During the week days,  they are luckily busy office people; but on weekends, they are just a brood of（一窩）stay-home animals. A recent survey shows that office workers in China prefer quiet and easy ways to spend their weekends.
In the survey, conducted by job seeking and offering website Zhaopin.com, 32.8 percent of the 6,000 respondents choose to stay home at weekends and have a good rest, the Beijing Morning Post reported.
Twenty percent use their days-off to do housework. And only 19.3 percent are willing to have fun during the break time from work. Their first choice of fun is shopping.
Other choices, though practiced by few, include meeting friends, accompanying the children, trips to the suburbs, and lessons for more skills.
When they. go shopping, 54.5 percent of the white-collars actually shop in supermarkets, while 27.9. percent attend other stores, especially when discounts are offered.
These activities don't seem to cost much, as 60 percent spend average less than 200 yuan (US$26) during weekends, and 30 percent no more than 500 yuan.
When asked whom they would spend the weekends with, about 40 percent mention their partners, and 30 percent prefer a weekend all by themselves. Less than 20 percent hang out with friends.
Only 5.8 percent would kill the time with their colleagues. This is because we tend to avoid too many personal contacts with our co-workers when we don't have to work with them, according to some experts.
小題1: How many of the office workers who are the respondents do the housework at weekends?
A．1,968.B．1,158.C．1,200.D．1,674.
小題2:Why will less than ten percent of office workers kill the time with their colleagues at weekends?
A．Because they can't spare time to play with them.
B．Because they tend to avoid too many personal contacts with hem when they don't have to.
C．Because. they have many things to deal with at weekends.
D．Because some experts suggest they should not keep in touch with their colleagues.
小題3:Which of the following is TRUE according to the survey?
A．There is the same percentage about people preferring a weekend all by themselves and people spending no more than 500 yuan during weekends.
B．Most office workers can’t afford things in supermarkets, so they prefer to attend other stores, especially when discounts are offered.
C．More than one fifth of office workers like to hang out with friends.
D．All the office workers prefer to relax themselves and no one is willing to learn more skills.
小題4: What is the best title of the passage?
A．How to spend the weekends
B．Several ways of spending their weekends for office people
C．How to go shopping on the weekends for office people
D．Office people prefer easy weekends

We use the Internet for many things: business, shopping, writing letters, talking to people, finding information and so on. In recent years, a new kind of English has grown on the Internet. There’s no real word for it yet, so we’ll call it e-talk. People don’t like typing too much. To save time, they turn phrases into a few letters (called acronyms). Acronyms are often used in chat rooms(聊天室). Some of them are:
BTW(by the way);  BRB(be right back);  LOL(laughing out loud);  IMO(in my opinion)
People also use many abbreviations. They are shortened forms of words. Some common abbreviations are:
info(information);   puter(computer);    pic(picture);     sec(second)
We ususally don’t see people when we communicate on the Internet, so people have new ways to show feelings. Most people use their keyboards to draw “feelings”, such as:
:-) (happy);     ;-)(joking);        :-((sad);       :-O(surprised)
These days, many forums(論壇)have picture feelings. For example:
           
(happy)              (sad)               (angry)               (cool)
There are even whole new words, like ”newbie’s” (someone who is new on a chat board or forum). When you write something bad about someone else, it’s called “flaming” the person.
It takes time for people to get used to e-talk. Also, different groups on the Net have their own special ways of communicating. Newbie’s sometimes have to ask other people what they mean. As the Internet grows, e-talk will continue to grow and change.
小題1:Why do people type acronyms?
A．To show their feelings.B．To make jokes.
C．To save time.D．In this way newbie’s won’t understand them.
小題2:What does “BTW, my computer is not working well, :-( ”mean?
A．The person is happy about getting a new computer.
B．The person has to go away from his/her computer.
C．The person is angry at somebody.
D．The person is sad that his computer is having problems.
小題3: If someone is angry, what may he type?
A．B．BRBC．LOLD．
小題4:E-talk will probably_______.
A．keep changingB．stay the same
C．be used by people on the telephoneD．be easy for newbie’s to understand.

