Everyone would like to be a millionaire, a person with a lot of money, but can you imagine having over $30 million and only being 20 years old? Britney Spears from Kentwood, a small town in Louisiana, is only 20 years old. She is a world famous film star with not only $30 million but also a $2 million house in LA. At her young age, she can look after her family financially (经济上) all her life. This year is a big year for Britney. She is now on a 31-day tour of the US and every concert is a sell-out. That means she plays in front of a crowd of around 18,000 people every time. It’s a tiring schedule but brings her a lot. When touring, she goes to bed around 1 a.m. and then has a lie-in until 1 p.m. the next day. Her philosophy (人生观) is to take care of the body and relax but always make sure you work hard and have fun.
    Spears is not pleased with only touring and selling nearly 40 million records so she decided to step into the movie business and try a bit of acting. She made an appearance in “Austin Power 3” this year and she is filming a teenage light play that will come out in March 2003. In this movie, she has a starring role.
    For Britney, acting is another way to express herself and she is enthusiastic (热心的) about it all. If her movies are successful, her money in the bank is sure to grow by another few million dollars but she does it for the love, not the money, as she herself tells the reporters .
28. We can infer (推断) from the text that most millionaires are __________.
   A. older than 20     B. around 20     C. in their 30s     D. in their 40s
29. The underlined word “you” in the first paragraph refers to __________.
   A. a person in general                  B. a special person
   C. Britney Spears                       D. a person interested in money
30 Which of the following is not true according to the text?
   A. Though young, Britney can support her family now.
   B. While touring, Britney sleeps about 12 hours a day.
   C. The teenage movie was starred by Britney.
   D. Britney will be even richer with her movies successful.
31. According to Britney Spears, she works __________.
   A. to be a great actress        B. for the enjoyment  

C. for money                D. to be more famous.

Where would you most like to go on vacation? Paris? London? The Amazon Rainforest? Each of these destinations is attractive. 　36　

As a new word, staycation refers to people staying at home during their vacation time, and going sightseeing around their hometown.

Staycations have become really popular recently, as a way of having an enjoyable vacation, without spending too much money. There are shortcomings to every positive thing, however.

　37　You also might prevent yourself from enjoying things to the fullest, as the atmosphere might be the same as any other time.

　38　It means you won't be available for work or other activities.

What can you do to make your staycation fun?

1.Go to a nearby town, or to a fancy hotel in your hometown and stay over night. Treat yourself to room service and any other fun things the hotel has to offer.

2. 　39　You would have done it on a vacation, right? Treat yourself to this, at least for one day!

3.Throw a small party. Think about the money you are saving by not going away. You will still save money, but have more fun, and you will help other people to have fun too!

4.Go shopping! Window shopping, or the super fun type, where you buy things! You would have bought souvenirs (纪念品) if you had gone on a vacation, so treat yourself during your staycation!

The most important thing to remember is to do things that make you and your family excited! 　40　

A. Eat out for every meal!

B. Go on a day trip to a nearby town, or to a beach.

C. But why not remain at home and enjoy a staycation?

E. Most of the time it involves dining out more frequently than usual.

  I as well as my parents are going to New York City this month. I had been looking forward to visit there for a long time. It is one of the most beautiful cities all over the world. There are many places of interests where you can learn it in school. I’d also like to see the Empire State Building. Unfortunate, the Twin Towers were destroyed in September 11,2001, and I would have the chance to see them by himself. Now I am getting ready for the excited trip. I am sure it will be an unforgettable experience.

Eyesight plays a very important role in our daily life. Every waking moment, the eyes are working to see the world around us. Over forty percent of Americans worry about losing eyesight, but it's easy to include steps into our daily life to ensure healthy eyes. Here are five suggestions for a lifetime of healthy eyesight：

• Schedule yearly exams.   36   Experts advise parents to bring babies 6 to 12 months of age to the doctor for a careful check. The good news is that millions of children now can have yearly eye exams and following treatment, including eyeglasses.

• Protect against UV rays (紫外线)．Long-term stay in the sun creates risk to your eyes. No matter what the season is, it’s extremely important to wear sunglasses.   37 

• Give your eyes a break. Two-thirds of Americans spend up to seven hours a day using computers or other digital products.   38   Experts recommend that people practice the 20/20/20 rule: every 20 minutes, take a 20-second break and look at something 20 feet away.

•  39   As part of a healthy diet, eat more fruits and vegetables each day. Vitamins(维生素) C and E help protect eyesight and promote eye health.

• Practice safe wear and care of contact lenses (隐形眼镜)．Many Americans use contact lenses to improve their eyesight. While some follow the medical guidance for wearing contact lenses, many are breaking the rules and putting their eyesight at risk.   40   Otherwise, you may have problems such as red eyes, pain in the eyes, or a more serious condition.

A. Eat your greens.

B. Eye care should begin early in life.

C. They can properly protect your eyes.

D. Stay in good shape by taking more Vitamins.

E. Parents usually don't care about their own eyesight.

F. Always follow the doctor's advice for appropriate wear.

G. This frequent eye activity increases the risk for eye tiredness.

 When and where this took place _____ still unknown.

