After we meet people, it is up to us to make them our friends．Let us stop a moment and consider what really makes a friend. The major qualities like faithfulness, devotion, friendliness，flash through our minds. But it is the large number of very small particular qualities that make up one’s whole character, such as cheerfulness, friendliness and punctuality. After all, “to make a friend, be a friend” is not such a big and difficult order. There are particular favorable qualities, which attract others to us, and some fundamental psychological do’s and don’ts．
If you are in the presence of a shy person, talking and asking casual questions may bring him out of his shell. Think of what would be most acceptable to the other person for you to talk, or to listen. Either way, the goal is to make yourself pleasant．
Always remember to listen, but listen intelligently. To have anyone “hang on our words” is the most unnoticeably clever way in the world to please somebody．For a few extremely happy seconds we are the center of attraction，but when it is our turn to be audience，let us remember how we felt as the actor，and let’s be genuinely interested in what the other fellow is saying．
Other people will like us, if we like them. If you want friends, keep your mind and heart open to friendship. Be alive to the other person’s world．
小題1:This passage is mainly about________.
A．the way of talking to a shy person
B．some favorable qualities to be a psychologist
C．how to make yourself attractive to listeners
D．how to make a friend and be a friend
小題2: The underlined part “bring him out of his shell” in the second paragraph most probably means________.
A．make him become activeB．make him feel more nervous
C．help him understand the question betterD．help him listen intelligently
小題3:According to the passage，an important way in making friends is to________.
A．a(chǎn)ttract themB．be attractedC．listen attentivelyD．talk widely

It is football time again．Currently, the qualifying rounds are being played to decide which countries will send teams to the next World Cup．Some Soccer is becoming more and more popular on a worldwide scale and these qualifying legs are causing much excitement．
The game is popular at club level as well．Many fans go every week to support their teams, whether the event is a home or away one, hoping to get a result．They all hope an attacking game, with a lot of goals being scored．Obviously, they do not want to see a boring, defensive match where the players are aimlessly passing the ball to each other．
Sadly, not all the action always takes place on the ground．All too frequently, there is action in the stands, too．Football supporters, most of whom declare their loyalty , by wearing their team colors, in the form of shirts, are not known for their quiet behavior．They are often very noisy, shouting noisy encouragement to their team and singing deafening songs．
There is much rivalry between supporters．Mostly, this is good-natured, but trouble can easily arise．Fans get angry if they feel that a referee has made a wrong decision, perhaps giving one of their team a red or yellow card unfairly, or perhaps failing to notice a foul committed by a member of the other team．
When trouble breaks out in a football crowd, it can be difficult to control．Stadium officials often seat the opposing fans in separate parts of the ground as a precaution against fighting． However, preventing trouble is more difficult outside the ground．In the worst cases, riot （暴亂）police have to be called in．
Unfortunately, there are some fans who enjoy this violent aspect of football．These football hooligans （流氓） really enjoy a running battle with the police, and call up other people to throw stones and bottles at them．They regard football not only as a sport, but as an excuse for trouble makings．Inevitably, their behavior spoils the reputation of the game．
小題1:The qualifying rounds are played to ______．
A．make the game more excitingB．a(chǎn)ttract soccer fans at club level
C．raise funds for the organizationD．select the teams for the next rounds
小題2:What do football fans hope to see?
A．A home game．B．A defensive game．
C．An exciting game．D．An evenly matched game．
小題3:Riot police are called in ______．
A．to stop lighting occurring outside the ground
B．to separate the opposing fans inside the ground
C．a(chǎn)s a precaution against trouble inside the ground
D．a(chǎn)s a precaution against lighting outside the ground
小題4:It is implied in the last paragraph that ______．
A．football has a poor reputation
B．football hooligans are crazy about the games
C．football fans enjoy spoiling games
D．football can be an excuse for troublemaking

