Text messaging, or simply “texting”, with allows people to send and receive messages on mobile phones, becomes very popular today.
The advantages of texting are obvious. Texting helps to save money. If you have a few words to greet your families and friends on their birthdays or on some important festivals, sending messages can be cheaper than phone calling. Texting helps to save time. Even if you want to send a message to 100 people, you can do it one second. Texting helps you to “talk” to someone when he is too busy to answer the phone. Texting can also help you to “talk” to someone secretly if you don’t want others to hear what you are talking on the phone. These advantages are so amazing that many people are crazy about it. They hold mobile phones in hands all day long, send dozens of messages each day, and even text while driving or walking.
However, texting has its disadvantages. Junk messages may come into your mobile phone box now and then. When your phone box gets too full, you can’t receive any more messages. You may therefore miss some important information.
What’s more, if you don’t do texting properly, for example texting while driving or walking, it can be dangerous. It can cause injuries and even death. It was reported that about 6,000 people were killed and half a million were injured for this reason each year. In Fort Lee, a small town in New Jersey, USA, three people died because they walked into traffic while texting in 2011. Two researchers at Stony Brook University, New York found that texters are 60% more probably to have an accident than others. When people are texting, they don’t notice other people or things around them. To reduce traffic accidents, all drivers of the UN are now not allowed to text while driving. About 32 countries have passed laws restricting the use of mobile phones while driving.
Texting is a wonderful way of communication. However, only when we use it properly, can we fully enjoy the fun it brings.
小題1:How many advantages of texting are mentioned in the passage?
A．Two.B．Three.C．Four.D．Five.
小題2:What did the researchers at Stony Brook University find?
A．Texters are easier to have an accident.
B．Texting is a good way of communication.
C．6,000 people were killed and injured.
D．Many people text to greet families and friends.
小題3:The underlined word restricting probably means _________.
A．not tellingB．not allowingC．enjoyingD．making
小題4:This passage is written to tell us that __________.
A．we should do less texting
B．texting has many advantages
C．texting is better than phone calling
D．we should do texting properly

Aggressive pedestrians are in fact as dangerous as careless drivers. They cause traffic accidents, injury and death.
These dangerous walkers can be seen in any big city all over the world. About 69% of last year’s pedestrian deaths in the US occurred in urban areas. They cross streets ignoring “DON’T WALK” signals, suddenly appear without warning from behind parked vehicles, walk slowly at crossroads with cell phones attached to heads, blocking traffic.
These pedestrians and drivers share a common disregard for the rules of the road, both for selfish reasons. The drivers believe in the power of their machines. If their machines can go faster, they believe they have the right to go faster. If their machines are bigger, they believe they have the right to push smaller vehicles aside. Aggressive pedestrians, on the other hand, believe in the primacy(首位) of the individual, the idea that they are first in any environment, under any circumstances, even when they are on foot in a roaring tide of steel and rubber.
Last year, an estimated 5,220 pedestrians died in traffic accidents. Some 69,000 pedestrians were injured. On average, that worked out to one pedestrian killed in a traffic crash every 101 minutes, and one injured every eight minutes.
The good news is that the accident rate is dropping. For example, the number of pedestrians killed last year was 24 percent less than the number killed in traffic accidents a decade earlier. The bad news is that the basic causes of pedestrian deaths remain pretty much the same----disregard for traffic signals, inattention and crossing roads under the influence of alcohol and drugs. Alcohol, in fact, was involved in 46 percent of the traffic accidents that resulted in pedestrian deaths. Of those, 31 percent of the pedestrians were found to be drunk.
The bottom line is that the pedestrians must do more to protect their lives as well as the lives of other road users. They can start by obeying traffic signals, using marked cross-walks and calling a cab when they’ve had too much to drink.
小題1:The passage is mainly about _____.
A．how aggressive pedestrians cause traffic accidents
B．why so many Americans were killed on roads last year
C．what the traffic rules of the road about pedestrians were
D．who are to blame for pedestrian deaths, drunk drivers or the aggressive pedestrians
小題2:What is the pedestrians’ selfish reason for traffic jams?
A．They know all drivers are skilled and with great care.
B．They believe individuals are always first.
C．They think traffic rules have nothing to do with them.
D．They guess all vehicles will slow down at crossroads.
小題3: What was NOT the basic cause of pedestrian deaths in the US a decade ago?
A．Disregard for traffic signalsB．Paying no attention to surroundings.
C．Crossing roads drunk.D．Overspeeding driving.
小題4:What word can best describe the author’s attitude to the traffic accidents caused by pedestrians?
A．Excited.B．Cold.C．ConcernedD．Unconnected.

