Passage 1
“It is never too late and you are never too old to start something new!” says Englishtown student Ellen Remo. Ellen began to learn English at the age of fifty, and in just a few years, she has made great progress!
Ellen chose to study on Englishtown because no evening classes were offered in the German countryside where she lives. On Englishtown, she has conversation classes online and speaks with native English-speaking teachers.
“Englishtown is a wonderful place for study,” she says. Ellen began with the first level (水平) of Englishtown and quickly progressed. “I spent hours and hours studying,” she said. “Maybe I wanted too much in a short time. I finished all my courses after 2 years, but I still had grammar difficulties.”
Instead of giving up, she chose to continue. After another two years on Englishtown, she’s still studying in the online classroom. “Studying online is never boring, but you need practice, practice, practice!”Ellen says studying English isn’t all about hard work. It should also be fun. “I really like the online conversation classrooms,” she says. “I have learned so much about other cultures and traditions.”

Passage 2
“Did you go skating a lot last year?” I asked. Jen shook her head and looked at me. Finally she said, “On Thanksgiving, Mom and I always went to visit some friends who lived on a farm. I especially loved seeing their big turkeys.”
Until then, I didn’t think about how Jen felt. She had a new stepfather (继父) and stepbrother, and had a new town and home, too. Jen and her mom used to live near a lake where Dad and I went every summer, and she had to move up north with us. She had more changes than me.
Jen seemed sad, so I was busy thinking of some ways to cheer her up on Thanksgiving. I told her my plan and she was excited. First we made a huge snowball, and then a small snowball. Then we built a wall behind the big snowball as a tail. Jen mixed some food coloring with water, saying, “We can spray (喷) colors on the tail.” Our snow turkey had a red, blue, green, and yellow tail. We were so busy that we didn’t notice our parents come outside. Dad found a hat for the snow turkey, and Mom wrapped her scarf around its neck.
“Thanks for cheering Jen up,” Mom said. “You’re a good brother, and you always come up with great ideas.” A happy feeling spread through me. I began to understand how much she cared about everyone in our new family.

Passage 3
I have a rule for travel, never carry a map. I prefer to ask for directions. Foreign visitors are oft en puzzled in Japan because most streets there don’t have names. In Japan, people use landmarks instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.”
In the country of the American Midwest, usually there are not many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat. In many places there are no towns or buildings with miles. Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distance. In Kansas (堪萨斯州), for example, people will say, “Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile.”
People in Los Angeles, California have no idea of distance on the map. They measure(测量) distance by telling time. “How far away is the post office?”you ask.“Oh,”they answer, “it’s about five minutes from here.”You say, “Yes, but how many miles away is it?” They don’t know.
People in Greece (希腊) sometimes do not even try to give directions because few visitors understand the Greek language. Instead of giving you the direction, a Greek will often say, “Follow me.” Then he’ll lead you through the streets of the city to the post office.
Sometimes a person doesn’t know the answer to your question. A New Yorker might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico (墨西哥), no one answers “I don’t know”. People in Yucatan think that “I don’t know” is not polite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A visitor can get very, very lost in Yucatan!
One thing will help you everywhere. You might not understand a person’s words, but maybe you can understand his body language. He or she will usually turn and then point in the correct direction. Go in that direction and you may find the post office!
1. What do you think the word “landmarks” means?
A. Street names. B Building names.
C. Hotels, markets and bus stops. D. Buildings or places which are easily seen.
2. In which place do people tell distance by telling time?
A. Japan. B. American Midwest.
C. Los Angeles, California. D. Greece.
3. In the passage,countries are written about by the writer.
A. seven B four C. five D. eight
4. Which of the following is wrong?
A. Travelers can learn about people’s customs by asking questions about directions.
B. People in some places give directions, in miles, but people in other places give directions by telling time.
C. A person’s body language can help you understand directions.
D. People in different places always give directions in the same way—they use street names.
5. The passage mainly tells us that .
A. there are not many landmarks in the American Midwest
B. we never carry a map for travel
C. there is different ways to give directions in different parts of the world
D. New Yorkers often say “I have no idea”, but people in Yucatan, Mexico, never say this.
Passage 4
Are you carrying too much on your back at school? You’re not alone. Back experts in the United States are worried that young students are having back and neck problems as a result of carrying too much in their backpacks (schoolbags).
“It hurts my back when I run,” said Oberlin Reyes, a student in Virginia. “It’s hard to get up the stairs with my backpack, because it’s too heavy.”
Oberlin is among students whose backpacks were weighed for a week in a recent study.
They had regular backpacks with two straps (带子) to carry them, but a number of students with heavy loads had switched to rolling backpacks (which have wheels and can roll on the ground. .
Shirley Park, whose backpack weighed 10 kilograms, said she changed to a rolling backpack because she was starting to have back pain.
How much is too much? Experts say students should carry no more than 10 to 15 percent of their own body weight.
A few students had one suggestion to lighten the load: less homework.
P.S. (附) Doctor’s suggestion:
①Lighten the load. Clean out binders (活页材料) and take home only the books you need that night.
②Wide straps are better. They send out the weight over your shoulders more evenly (均匀). And be sure to wear both straps rather than hanging the pack over one shoulder.
③Pack smart. The heavier things should be packed closed to the back.
④Bend both knees when you pick up the pack, and don’t just bend over at the waist (腰).

