5．As is known to all，in the world，due to different histories and traditional customs and so on，different countries have different cultures，and different cultures have a different effect on different people's lives．It？s clear that culture is playing an important role in people，s life and constantly changing people，s lifestyles.71BWhen you think of American culture，what first comes to your mind？McDonald's？Coca Cola？Levi's？Disneyland？Michael Jordan？Julia Roberts？（72）GAs a matter of fact，these symbols
are only one small part of American culture------"pop culture"．What is pop culture？
Well，pop is short for popular．The origins of pop culture can often be traced to popular movies，television shows，music stars and sports figures．（73）DThe most common examples of American pop culture appear among high school and college students．Trends set by famous personalities quickly become part of young people's lifestyles．（74）COne major reason for its popularity is that English is a universal language．English is the language of diplomacy （外交），international business and transportation．Since language and culture go together，learning English means becoming aware of English-speaking cultures．（75）EThe kind of American culture communicated in those media is pop culture．Finally，pop culture is easy to package and to export．For that reason，it is easy to"sell"to the world．

   Anger is a motivating force．
   In fact anger itself is a kind of positive energy and a powerful motivating force．（72）GWhen we see something as beneficial，we want it more when we are angry．So，when used right，constructive anger can make us feel strong and powerful and help push us on to get what we want．（73）C It may sound like a strange thing to say，but angry people have something in common with happy people．That's because both tend to expect favorable results．By comparison those experiencing more fear are more pessimistic （悲观的） about the future and expect further terrors．
   Anger can benefit relationships．
   Society tells us anger is dangerous and we should hide it．The problem is that when we hide our anger，our partner doesn't know he's done something wrong．And so he keeps doing it（74）DThe expression of anger，if reasonable and aimed at finding a solution，can actually benefit and strengthen relationships．
   Anger provides self-understanding．

2．Joseph Banks was born in 1743，the only son of a wealthy land-owning family．From an early age，he was interested in natural history，and in particular，botany．In the early 1760's he chose to make this dream to the full．In 1766 he travelled to Newfoundland and Labrador to collect plants，animals and rocks．
For him，joining Captain Cook's 1768 expedition to Tahiti was like a present-day scientist being given the chance of a trip to another planet，a chance to study new plants in unknown lands．
They made collections and observations in South America，Tahiti and New Zealand before reaching Australia．His major landfalls on the eastern coast of Australia were at Botany Bay and at the Endeavor River．He thought collection of plants was grown so large that it was necessary that some extraordinary care should be taken of them in case they should destroy．The plant material collected and sorted on the voyage was huge，with the herbarium specimens（标本）about 1300 new species．
After returning from this voyage，Banks travelled to Scotland，Wales，Holland and Iceland，collecting more and more curiosities．Among many other activities，without thinking running out of his money，he controlled the Royal Botanic Gardens，Kew and was a Trustee of the British Museum．Although Linneaus'suggestion of naming the new country of Australia"Banksia"was not accepted，Banks'name was bestowed（赠送）upon Australian plants and he made his mark upon Australian history in other ways，later he became the well-known authority （公认的权威）on matters relating to New South Wales．He had a great impact on the study of natural history in both Britain and Australia．He died in 1820．

1．One day I heard two girls talking about making net friends in a café．One said that she （25）would meet/was going to meet （meet） one of her net friends and the other told her not to because most people found their net friends （26）disappointing （disappoint） in real life．
We all know it is quite common now that many teenagers，especially （27）those from one-child families，like to make net friends and spend lots of time chatting with them because they need someone to talk with and share their sorrow and happiness．However，is it wise for them to do so？
In my opinion，it is possible for you to find some real good friends with the help of new technology but you （28）have to/ought to take care．When you talk with someone unknown on the Internet，you have no idea at all what kind of person he is and （29）whether/if he is telling you the truth．Besides we can't deny that some bad guys mask themselves very well so that they can get many nice people （30）trapped （trap）．So，you're taking the risk of meeting your net friends （31）before/unless you get any idea about him．In a word，you can never be too careful when meeting your net friends．

