A ferry carrying more than 900 people sank in the southern Philippines on Sunday. Most of the passengers have been rescued, but some people are still missing and at least nine have died. The Philippine Coast Guard says it received a call for help from Superferry 9 early Sunday morning local time, when the ship started listing(倾斜) to its starboard side. The captain ordered passengers and crew to abandon ship about an hour later. The ship sank around 10 am local time, off Siocon Bay in Zamboanga del Norte province. The ship left General Santos City in the southern island of Mindanao Saturday morning heading for Iloilo City in the central Philippines. It was carrying 847 passengers and 117 crew members. The Philippine Coast Guard said passing ships and the Philippine Navy rescued more than 800 people. Philippines Navy spokesman Lieutenant-Colonel Edgard Arevalo said, "Most of them when rescued from the water were having difficulty breathing and most of them were weak. There was an immediate need for doctors and nurses to attend to their needs, as well as for drinking water." Coast guard officials said it is still not clear what caused the ferry to list and said an investigation will be done as soon as rescue operations are over.

Juanito Estrella has been a housekeeping manager on the US-based large passenger ship Carnival Spirit for 18 months and feels he has found the suitable position in his career(职业).He has always wanted to travel.“ I guess I am a really restless spirit. I Iike traveling, so when the chance came, I jumped at it,” he says. The chance came in the form of a newspaper advertisement for work on cruise ships（游船）.

Estrella is responsible(负责的)for the cleanliness of the ship, making sure that 160 crew work properly. “I enjoy it because there is no other work-you wake up each day in a different place and a different culture.

The 1,000 crew come from 94 countries, and Estrella has learnt Spanish and a little Croatian.

Estrella and his fellows work at least 10 hours a day, seven days a week. He warns the job is not for everybody. “You have to love being busy and be prepared to work every day-and to give up drinking too much alcohol. ”In his spare time, if the ship sails into a port, Estrella explores it, otherwise he works out in the crew’s gym, goes on the internet or calls home. 1.What do we know about Estrella?

第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项多余选项。 There is an English saying, “Laughter is the best medicine.”51 Now, however, doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body. They have found that laughter really can improve people’s health. Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their heart, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. 52 It increases blood pressure, the heart beating and breathing; it also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach, and even the feet. If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial. 53 In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programmes. The group that tolerated (忍受)the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny program. 54 In this way55 they help to improve their patients’ condition by encouraging them to laugh. They have found that even if their patients do not really fell like laughing, making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter.
A. The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemicals in the brain which diminish both stress and pain. B. Until recently, few people took the saying seriously. C. Laughter and physical exercise have similar effects on the human body. D. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. E. As a result of these discoveries, some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics. F. Laughter could produce a kind of chemical. G. Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effect of pain on the body.

Some for it. As little boys and girls have had a very good memory, they can learn a lot of English words by heart very easy. This will help their future English learning. While others don’t agree. They think children have to learning Chinese pinyin at school. If they study Chinese pinyin and English at same time, it will be very easy for them to mix it up. This will do a lot of harm to their Chinese learning and their future English learning. For short, we have not arrived at some agreement yet.