Not too long ago, a Chicago brewery (釀造廠) introduced a new beer that was supposed to be the least fattening（making people fat） on the market. It was lighter, so they called it LITE. Only two months after the new beer had been on sale, however, strange new ads appeared in the Chicago newspapers. They read ’LITE Tastes Soapy’. The public, of course, was confused. Who wanted a beer that tasted like soap（肥皂）, even if it was non-fattening?   
The new ads weren’t talking about LITE beer, however. They were for a product of the LITE Soap Company. The president of the LITE Soap Company, Mrs Ruth Ascott, was very upset with the brewery for taking the name of her high-powered detergent (洗滌劑) and using it as the name of a new beer. LITE Soap had had the same name for 53 years. She wrote to the brewery, insisting that they should not use the word LITE in their beer ads. The brewery replied that they could—and would—because beer and soap were so different. They planned to ignore the ’LITE Tastes Soapy’ ads, since the public knew which LITE was which.
Mrs Ascott then wanted to plan a new campaign. The ads would read ’LITE Is Wonderful for Washing Clothes’.
小題1:It is clear that _____.
A. the Chicago brewery was sure the soap company would add to its fame
В. the LITE Soap Company is happy to know the name of the beer
С. the ad ’LITE Tastes Soapy’ did harm to LITE the beer
D. the brewery was not surprised at all to see the ad ’LITE Tastes Soapy’
小題2:It seems that_____.
A.  the new beer may lose weight         В.  the brewery was right
С.  making ads is not difficult           D.  most beer makes us fat
小題3:When the ad ’LITE Tastes Soapy’ comes out, _____.
A. the beer sold well on the market     
В. it confused some consumers of the beer
С. people thought the beer was the least fattening
D. people began to like the product from LITE Soap Company
小題4:We may conclude that_____.
A. neither of the two products sells well
В. both the two companies get on very well
С. the brewery did wrong to the LITE Soap Company
D. it was wrong of the soap company to have LITE as her own name
小題5:When the public read the ad in the last paragraph, they _____.
A. might wash their clothes with the beer       В. are likely to stop to buy the beer
С. might be more confused than ever before     D. may find out which LITE was which

Experts do not really know when people began keeping fish as pets. But they say that people have been interested in fish for thousands of years. Some say the ancient Sumerians were the first civilization to keep fish in ponds more than four thousand years ago. The Chinese kept and studied carp and goldfish more than one thousand years ago. The ancient Romans kept eels as pets. And the Greek philosopher Aristotle made what is believed to be the first known study of sea life, including sharks and dolphins.
Keeping fish at home in small water tanks called aquariums is extremely popular today. And everyone seems to enjoy visiting huge public aquariums that have opened around the world.
By the middle of the eighteen hundreds, science had shown that plants, fish and other sea creatures could survive together under water. So it was no longer necessary to change the water in a tank for the fish to live there. This led to the building of the first public aquariums.
The first aquariums opened in London, England in 1853. in the next fifteen years, other aquariums opened in Europe and the United States. By 1928, there were about forty-five public aquariums.
The Monterey Bay Aquarium has been recognized as the first aquarium in the United States and it shows visitors the underwater life in the bay. The Georgia Aquarium opening in 2005 says it is the largest in the world. It has more than one hundred thousand sea animals in thirty million liters of water including two whale sharks---the world’s largest fish.
Another aquarium re-opened in 2005 in Camden, New Jersey. The Adventure Aquarium first opened in 1992. It spent about fifty million dollars expanding its building and improving its exhibits.
Aquariums provide the public with many chances to experience life under the sea. They can be found in most areas of the world. People might even want to start an aquarium at home and join the millions of people around the world who keep fish as pets.
小題1:Which aquarium opened again after its rebuilding ?
A．The Monterey Bay Aquarium.B．The Adventure Aquarium.
C．The Georgia Aquarium.D．The first aquarium in London.
小題2:Which of the following is NOT mentioned to have kept fish as pets?
A．The ancient Sumerians.B．The ancient Romans.C．The Chinese.D．The ancient Indians.
小題3:Which of the following is correct?
A．People were not interested in fish until the middle of the eighteen hundreds.
B．The Moneterey Bay Aquarium is regarded as the best aquarium in America.
C．Plants, fish and other sea creatures could not survive together under sea.
D．People have to change the water in a tank frequently for the fish to live there.
小題4: The passage is written mainly       .
A．to tell people the importance of keeping fish as pets
B．to explain why people want to visit aquariums
C．to let people know the development of the aquariums
D．to describe different aquariums
小題5:What does the underlined word “aquariums” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A．Exhibition centres where people can watch and enjoy different species of fish.
B．Small boxes made of glass, where people keep fish in, usually at home.
C．Places which shows visitors the underwater life in the bay.
D．Places which provides the public with many chances to experience life under the sea.