What is Math Anxiety?
Math anxiety or fear of math is actually quite common. Math anxiety is quite   36 to stage-fright. Why does someone suffer   37 ? Fear of something going wrong in front of a crowd? Fear of   38 the lines? Fear of being judged   39 ? Fear of going completely blank? Math anxiety conjures(使現(xiàn)出) up fear of some type. The fear that one won’t be able to do the   40 or the fear that it’s too hard or the fear of failure which often stems(起因于) from having a lack of  41 . For the most part, math anxiety is the   42 about doing the math right, our minds draw a   43 and we think we’ll fail and of course the more frustrated and anxious our minds become, the  44 the chance for drawing blanks. Added pressure of having time limits on math tests and exams also cause the levels of anxiety to grow for many students.
Where Does Math Anxiety Come From?
Usually math anxiety stems(起源于) from   45 experiences in mathematics. Typically math phobias(恐慌癥) have had math presented in such a fashion that it led to limited understanding. Unfortunately, math anxiety is often   46  poor teaching and poor experiences in math which typically leads to math  47 . Many of the students I’ve encountered with math anxiety have demonstrated an over reliance on procedures in math as opposed to actually understanding the math. When one tries to memorize procedures, rules and routines without much   48 , the math is quickly forgotten and   49 soon sets in. Think about your experiences with one concept — the division of fractions(分數(shù)). You probably learned about reciprocals(倒數(shù)) and inverses. In other words, ‘It’s not yours to reason why, just invert(反轉(zhuǎn)) and multiply(乘)’. Well, you memorized the rule and it   50  . Why does it work? Do you really understand why it works? Did anyone ever use pizzas or math manipulative(巧妙處理的) to show you why it works? If   51  , you simply memorized the procedure and that was that. Think of math as memorizing all the procedures —   52 if you forget a few? Therefore, with this type of strategy, a good  53 will help, but, what if you don’t have a good memory. Understanding the math is critical. Once students   54 they can do the math, the whole notion of math anxiety can be overcome. Teachers and parents have an important   55 to ensure students understand the math being presented to them.

Electric ears are dirty.In fact, not only are they dirty, they might even be more dirty than their gasoline-powered cousins.
People in California love to talk about "zero-emissions vehicles", but people in California seem to be clueless about where electricity comes from. Power plants mostly use fire to make it. Aside from the new folks who have their roofs covered with solar cells, we get our electricity from generators. Generators are fueled by something---usually coal, oil,but also by heat generated in nuclear power plants. There are a few wind farms and geothermal plants as well, but by far we get electricity mainly by burning something.
In other words, those "zero-emissions" cars are likely coal-burning cars. It's just because the coal is burned somewhere else that it looks clean. It is not. It's as if the California Greens are. covering their eyes---"If I can't see it, it's not happening." Gasoline is an incredibly efficient way to power a vehicle; a gallon of gas has a lot of energy in it.But when you take that gas (or another fuel) and first use it to make electricity, you waste a nice part of that energy, mostly in the form of wasted heat---at the generator, through the transmission lines, etc.
A gallon of gas may propel your car 25 miles. But the electricity you get from that gallon of gas won't get you nearly as far---so electric cars bum more fuel than gas-powered ones. If our electricity came mostly from nukes; or geothermal,or hydro, or solar, or wind,then an electric car truly would be clean. But for political, technical,and economic reasons,we don't use much of those energy sources.
In addition,electric cars' batteries which are poisonous for a long time will eventually end up in a landfill.And finally, When cars are the polluters, the pollution is spread across all the roads. When it's a power plant, though, all the junk is in one place. Nature is very good at cleaning up when things are too concentrated, but it takes a lot longer when all the garbage is in one spot.
小題1: What does "clueless" mean in paragraph 2?
A．People are seeing the California Greens everywhere.
B．People in California love to talk about zero-emissions vehicles.
C．People in California love to have their roofs covered with solar cells.
D．People there have no idea that so far electricity mainly comes from burning
coal, oil,etc.
小題2: What is the main idea of the passage?
A．Electric cars are not clean at all
B．Electric cars are better than gasoline-powered ones.
C．People cast doubts on electric cars' batteries.
D．Gasoline is an efficient way to powera vehicle.
小題3: The electricity we get from a gallon of gas may make our ear run         
A．not less than 25 milesB．more than 25 miles
C．no more than 25 milesD．not more than 25 miles
小題4: According to the passage, electric cars                 .
A．do not burn fuel and more environmentally-friendly
B．a(chǎn)re toxic because it is difficult for nature to clean it up when their
batteries are buried in one spot.
C．a(chǎn)re very good at cleaning up when things are not too concentrated
D．a(chǎn)re poisonous for a long time and will eventually end up in a landfill
小題5: It can be inferred from the passage that                 
A．being green is good and should be encouraged in communication
B．electric cars are not clean in that we get electricity mainly by burning
something
C．zero-emissions vehicles should be chosen to protect our environment
D．electric cars are now the dominant vehicle compared with gasoline-powered

