Cats are animals of habit. They like to go to sleepy about same time every day and for a certain length of time. They seem to have natural clock inside them that tells them when sleeping. Besides their regular sleep, cats take naps(打盹). Some scientists think that people should also take cat nap. The habit would do good for people's health. Cat naps helped build up energy in the body. Since cats have moods(情绪) like these of people, scientists believe that people can improve their moods with cat-napping. People might become more happier and more active.

The Internet can be a great way to connect with people. The latest web craze is social networking on websites such as MySpace. More than 65 million young people use online social networking sites.

That cyberspace(网络空间)trend is causing problems in school, however. In a recent survey, nearly 36 percent of school administrators said that social networking sites troubled learning in their districts. Should school districts ban sites like MySpace?

Teachers are worried that some students use social networking to post personal information and to cyber bully(恐吓)other students. One of the biggest dangers comes from people who find out kid’s personal information.

Many districts have blocked students from accessing or using social networking sites from school computers, and some have suspended(暂缓)students for posting harmful material on those sites from their home computers. Nearly two-thirds of US kids have computers in their homes, according to the US Census Bureau.

“It is important to keep in mind that just blocking access to social web sites at school is not the end of the story,” warns NSBA executive director Anne Bryant, “Most of the misuse of these sites takes place at home but still affects the classroom.”

Some educators aren’t as quick to pull the plug on social networking. They say the main problem with sites like MySpace is that students don’t understand the dangers involved in using them. “Many students are posting personal information about themselves without regard to who has access to that information,” Jim Hirsch said, “Schools should focus on educating their students and their parents on how to be safe online.”

Experts argue that too many schools are forbidding students to use social networking web sites without thinking about their educational benefits. “Social networking web sites can help connect students in the United States to their peers in other countries, providing invaluable lessons in foreign cultures,” explains Hirsch.

29．Where do students usually misuse social networking sites?

A. At the teacher’s office.

B. At the net bar.

C. At the classroom.

D. At home.

30．The underlined sentence in Paragraph 6 may mean ___________.

A. some educators are in favor of students’ using social networking sites

B. some educators can’t block students from accessing social networking sites

C. some educators can’t connect social networking sites easily

D. some educators find it difficult to close social networking sites

31．Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. The Internet can’t be a good bridge to get along well with students.

B. There are some students threatening other students by using social networking.

C. Most of the misuse of these social web sites takes place at school and affects the home.

D. Too many schools allow students to use social networking sites without Question.

32．What might be the most suitable title for the passage?

A. Lessons Online?                B. Friendship Online?

C. Dangers Online?                D. Information Online?

Edinburgh is the capital city of Scotland, and has long been a favorite destination of tourists from all over the world, as well as an important cultural and political center.

With its museums, shops, wonderful historic castle, and many pubs and restaurants, there are many things for visitors to enjoy all year round. And of course, as it is in Scotland, there are a wide range of whiskies to try!

However, there is more to Edinburgh than historic monuments and tourism. Each year, the Edinburgh Festival takes place in the city. In late summer, for three weeks, the festival presents classical music, theater, opera and dance at six major theaters and concert halls—and several smaller ones—throughout the city. Whatever your cultural tastes, you are sure to find something to enjoy.

Local talent is always represented at the Edinburgh Festival giving Scottish composers and playwrights the opportunity to showcase their work and gain recognition from a wider audience.

In addition, orchestras (管弦乐队) and theater companies come from all over the world to perform at the prestigious (有名望的) festival. Last year saw the arrival of orchestras from the United States and Germany.

The festival has now become an important part of Scotland’s economy as well as its culture. Last year’s festival generated over ￡130 million expenditure in Edinburgh alone, and across Scotland nearly 2,900 jobs exist as a direct result of the festival.

The festival is so popular that it has become, in some ways, a victim of its own success. The huge interest in performing there led to the setting up of a rival (竞争的) festival, the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Fortunately, demand for live entertainment during the summer is so great that both festivals continue to thrive (兴旺).

