Dealing with a jealous(嫉妒的) friend isn’t easy. It can be very frustrating.( 使人沮丧的) Find out how to make the best of the situation, be fair to yourself and your friend, and , if possible, preserve (保护)the friendship. It can be done!

Try to find out why your friend is jealous. Is it because of something you said? Is it because of something you have little or no control over, such as your looks or your family? Is it because of something your friend should be supportive of, such as your grades or a special talent of yours?

Once you know where the jealousy comes from, try to understand your friend’s feelings. Imagine how you’d feel in the same situation.

Find out what your friend really wants to have. Does he wish he were smarter or had more supportive parents? Maybe you can be helpful. Let him know that you believe in him and ask what you can do to help him get what he wants.

Try not to boast, show off or do things that would make your friend feel frustrated. This will only fan the flames of the jealousy.

Show that you’re happy about your life, but be sure to show interest and excitement about things going on in your friend’s life too. Spend some time pointing out some of his unique strengths and good qualities.

Sometimes jealousy is mixed with a lot of anger. If your efforts to listen to your friend and encourage him aren’t working, give him some time to cool off. He may need to work out his feelings alone or with someone who’s not the object of his jealousy.

Call up some extra support for yourself, too. Another friend, a relative or a girlfriend/boyfriend may be able to help you sort out your feelings about being the object of your friend’s jealousy. A lot of people feel bad about making someone else jealous, so be sure to remind yourself that you’re a good person!

There are now about 376 million people who speak English as their first language, and also about 376 million people who have learnt it in addition to their mother tongue. It is said that one million people learning English now and about 80% of the information on the Internet is in English.

Is this a good thing or a bad thing? Should we celebrate the fact that more and more of us can communicate, using a common language, across countries and cultures? Or should we worry about the dangers of “monoculturalism”, a world in which we all speak the same language, eat the same food and listen to the same music?

Does it matter if an increasing number of people speaking the same language? Not necessarily. I have never agreed that if only we all understood each other better, there would be fewer wars. Ask the people of India, where many of them speak at least some English, and Pakistan, the same situation with India…

If we all speak English, will we then all start eating McDonald’s burgers? Surely not. If English becomes more dominant (占优势的), will it kill other languages? I doubt it. When I travel in Africa and Asia, I am always surprised by how many people can speak not only their own languages but often one or more other related languages, as well as English and perhaps French or German as well.

When we discussed this on Talking Point a couple of years ago, we received a wonderfully poetic有诗意的）e-mail from a listener in Ireland. “The English language is a beautiful language. Maybe it’s like a rose,” he said. “But who would ever want his garden just full of roses?”

Well, I love roses and I think they make a beautiful addition to any garden. But the way I see it, just by planting a few roses, you don’t necessarily need to pull out everything else. If more and more people want to plant English roses, that will be fine.

63. By saying “Ask the people of India…and Pakistan” (in paragraph 3), the author is trying to show that___.

A. speaking the same language doesn’t necessarily bring peace.

B. wars can destroy the relationship between two countries.

C. English doesn’t kill other languages

D. English is widely used in the world

64. What does “rose” in the last paragraph stand for?

A. The world.　　 B. A kind of flower.　　 C. A language.　 D. The earth.

65. The author would probably agree that___.

A. it’s very hard to plant many kinds of flowers in a garden.

B. it’s all right for people from other countries to learn English.

C. more and more people like to plant roses in their gardens.

D. English is easier to learn than other languages.

66. This passage is mainly about ___.

A. why English has become a global language.

B. how many people in the world speak English

C. how people in the world learn English as a foreign language.

D. whether we need to worry about English being a world language.

The surprising experiment I am about to describe proves that air is all around you and that it pressed down upon you. Air pressure is a powerful force. When you swim underwater, you can feel water pushing on your body. The air all around you does the same. However, your body is so used to it that you do not notice this. The pressure is caused by a layer of air called the atmosphere. This layer surrounds the earth, extending to about five kilometers above the earth’s surface.

The following experiment is an easy one that you can do it at home. But make sure that you are supervised because you will need to use matches. Now for the experiment!

What you need:

·A hard-boiled egg without the shell

·A bottle with a neck slightly smaller than the egg

·A piece of paper

·A match

Method:

Check that the egg will sit firmly on the neck of the bottle.

Tear the paper into stripes and put the stripes into the bottle.

Light the paper by dropping a burning match into the bottle.

Quickly sit the egg on the neck of the bottle.

Result:

Astonishingly, the egg will be sucked into the bottle. Your friends will be amazed when you show them the experiment. But be careful when you handle the matches.

Why it happened

As the paper burns, it needs oxygen and uses up the oxygen (air) in the bottle. The egg acts as a seal in the neck of the bottle, so no more air can get inside. This reduces the air pressure inside the bottle. The air pressure must equalize, so more air from outside must enter the bottle. The outside air pressed against the egg and then the egg is pushed into the bottle! This proves that air is all around and that it is pressing down on us.