A. The problem of backpacks is worth studying

Leonardo da Vinci was born on April 15, 1452 in Italy. He is best known as an artist today. One of his famous paintings is called Mona Lisa. However, Leonardo had many other natural abilities. He was also a great inventor. Many of his inventions have become important in modern day life.
Although Leonardo hated war, he invented many different machines used for war. His most special invention was the machine gun, which was produced and used in war many years later.
By watching the way birds fly，Leonardo tried to find out the secret of flying. Among his sketches(素描)we can see several objects. We consider them as modern flying machines.
Leonardo spent many hours thinking about how to make good use of time. He developed ideas for labor-saving machines like cutting machines.
Leonardo was a strange man. He didn’t eat any meat，which was very unusual in those times. He never published (发表) his ideas and scientific discoveries. He usually used mirror writing，which looks like writing in a mirror, starting from the right side of the page and moving to the left.
We have very little of his work today. Leonardo finished only a few of his paintings. He left many unfinished because he thought they were not perfect. No one in his life time knew how great Leonardo was. We now believe，however，that he was one of the cleverest men the world has ever known.

Today anyone will accept money in exchange for goods and services. People use money to buy food, furniture, books, bicycles and hundreds of others they need or want. When they work, they usually get paid in money.
Most of the money today is made of metal or paper. But people used to use all kinds of things as money. One of the first kinds of money was shells.
Shells were not the only things used as money. In China, cloth and knives are used. In the Philippine Islands, rice was used as money. In parts of Africa, cattle were one of the earliest kinds of money. Other animals were used as money, too.
The first metal coins were made in China. They were round and had a square hole in the center. People strung them together and carried them from place to place.
Different countries have used different metals and designs for their money. The first coins in England were made of tin. Sweden and Russia used copper to make their money. Later, countries began to make coins of gold and silver.
But even gold and silver were inconvenient if you had to buy something expensive. Again the Chinese thought of a way to improve money. They began to use paper money. The first paper money looked more like a note from one person to another than paper money used today.
Money has had an interesting history from the days of shell money until today.

Passage 12
Many parts of the world still do not have university-educated doctors or hospitals. Yet diseases are often cured. How? By using ancient methods. Through they centuries, people have found many useful chemicals in plants. Scientists believe many of these medicines may provide the cure for some of today’s most serious diseases.
Experts say almost 80 percent of the people in the world use plants for health care. These natural medicines are used not because people have no other form of treatment, but because people trust them. In developed areas, few people think about the source of the medicines they buy in the store. Yet many widely-used medicines are from ancient sources especially plants. Some experts say more than 25 percent of modern medicines come, in one way or another, from nature.
Scientists have long known that nature is really a factory of chemicals which can cure diseases. However, this factory is in danger because the world’s rain forests are disappearing quickly.
Plants also provide poisons. Scientists have found 1,200 kinds of plants that have some effect against insects. Not all of these natural insect poisons are powerful and most poisons may be the only way to kill insects without poisoning humans and animals.
1. Why do modern people use natural medicines?
A. Because these medicines are safe to humans.

Passage 13
It was Sunday and Tom was staying at home. After breakfast he went out into the garden and played quietly by himself. There were no kids around and he was used to playing alone quietly. He played with Bobby, the dog. He climbed up and down the tree. Sometimes a bird would come down to perch on top of the doghouse. Then Tom would have the greatest fun by throwing a stone or something at it. Though he never made it, he did like doing this kind of thing.
Now Tom had been in the garden for half an hour. Suddenly a crack was heard and the little boy began crying.
“What’s the matter, Tom?” his mother looked through the kitchen window. Tom ran into the kitchen.
“Mum,” he sobbed,“ I broke Bobby’s plate. I didn’t know it was so fragile.” His mother put her arms round him and said, “Don’t feel so sad, Tom. We have other plates for Bobby.

