With the trains stopped, no supplies can reach the town. Food and fuel are running out. Day after
day the girls must grind wheat for bread and twist hay to burn. At times they nearly lose the battle
to keep their spirits up.
This story provides a fascinating glimpse into the life of early American settlers.
F. Jane Eyre (Charlotte Bront?)
     Jane Eyre ranks as one of the greatest and most perennially popular works of English fiction.
Although the poor but plucky heroine is outwardly of plain appearance, she possesses an indomitable
spirit, a sharp wit and great courage. She is forced to battle against the exigencies of a cruel guardian,
a harsh employer and a rigid social order. All of which circumscribe her life and position when she
becomes governess to the daughter of the mysterious, sardonic and attractive Mr Rochester.
    However, there is great kindness and warmth in this epic love story, which is set against the
magnificent backdrop of the Yorkshire moors.

     Try touring the Shanghai World Expo Site at night if you are tired of the endless queues, the blazing
sun and crowds of people during the daytime. Nitht -time tickets for the Shanghai World Expo are already available, and tourists can enjoy a completely different view when night falls.

more pavilions. On the whole, although going at night allows only half the time during the day, tourists

     Third, the lights are all on at night, giving tourists a wonderful night view of bright lights that they cannot possibly see in the daytime. Dressed with all kinds of colored lights, the Expo Site looks brilliant and
charming at night.
      Fourth, the Expo is more pleasing and comfortable at night because pavilions provide more and better interactive activities at night. There are performances at the Expo Cultural Center every night, and concerts performed by world-famous singers on weekends.

account. Another survey showed that Facebook was almost as important as an iPod. At the end of 2005
Facebook came to the UK. And up to today the site has been translated into 35 languages.
     Six years after its start, Facebook has escaped the universities and colleges. More than half of its users are not at college any more and the fastest growing group are the 30 to 40-year-olds. Every day 15 million users update their profiles to tell their friends and the world what's happening to them. They also share
photos, upload videos, chat, make friends, join groups and simply have fun.

     Cell phone feels like a part of your body? A global survey has found that most people can't live
without their mobiles, never leave home without them and, if given a choice, would rather lose their wallet.
     Calling mobile phones the "remote control" for life, market research firm Synovate's poll (民调) said
cell phones are so ubiquitous that by last year more humans owned one than did not.
     Three-quarters of the more than 8,000 respondents (受访者) polled online in 11 countries said they
take their phone with them everywhere, with Russians and Singaporeans the most attached. More than a
third also said they couldn't live without their phone, topped by Taiwanese and again Singaporeans, while
one in four would find it harder to replace the mobile than their purse. Some two-thirds of respondents go
to bed with their phones nearby and can't switch them off, even though they want to, because they're
afraid they'll miss something.
     "Mobiles give us safety, security and instant access to information. They are the number one tool of
communication for us, sometimes even surpassing face-to-face communication. They are our connections
to our lives," Jenny Chang, Synovate's managing director in Taiwan, said in a statement.
     Mobiles have also changed the nature of relationships, with the survey finding nearly half of all
respondents use text messages to flirt, a fifth set up first-dates via (通过) text and almost the same
number use the same method to end a love affair.
     Apart from the obvious calling and texting, the top three features people use regularly on their mobile
phones globally are the alarm clock, the camera and the games.
      As for email and Internet access, 17 percent of respondents said they checked their inboxes or surfed
the Web on their phones, led by those in the United States and Britain. One in 10 respondents log onto
social networking websites such as Facebook and MySpace regularly via mobile, again led by Britain and
the United States.
     "As the mobile becomes more and more an all-in-one device, many other businesses are facing
challenging times. The opportunities for mobile manufacturers and networks however are enormous,"
said Synovate's global head of media, Steve Garton.
     Not everyone is tech savvy (科技通), however: 37 percent of respondents said they don't know how
to use all the functions on their phone.
1. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. 75 % of the respondents in Russia take their phone everywhere.
B. Over a third of Singaporeans couldn't live without their phone.
C. About a fifth of the respondents use texting to end a love affair.
D. 10% of the respondents surf Facebook and MySpace via their phones,
2. The underlined word "ubiquitous" in paragraph 2 most probably means ________.
A. existing everywhere    
B. unusual    
C. a lot advanced          
D. inexpensive
3. According to the passage, the first three regular functions of mobile phones worldwide are
     probably ________.
A. calling, texting and emailing      
B. the alarm clock, the camera and the games
C. calling, texting and the alarm clock  
D. email, Internet access and the alarm clock
4. What can be concluded from the passage?
A. People could not live without their cell phones.
B. Mobile manufacturers and networks are facing challenges.
C. The more functions a mobile phone has, the more people will rely on it.
D. Quite a few cell phone users usually use the main features on their phone.
5. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?
A. Russians and Singaporeans depend on cell phones most.
B. People would rather lose wallet than cell phone.
C. People go to bed with cell phones on.

