   Many people are so busy these days that they have no time to cook at home. This becomes a problem because most families love home cooking! The food tastes good and a family meal can bring everyone together. In some families, meals are often the only chance everyone gets to see each other at the same time during the day.
Another reason people enjoy home cooking is that it is a way of showing love. A parent who makes some cookies is not just satisfying a child’s sweet tooth. He or she is sending a message (信息). The message says, “I care about you enough to spend an hour making cookies that you will eat up in 15 minutes if I let you.” There is also something about the smell of home cooking. The smell of cooking makes people happy. It makes most of us feel good and loved--even if we’re the ones doing the cooking! Next time you smell a cake making, stop for a moment and pay attention to your mood (心情，心境).
小題1:Why do many people have no time to cook?

Why play games? Because they are fun, and a lot more besides. Following the rules, planning your next move, acting as a team member------these are all “game” ideas that you will have throughout your life.
Think about some of the games you played as a young child, such as rope-jumping and hide-and-seek. Some games are entertaining and fun. But perhaps more importantly, they translate life into exciting dreams that teach children some of the basic rules they will be expected to follow the rest of their lives, such as taking turns and teamwork.
Many children’s games have a practical side. Children around the world play games that prepare them for work they will do as adults. For example, some Saudi Arabian children play a game called bones. It can be very helpful to exercise their hands and eyes, which is needed in hunting.
Many sports encourage national or local pride. The most famous games of all, the Olympic Games, bring athletes from around the world together to take part in the friendly competition. People who watch the event wave flags, knowing that a gold medal is a win for a whole country, not just the athlete who has got it. For countries experiencing natural disasters or war, an Olympic win can mean so much.
Sports are also an event that brings people together. Soccer is the most popular sport in the world. People on all continents play it------some for fun and some for a living. Nicolette Iribarne, a Californian soccer player, has discovered a way to spread hope through soccer. He set up an organization which can provide poor children with not only soccer balls but also a hopeful future.
Next time, when you play your favorite game or sport, think about why you enjoy it, what skills are needed, and whether these skills will help you in your life.
小題1:The underlined part “translate life into exciting dreams” in Paragraph 2 most probably
means that games can ________.

D．teach children something useful and important
小題2:What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to?

Usually, when your teacher asks a question, there is only one correct answer. But there is one question that has millions of current answers. That question is "What's your name?" Everyone gives a different answer, but everyone is correct.
Have you ever wondered about people's names? Where do they come from? What do they
mean?
People's first names, or given names, are chosen by their parents. Sometimes the name of a grandparent or other member of the family is used. Some parents choose the name of a well-known person. A boy could be named George Washington Smith; a girl could be named Helen Keller Jones.
Some people give their children names that mean good things. Clara means "bright"; Beatrice means "one who gives happiness"; Donald means "world ruler"; Leonard means "as brave as a lion".
The earliest last names, or surnames, were taken from place names. A family with the name Brook or Brooks probably lived near brook (С?); someone who was called Longstreet probably lived on a long, paved road. The Greenwood family lived in or near a leafy forest.
Other early surnames came from people's occupations. The most common occupational name is Smith, which means a person who makes things with iron or other metals. In the past, smiths were very important workers in every town and village. Some other occupational names are: Carter - a person who owned or drove a cart（手推車）； Potter -a person who made pots and pans.
The ancestors (祖先) of the Baker family probably baked bread for their neighbors in their native village. The Carpenter's great-great-great-grandfather probably built houses and furniture.
Sometimes people were known for the color of their hair or skin, or their size, or their special abilities. When there were two men who were named John in the same village, the John with the gray hair probably became John Gray. Or the John was very tall could call himself John
Tallman. John Fish was probably an excellent swimmer and John Lightfoot was probably a fast
runner or a good dancer.
Some family names were made by adding something to the father's name. English-speaking people added -s or -son. The Johnsons are descendants of John; the Roberts family's ancestor was Robert. Irish and Scottish people added Mac or Mc or O. Perhaps all of the MacDonnells and the McDonnells and the O'Donnells are descendants of the same Donnell.
小題1:Which of the following aspects（方面）do the surnames in the passage NOT cover?
A．Places where people lived.
B．People's characters.
C．Talents that people had.
D．People's occupations.
小題2: According to the passage, the ancestors of the Potter family most probably _______.
A．owned or drove a cart
B．made things with metals
C．made kitchen tools or contains
D．built houses and furniture
小題3:If an English couple whose ancestors lived near a leafy forest wanted their new-born son to become a world leader, the baby might be named _______.
A．Beatrice Smith
B．Leonard Carter
C．George Longstreet
D．Donald Greenwood
小題4: The underlined word "descendants" in the last paragraph means a person's _______.
A．后代B．朋友C．同事D．同伴

