In-line skating(滾軸溜冰)is a fun sport that everyone can enjoy. Follow these safety tips to keep skating safe and fun.
Step 1: Gear up!
Even before you put on your skates, put on all your safety gear(護(hù)具).
Step 2: Buckle up!
Strap(綁緊)on your skates. Make sure they fit well and are snugly(緊貼)around your ankles. This helps your ankles stay strong and straight.

Step 3: Fall down!
You probably do not usually try to fall. But it is good to practice falling on skates. Fall forward onto your knee pads. Put out your hands and let your wrist guards hit the ground. See? Are you surprised that it doesn’t hurt?
Practice falling until it is easy to fall forward and get up again. If you are not afraid to fall, you will try new things. Knowing how to fall will help you be a better skater and find your balance. When you can stay balanced, you won’t fall as much.
Step 4: Stop!
Make sure you can stop on your skates. The quickest and safest is probably the brake stop. The brake is usually on the back of the right skate.
The brake stop:
Roll forward with your skates pointing the same way. Let your right skate roll a little forward. Bend your knees as if you are sitting down. Then press your right heel down hard. This will make your brake pad drag on the ground until you stop.
The T stop:
Roll forward with your skates pointing the same way. Then turn your right foot out so the toes are pointing to your right. Drag your right skate. Let the wheels drag on the ground until you come to a stop.
Another way to stop is to run or jump onto the grass.
Step 5: Roll around!
Find a flat, smooth place to practice. Do not skate in streets. Parks and playgrounds are good places to practice. Look for “No skating” signs to make sure you can skate there.
小題1:According to the article, which of these steps are most important for a new skater?
A.Learn to fall and stop safely.
B.Find a class and skate fast.
C.Relax and have fun.
D.Buy expensive gear and skates.
小題2:In the step right after “Buckle up!” you should practice how to _____________.
A.skate fastB.brakeC.fall safelyD.put on gear
小題3:To begin a brake stop, you should let your right skate roll forward, bend your knees, and _________.
A.turn your foot
B.press your right heel down
C.put your wrists out in front
D.tighten your skates
小題4:How is the passage organized?
A.It tells stories about skating.
B.It gives descriptions of skates.
C.It uses a question-and-answer form.
D.It gives step-by-step instructions.

小題1:A
小題2:C
小題3:B
小題4:D
本文是學(xué)習(xí)滾軸溜冰的步驟。
小題1:推斷題。根據(jù)Knowing how to fall will help you be a better skater and find your balance.和Make sure you can stop on your skates.可知,學(xué)會(huì)摔跤和停是最關(guān)鍵的。
小題2:根據(jù)Buckle up后面的一個(gè)步驟是“Fall down”,可知答案為C。
小題3:根據(jù)Roll forward with your skates pointing the same way. Let your right skate roll a little forward. Bend your knees as if you are sitting down. Then press your right heel down hard.答案為B。

Most children now chat daily either online or through their mobile phones. They are connecting to a huge number of other children all over the world. Some are shy “in real life” but are confident to communicate with others online; others find support from people of their own age on relationship issues, or problems at home.
Sometimes the online world, just like the real world, can introduce problems, such as bullying or arguments. Going online is great fun, but there are also a few people who use the Internet for offensive(冒犯性的)or illegal aims. Children must be made aware(意識(shí)到的) of both the good things and the dangers.
To keep children safe your management must cover the family computer. Just as you decide which TV programs are suitable, you need to do the same for the websites and chat rooms your children visit. Remind your children that online friends are still strangers. Reminding them of the risks will keep them alert(警惕).
Computer studies are part of schoolwork now, so it’s likely that your children may know more than you do. We get left behind when it comes to the latest gadgets(小玩意)and the interactive areas of websites, like chat rooms and message boards, which are especially strange. The language of chat is strange to many parents, too. Chatters love to use abbreviations(縮寫)such as: atb-all the best, bbfn-bye bye for now, cul8er-see you later, gr8-great, Idk-I don’t know, imbl-it must be love, kit-keep in touch, paw-parents are watching, lol-laugh out loud, xlnt-excellent!
It seems like another language, and it is!

Like every other Olympics, the London 2012 Olympics will depend upon thousands of volunteers to help with the smooth running of the event. To show the importance of the role, London 2012 volunteers are to be called ‘Game Makers’. Lord Coe has said recently: “London 2012 is relying on brilliant Game Makers to help us create a great Olympic and Paralympic Games. ”
London 2012 Olympics volunteers will provide the face of London 2012, working behind the scenes and making sure the games are as well organized, efficient and, most importantly, as enjoyable as possible.

