D

        I was in the lift in a market. There was an old man and about five or six people in front of me. People behind him were all in a hurry and saw him as a rock. The old man knew this clearly and tried hard to step aside.

       I remember sometimes when walking or driving behind an older person ? I was impatient and upset.

      “ I ’ m sorry. Please forgive me! ” said the old man. “ I don ’ t mean to hold you up. ” He then tried his best to get out of the lift.

       I suddenly saw this in a whole new light. I felt sick to my stomach. The old man was apologizing to everyone ? when we should have helped him to calm his fears.

       One by one,people went around him quickly. By the time I got to him,I asked, “Sir,can I help you?”

       The man thought for a while,and then said ,“ Well,yes,thank you! ”

       I placed my hand under his left arm and walked away from the rush of people quickly.

       “So what are you shopping for,sir?”

       “ Oh ? today is Mother ’ s Day. I want to buy something for my neighbour. She ’ s a single mother and she is always so nice to me”’ he said,stopping suddenly as he looked for his pocket.

       “Oh,they are here!I always carry them with me,” he said. Then he took out some business cards and handed me one which read:

       “John Smith,friend to all. . . enemy to no one!I said a prayer today and you were the answer. Thank you! ”

       “That's for you ,” he said. “Thanks for stopping to help an old man. ” “My friend,you helped me. I found why I was unhappy with the world. Now I know how to solve the problem. No more with me! ”

(    )1. Why did the old man try hard to step aside?

   A. Because he was in a hurry.

   B. Because he didn ’ t want to be in other people ’ s way.

   C. Because the lift was very crowded.

                                                 C 

      Our environment is getting worse and worse with the increase of the world population,which affects the environment in two ways. Firstly,the limited energy resources will be used up much faster. Secondly,the increasing population creates more pollution,another severe problem that needs to be solved. Both problems are long-term ones because actions taken now show their result slowly over many years. They are also urgent because delays in action can lead to great suffering and social problems. The question seems to be difficult to handle for most people. However ? a person can be a protector of environment in everyday life if he takes actions to save the environment right now. With the development of technology,cars make transportation easier and quicker than before ? but we can ’t ignore the disadvantages brought to us by more and more cars in use. For example,we are consuming gasoline,which is a non-renewable resource,and will soon be gone. Moreover,the exhausted gas from cars pollutes our air,and our health is therefore threatened by air pollution,which has a big potential effect on our daily life. So we can consider walking,taking buses,carpooling (合用汽車) ,instead of driving cars alone. This seems to be a very slow process that can ’ t be so effective if a single person takes it. But,when more and more people become aware of the importance and positively take it as their personal responsibilities ? the condition of the air will be improved to a great extent.

() l. According to the writer,the main problem to our environment today is .

   A. the increase of population   B. the limited energy resources

   C. the more serious air pollution   D. the development of technology

() 2. From the passage,we can know that .

   A. effective measures can be taken mainly by the government

   B. taking measures now can soon improve the environment

   C. immediate measures can cause great suffering and social problems

   D. every single person’s action has some effect on environmental protection

() 3. The author,s main purpose in writing this passage is most probably to .

   A. complain about people’s slow actions to protect the environment

   B. advise people to take actions to protect the environment

   C. show himself to be an active environmental protector

   D. point out the bad effects of technologies in protecting the environment

() 4. Because of the serious pollution,people can consider .

   A. walking   B. taking buses

   C. carpooling   D. all of the above

() 5. The passage is mainly about .

   A. energy resources saving   B. environmental protection

We also have some interest groups in school ? such as drawing ? singing and dancing. We can go to the English corner on Monday afternoon.

      In America,where labour (勞工) costs are so high,DIY is a way of life. Many people repair their own cars,build their own garages,and even rebuild their own houses. Soon many of them will also be writing their own books.

      In Hollywood there is a company that publishes (出版) children ’s books with the help of computers. Other book companies also publish that way,but this company is not like the others. This is a wonderful book that you and your children can make. In this book ? your children can write ( or have you write) and draw all about their family ? friends ? and favourite things. It allows (允許) the reader to become the main character in the stories with the help of computers. Here is how they do it. Let us suppose the child is named Jenny. She lives in New York,and has a dog named Howdy. The computer uses the information to make up a story with pictures. The story is then printed (印刷) up. A child who receives such a book might say ,“This book is about me,” so the company calls itself the “Picture-Me-Books Publishing Company”.

      Children like the picture-me-books because they like to see in print their own names,their pictures and the names of their friends and their pets. But more important,in this way,readers are much more interested in reading the stories. Picture-Me-Books are helping a child to learn how to read.

DIY is l. these days because their pay for labour is becoming higher and higher. And the 2. calls itself “ Picture-Me-Books Publishing Company”. ,

What ’ s the difference between “ Picture-Me-Books Publishing Company” and other book companies?

Picture-Me-Books Publishing Company allows their readers to play the main 3. in the books.

Why do the children like Picture-Me-Books Publishing Company” ?

Because they may see the 4. of their own,their friends and their pets.

What does this passage tell us?
