    If there is something that appears most frequently on Chinese dining tables, it is doufu—beancurd. Beancurd looks like soft cakes and it’s made from dried soybeans. Beancurd used to be considered a favourite of the poor because of its low cost.

       When I lived in Spain, some Spanish friends of mine decided to visit England by car. Before they left, they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation. I suggested that they should stay at “bed and breakfast” houses, because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family. My friends listened to my advice, but they came back with some funny stories.
    “We didn’t stay at bed and breakfast houses,” they said, “because we found that most families were away on holiday.”
    I thought this was strange. Finally I understood what had happened. My friends spoke little English, and they thought “VACANCIES” meant “holidays”, because the Spanish word for “holidays” is “vacaciones”. So they did not go to house where the sign outside said “VACABCUES”, which in English means there are free rooms. Then my friends went to house where the sign said “NO VACANCIES”, because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday. But they found that these houses were all full. As a result, they stayed at hotels!
    We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs. In Spanish, the word “DIVERSION” means fun. In English, it means that workmen are repairing the road, and that you must take a different road. When my friends saw the word ‘DIVERSION’ on a road sign, they thought they were going to have fun. Instead, the road ended in a large hole.
    English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages. Once in Paris, when someone offered me some more coffee, I said “Thank you” in French. I meant that I would like some more. However, to my surprise the coffee pot was taken away! Later I found out that “Thank you” in French means “No, thank you.”
    小题1: My Spanish friends wanted advice about __________.
    A．learning English
    B．finding places to stay in England
    C．driving their car on English roads
    D．going to England by car
    小题2: I suggested that they stay at “bed and breakfast” houses because__________.
    A．they would be able to practise their English
    B．it would be much cheaper than staying in hotels
    C．it would be convenient for them to have dinner
    D．there would be no problem about finding accommodation there
    小题3:“NO VACANCIES” in English means__________.
    A．no free roomsB．free rooms
    C．not away on holidayD．holidays

    A．fall into a hole
    B．have a lot of fun and enjoy yourself
    C．find that the road is blocked by crowds of people
    D．have to take a different road

    A．didn’t really want any more coffee
    B．wanted them to take the coffee pot away

    Students and Technology in the Classroom
    I love my blackberry—it’s my little connection to the larger world that can go anywhere with me . I also love my laptop computer ，as it holds all of my writing and thought .Despite this love of technology ,I know that there are times when I need to move away from these device and truly communication with others.On occasion ,I teach a course called History Matters for a group of higher education managers. My goals for the class include a full discussion of historical themes and ideas .Because I want students to thoroughly study the material and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom ,I have a rule —no laptop ,ipads ,phones ,etc .When students were told my rule in advance of the class, some of them were not happy .
    Most students assume that year reasons for this rule include unpleasant experiences in the past with students misusing technology . There’s a bit of truth to that.Some students assume that I am anti-technology . There’s no truth in that at all . I love technology and try to keep up with it so I relate to my students.
    The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is that I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversions and truly engage complex ideas. Interruptions by technology often break concentration and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas . I want students to think differently and make connections between the course the material and the class discussion .
    I’ve been teaching my history class in this way for many years and the educations reflect student satisfaction with the environment that I create .Students realize that with deep conversation and challenge , they learn at a level that helps them keep the course material beyond the classroom .
    I’m not saying that I won’t ever change my mind about technology use in my history class, but until I hear a really good reason for the change ,I’m sticking to my plan. a few hours of technology-free dialogue is just too give up.
    小题1:
    some of the students in the history class were unhappy with____
    A．the course materialB．others’ misuse of technology
    C．discussion topicsD．the author’s class regulator
    小题2:
    the underlined word “engage ”in para.4 probably means ____
    A．exploreB．acceptC．changeD．reject
    小题3:
    according to the author ,the use of technology in the classroom may ____
    A．keep students from doing independent thinking
    B．encourage students to have in-depth conversations
    C．help students to better understand complex themes
    D．affect students’ concentration on course evaluation
    小题4:
    it can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author ____
    A．is quite stubborn
    B．will give up teaching history
    C．will change his teaching plan soon
    D．values technology-free dialogues in his class