Hanukkah
Hanukkah (光明節(jié)) is a Jewish festival. It is celebrated on the 25th day of the Jewish month of Kislev (猶太教歷), which is usually sometime in December. It is often called the festival of lights. The festival celebrates the time, over 2,000 years ago, when the Jewish people fought against an emperor who would not let them follow their own traditions and religion. When the Jewish people won back their temple in Jerusalem, they found there was only enough holy oil to keep the sacred light burning for one day. However, to their surprise, this small amount of oil kept the light burning for eight days and nights, until the people had time to make more oil.
At the center of the Hanukkah celebrations is a candlestick (called a Menorah) that holds nine candles. On the first night of Hanukkah the first candle is lit, and each day this candle is used to light another candle, until on the eighth day, the last day, all the candles are lit. During Hanukkah, people go to the synagogue (猶太教堂) to pray and to remember the miracle (奇跡) of the holy oil. Hanukkah is a time for family and friends to come together. People exchange gifts and greeting cards, and children go to parties. Parents often give their children money at Hanukkah. Potato cakes, called latkes, are a traditional Hanukkah food.
小題1:For how many days does Hanukkah last?
A．7B．10C．9D．8
小題2:According to the passage, what is necessary when celebrating Hanukkah nowadays?
A． Candles. B．Money.C．OilD．Cards.
小題3:What does the Menorah remind Jewish people about?
A．The war that they fought 2,000 years ago.
B．The God that they honored best.
C．The miracle of the holy oil that happened 2,000 years ago.
D．The church they built 2,000 years ago.
小題4:The passage mainly tells us about _____.
A．the history of Hanukkah and how it is celebrated
B．why Jewish people celebrate Hanukkah
C．why Jewish people protect their traditions
D．the miracle of the holy oil in the Jewish temple

The evidence for harmony （ 和諧）may not be obvious in some families. But it seems that four out of five young people now get on with their parents, which is the opposite of the popularly-held image(形象) of unhappy teenagers locked in their room after endless family quarrels.
An important new study into teenage attitudes surprisingly shows that their family life is more harmonious than it has ever been in the past. "We were surprised by just how positive today's young people seem to be about their families," said one member of the research team. "They're expected to be rebellious(叛逆的) and selfish but actually they have other things on their minds; they want a car and material goods, and they worry about whether school is serving them well. There's more negotiation(商議) and discussion between parents and children, and children expect to take part in the family decision-making process. They don't want to rock the boat."
So it seems that this generation of parents is much more likely than parents of 30 years ago to treat their children as friends. "My parents are happy to discuss things with me and willing to listen to me," says 17-years-old Daniel Lazall. " I always tell them when I'm going out clubbing. As long as they know what I'm doing, they're fine with it." Susan Crome, who is now 21, agrees. "Looking back on the last 10 years, there was a lot of what you could call negotiation. For example, as long as I'd done all my homework, I could go out on a Saturday night. But I think my grandparents were a lot stricter with my parents than that."
Maybe this positive view of family life should not be unexpected. It is possible that the idea of teenage rebellion is not rooted in real facts. A researcher comments, "Our surprise that teenagers say they get along well with their parents comes because of a brief period in our social history when teenagers were regarded as different beings. But that idea of rebelling and breaking away from their parents really only happened during that one time in the 1960s when everyone rebelled. The normal situation throughout history has been a smooth change from helping out with the family business to taking it over."
小題1:According to the author, teenage rebellion ________.
A．resulted from changes in families
B．is common nowadays
C．may be a false belief
D．existed only in the 1960s
小題2:What is the passage mainly about?
A．Education in family
B．Harmony in family
C．Teenage trouble in family
D．Negotiation in family
小題3:The study shows that teenagers don't want to ________.
A．go boating with their family
B．share family responsibility
C．make family decisions
D．cause trouble in their families
小題4:Compared with parents of 30 years ago, today's parents ________.
A．care less about their children's life
B．go to clubs more often with their children
C．give their children more freedom
D．a(chǎn)re much stricter with their children