     Ever since Jerusha started her college, she began to write letters. Through a series of letters, from freshman to senior in college, she shared her life and study with an unknown gentleman, who never wrote back. Here is the very first letter.
Dear Mr. Kind,    
     Here I am! I traveled yesterday for four hours in a train. It's a funny experience. I never rode in one
before.    
     College is the biggest, most confusing place - I get lost whenever I leave my room. I will tell you more
later when I'm feeling less puzzled. Now I want to write a letter first just to get me familiar to you.    
     It seems strange to be writing letters to somebody you don't know. It seems strange for me to be
writing letters at all - I've never written more than three or four in my life, so please overlook it if they are
not a model kind.    
     Before leaving yesterday morning, Mrs. Lippett and I had a very serious talk. She told me how to
behave, especially towards the kind gentleman who is doing so much for me. I must take care to be very
respectful.    
      I have been thinking of you a great deal this summer; having somebody take an interest in me after all
these years makes me feel as though I had found a sort of family. It seems as though I belonged to
somebody now, and it's a very comfortable feeling. I must say, however, that when I think about you, my
imaqination has very little to work upon.
    
     There are just three things that I know:    
     I .You are tall.    
     II .You are rich.     
     III. You hate girl.    
     I suppose I might call you Dear Mr. Girl-Hater. Only that's rather unpleasant to me. Or Dear Mr. Rich-Man, but that's unpleasant to you, as though money were the only important thing about you. Maybe you won't stay rich all your life; But at least you will stay tall all your life! So I decide to call you Dear
Daddy-long-legs. I hope you won't mind. It's just a private pet name - we won't tell Mrs. Lippett. The
ten o'clock bell is going to ring in two minutes. Our day is divided by bells. We eat and sleep and study by bells. There it goes! Lights out. Good night.     
     You can see how strictly I obey rules due to my training in the John Grier Home.
                                                                                                                   Yours most respectfully,
                                                                                                                          Jerusha Abbott
1. Which of the following is NOT the reason for Jerusha to write the letter to Mr.Kind?                          
A. To get her familiar to him.                                                                                  
B. To present her thankfulness to him.                                                                          
C. To share her brand-new college life with him.                                                                
D. To apologize to him for not writing letters too often.                                                        
2. If Mrs. Lippett learned that the writer calls the man she writes to Daddy-long-legs, she would
probably_____.      
A. burst into laughter                                                                                          
B. think it acceptable                                                                                          
C. criticize the writer                                                                                          
D. inform the man                                                                                                
3. By "when I think about you, my imagination has very little to work upon.", the writer intends to tell us
that_____.
A. the man she writes to is dull and boring                                                                      
B. she is not familiar with the one she writes to                                                                
C. it is not interesting at all to write to a stranger                                                          
D. she lacks imagination when it comes to writing a letter                                                      
4. Jerusha was probably _____while she worked on the letter.                                                
A. curious                                                                                                      
B. light-hearted

     Vans, Keds, Dollies-they sound like the names of rock bands, but if you have teenagers, you'll know
they're actually the latest in teenage footwear.
     But experts are now warning that the current shoe fashions will be causing teenagers discomfort in the
short term and storing up years of foot, knee and back pain in the future. Here, the experts identify the
problems caused by teenagers' shoe choice.
KEDS/VANS

     Slipon shoes with elastic (弹性的) sides are particularly  popular  among  teenage  boys-with Keds
and Vans the most soughtafter brands.
     The main problem is that they are just too flat-so flat that the heel, which strikes the ground first, also
becomes damaged and painful.

     BALLET PUMPS
     The worst shoes of all are such light and thin dolly shoes. The problem is partly their flatness, as with
Keds and Vans. However ballet pumps, which have no string or heel, have other specific problems.
     "As the shoe has no fastening device, it relies on the toes to keep the shoe on, causing an awkward
gait (步法) , this leads to short-and longterm problems such as calluses (茧子), heel and knee pain."

