When I was struggling with cancer a few years ago, my wife and I formed our own "couple caution circle". Anytime a doctor came with news of my progress, my wife would give me a big hug. The reports were seldom good during the early stages of my illness, and one day a doctor brought particularly frightening news. Staring at my reports, he said in a low voice, “It doesn't look like you're going to make it.” Before I could ask him a question, my wife stood up, handed me my clothes, adjusted the tubes fastened to my body and said, “Let’s get out of here. This man is a risk to your health.” As she helped me struggle to the door, the doctor came near us. “Stay back,” demanded my wife. “Stay away from us.” As we walked together down the hall, the doctor attempted to catch up with us “Keep going,” said my wife, pushing the intravenous（静脉注射的）stand. “We’re going to talk to someone who really knows what is going on. Then she held up her hand to the doctor. “Don't come any closer to us.” The two of us moved as one. We escaped to the safety and hope of a doctor who did not confuse diagnosis with conclusion. I could never have made that walk toward wellness alone. 1.. From the passage we know__________. A. hearing that her husband was not going to make it, the wife went out of her mind B. the wife's decision in crisis contributed to the husband’s wellness C. the husband was diagnosed with cancer by mistake D. the husband became weaker and weaker as a result of the treatment conducted by the doctor 2..

BEIJING (Associated Press 美联社) —China has a growing middle class, a tradition of expecting education and 21 million new babies every year. Selling educational toys should be easy. While China may be the world’s biggest toy-maker, many of the best are exported. Department stores here do not have enough high quality toys. It is said that the demand for educational toys is low. A US company, BabyCare, is trying to change that with a new way to sell toys in China. BabyCare works basically together with doctors in Beijing hospitals. People who join the company’s "mother club" can get lectures and newsletters on baby and child development at no extra cost, if they agree to spend 18 dollars a month on the company’s educational toys and child-care books. "We want to build a seven-year relationship with those people," said Matthew J. Estes, BabyCare’s president. "It starts during pregnancy, when the anxiety and needs are highest." BabyCare works on a one-to-one basis. Doctors, nurses, and teachers paid by BabyCare advise parents, explain toys that a re de signed for children at each stage of development to age six. BabyCare opened its first store in China last June in a shopping center in central Beijing and another near Beijing Zoo. It plans to have 80 stores in China within six years. It is a new model for China and develops a market in young children’s education and health that no other companies are in. 1.. What do the first two paragraphs mainly tell us? A. Educational toys and foreign toy markets. B. Problems with China’s toy market and education. C. Reason s for pushing sales of educational toys in China. D. Baby population and various kinds of toys made in China. 2.. Which of the following is a fact according to the passage? A. Club members buy BabyCare products for free child-care advice. B. Doctors in Beijing help in making BabyCare products. C. Parents are encouraged to pay $ 18 for club act ivities. D. BabyCare trains Chinese doctors at no extra cost. 3.. BabyCare is developing its business in China by________. A. opening stores in Beijing hospitals B. offering 18-month courses on child-care C. setting up children’s education centers D. forming close relationships with parents 4.. Which of the following would be the most suitable title for the passage? A. Mother Club in China B. BabyCare and Doctors C. American Company Model D. BabyCare’s Educational Toys in China

★The regular use of text messages and e-mails can lower the IQ more than twice as much as smoking marijuana(大麻). Psychologists say that sending/receiving messages or looking through the many menu options your mobile phone has, lowers a person’s IQ by almost 10 points. British researchers have named this situation “infomania”. Instead of fixed on what they are doing, people’s minds are constantly focused on reacting to the technology surrounding them. This means they don’t pay full attention to the work they are paid to do. The report also added that the brain can not do so many things at once. If you try to do too many things, mistakes begin to occur. And while modern technology can have huge benefits, too much use can be damaging not only to a person’s mind, but to their social life. ★The more televisions 4-year-old children watch, the more likely they are to become bullies later on in school, a newest U.S. study said. At the same time, children whose parents read to them, take them on outings and just generally pay attention to them are less likely to become bullies, said the report from the University of Washington. Researchers also found gaps in learning and understanding such things as social skills early in life makes it more difficult for children to relate with other children. Watching violence on television leads to aggressive behavior. ★You could soon be able to add your favorite perfume to your e-mails. UK net provider Telewest Broadband is testing a system to let people send e-mails over the Internet with sweet smell. It has developed a kind of hi-tech air freshener that plugs into a PC and sprays a smell linked to the message. Telewest says it could be used by supermarkets to attract people with the smell of fresh bread or by holiday companies seeking to stir up images of sun-kissed beachers. 1.. What does “infomania” refer to according to the first part of the text? A. A situation in which a person uses his mobile phone too much. B. A situation in which a person has his IQ lowered using his mobile phone. C. A situation in which a person performs badly at work.. D. A situation in which a person lowers his IQ using his mobile phone improperly. 2.. According to the second part of the text, _____ are less likely to become bullies. A. children whose parents care about them B. children whose parents give them more freedom C. children whose parents direct them over watching TV D. children whose parents stop them watching TV 3.. The children who watch TV frequently will not ______. A. be aggressive B. be likely to become bullies C. have difficulty in communicating with other children D. understand socially skills as easily 4.. The new system provided by Telewest Broadband can _____. A. be used as a kind of air freshener B. make people have imagination of sun kissed beachers C. make people smell fresh bread D. make e-mails smelly over the Internet

