     The person behind you constantly kicks the back of your seat. Your talkative seatmate doesn't
understand your need for sleep. And the aircraft's bathroom is a total mess, These situations can make
even a short flight unbearable . Hopefully you don't cause these unpleasant experiences for others.  1  .
Always recline(向后倾斜) your seat slowly. There's nothing worse than suddenly being hit in the knees
by the seat in front of you. In addition, don't keep your seat reclined for the entire flight. Always keep it
upright during mealtimes. And remember to put it in the upright position before going to the restroom (or
anytime you leave your seat. )
        2  Wait until the meal is done and all the food trays(盘子) have been collected . It's hard for
passengers to stand up to let you pass when they still have their food trays. And when using the bathroom ,always clean up after yourself-the next user will be grateful !
Keep your body-and your possessions-to yourself as much as possible so as not to crowd your in-flight
seatmate(s) . Share the armrest , especially on a long flight . Also, be careful not to kick or push on the
seat in front of you.
While some people enjoy chatting with other passengers during a flight, not everyone does. Some people may want to nap ,read or work.  3  
If you are traveling with someone and want to chat, keep your voices low,   4   People can still hear
through your headphones if the volume is too high.
When exiting the plane, if others are having trouble with their carry-on luggage . help them if you can. If
you can't help ,wait patiently, and don't push past people to get off the airplane. On your flight , remember
the golden rule:   5  .
A. Don't leave your carry-on in the aircraft．
B. If the conversation seems one-sided , you should notice it．
C. Treat others the way you want to be treated!
D. Avoid going to the bathroom during mealtimes．

     This year 1 the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic. Like some American 2 in the 2008
financial crisis, the ship was thought to be "too big to 3 ". But the banks failed and the Titanic failed..
.spectacularly! After hitting an iceberg, it plunged to the bottom of the 4 Ocean. In less than three hours,
the "unsinkable" ship was just a wreck and over1,500 people were dead.
     Most of us know the story of the Titanic from watching the James Cameron film. It's now been released
in a 3D version and new audiences can see the tragic event  5  and be moved by the love story of the two
main characters, Jack and Rose. But Titanic is   6 a love story; it's the story of   7 ordinary people react
when faced with   8  circumstances.
     In 1852, the HMS Birkenhead foundered on rocks near the coast of South Africa. The British ship
was carrying soldiers, and also many women and children. There weren't enough 9 for everyone so the
order was given, "women and children first."  10 the women and children were being saved, the soldiers
stood at attention on deck and,   11  , went down with the ship. They faced their death with bravery and 
  12 .
     The  13  , "women and children first," became the standard on all British ships and it's exactly what
happened on the Titanic. The ship's crew and many passengers realized that they would not be saved,  14  
they did not panic. They helped others or 15 calmly for the icy death they knew was inevitable. In the movie, we see the ship's musicians playing to help  16  the passengers. We see the ship's officers keeping order as
the lifeboats are loaded. And we see British gentlemen "keeping their heads" as all about them are losing
theirs.
     No one knows how they will react in the face of a disaster. It all 17 one's character. Remarkably, most
people behave well. We have seen this in America's 911, in the 2008 Sichuan   18  and in Japan last
year.    19  such as the Titanic will happen, but the character of good people is   20  .

     Most shops in Britain open at 9:00am, and close at 5:00 or 5:30 in the evening. Small shops usually
close for an hour at lunchtime. On one or two days a week-usually Thursday and/or Friday-some large
food shops stay open until about 8:00 pm for late night shopping.
     Many shops are closed in the afternoon on one day a week. The day is usually Wednesday or
Thursday and it is a different day in different towns.
     Nearly all shops are closed on Sundays. Newspaper shops are open in the morning, and sell sweets
and cigarettes as well. But not all the things can be sold on Sundays.
     Usually it is not difficult for foreign visitors to find where to buy things. Most shops sell the things that
you want to buy. One problem is stamps. In Britain you can only buy these at post offices. Many large
food shops are self-service. When you go into one of these shops, you take a basket and you put the
things you wish to buy into this. You pay for everything just before you leave. If anyone tries to take things from a shop without paying, they are almost certain to be caught, because most shops have detectives.
     When you are waiting to be served in a shop, it is important not try to be served before people who
arrive before you. Many foreign people are surprised at the British way of queuing (排队).