A. is                  B. has

C. were                D. are

Scott and his companions were terribly disappointed. When they got to the South Pole, they found the Norwegians（挪威人）had  16  them in the race to be the first ever to reach it. After  17    the British flag at the Pole, they took a photograph of themselves  18  they started the 950-mile journey back.

The journey was unexpectedly  19  and the joy and excitement about the Pole had gone out of them. The sun hardly  20 . The snow storms always made it impossible to sight the stones they had 21  to mark their way home. To make things  22 . Evans, whom they had all thought of  23  the strongest of the five, fell badly into a deep hole in the ice. Having  24    along for several days, he suddenly fell down and died.

The four who were  25  pushed on at the best speed they could  26 . Captain Oates had been suffering for some time from his  27  fact; at night his feet swelled（肿胀） so large that he could  28     put his boots on the next morning, and he walked bravely although he was in great  29  . He knew his slowness was making it less likely that 30    could save themselves. He asked them to leave him behind in his sleeping-bag, but they refused, and helped him  31 a few more miles, until it was time to put up the  32  for another night.

The following morning, 33  the other three were still in their sleeping-bags, he said. “I am just going outside and may be 34 some time.” He was never seen again. He had walked out  35  into the snow storm, hoping that his death would help his companions.

   A higher reading rate, with no loss of comprehension, will help you in other subjects as well as in English, and the general principles apply to any language. Naturally, you will not read every book at the same speed. You would expect to read a newspaper, for example, much faster than a physics or economics textbook-but you can raise your average reading speed over the whole range of materials you wish to cover so that the percentage gained will be the same whatever kind of reading you are concerned with.

The reading passages which follow are all of an average level of difficulty for your stage of instruction. They are all about five hundred words long. They are about topics of general interest which do not require a great deal of specialized knowledge. Thus they fall between the kind of reading you might find in your textbooks and the much less demanding kind you will find in a newspaper or light novel. If you read this kind of English, with understanding at four hundred words per minute, you might skim (浏览) through a newspaper at perhaps 650-700, while with a difficult textbook you might drop to two hundred or two hundred and fifty.

Perhaps you would like to know what reading speeds are common among native English-speaking university students and how those speeds can be improved. Tests in Minnesota, USA, for example, have shown that students without special training can read English of average difficulty, for example, Tolstoy's War and Peace in translation, at speeds of between 240 and 250 words per minute with about seventy percent comprehension. Students in Minnesota claim that after twelve half-hour lessons, once a week, the reading speed can be increased, with no loss of comprehension, to around five hundred words per minute.

13. According to the passage, the purpose of effective（有效的）reading with higher speed is most likely to help you ________.

A. read a physics textbook only

B. improve your understanding of an economics textbook

C. study not only English but also other subjects

D. choose the suitable materials for you to practise reading

14. Which of the following does not describe the types of reading materials mentioned in the second paragraph?

A. Those beyond one's reading comprehension.

B. Those concerned with common knowledge.

C. Those concerned with specialized knowledge.

D. Those with the length of about five hundred words.

15. The average speed of untrained native speakers in the University of Minnesota is ________.

A. about 300 words per minute

B. about 245 words per minute

C. about 650-700 words per minute

D. about 500 words per minute

16. According to the passage, how fast can you expect to read after you have attended twelve half-hour lessons in the University of Minnesota?

A. You can increase your reading speed by three times.

B. No real increase in reading speed can be achieved.

C. Yon can increase your reading speed by four times.

D. You can double your reading speed.

    In one of the old buildings near our school,one could see an old man sitting by a large window on the first floor,His name was James.During the three years at school,I had hardly ever found him missing from his usual position.

That was a turning point in his life.He made a decision to devote his life to helping others,particularly the poor and needy patients and their companions.He began to spend much of his income on these people.Since this required much time and energy,he found it difficult to fulfill his official duties and therefore chose to retire,which,in turn,reduced his income considerably.

His wife was deeply worried.Most of the time,James was out and paid least attention to home affairs.Meanwhile,as he was spending a lot helping others,she had struggle even to meet the household expenses.Though she was not against his helping the poor,she urged him not to ignore his own home and life,but it had no effect on him.She decided to leave him ,never to return.Though he continued his work, this  was a great blow and did serious harm to his health and enthusiasm and he was soon forced to stay indoors.That was when he took his position by the window,spending his time looking outside.

A few weeks after my graduation,I returned to school,only to find the building gone.I heard that they were torn down.Everyone left except James.He refused to go and the next morning,he was found at his usual place by the window,dead.

21. What changed James view toward life?

A.his decision to retire

B.the departure of his wife

C.the argument with his wife

D.his devotion to helping others

The clock struck eleven at night. The whole house was quiet. Everyone was in bed except me. Under the strong light, I looked sadly before a huge pile of troublesome stuff they call “books”. I was going to have my examination the next day. "When can I go to bed?" I asked myself. I didn’t answer, in fact I dared not.     The clock struck 12."Oh, dear!"
