    People bury treasure to stop other people from taking it. They choose a quiet place, dig a deep hole and bury the treasure in it. Then they make a map of where the treasure is or write down other clues（线索）that will help them or someone else to find it again.
    In Britain a few years ago, a writer wrote about some treasure that he had buried. He put clues in the story to help readers find it. Thousands of people hunted for the treasure. They dug holes all over Britain, hoping to find it.
    One of the most popular adventure stories ever written is Robert Louis Stephenson's “Treasured Island”, an exciting story about a young boy, Jim Hawkins, who is captured by pirates (海盗) and later finds some buried treasure.
    Then there is the true story about a man who had to travel overseas for a year. He did not trust banks, so he buried his life savings in a park. Then he went away. On his return, he went straight to the park. But the park was no longer there. In its place there was a huge building.
    And then there was the man who buried his savings, all in bank notes, in a waterproof（防水的）bag. When he dug it up years later, there was nothing left. Worms and insects had eaten the bag and everything in it.
    And of course, these are stories about people who bury things and either forget where they have buried them or lose the map.
    Although it is true that people sometimes lose their money because a bank fails, banks are still the safest place to keep our savings and treasures.
    小题1:

    A．do not trust banks
    B．have a little money .

    C．had lost his treasure and wanted people to help him find it.
    D．caused trouble because people dug holes everywhere.
    小题3:
    . “Treasure Island”       .
    A．is a story about pirates.
    B．is about the adventures of Jim Hawkins.
    C．is the most popular story ever written.
    D．is a well-known fairy tale.
    小题4:
    The man who buried his money in a park       .
    A．thought his money was safer there than in a bank.
    B．travelled on the sea for a year.
    C．got his life savings back again.
    D．stayed away longer than he expected.
    小题5:
    From these stories we understand that       .
    A．we cannot trust banks.
    B．we should not trust anyone.
    C．a waterproof bag is not proof against worms and insects.
    D．insects eat anything.

    American parents usually think that their child should not have more pocket money than the children with whom he regularly connects, even if they are wealthier．But neither are children expected to compare with the richer if a large family, heavy responsibilities, or other conditions make it necessary to give a child less spending money than is customary （惯例的）in the neighborhood．
    Whatever the pocket money is, its entire use is not controlled by the parents, because a child learns to use money correctly only through dealing with it himself．If a seven-year-old child gets a quarter as a week pocket money and is made to put it all in his piggy bank to save it up, he gets no idea what the real use for the money is．He gets the shiny coins and they soon disappear．
    The idea of a bank account is too early for so small a child, although he can be made to understand and enjoy saving his coins—not all of them, only a part of what he receives—to buy something he especially wants．By the time he is eight he is old enough to take part in the opening of his own savings account, parents may take him to the bank, open a savings account for him and encourage him to put a certain quantity or any checks he receives as gifts into the bank and watch his bank savings grow as entry by entry（存入） is made．
    He will be saving, earning, and spending suitable quantities all along in order to learn how to manage money and to keep him in a favorable position with his friend．The boy who can't join his fellows in a sweet shop once in a while, because he has to save every cent he gets or earns for some big unknown project his parents have chosen for him, is a sorry child．
    小题1:Choose the best exolaration for the underlined part in the second paragraph.
    A．It is a kind of bank run by children．
    B．It is a contralre in the shape of a pig for saving coins.
    C．It is a certain place in which pigs are raise．
    D．It is a bank whose building looks like a pig
    小题2:Which of the following statements is TRUE?
    A．Most of the rich people in America give children much pocket money．
    B．American children usually have their bank accounts until they are eight．
    C．American parents seldom care for their children's spending money．
    D．American children begin to learn how to manage money when very young．
    小题3:Suppose an 8-year-old child receives 10 dollars as his birthday gift, he may probably ____．
    A．spend the money on the things he wants
    B．compare the gift with that of his friend
    C．have most of it saved in the bank
    D．put all the money in his piggy bank
    小题4:Why does the writer think the boy is a sorry one if he saves every cent he gets or earns?
    A．Because he can not manage his money and is kept himself in an unfavorable position
    B．Because he can not join the fellows in a sweet shop once in a while
    C．Because he can not learn the use of money through spending it himself
    D．Because he can not have any other choice but save, earn of spend money

