   I was always blamed for watching too much cartoons. As I have said goodbye to my teenage, I shift to watching more movies to prove that I was a grown-up. Surprisingly, I found that movies have something in common with cartoons. They are unrealistic.

    Sometimes movies give people hope, including the hope of justice, the hope of tomorrow and almost everything else. A great number of people were once touched by certain movies. From time to time, movies try to deliver some decisive ideas to the audience. In this way, movies do cheer up many people to go on with their lives.

It seems that there is a set of formula(准则)in movies. We usually see the hero or heroine in the movies suffer a lot in the opening. Gradually and likely, the destination of them always comes to a turning point. So they have to struggle or make some important choices. Then the movie ends up with a happy finale. Or at least the hero finally manages to face his poor life with great courage somehow. However, when audience watch movies in the cinema, most of them just follow the story. Few of them may ask, “Will it happen in the real life？”

Movies are also imitating(模仿) the real life. Thus a movie, just like a novel, can never be the same as the real life. The setting of a movie is so ideal(理想的)that we could hardly find it out in reality. The moviemakers just try their best to persuade the audience to believe the story is true. In a word, it is all just make-believe.$来&源：ziyuanku.com

For quite a long time, I think that the adults’ world is realistic in the opposite way of the children’s cartoon. However, the movies from the adult world turn out to be a made-up thing. At the very moment, I suddenly realize that movies are somewhat of the adult’s fairy tales or cartoons.

To sum up, other than false(假造的)comfort such as movies and tales, we are more in need of the maturity(成熟) of mind, so that we can face our lives bravely and correctly.

24. With time going on, the author shifts to watching more movies because he thinks that_____.

A．they give him hope of justice and tomorrow in life

B．they are for adult and that he is now an adult

D．The audience know they are simply foolish stories.

26．The underlined word “make-believe” in Paragraph 4 probably means_____.

A．something imagined to be real

B．something too ideal to believe

C．a happy ending all the audience desire

D．a belief that is based on facts

27．According to the author, which of the following is the side effect (副作用)of the movies?　

A．People may be confused by them.

When Dave was eighteen, he bought a secondhand car for 200 so that he could travel to and from work more__41__ than by bus. It worked quite well for a few years, but then it got so old, and it was costing him _ 42 _much in repairs that he decided that he had better _43_it.

If you ask any group of teenagers in the UK what they most like to eat, foods like pizzas, curries, pasta, burgers and chips are bound to get a mention — and many young people would probably also list hanging out at the local fast­food restaurant as one of their favorite pastimes (消遣).

But what teenagers like to eat is not necessarily what they should be eating. According to the National Diet and Nutrition Survey, far too many young people in the UK between the ages of 4 and 18 consume too much fat, sugar and salt in their diet and take in too many calories. Meanwhile their intake of starchy carbohydrates (含淀粉的碳水化合物), fibre, iron, vitamins and calcium is too low.

For a growing body, eating foods containing plenty of calcium, such as milk, yoghourt and cheese, is particularly important as calcium is essential for the development of healthy, strong bones. Similarly, foods that are rich in iron are good for young, rapidly developing bodies, so red meat, bread, green vegetables, dried fruit and fortified (营养强化的) breakfast cereals(谷类，麦片） are also recommended.

It is during our teenage years that lifestyle habits can become entrenched (确立的), so it is crucial that young people are educated about what foods are good for them. In 2005, and in an attempt to change eating habits and open teenagers’ minds to new flavors and new tastes, celebrity chef Jamie Oliver launched a “Feed Me Better” campaign. As a part of television series, “Jamie’s School Diners”， he worked with teachers and cooks in a number of schools across the UK to provide more healthy, nutritious school meal options. Although there was initial resistance from some teenagers and parents, the campaign was generally hailed as (被赞为) a huge success and helped to influence governmental policy on nutritional standards for school meals.

No one expects to end the teenage love affair with fast and junk food but, hopefully, if projects like “Feed Me Better” and the Government’s own “Change 4 Life” campaign continue to give out the right messages, more young people will understand the importance of balancing occasional treats with healthier food options.

25．What can we conclude from the first two paragraphs?

A．What British teenagers like to eat is probably what their bodies need.

B．British teenagers need   to take in less calcium.

C．British teenagers eat too much junk food.

    D．British teenagers should reduce their intake of starchy carbohydrates.

26．Young people need calcium and iron ________.

A．to improve their brainpower         B．to build healthy strong bodies

C．to provide energy for their sports  D．to help change their eating habits

27．According to the article, Jamie Oliver launched a campaign at schools to ________.

A．show off his excellent cooking skills

B．teach students how to cook nutritious meals

C．introduce governmental policy on nutritional standards for school meals

D．draw the public’s attention to the importance of nutritious school meals

28．Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE according to the article?