My wife passed away a few years ago, and I went through the worst time in my life. I even wanted to kill myself. Just for kids, I had to continue to live and work as small-town doctor at my medical clinic in Hawaii. My kids had gone to live on the mainland, and I was alone. Then they asked me to have a family trip.
On our trip, we turned on the TV at the motel and saw the second plane crash into the World Trade Center. Seeing it falling down, I said to my kids: “I’m going to Afghanistan”. And a few weeks later, international Medical Corps sent me to set up 20 clinics in provinces where people had no health care. In these field clinics surrounded by frightening shoots or deadly bombs, we were eventually serving 27,000 patients a month in a very busy schedule. Tired and nervous, I gradually had a sense of achievement, a sense of purpose, and my depression went away.
In the years to follow, I went to Indonesia after the tsunami, Pakistan after the earthquakes, Sudan after the civil warm and Iraq after more and more bombs. Each time after disasters one after another, hundreds of people were killed, wounded and many more had to flee. We once set up movable clinics in an area with 19,000 refugees, and it was supposed to hold 13,000 originally. Flu broke out, one of the biggest killers of kids in refugee camps, and it spread like wildfire. Water and food were also serious problems. “Adventures or not?” I often asked myself.
When my wife passed away, I thought my life was done. But in reality, it was just getting started. At the end of her life, she went unconscious. I held her head in my hands and told her of all the places we would visit and the exciting adventures we would have.
I think about the moment many times during my “adventures”. I didn’t know how predictive those words would be. But I know that she is still with me.
小題1:Where has the doctor been in the past few years?
A．Some countries where he could set up clinics.
B．Some African countries where flu broke out.
C．The places where the earthquakes happened.
D．The places that the horrible disasters struck.
小題2:How would the doctor describe his life after he had worked in Afghanistan?
A．Tired and troublesome.
B．Busy and risky.
C．Meaningful and helpful
D．Frightening and depressing.
小題3:The underlined word “refugees” means people_______________.
A．who are robbed, killed, or wounded
B．who suffer from flu in movable clinics
C．who like to take adventures
D．who have lost homes because of disasters.
小題4:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．the doctor’s wife encouraged him to work in foreign countries.
B．What the doctor said to his wife before her death became reality.
C．The doctor’s adventures made him understand the love of his wife.
D．With the true love of his wife, the doctor started to change his life.

