He 22 the saleswoman and with a slight 23 , possibly German, asked where the women’s shoes were sold. “Fourth floor.” She responded in a voice I could hear 10 miles away. “Pardon? Where did you say they were?” he asked again, apparently 24 . Clearly the old man was somewhat 25 “Fourth floor, sir,” the friendly saleswoman replied patiently, this time so 26 that customers turned to see what was causing the 27 . I continued watching as the man thanked the saleswoman and 28 for what I assumed was the fourth floor. But rather than walk to the 29 or the lift, he dashed behind a shelf, took out a notebook and started writing hurriedly, with an almost mad 30 on his face. Then he went straight up to another saleswoman and asked where the women’s shoes were sold. Again he asked her to 31 the answer and once more he walked away and took down some notes. He did this three more times before a department store 32 , thinking him mad, removed him from the store. But rather than be 33 , the old man departed with a huge smile on his face. Although the incident was 34 , it was not until a year later, during my first year of university, that I gave it any further 35 . I walked into my language classroom and met my professor. It was that very same man.

FOR many young people, having to attend school with a parent would be their worst nightmare. However, Senior 1 student Li Qinmei is happy taking her father with her as long as she can go to classes. He is disabled and unable to take care of himself. The 16-year-old country girl in Zhucheng, Shandong Province has experienced one disaster after another in her short life. Li lost her mother at three. Four years later, her father became paralyzed after a tractor accident. At 12, her misfortune returned with the death of her grandma. Since then she has been forced to shoulder all the responsibility for her broken family. Li learnt to cook and managed to live a life with an allowance of only 24 yuan per month. The most difficult thing she had to deal with was helping her father bathe, dress and use the toilet as he could hardly move. "I felt embarrassed, and so did my dad. It was really hard at the beginning," she recalled. During most of her junior school years, Li went to classes only once a month as her father was seriously ill at the time. "I taught myself at home and asked teachers for help on my school days," she explained. Li's hard work paid off this fall. She was admitted by Zhucheng No 1 High School, a local key school, based on her good performance in the entrance exams. The school offered Li and her father a room on campus to live in so she could look after him during breaks. Once in a while, Li felt sad when she saw her classmates going shopping or hanging out with friends. "I envy them sometimes because they have both mum and dad to look after them. However, I soon feel relieved as I still have my dad with me," she said. Li admitted that the difficulties in life had taught her to be strong. "I believe I will go on and continue my studies at a good university," she said, in a confident tone. Her teacher Mr. Wang has the same belief. Li made great progress in the recent monthly exams. "She works hard and is always eager to excel . It's not easy for her never to be late for school, but she has managed to make it work," Wang said. 1.Li Qinmei has to shoulder the family because ________.

A Swedish man was dug out alive after being snowed in his car on a forest track for two months with no food, police and local media reported on Saturday. The 45-year-old from southern Sweden was found on Friday, February17, too weak to say more than a few words. He was found not far from the city of Umea in the north of Sweden by snowmobilers who thought they had come across a ruined car until they dug their way to a window and saw movement inside. The man, who was lying in the back seat in a sleeping bag, said he had been in the car since December 19. “Just incredible that he’s alive considering that he had no food, but also since it’s been really cold for some time after Christmas.” a rescue team member told regional daily Vasterbottens- Kuriren, which broke the news. Ebbe Nyberg, duty officer at the Umea police, said police saw no reason to doubt that the man had been stuck in the car for a very long time. “We would not make up something like this. The rescue services were on site too and saw the same as us.” he told Vasterbottens-Kuriren. Umea University Hospital, where the man is recovering after being rescued by police and a rescue team, said in a statement he was doing well considering the circumstances. Doctors at the hospital said humans would normally be able to survive for about four weeks without food. Besides eating snow, the man probably survived by going into a dormant-like(休眠似的)state, physician Stefan Branth told Vasterbottens-Kuriren. “A bit like a bear that hibernates. Humans can do that.” he said. “He probably had a body temperature of around 31 degrees which the body adjusted to. Due to the low temperature, not much energy was used up.” “Why the man ended up under the snow in the forest remains unknown,” police said. 1.Who found the Swedish man in the snow? A.Snowmobilers. B.The police. C.A rescue team. D.Local people. 2.“Police saw no reason to doubt that the man had been stuck in the car for a very long time.” implies that . A.police didn’t think it true B.police were sure of the fact C.police had some doubt on the fact D.police had reasons to doubt the fact 3.The reason why the man could survive was most probably that . A.he was only forty-five year old B.he did not use any energy C.he slept in the sleeping bag D.he was in a dormant-like state 4.Which is the correct order of the following events? a.The Swedish man was stuck in the snow. b.He was sent to Umea University Hospital. c.He was found by snowmobilers. d.He was recovering after treatment. e.He stayed in his car for nearly two months. f.He was dug out by people. A.e, a, c, d, f, b B.a, e, c, f, b, d C.a, f, c, e, b, d D.e, c, f, a, d, b 5.Which of the following can be the best title of the passage? A.A Traffic Accident B.A Long Sleep in Winter C.An Incredible Survival D.A Successful Rescue

