People just wonder ________ that makes the housing price so high．（　　）

A．what it is      B．what is it      C．why it does  D．Why does it

Cheerleading is the fastest growing girls' sport, yet more than half of Americans do not believe it is a sport. Actually, competitive cheerleading is a sport.

A sport is a “physical activity against/with an opponent, governed by rules and conditions under which a winner is declared, and the primary purpose of the competition is a comparison of the relative skills of the participants. "Because cheerleading follows these guidelines, it is a sport.

Competitive cheerleading includes lots of physical activities. Like gymnasts, cheerleaders must learn to tumble (翻滚) . They perform lifts and tosses. This is where the "flied' are thrown in the air, held by "bases" in different positions that require strength and cooperation with other teammates.

Just as basketball and football have guidelines for competitive play, so does competitive cheerleading. The whole routine has to be completed in less than 3 minutes and 15 seconds and the cheerleaders are required to stay within a certain area.

Competitive cheerleaders' goal is to be the best. Just like gymnasts, they are awarded points for difficulty, creativity and sharpness. The more difficult a mount, the sharper the motions, the better the score. Cheerleading is a team sport so without cooperation, first place is out of reach.

Cheerleading is the number-one cause of serious sports injuries to women. Emergency room visits for cheerleading are five times the number of those for any other sport, partially because they do not wear protective gear (特定活动的服装、设别）. While many athletes are equipped with hip pads or helmets, smiling cheerleaders are tossed into the air and spiral down into the arms of trusted teammates. The fliers must remain tight at all times so that their bases can catch them safely. Also, because cheerleading is not yet recognized as a sport by many schools, neither proper matting nor high enough ceilings are provided to ensure safety. Instead, the girls use whatever space is available. More recognition of competitive cheerleading as a sport would decrease the number of injuries.

So why do many Americans not think cheerleading is a sport? Some people argue that cheerleaders are just "flirts in skirts" with their only job to entertain the crowd, but cheerleaders today work just as hard as other athletes.

Hopefully, cheerleading will become as well-known a sport as football and basketball, and even appear in the Olympics since cheerleaders are just as athletic and physically fit as those involved in the more accepted sports.

It is named a kind of wooden Eiffel Tower,because of the fact the there was a large wooden platform far out in the lake on which stood an improbably high diving board.It was,I’m sure ,the county’s tallest wooden structure and no one had ever been known to jump from it.

So it was quite a shock when out teacher,Mr.David, announced that he would dive off the high board that very afternoon.

Word of his questionable plan was already spreading through town as Mr.David swam out to the platform.He was just a tiny,stick figure when he there but even from such a distance the high board,then took some deep breaths and finally stood at edge.He was going to do it.

Several hundred people had gathered at the shore to watch.Mr.David stood for quite a long time,then he raised his arms, took one massive bounce and launched himself into a perfect dive.It was beautiful.He fell with perfect style for what seemed minutes.The crowd fell silent.The only sound to be heard was the faint whistle of his body tearing through the air toward the water far,far below.

But about three quarters of the way down he seemed to have second thoughts and began suddenly to panic,waving his arms and legs like someone having a bad dream.When he was perhaps thirty feet above the water,he gave up on waving and his arms and legs wide,apparently hoping that it would somehow show his fall.

It didn’t.

He hit the water at over at over six hundred miles an hour.The impact was so loud that it made birds fly out of their trees miles away,I don’t think he entered the water at all.He just bounced off it,about fifteen feet back into the air.After that,he lay still on the surface,spinning like an autumn leaf.

He was brought to shore by two passing fishermen in a rowboat and placed on an old blanket where he spent the rest of the afternoon.Occasionally he accepted small sips of water,but otherwise was too shock to speak.From head to toe,he was covered with deep red bruises.

It was the best day of my life.

Canadian short story writer Alice Munro won the Nobel Prize for Literature. Eighty-two-year-old Munro is only the 13th woman to win the 112-year-old prize.    

 Munro didn’t publish her first collection of short stories until she was 37 years old, but her stories have always been well-received. Lots of her stories share similar themes and characters, but each story has its own twists and turns.     

Even though she’s won Canada’s most famous literary award, the Giller Prize twice, winning the Nobel Prize for Literature is the peak of Munro’s career. “It brings her incredible recognition, both of her and her career, and of the dedication( 投身，奉献 ) to the short story,” said one person.     

Along with the well-respected title comes 1.3 million dollars. Munro said everything was “so surprising and wonderful” and that she was “dazed by all the attention and affection that has been coming my way.”    

Munro knew she was in the list——she was named the second-most likely person to win this year’s prize, after Haruki Murakami (村上春树）of Japan——but she never thought that she would win.     

