【题目】Women make better drivers than men for many reasons. Why is that? If you ask me, I’d like to say, men know that women are better drivers but do not have the courage to admit the truth—women are queens of the road.

Unlike men, women stop for directions when they have no idea as to where they are going. We don’t drive around for hours pointlessly wasting a tank of gas only to find ourselves heading in the wrong direction. Have you ever been in a car with a man who is lost? He tells you to shut up when you begin to open your mouth. And every five minutes or so he takes a turn going forty-five miles per hour only to find out he’s made another wrong turn.

Speeding is what men do best on the road. There is a reason why men get more speeding tickets than women. Not because we trick to get out of tickets but only because we don’t get pulled over as frequently. We don’t speed. We have more intelligence than senselessly to put our own lives as well as the lives of others in danger.

My largest issue with male drivers is how a majority of them drive with one hand on the wheel and the other hand doing only God knows what. The seat is backed as far as possible, and they’re totally lost into loud music beyond a necessary level. You don’t ever see women driving like that.

I feel that the above evidence more than proves my points that women are not only better drivers but also safer drivers than men. We women rule the road. Oh, and men, if you want to continue criticizing(批评)women for being bad drivers, bring it on.

1If a woman driver feels lost, she will .

A. stop the car and ask people for help

B. take the wrong turns at a high speed

C. tell the man next to her to shut up

D. drive aimlessly for hours without stopping

2According to Paragraph 4, men drivers worries the writer most.

A. making jokes about women

B. not paying full attention

C. not stopping for directions

D. getting more speeding tickets

3What is the passage about?

A. Women stop for directions.

B. Men make better drivers than Women.

C. Women make better drivers than men.

D. Women rule the road.

【题目】Humans are much worse at estimating risk than we think we are. While we overestimate the risk of rare but disastrous occurrences, such as being attacked by a shark, many of us seriously underestimate the risk of behaviors that reduce our lifespan (寿命), such as smoking.

In fact, there are two types of risks — acute and chronic. Acute risks are those that may kill you immediately, such as a car accident.

Chronic risks don’t kill you immediately but rob you of your life a little at a time. If you choose to eat an unhealthy diet, for instance, you may appear to be getting away with this, but you risk developing illnesses in future that may shorten your life.

The problem is we value things much less when they occur in the future. Distant events are abstract — we don’t know how and when they might affect us -~ so we care less about them.

Take smoking for example. It is just about the worst choice you can make for your health. Every two cigarettes that you smoke takes 30 minutes off your lifespan.

In contrast, eating vegetables is clearly very good for you, with each serve increasing your lifespan by two hours. This is a massive health gain and clearly should be a strong motivator for you to eat healthily.

Drinking coffee is also good for you, though with limited health gains. Each cup of coffee (assuming you drink reasonably), is associated with approximately a ten-minute gain in your lifespan.

Even drinking alcohol may add to your lifespan, with each serve adding 30 minutes to the length of your life. But this health gain is only true for the first drink; following drinks shorten lifespan. Alcohol also causes an acute risk when consumed in excess. Too much drinking gives you a 25 in one million chance of sudden death.

We shouldn’t be too nervous about exposure to risks. Life is all about making decisions about risks and rewards, and we all have a different starting point for what we consider acceptable risks to take. Even if we don’t always make the healthiest decisions, at least we can make ones that are fully informed.

1Which of the following belongs to acute risks?

A. Eating junk food every day.

B. Being hit in a plane crash.

C. Staying up late every night.

D. Being too much overweight.

2Why do people often ignore chronic risks?

A. They can often get away with them.

B. They can rid themselves of their side effects.

C. They don’t reduce their lifespan.

D. They will not cause immediate death.

3Which habit will shorten your lifespan?

A. Eating vegetables every day.

B. Smoking only one cigarette a day.

C. Drinking a cup of coffee every day.

D. Drinking alcohol reasonably.

4What does the underlined phrase “in excess” in the 8th paragraph mean?

A. At random.

B. In need.

C. More than enough.

D. Ahead of time.

Today I took part in an English singing competition in our school. Most of the singers and audience have been there when I arrived at the hall. See the large audience, I started to feel little nervous. After some times, it was your turn to sing. When the host read my name out, the audience burst into a great cheer, and my heart began to beat really fastly. The song I sing was Country Road, that is a very famous piece of American country music. I had practiced for it many times, and I didn’t think I had done a very good job. Anyway, I was still very excited because participating was the most important thing.
