Narrator： (scene shows an old woman,washing her supper dishes) For several years,a widow has lived in her own pleasant tworoom and kitchenette apartment in a rebuilt brownstone near East River. Her late husband,Mr. H. T. Miller,had left a fair amount of insurance money before he passed away. Mrs. Miller is,in fact,not an average sixty-one-year-old woman;she has little interest outside her apartment,has no friends to speak of,and she only ventures out as far as a nearby grocery store. No one who lives near her has taken note of her existence,with her oldfashioned dress and oldfashioned hairstyle,and she never uses any cosmetics (化妝品) .Her daily activities are monotonous,smoking an occasional cigarette,preparing her own meals,feeding her canary (a kind of bird) named " Tommy"， and keeping her tworoom apartment as clean as possible. (Mrs. Miller sits down on her couch,reading through the afternoon newspaper.) Narrator： (camera changes scene to Rod Serling,a glowing cigarette held in his hand) One would think that her life would be as normal as anyone else's. She doesn't mind the wall of isolation she has created around herself all these years. But all of this is going to change. Mrs. Miller is going to meet a person,a small child,who,like her,has no friends,goes through life unnoticed,and ventures only as far as Mrs,Miller. Would it be a dream of happiness come true? Or perhaps the worst nightmare Mrs. Miller has ever experienced ...In the Twilight Zone!Title shows： " Miriam" Act I：At the Theater (Scene 1,at Mrs. Miller's apartment)

  People often ask me why I wear a red ribbon. Some people ask the question simply to find out what the ribbon means,but other people are really asking a hidden question：they wonder what experiences in life has moved me so that I would want to wear a red ribbon,a visible reminder to all who see me of the continuing battle against HIV and AIDS. They are asking why I,a white female in the heart of the conservative South,would choose to take an often unpopular stand,instead of quietly going about my life. Unknowingly,they are asking about my husband,Bob Johnson.

  Bob Johnson made me his wife,but AIDS made me his widow. He died in my arms at 1 ：45 a.m. on Monday,May 17,1993,in the little white house we had moved into only two days earlier. In our private final hours,I sang to him,prayed over him,and recited the 23rd psalm over and over as I carefully brushed his long hair.

  "Go ahead,sweetie," I whispered as I held him, "it's okay to let go now. " As I kissed his lips for the last time and felt his life leave his body,my hand stayed on his chest,where his body heat remained the longest. Another brave warrior in the fight against AIDS had fallen.

  Now I wear the red ribbon. I am still alive,still able to carry the message about the reality and urgency of AIDS and how HIV can be prevented. I carry this message for those whose voices can no longer be heard but whose presence can still be felt. What message is that? I carry the message―to all who will hear and listen―that HIV/AIDS is,at this point,100% fatal ... but it is also 100% preventable.

  The gay community,for more than a decade,has shown us an incredible example of what unconditional love and honest,AIDS prevention education can accomplish. What about the rest of us? Where are the mainstream churches? I have been disppointed by stories of persons protesting AIDS funerals with hateful signs or quietly asking HIV-infected families to leave.

  When I wear the red ribbon,I am demonstrating my compassion and care for people living with HIV/AIDS,my determination that those who have already died from AIDS-related causes will not be forgotten,my support for the ongoing efforts of all AIDS service organizations and researchers,my desire to educate others about how to stop the spread of this plague.

  There are those who believe the red ribbon has lost its meaning,that it's only an empty symbol now. I disagree!As long as my red ribbon gives someone the opportunity to ask me a question about AIDS,or gives someone the strength to go through another day encouraged by this small sign of support and solidarity (團(tuán)結(jié)) ，then its message is very clear; The red ribbon simply means that I care.

(   ) 1. The writer chose to wear a red ribbon         .

   A. to be given more sympathy from the friends and neighbor around

   B. to fight against the discrimination in the conservative South

   C. to offer the help for those who are infected with HIV/AIDS

   D. to collect money as much as possible for the AIDS orphans

(   ) 2. According to the passage,which of the following is true?

