    An idea that started in Seattle’s public library has spread throughout America and beyond. The concept is simple: help to build a sense of community in a city by getting everyone to read the same book at the same time.
    In addition to encouraging reading as a pursuit (追求) to be enjoyed by all, the program allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus, as well as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools. The idea came from Seattle librarian Nancy Pearl who launched (发起）the "If All of Seattle Read the Same Book " project in 1998. Her original program used author visits, study guides and book discussion groups to bring people together with a book, but the idea has since expanded to many other American cities, and even to Hongkong.
    In Chicago, the mayor(市长）appeared on television to announce the choice of To Kill a Mockingbird as the first book in the "One Book, One Chicago" program. As a result, reading clubs and neighbourhood groups sprang up around the city. Across the US, stories emerged of parents and children reading to each other at night and strangers chatting away on the bus about plot and character.
    The only problem arose in New York , where local readers could not decide on one book to represent the huge and diverse population. This may show that the idea works best in medium-sized cities or large towns, where a greater sense of unity(一致）can be achieved .Or it may show that New Yorkers rather missed the point ,putting all their energy
    And passion into the choice of the book rather than discussion about a book itself.
    Ultimately, as Nancy points out, the level of success is not measured by how many people read a book, but by how many people are enriched by the process, or have enjoyed speaking to someone with whom they would not otherwise have shared a word.
    小题1:What is the purpose of the project launched by Nancy?
    A．To invite authors to guide readers.
    B．To encourage people to read and share.
    C．To involve people in community service.
    D．To promote the friendship between cities.
    小题2:Why was it difficult for New Yorkers to carry out the project?
    A．They had little interest in reading.
    B．They were too busy to read a book.
    C．They came from many different backgrounds
    D．T hey lacked support from the local government
    小题3:According to the passage, where would the project be more easily carried out?
    A．In large communities with little sense of unity
    B．In large cities where libraries are far from home
    C．In medium-sized cities with a diverse population
    D．In large towns where agreement can be quickly reached
    小题4: The underlined words “shared a word” in Paragraph 5 probably mean     
    A．exchanged ideas with each other
    B．discussed the meaning of a word
    C．gained life experience
    D．used the same language
    小题5: According to Nancy, the degree of students of the project is judged by________
    A．the careful selection of a proper book
    B．the growing popularity of the writers
    C．the number of people who benefit from reading.
    D．the number of books that each person reads.

    Five years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day. “I was a clothes addict(迷),” he jokes. “I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled(皱的).” Today David wears casual clothes — khaki pants and a sports shirt — to the office. He hardly ever wears a necktie. “I’m working harder than ever,” David says, “and I need to feel comfortable.”
    More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work. In the United States, the changes from formal to casual office wear have been slow. In the early 1990s, many companies allowed their workers to wear casual clothes on Friday (but only on Friday).This became known as “dress-down Friday” or “casual Friday”. “What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for workers has really become an everyday thing,” said business adviser Maisly Jones.
    Why have so many companies started allowing their workers to wear casual clothes? One reason is that it’s easier for a company to attract new workers if it has a casual dress code. “A lot of young people don’t want to dress up for work,” says the owner of a software company, “so it’s hard to hire people if you have a conservative dress code.” Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes. In a study made by Levi Strauss and Company, 85 percent of employers said that casual dress has a side effect on work. Supporters of casual office wear also say that a casual dress code helps them save money. “Suits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day,” one person said. “For the same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes.”
    小题1:David Smith refers to himself as having been “a clothes addict” because ______________.
    A．he often wore khaki pants and a sports shirt
    B．he couldn’t stand a clean appearance
    C．he wanted his clothes to look tidy and clean all the time
    D．he didn’t want to spend much money on clothes
    小题2: David Smith wears casual clothes now, because ______________.
    A．they make him feel at ease when working
    B．he cannot afford to buy expensive clothes
    C．he looks handsome in casual clothes
    D．he no longer works for any company
    小题3:According to this passage, which of the following is FALSE?
    A．Many workers don’t like a conservative dress code.
    B．Comfortable clothes make workers more productive.
    C．A casual clothes code is welcomed by young workers.
    D．All the employers in the U.S. are for casual office wear.
    小题4:According to this passage, which of the following is TRUE?
    A．Company workers started to dress down about twenty years ago.
    B．Dress-down has become an everyday phenomenon since the early 1990s.
    C．“Dress-down Friday” was first given as a favor from employers.
    D．Many workers want to wear casual clothes to impress people.
    小题5: In this passage, the following advantages of casual office wear are mentioned EXCEPT ______________.
    A．saving worker’s money
    B．making workers more attractive
    C．improving worker’s feeling
    D．making workers happier

    When I was an official of a school in Palo Alto, California, Polly Tyner, the president of our board, wrote a letter that was printed in the Palo Alto Times. Polly’s son, Jim, had great difficulty in school. He was classified as the educationally handicapped and required a great deal of patience on the part of his parents and teachers. But Jim was a happy kid with a great smile that lit up the room. His parents knew his difficulties, but they always tried to help him see his strengths so that he could walk with pride. Shortly after Jim finished high school, he was killed in a motorcycle accident. After his death, his mother submitted this letter to the newspaper.
    “Today we buried our 20-year-old son. He was killed in a motorcycle accident on Friday night. How I wish I had known that the last time I had talked to him would be the last time. If I had only known that, I would have said to him, ‘Jim, I love you and I’m always so proud of you.’ I would have taken the time to count the many blessings he had brought to the lives of the people who loved him. I would have taken the time to appreciate his beautiful smile, his laughter, and his genuine love to other people.
    “When I put all the good things on the scale and try to balance them with all the irritating (恼人的) things such as the radio that was always too loud, the haircut that wasn’t to our liking, the dirty socks under the bed, etc., I find that the irritations really don’t amount to much.
    “I won’t get another chance to tell my son all that I would have wanted him to hear, but, other parents, do have a chance. Tell your young people what you would want them to hear as if it may be your last conversation. The last time I talked to Jim was the morning of the day when he died. He called me to say, ‘Hi, Mom! I just called to say I love you. You have to go to work now. Bye.’ That day, he gave me something to treasure forever. ”
    If there is any purpose at all for Jim’s death, maybe it is to make others appreciate life more and to tell people, especially family members, that they should take the time to let each other know just how much they care. You may never have another chance. Do it today!
    小题1:Who was Jim?
    A．The child of the Tyners’.B．The writer’s relative.
    C．The president of a school board.D．An official of a school.

