小題1:___
After I had spent a week with my English family, I slowly began to understand their English a little better. _小題2:____ Students in my group are from different cities of Britain and their dialects (方言) are different too! Some of their accents are quite strong and they also have their own words and expressions.
小題3:____ Before I came to England I had thought that fish and chips were eaten every day. That’s quite wrong! I get rather annoyed now when I hear all the foolish words about typical English food.
I had expected to see “London fog”. Do you remember our texts about it? We had no idea that most of this “thick fog” disappeared many years ago when people stopped using coal in their homes. But the idea to speak about weather was very helpful. 小題4:___ On the other hand, habits are different. People tell me what is typical British here in London is not always typical in Wales or Scotland小題5:____
But what is ordinary for all British is that they follow traditions(傳統(tǒng)). Probably Britain has more living signs of its past than many other countries. And people have always been proud of having ancient (古老) buildings in capitals, big cities and the countryside.
I will tell you more about Britain in my other letters.
Love from Britain.
Peter

Dear son,
The day that you see me old and I am already not in good health, have patience and try to understand me.
If I get dirty when eating, if I can not dress, have patience and remember the hours I   36  teaching it to you. If, when I speak to you, I   37  the same things thousand and one times, do not   38   me, listen to me. When you were small, I had to read to you thousand and one times the same story   39   you got to sleep. When I do not want to have a   40 , neither shame me nor scold me. Remember when I had to chase you with thousand excuses I   41 , in order that you wanted to bathe. When you see my   42  little about new technologies, give me the necessary time and do not look at me with your mocking(嘲弄) smile. I taught you   43  to do so many things: to eat good, to dress well, to confront life…. When at some moment I lose the memory or the   44   of our conversation, let me have the necessary time to remember, and if I cannot do it, do not become nervous, as the most important thing is not our conversation but surely to be with you and to have you   45   to me.
If ever I do not want to eat, do not force me. I know well   46   I need to and when not. When my   47  legs do not allow me to walk, give me your   48  , the same way I did when you gave your first   49 . And when someday I say to you that I do not want to   50  any more ---- that I want to rest forever, do not get angry. Someday you will understand.
Try to understand that my age is not lived but survived. Some day you will discover that,  51  my mistakes, I always wanted the   52  thing for you and that I tried to prepare the way for you. You must not feel sad, angry or impotent(無可奈何) for seeing me   53  you. You must be next to me, try to understand me and to help me as I did it when you   54  living. Help me to walk, help me to end my way with love and   55 . I will pay you by a smile and by the immense love I have had always for you.
I love you, Son.
Your father

About one year ago, a couple with three children moved into the apartment next door to me. I never heard any noise from the children. Instead, I often heard the parents yelling   __26__   at the kids, not in a nice tone, but in a   __27__  one.

Let’s say you have a piece of wood, a nail, and hammer. Pretend the wood is a person, the nail is a mean rumor (謠言) about that person. If you hammer in the nail, you’re obviously hurting him or her. If you then pull out the nail, there’s still a hole in the wood, and the damage has been done.
There are many reasons why that nail of a rumor can be so harmful. Rumors are, quite simply, a form of bullying (欺悔). When a person or a group makes up a rumor about someone or decides to spread gossip, it’s usually to hurt someone, break up a friendship, or make someone less popular. It’s the same thing as teasing, only it’s done behind someone’s back instead of to his or her face.
When you spread a rumor about someone, you’re sending a signal that the person is outside of the group, and somehow less worthy of friendship than others. You’re making fun of that person or pointing out negative things about him or her. This can let others think that it’s okay to make the person feel bad, and make him or her an outsider.
We need to be able to trust our friends, and gossip and rumors can break this trust. If you tell a personal secret to a friend, and he turns around and tells it to someone else, you might feel like you will get burned if you ever get close to him again.
Letting a rumor influence your behavior is like letting someone else make a big decision for you. Let’s say you hear that the teacher plans to call a Snow Day tomorrow because a blizzard (暴風(fēng)雪) is coming. Expecting a day off, you don’t do your homework. The next morning, the blizzard turns out to be nothing more than a drizzle（毛毛雨）, and school isn’t off after all. You get zeroes on your work.
小題1:The purpose of the first paragraph is to        .
A．help readers know what a rumor isB．a(chǎn)ttract readers to read the following paragraphs
C．emphasize the damaging effects of rumorsD．explain how a rumor spreads
小題2:To tell a rumor and a tease apart, you depend on        .
A．whether it is done behind someoneB．whether it is painful or not
C．whether it is a kind if bullyingD．whether it is spread fast
小題3: If a rumor is spread about someone, others may        .
A．point out his or her advantagesB．keep away from him or her
C．not feel he or she is an outsiderD．be hurt if getting close to him or her again
小題4:From the last paragraph, we can infer that        .
A．it is hard to keep rumors a secretB．rumors can destroy your interest in learning
C．believing rumors can lead to bad choicesD．rumors can control your whole life
小題5:The purpose of this passage is to         .
A．a(chǎn)dvise on how to deal with rumorsB．teach us how to judge a rumor
C．find out why rumors spread fastD．explain why rumors hurt

