On a hot summer day, there are few things that are more wonderful than a nice cool pool.  68． And it is completely relaxing. Of course, if you have children, there are certain measures you should take to keep them safe, whether you have a pool in your backyard or you are going to a public pool.

People should never swim by themselves. Actually it only takes a second for people to become injured and drown(溺水). 69． This is especially true for young children.

Splashing(玩水) is fun, but don’t take it too far.70． Kids love to go after one another through the water and to splash and jump around. But it is important to teach children not to jump on top of one another and to watch their surroundings in the water, so that they do not accidentally knock into others.

If you have a pool, you must have a locking gate around your pool. 71．Keep the gate knocked at all times, even when you are in the pool.

Know the way out. 72． Make sure that they know where all ladders are and how to enter and get out of the pool properly. Although your children may be able to lift themselves out of the pool using the side, that is not the safest way to go.

A. Kids should be taken good care of when they are swimming in the pool.

B. And having someone there with you can make the difference between life and death.

C. This is to prevent children from entering your pool without your knowledge.

D. Jumping into the water seems like the perfect way to deal with the heat.

E. Even so, attempt to avoid getting any pool water into your mouth.

F. Be sure to show all children the proper way to get out of the pool.

G. Playing around in the pool can be a lot of fun.

Modern computer technology has made online friendship possible. Online friends are people who have known each other through the Internet. Are online friendships as beneficial as face-to-face friendships? Can people form strong relationships online?

When you use social networking websites and chat rooms, you can easily find people with interests and hobbies similar to yours. Making friends on the Internet is especially good for shy people who feel uncomfortable in social situations. It’s often easier to share thoughts and feelings online. What’s more, online friends can make people feel less lonely and help them solve problems.

Although the Internet can encourage friendship, it has a major disadvantage. It’s much easier for some people to deceive others because they are not face to face. Online friends only tell you what they want you to know. They sometimes exaggerate(夸大) their good qualities and hide the less positive ones, so you can’t be sure of what they really like.

There are different answers to the second question. Researchers surveyed 2,000 families in the US. The results showed that over 40% of participants(参与者) feel as strongly about their online friends as they do about their offline friends. Researchers also found that it’s not unusual for online friends to become face-to-face friends. However, there are many people who believe that it’s not possible for people to have deep relationships with online friends.

People continue to express different opinions about online friendship. However, most of them would agree that face-to-face friendship cannot be replaced by online friendship. As one life coach says, “A social networking site should only be the ‘add on’ in any relationship.”

55. What is the second paragraph mainly about?

A. Functions of friendship. B. Signs of good online friends.

C. Ways to make online friends. D. Advantages of online friendship.

56. The underlined word “deceive” in Para. 3 probably means _______.

A. praise B. support C. cheat D. hurt

57. In most people’s opinion, online friendship____.

A. won’t take the place of face-to-face friendship

B. are as important as face-to-face friendships

C. are better than face-to-face friendships.

D. will become face-to-face friendships58. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?

A conflict at work is common. If you can avoid conflict, it means you will win what you want regardless of what the other person wants. Since the potential issue has not been removed, it will simply reappear later. Here are the necessary steps to effectively get rid of conflicts at work.

       ★Be aware of the fact that some conflicts are unavoidable at work. On numerous occasions, conflict and disagreement are likely to happen. But when a conflict happens it's not the end of the world. On the contrary, it can be the beginning of an interesting learning process. Conflicts mean that people care enough to disagree strongly. The trick is not to allow the conflict to go on forever.

       ★ Deal with conflicts sooner rather than later. Solve a conflict when it starts, as it only gets worse with time going by. Conflicts at work arise not from something that was said, but from something that wasn't said! Everyone's waiting for the other to admit he's wrong and gets more unpleasant after the conflict has lasted a while. It's essential to interrupt the "waiting game" before it gets to that point.

       ★ Ask nicely. If somebody has done something that made you angry, or if you don't understand their viewpoint or actions, simply asking nicely about it can make a world of difference.  Never assume that people do what they do to annoy or hurt you. Sometimes there's a good reason why that person does what he or she does, and a potential conflict disappear right there. Do remember to make an inquiry, not an accusation of any sort.

       ★ Appreciate. Praise the other part in the conflict. Tell them why it's worth it to you to solve the conflict. This can be difficult as few people find it easy to praise and appreciate a person they disagree strongly with, but it's a great way to move forward.

①Many companies that enlarge their market to another country have to familiarize themselves with the culture of that country, as the more they know about their new customers, the better they will know about the market. These companies also need to know the educational content, policies and systems of the target country in order to judge its needs.

②By understanding the education of the target country, we take a look at the values of the country. For example, there is a great emphasis (强调) on good education in Japan. Throughout the country, Japanese children are taught that hard work and self-discipline are the highest values. An international company operating in Japan would have to add those values to its marketing strategies.

③Education, to a large degree, can reflect people’s needs. Take Japan for example, because of its emphasis on good education, most of the products it needs are related to education. An international toy company in Japan would not concentrate on selling toys which are for fun, but rather on games, books and activities that can teach children a practical skill.

④The emphasis on a certain type of training in a culture-specific educational system can also show that country’s particular viewpoint towards what is important in business relations. For example, a company operating in a fast and business-oriented (以商业为导向的) country such as the U.S. would emphasize

these two features during its training. This means that mail is replied to quickly

and phone calls are returned on the same business day in the American market.

An international company would have to adjust to how it deals with business based on these features, if it wants to break into the American market.

⑤Education is a key factor (因素) in international business. Understanding the educational content, policies and systems of the target country is the first step to reach a win-win situation.

