1) One in four people spend more time socializing online, using sites such as Facebook, than they do in person, according to research.

       2) People now have 11 different ways of staying in contact with their friends from the comfort of their sofa or bedroom.

       3) These include simple email, messenger, text and several forms of social networking from Twitter to Facebook, said the survey by online casino Yazino.

       4) It is found even when there is time to see people face to face, like at a weekend, up to 11 percent of all adults still choose to       .

       5）This could be down to laziness, the cost of going out or simply not wanting too much personal contact with friends and family but just enough to swap brief messages and online chats.

       6）It all adds up. The average online Brit spends 4.6 hours a week talking to friends online and only six hours a week talking to people in person, said Yazino.

       7）There is even an army of “extreme sofalisers”－the three percent who spend a staggering 25 hours or more each week talking to friends via electronic devices.

       8）The survey of 2, 000 adults also found 11 percent organize all their social diary around Facebook, Bebo or other network sites.

       9）Yazino founder Hussein Chahine said, “Communication is constantly evolving. Some people are as used to seeing their friends’ online image as they are their face.”

       10）“We are now just as likely to SMS or email a friend as we are to call them.”

       11）“People increasingly prefer quick and frequent engagement with instant updates on news than a prolonged chat and are also finding new ways to catch up with friends from their comfort of their sofa.”

12）More than seven in ten text their friends and family and 31 percent use social networking sites while just 27 percent now use email as their primary means of contact.

13）A further 18 percent use live chat and instant messaging systems.

Throughout this long，tense election，everyone has focused on the presidential candidates and how they’ll change America．However,1’m more fascinated by Michelle Obama and what she might be able to do，not just for this country, but for me as well as an African-American woman．

As the potential First Lady, she would have the world’s attention．And that means that for the first time people will have a chance to learn more about the type of African-American woman．

　 Usually，the fives of black women go largely unexamined．The common belief sums to be that we’re all hot-tempered single mothers．Even in the world of films，black women still can’t escape the stereotype of being discriminated females raised by our never-married，alcoholic(酗酒的)mothers．

　 These images have helped define the way all women are viewed，including Michelle Obama．Before she ever gets the chance to commit to a cause，charity or foundation as First

Lady, her most urgent and perhaps most complicated duty may be simple to be herself．

　 It won’t be easy．Because few mainstream media have made reports on regular African-American women，title is known about who we are，what we think and what we face on a regular basis．For better or worse，Michelle will represent US all．

　 Just as she will have her critics，she will also have millions of fans who usually have little interest in the First Lady．Many African-American blogs have written about what they’d like to see Michelle bring to the White House--mainly showing the world that a black woman can support her man and raise a strong black family．Michelle will have to work to please everyone一an impossible task．But for many African-American women like me, just a little of her confidence and intelligence will go a long way in changing an image that has been around for too long．

71．Which of the following is TRUE of Michelle Obama according to the text?

　 A．She serves as a role model for African women．

　 B．She is a hot-tempered woman like other African women．

　 C．She will not present to the world a new image of African-American women．

　 D．She will pay closer attention to the interests of African-American women．

72．What does the underlined word “stereotype’’ refer to?

　 A．a closed prison　 　　　　B．a fixed image

　 C．a strict punishment 　　　　D．a perfect product

73．What do many African-Americans write about in their blogs?

　A．Michelle can surely live up to the high expectations of her fans．

　B．How Michelle should behave as the First Lady．

　C．How proud they are to have a black woman in the White House．

　D．What Michelle should do as wife and mother in the family．

74．What does the author say about Michelle Obama as a First Lady?

　 A．However many fans she has, she should remain modest．

B．She shouldn’t disappoint the African-American community．

　C．However hard she tries, she can’t please everybody．

　D．She will give priority to African-American women’s concerns．

75．What do many African-American women hope Michelle Obama will do?

　 A．Help change the long-held view about black women．

　 B．Help her husband in the task of changing America．

　 C．Outshine previous First Lady．　 ‘

D．Fully display her fine qualities．

It was not yet eleven o’clock when a boat crossed the river with a single passenger who had obtained his transportation at that unusual hour by promising an extra fare.

While the youth stood on the landing-place searching in his pockets for money, the ferryman lifted a lantern, by the aid of which, together with the newly risen moon, he took a very accurate survey of the stranger’s figure. He was a young man of barely eighteen years, evidently country bred（长大的）, and now, as it seemed, on his first visit to town. He was wearing a rough gray coat, which was in good shape, but which had seen many winters before this one. The garments under his coat were well constructed of leather, and fitted tightly to a pair of muscular legs; his stockings of blue yarn must have been the work of a mother or sister, and on his head was a three-cornered hat, which in its better days had sheltered the grayer head of the lad’s father. In his left hand was a walking stick, and his equipment was completed by a leather bag not so abundantly stocked as to inconvenience the strong shoulders on which it hung. Brown, curly hair, well-shaped-features, bright, cheerful eyes were nature’s gifts, and worth all that art could have done for his adornment(装饰).

