It seems that every week someone becomes ¡°the first¡± or ¡°the youngest¡± or even ¡°the first married couple¡± to do something that doesn¡¯t seem to be very useful to the rest of us.
Why do they do it? Don¡¯t they have better things to do with their time and money? And why should I be interested anyway? Human beings have already climbed the highest mountains, sailed across the oceans and flown around the world. Many of these things were done a long, long time ago. There just isn¡¯t anything left to explore nowadays. I suppose there¡¯s still a lot of the universe left, and the bottom of the ocean is still a bit of a mystery, but you need a lot of technology to explore areas like that. So, those people who feel the need for adventure can only do things that have been done before.
In May of this year a British man became the first person to walk alone from Canada to the North Pole. Personally, if I wanted to visit the Arctic, I¡¯d rather go as a tourist on a cruise ship, with a helicopter trip to the North Pole included in the price. But OK, this man decided that he wanted to walk. The problem was that he went in the spring when the ice begins to melt and break up. So he got stuck on a longely piece of ice and a plane had to be sent in to rescue him.
These sorts of rescues are making many Australians angry with these record breakers. People trying to break sailing or rowing records get into trouble in the seas. So the Australian navy has to send ships to save them and this costs the government millions of dollars. I suppose we can¡¯t just leave them to drown but we should give the bill to the people who are rescued.

When my children were small, the toughest part of the day was getting to work. There were diapers(Äò²¼), formula(ÄÌ·Û),  36  of clothes to worry about for the children. There was their breakfast, and I must  37  they were clean and ready for the day. It was pretty chaotic(»ìÂÒµÄ). I have always been one to  38  more about making sure everyone else had what they needed than to take care of myself. 39 , I had my clothing and my packed lunch set out so that I could quickly get ready and then turn my  40  back to getting the children ready.
I tried to keep my  41  pretty easy in the morning. There just wasn¡¯t time, but that was OK as long as I kept moving. I would manage a  42  look at myself in the full-length mirror just before I  43  out the door.
Once a week we had management team  44  and it was important to be there on time and to appear relaxed and  45 . We would go around the conference table, each  46  on successes and areas of concern. When it came around to my  47 , all eyes would be on me as I had my chance to brag(×Ô¿ä) on my programs and increasing  48 .
I thought I was pretty  49  at playing the role of the cool, calm, collected program manager 50  one week I arrived at one of these management team meetings and as the  51  went around the table, getting to me. There were  52  looks on the faces of the others looking at me. I started to feel a little  53  as that ¡° what¡¯s going on?¡±  54  grew more intense. My closest colleague started doing this strange nodding thing in my direction. It was then that I  55  that I had my dress on inside-out.

  It looks like a mobile phone, but the service is much cheaper. It acts like a mobile phone, but only in your own city. Beyond the city walls, it¡¯s useless.
¡°Little Smart¡±, also called ¡°xiaolingtong¡±, has always been compared to mobile phones. But actually, it is more like one of those cordless phones(ÎÞÉþµç»°) used around the home. The only difference is that this one reaches much further than from the bathroom to the living room. It can travel across an entire city.
Cheap costs are the main reason for the success of Little Smart. It costs 25 yuan a month for the line and about 0.1 yuan per minute to use. A mobile phone, on the other hand, can cost four or five times as much. What¡¯s more, unlike mobile phones, there¡¯s no fee(·Ñ) for incoming calls. So these low charges have attracted many users.
But, Little Smart is not really that smart. Users often complain about its bad voice quality. And there are not as many stations to pick up its signals as there are for mobiles. ¡°I couldn¡¯t receive a phone call if I was on a bus,¡± said Li Ping, a user in Hangzhou. ¡°It worked fine when I stood still, but there were breaks in signal when I was moving.¡±
Scientists are trying to make Little Smart more user-friendly. Messaging and Internet access(½ÓÈë) have been added to the service. And the latest Little Smart handset even has color screen.
