“AN Englishman, even if he is alone, forms an orderly queue (队伍) of one,” wrote famous British author George Mikes. While this sounds funny, it’s a popular English stereotype (刻板印象). From the supermarket to the subway, queues are a common sight on the streets of Britain. Here in China, queues are normal, too. It is a part of everyday life. People queue most of the time, from buying tickets in the cinema to waiting for seats at a restaurant. But in certain situations, you’ll find yourself in the middle of a rushing crowd, such as getting onto the subway. Even away from the busy subway platform (站台), queues are different. One day I was standing in line at the supermarket. I left a small space in front of me. Within seconds, a girl walked by and took her place in that small space. I was surprised at first, but later I found these experiences very interesting. It is with these small, everyday differences that I get to live and learn within a new culture. Back in Britain, the average person spends six months of their life waiting in a queue, according to the auction site MadBid. To pass the time, maybe they tell themselves the famous proverb: good things come to those who wait. 1.The English are well known for _____. A. forming an orderly queue B. being rude and loud C. traveling on subways D. spending more time waiting in a queue 2.The purpose of the article is to _____. A. call on people in China to queue more B. compare queuing in two cultures C. praise the English for following good manners D. explain why people rush in some situations 3.In which part of a newspaper would you most probably read this article? A. Sports. B. News. C. Culture. D. Business.

ARE you creative, shy, outgoing? Our personalities reveal a lot about who we are. But what’s surprising is that our personality can also say something about our health. That’s according to researchers at Duke University, US. During an experiment on 1,000 people, scientists assessed (评定) their personalities in two ways: by asking someone they knew, such as a family member or friend; then by asking someone they had just met, such as a nurse. The study found that those who were careful at age 26 were in better health after 12 years. Being careful means that people tend to have a lot of self-control, and are less likely to smoke, the scientists said. Careful people are also more likely to have an active lifestyle and healthy diet. From those who were least careful, 45 percent developed health problems by the age of 38. Such health issues included gum disease and high blood pressure (高血压). To compare, only 18 percent of careful people went on to develop health problems. Another positive personality was called “openness to experience”, meaning curious and imaginative. People who have more of this personality have higher IQ scores. So they’d be more likely to know how to find medical help to prevent disease. According to the report, if doctors assessed our personalities, it could help doctors to find which young adults need advice on how to live a healthy lifestyle. What’s surprising is that stress didn’t play a big part on a person’s health. Even though stress and anxiety (焦虑) are usually linked to bad health. But can a doctor who knows our personality really improve our health? Or should doctors be kept away from knowing something so personal? 1.Which personality type may be better for our health, according to the research? A. self-controlled. B. Stressed. C. Shy. D. Careless. 2.From the passage, we learn that careful people ____. A. are too shy to talk to strangers B. love to ask the doctor for advice C. are likely to have a healthy lifestyle D. may have high blood pressure when they’re older 3.Where can you probably read the article? A. Newspaper. B. Science fiction book. C. Research paper. D. Travel guide. 4.What is the main idea of the article? A. People can change their personality type. B. Scientists have found two different personality types. C. Personalities have something to do with our lifestyle. D. Personalities say something about our health.

It is well-known that everyone has his own dream as well as his own future. But do you know what future really is? I have to say that future is now. That is to say, we must treasure every minute now. If we want to have a bright future, we should know how important time is and use it well. There is an old English saying: “Gain time, gain life.” Then what’s time? Time is something that we can’t see or touch, but we can feel it passing by. Time is always with us. When we are at table, time passes; when we play, time goes by unnoticeable. We always say “Time is money,” but time is even more precious than money, because when money is spent, we can earn it back. But if time is gone, it well never return. So some of us even say time is priceless. We should always remember: Future is now. For us students, we should try our best to work hard in order to create a great future of our own. We should make the best use of every hour and be the master of today. We should do everything before us as well as possible. And never put off what can be done today till tomorrow. As we all know, “Time and tide wait for no man.” If you waste today, you will regret tomorrow. So from now on, work hard. Tomorrow will be better, and your future will be brighter. Remember: “No pains, no gains.” Today’s hard work is the cause of tomorrow’s harvest. 根据文章内容，补全下面句子，每空一词。 1.If we want to have a bright future, we should know the _____ of time and make every minute useful. 2.Time is money, but time is even more ______ than money. 3.When money is _____, we can earn it back. 4.Time is priceless. _____ time will return no more. 5.As students, we should never put off what can be done today till tomorrow and we should try our _____ to do everything well.

A solar-powered(太阳能动力的) plane has passed an important test on the way to travel around the world. The plane took off from an airport in Switzerland at 45km an hour. it slowly rose above the fields and into the sky. During the 90-minute flight, the plane did several turns. It climbed nearly 1.6km above the countryside. “There has never been an airplane of that kind that could fly – never an airplane so big, so light, using so little energy,” said Bertrand Piccard, a leader of the project. Engineers plan to test a night light soon. They plan to travel around the world in that plane in 2012. “We want to fly it day and night without fuel,” Piccard said. Piccard and pilot Andre Borschberg will take the plane around the world. They will make a few stops to change places and rest after a long time in the air – and to show off their aircraft. The plane flies at 70 kilometers per hour on average. That is faster than a bike. The pilots will keep the plane in the air for up to five days at a time. 阅读短文完成表格，每空一词。
