Every country has its heroes.The heroes are the people the nation and especially the young people admire. If you get a list of the heroes of a nation, it will tell you the potential(潜力) of that nation.

Today in America, if you ask the high school students to list their heroes, their choices would probably fall into three groups. The first group of heroes would be the rock stars—the people connected with rock music. There is no doubt that such people do have talent(才能). But one wonders if one should treat rock stars as a model. The rock stars too often are mixed with drugs and their personal life is not all that good. The rock stars are rich and wear the latest fashion styles. However, one should seek more in a hero than such things as money and good clothes.

A second type of hero for the American youth is the sports star. Again you have a person who has a great ability in one area—sports. However, too often the personal life of the sports star is a bit of disorder. Too frequently drugs and drinking are a part of life of the sports star.

A third type of hero is the TV or movie star. This person may have lots of acting talent and is quite handsome. However, the personal life of too many actors is quite sad and they should not be held up as a model of young people. Today, the rock star, the athlete and the actor all have become the models of the youth in America. Really, do you hear a young person say that his hero is a doctor, a teacher or a scientist? These people are not rich and do not wear fashionable clothes. However, they are talented people who work hard to make the world a better place for everyone.

What is really sad is that the young try to imitate(模仿) their heroes. They like to wear the same clothes and follow their styles. If the heroes of today for the American young people are limited only to rock stars, athletes and actors, the future does not look too bright.

1.The last sentence of the first paragraph implies that ________.

A. if a nation has a lot of heroes, it will be strong

B. heroes of a nation will make the nation itself

C. what the people admire will make the future of the nation

D. if you want to be a hero, you must admire the hero

2.According to the writer, people should admire those ________.

A. who are rich and wear the latest fashion clothes

B. who can express people’s feelings

C. whose personal life is good

D. who work for the interests of the people

3.What is the writer’s attitude towards American youth’s admiration?

A. He understands it.

B. He criticizes it.

C. He is angry about it.

D. He is uninterested in it.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

It is necessary but difficult for English beginners to memorize new words, and long lists of words

seem to make the mission impossible. They are puzzled why they try to memorize words with great ef-

forts but forget them easily. That's why there are often inquiries about how to memorize new words.

1. Here are some tips to help.

2. We too often separate the process of new words memorization from pronunciation. In fact

these two can be combined and each will enhance the other. Saying the word to ourselves helps acti-

vate aural(hearing) memory, which helps the memory. 3. The more familiar we are with the word,

the greater chance we will have to keep it for the rest of our life.

Never memorize single English words. 4. Relate the word to terms we already know, either as

synonym or antonym. For example, the word "gargantuan" is similar in meaning to words "gigantic",

”huge" and "large". Make a sequence of words: "small, medium, large, gigantic, and gargantuan".

Create a mental image of the word that involves strong emotions. Think, "The gargantuan whale is go-

ing to swallow me whole".

Learning English words requires action. Complaining how difficult it is to memorize new words

will be of little help. 5. Have a try with ten words a day and you will see what a difference you will

make in our English learning.

A. So take action right now.

B. Speak the word while memorizing it.

C. Memorizing new words is very important.

D. Actually, some have given up learning new words.

E. In fact, learning new words needn't be that difficult.

F. Make as many associations and connections as possible.

G. The sound of word helps us recall the spelling and familiarizes us with the word.

What is the first thing you notice when you walk into a shop? The products displayed at the entrance? Or the soft background music?

But have you ever noticed the smell? Unless it is bad,the answer is likely to be no.But while a shop’s scent may not be outstanding compared with sights and sounds,it is certainly there. And it is providing to be an increasing powerful tool in encouraging people to purchase.

A brand store has become famous for its distinctive scent which floats through the fairly dark hall and out to the entrance via scent machines.A smell may be attractive but it may not just be used for freshening air.One sports goods company once reported that when it first introduced scent into its stores, customers’ intention to purchase increased by 80 percent.

When it comes to the best shopping streets in Pairs, scent is just as important to a brand’s success as the quality of its window displays and goods on sales.That is mainly because shopping is a very different experience to what it used to be.

Some years ago, the focus for brand name shopping was on a few people with sales assistants’ disproving attitude and don’t-touch-what-you-can’t-afford displays. Now the rise of electronic commerce (e-commerce) has opened up famous brands to a wider audience. But while e-shops can use sights and sounds, only bricks-and-mortar stores(实体店) can offer a full experience from the minute customers step through the door to the moment they leave. Another brand store seeks to be much more than a shop, but rather a destination.And scent is just one way to achieve this.

Now a famous store uses complex man-made smell to make sure that the soft scent of baby powder floats through the kid department, and coconut(椰子) scent in the swimsuit section.A department store has even opened a new lab, inviting customers on a journey into the store’s windows to smell books, pots and drawers, in search of their perfect scent.

1.According to the passage, what is an increasingly powerful tool in the success of some brand store?

A.Friendly assistant.

B.Soft background music.

C.Unique scents.

D.Attractive window display.

2.E-shops are mentioned in the passage to ________.

A.urge shop assistants to change their attitude

B.show the advantages of brick-and-mortar stores

C.push stores to use sights and sounds

D.introduce the rise of e-commerce

3.The underlined word “destination” in Paragraph 5 means ________.

A.a place where customers love to go

B.a spot where travelers like to stay

C.a platform that exhibits goods

D.a target that a store expects to meet

4.The main purpose of the passage is to ________.

A.compare and evaluate

B.inform and explain

C.argue and discuss

D.examine and assess

I love camping. It is my favorite way to spent the summer vacation. Last year, my family and I went camping in the countryside. It was one of the most excited experiences I had never had. We slept in a tent and went on a long walk every day. We cook over a fire and the food always tasted wonderfully.

For a whole week, I saw lovely mountain views or breathed fresh air. At night, I heard the gentle wind blowing in the tree, and I felt so peaceful. It doesn’t cost many to camp, and which I believe it’s the best way to get close nature and enjoy its beauty.