     WEDGES AND STILETTOS
     These shoes can also cause problems with gait. They may look good, but the heels on these are so
high they can force the wearer's body weight forward, making them very unstable.
Teens who wear these shoes regularly are also in danger of joining those millions of women with constant
back pain.
     SCHOOL SHOES
     So what do podiatrists (足科医生)have on their wish list, especially for everyday wear?
     Something in a natural, breathable fabric, with a string to hold it on, with a small heel and a deep
toebox that does not press the toes, such as Clark's, Marks & Spencer or Rhino.
     If your teen insists on wearing 'bad' shoes, get them some simple foot orthotics(矫形器) in the shoes.
These support and correct the movement of the foot and, properly fitted by a podiatrist, can often
transform their walk and halt the damage.
1. Of all the shoes mentioned in the passage, which can cause the worst problems?
A. Marks & Spencer.
B. Wedges & Stilettos.
C. Keds and Vans.
D. Ballet Pumps.
2. Which pair of shoes may NOT be found on the podiatrists' wish list?
3. The underlined word" halt" in the last paragraph probably means________.
A. increase      
B. worsen      
C. stop          
D. cure
4. From this passage we can infer________.
A. trendy shoes may ruin teenagers' health
B. fashionable shoes all have orthotics in them
C. experts are strongly against wearing popular shoes
D. podiatrists are expert at producing branded shoes

     More than half of rich Americans have not shown their full wealth to their children, a new survey
showed last Tuesday.
     The survey, published by the Bank of America, studied the rich with $ 3 million or more in assets. It
found that "surprisingly few of those surveyed have well-developed plans to preserve and pass on their
assets to their children."
     The majority of the 457 people surveyed are self-made, first-generation rich. Fifty-two percent of parents have chosen not to tell their children just how wealthy they are, and 15 percent have given away
othing about the family wealth. one in three parents said they had never thought to do it.
     They are worried that their children would become lazy, spend money freely, make bad decisions and
even become a target for gold diggers.
     Only 34 percent strongly agreed that their children would be able to handle any inheritance(遗产)they
plan to leave them.
     "There is an expectation about the wealthy parents that they have a responsibility to pass down their
fortune to the next generation."said Sallie Krawcheck, president of the Bank of America Global Wealth
and investment Management."Our research, however,uncovered changing views of what one generation
owes the next."
     The trend is led by the world's richest man Bill Gates, who promised in 2008 that he would leave his
$58 billion fortune to the charity started by him and his wife, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation(基金会),and not to his children.
     "We want to give it back to society in the way that it will have the most positive impact."he said.
Of his plans for his children, Gates said:"I will give the kids some money but not a meaningful percentage...
they will need to work but they will feel reasonably taken care of."
1. We can learn from the passage that________.                                    
A. rich parents may not know how to manage their inheritance                      
B. rich parents don't equal rich kids, at least in the US                          
C. American children don't get to inherit their parents' wealth                    
D. poor children don't expect themselves to be as rich as their parents            
2. According to the survey, most rich Americans________.                          
A. think they owe their children nothing                                          
B. think it best to give their money back to society                              
C. doubt their children's ab ility to handle wealth                                
D. are confident of their children's ability to handle wealth                      
3. The underlined word"they"in Paragraph 6 refers to______.                      
A. responsible children                                                            
B. Bill Gates and his wife                                                        
C. first-generation rich                                                          
D. rich parents                                                                    
4. From the last paragraph, we can see that Bill Gates wants to show________.      
A. the trend of leaving no inheritance to children                                
B. the positive impact of charity on society                                      
C. the way of giving back to society                                              
D. the importance of independence for children

     The sea has always interested man. From it he can get food, minerals, and treasure.    1   But he
could not go far beneath its surface.
          2   However, he is not a fish. He must breathe air, so he can't stay under the water's surface for
any length of time. To explore deep water, man faces even more dangers and problems.
     A diver who wants to stay under water for more than a few minutes must breathe air or a special
mixture of gases.   3   He can carry a tank of air on his back and breathe through a nose and a
mouthpiece. Water weighs 800 times as much as air. Tons of water pushes against a diver deep in the
sea.   4   
     When a diver is under great pressure, his blood takes in some of the gases he breathes. As he rises
to surface, the water pressure becomes less. If the diver rises too quickly, the gases in his blood form
bubbles(气泡). The diver is then suffering from the bends(潜水夫病). The bends can cause a diver to
double up in pain.     5