Passage 14
An important question about eating out is who pays for the meal. If a friend of yours asks you to have lunch with him, you may say something like this,” I’m afraid it’ll have to be someplace cheap, as I have very little money.” The other person may say. “OK, I’ll meet you at McDonald’s.”
This means that the two agree to go Dutch, that is, each person pays for himself.
He may also say, “Oh, no. I want to take you to lunch at Smith’s,” or “I want you to try the Chinese dumplings there. They’re great.” This means the person wants to pay for both of you. If you feel friendly towards this person, you can go with him and you needn’t pay for the meal. You may just say, “Thank you. That would be very nice.”
American customs about who pays for dates are much the same as in other parts of the world. In the old days, American women wanted men to pay for all the meals. But, today, a university girl or a woman in business world will usually pay her way during the day. If a man asks her for a dance outside the working hours, it means “Come, as my guest.” So as you can see, it is a polite thing to make the question clear at the very beginning.

It’s not easy to be an astronaut’s son. Everybody expects you to be special or perfect. I often wonder how my father ever had a son like me. I mean he’s so special and so good at everything he does. Even in middle school he was class president and captain of the football team.
Well，to be honest，I often dream about being some kind of hero or doing something special—like saving a child from a burning building or discovering a new star. I was daydreaming at school one morning when my teacher said there would be a Father’s Day writing competition for the whole sch001. “I hope we have a winner right here in my class. ”
When I got home，I started to think about what to write. My father is an astronaut. N0，I wouldn’t start like that. That was the way others saw him. How did I see my father? Hmm.
I saw him sitting with me in the dark when I had a terrible dream. I remembered how he hugged me for hours when my dog Spotty was killed by a car. Yes，these were the things I was going to write. To me，he wasn’t just a world—famous astronaut. He was my dad.
My parents and l went to school Thursday night. There were so many people in the big hall! My dad looked at me，and I shrugged(耸肩).
The third prize was announced and it was not me. 1 was relieved(释然)and disappointed at the same time. The second prize was announced. It was me.
1 went up to the stage and read what I had written，“My father’s son”. When I finished，the people stood up and cheered. I saw my father blowing his nose. Tears were running down my mother’s face. Dad cleared his throat and put his hand on my shoulder. “Son，this is the proudest moment of my life. ‘‘

Passage 19
Feeling left out?
A reader wrote in to say that she was feeling lonely at break because her best friend wasn’t around. Here’s our advice to her—and to all kids who feel lonely sometimes.
It’s hard when a best friend isn’t around—maybe because she moved to a different school or a different class. You may feel lonely at break or lunchtime. You want to have new friends. But how do you make them? Maybe it seems like everybody else already has their friends. But remember, there’s always room for more friends.
Start by looking around your classroom—think about which kids you’d like to play with at break. Look for chances to say hi to them，smile，and be friendly. Offer to share something or express your appreciation(欣赏)to them. Invite someone to play with you or say “Do you want to sit here?” in the lunchroom. When you’re at break，walk over to kids you want to play with. act friendly，and say “Hi，can l play, too?” or just join in.
If you have troubles doing this or if you’re feeling shy, ask your teacher to help you make new friends. Teachers are usually pretty good at matching up friends. The best way to make friends is to be a friend. Be kind，be friendly，share，say nice things，offer to help—and pretty soon，you’ll have one，or two，or even more new friends.
You might still miss that special best friend. But when you see each other, you can share something you didn’t have before she left：You can introduce her to your new friends!

Passage 23
Who wants to carry a bulky bag to school? No children. Nobody wants one shoulder to be lower than the other, and paining（疼痛）too. In India, most of us would look at the reduction（减少）of textbooks as a way out. But in a country like America, there are always more choices. A company called go Reader has created a "school bag" which is the size of a laptop computer（笔记本电脑）, weighing about 2.5 kg. The go Reader has a color screen and can "hold" all the textbooks that a student may need, says a report in ‘The Asian Age’ newspaper.
The company plans to work closely with the publishers（出版商）of textbooks so that these books can be supplied on the Internet. All the students will have to do is to download（下载）their textbooks. Making notes and marking important parts of a lesson can be done just as lots of students have done on their textbooks before.
At present, the plan is being tested out in a university. Richard Katzmann, the owner of the company is having his creation tested at Chicago’s DePaul University, where he studied. Does that mean it is goodbye to the new paper, and the smell of the black ink?

Passage 24
Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, “Happiness depends upon ourselves.” In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier.
The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future —for example, getting into college or getting a good job —that we fail to enjoy the present. You should enjoy life’s simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives.
Another secret to living a happy life is to be active, and have hobbies where you forget your problems and time. Many people experience this dancing, or playing a sport, such as swimming. You can forget about your problems, and only think about the activity. Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes.

