You can not see any object unless light from that object gets into your eyes. Some of the things you see give off light of their own. The sun, the stars, a lighted lamp are examples that can be seen by their own light. Such things are luminous. Most of the things you see are not giving off light of their own. They are simply reflecting light that falls on them from the sun or some other luminous bodies. The moon, for example, does not give off any light of its own. It is non-luminous. You see it because sunlight falls on it and some of it reflects in our direction. So moon light is only second hand sunlight.
When you look at a book, it sends to your eyes some of the light which falls on it, and you see the book. If light could be kept out from where you are so that there would be no light for the book to reflect, then you could not see the book even with your eyes wide open.
Light travels so fast that the time in which it travels from the book you are reading to your eyes is so short as if there were no time at all. Light reaches us from the moon, which is about 380 000 kilometers away, in only a little more than a second.
小題1:You can see the book because_______.
A．your eyes are close to it B．it reflects some of the sunlight
C．it has light of its ownD．your eyesight can get to it
小題2:The underlined word “l(fā)uminous” means_______.
A．visibleB．a(chǎn)ll colorsC．giving off lightD．sunlight
小題3:________ have light of their own.
A．The sun and the moonB．The stars and the earth
C．The sun and the starsD．The moon and the earth
小題4:Which of the following is true?
A．All the things you can see give off light.
B．Light from the book is much shorter than that from the moon.
C．The moment you open your eyes the light from the book travels to your eyes.
D．Light travels so fast that there is no time for you to read.

Women are on their way to holding more than half of all American jobs. The latest government report shows that their share of nonfarm jobs nearly reached fifty percent in September.
Not only have more and more women entered the labor market over the years, but the depression has been harder on men. In October the unemployment rate for men was almost eleven percent compared to eight percent for women.
Industries that traditionally use lots of men have suffered deep cuts. For example, manufacturing and building lost more jobs last month. But health care and temporary employment services have had job growth. Both of those industries employ high percentages of women.
Thirty years ago, women earned sixty-two cents for every dollar that men earned. Now, for those who usually work full time, women earn about eighty percent of what men earn. And women hold fifty-one percent of good-paying management and professional jobs.
Yet a study released Thursday said men still hold about nine out of every ten top positions at the four hundred large companies in California. The results have remained largely unchanged in live years of studies from the University of California, Davis.
Also, a new research paper in the journal Sex Roles looks at the experiences of women who are the main earners in their family. Rebecca Meisenbach at the University of Missouri in Columbia interviewed fifteen women. She found they all valued their independence and many enjoyed having the power of control, though not all wanted it.
But they also felt pressure, worry and guilt. Partly that was because of cultural expectations that working women will still take care of the children. Also, men who are not the main earners may feel threatened.
The job market continues to suffer the effects of last year’s financial crash. Now, a judgment has been reached in the first case involving charges of criminal wrongdoing on Wall Street.
Last week, the government lost its case against two managers at Bear Stearns, the first investment bank to fail last year. A jury found Ralph Cioffi and Matthew Tannin not guilty of lying to investors.
The hedge funds they supervised lost their value in two thousand seven. But jurors said there was no clear evidence that they meant to mislead investors.
The Justice Department continues to investigate other companies.
小題1:Why is the unemployment rate for men higher.
A．Because there are more men workers in industries.
B．Because many industries mainly employing men now don’t need so many workers.
C．More and more women take the place of men.
D．Because health care and temporary employment services don’t employ men.
小題2:It can be inferred from the passage that __________.
A．women haven’t got complete equality as men
B．only by becoming the main earners in their family can women gain a high position
C．a(chǎn)ll women now value independence and the power of control
D．taking care of children is now shared by men and women
小題3:Which of the following is TRUE?
A．Men hate that women earn more money.
B．It is commonly believed that women should take care of children.
C．The job market has recovered from the effect of the financial crisis.
D．Now women working full time earn more than men.
小題4: Why does the government accuse two managers?
A．They contributed to the financial crash.B．They led a corrupt life.
C．They lied to investors.D．A jury found them misleading investors.