Munro’s win also represents the long way Canadian writers have come. “When I began writing there was a very small community of Canadian writers and little attention was paid by the world. Now Canadian writers are read, admired and respected around the globe,” Munro said on Thursday.    

 She is technically not the first Canadian to win the Nobel Prize for Literature, but many like to think that she is. In 1976 Saul Bellow, who was born in Quebec but moved to Chicago when he was still a child, won the prize. Even though he was born in Canada, he is mostly considered to be an American writer.    

 “This is a win for us all. Canadians, by our very nature, are not very nationalistic,” said Geoffrey Taylor. “But things like this suddenly make you want to find a flag.”    

 She wasn’t sure if she would keep writing if she won the prize, saying that it would be “nice to go out with a bang. But this may change my mind.”

32. What is the feature of Munro’s stories?       

A. They have complicated (复杂的)contents.   

B. They have similar story backgrounds.

C. They have specific themes for children.               

D. They have the same characters in each book.

33. For Munro, the Nobel Prize is an award for______.      

 A. her love for Canadian culture       B. her devotion to the short story      

 C. her special form of writing         D. her career of editing short stories 

34. What can you infer from the sixth paragraph?        

A. Canadian writers paid little attention to the prize.       

B. Canadian writers were respected across the globe.     

C. Canadian writers have long been ignored.       

D. Canadians come a long way to win the prize.

35. What does the passage mainly tell us?        

A. How Alice Munro wins the Nobel Prize   

B. An introduction to the Nobel Prize in Literature        

C. Alice Munro wins the Nobel Prize in Literature

D. A world famous writer, Alice Munro

Passwords reveal your personality

The word or phrase that you use to open your email account may provide a key to your personality as well as to your correspondence, according to a British psychologist. Helen Petrie, professor of human/computer interaction at City University in London, analysed the responses of 1,200 Britons who participated in a survey funded by CentralNic, an Internet domain-name company. The results were recently published on CentralNic’s website.

Petrie identifies three main password ‘genres’. ‘Family oriented’ respondents numbered nearly half of those surveyed. These people use their own name or nicknames, the name of a child, partner, or pet, or a birth date as their password. They tend to be occasional computer users and have strong family ties. ‘They choose passwords that symbolize people or events with emotional value.’says Petrie. One third of respondents were ‘fans’, using the names of athletes, singers, movie stars, fictional characters, or sports teams. Petrie says fans are young and want to ally themselves with the lifestyle represented by a celebrity. Two of the most popular names were Madonna and Homer Simpson. The third main group of participants are ‘cryptics’ because they pick unintelligible passwords or a random string of letters, numerals, and symbols such as ‘Jxa+157’. Petrie says cryptics are the most security-conscious group. They tend to make the safest but least interesting choices.

Passwords are revealing for two reasons. First, because they are invented on the spot. ‘Since you are focused on getting into a system, for example your email account, you’re likely to write down something that comes quickly to mind,’ says Petrie. ‘In this sense passwords tap into things that are just below the surface of consciousness. Also, to remember your password, you pick something that will stick in your mind. You may unconsciously choose something of particular emotional significance.’

21.   The survey was paid for by _______.

A.      Dr Petrie       B. City University          C. CentralNic                D. Homer Simpson

22.   According to the passage, if your password is ‘family oriented’, you ________.

A.      probably have a large family

B.      probably don’t use a computer very often

23.   People who belong to the ‘cryptic’ group ___________.

A.      worry about other people reading their emails.

B.      don’t spend much time trying to invent a password.

C.      can’t think of an interesting password.

D.     are hackers in the computer scene.

24.   Passwords say something about our personalities because ________.

A.      we are bound to invent something new.

B.      we think for a long time before choosing one.

C.      we choose something without thinking about it consciously.

D.     we choose words which we will remember easily.

Causes of sandstorms

In desert areas, dust sandstorms are most common caused by either thunderstorm outflows, or by strong pressure gradients (气压梯度) which cause an increase in wind speed over a wide area. In some cases, dust and sand may set a limit to a shallow depth by a low-lying temperature change,      1      

Drought is another cause of sandstorms, Poor farming practices make dust and sand free of protection from the wind.      2      A sandstorm can transport and carry large amounts of sand. Desert is a key source of sandstorms. Saharan sandstorms have increased about 10 times during the half century since the 1950s, causing topsoil loss in nearby countries. In Mauritania there were just two sandstorms a year in the early 1960s, but there are 80 a year today.

    3      

Sandstorms have also been shown to increase the spread of diseases across the globe. The virus In the dust is blown into the atmosphere by the storms. Some diseases may not be urgent at the very beginning, but they can develop into deadly ones if left untreated.     4     

Sandstorms cause soil loss from the dry lands, doing harm to agriculture. Sandstorms also reduce visibility (能见度) affecting airplanes and road transportation,     5      

Dust can also have good effects. Central and South American rainforests get most of their mineral nutrients from the Sahara; iron-poor ocean regions get iron.

