       Welcome to London's River Marathon and our online Entry section．You can fill in an Entry Form and the closing date for Race entries is 6th September．

Here you can learn something about our service such as towage（拖船）．

       A tow-down service from Ham, Richmond and Putney to the Start is being run from early Race day morning and timed to have your boat available for collection when you arrive at Registration．To take advantage of this service, boats must be launched by 18.00 hours on Friday and the cost is ?0．00 per boat．If required, Towage and Crane Assistance must be requested via the entry maintenance facility; we will be in touch with full details on receipt of a request．

There are also a number of ways to enjoy the Race without necessarily getting into a sweat. Camping/Roast BBQ/Party:

       As usual, we will be operating our very successful campsite at Thames Young Mariners in Riverside Drive, just a few minutes walk from the Race Finish．The 14th Richmond Sea Scouts will once again organize and host this very popular service．

       The Friday night BBQ party will include a delicious roast and the entertainment will be provided by our regular blues band．

       On Saturday evening the bar will be open．

ShuttleBus:

       The ShuttleBus service has become an integral part of Race Day．In the morning of this year's Race, it will take crews and spectator boat passengers from the Holiday Inn Hotel, Thames Ditton, the campsite and Finish area to the Start in time for registration and boarding．

       The service starts at 08．00 hours．Later, we will be running buses from the party area at the Finish （Ham Street car park） at 22．30 hours to the Start, calling at Waterloo and Liverpool Street stations．

Passenger Boat:

       With its good visibility, low freeboard, licensed bar and friendly cooperative crew．The Viscount makes the ideal viewing platform for The Great River Race．The boat will be leaving Masthouse Terrace Pier at 11．45 hours with boarding starting from 11．15 hours．Light lunches will be available on board．

1．The Great River Race takes place on _____．

       A．10th May            B．22nd May      C．6th September     D．25th September

2．What does the underlined word "launched" in the passage probably mean?

       A．sent up             B．set off               C．put into water     D．put into action

3．Which of the following is true about The Viscount?

       A．It offers no lunch．                        B．Its departure time is 11:15 hours．

       C．The bar on it is illegal．                     D．You can get a good view of the race on it．

"There's no other way to describe it, it's the moment of a lifetime," said Bigelow at the awards ceremony in Los Angeles on Sunday．She has become the first female ever to win a Best Director Oscar．

       Bigelow was up against the top-selling film of all time, Avatar．But Bigelow's smallbudget film, The Hurt Locker, swept the awards with six trophies （奖杯） , including Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, Best Sound Mixing and the big one: Best Picture．

       Many Hollywood insiders are calling this year’s awards the "Indie Oscars", with smaller films taking the other top awards．This was due in large part to outstanding individual performances: Jeff Bridges in Crazy Heart （Best Actor） and Sandra Bullock in The Blind Side （Best Actress）．But all eyes were on Bigelow, as her movie The Hurt Locker beat Avatar to the major awards．This was sweetened by the fact Avatar's director, James Cameron, is her ex-husband．

       Bigelow was only the fourth female ever to be nominated （提名） for Best Director．She followed in the footsteps of Lina Wurtmuller, for Seven Beauties （1976）; Jane Campion, The Piano （1993）;and Sophia Coppola, Lost in Translation （2003）．

       Bigelow played down the important occasion last week, telling CBS, "There's really no difference between what I do and what a male filmmaker might do．I mean we all try to make our days, we all try to give the best performances we can, we try to make our budget, we try to make the best movie we possibly can．So in that sense it's very similar．On the other hand, I think the journey for women, no matter what field it is—politics, business, film —it's a long journey．"

       Ironically Bigelow's filmography is filled with action movies that are low on female leads and high on guns and steel．Her films such as Point Break and The Hurt Locker focus on the fears of men．

       And is there an entertaining end to the story of Bigelow's victory? She won on International Women's Day．

       It is, after all, Hollywood．

1．Of all the awards mentioned in Paragraph 2, the most important one is      .

       A．Best Picture                                B．Best Sound Mixing

       C．Best Director                                  D．Best Original Screenplay

2．We may learn from the passage that _____．

       A．four people have been nominated for Best Director

       B．The Hurt Locker cost a large sum of money

       C．only big films such as Avatar can take top awards

       D．Sophia Coppola was a woman director

3．What Bigelow said in Paragraph 5 indicates that women _____．

       A．can't compete with men in any field

       B．have to make greater efforts in whatever field

       C．are weaker than men in the film industry

       D．don't have to make a long journey until their careers take off

4．What would be the best title for the passage?

