My car and my best friend

   For most, getting your first car opens up a new world of freedom and allows you to go wherever you want, whenever you want. Getting a car did   41   these for me, and it also brought my best friend and me   42  . But then it tore us apart.

    My best friend lives three minutes from my   43  . Since her  44   is in late summer, seven months behind mine, I basically became her   45   when I turned 16 in December.

    And so I   46   her up for school and took her home. We made ice-cream   47  , went shopping and to the movies― all in my car. I would drive to her house just to sit on her bed, read magazines and have a good laugh. I went to her house so   48   that she gave me a  key  49    her house.

    A week after I got my license，she was with me   50   I had my first accident. She was there and   51   me and we kept it a   52  , since I didn’t want people to  53  . From then on, through thick and thin（共患难）, it was just me, my car and my best friend. 

    High school is a time of   54  , but I couldn’t   55   for a long time   56   we became so distant after being so close. My friend waited three months after her birthday to get her dream car：a green 2004 Beetle. With its  57  , the passenger seat of my car became   58  . Our car trips became less frequent   59   I didn’t even drive down her street.

    It’s funny how a car can change a relationship so much. I had wanted her to get a car, but once she did, I   60   it. I wanted her friendship back, even if it couldn’t be the same.

 Have you ever hear a saying, “Never judge a book by its cover.”? This is a good rule to follow when trying to judge the intelligence of others. Some people have minds that shine only in certain situations. A young man with an unusual gift in writing may find himself speechless before a pretty girl when he speaks. He may not be able to find the right words. But don’t make the mistake of thinking him stupid. With a pen and paper, he can express himself better than anybody else.

   Other people may fool you into overestimating their intelligence by putting up a good front. A student who listens attentively and takes notes in class is bound（必定的） to make a favorable impression on his teachers. But when it comes to exams, he may score near the bottom of the class.

   In a word, you can’t judge someone by appearance. The only way to determine a person’s intelligence is to get to know him. Then you can see how he reacts to different situations. The more situations you see, the better your judgement is likely to be. So take your time. Don’t judge a book by its cover.

24. The passage suggests that ______.

A. a good writer may not be a good speaker

B. a good writer is always a good speaker

C. a speechless person always writes well

D. a good writer will find himself speechless   

25. According to this passage, a student who listens attentively and takes notes in class ______.

A. is an intelligent student         B. may not be an intelligent student

C. will score better in exams        D. will not be a good student

26. The passage suggests that we should judge a person’s intelligence through ______.

A. his teachers                 B. his deeds in the classroom

C. his appearance               D. his reactions to different situations

27. The writer of this passage wants to tell us not to______.

A. judge a book by its cover

B. make the mistake of thinking a young man stupid

C. overestimate a student’s intelligence

D. judge a person’s intelligence by his appearance

   We always read reports about costs of oil going up and we will think this is our most valuable material. However, water is the most valuable resource(资源). People in the Middle East are more worried about this than oil. Maybe the next war will be about water.

    In the future, to control the quality and quantity(数量), you will use different water for different usages. The water used to wash your car, water your flowers or wash your clothes doesn’t need to be as clean as the water you drink.

    One in five people live in countries without enough fresh water and in 25 years, the number is believed to be one in every three people. Our world population is increasing. What do you suppose this will suggest for us in the future? Population control?

    Traditional management of the water industry has been out of date since the 1990s. When technologies develop so rapidly in the world, we have loads of information for technologies in the business world, but in the water industry we don’t have any.

    Britain and France have already taken measures to successfully improve their water industries. All the water services in Britain have been provided by private(私有的) companies since 1991. Since then, improvement has been made in the rules for their water quality and pricing.

    What can you do now for the future? Using water more efficiently(有效地) in your house can make a great difference not only to the world but to your money. Even if you don’t have to pay much now, you will when you start to pay big prices for different water usages.

73．Water shortage is getting more serious because ______________.

A．the world population is growing up.    

B．there will be more wars about water.

C．people don’t have efficient management of the water industry.

D．water services will be provided only by private companies.

74． Which is the author’s suggestion for us?

A. Paying less money for water                 B. Buying more water for future use.

C. Using different water for different usages.      D. Using as little water as possible in cooking.

75．Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?

A．Save water and save money                  B．Easy ways to cut down on your water usage

C．Why you should teach your children to save water D．Water is our precious resource—start to saveit now

A cafe in Virginia, America, has come up with a method to convince customers to be more polite.

