Before you hit ‘Enter’ on MSN, read this
It is often said that the language we use online is less formal than that we use in a letter, or in direct speech sometimes. This is true, but it can also make us in trouble sometimes.
The thing about online communication is that you have no idea what the person who is reading your messages is feeling. For this reason, it is always a good idea to be polite and cautious when writing e-mails or messages to your friends.
Chinese can be a direct language, but in English, people often talk about a subject in another way. So instead of saying “Please meet me here” or “Do this for me now”, English speakers usually go for indirect phrases like “Would it be possible”, “if you have time” or “It would mean a lot to me if…”
If you have a close friend, you may still run into trouble because of your jokes. If you have asked someone to do something and they need a bit more time, you might joke with him: “What? You still haven’t done it yet? What’s wrong with you?” While this seems funny to you, your friend may feel unhappy.
If you have foreign friends in different countries, the time difference can also be a factor. While you are waking up for class on Friday morning, they may be having a party on Friday night. You will be serious and they will, probably, be excited. So don’t be angry if they seem not to care about you. Just try to message them at the proper time.
小題1: According to the passage, we learn that our letters are more ______ than the e-mails.
A．formal B．direct
C．differentD．funny
小題2: As a language, Chinese is ______, but English is not.
A．politeB．rude
C．directD．formal
小題3: Why should we be polite and cautious while chatting online?
A．Because we mustn’t play jokes online.
B．Because our friends are easy to be angry.
C．Because it can help us avoid lots of troubles.
D．Because we can’t see our friends online.
小題4: According to the passage, which of the following is right?
A．It is OK to connect your friend by MSN anytime.
B．Using the proper way to chat online is necessary.
C．Don’t ask your friend to do something for you by MSN.
D．Never play jokes with your friends.

小題1:A
小題2:C
小題3:C
小題4:B

小題1:．細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中“It is often said that the language we use online is less formal than that we use in a letter, or in direct speech sometimes.”可知書信用語比電子郵件用語要正式，故選A。
小題2:．細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中“Chinese can be a direct language, but in English, people often talk about a subject in another way.”可知漢語是一種直接的語言，故選C。
小題3:．細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段 “This is true, but it can also make us in trouble sometimes.”和第二段 “The thing about online communication is that you have no idea what the person who is reading your messages is feeling. For this reason, it is always a good idea to be polite and cautious when writing e-mails or messages to your friends”可知網(wǎng)上聊天你不知多方的感覺，在這種情況下有禮貌的和對方交談，會免去一些麻煩。故選C。
小題4:．全文理解題。通過全文可知，在網(wǎng)上交談，你不了解對方當(dāng)時的情況，因此不要亂開玩笑，一定要用合適的方式和對方交談。故選B。

B.
Love is a two - way street
A father sat at his desk and looked at his bills when his young son rushed in and announced: "Dad, because today is your birthday and you're 40 years old, I'm going to give you 40 kisses, one for each year!" When the boy started making good on his word (履行諾言 ) , the father shouted:  "Andrew, don’t do it now. I'm too busy! "
The boy soon fell silent as tears fell from his big blue eyes. Feeling sorry, the father said: "You can finish later.  The boy said nothing but quietly walked away." That evening the father said:  "Come and finish the kisses now,  Andrew!" But the boy didn’t.
Unfortunately, a few days later after the father's birthday, the boy had an accident and died.  His sad father wrote: "If only(要是...,該多好)i could tell him how sorry I am for my thoughtless words,  and how much my heart is hurting."
Love is a two-way street.  We must warmly accept any loving act,  or others will take it as a "NO" and it can leave a scar(傷痕). If we don't receive love, our life will lose its true meaning.  Nothing is more important than accepting love from those who are near and dear to us .

“Why does the chicken cross the road? To get to the other side!”
That’s an old joke in the west, but it came to my mind again when I saw people crossing the road at the intersection of Shaanxi Road and Huaihai Road in Shanghai.
When the traffic light was red, a group of people were waiting for the light to change. Suddenly one man began rushing to the other side of the road. Soon others followed him at the crossing and more people did the same. Just like chickens, they didn’t mind the honking horns(喇叭聲) and kept crossing the road in a mess.
Every year several thousand people are either killed or hurt on the roads in Shanghai. And at least one third of them were jaywalking(亂穿馬路). Jaywalking is very common in Shanghai. It seems that jaywalkers are not afraid of the danger to themselves.
Traffic laws are to keep people safe. So we should obey them, and have good road-crossing habits. When someone starts to jaywalk, we should stop him, and never follow him. That way we can avoid the traffic accidents.
小題1:The underlined word “intersection” here probably means “       ”.
A．roadB．bridge
C．crossingD．traffic
小題2:The writer saw people      in Shanghai that day.
A．crossing the road in a mess
B．waiting for the green light patiently
C．crossing the road with chickens
D．hurting each other in the street
小題3:How does the writer like what he saw in Shanghai that day?
A．He thinks it’s OK.
B．He thinks it’s wrong.
C．He has no idea of it.
D．He doesn’t mention it

What’s the most important thing in your life? Do you think about this question?
I began to think about it when I was just a little girl. I had a lot of friends and I loved playing with them. So I thought friendship(友誼) was the most important thing in life. If I had no friends, I would be very sad.
When I got older, I thought the most important thing was music. I was crazy about music at that time. To me, if I couldn’t sing or listen to music, my life would be boring.
When I was 12, I read a book that tells a beautiful story about the love between a mother and her child. I was happy to find that love was the most important thing. I thought love made my life beautiful.
Not long ago, I got a new answer to the question from another book. “Happiness is the destination(目標(biāo)) for everyone.” the writer said.
Soon I began to understand friendship, music, love and happiness are all very important to us. These important things make our lives colourful and beautiful.
What’s the most important thing in life now? I still don’t have the answer. However, I don’t want to know. I just want to care about everything important in my life.

Do you think that living a hungry life is last century’s story? Well, it may be this century’s headline.
The world has growing worries about a global food shortage. Right now, there are still 870 million hungry people in the world, according to a survey of the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization. Children can’t escape this, either. Around fifteen million children die of hungry each year.
What’s causing food shortages? There are several reasons.
There are now more droughts and floods. This is very harmful to farmers and their ability to grow food.
Besides, with the growing population, feeding everyone becomes more difficult. There are a little more than seven billion people in the world. By 2050, the world population will be more than nine billion.
Another reason is food waste. The average person throws away 50kg of food every year.
How can we help with food shortages? The easiest way is to cut down on food waste.
Next time before throwing away the food on your plate, just think how much work has been done to make it. By buying less, we waste less. This takes the pressure off producing so much food. And it helps to solve the problem of food shortage.
You can also ask your schoolmates to join you.
In 2013, researchers at Kansas State University in the US put up short anti-waste slogans(標(biāo)語) in dining rooms “Think Before You Waste”. Guess what happened? Students wasted fifteen percent less food after that!
The author of the study said, “You don’t need a huge activity to make a difference.”
Reasons of food shortage
小題1:_________________________________
The growing population.
小題2:___________________________________
Ways of 小題3:___________
小題4:___________________________________
Ask the other students to join in your anti-waste work.
Your understanding of the last sentence.
