Su Hua is studying at Cambridge, UK. She has bought a bicycle and is worried about security. Her friend, Kate, found this article and sent it to her.
Introduction
A lot of crime is against bicycles. About 150,000 bicycles are stolen every year and most are never found. You can prevent this happening by following a few careful steps.
Basic Security
Do not leave your bicycle in out-of-the-way places. Always lock your bicycle when you leave. Secure it to lampposts or trees. Take off smaller parts and take them with you, for example lights and saddles(車座).
Locks
Get a good lock. There are many different types in the shop. Buy one that has been tested against attack. Ask for a recommendation from a bike shop.
Marking
Security marking your bike can act as a deterrent(威懾) to a thief. It can also help the police find your bicycle. It should be clearly written and include your postcode and your house or flat number. This will provide a simple way to identify your bicycle.
Registration
There are a number of companies who will mark your bicycle for you. They will then put your registration number and personal details on their computer database. Then if your bicycle is found it will be easy to contact you.
Finally
Keep a record of the bicycle yourself: its make, model and registration number. You can even take a photograph of it, this will prove the bicycle belongs to you.

You love Jay Chou's songs and you can sing some quite well. So you make a video of your performance and post it online for your friends to see. But what if this led to something beyond your wildest
imagination—a career in music?
Canadian teenager Justin Bieber, 16, has just had the magical experience: He posted homemade videos of his versions of songs by American singer Chris Brown online for his relatives. He received a phone call from Brown, telling him how much he liked his performance. His singing eventually earned him a fan base and a record contract. After releasing a popular record in November 2009, his album My world 2.0 came out last Tuesday.
Bieber sings ballads（民歌）and songs about puppy love. But is he just another gooey (甜膩的) teen idol? David Malitz, a columnist with the Washington Post, doesn't think so. “If we truly want the best forAmerican children, let us pause and give thanks for Justin Bieber，” he writes. “After years of humdrum bubblegum (乏味的搖滾舞曲) from Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers, the 16­year­old has thrown a candy­coated wrench (扭轉(zhuǎn)) into Disney's heartthrob (甜心) assembly line by giving young fans something worth screaming their lungs out for lovable pop songs.”
From a boy who grew up below the poverty line with his divorced mom to a star who caused near­riots (近乎失控) in shopping malls, even Bieber himself can't believe his overnight fame, although his kind of success is becoming more and more common in the Internet era.
Interested in hockey, the national sport of Canada, the boy once put up pictures of players on the walls of his bedroom. He dreamed of being a hockey star and used to practice signing his autograph. He doesn't need practice now. He signs autographs, if the girls can get close enough, as a music star.
小題1:What did Chris Brown think of Justin Bieber's singing?
A．He didn't like it.B．He liked it very much.
C．He didn't say anything.D．He supported Justin Bieber.
小題2:What can we learn from the fourth paragraph?
A．He had a happy family.
B．His family was very poor once.
C．His family was rich.
D．His family helped him a lot.
小題3:What's Justin Bieber's hobby?
A．Singing.B．Hockey.C．Signing.D．Making records.
小題4:What's the best title of the passage?
A．Justin Bieber's overnight singing online.
B．Justin Bieber's common experience.
C．Justin Bieber's life.
D．Justin Bieber's records.

Don’t invite crime--take basic, sensible precautions. Your house and possession are valuable and must be properly protected. When you buy a lock, you buy time --- and this is the one thing a burglar can’t afford. Most thieves are casual opportunists to whom the best deterrents（遏制性因素） are delay and noise which could mean discovery. 
When you leave it, lock it!
First of all, fit security locks to all doors and windows and a safety chain on the front door. Secondly, use them! If you have any ladders or tools, don’t leave them lying about in the garden, lock them away. “Safe” or “secret” places for keys and valuables are not reliable - nine times out of ten, they are the first place a thief will look.
When you move house...
When you move into a new home even if it is fitted with security locks, change them. You don’t know who else may have keys.
Never let strangers into your house. An official - looking cap is not enough, ask for proof of identity and look at it carefully - if you are still not satisfied, don’t let the person in.
Valuables need special protection
Valuables should really be given special protection - preferably by leaving them with your bank. A small security safe works too, but not to the most determined burglar. It is also important to keep an up - to - date list of valuables and their descriptions. In the case of fine art, paintings, or jewelry, color photographs can sometimes be of assistance to the police if you are unfortunate enough to have them stolen. Enter the details on the back of the pictures. But don’t keep such documents in your house, keep them at the hank or with your insurance company.
Going on holiday?
Don’t talk about your holidays and future plans loudly in public. Do remember to cancel the milk and newspapers and also to draw curtains back.
Operate a “Good Neighbor” program to ensure that mail is taken in, the house is checked regularly and that lights are put on.
Call at your local police station and tell them you are going away. Make sure that they know how to contact you in case of trouble.
Don’t leave cash or valuables in the house—take them with you or put them in the bank．
小題1:How should you deal with your ladders or tools?
A．You should leave them in the yard．
B．You should put them in the safe place and lock the door．
C．You should lean them against the tree in the yard．
D．You should take them apart．
小題2:When moving into a new house，you are supposed to_______．
A．stop using the original lock
B．buy a safe
C．never let officials into your house unless he wears an official cap
D．stay away from strangers
小題3:In case of your jewelry being stolen，you should do the following Except__________．
A．taking a color photo of it
B．keep them at the bank
C．keep the picture in your house
D．keep them with your insurance company
小題4:When you are away for holidays，you_________．
A．should cancel your mail
B．shouldn’t leave your keys to your neighbors
C．shouldn’t make it known that your home is empty
D．should ask the police to check your house regularly

