There is a boy called Bill in my gym class who has unbearably yellow teeth that almost make everyone feel unpleasant£®Recently another boy told Bill that he should "go Ajax" his teeth£®Bill was crushed£®If the other boy had been thinking, he would have realized that there is a better way to handle such a situation£®He could have dealt with it with tact£®He could have showed this hurtful truth in a more careful, sensitive way¡ªthat's "tact"£®
If a person isn't sensitive to another's feelings, there is no way he or she can be tactful£®Yesterday, my 5-year-old brother proudly announced that he had cleaned the screen on our television set£®Unfortunately, he used furniture polish, which produced an oily film on the television screen£®My mother smiled arid thanked him for his efforts¡ªand then showed how to clean the screen properly£®Her sensitivity enables my brother to keep his self-respect£®Yet, sensitivity alone does not make tact£®
"Tactfulness" also requires "truthfulness"£®Doctors, for example must be truthful£®If a patient has just been disabled in an accident, a tactful doctor will tell the truth¡ªbut express it with sensitivity£®The doctor may try to give the patient hope by telling them curing techniques under study or about advanced equipment now available£®Doctors must use tact with patients' relatives as well£®Instead of bluntly saying, "Your husband is disabled," a doctor might say, "I'm sorry, but your husband has lost feeling in his legs and£®£®£®"
Tact should not be confused with trickery£®Trickery occurs when a nurse is about to give a patient an injection£¨×¢É䣩 and says, "This won't hurt a bit£®" Instead of trickery, the nurse might guarantee the patient that the discomfort of the injection is a small thing compared to the benefits of it£®It would also be thoughtful for the nurse to tell the patients about some of these benefits£®
Tact is a wonderful skill to have, and tactful people are usually admired and respected£®Without tact our society would become an intolerable place to live in£®
СÌâ1:The underlined word "crushed" in the first paragraph probably means____£®
A£®surprisedB£®cheatedC£®regretfulD£®painful
СÌâ2:According to the author, his mother's praise for the brother is ____£®

Burns can be caused by fire, the sun, chemicals, heated objects or fluids, and electricity. They can be minor problems or life-threatening emergencies. Distinguishing a minor burn from a more serious burn involves determining the degree of damage to the tissues of the body. If you are not sure how serious the burn is, seek emergency medical help.
First-degree burns are those in which only the outer layer of skin is burned. The skin is usually red and some swelling (Ö×´ó) and pain may occur. Unless the burn involves large portions of the body, it can be treated at home.
Second-degree burns are those in which the first layer of skin has been burned through and the second layer of skin is also burned. In these burns, the skin reddens intensely and blisters (Ë®ÅÝ) develop. Severe pain and swelling also occur. Second-degree burns require medical treatment.
Third-degree burns are the most serious and involve all layers of skin. Fat, nerves, muscles, and even bones may be affected. Areas may be charred black or appear a dry white. If nerve damage is substantial, there may be no pain at all. These burns require emergency medical attention.
Follow these steps when treating minor burns at home:
1) If the skin is not broken, run cool water over the burn for several minutes.
2) Cover the burn with a sterile (Ïû¹ý¶¾µÄ) bandage or clean cloth.
3) Take aspirin to relieve any swelling or pain.
Seek emergency treatment immediately for major burns. Before an emergency unit arrives, follow these steps:
1) Remove the person from the source of the burn (fire, electrical current, etc.).
2) If the person is not breathing, begin mouth-to-mouth resuscitation (È˹¤ºôÎü) immediately.
3) Remove all clothing to stop further burning. If the clothing is stuck to the burn, do not attempt to remove it.
4) Cover the burned area with a cool, moist, sterile bandage or clean cloth. Do not place any creams, ointments (Ò©¸à) or ice on the burned area or break blisters.
5) Monitor the patient for signs of shock, and treat accordingly.
СÌâ1:The underlined sentence in the first paragraph probably means ¡°______¡±.
A. They can be dangerous if you don¡¯t treat them seriously
£Â. They range from slight burns to deadly ones
C. They seldom cause deaths even if not treated properly
D. They usually cause deaths if not treated properly
СÌâ2:Burns are divided into different degrees according to _______.

