 Have you ever pressed the "send" button and immediately wished you could get your email back? For American high school boy Scotty Thomas,it's the biggest mistake of his life. And the result of this thoughtless act makes up the story of the new movie Eurotrip.

  Scotty and his Berlinbased email pen pal Mieke have been writing each other for years,sharing every detail of their lives. But when Mieke suggests coining to the US to meet him face-to-face,Scotty rudely turns him down. What he didn't realize is that,in Germany,Mieke is in fact a girl's name.

  By the time Scotty figures out that Mieke is actually a hot high school girl,she has cut off all contact with him. Thinking that this might be his one chance at true love,he sets out on a trip across Europe to Berlin,helped by his best friends,Cooper and the twins Jenny and Jamie.

  Their journey takes them from London to Paris,Amsterdam,through Eastern Europe and on to Rome before finally arriving in Berlin. From London's Big Ben to the Eiffel Tower in Paris and Rome's Coliseum,the teenagers enjoy a jokefilled adventure.

  The cultures they find are certainly a world away from the ones they read about in their textbooks. In Eastern Europe,they manage to enjoy a fivestar hotel and a night of dancing with just US $1. 87—and have 27 cents left over.

  As Scotty Thomas,Scott Mechlowicz is in his first ever leading role. But he manages to express his character's simpleminded,but daring and charming nature in a believable way.

  "This movie presents the final days of childhood and the beginning of that next big adventure into freedom," said Hollywood movie critic Michael Rechtshaffen. Eurotrip ranked No. 6 at the North American box office early this month.

 Baseball is America's national sport. So it is not unusual that many popular expressions come from baseball. But first,let me explain a little about the game.

Each baseball team has nine players. The pitcher of one team throws the ball to a batter from the other team. The batter attempts to hit the ball. If he misses,it is called a strike. If a batter gets three strikes,he loses his turn at bat and is called out. The batter also is out if he hits the ball in the air and an opposing player catches it. But if the batter hits the ball and it is not caught,the batter tries to run to one or more of the four bases on the field. The batter can run to all four bases if he hits the ball over the fence or out of the ballpark. Such a hit is called a homerun.

  Now,here are some common expressions from baseball. Someone who is "on the ball" is intelligent and able to do a good job. But a person who " threw a curve ball" did something unexpected. Someone who " steps up to the plate" is ready to do his or her job. A "pinch hitter" takes the place of someone else at a job or activity.

  Sometimes I have to give information quickly,without time to think it over. Then I would say something "right off the bat". If someone is doing an extremely good job and is very successful,you might say he or she is " batting one thousand".

  If I say I want to "touch base" with you,I will talk to you from time to time about something we plan to do. I might say I "touched all the bases" if I did what is necessary to complete a job or activity. And if I " covered my bases" I was well prepared. However,someone who is "way off base" did something wrong or maybe even dishonest or immoral. A person with strange ideas might be described as "out in left field".

  Finally,when a situation changes completely,we say "that is a whole new ballgame".

(   ) 1. The text is written mainly         .

   A. to tell baseball is America's national sport

   B. to explain the rules of a sport game

   C. to introduce some useful expressions from sports

   D. to show the connection between expressions and sports

(   ) 2. The passage is the script of a program for         .

   A. sports in America   B. words and their stories

   C. the way to study English   D. the history of idioms

(   ) 3. What does the underlined sentence "The batter also is out" mean?

   A. The batter comes out from his position.

   B. The batter will not continue the game.

   C. The match will be over suddenly.

   D. The batter will change his position.

(   ) 4. Which of the following expressions can show the meaning that someone is ready to something?

   A. Right off the bat.

   B. Throw a curve ball.

   C. Cover his bases.

   D. That is a whole new ballgame.

  Ridgewood is a small,quiet town 20 miles from Manhattan. It is a typical suburban town,perfect for raising children away from the fast pace of the city. However,some Ridgewood kids feel as upset as if they were on the city's busy streets. In addition to hours of homework,Ridgewood's children are occupied with afterschool activities―from swimming to piano to religious classes.

  Out of desperation one day,the town decided to schedule another activity. This one was called " Ridgewood Family Night―Ready,Set,Relax!" Instead of schedules filled with sports,music,or overtime at the office,some of the town's 25,000 residents decided to take the night off and stay home. For a few months before Family Night,a committee of volunteers worked hard to spread the word. Younger students took "Save the Date for Me" leaflets home to their parents. The mayor issued a statement,and schools and clubs agreed to cancel homework and meetings so families could relax and be together.

  The tension between a hope for a more relaxed lifestyle and the knowledge that the standard for success has been raised in recent years weighs heavily on the minds of the townspeople. Some parents like to recall a different kind of childhood,one without so many scheduled afterschool activities. However,these same parents feel obliged to make sure their children are prepared to survive in today's highpressure work environment. They are afraid that any gap in their children's physical or intellectual development might mean they won't be admitted to the "right" universities and won't succeed in a more and more competitive world.

  Nevertheless,it seems that Family Night worked,at least to a point. Cars moved easily around Ridgewood's normally busy downtown streets,and stores and restaurants saw a drop in business. Some families ate supper together for the first time in months.

  Initially,there was great hope of taking back their lives. But sadly,few families believe that one night will change their lives. Many are sure that they will fall back into the habit of overscheduling their children to be overachieving adults.

(   ) 5. The writer describes Ridgewood as a town where         .

   A. residents take little notice of education

   B. children are stressful and overexpected

   C. parents are concerned about children's safety

   D. children lead a life of relaxed,ordinary rhythm

(   ) 6. According to the passage,which of the following is NOT true about the Family Night?

   A. Schools assigned no homework.

   B. Fewer people ate in the restaurants.

   C. The streets were less crowded.

   D. People enjoyed meeting each other.

(   ) 7. According to the passage,the parents in Ridgewood         .

   A. have conflicting desires about what experiences to offer their children

   B. are happy with the lifestyle they have chosen for themselves and the children

   C. believe that it is their duty to make a change for the stressful life style

   D. are worried about their children's lacking of big ambition

(   ) 8. We may get the conclusion from the passage that         .

   A. the concept of Family Night will become a regular part of life in Ridgewood

   B. Ridgewood people believe the Family Night will change their way of living

   C. Family Night is not as popular as people have originally thought

   D. schools are worried about students being given too much free time

 My ears are recently full of joyous remarks from my friends such as, "Oh,Beckham is so handsome,so cool,that I can't help falling in love with him!" or "What perfect skills he has！”

  Yeah,I 1       to some degree,though I sometimes do want to 2        them how much they know about Beckham,apart from his 3        and how much they know about football apart from 4        goals. It seems funny that we are 5        for things,with which we are unfamiliar or about which we are 6       ,but we all,my friends as well as I,consider this one of life's 7       .

  We need these pleasures to 8        our lives. But that doesn't 9        to craziness or nonsense. As an old saying goes: "Don't judge a book by its cover."We should not judge anything from its 10       . We should all know,it is one's good 11        and great contribution that make one a star and unforgettable. Therefore we'd better say 12        about Beckham's good looks.

  If we close our eyes,falling in deep 13       ,we can find that the things that move us to be really happy or sad have a 14 meaning. If we don't go deeper and are just satisfied with 15        things,sooner or later we will find that we have not really gained anything because our first 16        has blinded and misled us,and we will remain ignorant (无知的) 17       we realize that and make some changes.

  It is believed that thinking and going deeper than before is 18        of great progress. If one day we are willing to go deeper into everything,no matter how much it 19        us,we will finally prove how much we have 20        up,how much more sensible,mature,and intelligent we have become.
