When I come across a good article in reading newspapers,I often want to cut and keep it.But just as I am about to do so,I find the article on the   1side is much interesting.It may be a discussion of the way to   2in good health,or advice about how to behave and   3yourself in society.If I cut the front articles,the opposite one is likely to suffer   4,leaving one half of it or keeping the text    5the title.Therefore,the scissors would stay before they start,    6the cutting would be halfway done when I find out the   7result.

Sometimes two things are to be done at the same time,both worth your   8.You can only take up one of them;the other has to wait or be   9up.But you know the future is unpredictable—the changed situation may not   10you to do what is left behind.Thus you are   11in a difficult position and feel sad.How come nice    12and clever ideas should gather around all at once? It may happen that your life   13greatly on your preference of your one choice to the other.

In fact that is what   14is like;we are often   15with the two opposite sides of a thing which are both  16like a newspaper cutting.It often occurs that our attention is   17to the thing only after we get into another.The former may be more important than the latter and this   18a divided mind.I still remember a philosopher’s   19:“When one door shuts,another opens in life.”So a casual(不经意的)    20may reward one.

A year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms, though my teacher emphasized the importance again and again. But soon, the importance of English idioms was shown in an amusing experience.

One day, I happened to meet an Englishman on the road, and soon we began to talk. As I was talking about how I was studying English, the foreigner seemed to be astonished gently shaking his head, shrugging his shoulders, saying, “You don’t say!”“You don’t say!” I was puzzled. I thought, perhaps this is not an appropriate topic. “Well, I’d better change the topic. ”So I said to him, “well, shall we talk about the Great Wall?” By the way, have you ever been there? “Certainly, everyone back home will laugh at me if I leave China without seeing it. It was magnificent(壮丽的).” He was deep in thought when I began to talk like a tourist guide, “The Great Wall is one of the wonders in the world. We are proud of it.” Soon I was interrupted again by his order “You don’t say!” I couldn’t help asking .I said, “Didn’t you say you don’t say?” Hearing this, the Englishman laughed to tears. He began to explain, “You don’t say actually means really? It is an expression of surprise. Perhaps you don’t pay attention to English idioms.” Only then did I make a fool of myself. Since then I have been more careful with idiomatic expression.

 Finally, this week’s comedy “Tomorrow’s Another Day” at the Cambridge MGM cinema, is another one in the long line of successes from director Peter Hamin.

What do you want to be when you grow up? A teacher? A doctor? How about an ice-cream taster?

Yes, there really is a job where you can get paid to taste ice cream. Just ask John Harrison, an “Official Taste Tester” for the past 21 years. Testing helps manufacturers(制造商) to be sure of a product’s quality. During his career Harrison has been responsible for approving large quantities of the sweet ice cream— as well as for developing over 75 flavors .

Some people think that it would be easy to do this job; after all, you just have to like ice cream, right? No— there’s more to the job than that, says Harrison, who has a degree in chemistry. He points out that a dairy or food science degree would be very useful to someone wanting a career in this “cool” field.

In a typical morning on the job, Harrison tastes and assesses 60 ice-cream samples. He lets the ice cream warm up about 12℉. Harrison explains, “You get more flavor from warmer ice cream, which is why some kids like to stir it, creating ice-cream soup.”

While the ice cream warms up, Harrison looks over the samples and grades each one on its appearance. “Tasting begins with the eyes,” he explains. He checks to see if the ice cream is attractive and asks himself, “Does the product have the color expected from that flavor?” Next it’s time to taste!

Continuing to think up new ideas, try out new flavors and test samples from so many kinds of ice cream each day keeps Harrison busy but happy— working at one cool job.

1.According to John Harrison, to be qualified in the “cool field”, it is helpful to __________.

   A. keep a diary of work

   B. have a degree in related subjects

   C. have new ideas every day

   D. find out new flavors each day

2.What does Harrison do first when tasting ice cream?

   A. He stirs the ice cream.                          B. He examines the color of the ice cream.

   C. He tastes the flavor of the ice cream.           D. He lets the ice cream warm up.

3.Which of the following is probably the best title of the passage?

   A. Tasting with Eyes     B. Flavors of Ice Cream

   C. John Harrison’s Life D. One Cool Job

There are several reasons for hair loss in women. However, in most cases, treatment is quite effective. Female hair loss patterns in women are not as easily recognizable as they are in men. A woman may experience it temporarily(暂时地) due to pregnancy or illness, although they may experience it for other reasons.

   Hair loss can be due to a variety of factors, including a genetic tendency ( which is not genetically linked to just one parent—both parents contribute to the tendency to lose hair).

   Women who are experiencing hair problems seem to have more limited choices than men. There are some female hair loss treatments that are available such as the Tricomin System which is a topical treatment that is nutrition based. Shen Min for Women is another natural treatment that contains herbs (草药) that are said to stimulate(刺激) hair growth and even restore hair that is graying to its natural color.

   The majority of the popular, proven hair loss treatments are only intended for men and are not suitable for women. True, a woman’s hair issue is different from a man’s. The biological makeup is different and the needs are different. Women have different needs and their bodies react in different ways to environmental changes, physical illness and even the treatments that are available. There are many natural treatments such as vitamin and mineral supplements that are said to stimulate hair growth, but, for the most part, these claims are currently unproven.

   One of the first and most important factors to effectively treating is to get a diagnosis from a doctor. Talk to your doctor about any symptoms that you may be experiencing in addition to the thinning hair. Stress, weight loss or gain, illness and depression, all of these can be contributing factors.

1.It can be learned from the 1st paragraph that ___________.

A. usually hair loss is hard to heal

B. female hair loss is more common than the men’s

C. women tend to suffer from hair loss during the pregnant period

D. only illness contribute to hair loss

2.Which of the following statements matches the text about the two treatments?

A. Both are to solve the problem of male hair loss.

B. Tricomin System is effective in speeding the growth of the new hair

C. Shen Min is an updated way of treating hair loss

D. The former is nutrition-based, while the latter is medicine-based.

3.The reasons for the differences between the female and male hair loss problems do not include ______________.

A. The biological structure and composition of the hair

B. The wants and needs

C. The reactions and responses to the outside changes

D. The approach to taking exercise

4.The natural treatments __________.

A. include vitamin and mineral supplements

B. are applied to keep the hair healthy

C. have been proved useful

D. are the most commonly-used ways