I don’t ever want to talk about being a woman scientist again. There was a time in my life when people asked constantly for stories about what it’s like to work in a field dominated (控制) by men. I was never very good at telling those stories because truthfully I never found them interesting. What I do find interesting is the origin of the universe, the shape of space-time and the nature of black holes.
At 19, when I began studying astrophysics, it did not bother me in the least to be the only woman in the classroom. But while earning my PhD at MIT and then as a post-doctor doing space research, the issue started to bother me. My every achievement --- jobs, research papers, awards --- was viewed through the lens of gender (性別) politics. So were my failures.
Then one day a few years ago, out of my mouth came a sentence that would eventually become my reply to any and all annoyance. I don’t talk about that any more. It took me 10 years to get back the confidence I had at 19 and to realize that I didn’t want to deal with gender issues. After all, I don’t study sociology or political theory.
Today I research and teach at Bamard, a women’s college in New York City. Recently, someone asked me how many of the 45 students in my class were women. You cannot imagine my satisfaction at being able to answer 45. I know some of my students worry how they will manage their scientific research and a desire for children. And I don’t dismiss those concerns. Instead, I have given them this: the visual of their physics professor heavily pregnant doing physics experiments. And in turn they have given me the image of 45 women driven by a love of science. And that’s a sight worth talking about.
小題1:Why doesn’t the author want to talk about being a woman scientist again?
A．She is unhappy working in male-dominated fields.
B．She is fed up with the issue of gender discrimination.
C．She is not good at telling stories of the kind at all.
D．She finds space research more important than that.
小題2:We learn from Paragraph 2 that people would contribute the author’s failures to _______.
A．the very fact that she is just a woman
B．her involvement in gender politics
C．the very fact that she is just a scientist
D．her over-confidence as a female scientist
小題3:Why does the author feel satisfied when talking about her class?
A．Female students no longer have to bother about gender issues.
B．Her students’ achievement has brought back her confidence.
C．Her female students can do just better than male students.
D．More female students now love science than before.
小題4:What does the image that the author presents to her students suggest?
A．Women students needn’t have the concerns of her generation.
B．Women have more troubles on their way to academic success.
C．Women can balance a career in science and having a family.
D．Women now have no problems pursuing a science career.

Earlier, in the old days, women used to sit at home separated from the outside world. They used to manage the home and look after children. They were free of the responsibility of earning money to support the family, which was left to men.
With the coming of industrialization (工業(yè)化) and technological development, the lifestyles of human beings started to change. The needs of human beings started to grow. In this process, women slowly started to move outside the home. Women received the same education as men. Gradually, women slowly started to think independently and participated equally with men in all fields of life, including politics, sports and even military.
With changing environments, the role of women has become more important in society. To match today’s standard of living, it is necessary for both men and women to support the family.
Today, women have been given bigger roles to play in society. They are even taking more responsibility than men. At first, men disagreed with women pursuing (追求) their careers outside the home. However, with growing needs and a shortage of money, they had no other way but to accept the reality.
The financial contributions from women to their families have increased, but in some places, the home is still managed only by women as in the past. It is a challenging task for women to manage both. Women are bearing the stress and suffering mental difficulties with both managing the home and pursuing their careers.
小題1:The best title for the passage would be _________.
A．Women's Responsibility in SocietyB．The Changing Social Environments
C．The Changing Role of Women in SocietyD．Women's Financial Contributions
小題2:Earlier in the old days, women used to do the following EXCEPT _________.
A．wash clothesB．prepare dinners
C．look after childrenD．make money for the family
小題3:We can infer from the last paragraph that ______.
A．women don't need to manage the home today
B．women are taking more responsibility than before
C．men still disagree with women pursuing their careers
D．men have begun to do more housework than women