СÌâ1:Why is Little Smart popular in China?
A£®It looks like a mobile phone.B£®The service is much cheaper.
C£®There is no fee for incoming calls.D£®All of the above.
СÌâ2: How is the charge of Little Smart?
A£®About 10 fen per minute to use.
B£®It costs four or five times more than a mobile phone.
C£®It only costs 25 yuan each month.
D£®There¡¯s no fee for calls.
СÌâ3: Why are users not satisfied with Little Smart?
A£®They can¡¯t hear each other clearly out of the city.
B£®There are so few stations for Little Smart to pick up its signals.
C£®When you use it, you must stand up.
D£®The charges are low.
СÌâ4: The underlined word ¡°handset¡± in the last paragraph means ¡°______¡±.
A£®the hand bagB£®telephoneC£®serviceD£®mobile phone
СÌâ5: What can we infer from the passage?
A£®It¡¯s wrong to say that Little Smart is smart.
B£®Scientist are trying to make Little Smart smaller.
C£®Little Smart will be better than today.
D£®People will change Little Smart into a mobile phone.
One of the most difficult things for children to deal with when moving to a new town is leaving their friends and making new ones.
We once moved and one of our new neighbors told us about a summer camp at the Recreation Center all the kids went to. My husband and I looked into it and we found it was unbelievably cheap. I had the kids sign up (±¨Ãû) the next day so that they could know more kids there.
Another thing we did was to have them sign up for sports when school started. They were happy to be on teams with new friends they made. This also gave me a chance to meet new people and from them I sometimes got some useful ideas for my new books.
If you¡¯re just moving to a new house in the same city you live in now, it won¡¯t really be a problem unless your kids are changing schools. If they are, it is a great idea to have them take the address book to school. Thus, your children won¡¯t feel ¡°lost¡± without their old friends.
If you¡¯re able to, over the summer vacation, try inviting the friend your child misses most to come and visit your new home for a week, or even a few weeks. I know this can be difficult if that child has to fly, but maybe you can work out a plan with the child¡¯s parents. Think how happy the kids will be when they meet!
СÌâ1:The author had her kids sign up for the summer camp mainly because _____.
A£®she could afford the costB£®she was asked to do so by her kids
C£®it could give her kids a chance to meet more kids
D£®it could make the summer holiday not so boring
СÌâ2:What is probably the author?
A£®A housewife.B£®A business woman.C£®A teacher.D£®A writer.
СÌâ3:What we can¡¯t learn from the passage is that ____. 
A£®a summer camp at the Recreation Center was very cheap
B£®having the kids take part in sports is good for both the author and her kids
C£®parents should ask their children not to think of their old friends
D£®parents should create more chances for children to make new friends
СÌâ4:The purpose of the passage is to teach parents how to ______ when they move to a new place. 
A£®get used to the new life in a short time
B£®help their children make new friends and keep the old ones
C£®get along with their new neighbors
D£®help their children get used to the new school life
  What time is it? Most people are pretty accurate in their answer. And if you don¡¯t know for sure, it¡¯s very likely that you can find out. There may be a watch on your wrist; there may be a clock on the wall, desk, or computer screen; or maybe you¡¯re riding in a car that has a clock in the dashboard(ÒDZí°å).
Even if you don¡¯t have a timepiece of some sort nearby, your body keeps its own beat. Humans have an internal clock that regulates(µ÷½Ú) the beating of our heart, the pace of our breathing, the discharge(Åųö) of chemicals within our bloodstream, and many other bodily functions.
Time is something from which we can¡¯t escape. Even if we ignore it, it¡¯s still going by, ticking away, second by second, minute by minute, hour by hour. So the main issue in using your time well is, ¡°Who¡¯s in charge?¡± We can allow time to slip by and let it be our enemy. Or we can take control of it and make it our ally. 
By taking control of how you spend your time, you¡¯ll increase your chances of becoming a more successful student. Perhaps more importantly, the better you are at managing the time you devote to your studies, the more time you will have to spend on your outside interests.