A．Teenagers shouldn’t eat any junk food at all.

B．The government and parents should make efforts to make children understand

   the importance of a healthy diet.

C．It is OK to eat a little bit junk food, as long as you eat healthily most

   of the time.

D．Our eating habits are developed in our teenage years and then influence

   our lifestyle.

The world is filled with smart, talented, educated and gifted people. We meet them every day. A few days ago, my car was not running well. I pulled it into a garage and the young mechanic had it fixed in just a few minutes. He knew what was wrong by simply listening to the engine. I was amazed. The sad truth is: Great talent is not enough.

I am constantly shocked at how little talented people earn. I heard the other day that less than 5 percent of Americans earn more than $100, 000 a year. A business consultant who specializes in the medical trade was telling me how many doctors and dentists struggle financially. It was this business consultant who gave me the phrase, “They are one skill away from great wealth.”

There is an old saying that goes, “Job means just over broke (破产)' ”. And unfortunately, I would say that the saying applies to millions of people. Because school does not think financial intelligence is intelligence, most workers “live within their means”. They work and they pay the bills. Instead I recommend to young people to seek work for what they will learn, more than what they will earn.

When I ask the classes I teach, “How many of you can cook a better hamburger than McDonald’s?” almost all the students raise their hands. I then ask, “So if most of you can cook a better hamburger, how come McDonald’s makes more money than you?” The answer is obvious: McDonald’s is excellent at business systems. The reason so many talented people are poor is because they focus on bui1ding a better hamburger and know little or nothing about business systems. The world is filled with talented poor people. They focus on perfecting their skills at building a better hamburger rather than the skills of selling and delivering the hamburger.

For centuries, people have wondered about the strange things that they dream about. Some psychologists say that this nighttime activity of the mind has no special meaning. Others, however, think that dreams are an important part of our lives. In fact, many experts believe that dreams can tell us about a person's mind and emotions.

　　Before modern times, many people thought that dreams contained messages from God. It was only in the twentieth century that people started to study dreams in a scientific way.

　　The Austrian psychologist, Sigmund Freud, was probably the first person to study dreams scientifically. He believed that dreams allow people to express the feelings, thoughts, and fears that they are afraid to express in real life.

　　The Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung, once a student of Freud' s. Jung, however, believed that the purpose of a dream was to communicate a message to the dreamer. He thought people could learn more about themselves by thinking about their dreams. For example, people who dream about falling may learn that they have too high an opinion of themselves. On the other hand, people who dream about being heroes may learn that they think too little of themselves.

Modern-day psychologists continue to develop theories about dreams. For example,　psychologist William Domhoff from UCSC (the University of California, Santa Cruz), believes that dreaming is a mental (精神的) skill that needs time to develop. His research shows that children do not dream as much as adults.

Another psychologist Adam Schneider, also from UCSC, has found that the dreams of men and women are different. For example, the people in men’s dreams are often other men, and the dreams often involve fighting. This is not true of women's dreams.

Can dreams help us understand ourselves? Psychologists continue to try to answer this question in different ways. However, one thing they agree on is this: If you dream that something terrible is going to occur, you shouldn't panic. The dream may have meaning, but it does not mean that some terrible event will actually take place.

32. Before the 1900s, ______.

 A. people considered dreams meaningless

B. there were no scientific studies of dreams

C. psychologists had no idea about dreams

D. dreams were thought to happen only at night

33. We can infer from Carl Jung’s research that _______.

  A. he disagreed with Freud’s idea about dreams

B. dreams are an expression of a person’s wishes

C. he proved that Freud’s idea about dreams was true

D. how people think of themselves is affected by their dreams

 34. Who found a connection between dreams and age?

   A. Carl Jung     B. Adam Schneider   C. Sigmund Freud    D. William Domhoff

 35. What’s the best title for the text?

   A. What’s Dream?                       B. Are Dreams Real?    

C. Famous Dream Psychologists            D. Dreams’ Influences on People’s Life

Maybe ten-­year­-old Elizabeth put it best when she said to her father, “But, Dad, you can’t be healthy if you’re dead.”

Dad, in a hurry to get home before dark so he could go for a run, had forgotten to wear his safety belt—a mistake 75% of the US population makes every day. The big question is why.

There have been many myths about safety belts ever since their first appearance in cars some forty years ago. The following are three of the most common.

Myth Number One：It’s best to be “thrown clear” of a serious accident.

Truth: Sorry, but any accident serious enough to “throw you clear” is also going to be serious enough to give you a very bad landing. And chances are you’ll have traveled through a windshield(挡风玻璃) or door to do it. Studies show that chances of dying after a car accident are twenty ­five times greater in cases where people are “thrown clear”.

