    The round-the-clock availability that cell phones have brought to people’s lives may be taking a toll on family life, a new study suggests. The study, which followed more than 1300 adults over 2 years, found that those who consistently used a mobile phone through out the study period were more likely to report negative “spillover” between work and home life—and, in turn, less satisfaction with their family life.
    Spillover(影响，后果) actually means that the line between work and home began to become unclear. Work life may invade home life—when a parent is taking job-related calls at home, for instance—or family issues may start to take up work time. For example, a child may call Mom at work, telling her “the microwave exploded”, explained Noelle Chesley, an assistant professor of society at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee and the author of the study. The problem with cell phones seems to be they are allowing for ever more spillover between work and home.
    This may be especially true for working women, the study found. Among men, consistent use of mobile phones seemed not to allow more work issues to creep(潜入) into family time. But for women,  the spillover tended to go in both directions—being “connected” means that work cuts into home time, and family issues come into work life.
    Cell phones seem to be opening more lines for stressful exchange among family members. But there may be ways to control the spillover, according to Chesley. Employers, she said, should look at their policies on contacting employees after working hours to make sure their expectations are “reasonable”. For their part, employees can decide that cell phones go off during family time,  Chesley said.
    小题1:Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase “taking a toll on” in Paragraph l?
    A．ExplainingB．ProtectingC．ExtendingD．Damaging
    小题2:The example “the microwave exploded” in Paragraph 2 is used to              .
    A．show the microwave is of poor quality
    B．indicate how dependent the child is
    C．indicate family issues affect work hours
    D．show work time creeps into family life
    小题3:What is the main idea of this passage?
    A．Cell phones offer 24-hour availability.
    B．Cell phones get life and work mixed.
    C．Women don’t use cell phones in an effective way.
    D．Men are better at dealing with family problems.
    小题4:What is the author’s attitude towards round-the-clock availability of the cell phone?
    A．CuriousB．PositiveC．SubjectiveD．Objective

    Have you thanked your grandma today? You might want to consider it. A recent study found that kids live longer when a grandmother takes part in their daily lives.
    Most animals die soon after their childbearing years are over. Women, however, often live for many years after they stop having kids.
    　To try to understand why, researchers from Finland looked at birth and death records of two communities from the 18th and 19th centuries, one in Finland and one in Canada. In these communities, 537 Finnish women and 3,290 Canadian women were grandmothers who had lived past the age of 50.
    For every decade they lived beyond 50, the researchers found that the women ended up with an average of two extra grandkids. It didn’t matter what the differences in health or living conditions were between the two communities or from family to family.
    Grandchildren were also more likely to live into adulthood if their grandmothers were alive when they were born. If their grandmothers were younger than 60 at the time, that was even better. The study also found that women had children 2 to 3 years earlier if their own mothers were still alive at that time than those whose mothers had died.
    The researchers suggested that grandmothers have provided important assistance in raising their grandchildren for at least the past 200,000 years. As a result, they helped extend everyone’s lifespan.
    So, don’t take your grandma for granted!
    小题1:How many women in the survey in the two communities were grandmothers who had lived past the age of 50?
    A．537.B．3,290.C．3,827.D．2,753.
    小题2:According to the passage, what influence did it have on a woman if her mother was still alive?
    A．She was also more likely to live into adulthood.
    B．She had children 2 to 3 years earlier.
    C．She ended up with an average of two extra grandkids.
    D．It had no influence on her.
    小题3:How did grandmothers help extend everyone’s lifespan?
    A．They provided them with better living conditions.
    B．They provided assistance in raising their grandchildren.
    C．They helped with housework.
    D．They made everyone happy.
    小题4:According to the passage, we don’t know that _______.
    A．kids live longer when grandmothers take part in their daily lives
    B．most animals die soon after their childbearing years are over
    C．women often live for many years after they stop having kids
    D．grandchildren are less likely to live into adulthood if their grandmothers are alive

