As we all know, travelling can be an excited experience. Let me give you some advices that you have to pay attention. You can find out more about your destination by surf the Internet before you set out. You needn’t take too many cash.

3. . It helps us to succeed and teaches us to survive and shows us an exact way, while success brings in money, fame, pride and self—respect. The only way to express our thanks for our success, achievements and happiness is to be respectful to the failure.

Hope is what keeps life going. 4. Hope builds in patience.

If you need to spend time on the road，it’s important to find ways to keep safe on your feet. Don’t suppose it's your right of way. Yes, you might be crossing at the right place, at the right time, within the crosswalk area, but you are still exposed to danger. It could be a distracted driver, or a cyclist with a loose sense of traffic rules, so you could still get hurt. You can be in the right legally, but that won’t be much help when you're in the hospital.

Follow pedestrian signals. Just as drivers aren’t supposed to speed up to beat a light when crossing through an intersection, pedestrians need to take the same care when obeying their own signals. If the hand is flashing and the countdown is into single digits (数字），stay where you are. Trying to outrun the flashing hand is unsafe，especially as cars try to clear the intersection before the light turns red.

Give drivers enough time to stop when crossing. Don’t suppose that drivers will jam on their brakes when you hit the crosswalk signals. Some provinces, such as Alberta, issue (发出）a ticket if you don’t give drivers enough time to brake.

Cross quickly. Once you’ve followed all of the other rules, and it is safe to cross the street, don’t then just wander along in front of six lanes (车道）of traffic. There’s no need to run or jog, but respect the drivers who respected you enough to stop for you.

1.Who is the text intended for?

A. Drivers. B. Cyclists. C. Police. D. Pedestrians.

2.What does the underlined word “distracted” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A. Considerate. B. Strange.

C. Kind-hearted. D. Absent-minded.

3. In what case would pedestrians in Alberta be fined?

A. Racing against time with drivers.

B. Following crosswalk signals.

C. Crossing the crosswalk area.

D. Walking outside six lanes.

4. What can be a suitable title for the text?

A. Rules for Traffic Police

B. Tips to Keep Safe on Your Feet

C. Things Every Driver Should Know

D. Signals for Both Pedestrians and Drivers

LONDON --- A British judge on Thursday sentenced a businessman who sold fake(假冒的) bomb detectors(探测器) to 10 years in prison, saying the man hadn't cared about potentially deadly consequences.

It is believed that James McCormick got about $77.8 million from the sales of his detectors - which were based on a kind of golf ball finder - to countries including Iraq, Belgium and Saudi Arabia.

McCormick, 57, was convicted(判罪) of cheats last month and sentenced Thursday at the Old Bailey court in London.

"Your cheating conduct in selling a great amount of useless equipment simply for huge profit promoted a false sense of security and in all probability materially contributed to causing death and injury to innocent people," Judge Richard Hone told McCormick. "you have neither regret, nor shame, nor any sense of guilt."

The detectors, sold for up to $42,000 each, were said to be able to find such dangerous objects as bombs under water and from the air. But in fact they "lacked any grounding in science" and were of no use.

McCormick had told the court that he sold his detectors to the police in Kenya, the prison service in Hong Kong, the army in Egypt and the border control in Thailand.

"I never had any bad results from customers," he said.

1. Why was McCormick sentenced to prison?

A. He sold bombs. B. He caused death of people.

4. It can be inferred from the passage that McCormick _______.

A. sold the equipment at a low price

B. was well-known in most countries

C. did not think he had committed the crime

D. had not got such huge profit as mentioned in the text

Everyone has got two personalities — the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real．You don’t show your secret personality when you're awake because you can control your behavior，but when you're asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course，people frequently change their position. The important position is the one that you go to sleep in．

If you go to sleep on your back, you’re a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by fashion or new ideas．You don’t like to upset people，so you never express your real feelings．You’re quite shy and you aren't very confident．

If you sleep on your stomach，you are a rather secretive person. You worry a lot and you're always easily upset. You’re very stubborn, but you aren't very ambitious. You usually live for today not for tomorrow. This means that you enjoy having a good time．

If you sleep curled up, you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and so you’re often defensive. You're shy and you don't normally like meeting people. You prefer to be on your own．You're easily hurt．

If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balanced personality. You know your strong points and weaknesses. You’re usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel anxious，but you don't often get depressed. You always say what you think even if it annoys people．

The spread of Western eating habits around the world is bad for human health and for the environment. Those findings come from a new report in the journal Nature.

David Tilman is a professor at the University of Minnesota. In the study, he examined information from 100 nations to show what people ate and how diet affected health. Mr. Tilman noted a movement beginning in the 1960s. He found that as nations industrialized(工业化), population increased and earnings rose. More people began to adopt what has been called the Western diet. The Western diet is high in sugar, fat, oil and meat. By eating these foods, people began to get fatter and sicker.

“The food, let us say, in the 15 richest nations of the world, right now contains about 400 or 500 extra calories(热量) a day that are eaten beyond what people need, and that leads people to gain weight.”

