Sometimes, people are required to fill in personal information when they register online, which may lead to some   21   trouble. Recently, the BBC is reporting that a 17-year-old girl in Australia posted a(n)  22   of her grandmother at home counting a large sum of cash that she   23   hidden in the house. Just eight hours later, two armed men   24   the girl’s house. They demanded to speak to her to find out where the grandmother’s house was,   25   they could get the money they had seen.    26   , the girl was not home at the time, so the robbers  27   a small amount of cash from the mother and left.

    Because the   28   is still under  29  , local police aren’t saying much else about it. It’s not known yet whether the girl had used privacy setting on the Facebook profile page, and even whether the robbers  30   the girl in the past.

    Two other   31   were at home then, a 58-year-old man and a 14-year-old boy, the girl’s father and brother. Luckily, no one was   32   . The robbers left peacefully after   33   that the girl was not home and that no one else there knew anything about the   34   that had appeared in the photo.

    Police in both Britain and Australia are using the case to  35   citizens of the dangers of posting personal information on social networks and to suggest users of websites   36   doing so. The police say it is   37    that the girl posted a comment in the past that gave clues to the address,    38   that the robbers knew the girl in another way.   39  , they suggest, a posting by a friend on their site could have   40   such information. To find it, the robbers would only have had to search for those posting on other pages that contained the girl’s name.

Books can broaden our mind, enrich our thinking and inform us of many things cannot be learn from personal experience. Different people has different tastes in books. For example, university professors read not only for knowledge and information but also for inspire.

Young girls, in the contrast, may get a lot of funny from Pride and Prejudice or Gone with the wind. Scientists may take great delight in read Einstein’s Theory of Relativity.

On May 3, 2002, archaeologists in England found a grave of a man dating back to around 2300 BC. Buried with him were the tools of a hunter or warrior. There was a bone pin that may have been from a piece of clothing such as a leather coat. He carried a copper knife on his breast. The most amazing find was two gold earrings. That would have made him a man of distinction. Only a few centimeters from his head were two pots made of clay, tools and materials to make arrows, a bow and a dozen arrows for hunting and a second, smaller copper knife. Next to them lay a cushion stone, upon which the man could work metal.

His grave is the richest of any found from that period, because this man was buried with two gold earrings which are the oldest gold ever found in Britain (dated to 2470 BC). Besides, he was buried three miles from Stonehenge. Archaeologists tend to believe he was a member of a powerful class who might have organized the construction of Stonehenge and therefore he was called the “king of Stonehenge”.

Stonehenge was begun around 3000 BC. In about 2300 BC the huge stone circles were built. The biggest stone weighed approximately 20 tons. But the smaller blue stones, still weighing 4 tons on average, came from west Wales. It is not yet known how these were conveyed over a distance of 380 km. It is also a mystery how early man was able to construct Stonehenge without the use of modern construction machines and lorries.

 He is an example of people who brought culture and new techniques from the European mainland to Britain. In terms of technical development people were going from the Stone Age to the Bronze Age and then to the Iron Age.

 26. Which are not included in the things that are found in the grave of a man'?

    B. He had the oldest gold ever found in Britain.

The modem open office was originally designed for team building but now it is mostly distinguished by its high noise levels and lack of privacy.

The noise of the open office is one of employees’ chief complaints, and research shows that the constant noise can actually destroy our motivation. In a study published in the Journal of Applied Psychology, 40 female workers suffered from open - plan office noise for three hours. Another group experienced three hours of blessed quiet. Afterwards, both groups were given puzzles which had no solution. The participants who’d been treated to a quiet work setting kept working hard at the puzzles， while the participants who’d stood the noisy conditions gave up after fewer attempts.

Look around any open - plan office today and you will see that many workers deal with this problem by wearing earplugs or headphones. Although it might seem that importing one’s own noise wouldn’t be much of a solution, experts say that this approach could be effective in at least one aspect.

Another frequent complaint is the lack of privacy in an open office. Designers and managers believed that workers would be more likely to have casual conversations that can inspire new ideas. However, research shows conversations among employees in open offices tend to be short and skin - deep.

The original promoters also hoped that the setting would make co - workers available to help one other. That’s great for the help seeker; not so great for the help giver who has her own work to do.

29. What was the original purpose of open - plan offices?

A. To spare more room.                                                      B. To promote cooperation.

C. To reduce work stress.                                            D. To save office expenses.

30. What’s experts’ opinion about wearing earplugs?

A. It will make more noise.                                            B. It destroy workers’ motivation.

C. It is helpful in a way.                                                       D. It will fix the problem completely.

31. What can we learn about open offices?

A. Conversations seldom lead to creativity.

B. They create more sincere communicating opportunities.

C. Help seekers are disturbed too much.

D. Help givers enjoy more respect.

An elderly couple lived far away from their children. They noticed that they were beginning to forget many little things around the house. They were afraid that this could be perilous, as one of them might forget to turn off the stove（火炉）and thus cause a fire. They were so worried that they decided to see their doctor to get some help. Their doctor told them that it was unnecessary to take medicine and that many people of their age found it useful to write themselves little notes as reminders. The elderly couple thought this wonderful, and left the doctor’s office very pleased with the advice.

