It was December 25, 1914, only 5 months into World War I. German, British, and French soldiers, already sick and tired of the senseless killing, disobeyed their superiors and started socializing with “the enemy” along two-thirds of the Western Front.

German troops held up Christmas trees with signs, “Merry Christmas”. Thousands of troops ran across the battlefields covered with dead bodies. They sang Christmas songs, exchanged photographs of loved ones back home, shared food and even played football. Soldiers hugged men they had been trying to kill a few short hours before. They agreed to warn each other if their officers forced them to fire their weapons, and to aim high.

Fear ran through the military leaders on both sides. They felt that their power was being challenged: soldiers declaring their brotherhood with each other and refusing to fight. Generals declared this unexpected peacemaking illegal and said that participating soldiers would face a military court. Those found guilty would be imprisoned or even shot. By March 1915 the socializing movement had been destroyed and the killing machine was back in full operation. Over the next three years more than fifteen million people died in the war.

Not many people have heard the story of the Christmas Truce (休战). On Christmas Day, 1988, a local radio host in Boston played “Christmas in the Trenches”, a song about the Christmas Truce, several times and was stunned by his listeners’ response. Thousands of people called in, praising the song, with many moved to tears by the amazing events it described.

You can probably guess why the callers were in tears. The Christmas Truce story goes against most of what we have been taught about people. It lets us see the world as it can be and says, “This really happened once.” It shows us the potential we have as humans, and contradicts all of those TV and newspaper stories that tell us how mean and heartless people are. It is like hearing that our deepest wishes really are true: the world really can be different.

1.The soldiers began socializing with the enemy because ________.

A. they couldn't bear the meaningless killing

B. it was the best way to avoid being killed

C. they feared that they would be caught

D. their enemies were from similar backgrounds

2.How did the generals finally put an end to the soldiers’ socializing?

A. They sent the soldiers’ loved ones to prison.

B. They moved the two groups of soldiers further apart.

C. They increased the number of officers to control the soldiers.

D. They warned the soldiers that they would face severe punishment.

3.The underlined word “stunned” in Paragraph 4 most probably means ________.

A. satisfied B. shocked C. amused D. confused

4.The author uses the story of the soldiers to imply that human beings ________.

A. are not trustworthy under stress

B. are naturally aggressive and war-like

C. are basically caring and kindhearted

D. will always do what is in their own self-interest

Driving a car is not just handling controls and judging speed and distance. It requires you to predict what other road users will do and get ready to react to something unexpected. When alcohol is consumed, it enters your bloodstream and acts as a depressant (抑制药), damaging eyesight, judgment and co-ordination(协调), slowing down reaction time and greatly increasing the risk of accidents. Even below the drink driving link, driving will be affected.

Alcohol may take a few minutes to be absorbed into the bloodstream and start action on the brain. Absorption rate is increased when drinking on an empty stomach or when consuming drinks mixed with fruit juice. To get rid of alcohol from the body is a very slow process and it is not possible to speed it up with any measures like taking a shower or having a cup of tea or coffee.

The present Road Traffic Ordinance states clearly that the limit of alcohol concentration is:

● 50 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of blood; or

● 22 micrograms of alcohol per 100ml of breath; or

● 67 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of urine (尿液).

Drivers who cause traffic accidents, or who commit a moving traffic offence or are being suspected of drink driving will be tested.

Any driver found drinking beyond the limit will be charged. The driver declared guilty may be fined a maximum of HK $25,000 and be sentenced to up to 3 years in prison and punished for 10 driving-offence points; or temporarily banned from driving.

The same punishment applies to failing to provide specimens (样本) for breath, blood or urine tests without good excuse.

Drink driving is a criminal offence（违法犯罪行为）. Be a responsible driver, think before you drink. For the safety of yourself and other road users, never drive after consuming alcohol.

1.The first paragraph is mainly about ________.

A. the introduction of driving skills

B. the damage of drinking to your body

C. the effect of drinking on driving

D. the process of alcohol being absorbed

2.The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to “________”.

A. alcohol B. absorption C. blood D. process

3.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Drinking below the drink driving limit has no effect on driving.

B. Alcohol is taken in more quickly when drunk with fruit juice.

C. Having a cup of tea helps to get rid of alcohol from the body.

D. 50 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of breath is below the drink limit.

4.A driver suspected of (被怀疑) drink driving ________.

A. should provide specimens for testing

B. will be forbidden to drive for 3years

C. will be punished for 10 driving-offence points

D. should pay a maximum fine of HK $25,000

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中的两项为多余选项。

Of the many unpleasant emotions we can experience, fear may top the list. 1. . Fear can also keep us from pursuing the things in life that really matter—like following our dreams, and developing important relationships. I have some ideas, though, of how to be free from fear.

●Experience fear.