David Tillman says overweight people are at greater risk for diseases like diabetes, heart disease and some cancers. Diabetes is shooting to very high rates in the United States and across Europe. Heart disease is a major cause of death in the Western nations. Unfortunately when people become industrialized, if they adopt this Western diet, they are going to have these same health problems.

A diet bad for human beings, it seems, is also bad for the environment. As the world’s population grows, experts say more forests and areas will become farmland for crops or grasslands for raising cattle. These areas will be needed to meet the increasing demand for food.

Mr. Tilman calls the link between diet, the environment and human health, “a dilemma”, a situation where it is very difficult to decide what to do. He says one possible solution is leaving the Western diet behind.

1.Why did people get fatter in the 1960s?

A. They ate foods high in calories.

B. They adopted a western lifestyle.

C. They set aside little time for exercise.

D. They had a better life and became lazier.

2.According to the text, overweight people may suffer the following diseases EXCEPT_______.

A. diabetes B. skin disease

C. cancers D. heart disease

3.What can we infer from Paragraph 5?

A. There will be fewer and fewer forests.

B. People won’t care about the environment.

C. The world’s population will grow faster than ever.

D. Raising cattle will be the most moneymaking business.

4.What is the purpose of the author in writing this passage?

A. To tell people effective ways to keep healthy.

B. To call on people to give up the Western diet.

C. To show the problems industrialized nations are facing.

D. To draw people’s attention to environmental protection.

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，选项中有两项是多余的选项。

New rules and behaviour standards (行为规范) for middle school students came out in March. 1. The best students won't only have high marks. They will also be kids who don't dye (染) their hair, smoke or drink.

Here are some of the new rules.

Tell the truth. Have you ever copied someone else's work in an exam? 2. That's not something an honest student should do. If you have played computer games for two hours in your room, don't tell your parents you have done homework.

Do more at school. Good students love animals and care for other people. April is Bird-loving Month in our country. Is your school doing anything to celebrate? You should join in! 3. When more people work together, it makes it more fun for everyone.

4. Have you ever thought that people could live on the moon? Maybe you'll discover Earth II someday. Don't look down on new ideas. Everyone's ideas are important. You should welcome them, because new ideas make life better for everyone.

Use the Internet carefully. 5. But some things on the Internet aren't good for kids, so try to look at Web pages that are good for you. You can use the Web for fun or homework. If you can’t find any good websites for children, here are two: http://kids.eastday.com; http://www. chinakids.net.com

A. If so, don’t do it again!

B. You can do this online for a few hundred dollars.

C. That way, you can learn more about animals and how to protect them.

D. Be open to new ideas.

E. The Internet can be very useful for your studies.

F. Middle school is going to use a new way to decide who are the top students.

G. The Internet has its advantages and disadvantages.

The defeat of Lee Sedol, the world’s strongest Go (围棋) player, by a Google artificial intelligence (AI) program, looks like another milestone towards a world where computers can do almost anything a human can. It is not. There are uncountable things that only a human can do, and that no computer seems close to. The problem is that the purely human things are not economically useful to anyone. The things that computers can be taught to do are by contrast economically fantastic. But even the most powerful programs are not human, just as a shovel (铲车). They have no feelings. What they have is power, but this power is growing at a rate that should frighten us all.

It might be less frightening if computers were truly intelligent, but even the most powerful networks are less human than monstrous Martians (火星人). Their power will be used to make money for the firms that finance their development, and then for others quick and clever enough to take advantage of the new world. It is far more likely that they will increase inequality and still further remove the middle classes as we move towards an hourglass (以金钱来衡量的) society in which everyone is either very rich or very poor and likely indebted.

One of the ill effects of the spread of more intelligent computer networks is, at the same time, the spread of what might be called artificial stupidity. If AI is employed largely to replace unskilled labour, it is most productive when labour is kept unskilled or redefined that way. So much of the work in service industries is now simplified until it might be automated (自动化). And robots will never need pensions. AI is slowly reducing skilled work, like some forms of medical diagnosis (诊断), at the same time, as older doctors complain that the traditional human skills of diagnosis are falling out of medical training. The belief that everything worthwhile can be measured and then managed is far more damaging to humanity than the threat of artificial intelligence on its own.

But no victory in complicated Go games can bring us closer to truly human-like computers.

1.By mentioning the defeat of Lee Sedol, the author intends to tell us that ______.

A. computers can completely replace humans in everything

B. humans are of no practical economic values to the society

C. the power of computers is growing at a frightening rate

D. AI programs can not compare with humans economically

2. We can learn from Paragraph 2 that the power of computers will ______.

A. improve the quality of human life

B. promote equality at work places

C. make contributions to human development

D. widen the gap between the rich and the poor

3.What does “artificial stupidity” in Paragragh 3 mean?

A. Unskilled workers become stupid.

B. AI discourages skilled work.

C. Computers don’t need pensions.

D. AI is ruining medical training.

4. What is the author’s attitude towards the future of artificial intelligence?

A. Optimistic. B. Supportive. C. Sceptical. D. Cautious.
