    Have you ever thought of taking a train and having an adventure(奇遇)？Riding the train can be a real adventure.That is how I feel every time I take Amtrak.I often take a four--hour trip to visit my children.Every time I take this trip I never know what will happen.
    Last week when I was on the train and over an hour into the train ride，there was a man sitting by himself in the back of the train carrying on a mobile phone conversation-in another language.It was  loud and disturbed most of the people on the train.I think it was annoying.
    Fortunately I sat next to a wonderful old lady who was taking a two--day trip by train.She said her two daughters were distraught at the thought of her driving for three days to reach her home，although she had no trouble driving.The train ride was the only choice for her.She loved to look out of the window and watch the world go by on the train.
    She was fun to talk to and asked me when my children started being parents.That is a very good question.Both of us are old and have children.She asked that same question from time to time.
    There are always many people on the train from all walks of life，different countries，and many  languages.Riding the train is a great way to increase your knowledge and take in all kinds of  cultures.If you get hungry，you can buy food in the food car at any time.If you need to use the restroom there is always one available.

    The slogan “a dog is for life, not just for Christmas” has been going strong for 27 years now. Dogs and cats have been popular Christmas gifts in the gifts in the UK and Europe for many years. But some people still haven’t quite got the message.
    The slogan still holds good. Some 105,000 dogs were rounded up by local government last year because they had been abandoned, many of them shortly after the festival season.
    The main reason given by owners for handing their dogs over to the Dogs Trust is that the dogs need more attention than they can give; behavioral problems and moving home are also reasons given.
    But Eleanor Silk, the Trust’s communications director, says, “It’s often four or five months after Christmas, in early summer, when owners find that the dog has got too big and too active, or it hasn’t been trained properly and has caused damage around the home.”
    In any case, some organizations that help pets are quick to point out that if you are serious about getting a puppy(小狗) as a pet, Christmas is not the time to do it. Puppies need to get used to their new surroundings, to be introduced to a routine, and to be looked after like small children. It’s hard to meet any of these needs at Christmas. What’s more, pulling a puppy out of a Christmas stocking in itself sends the wrong message to children. It encourages children to think of the puppy as a toy, rather than a responsibility.
    Appreciating what you’re taking on with a dog can be a sobering (清醒的) realization. “For life” means thinking about the effect they’ll have on your life. It also infers you will need to care for the dog for its whole life

    1. 1.

      What would be the best title for the passage?

      1. A.
        Dogs and Cats—the Most Popular Christmas Gifts
      2. B.
        A pet is for Life, Not just for Christmas
      3. C.
        How to Take Care of Your Pets over Christmas
      4. D.
        Let’s Help Those Abandoned Pets
    2. 2.

      According to the passage, which of the following is NOT a reason for pets to be abandoned?

      1. A.
        Pets spread some diseases

        Pets damage some things in the house
      3. C.

      4. D.
        The owners have to move to other places

    The clock rules our lives. The more we try to save time, the less time we seem to have. In every area of our lives we are doing things faster. And many of us live in towns and cities which are getting noisier and more stressful as each day passes. But now a worldwide movement, whose aim is to slow life down, has started. Its supporters are people who believe that a happier and healthier way of life is possible.
    The Slow Food movement was founded the day that an Italian journalist, Carlo Petrini, saw that McDonald’s had opened a restaurant in a beautiful square in Rome. He thought it was sad that many people today live too quickly to sit down for a proper meal and only eat much fast food. He decided that he had to try to do something about it and so he started the Slow Food movement. Slow Food has become a global organization ever since and now has more than 80,000 members in 100 countries.
    Slow Food also encourages people to eat local and regional food, to use local shops and markets, to eat out in small family restaurants, and to cook with traditional recipes.
    The idea of Slow Cities was inspired by the Slow Food movement. The aim of Slow Cities is to improve people’s quality of life. Towns which want to become a Slow City have to reduce traffic and noise, increase the number of green areas, plant trees, build pedestrian zones, and promote local businesses and traditions. Now it has spread to other countries all over the world, from the UK to Japan and Australia. There are now 135 Slow Cities in 24 countries across the world that have been named since founding of the organization in 1999. Gao Chun County, in east China’s Jiangsu Province, is expected to be named the first “Slow City” in China next year.
    “Slow Cities are about having a community life in the town,” said a local resident. “It is not ‘slow’ as in ‘stupid’. It is ‘slow’ as in the opposite of ‘worried’ and ‘stressful’.”
    But not everybody is happy. For teenagers, who have to go 25km to Norwich, the nearest city, to buy CDs, living in a Slow City is not very attractive. “It’s all right here,” says Lewis Cook, 16. “But if you want excitement, you have to go to Norwich. We need more things here for young people.”