    Workplaces all over the UK are preparing for Christmas and all the traditions and customs that come with it. But will this Christmas be a cause of happiness and celebration, or of disappointment and embarrassment?
    At this time of year, colleges show their appreciation of each other by doing a “Secret Santa”. Secret Santa involves people who work together buying gifts for each other without saying who they are from.
    Co-workers all write their names on pieces of paper, then organize a lottery in which each worker picks a colleague’s name at random. He then has to buy a present for that colleague, usually on a small budget of five or ten pounds.
    Since the givers are unknown, the quality of presents can vary greatly. In an Internet survey of Secret Santa presents, the gifts that people received range from tickets to the opera to an air freshener for a car.
    Another common workplace tradition is the office Christmas party, at which workmates put on their best clothes and enjoy lots of free wine.
    Most parties go without a hitch, but sometimes the alcohol cause party-goers to behave in a way that they later regret.
    The BBC invited people to share their most embarrassing Christmas office party stories, and received hundreds of funny ones. For example, a man split his trousers while dancing; a drunken lady spent the whole night with the edge of her dress folded into her pants, and later looked at photos that proved it at work.
    But the funniest story must be that of Stuart Vanies, who got so drunk that he put his boss’s head into the toilet. Unsurprisingly, he was fired the very next day.
    小题1: How many Christmas traditions are mentioned?
    A．One.B．Two.C．Three.D．Four.
    小题2: We learn from this article that for Christmas ____________________.
    A．few people buy presents for their colleagues in Britain
    B．British workers write their names on the presents they give their colleagues
    C．people usually give their colleagues presents of high quality
    D．British workers buy their presents based on an agreed budget
    小题3:The underlined phrase “without a hitch” in the sixth paragraph means _______________.
    A．quite smoothlyB．without a result
    C．with some difficultyD．quite unexpectedly
    小题4:The examples in the last two paragraphs are to ______________________.
    A．show that most British people enjoy drinking wine
    B．advise readers not to drink wine at parties
    C．prove that funny things often happen at office Christmas parties
    D．criticize the bad habits of the British

    Mistreat(虐待) your animals and someone might take them from you.
    Allen (not his real name) is driving north out of Virginia in the middle of the night，with stolen property in the back of his van.But Allen isn’t a criminal—in fact he normally would never dream of breaking the law.
    The “property” he stole is a dog he calls Flash.Allen doesn’t particularly want Flash in fact，in a few hours he’ll drop him off at a stranger’s house and never see him again.“I couldn’t just stand by and do nothing，”he explains.“The owner was plainly neglecting (忽视) the dog，but the police wouldn’t do anything about it.”
    For over a year，Flash had been tied to a tree in front of someone’s house.“He was sick and weak，”says Allen.“More than once I saw the owner kick him for no reason at all.”Allen had repeatedly tried to get the owner to take better care of the animal，or to give it away to someone who would.Finally，he took matters into his own hands—in the dead of night，he took Flash off his chain and drove away with him.
    An hour later，Flash had a new license and he_was_treated_by_a_veterinarian_who_knew_better_than_to_ask_questions.
    Pictures of the dog were put up on animal rescue websites，asking for someone to adopt the dog.A couple in New York offered to take the dog，and animal lovers in states along the way agreed to provide transportation.
    Nobody can say for sure how many animals like Flash are “rescued” every year；receiving stolen property is a crime，so rescuers tend to stay in the shadows.But a growing number of empty collars are because of their work as more and more animals find their way to loving homes.
    小题1:Why did Allen steal the dog?
    A．He liked the dog very much.
    B．He wanted to stop the dog being treated badly.
    C．He is a criminal who likes stealing dogs.
    D．Someone ordered him to do that.
    小题2:What had Allen ever done for the dog before stealing him?
    A．Finding a new owner for him.
    B．In the dead of night，taking him off his chain and drove away with him.
    C．Kicking him for no reason at all.
    D．Asking the owner to treat the dog better or give it to someone else.
    小题3:How did Allen help the dog find a new owner?
    A．By putting advertisements on TV.
    B．By asking the Animals Protection Association for help.
    C．By asking for help on the Internet.
    D．By putting up signs on the street.
    小题4:What can we infer from the underlined sentence in the fifth paragraph?
    A．The veterinarian had treated many animals that were mistreated by their owners.
    B．The veterinarian had once stolen some animals like Flash before.
    C．The veterinarian was Allen’s friend.
    D．The veterinarian was a learned man.

