    There are three kinds of goals: short-term, intermediate and long-term goals. Short-term goals are those that usually deal with present activities. Such goals can be achieved in a week or two, or possible months. It should be remembered that just as a building is no stronger than its foundation (基础), our long-term goals cannot be achieved without the achievement of solid short-term goals. Upon completing our short-term goals, we should date the time and then add new short-term goals that will build on those that have been completed.
    The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-term goals. They might deal with just one term of school or the entire school years, or they could extend for several years. Any time you move a step at a time, you never allow yourself to become discouraged. As you complete each step, you will have more belief in your ability to grow and succeed.
    Long-term goals may be related to our dreams of future. They might cover five years or more. Life is not a static (静态的) thing. We should never allow a long-term goal to limit us or our course of action.
    小题1: The long-term goals mean______.
    A．something static and easy to get if we complete our short-term goals
    B．something easy to reach if we complete a short-term goal in time
    C．nothing but our dreams of future
    D．a lot, such as a dream, and aspiration (热望) or a wish in our life
    小题2:When we complete each step of our goals, ______.
    A．we will win final successB．we become down-hearted
    C．we should encourage ourselvesD．we should think about changing our goals
    小题3: It is the most important for us students to have ___________ first.
    A．long-term goalsB．intermediate goals
    C．short-term goalsD．dreams of future
    小题4:Which of the following titles is best for this passage?
    A．Three Kinds of GoalsB．How to Reach Goals
    C．Changeable GoalsD．Moveable Goals

    Everyone has got two personalities — the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real．You don’t show your secret personality when you’re awake because you can control your behavior，but when you’re asleep， your sleeping position shows the real you．In a normal night，of course，people frequently change their position．The important position is the one that you go to sleep in．
    If you go to sleep on your back，you’re a very open person．You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by fashion or new ideas．You don’t like to upset people，so you never express your real feelings．You’re quite shy and you aren’t very confident．
    If you sleep on your stomach，you are a rather secretive（不坦率的）person．You worry a lot and you’re always easily upset．You’re very stubborn（顽固的），but you aren’t very ambitious．You usually live for today not for tomorrow．This means that you enjoy having a good time．
    If you sleep curled up（卷曲），you are probably a very nervous person．You have a low opinion of yourself and so you’re often defensive．You’re shy and you don’t normally like meeting people．You prefer to be on your own．You’re easily hurt．
    If you sleep on your side，you have usually got a well-balanced personality．You know your strengths and weaknesses．You’re usually careful． You have a confident personality．You sometimes feel anxious，but you don’t often get depressed．You always say what you think even if it annoys people．

    Drinking Water: Bottled or From the Tap（水龙头）?
    In America, people will include a case or two of bottled water when buying the week's groceries（日用杂货）．When they are going to a soccer game or activity, it's common for them to grab a cold bottle of water out of the fridge with them．In fact, Americans buy more bottled water than any other nation in the world, about 29 billion bottles a year．
    But all these plastic bottles use a lot of fossil fuels and pollute the environment．In order to make all the 29 billion bottles, producers use 17 million barrels of crude oil, which is enough to keep a million cars going for 12 months．
    So why don't people drink water straight from the tap? Some people have a strong belief that bottled water is better than water out of the tap, but that's not necessarily true．In the US, the local governments make sure water from the tap is safe．There is also growing concern that chemicals in the bottles themselves may go into the water．
    People love the convenience of bottled water．But maybe if they realized the problems it causes, they would try drinking from a glass at home or carrying water in a reusable steel container instead of plastic．
    Some argue that plastic bottle recycling can help．Recycled bottles can be turned into items like carpeting or clothing．Unfortunately, only one in six bottles is recycled．The rest make it to landfills（垃圾填坦场） or end as trash in other places．Plastic bottles take hundreds of years for them to disintegrate．
    Water is important for you, so keep drinking it．But think about how often you use water bottles, and see if you can make a change．
    And yes, you can make a difference．Remember this: Recycling one plastic bottle can save enough energy to power a 60-watt light bulb for six hours．
    小题1:How many cars can be kept going for a year by the crude oil used to make 29 billion bottles?
    A．100． B．I,000．C．100,000．D．I,000,000．
    小题2:Why do Americans prefer bottled water?
    A．Bottled water is better than water from the tap．
    B．Bottled water is cheaper than water from the tap．
    C．Bottled water contains beneficial chemicals in it．
    D．Bottled water is more convenient than water from the tap．
    小题3:What does the underlined word "disintegrate" in the fifth paragraph probably mean^
    A．Be well recycled．B．Become less poisonous．
    C．Break into small pieces．D．Go down below a surface．
    小题4:The author's intention of writing this passage is to recommend Americans
    A．drink more water from the tap
    B．send plastic bottles to landfills.
    C．use water bottles to power light bulbs
    D．buy bottles filled with water from the tap

