World Book Day falls on April 23 every year.It was set up by the United Nations Educational,Scientific, and Cultural Organization(UNESCO) in 1995 to encourage people, especially teenagers, to discover the pleasure of reading.It is also the day to honor great writers,for example,William Shakespeare,born or dead on that day.

Many countries celebrate World Book Day.Take UK as an example.On that day,millions of school children can buy books of special price,a much lower price than usual,in any bookstore.It has been done every year since 1998.World Book Day is also celebrated in China. Our Former Premier Wen Jiabao, a bookworm, who does lots of reading every day, has called on people to do more reading. He suggested that young people should spend more time reading."Books cannot change the world, but people can change the world by changing themselves through reading,” he said.

Why do people like reading? One big advantage is that reading helps us become more knowledgeable and more intelligent. Also, reading helps us to follow the latest developments of science and technology. Besides, reading gives us information about other cultures and places of the world. When we read, we may find many things that are unfamiliar to us. We would have to use our brain to think about them or do more reading to find out the answers. The more we read, the more we know. What’s more, reading is also one of the most important ways to learn a foreign language like English.

"Reading makes a full man" (Bacon,1597). Books,magazines,newspapers and other kinds of materials can help us to know more about the outside world and perfect us. So it is necessary for us to spend time on reading every day.

Life's greatest joys and its greatest sorrows often come from the relationships we have developed with others.

In our world today,it seems that most people struggle for happiness through pleasant physical surroundings and economic security.These are great,but if there is conflict in human relations,these things do not bring happiness. Think about the last time you were having an argument or a disagreement with one of your co-workers,your boss, your friend,or a family member.Was it easy or difficult to focus on your priorities(优秀考虑的事)?Even though you might have been having some success m many areas of your life,did you find yourself still feeling some discomfort due to the stress in that particular relationship?On the contrary,you may know people who are happy in great poverty and with physical stress if they have meaningful,pleasant relations with people around them.

Consider the most relationship that you have ever had with any individual(个人).To some degree it probably is or was marked by absolute honesty,deep levels of trust,respect for that person's skills,knowledge,or abilities,open communication,acceptance of differing views,and little concern for images(形象).

In effort to make the relationships we currently have the best that they can be,remember that persuasion usually cannot take place unless there is some sort of close,meaningful connection between the two people involved.The result will be a relationship of respect and progression.

Many of us have difficulty in accepting the faults and weaknesses of others; co-workers,work leaders,family members,or members of our social or religious groups.Our tendency to demand perfection of others can cause us to lose sight that we,ourselves,are less than perfect.Undoubtedly,there are differences among us.Some of us are even cruel and unpleasant.Others may have cultural differences that are blocks that affect us.But learning to look for the similarities instead of those things that set us apart,bearing differences,and seeing the best in others rather than the worst will lead to relationships of deep respect and lasting value.

6.An Australian company,Smart Car Technologies,has developed a system that lets drivers know when they're speeding.When the technology becomes commercially available,it could help leadfooted drivers avoid tickets and also save lives.The company that developed the product hopes to convince Australian government agencies to put the technology into use in their automobile fleets.
The product,called Speed Alert,links realtime location data and speed obtained with the help of GPS to a database of posted speed limits stored in a driver's PDA or programmable mobile phone.The setup of the product does not need to be hooked up to a car's speedometer(速度表).In fact,it is entirely portable.It will also work with newer phones and PDAs that have builtin GPS receivers.If a driver exceeds the speed limit,the speed is shown and an alert sounds.
Michael Paine,an Australian vehicle design engineer and traffic safety consultant,was hired to analyze the product.He told Live Science that his colleagues in the road safety field are"very enthusiastic"about what they're now calling"intelligent speed alert".Other research,according to Paine,shows that 40percent of all traffic deaths involve speeding.There is also a potentially controversial future use:"Since the system is so portable,it would be easy to make it a requirement for teenage drivers to always use a speed alert device when driving,"Paine said."The system even has the capability to record speeding violations,so parents can monitor their teenage drivers."The product will soon go on sale in Sydney.
25.What's the purpose of the new product?C
A.To inform us of the new car system.
B.To introduce some improvement in cars.
C.To limit certain drivers to safe driving.
D.To popularize the builtin car system.
26.The second paragraph mainly talks aboutD.
A.the project of the builtin product
B.why the system becomes popular
C.the functions of GPS in cars
D.how the product is programmed
27.What can be the best title of the passage?D
A.Speed Alert and Its Future Use
B.Progress in Carmaking Science
C.Warning for Adventurous Drivers
D.New InCar Device Against Speeding.
