    I was parked in front of the mall wiping off my car. Coming my way from across the parking lot was what society would consider a bum (乞丐). “I hope he doesn’t ask me for any money,” I thought.
    He didn’t. He came and sat on the curb (路边) in front of the bus stop but he didn’t look like he could have enough money to even ride the bus.
    After a few minutes he spoke,“That’s a very pretty car.” He was ragged (衣衫褴褛的) but he had an air of dignity.
    I said “Thanks” and continued wiping off my car. He sat there quietly as I worked. “Do you need any help?” I asked.
    He answered in three simple but profound words that I shall never forget.
    “Don’t we all?” he said.
    I was feeling high and mighty, successful and important, above a bum in the street, until those three words hit me like a shotgun.
    Don’t we all?
    I needed help. Maybe not for bus fare or a place to sleep, but I needed help. I reached in my wallet and gave him not only enough for bus fare, but enough to get a warm meal and shelter for the day.
    Maybe the man was just a homeless stranger wandering the streets. Maybe he was more than that. Maybe he was sent by a power that is great and wise, to minister to a soul too comfortable with himself.
    Don’t we all? Those three little words still ring true. No matter how much you have, no matter how much you have accomplished, you need help too. And you never know when you may see someone that appears to have it all. They are waiting for you to give them what they don’t have.
    1. What was the writer doing when he met the homeless person?
    A. Shopping.       B. Cleaning his car.       C. Admiring his car.      D. Parking his car.
    2. What does the underlined phrase “high and mighty” mean?
    A. Tall.   B. On top of the world.C. Strong and powerful.  D. Filled with false pride.
    3. Which of the following can best describe the writer’s feelings about himself after the encounter?
    A. He felt a new sense of pride.                  B. Inspired and humble.
    C. Great and wise.                            D. Successful and important.
    4. What does the article tell us?
    A. We should help those less fortunate than ourselves.
    B. Helping a person indirectly is preferable to direct, obvious help.
    C. All of us, at certain moments of our lives, need help from others and should offer help ourselves.
    D. Money is all important in life.

    Today, roller skating is easy and fun. But many years ago, it wasn’t easy at all. Before 1750, people never tried skating on wheels. That changed because of a man named Joseph Merlin.

    One day Merlin received an invitation to go to an important party. He was very pleased and a little excited. As the day of the party came near, Merlin began to think.

    The evidence for harmony may not be obvious in some families. But it seems that four out of five young people now get on with their parents, which is the opposite of the popularly held image (印象) of unhappy teenagers locked in their room after endless family quarrels.
    An important new study into teenage attitudes surprisingly shows that their family life is more harmonious than it has ever been in the past. “We were surprised by just how positive today’s young people seen to be about their families,” said one member of the research team. “They’re expected to be rebellious(叛逆的) and selfish but actually they have other things on their minds: they want a car and material goods, and they worry about whether school is serving them well. There’s more negotiation(商议) and discussion between parents and children, and children expect to take part in the family decision-making process. They don’t want to rock the boat.”
    So it seems that this generation of parents is much more likely than parents of 30 years ago to treat their children as friends.” My parents are happy to discuss things with me and willing to listen to me,” says 17-years-old Daniel Lazall. “I always tell them when I’m going out clubbing. As long as they know what I’m doing, they’re fine with it.” Susan Crome, who is now 21, agrees. “Looking back on the last 10 years, there was a lot of what you could call negotiation. For example, as long as I’d done all my homework, I could go out on a Saturday night. But I think my grandparents were a lot stricter with my parents than that.”
    Maybe this positive view of family life should not be unexpected. It is possible that the idea of teenager rebellion is not rooted in real facts. A researcher comments, “Our surprise that teenagers say they get along well with their parents comes because of a brief period in out social history when teenagers were regarded as different beings. But that idea of rebelling and breaking away from their parents really only happened during that one time in the 1960s when everyone rebelled. The normal situation throughout history has been a smooth change from helping out with the family business to taking it over.”
    小题1: What is the popular images of teenagers today?
    A．They worry about schoolB．They dislike living with their parents
    C．They have to be locked in to avoid troubles D．They quarrel a lot with other family members
    小题2:The study shows that teenagers don’t want to ___
    A．share family responsibilityB．cause trouble in their families
    C．go boating with their familyD．make family decisions
    小题3:Compared with parents of 30 years age, today’s parents___.
    A．go to clubs more often with their childrenB．are much stricter with their children
    C．care less about their children’s lifeD．give their children more freedom
    小题4: According to the author, teenage rebellion____.
    A．may be a false beliefB．is common nowadays
    C．existed only in the 1960sD．resulted from changes in families

    Thousands of villages in the developing world have no telephones. They have no money to build telephone systems. A new kind of technology may help change this situation. I t reduces the cost of building and using telephone systems.
    Traditional systems use wires to carry electrical signals from one telephone to another. The wires often cost much more than telephones. The new system is based on radio communication. Each telephone sends and receives signals through the air, but not through the wires. This reduces the cost greatly. The radio telephone gets their power from the sun.
    Each is connected to a solar equipment that changes the sun’s energy into electricity. A battery stores the electricity until someone needs to make or receive a call. The telephone turns off by itself if the level of power in the battery falls too low. This prevents damage to the system. Each radio telephone is connected to a computer microprocessor. It rewards how many calls are sent and received. It controls the power supply.
    The technology needs more study, but its new use of radio equipment sun power and computers may help start telephone ringing in the other parts of the world.
    68. The radio telephone gets their power from_____.
    A. the sun 　　　B. electricity 　　　C. battery 　　　D. a special equipment
    69. Each telephone is connected to_____.
    A. a solar equipment 　　　　　　　B. a radio machine
    C. a computer microprocessor 　　　D. Both A and C
    70. From the passage we can infer that_____.
    A. the new telephone system costs less than before
    B. we can not use the radio as before
    C. the new telephone system will take the place of the old one
    D. it will be much easier to radio from now on
    71. The main idea of the passage is_____.
    A. a simple telephone system has been invented and costs less money
    B. thousands of villages will use the new telephone system very soon

