    There was a king who gave his daughter a beautiful diamond necklace. The necklace was stolen and his people in the kingdom searched everywhere but could not find it. So the king asked to search for it and put a reward for＄50,000 for anyone who found it.

    One day, a clerk was walking home along a river when he saw something shinning in the river and when he looked, he saw the diamond necklace. He decided to try and catch it to get the ＄50,000 reward.

    He put his hand in the river and tried to catch the necklace, but somehow missed it and didn’t catch it. He took his hand out and looked again and the necklace was still there. He tried again.

    But strangely, he still missed the necklace! He came out and started walking away, feeling sad. Just then, an old man walking by saw him, and asked him what was the matter. The clerk didn’t want to share the secret with him, thinking he might take the necklace for himself, so he refused to tell him anything.

    The old man could see this man was troubled. He again asked the clerk to tell him the problem and promised that he would not tell anyone about it. The clerk told him about the necklace and how he tried and tried to catch it, but kept failing.

    The old man then told him that perhaps he should try looking upward, toward the branches of the tree, instead of in the river. The clerk looked up and true enough, the necklace was hanging on the branch of a tree. He had been trying to take a reflection of the real necklace all this time.

    The clerk tried to get the diamond necklace to ________________.

    A. make the king happy.                    B. keep it for himself.

    C. get the big reward.                      D. sell it at a high price.

       A. was searching in the water              B. was trying to find help

       C. felt rather tired                       D. was not feeling good

    Where did the clerk find the necklace at last?

       A. On the tree      B. On the bank      C. In the river      D. In the sand

    What might be the best title for the passage?

    A. A beautiful diamond necklace           B. A king’s promise

    MONEY – SAVING TIPS FOR DISNEY WORLD

    Every time you visit Disney World, there’s something new to see. What began in 1971 as the Magic Kingdom now includes the high – tech, movie-mad Disney and Animal Kingdom . Each time the park expands（扩大）, so do your chances to spend money. How can you save ? As a family guide to Disney World, I've been to the park more than 25 times with my kids , and I've developed a few money-saving tips for you.

    ●Buy the Five-Day All-in-One Hopper Pass. Even if you're visiting for fewer days , it's a deal （The pass costs $ 229 for visitors aged 10 and up , $ 183 for kids aged three to nine and is free for kids under age three）. Without the pass , you'll have to pay separately for Pleasure Island and the water parks . A single trip to Blizzard Beach , for example , would cost a family of four $100.

    　　●　Dine out at Lunchtime. The prices at some of the nicer restaurants , especially those in Epcot's World Showcase , are much lower at noontime than at any other time. It's wise to make reservations（预定）before you leave home . Call 407-W-DISNEY .

    　●　Become a Gold Card Member.  For $ 65 , you can get a Magic Kingdom Club Gold Card （call 1-800-56-DISNEY）. Cardholders get up to 20% off Disney hotel rooms , plus prices on character breakfast , theme park tickets and goods from Disney stores .

    　●　Don't Pay Extra to See a Character.  Character-theme dinner shows are expensive , costing a family of four about $ 140 , and even a character breakfast , where Mickey or Donald Duck joins you for cakes , can set you back $ 50. If your budget (预算) is tight, try to meet the characters inside the theme parks and at free in-park shows . You can watch the Diamond Horseshoe show , for example , in the Magic Kingdom for no additional cost , while the similarly themed Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue needs expensive tickets .

    　●　Wait Until the End of Your Trip to Buy Souvenirs.  By then , the kids will really know what they want , and you won't waste money on expensive things .

    If you are short of money, the writer suggests you should not        .

           A．buy things for the kids from Disney stores.

           B．buy souvenirs at the beginning of the trip

           C．make a trip to Blizzard Beach

           D．have your meals out at noontime

    Which of the following can be used in place of “set you back”

           A．offer you  B．save you   C．return you D．cost you

    You should pay more money if you         .

           A．have a five – day All – One Hopper Pass while you’re visiting for four days.

           B．do not make a reservation for hotel rooms in advance..

           C．are not a Magic Kingdom Club Gold Card holder.

           D．have lunch at a restaurant in Epcot’s World Showcase

    In the writer’s opinion, the better way of meeting the Disney cartoon character is        .

           A．to have a character breakfast

           B．to watch the Diamond Horseshoe show

           C．to pay separately for Pleasure Island and the water parks

           D．to attend the Hoop – Dee – Doo Musical Revue

    Well before the 15th century, an Anglo-Saxon custom required that a prospective bridegroom break some highly valued personal belonging. Half of the broken token was held by the father of the bride and the other half by the groom. A wealthy man was expected to split a piece of gold or silver.
    The earliest engagement rings were also used as wedding rings, serving to seal an act of sale which transformed ownership of a daughter from father to husband. Such rings were usually of solid gold to prove the groom’s worth.
    For Roman Catholics, the engagement ring became a required statement of Nuptial intent（结婚意向）, as decreed by Pope Nicholas I in 860 A.D. The engagement ring was to be of valued metal, preferably gold, which for the husband-to-be represented a financial sacrifice.
    Signifying enduring love, and chosen for its durability, the diamond was chosen for the engagement ring. The diamond’s fire is also associated with “love’s clear flame,” given by Medieval Italians because of their belief that the diamond was created from the flames of love.
    The Venetians were the first to discover that the diamond is one of the hardest, most enduring substances in nature, and fine cutting and polishing releases the brilliance. Rarity and cost limited their rapid proliferation（急增） throughout Europe but their intrinsic（内在的） appeal guaranteed them a future. By the 17th century, the diamond ring had become the most sought after statement of European engagement.　　
    1. Who kept the two halves of the engagement rings before marriage?
    A. The bride’s father and the bridegroom’s mother.
    B. The bride’s mother and the bridegroom.
    C. The bride and the bridegroom.
    D. The bridegroom and the bride’s father,
    2. What’s TRUE about the early Anglo-Saxon custom before the 15th century ?
    A. A will-be bridegroom should beat all his valuable belongings.
    B. Every will-be bride should split a piece of gold.
    C. The engagement rings were also used to prove the groom’s worth.
    D. A rich bride should break one of her most valuable personal belongs.
    3. Pope Nicholas made the engagement ring a required statement of nuptial intent ______.
    A. in the 15th century           B. over 1,000 years ago
    C .in the 1860s                D. by the 17th century
    4. What kind of engagement ring has been the most popular one in Europe ?
    A. Rings made of gold         B. Rings made of silver
    C. Rings made of diamond       D. Rings made of an unknown substance in nature.