    Some Chinese new-rich like eating shark fin soup because they think it shows their class. However, for the Chinese NBA idol Yao Ming, doing so is unacceptable as the practice has led to the overfishing of sharks.
    When Yao and his wife Ye Li got married in 2007, they publicly announced that they would not allow shark fin soup to be served at their wedding banquet.
    Actually, Yao had been saying no to shark fins since 2006, when he was appointed as the Goodwill Ambassador for wild life protection.
    Now, the 226-cm big guy is resorting to his personal influence to encourage more to say no to eating the soup and to raise awareness of animal protection. "Sharks are friends of human beings. They are not our food," Yao said.
    Other celebrity athletes like Olympic champions Li Ning and Kong Linghui are following on the heels of Yao, throwing themselves into serving the public as Goodwill Ambassadors for wild animal rescue. Recent reports about Yao's retirement have saddened tens of thousands of basketball fans both at home and abroad. Yet Yao's influence goes far beyond the basketball courts.
    Yao has engaged himself in charity and public welfare services for quite a while. When the devastating 8.0-magnitude earthquake hit Wenchuan in southwest China in 2008, Yao donated 2 million yuan . "When I was a little boy, my parents and teachers told me to help others and to be a good man," Yao recalled.  "But I could not donate then because I had not much pocket money. After I moved to Houston, I got involved in quite a number of community service activities and I felt a strong sense of achievement when I got people together," Yao said.
    Like Yao, newly crowned French Open champion Li Na has showed her willingness to donate. Li gave 480,000 yuan of her prize money from the open, plus 20,000 yuan from her own pocket, to a local nursing home in her hometown. Another Chinese sports icon, hurdler Liu Xiang, has also been actively involved in charity for years.
    小题1:The reason why some Chinese new-rich like eating shark fin soup is that they think _______ .
    A．it is very delicious B．it is very cheap and healthy
    C．it is very popular in society D．it can show their status
    小题2:Yao Ming is against eating shark fin soup because ________ .
    A．too many sharks are killed B．he dislikes eating sharp fin
    C．it is too expensive D．sharks are dangerous animals
    小题3: Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?
    A．Li Na donated 500,000 yuan to a local nursing home in her hometown.
    B．Yao Ming donated 2 million yuan after the earthquake of Wenchuan.
    C．Yao Ming has encouraged more people to stop eating shark fin soup and protect animals.
    D．Yao Ming was appointed as the Goodwill Ambassador for protecting wild life in 2007.
    小题4:What words can be used to describe Yao Ming according to the passage?
    A．Rich and generous.B．Influential and warmhearted.
    C．Energetic and optimistic.D．Popular and confident.
    小题5:From the passage , we can learn that________.
    A．most athletes don't like eating shark fin soup
    B．Yao Ming has been donating money to charity since he was a child
    C．Yao Ming has an influence on not only the basketball courts but also charity and public welfare services
    D．Yao Ming has taken part in many community service activities when he was in China

    I believe there is more that unites us than   39  us.

They were   46  in the service that day, and as they walked, I saw their hands   47  together in unison(一致地). I noticed for the first time how dark my mother was, and how white my father was.

    Some of us are men, some are women. Some are young, some old. Some of us are short and others   54 . Some right-handed, some left-handed. We have lots of differences; we are all  55 . But deep down inside us, down in our DNA, we are 99.9 percent the same. And I believe we need to remember that.

    Diao Weihao, a student who studies business English at the Chengdu campus of Sichuan International Studies University, was in his dormitory when the earthquake struck at 2:30 pm on Monday.
    The 22-year-old felt that his chair was shaking. All of a sudden, the textbooks on the bookshelf began to fall to the floor. The glass in the window broke.
    “It felt like our dormitory building was being hit by a tractor,” recalled Diao. “I wasn’t afraid.. I was even excited and curious. Now, looking back, it was a scary experience.”
    Diao and his roommates kept their calm. They didn’t try to get out of the building until the shaking stopped. They were on the fifth floor and they feared there might be trouble if they didn’t remain calm.
    “We’ve watched lots of disaster films, and that helped us keep cool,” he said. “Only one student sprained（扭伤） his ankle. He was escaping in a hurry. Most of us got outside quickly and safely.”
    They were surprised to see so many students outside.
    “I began to realize then what had happened,” he said. The college had warned them that in the event of an earthquake, they should leave the dormitory immediately. A few did rush in when it was safe to grab some clothes to keep warm.
    Without any tents or bedding, the students stayed on the football field for the whole night. Rain started falling in the morning, but the students all kept in good order. They simply chatted and shared their feelings and comforted each other.
    “Our students seemed to have self-control,” he said. “I heard that hospitals in Chengdu have lots of injured people who jumped out of buildings.”
    Now, Diao is mostly worried about the people in Wenchuan County.
    “It seems we won’t be able to have classes in one or two day’s time,” said Diao. “I want to become a volunteer at the damage-hit area, or donate my blood to the injured people in hospital. Also, I will write on my blog to keep people calm and encourage them to protect themselves during emergencies.”
    Since the university is close to Dujiangyan, Diao and his classmates are still forbidden to return to their dorms or classrooms. However, they can eat in the canteen and get information about other parts of Sichuan by reading the newspapers.
    小题1:Where was Diao Weihao when the earthquake happened?
    A．He was in the campus.B．He was in the football field.
    C．He was in his dormitoryD．He was in his classroom.
    小题2:What did Diao Weihao feel when he realized what was happening?

