    When I was a child, I often dreamed of the time when I could leave home and escape to the city. We lived on a farmstead, in the winter especially, we wear quite out off from the outside world. As soon as I left school, I packed my bags and moved to the capital. However, I soon discovered that city life has its problems too.
    One big disadvantage is money. It costs so much to go out, not to mention basics like food and housing. Another disadvantage is pollution. I suffer from asthma（哮喘）, and at times the air is so dirty that I am afraid to go outside. Then there is the problem of traveling round. Although I have a car, I seldom use it because of the traffic jams. One choice is to go by bicycle, but that can be quite dangerous.
    Of course there are advantages. First, there is so much to do in the city, whatever your tastes in culture or entertainment. Besides, there are wonderful jobs and greater chances of moving to a more important job or position. Finally, if you like shopping, the variety of goods is very surprising - and, what is more, shops are often only a short walk away.
    Is life better then, in the city? Perhaps it is, when you are in your teens or twenties. However, as you get older, and especially if you have small children, the peace of the countryside may seem preferable. I certainly hope to move back there soon.
    小题1:What was the writer always thinking about when he was a child?
    A．Staying on the farm.B．Moving to the countryside.
    C．Leaving home for the city.D．Running away from the school.
    小题2:Which of the following is true about the writer?
    A．He is very old now.B．He is in good health.
    C．He prefers driving a car.D．He lives in the city now.
    小题3:In the passage, the writer tries to _________.
    A．express his opinions about way of life
    B．describe his life in the countryside
    C．show an interest in the outside world
    D．persuade the reader to live in the city
    小题4:How is the passage mainly developed?
    A．By inferring.B．By comparing.
    C．By listing examples.D．By giving explanations.

    How to improve my life? Many people think that they have to accept whatever life throws at them. They'll say, "This is my fate, my destiny. I cannot change it."
    Of course not! You don't have to suffer needlessly. Your destiny depends on you, not on any other external factors.
    I know someone who says she just accepts what life gives her because she has done everything she can to improve it. Guess what her lifestyle is? She wakes up in the morning, goes to work, comes back home, relaxes, chats with people, watches TV, then goes to sleep. Next day, the same routine cycle follows.
    Huh! Is this what she calls "doing her best"? She believes she has tried her best and just accepts it in her heart that this is the life that God has intended for her to live; that her luck can only change if God wills it.  Of course God wants us to be happy and live our life to the fullest, but we have to do our share of exerting(运用) the effort to live the life of our dreams.
    Remember that you reap what you sow. You just don't sit around and wait for a million dollars to fall from the sky. You have to get off the couch, get your eyes off the TV screen, get your hands off the phone. Don’t expect your luck to change unless you do something about it. If something goes wrong, don't just regard it as a temporary setback; but use it as feedback. Learn your lesson, make the most of the situation, and do something to solve the problem. It's not enough to think positively; you also have to act positively.
    If someone's life is in the trouble, do you just hope and pray that things will turn out fine? Of course not! You get to do anything you can to save the person. So it is with your own life. It is not enough to hope for the best, but you have to do your best. In other words, don't just stand (or sit ) there, do something to improve your life.
    小题1:According to the woman mentioned in Para.3, her life ____________. 
    A．Doesn't need improvingB．couldn't be improved
    C．will be better some dayD．Will be worse in the future
    小题2:What does the author think of the woman's life?
    A．positiveB．satisfyingC．colorfulD．passive
    小题3:Which of the following statements is the author's opinion?
    A．Your temporary problem is not discouraging.
    B．Your luck can be changed by your efforts
    C．You can only achieve success when God wills it.
    D．You should treat yourself in the way you treat friends.
    小题4:In Para.5, the author emphasized the importance of _____________.
    A．positive actionB．positive thinkingC．hope for the bestD．intention to succeed
    小题5:The text is mainly written to advise you to ____________.
    A．understand yourselfB．improve your life
    C．believe in yourselfD．change your normal way

