    A dentist’s office may not be everyone’s idea of a perfect holiday destination.But a growing number of Europeans are travelling abroad for medical treatment to save money，or maybe to combine a visit to the doctor with some sightseeing，creating a potential but fast­growing market for traditional tour operators.
    “It was simply cheaper for me to go to a dentist in Hungary，” said a 42­year­old physical therapist from Berlin.He chose the clinic near Budapest from an Internet advertisement，attracted by hundreds of euros in savings compared with the same treatment in Germany.He was happy to find when he got there that the clinic was clean，the staff qualified and the work thorough.
    People travel abroad for medical treatment for various reasons：it’s cheaper，they face a long wait at home，or the treatment they want is not available in their own country.The British­based Medical Tourist Company refers about 100 patients a year to hospitals in India for treatments.And Chief Executive Premhar Shah reports rapid growth in demand from customers in Africa，where it can be harder to find well­equipped medical facilities for complex surgeries.
    Some patients who have immigrated may prefer to return to be close to their families when they undergo surgery.“People will want to take the opportunity to seek treatment in places where they have relatives who might be able to look after them.I’m seeing that especially with younger people from eastern Europe，” said a professor at the University of Oxford.
    For some，there is the attraction of free treatment abroad.British law­makers have called for tighter checks on patients arriving for treatment，out of concerns that foreign citizens are travelling to Britain to take advantage of the free service.
    The global medical tourism market is believed to be worth $40 billion to $60 billion and growing at about 20 percent per year.
    小题1:The 42­year­old physical therapist was satisfied with________in Hungary.
    A．the price instead of the service
    B．the service instead of the price
    C．both the price and the service
    D．neither the price nor the service
    小题2:How many reasons are mentioned to explain why people go abroad for medical treatment?
    A．Four.　　　　　　B．Five.
    C．Six.　D．Seven.
    小题3:According to the article，________for medical treatment.
    A．more Africans want to travel abroad
    B．more Europeans want to travel to Africa
    C．more Britons want to travel to India
    D．no one would come to Great Britain
    小题4:Young people from eastern Europe return to their mother countries for surgery in order to________.
    A．get cheaper medical service
    B．be looked after by relatives
    C．have better medical treatment
    D．enjoy free medical treatment
    小题5:What does the article mainly talk about?
    A．Overseas sightseeing.　B．Hospital treatment.
    C．Medical tourism.　D．Travelers’ health problems.

    Moving to a new neighborhood，town，state，or even country can be a pretty scary  experience.All you know is that things will be different and chances are you won’t know the kids  at your new school.
    The experiences that go with moving make many kids feel nervous and worried.This is perfectly normal but don’t let these emotions overrun your thoughts！You will soon get used to your surroundings and find new friends at your new school.
    Leaving old friends and familiar places behind can be difficult.However，as you begin the moving process，keep in mind that saying goodbye to your old house，school，and friends does not mean that you have to forget them or that your farewell is permanent！If you’re moving to a new state or even a different country and won’t see your friends for a long nme，don’t despair.Make sure to ask everyone for their address so you can write them letters.Also，thanks to the  Internet，it is very easy to stay in touch through email or instant messaging technologies.With  your parent’s permission，you can even create a blog or web page to chronicle all of your new  experiences.Include your thoughts，tales of your new adventures，even pictures of new friends，your new house，and new town.Your old friends will love seeing what you are busy with.
    Many schools have an orientation program where a student already established at the school shows a new student around for their first week.This can help you to find your way around the school and to make new friends faster.
    While moving is tough on kids of any age，high school counselor Karen Turner says moves can be particularly difficult for teens.“I think moving during adolescents is an extremely stressful experience，especially if you are into your junior high or senior year.Students tend to have established a very strong peer network during that period in their lives.Often this has more influence on them even than their families in some cases，and when they are torn from that there’s often resentment (怨气)．” However，Turner adds that while moving isn’t easy，there are things that your parents and the school can do to help you cope with the change.

