    Supermarket Morrisons today announced to launch an online shopping operation within two years in a move to catch up with its web-savvy rivals. The UK's fourth biggest supermarket said Morrisons.com would offer grocery and non-food products but would take time to build from zero.
    As part of its online development, Morrisons - the only one of the "Big Four" grocers to have a significant internet business - revealed it had invested £32 million in a 10% stake of a New York-based online grocer. The announcement came as Morrisons posted a 13% increase in underlying pre-tax profits of £869 million in the year to January 30.
    Morrisons is implementing a growth strategy which is focused on expanding its e-commerce business and moving into the convenience store market. It has earmarked £3 billion in investment over the next three years. The supermarket floated the idea of launching its own website last year and today is the first firm commitment to realising that goal.
    Last month, the company took its first major step to launching an online operation with the acquisition of internet retailer Kiddicare for £70 million. The company said this move, along with the 10% "strategic" stake in American online grocer FreshDirect announced today, would help it launch its own website in the future. FreshDirect was launched in 2002 and serves 600,000 customers in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. The deal will see Morrisons chief executive Dalton Philips join the company's board.
    Morrisons also revealed it would open three convenience stores, around 3,000 sq ft in size, in July under the name M Local. The shops will be located in Morrisons' heartland in the north of England, in neighbourhoods around the M62 motorway. The company said the convenience business was the second-fastest growing part of the market. Rival models include Tesco Metro and Sainsburys Local.

    B．Offering enough grocery and non-food products from zero
    C．Building more convenience stores and market in the United States
    D．Launching an online operation with the acquisition of interest retailer
    小题3:Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?
    A．Morrisons Has Many Business Rvials

    C．Morrisons Switches to Run Online Shopping

    Like most English children, I learned foreign languages at 36. When I made my first visit 37 the Unites States, I was 38 I could have a nice easy holiday without any 39 problem. But how 40 I was!
    At the American airport, I was looking for a public telephone to 41 my friend Jenny I had 41 . A worker asked if he could 43 me. “Yes,” I said. “I want to give my friend a ring.” “Well, that’s nice. Are you getting married?” he asked. “No,” I answered. “I just want to tell her 44 the phone I have arrived.” “Oh,” he said, “there is a 45 downstairs on the first floor.” “But we’re on the first floor now,” I said. “Well, I don’t know what you are 46 about. Maybe you aren’t feeling too well after your 47,” he said. “You just go and wash up, and you will feel a lot better.” And he went 48 , 49 me wondering where on earth I was: at home we wash up after a 50 to get the cups and plates clean. How can I wash up at an airport?
    At last we did 51. She 52 the misunderstanding(误会): American say “to give someone a 53 ”, but we English say “ to give someone a ring”. When we say “to wash your hands”, they say “to wash 54”. And Englishmen start numbering from the floor, so the 55 floor is the second for Americans.

    -American office workers spend an average of 52 hours a week at their desks, according to a statistic survey. Some might argue that not all that time is spent working，but still all those hours in windowless offices with artificial light can have an influence.
    A few green additions could have a large effect on worker happiness，according to the survey led by Tina Cade from Texas State University.
    “We pretty much found out that if you had windows and plants or even if you just had plants in your office, you were more satisfied with your job,” Cade told LiveScience. “We thought it was important for offices because a lot of times people are looking for ways to keep employees happy and do all these expensive things like building a gym. Maybe for less investment they could put in a few plants in important places.”
    The team surveyed 450 office workers in Texas and the Midwest，asking questions about job satisfaction and the work environments. When asked about their overall life quality,82 said they felt “content” or “very happy”. Only 69 percent of those who work with plants but without windows，and 60 percent of those who have windows but no plants, said they felt this way.
    The group of people who work without plants or windows were  the most dissatisfied，with only 58 percent of them saying that overall they were “content” or “very happy”. While no one who works with plants，windows，or both reported they felt “miserable”, 0.8 percent of those who work in offices without either said they were “miserable”. “I was really surprised that having a plant in your office appeared to be more beneficial than having a window in your office,” Cade said. “Everybody says, ‘I need a window!’ but actually it seemed like a plant could be a suitable alternative.”
    小题1:What does the passage mainly tell us?
    A．Green plants can increase job satisfaction.
    B．An easier way to increase job satisfaction.
    C．What the best working environment is.
    D．Who are happy with their job environment.
    小题2:Among the 450 people surveyed, ________.
    A．69 percent have plants in their offices
    B．60 percent have windows in their walls
    C．0.8 percent of them feel dissatisfied
    D．about 18 percent of them are satisfied
    小题3: According to the survey，the group of people who work without plants or windows ______.
    A．didn’t feel content at all
    B．all suffered from work pressure
    C．were the most dissatisfied
    D．worked with low efficiency
    小题4: Which of the following statement is true?
    A．The employers want to do little to keep employees happy.
    B．Sometimes it doesn’t need much to increase job happiness.
    C．A gym contributes less to job happiness than green plants.
    D．Employers have tried every means to increase job happiness.