The youth, whose name was Robin, paid the boatman, and then walked forward into the town with a light step, as if he had not already traveled more than thirty miles that day. As he walked, he surveyed his surroundings as eagerly as if he were entering London or Madrid, instead of the little metropolis（都市）of a New England colony.

66. What time of the year was it in this story?

A. Winter.           B. Fall.       C. Summer.    D. Spring.

67. The boatman was willing to take Robin across the river because ________.

A. he was going to row across the river anyway

B. he saw that Robin was young and rich

C. he would give extra money

D. he felt sorry for him because Robin looked poor

68. The stockings that Robin wore were obviously _________.

A. well worn         B. very expensive       C. handmade         D. much too big

69. From the text we can learn that Robin had traveled __________.

A. from London                B. from Madrid

C. from a nearby city                D. over thirty miles

70. At what time of day did Robin cross the river?

A. Night.      B. Late afternoon    C. Midday.           D. Morning. 

Findings from a new study were presented at a recent meeting of the American Psychosomatic(身心的) Society. Researchers in the United States studied 100,000 women during an eight-year period, beginning in 1994. All of the women were fifty or older. The study was part of the Women’s Health Initiative organized by the National Institutes of Health.

The women were asked questions measuring their beliefs or ideas about the future. The researchers attempted to identify each woman’s personality eight years after gathering the information.

The study found that hopeful individuals were 14% less likely than other women to have died from any cause. The hopeful women were also 30% less likely to have died from heart disease after the eight years.

Hilary Tindle from the University of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania was the lead author of the report. She said the study confirmed earlier research that linked optimistic feelings to longer life.

The researchers also gathered information about people’s education, financial earnings, physical activity and use of alcohol or cigarettes. Independent of those things, the findings still showed that optimists had less of a chance of dying during the eight-year period.

Some women who answered the questions were found to be hostile (怀敌意的), or highly untrusting of others. These women were 16% more likely to die than the others. They also were 23% more likely to die of cancer.

The study also found women who were not optimistic were more likely to smoke and have high blood pressure or diabetes. They were also more likely not to exercise.

Tindle says the study did not confirm whether optimism leads to healthier choices, or if it actually affects a person’s physical health. She also says the study does not prove that negative (消极的) emotions or distrust lead to bad health effects and shorter life. Yet there does appear to be a link that calls for more research.

A. Nation　　　　　　　　　　　　 B. Opinion

C. Science　　　　　　　　　　　 D. Business

62. Researchers carry out the study to ________.

A. decide who is more likely to enjoy a happier life

A. Negative emotions cause a shorter life indeed.

B. There may be some link between personality and health.

C. It’s uncertain whether optimism affects one’s health.

D. The more optimistic you are, the longer life you may enjoy.

64. Who is more likely to die of cancer according to the text?

A. A woman who always doubts what others say.

B. A woman who doesn’t exercise.

C. A woman with high blood pressure.

D. A woman with poor physical health.

65. What’s Hilary Tindle’s opinion of the study?

A. Unfair.　　　　 B. Useless.　　　　 C. Necessary.　　　 D. Reliable.

China's major banks confirmed with Xinhua Monday that they will not attend the International Monetary Fund (IMF)-World Bank meeting that opens Tuesday in Tokyo.

The banks include the country's four state-owned banks -- the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC), Bank of China, China Construction Bank, Agriculture Bank of China. The ICBC is the world's largest lender by market value.

The banks' decision was made after bilateral relations between China and Japan became strained, after the Japanese government announced its decision on September 10 to "purchase" the Diaoyu Islands, which are China's inherent territory, analysts said. Japan's move fueled anti-Japan protests in dozens of Chinese cities last month.

Damage to ties between the two Asian giants has been extensive. Trade, which reached a record of $342.9 billion last year, has been affected. Many academic conferences and cultural exchanges were canceled and airlines have canceled flights due to low seat occupancy rates.

The banks' decision is further evidence that the unilateral(单边的) actions by Japan is freezing bilateral（双边的） relations and now starting to weigh on the world's economy, said Mei Xinyu, a researcher at the International Trade and Economic Cooperation Institution under China's Ministry of Commerce.

The ties between the world's second- and third-largest economies will definitely undermine the global economic operation and policy co-ordinations. This is because the two nations together make up about one fifth of the world's economic output, Mei said.

The shaky global economy needs Japan and China to be fully engaged, said IMF's managing director Christine Lagarde. She warned that the world cannot afford the two countries to be in dispute.

The warning came as both the World Bank and Asian Development Bank slashed their growth estimates for the continent. The dispute between the two countries has also put regional supply chains at risk. Both China and Japan are important sources of semi-manufactured goods in Asia, said Zhang Mo'nan, a researcher at the State Information Center, a government think tank. The ripple effect will spread and put pressure on the world economy.