The Fringe tends to feature mostly comedy and experimental works. Yet it can lead to great things ---- many famous and successful comedians and artists, such as Rowan Atkinson, better known as TV’s Mr. Bean, started their careers in small venues at the Fringe.

4. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?

  A. The festival is economically important for Scotland.

B. Many people in Scotland rely on the festival for their jobs.

  C. Local performers challenge bands from all over the world.

D. One is sure to find something to enjoy during the festival.

5. What does the underlined part“a victim of its own success” most probably mean?

  A. A prestigious band for its successful performance.

B. An unsuccessful performance without good preparation.

  C. An orchestra from another country performing in Edinburgh.

  D. A festival that causes trouble for itself because of great success.

6. What we can learn from the passage is that ________.

A. the Edinburgh Festival attracts audience across the world

  B. both festivals win good recognition from a wide audience

  C. the Fringe was set up in the hope of accepting the challenge

  D. many comedians and artists took off overnight at the Fringe

7. Which of the following can be the best titlefor this passage?

  A. Edinburgh ------ A City of Culture          B. Edinburgh ------ A Tourist Attraction

  C. Edinburgh ------ A Political Center          D. Edinburgh ------ A Place to Try Whiskies

W: Hi, Mr. Lee, I am   41   reporter from the New York Times. It will be great   42   you can tell me some information about chopsticks,   43    their origin and the materials they are made from.

M: Good question. Chopsticks originated in China, but they are  44   (wide) used in many Asian countries. Chopsticks may be made of any of the   45  (follow) materials: bamboo, wood, gold, silver, ivory, or plastic, and they may be   46   round or square. Some chopsticks are decorated   47  colored pictures. Ordinary chopsticks used in Chinese homes are made of wood or bamboo. In ancient times, the rich used jade or gold chopsticks to display their wealth. Many kings and emperors used silver chopsticks to see if their food had been poisoned.

W: OK, thank you. And I’d like to know why Chinese people use chopsticks.   48   not knives and forks, like Americans?

M: Oh, that is a good question. I think Chinese people choose chopsticks, rather than knives and forks, because Chinese people, under the influence of Confucianism, have traditionally   49   

(consider) knives and forks as symbolizing a type of violence. On the other hand, chopsticks reflect   50  (gentle) and kindness. And maybe Chinese food simply seems to taste better when eaten with chopsticks.

A couple in South Carolina has been eagerly seeking an organ donor. They haven’t found one   36   . But they did find something else: friends.

Larry Swilling and his wife Jimmie Sue have been happily   37   for 56 years. So happily, in fact, that Larry has now come to realize he can’t   38   without his wife. “She’s my heart,” he said. The problem with Jimmie Sue is that she   39   a kidney(肾). Jimmie Sue was born with only one, and now that doesn’t   40   . She needs a transplant but neither her husband, nor anyone tested in her family, is a   41   match.

Jimmie Sue is trying to get on a donor list, but the   42   is about two or three years long and that’s for a kidney from a dead donor. Transplant patients who get their kidneys from living donors tend to live   43   . That is why Larry decided to try to ask for it, from total strangers.

“I don’t  44   what people think,” Larry said. He tells his wife, “I’m going to   45   you a kidney.” And on the street, wearing a signboard “Need kidney for my wife”, he’s not shy in asking  46   :“Could I use your kidney?” For the last couple weeks, Larry, at 77, has been walking all over his

hometown and the surrounding towns-basically  47  a kidney. He didn’t really think it would work.   48   he said, “I had to do something.” He didn’t feel   49   when the phone rang. “I’m willing to donate a kidney for your   50   ,” one caller said. “I’d like nothing more than to help you out,” said another.

Believe it or not, over the last few days the   51   hasn’t stopped ringing. Hundreds of people who either saw his sign or heard about it have   52   . One volunteer said, “I’ve got two, but I   53   need one.” Larry hasn’t found a match for his wife, but at least he has already had enough volunteers and   54    enough awareness to save someone. “If I get a kidney, it’s fine. If I don’t, I hope someone else does,” the wife said. And that’s why Larry is still out there, appealing to the   55   of strangers for the love of his wife.

