  A lawyer and a blonde(金发女郎) were sitting next to each other on a long flight from London to New York. The lawyer leant over to her and asked 1 she would like to play a fun game. The blonde just wanted to take a nap(打个盹), so she 2 refused and turned over to the window to catch a few winks.

  The lawyer 3 on to explain that the game was really easy and a lot of 4 . He explained “I ask you a question, and if you don't know the answer, you pay me $ 5, and visa-versa.” Again, she politely refused and tries to get some 5 .

  The lawyer, now somewhat agitated(烦躁的), said, “Okay, if you don't know the answer you pay me $ 5, and if I don't know the answer, I will pay you 50!”, thinking that, since she was a blonde, he would 6 win the match.

  This 7 the blonde's attention and, figuring that there would be no end to this torment(折磨) 8 she played, agreed to the game.

He took out his pocket 14 and searched all his references. He tapped into the Air phone with his modem and searched the Net and the Library of Congress. He 15 sent E-mails to all his coworkers and former 16 . All to no avail(无效). After over an hour, he 17 the blonde and handed her $ 50. The blonde politely 18 the $ 50 and turned away to get back to sleep. The lawyer, who was now a little more angry, woke the blonde and asked, “Well, so what IS the 19 !?” 20 a word, the blonde took out $ 5 from her purse, handed it to the lawyer, and went back to sleep again.

  With the reform of Chinese higher education, more and more colleges and universities put emphasis on nurturing students' abilities.  1   a consequence, elective courses are   2  (avail)not only for excellent academic performers but also for students of the average level.Certainly, students have different reasons   3  (choose)their own electives.For some, practical skills are the essence(本质)of college education, and therefore, courses on computer science, marketing, and finance   4  (prefer).On the other hand,   5   may hold the idea of liberal education and electives concerning literature, history, and philosophy are the most welcome.

  Take me as   6   example:being a disciple of free education, I stand for the idea   7   university is not a place for survival skills,   8   a palace of knowledge and critical reasoning.  9   my major is chemistry, the electives I attend most frequently are English literature, an Introduction to Classic Music, and Different Schools of Western Painting.  10   really widen my horizon.

  For the last couple of weeks, I had been stuck in front of my computer working on a project that was very important to me.My every waking hour was consumed by the project and although I imagined that I would feel happy after completing parts of the project, I was confused to find that instead, I was feeling rather depressed.I tried a range of methods to help cheer myself up.I had a relaxing bath, cooked a delicious meal to enjoy with my family and even watched a lighthearted movie, but to no availIt was only when I turned to meditation(沉思)for a solution that the answer came to me:turn to nature!

  The very next day, I grabbed my camera and a bottle of water and set off to spend a few hours walking in a nature reserve, even though it was pouring with rain.Within a couple of minutes I felt alive again.To be honest, I felt like a young school girl again and had to stop myself from hopping along the path singing, "I'm singing in the rain", a song I used to sing when I was a child.I think as adults we often try too hard to control our inner children and as a result we restrain(限制)our own spirits, which only leads to depression and stress.

  Interestingly, it has been shown that people who spend 40 minutes walking in a nature reserve have a drop in their blood pressure levels, but this does not happen when they spend a similar amount of time walking in a busy city centre.

  If you feel a little low in spirit and know that you have spent too much time indoors, relax completely, remove your shoes and let your inner child come out and play.

[  ]

A.

The author walked in a nature reserve in the rain in order to ________.

[  ]

A.

B.

find a solution to the project

C.

hop along the path

(3)

The underlined part "to no avail" in Paragraph 1 probably means "________".

[  ]

A.

B.

C.

D.

B.

depression is usually caused by hard work

C.

walking in a busy city centre harms people's health

  The group of tourists walking through Stockholm's old street never knew what hit them. As they admired Swedish art works in a storefront window, one of their mobile phones chirped(唧唧叫)with an anonymous(匿名)note:“Try the blue sweaters. They keep you warm in the winter.”

  The tourist had just been“bluejacked”--secretly sent a text message using short-range wireless technology called Bluetooth.

  The more people get Bluetooth-enabled mobile phones--both sender and receiver need them for this to work--the more there is likely to be mischievous(恶作剧的)messaging.

  Websites are already offering tips on bluejacking, and collections of astonished reactions quickly turn up on the Internet. One site, www. bluejackq. com, was set up by a British teenager.

  “I bluejacked three or four people, ”says 13-year-old Ellie in UK, who runs the site and makes bluejacking a daily affair. Bluetooth has a range of about nine metres. Ellie used it to send a note to a man in a cafe asking how his coffee was and saying that she liked his wife's glasses.

  Ellie says he looked here and there to try to figure out where the message came from, even sending text messages back and forth with his wife, but to_no_avail.

  Bluetooth is fast becoming more common on new mobile phones, though Forrester Research says at present only 9 percent of phones in Europe have such a function.

  The technology is handy for people wanting to use wireless headsets with their phones or for sending data by phone to Bluetooth-enabled printers.

  When Bluetooth is activated(激活), it seeks out other equipped mobile phones by itself and sets up a link. Bluetooth phones can be set to block anonymous messaging, but people who carry them don't necessarily know that.

(1)What is mainly discussed in the text? ________

[  ]

A.The meaning of the word“bluejack”.

B.The technology called Bluetooth.

C.Anonymous messages.

D.Tips on bluejacking.

(2)When a tourist was“bluejacked”, he or she might ________.

[  ]

A.receive an anonymous and often mischievous message

B.send others a text message using shortrange wireless technology called Bluetooth

C.be persuaded to buy a blue sweater

D.get a Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone

(3)We may learn from the text that ________.

[  ]

A.with Bluetooth-enabled mobile phones people can send anonymous notes to friends far away

B.13-year-old Ellie makes bluejacking to earn some money by advertising

C.not many people in Europe now carry Bluetooth mobile phones

D.It's not easy for activated Bluetooth to set up a link with other equipped mobile phones

(4)What does the underlined phrase“to no avail”( paragraph 6) probably mean? ________

[  ]

A.Without a reply.
B.Of no use.
C.No problem.
D.No signal.

(5)People often receive anonymous messages though they don't want to because ________.

[  ]

A.many of them probably don't know how to block such messages

B.it's not necessary for people to know how to block such messages

C.their phones are not able to block anonymous messaging

D.it's just impossible for people to reject any messages
