12.Rosalia Mera,the world’s richest self-made woman has died at the age of 69in August,2013.She started as a poor Spanish seamstress(a woman clothes maker),and later founded the well-known fashion retailer(零售商)Zara.Mera was the richest woman in Spain with a worth of S 6,100,000,000.Mera was seriously ill while on holiday and died in a hospital in the town where she was born,La Coruna in northern Spain.
Having left school at 11years old,Mera worked as a seamstress as a teenager before setting up a company,which would grow into one of the biggest clothes retailers in the world.Today the brand (品牌) name sits above 1,763Zara stores around the world.
The Zara model grew up from the idea that first sent Mera into business:producing speedy and cheap imitations(仿制品).Mera was one of the first players in the field of so-called“fast fashion”.Though she was extremely rich,Mera stayed close to home and was often seen talking with friends and neighbors in Galicia's bars.

17."Tom?Are you in bed yet?"called Mrs.White.There was no answer.Mrs.White put down her book and went to her 14-year-old son's room.Tom was sitting in front of a bright computer screen on which a motorbike was running fast.
"Oh,Tom.You're still playing on that computer game.You must stop now,because it's half past eleven.If you don't go to bed soon,you'll be very tired tomorrow."Said Mrs.White.
"But I've nearly won the game."Tom said to Mrs.White.She could see the excitement on his face.She sat beside him.
"You're always playing on the computer.You spend more time on this machine than on your homework."
Today more and more families have computers.Parents hope computers can help their children improve their study at school.But many of their children use computers to play games,listen to songs and watch videos instead of studying.We often see that computer net bars are crowded with people,especially young boys.They spend a lot of money competing(竞争) with the computerized(用计算机控制的) machines.The more they lose,the more they want to win.The result is that they don't'want to work or study.
In some countries,even scientists hate computers.They say computers cause millions of people to lose their jobs or cause them a lot of trouble.Computer game addiction(瘾) is a serious problem in social life.Something should have to be done to solve the problem.

7.How green are you?Do you know how to be green?
   We all need a healthy environment,but we produce waste every day and h is harmful to our environment.Though we are young,we can still do something to help.Here are some ideas for you.
   Reduce
   Reduce means"use less".Don't waste things.This saves money and reduces pollution.Before we buy something new,think whether it is really necessary-or maybe the old one is still useful.
   Reuse
   Reuse means"use again".When we buy things,make sure that they can last a long time.When something is broken,we should repair it instead of throwing it away and buying a new one.Don't use a paper cup or a paper bag.It's better to use a china (瓷) cup and a lunch box because you can use them again.
   Recycle
   Recycle means"change things into something else".Though it takes energy to change something into something else,it's better than throwing things away or burning them.
   So please remember these words:reduce,reuse and recycle.

4.You know what it's like.You~ve just arrived in Washington D.C.after a long journey and all you really want to do is lie down and relax in your hotel room.But first you have to make a few quick notes for tomorrow's meeting,check your e-mails,and perhaps print out a few-things.And you need to make a few local telephone calls,and one call to your family.
And what do you usually get?Your desk is just about big enough for a cup of coffee,and there's no desk lamp~the stationary(办公用品) is only several pieces of paper and the only pen there doesn't work at all.If you want to print something,you have to go to the Reeeption(前台),and when you try to use your cell phone,you find that it won't work in the U.S.A.
Well,Harmony Hotel is different.Just tell us ahead of time what you're going to need,and we'll make sure that it's waiting for you when you arrive.There will be a printer in your room if you want one,and a cell phone that really works.All you have to pay for is the calls you make.
We can also provide a room for business meetings,even a secretary to take notes.All we ask is a few days'notice.
All of our rooms are of the same high standard and we promise not to increase prices in the next twelve months.But book now,because many people are already calling to book rooms,and we'd hate to disappoint you.

1.Are you shy?If you are,you are not alone.In fact,close to 50percent of people are shy.Almost 80percent of people feel shy at some point in their lives.These days,shyness is becoming more and more common.Now,scientists are trying to understand shyness.They have some interesting ideas about why people are shy.
Is it possible to be born shy?Many scientists say yes.They say 15to 20percent of babies behave shyly.These babies are a little quieter and more watchful than other babies.Interestingly,these shy babies usually have shy parents.As a result,scientists think that some shyness is genetic.
Family size might cause people to be shy as well.Scientists at Harvard University studied shy children.They found that 66percent of them had older brothers and sisters.As a result,they became shy.At the same time,children with no brothers and sisters may be shy as well.Growing up alone,they often play by themselves.They are not able to learn the same social skills as children from big families.
You may also be shy because of where you were born.When scientists studied shyness in different countries.They found surprising differences.In Japan,most people said they were shy.But in Israel,only one of three people said so.What explains the difference?One scientist says the Japanese and Israelis have different opinions of failure.In Japan,when people do not succeed,they feel bad about themselves.They blame(责备)themselves for their failure.In Israel,the opposite is true.Israelis often blame failure on outside reasons,such as family,teachers,friends,or bad luck.In Israel,freedom of opinion and risk taking are strongly supported.This may be why Israelis worry less about failure and are less shy.
For shy people,it can be difficult to make friends,speak in class,and even get a good job.But scientists say you can get over your shyness.They suggest trying new things and practicing conversation.And don't forget---if you are shy,you are not the only one.
50.What is the passage mainly about?B
A.Happiness.B.Shyness.C.Kindness.D.loneliness.
51.What does the underlined word"genetic"in paragraph 2probably mean?A
A.Passed down from parents.B.Learned from friends.
C.Taught by teachers.D.Made up by brothers.
52.What can be learned from the passage?C
A.Most little babies are born shy and quiet.
B.If you are shy now,you will be shy forever.
C.Many shy children have older brothers and sisters.
D.Most Israeli people are shy of expressing opinions.
53.We can learn from the passage thatB may cause shyness.
A.genetics,grown--ups and birthplaceB.genetics,family size and birthplace
C.family size,grown--ups and failureD.genetics,family size and freedom
