One day I was taking a bus. The driver didn't 41 to start the bus soon because it was not yet 42 .A middle-aged woman got on. Tired and sad, she told her story 43 , not to anyone particular. On her way to the station, half of her 44 was stolen. The other half was hidden under her blouse, so she 45 still had some left. A few minutes later, she stopped crying, but still looked 46 .
When all the seats were taken, the driver started the engine. The conductor began to collect the fares. When she came to an old man in worn-out clothes, he 47 that he had spent all his money as he accidentally got on a wrong bus and now was trying to go home. On hearing this, she ordered the old man to 48 the bus. The old man was almost in tears as he 49 her to let him take the bus home. The driver took the conductor's side and repeated the conductor's 50 .
The woman was watching the incident. 51 the driver and the conductor raised their voices at the old man, she interfered.
“Stop 52 him! Can't you see he's only trying to get home” “He doesn't have any money!” the driver 53 .
“Well, that's no 54 to throw him off the bus.” She insisted.
Then she reached inside her blouse, took out her 55 money, and handed it to the conductor. “Here's his fare and mine. Just stop giving him a 56 time.
All heads turned to the woman. “It's only money,” she shrugged.
She rode the rest of her way home 57 a happy smile, with the money she'd lost earlier 58. On the road of life, the help of strangers can 59 our loads and lift our spirits. How much sweeter the

Kids’ health:Four steps for fighting stress
Everybody gets stressed from time to time. 36 Some ways of dealing with stress—like screaming or hitting someone—don’t solve(解决) much.But other ways,like talking to someone you trust,can lead you to solving your problem or at least feeling better.
Try taking these four steps the next time you are stressed:
(1)Get support.When you need help,reach out to the people who care about you.Talk to a trusted adult,such as a parent or other relatives. 37 They might have had similar problems,such as dealing with a test,or the death of a beloved pet.
(2)Don’t take it out on yourself.Sometimes when kids are stressed and upset they take it out on themselves.Oh,dear,that’s not a good idea.Remember that there are always people to help you.Don’t take it out on yourself. 38
(3)Try to solve the problem.After you’re calm and you have support from adults and friends,it’s time to get down to business. 39 Even if you can’t solve it all,you can solve a piece of it.
(4)Be positive. Most stress is temporary(暂时的).Remember stress does go away, especially when you figure out the problem and start working on solving it.
These steps aren’t magic, but they do work. And if you can stay positive as you make your way through a tough time, you’ll help yourself feel better even faster. 40
A.Ask for a helping hand to get you through the tough situation.
B.Notice your friends’ feelings and find a way to help them.
C.Different people feel stress in different ways.
D.Ah,it feels so good when the stress is gone.
E.You need to figure out what the problem is.
F.And don’t forget about your friends.
G.Then,find a way to calm down.

Dear Mike,
Thank you for your e-mail. I'd like tell you something about the English Club of our school.
I am a member of the English Club, which is set up by the Student Union three years before. A lot of teachers and students who are interest in English will gather at the multimedia classroom in every Saturday afternoon. There we usually see English movie, learn to sing English songs but debate on hot topics. Through these activities, we can broaden us horizons and learn about west culture. What’s more, we have great fun being together. The English Club is of great help to me on many ways.

