobtrusively(不引人注目地)and leave no mark. Wild camping is not permitted in many places, particularly in crowded lowland Britain. Wherever you are, find out about organizations responsible for managing wild spaces, and get in touch with them to find out their policy on camping and shelter building. For example, it is fine to camp wild in remote (偏远的) parts of Scotland, but in England you must ask the landowner's permission, except in national parks. Camping is about having relaxation, sleeping outdoors, experiencing bad weather, and going without modern conveniences. A busy, fully-equipped campsite (野营地) seems to go against this, so seek out smaller, more remote places with easy access to open spaces and perhaps beaches. Better still, find a campsite with no road access: walking in makes a real adventure. Finding the right spot to camp is the first step to guaranteeing a good night's sleep. Choose a campsite with privacy and minimum influence on others and the environment. Try to use an area where people have obviously camped before rather than creating a new spot. When camping in woodland, avoid standing by dead trees, which may fall on a windy night. Avoid animal runs and caves, and possible homes of biting insects. Make sure you have most protection on the windward side. If you make a fire, do so downwind of your shelter. Always consider what influence you might have on the natural world. Avoid damaging plants. A good campsite is found, not made-changing it should be unnecessary. |
| 1. You needn't ask for permission when camping in __________. |
| A. national parks in England B. most parts of Scotland C. crowded lowland Britain D. most parts of England |
| 2. The author thinks that a good campsite is one __________. |
| A. with easy access B. used previously C. with modern conveniences D. far away from beaches |
| 3. The last paragraph mainly deals with __________. |
| A. protecting animals B. building a campfire C. camping in woodland D. finding a campsite with privacy |
| 4. The passage is mainly about __________. |
| A. the protection of campsites B. the importance of wild camping C. the human influence on campsites D. the dos and don'ts of wild camping |
| Sandra Cisneros was born in Chicago in 1954 to a Mexican American family. As the only girl in a family of seven children, she often felt like she had "seven fathers," because her six brothers, as well as her father, tried to control her. Feeling shy and unimportant, she retreated(躲避) into books. Despite her love of reading, she did not do well in elementary school because she was too shy to participate. In high school, with the encouragement of one particular teacher, Cisneros improved her grades and worked for the school literary magazine. Her father encouraged her to go to college because he thought it would be a good way for her to find a husband. Cisneros did attend college, but instead of searching for a husband, she found a teacher who helped her join the famous graduate writing program at the University of Iowa. At the university's Writers' Workshop, however, she felt lonely—a Mexican American from a poor neighborhood among students from wealthy families. The feeling of being so different helped Cisneros find her "Creative voice." "It was not until this moment when I considered myself truly different that my writing acquired a voice. I knew I was a Mexican woman, but I didn't think it had anything to do with why I felt so much imbalance in my life, but it had everything to do with it! That's when I decided I would write about something my classmates couldn't write about." Cisneros published her first work, The House on Mango Street, when she was twenty-nine. The book tells about a young Mexican American girl growing up in a Spanish-speaking area in Chicago, much like the neighborhoods in which Cisneros lived as a child. The book won an award in 1985 and has been used in classes from high school through graduate school level. Since then, Cisneros has published several books of poetry, a children's book, and a short-story collection. |
| 1. Which of the following is TRUE about Cisneros in her childhood? |
| A. She had seven brothers. B. She felt herself unimportant. C. She was too shy to go to school. D. She did not have any good teachers. |
| 2. The graduate program gave Cisneros a chance to __________. |
| A. work for a school magazine B. run away from her family C. make a lot of friends D. develop her writing style |
| 3. What do we learn about The House on Mango Street? |
| A. It is quite popular among high school students. B. It is the only book ever written by Cisneros. C. It wasn't a success as it was written in Spanish. D. It won an award when Cisneros was twenty-nine. |
| When I was in the third grade, I was picked to be the princess(公主)in the school play. For weeks my mother had helped me practice my lines. But once onstage, every word disappeared from my head. Then my teacher told me she had written a narrator's(解说者的)part for the play, and asked me to change roles. Though I didn't tell my mother what had happened that day, she sensed my unhappiness and asked if I wanted to take a walk in the yard. It was a lovely spring day. We could see dandelions(蒲公英)popping through the grass in bunches, as if a painter had touched our landscape with bits of gold. I watched my mother carelessly bend down by one of the bunches. "I think I am going to dig up all these weeds," she said. "From now on, we'll have only roses in this garden." "But I like dandelions," I protested. "All flowers are beautiful---even dandelions!" My mother looked at me seriously. "Yes, every flower gives pleasure in its own way, doesn't it?" she asked thoughtfully. I nodded. "And that is true of people, too," she added. When I realized that she had guessed my pain, I started to cry and told her the truth. "But you will be a beautiful narrator,"she said, reminding me of how much I loved to read stories aloud to her. Over the next few weeks, with her continuous encouragement, I learned to take pride in the role. The big day finally came. A few minutes before the play, my teacher came over to me. "Your mother asked me to give this to you," she said, handing me a dandelion. After the play, I took home the flower, laughing that I was perhaps the only person who would keep such a weed. 1. Why did not the girl play the role of the princess? (within 10 words) 2. How did the writer feel about her narrator's part at the beginning? (within 10 words) 3. What does "that" refer to in the passage? (within 10 words) 4. Why do you think the writer's mum give a dandelion to her before the play? (within 15words) 5. What have you learnt from the story? (within 20 words) |