     Competition. It's a simple word, yet a very complex word that covers many angles when it comes to
how gasoline prices are determined. It seems so easy to explain, but don't let that trick you-it's incredibly
difficult to explain and adequately understand.
     Say you're on a Sunday afternoon drive, and notice a gas station near you charging $3.50. Down the
road a few miles, that price could easily be 10 or more cents higher or lower. The question is "how" or
"why" is that? Think of it this way. Are you more likely to get a better deal on a car if there are two similar car dealers next to each other? Perhaps, because the dealers are too close. Say there is a third similar car dealer miles away. Is he going to be at the same level of competition and sell his cars for the same price as the two dealers next to each other? Likely not. He may charge more or less. Maybe people don't know
there are two other dealers down the road. Maybe the dealer is almost outside of the city and the land
value isn't as high, so his taxes aren't as high.
     These situations do take place at gas stations. And more factors can impact what a station will charge. Timing can greatly impact what price a station charges as well! Many motorists fail to realize that the price a station pays for gasoline changes daily. If one station gets lucky and buys gas on Monday and the cost
goes up Tuesday, the station that bought on Monday doesn't necessarily have to raise prices like the
station that bought on Tuesday. Maybe the station that got caught buying for a higher price on Tuesday
will pass that higher cost on by raising its gas price.
      Perhaps the difference is what brand the station is-branded stations usually pay a slightly higher cost
for their gasoline. In return for paying a higher cost, those stations are guaranteed first supply in case of
emergency situations. Independent stations don't pay as much, but aren't guaranteed supply.
     While competition sounds easy to understand, there are always a large number of factors that could
influence what one station charges. Keep in mind how many variables (变数) there are next time you fill
up.
1. What could be the best title for the passage?
A. How Competition Impacts Gas Prices 
B. Gas Prices Go Up or Down
C. Competition---a Very Complex Word 
D. We Can't Stress Enough the Need for Competition  
2. The example of car dealers is used to show ________.  
A. car prices are determined by car dealers
B. location is an important factor in pricing
C. the quality of service matters most
D. dealing strategy should be flexible
3. The gas prices of a station always change partly because _______. 
A. a gas station always wants to charge more
B. the gasoline is in great demand
C. the cost of the gas the station buys varies daily
D. gas is in greater need on Monday
4. According to the passage, branded stations _______.
A. spend less money on their gasoline        
B. have more staff than independent stations
C. charge less for high quality oil            
D. offer a steady oil supply

      It is said that there are about 40,000 different kinds of jobs in the world.   1  
     "Finding a job" is not the same as "choosing a job". Many young people end up in a job which they
are not suitable for.   2   . Here are a few steps to help you think about jobs which you might enjoy doing
after school or university.
     First, it is important to realize what kind of person you are, which special qualities make you different
from everyone else and what you are interested in.    3   . If you like art and enjoy looking at pictures, that
is an interest. But if you can draw a horse that looks like a horse instead of a big dog, that is a skill.
     Then ask yourself this question: in the following three areas  ? skills with people, skills with information
and skills with things  ? which are your best skills?
     After examining your skills, the next step is research. To find out as many different kinds of jobs as
possible, go to the library and read books, magazines and newspapers.    4  
     Finally, trust your own ideas and your own thinking!   5  
A. It is your own life, so find something that you enjoy doing.