    Greece declared a national state of emergency on Saturday as scores of forest fires that have killed at least 46 people continued to burn out of control, leaving some villages trapped within walls of flames, cut off from firefighters.
    Although most of the fires have been on the Peloponnesian Peninsula, some broke out on the outskirts of Athens on Saturday, forcing the evacuation of homes and closing a major road linking the capital to the main airport for several hours. The national fire brigade said that by evening it had brought those blazes under control, including one that came within about six miles of the city.
    The country has been vulnerable to fire this summer because of drought and three consecutive heat waves that sent temperatures soaring over 100 degrees. More than 3,000 forest fires have destroyed thousands of acres of wooded areas since June; the earlier fires killed nine people. The latest spate of fires on the peninsula started Friday. Strong, hot winds have spread the flames.
    Firefighters expect the death toll to rise, because they have not yet been able to search some areas that had been overrun by flames.
    Hardest hit by the fires were a dozen small villages t around the town of Zaharo in the western peninsula, where at least 12 people, including some who may have been trying to flee by car, were killed. Scores of other residents, including elderly and disabled people, remained trapped in their homes, phoning in to local television and radio stations, crying for help.
    Late Saturday, Mr. Karamanlis, Prime Minister of Greece appeared on national television and declared that he was mobilizing all of the country’s resources to control the fire. Mr. Karamanlis also suggested that the recent fires might have been purposely set. “So many fires sparked simultaneously in so many regions is no coincidence,” he said, “We will get to the bottom of this and punish those responsible.”
    The overstretched national fire services are being helped by an estimated 6,000 soldiers mobilized for the operation. A fleet of water-dumping aircraft was expected from France, Germany and Norway, after Greece appealed to the European Union for “urgent assistance.”
    51.The writer mainly wants to tell us that ______ in the passage.
    A. firefighters battles fearlessly in Greece to control the fire
    B. constant fires in Greece have caused great life and wealth lose
    C. Greece is facing great danger as forest fires continue to break out
    D. Greek government is investigating the cause of recent forest fires
    52. We can know from the passage that ______.
    A. Athens, capital of Greece was not threatened in the fire
    B. Greek government did not take effective measures to control the fire
    C. many people had to leave their homes to avoid fire
    D. all people endangered by the fire have already got immediate and proper help
    53. According to the passage, which of the following might not contribute to the recent forest fires in Greek?
    A. Storm thunders in summer
    B. Lack of rainfall
    C. Extremely hot weather this summer
    D. Hot and strong wind
    54. We can learn from the passage that ______.
    A. now the fire crisis in Greece has come to an end
    B. assistance from EU members is expected to come to help Greece
    C. firefighters in Greece so far can still manage the situation
    D. the number of people who die in the fire is expected not to rise any more
    55. Mr. Karamanlis believes the forest fires in Greece _______.
    A. is a happening by chance                             B. is a natural disaster
    C. might be caused by human       on purpose             D. is a punishment of nature

    For more than two days in September 1974, the people of Honduras shut their windows, locked their doors and covered in their homes. Fifi was outside, and they were frightened.
    By the time Fifi had left, 8,000 people were dead, Fifi wasn't a pet dog as the name suggests. It was a hurricane, one of the most destructive natural phenomena in the world.
    Why do we give human names to storms and hurricanes?
    We didn't always. Two hundred years ago, many hurricanes in the Caribbean were named after the saint's(基督徒的)day on which the storm occurred. Later, storms were known by the name of the city where they came ashore.
    Meteorologists (气象学家) then tried naming storms after the latitude (纬度) and longitude (经度) where they occurred.
    Finally, in 1953, hurricanes started getting people's names —specifically, female names. Male names were added in 1979.
    There are six sets of names for what the experts call “Atlantic tropical cyclones”( 热带风暴)．
    Each list is used every six years and consists of 21 names, starting with every letter but Q, U, X, Y ，Z. the names alternate (交替)between male and female.
