    I fell in love with Yosemite National Park the first time I saw it, when I was 13 . My parents took us there for camping. On the way out, I asked them to wait while I ran up to EL Capitan, a  36  rock of 3,300 feet straight up. I touched that giant rock and knew  37  I wanted to climb it. That has been my life’s passion ever since— 38  the rocks and mountains of Yosemite. I’ve long made Yosemite my  39 .
    About 15 years ago I started seeing a lot of  40 , like toilet paper, beer cans, and empty boxes, around the area. It’s  41  me why visitors started respecting the place 42  and treated such a beautiful home-like place this way.
    I tried  43 trash myself, but the job was too big. I would  44  an hour or two on the job, only to find the area trashed all over again weeks later. Finally, I got so  45  it that I decided something had to change.
    As a rock-climbing guide, I knew  46  about organizing any big event. But in 2004, together with some climbers, I set a date for a  47 . On that day, more than 300 people  48 . Over three days we collected about 6,000 pounds of trash. It was amazing how much we were able to  49 . I couldn’t believe the  50  we made —the park looked clean!
    Each year volunteers come for the cleanup from everywhere. In 2007 alone, 2,945 people picked up 42,330 pounds of trash and  51  132 miles of roadway.
    I often hear people  52  about their surroundings. If you are one of them, I would say the only way to change things is by  53  rather than complaining. We need to teach by  54 . You can’t blame others  55  you start with yourself.

    In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition．Some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity．Others say that competition is bad, that it sets one person against another, that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people．
    I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills．For them, playing well and winning are often, life-and-death affairs．In their single-minded pursuit of success, the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten．
    However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude．In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame competition．Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society．Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail．They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success．By not trying, they always have an excuse: "I may have lost, but it doesn't matter because I really didn't try．"What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot．Such a loss would be a measure of their worth． Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves．Both are based on the mistaken belief that one's self-respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others．Both are afraid of not being valued．Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve （缓解） can we discover a new meaning in competition ．
    小题1:What does this passage mainly talk about?
    A．Competition helps to set up self-respect．
    B．Opinions about competition are different among people．
    C．Competition is harmful to personal quality development．
    D．Failures are necessary experiences in competition．
    小题2:Why do some people favor competition according to the passage?
    A．It builds up a sense of duty．
    B．It pushes society forward．
    C．It improves personal abilities．
    D．It encourages individual efforts．
    小题3:The underlined phrase "the most vocal" in Paragraph 3 means ____．
    A．those who try their best to win
    B．those who value competition most highly
    C．those who are against competition most strongly
    D．those who rely on others most for success
    小题4:What is the similar belief of the true competitors and those with a "desire to fail"?
    A．One's worth lies in his performance compared with others'．
    B．One's success in competition needs great efforts．
    C．One's achievement is determined by his particular skills．
    D．One's success is based on how hard he has tried．
    小题5:Which point of view may the author agree to?
    A．Every effort should be paid back．
    B．Competition should be encouraged．
    C．Winning should be a life-and-death matter．
    D．Fear of failure should be removed in competition．

    Beach volleyball is one of those sports that can be an exciting game to play and watch, or, can just be about some friends getting together to have a great time. It’s really easy, and all you need is sand, a net and a group of people, of any age or fitness level, who want to have fun.
    Beach volleyball can be played with as few as two people on each team, making a total of four people. However, if you are less skilled and experienced in the game, it will be easier to play with a larger team. The more players you have, the less ground each person will be responsible(负责)for covering and the more time they will have to recover in between shots. If you only have a few players, each of you will get quite a workout running for the ball after each volley. If you are looking for that relaxing, fun, low-key experience, choose larger teams.
    Beach volleyball is similar(相似)to regular volleyball in its rules. However, even experienced volleyball players do not realize how much more difficult it is to run and jump on sand. Since it is harder to move quickly on sand than a hard ground, play will be much slower than regular volleyball on a playground. When a player trains for beach volleyball, he will focus(专注)on building lower body strength as well as upper body. While he needs to be able to hit the ball with a great deal of power and accuracy(准确性), strengthening his legs is extremely important.
    Whether you are in it for the competition, or just to have a great time with your friends, beach volleyball can be very exciting and fun. You may even start out with friends and fall in love with the sport.
    小题1:When you join a large beach volleyball team, you’ll_________.
    A．have as many shots as possibleB．improve your volleyball skills
    C．be responsible for more groundD．feel light-hearted(轻松)while playing
    小题2:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
    A．You can hit the ball with much less power when playing beach volleyball.
    B．The playground size of beach volleyball is much larger than that of regular volleyball.
    C．You can run more quickly when you are playing regular volleyball.
    D．The rules of beach volleyball are totally different from those of regular volleyball.
    小题3:What does the writer think of beach volleyball?
    A．It is a difficult sport to learn.
    B．It is a very exciting and interesting sport.
    C．It is a sport which needs less power.
    D．It is a sport which needs more skills.
    小题4:Why is it much slower to play beach volley ball than regular volleyball?  Because _________.
    A．it is not an easy job to move on sand
    B．it is a workout running for the ball
    C．it is usually a larger team
    D．the beach volleyball is heavier
    小题5:The passage mainly tells us _________.
    A．the game of beach volleyball
    B．how to become an excellent volleyball player
    C．why beach volleyball is one of exciting sports
    D．what we should pay attention to when playing beach volleyball

