    "No man is an island" is a well-known line from John Donne's Devotion, written more than three hundred years ago. Even now people still agree with him. Without other people, life became empty and sad.  51

    For some of us, though making friends is not difficult, we may not want to make the first move. It is also difficult at times to keep the friends we already have.

    There are many books about friendship, but Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People, written in 1936, is the most famous.  52  It was later put into 28 languages.

    Here is the list of advice from his book:

    l        53

    Always greet with a smile. Begin with "excuse me" or "would you please", when you want to ask somebody. Remember to say "thank you" and try to be as helpful as you can.

    l       Go out of your way to be nice.

     54  Making some soup for a sick neighbour may seem like a little thing to you, but it will make your neighbour feel a lot better.

    l       Remember names.

    They say that the sweetest music to a person's ears is the sound of his or her own name.

    l        55

    Try to understand other people's ways and ideas and learn something from them.

    l       Listen patiently.

    When someone is talking to you, look at him or her, listen carefully and say something when necessary.

    A. Be open-minded.

    B. Be friendly and polite.

    C. So we all need to have friends.

    D. Save some time to help others. 

    E. This "How to" book became a best seller.

    F. Try to help your friends out of danger.

    G. It's also important to keep close friends in our daily life.

    Some students, like 19-year-old freshman Nan Zhichao, have decided to use the winter holiday to get some  13    . Nan and a group of classmates are going on their own cycling tour of Hainan.

    This trip is not only about pushing our limits,  17     about looking for adventure, said Nan. "It's also a testament to being adults, and part of a new generation of college students."

    Now in Hainan, Nan's team is pedaling  18     in T-shirts and shorts, shedding some of the  19     they gained during the fall semester, and strengthening the bond of their friendships. Said Nan: "We now know each other more than we used to, even  20     months of living together."

    Kuss Middle School serves students in Fall River, Mass. , a former mill town that has struggled economically for decades. Students at Kuss have struggled, too, usually falling short of making the academic progress required under the No Child Left Behind law.

    Then, last year, the school experimented with extending the school day. Teachers got paid at a higher hourly rate.

    Students weren't thrilled at first with leaving school at 4:15 p.m. instead of at 2:20 p.m. But the added hours gave them more time for physical education and let them select special interest classes. By the end of the year, student scores had risen by enough to enable Kuss to make the progress required under the federal No Child Left Behind law.

    The only surprise is that more districts haven't lengthened school schedules set decades ago to accommodate (适应) a farm economy rather the information economy of today.

    School days

    The USA ranks 36th of 40 industrialized nations in average weekly instructional time.

    Selected countries:

    1) Thailand--30.5 hours  2) Korea--30.3 hours  7) China--26.5 hours

    14) France--24.6 hours  15 ) UK--24.6 hours

    16) Mexico--24.2 hours  23 ) Japan--23.8 hours

    26)Canada--23.6 hours  36)USA--22.2 hours  40)Brazil--19 hours

    New research suggests the time is ready for a change:

    Matched against 39 other developed countries, the United States is near the bottom in the rankings of average weekly instructional time in school.  Measured over 12 years, students in the top-scoring countries spend the equivalent of a full extra year in school.

    US students perform poorly on math and science tests compared to their international peers, according to a US Education Department comparison released earlier this month. In math, American 15-year-old scored near the bottom among the study's 30 developed countries.

    Most countries that boost the number of minutes spent on math instruction find pay offs in improved math scores, according to a study released this month by the Brookings Institution. Small in creases in the school day are more effective than a longer school year, the report concluded.

    The most encouraging news about the benefits of extending the school day comes from Massachusetts, where an experiment with 10 schools, including Kuss, appears to be working. Those 10 schools lengthened their instructional days by 25% and boosted their state scores in math, English and science at all grades.

    Perhaps the concept won't work everywhere. Certainly, it won't instantly be popular. But it's obvious that a problem exists or that adding class time seems to help.

    1.What is the main idea of the above passage?

    A．Experiments with extended school hours produce academic gains.

    B．Kuss Middle School sets a good example for US education.

    C．Academic progress has achieved under the No Child Left Behind law.

    D．Information age calls for more instructional lime at all schools.

