     There are only 12 shopping days until Christmas, and the British public is going present-shopping crazy.
But some parents might have left it too late to buy the present their child really wants for Christmas.
     Every year there seems to be a certain craze which sweeps across Britain, whether through clever
marketing or peer pressure (同龄人压力), so that practically every child in the country wants the same thing
for Christmas.
     Of course, with thousands of parents trying to make their child's Christmas, it's quite easy for the most
popular presents to get sold out before everyone can buy one. This leads to parents going to extraordinary
lengths to find the desired gift.
     In past years, the most favoured toys have included Tracy Island, from the "Thunderbirds" TV series, and
Buzz Lightyear, from the "Toy Story" film. This years must-have present is the Nintendo Wii, an indication
that British children are becoming more and more technologically savvy (有见识的).
     Other presents which are expected to top Christmas wish-lists this year are several toys related to TV
programmes, such as popular science-fiction series "Doctor Who", and pre-school sense "In the Night Garden",
as well as the main character from the "Transformers" movie.
     As parents desperately (拼命地) search shops and online retailers (零售商) for the gifts their children want,
some people are cashing in. Those who predicted the trends bought some of the top presents earlier in the year,
and can now sell them for great profits online.
     Special stock-check websites have been set up to warn parents as soon as a certain item becomes available
anywhere. But with so many people signed up it'll still be a race against time to buy the toys before they sell out
again.
     Some children will inevitably (不可避免地) be disappointed on Christmas morning, but let's hope that the
chocolates, Christmas dinner and the many other presents will make up for it.

1. What's the best title of the passage?

[ ]

A. Must-have Toys
B. How to Do Shopping Before Christmas
C. What Presents Suit Your Children
D. A Good Time to Earn Money

2. From the writer's opinion,almost all the children in Britain need _____.

[ ]

A. different gifts according to their own interest
B. the same thing because of some influences such as TV, or films
C. Tracy Island or Buzz Lightyear
D. presents liked by their parents

3. What's the underlined phrase "crashing in" in the sixth paragraph mean?

[ ]

A. Come in quickly.
B. Get to buy presents.
C. Change presents into money.
D. Hurry to make money.

4. Why some children will be disappointed?

[ ]

A. Because the presents they want have been sold out before their parents can buy them.
B. Because the presents are too expensive to buy.
C. Because their parents won't meet their needs.
D. Because their love for the presents will change soon.

The National Outline for Medium and Long Term Education Reform and Development (2010 - 20) was released over the weekend. Here are some of the highlights:
Four – percent effort
The government says spending on education will be 4 percent of GDP by 2012. globally, average spending on education is about 4.5% of GDP. China spend 3,33% in 2008. according to Hu Angang, of Tsinghua University’s Center for China Studies, even if China reaches that goal, it will only rank about 100 th out of 188 countries.
Administrative rank
Administrative rankings for school leaders are to be phased out to tackle the bureaucracy (官僚机构) problem that limits educational development, according to Cheng Fangping, of the national Institute for Educational Research. Areas like teaching programs, scientific research, and technological development will be more independent.
Vocational Education
The system will be free of charge. According to Wu Yan, of Beijing Institute of Educational Sciences, this will be key to developing China’s production capacity and will improve poor people’s lives dramatically.
Entering college
Universities could eventually have the freedom to choose some of their own high school applicants. Normally, students are accepted based on the uniform national exam scores. Also, students who agree to go to a remote area could be admitted to university under special circumstances. The most likely change could come on the college entrance English test, which might be modeled on the IELTS or TOEFL. Students will be able to take it several times and pick their best score.

A．Applicants could take the IELTS or TOEFL instead of the college entrance English test.

Being interested in a theme park since the time that I was a child, I have learned a thing or two over the years about packing for a day of fun. A trip to a theme park is always a adventure, but if you’re not prepared, your day of fun could easily turn into a tiny little nightmare(噩梦). It is important to pack long sleeved(带袖的) shirts or jackets for all members of your family. I is also a good idea to pack an extra pair of socks for each member of the family, especially the children, as those wonderful water rides can be fun, but wet socks that won’t dry aren’t so much fun.

You don’t want to pack too much food, as you will probably want to experience at least some of the food offered at the theme park of your choice(that’s half of the fun), but it’s always a good idea to bring some energy increasing snacks, such as fruit,trail mix,etc. This can mean the difference between spending a lot of money on snacks or a little money on one or two good meals.

Theme parks,while fun and exciting, can wear a person out,especially a child, so it’s important to keep hydrated(含水的). I would suggest packing one bottle of water per person, and possibly a couple of cans of soda or bottles of juice as well.

It’s a good idea to have at least two cell phones or even a set of “walkie-talkies” in the event that your family gets,separated in the park. It’s a good idea to give one of these things to the children and one to the parents and make sure that each of them knows how to use it. This could be the difference between trouble and a happy ending,

1.You should get well prepared before going to a theme park__________.

A. because the trip always costs much money

B.because there are always too many people in a theme park.

C. so as not to suffer from bad dreams when going back

D.so as to cut down your trip expenses and have more fun

2.From the passage, we can know_______________.

A.the author was fond of visiting theme parks when he was a child

B.wearing wet socks in a theme park will bring children much fun

C.it is terrible to have a taste of the food offered in a theme park.

D. we’d better bring enough food, clothing and water when going to a theme park

3.What does th underlined part”walkie-talkies” in the last paragraph probably refer to?

A. A kind of transportation tool B.A kind of musical instrument

C.A kind of CDplayer D.A kind of phone

4.How many types of things does the author advise us to pack for day trips to a theme park?

A Three B.Five C.Six D. Eight

      Advertising is a form of communication that uses all kinds of media, and is visible
everywhere these days. Typical customers of advertising companies are other companies,
or businessmen, who want to persuade potential customers to buy more of what they
make or sell. But there are other kinds of customers. Some organizations spend large
sums of money on advertising a political party or other group that sells what is not, strictly
speaking, a product or service. Such non - profit organizations are not typical advertising
customers, and they prefer ways of spreading knowledge, changing attitudes, and
improving society.
     Many advertisements are designed to increase sales of products and services by either
improving brand image or, in the case of non - profit organizations, expressing ideas. In
order to achieve th~s, advertisements will often pass on truthful information while delivering
their messages. Every major medium is a means of delivering these messages, including
television, radio, cinema, magazines, newspapers, video games, the Internet and billboards
(大幅广告牌). Advertising will usually be created and. placed by an advertising agency
on behalf of company or other organization.
     Spending on advertising has increased greatly in recent years. In 2006, spending was
estimated at $155 billion in the United States and $385 billion worldwide; the latter is
expected to reach more than $500 billion by 2010.
     While advertising can be seen as a necessity for economic growth and social
development, it is not without social costs. Advertisement emails and other forms of junk
mail have become so popular that ~they have become a major burden to users of I
nternet email services, as well as a financial burden on Internet email service providers.

Title: 1. _______
2. ______	●For- profit organizations, such as other companies and businessmen ●3. _____ organizations including 4. ____ parties and other interest groups
