19.A MENTORING(导师制)program is giving life changing opportunities to Banbury youth.
Young Inspirations was founded two years ago to provide mentoring sessions for students and unemployed young adults aged 11 to 21.
Alex Goldberg,the program's founder,said:"We set up Young Inspirations because we wanted to give young people experiences which will potentially be life changing and broaden their outlook.
"We try to create work experience opportunities that will really make a difference to our youth.For example,we've secured internships(实习)with world-famous firms such as Honda.
"At a time of funding cutbacks where schools are finding it more and more difficult to offer this kind of mentoring,it is extremely important that these opportunities are available both to help youth with their school work and grades and to give them opportunities which may help shape their futures."Kieran Hepburn,14,is one of a group of Banbury youth who has benefited from the program so far.In October the Banbury School pupil was accompanied by Young Inspirations staff to Paris where he was an observer at the United Nations Educational,Scientific and Cultural Organization's (UNESCO) International Youth Forum (论坛).
The event was held for young people from around the world,to seek their views on how the future of youth and education should look.Kieran joined several hundred observers mostly in their 20s and was the only UK school pupil to attend the event.Kieran thinks the trip was a fife changing experience."Before we left I didn't quite know what to make of it but when we got there we didn't stop;it was amazing,"he said,"We went to three or four hours of debates each day and then did something cultural each afternoon."
The main theme of the forum was how youth can drive change in political and public life.It dealt with issues(问题)such as drug abuse,violence and unemployment.
Kieran said:"It has really helped me to improve my confidence and social skills as well as my school grades and I was voted most improved pupil at school in August."
The Young Inspirations mentoring sessions take place each Friday in Banbury.For details visit www.youngins pirations.com.

14.Beginning college is exciting:new ideas to explore,new challenges to be met and many decisions to be made;your future begins here.
However,you will find college life is different from your previous school environment.Many of us can be easily defeated by the details of running a well-balanced life.While some of us may have the know-how,I guess there are more of us who can benefit from learning about the experiences of others who have walked the college halls before you.
The following you may find useful about life on campus:
•Plan well.There are so many new things to do at a new college or university.Give yourself time to make new friends and became familiar with the campus,but don't forget why you are there.Give some time for social activities and manage your time wisely.
•If you don't have a"system"for planning your time now (like a day timer,a potable data book),get one.Most of all,don't depend on your memory.
•Don't miss the guidelines.The restrictions,rules and regulations of all kinds can usually be found in your student's handbook.Consider them well-balanced food for thought.What dates are important?What pieces of paper need to be handed in?What can/can't you do in your student residence (住处)?Who has the right for what?What do you need to complete to graduate?
•Write the word"STUDY"on the walls of your bedroom and bathroom,and maybe it will help to write it on a piece of paper and stick it on the telephone,TV and the kitchen table.Consider this-you are paying thousands of dollars for your course.You pay every time you have to repeat or replace a course.
•Build your identity.This is the time for you to decide what to do and what not to do.Take as much time as you need to explore new ideas.Do not be afraid of the beyond.This is learning to make good choices.

29.What is the main purpose of the passage?D
A.To explain why college life is exciting.
B.To persuade you to go to college.
C.To describe the importance of college life.
D.To offer advice on college life.
30.According to the passage,why is it exciting to begin college life?D
A.Because you will learn a lot of knowledge.
B.Because you will no longer be afraid of challenges.
C.Because you will make important decisions.
D.Because you get yourself prepared for your future career and life there.
31.The underlined word"know-how"refers toC.
A.an understanding of college regulations.
B.a brand-new environment.
C.practical knowledge concerning college life.

11.The pace of today's working life blurs (使模糊) the line between personal time and work time,and it increasingly mixes one's personal lifestyle and work style.And as companies are trying hard to attract and keep young people for their technical skills and enthusiasm for change,office culture is becoming an extension of youth culture.This may be no bad thing.For most of human history the middle-aged have ruled,but in the future,they will have to share power with fresh-faced youths.
There have been a number of reasons for this change and the most dramatic of these is technology.Children have always been more expert than their parents at something,but usually a game or a fashion,not the century's most important business tool.The Internet has started the first industrial revolution in history to be led by the young.Though there have been youth revolutions before,none of them made a big change the way the Internet has.Throughout the 20th century,if a young person wanted to enter an American company,they needed to leave their youth behind.They got a haircut,and probably a suit or at least a tie.Now the same hair,same clothes,even nearly the same hours apply to office and home.
Had it not been for the Internet,this change could not have happened.However,it did not happen because of the Internet only; the corporate restructurings (公司重组) of the 1980s and 1990s broke down traditional hierarchies (等级制度).In many companies,seniority-based (基于资历的) hierarchies have been replaced by hierarchies based on performance.The abilities to please your superiors are no longer the most valued skills.Today's employees stay with companies only as long as they feel challenged and rewarded; moving from job to job is now a sign of ambition.
The rise of the young is a good thing,because it gives them more opportunity to put their ideas and energy into practice at their most creative stage in life.Nowadays youth and youth qualities seem to dominate,but the experience and maturity of older employees should be put to good use,too.