56.    What does the second paragraph mainly talk about?

A.   Japanese people think highly of good education.

B.  Education can show a country’s values.

C.   How to make marketing strategies in Japan.

D.  Japanese children all get good grades in school.

57.    The underlined word “reflect” in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by                      _.

A. meet                         B. understand                 C. change                       D. show

58.    It can be learned from the passage that                   _.

A.   toys for amusement may be unpopular in Japan

B.  people’s needs determine education and values

C.   it’s unwise to enlarge market in another country

D.  Japanese people are ready to learn knowledge at any time

59.    Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A.   Americans prefer to test a company’s customer service.

B.  All the international companies are business-oriented.

C.   Replying to mail is the most important thing in the American market.

D.  International companies should change the way of doing business based on different situation.

Nearly five years before, and with the help by our father, my sister and I planted some cherry tomatoes in our back garden. Since then—for all these year—we had been allowing tomatoes to self-seed where they please. As result, the plants are growing somewhere. The fruits are small in size, but juicy and taste. There are so much that we often share them with our neighbors. Although we allow tomato plants to grow in the same place year after year, but we have never had any disease or insect attack problems. We are growing wonderfully tomatoes at no cost!

An Indian villager recently traveled more than a thousand miles to the BBC office in Delhi in an unusual quest to claim millions of rupees( 卢比 ) he believed he had won in a BBC lottery.

"The message said I had won the BBC's national lottery for 20 or 30 million rupees($ 319,000 or $ 478,000). I was asked to send my details so that they could send me the money," he said.

Malbisoi, a 41-year-old unemployed Indian villager with little formal education, was unable to understand that this was a cheating message and that he was being "scammed(诈骗 ) " But Malbisoi got in touch with the scammers over the past two years, begging them to send him the promised funds.

"The caller said he was the BBC's chancellor. He promised me a large sum of money but said I would have to first send 12,000 rupees so that he could transfer the money into my account. I told them I was very poor and that I didn't have any money to give them. He said then they couldn't pay me any money, but over a period of time, we kept negotiating(谈判 ) and they finally asked me for 4,000 rupees," he said. Malbisoi said he was unable to pay even that amount.

India is one of the world's fastest growing mobile phone markets with 890 million cell phone users. In India, scammers use more text messages than e-mails to target their victims, because the reach of the mobile phones is much wider than computers.

Malbisoi returned home safely, although empty-handed, after two days in Delhi. But I was not sure I was able to convince him that the "BBC chancellor" he had been speaking to was in reality a scammer.

21. Malbisoi traveled to the BBC office in Delhi to      

    A. report a scam                                B. ask for support     

    C. beg for some help                      D. get some prize money

22. Someone sent the message to Malbisoi with the purpose of      

    A. laughing at his poverty                   B. playing a joke on him

    C. getting his personal details                D. cheating him of some money

23. Why do scammers prefer to use text messages?

    A. Because text messages cost less money.

    B. Because text messages spread much faster.

    C. Because text messages can reach more people.

    D. Because text messages are much more convenient.

24. What do we learn about Malbisoi?

    A. He lived near Delhi.                  B. He was very simple-minded.

    C. He liked buying lottery tickets.         D. He sent 4,000 rupees to the scammer.

Nowadays, many teenagers spend too many time on computers. The number of students who come to school in the morning are already completely exhausting. The cause of this is staying late at night playing computer games and chat with their friends online. Most of them don’t realize just how damaging to their healthy this is, let alone the effect it has on their grades. I recently read an article about the damage that playing computer games are doing to kids. The article claimed for that lots of the games kids play are extremely harmful. It said that at best they are turning teens into dull people which have no social life and at worst into potential killer!

Some of the best things in life don’t happen until you grow old enough to recognize them. I can say that about tea.

I didn’t start to drink tea until I was 35. What happened before that? The first time I felt a genuine urge to drink tea was in 2003, when I stayed briefly in the United Kingdom. After a time of consuming local food, I started to really like strong black tea. Although it was too strong to my tongue, I felt it was a necessity because it was comforting to my body.

I took packs of green teas with me as gifts but was disappointed to find my British friends preferred much stronger black teas from Sri Lanka. Later I learned that although people know China for its teas, it ranks only third among the world’s black tea exporters, after Sri Lanka and Kenya.

After I came back to China and started to cover food stories, I met friends in the tea-drinking circle and learned more. Although the majority of the rest of the world drinks black tea, which the Chinese call“red tea”, China produces and drinks mostly green teas.

I feel lucky to be Chinese because of the great variety of teas available in the country. It is estimated that there are more than 2,000 teas in China if you divide them geographically, including more than 600 locally famous brews. A more simple way to categorize (分类) is by color and extent of fermentation (发酵). That comes down to six main categories—green, white, yellow, dark-greenish (oolong), red and black teas.

Tasting teas can be compared to our lives. They can be plain and predictable but sometimes they are full of pleasant surprises. Occasionally they can even seem too good to be true. The best thing is, you know there’s always more to explore.

4. Which country ranks first among the world’s black tea exporters?

A. Sri Lanka    B. China

C. Kenya    D. United States

5. The writer of this passage works as a ________.

A. manager    B. journalist

C. scientist    D. tea grower     

6. All of the following statements about tea in China are true EXCEPT ________.

A. varieties of tea is planted and produced each year in China

B. all tea in China can be divided into six categories with no exceptions

C. tea in China can be categorized by color and extend of fermentation

D. tea in China can be divided into more than 2000 categories geographically

7. What column does this passage belong to in a newspaper?

A. World    B. Business

C. Travel    D. Lifestyle
