A．very  B．too    C．quite  D．that

In the company in which I work, each of us is afraid of at least one person. The lower your   1   is, the more people you are afraid of.   2   all the people are afraid of the twelve men at the top who helped   3   and build the company and now own and   4  it.

All these twelve men are   5   now and drained(耗尽) by time and success of energy and ambition. Many have   6   their whole lives here. They seem friendly, slow and   7   when I come upon them in the halls and always courteous(谦恭的) when they   8   with others in the public lifts. They   9   work hard. They hold meetings, make promotions (推销活动), and allow their   10   to be used on announcements that are prepared and issued(发布) by somebody else. Nobody is sure   11   really runs the company, but the company does run.

In the   12   course of a business day I am afraid of Jack Green because my department is part of his department and Jack Green is my   13  ; Green is afraid of me because most of the work in my department is done for the Sales Department, which is more   14   than his department.

Green distrusts me sometimes. He makes   15   clear to me every now and then that he wishes to see everything   16   out of my department before it’s shown to other departments. I know he doesn’t really mean this. He is   17   busy with his own work to pay that much attention to all of mine, and I’ll bypass (避开) him on most of our assignments (任务) rather than   18   his time and delay their   19   to people who have an immediate   20   for them.

More than two thirds of the nation want to see the launch of Chang’e I, China’s first lunar orbiter live on TV, according to a survey.

According to the survey by China Youth Daily and www. qq. com, almost the entire nation want to catch images of the event at some point, with 99 percent of the 10,358 respondents saying they expected to witness the satellite launch and 68.9 percent saying they were certain to watch the live broadcast of the launch.

Going home for Christmas is a tradition of the holiday season. No matter where you may be the rest of the years, being at “home” with your family and friends for Christmas is a “must”. The Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays are the busiest times of the year at airports, train stations and bus stations. It seems that all America is on the move and Americans are on their way to spend the holidays with their loved ones.

This means that the house will be full of cousins, aunts and uncles that might not see each other during the year. Everyone joins in to help in the preparation of the festival. Some family members get to choose a Christmas tree to buy and bring home. Others decorate the house on wrap presents. And of course, each household needs to make lots of food!

At Christmas Eve gatherings adults have eggnog, which is made of cream, milk, sugar beaten eggs and brandy. Plenty of eggnog or hot cocoa is on hand in colder climates for carolers, or people who go from house to house sing Christmas carols to their neighbors.

Long ago, each child hung a stocking, or sock, over the fireplace. Santa entered down the chimney and left candy and presents inside the socks for the children. Today the tradition is carried on, but the socks are now large red sock-shaped fabric bags still called stockings. Each child can’t wait to open his or her eyes to see what Santa has left in the stocking.

Giving gifts is a Christmas tradition. However, in recent years, more and more people have complained that Christmas is too commercialized(商业化) especially in large cities. Store owners begin advertising and decorating very early in hopes of selling more goods. Some people believe that the origin of Christmas has been lost.

       A．giving gifts is a Christmas tradition

BEIJING – Set off by the April 1 Sino – US plane collision and US official agreement of the biggest arms sale to Taiwan in a decade as well as remarks by US President Bush on defending Taiwan, there have been increasing hacker attacks on websites of the two countries in the past weeks.

An American group of hackers which calls itself Poizon Box had begun ruining Chinese web－sites after the April 1 spy plane incident, top Chinese Sina. com. said.

The Chinese soon attacked back.

On April 29, Chinese hackers invaded two US Government websites over the weekend, forcing the Department of Labor and the Department of Health and Human Services to shut down their sites for a short time.

The US Department of Labor went offline for a few hours after a page in its website was changed to display a picture of Wang Wei, the Chinese pilot who died in the collision.

The page was titled “China hack!” and read, in English, “The whole country is sorry for losing the best son of China-Wang Wei forever, we will miss you until the end of the day.”

On May 1, hackers exchanged bad remarks in which the official White House website was defaced(丑化) by a huge amount of e-mail garbage. On May 5, the White House website fell victim(受害者) to a denial(否定、拒绝) of service attack that blocked access(通道)to the site for more than two hours.

The Computer Network and Information Security Management Office told web operators an average of 100 sites a day had seen “some form of attack.”

