My partner and I were staying in Beruwela on the Southwest coast of Sri Lanka when the tsunami(海啸) hit. We   1  from the first floor of our hotel. At that time, a wall of water swept in and tore the ground floor apart underneath us.   2  to be moved out to Colombo was very frightening because everyone was afraid that another and possibly bigger   3  would come. At one stage we heard that another wave was coming and there was   4 . Surprisingly, a fleet of small vehicles driven by local people arrived outside the hotel and we just 5  a minibus.
We were taken up a hill to a place of   6  where we were welcomed by a family who told us that we could stay as   7  as we needed to. Among all this death and   8 , these people were trying to help us! We were shown to the local Mosque where hundreds of locals were cooking, collecting and distributing food and supplies for those less   9 . In the three days we were waiting to leave, we saw many examples of ordinary Sri Lankans, many of whom had lost friends,   10  and livelihoods（生计，谋生方式）, trying to help others who were worse off. It was a very moving experience.
We have since been   11  the family who took us in and they are saying that what their country needs most urgently is practical help, doctors, nurses and medicines, helping to   12   roads and rebuilding electricity and water supplies. These people would have done anything to help us, it is time for the British Government to do more to help them.

Should e-cigarettes (electronic cigarettes) be a new choice for the smokers trying to get rid of the habit? Reactions from Americans are mixed. More than half of the people questioned in a survey think e-cigarettes should be controlled by the US Food and Drug Administration, but 47 percent believe the e-cigarettes should be available to the smokers who want to quit.
“In the hunt for a safter cigarette, e-cigarettes are becoming a popular choice among those either trying to quit.”or looking to replace standard tobacco smoke with an alternative that manufacturers claim to be safer, ”Zogby International, which conducted the survey, said in a statement.
About half of the 4,611 adults who took part in the survey had heard about e-cigarettes, which are battery-powered, or rechargeable cigarettes that vaporize a liquid nicotine solution. They do not produce smoke but a water vapor without smell. Sold mostly on the Internet, e-cigarettes were first made in China.
Last year the World Health Organization (WHO) warned against using e-cigarettes, saying there was no evidence to prove they were safe or helped smokers break the habit. The WHO said people who smoke e-cigarettes breathe in a fine fog of nicotine into the lungs.
Nearly a third of people questioned in the survey think that e-cigarettes should be allowed in places where smoking is forbidden, because they don’t produce smoke, but 46 percent disagree. Men who were aware of the availability of e-cigarettes were more likely than woman to say they should be a choice available to smokers who want to quit. Young people, aged 18-29, and singles were the groups most open to trying e-cigarettes. Smoking is the single largest cause of preventable death worldwide, according to the WHO.
小题1:What can we learn from Paragraph 1?

A．American smokers ought to try e-cigarettes.

B．Americans have different opinions about e-cigarettes.

C．Every kind of cigarettes should be forbidden in America.

D．Most of the Americans don’t like e-cigarettes.

小题2:According to Zogby International, e-cigarettes .

A．are much safer than common cigarettes

C．will take the place of traditional cigarettes

D．are produced in a safer way by manufacturers

小题3:What do we know about e-cigarettes from the passage?

A．Most Americans are familiar with them.

B．They are a good choice as there is no nicotine.

C．They produce a water vapor that can’t be seen.

D．Most people buy them on the Internet.

小题4:What’s the attitude of the WHO towards e-cigarettes?

