    When my friend went to Europe last summer, instead of snapping photographs of the Louvre or the Eiffel Tower or Stonehenge, she brought back 32 rolls of ... Cathedral(大教堂的) ceilings. Ceilings. For the 10 years I’ve known her I had never suspected that she was this passionate about stained glass.

    Still one of the best things about such pictures — despite their obvious narrow appeal — is that they can’t help but tell us a great deal about the people who took them.

    So I shouldn’t have been surprised when I got the roll of film back from my 5-year-old son’s first camping trip. I opened the envelope, naively expecting to see pictures of the nightly campfire, the sun setting over the forest, and possibly even a deer or two.

    Instead, I saw an off-center picture of tennis shoes. Not even his tennis shoes, mind you, but a pair someone had lost and left in the cabin. Mystery shoes. And that’s not all.

    As I went through the stack, I found that my son had also taken a picture of his sleeping bag, a penny he found in the gravel next to the car, a leaf, an orange sock, a close-up of his father’s ear, a burned hot dog, his thumb, a piece of gum, and many other similar things.

    There was barely one sign of nature in the whole stack. I couldn’t help thinking that if he’d wanted pictures of assorted junk, it would’ve been cheaper had he spent the weekend in our back-yard.

    AT LEAST that is what I thought until I showed the photographs to my ceiling-snapping friend, the mother of three teenagers, who said simply, “There’s nothing wrong with these.”

    But of course, this is just the type of answer you’d expect from someone who photographs ceiling.

    Then she told me about the time her daughter went to Yosemite Valley and returned with rolls of photographs of the hotel, restaurant, and gift shop. She also told me about the time her son took his camera to a Major League Baseball game and returned with 24 pictures of cloud formations.

    I had a feeling she was just trying to make me feel better.

    Then again, to a 5-year-old boy, finding a penny is more exciting than seeing a squirrel. And why would he waste good film on something like, say, some endangered water buffaloes, when he could take a picture of cool tennis shoes? Or his shiny new green sleeping bag?

    Face it: Things like beautiful sunsets and campfires can’t compare to a bag of extra-large marshmallow.

    So I did what any good mother would do: I marked the date on the back of the pictures and slid them into our family vacation photo album — right after the five pages of ice sculptures I took last year on our cruise to the Bahamas.

    1.Who might have taken a picture of the back seat of the family car in his or her trip mentioned in this passage?

    A. The author’s friend.

    B. The author’s son.

    C. The author.

    D. The author’s friend’s daughter.

    2.The author changed her mind on her son’s picture taking because______ .

    A. her friend persuaded her to do so

    B. her son’s pictures finally struck her

    C. she realized the truth by herself inspired by the surrounding examples

    D. it suddenly occurred to her that she herself had also taken unique pictures before

    3.What can we infer from this passage?

    A. Different people perceive the world from different angles, which may vary according to their age, gender, life experiences and so on.

    B. The author’s friend is a better mum in terms of educating children.

    C. The author will educate her son to take pictures of nature instead of some boring things.

    D. The author will take vacation pictures of different kind from her past ones.

    My mother is taking a tour of the new house via Skype. I leaned the laptop so she can see where she's going,pleased that our Internet connection in Zimbabwe is holding. "This is the living room," I say. Then I tell mydaughter,s;Show Grandma the bed for the mummy and the daddy. " From a continent away, Grandma gave herapproval.

    Mum had a dollhouse,too. My grandmother,a single mother, did not have enough money to buy my mother areal dollhouse. So Mum made do,laboring over her square cookie tin for years. She stuck patterns on the bright walls : tin cans of jam and bags of flour to make sure the dolls' store was overflowing.

    My mother passed her love of life in miniature( 缩影 ) on to me very early. At age 5,1 made chests of drawers for my dollhouse bedroom from matchboxes glued together. Unlike my mother,l was given some ready-made doll furniture and accessories. My mother encouraged me,always responding to my calI,"Come to see what I've made Lrur IIly clollhuuse ! "

    I spent hours writing a book with the unoriginal but certainly accurate title " How To Make Dolls' House Furniture". The book was lost in a household move. But the satisfying feeling of filling up blank pages with my

    own ideas stayed with me,pushing me into a career centered on words.