       A．Sino-US Plane Collision

Climate change, pollution, overuse of water and development are killing some of the world’s most famous rivers including China’s Yangtze. India’s Ganges and Africa’s Nile. WWF said on Tuesday. At the global launch of its report “World’s Top 10 Rivers at Risk”, the group said many rivers could dry out, affecting hundreds of millions of people and killing unique aquatic (水生的) life.

“If these rivers die, millions will lose their livelihoods，biodiversity(生物多样性) will be destroyed on a massive scale, there will be less fresh water and agriculture, resulting in less food security,” said. Rayi Singh, secretary—general of WWF—India. The report launched ahead of “World Water Day today, also cited the Rio Grande in the United States, the Mekong in Asia, Europe’s Danube, La Plata in South America and Australia’s Murray—Darling as in need of greater protection.

Rivers are the world’s main source of fresh water and WWF says about half of the available supply is already being used up. Dams have destroyed habitats and cut rivers off from their flood plains. While climate change could affect the seasonal water flows that feed them, the report said. Fish populations, the top source of protein and overall life support for hundreds of thousands of communities worldwide, are also being threatened. The Yangtze basin is one of the most polluted rivers in the world because of decades of heavy industrialization, damming and huge influxes(流入)of sediment(积淀) from land conversion.

Climate change, including higher temperatures, also means serious consequences for fishery productivity, water supply and political security in Africa’s arid Nile basin. Tributaries(支流) flowing into the Ganges are drying up because of irrigation, WWF said.

1．What does the text mainly about?

      A．Saving fresh water in our life.               B．How to protect our rivers.

      C．An important discovery.                       D．World’s top 10 rivers are at risk.

2．We can infer from the text that ___     __.

    A．rivers’ dying out could affect food security

    B．there are four Asian rivers mentioned in the passage

    C．the Yangtze is polluted thanks to the lack of enough tributaries

    D．higher temperatures couldn’t affect fishery productivity

3．The top 10 rivers are fast dying as a result of the following EXCEPT __    ___.

    A．climate change    B．wasting water      C．pollution             D．dams

4．WWF is probably a name of ___    __.  

       A．an organization       B．a newspaper          C．a magazine     D．a report

With the National College Entrance Examination drawing closer, Senior 3 students will do almost anything to ensure success – even change what they eat. More than 70 percent of high – scoring students in last year’s exam admitted taking “brain food”, according to a survey conducted by the Shanghai Hercules Teens Research Center last August. However, only 30 percent of them said they would do this again.

Experts say that, as long as they eat properly, teens will have no problem getting enough nutrition from their daily food.

So what should you be eating? A good start is to eat foods that give you a variety of nutrients. For each meal, choose several kinds of food from each of these groups:

* Vegetables;

* Fruits;

* Bread, cereals, noodles and rice;

* Milk, yogurt and cheese;

* Meat, poultry, fish, fried beans and peas, eggs and nuts.

You can eat healthily without giving up your favorite foods, but you should limit the fat you eat to keep your cholesterol (胆固醇) low. Only animal fat provides cholesterol, which is known to cause heart problems. Most people like the taste of table sugar, so there are sweeteners “hidden” in many foods like soft drinks, cookies, and so on.

If you have high – energy needs, sweets can be a useful source of calories but they contain limited nutrients and can cause tooth decay (腐坏).

When eating out, look for boiled or baked rather than fried foods. And try eating milk – based high–calcium (钙) foods instead of creamy items to reduce the fat and calories you take in. The teenage body changes quickly, so your attitude towards nutrition now can make a big difference to your health in years to come.

1．Many Senior 3 students take “brain food”         .

       A．to deal with heavy workloads

       B．to perform better in college entrance exam

       C．to have enough food and water

       D．to improve their health

2．What is eating properly, according to experts?

       A．Keeping away from animal fat.

       B．Having a balanced diet.

       C．Eating foods that supply high energy.

       D．Choosing vegetables and fruits only.

3．Which of the following statements about sweeteners is wrong?

      A．They can be found in soft drinks and cookies.

       B．They contain limited nutrients.

       C．Eating too many of them may hurt your teeth.

       D．Sweetener is another way of saying table sugar.

4．What is important to your health, according to the last paragraph?

       A．Limiting the amount you eat of sweets.

       B．Not believing in “brain food” blindly.

       C．Having a correct understanding of nutrition.

       D．Paying attention to foods in your body.