D. There is a difference between an interest and a skill.

     Tokyo is one of those places that you can love and hate at the same time.
     In Tokyo there are always too many people in the places where I want to be. Of course there are too many cars. The Japanese drive very fast, but in Tokyo they often spend a long time in traffic jams(拥挤).Tokyo is not different from London, Paris and New York in that. It is different when one wants to walk.
     At certain times of the day there are a lot of people on foot in London Oxford Street. But the streets near the Ginze in Tokyo always have a lot of people on foot, and sometimes it is really difficult to walk. People are very polite; there are just too many of them.
     The worst time to be in the street is at 11:30 at night. That is when the night-clubs are closing and everybody wants to go home. There are 35 000 night-clubs in Tokyo, and you do not often see one that is empty.

At most stations, trains arrive every two or three minutes, but at certain hours there do not seem to be enough trains. Although they are usually crowded, Japanese trains are very good. They always leave and arrive on time. On a London train you would see everybody reading a newspaper. In Tokyo trains everybody in a seat seems to be asleep, whether his journey is long or short.

     Michael Jackson, the American pop legend, died of a cardiac arrest (心脏骤停) in a Los Angeles
hospital, just weeks before he hoped to resurrect (复活) his four-decade long career with a series of

                                                          A Letter from Steve Jobs
August 24, 2011
To the Apple Board of Directors and the Apple Community,
I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as
Apple's CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come.
So I resign (辞职)as CEO of Apple. I would like to serve, if the Board feels fit, as Chairman of the
Board, director and Apple employee.
As far as my successor goes, I strongly suggest that we name Tim Cook as CEO of Apple.
I believe Apple's brightest days are ahead of it. And I look forward to watching and contributing to its
success in a new role.
I have made some of the best friends of my life at Apple, and I thank you all for the many years of being

     Have you ever intended to be fully absorbed in your work but found yourself distracted (走神) by
e-mail, the Internet and other things throughout the day? According to the survey made by a famous
university in the USA, most people have the experience.
     "People often lose their concentration when they are bored, of course, but also when they are engaged
in challenging tasks," says Peter Bregman, the head of the survey. "They sometimes have a feeling to
escape from what's difficult or boring, so they jump out," he says. The part of the brain devoted to
attention is connected to the brain's emotional center. Any strong emotion -quarrels with colleagues,
roblems at home -can interrupt our attention. Studies over the last decade have shown that too much
work to do at a time can easily lead to distraction.
     Refocusing is hard for many people. Robert Epstein suggests the following, "Stop and listen to some
soft music for a few minutes. Find a good friend or a teacher and say out your matter on your mind. Go
for a short walk or take a deep breath, where you breathe in deeply, count to five slowly, hold it and
breathe out very slowly." This can "blow out all the tension and the unwanted in your mind to restore your
focus."
     Take more control by structuring your time and becoming more aware of your behaviors. "Setting the
phone alarm to go off every hour is my way of creating awareness," Mr. Bregman says. "You have to
inform yourself that you've lost focus in order to do something about it." Starting the day with a to-do list
is also important, such as when to eat, when to go to the gym or take a walk. But if it's overly ambitious,
you will put yourself in a state of anxiety, which makes it hard for the brain to concentrate. "Choosing
three or four things as your priority (优先) for the day allows your brain to settle down and focus," he
says.
1. According to the passage, which is NOT the reason why some people can be distracted from
    their work?  
A. They don't want to be devoted to their work.
B. They are disturbed by the Internet and other things.
C. They can't find interest in their work.
D. They feel their work is too hard for them.
2. Which incident might not interrupt your attention?  
A. You were scolded by your teacher.
B. You had words with your good friend.
C. You went to school at six as usual.
D. Your mother and father had a quarrel.
3. According to Robert Epstein, how can we refocus on what we should do? 
A. Listen to rock music for some time.
B. Turn to your good friends or teachers for help.
C. Run around the playground for some time.
D. Take a breath from time to time.
4. What's the meaning of the underlined word "restore" in the passage?
A. recover    
B. reform  
C. release  
D. react
5. Why does the writer set the phone alarm to go off every hour?  
A. To blow out all the tension.
B. To become more aware of his behaviors.
C. To make a to-do list.
D. To remind him when to eat, when to go to the gym or take a walk.