    1. 1.

      What’s the aim of the Slow Food movement?

      1. A.
        To call on people to eat out
      2. B.
        To make people enjoy cooking
      3. C.
        To drive McDonald’s out of Rome
      4. D.
        To encourage people to slow down
    2. 2.

      All the following are necessary to be a Slow City EXCEPT ______

      1. A.
        reducing traffic and noise
      2. B.
        increasing the number of green areas
      3. C.
        building more department stores
      4. D.
        promoting local businesses and traditions
    3. 3.

      From the fourth paragraph, we know that ______

      1. A.
        the Slow Food was founded in 1999
      2. B.
        there is no Slow City in China now

        Slow Cities are mainly in the UK
      4. D.
        there are about 24 Slow Cities in the world

        Positive
      2. B.
        Neutral
      3. C.
        Negative
      4. D.
        Indifferent
    5. 5.

      What would be the best title for the passage?

      1. A.
        Slow down and you’ll move fast
      2. B.
        Time flies never to be recalled

    Festivals play an important role in a culture’s identity. I can’t think of a better way of appreciating a new culture than by taking part in one of its festivals. Here are some special festivals around the world.
    ★Boryeong Mud Festival--Boryeong, South Korea
    For two weeks in July, millions gather in Boryeong to experience the grey pools and slides. What began as a way of promoting the region’s mineral-rich mud has turned into a festive party , complete with music and fireworks. While the mud is usually only available in cosmetic products, here you can cake yourself in grey as you want.
    ★Holi--lndia
    Holi, the Festival of Colors, is a Hindu celebration full of joy and one of India’s most important holidays. During the day of the last full moon of the lunar month, usually late February or early March, the air is full of bright colored powder. The festival is celebrated differently throughout the country, but the cheerful spirit is common throughout Hindu communities around the world.
    ★Koninginnedag--The Netherlands
    Although their current Queen’s birthday is really during the winter, the Queen still celebrates it on April 30th,the country’s official “Queen’s Day” since 1949. Orange is the national color, and the streets become a sea of feather boas（长围巾）and body paint as crowds gather in the plazas（广场）. Amsterdam is the center of this outdoor party, with many live music acts, but nearly every town is alive with orange on this day.
    ★National Elephant Day in Thailand

    School uniforms（制服）are becoming more and more popular across the U.S.A. That’s no surprise，because they offer many benefits. They immediately end the powerful social sorting and labeling （标记）that come from clothing. If all students are dressed in the same way，they will not pay too much attention to their clothing，and some of them will not be laughed at for wearing the “wrong” clothes.
    Some people are against the strict rule of school uniforms，but they do not realize that students already accept a kind of rule — wanting to look just like their friends. The difference is that the clothing students choose for themselves creates social barriers（障碍）; school uniforms tear those barriers down.
    As in other places，uniforms remind the wearers of their purposes and duties. For example，when a man or woman puts on a police uniform，he or she becomes，for a time，the symbol（象征）of law and order. The uniform means to the wearer his or her special duties and sends the same message to everyone the wearer meets. People with different jobs wear uniforms of one kind or another. For students，the school uniform reminds them that their task for the six or seven hours they are in school is to get an education.
    Some parents are unhappy about uniforms，saying that school uniforms will affect their children’s “creativity”. First，as noted above，the clothes students choose to wear do not necessarily express their individuality （个性）. They just copy their classmates. Second，students have the rest of the day to be as creative as they like. While they’re in school，their job is to master reading，writing，and maths; this should take up all the creativity they have. Mastery of those skills will be good for the students to build up their creativity in every way

    1. 1.

      In Paragraph 1，the word “benefits” probably means

      1. A.
        tasks
      2. B.
        messages
      3. C.
        differences
      4. D.
        advantages
    2. 2.

      From the passage we learn that uniforms in general

      1. A.
        prevent the wearers from being laughed at
      2. B.
        help the wearers keep their duties in mind
      3. C.
        are seen as a symbol of power
      4. D.
        help to create social barriers
    3. 3.

      Some people are against school uniforms because

      1. A.
        they fail to realize that students have accepted the uniforms
      2. B.
        they believe that uniforms will make students less creative
      3. C.
        they don’t agree that uniforms can remove social barriers
      4. D.
        they think that school uniforms are too popular
    4. 4.

      The author would probably agree that

      1. A.
        it makes no difference whether to wear school uniforms or not
      2. B.
        students’ individuality may not come from school education
      3. C.
        students’ creativity is related to the clothes they choose
      4. D.
        school uniforms help to create equality among students
    5. 5.