    The fact that blind people can see things using parts of their bodies apart from their eyes may help us to understand our feelings about color．If they can sense color differences, then perhaps we, too, are affected by color without knowing it．Salesmen have discovered by experience over a long period of time that sugar sells badly in green wrappings, that blue foods are considered not agreeable to the taste, and that cosmetics（化妆品） should never be packed in brown．These discoveries have grown into a whole subject of color psychology．
    Some of our preferences are clearly psychological．Dark blue is the color of the night sky and therefore connected with calm, while yellow is a day color connected with energy and encouragement．Experiments have shown that colors, partly because they are connected with psychology, also have a direct effect on people's mind．People in bright red surroundings show an increase in breathing speed, heartbeat and blood pressure．Red is exciting．Pure blue has exactly the opposite effect; it is a calming color．Being exciting, red was chosen as the signal for danger, but a closer study shows that a bright yellow can produce a more basic state of alarm, so fire engines in some advanced areas are now rushing around in bright yellow colors that stop buses, trucks and cars．
    小题1:The passage tells us that salesmen have____ ．
    A．tried colors on blind people
    B．found out that colors affect sales
    C．developed a special subject of color psychology
    D．discovered the relationship between color and psychology
    小题2:It can be inferred from the passage that__ _．
    A．blind people cannot sense color differences
    B．foods sell well in green or blue wrappings
    C．w hat color we prefer depends on our state of mind
    D．a bright color has exactly the opposite effect to red
    小题3:The most effective color in the passage for warning people is____．
    A．redB．dark blueC．greenD．bright yellow
    小题4:If someone is in an angry mood, which color is better for him to become quiet?
    A．Red．B．Dark blue． C．Brown． D．Bright yellow

    For about a decade, I knew that I needed to improve my handwriting, but I always put it off. “My typing skills are good, my communication skills are good, and all my other abilities are adequate for the job I do and the life I live. Why would I need to improve my handwriting in such a modern world?” I thought.
    I was sort of hit by the fact that my handwriting needed improving quite suddenly in the form of a note from my boss. Obviously one of the notes I had posted on the office message board had been misunderstood because of my handwriting. My boss demanded that I learn to write in a neat way, something I couldn’t ignore any longer.
    I tried a lot of different methods to improve my handwriting. Nowadays, there are more resources than before. You don’t even have to go to the store and can buy handwriting training materials online. I tried out a lot of these, and my handwriting did improve somewhat. Now I make sure I form every letter correctly. This is inconvenient and time-consuming, but it is better than having my comments misread.
    People come up to me and tell me how nice my handwriting is. I have never thought of that, but this is exactly what has happened. It really is a pleasure, but it isn’t enough. In the long run, I actually have to go to a handwriting coach to improve my handwriting. It seems like I have years and years of bad habits that I have to break, and this isn’t something I could handle on my own. I need someone to teach me how to write clearly from the ground up.
    小题1:The underlined word “adequate” in the first paragraph probably means “    ”.
    Aclear enough       B. common enough    C. good enough  D. special enough
    小题2:The writer made the decision to improve his handwriting because        .
    A．he had planned for that for a long time
    B．he was shocked by his boss’ good handwriting
    C．he was often misunderstood because of his handwriting
    D．his boss asked him to work on his handwriting
    小题3:How did the writer try to improve his handwriting?
    A．He practiced writing mainly on his own.
    B．He practiced writing and typing at the same time.
    C．He joined a handwriting training class.
    D．He employed a coach to teach him online.
    小题4:What does the writer think of his handwriting at present?
    A．Unacceptable.B．Perfect.C．Worse.D．Better.