I used to be very afraid of speaking in front of people. I would get sweaty palms and my stomach would be so tied up that I wouldn’t be able to eat. However, each time I spoke, I noticed afterwards that it wasn’t that bad. Things I fear are never as bad in reality as I make them out in my mind. 2. .

●Create space.

The first and most important step to being fearless is to create some space between ourselves and the emotion of fear. This isn’t accomplished by ignoring the fear, or trying to talk ourselves out of it. 3. . In fact, a recent research shows that by simply admitting the emotion we actually begin to reverse the “fight or flight（逃避）” response in the body.

●Control the breath and feel the fear.

Once we acknowledge the presence of fear, the second step is to control the breathing so that it becomes slower and gentler. We try to make the breath just a little bit longer, and feel how fear manifests（展现）in the body. 4. .

With practice, we can create enough space between us and the emotion of fear so that we’re able to replace a fearful thought with a positive one. 5. . For instance, before I get up to speak in front of a group of people, I imagine that the audience is positively impressed by what I say and that I manage to complete the speech successfully.

A. We can imagine a positive outcome for whatever we’re about to do.

B. Space is created only when we can honestly acknowledge that fear exists.

C. Fear, if left uncontrolled, can even destroy our life.

D. As we pay attention to the physical symptoms of fear, we can see fear objectively.

E. When we can see a positive outcome in our mind, fear no longer holds us back.

F. But fear is more than just physically unpleasant.

G. So one way to get rid of fear is to simply push ourselves to do things that we fear

—What do you think of Betty?

— Lovely, though she ______ be naughty sometimes.

A. should B. mustC. can D. need

Having spring around makes you feel different after such a long winter journey. The power of sunshine brings us a lot of comfort, optimism, self-confidence and of course a smile. Imagine how great it will be if we are so positive all year round!

Living like this is possible if you really think about it. In order to exist in such a state of happiness, we must have sunshine radiating from within ourselves, shining from our hearts, minds and souls. Actually，that’s your choice, and if you think that way then your own life will reflect that attitude of yours!

In order to make “sunshine” or rather, “light” part of our being, it is so important that you watch your thoughts, your words and your actions so that you will accept what you really feel you’d like to create in your own life. Watch your thoughts and really become aware of how many negative thoughts pass through your mind about yourself and other people around you. Watch to see how often you gossip (说闲话）about other people, which is actually often attached with feelings of jealousy (妒忌）and insecurity about yourself.

You are also supposed to take a close look at your “intention”. How many of you do something for another person without expecting to receive something in return? It might not even have to be a material or physical thing you expect； expecting to be recognized for what you have done is enough to create conditions on Having spring around makes you feel differentyour intention. Think about it!

Putting all of these together, it seems that most of us are creating monsters inside us just by simply talking, thinking and not putting our heart out with the right intention towards helping someone else. If you take all your negative attitudes in one hand and measure your need to feel “sunshine“ in the other, you will see how both these elements really contradict each other.

Be brave and break your patterns and your habits this spring, and by doing so，you will allow the true sunshine to take place by radiating out from your heart and into your life and the lives of the people around you!

1.You can have sunshine shining from your inside .

A. by measuring what you need

B. by helping someone else

C. by watching what you think, say and do

D. by changing your intention

2. According to the writer, you don t feel secure about yourself when you .

A. gossip about other people

B. take a close look at your intention

C. expect to be recognized for what you’ve done

D. become aware of your negative thoughts

3.What can be inferred from the passage?

A. Expecting something in return for our help isn’t the right intention.

B. Breaking our patterns is the most important to get true sunshine.

C. If we don-t intend to help others, we create monsters inside us.

D. Negative attitudes have little to do with happiness.

4.The passage is written mainly to _ .

A. stress the importance of the positive life style

B. analyze the intentions and thoughts in our mind

C. offer advice on having sunshine from our inside

D. warn us about the bad effects of negative attitudes

My parents knew their wealth: each other, their six children, and their faith. They tried to live simple lives so that they could have time for what was most important.

They didn’t busy themselves buying a bigger house, because that would mean working harder to pay the monthly mortgage(按揭贷款)，working overtime or taking second job. Who would go running with me then? Who would read stories to me?

They didn’t burden themselves with buying an expensive car because that would mean worrying about installment(分期付款) bills. Besides, walking to the shopping centre every Saturday afternoon with me gave my dad his needed exercise, and made me feel so special.

One of my heart’s delights was seeing Dad and Mom in their bedroom at night, after our nightly family prayer. The lights were turned off, and I’d see the figure of my father seated on his old chair and Mom standing behind him, gently massaging(按摩) his shoulders. I’d hear them talk about what happened during their day. Even as a child, I sensed their quiet pleasure in being together.

My question today: Could they have done this rich ritual(仪式) each night and nourished(滋润) their marriage if they had been busy paying for expensive clothes for themselves or their kids, or if they had been worrying about monthly bills for new hi-tech equipment? I don’t think so. And I’ve made a choice: I don’t want that of life either.
