18．My friend，Emma Daniels，spent the summer of 1974traveling in Israel．During her month-long stay in Jerusalem she often went to a café called Chocolate Soup．It was run by two men，one of whom-Alex-used to live in Montreal．One morning when Emma went in for coffee，while chatting with her new friend Alex，she mentioned that she had just finished the book she was reading and had nothing else to read．Alex said he had a wonderful book she might like，and that he'd be happy to lend it to her．As he lived just above the café，he quickly ran up to get it．The book he handed to Emma just minutes later was Markings，a book by a former Secretary-General of the United Nations （UN）．
Emma had never read it，nor had she ever bought a copy．But，when she opened it up，she was floored to see her own name and address inside the cover in her own handwriting．It turned out that the summer before，at a concert back in Montreal，Emma had met a Californian who was in town visiting friends．They decided to exchange addresses，but neither of them had any paper．The man opened up a book he was carrying in his backpack（背包） and asked Emma to write her name and address inside．When he returned to California，he left the book behind in Montreal，and his friend Alex kept it．When Alex later moved to Jerusalem，he took the book along．

8．Televisions were among the most talked about items at the 2013 International Consumer Electronics Show last week in Las Vegas，Nevada．Some employed the most advanced technology ever．
Some of the TVs used a new technology called Organic Light Emitting Diodes，or OLED．They were thinner，lighter，offered better color and were brighter than traditional LEDs．Smart TVs this year were smarter．Many offered technology that let users have a more personalized experience．One such TV from the electronics company TCL uses sensors and voice recognition to determine who is watching．It then offers programming based on the specific user．Another TV from Panasonic offers a similar personalized user experience．
In addition to television technology，size also played a major part in CES 2013．Televisions varied in size from big to bigger，with at least two companies-Samsung and HiSense-exhibiting TVs measuring 110 inches．
The yearly Consumer Electronics Show is the biggest technology trade show in North America and one of the biggest in the world．
Gary Shapiro is president and CEO of the Consumer Electronics Association，the group that organizes CES．He gave one of the keynote speeches on opening day．
"Now you know that CES is more than a trade show．It's a gathering of the brightest minds and the top leaders from many industries and those seeking a glimpse into the future．"
That glimpse into the future included a look at digital health and fitness devices，which were also big at CES 2013．There were devices that track your activity and others that measure blood pressure，heart rate and weight．There was even a fork that tells you when you are eating too fast．
Cars，smart-phones，tablet computers and PCs also made news．And a 27-inch table computer drew quite a bit of attention．
CEA President Gary Shapiro says there was much to see but not nearly enough time to see it all．"You cannot see the show in the four days that you have．We have over 3200 different industries showing over 20，000 new products．It's absolutely incredible．"

9．A winter wonderland on the outskirts of Quebec City has become one of Canada's hottest attractions and most sought out accommodations．Guests stay close for warmth in sleeping bags on beds of ice，hats pulled over their ears to prevent frostbite，while sipping cocktails （鸡尾酒） in glasses also made of ice．
A cool place to host a memorable wedding or for a romantic getaway，the Quebec Ice Hotel has attracted 600，000 curious tourists，including 30，000 who stayed overnight，since opening seasonally 11 years ago．Like Victoria and Jeremy Martin，dozens of couples will exchange vows （誓约） this winter in a temporary church next to the hotel，sculpted entirely from blocks of ice with seats covered in furs．
Average temperatures fall below minus 20 degrees C （minus four F） in winter，but inside the hotel's 36 rooms it is relatively cozy．Thick walls of packed snow and ice act as an insulator，trapping body heat inside．Each room is uniquely decorated，using designs created by Quebec architecture students．Two hotel bars also sell special cocktails in ice glasses．
First-time guests of the hotel，however，are recommended to stay only one night as sleeping in sub-zero temperatures is not very refreshing．This year for the first time the ice hotel has teamed up with a bricks and concrete Quebec City hotel to offer packages for one-night accommodations at each．Prices for one night only at the ice hotel start at 200 US dollars per person．
The 3，000-square-metre （32，300-square-feet） buildings take six weeks starting in December to build，using 15，000 tonnes of snow and 500 tonnes of ice，at a cost of some 750，000 US dollars．Eleven weeks after its seasonal grand opening，the hotel will close on March 27 and then melt away with the arrival of spring．
56．What is true with the ice hotel？D
A.630，000 people have visited it
B.30，000 people visit it each year．
C．It has stayed open for many years
D．Wedding ceremonies are often held there．

