Of all the people Steve remembered, one woman, his primary-school teacher, Mrs Beneduci, 2 in his mind. Mrs Beneduci was a wise person. She realized that mere words to a kid 3 not carry much weight. So instead, with the secret aid of a little mouse, she found a 4 to show Steve his real talent. One day Mrs Beneduci began her 5 with the question: who was Abraham Lincoln?

| 阅读理解。 Each week, this program explains the many meanings of English expressions. Today’s expressions include a very important word-“heart”. We will try to “get to the heart of the matter” to better understand the most important thing about w  ords and their stories. So “take heart.” Have no fear about learning new expressions. Besides, popular English words can be fun. There is no need for a “heavy heart.” Such feelings of sadness would only “break my heart,” or make me feel unhappy and hopeless. Now, let us suppose you and I were speaking freely about something private. We would be having a “heart to heart” discussion. I might speak from “the bottom of my heart, ” or say things honestly and truthfully. I might even “open up my heart” to you and tell you a secret. I would speak with “all my heart”. When a person shares her feelings freely and openly like this, you might say she “wears her heart on her sleeve”. Her emotions are not protected. If we had an honest discussion, both of us would know that the other person’s “heart is in the right place.” For example, I would know that you are a “kind-hearted” and well-meaning person. And, if you are a very good person, I would even say that you have “a heart of gold.” However, you might have a “change of heart” based on what I tell you. Our discussion might cause you to change the way you feel about something. But, let us suppose you get angry over what I tell you. Or worse, you feel no sympathy or understanding for me or my situation. If this happens, I might think that you have a “heart of stone.” And, if you say something to make me frightened or worried, my “heart might stand still”. 1． If you are not so happy, you may feel that ________. A. you “have a heart of stone” B. you have to “take heart” C. you “break your heart” D. you “speak from the bottom of the heart” 2． From the above passage we may see ________. A. English words can all be used differently B. some phrases do not have a fixed meaning C. languages change with the time D. the same word may have various meanings 3． What is the passage trying to impress the readers? A. To explain how “heart” is used in phrases. B. To show the author’s perfect English. C. To tell English learners to learn English in phrases. D. To advertise an English course. |

For one thing, though their sufferers are to be found in all age groups, cancers are particularly likely to attack persons in their middle and advanced years. Naturally, since people live longer these years, there are more cancer sufferers than before. Again, with better methods of diagnosis (诊断), doctors can more easily recognize cancerous growths that would formerly have passed unnoticed or that would have been wrongly diagnosed. It is also believed that certain habits and conditions of modern living, including heavy smoking and the pollution of the air, may leave people living in more cancer-causing conditions than before. We all look forward to the day when a simple medical test can find cancer while it is still small. Researchers around the world are working on such a test. Most of their work deals with the examination of the blood. Researchers in Boston have found something in the blood of cancer patients that does not appear in healthy persons. The test showed which persons had c  ancer and which did not. It was correct more than 90 percent of the time. The researchers believe the test may be able to show cancer very clearly in its development. Cancers discovered early usually can be treated successfully. The test examines very small bits of fat in the blood called lipids (脂质). Cancers seem to change lipids although doctors do not know why. The test showed differences between the lipids of the persons with cancer and the lipids of those without cancer. The researchers say the new test could be a step to develop a simple way to check patients for cancer before the disease shows on an X-ray. 1. Who will have cancer from the study of the researchers? A. The young. B. The middle age and the older. C. The man. D. The woman. 2. The underlined words "such a test" refer to________. A. the test that shows which persons have cancer and which don’t . B. the test that may be able to show cancer very early in its development。 C. a simple medical test that cannot find cancer when it is small D. a new test that could be a step to develop a difficult way 3. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A. Cancers have much to do with something in patients’ blood. B. People living in better conditions are most likely to be attacked by cancer. C.X-raying is the best way to determined whether a person has cancer or not. D. Cancers have nothing to do with a person’s habits and living conditions. 4. What would be the best title for the passage? A. A simple way to cancer B. Cancers can be cured C. How to find cancer D. Early discovery of cancer |