If women are mercilessly exploited year after year, they have only themselves to blame.  Because they tremble at the thought of being seen in public in clothes that are out of fashion, they are always taken advantage of by the designers and the big stores. Clothes which have been worn only a few times have to be put aside because of the change of fashion. When you come to think of it, only a woman is capable of standing in front of a wardrobe packed full of clothes and announcing sadly that she has nothing to wear.
  Changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste. Many women spend vast sums of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn. Women who cannot afford to throw away clothing in this way, waste hours of their time altering the dresses they have. Skirts are lengthened or shortened; neck-lines are lowered or raised, and soon.
No one can claim that the fashion industry contributes anything really important to society. Fashion designers are rarely concerned with vital things like warmth, comfort and durability. They are only interested in outward appearance and they take advantage of the fact that women will put up with any amount of discomfort, as long as they look right. There can hardly be a man who hasn’t at some time in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in a thin dress on a winter day, or delicately picking her way through deep snow in high-h(huán)eeled shoes.
  When comparing men and women in the matter of fashion, the conclusions to be drawn are obvious. Does the constantly changing fashion of women's clothes, one wonders, reflect basic qualities of instability? Men are too clever to let themselves be cheated by fashion designers. Do their unchanged styles of dress reflect basic qualities of stability and reliability? That is for you to decide.
小題1:The writer would be less critical if fashion designers placed more stress on the of clothing
___ .
A.comfortB.a(chǎn)ppearance C.costD.suitability
小題2:According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A.Fashion designs should not be encouraged since they are only welcomed by women.
B.The constant changes in women's clothing reflect their strength of character.
C.The fashion industry makes an important contribution to society.
D.New fashions in clothing are created for the commercial exploitation of women.
小題3:By saying “the conclusions to be drawn are obvious”, the writer means that _____.
A.women’s inconstancy in their choice of clothing is often laughed at
B.women are better able to put up with discomfort
C.men are also exploited greatly by fashion designers
D.men are more reasonable in the matter of fashion

Although credit cards are becoming a more acceptable part of the financial scene, they are still regarded with doubts by many as being a major part of the “l(fā)ive now pay later” syndrome(綜合癥).Along with hire-purchase, rental and leasing schemes(租賃項(xiàng)目), they provide encouragement to spend more money.Of course, it is only the hotheaded who give way to the temptation to live, temporarily at least, beyond their means, and such people would no doubt manage to do so even without credit cards.
Advertising campaigns have, however, promoted a growing realization of the advantages of these small pieces of plastic. They prevent need to carry large amounts of cash and are always useful in emergencies.
All the credit card organizations charge interest on a monthly basis which may work out as high as 25 per cent a year, yet sensible purchasing using a card can mean that you obtain up to seven weeks, interest-free credit.Using the card abroad, where items frequently take a long time to be included on your account, can extend this period even further.
It is worthwhile shopping around before deciding on a particular credit card. It is necessary to consider the amount of credit granted; interest rates, which may vary slightly; the number and range of outlets(經(jīng)銷店), though most cards cover major garages, hotels, restaurants and department stores; and of course, what happens if your card is lost or stolen.A credit card thief may be sitting on a potential goldmine particularly if there is a delay in reporting the loss of the card.
However, if used wisely, a credit card can cost nothing, or at least help to tide you over a period of financial difficulty.
小題1:The hotheaded are people who ________.
A.spend more money than they have
B.spend less money than other people
C.save money
D.make money
小題2:The disadvantage of credit cards is ________.
A.to enable you to buy things without carrying large amount of cash
B.to encourage people to spend more money
C.to be always useful in emergencies
D.to help people tide over a period of financial difficulty
小題3:Deciding on a particular credit, you do not have to consider ________.
A.the amount of credit granted  
B.the number and range of outlets
C.the possibility of loss of money
D.the department stores where you are going to use your credit cards
小題4:The underlined words in the last paragraph probably means ________.

If the rose can be said to be a special flower, then the apple can be said to be a special fruit. It is very important in American culture. American stories speak of Johnny Appleseed, who went throughout America collecting apple seeds and planting apple trees. He had a great love for nature and went through fields and farms adding richness and beauty to the country.
One of the first sayings taught to school children is, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away." This short saying encourages children to eat fresh fruit to keep healthy. If someone always says good words to a person, people will call him an "apple polisher". This, however, is not a good name. If someone is very dear to us, we say that he or she is the "apple of our eye".
Most people believe that the fruit which Eve gave to Adam was an apple, even though the Bible(圣經(jīng)) never says so. The apple, therefore, is a deep part of the language and stories of America.
An apple is also delicious. Apples can be cooked in many ways, used as a dessert (甜點(diǎn)) , and made into sweet juice.
In many parts of the country during the harvest season, a popular activity is to go into an apple garden to pick apples. Washington, D. C. and New York are both famous for their apples.
Finally, when it’s time to take a vacation to American cities, one can always visit New York, which is "the biggest apple" of all the American cities.
小題1:Why was Johnny Appleseed so famous?
A.He had a great love of nature.
B.He liked the American people.
C.He went throughout the country.
D.He collected apple seeds and planted apple trees.
小題2:What does the underlined phrase "apple polisher" mean?
A.Something for cutting apples.
B.A person who likes to please others.
C.A person who is dealing with fruits.
D.A machine for cleaning apples quickly.
小題3:Which of the following is TRUE with apples?
A.Apples are medicine.
B.Apples are the most important food.
C.New York is famous for its big apples.
D.The Bible says Adam was given an apple.
