Dear Diana,

Thank you for the lovely day we have with you. It was so kind for you to let us

bring Anne¡¯s friend, Gina. Unfortunate, the only problem was the journey home. There

had been a terrible accident on the highway and, for a result, there was a long line of traffic for at least six mile. In the end, we drove to a service station and waited there unless the road was clear. In the car park here Gina nearly got knocked over as car drove out far too quickly from behind a lorry. They finally dropped Gina off at her parents¡¯ and made our own way to home.

¡¾ÌâÄ¿¡¿ More than half a century ago, there were 4, 000 drive-in movie theaters in the United States, and watching a movie from your car was a popular way to spend an evening. But with the number of drive-ins reduced to just a few hundred, outdoor movie has been popping up across the nation. Going to an open-air theater has become a modern summer pastime for an increasing number of movie fans.

In recent years, outdoor movie screenings have come up in parks, vacant lots and shopping malls around the nation. On average, about 1,000 people attend each movie night. It attracts a lot of young professionals, young workers and residents nearby. For some, the outdoor movies bring back the memories of the drive-in theaters of their youths. But for the majorities, they think it is comparable to the atmosphere of drive-ins, as they can bring friends, food, good wine, and watch the movie together.

The returning of Americans¡¯ love affair with outdoor movies makes Stephen Bastas ever busier. His seven-member crew sets up screens in various locations mostly in the Washington area every day throughout the summer. They are doing pretty well and they hope to continue the trend. And it looks like they are going to. That¡¯s because many fans say there is nothing like watching a movie on a breezy summer evening under the stars.

¡¾ÌâÄ¿¡¿Most people who move to a foreign country or culture may experience a period of time when they feel very homesick and have a lot of stress .This feeling is often called¡®culture shock¡¯ . ¡¾1¡¿ There are four general stages of cultural adjustment.

The first stage is usually referred to as the excitement stage. Upon arriving in a new environment, you¡¯ll be interested in the new culture, everything will seem exciting, everyone will seem friendly and helpful and you¡¯ll be overwhelmed(²»ÖªËù´ë) with impressions. ¡¾2¡¿ and you have little meaningful experience of the culture.

The second stage is sometimes called the withdrawal stage. The excitement you felt before changes to frustration (¾ÚÉ¥)as you find it difficult to deal with the problems that arise. simple things like shopping and going to the bank are challenges. It is at this stage that you are likely to feel anxious homesick. ¡¾3¡¿ .

Culture shock doesn¡¯t exist long. You gradually get into the¡®recovery¡¯ stage. At this point, you¡¯ll have a routine, and you¡¯ll feel less lonely as you start to understand and accept the way things are done and the way people behave in your new environment. Customs and traditions are clearer and easier to understand. ¡¾4¡¿

The last stage is the ¡®home¡¯ stage ¨C this is the point when people start to feel at home in the new culture.

There is a fifth stage to this process. If you decide to return home after a long period in a new culture, you may experience what is called ¡®reverse culture shock¡¯. ¡¾5¡¿ you may notice things about your home culture that you had never noticed before, and some of the ways people do things may seem strange.

A. It is a great challenge to learn the totally new culture.

B. This is the stage which is referred to as ¡°culture shock¡±

C. During this stage you are taking in these impressions passively

D. Some people experience ¡°culture shock¡± more sharply than others.

E. This means that you may find aspects of your own culture ¡°foreign¡±

F. At this stage ,you¡¯ll deal with new challenges with humor rather than anxiety.

G. It¡¯s important to learn how to deal with it if you¡¯re to adapt to the new culture.

¡¾ÌâÄ¿¡¿How can a creature weighing over 5 tons and normally taking 150 kilograms of food and 120 liters of water per day survive in a desert environment?

In the southwest African country of Namibia, and the Sahara lands of Mali further north, the desert elephant does just that.

