Maybe someone will say the driver is so stupid, we could not find such a man in our real life. But, friends, please read it one more time! Trust me, it can easy our life……
Last Monday I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport.
We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded, and missed the other car by just inches! The driver of the black car whipped his head around and started shouting at us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at him and I mean he was really friendly.
So I asked, ―Why did you just do that? This man almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!‖ This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call ―The Law of the Garbage Truck.‖
He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage ─full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they‘ll dump it on you. Don‘t take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Don‘t take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets.
The bottom line is that successful people do not let garbage trucks take over their day. Life‘s too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so ―Love the people who treat you right. Pray for the ones who don‘t.‖

As mobile phones grow in popularity, telephone
booths have become in German cities. But a new
project in Berlin is hoping to turn them into shelters for
another endangered technology — books.
Konrad Kutt of the Institute for Sustainability in
Education, Employment and Culture decided to start the
BücherboXX project to improve reading in Berlin. They
filled telephone booths that are about to be thrown away
with books and put benches outside for people to sit down
and take a reading break. ―It teaches people about reusing
in details, about sustainability (持续性) and also about improving learning,‖ said Kutt. These public bookshelves are in the streets of many cities across Germany. These libraries are supported by donations and taken care by local volunteer groups. Each shelf holds around 200 books. It takes about six weeks to replace the old books with new ones.
Each of Berlin‘s three current reading booths has been colourfully painted by students who are also responsible for building the benches and bookshelves inside the booths. The telephone booths themselves were bought from telephone companies that set to just throw them away.
Some community members keep an eye on the booths to prevent destroying and make sure they are often cleaned. In these libraries, people can read whatever they want to read. Local people who visit the booths are encouraged to leave one of their own books when they take a book with them. There are no sign-out sheets or rules for visitors to follow, like at a library because the BücherboXX system relies on trust and the community‘s good will.
One woman named Petra Rücker, a 45-year-old social worker, stopped by to take a look at the books. ―I come by here on the way to work but never have stopped by until now,‖ Rücker said. ―It looks interesting.‖ This time, she left without a book. ―But I will certainly be back here,‖ she said.
64. Are telephone booths very popular in Germany?

66. Why are there no sign-out sheets or rules for visitors to follow?
67. Did Petra Rücker leave the booth with a book or without a book?

Many of us don‘t pay much attention to the importance of eye care. It is said that if you take care of your body, then you can surely be healthy. That is why our eyes should be given a lot of care. Natural eye care should be put in a number one place.
There are several causes leading to poor eyesight like not enough food, genes (基因) and age. Televisions, computers and reading are also the causes of having poor eyesight. If you happen to work in front of the computer, it is best to take a break every once in a while. Something dirty can cause redness and they will make you feel uncomfortable.

For example, wearing sunglasses can serve as a great way to protect your eyesight from UV rays in the strong sunlight.
Some foods will do good to your eyesight. Remember that vitamins A, C and E are good for eyes. Try to eat food groups that have these vitamins. And you should do eye exercises because exercise protects your eyesight, too. If a person exercises regularly and eats the right kind of food, his eyes will stay in good condition for a long time.

Do you have sleeping problems? Is it hard for you to remember
or pay attention in class? Do you easily get angry? If your answer
is yes, you may be under stress.
Stress is a normal physical response (反应) to things that make
people feel worried. In China, 70 percent of the 2,000 students
about to take the college or high school entrance examination are
under high stress, according to a recent survey by Wuhan
University of Hubei province.
Sometimes stress is good for people. It pushes people to do their best, like while getting ready before a big competition or exam. However, too much or long-term stress makes people feel a stress overload (负荷过多), and affects people‘s health. When you feel stressed, there are some ways you can deal with (处理) it. Learning to solve small problems in everyday life is helpful. It can help build confidence to move on to life‘s bigger ones. Try saying positive things to yourself, like ―I will do the best that I can,‖ or ―I can manage this if I take one step at a time.‖ That encourages you to work toward your goal. It is also important to relax sometimes, for example by getting a good night‘s sleep, doing exercises or taking a bath.
But if you are under high stress and can‘t handle it by yourself, it is also good to ask parents or friends for help. Everyone has stress. Don‘t be too shy to tell others that you are having a hard time. They may comfort you or give you some useful advice. You may feel better just from sharing your problems with them. 271 w

