Mail order is a term which describes the buying of goods or services by mail delivery（邮递）. The buyer places an order for the desired products with the salesman through some remote method such as through a telephone call or a website. Then, the products are delivered to the customer. The products are typically delivered directly to an address supplied by the customer, such as a home address, but sometimes the orders are delivered to a nearby retail location for the customer to pick up. Some businessmen also allow the goods to be shipped directly to a third customer, which is an effective way to send a gift to an out\|of\|town friend. A mail order catalogue（目录）is a publication including a list of ordinary goods from a company. Companies who publish and operate mail order catalogues are treated as cataloguers within the industry. Goods are produced by people all over the world, such as in Australia, the USA, Canada, China etc. And now many cataloguers, just as with most retailers（零售商）, are increasingly buying goods from China.

You can buy chewing gum in nearly every country of the world. ① But it wasn’t always like that.[ The American Indians were the first people to chew gum. This gum came from a special tree that grew on their land. In 1848, a sailor called John Curtis began selling it. He was the first person to sell chewing gum. The gum he sold cost just a few cents for two pieces. It became popular very quickly even though it was very hard to chew. ② Nowadays, other things are added to the gum to make it soft and sweet. By 1890, there were hundreds of different chewing gums. The most famous name in chewing gum, however, is probably William Wrigley. He spent a lot of money in advertising and even sent free pieces of gum to children on their birthdays. ③ He also said that chewing gum helped people work better and that it stopped people from feeling tired. Although today many millions of people chew gum, not everyone thinks it is a good thing to do. Many people think it is dirty. The Singapore government does not allow people to buy chewing gum. One reason for this is that when some people have chewed all the taste out of their piece of gum, they take it out of their mouths and put it on to the backs of seats or other places. 1.请将①处翻译成汉语。________________________ 2.请根据②处内容完成下面句子。（每空一词） People make chewing gum soft and sweet _________something to it. 3.把③处改为直接引语。（每空一词） He also said“, Chewing gum______ people work better and it ______people from feeling tired.”

We always celebrated Dad’s birthday on Thanksgiving Day, even after he entered a nursing home. When we knew it might be his last birthday, the whole family decided to get together for a huge birthday celebration at the nursing home. Dad was a good storyteller and we were always his listeners. During a quiet moment, I announced it was now Dad’s turn to listen to stories for a change. I wanted everyone to tell Dad what we loved about him. The room became quiet. Then one after another, people told stories from their hearts, while Dad listened with tears in eyes. Everyone seemed to have more than one story. Even the little grandchildren couldn’t wait to tell Dad why they loved him. For a man who had been kind to so many hundreds of people in his life, here was our chance to tell him how much we love him. A few months later, at Dad’s memorial service, we more fully realized what we had given to Dad that night. Those are the stories people normally tell at a funeral (葬礼) after a loved one is no longer alive to hear the words. They tell stories, full of tears. But we had given those memories to Dad in his life, and we had told them through laughter, together with hugs and joy. He had them to hold and enjoyed them from time to time in his mind during his last days and months. Words do matter, and they are enough. We just need to say them or to speak them publicly the ones we love. That’s the ways to give back love and that’s our chance to celebrate a person in his or her life. 1.The writer’s family decided to have a huge birthday celebration because______. A.

A recent research shows that physical activity(体育活动) may help students do better in their classes. The research comes because educators in some countries are reducing time for activities like P.E. class. Researchers go over the results of fourteen studies. Twelve were from the United States, one from Canada and one from South Africa. The studies appeared between 2009 and 2013. They included more than 55,000 children, aged six to eighteen. Thomas Singh, one of the researchers, says the studies showed a relationship between physical activity and scores on subjects such as math, English and reading. Ms. Singh offers some possible explanations (解释): “ There are, first, physiological (生理的) explanations, like more blood flow, and so more oxygen (氧气) to the brain. Being physically active means there are more hormones（ 荷尔蒙） produced like endorphins ( 脑内啡). And endorphins make your stress level lower and your mood improved, which means you will perform better in class. Also, students who take part in organized sports learn rules and how to follow them. This could improve their classroom behavior and help them know what they should do. All in all, the finding tells us that physically active kids are more likely to do better in school. Ms. Singh says schools should consider the finding before they cut physical education programs. 1.What led the researchers to do the studies? A. Schools’cutting physical activity. B. Their interest in physical activity. C. The tests including about 55,000 children. D. Kids’unsatisfying schooling performance. 2.How many countries took part in the studies? A. 14. B. 12 C. 2. D. 3. 3.Which of the following is NOT one of the advantages of physical activity according to the passage? A. Getting more blood flow. B.Better classroom behavior. C. Feeling relaxed and refreshed. D. Greater ability to organize activities.
