Last winter, my classmates and I went to London to attending a winter camp. To better understand the history and culture of a city, we scheduled a ¡°museum trip¡±. In Saturday morning we got up early and studied the map carefully to work out the route. One of my classmates suggested go there by bus to enjoy the street view. It was a long ride, so that we got off the double-decker bus, we seemed to lose way. The streets looked busy and strangely, and we have had to ask a passer-by for help. She pointed out the right direction and wished us a good day. Thanks to the friendly woman, we finally got to our destination. It took us some effort, however we witnessed the real beauty of the city. The experience also abled us to practise our English. What a terrific experience!

When her five daughters were young, Helene An always told them that there was strength in unity (ÍŽá). To show this, she held up one chopstick, representing one person. Then she easily broke it into two pieces. Next, she tied several chopsticks together, representing a family. She showed the girls it was hard to break the tied chopsticks. This lesson about family unity stayed with the daughters as they grew up.

Helene An and her family own a large restaurant business in California. However, when Helene and her husband Danny left their home in Vietnam in 1975, they didn't have much money. They moved their family to San Francisco. There they joined Danny's mother, Diana, who owned a small Italian sandwich shop. Soon afterwards, Helene and Diana changed the sandwich shop into a small Vietnamese restaurant. The five daughters helped in the restaurant when they were young. However, Helene did not want her daughters to always work in the family business because she thought it was too hard.

Eventually the girls all graduated from college and went away to work for themselves, but one by one, the daughters returned to work in the family business. They opened new restaurants in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Even though family members sometimes disagreed with each other, they worked together to make the business successful. Daughter Elisabeth explains, "Our mother taught us that to succeed we must have unity, and to have unity we must have peace. Without the strength of the family, there is no business."

Their expanding business became a large corporation in 1996, with three generations of Ans working together. Now the Ans' corporation makes more than $20 million each year. Although they began with a small restaurant, they had big dreams, and they worked together. Now they are a big success.

I was always blamed for watching too much cartoons. As I have said goodbye to my teenage, I shift to watching more movies to prove that I was a grown-up. Surprisingly, I found that movies have something in common with cartoons. They are unrealistic.

Sometimes movies give people hope, including the hope of justice, the hope of tomorrow and almost everything else. A great number of people were once touched by certain movies. From time to time, movies try to deliver some decisive ideas to the audience. In this way, movies do cheer up many people to go on with their lives.

It seems that there is a set formula in movies. We usually see the hero or heroine in the movies suffer a lot in the opening. Gradually and likely, the destination of them always comes to a turning point. So they have to struggle or make some important choices. Then the movie ends up with a happy finale. Or at least the hero finally manages to face his poor life with great courage somehow. However, when audience watch movies in the cinema, most of them just follow the story. Few of them may ask, ¡°Will it happen in the real life£¿¡±

Movies are also imitating the real life. Thus a movie, just like a novel, can never be the same as the real life. The setting of a movie is so ideal that we could hardly find it out in reality. The moviemakers just try their best to persuade the audience to believe the story is true. In a word, it is all just make-believe.

For quite a long time, I think that the adults¡¯ world is realistic in the opposite way of the children¡¯s cartoon. However, the movies from the adult world turn out to be a made-up thing. At the very moment, I suddenly realize that movies are somewhat of the adult¡¯s fairy tales or cartoons.

To sum up, other than false comfort such as movies and tales, we are more in need of the maturity of mind, so that we can face our lives bravely and correctly.

1.With time going on, the author shifts to watching more movies because he thinks that_____.

A£®they give him hope of justice and tomorrow in life

B£®they are for adult and that he is now an adult

C£®they help him forget the real world

D£®they are similar to cartoons he used to watch

2.Which of the following is true about the type of movies the author mentions?

A£®The hero or heroine simply has met no difficulty at all.

B£®The hero or heroine is able to deal successfully with any problems.

C£®Sometimes there are cartoon characters in the movies.

D£®The audience know they are simply foolish stories.

3.The underlined word ¡°make-believe¡± in Paragraph 4 probably means_____.

A£®something imagined to be real

B£®something too ideal to believe

C£®a happy ending all the audience desire

D£®a belief that is based on facts

4.According to the author, which of the following is the side effect of the movies?

A£®People may be confused by them.

B£®Movies can usually improve real life.

C£®Film fans just follow the movie stories.

D£®False comfort may mislead the audience.

Robots make me nervous¡ªespecially the ones which seem to think for themselves. I was embarrassed to admit this till I heard that Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft, felt the same way.

Gates said in an interview with the social networking and news website Reddit: ¡°I am in the camp that is concerned about super intelligence. First the machines will do a lot of jobs for us and not be super intelligent£®That should be positive if we manage well. A few decades after that though the intelligence is strong enough to be a concern.¡±

Well, maybe I don¡¯t have to worry about my computer and kitchen equipment yet. After I use them I can always pull the plug. But in the future, machines might find a way to prevent us from switching them off. There¡¯s a terrible thought!

Maybe the problem with computers too clever for us is not that they are evil like some we¡¯ve seen in sci-fi movies. What could put us in danger is that they might be too efficient. That¡¯s what philosopher Nick Bostrom from Oxford University believes. He says that machines are indifferent (ĮȻ) to humans and in pursuit of their own goals£¬the destruction of people might be just additional damage. Bostrom gives us an example: A machine which might have as its only goal to produce as many paperclips as possible might look at human bodies as extra material for paperclips and go after you. Because it is, well, a machine, it would not take pity on you.

It¡¯s a good thing that American writer Isaac Asimov thought about how far robots can go and left us his three rules of robotics. They state that a robot may not hurt a human being or allow the human being to come to harm.

