8．[1]The year 2008 has one extra day in it-February 29th．Well，it actually takes the planet Earth a little more than 365 days to revolve completely around the sun．After four years an extra 24 hours have accumulated so an extra day is added to the calendar．
[2]It is called a leap year because hundreds of years ago in England，the extra day wasn't legally recognized．The British just leapt over that day．Therefore a year with 29 days in February is consequently called a leap year and that 29th day is sometimes called Leap Day．If you are born on 29th February in a leap year，there are difficulties in celebrating your birthday．So people tend to celebrate on either 28th February or 1st March every year．
[3]There is a well-known tradition in the UK associated with 29th February，introduced many centuries ago．Women are allowed to break with tradition and propose （求婚）to their boyfriends on this day．This all started back in the 5th Century，when a famous Irish saint，Bridget，complained to Saint Patrick，another famous Irish saint，that women had to wait too long for men to propose．
According to the legend，Saint Patrick said any female longing for a proposal could ask their boyfriend to marry them on this additional day in February．
[4]Now in 2008，there are calls for 29th February to become a public holiday．Some people believe that it should be an official day off，because no one gets paid for working in a leap day．For the moment though，the British still have to go to work on this day．

76．How long does it take the planet Earth to revolve completely around the sun？（no more than 9 words）365 days and 6 hours
77．What does the word"them"（Line 6，Paragraph 3）probably refer to？（no more than 3 words）females/women/girlfriends
78．Should a leap day be a day on or off？Give your reason．（no more than 18 words）
I think it should be officially off because no pay is given for that day's work
79．Fill in the blank in Paragraph 1 with proper words．（no more than 6 words）You may wonder why．/Why does this happen（come about）
80．What is the main idea of the text？（no more than 8 words）The year 2008 has one extra/more day．．

12．[1]The fact that cigarette smoking is dangerous to your health is hardly new information．Cigarette smoking is the single most preventable cause of disease and early death in the United States．So why do so many teens continue to smoke？There are lots of reasons，you usually start for one reason or another and then it is really hard to quit．
[2]Nicotine acts in the brain where it can help develop feelings of pleasure，and pleasure feels good!It also will work as an appetite suppressant（抑制剂） for many people； other people believe it relieves stress．This may help explain why it is hard __________．
[3]Experimental smoking usually begins the habit．Next comes occasional cigarette smoking at parties，on weekends，with friends or when trying to lose weight．This is the most dangerous stage，because it usually leads to an addictive stage，when teens become regular smokers． People who start smoking before the age of 21 have the hardest time quitting．
[4]There is no safe amount of smoking．Every cigarette causes some harm to the body．Once smoke touches the lips，it begins to attack living tissues，and it continues its attack wherever it goes．Cigarette smokers have less ability to carry oxygen to the rest of the body and this is why smokers have less endurance（耐力） when running or participating in sports．
[5]Smokers also get wrinkles at an earlier age．The smoke changes the elasticity（弹性） of the skin and fine lines appear around the eyes and mouth．Your clothes and hair will smell from smoke and pretty soon you can no longer smell it．Kissing a smoker is like kissing an ashtray（烟灰缸）．
[6]There is no right way to quit smoking，but surely you can do it!
[7]If you are thinking about smoking，the only way to avoid getting addicted to cigarettes is never to start in the first place．

2．Movie producers love the idea，partly because  it's so afraid and partly because it could really happen．The scene is this：an asteroid（小行星） is rushing toward Earth．A collision is unavoidable．When this happens，lots of people will die．
In the movies，a brave hero thinks of a clever plan to destroy the asteroid and save Earth．In real life，scientists have come up with more reasonable plans that might actually work if this situation comes up．
One way，say scientists and astronauts，is a 20ton spacecraft called a gravitational tractor．First，the tractor，would move quickly up to the threatening asteroid and stop a short distance away．It would hang there，firing its thrusters just enough to fight the force of gravity between the spacecraft and the asteroid．
The tractor could then use its own gravity to pull the asteroid off course．It would take about a year for the spacecraft to draw an asteroid away from Earth's path．
The question is that the spacecraft would have to arrive at the asteroid about 20years before it hits Earth．It would be easier then to move the asteroid out of the way than it would be if the asteroid was near the Earth．
Still，the tractor idea is better than many ways proposed years ago for asteroid avoidance．Exploding asteroids，for example，wouldn't work because the rocky bodies are too full of air．
Don't spend too much time worrying about asteroids'falling on your house，however．The chances of a collision happening in your lifetime are very small．If     ，though，scientists will do everything they can to keep you from getting hurt．Sounds very heroic to me!

76．What is the main idea of the article？（Please answer within 10words．）
How to Save Earth from a Collision with an Asteroid
77．How should we save earth from a collision in real life？（Please answer within 10words．）
Pull the asteroid off course
78．Express the meaning of the underlined sentence in another way．
The spacecraft would spend about a year drawing an asteroid away from Earth's path．
79．What does it in the first paragraph refer to？
An asteroid is rushing toward Earth．
80．Please fill in the blank with proper words or phrases．（Please answer within 10words．）
If it does happen．
9．A brand is a name，word，sign，symbol，design，or a combination of these，intended to identify the goods or services of a company or a group of companies．Another purpose of a brand is to contrast one company from another．The most important skill of professional marketers is the ability to create，maintain，protect，and enhance （增强） the brands of their products and services．Branding has become so important that today hardly any company or product is without one．Therefore，brand management is an increasingly important element in marketing．
Brand power refers to the relative strength of a company's brand in the minds of consumers，and can influence consumers'choice of products．Brands are powerful to the extent that they give high brand loyalty and strong brand associations，name recognition，perceived quality and other assets （资产） to a company．A strong brand can be one of a company's most important assets．
High brand power provides a company with many competitive advantages．A powerful brand enjoys a high level of consumer brand awareness and loyalty．Because consumers expect stores to carry the brand，the company has more bargaining power when negotiating with retailers （零售商）．And because the brand name brings high credibility （可信度），a company with a strong brand can more easily launch new products with the same brand name．
Many companies use the advantage of a strong brand power strategically to expand their business．When a company introduces an additional item with a new flavour，form，colour or package size in a given product category and under the same brand name，it is called a line extension．Another strategy is called brand extension．This involves the use of a successful brand name to launch new or modified products in a new category，therefore employing brand recognition in order to increase sales of new products．
Brand recognition is certainly important．Because consumers often hold long-standing perceptions about brands，high brand power ensure a company continues sales of its products．

81．What can be used as a brand of a company or a group of companies？（ No more than 12words ）a name，word，sign，symbol，design，or a combination of these
82．What effect does a company's brand have on consumers？（ No more than 8words ）It can influence consumers'choice of products．
83．What is the purpose for a brand extension？（ No more than 8words ）to launch new or modified products
84．What might be the best title of this passage？（ No more than 8words ）Brand Power．

A．you canB．can youC．should youD．you should