59. Why is there the need to take care when you are doing the experiment?

A. The bottle could break.

B. You need to light the paper with a match.

C. The egg needs to be shelled.

D. The egg has to be perfectly placed on the neck of the bottle.

60. In the experiment, the burning inside the bottle can___.

A. equalize the air pressure inside the bottle.

B. make a seal in the neck of the bottle.

C. finish up the oxygen inside the bottle.

D. produce more oxygen inside the bottle.

61. How did the egg get into the bottle?

A. The oxygen inside the bottle sucked the egg in.

B. It became soft without the shell.

C. The neck of the bottle was wide enough.

D. The outside air pressure forced it into the bottle.

62. The experiment is carried to prove___.

A. water pushes on your body when you swim underwater.

B. the earth is surrounded by a layer of air called the atmosphere.

C. the pressure of air around us has a powerful force.

D. the air pressure is not equalized around us.

A new generation addiction（着迷，迷恋） is quickly spreading all over the world. Weboholism, a twentieth century disease, affects people from different ages. They surf the net, use e-mail and speak in chat rooms. They spend many hours on the computer, and it becomes a compulsive (强迫的，难以抑制的)habit. They cannot stop, and it affects their lives.

Ten years ago, no one thought that using computers could become compulsive behavior that could affect the social and physical life of computer users. This obsessional behavior has affected teenagers and collage students. They are likely to log on computers and spend long hours at different websites.

They become hooked on computer and gradually their social and school life is affected by this situation. They spend all free time surfing and don’t concentrate on homework, so this addiction influences their grades and success at school. Because they can find everything on websites, they hang out there. Moreover, this addiction to websites influences their social life.

They spend more time in front of computers than with their friends. The relation with their friends changes. The virtual (虚拟的）life becomes more important than their real life. They have a new language that they speak in chat rooms and it causes cultural changes in society.

Because of the change in their behavior, they begin to isolate themselves from society and live with their virtual friends. They share their emotions and feelings with friends who they have never met in their life. Although they feel confident of the computer, they are not confident with real live friends they have known all their life. It is a problem for the future. This addictive behavior is beginning to affect all the world.

55.The main idea of the passage is about ____.

A. the cause of weboholism.

B. the advantage of weboholism

C. the popularity of weboholism

D. the influence of weboholism

56. The underlined word “weboholism” in the second paragraph most probably means___.

A. attractive　　　　 B. addictive　　　　 C. professional　　 D. potential

57. We can infer from the passage that _____.

A. weboholism has the greatest effect on teenagers.

B. students can hardly balance real and virtual life.

C. people are addicted to games on the Internet.

D. virtual life is more vivid and attractive anyway.

58. Which of the following is NOT true of weboholism

A. It contributes to the development of the web.

B. The chat room language may change social culture.

C. The problem will be getting more and more serious later.

D. People addicted to the web often become inactive in real life.

When I was going home to India last year, I called up my mother to ask if she wanted anything from China.

When India had not opened up its markets to the world, I carried suitcase loads of dark glasses and jeans. Thankfully, we can get all these in India now.

Still, her answer surprised me “Green tea.”

As long as I can remember she didn’t even drink Indian tea.

I dutifully（尽职尽责地） bought a big packet of Longjing and headed home to hear the story. My mother and her brother, both regularly newspaper readers, believed that Chinese green tea was the wonder drug for all illnesses.

At the turn of the century, China was not really familiar to the average Indian. It was a strange country.

How things change! And how soon!

Now every town of any size seems to have a “China Market”. And everyone is talking about China.

The government of India had planned to send a team to China to see how things are done. A minister once said that India must open the doors for more foreign investment (投资) and such a step would “ work wonders as it did for China.”

But it’s a two-way-street. I just heard about a thousand Shenzhen office workers who have gone to Bangalore to train in software. Meanwhile, all the Indian IT majors are setting up a strong presence in China.

No wonder that trade, which was only in the millions just ten years ago, is expected to hit about US＄15 billion for last year and US＄20 billion by 2008, a goal set by both governments.

　No wonder, my colleague（同事）wrote some weeks ago about this being the Sino-Indian (中印) century as the two countries started on January 1 the Sino-Indian Friendship Year.

But what is still a wonder to me is my mother drinking Chinese tea.

51. Why did the mother ask for Chinese green tea?

A. She was tired of Indian tea.

B. She had a son working in China.

C. She believed it had a curing effect.

D. She was fond of Chinese products.

52. What does the author mean by “it’s a two-way-street” in Paragraph 10?

A. China and India have different traffic rules.

B. Tea trade works wonders in both India and China.

C. Chinese products are popular in both India and China.

D. The exchanges between India and China benefit both.

53. What do we know about the India IT industry?

A. It will move its head office to Shenzhen.

B. It is seeking further development in China.

C. It has attracted an investment of US $ 15 billion.

D. It caught up with the US IT industry in 2008.

54. In the text the author expresses ____.

A. his concern for his mother’s health.

B. his support for drinking Chinese green tea.

C. his surprise at China’s recent development.

D. his wonder at the growth of India’s IT industry.
