       Hello,

       This is Lucy coming from Peru and looking for a short term flat, from 15th April until 4th May 2010．If somebody can give some information, send me pictures, price and address．

       Email: lucitamaron@hotmail．com; cell phone: 13800013900

       Thanks a lot in advance!

1.If foreigner wants to learn some Chinese and make friends; he / she can call _________．

       A．15015704625      B．13800013900

       C．13145751201      D．15112015812

2.To share a department where the traffic is quite convenient, you may send text message to ________．

       A．Sophia             B．Lucy               C．Vivian              D．Sony

3.What do the four advisers have in common?

       A．All of them speak both Chinese and English．

       B．All of them are in their twenties．

       C．All of them are Guangzhou citizens．

       D．All of them are hotmail users．

4.The information above can be probably found_________．

       A．in a magazine                                    B．in a newspaper

       C．at a website                                         D．in a guidebook

       When something goes wrong，it can be very satisfying to say, “Well, it’s so-and-so’s fault．” or “I know I’m late，but it’s not my fault; the car broke down．” It is probably not your fault，but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation，you are a loser．You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation．However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation．This is the winner’s key to success．

       Winners are great at overcoming problems．For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly．Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need．For another example, if your colleague （同事） causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person．Ask to work with a different person, or don’t rely on this person．You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well．

       This is what being a winner is all about—creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens．Winners don’t have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else．They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents．So, stop focusing on “whose fault it is．” Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stones for success．

1.According to the passage, winners        ．

       A．deal with problems rather than blame others

       B．meet with fewer difficulties in their lives

       C．have responsible and able colleagues

       D．blame themselves rather than others

2.The underlined word remedy in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to        ．

       A．avoid                  B． accept               C．improve              D．consider

3.When your colleague brings about a problem, you should         ．

       A．find a better way to handle the problem

       B．blame him for his lack of responsibility

       C．tell him to find the cause of the problem

       D．ask a more able colleague for help

4.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

       A．A Winner’s Opportunity．                    B．A Winner’s Secret．

       C．A Winner’s Problem．                      D．A Winner’s Achievement．

       In many societies, there is often greater acceptance of light skin than dark skin．Light skin may be seen as a mark of beauty, intelligence and success．These beliefs can lead to social pressure even within the same racial or ethnic group, if some members are darker skinned than others．

       The result is that skin lightening has become a common activity across Africa, Asia and other areas of the world．More and more people with dark skin are using skin-lightening products, even if they may face health risks．

       They believe that having whiter skin will improve their lives．Many people think they will have a better chance of getting a job or marrying into a better family．Or they want to look like what their society generally considers beautiful．

       Some beauty care products and soaps contain chemicals that make skin lighter．This process is also called bleaching．But some of the chemicals are extremely dangerous．One of the chemicals has been linked to kidney （肾） damage and some kinds of cancer．It also causes low birth weight in babies when mothers use it during pregnancy．

       At first, bleaching products make the skin color lighter．But after long-term use they can cause problems．They can even make some skin darker．The chemicals in the products block and break down the natural process that gives color to skin．The skin loses its natural barrier to protect against sunlight．Then the skin can become thick and discolored．Usually the person will use more of the product in an effort to correct the problem, but this only makes it worse．

       Fatimata Ly treats skin conditions in the Senegalese capital，Dakar．Doctor Ly says skin bleaching has become a problem throughout Senegal．She says the chemicals are now more dangerous because they are stronger．Some cases have resulted in blackened fingernails, infections and permanent skin damage．

       And these are not the only risks．Experts say some people who change their skin color suffer emotional damage．They feel regret and sadness．They feel that instead of risking their health, they should have learned to love and accept their skin color as it was．

1.Which of the following words can replace the underlined word “bleaching”?

       A．whitening           B．changing       C．lighting          D．pleasing

2.Why has the skin lightening become a common activity all over the world?

       A．There are many products that can make the dark skin light．

       B．Many people with dark skin have no confidence．

       C．Relatively speaking, light skin has more advantages over dark skin．

       D．People with dark skin are forced by the pressure of their families．

3.According to the text the following are the risks using the bleaching products EXCEPT________．

       A．blackened fingernails                 B．permanent skin damage

       C．emotional damage                        D．a waste of time and money

4.From the text we can conclude the writer’s attitude toward using the bleaching products is probably ________．

       A．supportive                                     B．positive    

      C．doubtful                                         D．negative