I¡¯m glad my machines at home are ¡°dumb¡±. All my cleaner wants to take over is the carpet in my living room. Let¡¯s hope they don¡¯t create an appliance which wants to take over the world!

1.The author quoted Bill Gates¡¯ words in Paragraph 2 in order to make the text ________.

A. better-knownB. more persuasive

C. better-organizedD. more interesting

2.An intelligent paperclip machine would harm us because ________.

A. it is much cleverer than us

B. it would take over the world

C. it would see us just as material

D. it has the strong feeling of destroying us

3.How does the author feel about Isaac Asimov¡¯s rules of robotics?

A. OptimisticB. SympathyC. DisappointedD. Regretful

4.What does the text mainly focus on?

A. The benefits of future robots.

B. The new applications of robots.

C. The concern for super intelligence.

D. The popularity of robots in the future.

I am 26. I¡¯m clear that I¡¯m never going to catch up with Mother Teresa. But I want to do something to help people every single day like her.

Everybody thinks we just serve food and soda. The safety training is serious and stressful. Caring for 49 people in a business class in 90 minutes is not easy. I had a roommate who was a waitress; she just left a candle and a table cloth burning, and I used a fire extinguisher to put out the fire. If something goes bad at her job, she calls the police. But if something happens up in the air, it¡¯s up to us.

I¡¯m single and have no kids. I¡¯ve flown every Christmas since 1995. If I fly, someone else can be with their kids. Christmas in an airport can be depressing, but it¡¯s the little things that make a difference.

We¡¯re not robots. It¡¯s hard to put on a smile and just pretend everything is great when it isn¡¯t. I¡¯ve seen co-workers lose a family member the day before a trip and just pull themselves together (take control of their feelings and behave in a calm way). At the end of a 14-hour flight, it¡¯s like, ¡°It was really nice to help

you, but I¡¯m ready for you to get off the plane.¡± Those last 15 minutes can be the longest 15 minutes of your life. You can¡¯t wait to turn off the flight attendant¡¯s voice and get something to eat without anyone saying ¡°Excuse me.¡±

Sometimes I go all day and never hear a ¡°please¡± or a ¡°thank you¡± when you say ¡°thank you¡±, it¡¯s huge. It makes us feel like you actually see us as fellow humans. We¡¯re up there together at a height of 30,000 feet, enjoying the miracle of the modern flight.

1.What¡¯s the author¡¯s attitude towards Mother Teresa?

A. Grateful.B. Fearful.C. Admiring.D. Doubtful.

2.How did the author like her roommate¡¯s job?

A. It was the same as hers.

B. It was more interesting than hers.

C. It was easier than hers.

D. It was more serious than hers.

3.Why does the author fly every Christmas?

A. Because she has nowhere to go.

B. Because she¡¯s trying to be a helpful co-worker.

C. Because she owes her co-workers some favors.

D. Because she¡¯d like to earn more money.

4.What does the author imply by saying the underlined sentence ¡°We¡¯re not robots¡±?

A. Flight attendants are not stronger than robots.

B. Flight attendants also experience emotions.

C. Flight attendants get tired while robots don¡¯t.

D. Flight attendants need to rest now and then.

Different Cultures

The cultures of the East and the West really distinguish each other a lot. 1.

The origin of the eastern cultures is mainly from two countries: China and India. Both of the two cultures are developed by rivers-the Yellow River in China and the Hindu River in India. 2.

When the two mother rivers gave birth to the Eastern culture, another famous culture was brought up on the Mesopotamian Plain-the Mesopotamian Civilization. This civilization later on developed into the cultures of Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. 3.Like the Chinese culture, the European culture also crossed waters. When the British settled down in America, their culture went with them over, the Atlantic Ocean. So the American culture doesn't distinguish from the European culture a lot¡£

4. Take the language system for example. In the East, most languages belong to the pictographic language while the Western languages are mostly based on the Latin system Other causes like human race difference counts as well. But what's more. due to the far distance and the steep .areas between the East and West, the two cultures seldom communicate until recent centuries. So they grew up totally in their own ways with almost no-interference£¨¸ÉÈÅ£© from the other.

The differences are everywhere. 5.But different cultures make the world of 21st century more colorful. The cultural gap should not be the obstacle (ÕÏ°­) to the civilization of human being. It ought to be the motivation of our going farther.

A. Let us work together to keep a variety of culture.

B. One important thing is to learn about other cultures.

C. And these two are well-known as the base of the European culture.

D. At the same time, some other differences add to the cultural differences.

E. This is because the culture systems are two separate systems on the whole.

F. They helped the two cultures develop for centuries and form their own styles.

G. They are obvious and affect people's ways of thinking and their views of the world.

The Healthy Habits Survey shows that only about one third of American seniors have correct habits. Here are some findings and expert advice.

1. How many times did you brush your teeth yesterday?

¡ñ Finding: A full 33% of seniors brush their teeth only once a day.

¡ñ Step: Remove the 300 types of bacteria in your mouth each morning with a battery-operated toothbrush. Brush gently for 2 minutes at least twice a day.

¡ñ Finding: Seniors, on average, bathe fewer than 3 days a week. And nearly 30% wash their hands only 4 times a day---half of the number doctors recommend.

¡ñ Step: We touch our faces around 3,000 times a day-often inviting germs£¨²¡¾ú£©to enter our mouth, nose, and eyes. Use toilet paper to avoid touching the door handle. And, most important, wash your hands often with hot running water and soap for 20 seconds.

3. How often do you think about fighting germs(²¡¾ú)?

¡ñ Finding: Seniors are not fighting germs as well as they should.

¡ñ Step: Be aware of germs. Do you know it is not your toilet but your kitchen sponge (º£Ãà) that can carry more germs than anything else? To kill these germs, keep your sponge in the microwave for 10 seconds.