   A. Bob passed away together with his AIDS friend in the hospital.

   B. Families and friends were terribly afraid of saying goodbye to Bob.

   C. The love and care from his wife made Bob's leaving peacefully.

   D. Bob was infected with AIDS by blood transmission and drugs.

(   ) 3. What word can be used to take the place of the "underlined" word "plague" in the passage?

   A. disaster   B. rumour   C. message   D. sadness

(   ) 4. Which will be the best title for the passage?

   A. I Wear a Red Ribbon   B. AIDS Made Me a Widow

C: AIDS Is 100% Preventable   D. It's OK to Let Go Now

  One thing Britain is famous for is pubs,and no trip to the UK would be complete without a visit to one of the thousands of pubs across the country.

  Pubs play an important part in the social structure of the country. They are places where all ages and social classes mix to talk,do business,or just spend a couple of quiet hours before heading home in the evening.

  There are many different types of beer available in pubs. Traditional British beer is called bitter,or ale,and is usually served at room temperature. As a result,the British are famous for their " warm beer"！

  If you prefer a cold beer,ask for lager. This beer is a light yellow in color whereas bitter is usually a darker brown. Another type of beer is stout—you may have heard of Guinness,which is a type of stout. This is a cold,black beer and takes a long time to pour,so don't be surprised if you have to wait for it.

  All beers are served as pints (500 ml) or halves (250ml) . To order,you need to ask for a pint or half,and then name the beer. So,you could say "A pint of bitter,please."

  Another drink is cider. This is like beer,but it is made from apples so it can taste sweet.

  Wine,red or white,is normally available in all pubs,as are spirits such as whisky,gin or vodka. These are served as singles (25ml) or doubles (50ml) .

It is not,however,necessary to drink alcohol. Nonalcoholic drinks are called soft drinks. You can have juice,lemonade or cola,among others.

  If you visit a pub in a group,it is important to pay for your "round". This means that you buy a drink for everyone in your group. Not buying your round is a big social mistake!Remember that you need to order and pay for your drinks at the bar.

So,follow these tips if you want to get the most out of visiting a pub,and, "Cheers!"

(   ) 5. What is mainly introduced about pubs in Britain in the passage?

   A. Some tips in Britain. B. People in pubs in Britain.

   B. You can ask any amount of drink in pubs.

   C. You can drink alcohol or soft drink in pubs.

   D. When you go with your friends,you must pay for them.

(   ) 7. What does the underlined sentence in the first paragraph mean in the passage?

   A. If you didn't visit a pub in Britain,you wouldn't buy anything.

   B. Pubs are part of British life,so you'd better not miss them.

   C. There are many famous pubs in Britain and you should visit them.

  One of the things teachers dread is to have charge of a class dominated by a large,stupid,bullying boy. David Horsey gives such a young rude truly nightmarish (垂夢般的) proportions in today's cartoon：too large to fit in the room.

  The teacher in the cartoon is trying to interest her pupils in a violin. There are many ways in which to think about a violin：how it is played,how it makes those sounds,the kind of music that one can play on it,how the violin was crafted,who produced it,the historical origin of the violin,its beauty as an object,attitudes toward violins and violin music,etc. The violin is a perfect tool for stimulating curiosity and imagination,for encouraging experiment,for exciting wonder,for training taste. And such undertakings as these are fundamental to the best Western concept of education,just as important as the mastery of facts. Facts are important,but facts are also dead in themselves. Good education must include giving children experience in using facts to explore the unknown,in groups and on their own,and also to formulate opinions and impressions,and to defend them in debate.

  But progress in such matters as imagination,creativity and responsiveness cannot easily be tested,at least not numerically,while success in memorizing facts can be measured in neat ways to satisfy the bureaucrats (官僚) .Now President Bush has promised to improve American primary education,and most observers would agree that it needs improvement. He sides with the people who emphasize the use of tests to guarantee that pupils are reaching certain minimums in math and reading. That is the approach taken in the "No Child Left Behind" Act passed by Congress early in the Bush presidency：forced testing of children and schools,with published results for the schools and punitive (懲罰性的) measures for under performers.