    A．During the quake
    B．The moment they realized what was happening
    C．After the quake

    a. They got out of buildings safely.
    b. Diao Weihao was in his dormitory.
    c. Diao Weihao wanted to be a volunteer.

    In the last few years, some researchers have decided to study why kids lie(撒谎)，So they made up a special team of 12 students, all under the age of 21.
    Each student was given 36 cards, and each card listed a topic that teens sometimes lie about to their parents, The researchers worked through the cards with the teens, learning what things the kid was lying to his parents about, and why.
    By the end of the interviews, the kids saw for the first time how much they were lying and how many of family’s rules they had broken. It was reported that 98% of the teens had lied to their parents.
    Out of the 36 topics, the average(平均) teen was lying to his parents about 12 of them. The teens lied about what movie they went to, and whom they went with .They lied about how they spent their afternoons while their parents were at work, and something like that.
    Most parents hear their child lie and think he’s too young to understand what lies are or that lying is wrong. They believe their child will stop when he gets older. Many books also advise parents to just let lies go — they’ll grow out of it. But the truth is that kids grow into it. In studies where children are observed(观察) in their natural environment, a 4-year-old child will lie once every two hours, while a 6-year-old child will lie about once every hour and a half.
    小题1:The researchers started the project by     .
    A．playing cardsB．free talkingC．doing a surveyD．discussion

    Parent fans, both dads and mums, are shaming British football with their bad behaviour. Hundreds of junior soccer matches had to be abandoned last season because parent fans were swearing or even fighting on the touchline. At schools and clubs across the UK, hundreds of more matches also had to be called off for the same reason.
    Reports tell of abuse at referees（裁判）, players and coaches and fight breaking out on the touchline.
    Enough is enough    Peter Wright, a keen referee of junior soccer, finally hung up his boots last season. He decided to walk away for good. He said “Every week I have had to take abuse and I’ve had enough of it.”
    “Parents’ behaviour is reducing many school teachers, referees, coaches and volunteers to despair.”
    The kids are suffering    Jim Peter, a referee, said, “We are getting desperate and the kids are suffering.” He described the way spectators（观众）behave as abysmal and getting worse year by year. The big question is why so many parents shame their children in this way. Aggressive Behavior Contracts may have to be introduced to stop the violence and abuse. If not, the game will suffer.
    Sign up to good conduct    Last season players and parents were made to sign a new good behavior contract. “If a parent breaks the contract, I take his or her child off the pitch and get him or her to explain why I have done so to the child,” said Marc Nash, Wallsend’s assistant leader.
    “The next step is to ban both the parent and the child, but happily, so far this has not been necessary.”
    小题1:A number of junior soccer matches were abandoned last season because       .
    A．players abused spectators in the matches
    B．parent fans swore and fought outside the pitch
    C．school teachers persuaded the government to call them off

    In Europe, many people make friends between their countries through town twinning. Town or city twinning means two towns in different countries agree and decide to become “twins” with a sister-city relationship.
    The people find pen friends in the twin town. They exchange newspapers and stamps. The school teachers discuss teaching methods with the teachers in the twin town. Officials visit the twin town for celebrations. Ordinary people travel to the twin town, too, but not very often if it is far away.
    Sometimes, schools even exchange their classes for two or three weeks! For example, German middle school students study for a while at the school in their twin town in Britain, staying with British families. A few months later, their British friends come to study in Germany.
    Many British towns are so pleased with the results of the twinning that they set out to find more than one twin town!
    Tonbridge, a small town in Kent, for example, has twin towns in both Germany and France. Richmond near London has relationships with Germany, France and even a town in a Balkan(巴尔干半岛的) country!
    Town twinning can help make friends. It helps students improve their language skill, and also helps people to understand the differences between nations.
    小题1:Which is the best title for the passage?
    A．Town Twinning
    B．Friendly Towns
    C．Exchanging Teachers and Students
    D．Peace and Understanding
    小题2:Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
