         Du Fu, the famous Tang Dynasty poet, is getting the business these days. In response to the 1,300th
    anniversary of the poet's birth, the meme, "Du Fu is busy," is spreading through the Internet and turning
    the iconic poet into a figure of fun.
         A meme is a cultural phenomenon. It's an idea or image that somehow strikes a chord with Internet
    users and prompts them to comment on it, change it, or use it in different situations. In Du's case, the
    meme is a picture of the poet taken from a textbook. The picture shows a very serious Du sitting on a
    rock, clothed in loose robes. His chin is pointed resolutely upward and his eyes gaze calmly into the
    distance. It is a picture of a man with a great mind and a heroic spirit.
         That image is changed in the meme. Du Fu is now seen holding a gun or listening to an iPod or
    dressed as a Japanese cartoon character. In today's world, it seems fewer people respect great minds
    or heroic spirits.
         This is sad because it means we are losing our sense of idealism. Du Fu led a life of poverty and
    humiliation. I visited his thatched cottage in Chengdu and imagined the hardship he endured: the loneliness, the cold, and the hunger. Yet, hardship didn't kill his spirit, and his great poetry reflects his inner strength.
         Internet users may find that giving Du Fu the business is entertaining, but it cannot diminish his
    greatness. And that enduring image of greatness is the one that truly matters.
    1. which expression can be used to replace the underlined part in Para. 1?
    A. getting along very well with his business    
    B. getting busier and busier
    C. becoming a successful businessman        
    D. being made to look foolish
    2. Which of the following pictures is mentioned in the passage?
    A.                  B.               C.               D.
    3. What's the author's attitude towards the meme, "Du Fu is busy"?
    A. Positive.    
    B. Critical.    
    C. Doubtful.    
    D. Neutral.
    4. What's the main idea of the passage?
    A. Meme is more and more popular.    
    B. Du Fu is no longer a famous poet.
    C. Du Fu is getting the business.      
    D. Du Fu has become a new hero.

          Kong Zi,also called Confucius (551～479 B.C) ,and Socrates (469～399B.C) lived only a hundred
    years apart, and during their lifetimes there was no contact between China and Greece,but it is interesting
    to look at how the world that each of these great philosophers came from shaped their ideas,and how
    these ideas in turn,shaped their societies.
         Neither philosophers lived in times of peace,though there were more wars in Greece than in China. 
     The Chinese states were very large and feudal,while the Greek city-states were small and urban. The
    urban environment in which Socrates lived allowed him to be more radical than Confucius. Unlike
    Confucius,Socrates was not asked by rules how to govern effectively. Thus,Socrates was able to be
    more idealistic,focusing on issues like freedom,and knowledge for its own sake.  Confucius,on the other
    hand,advised those in govemment service,and many of his students went out to government service.
          Confucius suggested the Golden Rule as a principle for the conduct of life:" Do not do to others what
    you would not want others to do to you. " He assumed that all men were equal at birth,though some had
    more potential than others, and that it was knowledge that set men apart. Socrates focused on the
    individual,and thought that the greatest purpose of man was to seek wisdom. He believed that the
    superior class should rule the inferior (下层的) classes.
          For Socrates,the family was of no importance,and the community of little concern.  For Confucius,
    however,the family was the centre of the society,with family retations considered much more important
    than political relations.
          Both men are respected much more today than they were in their lifetimes.
    1. Which of the following is TRUE according to the first paragraph?    
    A. Socrates and Confucius had much in common.
    B.  Confucius had much influence on Socrates' ideas.
    C. The societies were influenced by the philosophers' ideas.
    D. There were cultural exchanges between China and Greece.
    2. Socrates shared with Confucius the idea that ______    
    A.  all men were equal when they were born
    B. the lower classes should be ruled by the upper class
    C. the purpose of man was to seek freedom and wisdom
    D. people should not ask others to do what they did not want to
    3. What made some people different from others according to Confucius? 
    A. Family.      
    B. Potential.        
    C. Knowledge.        
    D. Community.
    4. This passage is organized in the pattern of  _____.
    A. time and events                            
    B. comparison and contrast
    C. cause and effect

    grew his $9,800 to $14,000. __4__ And then he gradually drew in other investors through word of mouth 
    and very attractive terms.    
          __5__ He doesn't collect houses or cars or works of art, and he disdains (鄙视) companies that 
    waste money, on expensive cars, private dining rooms, and high-priced villas. He is a creature of 
    habitsame house, same office, same city, same soda water.

         In the dictionary, the word" applause" means to clap your hands to praise or welcome. Clappingis not
    usually used to protect against something. But when David Beckham made this mistake, he was punished with a red card.
        
         The England football captain was shown a yellow card by referee Arturo Dauden Ibanez during a
    match between Real Madridand Valencia in Madrid, Spain on Oct. 23.    
         Beckham then half-turned his back on Ibanez and applauded. His protest made the referee very angry. In return he gave Beckhama red card. The Spanish Football Association withdrew the red card last week due to Real Madrid's protest. But Beckham still has to pay a 60 euro fine for his mistake.

    the European Footballer of 2005. He first made everyone take notice when he scored a wondergoal , 60

    teenagers to follow his way of dressing.      
         "I have come to accept that if I have a new haircut, it is front page news. But having a picture of my
    foot on the front page of a national newspaper is a bit exceptional. " he once said.      
         He appears in advertisements as often as on the field. Beckhamis now the richest footballer in the world with an average annual income of 8 million pounds, mainly from advertisements for beauty treatments,
    mobile phones and motor oil.      
         In November 2003, Beckham was honored with the best award ever received-an OBE ( Officer of the Order of the British Empire) from the British Queen.

         Born in 1949, Diana Nyad took an early interest in swimming as a sport and was a Florida State
    High School swimming champion. Like many young athletes, she had Olympic dreams, but a serious
    illness kept her from competing in the Games. The disappointment didn't stop her from going forward.
    Instead, she became interested in marathon swimming. A brilliant athlete, she was well-conditioned for
    spending long periods of time in the water. As a long-distance swimmer, she would compete against
    herself and the obstacles presented by distance, danger, cold, and exhaustion.
         For ten years Nyad devoted herself to becoming one of the world's best long-distance swimmers.
    In 1970, she swam a ten-mile marathon in Lake Ontario, setting the women's record for the course.
    In 1972 she set another record by swimming 102.5 miles from an island in the Bahamas to the coast
    of Florida. Then she broke a third record when swimming around Manhattan Island in 1975.
         Nyad attempted to swim the distance between Florida and Cuba in 1978. Though the span of water
    is less than 100 miles wide, it is rough and dangerous. After battling the water for two days, she had to
    give for the sake of her own health and safety. Even so, she impressed the world with her courage and
    strong desire to succeed. For Nyad her strength of purpose was just as important as reading Cuba.
    That is how she defined success. It did not matter that her swim came up short; she believed she had
    touched the other shore.
         When Nyad ended her career as a swimmer, she continued to try new things---travelling the world
    as a reporter, writing books and giving public speeches about her life. Diana Nyad works to inspire
    others, just as she did when she swam the waters of the world.
