The first time I saw Carlos I would never have believed he was going to change my life．I had my arms full of books and I was tearing into the classroom when 1 ran into something solid．It was Carlos. “My God, you’re tall,” he said. Of course, the class began to laugh．Angry, I walked to my seat without a word. I glanced back to see if Reed Harrington was laughing with the rest．That would be the last straw．But Reed was studying chemistry and did not seem to be aware of anything else．I didn’t know why I considered Reed my friend．Maybe just because he was a good two inches taller than I．Anyway, every time I blew out my birthday candles and made a wish, it was for a date with Reed Harrington. “Take that seat，” Mr．McCarthy told the cocky newcomer Carlos，pointing to the only empty one，in the back of the room. Carlos grinned, “But I need a couple of dictionaries.” Again the class laughed, but now they were laughing with Carlos，not at him．He had been here only 10 minutes and already he had them on his side. It was the school elections that made me think of Carlos again．Reed Harrington was voted president and Carlos vice-president．“How come ?” I kept asking myself, “How come this shrimp who’s only been in town for a little over a month gets to be so popular?” So that morning，I stopped Carlos and said，“It doesn’t seem to bother you — being short.” He looked up at me, “Of course I mind being short．But there isn’t anything I can do about it．When I realized I was going to have to spend my life in this undersized skin，I just decided to make the best of it and concentrate on being myself.” “You seem to get along great,” I admitted, “But what about me? Nobody wants to date a girl taller than he is.” “The trouble with you is you’re afraid to be yourself．You’re smart．And you could be pretty．In fact, you might be more than pretty.” I felt myself turning red… 1.The author was angry because ________. A．the class made fun of her B．Carlos was too rude to her C．she had to carry many books D．Reed Harrington didn’t date her 2.Which of the following about Carlos is NOT TRUE? A．He was popular. B．He was new in the school. C．He was shorter than the author. D．He was chosen president in the school elections. 3.We can infer from the passage that ________． A．Carlos and the author have become good friends B．the author will be more confident C．Carlos always encouraged the author D．the author was tall 4.What’s the best title of the passage? A．How to be popular B．A tall girl C．Be yourself D．Something about Carlos

Do dogs understand us? Be careful what you say around your dog．It might understand more than you think. A border collie named Rico recognizes the names of about 200 objects, say researchers in Germany．The dog also appears to be able to learn new words as easily as a 3-year-old child．Its word-learning skills are as good as those of a parrot or chimpanzee. In one experiment, the researchers took all 200 items that Rico is supposed to know and divided them into 20 groups of 10 objects．Then the owner told the dog to go and fetch one of the items and bring it back．In four tests, Rico got 37 out of 40 commands right．As the dog couldn't see anyone to get clues, the scientists believe Rico must understand the meanings of certain words. In another experiment, the scientists took one toy that Rico had never seen before and put it in a room with seven toys whose names the dog already knew．The owner then told Rico to fetch the object, using a word the dog had never heard before. The correct object was chosen in seven out of ten tests, suggesting that the dog had worked out the answer by process of elimination（排除法）．A month later, Rico remembered half of the new names, which is even more impressive． Rico is thought to be smarter than the average dog．For one thing, Rico is a border collie, a breed （品种）known for its mental abilities．In addition, the 9-year-old dog has been trained to fetch toys by their names since the age of nine months. It's hard to know if all dogs understand at least some of the words we say．Even if they do, they can't talk back．Still, it wouldn't hurt to sweet-talk your dog every now and then．You might just get a big, wet kiss in return! 1.From paragraph 2 we know that __ . A．animals are as clever as human beings B．chimpanzees have very good word-learning skills C．dogs are smarter than parrots and chimpanzees D．dogs have similar learning abilities as 3-year-old children 2.Both experiments show that . A．Rico is smart enough to get all commands right B．Rico can recognize different things including toys C．Rico has developed the ability of learning mathematics D．Rico won't forget the names of objects once recognizing them 3.Which of the following statements is true? A．Rico has a better memory partly because of its proper early training. B．The purpose of the experiments is to show the border collie's mental abilities. C．The border collie is world-famous for recognizing objects. D．Rico is born to understand its owner's commands. 4.What does the writer want to tell us? A．To train your dog． B．To talk to your dog. C．To be careful with your dog． D．To be friendly to your dog.