When they got home, the wife said, “Dear, will you please go to the kitchen and get me a dish of ice cream? And why don’t you write that down so you won’t forget?”

“Don’t be silly,” said the husband. “I can remember a dish of ice cream!”

“Well,” said the wife, “I’d also like some strawberries on it. You should write that down, because I know you’ll forget.”

“Come on, my memory’s not that bad,” replied the husband. “A dish of ice cream and some strawberries. I can remember that!”

And with that, the husband shut the kitchen door behind him. The wife could hear him getting out pots and pans, and making some noise, preparing the dish. He came out of the kitchen about 15 minutes later.

Walking over to his wife, he presented her with a plate of fried eggs. The wife took a look at the plate, glanced up at her husband and said, “Hey, where’s the toast？”

1.      The underlined word “perilous” in the first paragraph can be replaced by “_________”.

2.      The couple was worried about___________.
A. their bad health                            B. their lonely life
C. their dangerous stove                  D. their poor memory

3.      What was the doctor’s advice to the couple?
A. Writing things down.                     B. Taking some medicine.
C. Reminding each other.                 D. Asking other elderly people for help.

4.      What do we know from the wife’s words in the last paragraph?
A. The husband did a good job in fact.
B. The husband forgot to prepare the toast.
C. The wife forgot what she wanted to eat.
D. The wife had a better memory than the husband.

How to pick a good book

  It is not news that we spend more time texting（发短信）and surfing online than ever. But a recent study shows that more teenagers are reading good old-fashioned and ink-on-paper books. Reading is a good way to widen your knowledge and learn about yourself. You probably know how to find the best application programs for your phone.   36  

1. Start with your interests.

  Reading on your own isn’t like reading for school.  37  This could be ancient martial arts, readings in computers, or fashion design books. If you can name the subject, you can find books about it.

 2. Find your “type”

     38   Books of fiction, like novels or short-story collections, can transport you to another world or help you to imagine something beyond your own experience. Not all fiction is the same. Try some different types of fiction and see which one you prefer. Non-fiction books give you the “who”, “what”, “when” and “why” of something. They tell stories suing facts, but that doesn’t mean they are dull.

3. Read the “blurb(简介)”

  The reviews and quotes on the back and inside covers of many books are known as  “blurbs”. These comments not only give you an idea of what the book is about, but also help you to pick out future books. If you find a book you really like, take a minute to read the blurb and see which authors praised the book.   39 

4.   40 

  Your local library can provide you with a lot of great books. Explain your interests and mention any writers you like, and the librarian can point you towards books that you will like.

  Finally, you’ll probably enjoy what you’re reading if you find a quiet place and make time for the book.

A. Ask an expert

B. Read in a quiet place

C. Do you prefer fiction or non-fiction?

D. You can pick something that suits your interests.

E. But do you know how to pick a book that you will really like?

F. It is necessary to work out what the book is mainly about before reading.

G. Often, they will have similar styles, and you might find you like books by those authors, too.

Personality is to a large extent inherent-A-type parents usually bring about A-type offspring. But the environment must also have a profound effect, since if competition is important to the parents, it is likely to become a major factor in the lives of their children.
　　One place where children soak up A characteristics is school, which is, by its very nature, a highly competitive institution. Too many schools adopt the win at all costs moral standard and measure their success by sporting achievements. The current passion for making children compete against their classmates or against the clock produces a two-layer system, in which competitive A-types seem in some way better than their B-type fellows. Being too keen to win can have dangerous consequences: remember that Pheidippides, the first marathon runner, dropped dead seconds after saying: Rejoice, we conquer！
　　By far the worst form of competition in schools is the disproportionate emphasis on examinations. It is a rare school that allows pupils to concentrate on those things they do well. The merits of competition by examination are somewhat questionable, but competition in the certain knowledge of failure is positively harmful.
　　Obviously, it is neither practical nor desirable that all A youngsters change into B's. The world needs types, and schools have an important duty to try to fit a child's personality to his possible future employment. It is top management.
　　If the preoccupation of schools with academic work was lessened, more time might be spent teaching children surer values. Perhaps selection for the caring professions, especially medicine, could be made less by good grades in chemistry and more by such considerations as sensitivity and sympathy. It is surely a mistake to choose our doctors exclusively from A- type stock. B's are important and should be encouraged.
73. According to the passage, A-type individuals are usually ________.
    （A）impatient　　（B）considerate　　（C）aggressive　　（D）agreeable
74. The author is strongly opposed to the practice of examinations at schools because________.
　　（A）the pressure is too great on the students
　　（B）some students are bound to fail
　　（C）failure rates are too high
　　（D）the results of examinations are doubtful
75. The selection of medical professionals is currently based on ________.
　　（A）candidates' sensitivity　　        （B）academic achievements
　　（C）competitive spirit 　　           （D）surer values
76. From the passage we can draw the conclusion that ________.
　　（A）the personality of a child is well established at birth
　　（B）family influence dominates the shaping of one's characteristics
　　（C）the development of one's personality is due to multiple factors
　　（D）B-type characteristics can find no place in a competitive society

