  Traveling in pairs, participants have 36 hours to journey as far as possible, without spending any money.Before setting off, they are given posters and T-shirts to raise as much money as possible.When they reach their destination, students are required to take a photo and buy a newspaper to prove that they were there.Prizes are awarded for most money raised and furthest distance traveled.

  How to play

  Everyone playing the game starts as “human” with the exception of one:the original zombie.

  If a player is touched by the zombie, he or she then becomes a zombie and is required to “tag”(感染)at least one human every 48 hours to stay in the game.

  If a human player manages to “stun”(打晕)a zombie with a toy gun or a pair of rolled up socks, they are safe for the time being.The “stunned” zombie is not allowed to tag a human for a predetermined length of time.The game can last days, weeks or even all semester.If less than a certain number of humans survive the attack, the zombies win.

  Talking on a mobile phone is expensive, so a lot of people send text messages. Text messages are much cheaper than talking on a mobile phone, and you can make it even cheaper by shortening the words that you use. You can do this by taking out “unimportant” letters in the words and using numbers instead of words(2=to, 3=free, 4=for, 8=ate, h8=hate, etc. ). Here is an example :Im 3 nw, why nt gv me a cll? (I’m free now, why not give me a call?)

Mobile phone users have developed a series of symbols to show how they feel. They are called emoticons(情感符号). To read an emoticon, you have to look at it sideways. For example, if you say something in a text message which is a joke, you can follow it with a smiling face. Like this: Why did t u cll me? Im so sad. ∶-)

  Here are some others. Can you think of these text messages where you could use them?

  ∶·)laughing∶ ·(sad∶·<really sad

  ∶·v shouting| · | sleep∶ o shocked

  8 · | surprised\· o bored

1. The underlined word “sideways” in this passage means______ .

A. 从侧面地    B. 从旁边地

C. 斜眼地   D. 颠倒地

2. What do you think of this text message “Whr hv U bn? Im wtng 4 U”means?

A. Where have you been? I’m waiting for you.

B. Where have you been? I’m looking for you.

C. What are you doing? I’m waiting for you.

D. What are you doing? I’m looking for you.

3. Which one means“laughing” in the text messages?

A. ∶·(          B. ∶· )

C. ∶· <     D. 8 ·

My basketball coach at Princeton used to say, "On the court, you can tell who is selfish(自私的)."

   When my sister Michelle brought Barack Obama home to meet the family, she said to me, "I want you to take him out to play, to see what type of man he is when he’s not around me." So I invited Barack to play basketball with a few friends of mine.

    I was very nervous although I had already met Barack a few times. I was thinking this guy seemed like a good guy. We played a hard five-on-five. He was thin but not weak. He played extremely left-handed. He dealt with everything perfectly. He wasn’t the best guy out there or the worst guy. I liked the fact that he was confident but wasn’t proud. Barack was very team-oriented (有团队精神的), very unselfish. He played as if he was one of us —he wasn’t trying to be president of Harvard Law Review. But the best part about it was that when we were on the same team, he did not pass me the ball each time. He wasn’t trying to suck up to my sister through me. I was glad to give my sister the good news, "Your boy is straight."

    He isn’t selfish, which is the greatest praise you can give both a player and a leader. America has got a guy who is running a government in an efficient (有效率的) manner. That’s the same guy I got to know playing basketball when he was visiting my family.

1. Why does the author begin the passage with his coach’s words?

 A. He wants to remember and thank his coach.

 B. He wants to show that he is a basketball player.

 C. He wants to tell his sister about the words.

 D. He wants to use the words to test a person.

2.Why did Michelle ask the author to take Barack to play basketball?

 A. To see whether he was confident.

 B. To see whether he was good at sports.

 C. To see whether he was selfish or not.

 D. To see whether he could get along with others.

3.During the basketball game, Barack ______.

 A. played best all the time        B. was strong enough to play

 C. was not confident             D. wanted to be the team leader

4. The underlined phrase in the third paragraph can be replaced by "______".

 A. please (使满意)   B. know about       C. help       D. look for
