Jan was a window cleaner. One morning, Jan was in a lift of a high building with his window cleaning tools when the building was on fire.

There were five other passengers in the lift. All of a sudden the lift stopped. Although they didn’t know what had happened outside, they had only 100 minutes to get out of the building before it would fall into the dust.

Soon smoke began coming into the lift. The men knew that something was wrong. They tried to open the door but found a wall in front of them. The wall had the number 15 on it and they knew they were on the 15th floor. But their lift usually didn’t stop there, so there was no opening for them to escape. Jan decided they would have to make their own.

Knowing that the wall was made of a material that could be cut through, Jan took out his window cleaning tools, and began knocking a hole through the wall. When he felt tired, others helped.

Starting with one small hole, they cut through the three-inch-thick wall. Then they kicked hard at the wall. The wall cracked apart. They saw before them a tile (瓷砖) wall! Refusing to give up, they knocked a hole through the tile, then made the opening big enough to get through. Surprisingly, the fire-fighters were outside the hole, they took Jan and his partners to the nearest stairs and they ran down the stairs as quickly as possible. By 10:23, Jan and the others ran out of the building. Five minutes later, the building burned down.

1. What was Jan doing when the building was on fire?

A. He was cleaning the windows.

B. He was up to visit his friend.

C. He was on his way to his workplace.

D. He was cleaning the lift.

3.How much time did they use up before getting out of the building?

A. 5 minutes.      B. 50 minutes.

C. 95 minutes.      D. 100 minutes.

4.did they do when they saw a tile wall?

A. They were disappointed and gave up.

B. They had to wait for the fire-fighters.

C. They don’t know what to do.

D. They went on knocking through the wall.

C. Crying for help. D. Doing nothing.

If the only sports you do are dancing your fingers across your keyboard, you could be in serious danger of more than just becoming overweight and out of shape.

Do you often feel sleepy, like something is weighing down on your head? Do you feel forgetful? Do you sometimes feel uncomfortable up and down your neck and lower back, and you can’t explain why? Do you get sick often? It could be radiation (辐射) from your computer causing it. If you spend three hours or more a day in front of a computer (and at this point, who doesn’t?), you are more easily harmed by the hazards.

We have got so used to using computers that we often neglect (忽视) to think of them as dangerous sources of harmful radiation. A safe amount of radiation is 25 V/m (Volts/meter). Do you want to guess how much our personal computers give off?

Keyboard: 1000 V/m

Mouse: 450 V/m

Monitor: 218V/m

CPU: 170V/m

Notebook computers: 2,500 V/m

Ways of Protect Yourself from Harmful Computer Radiation

1. Decorate your desk with cactus (仙人掌) plants, they take in radiation.

2. Drink two to three cups of green tea a day and eat an orange daily. The vitamins in tea leaves and oranges protect us from radiation and keep our eyes healthy as well.

3. Use a screen filter（滤色镜） for your monitor.

4. Avoid having metal objects (金属物体) nearby on your desk.

5. Put the back of the computer to the wall. Most of the radiation comes off the back.

6. Keep your monitor at least 50cm away from your face.

7. Keep your computer rooms ventilated (空气流通的).

8. Eat healthily-----especially fruits and vegetables.

9. Don’t fall asleep on your computer. Turn it off if you have to rest nearby.

The ways above are useful, why not have a try at once?

1.Sitting to close to your computer for too long can cause                      .

A. your fingers to turn blue

B. radiation sickness

C. your parents to think you’re smart

D. your games scores to go down

2.The underlined word “hazards” in paragraph 2 means                      .

A. illness B. feelings C. danger D. headache

3.How can you avoid the affects (影响) of radiation?

A. Spend less time at your computer.

B. Use plastic to cover your screen.

C. Type in a dark room.

D. Have your cat do your homework for you.

4.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A. Cactus plants take in harmful radiation.

B. Eating healthily helps you stay well.

C. You should fall asleep at your computer daily.

D. A well ventilated room is good prevention.

5.The best title of the passage is                       .

A. Computer problems

B. Computer radiation: a silent killer

C. Protect yourself

D. Harmful radiation

I shook hands with my father in the truck, and for a long time he looked straight ahead and didn’t say a word. But I knew he was going to say a little to me. “I can’t tell anything,” he finally said. “I never went to college, and none of your brothers went to college. I can’t say, ‘I don’t do this and do that’, because everything is different and I don’t know what is going to come up. I can’t help much with money either, but I think things will work out. ”

He gave me a new check-book (支票簿). “If things get pushing, write a small check. But when you write one, send me a letter and let me know how much. There are some things we can always sell.” In four years all the checks I wrote were less than a thousand dollars. My part-time jobs such as reading to the blind student and sitting with the teachers’ kids filled in the financial gaps (经济缺口).