    A classic series of experiments to determine the effects of overpopulation on communities of rats was conducted by a psychologist，John Calhoun．In each experiment，an equal number of male and female adult rats were placed in an enclosure（场地）．The rat populations were allowed to increase．Calhoun knew from experience approximately how many rats could live in the enclosures without experiencing stress due to overcrowding．He allowed the population to increase to approximately twice this number Then he fixed the population by removing the children that were not dependent on their mothers．At the end of the experiments，Calhoun was able to conclude that overcrowding causes a breakdown in the normal social relationships among rats，a kind of social disease．The rats in the experiments did not follow the same patterns of behavior as rats would in a community without overcrowding．
    The females in the rat population were the most seriously affected by the high population density（密度）．For example，mothers sometimes deserted their children，and，without their mothers’care，the children died．The experiments showed that in overpopulated communities，mother rats do not behave normally．Their behavior may be considered diseased and pathological（病理学的）．
    The leading males in the rat population were the least affected by over population．Each of these strong males claimed an area of the enclosure as his own．Therefore，these individuals did not  experience the overcrowding in the same way as the other rats did．．However leading males did behave pathologically at times．Their antisocial（反社会）behavior consisted of attacks on weaker male，female，and immature rats．This unusual behavior showed that even though the leading males had enough living space，they too were affected by the general overcrowding．
    Non-leading males in the experimental rat communities also exhibited unusual social behavior．Some withdrew（缩回） completely ,avoiding contact with other rats．Other non-leading males were too active，chasing other rats and fighting each other．
    The behavior of the rat population has similarity in human behavior．People in densely（密） populated areas exhibit unusual behavior similar to that of the rats in Calhoun’s experiments．In large urban areas，such as New York City，London，and Cairo，there are deserted children．There are cruel，powerful individuals，both men and women．There are also people who withdraw and people who become too active．Is the major cause of these disorders（混乱）overpopulation?
    Calhoun’s experiments suggest that it might be．In any case，social scientists and city planners have been influenced by the results of this series of experiments．
    小题1:Which of the following inferences（推断）can NOT be made from the first paragraph?
    A．Overpopulation causes pathological behavior in rat populations．
    B．Calhoun had experimented with rats before．
    C．Calhoun’s experiment is still considered important today
    D．Stress does not occur in rat communities unless there is overcrowding．
    小题2:The author implies that the behavior of the leading male rats is sometimes similar to that of
    A．people who would like to keep to themselves
    B．people who abandon their children
    C．too active people
    D．cruel，powerful people
    小题3:The main point of this passage is that _______________．
    A．although rats are affected by overcrowding，people are not
    B．overcrowding may be an important cause of social pathology
    C．the social behavior of rats is seriously affected by overcrowding
    D．Calhoun's experiments have influenced many people

    The use of the mobile Internet in Britain grew eight times as fast as the growth of the PC Internet, according to the latest study from research firm Nielsen Online. Of course, the actual number of Britons surfing the PC Internet is much higher. A recent report found that from April to September in 2008, the number of Britons using the mobile Internet increased by 25 percent, from 5.8 million to 7.3 million. However, the number of Britons surfing the PC Internet is 35.5 million, up only 3 percent. As expected, the report found that the mobile online audiences are younger than the PC-based users, with 25 percent of mobile Internet users aged 15-24 years old, compared to 16 percent for PC-based users. Also as expected, there are more people aged over 55 surfing the PC Internet (23 percent) than those on the mobile Internet (12 percent). This last figure —12 percent of those aged over 55 surfing the mobile Internet, however, surprised me because I had expected to be lower. Mobile audiences are interested in sites that can provide immediate information, or immediate access like BBC News, Google Search, Sky Sports, BBC Weather and G-mail. BBC News is visited by nearly one in four British mobile Internet users, or 1.7 million people. Three of the most popular sites, BBC Weather, Sky Sports and G-mail, actually have a greater reach on the mobile Internet than they do on the PC Internet. BBC Weather gets 21 percent of all mobile users with 17 percent on the PC-based Internet.
    44. According to the first paragraph, the majority of Britons are_______.
    A. surfing the mobile Internet
    B. surfing the PC Internet
    C. taking part in the research
    D. studying on the mobile Internet
    45. The underlined words "PC-based users" in the second paragraph refer to "people ________".
    A. using personal computers
    B. surfing the mobile Internet
    C. repairing personal computers
    D. making personal computers
    46. According the report, which of the following statements is NOT true?
    A. Some people who are over 55 like to surf the PC Internet.
    B. BBC News is very popular with the mobile audience.
    C. BBC Weather gets more mobile users than PC-based users.
    D. Only young people like to use the mobile Internet.
    47. Which of the following is the best title of this passage?
    A. Most Popular Web Sites In Britain
    B. Fast Growth Of Mobile Internet In Britain
    C. Young People Prefer the Mobile Internet
    D. Old People Also Like the Mobile Internet