This is a dangerous world we live in. The number of murders goes up every year, people are dying of cancer, more people contract HIV, more teens are using drugs, ect. You know this because you’ve heard all the statistics on the news and in the paper. But do you really have an accurate idea what they mean? The numbers are going up, but how do they compare to the growth in population? Are more cases of these diseases being reported because of better testing techniques, or are the diseases more common? The fact is that without knowing the background statistics mean very little.
This growing trend of reporting only part of the information is becoming dangerous. For example, several years ago a high school student reported the dangers of the chemical known as dihydrogen monoxide. This chemical, found in most cancerous tumors, is often found in the blood of people drunk on alcohol, and causes complete physical and mental dependence for those who take the chemical even once. After reading his report, more than 75% of his Advanced Placement Chemistry class voted to forbid this dangerous chemical! Every one of the above statement is true, yet this chemical is necessary to all life on earth. The students made a mistake because they voted knowing only a few statements and statistics, rather than the chemical’s full background.
The point of this article is that one should be aware of what is and is not being said. When one finds a new fact or number, one should try to consider other important information before forming an opinion with only half-truths. Always remember that the author is trying to convince you of his or her own view, and will leave our information that is different from his view. For example, look again at the statistics that suggest skiing is safe. Only 32 people die each year when skiing, while 897 die from lightening strikes, but which is really more dangerous? If you think more about it, you will realize far fewer people go skiing each year than the number of people in danger of a lightning strike. When you think about it again, skiing is more dangerous than you might at first think when looking at the statistics. If we teenagers are to be left in this world, we had better be able to think critically, and form our own views, rather than be easily persuaded by another’s. To be warned is just to be prepared.
小題1:What’s the author’s attitude towards the growing trend of reporting only part of the      
information?
Disapproving   B. Positive       C. Indifferent     D. Dangerous
小題2:In the first paragraph, what does the writer suggest?
A．We are now living in a dangerous world.
B．We get a lot of false statistics from the media.
C．There are around us more and more murders diseases, ect.
D．Statistics alone without full background don’t give us an accurate picture of things.
小題3:What’s the purpose of the writer’s using the two examples in the second paragraph?
A．To argue that high school students are easily persuaded.
B．To prove what is necessary to us might be dangerous.
C．To show the danger of reporting only part of the information.
D．To warn us of the harmful substance around us.
小題4:Relative information is often left out because ___________________. 
A．it is not important
B．the author is trying to show what he or she says is true
C．readers will consider other important information
D．readers are able to form an opinion with half-truths
小題5:What can we learn from the passage?
A．Some measures must be taken to protect our dangerous world.
B．The growing trend of reporting only half-truths is getting out of control.
C．Teenagers ought to improve their ability of telling right from wrong.
D．We should learn to think critically and look at problems from all sides.