A sign advertises different costs for a cup of coffee depending on how polite the customer is when ordering. The prices are listed with the typical phrases a customer might use when placing their order. They include: “Small coffee” at $5, “small coffee please” at $3 and “hello, one small coffee please” at $1.75.

A passer-by took a photo of the sign and posted the image online. This isn’t the first time that a coffee shop has attempted to teach customers a lesson. The Petite Syrah cafe in Nice, on the French Riviera, charged customers for “a coffee”, but a more affordable .25 for “a coffee please”.

Fabrice Pepino, manager of Petite Syrah, explained the reason: “It started as a joke because at lunchtime people would come in very stressed and were sometimes rude to us when they ordered a coffee.” He added: “I know people say that French service can be rude but it’s also true that customers can be rude when they’re busy.”

The American cafe will be hoping to follow in the footsteps of the Petite Syrah cafe as the original coffee shop proved a success in changing customers’ behaviors. Pepino said that he had noticed a huge difference in the behaviors of his customers after a few days of the sign being on show.

21. If a customer orders a coffee politely, the cafe will ________.

A. present him/her a gift as a reward

B. charge him/her less money

C. offer him/her the coffee for free

D. teach him/her a good lesson

22. It can be known from the passage that ________.

A. the cafe in Virginia is the first coffee shop to do so

B. people don’t believe the strategy because it is a joke

C. the French cafe made the rule just for fun at first

D. both French service and French customers are rude

23. What do you know about the strategy of the Petite Syrah cafe?

A. It is useless.                          B. It is boring.

C. It is unacceptable.                 D. It is effective.

On his way to the airport,it        him all of a sudden that he had forgotten his passport.

A.hit                                B.knocked                       C.occurred                      D.beat

March 8 marks the annual International Women’s Day. Around the world, women usually played a not well-known role in history. They were often buried with their unknown talents and amazing tales. Yet there are still some lucky ones whose stories have been recorded. Here are six talented ancient Chinese women who once impressed in their time, and still affect us in our time.

Praised as the “No.1 talented woman”, Li Qingzhao, a poet from the Song Dynasty, was born in Shandong province. She excelled at poetry and in ink painting and calligraphy (书法). Li was most well-known for her poems, which were divided into two contrasting styles reflecting her life as a married woman and a widow. Before her husband’s death, her poems were mainly about a carefree and happy life. The keynote turned into a sad tune after her husband passed away. However, Li was not a narrow-minded woman. Apart from expressing feminine (女性的) feelings and experiences, she also wrote poems praising war heroes and criticizing the corrupted emperor. As an example of female patriot, Li has a great effect on modern women’s literature.

Cai Wenji was good not only at poetry and calligraphy, but also mathematics, astronomy, debate and music. Her masterpieces were Hu Jia Shi Ba Pai. As the daughter of literatus Cai Yi of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cai had a very unusual life. After her first husband died, she was forced to marry Xiongnu tribe’s king. Living in a totally different environment, Cai was very homesick. Twelve years later, Cao Cao, a student of Cai Yi, rescued Cai from the Xiongnu tribe. At the age of 35, Cai got married for a third time in a union arranged by Cao to a man named Dong Si.

Ban Zhao was the first female historian in China. She was also good at writing poems, yet only seven of her works have survived. Ban was often invited by the emperor to teach the queen mathematics, astronomy and poetry. She was honored as Da Gu, a title for knowledgeable and noble women. At the age of 40, Ban finished Han Shu, based on her brother’s writings. A total of four people wrote the book, and Ban, as the last writer, faithfully kept the style of the first three. Ban Zhao also wrote Nv Jie, a book to teach women how to deal with relationships with their husbands and husbands’ relatives and how to properly behave.

Shangguan Wan’er was famous for being given an important position by the only female emperor, Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty. Despite Shangguan’s grandfather being killed for offending Wu, she was highly praised by the female emperor for her literary talent. She served as a key secretary to Wu and was called “a female prime minister” at the time. Shangguan changed court poetry so that it used more meaningful expressions than empty praise, and further developed her style based on her grandfather’s poems.

Su Hui was known for a handkerchief she made. It was embroidered (刺绣) with 841 characters that could form 7,958 poems. Named Xuan Ji Tu, the handkerchief was originally made by Su to send to her husband, Dou Tao. Su waited for her husband to come back after Dou’s exile (流放), yet Dou had an affair with another woman. Sad and angry, Su created the poems on a handkerchief in red, yellow, blue, white, black and purple silk thread and sent it to her husband. Dou was deeply moved by the poems, felt guilty for his behavior and reunited with Su.