Have you ever picked a job based on the fact that you were good at it but later found it made you feel very uncomfortable over time? When you select your career, there's a whole lot more to it than assessing your skills and matching them with a particular position. If you ignore your personality, it will hurt you long-term regardless of your skills or the job's pay. There are several areas of your personality that you need to consider to help you find a good job. Here are a few of those main areas;
1) Do you prefer working alone or with other people?
There are isolating（使孤立）jobs that will drive an outgoing person crazy and also interactive jobs that will make a shy person uneasy. Most people are not extremes in either direction but do have a tendency that they prefer. There are also positions that are sometimes a combination of the two, which may be best for someone in the middle who adapts easily to either situation.
2) How do you handle change?
Most jobs these days have some elements of change to them, but some are more than others. If you need stability in your life, you may need a job where the changes don't happen so often. Other people would be bored of the same daily routine.
3) Do you enjoy working with computers？
I do see this as a kind of personality characteristic. There are people who are happy to spend more than 40 hours a week on a computer, while there are others who need a lot of human interaction throughout the day. Again, these are extremes and you'll likely find a lot of positions somewhere in the middle as well.
4) What type of work environment do you enjoy？
This can range from being in a large building with a lot of people you won't know immediately to a smaller setting where you'll get to know almost all the people there fairly quickly.
5) How do you like to get paid?
Some people are motivated by the pay they get, while others feel too stressed to be like that. The variety of payment designs in the sales industry is a typical example for this.
Anyway, these are a great starting point for you. I've seen it over and over again with people that they make more money over time when they do something they love. It may take you a little longer, but making a move to do what you have a passion for can change the course of your life for the better.
小題1:What is unnecessary in your job hunting?
A．Assessing your skillsB．Going to different areas
C．Matching your skills with a positionD．taking your personality into consideration
小題2: Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Isolating jobs usually drive people mad.B．Interactive jobs make people shy easily.
C．Extreme people tend to work with others.D．Almost everyone has a tendency in jobs.
小題3:What is the missing word about a job search in the following chart?
A．Design.B．Changes.C．Cooperation.D．Hobbies.

小題4:What is the best title for this passage?
A．Lifestyles and Job PayB．Jobs and Environment
C．Job Skills and AbilitiesD．Personalities and Jobs

The Barbie doll first appeared at the toy fair in New York in 1959. Its creator was Ruth Handler, an American businesswoman. She and her husband Elliott along with Harold Matt Matson started the toy company Mattel. She based the design of the new doll on a German doll named Bild Lilli and named her after their daughter Barbara.
The first Barbie wore a black and white swimsuit and had her hair in a ponytail(馬尾辮). She looked very grown-up. But any concerns that parents would not want to buy it for little girls were soon proved wrong.
Mattel sold 300,000 Barbie dolls in the first year at a price of three dollars. Today, a fifty-year-old Barbie in good condition might cost more than 27,000 dollars.
Barbie dolls have represented 50 different nationalities and are sold in 150 countries. Mattel says 90% of girls in the United States between the ages of three and ten own at least one Barbie doll. It says girls between the ages of three and six own an average of about 12.
Barbie also faced her share of critics. A well-known example was when women’s education groups objected to a talking Barbie doll that declared, among other things, “Math class is tough!” Mattel agreed to change it. Saudi Arabia has banned Barbie dolls. And a lawmaker in the American state of West Virginia would like to do the same. Last month, he proposed banning sales of Barbie and other dolls that influence girls to put too much importance on physical beauty.
Some people say Barbie is an unhealthy role model for young girls. Robin Gerber disagrees. She wrote a book about Barbie. She points out dolls like scientist Barbie and race car driver Barbie. She says people who criticize Barbie should tell girls the story of the businesswoman who created her. She says Ruth Handler wanted the dolls to help girls think about what they wanted to do with their lives.
小題1:The first Barbie doll might not be popular among little girls because _______.
A．her hairstyle was out of fashion
B．her appearance looked much too mature
C．her way of dressing was against the tradition
D．physical beauty wasn’t thought to be important
小題2:From the passage we know that Mattel ________.
A．is one of the world’s largest toy companies
B．is the director of an American toy company
C．was the woman who originally created Barbie
D．was a salesman who was good at selling Barbie dolls
小題3:Barbie dolls are criticized partly because they make girls ________.
A．pay too much attention to their physical beauty
B．neglect their schoolwork and inner beauty
C．prefer physical beauty to inner beauty
D．waste too much time and money on clothes
小題4:It can be inferred from the last paragraph that in her book Robin Gerber ________.
A．shows Barbie dolls have a negative influence on girls
B．praises a successful person who sells Barbie dolls
C．expresses her own favorable opinion about Barbie
D．a(chǎn)rgues for banning the sales of Barbie dolls