    Do dogs understand us?
    Be careful what you say around your dog. It might understand more than you think.
    A border collie博德牧羊犬 named Rico recognizes the names of about 200 objects, say researchers in Germany. The dog also appears to be able to learn new words as easily as a 3-year-old child. Its word-learning skills are as good as those of a parrot or chimpanzee(黑猩猩).
    In one experiment, the researchers took all 200 items that Rico is supposed to know and divided them into 20 groups of 10 objects. Then the owner told the dog to go and fetch one of the items and bring it back. In four tests, Rico got 37 out of 40 commands right. As the dog couldn't see anyone to get clues, the scientists believe Rico must understand the meanings of certain words.
    In another experiment, the scientists took one toy that Rico had never seen before and put it in a room with seven toys whose names the dog already knew. The owner then told Rico to fetch the object, using a word the dog had never heard before.
    The correct object was chosen in seven out of l0 tests, suggesting that the dog had worked out the answer by the process of elimination(排除法). A month later, Rico remembered half of the new names, which is even more impressive.          
    Rico is thought to be smarter than the average dog. For one thing, Rico is a border collie, a breed (品种)known for its mental abilities. In addition, the 9-year-old dog has been trained to fetch toys by their names since the age of nine months.
    It's hard to know if all dogs understand at least some of the words we say. Even if they do, they can't talk back. Still, it wouldn't hurt to sweet-talk your dog every now and then. You might just get a big, wet kiss in return!
    小题1:From paragraph 2 we know that ____________..
    A．animals are as clever as human beings
    B．dogs are smarter than parrots and chimpanzees
    C．chimpanzees have very good word-learning skills
    D．dogs have similar 'learning abilities as 3-year-old children
    小题2:Both experiments show that             .
    A．Rico is smart enough to get all commands right
    B．Rico can recognize different things including toys
    C．Rico has developed the ability of learning mathematics
    D．Rico won't forget the names of objects once recognizing them
    小题3:Which of the following statements is true?
    A．The purpose of the experiments is to show the border collie's mental abilities.
    B．Rico has a better memory partly because of its proper early training.
    C．The border collie is world-famous for recognizing objects.
    D．Rico is born to understand its owner's commands.
    小题4:What does the writer want to tell us?
    A．To train your dog.
    B．To talk with your dog.
    C．To be friendly to your dog.
    D．To be careful with your dog.

    "Hey, don't read in the hallway. Your eyesight will be damaged." You must have heard such warnings many times. Don’t read in dim (暗的)light! This is one of the “pearls of wisdom” that are supposed to help us live a healthy life. Such common beliefs, however, lack scientific basis, according to a paper published recently in the British Medical Journal.
    Do you believe in the following everyday wisdom?
    Reading in dim light ruins your eyesight.
    In dim light, you might blink (眨眼) more, feel discomfort from drying and have trouble focusing. But the majority of eye experts believe it is unlikely to do any permanent damage.
    We must drink at least eight glasses of water a day
    In 1945, the Nutrition Council in US suggested that people need to consume 2.5 litres of water a day. But the water contained in food, particularly fruit and vegetables, as well as in milk, juice and soft drinks, also counts towards the total.
    We only use 10 percent of our brains.
    This myth arose as early as 1907. People have long argued about our power of self-improvement and our brains’ potential abilities. But detailed imaging shows that no area of the brain is silent or inactive.
    Shaving your legs causes hair to grow black faster and thicker.
    This theory is also illusion. Shaving has no effect on the thickness or rate of hair growth,
    studies say. Just over time, the edge of hair gets worn away and thus the edge of long hair becomes finer (更细). So hair that is newly grown gives the impression of darkness.
    小题1:What does the paper say about some common beliefs?
    A．They are pearls of wisdomB．They help us live in healthy ways
    C．They are well-known theories.D．They do not have scientific basis.
    小题2:Which of the following is true according to the passage ?
    A．Reading in dim light does harm to one’s eyes.
    B．People need a total of 2.5 litres of water a day
    C．People use 90 percent of their brains.
    D．Shaving your legs will give you thicker hair.