Ball Management
Players should always keep a tennis ball in their hand or pocket during a match. Even the most patient tennis players despise waiting for their opponent to find a ball to serve(發(fā)球).
Behavior & Attitude
Even if you’re playing badly, you should not shout or look depressed in a friendly match. Undoubtedly, your attitude affects how you play, so try to have fun and stay positive.
Pace
Do not deliberately slow the game down. Play at the pace of the server and look ready. Servers also should not rush to start each point. You should re-do the point if you serve the ball before the receiver is ready. The receiver is out of luck, however, if he claims he was not ready after making an attempt at returning the serve.
For Spetators(觀眾)
Cheering
While it is seen as proper etiquette(禮儀）to remain silent during the live play, loud and spirited cheers are welcome after a hard-earned point. The players appreciate the recognition for their efforts and are encouraged to continue playing at a high level when the crowd is actively involved.
Leaving and returning to your seat
During live play it’s expected that all spectators will remain seated until the next break between games. Movements in the stands(看臺(tái)) can serve as a distraction(分心的事物) to the players and can also block the view of other audience.
Photography
The issue of camera shutter(快門) noise has earned a lot of attention in golf, but luckily for tennis fans it’s much less of a concern on the court. While the noise produced by the camera is not seen as a major issue, flash photography should be avoided during live play.
小題1:During warm-ups, tennis player ______________.
A．ought to hit a full pace
B．can place their shots anywhere
C．should not practice competitively
D．had better run around the whole court
小題2:According to the text, during tennis matches, _____________________.
A．players can slow the game down when tired
B．players don’t have to keep a ball in their hand
C．the receiver shouldn’t return the serve if not ready

小題3:It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ____________________.
A．flash photography is acceptable on the golf court
B．tennis fans can use flash photography during matches
C．the noise from cameras is not permitted in tennis matches
D．tennis matches require a less degree of quiet than golf ones
小題4:What’s the text mainly about?
A．Some tips for tennis players to win a match.
B．What to do while watching tennis matches.
C．How to behave properly in tennis matches.
D．Rules tennis players must obey in matches.

Have you ever noticed what happens to an idea once you express it？Just talking about it or writing it down causes you to make it clear in your own mind. How can you use this to increase your brain power？Start writing.
By putting thoughts into words，you are telling yourself the logic behind what you think，feel，or only partly understand. Often，explaining a thought is the process of understanding. In other words，you increase your brain power by exercising your “explain power”.
Another benefit of writing is that it helps you remember. Many，if not most，highly productive people are always taking notes. You can try keeping it all in your head，but if you keep a journal(日志)of your ideas the next time you’re working on a big project，you’ll probably have more success.
Want to understand a topic？Write a book about it. That’s an extreme example，but if you are learning something new，write a letter to a friend about it，and you will understand it better. Want to invent something？Write an explanation of the problem—why you want to solve it，and why it is worth solving，and you’re half­way there.
Writers don’t always write because they clearly understand something beforehand. Often，they write about something because they want to understand it. You can do the same. Writing will help bring you to an understanding. Give it a try.
小題1:What would be the best title for the passage?
A．A Way on How to Write
B．Increase Your Brain Power Through Writing
C．Brain Power Helps Improve Your Writing
D．How to Start Your Writing
小題2:According to the passage，writing can help you a lot except________.
A．to increase your brain power
B．to improve the ability to remember
C．to develop your interest in study
D．to strengthen the understanding of a topic

A．has understood it very well
B．needs to understand it better
C．wants to remember it in his or her mind

Cold weather can be hard on pets, just like it can be hard on people. Sometimes owners forget that their cats are just as used to the warm shelter as they are. Some owners will leave their animals outside for a long period of time, thinking that all animals are used to living outdoors. This can put their pets in danger of serious illness. There are things you can do to keep your animal warm and safe.
Keep your pets inside as much as you can when the weather is bad. If you have to take them out, stay outside with them. When you’re cold enough to go inside, they probably are too. If you must leave them outside for a long time, make sure they have a warm, solid shelter against the wind, thick bedding, and plenty of non-frozen water.
If left alone outside, dogs and cats can be very smart in their search for warm shelter. They can dig into snow banks or hide somewhere. Watch them closely when they are left outdoors, and provide them with shelter of good quality. Keep an eye on your pet’s water. Sometimes owners don’t realize that a water bowl has frozen and their pet can’t get anything to drink. Animals that don’t have clean and unfrozen water may drink dirty water outside, which may contain something unhealthy for them.
小題1:What do we learn about pets from Paragraph 1?
A．They are often forgotten by their owners.
B．They are used to living outdoors.
C．They build their own shelters.
D．They like to stay in warm places.
小題2:Why are pet owners asked to stay with their pets when they are out in cold weather?
A．To know when to bring them inside.
B．To keep them from eating bad food.
C．To help them find shelters.
D．To keep them company.
小題3: If pets are left on their own outdoors in cold weather, they may ___.
A．run short of clean waterB．dig deep holes for fun
C．dirty the snow nearbyD．get lost in the wild
小題4:What is the purpose of this text?
A．To solve a problem.