      Does your pet have a slim figure? According to the Association of Pet Obesity Prevention (APOP), about half of all dogs and nearly 60% of all indoor cats are overweight. Larry Kornegay, president of the American Veterinary Medical Association, says he sees an overweight pet nearly every day, and unusually the owner is overweight. So talking about the topic can be touchy. “I talk about their pet’s health. Still, some clients take it personally.”
    Here are some tips for pet weight loss:
    See the vet(兽医). Have your vet put together a plan and treat any existing medical problems. Pain relief and diet changes may be required for arthritic(患关节炎的) pets, which will allow for exercise to at least begin.
    Skip the crash diet (an attempt to lose weight quickly by strictly limiting the diet). A special weight-loss diet may be suggested. For example, look for the supplement which burns fat and builds muscle mass in foods. Never place any pet on a crash diet, especially cats, which can suffer a potentially fatal liver disease as a result. There’s a safe weight-loss drug for dogs you can ask your vet about.
    Dine alone. “Cut out treats and resist temptation by keeping pets out of the room you’re dining in,” says Chicago vet Sheldon Rubin. You can buy low-calorie treats for dogs and cats. Rubin also recommends mini carrots, small apple slices or blueberries for dogs. What’s important is finding other ways, aside from food, to show your love. Play with your cat using an interactive toy, and take your dog for walks. Walks are great for bonding, and good for you. Studies show people are actually more willing to lose weight themselves if it also will help their pet.
    Feed pets at special times. Pre-measure food carefully—don’t give them a larger meal than ever—and leave it in various places, so pets sniff it out and use the stairs. It’s fun, and it’s good exercise.
    小题1:. The underlined word “touchy” in Paragraph 1 probably means__________
    A．sensitiveB．excitingC．movingD．pleasant
    小题2:. What can be inferred from the passage?
    A．Overweight people usually like overweight pets.
    B．Pets’ weight is easier to lose than humans’.
    C．Cats have a greater chance of serious liver disease.
    D．Overweight people often ignore their pets’ weight.
    小题3: Which of the following methods is healthy for your pets?
    A．Providing them with mini carrots or blueberries.
    B．Keeping them with you when you’re dining.
    C．Supplying them with larger meals or drinks.
    D．Leaving the food in a fixed place for your pets.
    小题4:. What does the passage mainly tell us?
    A．How to feed pets without a crash diet.
    B．The importance of pet weight loss.
    C．How to help pets lose weight.
    D．The problems that pets will meet.

    Why must we pay taxes? The answer is that the government needs money for many things, for example to pay its soldiers, sailors and airmen, to build roads, bridges, offices, schools, etc and to buy goods from abroad; and only the people of the country can supply the money．One of the most important taxes is income-tax which a person pays according to the amount of his income-tax．Whether he is a businessman, a doctor, a lawyer, a shopkeeper, a miner, or anything else．This is called a “direct” tax, because it is paid in money direct to the government．
    Another tax is paid on goods such as watches, jewellery, new clothes, tobacco, wine, etc, when they are brought into a country, such a tax is paid as part of the price of these goods if they are later sold in shops．We call it “indirect” tax, because it is paid indirectly through the shopkeeper．
    People usually complain about having to pay taxes, but they forget that the money is spent on the things that they and their families need．We need policemen to catch thieves, to see that men obey the laws, to direct traffic, etc, and they must be paid what they earn; children need education and there must be schools and teachers; we want our streets to be kept clean, and the wages of men who do this kind of work have to be paid．Above all, the country must always be ready to defend itself against attacking enemies, and we cannot have an army without paying for it．
    Taxes, therefore, cannot be avoided．We buy our own food and clothes and pay for our own amusements, but there are several things that the State finds the money for, and that are necessary for us if our society is to continue．So we have no real cause to complain when we are asked to supply money to be spent for the good of ourselves and for our fellow-citizens．
    小题1:Indirect tax means _______．
    A．tax that one pays direct to the government
    B．tax that is not paid directly to the government
    C．tax that is paid as an extra amount added to the price of certain goods
    D．Both B and C
    小题2:Which of the following is right?
    A．Taxes are paid to the sellers．
    B．Income-tax is an indirect tax．
    C．The tax on new clothes is paid in money direct to the government．
    D．Tax is amount of money that you have to pay to the government so that it can pay for public services．
    小题3:People have no real reason to complain about having to pay taxes because _______．
    A．some shopkeepers are very rich
    B．they need money to buy goods from abroad
    C．their children need education
    D．the money is spent on the things that they and their families need

