_1_ One of the best things you can possibly do is to start you own club. It’s great fun especially if you are the sort of person who feels there’s never anything to do during the school holidays.
The first thing you need to come up with is an idea for your club. _2_ Pets, clothes, pop music or dancing groups, sports, making things? The list is endless.
Next you need some friends to be in your club with you. _3_ All you need is three or four other people who are interested in the same thing as you.
_4 You should all sit down somewhere together with lots of pieces of paper and write down every name you can think up. That’ll keep you busy for ages.
At your first meeting you should make up a rule book. And the first rule should be no grown-ups or little/big brothers or sisters! The best clubs are always secret!
Now you have just about everything you need, except membership cards. These are very important and again you can speed a lot of time making them. 5 Why not leave some space for a photo of yourself? That will make the membership card really look like it.
So there you are, get clubbing! Once you get started you’ll think of loads of more interesting things to do!
A. That’s easy.
B. Enjoy your own club!
C. Invite a designer to join you.
D. What are you interest in?
E. Some vacation is just around the corner.
F. Then you need to p ick a name for your club.
G. Use a bright thick pen to make a special design.

In 1980，Candy Lightner’s 13-year-old daughter Cad was killed by a drunk driver as she walked down a suburban street in California. “I promised myself on the day of my daughter’s death that I would fight to make this needless accident count for something positive in the years ahead,” Candy Lightener later wrote.
The drunk driver received a two-year prison sentence. However, he avoided prison by serving time in a work camp and a halfway house. Ms. Lightner was very angry about that and so organized Mothers Against Drunk Drivers (MADD), which later changed to Mothers Against Drunk Driving. The aim of her organization was to raise public awareness of the serious nature of drunk driving and to promote tough legislation against the crime.
Before Ms. Lightner’s MADD, intoxication (醉酒), including drunk driving, was not taken seriously. Intoxication was often used as an excuse for otherwise unacceptable behavior: “I didn’t know what I was doing—I was drunk.”
Candy Lightner appeared on major television shows, spoke before the US Congress, addressed professional and business, groups, and worked tirelessly for years to change public attitudes, change judicial(审判的) behaviour, and promote tough new legislation. Ms. Lightner left MADD because the organization that she herself created is changing its focus. “I didn’t start MADD to deal with alcohol. I started MADD to deal with the issue of drunk driving.”
The President of the United States awarded her the President’s Volunteer Action Award and she was the subject of the movie “Mothers Against Drunk Drivers: the Candy Lightner Story”.
1.One of the purposes of MADD was to______ .
A. make the public aware of the danger of drunk driving
B. fight against the drunk hit-and-run drivers on the road
C. make new laws against crimes caused by drinking
D. warn people not to drink alcohol while driving
2.which way didn’t Ms. Lightner use to achieve her MADD’s goals?
A. Talking on major TV shows.
B. Giving a talk to businessmen.
C. Applying for a job with the government.
D. Giving suggestions to the US Congress.
3.We can learn from the passage that______.
A. the drunk driver had not been caught
B. drunk driving didn’t receive enough attention before MADD
C. Candy Lightner played a leading role in a film
D. MADD didn’t get much support from society
4.What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Ways to prevent drunk driving
B. Purposes of founding MADD
C. New law against drunk driving
D. Candy Lightner and her MADD

Your glasses may someday replace your smartphone, and some New Yorkers are ready for the switch. Some in the city can't wait to try them on and use the maps and GPS that the futuristic eyewear is likely to include.
" I'd use it if I were hanging out with friends at 3 a. m. and going to the bar and wanted to see what was open," said Walter Choo, 40, of Fort Greene.
The smartphone-like glasses will likely come out this year and cost between $250 and $600, the Times said, possibly including a variation of augmented(增强的) reality, a technology already available on smartphones and tablets (平板电脑) that overlays information onto the screen about one's surroundings. So, for example, if you were walking down a street, indicators would pop up showing you the nearest coffee shop or directions could be plotted out and come into view right on the sidewalk in front of you.
" As far as a mainstream consumer product, this just isn't something anybody needs," said Sam Biddle, who writes for Gizmodo.com. " We're accustomed to having one thing in our pocket to do all these things," he added, "and the average consumer isn't gonna be able to afford another device (装置) that's hundreds and hundreds of dollars. "
9to5Google publisher Seth Weintraub, who has been reporting on the smartphone-like glasses since late last year, said he is confident that this type of wearable device will eventually be as common as smartphones.
"It's just like smartphones 10 years ago," Weintraub said. "A few people started getting emails on their phones, and people thought that was crazy. Same kind of thing. We see people bending their heads to look at their smartphones, and it's unnatural," he said. " There's gonna be improvements to that, and this a step there. "
1.One of the possible functions of the smartphone-like glasses is to ____.
A． program the opening hours of a bar
B． supply you with a picture of the future
C． provide information about your surroundings
D． update the maps and GPS in your smartphones
2.The underlined phrase "pop up" in the third paragraph probably means " ____".
A．develop rapidly B．get round quickly
C．appear immediately D．go over automatically
3.According to Sam Biddle, the smartphone-like glasses are ____.
A．necessary for teenagers
B．attractive to New Yorkers
C．available to people worldwide
D．expensive for average consumers
4.We can learn from the last two paragraphs that the smartphone-like glasses ____.
A．may have a potential market
B．are as common as smartphones
C．are popular among young adults
D．will be improved by a new technology