New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day is not given the same kind of important in Western countries such as Australia, Canada, England and the USA. In New Year’s Eve, Christian people may have a party to send off the old year and welcoming the coming year. This may be a party with friend with the family at home and in a public place. New Year’s Day may be a public holiday and on the next day most people go back to the work.For Christians, the Christmas celebration is more similarly to Chinese New Year. It’s the time for the family get together, have special meals, exchange presents and spend some time together.
Cheaters called “pirates” often use camcorders(便携式摄像机) and cell phones to make illegal copies of blockbusters in the local theater. These pirates then sell those recordings on the street or over the Internet for very low prices. Some share them for free.
“It’s unfair for people to pirate movies,” says 15-year-old Hadaia Azad Ezzulddin. Movie piracy “takes money out of the pockets of thousands of people in the movie industry,” she notes. Victims include famous actors and directors as well as local theater owners and their employees.
Hadaia came up with an idea that could help stop movie piracy. Hadaia’s idea uses infrared(红外线的) light. This range of light is invisible to the human eye. It is visible, however, to many types of cameras. Theater owners could place small infrared lights on their movie screens. The lights would not disturb people watching the movie. It would, however, distort (扭曲) the recordings made by many types of cameras.
To test her idea, Hadaia built a box with a movie screen inside. Then, she projected images on that screen through a hole in the box. She took recordings of those images, using nine different types of cameras. These included the types found in cell phones as well as camcorders. During some tests, she also turned on light emitting diodes(发光二极管), or LEDs. The LEDs were embedded(植入的)in a certain place behind the movie screen. They gave out infrared light.
Sure enough, she showed, a pirated movie included odd stripes or spots if it had been recorded while the LEDs were on. It might be possible to use the LEDs to flash the date and time on the movie screen. The information would then appear in the illegal recordings. Theater owners or police might use the information to track down the pirates.
Cutting down on piracy might get more people into theaters to watch the real movie instead of an illegal copy. Six out of every ten films now produced aren’t profitable. They don’t make enough money to recover how much was spent to make and market them. Such a poor payback can discourage filmmakers from producing anything but the types expected to become blockbuster hits. It might also keep smaller theaters from showing a wider variety of movie types.
5.From what Hadaia says in Paragraph 2, we can infer that _______.
A.most people spend less money on pirates moves
B.she criticizes those who video movies in the theater
C.theater owners will increase the price of movie tickets
D.the pirates don’t have to pay for the movie tickets
6. Infrared lights are put on the movie screens to _______.
A.adjust the brightness of the movie screens
B.make sure the images of movies are dark
C.protect the eyesight of viewers in the darkness
D.make illegal copies of movies unpleasant to see
7. What is the correct order of the steps in Hadaia’s test?
a. She projected pictures on the screen.
b. She used cameras to record the pictures.
c. She turned on the LEDs placed behind the screen.
d. She made a special box with a movie screen inside.
A.b a c d B.d b a c C.d c a b D.b c a d
8. According to the last paragraph, we can know that _______.
A.forty percent of the movies now are profitable
B.small theaters often choose to show low-cost movies
C.more and more people go to theaters to fight movie piracy
D.filmmakers prefer to produce ordinary movies than blockbusters

