     I believe that my country, Poland, is a perfect example for a place where food is particularly important.
When we were little children, we began to understand how much a loaf of bread meant to our parents-to
some it might sound silly but for me the custom of kissing bread before you started cutting it was simply
amazing. It's not so common nowadays to treat food that way, since you hardly ever bake your own bread.
Besides, everyone would call you crazy if you tried to kiss every bread roll before you ate them! But though
we no longer make our food from scratch (起点), some customs have been kept--that's why I feel so sorry
every time I have to throw any food away-even though I no longer live with my parents and nobody would
blame me for this anymore!
     Many people of our nation are still working as farmers, eating what they grow and harvest and therefore
enjoying everything more. It's widely known that you value more anything that needs your effort in the first
place. In most homes in Poland, especially those of farmers, the whole family would try and have their meals
together--extremely difficult now, but so rewarding (值得)! You can share other members' troubles and
successes, give your children some attention, or just sit down for a moment instead of rushing through life
aimlessly. Furthermore, your body, and stomach in particular will be very grateful (感激) for such a time!
     In Poland, a wedding, Christmas or even a birthday is celebrated with a great meal. Women in the house
get together and cook, sometimes for a few days before the event, and the extremely good or unusual food
will be remembered and widely talked about.
     You cannot over-value the importance of food in the country. What@^@^@s more, almost everyone in Poland
will be as interested in the topic as I am.
1. When the writer was a child, he / she ______.
A. found people were crazy about bread
B. learned people hardly baked their own bread
C. thought that cutting bread was amazing
D. began to realize the importance of food
2. The writer feels very sorry when he/she has to throw away any food because ______. 
A. he/she makes food from scratch
B. his/her parents would blame him/her
C. some customs still have effect on him/her
D. many people are still working hard as farmers
3. From the text, we can learn that, in Poland, ______. 
A. most meals can be interesting topics for a long time
B. family members can know more about each other by having meals together
C. it's common for women to get together to cook for a few days
D. the whole family often have meals together nowadays

     A new generation addiction is quickly spreading all over the world. Weboholism, a twentieth century
disease, affects people from different ages. They surf the Net, use email and speak in chat rooms. They
spend many hours on the computer, and it becomes a compulsive habit. They cannot stop, and it affects
their lives. Decades ago, no one thought that using computers could become compulsive behavior that
could affect the social and physical life of computer users. This obsessional behavior has affected
teenagers and college students. They are likely to log on computers and spend long hours at different
websites.

situation. They spend all free time surfing and don't concentrated on homework, so this addiction

changes. The virtual life becomes more important than their real life. They have a new language that
they speak in the chat rooms and it causes cultural changes in society.
     Because of the change in their behavior, they begin to isolate themselves from the society and live
with their virtual friends. They share their emotions and feelings with friends who they have never met
in their life. Although they feel confident on the computer, they are not confident with real live friends
they have known all their life. It is a problem for the future. This addictive behavior is beginning to affect
the entire world.

     Information has always been at the center of human communication. You may ask why. Well,
communication between people contains giving and receiving information. The way we give and
receive information today has experienced a revolution in the development of the mass media in
the 20th century.
    The first truly mass communication medium was the newspaper.  For the first time in history
people could read about events in their country and from around the world every day. However,
there were two problems with newspapers of that time. Firstly, newspapers were available only in
large cities, for getting newspapers to the countryside was a difficult and timeconsuming (耗时的)
task. Secondly, newspapers weren't always reliable, as there was a limited range of opinions.
     Nowadays, we can choose from a wide variety of sources to get information. Television and the
Internet have given us the chance to be informed about everything the minute it happens. Large
numbers of radio and TV stations, satellite channels and millions of websites help people keep up
with the latest news. People live in history and are part of it.
    The media have come a long way in the last century and there is no doubt that we now live in the
information age. Whatever type of media we choose, it all comes down to the need for information.
This will always be a basic need as long as communication is part of human nature.
1. Information is considered the center of human communication because ________. 
A. human communication means information exchange
B. human communication involves people's participation
C. information is now experiencing a revolution
D. information helps people gather together
2. What was the historical contribution of the newspaper as a source of information?  
A. It made the mass communication truly develop.
B. It helped the mass communication develop in cities.
C. It kept people timely informed about home and world events.
D. It kept reliable information available in big cities.
3. The third paragraph mainly tells us that technology helps ________.
A. information easily available
B. people be part of history
C. inform everything timely
D. produce the latest news
4. It can be concluded from the last paragraph that a basic need today is ________. 
A. communication            
B. information
C. high technology           
D. media types

     Normally a student must attend a number of courses in order to graduate, and each course which he
attends gives him a grade which he may count towards a degree. In many American universities the total
work for a degree is made up of thirty-six courses each lasting for one term. Generally, a course is made
up of three classes per week for fifteen weeks; while attending a university a student will probably attend
four or five courses during each term. Normally a student would expect to take four years attending two
terms each year. It is possible to spread the period of work for the degree over a longer period. It is also
possible for a student to move between one university and another during his degree course, though this is not done as a regular practice.  
     For every course that follows a student is given a grade, which is recorded, and the student can get it to show his future employers. All this sets a constant pressure and strain of work, but in spite of this some
students still find time for great activities in student affairs. They show much interest in elections to positions in student organizations performed by students who advise the academic authorities (权威人士). Any
student who is thought to have broken the rules, for example, by cheating is to appear before a student
court. With the large numbers of students, the operation of the system has something to do with a certain
amount of activity. A student who has held one of these positions of authority is much respected and it will be of benefit to him later in his career (生涯).

     "Our aim is to take our art to the world and make people understand what it is to move," said David
Belle, the founder of parkour(跑酷).
     Do you love running? It is a good exercise, yet many people find it boring. But what if making your
morning jog a creative one? Like jumping from walls and over gaps, and ground rolls? Just like the James Bond in the movie Casino Royale? Bond jumps down from a roof to a windowsill and then runs several
blocks over obstacles on the way. It is just because of Bond's wonderful performances that the sport has
become popular worldwide.
     Yes, that's parkour, an extreme street sport aimed at moving from one point to another as quickly as
possible, getting over all the obstacles in the path using only the abilities of the human body. Parkour is
considered an extreme sport. As its participants dash around a city, they may jump over fences, run up
walls and even move from rooftop to rooftop.
Parkour can be just as exciting and charming as it sounds, but its participants see parkour much more
than that.
     Overcoming all the obstacles on the course and in life is part of the philosophy(理念) behind parkour. This is the same as life. You must determine your destination, go straight, jump over all the barriers as if
in parkour and never fall back from them in your life, to reach the destination successfully. A parkour
lover said, "I love parkour because its philosophy has become my life, my way to do everything."
     Another philosophy we've learnt from parkour is freedom. It can be done by anyone, at any time,
anywhere in the world. It is a kind of expression of trust in yourself that you earn energy and confidence.
1. Parkour has become popular throughout the world because of _____.
A. its founder, David Belle
B. the film, Casino Royale
C. its risks and tricks
D. the varieties of participants
2. The underlined word "obstacles" in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to "_____".
A. streetsB. objects
C. barriersD. roofs
3. Which of the following is true of parkour?

A. It challenges human abilities.
B. It is a good but boring sport.
C. It needs special training.
D. It is a team sport.