“You know what you want to be, and they’ll tell you what to take,” my father went on. “When you get a job, be sure it’s honest, and work hard.” I knew that soon I would be alone in the big town, and I would be missing the cool winds and a life where your thinking was done for you.

Then my dad reached down beside his seat and brought the old, broken Bible (圣经) that he had read so often, the one he used when he wanted to look something up in a friendly quarrel with one of the neighbors. I knew he would miss it. I knew, though, that I must take it.

He didn’t say, “Read this every morning.” He just said, “This can help you if you will let it.”

Did it help? I got through college without being a burden (负担) on the family. I have been able to make money since.

1.Why did the father not ask his son not to do this and do that?

A. Because he didn’t feel very confident of himself.

B. Because he was born from a poor family.

C. Because he was a man of few words.

D. Because he didn’t want to be much too strict with him.

2.What’s the proper Chinese meaning for the underlined part “get pushing” in the passage?

A. 闲暇时光     B. 学费       C. 经济不足   D. 精神空虚

3.What kind of book did the Bible seem to be to the writer’s father?

A. It was a book which told you how to quarrel with others.

B. It was a book that could bring you money.

C. It was a book that told you how to get a good job and a good future.

D. It was a good book that could help you when you were in trouble.

4. What is the writer’s main purpose (目的) in writing this passage?

A. To tell the readers his life story.

B. To tell people what kind of person his father was.

C. To let people know how poor he was.

D. To tell the readers what present he got from his father.

5.What would someone learn from this passage?

A. How to communicate with parents.

B. How to stand on one’s own feet.

C. What a good father should do.

D. What the self-important is like.

How important is color in the business world?

Google, one of the biggest U.S. companies, is trying to find it out. The company has already found “a close connection between color and satisfaction with a person’s work area”. That’s according to its spokeswoman named Meghan Casserly.

“Color is a silent salesperson,” said Elyria Kemp. She is an assistant professor of marketing at the University of New Orleans.

Kemp is following color trends in business. She is studying the connection between feelings and color. According to Kemp, when people make an evaluation (评估) of a product, usually they do this within 90 seconds or less. Besides, more than half of their first evaluation is based on (以……为根据) color alone.

That’s why so many companies are researching their color choices. They are spending thousands of dollars on the research, too. Just think of UPS’s Pullman brown, Home Depot’s orange and Tiffany & Co.’s blue.

Joclyn Benedetto is a spokeswoman for Tiffany & Co. She said the success of the company’s jewelry (珠宝) was connected to its blue color. It is used to wrap (包装) every product. She said the color was chosen by the founder Charles Lewis Tiffany for the cover of Blue Book, Tiffany’s annual collection of beautifully hand-made jewels, which first came out in 1845.

Coca-Cola’s red color also dates back more than 100 years. The soft drink was shipped in barrels painted red.

A spokesperson for Home Depot said research showed that the first thing people thought of was orange when they heard the name of the company.

Smaller companies are also realizing the importance of color. But picking the right color is important.

“You know when something is right because you get a feeling of safety, and it’s not something that you think about. It just will hit you,” said Emil Hagopian, a distributor for Mar Plast Color Building Accessories in Ann Arbor, Mich. “And sometimes, if it’s done wrong, that also hits you.”

1.What is Google trying to find out?

A. How to create a better work area.

B. How to become the biggest U.S. company.

C. The connection between color and business.

D. The secret of success in the business world.

2.Which company does Meghan Casserly work for?

A. Tiffany & Co.              B. Coca-Cola.

C. Home Depot.                D. Google.

3.People usually make an evaluation of a product              .

A. in a short time           B. in a long time

C. based on its shape        D. based on their feelings

4. What do we know about Tiffany & Co. according to the passage?

A. It only sells women’s clothes.

B. Blue is its owner’s favorite color.

C. Its products are wrapped in blue.

D. Its red color dates back over 100 years.

5.The passage is mainly about              .