32.A company tries to attract young people for theirD.
A.office culture 
B.modern lifestyle
C.changing attitude 
D.technical abilities
33.In the 20th century,to enter an American company,a young person needed toC.
A.work in the office and at home 
B.have an eye-catching hairstyle
C.dress in the business style 
D.leave the business tool behind
34.Why is the rise of the young a good thing?C
A.They become more energetic in life.
B.They have taken over the companies.
C.Their creativity can be put to good use.
D.Their ideas appeal to a great many people.
35.What can be inferred from the passage?B
A.Young people will lead in fashion.
B.Young people will have more power.
C.Older people will step off the historical stage.
D.Older people will continue to be the main force.
18.There is a fine line between a parent who is active and open-minded and one that doesn't know when to let go.As my daughter,Nicole,prepares to leave home for college,I'm discovering how hard it is to stay on the(36)Bside of this line.When I hold(37)Athe apron strings (围裙带)connecting us,Nicole,eager to (38)Cindependence,tries to loosen my grasp.What results is a (an) (39)A mother-daughter,push-me,pull-you kind of tango(探戈舞).

8.Restaurants in Miami BeachSteve's Pizza
So many pizza chains compete for the attention of tourists in South Beach,but ask a Miami Beach local where to get the best pizza and they'll tell you about Steve's.This is New York style pizza,handmade with care and good ingredients(成分).New branches of Steve's Pizza are opening elsewhere in Miami,all in non-tourist areas.
Opening hours:11a.m.-10a.m.
Cattleman's Steakhouse
This place is 20 miles east of the city,but local folks would probably drive 200 miles to eat here.The food is good,and the scenery is even better.Come early and wander around the grounds of Indian Cliffs Ranch,where you'll see everything from rabbits to buffalo (水牛),then catch the sunset either before or after your meal.

15.No one can deny that buttons are an important device.Whenever we see a button,we are eager to press it because we know something will happen.This is true in most cases,for example on a doorbell and on the"on/off"button on the TV.But some buttons are actually fake,like the"close"button on a lift.
Many people are in the habit of pressing the"close"button because they don't have the patience to wait for the lift doors to shut.But lifts'"close"buttons are a complete scam (骗局),at least in the US-the doors will not close any faster no matter how hard you press.
It started in the 1990s when the Americans with Disabilities Act was passed in the US,making sure that all lifts stayed open long enough so that people with disabilities could enter.Only US firefighters and repairmen can use the buttons to speed up the door-closing process if they have a code or special keys.
But to normal lift riders,the buttons aren't completely useless.According to psychologists,fake buttons can actually make you feel better by offering you a sense of control.
"Perceived (能够感知的) control is very important.It reduces stress and increases well-being,"Ellen J.Langer,a psychology professor,said,"having a lack of control is associated with depression."
Experts have revealed that a lot of buttons that don't do anything exist in our lives for this same purpose.For example,many offices in the US have fake thermostats (温度调节器) because people tend to feel better when they think they can control the temperature in their workspace.
But psychologists found it interesting that even when people are aware of these little"white lies",they still continue to push fake buttons because as long as the doors eventually close,it is considered to be worth the effort.
"That habit is here to stay,"John Kounios,a psychology professor,said."Even though I have real doubts about the traffic light buttons,I always press them.After all,I've got nothing else to do while waiting.So why not press the button in the hope that this one will work?"

25.What was the author's main purpose in writing the article?D
A.To explore people's different habits when it comes to pushing buttons.
B.To describe some different kinds of fake buttons.
C.To explain the advantages and disadvantages of fake buttons.
D.To analyze the functions of fake buttons.
26.In America,the"close"buttons on liftsA.
A.are fake for the convenience of disabled people
B.work only when people press them hard for a while
C.were specially designed to give people a sense of control
D.cannot speed up the process of closing the door in any case
27.The underlined part"for this same purpose"in Paragraph 6 refers toB.
A.making people more patient              
B.giving people perceived control
C.helping people to build up confidence      
D.making people with depression feel better
28.According to John Kounios,people who press fake buttonsC.
A.should give up this habit
B.consider what they do to be meaningless
C.probably do so to kill time
D.don't know that what they press is fake.

13.Food festivals around the world
Stilton Cheese Rolling
May Day is a traditional day for celebrations,but the 2,000 English villagers of Stilton must be the only people in the world who include these rolling in their annual plans.Teams of four,dressed in a variety of strange and funny clothes,roll a complete cheese along a 50-metre course.On the way,they must not kick or throw their cheese,or go into their competitors'lane(赛道).Competition is fierce and the chief prize is a complete Stilton cheese weighing about four kilos (disappointingly,but understandably the cheeses used in the race are wooden ones).All the
competitors arc served with beer or port wine,the traditional accompaniment for Stilton cheese.
Fiery Foods Festival-The Hottest Festival on Earth
Every year more than 10,000 people head for the city of Albuquerque,New Mexico.They come from as far away as Australia,the Caribbean and China,but they all share a common addiction-food that is not just spicy,but hot enough to make your mouth burn,your head spin and your eyes water.Their destination is the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival which is held over a period of three clays every March.You might like to try a chocolate-covered habanero pepper-officially the hottest pepper in the world-or any one of the thousands of products that are on show.But one thing's for sure-if you don't like the feeling of a burning tongue,this festival isn't for you!
La Tomatina-The World's Biggest Food Fight
On the last Wednesday of every August,the Spanish town of Bunol hosts Ea Tomatina-the world's largest food fight.A week-long celebration leads up to an exciting tomato battle as the highlight of the week's events.The early morning sees the arrival of large trucks with tomatoes-official fight-starters get things going by casting tomatoes at the crowd.
The battle lasts little more than half an hour,in which time around 50,000 kilograms of tomatoes have been thrown at anyone or anything that moves,runs,or fights back.Then everyone heads down to the river to make friends again-and for a much-needed wash!