  But Horsey sympathizes with teachers who complain that teaching to tests has little to do with true education. Education in fact is easy to organize;education for life―in using all the capacities of one's mind to meet the challenges of life―is an art that bureaucrats,like the class bully,know nothing about and want to hear nothing of.

(   ) 5. What does the underlined word " bullying boy" probably mean in the first paragraph?

   A. A smart but poor person.

   B. A rough and violent person.

   C. An honest but hottempered man.

   D. An intelligent but talkative one.

(   ) 6. The passage is mainly about         .

   A. how to teach a violin in an effective way

   B. what good education is like

   C. an argument about a law

   D. how to help students pass tests

(   ) 7. From the passage we can infer that .

   A. some officials don't know much about education

   B. creativity and responsiveness can easily be tested

   C. the students just need to learn what will be tested

   D. the testing can improve American primary education

(   ) 8. The writer's opinions are as follows EXCEPT         .

   A. It's good to take "No child left Behind" Act passed by Congress

   B. Education is more than test. In some way,it's a kind of Art

   C. We can test the facts but can't test the capacities of the students

   D. Teachers should let the students know more than tested facts

  In a living statue,just as the name implies,somebody transforms himself or herself into a statue. Last year,I came across an article in a magazine describing living statues in the streets of some Australian cities. The article was vividly written,except that there was not even a single picture;one could only imagine what a scene it would have been!All the harder,then,to believe that I ran into the "wonder" in Barcelona this year. The performers一the living statues—were street artists at Las Ramblas.

  Las Ramblas is the most famous street in Barcelona. Especially in summer,thousands of tourists go to the seaside by passing through this street,making it a center of shops and bazaars (市場) .Not only can you find tourists there,but also thieves,swindlers,cops ... among whom the living statue artists are the most special group.

  They were covered with greasepaint (油脂漆) in different colors,wearing season disproportional clothes,standing on a base for several hours without making even a single move. Are they real or fake,the guests were wondering ... and then suddenly the statues came to life,just for a few seconds to shift positions. But the movement of the statues seemed like someone just had breathed life into them. They really do look like statues,and that's how they got their name.

  Usually there is a jar or a hat in front of them. They would change to another pose whenever some tourists put a coin in the hat. You may take photos after giving a Euro,or even less,but be careful not to touch the statues,unless you want yourself to be covered in paint. It's a really special experience,don't you think?

  For Chinese people,this is undoubtedly a surprising style of art and way of making a living. I haven't seen or heard any report at all about living statues in Chinese cities. Body painting of course sometimes can be seen,but it's not quite the same as having a living statue.

(   ) 5. From the passage we know that a living statue is         .

   A. a statue which can be made in the face of the people

   B. a kind of statue that people can touch freely

   C. a statue that somebody pretends and that looks like a real one

   D. a common statue that can stand in the street

(   ) 6. Where did the writer first know about the living statues?

   A. In a magazine.

   B. In the street of Bacelona.

   C. In some squares in China.

   D. From some pictures.

(   ) 7. According to the passage,which of the following statements is true?

   A. At Las Ramblas you can see different kinds of people except the living statues.

   B. Body painting is the same as the living statues.

   C. You can take photos of the statues for free but better not touch them.

   D. Up to now,there are no living statues appearing in the streets in China.

(   ) 8. The underlined word "vividly" probably means         .

   A. lively   B. interestingly   C. carefully   D. lovely

  Teenagers and young adults who see more alcohol advertising are also likely to drink more,according to a study that makes the strongest link yet between alcohol advertisements and youth drinking.

  The findings from the United States challenge the claim by alcohol manufacturers that advertising does not influence the amount that young people drink,but merely encourages them to switch brand (change to drink another kind of alcohol) .

  In a study at the University of Connecticut,scientists interviewed more than 4 ,000 Americans aged between 15 and 26 about their drinking habits and viewing of advertisements. They found that each additional alcohol advertisement seen each month was connected with a 1 percent increase in the average number of alcohol drinking.