Today, when there are many top graduates looking for top jobs, graduates can differentiate(區(qū)別) themselves by obtaining a double major or even a double degree. Increasingly, employers are looking for individuals who are not only competent and intelligent, but who have different skill sets and who are knowledgeable in many areas. Part of the appeal to employers is that your extra work demonstrates a willingness to take on difficult tasks. Additionally, if your majors overlap (重疊), you are able to show potential employers that you have both breadth  and depth of knowledge.
By studying for a double major, although you will be studying for only one degree, you will be focusing on two related and integrated subjects that complement (補充) each other. Classes overlap between the majors, meaning fewer classes are required than with a double degree, so it is easier to finish within four years.
In contrast, with the more rigorous (嚴格的) double degree, you will be studying for two different degrees in two completely different areas of study. Although pursuing such a course of study allows students to complete two wholly separate degrees in less time than if they were to earn them separately, many strong students still find it incredibly difficult to complete in four or five years.
If you are committed to a double major/degree, it is wise to do a little bit of planning. Some students try to find two courses of studies that are related, while others seek to round out their academic studies by choosing two completely unrelated fields.
For double majors, common pairings include: (i) economics and a foreign language; (ii) political science or government and journalism; (iii) economics and psychology.
For double degrees, common pairings include: (i) engineering and a business program such as finance or accounting; (ii) engineering and economics.
小題1:What do employers think of the graduates with different skill sets and knowledge in many areas?
A．They should be given top jobs.
B．They are willing to take difficult tasks.
C．They are better than those who are competent and intelligent.
D．They must have attained a double major or even a double degree.
小題2:According to the passage, the underlined word “breadth” most probably means_________.
A．widthB．a(chǎn)mountC．quantityD．quality
小題3:To obtain a double major, you _________.
A．should complete two wholly separate degrees
B．need to focus on two related and integrated subjects
C．need to spend more time than obtaining a double degree
D．have to take courses in two completely different areas of study
小題4:If you are devoted to a double major or degree, you should _________.
A．find two subjects with overlapping classes
B．learn about what your potential employers want
C．decide what to learn with your intentions considered
D．try to decide on some common pairings as soon as possible
小題5:Which statement is CORRECT according to the passage?
A. Economics is a major while engineering is a degree.
B. Every college student should take a double major or degree.
C. Earning a double degree is more difficult than obtaining a double major.
D Some students choose two completely unrelated fields to show their ability in academic study.

Even before they start school, many young girls worry that they are fat. But a new study suggests watching a movie starring a stereotypically(模式化地)thin and beautiful princess may not increase children’s anxieties.
Nearly half of the 3 to 6 year old girls in a study by Professor Stacey Tantleff-Dunn and doctoral student Sharon Hayes said they worry about being fat. About one-third would change a physical feature, such as their weight or hair color.
The number of girls worried about being fat at such a young age concerns Tantleff-Dunn because of the potential effects later in life. Studies have shown young girls worried about their body image are more likely to suffer from eating disorders when they are older.
The encouraging news for parents is that taking their young daughters to see the new Disney film “The Princess and the Frog” isn’t likely to influence how they see their bodies.
“The media have a great effect on how young girls see their bodies. That’s why it’s important for parents to use movies such as ‘The Princess and the Frog,’ to start conversations with their children about weight, skin color and their views of beauty. They can explain that princesses’ tiny waists are not realistic for girls and that children don’t need Cinderella’s golden hair or Snow White’s porcelain(瓷制的) skin to look good,” Tantleff-Dunn said.
“We need to help our children challenge the images of beauty, particularly thinness, that they see and idolize, and encourage them to question how much appearance should be part of their self-worth,” said Tantleff-Dunn. “We should help them build a positive self-image with an appreciation for many different types of body features.” And as their children’s most important role models, parents also should avoid criticizing their own bodies.
小題1: Tantleff-Dunn worries that young girls caring too much about their appearance may          .
A．have diet trouble in the future
B．cause trouble when they are older
C．have mental problems later in life
D．have difficulty in communication
小題2: What is especially considered as beauty by girls according to the passage?
A．Having black hair.B．Having a slim body.
C．Having golden skin.D．Having big bright eyes.
小題3:Parents can help kids build a positive self-image by      .
A．encouraging kids to act as role models
B．preventing kids seeing beautiful models
C．telling kids the importance of appearance
D．a(chǎn)voiding complaining of their own bodies
小題4: The writer writes the passage mainly to          
A．explain the meaning of beauty
B．introduce a new research finding
C．stress the influence of media on girls
D．teach girls how to become a princess