    2.A longer school day is suggested for the following reasons except that _________.

    A．students from many developed countries spend more time at school

    B．American students do a bad job at science subjects

    C．teachers are paid at a higher rate with time added

    D．a longer school day works better than a longer school year

    3.Which statement is true of Kuss Middle School?

    A．Kuss Middle School lies in where a farm economy is changing to an information one.

    B．Kuss Middle school has joined the federal "No Child Left Behind" progrann

    C．Neither teachers nor students are happy with the longer school day.

    D．Adding class time functions at Kuss Middle School.

    4.The writer has expressed ____________.

    A．a positive attitude towards adding school time

    B．a negative attitude towards adding school time

    C．a changing attitude towards adding school time

    D．a right attitude towards adding school time

    Billy Joe Saunders is aiming for boxing gold at the Beijing Olympics but may have created history already.

    As far as he knows, the 18-year-old welterweight from Hatfield is the first person from the Romany Gypsy community to qualify for an Olympic Games.

    Billy Joe clinched （最终获得）his place at a qualifying event in Italy earlier this month and is one of seven boxers to make Team GB for Beijing.

    Billy Joe Saunders is not the only British boxer with genuine（真的）medal prospects for Beijing, but his background has to be the most fascinating.

    He comes from the Romany Gypsy community and lives on a caravan site near Hatfield in Hertfordshire.

    Boxing runs deep in the Saunders family, who are immensely proud of their heritage.

    His brother Tommy is a professional（职业的）, while his Dad Tom was an amateur and his great, great grandfather, the wonderfully named Absolom Beeny, now aged 96, used to make his living fighting in the old boxing booth at fairgrounds.

    Billy Joe admits he has heard all the stories a hundred times, but once he and his brother had visited the local boxing club, he was hooked.

    "Boxing has kept me off the streets, stops me smoking and drinking and gives me something to do", he said.

    His background may be colorful, but make no mistake, Billy Joe Saunders is one very special boxer.

    As a boy he wasn't the most naturally gifted, but had an inner toughness that set him apart from other fighters.

    His trainer, Danny Hoy, said: "When I saw him have to dig down into his boots against much older boys, I thought this kid is not the same as anyone else. There is something with this kid".

    It is that something which made Billy Joe a real prospect for London 2012, so qualification for Beijing means he is effectively four years ahead of schedule.

    He remembers watching Amir Khan win silver in Athens four years ago, and wants to go one better. "I'm aiming for gold, simple as that", he said.

    51．Where did Billy clinch his place as a boxer to make Team GB for Beijing.

    A. At Beijing                                 B. At Romany Gypsy community     

    C. In Italy                                                D. In Britain

    52．The underlined word " amateur" (in Para. 3) here means ________

    A. a person who takes part in boxing only for pleasure    

    B. a person who takes part in boxing as his job

    C. a coach who teaches boxing

    D. a player who takes part in baseball

    53．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

    A. Billy’s brother is a professional boxer.   

    B. Absolom’s son is not a professional boxer.

    C. Billy was very interested in the local boxing club.

    D. Billy was the most naturally gifted when he was still a very young boy.

    54．It can be inferred from the passage that________

    A. His coach thought Billy was gifted to be a boxer when he saw Billy’s boots against older boys.

    B. It was Boxing that has kept Billy off the streets.

    C. Billy won a silver medal in Athens Olympic Games..

    D. Billy will compete in Beijing Olympic Games four years ahead of his trainer’s schedule.

    55．What is Billy hoping to win in Beijing Olympic Games?

    A. A silver medal for boxing                      B. A gold medal for boxing  

    C. A piece of gold                              D. A copper medal

    Five years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day． "I was a clothes addict, "he jokes．" I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled．" Today David wears casual clothes – khaki pants and sports shirt – to the office． He hardly ever wears a necktie． "I'm working harder than ever," David says, "and I need to feel comfortable．"

    More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work． In the United States, the change from formal to casual office wear has been gradual． In the early 1990s, many companies allowed their employees to wear casual clothes on Friday, but only on Friday． This became known as "dress-down Friday" or "casual Friday．" "What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for employees has really become an everyday thing．" said business consultant Maisly Jones．