The Chinese word “Shanzhai” means a small mountain village, but now it becomes an accepted name for fakes （假货） after “Shanzhai Cellphones” produced by small workshops in southern China became popular in the mainland market over the past two years. Besides “Shanzhai” has electronic products, there are “Shanzhai” movies, “Shanzhai” stars and even a “Shanzhai” Spring Festival Gala, a copy of the 25-year-old traditional show presented by CCTV on Chinese Lunar New Year’s Eve． “Shanzhai” has become a culture of its own, symbolizing anything that imitates something famous．The phenomenon has caused a public debate over whether it is healthy or sick being a copycat. In southwestern China’s Chongqing Municipality, a “Shanzhai” version “Bird’s Nest” woven by farmers with bamboo attracts wide attention and the “Shanzhai” version “Water Cube” is popular with tourists too．Both are copies of the famous Olympics buildings in Beijing. Xie Xizhang, a literature critic, said that taking the “Shanzhai” Gala as an example, when the traditional CCTV program becomes less and less attractive to the audience, the “Shanzhai” version appears naturally to attract people．“In spite of its poor techniques and operation, ‘Shanzhai’culture meets the psychological demands of common people and could be a comfort to their minds,” Xie said. Tian Huiqun, a professor at Beijing Normal University, said that “Shanzhai” culture never copies classic things, only trendy products．In that sense, it’s like a computer virus, multiplying without meaning. Though controversial, “Shanzhai” culture is becoming a widely accepted phenomenon. To the mainstream culture, the rise of “Shanzhai” culture is a challenge as well as a motivation, said Xie．Tian said different kinds of cultures developing together is an ideal situation and it is for the public to choose. 1.The Chinese Word“Shanzhai”may have its origin in _________. A．fake cellphones B．electronic products C．Spring Festival Gala D．Olympics buildings 2.The underlined word “imitates” is closest in meaning to _______. A．steals B．copies C．advertises D．cheats 3.According to the passage, “Shanzhai” culture refers to ________. A．The action that a person imitates famous people B．anything that imitates something famous C．those similar names to famous brand D．products with poor techniques and quality 4.We can infer that the mainstream culture ________. A．will be held back by “Shanzhai” culture B．will sooner or later be replaced by “Shanzhai”culture C．may develop faster because of the challenging of “Shanzhai”culture D．thinks nothing of the challenge of “Shanzhai”culture

College libraries are designed primarily for research and study．To explain its use, let us choose a research topic and follow the step-by-step procedure of looking up the material for the paper． Suppose your assignment is to write a paper on a novel called “The Sun Also Rises” by American writer Hemingway．The first step is to go to the main catalog．Many small drawers on the large wooden cabinets are lined up in alphabetical（字母的） order．Each of the drawers contains hundreds of alphabetical ordered cards．These cards are printed references to all material available in the library．Title cards are cataloged （为…编目录 ） by the first word of the book title, leaving out the articles like “a”, “an” and “the”．And then you get the cards for the books you need．On the upper left corner of each card is the call number．This is the numerical code that shows where the book is located in the library．The library has open and closed stacks．If your book is on the open stacks, you can go to the open-stack room, and according to the call number find it out by yourself．There are only about 30,000 books on open stacks, while most of the 800,000 books in our library are kept in closed stacks, which are accessible only to teachers and graduate students. For undergraduates like you, borrowing books from the closed stacks have to be done with the help of our librarian．In that case, you must fill out a call slip（纸条） for the book, showing the call number, author and title．You can get call slips on tables near the catalog cabinets．You show your call slip together with your library card to a librarian at the information desk．He or she will help you find the book out in the closed stacks. 1.What is the main purpose of this text? A．To present readers a brief introduction to a college library． B．To guide readers how to find books needed in a college library. C．To tell readers how to fill out a call slip in a college library. D．To show readers where to find books in a college library. 2.What letter you should look for on the title card for the book “The Old Man and the Sea” by the Hemingway? A．The letter “t”.

A．Use cash．Instead of paying things with credit cards, use cash for non-bill spending such as eating out, gas and groceries．Spending cash makes the spending more real, and there’s an added advantage of knowing when you’re out of cash. B．Small weekly savings transfers．I got this idea from my friend, who automatically deducts(扣除) $20 a week from his check to savings．I decided that I could live with the deduction of $40/week without really feeling it — it’s a relatively small transfer that I barely notice, and I save about $2,000 a year! C．Stay at home．Going out makes you spend money unnecessarily．You eat at restaurants, go to the mall, and stop at the gas station for snacks．It’s hard to avoid spending when you’re on the road．Instead, stay at home and find free entertainment．It’s also a great way to bond with your family.
D．Don’t get catalogs(商品宣传册)．Their announcements of sales or cool new products make it very temting(引诱人的) to buy something you don’t need．Instead, stop getting the catalogs, and you’ll spend less. E．Keep a 30-day list．If you have an impulse(冲动) to buy something you don’t absolutely need, put it on a 30-day list．You can’t buy anything but necessities — everything else goes on the list．When the 30 days are up, you can buy it — but most likely, the strong urge to buy it will be gone, and you can evaluate it more calmly. F．Cook at home．I know it seems more difficult than eating out．But it doesn’t have to be hard．Make home-made pizza with a ready-made crust, some sauce, cheese and veggies．Put some spices on something and throw it in the oven while you cook some brown rice．Not only is this much cheaper than eating out, but it’s healthier. 阅读下面几位消费者的情况介绍，并为他们匹配合适的建议。 1.Mr．And Mrs．Brown are a newly-married couple who work in the same company．They don’t earn much in their work, but they have to spend a larger part of their income to pay for their rent and daily necessities．Furthermore, they seldom eat at home because neither of them cooks well．Therefore, they have to pay a lot more extra money for food. 2.Mrs．Wang enjoys shopping very much because she is free all day long．Whenever she is wandering in the shops or stores, she will have a strong impulse and find it difficult for her to get back home with her hands empty．But it is quite often that she will find what she has bought is almost useless when she gets home. 3.Tony is a university student in New York, who is far away from his parents．He pays everything with his credit card．He finds it very cool for him to purchase with his credit card．However, he often finds his money has already run out in the middle of the month. 4.Miss Betty is a high school girl whose parents give her some money every week．As her parents don’t earn much money, she wants to save some money secretly so that she can buy a digital camera. 5.Miss Catherine is a young girl who is easily to be persuaded into buying something useless．She will get encouraged to buy something when she sees an advertisement．Her parents have warned her many times against doing such stupid things, but it doesn’t work much.