Alaskan black bears hibernate for up to seven months a year, during which time they do not eat or drink, before waking up in virtually the same physical state they fell asleep in£®
Now experts hope to develop methods of putting humans into a similar state which could help astronauts survive long missions and lead to new ways of treating severely ill patients£®
While many studies have examined hibernation in mice and hedgehogs, little research has been done into the same condition in larger mammals such as bears£®
But new research conducted at the Institute of Arctic Biology at the University of Alaska monitored the animals' body temperature, heart rate and muscle movements while they slept.
The research results showed that during a five-month hibernation the bears¡¯ body temeratures varied between 30¡æ and 36¡æ in cycles that lasted between two and seven days¡ªa pattern that was previously unknown in hibernating animals.
The research project leader said, "If our research could help by showing how to reduce metabolic(г´úлµÄ) rates and oxygen demands in human tissues, one could possibly save severely ill patients. We simply need to know how to turn things on and off to take advantage of the different levels of hibernation."
Craig Heller, of Stanford University, who contributed to the study, added: "There has always been a thought that, if there is ever long-distance space travel, it would be good to be able to put people into a state of lower metabolism or a state of hibernation. That's almost science fiction but you can see the logical basis."
СÌâ1:We know from the text that            .
A£®during winter Alaskan black bears sleep for more than half a year

Members of the working class have blue-collar jobs. They are construction workers, truck drivers, mechanican, steel workers, electricians, and the like. What makes this class differ from the lower class is, first, longer periods of employment¡ªand therefore, more fixed incomes¡ªand , second, employment in skilled or semi-skilled occupations, not unskilled ones. Although unemployment hits all levels of the American economy, including those of skilled and semi-skilled workers, it is most common at the bottom of the class structure and increasingly less common at each level upward. They consider themselves to be respectable and hard-working and they look down upon members of the ¡°low¡± class, whom they often consider to be lazy, dishonest, and too ready to exploit public assistance.
Most people in the working class have at least high school education. Many have some experience of college(especially community college), though few are college graduates. Unionization has helped the working class, but a rapidly changing economy and frequent periods of high unemployment make it difficult for most of its members to be able to increase their savings greatly. Purchasing a house for people in this class is extremely difficult, although a certain percentage may receive houses from their parents. (Home-owning rises with social class.)
A greater number of the members of the working class take relatively little satisfaction in their jobs, because much of their work is ordinary and boring. As a result, many seek their main satisfaction in recreational activities. Many members of this class would like to earn enough money to leave their jobs and start their own businesses, though few make it. Many place their expectations on their children, hoping that they at least will rise in the ladder of success.
СÌâ1: Which of the following is true about the working class?
A£®They are often offered jobs with high incomes.
B£®They are employed as skilled and semi-skilled workers.
C£®They are often considered lazy and dishonest.
D£®They are often exploited by the public.

The market investigation is indispensable to sales promotion. They are as closely related as the lips and teeth, so to speak. What you produce is for sale on the market. It would be impossible to succeed in selling a product without first investigating the market.
In the international market, goods on sale coming from different countries and suppliers are always facing keen competition. Under such circumstances, they will try everything possible to familiarize themselves with the market conditions. In making investigations, we ought to get information about what similar items the competitors are offering on the market, what prices they are quoting£¨±¨¼Û£©, what features their products have, who are their regular customers, etc. Then, how can we obtain such information? There are many channels that we can make use of in doing this sort of work. The commercial counselor's offices of our embassies stationed abroad can help us in making market investigations. Nowadays, our import and export corporations send their trade groups abroad every now and then. One of their purposes is to make market surveys on the spot.
Certainly, face-to-face talks with foreign businessmen are also important channels to get market information. The Chinese Export Commodities Fairs and some other fairs of similar nature as well as visits of foreign businessmen provide us with such opportunities. Of course, there are some other ways of making market investigations.
СÌâ1:In making market investigations, one should ______.
A£®get enough information concernedB£®advertise his products
C£®produce high quality goodsD£®none of the above

teeth.
B£®It is impossible to succeed in selling a product without market investigation.
C£®There are various ways of making market investigation.
D£®Production goes before market investigation.
СÌâ4:All the following are channels to get market information except ________.
A£®to have commercial counsellor' s office of our embassies stationed abroad
B£®to promote the quality of our own products

New media has been growing fast and influencing people¡¯s lives in ways few things have done before. In 2010, China¡¯s new media industry witnessed explosive development. But with ¡°new¡± comes uncertainties and challenges. The following are brief reviews on the development of China¡¯s new media and outlooks on its future.
I. Micro-blogging (΢²©)   
Short and convenient, micro-blogs also experienced ¡°a big bang¡± in China last year, with the number of micro-bloggers at China¡¯s popular portal(ÃÅ»§ÍøÕ¾) sina.com.cn almost doubling in less than six months. Afterwards, the other three major web portals, including sohu.com, qq.com and 163.com, each set up their own micro-blogging services. With more government officials and entities(ʵÌå) registering, China¡¯s micro-blogging services are expected to play a more important role in connecting the public and the governments in 2011.
µÚÒ»½Ú                         Search Engines
Baidu¡¯s position in the search engine market would face fierce challenges from sohu.com,
Microsoft¡¯s Bing and goso.cn from the People¡¯s Daily. Xinhua is also preparing to start its search engine together with China Mobile, a leading company in mobile networks. Goso and Xinhua both have the advantage of providing content, while Bing has a big edge in technology and funds. They are expected to pose threats(Íþв) to Baidu in 2011.
µÚ¶þ½Ú                         Internet of Things
IoT refers to a network of real-world objects linked by the Internet and interacting through on-line services. China set up its first IoT research center in Shanghai in March 2010.Within the same week, Premier Wen Jiabao stated in the annual government report that it would ¡°accelerate the research and development, as well as application of the Internet of Things. ¡±
However, some experts say China¡¯s IoT is still in an early stage, and it¡¯ll take a long time for it to let the public enjoy its full functions. 
40. What is the text mainly about?
A. Some major media in China.
B. China¡¯s new media and its future.

