Bamboo is one of the nature¡¯s most surprising plants. Many people call this plant a tree, but it is a kind of grass.

Like other kinds of grass, a bamboo plant may be cut very low to the ground, but it will grow back very quickly. A Japanese scientist recorded one bamboo plant that grew almost 1.5 meters in 24 hours! Bamboo grows almost everywhere in the world except Europe. There are more than 1,000 kinds of bamboo that grow around the world on both mountains and plains(ƽԭ).

Not all bamboo looks the same. Some bamboo plants are very thin. They may only grow to be a few centimeters wide while others may grow to more than 30 centimeters across. This plant also comes in different colors, from yellow to black to green.

Many Asian countries have been using bamboo for hundreds of years. They often use bamboo for building new buildings. As a matter of fact, the cables(ÉþË÷) that hold up the hanging bridge across the Min River in Sichuan are made of bamboo. The bridge has been in use for more than 1,000 years, and is still holding strong.

In Africa, engineers are teaching poor farmers how to find water using bamboo. These African countries need cheap ways to find water because they have no money, and their fields often die from no rain and no water. It seems that bamboo is one of the best things they can use. Bamboo pipes and drills(×ê) can help to make the poor thirsty fields to be watered.

A new retail phenomenon from Japan which allows customers to walk away with free products is to launch in Britain. From tomorrow, visitors to SampleTrend¡¯s central London store can try anything on its shelves, and all of the products can be taken home without charge.

For an annual membership fee of £60£¬users are free to enter the shop once a month and help themselves to no less than £250 worth of goods every year. The only ¡®catch¡¯ is that shoppers are asked to complete a simple questionnaire about each product they try. Known as ¡®try-vertising¡¯£¬the concept allows manufacturers to test products and receive consumer feedback(·´À¡£©before launching onto the open market. It is already a sensation in Japan and now looks set to transform the fortunes of the embattled UK retail industry. If everything goes well, countries such as Germany and France will give it a try. According to new figures, stores are facing a Christmas crisis with the weakest high street trading for six months. Michael Ghosh, the founder behind SampleTrend, said, ¡°The concept behind SampleTrend is unique in the UK. It allows shoppers the opportunity to walk away with a number of real, full-size products of their choosing without handing over a penny.¡± The concept of in-store try-vertising is simple but effective. Businesses across all sectors from cosmetic manufacturers to beverage makers, place new products on the shelves at SampleTrend and wait for consumers to try them out.

Customers complete a short 10-point questionnaire about the product. The feedback they provide is used to make any finishing touches before the product is brought officially to market. The SampleTrend store stocks everything from cosmetics, food and drink, and household goods. Ghosh, the former advertising and sales director for Disney Europe, said such feedback may also build brand loyalty from the outset¡ª a particularly appealing prospect for new businesses.

1.The most attractive part of the idea for customers is that_____.

A. they only pay £60 for a life-long membership

B. they can help to make the products better

C. it won¡¯t take much time to finish the questionnaire

D. they can take things home without paying for them

2.The idea of ¡®try-vertising¡¯ originates from_____.

A. Germany B. Britain C. Japan D. France

3.The purpose of ¡®try-vertising¡¯ is to_____.

A. get feedback for their new products

B. sell more products at Christmas time

C. encourage people to buy more products

D. give customers free products as gifts

4.What does Michael Ghosh think of this business idea?

A. Puzzling. B. Unpractical.

C. Promising. D. Surprising.

FOR many young people, having to attend school with a parent would be their worst nightmare. However, Senior 1 student Li Qinmei is happy taking her father with her as long as she can go to classes. He is disabled and unable to take care of himself.

The 16-year-old country girl in Zhucheng, Shandong Province has experienced one disaster after another in her short life. Li lost her mother at three. Four years later, her father became paralyzed after a tractor accident. At 12, her misfortune returned with the death of her grandma. Since then she has been forced to shoulder all the responsibility for her broken family.

Li learnt to cook and managed to live a life with an allowance of only 24 yuan per month. The most difficult thing she had to deal with was helping her father bathe, dress and use the toilet as he could hardly move.

"I felt embarrassed, and so did my dad. It was really hard at the beginning," she recalled.

During most of her junior school years, Li went to classes only once a month as her father was seriously ill at the time.

"I taught myself at home and asked teachers for help on my school days," she explained.

Li's hard work paid off this fall. She was admitted by Zhucheng No 1 High School, a local key school, based on her good performance in the entrance exams.

The school offered Li and her father a room on campus to live in so she could look after him during breaks.

Once in a while, Li felt sad when she saw her classmates going shopping or hanging out with friends.

"I envy them sometimes because they have both mum and dad to look after them. However, I soon feel relieved as I still have my dad with me," she said.

Li admitted that the difficulties in life had taught her to be strong.

"I believe I will go on and continue my studies at a good university," she said, in a confident tone.

Her teacher Mr. Wang has the same belief. Li made great progress in the recent monthly exams. "She works hard and is always eager to excel. It's not easy for her never to be late for school, but she has managed to make it work," Wang said.

1.Li Qinmei has to shoulder the family because ________.

A. her father was badly injured in a car accident

B. her mother passed away when she was 3

C. her grandma died when she was 12

D. misfortune in her life forced her to do so

2.What¡¯s the meaning of the underlined phrase ¡°hanging out¡± in the passage?_________.