      School uniforms are becoming more and more popular and important because _____

      1. A.
        they can stop the powerful social sorting and labeling
      2. B.
        if all students are dressed in the same way，they will not pay too much attention to their clothing
      3. C.
        uniforms can remind the wearers of their purposes and duties
      4. D.
        school uniforms will affect their children’s creativity

    If it really is what’s on the inside that counts, then a lot of thin people might be in trouble.
    Some doctors now think that the internal(内部的) fat surrounding important organs like the heart or liver could be as dangerous as the external fat which can be noticed more easily.
    “Being thin doesn’t surely mean you are not fat,” said Dr Jimmy Bell at Imperial College. Since 1994, Bell and his team have scanned nearly 800 people with MRI machines to create “fat maps” showing where people store fat.
    According to the result, people who keep their weight through diet rather than exercise are likely to have major deposits of internal fat, even if they are slim.
    Even people with normal Body Mass Index scores can have surprising levels of fat deposits inside. Of the women, as many as 45 percent of those with normal BMI scores (20 to 25) actually had too high levels of internal fat. Among men, the percentage was nearly 60 percent.
    According to Bell, people who are fat on the inside are actually on the edge of being fat. They eat too many fatty and sugary foods, but they are not eating enough to be fat. Scientists believe we naturally store fat around the belly first, but at some point, the body may start storing it elsewhere.
    Doctors are unsure about the exact dangers of internal fat, but some think it has something to do with heart disease and diabetes. They want to prove that internal fat damages the body’s communication systems.
    The good news is that internal fat can be easily burned off through exercise or even by improving your diet. “If you want to be healthy, there is no short cut. Exercise has to be an important part of your lifestyle,” Bell said

    1. 1.

      According to the pass age, which of the following is WRONG?

      1. A.
        People with heart disease all have internal fat
      2. B.
        People can get rid of internal fat by improving diet
      3. C.
        Men are more likely to have too much internal fat
      4. D.
        Exercise can help to reduce the internal fat
    2. 2.

      1. A.
        whether internal fat can lead to disease has been proved
      2. B.
        exercise plays an important role in people’s life for keeping healthy
      3. C.
        thin people usually have internal fat even if they are slim
      4. D.
        it is easier to burn off internal fat than external fat

    A young woman carrying a three-year-old child got on a bus. The conductor hurried to give her a warm welcome and then kindly asked the other passengers to make more room for the woman and her child. On seeing this, people began to talk. "You know this conductor used to be very rude. Now suddenly he has changed his bad behavior , "said a middle-aged man.

    Education is not an end but a means to an end．In other words, we do not educate children only for the purpose of educating them．Our purpose is to fit them for life．
    In some modern countries, it has for some time been fashionable to think that by free education for all one can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation．But we have already seen that free education for all is not enough; we find in some countries a far larger number of people with university degrees．They refuse to do what they think “low” work and, in fact, work with hands is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries．But we have only to think a moment to understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of professor．We can live without education, but we die if we have no food．If no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish away from our houses, we should get terrible diseases．
    In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life, it means that we must be educated in certain ways．Firstly each of us can do whatever work suited to our brains and ability．Secondly, we should realize that all jobs are necessary to society．It is very bad to be shamed of one’s work．Only such a type of education can be considered valuable to society．

    Singing had always been an important part of Gloria Estefan’s life. “Since I was three years old, I sang. I sang everything,” Gloria said. “Cubans,” she added, “are a musical people”.
    Gloria was born in Cuba in 1957. Her family left the country just before Fidel Castro came to power. In Miami, where the family settled, many people did not accept Cuban immigrants. In first grade, she spoke little English, but she worked hard to learn the language. Six months after she entered school, she won an award for reading in English!
    When Gloria was ten, her father returned from the Vietnam War. Soon, the family realized he wasn’t well. They soon found out that he was badly ill. Her mother went back to teaching at school to support the family. Gloria cared for her father and her younger sister.
    She still made the honor roll, and she still had her music, but Gloria was lonely. However, when the band leader Emilio Estefan came to speak at her high school, Gloria sang for him. He asked her to join his band. It was the beginning of the Miami Sound Machine.
    Within a few months, the Miami Sound Machine was the top band in Miami. In 1978 Gloria and Emilio married.
    At first, the Miami Sound Machine was known only in Miami. Then the band signed with CBS Records. Estefan and his band became stars.
    Since then, the Miami Sound Machine has sold millions of records. Gloria has done more than just singing when Hurricane Andrew hit central Florida in 1992. She used only two weeks to organize an all-star concert that raised $2 million for the people who suffered in the hurricane. “We needed a party after that disaster,” she said.
    Gloria said, “You have to stay true to the music you really love to do. There will always be people who will tell you, ‘that won’t work.’ You’ve got to be firm in spite of difficulties. Stick to it—that’s the main thing.”