It is often said that you cannot “teach an old dog new tricks”, but three New Zealand dogs have decided to prove otherwise by learning a skill --- driving a car!
What's even more impressive is that the three who have become skilled in just eight weeks are not special dogs that belong to some rich owners, but abandoned ones at New Zealand's SPCA.
To get their training started, 10-month old Porter, 18-month-old Monty and one-year-old Ginny were selected from a pool of seven potential candidates and moved to Animal Q, a talent agency that teaches animals tricks for movies and television shows.
The driving classes began with teaching the dogs some basic driving techniques like turning the steering wheels（方向盤）and applying the brakes. After that the dogs practiced everything they had learnt behind the wheels of a motorized（裝上發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)的）car. Then finally, it was time for the big test--- driving a real car!
Human cars are not really built for four-legged animals, so the car they drove was adjusted so that the dogs could sit comfortably and easily reach the steering wheel with their paws.
Though they all seemed to do very well, the real test came on Monday night when Monty, the best driver of the three, showed his great driving skill on live television.
Why would the SPCA go through so much trouble to highlight the skills of homeless dogs?  The reason is to show that adopting a dog from a shelter does not mean owners are getting a pet that is worse than one purchased from a keeper. The CEO of the SPCA is hoping that this unusual event will be enough to convince the residents of New Zealand to consider them, when searching for a pet.
We surely hope so, meanwhile we are almost certain that these three pioneers have at least landed their names in the Guinness World Records, creating a category that probably does not even exist today!
小題1:Who do the three dogs belong to?
A．Some rich owners.B．Animal Q.C．A shelter.D．A zoo.
小題2:The car the dogs drove was adjusted ______.
A．because is was too big for the dogs to drive
B．because it had no steering wheels and brakes
C．to ensure the dogs could sit comfortably and drive easily
D．to motorize the car and turn it to be a real one
小題3:Which is the right order of the following events?
a. Teaching the dogs some basic driving techniques.
b. Selecting three dogs and moving them to Animal Q.
c. The dogs practiced everything they had learnt in a motorized car.
d. Choosing the best driver to show his great driving skill on live television.
e. Driving a real car.
A．a(chǎn)-b-c- d-eB．b-a-c-e-dC． b- d- a-c-eD．a(chǎn)- e- c-b-d
小題4:Why does the SPCA decide to teach the three dogs to learn to drive a car?
A．To prove old dogs can learn new tricks.
B．To teach them performing tricks for movies and television shows.
C．To provide amusing performances for homeless children
D．To encourage people to adopt the abandoned dogs.
小題5:What can we learn from the passage?
A．A new Guinness category for driving dogs will probably be created.
B．Abandoned dogs are much cleverer than house-kept ones.
C．All the dogs at New Zealand’s SPCA will soon be adopted.
D．New Zealand has the most homeless dogs among all countries

Many blind people use guide dogs to help them get safely from place to place and to warn them of danger. But what can blind people do if they are allergic（過敏的）to dogs or just don’t like them? For some people, the answer is provided by the Guide
Horse Foundation.
Janet and Don Burleson founded the organization in 1999. They began training miniature horses to help guide blind people. Miniature horses look just like regular horses, only much smaller. They are generally less than 34 inches tall.
Cuddles was the foundation’s first guide horse in full service（服務(wù)）. She became 45-year-old Dan Shaw’s helper. Shaw has an eye disease and his sight is very poor. One night, while filling out a form to get a guide dog, Shaw heard a news story on TV about people training horses to guide the blind. Shaw loves horses and wanted a guide animal that would live a long time. He applied（申請(qǐng)）, and a year later, Cuddles and Shaw began training as a team.
On a trip to New York, Cuddles helped Shaw safely tour Times Square, a very busy part of the city at night. The next day, Cuddles calmly rode the elevator with Shaw to the crowded top of the Empire State Building, a famous tall building. Cuddles even guided Shaw on the boat ride to the Statue of Liberty（自由女神像）, and traveled on the subway system.
Shaw says that he is very lucky to have Cuddles. He believes that Cuddles has changed his life for the better by giving him the chance to do things himself and making him feel much more confident about himself.
小題1:The Guide Horse Foundation __________.
A．was set up by one person
B．has different kinds of horses
C．trains horses to guide blind people

小題2: According to the text, miniature horses __________.
A．live a shorter life than guide dogs
B．a(chǎn)re much smaller than regular horses

小題3: We know from the text that Dan Shaw __________.
A．became blind at age 45
B．has a great love for horses
C．heard about guide horses from a friend
D．got a guide horse as soon as he applied
小題4: Cuddles changed Dan Shaw’s life by __________.