Myth Number Two: Safety belts “trap” people in cars that are burning or sinking in water.

Truth: Sorry again, but studies show that people knocked unconscious due to not wearing safety belts have a greater chance of dying in these accidents. People wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having a clear head to free themselves from such dangerous situation，not to be trapped in them.

Myth Number Three: Safety belts aren’t needed at speeds of less than 30 miles per hour(mph).

Truth: When two cars traveling at 30 mph hit each other, an unbelted driver would meet the windshield with a force equal to diving head first into the ground from a height of 10 meters.

25. Why did Elizabeth say to her father, “But, Dad, you can’t be healthy if you’re dead.”?

A. He was driving at great speed.        B. He was running across the street.

C. He didn’t have his safety belt on.    D. He didn’t take his medicine on time.

26. According to the text，to be “thrown clear” of a serious accident is very dangerous because you ______.

A. may be knocked down by other cars

B. may get seriously hurt being thrown out of the car

C. may find it impossible to get away from the seat

D. may get caught in the car door

27. Some people prefer to drive without wearing a safety belt because they believe ________.

A. the belt prevents them from escaping in an accident

B. they will be unable to think clearly in an accident

C. they will be caught when help comes

D. cars catch fire easily.

 It is only gradually, with the passing of years, _____ to a clear understanding of their position.

A. that they come   B. do they come        C. that come        D. when they come

There is a famous story about British poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge. He was writing a poem when he was interrupted by a knock at the door.

This was an age before telephones. Someone was delivering a message. When Coleridge got back to his poem, he had lost his inspiration. His poetic mood had been broken by the knock on his door. His unfinished poem, which could otherwise have been a masterpiece, would now never be more than a little piece.

This story tells how unexpected communication can destroy an important thought, which brings us to the cell phone.

The most common complaint about cell phones is that people talk on them to the annoyance of people around them. But more damaging may be the cell phone’s interruption of our thoughts.

We have already entered a golden age of little white lies about our cell phones, and this is by and large (大体上) a healthy, protective development. “I didn’t hear it ring” or “I didn’t realize my phone had shut off” are among the lies we tell to give ourselves space where we’re beyond reach.

The notion of being unreachable is not a new concept—we have “Do Not Disturb” sign on the doors of hotel rooms. So why must we feel guilty when it comes to cell phones? Why must we apologize if we decide to shut off the phone for a while?

Now time alone, or a conversation with someone next to us which cannot be interrupted by a phone, is something to be cherished. Even cell phone devotees（信徒）, myself usually included, can’t help at times wanting to throw their phones away, or curse(咒骂) the day they were invented.

But we don’t and won’t, and there really is no need. All that’s required to take back our private time is a general social recognition that we have the right to it. In other words, we have to develop a healthy contempt (轻视)for the rings of our own phones.

A cell phone call deserves no greater priority than a random word from the person next to us，though the call on my cell phone may be the one-in-a-million from Steven Spielberg—who has finally read my novel and wants to make it his next movie. But most likely it is not, and I’m better off thinking about the idea I just had for a new story, or the slice of pizza I’ll eat for lunch.

25. What is the point of the story about the poet Coleridge in the first three paragraphs?

A. To emphasize the disadvantage of not having a cell phone.

B. To encourage readers to read the works of this poet.

C. To show how important inspiration is to a poet.

D. To direct readers’ attention to the main topic.

26. What does the writer think about people telling “white lies” about their cell phones?

A. It is a way of signaling that you don’t like the caller.

B. It is basically a good way to protect one’s privacy.

C. We should feel guilty when we can’t tell the truth. 

D. It is natural to tell lies about small things.

27. According to the author, what is the most annoying problem caused by cell phones?

A. Cell phones interrupt people’s private time.

B. With cell phones it is no longer possible to be unreachable.

C. People feel guilty when they are not able to answer their cell phones.

D. People get so addicted to the cell phone rings that they fail to notice anything else.

28. What does the last paragraph imply?

A. Never let cell phones disturb your life too much.

B. A person who calls us from afar deserves more of our attention.

C. Steven Spielberg once called the author to talk about the author’s novel.

D. You should always finish your lunch before you answer a call on the cell phone.

   Last Friday, we had a lesson and it was really unforgettable because it was the last lesson giving by our kind English teacher, Mr. Tang. When Mr. Tang slowly went into the classroom, we could see clear that it was hard for him to leave us thought he has taught us for only three months. We all listened attentively for every word he said. If only we had behaved like this before! The naughty boys who unusually did well that day. all of us had the common feeling that we wouldn’t let her go. As the saying goes, “Only when we lose something will we realize the value of it.” At last, the ball ring. Mr. Tang looked at us all affectionately but hoped that we would make progresses in our study. What unforgettable lesson!