Millions of British people have ditched the traditional “thank you” and replaced it with the less formal “cheers”, according to a survey.
Although the average person will say “thank you” nearly 5,000 times a year, one in three are more likely to throw in a “cheers” or “ta” where it’s needed, rather than risk sounding old fashioned.
One in 20 now say “nice one” instead, while younger generations are more likely to offer a “cool” than a “thank you”. “Merci”, “fab” and even “gracias” were also listed as common phrases to use, as was “much appreciated”.
One in twenty who took part in the survey of 2,000 people by the Food Network UK for Thank You Day, which is marked on November 24, 2011, said a formal “thank you” was now not often needed in everyday conversation. More than one in ten adults said they regularly wouldn’t say “thank you” if they were in a bad mood.
Most people declared that saying “thank you” was something drilled into them by their parents. A huge 70 percent of those questioned will say “thank you” to a person’s face without even meaning it, while a fifth avoid saying it when they know they should — on at least two occasions every day.
It seems our friends and family get the brunt (壓力) of our bad manners with half admitting they’re not good at thanking those closest to them — many justifying (為……辯解) the lack of thanks because their family “already know I’m grateful”.
When spoken words won’t do, it falls to a nice text to do the job for most people. A thank you email is also popular, while a quarter turn to social networks to express gratitude. A quarter of British people say thank you with food, with 23 percent cooking a meal to show their appreciation to someone. Another 15 percent bake a cake. A third will still send a handwritten thank-you note — but 45 percent admit it’s been more than six months since they bothered to send one.
It follows that 85 percent of people will be annoyed at not getting the gratitude they feel they should receive. 
小題1:Most of the people who took part in the survey say that they say “thank you” _____.
A．when they are in good moodB．completely out of habit
C．when they feel truly grateful D．purely out of politeness
小題2:The underlined word “ditched” in Paragraph 1 means “_____”.
A．a(chǎn)bandonedB．usedC．sharedD．grasped
小題3:It can be learned from the passage that _____.
A．different ways of expressing gratitude are all fashionable
B．people should avoid saying “thank you” nowadays
C．a(chǎn) thank-you note is still appreciated by most people
D．people in a bad mood never say “thank you”
小題4:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Most people express their gratitude to others by buying food for them.
B．About fifty percent of people try not to say thank you when they should.
C．Most people may feel natural when they fail to receive others’ gratitude.
D．Many people think it unnecessary to say thanks to their family members.

Millions of Americans return from long-distance trips by air, but their luggage doesn’t always come home with them. Airline identification tags（標(biāo)簽） can come loose, and the bags go who-knows-where. And passengers leave all kinds of things on planes.
The airlines collect the items and, for 90 days, attempt to find their owners. They don’t keep them, since they’re not in the warehouse business. And by law, they cannot sell the bags, because the airlines might be tempted to deliberately misplace luggage.
So once insurance companies have paid for lost bags and their contents, and they no longer belong to passengers, a unique store in the little town of Scottsboro, Alabama, buys them. The “Unclaimed Baggage Center,” is so popular that the building, which is set up like a department store, is the number-one tourist attraction in all of Alabama. More than one million visitors stop in each year and take one of the store’s shopping carts on a hunt for treasures.
Each day, clerks bring out 7,000 new items, and veteran（老練的）shoppers rush to paw over them. You can find everything from precious jewels to hockey sticks, best-selling novels, leather jackets, tape recorders, surfboards, even half -used tubes of toothpaste.
The store’s own laundry washes or cleans all the clothes found in luggage, then sells them. The Unclaimed Baggage Center has found guns, illegal drugs and even a live rattlesnake.
The store has a little museum where some of its most unusual acquisitions（獲得物） have been preserved. They include highland bagpipes, a burial mask from an Egyptian pharaoh's tomb, and a medieval suit of armor.
Statistics indicate that less than one-half of one percent of luggage checked on U.S. carriers is permanently lost and available to the store.
小題1:Paragraph1 shows that many passengers lose their luggage because______.
A．they are forgetful
B．the owners of some luggage can’t be identified
C．they are in a hurry
D．there is no lost and found office in many airports
小題2:The reason why the airlines cannot sell the bags is that ______.
A．they have to find the owners
B．they have to keep the bags as long as possible
C．some bags are expensive
D．they are likely to make a profit on the bags on purpose
小題3:The Unclaimed Baggage Center is very popular because______.
A．visitors may purchase something undervalued.
B．a(chǎn)ll thethings there are very cheap.
C．there's a large variety of goods.
D．visitors will enjoy some amusing activities there.
小題4:What can we infer from the passage?
A．A little museum will keep all the precious unclaimed baggage.
B．The things in the Unclaimed Baggage Center are articles for daily use.
C．The percentage of passengers who lose their baggage for ever is small.
D．People are not allowed to buy the illegal things in the store.
小題5:What is the main purpose of the passage?
A．To introduce an attractive place to tourists.
B．To remind passengers of taking care of their baggage.
C．To advise the airlines to find the owners of the unclaimed baggage.
D．To introduce how the unclaimed baggage in the airports is handled in America.
