People who have the habit of texting (发短信) while walking tend to develop a robot-like posture, lose their balance, and involve themselves in traffic accidents, according to a research from the University of Queensland. Researchers said that text-walkers are in danger of walking into traffic and train tracks among others. They suggest pedestrians（行人）stop aside, type a text and then continue walking.
For the study, the researchers tracked body movements of 26 young men and women while walking in a straight line over a distance of about 8.5 m ---once without a mobile phone, once while reading a text message and once while typing a message.
They found that participants’ body movements were greatly changed when they used their phone. The difference in their posture was more prominent while sending a text than while reading a message. They further said that when those people began texting while walking, they slowed down their pace, went off course and moved their necks less than when reading a message.
“We found that they ‘locking’ their arms, trunk and head together walked with a posture that was robot-like, all in aid of keeping their phone in their field of vision. So there is less movement between each of their body parts.” Researcher Siobhan Schabrun said, Daily Mail UK reports.
“In recent years, there have been many reports of people involved in traffic accidents because they were texting while walking. The number of pedestrian accidents is rising and texting has been blamed,” Schabrun said.
Despite such repeated accidents, only few studies have analyzed the impact of texting on body language. If more studies concentrate on walking styles adopted while texting, their findings can be used to lower whole accidents.
While a few U.S. states have introduced laws on texting while driving, Fort Lee, a New Jersey town, went further ahead and recently fined some walkers an $85 for catching them texting. It is hoped that other American states and countries will follow.
1.How did the researchers carry out their research?
A. They called on most pedestrians.
B. They tried texting while they were walking.
C. They followed some pedestrians in the street.
D. They showed pedestrians the danger of texting.
2. The underlined word “prominent” in Paragraph 3 probably means _____.
A. obvious B. important C. uncertain D. puzzling
3. When texting, the pedestrians walk in a different way to _____.
A. avoid losing their balance
B. attract other people’s attention
C. keep their eyes steady on the phone
D. take part in the study with the researchers
4. From the last paragraph, we can infer that texting while walking ______.
A. is not popular with many people
B. will make each American fined $85
C. will be punished in some states of America
D. has been forbidden in most American states
5.What is the best title of the passage?
A. Negative effects of texting.
B. Texting and traffic accidents.
C. Texting and people’s health.
D. Ways to avoid traffic accidents.

The Wizarding World(魔法世界) of Harry Potter theme park will open in Florida in 2009,and will provide attractions and rides based on places from the Harry Potter books.
The novels’ author JK Rowling has already given her blessing to the project. She said,“The plans I’ve seen look unbelievably exciting, and I don’t think fans of the books or films will be disappointed.”
Stuart Craig, the man in charge of the design of the park, is an Oscar-winning production designer who worked on the Harry Potter films so it should be faithful(忠实的) to JK Rowling’s vision.

There is growing concern about food insecurity in the developing world. Rising food prices, weather emergencies and political problems are deepening the struggle for families in many countries.
Three UN agencies have published a report recently, saying high prices are likely to continue. Gregory Barrow, who is with the World Food Program in Rome, says, “If you look at the places where the World Food Program works, particularly in developing countries, you see people who might be spending more than 60 percent of their salary in purchasing food for their families.”
East Africa is suffering its worst drought in years. In Kenya, at least three and a half million people are going hungry, mostly in the north. Yet food is going to waste in central Kenya. Now, farmers there want the government to buy their food and give it to those in need. Farmers say bad roads and lack of transportation make it difficult for them to get their produce to the market.
Mr. Barrow says, “It needs the government to make some arrangements such as pro
viding transport. They can buy it at a good price, then give it to those people instead of asking for food from overseas, which is very bad. When we are throwing away food, they are asking for food from overseas.”
Economists say that imports reduce local food prices, decrease productivity(生产效率) and increase the dependency on other countries. Farmers in Kenya hope the government can pay higher prices for their crops so that they can feed more Kenyans.
1.What is the best title for this passage?
A. Kenya Imports Food from Abroad
B. World Food Program in Rome.
C. The Poor Suffer from High Food Prices.
D. A Report Published by Three UN Agencies.
2.What do we know about Kenya from the passage?
A. The people in central Kenya are suffering from hunger.
B. At least three and a half million Kenyans lack food.
C. The Kenyan government wants to improve road conditions.
D. People in northern Kenya refuse to ask for food from overseas.
3.What does “they” in the fourth paragraph refer to?
A. The people of northern Kenya.
B. Government officials.
C. The farmers of central Kenya.
D. Kenyan economists.
4.Which of the following statements is TRUE, according to this passage?
A. Gregory Barrow suggests that Kenya make good use of overseas food.
B. People in northern Kenya are suffering the drought less than the central.
C. Economists believe importing food from abroad may cause problems.
D. Kenyan government hopes to buy the native crops at higher prices.

One day when I was 12, my mother gave me an order: I was to walk to the public library, and borrow at least one book for the summer. This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem — inability to read.
In the library, I found my way into the “Children’s Room.” I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random. The cover of a book caught my eye. It presented a picture of a beagle. I had recently had a beagle, the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child. He was my secret sharer, but one morning, he was gone, given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him. I never forgot my beagle.
There on the book’s cover was a beagle which looked identical to my dog. I ran my fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover. My eyes ran across the title, Amos, the Beagle with a Plan. Unknowingly, I had read the title. Without opening the book, I borrowed it from the library for the summer.
Under the shade of a bush, I started to read about Amos. I read very, very slowly with difficulty. Though pages were turned slowly, I got the main idea of the story about a dog who, like mine, had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home. That dog was my dog, and I was the little boy in the book. At the end of the story, my mind continued the final scene of reunion, on and on, until my own lost dog and I were, in my mind, running together.
My mother’s call returned me to the real world. I suddenly realized something: I had read a book, and I had loved reading that book. Everyone knew I could not read. But I had read it. Books could be incredibly wonderful and I was going to read them.
I never told my mother about my “miraculous” (奇迹般地) experience that summer, but she saw a slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance during the next year. And years later, she was proud that her son had read thousands of books, was awarded a PhD in literature, and authored his own books, articles, poetry and fiction. The power of the words has held.
1.The author’s mother told him to borrow a book in order to_____.
A. help cure him of his reading problem
B. let him spend a meaningful summer
C. encourage him to do more walking
D. make him learn more about weapons
2.The book caught the author’s eye because_____.
A. it contained pretty pictures of animals
B. he found its title easy to understand
C. it reminded him of his own dog
D. he liked children’s stories very much
3.Why could the author manage to read the book through?
A. He was forced by his mother to read it.
B. He identified with the story in the book.
C. The book told the story of his pet dog.
D. The happy ending of the story attracted him.
4.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. The author has had happy summers ever since.
B. The author’s mother read the same book.
C. The author’s mother rewarded him with books.
D. The author has become a successful writer.