    During the twentieth century, cars, electric lights, space travel and amazing advances in medicine changed people’s lives. So what might this new century bring? There are hundreds of predictions flying around — let’s have a light-hearted look at some of them.
    In a recent UK survey, teenagers were asked to make predictions about the year 2020. One of the most common predictions was that school uniforms won’t be around. They also predicted that both girls and boys will wear make-up more often, and more than 75% of men will wear skirts regularly. My dad is 65 next Saturday — I think I’ll buy him a skirt as a birthday present and tell him he’ll soon be in fashion!
    Other predictions involve changing roles of men and women. By 2017, some people say that single men of working age will form more than 10% of all families. It is also predicted that washing powder advertisements will include more men because more of them will do housework. I’ll tell that to my husband when he gets home and see how keen he is to wash the dishes!
    Many predictions are about crime and safety problems. Some people think that crime will improve and the world will become a more peaceful place. Others believe that crime is going to worsen and that people will stay at home becoming completely dependent on the Internet for shopping and work. It is also predicted that you will need an electronic card to get into parks as parents demand safe play areas for their children. This is old news for me --- our local government is going to introduce one this summer.
    Technology is predicted to play an even more important role in our lives in the future. Some parents might have cameras at home so they can keep an eye on their children while they are out. Quick, kids, turn off the TV and do your homework!
    Here’s another prediction. Researchers have concluded that cultural activity may add years to your life. The cinema, theatre and concerts may give us a longer life because they encourage strong feelings. Well, we’re watching Bridget Jones’ Diary this Friday night. Will that help us live longer?
    Let’s finish up with my favourite prediction. In the future, elderly people are going to make up a larger proportion of the world’s population than ever before. In Britain, an estimated 100,000 people now in their thirties may live to be 100. And that includes me! I’ll have a big, big party, I promise!
    小题1: The writer’s father ________ .
    A．has just turned sixty-five
    B．wears skirts
    C．is very fashionable
    D．is about to turn sixty-five
    小题2:Why might more men do housework in the future?
    A．Washing powder advertisements suggest it.
    B．Men won’t want to work in offices any more.
    C．Traditional roles of men and women will change.
    D．Women will refuse to wash the dishes.
    小题3:According to the passage, people might ________ , if crime worsens.
    A．need electronic cards to get into their homes
    B．stay at home and depend on the Internet
    C．help to make the world a more peaceful place
    D．work harder and make more money
    小题4:Which of the following is NOT true？
    A．It’s likely that the writer is to live to be 100.
    B．The writer promises that she is going to hold a big, big party soon.
    C．Without an electronic card, you can’t get into a park freely in the future.
    D．The writer holds a positive attitude towards the changes in the new century.
    小题5:From the passage, we may infer that the writer is probably ____ .
    A．a professional news reporter.
    B．a young and attractive sales girl.
    C．a middle-aged British housewife.
    D．a responsible government official.

    No one wants to look stupid or do the wrong thing at a new job. It is important to make the right impression from the very first day. You will face new people. You will be in a new place.
    It may be difficult to know what to do. Here are five tips to help you make it through the first days at a new job:
    1. First impressions can last forever. Make sure you make a good one. Before your first day, find out if your new job has a dress code (rules about what you can wear to work). If so, be sure to follow it. No matter what, always be neat and clean.
    2. Get to work on time. Give yourself an extra15 minutes to make sure you arrive on time.
    3. Pay attention to introductions. One of the first things that your supervisor may do is to introduce you to co-workers. These co-workers will be important to you. They are the ones who will answer your questions when the boss is not around.
    4. Ask plenty of questions. Make sure that your supervisor has told you what is expected of you. If he or she has not told you your duties, ask for a list. Set daily and weekly goals for yourself.
    5. Never be the first one to leave. Observe(观察) what your co-workers do around quitting time (下班时间). It does not look good for you to be eager to leave.
