Dear Mr. Hu．

I sat with my friend in a well-known coffee shop in a neighboring town of Venice. As we enjoyed our coffee, a man called the waiter and placed his order, “Two cups of coffee, one on the wall.” We got interested and observed that he was served with one cup of coffee but he paid for two. As soon as he left, the waiter attached a piece of paper to the wall saying “A Cup of Coffee.” Similar occasions took place twice while we were there. It seemed that this gesture was quite normal at this place. However, it was something unique and confusing for us.

After a few days, when we again enjoyed coffee there, a man entered. The way this man was dressed did not match the standard or the atmosphere of this coffee shop. Poverty was evident from his looks. As he seated himself, he looked at the wall and said, “One cup of coffee from the wall.” The waiter served coffee to this man with respect and dignity. The man had his coffee and left without paying. We were amazed to watch all this when the waiter took off a piece of paper from the wall and threw it in the dustbin.

Now it was no surprise for us; the matter was very clear. The great respect for the needy shown by people in this town moved us to tears.

Coffee is not a necessity. However, the point is that when we take pleasure in any blessing, maybe we also need to think about those people who also appreciate that specific blessing but cannot afford.

Note the waiter, who gets the communication going between the affording and the needy with a smile on his face. Think about the man in need: he enters the coffee shop without having to lower his self-dignity; he has a free cup of coffee without asking or knowing about who has given this cup of coffee to him; he only looked at the wall, placed an order for himself, enjoyed his coffee and left. Besides, we need to remember the role played by the wall that reflects the generosity and care of people in this town.

1.What made the author interested as well as confused?

A. The waiter’s making normal gestures.

B. Customers’ buying coffee for the needy.

C. The waiter’s attaching coffee orders on the wall.

D. Customers’ paying for coffee and having it put on the wall.

2.The author thought the man in need was ______.

A. obviously poor

B. not properly dressed

C. not right to leave without paying

D. strange to order coffee from the wall

3. In the author’s opinion, coffee is _____.

A. necessary in our life

B. a blessing some can’t afford

C. respect shown for the needy

D. a blessing everyone should have

4.The passage is mainly concerned about ______.

A. learning from the waiter

B. buying coffee for others

C. caring more about the people in need

D. analyzing the characters in the coffee shop

The Winter Olympic Games are a major international sporting event that occurs once every four years. Unlike the Summer Olympics, the Winter Olympics feature sports practiced on snow and ice. The first Winter Olympics, the 1924 Winter Olympics, was held in Chamonix, France. The Games were held every four years from 1924 until 1936, after which they were interrupted by World War II. The Olympics resumed in 1948 and was again held every four years. Until 1992, the Winter and Summer Olympic Games were held in the same year.

The Winter Games have evolved since its beginning. Sports and disciplines have been added and some of them, such as short track speed skating, freestyle skiing, have earned a permanent spot on the Olympic program. Others have been discontinued and later reintroduced. Still others, such as speed skiing, bandy and skijoring, were demonstration sports but never incorporated(合并)as Olympic sports. The rise of television as a global medium for communication enhanced the impression of the Games. It created an income stream, via the sale of broadcast rights and advertising.This allowed outside interests, such as television companies and corporate sponsors.

Beijing has become the first city to host both Summer and Winter Olympic Games after beating Kazakhstan’s Almaty to hold the 2022 Winter Olympics. With a fully-prepared final presentation by an all-star team, Beijing has successfully convinced the committee members that the 2008 Olympics host city is a more favored candidate for the Winter Games. Beijing was the safe choice because it had already proved it could stage the Games and said it would take winter sports into the backyard of the world’s most populated country.

1. Why were the Winter Olympic Games not held for 12 years ?

A. Because of the economic crisis

B. Because of culture difference

C. Because of the Second World War

D. Because of countries’ lack of interest

2. Which of the following is a sports event of the Winter Games ?

A. Speed skiing B. Freestyle skiing

C. Bandy D. Skijoring

3. What does the underlined word “ enhanced” in paragraph two mean?

A. Improved B. Reduced C. Paused D. Balanced

4. Beijing won the right to host the 2022 Winter Olympic Games mainly due to______.

A. its rich experience

B. its large population

C. its safety

D. its ability to stage the Games

My house is made out of wood, glass and stone. It is also made out of software.

If you come to visit, you'll probably be surprised when you come in. Someone will give you an electronic PIN (个人身份号码) to wear. This PIN tells the house who and where you are. The house uses this information to give you what you need. When it's dark outside, the PIN turns on the lights nearest to you, and then turns them off as you walk away from them. Music moves with you too. If the house knows your favorite music, it plays it. The music seems to be everywhere, but in fact other people in the house hear different music or no music. If you get a telephone call, only the nearest telephone rings.

Of course, you are also able to tell the house if you want something. There is a home control console(控制台), a small machine that turns things on and off around you.

The PIN and the console are new ideas, but they are in fact like many things we have today. If you want to go to a movie, you need a ticket. If I give you my car keys, you can use my car. The car works for you because you have the keys. My house works for you because you wear the PIN or hold the console.

I believe that ten years from now, most new homes will have the systems that I've put in my house. The systems will probably be even bigger and better than the ones I've put in today.

I like to try new ideas. I know that some of my ideas will work better than others. But I hope that one day I will stop thinking of these systems as new, and ask myself instead, "How will I live without them?"

1. What does the passage mainly discuss?

A. How to develop a new system.

B. The function of the PIN.

C. A home for the future.

D. Easy life in the future.

2.What can’t be done in the writer’s new house according to the passage?

A. Turning on the lights. B. Going swimming.

C. Getting a telephone call. D. Playing music.

3. The writer's new house is different from ordinary ones mainly because _______.

A. it has your favorite music following you

B. you can make a telephone call anywhere

C. the writer is able to change his new idea into practice

D. it has been controlled by computers

4.What is the writer most likely to be according to the passage?

A. An IT expert B. A famous doctor

C. An idealist D. An experienced teacher

When people reunite with their loved ones, it’s usually all extremely happy moment. But what is their most common response to seeing them again? It may seem strange，but most of the time they break down in tears.

Now a group of psychologists from Yale University say they have found the reason why, and that crying tears of joy may well be the body’s way of keeping emotional balance. “They seem to take place when people are overtaken by strong positive emotions, and people who do this seem to recover better from those strong emotions,” Oriana Aragon, the lead researcher said.

Aragon and her fellow psychologists looked at hundreds of participants’ emotional responses to different things, including happy reunions and cute babies. Many participants said they would react in a negative or aggressive way to the positive things —— to cry at happy moments and want to pinch(捏)a cute baby’s face or even tell them “I want to eat you up!” But then researchers found that these people were able to calm down from strong emotions more quickly.

There are many other examples of times when people respond to a positive experience with a negative emotional reaction. At an exciting concert, fans scream at their idols(偶像). People who have just had a big lottery win are often in floods of tears. “These findings advance our understanding of how people express and control their emotions, which is importantly related to mental and physical health, the quality of relationships with others, and even how well people work together.” said Aragon．

1.What have professors from Yale University found in their research?

A. The reason why people cry with tears.

B. Crying tears of joy helps to balance emotions.

C. Strong negative feelings are useful to people.

D. People recover slowly from strong emotions.

2.Which of the following agrees with the findings of the research?

A. Crying at good news.

B. Crying at a failure.

C. Kissing a cute baby.

D. Laughing at happy reunions.

3.Where does the passage most likely come from?

A. A science fiction novel.

D. An adolescent literature book.