       A．Oscar Awards Ceremony            B．First Female Oscar Best Director

       C．Hollywood Best Actress              D．The Hurt Locker Beat Avatar

①It’s “laughably absurd” on one blog and a “magical revolution” on another．Bloggers are talking about the same device—the Apple iPad, which hit store shelves last week．

       ②Tech-heads hate the iPad because it has many functions—you can e-mail, browse the Web, read books—but it has no specialty．There are other devices on the market that do all its functions faster, cheaper and more efficiently．Get a Blackberry to scan e-mails or any old laptop to access the Internet．

       ③This first version of the iPad lacks many basic features．Tech-heads dislike the device not because of what it offers, but because of what it doesn’t offer．It doesn’t have Flash, and it doesn’t have a camera．It can’t access many of the world’s mobile applications, and it has a very restricted apple store．Based on purely technological grounds, the iPad is said to lack more than it gives．

       ④But if you are not a crazy tech-head, and you love the iPod and iPhone, “this device is for you,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO．The iPad will take online activities truly mobile．It will allow you to read the news in bed, check a recipe in a busy kitchen or view a large-scale Google map．

       ⑤Perhaps most important to the masses, it is a traditional computer without trouble．There are wireless, but it’s totally mobile．You press a button and it comes on in seconds．To add a program, you just download it from the Internet．Since almost everyone uses a computer in the office or at school, the need for the traditional desktop model at home is disappearing．Slate Magazine’s Farhad Manjoo calls the iPad the perfect alternative to the home computer system．

       ⑥But no matter how you feel about the iPad, as a tech-head or an everyman, there’s no arguing with its appeal．Love it or hate it, the iPad sold over 600,000 units on its opening weekend, surpassing the iPhone’s record sales in 2007．

1．What can be the best title for the text?

       A．Loving and hating the iPad               B．An exciting invention

       C．A home computer substitute               D．The iPad—a wise choice

2．According to the text, which of the following is Not true of the iPad?

       A．It can access the Internet．                B．It is wireless but portable．

       C．It can play any online video．              D．It can help you scan e-mail．

3．Which of the following best shows the structure of the text?

4．Farhad Manjoo’s attitude towards the iPad might be that of ______．

       A．doubt                 B．unconcern          C．sympathy         D．support

5．Tech-heads dislike the iPad because of ______．

       A．its after-sale services                      B．its high price

       C．its function shortages                         D．its slow speed

It’s almost time to head back to school, and well, it’s never too early to start shopping for those school supplies．If you have some extra cash left over after shopping for backpacks and number two pencils, then treat your kid to some cool electronics you can borrow from them later.

   Acer Aspire One: Net books are great for many reasons．Parents will love them because they’re extremely affordable and light compared to the average laptop．They’re also ideal for students who don’t quite need a computer but want one to do research, check email, or just surf the Web．You can find a black or white version for the low price of $99.

Fuji Fine Pix Z20fd: This sub-$200 digital camera is the perfect thing for any high school student．Available in five eye-catching colors, the Fine Pix Z20fd is a 10-megapixel（兆像素） camera．Media kids will appreciate the camera’s blog and auction mode, as well as the “one touch” movie recording option that allows them to edit movies before sharing them online．This is certainly an affordable camera for photo-lovers of any age．

Mimobot: USB flash drives are all pretty much the same, but if you want to treat your teen to a hip flash drive, check out Momobot.com．Each drive is packed with cool wallpaper, digital magazines, and so on．You can find them in 1GB, 2GB, 4GB and 8GB capacities（容量） at the price of $35-$100.

Samsung S2: Regardless of what your teen may tell you, there are other music players out there packed with plenty of great features．Samsung’s S2 MP3 player is nice enough to wear around the neck and small enough to take to the gym．It is available in five colors （red, black, white, purple, and green）, comes in capacities of 1GB or 2GB, and is available for the low price of $40 or less.

1．Judging from the content, whom is this passage probably written for? 

  A．Teenagers.          B．Teachers.            C．Students.             D．Parents.

2．According to the second paragraph, which picture is a model of Acer Aspire One?

： Liu Feng    Blog                      My 18^th Birthday      2010- 4-14 9:29:2

       Today is my 18th birthday, which means that from now on, I am an adult, so it is very fresh to me. I can not forget the happiness and love that my family and friends have given me. To show their love and affection, they held a great ceremony for me at home, and also sent me many kinds of presents, which have left me with great memories.

However, the most unforgettable thing is : a small gift from my English teacher, Jesse.

This morning, after class, Jesse approached me and said “Happy Birthday and here is a card for you”. After thanking him, I carefully opened it:

Dear Liu Feng,

       I sincerely hope the 18^th birthday will bring you great happiness all through your life. I have been with you for almost one year, and I find you are a good boy. You are working hard and doing fine in your study, and also I’d like you to have a little change in yourself. Since last month, when you failed in the exam, you have become shy and passive; you seem to have closed your world from others and hesitate to be together with them, which I think is not good for you. To adapt yourself to your future college and social life, find yourself an active life！

Yours,

Jesse”

Reading this, I was moved to tears…