We each have a unique genetic (基因的,遗传的) make-up. Every cell of your body has the same set of about 100,000 separate genes made of DNA. These are the instructions for producing a person. Genes decide everything from the colour of your skin to the way your brain works. You have one of several billion combinations of DNA which come from the random mixing of your parents’ genes. Except for identical twins (同卵双胞胎), no one has the same combination as another person. You are unique! You are unique in another way too: in the way you are raised and all the experiences you have from before birth to adult life. These experiences influence you, your behaviour and attitudes, and the choices you make. But are genes or life experiences more important in shaping your appearance and personality? Scientists are studying twins to find out. One set of twins occurs every 70 births---some are identical and others are non-identical twins. Identical twins are special because they share exactly the same genes and often the same environment. Non-identical twins are more like ordinary brothers and sisters. Some identical twins have been adopted and brought up in different homes. With identical genes but a different home environment, scientists can study twins to see how much a particular feature depends on the genes we inherit. For example, we know that eye problems, like short-sightedness, are mostly genetic. But resistance to pain is largely dependent on experiences. Genes also influence our eating habits. Identical twins brought up apart often like to eat at the same time of day and feel full after eating the same amount. Non-identical twins in similar circumstances have more varied eating habits. Identical twins are also more likely to follow the same patterns for marriage and divorce than non-identical twins. Scientists are trying to identify the different genes that influence our behaviour. Some people are thrill-seekers and get into risk-taking and adventurous activities. They take up extreme sports like bungee jumping and possibly take drugs. Scientists have discovered a gene which affects this. We could ask, “Are our lives determined by our genes or our upbringing?” Scientists are learning more all the time, but it is certainly true that both are important in making us who we are. 1.What is the main idea of the first paragraph? A. We cannot easily change our physical appearance. B. How we turn out depends on our parents’ genes. C. Everyone has a physical double somewhere in the world. D. Both our genes and our experiences make us who we are. 2.Why are scientists studying twins? A. To find out how many twins are born every year. B. To discover what shapes us as individuals. C. To compare differences between twins. D. To study brother-and-sister relationships. 3.According to the passage, __________. A. one in 70 twins are genetically identical B. non-identical twins are usually not of the same sex C. twins separated at birth behave exactly the same D. identical twins are genetically the same 4.Which of the following is most affected by experience according the passage? A. Eating habits. B. Eye-sight. C. Pain resistance. D. Marriage patterns. 5.What does the underlined “this” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. Our love of sport. B. Our attitude to risk-taking. C. Our skill at bungee jumping. D. Our ability to take drugs.