Many people think that the most popular way of communicating with other people is through the mouth. But what they don’t know is that actual communication using the mouth accounts for only around 10% (or even less) of all the means to communicate a message.
Moreover, you can never determine the truthfulness or honesty of people by what they say alone. In fact, words expressed through the mouth often do not reflect what people really think or feel. The more reliable way you can determine their true inner feelings and thoughts is by reading their body language. Everybody communicates using these gestures and if you understand the gestures and their meanings you will be able to read people and know what they are really communicating to you. One researcher even went as far as to say that we speak to hide what’s on our minds. But gestures cannot lie.
Have you ever wondered what it would be like if you can “see through” the emotions of other people? Let’s say you ask a person whether he can do an important task. He says “OK”. But deep inside, you are questioning yourself, “Is he really willing to do this job?” or “Does he have the confidence in finishing this task?” You can’t question him directly because that would be like belittling him. And even if you ask him those questions, his replies will not tell you what he really feels or thinks. So the most useful way is to observe his body language. Expressions like smiling, frowning, pouting, facial reddening, sweating, toe curling and sideways glances are visible hints that can help you make a right judgment.
21. According to the passage, we know _______.
A. words through the mouth are the most common way in communication
B. body language is the quickest way to help people understand each other
C. expressions are the most powerful tool to judge whether a man is confident or not
D. you may know what a person really thinks with the help of reading his body language
22. What does the underlined sentence mean in the second paragraph?
A. We can express ourselves well by body language.
B. We use words to prevent others knowing our true thoughts
C. Spoken words can fully reflect our true self.
D. We use body language to help express ourselves
23. The underlined word in the third paragraph can be replaced with ______
A.looking down upon B.speaking highly of
C.laughing at D.believing in
Unsatisfied ________ with the payment,he took the job just to get some work experience.( )
A.though was he B.though he was
C.he was though D.was he though
Informal conversation is an important part of any business relationship. Before you start a discussion, however, make sure you understand which topics are suitable and which are considered taboos(禁忌) in a particular culture. Latin Americans enjoy sharing information about their local history, art, and customs. They expect questions about their family and are sure to show pictures of their children. You may feel free to ask similar questions of your Latin American friends. The French think of conversation as an art form, and they enjoy the value of lively discussions as well as disagreements. For them, arguments can be interesting — and they can cover pretty much or any topic — as long as they occur in a respectful and intelligent manner.
In the United States, business people like to discuss a wide range of topics, including opinions about work, family, hobbies, and politics. In Japan, China, and Korea, however, people are much more private. They do not share much about their thoughts, feelings, or emotions because they feel that doing so might take away from the harmonious business relationship they’re trying to build. Middle Easterners are also private about their personal lives and family matters. It is considered rude, for example, to ask a businessman from Saudi Arabia about his wife or children.
As general rule, it’s best not to talk about politics or religion with your business friends. This can get you into trouble, even in the United States, where people hold different views. In addition, discussing one’s salary is usually considered unsuitable. Sports is typically a friendly subject in most parts of the world, although be careful not to criticize a national sport. Instead, be friendly and praise your host’s team.
41. The author considers politics and religion ________.
A. cheerful topics B. taboos
C. rude topics D. topics that can never be talked about
42. Which is typically a friendly topic in most places according to the author?
A. Sports. B. Children. C. Personal feelings. D. Families.
43. Why are people from Asia more private in their conversation with others?
A. They don’t want to talk with others much.
B. They don’t want to have their good relationship with others harmed by informal conversation.
C. They are afraid to argue with their colleagues.
D. They want to keep their feelings to themselves.
44. What shouldn’t you do when talking about sports with colleagues from another country?
A. Praising your own country’s sports.
B. Criticizing your own country’s sports.
C. Praising the sports of your colleagues’ country.
D. Criticizing the sports of your colleagues’ country.
My dearest son and daughter,
The story of New Jersey high school student Rachel Canning suing(起诉) her parents for child support and high school education inspired me to write you a little letter. Let me just put this out there: the only way I expect to see you in a court is as a lawyer or a judge.
There are two things about this case that seem to be disaster.
First, it’s natural for parents and children to argue. I can guarantee that we will disagree. One or both of you will, at some point, scream at the top of your lungs the various ways you hate me. And I won’t always like you, either. But I will always love you and do everything I can to keep your best interests as my focus, even when I am so angry. We are family. That means we are as much a part of one another as the flesh, blood and bones in our body. And we all should think about it very deeply instead of breaking that bond.
Second, I’ll be honest, and no matter how far apart we are on your life choices, your father and I will most certainly pay everything we can for your higher education. But that doesn’t mean you deserve it. To be clear, this is a privilege we happily extend (给予) to you – not a right you are born with. And you will have to work hard to earn that privilege. Growing up is hard work.
If I do my job properly as your mother – and you do yours as my children – you would sooner get a job or two, and find a way to make
your dreams come true rather than go to trial over what you think you are entitled to.
Love always,
Mom
25. The mother writes this letter because she wants her children to _______.
A. be prepared for education B. learn a lesson from the case
C. take up the legal profession D. remember Rachel Canning
26. When in disagreement, the mother expects her children not to ________.
A. guarantee anything B. scream out their anger
C. break the family bond D. forget their best interests
27. The mother thinks of parents’ paying for their children’s higher education as _______.
A. a way in which children realize their dreams B. a test of whether parents love their children
C. a privilege that children should earn D. a right that parents are born with
Not until recently _______the development of tourist-related activities in the rural areas.

Dear Editor,
I’m writing to tell you opinion about water saving. Water is important. We, as well as animal, cannot live without water and neither agriculture or industry can go without it. Yet it seemed that water is becoming less and less. Many countries in the world find we don’t have enough water. To deal with a problem, I think, we should first go all out to plant trees though trees will help save water. Next, not drinking water should be left running. Third, we should find ways to reuse the water using in washing, especially bath water for which is quite a lot, and that will save much water.
Sincerely,
Li Hua