    A popular saying goes, “Sticks and stone may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” However, that’s not really true. Words have the power to build us up or tear us down. It doesn’t matter if the words come from someone else or ourselves – the positive and negative effects are just as lasting.
    We all talk to ourselves sometimes. We’re usually too embarrassed to admit it, though. But we really shouldn’t be, because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit.
    This “self-talk” helps us motivate ourselves, remember things, solves problems, and calm ourselves down. Beware, though, that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative. So in order to stay positive, we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves. We should also be quick to give ourselves a pat on the back. The next time you finish a project, do well in a test, or finally clean your room, join me in saying, “Good job!”
    Words possess power because of their lasting effects. Many of us regret something we once said. And we remember unkind words said to us! Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: Is it true? Is it loving? Is it needed? If what we want to say doesn’t pass this test, then it’s better left unsaid.
    Words possess power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. We can offer hope, build self-esteem(自尊) and motive others to do their best. Negative words destroy all those things. Will we use our words to hurt or to heal? The choice is ours.
    小题1:The author argues in the first paragraph that ________.
    A．words will never hurt us at all
    B．words have lasting effects on us
    C．positive effects last longer than negative effects
    D．negative words last longer than positive effects
    小题2:Why should we not feel embarrassed when talking to ourselves?
    A．Almost everybody has the habit of talking to oneself.
    B．It does harm to have “self-talk” when we are alone.
    C．Talking to ourselves helps us to solve all the problems.
    D．Talking to ourselves is believed to be good for our health.
    小题3:The underlined phrase “give ourselves a pat on the back” in Paragraph 3 means _________.
    A．blame ourselvesB．punish ourselves
    C．praise ourselvesD．talk to ourselves
    小题4:Which of the following statements would the author agree to?
    A．It is better to think twice before talking to others.
    B．It is impossible for unkind words to be forgotten.
    C．Words always possess long positive effects.
    D．Kind words are sometimes not needed at all.

    Every culture has a recognized (公认的) point when a child becomes an adult, when rules must be followed and tests passed.
    In China, although teenagers can get their ID cards at 16, many only see themselves as an adult when they are 18. In the US, where everyone drives, the main step to the freedom of adult life is learning to drive. At 16, American teens take their driving test. When they have their license, they drive into the grown-up world.
    “Nobody wants to ride the bus to school,” said Eleanor Fulham, 17. She remembered the pressure, especially from kids from richer families. “It’s like you’re not cool if you don’t have a car,” she said.
    According to recent research, 41% of 16 to 19-year-olds in the US own cars, up from 23% in 1985. Although, most of these cars are bought by parents, some teens get part-time jobs to help pay.
    Not all families will buy cars for their children. In cities with subways (地铁) and limited parking, some teenagers don’t want them. But in rich suburban (郊区的) areas without subways, and where bicycles are more for fun than transportation, it is strange for a teenager not to have a car.
    But police say 16-year-olds have almost three times more accidents than 18 and 19-year-olds. This has made many parents think carefully before letting their kids drive.
    Julie Sussman, of Virginia, decided that her son Chad, 15, will wait until he is 17.
    Chad said he has accepted his parents’ decision, although it has caused some teasing (奚落) from his friends. “They say that I am unlucky,” he said. “But I’d rather be alive than driving, and I don’t really trust my friends on the road either.”
    In China as more families get cars, more 18-year-olds learn to drive. Will this become a big step to becoming an adult?
    小题1:The story is mainly about _______.
    A．the recognized point between childhood and adulthood
    B．American teens want to drive a car when they turn 16
    C．whether teenagers should have a car
    D．the fact that it’s safer for teens to drive a car at an younger age
    小题2: Which of the following is not one of the reasons that kids want to have a car?
    A．With a car, it would be easy to move around.
    B．A great number of teenagers have cars.
    C．Having a car would mean more excitement.
    D．Parents’ support for kids to have a car at an early age.
    小题3:.Which of the following is not true?
    A．Some of Chad’s friends have cars.
    B．When deciding whether to buy a car for their kids, safety weighs heavily on many parents’ mind.
    C．In the US, 16 is considered the point between childhood and adulthood.
    D．More kids from cities own cars than those from the countryside.
    小题4:The word “license” in Paragraph 2 means closest to ______.
    A．driving permit B．ID card C．learner’s permit D．test result