“Hurry, Mommy! Let’s go trick-or-treating!” My daughter waited by the door in her pink princess skirt while I prayed in the living room. Usually I liked taking her out on Halloween, but this year I was sad. I was worried about my mother, who was in China on vacation. I got a call that afternoon that she had slipped and fallen on the hard floor of her hotel and broken her leg. She was taken to a hospital in Beijing. Mom was nervous because she couldn’t understand any of the doctors. If only I could do something to help her!
I knew I couldn’t let my worries spoil my daughter’s fun. There was nothing I could do for Mom except pray, I thought. We left the house and went down the block. I was so upset that I hardly took notice of the kids around me. There came the man to whose son I’d once given piano lessons. “Hello there,” I said, greeting him and the boy at his side.
“Hello,” the father answered. “Having fun?”“I’m trying,” I said. “Why, what’s wrong?” he asked. I told him the whole story. “My mother, in China, broke her leg and didn’t understand any of the doctors. And I’m too far away to do anything!” I said.
He raised his eyebrows. “Beijing, you said?” he asked. I nodded. He smiled. “Believe it or not, my sister is a doctor at an English-speaking hospital there. If you want, I’ll make a call right away and we’ll try and get your mom transferred (轉(zhuǎn)移).”
A few days later I sat in the living room with my daughter as she finished the last of the candy. “Mommy, how far away is China?” she asked. “Not as far as I thought,” I said.
小題1:What did the author’s daughter want to do?

A．she was calling her motherB．she felt very sad at that time
C．she was about to give a lessonD．she couldn’t find her daughter

In the past, people who graduated from college felt proud of their academic (學(xué)業(yè)的) achievements and felt confident that their degree would help them to find a good job.
However, in the past five years the job market has changed greatly. This year’s college graduates are facing one of the worst job markets. For example, Ryan Stewart, a graduate of San Jose State University, got a degree in religious studies, but no job prospects. He points out that many people already working are getting laid off and don’t have jobs, so it’s even harder for new college graduates to find jobs.
Five years ago, the future looked bright for the class of 2006. There were many high-tech job chances. Graduates received many job offers, and they were able to get jobs with high salaries and benefits such as insurance (保險) and paid vacations. However, "Times have changed and it's a new market," according to an officer of the San Jose State Career Center.
The officer says students who do find jobs started preparing two years ago. They worked during summer vacations, they have had several short-time jobs, and they’ve majored in one of the few fields that are still hot, like chemical engineering, accounting, or nursing, where average starting salaries have actually increased over last year. Other popular fields (like information system management, computer science, and political science) have seen big declines (下降) in starting salaries.
Ryan Stewart (he had hoped to become a teacher) may go back to school in order to become a college teacher. He thinks college teaching could be a good career even in a bad economy.
In conclusion, these days a degree may not be a ticket to instant wealth for some students. For now, they can only hope the value of their degree will increase over time.
小題1:The underlined word in the second paragraph probably means _____.
A．skillsB．interestsC．chancesD．ideas
小題2:Which of the following majors has the best job offers?
A．teachingB．a(chǎn)ccounting
C．political scienceD．computer science
小題3: Ryan Stewart will have to ____________.
A．go back to schoolB．get a job teaching
C．change his majorD．become a religious leader
小題4:The underlined sentence in the last paragraph means ____________.
A．the best way to get rich is not to get a college degree
B．most students with degrees will not be able to find jobs
C．having a college degree does not mean that one has money for travelling
D．a(chǎn) college degree does not mean that one will find a well-paid job
小題5: The main idea of the passage is that _________.
A．a(chǎn) lot of graduates are losing their jobs
B．Ryan Stewart has been able to find a job
C．salaries in some fields have increased in the past year
D．the job market has changed greatly over the past five years