We all love new inventions. They are exciting, amazing and can even change our lives. But have all these developments really improve the quality of our lives? Picture this: You’re rushing to finish your homework on the computer. Your mobile phone rings, a QQ message from your friend appears on the screen, the noise from the television is getting louder and louder. Suddenly the computer goes blank and you lose all your work. Now you have to stay up all night to get it done. How calm and happy do you feel? Inventions have speeded up our lives so much that they often leave us feeling stressed and tired. Why do you think people who live far away from noisy cities, who have no telephones, no cars, not even any electricity often seem to be happier? Perhaps because they lead simpler lives. One family in the UK went “back in time” to see what life was like without all the inventions we have today. The grandparents, with their daughter, and grandsons Benjamin, 10, and Tomas, 7, spent nine weeks in a 1940s house. They had no washing machine, microwave, computer or mobile phones. The grandmother, Lyn, said, “It was hard physically, but not mentally.” She believed life w  as less materialistic. “The more things you have, the more difficult life becomes,” She said. The boys said they fought less to fight over, such as their computer. Benjamin also noticed that his grandmother had changed from being a “fashionable, beer-drinking granny, to one who cooked things.” Here are some simple ways to beat the stress often caused by our inventions! Don’t be available all the time. Turn off your mobile phone at certain times of the day. Don’t check your e-mail every day. Don’t reply to somebody as soon as they leave a text message just because you can. It may be fun at first, but it soon gets annoying. 1．The passage is mainly about . A．problems with technology B．improvements of our life with technology C．the important roles technology plays in our everyday life D．major changes which will be likely to happen to technology 2．The writer quoted what a citizen in ancient Rome said at the beginning of the story in order to . A．share a truth about life B．tell us what life was like long time ago C．make us wonder what causes such a thing to happen D．point out that you experience some big problems and they may be the same 3．The family chose to spend some time in a 1940’s house because . A．they liked to live simple lives B．they were curious about how people lived without modern inventions C．they were troubled by modern inventions D．living in a different time would be a lot of fun for them 4．What does the word “available” in the suggestion offered by the writer mean? A．Busy on line B．Free C．Be able to D．Be found by others. |

| Warren Buffett For someone who is such a successful investor, Warren Buffett comes off as a pretty ordinary guy. He was born on August 30, 1930. 1 He used to go door-to-door and sell soda water. When his family moved to Washington, Buffett became a paperboy for The Washington Post. Buffett ran his five paper routes and even added magazines to round out his product offerings. While still in school, he was making $175 a month, a full-time wage for many men. 2 He spent $1,200 on 40 acres of farmland in Nebraska. He and a friend also made $50 a week by placing pinball machines in barber shops. They called their venture（企业）Wilson Coin Operated Machine Co. Although already a successful small-time businessman, Buffett wasn’t interested in going to college but ended up at the University of Pennsylvania ---- his father encouraged him to go. 3 . But he was turned down and that had to be one of the worst admission decisions in Harvard history. The outcome affected Buffett’s life, for he ended up attending Columbia Business School, where he studied under Professor Benjamin Graham, the father of securities analysis who provided the foundation for Buffett’s investment strategy. From the beginning, Buffett made his fortune from investing. He started with all the money he had made from selling soda water, delivering papers, and operating pinball machines. Between 1950 and 1956, he grew his $9,800 to $14,000. 4 And then he gradually drew in other investors through word of mouth and very attractive terms. 5 He doesn’t collect houses or cars or works of art, and he disdains（鄙视）companies that waste money on expensive cars, private dining rooms, and high-priced real villas. He is a creature of habit-----same house, same office, same city and same soda water. A．Then Bufftt applied to Harvard Business School. B．Buffett is more likely to be found in a four star restaurant. C．When he was 14, Buffett kept great interest in investment. D．Even as a young child, Buffett was serious about making money. E．One thing is for sure about Buffett: he is happy doing what he is doing. F．Buffett’s investment strategy mirrors his lifestyle and his overall philosophy. G．From there, he organized investment partnerships with his family and friends. |