Twenty-first century humanity has mapped oceans and mountains, visited the moon, and surveyed the planets. But for all the progress, people __1  don’t know one another very well.
That brings about Theodore Zeldin’s “ 2  of conversation” — events   3  individuals sit in pairs with persons they don’ t know for three hours of 4  talk designed to help people know better about each other.
Mr. Zeldin heads Oxford Muse, a l0-year-old foundation based on the _5  that what people need is not more information, but more inspiration and encouragement.
The “feast” in London looks 6 at politics or events, but at how people have felt about work, relations among the sexes, hopes 7   fears, enemies and authority, the shape of their lives. The “menu of _8 ” includes topics like “How have your concerns changed   9 the years?” Or, “What have you done against the past?”
As participants gathered, Zeldin opened with a speech: that despite _10  communications like QQ and MSN in a globalized age, issues of human heart   11 . Many people are lonely, or occupied in dealing with their daily businesses that discourage knowing the _ 12 _ of one another. “We are trapped in _ 13 _ conversations and the whole point now is to think, which is sometimes painful,”he says. “But   14 _ interaction is what separates us from other species, __15  maybe dogs that do have interactions with humans.”
The main rules of the “feast”: Don’t   16 _ with someone you know or ask questions you would not answer. The only awkward moment came when the multi-racial crowd of people of different ages, in sun hats, ties and   __17_, looked to see   18  they would talk with for hours.   19  15 minutes later, everyone was seated and talking, continuing full force until organizers interrupted them 180 minutes later.
Some said they felt free to talk on   20   topics. Thirty-something Peter, from East London, said that “it might take weeks or months to get to the level of interaction we suddenly opened up.”

The Healing
Jim and his wife, Connie, were shocked by the loss of their four-month-old son—Joshua, whose life was taken by SIDS—sudden infant death syndrome.
Thirty hours ago Jim drove to the baby-sitter’s home to 1  Joshua. It was a 2 trip, like the one he made five days every week. He arrived, and little Joshua could not be   3   from his nap. The next few hours were a time of life and death: the racing ambulance, swift-moving doctors and nurses….but 12 hours later, at children’s Hospital,   4 the doctors had exhausted all 5 , little Joshua was gone. Yes, they wanted   6  of Joshua’s usable organs to be donated. That was not a   7  decision for Jim and Connie, a loving and   8  couple.
The next morning dawned and many things had to be arranged. Telephone calls and funeral plans.   9  one point Jim realized he needed a 10 .When Jim settled into the chair   11   the barber’s, he began to   12   the past hours, trying to   13  some sense of it all.   14 had Joshua, their first-born, the child they had waited so long for, been taken so soon….he had   15  begun his life….The question kept coming, and the pain in Jim’s heart just   16  him.
While talking with the barber, Jim mentioned the organ donations, looking at his watch: “They are transplanting one of his heart valves(瓣膜) right now.”
The 17 stopped and stood motionless. Finally she spoke, but it was only a whisper. “You’re not going to believe this….but about an hour ago the customer sitting in this chair wanted me to hurry   18  she could get to Children’s Hospital. She 19  here so full of joy….her prayers had been answered. Today her baby granddaughter is receiving a 20 needed transplant—a heart valve.”
Jim’s healing began.

Becoming a fireman is a challenging and competitive job today. A fireman’s main duty is being scheduled according to the fighting and extinguishment(熄灭) of fire which definitely requires being a strong man, both mentally and physically.
The duty of a fireman involves protection of life and property of the public. They are the servicemen who are decisively selected by an organization to deal with situations like fire. The duty of a fireman intentionally consists of helping innocent people in their time of need. Such type of jobs is one of those few jobs where service is provided for people when they need help immediately. This may include rescuing people from a building at fire, providing them with medical facilities, extinguishing fire in a house or in a large commercial building. Serving people is the main intention of these professionals. The satisfaction which a fireman gets from this type of job cannot be compared to any other profession in the world.
Such profession demands top-level commitment and professionalism from .those who have chosen it as a career. Fireman should possess the highest level of courage and patience to put their lives in danger for the sake of others. They undergo lessons of maintaining patience for long hours and go through complete preparation to become successful and well-organized professional firemen. There are certain tests that are recommended before becoming a fireman.
It’s not that easy to become a fireman nowadays. A fireman is supposed to deal with unexpected situations, and they should be skilled at communicating with others and be self-disciplined at the same time.
In order to be a good fireman, one must undergo（经历、接受） strict local fire department’s training program after passing all the tests. All the fire departments conclude a two-to-four-month course, including classroom training and practical training that cover firefighting techniques, fire avoidance, dangerous materials and urgent situation medical actions. Completing this training, trainees go through the department’s trial period of service that can last from three to six months, depending on the methods of selection.
Firemen usually work both indoors and outdoors. They have to be on duty at all times and mostly work in shifts of at least 8 hours. They are also provided with several benefits which include medical aid plan, pension fund, annual leave and many more.