C．The rooms all look alike．D．Each room costs $200 per night．

C．most of its rooms are vacant        
D．it is crowded with guests．

3．I remember a day when I was a little kid．I was making a sandwich in the kitchen when I noticed the date on one of the wine bottles．
"Dad，dad!"I cried．"This wine is too old to drink．"
"Son，hold on，"he said．
"No，you can't drink this tonight!This bottle of wine was made 10years ago．"
"Wait，let me tell you…"
"Would you like me to throw it away fro you？"I asked．
"Son，wait a second，"he said．"Son，some wines get better over time．The longer you wait to drink it，the better it will be．Although this may seem strange，it is true．"
When I was young，I didn't have any understanding of what this meant，but now，this would have been very helpful to remember as I went through my teenage years．
In our society，we forget this simple rule：The longer you want for certain things，the better they will be．But we want the best job as quickly as possible； we want to graduate from college in as few years as possible； we even speed through our homework just to chat with friends．When we do this，we lose something of great importance．
We all want to get to the next step so quickly that perhaps we don't get ready enough to get there．This has a negative effect on our society．When trying to go to the right college，we will do anything to get in and when we rush through our class-work，we may not study enough for the test，and end up failing．We need to be ready for whatever comes，ready for the unexpected．Wine gets better over time，so do the things in our paths of life．

56．Why did the author tell his father not to drink the bottle of wine？B
A．Because it smelt terrible．
B．Because it had been kept for years．
C．Because it was mixed with something else．
D．Because his father drank too much that night．
57．What the author's father saidA．
A．made the author puzzled when he was a little child．
B．was too simple a rule to be meaningful to the author．
C．threw the author into deep thought then．
D．was an excuse to drink the wine．
58．In the author's opinion，if we do things too quickly，we willD．
A．do it better
B．save much time
C．graduate from college more quickly

D．Nothing is impossible to a willing heart．
10．What Is a Boy？
    Between the innocence of babyhood and the seriousness of manhood we find a delightful creature called a"boy"．Boys come in different sizes，weights，and colors，but all boys have the same belief：to enjoy every second of every minute of every hour of every day and to fill the air with noise until the adult males pack them off to bed at night．
Boys are found everywhere-on top of，under，inside of，climbing on，swinging from，running around，or jumping to． Mothers spoil them，little girls hate them，older sisters and brothers love them，and God protects them． A boy is TRUTH with dirt on its face，BEAUTY with a cut on its finger，WISDOM with chocolate in its hair，and the HOPE of the future with a snake in its pocket．
When you are busy，a boy is a trouble-maker and a noise． When you want him to make a good impression，his brain turns to jelly or else he becomes a wild creature bent on destroying the world and himself with it．
A boy is a mixture-he has the stomach of a horse，the digestion of stones and sand，the energy of an atomic bomb，the curiosity of a cat，the imagination of a superman，the shyness of a sweet girl，the brave nature of a bull，the violence of a firecracker，but when you ask him to make something，he has five thumbs on each hand．
He likes ice cream，knives，saws，Christmas，comic books，woods，water （in its natural habitat），large animals，Dad，trains，Saturday mornings，and fire engines． He is not much for Sunday schools，company，schools，books without pictures，music lessons，neckties，barbers，girls，overcoats，adults，or bedtime．
Nobody else is so early to rise，or so late to supper． Nobody else gets so much fun out of trees，dogs，and breezes． Nobody else can put into one pocket a rusty knife，a half eaten apple，a three-feet rope，six cents and some unknown things．
A boy is a magical creature-he is your headache but when you come home at night with only destroyed pieces of your hopes and dreams，he can mend them like new with two magic words，"Hi，Dad!"

7．Some people believe that a Robin Hood is at work，others that a wealthy person simply wants to distribute his or her fortune before dying．But the donator who started sending envelopes with cash to deserving causes，accompanied by an article from the local paper，has made a northern German city believe in fairytales （童话）
The first envelope was sent to a victim support group．It contained?10，000 with a cutting from the Braunschtveiger Zeitung about how the group supported a woman who was ro bbed of her handbag； similar plain white anonymous （匿名）envelopes，each containing?10，000，then arrived at a kindergarten and a church．
The envelopes keep coming，and so far at least?190，000 has been distributed．Last month，one of them was sent to the newspaper's own office．It came after a story it published about Tom，a 14-year-old boy who was severely disabled in a swimming accident．The receptionist at the Braunschweiger Zeitung opened an anonymous white envelope to find 20 notes of?500 inside，with a copy of the article．The name of the family was underlined．
"I was driving when I heard the news，"Claudia Neumann，the boy's mother，told DerSpiegel magazine．"I had to park on the side of the road； I was speechless．"
The money will be used to make the entrance to their house wheelchair-accessible．and for a course of treatment that their insurance company refused to pay for．
"For someone to act so selflessly，for this to happen in such a society in which everyone thinks of himself，was astonishing，"Mrs．Neumann said．Her family wonder whether the donator is a Robin Hood character，taking from banks to give to the needy．
Henning Noske，the editor of the Braunschweiger Zeitung，said："Maybe it is an old person who is about to die．We just do not know．"However，he has told his reporters not to look for the city's hero，for fear that discovery may stop the donations．
