　　New archaeological discoveries that between Europe and Asia along the Silk Road not began in some form many centuries man one tought．The findings, coupled with a wit of scientice and historical research, add a new page to the epic of the Silk Road．

　　The latest and most interesting discovery is pieces of silk found in the hair of an Europe mummy from about 1000 BC, long before regular traffic on the Silk Road and at least one thousand years before silk was previously thought to be used in Egypt．Other research may extend human activity along this route back even further, perhaps a million years to the migration of human ancestors into eastern Asia．

　　The official origin of East-West commerce along the road is usually placed in the late 2 century BC when an agent of the Chinese Emperor Wu-di returned from a dangerous secret mission(使命)across the western desert into the remote high country of Central Asia．The agent, Zhang Qian, traveled as far as Afghanistan and brought back knowledge of even more distant lands such as Persia, Syria and a place known as Lijien, Perhaps Rome．Historians have called this one of the most important januallys in ancient times．His journey opened the way for what have been thought to be the first indinst contact between the incient world’s two superpowers, China and Rome still first traded to central Asical for wars and to the Parthians of old Persia in exchange for acrobats rich eggs, was soon finding the war though a network of merchants to the luxury markets to Rome．

　　But the new distract show that Chinese silk was apparently present in the Western before then Han emperor started organized trade over the Silk Road．the research could change thinking about the early history of world trade and provide insights into the mystery of just how and when Europe and the Mediterranean lands first became aware of the glorious culture at other end of Eurasia．

     Jennie and I met in night school. After having completed the required courses, we started teaching
in the same school. Frequently we had lunch together.
     For a time we were just casual friends, but one day, when I was telling Jennie about my problem
son, we discovered we were kindred spirits. "He's a difficult little character," I explained. Jennie looked
thoughtful, "Maybe you're seeing him with your eyes." She was silent a moment and then added softly,
"It is only with the heart that one sees rightly." I stared at her, "You're quoting that! It's from The Little
Prince, SaintExupery's book for children. One of my favorites. You know it, too?" Jennie nodded, "I
love it. I've read it so often, I've practically memorized it."
     Now, when I think of Jennie, I recall that book, because Jennie-more than anyone I know-possessed
the gift of seeing with the heart.
     From that moment of a treasured book shared, our friendship grew steadily. It wasn't that I didn't have an excellent relationship with my husband and son. But my mother had died shortly after my marriage, and I had neither sisters nor daughters. I realize, now, how I needed someone to share those little, seemingly
unimportant things that add so much to life-things that must be shared to be fully appreciated.
     And it was Jennie who helped me with my fourthgrade problem child. One day I_was_at_my_wit's__
end. "What he needs is a good beating!" I exploded.
     "He's probably had plenty of those," Jennie said. "Maybe he just needs sincere praise for anything he
does right, and a hug or two each day." I followed this suggestion, and eventually, because of Jennie, I
discovered a lovable little boy.
     Looking back, I had to admit that she taught me so much, such as how to love spring. One April day I said, "I hate rain!" And I'll never forget what she said, "You can't hate spring rain! It brings the flowers!" So I learned to love spring rain, too, because it did bring flowers-violets, tulips and daffodils.
1. What does the underlined sentence "I was at my wit's end" mean?
A. I didn't know what to do next.                      
B. I decided to give up.
C. I was hurt by my son deeply.                        
D. I was very proud of my son.
2. We learn from the passage that the author ________.
A. has the gift of seeing with the heart
B. likes spring rain because it seldom rains in spring
C. had lost her mother before her marriage
D. seldom praised her child in the past
3. How does the author feel about her family?
A. No one listened to her seemingly unimportant things.
B. She didn't get along well with her husband and son.
C. She seldom spoke to her mother.
D. She felt quite alone in her family.
4. The passage is mainly about ________.
A. how to educate children properly
B. the fact that we should see nature differently
C. the influence of friendship on our life
D. how friendship begins and develops