    People often use gestures to express our feelings, but the problem is that the gestures can be understood in different ways.
    It is true that a smile means the same thing in any language.  So does laughter or crying.  Fear is another emotion(情感) that is shown in much the same way all over the world.  In Chinese and in English literature, a phrase like “he went pale and began to tremble” suggests that the man is either very afraid or he has just got a very big shock. 
    However, “he opened his eyes wide” is used to suggest anger in Chinese whereas in English it means surprise. In Chinese, surprise can be described in a phrase like “they stretched out their tongues!” “Stretching out your tongue” in English is an insulting(侮辱的, 无礼的)gesture or expresses strong dislike.
    Even in the same culture, people differ in their ability to understand and express feelings.  Experiments in America have shown that women are usually better than men at recognizing fear,  anger,  love and happiness on people’s faces. Other studies show that older people usually find it easier to understand body language than younger people do.
    小题1:Which of the following is TRUE according to the text? 
    A．We can easily understand what people’s gestures mean.
    B．It is difficult to tell what people’s gestures really mean sometimes.
    C．Gestures can be understood by most people but words are not.
    D．Words can be better understood by older people.
    小题2:People’s facial expressions may be misunderstood in different cultures because ______ .
    A．people from different cultures have different meanings about some facial expressions
    B．people speaking different languages have different facial expressions
    C．people of different ages may have different interpretations (解释)
    D．people of different sexes may understand a gesture differently
    小题3:From the passage,  we can conclude(得出结论) that ______ .
    A．words are often more difficult to understand than gestures
    B．gestures can be more effectively used than words to express feelings
    C．gestures can be used to express feelings
    D．gestures are used as frequently as words to express feelings
    小题4:The best title for this passage can be ______ .
    A．GesturesB．Feelings
    C．Culture and Understanding D．Gestures and Feelings

    Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are very busy trying to earn money in order to pay the 16 tuition(学费) for my brother and me. They don’t 17  in the romantic ways that I read in books or I see on TV. My father has a bad temper（脾气）; it’s easy for him to lose his temper.
    One day, my mother was sewing a quilt(缝被子). I 18 sat down beside her and looked at her.
    “Is there any 19  between you and Dad?” I asked her in a very low voice.My mother stopped her work and raised her head with  20  in her eyes. She didn’t answer immediately. Then she bowed her head and continued to sew the quilt. 21 at last I heard my mother say the following words:“Susan,” she said 22  , “Look at this thread（线）. Sometimes it appears, but most of it disappears in the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt strong and durable（耐用）. If life is a 23  , then love should be a thread. It can 24  be seen anywhere or anytime, but it’s really there. Love is 25.
    I listened carefully but I couldn’t understand her until the next  26  . At that time, my father suddenly got sick seriously. My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month. After they were 27, every day in the morning and dusk, my mother helped my father walk 28 on the country road. My father had never been so 29 . Along the country road, there were many beautiful flowers, green grass and trees. The sun gently shone through the leaves. All of these 30  the most beautiful picture in the world. The doctor had said my father would 31 in two months. But after two months he still couldn’t walk alone. We were all worried.
    “Dad, how are you feeling now?” I asked him one day. “Susan,” he said gently, “to tell you the truth, I just like 32  with your mom. I like this kind of life.” 33  his eyes, I knew he loved my mother deeply.
    Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and sweet kisses. But from this  34  , I understand that love is just a  35  in the quilt of out life. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.

    A federal agency on Tuesday called for a ban on all cellphone use by drivers -- the most far-reaching recommendation up to now — saying its decision was based on a decade of investigations into distraction-related(与分散注意力有关的) accidents, as well as growing concerns that powerful mobile devices are giving drivers even more reasons to look away from the road.
    As part of its recommendation, the National Transportation Safety Board is urging states to ban drivers from using hands-free devices, including wireless headsets. No state now has made laws to ban such activity, but the Board said that drivers faced serious risks from talking on wireless headsets, just as they do by taking a hand off the wheel to hold a phone to their ears.
    However, the concern was heightened by increasingly powerful phones that people can use to send e-mails, watch movies and play games.
    "Every year, new devices are being on sale." she said. "People are attracted to update their Facebook page, to play music with cellphone, as if sitting at a desk. But they are driving a car."
    The agency based its recommendation on evidence from its investigation of numerous crashes in which electronic distraction was a major contributing factor.
    Ms. Hersman said she understood that this recommendation would be unwelcome in some circles, given the number of drivers who talk and text. But she compared distracted driving to drunken driving and even smoking, which required wholesale cultural shifts to change behavior.
    "It's going to be very unpopular with some people." she said. "We're not here to win a popularity contest. We're here to do the right thing. This is a difficult recommendation, but it's the right recommendation and it is time."
    The agency's recommendation is not required for states to adopt such a ban. And it won't likely be agreed upon by state lawmakers who are unwillingly to anger those who have grown accustomed to using their device behind the wheel.
    The ban also deserves attention because it is the first call by a federal agency to end the practice completely, rather than the partial ban that some lawmakers have put in place by allowing hands-free talking.
    小题1:The ban on all cellphone use by drivers was put forward______.
    A．after a long discussion and recommendation
    B．after about ten years' investigation in it
    C．because of the most powerful mobile devices
    D．for the reason of heading away from the road
    小题2:From the second paragraph we know that now______.
    A．it is legal to use wireless headsets while driving
    B．wireless headsets are illegal in some states
    C．it is safe to talk on wireless headsets while driving
    D．hands-free devices can be used in some states
    小题3:We can know from the passage that______.
    A．electronic distraction resulted in numerous crashes
    B．numerous crashes were caused by drunk driving
    C．electronic distraction contributed much to the ban
    D．the recommendation was based on electronic distraction
    小题4:Ms Hersman thinks that distracted driving, drunken driving and smoking______.
    A．are just common behaviorsB．can be shifted to behaviors
    C．are behaviors to be changedD．are just cultural behaviors
    小题5:Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
    A．Cellphone Ban inCarsB．Valuable Ban for Cellphones
    C．Drivers Ban CellphonesD．Cellphone Ban while Driving