When Xue Tao’s name was mentioned, people would think of the famous Xue Tao Jian, a sort of small-size colorful writing paper. It is recorded that Xue Tao created this colored paper to write poems. During her time, writing paper was yellow, yet Xue changed the simple color into different shades of red or green. Later, people made similar colorful paper and named them “Xue Tao Jian”. Xue had talent for poetry and music. Her poems were not limited to those private feminine feelings and emotions; she also expressed her empathy (共鸣) to soldiers on the frontier.

When I was a boy, I used to love walking in the woods around my home. My mom warned me several times never to travel so far that I would lose sight of the house. Being a typical boy, however, I soon found myself hiking further and further away, testing just how far I could go into the woods without getting lost. After losing my way once for two hours, though, I decided that I had better leave a trail the next time I went for a walk.

The very next day I decided to try it. I walked into the woods until the house was out of sight. Then I broke a small branch on a young tree to mark my place. I wandered further in and broke another limb and then another. In a few spots where there were no limbs small enough, I snapped the heads off the low plants that were growing where the sunlight broke through the trees. After a while I finally got tired and decided to head back. Turning around I easily found my tracks, but instead of being proud I felt sad. I could see the trail of destruction I had left in the woods going on and on. Looking at the broken limbs and dead flowers I wondered if God was disappointed in me and I vowed never to do that again. Instead, I started to cherish my times alone in the woods with nature. I’d sit by the streams and listen to them sing. I’d watch the birds and squirrels. I’d bend down to smell the flowers. And I even buried an acorn or two hoping that one day an Oak might grow.

There is an old Native American Saying that goes “We will be known forever by the tracks we leave.” As I have grown older and wiser, I have done my best to never leave a trail of destruction in my life as I did in the woods that day. I have instead tried to leave tracks of love, kindness, goodness, and compassion and I have strived to show others that they can do the same. May you always leave tracks of joy as you follow your own trail of love.

1. When the boy headed back from the woods, he felt sad because ______.

A. he lost his way in the woods

B. he could find his tracks so easily

C. he left many trails of destruction

D. God was very disappointed in him

2. The boy took off some branches to ______.

A. protect himself                        B. make his way out

C. see the sun clearly                        D. leave some marks

3. The author wrote the passage to ______.

A. call on us to leave tracks of virtues in life

B. inform us that we shouldn’t destroy trees

C. tell us how to avoid getting lost in the woods

D. show us ways to get back home in the forest

What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange, red?   36   . Do you prefer grays and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be pessimist（悲观主义者）. At least, this is what psychologists（心理学家）tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference, as well as the effect that colors have on human beings.   37   . If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.

        38   . A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day.    39    . A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides（自杀）than any other bridge in the area ----until it was repainted green . The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply. Perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.

         40   . It is an established fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey.

A.   Colors do influence our moods---there is no doubt about it.

B.   On the other hand, black is depressing.

C.   They tell us, among other facts, that we do not choose our favorite color as we grow up---we are born with our preference.

D.   The rooms are painted in different colors as you like.

E.   If you do, you must be an optimist, a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement.

F.    Light and bright colors make people not only happier but more active.

G.   Life is like a picture or a poem, full of different colors.

Dear Betty,

     My roommate’s family wants me to celebrate Thanksgiving Day with them in their home. I accepted the invitation, and I’m excited about going, but I’m a little nervous about it, too. The social customs in my country are different from those here, so I’m a little worried about making mistakes.

      Should I bring a gift, such as candy or flowers? Should I arrive on time or a little late?  At the dinner table, how can I know which fork or knife to use? How can I let the family know that I’m thankful for their kindness?

                                               Yours,

                                               Knowing Nothing

Dear Knowing Nothing,

     It’s a good idea to bring a gift when you go to a dinner party. Flowers are always welcome, or you can bring a bottle of wine if you know the family drink it.

     You should arrive on time or five to ten minutes late. Don’t get there early. If you are going to be more than fifteen minutes late, you should call and tell them.

     Try to relax at the dinner table. If you don’t know how to use the right fork, knife or spoon, just watch the other guests, and follow them. If you still have no idea of what to do, don’t be shy about asking the person next to you; it’s better to ask them than to be silently uncomfortable and nervous.

     If you like the food, say so. Of course, you’ll thank the host and hostess for the meal and for their kindness. It’s also a good idea to send a card to thank them the day after.

                                                                                 Yours,

                                                                                 Betty