     Daniel stays home on workdays. He starts his personal computer in order to connect with the office
which is about three hundred miles away in another city. After work, he puts on his headphones, watches
a movie on his home video recorder, or plays baseball on the computer. On many days, Daniel doesn't talk
to any other human beings, and he doesn't see any people except the ones on television. Daniel is imaginary,
but his lifestyle is very possible. The inventions of modern technology seem to be cutting us off from contact
with our fellow human beings.
     The world of business is one area in which technology is separating us. Experts say, for example, that
many people will soon be able to work at home. With access to a large central computer, employees such as
office clerks, insurance agents, and accountants could do their jobs at display terminals (终端) in their own
homes. They would never have to actually see the people they're dealing with. In addition, the way employees
are paid will change. Workers' salaries will be automatically paid into their bank accounts, making paper
checks unnecessary. No workers will stand in line to receive their pay or cash their checks. Personal banking
will change, too. Customers will deal with machines to put in or take out money from their accounts. Many
companies and consumers have already changed the way they sell or buy products. E-commerce, or business
done on the Internet, is becoming more and more popular. This, therefore, makes it possible for people to do
shopping without going out of their homes.
     Another area that technology is changing is entertainment. Music, for example, was once a group experience.
People listened to music at concert halls or in small social gatherings. For many people now, however, music
is an individual experience. Walking along the street or sitting in their living-rooms, they wear headphones to
build a wall of music around them. Movie entertainment is changing as well. Movies used to be social events.
Now, fewer people are going out to see a movie. Many more are choosing to wait for a film to appear on
television or are borrowing videotapes to watch at home. Instead of laughing with others, viewers watch
movies in their own living-rooms.
1. After work, Daniel likes to _____.
[     ]
A. listen to music at the concert hall
B. watch a movie in his living-room
C. chat with his friends on the net
D. play baseball with his workmates
2. The underlined sentence "Daniel is imaginary, but his lifestyle is very possible" means _____.
[     ]
A. Daniel is a person full of imagination and he can make his life colourful.
B. Daniel is not a real person but the lifestyle of his kind does exist.
C. Daniel is only an ordinary person but he has his own way of living.
D. Daniel is a model who makes full use of modern technology in life.
3. What will the writer most probably discuss after the last paragraph?
[     ]
A. Games and sports
B. Personal banking
C. Music and films
D. International business
4. What is the main idea of the passage?
[     ]
A. We may no longer need to communicate wit other human beings.
B. Modern technology seems to be separating human beings.
C. We may no longer need to work in the office.
D. Modern technology makes it possible for us to work and entertain ourselves at home.

Body image is a person's opinions, thoughts, and feelings about his or her own body and physical appearance. Having a positive body image means feeling pretty satisfied with the way you look，appreciating your body for its capabilities and accepting its imperfections. Body image is part of someone's total self-image. So how a guy feels about his body can affect how he feels about himself.

Recognize your strengths. Different physical qualities and body types are good for different things — and sometimes the things you did well as a kid can change during puberty (青春期）.What does your body do well? Maybe your speed, flexibility, strength, or coordination leads you to excel at a certain sport. Or perhaps you have some non-sports skills. Just exploring talents that you feel good about can help your self-respect and how you think of yourself.

A good body doesn't always translate into athletic success. Too often, the way guys see their body image is closely associated with their performance on a sports field or in the gym. But what if you don't like team sports or you got cut from a team you really wanted to make?

If you don't like team sports，find another form of physical activity that gets you going. This will help you stay in shape and help you to appreciate the skills you may not have realized you had in a team environment.

If you like team sports but didn't make a particular team，use this as an opportunity to discover what you're good at, not to regret what you aren't best at.

Look into starting a strength training program. Exercise can help you look good and feel good about yourself. Good builds don't just happen — they take hard work, regular workouts, and a healthy diet. There's no need to work out too much. A healthy routine can be as simple as exercising 20 minutes to 1 hour three days a week. Another benefit of working out properly is that it can cheer up yourself ——lifting weights can lift your spirits.

Don't harm your body, respect it! To help improve your view of your body, take care of it. Treating yourself well over time results in a healthier，stronger body ——and that contributes to a better body image. Practicing good living habits — regular showering ； taking care of your teeth, hair, and skin； wearing clean clothes, etc.——also can help you build a positive body image.

Be yourself. Your body is just one part of who you are — along with your talent for comedy, a quick wit, or all the other things that make you unique. Your talents, skills, and beliefs are just as much a part of you as the cover they come in. So try not to let minor imperfections take over.

A. one's physical appearance                         B. one's athletic achievements

C. one's body abilities                                   D. one's self-confidence

B.  A good body is certain to lead to a good sport performance.

C.  A good body image results mainly from extreme workouts.

D. Exploring non-sports talents matters equally as sports skills in building self-respect.

A.  lifting weights is the best sport in lifting one's spirits

B.  keeping good living habits does good to body image

C.  one should try not to let minor imperfection take over

D. any activity out of. team sports can lead to one's discovery of one's potential skills
