| According to the Daily Telegraph on February 10, a British woman who was "pushed to the edge" by a faulty fire alarm that sounded non-stop for several days discovered that the sound was in fact made by a parrot in her garden. Shanna Sexton, 25, from Devon, UK, even called in workmen to try and solve the problem. But she was amazed to see an African Grey Congo parrot stopped on a water bucket as she came out washing in the garden. The noisy parrot, called Sammi, had escaped from neighbor Louise Ledger's house a week earlier and spent seven days in the garden imitating a smoke alarm. Ledger, 38, was worried and spent hours searching for her beloved pet and she even pasted the neighborhood with missing posters hoping for Sammi's return. "I am over the moon. I am going to give Shanna a huge bunch of flowers. When I found out where he was I could not have got there any faster. He is always making funny noises from anywhere and everywhere. I think he must have heard me burning the toast once so he made the smoke alarm noise," said Ledger. |

| The main cause of a heart attack is not exercise or stress - it's air pollution, according to a study published in The Lancet this month. Researchers found spending time in traffic, whether as a driver or a pedestrian(行人), tops the list of risk factors that bring on a heart attack. Jon Ayres, professor of environmental and respiratory(呼吸的) medicine at the University of Birmingham, says, "Air pollution is not only linked to strokes, heart attacks and cancer - it has a deep effect on those with existing respiratory conditions." So how can you avoid the damage? We asked the experts for their tips. TAKE TO THE SIDE STREETS Avoid main roads. These have the highest number of vehicles and also more traffic jams, which tend to run on diesel(柴油). Diesel engines emit(排放) tiny particles(粒子) that reach the lungs most easily. Choose side streets, pavements, parks and avenues lined with trees. BUY SOME HOUSEPLANTS We spend 90 percent of our time inside, but studies by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency have found that pollution levels can be two to five times higher indoors than outside. Objects such as synthetic(合成的) carpets, TV screens can emit chemicals called volatile organic compounds (VOC,挥发性有机化合物), which have been linked to diseases such as cancer. Researchers at Curtin University in Perth, Australia, found an increase in asthma (哮喘) risk among children under three who had high VOC levels in their homes. Therefore, the application of air fresheners and houseplants can keep the circulation of the air and absorb the pollutants. |
| 1. According to the first paragraph, what causes a heart attack mainly? |
| A. Exercise B. Stress C. Traffic D. Air pollution |
| 2. For people's health, which of the following should NOT be chosen, according to the passage? |
| A. Side streets B. Main streets C. Pavements D. Parks |
| 3. From the last paragraph, we can infer that _______. |
| A. Pollution levels can be two to five times higher indoors than outside B. Objects such as synthetic carpets, TV screens can not cause diseases C. The risk of cancer is higher indoors than outside D. The application of air fresheners and houseplants can keep the circulation of the air and absorb the pollutants |
| 4. What is the passage mainly about? |
| A. Tips to avoid the damage of air pollution B. Air pollution is the main cause of a heart attack C. Air pollution is linked to strokes, heart attacks and cancer D. Pollution levels can be two to five times higher indoors than outside |

| In a survey of 1,500 European hotel managers, Americans were ranked second, behind the Japanese, as the world's best tourists. In the survey, conducted in April by the online travel site Expedia's German branch, Americans were seen as the most likely to try to speak a foreign language and the most interested in tasting local food. Americans came in third, behind the Japanese and British, as the "most polite" tourists, and third, behind the Japanese and Germans, as "best behaved". And ---- Americans were ranked far and away as the world's most generous tippers and biggest spenders. On the other hand, Americans were seen as the shabbiest(破旧的) dressers, the most likely to complain and the second noisiest. Who is louder? Only the Italians. Some of the other findings: Russians were as the least polite travelers, followed by the Israelis and French. The stingiest(吝啬的) tippers: the Germans, followed by the French and Israelis. Italians, by far, were ranked as the best dressers, followed by the French and Spanish. In terms of bad dressing, the British were a distant second to Americans, followed by the Germans. Who's the most unwilling to try speaking in a foreign language? The French, the British and the Italians, in that order. The Chinese are the most reluctant to taste foreign food, followed closely by ---- this is strange ---- the British, whose home cuisine is probably the world's most seriously laughed at ( a little unfairly, perhaps). And, finally, the overall award for "worst tourist in the world" goes to the French, with the Indians and Chinese. |

| My friend, Emma Daniels, spent the summer of 1974 traveling in Israel. During her month-long stay in Jerusalem she often went to a caf? called Chocolate Soup. It was run by two men, one of whom - Alex - used to live in Montreal. One morning when Emma went in for coffee, while chatting with her new friend Alex, she mentioned that she had just finished the book she was reading and had nothing else to read. Alex said he had a wonderful book she might like, and that he'd be happy to lend it to her. As he lived just above the caf?, he quickly ran up to get it. The book he handed to Emma just minutes later was Markings, a book by a former Secretary-General of the United Nations (UN). Emma had never read it, nor had she ever bought a copy.

| Live with disability is frustrating and challenging. Everyday activities are more difficulty than they are for others. It is also often disappointed to find that other people do not feel comfortable together with someone who are disabled. Perhaps we should all listen Xiaowen's advice. "Sometimes I wonder why they call myself disabled," she says. "I have learnt to live with my body as it is and adjust my way of life." Maybe it is time for the rest of society accept me as I am and get used to the fact which while I may not be able to walk, there are many the other great things I can do." |
1. ______ 2. ______ 3. ______ 4. ______ 5. ______ 6. ______ 7. ______ 8. ______ 9. ______ 10. ______ |