The aim of time management is not to schedule every moment so we become slaves of a timetable that governs every waking moment of the day. Instead, the aim is to permit us to make informed choices as to how we use our time. Rather than letting the day go by, largely without our awareness, what we are going to discuss next can make us better able to control time for our own purposes.
СÌâ1: The underlined word ¡°ally¡± in Para.3 most likely means somebody or something that is ___.
A£®your supporter and helps youB£®under your control and obeys you
C£®under your influence and follows youD£®your slave and serves you
СÌâ2: The author intends to tell you that time __________.
A£®could be managed by the internal clock of human bodies
B£®should be well managed for our own interest
C£®should be saved for outside interests
D£®could be regulated by a timepiece such as a clock or a watch
СÌâ3: In the next part, the author would most probably discuss with you _________.
A£®how to make up for lost timeB£®how to have a good time
C£®how to make good use of timeD£®how to keep up with the times
They leap from helicopters or speeding boats, bringing aid to swimmers who get into trouble off Italy¡¯s popular beaches.
For these dog lifeguards, the doggie paddle £¨¹·ÅÙʽÓ稣©does just fine.
These ¡°lifedogs¡± tow a buoy(¾ÈÉúÒÂ) that victims can grab, or a raft they can sit on to be towed back to shore, and unlike their human counterparts(Óë¶Ô·½µØλÏ൱µÄÈË), they can easily jump from helicopters and speeding boats to reach swimmers in trouble.
With millions flocking(ÈËȺ) to Italy¡¯s crowded beaches each summer, the Italian Coast Guard says it rescues about 3,000 people every year ¡ª and their dog helpers are credited with saving several lives.
It takes three years for the canines to reach expert rescue status, and currently 300 dogs are fully trained for duty, said Roberto Gasbarri, who co-ordinates the Italian School of Canine Lifeguards program at a centre outside of Rome in the seaside town of Civitavecchia.
¡°Dogs are useful in containing the physical fatigue£¨Æ£ÀÍ£© of the lifeguard, to increase the speed at which casualties£¨ÓöÄÑÕߣ© are retrieved£¨ÕÒµ½²¢Ïλأ©, to increase the security of both the casualty and of the lifeguard,¡± Gasbarri said.
The Civitavecchia centre is one of a dozen around the country for the school founded more than 20 years ago in the northern province of Bergamo by Ferruccio Pilenga, whose first trainee was his own Newfoundland.
The school will train any breed£¨Æ·ÖÖ£©, as long as they weigh at least 30 kilograms, but Labradors, Newfoundlands and golden retrievers are most commonly used because of their natural instinct for swimming. Each dog works in tandem with£¨Í¬ ¡­¡­ºÏ×÷£© a human lifeguard, who also acts as the animal¡¯s trainer.
СÌâ1:Which of the following can act as the best title fo the passage?
A£®Dogs to the RescueB£®Dogs Are Good at Doggie Paddle
C£®The Wonderful Performance of DogsD£®Dogs: Our Loyal Friends
СÌâ2:What advantage do these life-dogs have over human lifeguards in a rescue?
A£®Dog can swim very fastB£®Dogs can finish rescue work with ease.
C£®Dogs can finish the great work free of charge.D£®Dogs can easily be trained
СÌâ3: Which of the following is TRUE about the Civitavecchia center according to the text?
A£®Any breed can be trained there.
B£®The ones who have the gift for swimming are welcomed.
C£®After a better training, the dogs can work alone.
D£®It is the only place for training dog lifeguards in the school.
СÌâ4:What does the writer want to tell us in the 4th paragraph?
A£®Without the dog lifeguards, 3,000 people would lose their lives every year.
B£®The buautiful beaches attract millions of people every year.
C£®Dog lifeguards play an important part in a rescue.
D£®Italy is a famous place of interest.