    A．The learning difficulty.B．The physical problems.
    C．The psychological problems.D．The communication difficulty.
    小题3:According to the writer, which of the following about Jim is TRUE？
    A．He was always sad about his school marks.
    B．His parents always scolded him about his bad school marks.
    C．His study needed more attention from his parents and teachers.
    D．He was killed in a car accident.
    小题4:The purpose of Polly’s letter is to                .
    A．memorize her son
    B．teach parents to appreciate their children
    C．teach children how to be good boys
    D．give some advice on how to deal with children’s problems

    Please help! I live in Germany with my wife and three kids. My parents live in the UK. I want my kids to have as much contact with their grandparents as possible. The kids all use e-mail, Skype and SMS but my parents won’t. I’ve bought them a laptop, paid for broadband, given them both mobile phones and a digital camera, but they won’t use them. My parents say they hate computers and new technology. What can I do with these “technophobes”?
    Daniel, Buremburg, Germany
    Actually, the original technophobes were the Luddites, a group of cloth workers in 19th century Britain during the Industrial Revolution. The Luddite cloth workers, who traditionally made cloth by hand, were worried that machines were going to take away their jobs and way of life. These machines could make cloth much faster and cheaper than humans. In 1811 and 1812 the Luddites destroyed the machines that they hated so much, but the British government supported the factory owners. Many Luddites were arrested. Charlotte Bronte’s novel Shirley will tell your parents all about it.
    Laura, Valencia, Spain
    Laura makes some interesting points, I think. Technophobes has been a common theme in science fiction. Frankenstein, one of the first science fiction, is a warning of what could happen if humans began to experiment with human life.
    Freda, Copenhagen, Denmark
    One thing you could try is to find hardware that is designed for older people to use. An example is the mobiles made by the US company, Jitterbug. Instead of icons and menus the Jitterbug phones ask users simple “yes/no” questions and have larger keypads. The company realized that there are potentially 100 million older users in the US alone.

    Life gets noisier every day and very few people can be free from noise of some sort or another. It doesn't matter where you live--in the middle of a modern city, or a faraway village--the chances are that you' ll be disturbed by jet planes, radios, oil - powered engines, etc. We seem to be getting used to noise, too. Some people feel quite lonely without background music while they' re working.
    Scientific tests have shown that total silence can be a very frightening experience for a human being. However, some people enjoy listening to pop music which is very loud, and this can do harm to their eardrums(耳鼓). The noise level in some discos is far above the usual safety level for heavy industrial areas.
    One recent report about noise and concentration(专心) suggested that although a lot of people say that any noise disturbs their concentration, what really influences their ability to concentrate is a change in the level of noise. It goes on to say that a background noise which doesn't change too much(music, for example) may even help people to concentrate.
    小题1:According to this passage, the noise pollution         .
    A．has become the worst in the countrysideB．has become better in big cities
    C．has spread from cities to villagesD．has been controlled in modern cities
    小题2:Some people have their hearing harmed        .
    A．while listening to pop musicB．in complete silence
    C．when speaking loudlyD．while watching TV
    小题3:Scientists have discovered that what prevents people from concentrating on something is        .
    A．all kinds of noiseB．changes in the level of noise

    The law says women should have the chance of doing the same jobs as men and earn the same as them. The reality is very different. Women lose because, 25 years after the Equal Pay Act, many of them still get paid less than men. They lose because they do lower－paid jobs which men just won’t consider. And they lose because they are the ones who interrupt a career to have children. All this is reported in an independent study ordered by the Government’s women’s unit. The biggest problem isn’t equal pay in workplaces such as factories. It is the sort of work women do.
    Make a list of low－paid－jobs,  then consider who does them. Try nurses, secretaries, cleaners, clerks, teachers in primary schools, dinner ladies and child－care helpers. Not a lot of men among that group, are there? Yet some of those jobs are really important. Surely no one would deny that about nurses and teachers, for a start. So why do we reward the people who do them so poorly? There can be only one answer—because they are women. This is not going to be put right overnight. But the government, which employs a lot of them, and other bosses have to make a start.
    It is disgraceful（可耻的） that we have gone into the 21st century still treating women like second－class citizens. 
    小题1:
    Women should have the chance of doing the same jobs and getting the same pay as men_________.
    A．after 25 years
    B．according to the law
    C．as a result of those important jobs
    D．because women are as strong as men
    小题2:
    ．We can learn from the text that what really matters in this problem is_________.
    A．that women interrupt a career to have children
    B．what sort of work women do
    C．because they are women
    D．what unfair pay women get in workplaces
    小题3:
    ．Which of the following best describe the writer’s idea?
    A．Women and men should get equal pay for equal work.
    B．Women should strengthen themselves.
    C．The government ought to protect women against getting paid less than men.
    D．Some of the jobs that women do are of great importance.
    小题4:
    Which do you think would be the best title for this passage?
    A．Work to give women a fair pay dealB．The equal pay act
    C．The sort of work women doD．The biggest problem about women