He divided the sweets ____the children who were divided____ four groups.

Goldie's Secret

    She turned up at the doorstep of my house in Cornwall. No way could I have sent her away. No way, not me anyway. Maybe someone had kicked her out of their car the night before. “We're moving house’’; "No space for her any more with the baby coming." "We never really wanted her, but what could we have done? She was a present." People find all sorts of excuses for abandoning an animal. And she was one of the most beautiful dogs I had ever seen.

    I called her Goldie. If I had known what was going to happen I would have given her a more creative name. She was so unsettled during those first few days. She hardly ate anything and had such an air of sadness about her. There was nothing I could do to make her happy, it seemed. Heaven knows what had happened to her at her previous owner's. But eventually at the end of the first week she calmed down. Always by my side, whether we were out on one of our long walks or sitting by the fire.

    That's why it was such a shock when she pulled away from me one day when we were out for a walk. We were a long way from home, when she started barking and getting very restless. Eventually I couldn't hold her any longer and she raced off down the road towards a farmhouse in the distance as fast as she could.

By the time I reached the farm I was very tired and upset with Goldie. But when I saw her licking (舔) the four puppies (幼犬) I started to feel sympathy towards them. "We didn't know what had happened to her," said the woman at the door. "I took her for a walk one day, soon after the puppies were born, and she just disappeared." "She must have tried to come back to them and got lost," added a boy from behind her.

I must admit I do miss Goldie, but I've got Nugget now, and she looks just like her mother. And I've learnt a good lesson: not to judge people.

 Grandparents Answer a Call

As a third generation native of Brownsville, Texas, Mildred Garza never pleased to move away,. Even when her daughter and son asked her to move to San Antonio to help their children, she politely refused . Only after a year of friendly discussion did Ms Gaf finally say yes. That was four years ago. Today all three generations regard the move to a success, giving them a closer relationship than they would have had in separate cities.
   No statistics show the number of grandparents like Garza who are moving closer to the children and grandchildren. Yet there is evidence suggesting that the trend is growing.

       Hippos（河马）have always attracted people's interest. Modern hippos in Walt Disney movies can dance lightly. A stone hippo in a 13th-century church in France has wings. And in ancient Egyptian fairy tales, the hippo was a goddess that guided the dead to the afterworld.

       Despite their popular appeal, hippos, as well as other animals, have difficulty when their needs conflict with those of humans. The early Egyptians liked to hunt hippos for their teeth and because they were dangerous animals. Amulets（护身符）to protect babies from demons（恶魔）were made from hippo bones.

       About 4,000 years ago, there were so many hippos in Egypt that they caused serious crop damage. Egyptian farmers killed them routinely, and by the beginning of the 19th century, all the hippos in Africa had been killed.

       People used to see hippos fight in the arenas（角斗场）of ancient Rome. After the fall of the Roman Empire, hippos weren't seen in Europe again until a few zoos began to exhibit them in the mid 1800s.

       All the various uses and abuses of hippos through the centuries have made their population fall greatly. Where they do occur, mostly in national parks, they live in such high density that they make the grasslands bare. This causes other grass-eating animals to go farther for food, and hippos, which can't live far from water, destroy their own feeding grounds.

       A. around the 1850s                        B. in the 13th century

       C. To look for guidance after death.

       D. To follow the routine established by the Egyptians.

A. concentration       B. altitude           C. level          D. temperature

One day King Arthur saw a happy beggar (乞丐) and wondered why the beggar was so happy, because that the king didn’t feel happy though she could have whatever he wants. From this we can see that one’s happiness doesn’t depend whether he is rich nor poor. Happy is just a state of mind. As long as one thinks he’s satisfied, he is happy.

There are many different opinion about happiness. To some, happiness is being surround by their family members and friends. To others, happiness means achieving success in something, such as meet a goal. To those who have been injured, happiness can simple mean a day without suffering, or just being alive.
