My parents operated a small restaurant in Seattle．It was open twenty-four hours a day, six days a week．And my first real job，when I was six years old，was  36  the diners’ shoes．My father had done it when he was young，so he taught me  37 to do it efficiently，telling me to  38  to re-shine the shoes if the customer wasn’t  39  .
Working in the restaurant was a cause of great  40  because I was also working for the good of the family．But my father  41  that I had to meet certain standards to be part of the team．I  42_  to be punctual(守時(shí)的)，hard-working，and polite to the  43  ．
I was  44  paid for the work I did at the restaurant．One day I made the mistake of advising Dad that he  45  give me $10 a week．He said，“OK．How about you paying me for three meals a day you have here? And  46  the times you bring in your friends for free soft drinks?” He  47  I owed him about $40 a week．
I remember returning to Seattle after being  48  in the US Army for about two years．I had just been promoted to Captain at that time．And full of pride，I walked into my parents’ restaurant，but the  49  thing Dad said was，“How about your  50  up tonight?” I couldn’t  51  my ears! I am an officer in the Army! But it didn’t  52  as far as Dad was concerned，I was just  53_   member of the team．I reached for the mop(拖把)．Working for Dad has taught me the devotion to a     _54  is above all．It has nothing to do with  55  that team is involved in a family restaurant or the US Army．

There are many kinds of friends. Some are always    36  you, but don't understand you. Some say only a few words to you, but understand you. Many people will step in your life, but only   37 friends leave footprints.

　　It was the golden season. I could see the yellow leaves   39 on the cool  40 . In such a season, I liked walking alone in the leaves,  41  to the sound of them.
　　Autumn is a  42  season and life is uninteresting. The free days always get me   43  . But one day, the sound of a violin   44  into my ears like a stream (小溪) flowing in the mountains. I was so surprised that I jumped to see what it was. A young girl, standing in the wind, was  45  in playing her violin.
　　I had  46 seen her before. The music was so nice that I listened quietly. Lost in the music, I didn't know that I had been   47 there for so long but my existence (存在) did not seem to disturb her.
　　Leaves were still falling. Every day she played the violin in the corner of the building  48 I went downstairs to watch her performance. I was the only listener. The autumn seemed no longer lonely and life became   49 .  50 we didn't know each other, I thought we were already good friends. I believe she also loved me.
Autumn was nearly over. One day, when I was listening carefully, the sound suddenly
   51 . To my astonishment (驚訝), the girl came over to me.
　　“You must like violin.” she said.
　　“Yes. And you play very well. Why did you stop?” I asked.
　　Suddenly, a   52 expression appeared on her face and I could feel something unusual.
　　“I came here to see my grandmother, but now I must leave. I once played very badly. It was your listening every day that   53 me.” she said.
　　“In fact, it was your playing   54 gave me a meaningful autumn,” I answered, “Let's be friends.”
　　The girl smiled, and so did I.
I never heard her play again in my life. I no longer went downstairs to listen like before. Only thick leaves were left behind. But I will always remember the fine figure (身影) of the girl. She is like a   55 —so short, so bright, like a shooting star giving off so much light that it makes the autumn beautiful.

If you travel to a new exhibition at the San Francisco Conservatory of Flowers, you will have chances to see some meat-eating plants. Take bladderworts, a kind of such plant, for example. They appear so small and grow in a quiet pond. "But these are the fastest known killers of the plant kingdom, able to capture a small insect in 1/50 of a second using a trap door!"
Once the trap door closes on the victim, the enzymes(酶）similar to those in the human stomach slowly digest the insert. When dinner is over, the plant opens the trap door and is ready to trap again.
Meat-eating plants grow mostly in wet areas with soil that doesn't offer much food nutrition. In such conditions, these amazing plants have developed insect traps to get their nutritional needs over thousands of years. North America has more such plants than any other continents.
Generally speaking, the traps may have attractive appearance to fool the eye, like pitcher plants, which get their name because they look like beautiful pitchers full of nectar(花蜜).
Hair-like growths along the pitcher walls ensure that nothing can escape, and the digestive enzymes can get to work. A tiny insect can be digested in a few hours, but a fly takes a couple of days.
Some of these pitchers are large enough to hold 7.5 liters. Meat-eating plants only eat people in science fiction movies, but sometimes a bird or other small animals will discover that a pitcher plant isn't a good place to get a drink.
小題1:From Paragraph 1，we learn that bladderworts can_ .
A．kill an insect in a second
B．digest a fly in a few hours
C．be found floating on a quiet lake
D．capture an insect in 1/50 of a second
小題2:If the trap door of a meat-eating plant is closed, the plant is
A．fooling insects into taking a sip
B．producing nectar
C．tempting insects to come close
D．enjoying a dinner
小題3:Meat-eating plants can grow in wet and poor soil because they .
A．can get nutrition from animals
B．don't need much food nutrition
C．can make the most of such conditions
D．have developed digestive enzymes
小題4:What can be captured by meat-eating plants for food?
A．A child.B．A dog
C．A little bird.D．A little fish.