    English teenagers are to receive compulsory (必修的) cooking lessons in schools. The idea is to encourage healthy eating to fight the country’s increasing obesity (肥胖 )rate. It’s feared that basic cooking and food preparation skills are being lost as parents turn to pre-prepared convenience foods.
    Cooking was once regarded as an important part of education in England---even if it was mainly aimed at girls. In recent decades cooking has progressively become a minor activity in schools. In many cases the schools themselves have given up cooking meals in kitchens in the schools. But the rising level of obesity has led to a rethink about the food that children are given and the skills they should be taught.
    “What I want is to teach young people how to do basic, simple recipes like a tomato sauce, a bolognaise, a simple curry, a stir-fry---which they can use now at home and then in their later life”, said Ed Balls, the minister responsible for schools.
    The new lessons are due to start in September, but some schools without kitchens will be given longer to adapt. There is also likely to be a shortage of teachers with the right skills, since the trend has been to teach food technology rather than practical cooking. Also the compulsory lessons for hands on cooking will only be one hour a week for one term. But the well-known cookery writer, Pru Leith, believes it will be worth it.
    “If we’d done this thirty years ago we might not have the crisis we’ve got now about obesity and lack of knowledge about food and so on. Every child should know how to cook, not just so that they’ll be healthy, but because it’s a life skill which is a real pleasure”.
    The renewed interest in cooking is primarily a response to the level of obesity in Britain which is among the highest in Europe, and according to government figures half of all Britons will be obese in 25 years if current trends are not stopped.
    小题1:The passage mainly talks about        .
    A．the reason for obesityB．the lost cooking skills
    C．the healthy eatingD．the compulsory cooking classes
    小题2:Which of the following is NOT the purpose for English teenagers to receive cooking lessons?
    A．To encourage teenagers to eat healthy food.
    B．To reduce the country’s increasing obesity rate.
    C．To stop parents from turning to pre-prepared convenience foods.
    D．To prevent basic cooking and food preparation skills from being lost.
    小题3:In what way will cooking lessons benefit the students?
    A．They will be healthy and enjoy the pleasure of such a life skill as well.
    B．They will be able to do some basic, simple recipes like a tomato sauce.
    C．They will be able to make food experiments with the knowledge and skills.
    D．They will be able to control the level of obesity in the whole country.
    小题4:The well-known cookery writer, Pru Leith, thinks it        to offer compulsory cooking lessons in schools.
    A．difficultB．necessaryC．funnyD．timely
    小题5:It can be inferred from the passage that       .
    A．cooking has always been an important part of school education in England
    B．the obesity rate in Britain has been rapidly growing in recent decades

    We all know what it is like to be unable to turn your head because of a cold in the muscles (肌肉) of your neck, or because an unexpected twist（扭曲）has made your neck ache. The slightest move makes you jump with pain. Nothing could be worse than a pain in the neck.
    That is why we use the phrase to describe some people who give you the same feeling. We have all met such people.
    One is the man who always seems to be clapping his hands—often at the wrong time—during a performance in the theater. He keeps you from hearing the actors.
    Even worse are those who can never arrive before the curtain goes up and the play begins. They come hurrying down to your row of seats. You are comfortably settled down, with your hat and heavy coat in your lap. You must stand up to let them pass. You are proud of yourself-control after they have settled into their seats…Well, what now…God, one of them is up again. He forgot to go to the men’s room, and once more you have to stand up, hanging on to your hat and coat to let him pass. Now, that is “a pain in the neck”.
    Another, well—known to us all, is the person sitting behind you in the movies. His mouth is full of popcorn (爆米花); he is chewing（嚼）loudly, or talking between bites to friends next to him. None of them remain still. Up and down, back and forth, they go—for another bag of popcorn, or something to drink.
    Then, there is the man sitting next to you at lunch, smoking. He wants you to enjoy it too, and blows smoke across your food into your mouth.
    We must not forget the man who comes into a bus or subway and sits down next to you, just as close as you will let him. You are reading the newspaper and he gets closer so that he can read the paper with you. He may even turn the paper to the next page before you are ready for it.
    We also call such a person a “rubber neck”, always getting close to where it does not belong, like neighbors who watch all your visitors. They enjoy learning about your personal business. People have a strong dislike for “rubber necks”. They hate being watched secretly.
    小题1:Where can you find this passage?
    A．In a medicine dictionary.B．in a kids’ story book.
    C．In a social science book.D．In a science textbook.
    小题2:According to the passage, how do you feel when late comers walk back and forth in front of you in a cinema?
    A．disturbed.B．bored.C．ignored. D．relaxed.
    小题3:A “rubber neck” often __________________ .
    A．says bad words behind people.B．quarrels face to face with neighbors.
    C．bargains with salespeople over the price D．asks about other people’s business
    小题4:Which of the following persons CANNOT be described as a “pain in the neck”?
    A．Someone who often claps at the wrong time during a performance.
    B．Someone who feels ache in his neck due to a cold in the muscles.
    C．Someone who sits next to you smoking, which you never enjoy.