    My daughter turned 3 recently, and last month I put a strong empty cardboard box,about the size of a tea tray(托盘) ,in Cassia's bedroom. I searched the shops for dollhouse furniture. But an afternoon's searching yielded only a pink plastic toilet and sink. It doesn't matter,l told myself. I showed Cassia how to make plates for her table from coloured buttons. Fascinated, she collected black stones.

    What my mother gave me was much more than a fascination with tiny things :It was the ability to view things from a new perspective(角度) , to put oneself in another person's shoes , and to solve problems with whatever is at hand.

    1.What was the writer's mother looking at is_____.

    A. a photo of a house online

    B. a house in Zimbabwe

    C. Cassia's self-made dollhouse

    D. the writer's newly-bought house

    A. often showed it off to her mother

    B. asked for help from others

    C. bought lots of doll furniture

    D. spent hours reading a book about dollhouses

    3.We can infer that the writer______.

    A. built her own house with different materials

    B. made all accessories herself for her house

    C. learned to become a house designer

    D. made a living by writing books

    4.What did the writer learn from her mother?

    A. To live independently in one s own house.

    B. To find treasure of tiny things from the trash

    C. To solve problems from a different view.

    D. To avoid putting on another person's shoes.

    The London Eye 4D Film Experience started in August and is included in the London Eye ticket price. It is a fantastic 4D film to entertain you before your trip on the London Eye. The 4D effects are great.

    No Extra Cost to You

    That’s right; you buy your ticket for the London Eye and 4D cinema experience. Merlin Entertainments, the London Eye owners, spent 5 million creating the film and building the 4D cinema and wanted to improve the value for money of the London Eye.

    What to Expect

    The 4D Cinema entrance is in the ticket hall. So after buying your ticket, go straight to it, where you’ll be given a pair of glasses. About 160 visitors will pass through the 4D cinema every 8 minutes so don’t worry about waiting time. People in the bright pink cinema are all standing on four levels. The top level is designed for wheelchairs.

    London Eye 4D Film

    Put on your glasses and enjoy yourself. The story is about a little girl visiting London with her father and she wants to be higher to get a better view so she comes to the London Eye. It differs from watching the 3D film for all your senses are involved. When it snows on screen, you feel it snows in the cinema. And when you watch the fireworks, you can really smell them.

    For a short film, less than four minutes, before the main attraction you think you’ve come for, you are going to love this free extra. I stood there with my mouth wide open at the end as many others did. It’s fantastic! The effects are the Hollywood standard as no expense is spared. I was lucky enough to try the film three times on the first day and I still want to go back again.

    1. What does the author mainly tell us in this passage?

    A. He mainly introduces the 4D film of Merlin Entertainments.

    B. He mainly introduces the London Eye entertainment centre.

    C. He mainly tells us his experiences while creating the 4D film.

    D. He mainly introduces to us how to take part in the 4D film.

    2.Why did the Merlin Entertainments build the 4D film cinema?

    A. Because it wanted to attract more visitors to London.

    B. Because it could earn more money from the public in the UK.

    C. Because it could provide more entertainments for visitors.

    D. Because it wanted to increase the value of the London Eye.

    3.Where could people get into the 4D film cinema?

    A. In the Hollywood. B. In the ticket hall.

    C. Under the London Eye. D. In the ticket centre.

    4.While seeing a 4D film, people will feel ________.

    A. greatly frightened B. much worried

    C. sweet smell D. as if they were on the scene

    We Chinese are not big huggers. A handshake or a pat on the shoulder is enough to express our friendship or affection (love) to one another. So when our newly-acquainted Western friends reach out in preparation for a hug, some of us feel awkward. Many questions go through our head. Where should I put my arms? Under their armpits or around their neck? What distance should I keep? Should our chests touch?

    It’s even more difficult with friends from some European countries. Should I kiss them on the cheek while hugging? Which side? Or is it both cheeks? Which side should I start on?

    But it isn’t just people from cultures that are conservative(保守的) in expressing physical contact who find hugging confusing．Hugs can cause discomfort or even distress(pain) in people who value their personal space．

    In a recent article for The Wall Street Journal, US psychologist Peggy Drexler said that although the US remains a “medium touch” culture, Americans do seem to be hugging more. From politicians to celebrities（famous people）, hugs are given to friends, strangers and enemies alike; whether they are willing or not; and the public has been quick to pick up the practice.