A used book or nearly-new kitchen gadget (配件) may not be at the top of every Christmas wish list, but hard economic times coupled with a new green awareness are changing attitudes about gift-giving in France.
French holiday shoppers are choosing larger numbers for “green” gifting this Christmas, studies show. About 30 percent of French consumers will give second-hand items as gifts to stretch out their tight budgets but also to do their little bit for recycling, according to a study by international consulting firm Deloitte.
The survey of Christmas consumer behaviors in 18 European countries found the French were more than twice as likely as other Europeans to give second-hand items. Websites promoting re-gifting and green gifting are popular in France, with many reporting a rise in business.
“Concerns about the ecology and the economy have come together and we are now seeing people who accept the types of gifts that were not appreciated just a short time ago,” said Sebastien Ravut, who runs a website promoting eco-friendly consumerism. His site lists shops in France that offer fair trade products, bio-friendly goods and recycled items. Over the Christmas holidays, the number of visits to the site has doubled from last year, reaching 60,000 a month.
A study by online survey firm Vivodi for PriceMinister showed eight out of 10 people would be happy to receive a used item as a gift and that younger consumers were more open to the idea.
But Gilles Goldenberg, author of the Deloitte study, said that environmental concerns are not why customers buy used goods. “The number one concern is getting the lowest possible price,” said Goldenberg. “Eco-friendly products are drawing a lot of interest, but not if that means paying more.”
Theatre tickets and other low-carbon gifts are fashionable, and eco-friendly websites are also encouraging gift givers to offer time and services instead of stuff. “The order of the day is to spend less time shopping and more time connecting” over the holidays, said Florence de Monclin from the Nicolas Helot foundation for Nature and Humanity.
小題1:We can judge from the Deloitte study that _________.
A．over a quarter of the French give second-hand Christmas gifts
B．the French are less willing to buy eco-friendly gifts than other Europeans
C．80% of French people are happy to receive second-hand gifts
D．less than 10% of European consumers are likely to give second-hand gifts
小題2:According to Goldenberg, the main reason for customers to buy used goods is that _______.
A．they want to be eco-friendly B．they want to save money
C．it is encouraged by websites D．it is a new fashion in Europe
小題3: All the following might be a promoted gift EXCEPT ________.
A．a(chǎn) theatre ticket
B．a(chǎn) second-hand book
C．a(chǎn) nearly-new digital toaster
D．a(chǎn) box of heavily packaged chocolate
小題4:Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A．Old people are not open minded enough to accept second-hand gifts.
B．People wish to receive second-hand gifts because of the economic downturn.
C．Ravut’s website received a sharp decrease in visits during the Christmas holidays.
D．In de Monclin’s opinion, people should spend more time with friends and family during holidays

Do you enjoy reading? Do you read newspapers or magazines? Chances are, if you do any of these activities, your pre-school child is on his way to becoming a reader.
The process of learning to read is complex, and one of the most important things to know is that parents can help their children learn to read. As children have conversations with adults, they hear both new and familiar words and their vocabulary grows.
There are many opportunities for adults and children to talk together, such as when riding in the car or in a bus, doing housework like fixing dinner, or bathing and getting ready for bed. A major part of conversation is listening. When children talk, adults listen and respond. Then children listen and respond, and so the flow of conversation happens.
Have you watched you pre-school child pretend to read to his younger sisters or brothers? Have you read his favorite story over and over? These experiences tell children that reading is fun. And when things are fun and they are repeated, your child will see letters. He begins to connect them to familiar words, especially the letters that make up his name. A natural next step for him to take is to write the letters.
When children see parents make a grocery list, they want to use a pencil and paper to make their own list. To encourage these beginning writing activities, have pencils, markers, crayons and scrap paper within your children’s reach.
The more children get connected with talking, listening, reading and writing, the easier it is for them to become active readers. While you as a parent have a big influence on these early behaviors, it is important to remember that opportunities for literacy experiences happen when you and your child share in the basic routines（日常生活）of everyday life.
小題1:The third paragraph tells us that parents can talk with their children__________.
A．during daily routinesB．only in quiet places
C．in their spare timeD．when they are eager to walk
小題2:During the process of learning to read, children may _________.
A．copy the action of the adults.
B．prefer to talk with those of their own age.
C．show no interest in reading at all.
D．waste a lot of paper and other materials.
小題3: When do children want to learn to write?
A．When their parents ask them to do so.
B．When they believe they can write well.
C．When they know what they want to know
D．When they can connect letters with familiar words.
小題4:The passage is written to _____________.
A．talk about parents’ influence on their children’s behavior
B．encourage parents to set a good example to their children
C．a(chǎn)dvise parents to make reading a part of their children’s daily life
D．make parents believe in the importance of early reading