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．

According to some researchers, you should not praise children for everything that they do. It does not help them build self-confidence.
Most parents and teachers agree that praise can help increase children’s self-confidence —the more, the better. However, according to some researchers, only proper praise is good for children. If adults praise everything children do, it makes children look for praise all the time, not trying to do their best. "Teachers should not say things like ’good job’ or ’nice work’ whenever a child does anything. They should encourage them to continue to improve," some researchers advise.
Another idea is that children with high self-confidence are happier, and do better at school. About this, Marshall Duke, a researcher in children, says, "High self-confidence brought in by too much praise does not make children happier, get more, or become able to do more. Finding a child’s advantages (強項) and developing them can help build confidence more than too much praise can." Praise also loses its effect (影響) if it is given equally to all students.
"It’s important to tell children the truth about what they’ve done. Honest feedback (反饋) is far better than empty praise," Duke adds. "People have got into the habit of not telling children when they’re wrong. That makes it hard for them to deal with difficulties when they grow up. That’s just how the world is."
小題1:According to some researchers, if parents praise their children too much, their children will ______.
A．a(chǎn)lways look for praise
B．increase self-confidence
C．become strong
D．do better in their studies
小題2: In order to help children build self-confidence, some researchers advise parents to ______.
A．make them live more happily
B．let them do more difficult work
C．help them do better in school
D．encourage them to improve
小題3:Which of the following is TRUE, according to the passage?
A．Praise makes children become successful.
B．Children don’t know what they’re really good at.
C．The same praise for all children has no meaning.
D．Duke thinks praise is more important than finding children’s strengths.
小題4: What is the last paragraph about?
A．It’s important to have the habit of praising children.
B．Children should know their mistakes as soon as possible.
C．We should praise children honestly and tell them their mistakes.
D．What children with high self-confidence are like.

If you’re planning on traveling, there are a few simple rules about how to make life easier both before and after your journey.
First of all, always check and double-check departure (起程) time. It is amazing how few people really do this carefully. Once I arrived at the airport a few minutes after ten. My secretary had got the ticket for me and I thought she had said that the plane left at 10:50. When I arrived at the airport, the clerk at the departure desk told me that my flight was closed. Therefore, I had to wait three hours for the next one and missed an important meeting.
The second rule is to remember that even in this age of credit cards, it is still important to have at least a little of the local currency(貨幣) with you when you arrive in a country. This can be necessary if you are flying to a place few tourists normally visit. A few years ago I was sent to Tulsa, Oklahoma. I flew there from London via(經(jīng)由)Dallas, with very little time to change planes in between. I arrived there at midnight and the bank at the airport was closed. The only way to get to my hotel was by taxi and because I had no dollars, I offered to pay in pounds instead.
“Listen! I only take real money!” the driver said angrily. Luckily I was able to borrow a few dollars from a clerk at the hotel, but it was embarrassing (令人難堪的).
The third and last rule is to find out as much as you can about the weather at your destination before you leave. I feel sorry for some of my workmates who travel in heavy suit and raincoats in May, when it is still fairly cool in London or Manchester, to places like Athens, Rome or Madrid, where it is already beginning to get quite warm during the day.
小題1: According to the passage, it’s obvious that______
A．The author learns some rules of traveling from his own experience.
B．The author doesn’t plan his trips or journeys carefully.
C．Englishmen like to wear heavy suits wherever they travel
D．The America taxi driver never travels to England.
小題2:What should you make sure first before setting off?
A．When you will leave.B．Where you will go.
C．How you will travelD．Whom you will go with.
小題3:According to the passage, the driver was angry because_______
A．the author gave him false money
B．the author did not give him the local currency
C．the author did not give him money
D．the author had no enough change
小題4:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．The author tells people to choose warm places as their travel destinations.
B．You don’t have to take credit cards when traveling.
C．You should know more about the weather of the place you’ll visit.
D．You should take enough change when you travel to other countries.
小題5:What is the main idea of the passage?
A．A few simple rules about how to make life easier both before and after your journey.
B．Always check and double-check departure time.
C．It is important to have the local currency with you when you arrive in a country.
D．To find out as much as you can about the weather at your destination before you leave.

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?

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