    A storm won't get a name until its winds reach 39 mph or about 62.4 kph, at which point it becomes a tropical storm. At 74 mph or 118.4 kph it's declared a hurricane.
    The 126 names on the list are used only for storms that form off the Atlantic coast of the US. There are separate lists for the Pacific.
    So what happens if a hurricane should cross from the Atlantic to the Pacific? It's happened before. The storm just gets a new name and sometimes a new sex.
    Max Mayfield is the director of the National Hurricane Centre, headquartered in Miami, Florida. He is in charge of picking new names for storms off the Atlantic coast.
    He doesn't do it alone, though. His counterparts in two dozen other countries in the Caribbean, Central America and North America vote on what names will replace retired names.
    小题1:From the first paragraph we can find that ________.
    A．Honduras is a country which was destroyed by Fifi
    B．Honduras is a country which has no mountains
    C．Honduras is a country which faces the ocean
    D．Honduras is a country which lies at high latitude
    小题2:Which of the following is true according to the passage?
    A．There were no hurricanes two centuries ago.
    B．The Caribbean is a state of the United States.
    C．The Caribbean is a place where hurricanes occur often.
    D．Fifi was formed off the Pacific.
    小题3:The names for storms and hurricanes, as this passage shows，________.
    A．are set for use.
    B．are all from American English
    C．are difficult to spell
    D．are easy to fix
    小题4:The underlined word “counterparts” in the last paragraph means ________.
    A．citizens holding the same opinion
    B．people with a similar position or function
    C．passengers traveling by sea
    D．assistants working abroad

    A Simple Lesson
    “Another bad day at school？” my father asked as I came into the room.
    “How could you tell? I didn't shut the door heavily or anything，” I replied. Over the past two months I had either done this or thrown my backpack across the room every time I came home from school. Papa thinks it has something to do with moving to a new house.
    “I know this move has been hard on you. Leaving your friends and cousins behind is tough，” Papa said, as he put his arm around my shoulder. “What you must remember is that, with a lot of hard work and some time, you will make new friends.”
    “You don't know how hard it is. This year my baseball team would have won the championship. They won't even give me a chance to pitch (投球) here. All I get to play is right field, and that's the worst！”
    Papa turned toward me. “Things will get better, I promise you. Let me ask you, do you know why you were named David Lorenzo？”
    “Yes, your name is David and grandfather's name is Lorenzo.”
    “Very good, and what makes your grandfather so important？”
    “He was the first in the family to come to this country and all that，” I answered.
    “That is only partly correct. Your grandfather was a very great man. In Mexico, he had been a teacher. When he came to America he could only get low­paid labor jobs because he didn't speak the language. It took him two years before he spoke English well enough to be allowed to teach here, but he did it. He never complained because he knew change could be difficult. Did he ever tell you that？” my father asked.
    I looked down at my feet, ashamed at my behavior. “No. That must have been hard，” I said sheepishly.
    “Your grandfather taught me that if you let people see your talent, they will accept you for who you are. I want you to always remember what my father taught me, even if it takes a few years for people to see who you are，” said Papa.
    All I could say was, “Okay.” Then I asked, “What should I do now？”
    Laughing, Papa said, “How about you pitch a few to me? You need some work.”
    小题1:Why was the author unhappy that day?
    A．Because he moved to a new country.
    B．Because his baseball team lost the game.
    C．Because he wasn't offered a chance to pitch.
    D．Because he quarreled with his friends at school.
    小题2:The father successfully changed his son's mood by ________.
    A．asking him to train harder
    B．playing baseball with him
    C．telling his grandfather's story
    D．introducing him some new friends
    小题3:The underlined word “sheepishly” probably means ________.
    A．shyly　　　　　　　　B．patiently
    C．clumsilyD．cautiously
    小题4:What can we infer about the author?
    A．He thinks his father lives in the past.
    B．He'd rather live with his grandfather.
    C．He will continue to dislike school and everything.
    D．He will try his best to adapt to the new environment.