    Choosing a nice mountain bike for you is easier than learning how to ride it. Keep these tips in mind：
    Decide how you are going to use your new mountain bike.
    Are you a new rider who simply wants to travel outdoors on the weekend，weather permitting？Do you intend to test yourself on the rough roads，every day，rain or shine？Or are you going to use your new mountain bike to ride to and from school or work？Be honest about your intentions，and you’re more than half way toward choosing the right mountain bike for you.
    Visit your local bike shops.
    Any good bike shop will stock a wide range of quality mountain bikes in all price points and sizes. Your local bike shops will carry more than one brand of bicycle. Not only will they sell you a mountain bike that suits your needs，but they will service what they sell. Visit at least a few shops. You’ll get one that satisfies you right away.
    Don’t be bashful.
    Tell your salesperson how you intend to use your new mountain bike，and how much you are willing to spend. Your salesperson will show you a selection of models and brands accordingly. He or she will also help you determine the right size for you. You may ask more without any sense of shyness.
    Take a test ride.
    All good bike shops let customers take test rides. There’s a good reason for this beyond “try­before­you­buy” salesmanship. Since you already know your price range and find the right size，you now have to find out which brand you ride best. They want you to be happy with your purchase. After only a few test rides from more than one bike shop，the right mountain bike will choose you.
    小题1:
    What would be the best title for the text?
    A．How to Choose a Mountain Bike
    B．How to Ride a Mountain Bike
    C．Where to Ride Your Local Bike
    D．Why to Take a Test Ride
    小题2:
    The main purpose of visiting bike shops is________.
    A．to share happiness with the salesperson
    B．to seek a wide range of quality
    C．to get a mountain bike that satisfies you
    D．to service your new mountain bike
    小题3:
    The underlined word “bashful” means________.
    A．coldB．pitifulC．shyD．helpful
    小题4:
    Which of the following is probably the author’s attitude towards “try­before­you­buy” salesmanship?
    A．Honorable.B．Favorable.C．Negative.D．Suspicious(怀疑的).

    In most people’s opinion, the tiger is not an animal that we would ordinarily think of as being chicken. However, one tiger, which lives in an English zoo, turned out to be more cowardly( 胆小的) than his keepers could ever have imagined.
    Tanvir, a two-year-old Bengal tiger, got stuck at the top of a new 5m-high activity tower in the zoo, after climbing it for the first time.
    The wooden tower had been designed to provide mental exercise for Tanvir by testing his ability of dealing with troublesome situations, but after climbing it in just a few seconds, he lost his courage when it came to coming back down. Tanvir went on to spend nearly two days at the top of the tower trying to collect the courage to attempt to get down.
    A spokesperson for the zoo said that several days before Tanvir had taken half an hour to get down a lower tower only 1.5m high, and the taller tower had clearly been too much challenging for him.
    “Every time he got to the edge, he looked out, put a paw over, and thought, ‘no, I cannot make it!’”laughed Samantha Cordrey, Tanvir’s keeper. In the end Tanvir’s hunger defeated his fear, and after almost 48 hours he made his way down. Burying himself in a big meal just like a hungry pig, Tanvir seemed to forget such a shameful experience for a while.
    It appears that his experience would not be the worst in Tanvir’s life if he continued to act like a chicken. It is not known whether he will take courage to go back up his exercise tower again.
    The whole episode(插曲) only serves to show the difficulties faced by zoo staff in creating environments that will improve animals’ living ability in enclosed space.
    小题1:When speaking of Tanvir’s shameful experience, Samantha Cordrey might feel it was_____.
    A．funnyB．surprisingC．excitingD．unbelievable
    小题2:What made Tanvir get down the 5m-high activity tower at last?
    A．The coldness of the weather.B．The direction from his keepers.
    C．The sufferings of being hungryD．The fear of being alone
    小题3: Why does the author say “this experience would not be the worst in Tanvir’s life if…”(Paragraph 6)?
    A．Because Tanvir’s keepers will design more difficult exercise for him.
    B．Because Tanvir is so cowardly that he has little courage to meet greater
    challenges.
    C．Because Tanvir’s bad health will bring him much trouble in practice.
    D．Because Tanvir is always careless and often causes trouble by accident.
    小题4: The zoo designed the 5m-high activity tower to______.
    A．make Tanvir become brave
    B．improve Tanvir’s performance skills
    C．let tourists watch Tanvir better
    D．improve Tanvir’s living ability