A. playing outside B. working hard

C. exchanging ideas D. talking happily

3.According to the passage, which statement is Not True? __________.

A. Li Qinmei was admitted to a local key school because of his good scores in the exams

B. Li Qinmei is very embarrassed when she helps her father bathe

C. Li Qinmei often goes to attend her father after class

D. Li Qinmei is able to go to class on time though she has to attend her father

There are two main types of non?verbal communication. Body language is the first. Body language is body movements that depend on a person¡¯s attitude or feelings. Body language includes the way people walk£¬how they stand£¬and their facial features. In other words£¬any kind of meaning is shown by a person¡¯s attitude or body movements. For example£¬when a boy is sad he may drop his head and walk slowly. Or£¬if a girl is happy£¬she might run and jump or stand up straight and put her hands in the air. People don¡¯t have to say anything to show how they feel about things. The colour of people¡¯s skin may even show how they feel. For example£¬if people with light coloured skin get embarrassed£¬their skin may turn red£¬or if they are worried£¬they might get pale. Body language can be voluntary(Ö÷¶¯µÄ) or involuntary(ÎÞÒâʶµÄ)£®An interesting fact is that blind children will smile when happy even though they have never seen a smile.

The next main type of non?verbal communication is gestures. Gestures are communications like facial expressions£¬hand signals£¬eye gazing£¬and body postures. Examples include smiles£¬handshakes£¬waving£¬and raising certain fingers to say something. For instance£¬if you saw a friend at a noisy carnival£¬you might smile and wave at your friend. You might also point at the Ferris wheel if you wanted to meet your friend there. You could do all of these things without saying a word. Another great example is in baseball when the catcher signals to the pitcher the kind of pitch to use for the batter that is up.

1.If a boy passes the final exam he ________.

A£®might not raise his head

B£®might walk home slowly

C£®might run home singing

D£®might not stand there straight

2.When someone gets pale he is most likely to be ______.

A£®anxious B£®surprised

C£®embarrassed D£®disappointed

3.Which one of the following is WRONG according to this passage?

A£®Body language is mainly expressed by one¡¯s body movements.

B£®The blind children can also smile when they are glad.

C£®You can also express yourself without saying a word in baseball.

D£®Gestures can be shown only by one¡¯s hands.

4.All the following are gestures except ________.

A£®hand signals B£®coloured skin

C£®hand wave D£®eye gazing

Venice,Italy:The Venice Tide Barrier Project will be the largest flood prevention project in the world.The project has been debated in one form or another for over 40 years as a way to protect this historical city-on-the-water for future generations.With Venice slowly sinking,and the water around it slowly rising,and floods always a fear,Italians have known for a long time that something needs to be done.Finally,the Prime Minister of Italy approved the second phase of the plan,including 80 hinged barriers(ÓýÂÁ´Á¬½ÓµÄ±ÚÀÝ),each approximately 6,500 square feet.

Millau,France:The Millau Viaduct(Ã×Âå¸ß¼ÜÇÅ)is the highest bridge in the world.At 1,125 feet high(slightly taller than the Eiffel Tower,1,063 feet)and over 8,000 feet long,it sometimes sits above the cloud line.The engineered wonder of the bridge itself is nearly as amazing as the view of the valley below.

Zhangjiajie,China:The Bailong Elevator is the world¡¯s largest outside elevator.At about 1,070 feet high,this elevator looms(ÒþÔ¼³öÏÖ) high midway up a cliff overlooking a valley far below.Moreover,the elevator is mostly made of glass,affording passengers a dizzying view to the depths below.There is some concern,however,about the elevator¡¯s long-term impact on the surrounding natural environment.

Norway to Britain:The Langeled Pipeline extends(ÑÓÉì)from Nyhamna,Norway,to Easington in the UK.It is about 1,200 km long and before the completion of the Nord Stream pipeline,it was the longest underwater gas pipeline in the world.Gas is exported(³ö¿Ú)from the Ormen Lange field,situated at a depth of 1,000 metres and located 100 km northwest of the Norwegian coast to Nyhamna.From there the Langeled Pipeline runs to Easington in the UK via the Sleipner Riser Platform in the North Sea.It will eventually supply 20% of Britain¡¯s gas needs.

When I was in college,I was always very passionate(ÈÈÇéµÄ)about music and I was proud to be a member of our band.However,I almost gave up because of my fear of playing solos(¶À×à).

One day two years ago my director informed me that he wanted me to be the featured soloist in a piece of music.Of course I was terrified,but he encouraged me that everything would be OK,and that he believed me and knew that I could do it.Up until four days before the concert,I could not make it through the solo.I would always seem to get discouraged before I played it.

I decided to ask my director for help thinking that he would tell me that I didn¡¯t have to do it and that he was still proud of me.All he said was¡°You just have to believe yourself.¡±I didn¡¯t think trying his advice would hurt,so I started the next morning differently.Instead of wondering how I could mess up,I imagined myself playing through my solo with confidence and I kept on telling myself that I could do it.

The strange thing was...it worked!After that day I played the solo without any mistake.When the big concert came,although I was a little nervous,I knew that I could do this.I didn¡¯t know what was going to happen,but I realized that the only person that was holding me back from being my best,was myself.I believed myself.I thought things would go a little more differently than they had in the past.Of course,I played the solo wonderfully and I gained acclamation from all the audience.