Don’t feel worried. It’s not your fault(过错)! Being bullied can make you feel very lonely and angry，but you are not alone. Don’t feel that you have to hide the problem. You should find a person you can trust，and tell them. It might be your teacher，your parents，or even your friend’s parents. After you tell someone，you will get some support and feel some relief(解脱).
Speaking to an adult might make you nervous，but here are other things you can do. Some people express their feelings more easily on paper. Write a letter to someone or keep a diary.

Passage 27
“When can I get a cell phone?” The answer is when your parents think you need one, though many kids seem to be getting them around age 12 or 13. Some younger kids may have them because their parents see it as a matter of safety and convenience. For example, a kid can call mom and dad when sports practice is over.

Passage 28
Every morning, the newspaper chief editor(主编) holds a meeting with the reporters. They discuss the main events(事件) of the day. Reporters are then sent to cover the events.
As soon as the reporters know what to write about, they get down to work. They telephone people and fix a time for a face-to-face interview with them. Sometimes they do telephone interviews. Checking information is very important. They go to the newspaper’s own library to look up any information that they need. This is called “doing one’s homework”.
At the same time, the picture editor decides which photographs will be used for the next day’s paper. All the people who work on a newspaper must be able to work fast. Reporters have to stop working on one story and start working at once on the important new one. They must find out the new information as quickly as possible. Later in the day, everything is put together at the news desk. Reporters return, type their stories into the computer and hand them to the editor.
The chief editor decides which will be the most important story on the front page. Sometimes this will have to be changed if something more important happens late in the day. Other editors read the stories which the reporters have written and make any necessary changes.
Finally, there is no more time left for adding new stories, and the time for printing(印刷) the newspaper has come. This is done on fast-moving printing machines. The newspapers are then delivered(发送) by truck, plane or rail. Speed is important. People want to buy the latest newspaper; nobody wants to buy yesterday’s.

It was an autumn day in America, but it was very cold. A big snow fell and we had not done anything for its coming. On that special day, Prana went outside and I watched him through the window. I noticed that he was madly digging(挖) holes and bringing the apples to the ground so they could be seen above the snow. I did not know why he was doing this. He seemed to want to do something special.
When I called him back, he had his usual one apple in his mouth. About five minutes later, I looked outside. The garden was completely covered with birds. Prana had dug up all those apples for his bird friends to eat. He knew that they wouldn’t have stored enough food for the coming winter!

Passage 31
When the weather is hot, you go to a lake or an ocean. When you are near a lake or an ocean, you feel cool. Why the sun makes the earth hot, but it can not make the water very hot.

At theatres, cinemas and concerts you can put on what you like from beautiful suits and dresses to jeans and sweaters. Anything goes, as long as you look clean and tidy.

In many ways, Americans are less formal than British people, but they are more careful with their clothes. At home, or on holiday, most Americans wear informal or sporty clothes. But when they go out in the evening, they like to look nice. In good hotels and restaurants, men have to wear jackets and ties, and women pretty clothes.

In Some parts of the United States, farming is easy. But farming has always been difficult in the northeastern corner of the country, which is called New England.
New England has many trees and thin, rocky soil. Anyone who has wanted to start a new farm has had to work very hard. The first job has been cutting down trees. The next job has been digging the stumps(树桩) of the trees out of the soil. Then the farmer has had the difficult job of removing stones from his land.
This work of removing stones never really ends, because every winter more stones appear. They come up through the thin soil from the rocks below. Farmers have to keep removing stones from the fields. Even today, farms which have been worked on for 200 years keep producing more stones.

He had wished a dozen times that he were in his warm old hunter’s clothes which he had often worn in the worst of weather in the Northwest.

Passage 47
Dolphins(海豚) produce a great variety of noises and we wonder whether these sounds form a language. So far, we have identified some 20 different sounds dolphins make. Some seem to keep a group together as they are traveling at speed. Some appear to be warning cries and some call-signs so that animals can recognize each other at a distance.
But no one yet has shown that dolphin put these sounds together to form the two-word sentence that can be regarded as the beginning of true language. Chimpanzees(黑猩猩)can do so.
The great whales also have voices. Humpbacks(座头鲸) gather every spring in Hawaii to give birth. Some of them sing. They repeat their songs over and over again. A complete song usually lasts for about ten minutes, but some continue for half an hour, and some even for 24 hours.
These whales stay in Hawaiian waters for several months, mating(交配) and singing. Sometimes they lie on the surface. Sometimes they leap out of the surface. Later, they appear in the waters off Alaska.

A. whales and dolphins are not able to develop the two-word sentence

Passage 50
Strange things happen to time when you travel. Because the earth is divided into twenty-four zones one hour apart. You can have days with more or fewer than twenty-four hours, and weeks more or fewer than seven days.