Napoga is a 12-year-old girl in Ghana, Africa. It is hard for her family to get clean water. Every morning, she leaves home at half past five to get clean water for her family in a village far away. It takes her six hours to get enough clean water for daily cooking and drinking. She has no time to go to school or to play with her friends. Millions of people in the world are like Napoga. They can‘t get enough clean water to keep healthy.
Earth Day is April 22. But on all other days, we must also remember it. The water we use is the most important natural resource on the earth.
Water covers 70% of the earth‘s surface. But most of that is sea water. We can‘t use it for very many things. Fresh water covers only 1% of the earth‘s surface. You probably feel lucky that your life isn‘t as hard as Napoga‘s. But that doesn‘t mean you don‘t have to worry about water. We all face serious water problems. One of them is water pollution. All kinds of things from cars, factories, farms and homes make our rivers, lakes, and oceans dirty. Polluted water is very bad for people to drink. And dirty water is bad for fish, too. Now, 34% of all kinds of fish are dying out. How do cars and factories make our water dirty? First, they pollute the air. Then,when it rains, the rain water comes down and makes our drinking water dirty. Dirty rain called acid rain(酸雨), is also bad for plants, animals and buildings.Something must be done to prevent water form being polluted.
Scientists say that in 30 years, more than half of the people in the world won‘t have enough clean water. We have to learn how to save more water for ourselves and our children. Here is some advice for saving water:
●Turn off the water while you brush your teeth. You can save as much as 450 liters(升) each month.
●Leaky taps(漏水的龙头) waste a lot of water. Fix them right away!
●You can easily cut your 10-minute showers in half—and you‘ll be just as clean. ●When you wash dishes, don‘t let the water run.
●Only wash clothes when you have a lot to wash. If your washing machine isn‘t full, you‘re wasting water!

65.When is Earth Day?
66.How much does fresh water cover the earth‘s surface ?
67.What do you think of dirty water?

“Life’s a long, long journey(旅程)” so we are told, and most of us would not set off on a journey, even a short one, without some idea of where we wanted to go. Yet many people travel on life’s journey with no sense of direction at all.
Setting personal goals can give your life a sense of direction. Goal setting is used by top sports players, successful business people and achievers in all fields. Before you set personal goals, think about what you want to achieve with your life.
to achieve them?
To help make the process (过程) more manageable, divide your goals into smaller tasks. For example, if you want to reach a main goal in five years, set a three-year goal, a one-year goal, a three-month goal and a one-month goal. Then create a daily To-Do List of things that you should do today. When a goal is achieved, take the time to enjoy your success. This helps you build the self-confidence.
Remember, your goals can change as time goes on. But be sure your goals are things you hope to achieve, not what your parents, family or teachers want.
64. Is life a long journey according to the passage?
65. Why do you need to set your life goal?

There are hundreds of funny and strange expressions in the English language. A lot of them include country names or nationalities. Take these examples:
The Dutch(丹麦人)are the target of most English expressions about nationalities. Why are there so many jokes about the Dutch in English? And what do these expressions mean? In the 17th and early 18th centuries, there were three wars between the British and the Dutch, and Dutch became a bad word. So double Dutch means something that has no meaning or is impossible to understand. A Dutch uncle is someone who gives much stronger advice than they need to. There are later expressions, which are funnier and kinder, like to go Dutch, which is nowadays a popular expression. It means to pay for your part of a bill. This often happens when a group of friends have a meal together, and each person pays for the food they ate. I’m a Dutchman is another commonly used expression. This means not being able to believe something.
An expression with a similar meaning to double Dutch is it’s all Greek to me, which means I don’t understand. The expression was made famous in Shakespeare’s play Julius Caesar although the expression is actually hundreds of years older.
If you take French leave, you are not present or leave somewhere without permission. For example, you could take French leave from a classroom or the place where you work. This expression is from the 18th century when French people left parties without saying goodbye to the host or hostess.
There are Chinese whispers, which mean confused(令人困惑的)messages. This describes the fact that a message can often change as it is passed from person to person. This expression comes from the First World War when foreigners were often confused by Chinese language.
Many people find English expressions confusing, but now that you know about some of them, you can easily have fun finding out many more funny English expressions.