    The old shopkeeper led me through to the back of the shop. The room was filled with boxes and photographs of people dressed in old-fashioned clothes, holding packages in their hands.
    “Who are these people?” I asked.
    “Satisfied customers,” answered young Mr. Hopkins. “We have a very wide choice of items for sale. Whenever I serve a new customer, I always take their picture.” Mr. Hopkins pointed to an ancient camera standing next to one wall. “Now, how can I serve you?” he added.
    By this time, I had started to trust Mr. Hopkins and had begun to appreciate the lovely items on sale. I needed to buy Christmas presents for my family and friends, and this seemed to be the perfect place to purchase them. I spent a very pleasant hour being shown the commodities in Mr. Hopkins’shop. No matter what I asked for, Mr. Hopkins found it for me. Finally, I bought an antique jewelry box, a pair of riding boots, a leather-bound edition of the Complete Works of Mark Twain, and a sewing machine.
    I was very excited that I had found such a good little shop. I promised Mr. Hopkins that I would come back soon. “I will tell all my friends about your lovely place,” I told the shopkeeper.
    “Please do not do that, sir”, said Mr. Hopkins. “This is a special place for special people. You must keep this shop a secret.” Then he took my photograph, and handed me the picture straight away.
    “That was quick!” I exclaimed. I looked at the photograph. In the picture I looked proud and excited holding the presents I had bought in Mr. Hopkins’ dusty shop.
    On Christmas Day, my friends and relatives were delighted with the presents I had bought for them. For weeks, my brother begged me to show him where to find this wonderful little shop. I finally agreed to take him to London to show him.
    When we arrived in London, we walked along Oxford Street, past the department store and found...nothing. The little shop was no longer there. In its place was an empty space being used as a car park. I checked the area again. There was the music shop, and there was the department store. In between should have been Hopkins and Son, but it wasn’t there.
    As I was staring at the place where the shop should have been, an old policeman came along. “Are you looking for something sir?” he asked.
    I turned and said “I am looking for a little shop called Hopkins and Son. I thought it was here.”
    “Oh yes,” said the policeman. “There was a shop here once called Hopkins and Son. It sold all sorts of things, but it was knocked down over 30 years ago.”
    I looked again at the place where the shop had been. Then I reached into my pocket and took out the photograph that Mr. Hopkins had taken of me holding my presents in the little shop.
    “How strange” I exclaimed.
    小题1:How did the writer like the shop?
    A．He found it a modern big shop.
    B．He thought it a wonderful shop for all Christmas presents.
    C．He thought it a good shop with an ancient camera.
    D．He found it a dusty, old but friendly and lovely little shop.
    小题2:Which of the following is true about the shop?
    A．It was knocked down a few weeks ago.
    B．It was a well-known little shop in London.

    A used book or nearly-new kitchen gadget (配件) may not be at the top of every Christmas wish list, but hard economic times coupled with a new green awareness are changing attitudes about gift-giving in France.
    French holiday shoppers are choosing larger numbers for “green” gifting this Christmas, studies show. About 30 percent of French consumers will give second-hand items as gifts to stretch out their tight budgets but also to do their little bit for recycling, according to a study by international consulting firm Deloitte.
    The survey of Christmas consumer behaviors in 18 European countries found the French were more than twice as likely as other Europeans to give second-hand items. Websites promoting re-gifting and green gifting are popular in France, with many reporting a rise in business.
    “Concerns about the ecology and the economy have come together and we are now seeing people who accept the types of gifts that were not appreciated just a short time ago,” said Sebastien Ravut, who runs a website promoting eco-friendly consumerism. His site lists shops in France that offer fair trade products, bio-friendly goods and recycled items. Over the Christmas holidays, the number of visits to the site has doubled from last year, reaching 60,000 a month.
    A study by online survey firm Vivodi for PriceMinister showed eight out of 10 people would be happy to receive a used item as a gift and that younger consumers were more open to the idea.
    But Gilles Goldenberg, author of the Deloitte study, said that environmental concerns are not why customers buy used goods. “The number one concern is getting the lowest possible price,” said Goldenberg. “Eco-friendly products are drawing a lot of interest, but not if that means paying more.”
    Theatre tickets and other low-carbon gifts are fashionable, and eco-friendly websites are also encouraging gift givers to offer time and services instead of stuff. “The order of the day is to spend less time shopping and more time connecting” over the holidays, said Florence de Monclin from the Nicolas Helot foundation for Nature and Humanity.
    小题1:We can judge from the Deloitte study that _________.
    A．over a quarter of the French give second-hand Christmas gifts
    B．the French are less willing to buy eco-friendly gifts than other Europeans
    C．80% of French people are happy to receive second-hand gifts
    D．less than 10% of European consumers are likely to give second-hand gifts
    小题2:According to Goldenberg, the main reason for customers to buy used goods is that _______.
    A．they want to be eco-friendly B．they want to save money
    C．it is encouraged by websites D．it is a new fashion in Europe
    小题3: All the following might be a promoted gift EXCEPT ________.
    A．a theatre ticket
    B．a second-hand book
    C．a nearly-new digital toaster
    D．a box of heavily packaged chocolate
    小题4:Which of the following statements is TRUE?
    A．Old people are not open minded enough to accept second-hand gifts.
    B．People wish to receive second-hand gifts because of the economic downturn.
    C．Ravut’s website received a sharp decrease in visits during the Christmas holidays.
    D．In de Monclin’s opinion, people should spend more time with friends and family during holidays