A simple piece of clothesline hangs between some environmentally friendly Americans and their neighbors．
On one side stand those who see clothes dryers （干衣机） as a waste of energy and a major polluter of the environment．As a result, they are turning to clotheslines as part of the “what-I-can-do environmentalism．”
On the other side are people who are against drying clothes outside, arguing that clotheslines are unpleasant to look at．They have persuaded Homeowners Associations （HOAs） access the U．S．to ban outdoor clotheslines, because clothesline drying also tends to lower home value in the neighborhood．
This has led to a Right-to-Dry Movement that is calling for laws to be passed to protect people’s right to use clotheslines．So far, only three states have laws to protect clothesline．Right-to-Dry supporters argue that there should be more．
Matt Reck, 37, is the kind of eco-conscious（有生态意识的）person who feeds his trees with bathwater and reuses water drops from his air conditioners to water plants．His family also uses a clothesline．But on July 9, 2007, the HOA in Wake Forest, North Carolina, told him that a dissatisfied neighbor had telephoned them about his clothesline．The Recks paid no attention to the warning and still dried their clothes on a line in the yard．“Many people say they are environmentally friendly but they don’t take matters into their own hands,” says Reck．The local HOA has decided not to take any action, unless more neighbors come to them．
North Carolina lawmakers are saying that banning clotheslines is not the right thing to do．But HOAs and housing businesses believe that clothesline drying reminds people of poor neighborhoods．They worry that if buyers think their future neighbors can’t even afford dryers, housing prices will fall．
Environmentalists say such worries are not necessary, and in view of global warming, that idea needs to change．As they say, “The clothesline is beautiful．Hanging clothes outside should be encouraged．We all have to do at least something to slow down the process of global warming．”
1.One of the reasons why supporters of clothes dryers are trying to ban clothesline drying is that ______．
A．clothes dryers are more efficient
B．clothesline drying reduces home value
C．clothes dryers are energy-saving
D．clothesline drying is not allowed in most U．S．states
2.Who are in favor of clothesline drying?
A．Housing businesses.
B．Environmentalists．
C．Homeowners Associations．
D．Reck’s dissatisfied neighbors．
3.What is mainly discussed in the text?
A．Clothesline drying: a way to save energy and money．
B．Clothesline drying: a lost art rediscovered．
C．Opposite opinions on clothesline drying．
D．Different varieties of clotheslines．

It is men’s nature to live together in families and tribes(部落), and cities and nations, and therefore men have learned to prize those qualities in each other which make social life the happiest and best.
Of these qualities one of the most important is sympathy－fellow-feeling. If a man had no fellow-feeling, we should call him “inhuman”; he would be no true man. We think so much of this quality that we call a kind man “human”－that is, man-like in his conduct, first to other men, and afterwards to all living things.
If you are cruel to animals, you are not likely to be kind or thoughtfull to men; and if you are thoughtful towards men, you are not likely to be cruel and thoughtful towards animals. This is why the wise man of old wrote, “The merciful man is merciful to his beast.”
What a pleasure it is also to be loved by our pets or domestic animals; and to feel that we are caring for them and are deserving of their love; or to watch the ways of wild creatures, and gradually to make friends with them!
Treating animals kindly does not mean that we must never inflict any pain on them. We ourselves are trained by pains as well as by pleasures; so too, punishment is sometimes needed to train our dogs and horses to obey us. We endure pains at the hands of the surgeon, to cure some wound or to heal some disease; so too, animals must submit to being doctored.
We send out our bravest men to face wounds, sickness and death, for the good of the nation; so too, we let our horses share the risk of battle. For similar reasons, we cannot hesitate to destroy dangerous creatures like wolves and show senseless ferocity(残忍). It is no excuse to say that these animals deserve to be treated cruelly on account of their own cruelty. They are not really cruel, for they tear and kill not from love of unkindness, but because they must do so in order to live.
1.One of the most important qualities of men is fellow-feeling because .
A．you are likely to be cruel and thoughtful without it
B．a man would be inhuman without it
C．men can’t bear any pain on themselves and animals
D．only sympathy makes a man man-like in his conduct
2.The author would probably agree with the following EXCEPT that .
A．we must never force any pain on animals
B．some people have to kill some animals in order to live
C．it is human for a doctor to cut off some part from the animals
D．wise men are not only good to men but also to animals
3.What do you think is the title of the passage?
A．Loving your pet. B．Fellow-feeling.
C．Making friends with animals. D．Kindness to animals.
4.Which of the following is inhuman according to the writer?
A．To treat animals cruelly because they are cruel.
B．To train animals.
C．To destroy some of the dangerous animals.
D．To make animals submit to being doctored.
5.The underlined word “inflict” here means .
A．make sb/sth suffer B．forbid
C．punish D．avoid