Women are now as likely to use the Internet as men—about two-thirds of both genders, yet a new study shows that gaps remain in what each sex does online.
American men who go online are more likely than women to check the weather, the news, sports, political and financial information, the Pew Internet and American Life Project reported Wednesday. They are also more likely to use the Internet to download music and software and to take a class.
Online women, meanwhile, are bigger users of e-mail, and they are also more likely to go online for religious information and support for health or personal problems.
“For men, it’s just, ‘give me the facts,’” said Deborah Fallows, who wrote the report based on six years of Pew surveys, “For women, its ‘Let’s talk about this. Are you worried about this problem?’ It’s keeping in touch and connecting with people in a richer way.”
About two- thirds of the 6,403 adults surveyed by Pew during 2005 said they use the Internet. By gender, it was 68%of the male respondents, and 66%of the female participants---a statistically insignificant(不重要的)difference given the study’s margin of sampling error of plus or minus 2%points. In 2002, by contrast, the gap was slightly larger: 61%vs. 57%.
The surveys find that for many activities, such as getting travel information or looking up a phone number, men and women are equally likely to use the Internet.
小題1: According to the passage, which of the following is not what American men who go online do?
A．Checking the weather and the news.B．Searching for religious information.
C．Downloading some music.D．Taking a class.
小題2: What is the probable meaning of the sentence “gaps remain in what each sex does online”?
A．There are some difference between men and women in the US.
B．There is a slight difference between the numbers of men and women online in the US.
C．Men and women in the US have difference tastes about what they do online.
D．Men and women in the US have difference way of surfing the Internet.
小題3:Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A．A small part of women in the US go on line today.
B．Women in the US going on line are only concerned with personal problems.
C．Men are still more likely to use the Internet than women.
D．The gap between both sexes going online in 2002 was slightly larger than that in 2005.
小題4: What’s the author’s purpose of writing the article?
A．To tell us the different aims of men and women in the US who go online.
B．To show why men and women are equally likely to use the Internet.
C．To teach us how to surf the Internet.
D．To offer us some information of both sexes’ going online in the US.

While football fans feel strongly angry and shocked about mistakes made by referees (裁判) because they cannot see clearly what has happened, a small German company is quietly pleased.
For Carlos Technologies, mistakes made by referees are the kind of advertising that money cannot buy. The company has developed a tiny chip(芯片) that fits inside a football and determines whether the ball has crossed the goal line, by being able to discover its exact location on the field. The world football organization, FIFA, has shown interest in the technology. It is very possible that the new technology will be used in the 2006 World Cup in Germany.
"We've been testing the technology at the main soccer stadium in Nuremberg for some time and more recently in an under-17 FIFA Cup in Peru," said Gunter Rohmer, a director of the company. "The technology has performed well, and we're pretty optimistic that it will be used at the games in Germany next year."
The chip only weighs 12 grams, and is placed in the center of the football. It sends 2,000 signals a second to a receiver network of 12 antennas(天線(xiàn)),placed around the field. The receivers then send information about the ball's location to a central computer, and because it works in real time, it can immediately tell the referee whether a goal has been scored. The chip even can tell when the ball crosses the line in mid-air. Oliver Braun, one of the inventors of the chip, says that feedback from German referees was generally positive. Germany sports-wear giant Adidas is also optimistic about using this kind of chip in other ball sports.
FIFA aims to test the technology later this year at another game in Japan before deciding whether or not to introduce it in all 12 stadiums in Germany for next year's World Cup.
小題1: Carlos Technologies is pleased because ________.
A．football fans are angry with referees
B．their new product can satisfy football fans
C．their new product will have a good market
D．they can sell a lot of football in the future
小題2:In the first sentence in Paragraph 2,"... mistakes made by referees are the kind of advertising that money cannot buy" means ___________.
A．Carlos Technologies can't afford the high price for advertising their product
B．Mistakes in production are also a kind of advertisement
C．Carlos Technologies has already spent a lot of money on advertising their product
D．Referees' mistakes will be of great help for the sale of Carlos Technologies' new product
小題3:The underlined word "feedback" probably means ___________.
A．information given back by a userB．a(chǎn)dvice given by someone
C．supplying food to customersD．food given back by consumers
小題4:The new product has drawn attention from some _________.
A．famous peopleB．refereesC．big companiesD．countries

We know the westerners like to plan for their time carefully in order to do all the things that are important to them. So if your American or English friend asks you to dinner, he usually invites you a week ahead. But if you really have no time and can’t go to the dinner, you can ring him to say sorry. The dinner is usually served at home, sometimes at a restaurant. You should get there on time, and don’t forget to put on your fine clothes. It is also a good idea to take some little presents to your friend, such as flowers, chocolates and so on. When you are at dinner, you should also observe (遵守) some other customs. Here I’ll give you some dos and don’ts about them in the following:

●Don’t use your bowl to drink soup, but use your spoon to help you instead.
●Don’t talk with much food in your mouth.
●Don’t ask others to have more wine. (This is quite different from that in China.)
●After dinner, use your napkin(餐巾) to clean your mouth and hands.
●Make sure small pieces of food are not left on your face.
Then after dinner, you can stay there a little time. And your friend will be pleased if you leave in half an hour or so. Next day, you had better ring him up to thank him for the good dinner.