  Leslie Snyder,who led the study,said, "The results ... deny claims that advertising is unrelated to youth drinking amounts,that advertising at best causes brand switching,only affects those older than the legal drinking age,or is effectively objected against by current educational efforts."

  "Alcohol advertising was a contributing factor to youth drinking quantities over time." Young people drank 3 percent more alcohol per month for each additional dollar spent per person in each of the markets studied.

  David Jernigan,of the Centre on Alcohol Marketing and Youth at Georgetown University,Washington D C. wrote in an editorial that the research cast doubt on the alcohol industry's central claims about advertising.

  "The fact that young people were more likely to drink more over time in environments with more alcohol advertising,even when controlling for alcohol sales in those environments,suggests that it is alcohol advertising that contributes to the drinking," he said.

  "These and other findings pointed to alcohol advertising ' as an important area for trying to reduce underage drinking and its tragic consequences' ”he added.

(   ) 5. Which is NOT included in the claims by alcohol manufacturers?

   A. Alcohol advertising only encourages people to change brand.

   B. Alcohol advertising was the main cause leading to youth drinking quantities all the time.

   C. Alcohol advertising does not influence the amount that young people drink.

   D. Alcohol advertising affects those older than the legal drinking age.

(   ) 6. The underlined phrase "cast doubt on" means         .

   A. criticize   B. disagree with

   C. question   D. make comments on

(   ) 7. According to the passage,which of the following is NOT right?

   A. In environments with more alcohol advertising young people will drink more alcohol.

   B. The result of the study indicates that we should try to reduce alcohol advertising.

   C. If we reduced advertising,we would reduce some bad effects from drinking.

   D. The alcohol advertising just has influence on the older people.

(   ) 8. What's the best title of the passage?

   A. Alcohol Advertising's Influence on People

   B. Alcohol Advertisements Do Make Teens Drink More

   C. The Study of Alcohol Advertising

   D. Current Educational Effort is Fighting against the Alcohol Advertising

  A panic attack is a sudden feeling of terror. Usually it does not last long,but it may feel like forever.

  The cause can be something as normally uneventful as driving over a bridge or flying in an airplane. And it can happen even if the person has driven over many bridges or flown many times before.

  A fast heartbeat. Sweaty hands. Difficulty breathing. A lightheaded feeling. At first a person may have no idea what is wrong. But these can all be signs of what is known as panic disorder.

  In the United States,the National Institute of Mental Health says more than two million people are affected in any oneyear period.

  The American Psychological Association says panic disorder is two times more likely in women than men. And it can last anywhere from a few months to a lifetime.

Panic attacks can be dangerous―for example,if a person is driving at the time. Some people who suffer a panic attack develop a phobia,a deep fear of ever repeating the activity that brought on the attack.

  But experts say panic disorder can be treated. Doctors might suggest antianxiety or anti depressant medicines. Talking to a counselor could help a person learn to deal with or avoid a panic attack. There are breathing methods,for example,that might help a person calm down. 

  Panic disorder is included among what mental health professionals call anxiety disorders. A study published last week reported a link between anxiety disorders and several physical diseases.

  The report in the Archives of Internal Medicine came from a German health study of more than four thousand adults.

(   ) 1. When a panic happens,you can have the feeling that         .

   A. your heart beats slowly   B. your hands become sweaty

   C. you breath faster   D. your reaction is quicker

(   ) 2. What is the best title for the passage?

   A. A Panic Is a Kind of Disease

   B. How to Prevent Panic Attacks

   C. A Research Report about Panic Attacks

   D. The Cause of Panic Attacks

(   ) 3. In which section can you find the passage in the newspaper?

   A. Entertainment. B. Sports.

   C. Health. D. High technology.

(   ) 4. What does the underlined word "phobia" in the passage mean?

   A. A kind of deep fear after a panic attack.

   B. A disease resulting in death.

   C. A special treatment to cure panic attacks.

   D. A sort of medicine for heart disease.