    Most people think that the capital of the movie world is Hollyhood, in the United States. However, the real movie capital is Mumbai, in India. Mumbai used to be known as Bombay, and so the film industry there is called “Bollywood.” Bollywood makes twice as many movies each year as Hollyhood—more than 800 films a year.
    The movies from Bollywood are very different from Hollywood movies. For one thing, Bollywood movies are much longer than most Hollywood movies. Most Bollywood movies are more than three hours long, and contain singing, dancing, action, adventure, mystery, and romance (but usually no kissing). Because Bollywood films contain so many different features, this style of film is sometimes called a “masala” film. (“Masala” is an Indian word for a mixture of spices.)
    Another big difference between Bollywood and Hollywood movies is the way movies are made. It takes much longer to make a movie in Hollywood than in Bollywood. In fact, filming may begin on a Bollywood movie before the script even finished. The director and writers can make up the story while the film is being made. Sometimes they will even write the script by hand instead of taking time to type it.
    Bollywood actors are very popular and some are in such high demand that they may work on several movies at the same time. They may even shoot scenes for several films on the same day using the same costumes and scenery. Since most Bollywood movies follow the same kind of story, shooting scenes for several films at the same time is not a big problem for actors or directors. This also helps keep the cost of Bollywood movies lower than the cost of Hollywood movies. The average Bollywood film, with a budget of only two million U.S. dollars, seems very cheap compared to the average budget of sixty million U.S. dollars for a Hollywood film—thirty times as much!
    小题1:What is the main topic of the reading?
    A．famous stars in BollywoodB．how Hollywood movies are made
    C．the differences between two movie industriesD．the history of movie-making in India
    小题2:What is NOT true about Mumbai?
    A．It is the movie capital of India.
    B．The new name is Bombay.
    C．More movies are made there than in Hollywood.
    D．It is less expensive to make films there than in Hollywood.
    小题3: Why are Bollywood films often called “masala” films?
    A．They have spicy stories.B．They show Indian culture.
    C．They are much longer than Hollywood films.D．They mix different styles of movies.
    小题4: Bollywood movies are cheap to make because ____________________ .
    A．they are shorter than Hollywood films.
    B．the scripts are written by hand.
    C．the movies do not use any special effects.
    D．each movie reuses things from other movies.
    小题5:Which of these statements would the writer probably agree with?
    A．Most Bollywood movies are very similar.
    B．It takes a lot of money to make a good movie.
    C．Only Indian people can understand Bollywood movies.
    D．Hollywood movies are too violent.

    Chinese tradition says a different animal represents each new year of the 12-year Chinese Zodiac(黄道十二宫) cycle. According to the Chinese calendar, the year you were born may determine your personality. Every year of this cycle is represented by an animal, and legend has it that people born under that animal have certain personality traits. Here are some of them:
    Dragon
    The Real Thing: The mythical dragon is a symbol of power and good fortune in Chinese culture. One of the most popular figures in Chinese art, the dragon is believed to be a combination of nine animals, including a frog, a tiger, an eagle, and a fish.
    Born a Dragon: You go out of your way to help your friends, who often seek you out for advice. Your outgoing personality helps you get along with many types of people.
    Snake
    The Real Thing: Snakes have great instincts. Some “play dead” to fool predators（捕食者）, and most sense prey by detecting ground vibration（震动）. They can take more than an hour to swallow a meal, and they become inactive for up to two weeks before they shed their skin.
    Born a Snake: You rely on yourself before asking others their opinions. At times you want to take a break from the action. It’s not that you are lazy---sometimes you just like to think.
    Pig
    The Real Thing: Domesticated（驯养）pigs have been helping human for about 9,000 years. Incredibly intelligent, a pig shows its smarts by rolling in mud and sticking its snout in dirt. Why? The mud keeps it cool, and rooting in the dirt provides important vitamins.
    Born a Pig: Smart and caring, you live to help other people. You have great taste and love to wallow in the nicer things in life.
    Rat
    The Real Thing: Most rats are highly adaptable. They can live just about anywhere and eat about anything. Before brown rats leave their underground burrows, these clever creatures send one rat ahead to make sure danger doesn’t exist outside.
    Born a Rat: You welcome challenges and enjoy learning about new things. Funny and smart, you are generous and will protect your pack of friends. 
    ______
    The Real Thing: The largest of the big cats, they hunt alone. They secretly move towards prey, then leap and attack when the time seems right. Dinner still escapes most of the time.
    Born a _____: You are a natural leader but often like to do things by yourself. (That’s how you stay in charge!) You believe in fighting for what’s right, even if you’ll lose in the end.
    小题1:  According to the description of the last animal, we can choose _____ to fill in the blanks. 
    A．TigerB．Lion C．OxD．Monkey
    小题2:   The underlined word “snout” probably means _____.
    A．backB．noseC．headD．tail