We all remember seeing hitchhikers, standing by the side of the road, thumb, sticking out, waiting for a lift. But it is getting rare nowadays. What killed hitchhiking? Safety is often mentioned as a reason. Movies about murderous hitchhikers and real-life crime have put many drivers off picking up hitchhikers. That no single women picked me up on my journey to Manchester no doubt reflects the safety fear: a large, strangely dressed man is seen as dangerous. But the reason may be more complex: hitchhiking happens where people don’t have cars and transport services are poor. Plenty of people still hitchhike in Poland and Romania. Perhaps the rising level of car ownership in the UK means the few people lift hitchhiking are usually considered strange. Why can’t they afford cars? Why can’t they take the coach or the train? Three-quarters of the UK population have access to a car; many of the remainder will be quite old. The potential hitchhiking population is therefore small. Yet my trip proves it’s still possible to hitchhike. The people who picks me up were very interesting-lawyer, retired surgeon, tank commander, carpenter, man who live in an isolated farmhouse and a couple living up in the mountains. My conclusion is that only really interesting people are mad enough to pick up fat blokes in red, spotted scarves. Most just wanted to do someone a good turn; a few said they were so surprised to see a hitchhiker that they couldn’t help stopping. The future of hitchhiking most likely lies with car-sharing organized over the Internet, via sites such as hitchhikers. org. But for now, you can still stick your thumb out (actually, I didn’t do much of that, preferring just to hold up my destination sign) and people—wonderful, caring, sharing, unafraid people—will stop. In the UK, with its cheap coaches and reasonable rail service, I don’t think I’ll make a habit of it. But having enjoyed it so much, I’m ready now to do a big trip across Europe and beyond. In the 1970s a female friend of my wife’s hitchhiked to India. How wonderful it would be to have another go, though Afghanistan might be a challenge. I wish I’d got that tank commander’s mobile number. 1.The author tried to hitchhike but was rejected by single women drivers because . A. they were not heading towards Manchester B. they thought most hitchhikers were dangerous C. hitchhiking had been banned and they didn’t want to break the law D. he was a strong man in strange clothes who seemed dangerous 2.Which of the following statements is not true according to the passage? A. Movies have discouraged people from hitchhiking B. Car ownership levels are lower in Romania than in the UK. C. 25% of UK people don’t have access to cars. D. Increased car ownership has reduced the need for hitchhiking. 3.The “fat blokes in red, spotted scarves” in Paragraph 3 most likely means . A. murderous hitchhikers B. friendly and talkative hitchhikers C. typical hitchhikers D. strange hitchhikers like the author 4.According to the author, future hitchhikers are more likely to . A. visit websites and find people to share cars with B. stand by roads with their thumbs sticking out C. stick out signs with their destinations written on D. wait for some kind people to pick them up 5.From the last paragraph, we know that the author . A. frequently hitchhikes in Britain B. plans to hitchhike across Europe C. thinks public transport is safer for travel D. is going to contact the tank commander

A well-known English magazine invited five people to answer a series of questions. One of the questions is: Do you enjoy foreign food? Match the name of each person to one of the statements given below. 56. John Harvey: In fact if you go out to a restaurant, it’s very difficult to find the “British” cooking, but you can find almost anything else: French, Italian, Chinese, Indian and so on. London is full of foreign restaurants. I love trying “new dishes.” I think you can understand a lot about another culture from its food. 57. Jo Baker: I like foreign food, but not all. I particularly do not like Indian food, although I quite enjoy a mild curry I make myself. I like most European dishes, but Spanish food is quite low down on my list. However, I think you have to travel a long way to beat good old English cooking. What can be nicer than the aroma of a piece of beef roasted in the oven, surrounded by crisp roast potatoes and served with piping hot Yorkshire puddings, vegetables and gravy? From my point of view, I think foreign food is all right when you are abroad. You see, that’s just part of the enjoyment of travelling to another country. Foreign food is also fine for an odd night out to restaurant, but for every day please give me good old English food. 58. Gabby Macadam: On the whole I enjoy foreign food, but having said that I can think of dozens of foreign dishes which I simply can’t stand. You see, they have fish in some way or other and I never eat fish in any form. I have found that many foreign dishes are served with a kind of sauce. I think it is the accompanying sauce that hides all sorts of problems. I am not so sure that I would be as fond of them as I am if they were served without the sauce. 59. Len Dangerfield: When we English people travel abroad, we always make a great fuss about studying the menu but always end up with steak. You see, when I’m abroad I always miss our home cooking. I mean, I’m used to English food. Sometimes I do go to restaurant to taste some exotic dishes, but most of the time I still prefer to have English food. You know, it’s always difficult to get used to food in other countries. 60. Peter Hawke: I like foreign food. I particularly like Indian food. Well, I’m married to an Indian girl. She is a good cook. I’m so lucky to have her cook for me every day. I think Indian food as well as other foreign foods is generally tastier and spicier than English food. Traditional English dishes, like roast beef and Yorkshire pudding and fish and chips, are quite well-known abroad. But I must say as a nation we are not particularly good at catering. As far as I’m concerned, I think we should learn to cook more interesting dishes and make our food tastier and more varied. A. Cooking varies from country to country even though the basic gradients may be very much the same. B. I can’t stand those foreign dishes which contain fish in some way or other, and I’m not so sure that I’m fond of many foreign dishes which are served with a kind sauce. C. I think foreign food is all right when you are abroad, but for every day, traditional English food is always my first choice. D. Foreign dishes can be tasted occasionally, but I find it difficult to adjust to the tastes. So I still prefer English food. E. I love foreign food, and I think people can understand a lot about another culture from what they eat. F. English people should learn to cook more attractive dishes and make their food more delicious and varied.