It was reported today that in China, 56% of people who write blogs(博客) do so as a personal diary and 83% use their blogs for sending messages to friends. It was also found that there is a strong East- West difference. In places like the US, blogs that offer information on news attract more readers but in China, blogs are more likely to be about sharing personal feelings.
It seems that bloggers can be divided into three types: IT bloggers, bloggers who record their ordinary feelings and media（媒體） bloggers.
When blogging first started, the IT people had the technological advantage and they took the chance to put their thoughts on the web. Some of these IT people now have had over a million people read their blogs.
The next wave of bloggers did not have any training as writers or in IT and wrote about normal daily life. Media bloggers, however, are trained writers, such as journalists and editors. When the many media bloggers showed up, the everyday bloggers lost most of their readers. Media bloggers have the advantage of knowing how to communicate well through the written words.
However, the normal bloggers are still out there and increasing in number. It seems that blogging is the new way to express your feelings. People feel like the world is listening to, or rather reading, their problems, even if they are not.
小題1: From the passage we know that________.
A．56% of the Chinese write blogs
B．people in US like to read blogs for news
C．the Chinese never share feelings with each other through blogs
D．the way that Chinese use blogs is not different from the West
小題2: ________wrote more blogs at the very beginning .
A．IT bloggersB．Media bloggers
C．Normal bloggersD．US bloggers
小題3:Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A．There will be more and more normal bloggers.
B．Only bloggers express their feelings through the Internet.
C．All people in the world are listening to the bloggers’ voice.
D．Media bloggers didn’t have the advantage of knowing how to communicate well.

A．increased.B．a(chǎn)ppeared .
C．a(chǎn)rrived.D．grew.

World War II lasted from 1939 to 1945. Life changed for everybody, including women and children because of the war. Millions of people lost their lives during the war. The Diary of a Young Girl was a record of that time. The book was written by a girl named Anne Frank.

A change to its population policy(人口政策）for the world's most populated country(人口最多的國家), that is where we start this new week on CNN (美國有線新聞網(wǎng)絡(luò)，以提供即時電視新聞報導(dǎo)而聞名)STUDENT NEWS.
China introduced(提出） its so-called one-child policy(獨生子女政策） in the late 1970s. It's been believed to help control China's population growth(控制人口增長). It's also been against for forcing(強迫) parents to make difficult personal choices(選擇）, or in some cases（某些情況） face huge fines（面臨巨額罰款).
The policy said that in big cities or towns, parents could only have one child, although（盡管) there were some exceptions(例外), for example, the famous director Zhang Yimou, who was ordered to pay the heavy fines for his three children.
The new rule(法規(guī)) says that if either parent(父母親一方) is an only child, then they are able to have two children of their own.
One reason for the change is economics(經(jīng)濟).
In China, many people care for their elderly relatives, so a single(單個的) child could not afford (能做)to look after his parents and grandparents. This new policy could help with that.
Another reason, China says it wants to improve human rights(改善人權(quán)).
小題1:Which may be the best title of the article?___________.
A．The one-child policyB．The population policy
C．The human rightsD．China's population growth
小題2:Where can you get this news _______.
A．on TVB．from your booksC．from a magazineD．in the newspaper
小題3:Which of the following is not true?
A．China is the world's most populated country.
B．The one-child policy did help control China's population growth.
C．All the families in big cities only have one child.
D．There is a change to China’s population policy.
小題4:We can infer(推斷）from the article that the next paragraph（段落) is about ___________.
A．the population growthB．the population policy
C．the economic changeD．the human rights