Mr. Medler has signed up (报名) for Blenheim race—this year’s OX5 Run, in which people raise funds (基
金) for Oxford Children’s Hospital by running 5 miles near Blenheim Palace. It will be held on Sunday, March 25. Mr. Medler knows how important it is to raise funds for the hospital because his girl friend Ella Hughes, who he met when they were students at Oxford Brookes University, is one of the nurses there.
“I hear about the great work Ella and her workmates do every day. Everyone works so hard to keep the children feel relaxed and happy , so any help, I or others can give, will be thankfully received,” said Mr. Medler.
Mr. Medler lives next to Blenheim Palace where the five-mile run will be held for the 10 time. He is confident he can complete the course and is hoping to finish in about 40 minutes. “I am doing the OX5 Run for the first time and want to raise as much money as possible,” he said. “I am lucky enough to live here, so I would encourage everyone in the area to sign up for the run and do their bit. It can make us both healthier and happier.”
OX5 Run is really helpful to the children in the hospital. More and more people realize its value and begin to take part in it. Since it was started in 2001, OX5 Run has raised more than £500,000 for the hospital beyond what the government can offer. Last year, nearly 1,000 runners took part, raising more than £60,000 which funded a care unit and a room where teenage cancer patients can relax. Fundraisers are hoping 1,000 runners can raise £100 each for a 10th anniversary (周年纪念) total of about £100,000. The raised money could be spent on new toys or other things to make the children’s stay in hospital a happier one.

Street art is spreading quickly all over the world. You can find it on building, sidewalks and street signs from Tokyo to Paris.
It is said that the movement(运动) began in New York in the 1960s. Young adults would use paint in special cans to put their words and other pictures on walls and train cars around the city. One well-known street artist(艺术家) is Swoon. She cuts out paper pictures of people and puts them on walls. Swoon didn’t start her career(生涯) as a street artist. She studied art but, as time went on, got bored with the works she saw in museums and galleries(美术馆). The people enjoyed Swoon’s strong and interesting style.
Street artists do their work for a reason. Some of them choose street art because it is closer to the people. Some artists try to express their political opinions in their works. Advertising companies also use street art in their advertisements. The New York department store Saks Fifth Avenue recently used a street artist’s design for their shop windows and shopping bags.
In today’s world, artists can show their pictures to the people all over the world on the Internet. Many people, however, say that seeing a picture on the Internet is never as good as seeing it live. Street art lives with the energy and life of a big city. There it will continue to change and grow.

Napoga is a 12-year-old girl in Ghana, Africa. It is hard for her family to get clean water. Every morning, she leaves home at half past five to get clean water for her family in a village far away. It takes her six hours to get enough clean water for daily cooking and drinking. She has no time to go to school or to play with her friends. Millions of people in the world are like Napoga. They can’t get enough clean water to keep healthy.
Earth Day is April 22. But on all other days, we must also remember it. The water we use is the most important natural resource on the earth.

All kinds of things from cars, factories, farms and homes make our rivers, lakes, and oceans dirty. Polluted water is very bad for people to drink. And dirty water is bad for fish, too.

●Turn off the water while you brush your teeth. You can save as much as 450 liters(升) each month.
●Leaky taps(漏水的龙头) waste a lot of water. Fix them right away!

Street art is spreading quickly all over the world. You can find it on building, sidewalks and street signs
from Tokyo to Paris.
It is said that the movement(运动) began in New York in the 1960s. Young adults would use paint in
special cans to put their words and other pictures on walls and train cars around the city. One well-known
street artist(艺术家) is Swoon. She cuts out paper pictures of people and puts them on walls. Swoon didn t
start her career(生涯) as a street artist. She studied art but, as time went on, got bored with the works she saw
in museums and galleries(美术馆). The people enjoyed Swoon s strong and interesting style. Street artists do their work for a reason. Some of them choose street art because it is closer to the people.
Some artists try to express their political opinions in their works. Advertising companies also use street art in
their advertisements. The New York department store Saks Fifth Avenue recently used a street artist s design
for their shop windows and shopping bags.
In today s world, artists can show their pictures to the people all over the world on the Internet. Many
people, however, say that seeing a picture on the Internet is never as good as seeing it live. Street art lives
with the energy and life of a big city. There it will continue to change and grow.
64. Did street art start from Paris?
65. Where did the street artists paint at the beginning?
66. What did people think of Swoon s street art?
67. How did the department store use street art?
68. What does the writer mainly talk about in the last paragraph?