4．Homework
Do arithmetic problems 15 through 25．State the different forms of the verbs on page 50of your French workbook．Read pages 12through 20of the Shakespeare play，and don't forget to fill in the missing chemical symbols on the worksheet．
Sound like a list of your homework for the next few nights-or maybe even just for tonight？（71）It's your teachers'way of evaluating how much you understand what's going on in class．And it helps strengthen important concepts．
（72）C It's inviting to start with the easy things to get them out of the way．However，you'll have the most energy and focus when you begin，so it's best to use this mental power on the subjects that are most challenging．Later，when you're more tired，you can focus on the simpler things．If you get stuck on a problem，try to figure it out as well as you can-but don't spend too much time on it because this can mess up your homework schedule for the rest of the night．（73）E But don't pick someone whom you'll be up all night chatting with，or you'll never get it done!
Most people's attention spans aren't very long，so take some breaks while doing your homework．Sitting for too long without relaxing will make you less productive than if you stop every so often．Taking a 15-minute break every hour is a good idea for most people．（74）D
Once your homework is done，you can check over it if you have extra time．Be sure to put it safely away in your backpack-there's nothing worse than having a completed assignment that you can't find the next morning or that gets ruined by a careless brother or sister．（75）F Now you're free to hang out．

A．Homework is a major part of going to school．
B．Luckily，you can do a few things to do less homework．
C．When you start your homework，deal with the hardest tasks first．
D．But if you're really concentrating，wait until it's a good time to stop．
E．If you need to，ask an adult for help or call or email a classmate for advice．
F．And no teacher still believes that"chewed by the dog"line-even when it's true!
G．In conclusion，no one is expected to stay long，and people have very different learning styles．

•Use Flashcards
Flashcards are a tried and true method of aiding memory．Rather than buying premade vocabulary flashcards，make your own with index cards （索引卡）．（39）C Besides，when you make your own flashcards，you can personalize them according to your needs by drawing a picture on one side or writing the word in a sentence to help yourself remember the context．

Every year，millions of job hunters make great efforts to land a job they want．However，many of them fail，partly due to their lack of common knowledge in dealing with job interviews．Here are some of the principles that they should bear in mind when attending a job interview．
（61）D
While most employers know and understand that employees have their life business outside of work，they do not want to hear about them or see evidence of these getting in the way of work．Therefore，when attending a job interview，try not to mention the family difficulty or trouble that you are facing right now，and focus on all the things that you are capable of doing in your future work．
（62）A
Before going to attend an interview，search for some information about the employees of that company：What kind of work are they mostly doing？What kind of working clothes are preferred in their working conditions？Are there any specific requirements or taboos for the clothes？Prepare well and dress yourself properly in order to be considered professional at the first meeting．
（63）F
One of the biggest mistakes many job seekers make is ruining an otherwise successful interview by not actually asking for the job．It might seem unnecessary．After all，the job seeker would not have applied if he or she did not want the job．However，by asking for the job in the interview，the job seeker is sending a strong message to the employer that he or she is interested in the job and is enthusiastic about the opportunity．By saying"my main goal is to be working for you"，you are actually demonstrating the type of interest and enthusiasm that any employer would like to hear form a candidate．
（64）B
When asked about your former work experience，keep your comments about your former boss or colleagues very positive．Even if your former working conditions were really bad or that you didn't get on well with your boss or colleagues，you are still supposed not to bite behind their backs．Otherwise，the interviewers may have the feeling that you will gossip or speak ill of them once they become your employers．
（65）E
In a real world interview，the personal connection established with the interviewer （i．e．，does he or she like you） could be the key factor in determining your employment fate．In an interview，this personal connection is often established within the first five minutes of the interview，and while a positive connection will not necessarily result in a job offer，a negative connection will almost always result in rejection．The lack of likability was a major reason behind the firing of many interviewees who were not able to make a positive impression on their interviewers．
