Mr Brown was going away for a week. Before he left, he said to his son, "if anyone asks for me, you can tell him that your father has been out for doing something, and will be back in a week, then be sure to ask him to sit down for a cup of tea."
"OK, Dad," said his son. But he was afraid his son couldn't remember this, he wrote these words down on a piece of paper and gave it to him. His son put it into his small pocket, took it out and looked at it now and then.
Four days passed, but no one came to see his father. The boy thought that there was no man to come and that the piece of paper was of no more use for him, so he burnt it that evening.
The next afternoon, someone knocked at the door. The boy opened it. A man was standing at the door and said, "Where is your father?" The boy put his hand into his pocket at once and looked for the piece of paper. He could not find it. He suddenly remembered he had burnt it, so he shouted, "No more."
The man was very surprised. He asked, "No more? I met your father last week. When did it happen?"
"Burnt yesterday evening."

Employment practices often reflect the needs of employers several decades ago．Times have changed．And so too has the Canadian workforce．Yet many employment practices have not kept pace with this change．For example, some work environments and washrooms designed for able-bodied workers seldom accommodate people who use a wheelchair．
Modernizing these practices is what employment equality is about．For example, making sure work benches and washrooms are adapted for disabled people entering the workplace paves the way for workers who become disabled on the job．By doing so, any given group of people? formerly discriminated against-now has access to better employment opportunities．
The objective, of course, is to make the workplace reflect Canadian society．However, this does not necessarily mean setting and enforcing quotas(实行配额）. Rather, it means identifying the barriers to employment and designing measures, with achievable goals and clear timetables, to remove them．
For example, according to the Canadian Union of Public Employees-Canada’s largest union, it would be unrealistic in the short term to insist that because half of the working age population is women, that half of the employees of an engineering firm should be women．At this moment, there would not be enough qualified female engineers．
A reasonable numerical goal would be based on the number of women who actually are engineers （8% ） and those who are studying to become engineers （25% ）．A short term goal of 13% would be appropriate without running the risk of hiring unqualified people．
Equally important is to ensure people who have been disadvantaged the chance to become qualified for new opportunities．If aboriginal people （土著居民） , for example, can’t qualify for certain jobs because they haven’t had access to appropriate educational opportunities, then an employment equality program would have to address that problem with training programs.
Employment laws in this country cannot be considered displeasing if they guarantee all Canadians fair and equal access to the workforce.
小题1:The passage is mainly about how to ____.
A．modernize equipment for the disabled at work
B．achieve equality of employment opportunities
C．protect women’s rights in employment
D．complete a job training program
小题2:The underlined word "them" in Paragraph 3 refers to ____.
A．barriersB．measuresC．goalsD．timetables
小题3:The example of women shows that ____.
A．only a small percentage of women engineers will get promoted
B．13% of the working age women should be hired as engineers
C．policy makers should adopt a practical and flexible approach
D．the quota of women for employment should be raised
小题4:The underlined word "address" in Paragraph 6 probably means _
A．put forwardB．run intoC．find outD．deal with

Yesterday I totally changed my views about life after a talk with one of my friends. He told me despite being  36  , he was happy and   37   that it was because of something he saw in India．
A few years ago he was  38  feeling sad and was touring India．He said right in front of his very eyes, he saw an Indian mother 39 her child’s right hand with a knife．The helpless  40  in the mother’s eyes and the painful scream of the 41 four-year-old child still remained in his mind．
The 42 mother made the child handicapped （disabled）  43  he could go out on the streets to beg．  44  by the scene, he dropped a small piece of bread he was eating．And almost at once, several children  45  around this small piece of bread covered with sand,   46 bits from one another．It was the 47  reaction of hunger．He then went to the nearest bakery and bought every single loaf of bread．  48   he gave out the bread to the children （mostly handicapped）, he  49   cheers and bows from these  50   children．For the first time in his life, he understood  51  people could give up their  52  for a loaf of bread．He came to   53   how fortunate he was to be able to have a sound body, have a job, have a family, have the chance to  54   about food that didn’t taste good, and have the many things that these people in front of him   55   dreamed of having．Perhaps life wasn’t bad at all．