    Public figures know that nothing expresses likeability(亲和力)like a good hug. US First Lady Michelle Obama has put her arms around icy foreign leaders like Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev and the Queen of England on the latter occasion actually breaking the rule of royal manners.

    But not all are grateful to be embraced(hugged), even by the most influential and famous. To them, any hug is offensive(冒犯的) if it’s not sincere.

    Amanda Hess, writing for US magazine Slate, says public figures should stop imposing（强加） hugs on everyone they meet. For them, a hug is rarely a gesture of sincere fellowship, compassion or affection. It’s all part of a show. Hugs are falsely intimate power plays used by public figures to establish their social dominance(主导) over those in their grasp.

    Cecilia Walden, a British journalist writing for The Telegraph who lives in New York, holds the same opinion. “Power-hugging”, as she calls it, is “an offender dressed up as kindness”. It has become a fashion in the US where “bosses are already embracing their staff (either shortly before or after firing them), men and women ,their friends or enemies, in a thousand cheating displays of unity”.

    1.From the first third paragraphs, we can see that ___________.

    A. we Chinese people don’t know how to hug

    B hugs can bring pressure to people when used improperly

    C. people from European countries often get puzzled about hugging

    D. people in Western countries seldom use hugs to express their physical closeness

    2.The example of US first lady Michelle Obama is given to show that __________.

    A. hugs are forbidden in England

    B. she is much liked by American people

    C. Americans hold a “medium touch ”culture

    D. public figures know hugging functions well in public

    3.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined phrase “pick up the practice”?

    A．Follow the trend．

    B．Enjoy the medium touch culture．

    C．Give hugs to enemies．

    D．Resist physical touch．

    4.What can be the best title of this passage?

    A. Hugs, tricky affair? B. Hugs, vital or not?

    C. Hugs and public figures D. Hugs and power

    Too much eating. Too many unhealthy foods. Too many ads for food. Too few activities. Different reasons are given for America’s weight problem---a problem increasingly shared by other countries. Almost one-fifth of American children and teenagers are overweight.

    Schools have been asked to increase physical education, an important tool for public health. However, a recent study has shown an increase in the number of injuries in P.E. classes.

    Researchers say one possible reason for this is a decrease in the number of school nurses. Schools without a nurse on duty may be more likely to send an injured child to a hospital.

    Another possible reason for more injuries is a change in the traditional idea of physical education. This “New P.E.” expands the kinds of sports that are taught. But activities that some schools offer now, like rock climbing and skateboarding, can also increase the risks, says Cheryl Richardson, who is with the National Association for Sport and Physical Education(NASPE).

    She also says not all states require P.E. teachers to be specially trained. Untrained teachers could be less likely to recognize unsafe conditions.

    Cheryl Richardson points to one of the study’s findings –that injuries are often the result of contact with a person or a structure. This tells her that the teachers were not giving each student enough space to move around safely.

    Six activities produced seventy percent of all injuries: running, basketball, football, volleyball, rugby and gymnastics.

    The researchers say larger class sizes are another possible reason for the increase in injuries. Larger classes can mean less supervision(监督). The National Association for Sport and Physical Education says twenty to thirty students in a P.E. class should be the limit.

    1.What does the passage mainly discuss?

    A. What leads to the weight problem in America.

    B. Whether students should have more P.E. classes.

    C. Why there have been more injuries in P.E. classes.

    D. What kinds of activities are safe for school students.

    2.We can know from the third paragraph that__________.

    A. nurses are paid more in hospitals than in schools in America.

    B. many nurses in American schools don’t have good skills.

    C. fewer people choose to become a nurse in America.

    D. American schools need more school nurses at present.

    3.Which of the following statements is TRUE?

    A. P.E. classes become more dangerous for students now in America.

    B. Fewer and fewer students are interested in P.E. classes in America.

    C. The number of P.E. teachers in schools must be increased now.

    D. P.E. classes follow the traditional ideas in physical education.

    4.According to Cheryl Richardson,____________.

    A. students should do more exercise when they are at school

    B. teachers are partly responsible for injuries in P.E. classes

    C. the equipment for P.E. classes must be improved in all schools.

    D. P.E. teachers should give students more freedom in their classes