    I was an extremely verbal child, and growing up with my dad was an experiment in linguistics(语言学). My father was a man of few words. Whenever I wanted his permission for a certain activity, I planned a speech that included who would be there, where it would take place, how long it would last, and why it was an incredibly wonderful opportunity for me. He would listen and then say either “Yes” or “No.” There were never any qualifiers; not “Yes, but be home by dinner” or “No, unless you can convince me otherwise.” It was yes or no, plain and simple.
    My father’s phone messages were also lessons in patience and long-suffering to a teenage girl. I was quite active in high school. Not only did I enjoy being involved in many areas, but I came into contact with many a great teenage guy. I can recall one busy day when I had met two great guys and had given each of them my phone number. The first words out of my mouth when I walked through the front door were, “Dad! Did anyone call?” His answer, of course, was simply “Yes”.I required for a more accurate description of the caller. His answer: “A boy.” Since I had met two guys that day, this did not help me. I ran to my room in tears.
    Knowing my dad’s dislike of language in general and his fondness for briefness, it surprised me to hear that he was going to teach the eleven-year-old boys’ Sunday school class. He did so for not one, but many years. I always wondered if he actually said anything, or if they all just sat in their chairs and stared at each other. I was sure that if people were waiting on my father to break the ice with brilliant conversation or a springboard comment, they’d be badly disappointed. Still, September after September, my father hung his sign outside the Sunday school room: Mr. Ernst—Eleven-Year-Old Boys.
    小题1: In order to get Dad to agree to the author’s outing, the author had to make up the following EXCEPT _____.
    A．the friends I shall meet in the activity
    B．the activity is a chance for anyone
    C．the place where the activity is to be held
    D．the time that I shall spend in the activity
    小题2: When the author says “My father’s phone messages were also lessons in patience and long-suffering to a teenage girl.”, it means that when she was young _____.
    A．her father once gave her a lesson about patience and long-lasting pain
    B．her father’s brief phone messages angered her a lot but made her patient
    C．she was trained to be patient and brave because of her father’s brief phone messages
    D．she suffered and had to be patient because of her father’s brief phone messages
    小题3: What’s the meaning of the underlined phrase “break the ice” in Paragraph 3?
    A．Make the ice crack.B．Stop talking.
    C．Start a talk.D．Interrupt a talk.
    小题4: Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
    A．My father would answer me with “Yes, but be home by dinner” sometimes.
    B．I came into contact with just a few great teenage guys because I was active in high school.
    C．That my father would teach the eleven-year-old boys’ Weekday school class surprised me.
    D．I always wanted to know how my father, who talked so little, taught the boys.

    I often read of incidents of misunderstanding or conflict. I ’m left      . Why do these people create mistrust and problems, especially with those from other          ？
    I was growing up in Kuala Lumpur in the early 1960s,     children from different races and religions played and studied       in harmony. At that time my family lived a stone s     from Ismail’s. And no one was bothered that Ismail was a Malay Muslim and Iwas an Indian Hindu——we just       our differences. Perhaps, our elders had not filled our heads with unnecessary advice，well        or otherwise.
    We were nine when we became friends. During the school holidays, we'd          the countryside on our bicycles, hoping to         the unexpected. At times Ismail would accompany my family as we made a rare shopping trip to town. We would be glad of his     .
    When I was twelve, my family moved to Johor. Ismail s family later returned to their village, and I          touch with him.
    One spring afternoon in 1983, I stopped a taxi in Kuala Lumpur. I         my destination. The driver acknowledged my         but did not move off. Instead, he looked       at me. “Raddar?" he said, using my childhood nickname(绰号). I was astonished at being so      addressed (称呼). Unexpectedly! It was Ismail! Even after two     we still recognized each other. Grasping his shoulder, I felt a true affection, something      to describe.
    If we can allow our children to be       without prejudice, they'll build friendships with people, regardless of race or religion, who will be     their side through' thick and thin. On such friendships are societies built and     we can truly be, as William Shakespeare once wrote, 44we happy few, we band of brothers".
