    When people wanted to find their way to a place in the past,they used to have to buy a map.But they don't have to do that any more.Now they can either buy a GPS,or go online and find maps for just about anywhere.

    Is this an improvement?Perhaps,but some people think some of the online companies are going too far,because they have been sending out cars with photographic equipment on their roofs,to photograph every street and house in the country.

    One of these cars arrived on a Wednesday morning in the quiet English village of Broughton.The camera was on a meter-high stick an top of the car and could see over walls and into people's gardens.Some of the villagers came and stood around the car,and then asked the driver and photographer to go away.Reporters quickly arrived on the scene,and soon the event was news all over the country.

    Of course,the online company in question says that it is simply collecting information that people on the Internet want.But the villagers feel differently."We used to have privacy in this country—now companies just come and take photographs of our home without even asking,"said one villager."It' not right.We mustn't let this happen.We mustn't lose our right to live privately."

    There is,of course,no law to prevent people from taking photographs of houses,so the villagers cannot go to court.But many people are asking the question:"OK,it's legal,lout is rt right?"

    1.How is Paragraph 1 developed?

    A. By analyzing causes. B. By describing experiences.

    C. By ma king comparisons. D. By providing explanations.

    2.What does the underlined phrase "going too far" in Paragraph 2 mean?

    A. Doing a lot of work. B. Walking a long distance.

    C. Taking more pictures than necessary. D. Behaving in a way that upsets people.

    3.How do the locals in Broughton feel about the online company?

    A. Uncaring. B. Angry.

    C. Friendly. D. Thankful.

    4.What would be the best title for the text?

    A. Why is GPS Important? B. The Improvement of Maps

    C. It's Legal—But is It Right? D. The Development of the Internet

    By May, after three months, I had lost22pounds and reached my goal of 115 pounds. My friends would say “Alice, you look great!” or “How did you lose so much weight?” Those compliments made me feel good and confident.

    Soon I dropped to110 pounds. A few of my friends told me that I needed to stop dieting, because I was starting to look sick. They brought me a present—— a bag of chocolates, which I later gave to my sister. My mother would come to my room, with tears in her eyes, and have long chats about how harmful this diet was and begged me to stop. My dad would leave worried messages on my cell phone at school, telling me that it would do serious harm to my body.

    By mid-June, when school was coming to an end, I was down to an only alive state of 95 pounds. All of a sudden, I knew I had to do something. I guessed the number itself scared me. I recalled my doctor. He told me about a girl who was 95 pounds and was at the risk of dying. I knew I was putting my life at risk, but for what? To make those who love me worried? Was it worthwhile to be thin?

    Now I realize that models in magazines, TV and movies are not realistic. The price to pay for the “perfect body” is living with a dangerous and sometimes deadly eating disorder. And there are more important things to think about than how thin you are.

    1.The underlined word “compliments” in Paragraph 1 probably means_____.

    A. questions

    B. praise

    C. understanding

    D. experiences

    2.Why did the author’s mother come to her room in tears?

    A. Because the mother was worried about her daughter’s health.

    B. Because the mother thought her daughter was brave enough.

    C. Because the mother was sorry to have helped her daughter go on a diet.

    D. Because the mother was deeply moved by her daughter’s friends.

    3.The author decided to stop dieting_______.

    A. after her parents persuaded her out of it

    B. when her weight dropped to 95 pounds

    C. after she reached her goal of losing weight

    D. after her friends told her to stop dieting

    In 1933 an unknown American called Clarence Nash went to see the film-maker Walter Disney. He had an unusual voice and he wanted to work in Disney’s cartoon film for children. When Walter Disney heard Nash’s voice, he said, “Stop! That’s our duck!”

    The duck was the now-famous Donald Duck, who first appeared in 1934 in the film, The Wise Little Hen. Donald lived in an old houseboat and worn his sailor jacket and hat. Later that year he became a star after an eight minute Mickey Mouse film. The cinema audiences liked him because he was lazy and greedy, and because he lost his temper very easily. And they loved his voice when he became angry with Mickey’s eight nephews. Soon Donald was more popular than Mickey Mouse himself, probably because he wasn’t a goody-goody, like Mickey.

    In the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s, Donald and his friends Mickey, Goofy and Pluto made hundreds of Disney cartoons. He also made educational film about the place of the USA in the world, and safety in the home. Then in 1966 Donald Duck and his voice disappeared—there were no more new cartoons.

    Clarence Nash died in February, 1985. But today’s children can still see the old cartoons on the television and hear that famous voice.

    1.Who made Donald Duck cartoons?

    A. Mickey Mouse.

    B. Clarence Nash.

    C. Walter Disney.

    D. Pluto.

    2.When did the first Donald Duck film appear?

    A. In 1933. B. In 1934.

    C. In 1966. D. In 1965.

    3.Who was Clarence Nash?

    A. A cartoonist.

    B. A writer.

    C. A film maker.

    D. The man who made the voice for Donald Duck.

    4.Where do today’s children see Donald Duck cartoons?