I always say that we could make our lives better, but I could not do it well once I am in depression. Maybe
someone will say the driver is so stupid, we could not find such a man in our real life. But, friends, please read it
one more time! Trust me, it can easy our life……
Last Monday I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport.
We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of
us. My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded, and missed the other car by just inches! The driver of the black
car whipped his head around and started shouting at us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at him and I mean
he was really friendly.
So I asked, Why did you just do that? This man almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital! This is
when my taxi driver taught me what I now call The Law of the Garbage Truck.
He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage ─full of frustration,
full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes
they ll dump it on you. Don t take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Don t take their
garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets.
The bottom line is that successful people do not let garbage trucks take over their day. Life s too short to
wake up in the morning with regrets, so Love the people who treat you right. Pray for the ones who don t.
64. Can we make our lives better easily?
65. Where did the writer go last Monday?
66. What did the taxi driver do when someone shouted at him?
67. What do many people do when they are full of anger, dump it on others or keep it in their hearts?

There are hundreds of funny and strange expressions in the English language. A lot of them include country
names or nationalities. Take these examples:
The Dutch(丹麦人)are the target of most English expressions about nationalities. Why are there so many
th th
jokes about the Dutch in English? And what do these expressions mean? In the 17 and early 18
centuries, there
were three wars between the British and the Dutch, and Dutch became a bad word. So double Dutch means
something that has no meaning or is impossible to understand. A Dutch uncle is someone who gives much
stronger advice than they need to. There are later expressions, which are funnier and kinder, like to go Dutch,
which is nowadays a popular expression. It means to pay for your part of a bill. This often happens when a group
of friends have a meal together, and each person pays for the food they ate. is another commonly used expression. This means not being able to believe something.
An expression with a similar meaning to double Dutch is , which means Julius Caesar although the expression is
actually hundreds of years older.
If you take French leave, you are not present or leave somewhere without permission. For example, you
th
could take French leave from a classroom or the place where you work. This expression is from the 18 century
when French people left parties without saying goodbye to the host or hostess.
There are Chinese whispers, which mean confused(令人困惑的)messages. This describes the fact that a
message can often change as it is passed from person to person. This expression comes from the First World War
when foreigners were often confused by Chinese language.
Many people find English expressions confusing, but now that you know about some of them, you can easily
have fun finding out many more funny English expressions.
64. Are there many jokes about the Dutch in English?
65. When did Dutch become a bad word? French leave
67. Which three expressions mentioned above have similar meanings?
68. What do the funny and strange expressions in the passage have in common?

A young woman is waiting for her plane to board at a large airport. In order for the time to go by a bit more
quickly, she decides to buy a book and a small bag of biscuits. She takes a seat in the VIP waiting area so that she
could enjoy the quietness.
Next to her is a small table with the bag of biscuits, and next to that sits a man reading a
newspaper. When
she's about to take a biscuit, the man takes one.
She's surprised but doesn't say anything and continues to read her book. She thinks to herself, "Wow, look at
this. If I were a bit braver, I would have hit him by now." Every time she takes a biscuit, the man, not caring at all,
also takes one.
This continues until there is only one biscuit left, and the woman thinks "I wonder what'll happen now!" The
man takes the last one and divides it in two! "This is really too much!" she begins to say, angrily, and takes her
things and makes her way towards the exit of the waiting area. When she feels a bit better, after the anger has
passed, she sits down at an empty place to avoid having another uncomfortable person sitting next to. She closes
her book and opens her handbag to throw it in...and in that moment sees the small bag of biscuits she had bought,
unopened.
Ashamed and feeling like a thief(小偷), she finally got that the biscuits were not hers, but that they belonged
to the man sitting next to her, who had calmly offered to share his last biscuit with her, totally unlike her, who was
hurt by her own pride and feelings.
64. Is the young woman waiting for her plane?
65. Is the man reading a book or a newspaper?
66. What do they eat while reading?
67. How does the man do with the last biscuit?
68. What does the last paragraph mean?