¡°BANG!¡± the door caused a reverberation(»ØÉù)£®It was just standing there, with Father standing on one side, and I on the other side£®
We were both in great anger£®¡°Never set foot in this house again!¡± stormed Father£®With tears welling up in my eyes, I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street£®
The street lights were shining rather desolately(ÆàÁ¹µÄ)£®I wandered aimlessly£®
A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me£®I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space: happy and harmonious£®
But now¡­ I don¡¯t know whether it is because I have grown up or because dad is getting old£®We differ in our ways of thinking£®He always imposes his opinions and codes of behavior on me£®Whenever I do something wrong, he never admits it£®We are just like two people coming from two different worlds£®It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened£®

All the lights were off except father¡¯s£®
Dad was always like this£®Maybe he didn¡¯t know how to express himself£®After shouting at me, he never showed any mercy or any moments of regret£®After an argument he has the habit of creeping up in my sleep and then tucking me underneath the covers£®

a£®I opened the door and entered the house£®
b£®Sadly I ran out into the street£®
c£®I reached the place where I lived and saw my house still brightly lit£®
d£®I thought of my father¡¯s kindness towards me£®

C£®The sight of a father with a child in his arms£®
D£®The sight of light in his own house£®
СÌâ3:Why do you think the father often shouts at his son?
A£®Perhaps the father is getting older and older£®
B£®Perhaps the son has already grown up£®
C£®Perhaps they never agree with each other£®
СÌâ4:What conclusion can you draw after reading the passage?
A£®The father is actually kind to his son£®
B£®The father treats his son in an unfair way£®
C£®The father is neither kind nor cruel to his son£®
D£®The father is always finding fault with his son£®
One of the greatest sources of unhappiness, in my experience, is the difficulty we have in accepting things as they are.
When we see something we don¡¯t like, we wish it could be different -- we cry out for something better. That may be human nature, or perhaps it¡¯s something that¡¯s ingrained£¨¸ùÉîµÙ¹ÌµÄ£©in our culture.
The root of unhappiness is that we decided we didn¡¯t like it in the first place. We¡¯ve judged it as bad, rather than saying, ¡°It¡¯s not bad or good, as it just is.¡±
An example: in my recent post£¨Ìû×Ó£©, A Beautiful Method to Find Peace of Mind, quite a few commentators thought my outlook was negative, pessimistic, or fatalistic£¨ÌýÌìÓÉÃüµÄ£©... because I said you should expect people to mess up, expect things to go differently from what you planned. Above all, you should embrace that.
It¡¯s too negative to expect something to go wrong, they said. However, I think it¡¯s only negative if you see it as negative, or if you judge it as bad.
Instead, you could accept it as the way the world works -- as the way things actually are. And try to understand why they are that way.
Does it mean you can never change things? Not at all. But changing things is not because you can¡¯t accept things as they are, but because you enjoy the process of change of learning and growing.
Can we make this world a better place? Again, that¡¯s an assumption that it¡¯s a bad place fight now. But instead, you could say the world is just what it is -- and that¡¯s neither good nor bad. You can say that you¡¯ll continue to try to do things to help others, to grow as a person, to make a difference in this world -- not because you¡¯re such a bad person now, but because that¡¯s the path you choose to take, because you enjoy that path.
As you catch yourself judging, and wishing for different -- try a different approach: accept, and understand. It might lead to some interesting results.
СÌâ1: Which of the following statements is correct according to the author?
A£®We can never change things because we can¡¯t accept them.
B£®We shouldn¡¯t try to do whatever we can to help others and make a difference.
C£®It¡¯s wrong of you to expect things to go differently.
D£®There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.
СÌâ2: What¡¯s the main idea of the whole passage?
A£®The world is a good place for us to live in.
B£®Unhappiness comes from what we want to be different.
C£®You might as well accept the world as it is and try to embrace it.
D£®Let¡¯s make the world more beautiful.
СÌâ3:Where does the passage probably come from?
A£®A novel.B£®A news story.C£®A travel guide.D£®A magazine.