Although not regarded as a separate species from the African elephant, the desert cousin differs in many ways. Their bodies are smaller, to absorb less heat, and their feet are larger for easier walking across sandy surfaces. They are taller, to reach higher branches. They have shorter tusks (ÏóÑÀ), and most importantly, longer trunks to dig for water in riverbeds.

Desert elephants can travel over 70 kilometers in search for feeding grounds and waterholes, and have a larger group of families. They drink only every 3-4 days, and can store water in a ¡°bag¡± at the back of their throat, which is only used when badly needed. Desert elephants are careful feeders---they seldom root up trees and break fewer branches, and thus maintain what little food sources are available. Young elephants may even eat the dung (·à±ã) of the female leader of a group when facing food shortage. During drought they are unlikely to give birth to their young but with good rains the birthrate will increase greatly. Desert elephants have sand baths, sometimes adding their own urine (ÄòÒº) to make them muddy!

As we continue to overheat our weak planet, it can only be hoped that other animal species will adapt as extraordinarily well to change as the desert elephant.

¡¾1¡¿The underlined part in Paragraph 2 means ¡°_____¡±.

A. remains in the African countries

B. drinks 120 liters of water a day

C. manages to live in desert areas

D. eats 150 kilograms of food daily

¡¾2¡¿Desert elephants are called careful feeders because they _____.

A. rarely ruin trees

B. drink only every 3-4 days

C. search for food in large groups

D. protect food sources for their young

¡¾3¡¿The author answers the question raised in the first paragraph with _____.

A. stories and explanation

B. facts and descriptions

C. examples and conclusion

D. evidence and argument

¡¾4¡¿What can be inferred from the last sentence in the passage?

A. Overheating the earth can be stopped.

B. Not all animal species are so adaptable.

C. The planet will become hotter and hotter.

D. Not all animals are as smart as desert elephants.

¡¾ÌâÄ¿¡¿ÔĶÁÀí½â

More students than ever before are taking a gap-year (¼ä¸ôÄê) before going to university. It used to be called the ¡°year off¡± between school and university. The gap-year phenomenon originated with the months left over to Oxbridge applicants between entrance exams in November and the start of the next academic year.

This year, 25,310 students who have accepted places in higher education institutions have put off their entry until next year, according to statistics on university entrance provided by University and College Admissions Service (UCAS).

That is a record 14.7% increase in the number of students taking a gap year. Tony Higgins from UCAS said that the statistics are good news for everyone in higher education. ¡°Students who take a well-planned year out are more likely to be satisfied with, and complete, their chosen course. Students who take a gap year are often more mature and responsible,¡± he said.

But not everyone is happy. Owain James, the president of the National Union of Students(NUS), argued that the increase is evidence of student hardship ¨Cyoung people are being forced into earning money before finishing their

education. ¡°New students are now aware that they are likely to leave university with up to ¡ê15,000 in debt. It is not surprising that more and more students are taking a gap year to earn money to support their study for the degree. NUS statistics show that over 40% of students are forced to work during term time and the figure increases to 90% during vacation periods,¡± he said.

¡¾1¡¿What do we learn about the gap year from the text?

A. It is flexible in length.

B. It is a time for relaxation.

C. It is increasingly popular.

D. It is required by universities.

¡¾2¡¿According to Tony Higgins, students taking a gap year_________.

A. arc better prepared for college studies

B. know a lot more about their future jobs

C. are more likely to leave university in debt

D. have a better chance to enter top universities

¡¾3¡¿What would most students do on their vacation according to NUS statistics?

A. Attend additional courses.

B. Make plans for the new term.

C. Earn money for their education.

D. Prepare for their graduate studies.

¡¾ÌâÄ¿¡¿How to Make Friends

Friendship is a very important human relationship and everyone needs good friends. Good friendship has many benefits. It offers companionship, improves self-worth and promotes good health. There are times in our lives such as when we have recently moved into a new town, or changed our jobs or schools. Such changes often leaves us without a friend. Making new friends comes easy for some people. But for many of us the process is difficult and requires courage. Below are some helpful suggestions on how to make and keep friends.

Associate with others.