Hidden in our subconsciousness (意识) is a perfect mental picture. We see ourselves on a long trip that goes across the continent. We are traveling by train. Out of the windows, we think in the passing scene of cars on nearby highways, of children waving at a crossing, of cattle feeding on a distant hillside, of smoke pouring from a power plant, or row upon row of corn and wheat, of flat lands and valleys, of mountains and rolling hills, of city skylines and village halls. But uppermost in our minds is the final destination. On a certain day at a certain hour, we will pull into the station. Bands will be playing and flags waving. Once we get there, so many wonderful dreams will come true and the pieces of our lives will fit together like a completed jigsaw (拚图玩具) puzzle. How restlessly we pace the aisles(通道) ,condemning the minutes for loitering-waiting, waiting, waiting for the station. ‘‘When we reach the station, that will be it!” we cry, “When I'm 38.” “When I buy a new 450SL Mercdes Benz!” “When I put the last kid through co llege.” “When I have paid off!” “When I get a promotion.” “When I reach the age of retirement, I shall live happily ever after! " Sooner or later, we must realize there is no station, no one place to arrive at once and for all. The true joy of life is the trip. The station is only a dream. It constantly outdistances us. “Relish (appreciate) the moment" is a good motto, actually it isn't the burdens of today that drive man mad. It is the regret over yesterday and the fear of tomorrow. Regret and fear are twin thieves who rob us of today. So stop pacing the aisles and counting the miles. Instead, climb more mountains, eat more ice cream swim more rivers, watch more sunsets, laugh more and cry less. Life must be lived as we go along. Then the station will come soon enough. 1.. Why does the author describe the mental picture? A. To lead us into a perfect world. B. To let people enjoy the scenery. C. To introduce an actual trip of his. D. To compare it to our life's journey. 2.. How do people feel when they’re on their trip? A. Puzzled. B. Happy. C. Relaxed. D. Impatient. 3.. What does the author mean by "Regret and fear are twin thieves who rob us of today" in Paragraph 4? A. Regret and fear are responsible for the loss of today. B. We must be careful of the two thieves: regret and fear. C. Regret and fear stop us from enjoying our present life. D. We’re frequently challenged by the two : regret and fear. 4.. Why does the author write the passage? A. To teach us a good lesson. B. To tell us the right attitude to life. C. To advise us to forget our worries. D. To stop us wandering along the aisles.

I am sure that everybody in his/her life has used computers. Nowadays you can feel their presence everywhere at home，at school，at work and they certainly make life easier．On the other hand，there are people who can’t work with them． Anyway，I believe their presence is a good thing. Life with them seems easier, less difficult and more comfortable You can use them to choose your meal，to withdraw your money, and also save your time，because these operations are all controlled by computers. Therefore you can hardly imagine the modern world without them；the whole planet seems to be one big computer society． Nevertheless，problems can often appear in this area, too．To have a computer means you have to be quite well－off and have the necessary skills to use it．However，think about questions like “Are computers so available for everyone, or rich and poor people，for people from villages and people from cities. Aren’t they too expensive？Is everyone able to learn how to use them and not everyone has the chance to access and work with them，how could everything in the future be dependent on them？”Therefore，I think our society will be split into two parts．One part will work with them and enjoy the benefits that computers can bring and the other part will be pushed out and will actually be far behind the other group． Another question that bothers me is，on the one hand，computers are important and good things in our life，but they aren’t everything．They are good as a help at school，quite often as entertainment，especially for young people，as an necessary tool to help in research etc，but I think we shouldn’t be so dependent on them，because computers are only machines and machines can’t feel anything be human and sympathetic，and every action performed by computer can be interfered with another person，which could cause these machines to crash or work badly． In conclusion，I would like to say I am not against computers．I use computers，too，but people should be wary all the time． 1.By saying “wary”（In the last paragraph）,the writer is trying to say “People should_______. A. be strongly for the use of computers because of its convenience B. be careful with computers that will also cause problems C. master more necessary computer skills D. not do something that causes computers to work badly 2.Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage？ 3. In the third paragraph，the author presents his idea by________ A. asking questions for people to think about B. giving examples to support his argument C. raising questions and answering them D. expressing his opinion directly 4. The writer’s main purpose in writing the passage is__________ A. to encourage us to use computers in our society B. to advise us to say no to computers from now on C. to remind us to care about the problems that computers bring. D. to inform us that the computer has become a necessary part of our life