Were you the first or the last child in your family? Or were you a middle or an only child? Some people think 61 matters where you were born in your family. But there are different ideas about what birth order means. Some people say that oldest children, 62 are smart and strong-willed, are very likely 63 (succeed). The reason 64 this is simple. Parents have a lot of time for their first child and give him or her a lot of attention. An only child will succeed for 65 same reason.

   What happens to the 66 children in the family? Middle children don’t get so much attention, so they don’t feel that important. If a family has many children, the middle one sometimes gets lost in the crowd. The youngest child, 67 , often gets special treatment. Often this child grows up to be funny. But a recent study saw things quite 68 (different). The study found that first children believed in family rules. They didn’t take many chances in 69 lives. They usually 70 (follow) orders. Rules didn’t mean as much to later children in the family. They took chances and they often did better in life.

It’s the Thought That Matters

This past Christmas was one of the best I have ever had. This was made possible by my sister, Amy. She is eight years older and has already made it into “real world”.

My sister bought me three wonderful gifts,   41   only one would capture my heart forever. First she   42   me the smallest. Because Amy is careful with her actions, I knew this was her   43   favourite. It was a bottle of perfume. I was happy with it, yet   44   about what lay ahead. Next she handed me a box. After      45   away the wrapping paper, I found a stylish and expensive sweater. I was deeply moved that my sister was so   46  . Then she handed me the  47   gift. Judging by the familiar size and   48  , I knew it was a CD. It was the soundtrack to the movie “Rocky”, with songs inspiring to all athletes, dreamers…I   49   loved it, but not as much as I would after what my sister explained to me.

She was   50   to a knee injury that   51   me half of my soccer season. I desired to be with my team-mates and   52   each minute I sat on the bench. I tried hard, hoping my knee injury would heal soon. This was what led my sister to buy that CD.

After mentioning what was behind the   53  , Amy played the CD for me. Even though I had heard those songs a thousand times, each note struck me as if it was   54  . It played in my soul and on my emotions. I   55   breathlessly, as the words “Trying hard now. It’s so hard now” sounded through the room. It   56  me in a way beyond the happiness most gifts could bring. I couldn’t   57   crying and hugged my sister. Knowing that my sister had   58   my problem so deeply made me realize that I am the   59   little sister in the world. I had never received a gift with so much   60   behind it! I’ll cherish it forever.

     Most drinks stating that they are fruit ¬flavored (水果味道的) contain no fruit at all, while most of the rest contain only a small quantity of fruit, according to a study carried by the British Food Commission.

   “Shoppers need to check the labels (标签) before buying drinks, though sometimes the actual content can be non-existent，” said Food Commission spokesperson Ian Tokelove. “Food production is highly competitive. __11.__ It will increase profits, and consumers won't always realize they are being tricked.”

    Flavorings are focused on the flavors of natural food products such as fruits, meats and vegetables, or creating flavor for food products that do not have the desired flavors. Researchers analyzed the contents of 28 strawberry ¬flavored products sold in stores.  __12.__ Of the 11 products that did contain strawberries, five of them contained less than one percent real fruit. In addition, each juice box contained nearly eight teaspoons of sugar.

__13.__ Let's take jam as an example. Some strawberry ¬flavored jam was labeled

as containing no artificial colors, flavors, or sweeteners, but it contained absolutely no strawberries at all.

    __14.__ Consumers have the rights to know clearly about what they have bought. Under current UK law, food packages do not have to distinguish between natural and artificial flavoring. “Describing a product as strawberry flavor and covering the surface of the packet with pictures of strawberries is misleading.  __15.__ Unfortunately, it is also legal and widespread,” Tokelove said. “It's time to take measures to protect the consumers' rights.”

A. The products which contain real fruit are popular with people.

B. Even products advertised as more natural often contained no fruit.

C. They found that about 60 percent of them didn't contain any fruit at all.

D. If companies can cut their costs by using flavoring, they are likely to do so.

E. It is important and necessary to demand a small amount of flavoring in the products.

F. Actually the product contains just a tiny percentage of strawberry or even no fruit at all.

G. The Food Commission suggested all flavors used in a product should be listed on the packaging.