Moral science is taught as a subject in most schools but with little effect. Perhaps part of the problem lies in the fact that morality is not a science, strictly speaking. It is too much of a social phenomenon, and also has too much of the personal and subjective things mixed within. Besides, morality itself changes with generations, so it is impossible to be printed in a normal textbook.
I remember sitting through forty minutes of moral lessons, which told stories about little children who never told lies and were rewarded for their goodness. It had little effect and left no impression on me, though.
If moral science has to be taught as a subject in schools, it needs a participatory approach. When you tell a child about moral, you also have to deal with social norms( 社會規(guī)范) and cultural differences. You have to explain that morality can be subjective, and be able to co-exist in society. You will probably have to refer to the morals at the present time.
The best way to tell a child how to live is to show him what is valued. If a child likes his friend, you have to make the child think about why. Once the child notices and recognizes goodness in others, he or she is likely to develop it as well.
In fact, children learn most of their morals by watching people around them. They absorb behaviour patterns from teachers and older students. They watch to see what is rewarded and who is punished. They learn on the sports field and through social work. Moral science lessons should simply consist of letting them live and interact, and watch you support correct values and reward good behaviour.
小題1:Which is NOT the reason that moral science is taught in schools with little effect?
A．Morality doesn’t belong to a science
B．Morality is more like a social phenomenon.
C．Different generations have different moral ideas.
D．Morality can’t be written down in textbooks.
小題2: The author describes his own experience of learning moral lessons in order to                .
A．explain that telling lies is not moral for little children
B．a(chǎn)dvise that people should be rewarded for their goodness
C．prove that moral lessons in schools have little effect
D．show that he has no impression of moral science
小題3:When you tell a child about morals, you should               .
A．teach him to share personal moral ideas with others
B．tell him about social norms and cultural differences
C．explain that nobody can influence his moral ideas
D．say that the morals at the present time will be changed
小題4:What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A．The best way of teaching children about morals.
B．The value of teachers setting a good example.
C．The influence of people’s behavior on morals.
D．The importance of rewarding good behavior.

Chinese are very generous (慷慨) when it comes to educating their children. Not caring about the money, parents often send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England, the United States or Australia. They also want their children to take extra-course activities where they will either learn a musical instrument or ballet（芭蕾舞）, or other classes that will give them a head start in life. The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is. So parents will spend an unreasonable amount of money on education. Even poor couples will buy a computer for their son or daughter.
However, what most parents fail to see is that the best early education they can give their children is usually very cheap.
Parents can see that their children’s skills vary, skilled in some areas while poor in others. What most parents fail to realize though, is that today’s children lack self-respect and self-confidence (自信). 
The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiple-choice tests and how to study well, but parents are not teaching them the most important skills they need to be confident, happy and clever.
Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking, sewing and doing other housework.
Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life. Cooking demands patience and time. It is an enjoyable but difficult experience. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and gradually finish his job successfully. His result, a well-cooked dinner, will give him much satisfaction and a lot of self-confidence.
Some old machines, such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child to play with will make him curious and arouse（喚起） his interest. He will spend hours looking at them, trying to fix them; your child might become an engineer when he grows up. These activities are not only teaching a child to read a book, but rather to think, to use his mind. And that is more important.  
小題1:Parents in China, according to this passage, _______.
A．a(chǎn)re too strict with their children
B．a(chǎn)re too rich to educate their children
C．have some problems in educating their children correctly
D．a(chǎn)re too poor to educate their children
小題2: The writer of the passage does not seem to be satisfied with ______.
A．the parents’ ideas of educating their childrenB．the education system
C．children’s skillsD．children’s hobbies
小題3:Doing some cooking at home helps children ______.
A．learn how to serve their parents
B．learn how to become strong and fat
C．benefit from it and prepare themselves for the future
D．make their parents believe that they are clever
小題4:According to the last paragraph we can conclude that ______.
A．broken radios and television sets are useful
B．one’s curiosity may be useful for his later life
C．a(chǎn)n engineer must fix many broken radios
D．a(chǎn) good student should spend much time repairing radios