The amount of carbon taken in by growing plants increased from 1982 through 1999 as
temperatures rose and the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increased. But a new study
in Friday ¡¯ s edition of the journal Science found a drought - related decline in such plant growth
from 2000 to 2009£¬even though temperatures continued to climb.
As drought caused by warming reduces the land ¡¯ s ability to take in carbon£¬the result could
be more carbon dioxide left in the atmosphere£¬and thus more warming£¬Zhao Maosheng from the
University of Montana explained in a telephone interview.
¡°This is a pretty serious warning that warmer temperatures are not going to endlessly improve
plant growth ¡¯¡± co - author Steven Running£¬also from the University of Montana ¡¯ said in a
statement. ¡° We see this as a bit of a surprise£¬and potentially significant on a policy level because
previous interpretations suggested global warming might actually help plant growth around the
world, ¡° he said.
Instead, he and Zhao found a small but measurable decline of about 1%£¬compared to a6%
increase in the past decade.
Their study£¬based on the data collected by NASA satellites£¬found that north areas continued
to increase plant growth£¬thanks to warmer temperatures and a longer growing season.
Someone commented, "This past decade¡¯ s net decline in earthly productivity suggests that a
complex relationship between temperature, rainfall, cloudiness, and carbon dioxide, probably in
combination with other factors such as nutrients(ÓªÑø£©and land management£¬will determine
future patterns and trends in productivity.£¬£¬
СÌâ1:From the first paragraph, we can learnin the recent decade or so.
A£®the emission(ÅÅ·Å)of carbon hasn¡¯ t been reduced
B£®draught has been causing loss of soil and water
C£®carbon dioxide levels have been rising
D£®the rise of temperature doesn' t promote the plant growth
СÌâ2:Zhao Maosheng really worried that .
E.     more and more land will be abandoned
F.    the climate becomes warmer and warmer
G.   the emission of carbon dioxide increases
H.   draught further reduces the number of the plants
СÌâ3:Steven Running made his statement to  .
I.      confirm Zhao' s views on the influence of temperature rise
J.     urge the government to take necessary measures
K.    warn the people to strengthen the plant protection
L.    support Zhao* s views on lhe plant production
СÌâ4:We can infer from the passage that  .
A£®global warming will determine the future productivity
B£®various factors play a key role jointly on future productivity
C£®earthly productivity actually increased in the past decade
D£®temperature rise has had no effect on future producticity patterns

One of the most widely accepted, commonly repeated assumptions (¼ÙÉè) in our culture is that if you exercise, you will lose weight. I exercise all the time, but I still have got fat that hangs over my belt when I sit. Why isn¡¯t all the exercise getting rid of it?
It¡¯s a question many of us could ask. More than 45 million Americans now belong to a health club, up from 23 million in 1993. We spend some $19 billion a year on gym memberships. Of course, some people join and never go. Still, as one major study ¡ª the Minnesota Heart Survey ¡ª found, more of us at least say we exercise regularly.
And yet obesity (·ÊÅÖ) figures have risen sharply in the same period: a third of Americans are obese, and another third count as overweight by the Federal Government¡¯s definition. Yes, it¡¯s entirely possible that those of us who regularly go to the gym would weigh even more if we exercised less. But like many other people, I get hungry after I exercise, so I often eat more on the days I work out than on the days I don¡¯t. Could exercise actually be keeping me from losing weight?
The popular belief that exercise is essential for weight control is actually fairly new. As recently as the 1960s, doctors routinely advised against too much exercise, particularly for older adults who could injure themselves. Today doctors encourage even their oldest patients to exercise, which is sound advice for many reasons: People who regularly exercise are at significantly lower risk for all manner of diseases ¡ª those of the heart in particular. They less often develop cancer and many other illnesses. But the past few years of obesity research show that the role of exercise in weight loss has been wildly over-evaluated.
¡°In general, for weight loss, exercise is pretty useless,¡± says Eric Ravussin, exercise researcher at Louisiana State University. Many recent studies have found that exercise isn¡¯t as important in helping people lose weight as you hear so regularly in gym advertisements or on shows like The Biggest Loser ¡ª or from magazines like this one.