Holding a cell phone against your ear or stalling it in your pocket may be hazardous to your health．
This paraphrases a warning that cell phone; manufacturers include in the small print that is often tossed aside when a new phone is purchased．Apple, for example, doesn’t want iP hones to come closer to you than 1．5 centimeters; Research In Motion, Blackberry’s manufacturer, recommends 2.5 centimeters．
If health issues arise from cell phone use, the implications are huge．Voice calls - Americans chat on cell phones 2．26 trillion minutes annually - generate $109 billion for the wireless carriers．
Devra Davis, an epidemiologist who has worked for the University of Pittsburgh, has published a book about cell phone radiation, "Disconnect." The book surveys scientific research and concludes the question is not settled.
　　Brain cancer is a concern that Ms. Davis examines. Over all, there has not been an increase in its incidence since cell phones arrived. But the average masks an increase in brain cancer in the 20-to-29 age group and a drop for the older population.
　　"Most cancers have multiple causes," she says, but she points to laboratory research that suggests low-energy radiation could damage cells that could possibly lead to cancer.
　　Children are more vulnerable to radiation than adults, Ms. Davis and other scientists point out. Radiation that penetrates only five centimeters into the brain of an adult will reach much deeper into the brains of children because their skulls are thinner and their brains contain more absorptive fluid. No studies have yet been completed on cell phone radiation and children, she says.
　　Henry Lai, a research professor in the bioengineering department at the University of Washington, began laboratory radiation studies in 1980 and found that rats exposed to radiofrequency radiation had damaged DNA in their brains.
　　Ms. Davis recommends using wired headsets or the phone’s speaker. Children should text rather than call, she said, and pregnant women should keep phones away from the abdomen.
小题1:We can infer from the passage that________．
A．Cell phone may do harm to our health if we hold it against our ear or store in our pocket
B．Devra Davis thinks that there are many factors contributing to cancer．
C．The increase in brain cancer in the young adults may have something to do with cell phone
D．Children are more likely to be affected by radiation
小题2:According to the passage, how could children avoid being hurt by cell phone radiation?
A．They can keep cell phones away from the abdomen．
B．They can send short massage instead of making phone calls directly．
C．They can pay more attention to the small print on the phone．
D．They should use more advanced cell phones．
小题3:From this passage we can learn that．________．
A．American cell phone manufacturers did not give any warning to their customers
B．American cell phone manufacturers benefit greatly from their products
C．Scientists have found the connection between brain cancer and ceil phone
D．Cell phone should be banned because of the increase in brain cancer
小题4:In which column can we most probably read this passage?
A．Advanced technology．B．Entertainment．
C．Science and life．D．Celebrity．

A newly-published study has shown that loneliness can spread from one person to another, like a disease.
Researchers used information from the Framingham Study, which began in 1948. The Framingham Study gathers information about physical and mental health, personal behavior and diet. At first, the study involved about 5,000 people in the American state of Massachusetts. Now, more than 12,000 individuals are taking part.
Information from the Framingham Study showed earlier that happiness can spread from person to person. So can behaviors like littering and the ability to stop smoking.
University of Chicago psychologist John Cacioppo led the recent study. He and other researchers attempted to show how often people felt lonely. They found that the feeling of loneliness spread through social groups.
Having a social connection with a lonely person increased the chances that another individual would feel lonely. In fact, a friend of a lonely person was 52% more likely to develop feelings of loneliness. A friend of that person was 25% more likely. The researchers say this shows that a person could indirectly be affected by someone’s loneliness.
The effect was strongest among friends. Neighbors were the second most affected group. The effect was weaker on husbands and wives, and brothers and sisters. The researchers also found that loneliness spread more easily among women than men.
The New York Times newspaper reports that, on average, people experience feelings of loneliness about 48 days a year. It also found that every additional friend can decrease loneliness by about five percent, or two and a half fewer lonely days.
Loneliness has been linked to health problems like depression and sleeping difficulties. The researchers believe that knowing the causes of loneliness could help in reducing it.
The study suggests that people can take steps to stop the spread of loneliness. They can do this by helping individuals they know who may be experiencing loneliness. The result can be helpful to the whole social group.
小题1: What is true about the Framingham Study?
A．It was only conducted in 1948.B．It involves more than 12,000 participants.
C．It was led by John CacioppoD．It showed that any behavior could spread.
小题2: From the passage, we can learn that            .
A．the habit of littering doesn’t spread
B．a lonely person won’t have friends
C．everyone may be affected by others’ loneliness
D．lonely people don’t know the cause of their loneliness
小题3: Which statement about the spread of loneliness is true?
A．The spreading effect was the second strongest among friends.
B．No spreading effect was found on husbands and wives.
C．Women are more likely to be affected than men.
D．Brothers are more easily affected than neighbors.
小题4: If you make 10 more friends in a year, the days of your feeling loneliness will be reduced by            .
A．48 daysB．25 daysC．20 daysD．15 days
小题5:What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Actions should be taken to help lonely people.  B. People feel lonely for many reasons.
C. Ways to fight against loneliness.             D. Lonely people can affect others.

Dear Rosemary,
I was very glad to get your letter this morning. I really ought to have written to you---it was my turn, I know----but I have been terribly busy. The children seem to take up all my time. I am thinking of sending Ann to a nursery school. She’ll be four next month. Baby has just started to walk and doesn’t give me a moment’s peace. But you know what it is like! How are all your children? I’m sure they love living in the country.
I’m afraid we can’t come over to see you next Sunday, as you suggest. Tom’s mother is coming to spend the day with us. What about the Sunday after that----- the twenty-second? We are free that day and should love to come. We’re longing to see your house.
Let me know, then, if the Sunday after next suits you. May we come for lunch? We’d like to leave fairly early in the evening to avoid the heavy traffic on the roads.
Love from us all,
Edna

Dear Alice,
You really have two different questions here, so we’ll discuss them one at a time. Your problems at school may be a result of a number of things . You don’t say much about how these classmates get along with each other. It’s possible that all the students are feeling a little cautious(谨慎的) in the first term.
It’s also possible that the others are unkind. If this is so, you have to find out why you are the class “outsider”.
In your letter you say you often offer to help others with their work. Is it possible that your classmates don’t understand your offers? Could it seem that you were trying to “ buy” friends with these offers?
Is it possible that you took no notice of your classmates when you had your good friends near you ? They may have felt hurt at that time. It may take a time for them to believe in you if so. Try to ask one classmate directly what the problem is. If you hear a negative answer, at least you’ll know what to do.
Yours truly,
Shelia
小题1:From the letter we know that Alice was very _______.