    Dogs and millionaires have a lot in common. They are absolute opportunists (especially when it comes to rewards). They defend their territory(地盘). And in general, they don’t like cats. Perhaps that explains a new survey showing that millionaires are far more dog-friendly than the rest of Americans.

    According to a study by Spectrem Group, 58% of millionaire pet owners have a dog. Only 37% own a cat. Only 3% keep fish, 2% birds and 2% have a horse. Similarly, 39% of U. S. households own a dog, compared to 33% of households owning a cat, released by the Humane Society.

    Jennifer Cona, a trust and estates attorney(信托和资产律师) and partner with Genser Subow Genser & Cona in New York, does a lot of work on pet trusts. She said of all the pet trusts she’s worked on, 90% are for dogs and only 10% are for cats. 

    She said dogs provide one thing especially important for the wealthy: unconditional love.

    “You don’t get that from a cat,” she said, “Dogs are like children for some families, except that they don’t mess up in college or run off with money. Sometimes it’s easy to see why dogs are the favorite children.”

    Millionaires show their love for their dogs in part by their spending. One quarter of millionaire pet owners spend more than $1, 000 a year on their pets, the Spectrem study said, while more than half spend more than $500 a year.

    Many would say those numbers are understated, given all the diamond-dog collars, dog foods and booming dog spas in evidence these days, not to mention the medical bills.

    The survey showed 34% of pet owners spend money on decorating, while 6% spend on “sweaters, outfits and costumes.”

    More than half of millionaire pet owners spend money on teeth cleaning for their pets. More than 16%, meanwhile, said they would spend money on reconstructive surgeries and “anti-anxiety, anti-depression” medication for their pets.

    1.What is the passage mainly about?

    A．Millionaires like dogs more than other Americans.

    B．Keeping dogs as pets is quite popular among Americans.

    C．Pet dogs help relieve their owners’ anxiety and depression.

    D．Millionaires spend much money on teeth cleaning for their pets.

    2.From the survey by Spectrem Group, we can learn ___________.

    A．about one third of American households own a cat

    B．more than half of millionaire pet owners have a dog

    C．millionaire pet owners spend $1, 000 on their pets daily

    D．34% of pet owners spend money on dog clothing

    3.What’s the main reason why millionaires show great love for their dogs?

    A．They can afford the high expense to raise pet dogs.

    B．Pet dogs have never made a mess of things around.

    C．Millionaires feel more secure in company of dogs.

    D．Pet dogs show unconditional love for their owners.

    4.What does Jennifer Cona probably think of millionaires owning pet dogs ?

    A．Ridiculous.        B．Acceptable.        C．Negative.          D．Indifferent.

    For many years, Hawaii has been a magic name to people who like to travel. People on both sides of the Pacific Ocean, in Japan and in America, dream of seeing these beautiful islands in the middle of the ocean. Their dreams always include at least one scene of a sunset over the ocean. In the tropical(热带的) lands, the sun drops, like a ball of golden fire, into the sea, and it droops so quickly that you can almost see it move. The sun leaves behind a glow that lights the skies and shines in the quiet water.

    People often have a quiet, peaceful time ---perfect for a leisurely(悠闲的) walk along the water. This scene is not too different from the dramatic(令人神往的) beauty that greeted the first strangers to these islands centuries ago. They were Polynesian people who came from Tahiti in canoes not much bigger than small boats.

    They found the beautiful white sand beaches and the waving palm trees, but there were no giant hotels like the ones we see nowadays. The first people came to Hawaii nearly two thousand years ago, but skyscraper hotels were only built in the last 25 years. Now jet planes make it possible to fly to for a weekend from Tokyo. Wherever the people come from, they really want to see the original beauty of Hawaii. They want to see the lovely beaches and the mountain called Diamond Head which is almost hidden by the tall hotels.

    A．given by people who like to travel

    B．attracting a lot of travelers

    A．to swim in the quiet water

    3.Which of the following does not belong to "the original beauty of Hawaii"?

    A．White sand beaches.

    B．Waving palm trees.

    C．Tall hotels.

    D．The Diamond Head Mountain.

    4.The last paragraph suggests_______

    A．the scenery nowadays is not too different from the original beauty.

    B．it's not quite easy to see the original beauty, because some of the scenery is almost hidden by tall hotels.

    C．it is easy to see the original beauty, but only by taking jet airplanes.

    D．it is not easy to see the original beauty because things have completely changed in the last 25 years.

    A．Islands Scenery.

    B．Hawaii A Magic Name.

    C．Traveling In Hawaii.