A. the colors which are popular in the United States

B. the importance of color in the business world

C. the relation between color and a company’s name

D. the bad influence color has on small companies

For thousands of years, people have lived with dogs. Ancient paintings on the walls of caves show people living with dogs. Almost a third of the homes in the United States and England have dogs, and these dogs come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes.

The largest dog in the world was a dog named Zorba. When Zorba, a mastiff, was seven years old in 1989, he was 94 centimeters (37 inches) tall. In other words, Zorba was more than half as tall as an adult man. At his largest, Zorba weighed more than a heavy weight boxer at 156 kilograms(343 pounds).

In comparison, the smallest bog was a Yorkshire terrier from England. This dog was only the size of a matchbox, measuring 7.1 centimeters(2.8 inches) tall and 9.5 centimeters (3.75 inches) from nose to tail. It weighed about half as much as a common book, and even a young child could easily pick it up with one hand. It passed away in 1945 when it was only two years old.

Some dogs are wonderful, not for their sizes, but for their brains. One incredible (难以制信的)dog is Endal, the companion (陪伴) of a man named Allen Parton who has used a wheelchair since a car accident in 1991.

In 2001, Parton was hit by a car while crossing a road with Endal, and thrown out of his chair. Endal quickly moved Parton into the recovery place, covered him with a blanket(毯子), and pushed his mobile phone close enough for him to reach. Then, once he saw that Parton was all right, Endal ran back and forth to a nearby hotel, barking until people came out to help.

Endal was rewarded for his bravery by being awarded a medal, and he has been the subject of a number of TV documentaries.

1.Why do people have dogs as pets?

B. Dogs are easy to be taken care of.

C. Dogs come in all shapes and sizes.

D. The passage doesn’t tell us about it .

2.The underlined word “mastiff ” in Paragraph 2 probably means________.

3.The world’s smallest dog weighed half as much as_________ according to the passage.

A. a child’s hand    B. a matchbox

4.What is the right order that Endal saved Parton according to the passage?

a. Moving Parton into a recovery place.

b. Running back and forth to a nearby hotel.

c. covering Parton with a blanket.

d. Pushing Parton’s phone close for him to reach.

A. abcd           B. bcda         C. acdb               D. acbd

5.Which of the followings do you think can describe Endal best according to the passage?

A. Strange.            B. Unbelievable.

C. Hardworking.        D. Honest.

From the time each of my children started school, I packed their lunches. And in each lunch I packed, I left a note. The note might be a thank-you for a special moment, or a few words of encouragement for the coming test or sporting event.

When they were little, they loved their notes. And when I went back to teaching, they even put notes in my lunches. As they grew older, my elder son, Marc, told me that he no longer needed my daily notes. Telling him that he no longer needed to read them but I still needed to write them, I continued the tradition until the day he graduated.

Six years after high school graduation, Marc called and asked if he could stay at home for a couple of months. He had spent those years well, and he was very successful. He lived far away from home. With his younger sister leaving for college, I was especially looking forward to seeing Marc at home.

Since I was still making lunch every day for his younger brother, I packed one for Marc, too. Imagine my surprise when I got a call from my 24-year-old son, complaining (抱怨) about his lunch.

“Did I do something wrong? Aren’t I still your kid? Don’t you love me any more, Mom?” he asked.

I laughingly asked him what was wrong.

“My note, Mom,” he answered. “Where’s my note?”

This year my younger son will be in high school. He, too, has said that he is too old for notes. But like his elder brother and sister, he will receive those notes till the day he graduates.

The Students’ Union

June 19 , 2014

In a classroom in any countries, the teacher teaches more than art or history or language. He or she teaches something behind--- the culture of the country.

In a country such as the United States, people with different history, culture and language join together and they pay much attention to person ideas. Teachers try to make each student special. Students do not have to remember a lot of information, instead, they work and find answers by themselves. There is often discussion in the classroom. At an early age students learn to have their own ideas. Their education encourages personal thought . The importance is placed on how to arrive at an answer and not only to get the correct answer.

In most Asian countries, people have the same language, history and culture.  Perhaps for this reason, the education there pays more attention to group goals than personal ideas. Children in China and Japan often work together and help each other on homework. In the classroom, the ways of teaching are often very traditional. The teacher says, and the students listen. There is not much discussion. Instead, the students repeat  rules or information that they have been taught in order to keep them in mind.

In many ways these differences come from different educational ideas. In Western countries teachers are taught to help students to learn. They make it easier for the students to learn by themselves. In some Asian countries, however, teachers often feel that their job is to pass knowledge to students.