A. Effects of sandstorms.

B. Bad results caused by sandstorms.

C. People know little about the effects of sandstorms.

D. In other cases, dust may be lifted as high as 6, 100 meters high.

E. Dryland farming is one of the most serious practices.

F. For example, a breathing problem can lead to lung cancer, while dry eyes

G. In addition, sandstorms also discourage visitors from visiting these places, which will strike tourism

When you look at your meals, some ingredients (原料) are easy to see. But your meals are also filled with ingredients you can’t see.

Salt is a perfect example of an ingredient that you might not notice, even when you eat a lot of it. But it’s the salt we can’t see that concerns scientists most. For years, doctors have warned patients that too much salt can be bad for their health. Heart trouble has long been considered a grown-up problem. New research suggests that salt is starting to affect kids. And salt isn’t the only cause of high blood pressure. Eating lots of junk food, weighing too much and exercising too little also contribute to high blood pressure.

As part of the studies, hundreds of adults ate exactly what researchers told them to. These studies lasted for months at a time. The results showed a large drop in blood pressure in people who ate extra fruits and vegetables, lots of whole grains, low-fat dairy products (奶制品) and only small amounts of red meat. Eating well, the researchers concluded, is good for your heart. What’s more, studies from around the world show that high blood pressure and heart disease rates are lowest in the places where people eat the least amount of salt and lots of vegetables.

The best way to reduce the amount of salt you take, researchers say, is to make changes gradually. Start by dropping half as much salt in your dinner as you normally do. Switch to fresh foods instead of canned and bottled ones. “Kids today need to give salt the shake,” says David Grotto, a doctor in Chicago, “in order to keep healthy.”

28. It can be concluded from the first two paragraphs that 　    　.

   A. meals are filled with lots of healthy ingredients. 

B. some hidden ingredients affect people’s health.

   C. eating too much salt leads to overweight.

What is the hottest topic at your school recently? In Taiyuan No. 55 Middle School, it’s money.

The school held an activity called “making money” last weekend. About 200 Junior 1 and Junior 2 students were divided into 30 teams. They went out to make money by selling things.

What did they choose to sell? Some sold newspapers; some chose bottled water; some sold environmentally friendly shopping bags and bamboo baskets.

       Hu Qing’s team decided to sell some useful books in front of the Children Activity Center. They thought parents would like to buy the books for their children. But unfortunately, they met urban management officers (城管). The officers asked them to leave. “We played hide-and-seek (捉迷藏) with the officers for the whole morning” said Hu. “Finally we had to give up.”

Wang Bing and her team sold ice cream in a square. They didn’t meet any officers. But few people were interested in what they were selling. The team then put up a board saying “For Country Kids”. It worked. More people came to their stall (小摊). A foreigner even gave them 100 yuan. “He didn’t want any change. He said he wanted to help the children,” said Wang. “We were touched.” Later that day they gave the 100 yuan and more to the “Project Hope” office.

       Meng Zhaoxiang and his team were luckier. They sold all their cakes in four hours, spending 39.5 yuan and getting back 80 yuan. They made 40.5 yuan. “It was not easy to make the money,” said Meng. “Some people just looked. Others just tasted but didn’t buy. Now I know how hard it is for our parents to make the money we need to lead happy lives.”

When her five daughters were young, Helene An always told them that there was strength in unity (团结). To show this, she held up one chopstick, representing one person. Then she easily broke it into two pieces. Next, she tied several chopsticks together, representing a family. She showed the girls it was hard to break the tied chopsticks. This lesson about family unity stayed with the daughters as they grew up.

Helene An and her family own a large restaurant business in California. However, when Helene and her husband Danny left their home in Vietnam in 1975, they didn't have much money. They moved their family to San Francisco. There they joined Danny's mother, Diana, who owned a small Italian sandwich shop. Soon afterwards, Helene and Diana changed the sandwich shop into a small Vietnamese restaurant. The five daughters helped in the restaurant when they were young. However, Helene did not want her daughters to always work in the family business because she thought it was too hard.

Eventually the girls all graduated from college and went away to work for themselves, but one by one, the daughters returned to work in the family business. They opened new restaurants in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Even though family members sometimes disagreed with each other, they worked together to make the business successful. Daughter Elisabeth explains, "Our mother taught us that to succeed we must have unity, and to have unity we must have peace. Without the strength of the family, there is no business."

Their expanding business became a large corporation in 1996, with three generations of Ans working together. Now the Ans' corporation makes more than $20 million each year. Although they began with a small restaurant, they had big dreams, and they worked together. Now they are a big success.