Paragraph 3 Good English speakers need to know how to speak politely.
Paragraph 4 The choice of language depends on the situation and the relationship between the speakers.
USING SUITABLE LANGUAGE
In different situations, you need to choose and use suitable language based on cultural knowledge.
Could You Please ...?
When you visit a foreign country, it is important to know how to ask for help politely. For example, “Where are the restrooms?” or “Could you please tell me where the restrooms are?” are similar requests for directions to a place. Both are correct English, but the first one sounds less polite. That is because it is a very direct question. It is not enough to just ask a question correctly. We also need to learn how to be polite by being less direct — or more indirect — when we ask for help.
In English, as in Chinese, we change the way we speak when we talk with different people. The
expressions you use might depend on whom you are speaking to or how well you know them. If you say to your teacher, “When is the school trip?”, this might sound impolite. But if you say, “Excuse me, Mr. West. Do you know when the school trip is?”, this will sound much more polite. However, it is all right to ask direct questions in some situations, like with your classmates.
Usually polite questions are longer and include more language such as “Could you please ...?” or “Can I ask ...?” It sounds more polite to say, “Peter, could you please tell me your e-mail address?” than “Peter, tell me your e-mail address.” Sometimes we even need to spend time leading in to a request. For example, with a stranger on the street, we might first say, “Excuse me, I wonder if you can help me” or “I’m sorry to trouble you, but ...” before asking for help.
It might seem more difficult to speak politely than be direct. However, it is important to learn how to use proper language. This will also help you become better at English, or any other language you wish to speak.
Pardon me, could you please tell me where to park my car?
Sure. There’s an underground parking lot over there.
Where’s the post office?
Sorry. I can’t help you.
2c Look at the requests and write two more. Describe a suitable situation for each one. Then make the
3a Imagine you are going on a short study vacation at a school in an English-speaking country. What
3b Write a polite letter to the school asking for the information you wantto know. Use your notes in 3a. Dear Sir or Madam,

When I got home that day, I could see an inviting light from the kitchen windows. Momma was baking. When Momma baked, I always watched and chatted with her. She always said it was

made of pieces of animal skin sewed together and filled tightly with feathers or hay.

试题分值:25.0 得分:[5, 5, 5, 5, 5]
提示:[1]B.细节题。本题问“古埃及人对投掷石头有什么看法?”中心词是“throwing stones”。答案在第二段,不过第二段中并没有出现“throwing stones”,而是“pitching stones”。这两个词的意思一样。第二段大意是“在古埃及,投掷石头是孩子们喜爱的一项活动。但是如果石头投掷得不好,孩子就会受伤。为了寻找一些不那么危险的物品来投掷,埃及人发明了第一个球。”所以,答案是B。A的意思是“投掷石头不是孩子们喜爱的一
项活动”,C的意思是“投掷石头太令人厌倦”,D的意思是“投掷石头没有任何规则”。
[2]A.细节题。本题问“第一个球是怎么制造的?”中心词是“the first balls”,答案在第三段的第一句,该句大意是“开始的时候,人们用藤条缠绕草和树叶来制作球”。据此可知答案是A。
[3]D.细节题。本题问“对埃及人来说,球类比赛是______。”中心词是“ball games”,答案在最后一段的第二句话,该句大意是“也许,埃及人玩球类比赛更多的是为了教育而非乐趣”。据此可知答案是D(教育性的)。 [4]C.细节题。本题问“埃及人发明的球类比赛_______。” 中心词是“ball games”,答案在最后一段,该段大意是“不久以后,埃及人就发明了很多球类比赛,每种比赛都有自己的一套规则。也许,埃及人玩球类比赛更多的是为了教育而非乐趣。球类比赛主要被认为是一种教授人们战争所需要的速度和技巧的方式”。据此可知答案是C(具有自己的一套规则)。A的意思是“和如今的球类比赛一样”,B的意思是“很受年轻人的欢迎”,D的意思是“女性不玩”。
