  These days' experiences, like many other things, are becoming increasingly expensive. one has got to pay a lot to get them, even an ordinary one.

  Not long ago, I wanted to invite my friends to a lunch. What we really needed was a good and quiet place for a talk, not a big meal. So I chose one and told my friends to go there.

  After I ordered, I was asked whether I would eat a 100 yuan or 200 yuan lunch. I said, “200 yuan. ”I didn't realize until I was asked to pay after lunch that “200 yuan” means “200 yuan for each person”.

  There were five people that day, and all of us were surprised by the 200 yuan meal. The bill came at last: it was 1 2601 000 for the five of us, plus the money for drinks, fruits and air conditioning(空调). I paid the bill without a word.

  What could I say? It was not their fault (过失). It was my own fault that made me pay the largest bill in my life.

  However, it was not so bad: we had a goad lunch at a quiet place. Besides, the experience will help in later years.

  To support my idea, I have developed my own way of thinking about the price: 200 yuan for the lunch and 1 060 for the experience. This paid experience has made me ten times wiser.

1.According to the passage, each one here has to pay ________.

[  ]

A.more for a lunch in a restaurant

B.more to get an ordinary lunch

C.more for some experience

D.an increasingly high price

2.I thought I ordered a meal that would cost ________.

[  ]

A.me 100 yuan
B.me 200 yuan
C.us 200 yuan each
D.me 1260 yuan

3.This sentence “This paid experience has made me ten times wiser” expressed ________.

[  ]

A.my thanks to the restaurant

B.my happiness to be ten times wiser

C.my anger at the experience

D.my pleasure to have a good lunch

4.I paid the largest bill in my life because________.

[  ]

A.the restaurant was an extraordinarily good one

B.there was a misunderstanding between the restaurant and the customer

C.I was unknown to the restaurant

D.I knew little about the market prices

Many cancer patients are finding new hope in an unusual approach to cancer treatment. The common method has been developed by Carl Simonton, a specialist in the science of tumors.  1  can sometimes be "truly amazing," he says, when a cancer   2   lets his mind take part in the treatment.

Simonton remembers that his first patient might have been thought to be a "  3  ” case by some. "He was a sixty-one-year-old man with very severe throat cancer.  He had lost a great deal of weight. He could  4  swallow his own saliva and could eat no food.

"I taught him to  5   and mentally see his disease," Simonton says. "Then I had him  6   an army of white blood cells coming, attacking and  7  the cancer cells. The results of the treatment were both exciting and frightening. Within two weeks his cancer had noticeably become smaller and he was quickly gaining weight. I say it was '  8  ' because I had never seen such a change. I wasn't sure what was going on. I also didn't know what I would do if things went wrong. But  9  didn't go wrong.

"We may believe that we have the power in our own bodies to fight cancer as well as the power to   10   the disease in the first place.  With those patients who are willing to stay with us and try, we always find that the cancer has filled some emotional need."

1. A. Results        B. Researches       C. Records         D. Replies

A. specialist           B. author          C. patient           D. agent

A. hopeful            B. hopeless         C. valuable         D. worthless

A. easily             B. mostly           C. carefully        D. barely

A. worry              B. be nervous       C. relax              D. get angry

A. suppose            B. observe         C. pretend          D. picture

A. overcoming        B. managing        C. treating         D. threatening

A. frightening         B. interesting        C. amusing         D. relaxing

A. I                  B. we              C. they            D. it

A. carry            B. take            C. produce         D. find

After the September 11 terrorist attacks, some high schools in America wanted the students to pledge allegiance(宣誓效忠) to the flag. Is it necessary or not? Let’s see how the kids think of this requirement.
Lea Mouallem, Marymount High School
I believe that saying the Pledge of Allegiance is a way of reminding our country that no matter what happens, we are united. I don’t think our president wants us to go and join the army now, but he wants to tell us that we will be able to overcome the disaster as a whole nation that is working together.
Harry Chin, 15, Culver City High School
I am not for the Pledge of Allegiance and I am not against the Pledge of Allegiance because I just say it so many times that it loses meaning. I say it every day at school in the second period. It doesn’t mean anything any more.
David Tran, 15, Warren High School.
The Pledge of Allegiance is another sign of country. We should have some respect to it. In many schools, we don’t say the Pledge every morning-we just stand up and let the National anthem ring through the silence. We said the Pledge of Allegiance on Sept. 12.
Danny Maryanor, 16, Santa Monica High School
I wonder why we were suddenly asked to recite the Pledge when many of us stopped after elementary school; and the Pledge was recited before the play of “Ode to Joy” (欢乐颂)with recorders. This was not to express patriotism(爱国主义), or even to remember those who lost their lives on Sept. 11.
I feel I cannot support a nation that in this time of crisis looks outward for revenge(报复)instead of inward for peace. Perhaps we should think more about our problems.
68.Saying the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag first appeared in American schools______
A.after Sept. 11, 2000     B.before Sept. 11, 2001
C.on Sept. 11, 2001           D.after Sept. 11, 2001
69.Who were for the Pledge of Allegiance?
A.Lea Mouallem; David Tran        B.Harry Chin; Danny Maryanor
C.Lea Mouallem; Danny Maryanor    D.Harry Chin; David Tran
70.Which of the following is TRUE?
A.Harry Chin thought the government required them to join the army.
B.Lea Mouallem thought the Pledge of Allegiance of no meaning.
C.Danny Maryanor felt the terrorist attacks happened partly because of America’s own problem.
D.The Pledge of Allegiance is of another country.
71.According to the passage, it can be imagined that________.
A.all high school students say yes to the Pledge of Allegiance.
B.all high school students say no to the Pledge of Allegiance.
C.all kids don’t agree to the requirement of saying the Pledge of Allegiance.
D.all high schools will require their students to pledge allegiance to the flag.
