Whether you will be a doctor or a police officer in the future, there’s a teacher in your life. They teach you and help you know who you are? Of course, you want to thank them.
Teachers’ Day is the perfect chance for students around the world to thank their teachers. The festival falls on different days in different countries.
In China, Teachers’ Day is on September 10. But in the US, teachers have a whole week to celebrate. Teacher Appreciation Week is in the first full week of May every year. Kids used to bring apples for their teachers because apples are healthy. Now, they bring gifts with pictures of apples, such as cups, picture frames（框架） and teddy bears. Some students also make DIY gifts for their teachers. During the week, school clubs often offer teachers a free breakfast of coffee and pastries.
The South Korean Teachers’ Day is on May 15. Many students offer flowers to their teachers. Another traditional gift is a card. Thousands of students prepare personalized cards and give them to their favorite teachers.
Although different countries have different Teachers’ Days, there’s one day for the whole world to honor teachers. On October 5 of every year, over 100 countries, such as Canada and the Philippines, express their thanks by celebrating World Teachers’ Day. UNESCO started the day in 1994. It wants to remind people of the importance of teaching.

MySpace, the social networking website, is different from other websites which only provide stories about other people. MySpace is a place that allows you to broadcast your own stories and personal information to as many people as you like. Started two years ago, it is a big source of information for and about American kids.
Teenagers and their parents feel very differently about it. Teens are rushing to join the site, not sharing their parents' worries. It signals yet another generation gap in the digital era.（數(shù)字時代）
For teenagers, it is reliable network to keep in touch with their friends. They will often list their surnames, birthdays, after­school jobs, school clubs, hobbies and other personal information.
“MySpace is an easy way to reach just about everyone. I don't have all the phone numbers of all my acquaintances （熟人）. But if I want to get in touch with one of them, I could just leave them a message on MySpace.” said Abby Van Wassen. She is a sixteen ­year­ old student at Woodland Hills High of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Parents on the other hand are seriously concerned about the security problems of MySpace.
“Every time we hold a parents meeting, the first question is always about MySpace，” said Kent Gates, who travels the country doing Internet safety seminars (研討會)．The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children has received at least 288 MySpace­ related complaints, according to Mary Beth Buchanan, a lawyer in Pittsburgh.
“Your profile on MySpace shows all your personal information to anyone on the Web. And MySpace even lists this information by birthplace and age. It's like a free checklist（清單）for troublemakers and it endangers children，” Buchanan said.
小題1:From the passage we can learn that MySpace ________.
A．brings about the generation gap
B．is very careful about people's privacy
C．encourages you to list your personal information
D．lists the telephone numbers of your friends
小題2:Why are some parents against MySpace?
A．Because MySpace has a bad influence on their children.
B．Because they don't want to pay so much money for MySpace.
C．Because it takes up too much of their children's spare time.
D．Because troublemakers can easily approach their children through the site.
小題3:The writer's attitude towards MySpace is ________.
A．negativeB．positiveC．optimisticD．objective
小題4:Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A．Internet safetyB．MySpaceC．Generation gapD．The digital era

Almost a decade ago, the federal government dropped $10 million for an Earth-monitoring satellite that never made it into space. Today it sits in a closet in Maryland. Cost to taxpayers for storing it: $1 million a year. And that's just what's hiding in one closet. Who knows what's in the rest of them?
Because we think the government should be held to at least the same standards as a publicly traded company, and because as taxpayers, we're America's shareholders, we performed an audit （財務(wù)檢查）of sorts of the federal books. We're not economists, but we do have common sense. We tried to get help from Congressional staffers from both parties, as well as various watchdog groups and agencies. In the end, we found that the federal government wastes nearly $1 trillion every year.
That's roughly equal to the amount collected annually by the Internal Revenue Service in personal income taxes. Put another way, it's also equal to about one-third of the country's $2.9 trillion total annual budget. And reclaiming that lost trillion could help wipe out the country's annual budget deficit（赤字）, improve education, and provide health insurance for those who don't have it.
So how do you define "waste"? David Walker of the Government Accountability Office (GAO), a federal watchdog agency, calls it "the government's failure to give taxpayers the most for their money." For our part, we used the kind of household test you would use on a piece of meat sitting in your refrigerator: If it smells rotten, it's waste. Our government regularly pays for products and services it never gets, wildly overpays companies to do things it could do more cheaply itself, loses money outright due to lax（不嚴(yán)格的）accounting and oversight, and spends money randomly on unnecessary programs.
How exactly does the federal government waste your hard-earned tax dollars? We've identified what we consider ten of the worst ways.
小題1:The underlined sentence in Paragraph1 really means        .
A．there are many other closetsB．there are some other satellites
C．there is something else in the closetsD．the waste may be quite amazing
小題2:Which of the following can best describe the feeling of the author?
A．Annoyed.B．Calm.C．Surprised.D．Not concerned.
小題3:Which of the following statements may be right?
A．The country’s annual budget is usually decided by the public.
B．The government failed in launching the satellite.
C．The government is only wasting money in space experiments.
D．The amount collected annually in personal income taxes is equal to the country’s budget.
小題4:The best title for the passage would be        .
A．Protecting Our Rights!
B．Our Country Is In Danger!
C．The Government Is Wasting Our Tax Dollars!
D．How to Prevent Government from Wasting Money!
小題5:What might be talked about if the passage is continued?
A．The government’s taking some steps to stop wasting taxes.
B．Presenting people’s feelings against the government’s wasting taxes.
C．Giving suggestion to help the government solve the financial problem.
D．Listing how the government is wasting taxes.

“Have a nice day!” may be a pleasant gesture or a meaningless expression. When my friend Maxie says “have a nice day” with a smile, I know she sincerely cares about what happens to me. I feel loved and secure since another person cares about me and wishes me well.
“Have a nice day. Next!” this version of the expression is spoken by a salesgirl at the supermarket who is rushing me and my groceries out of the door. The words come out in the same tone (腔調(diào))with a fixed procedure. They are spoken at me, not to me. Obviously, the concern for my day and everyone else’s is the management’s attempt to increase business.
The expression is one of those behaviors that help people get along with each other. Sometimes it indicates the end of a meeting. As soon as you hear it, you know the meeting is at an end. Sometimes the expression saves us when we don’t know what to say. “oh, you just had a tooth out? I’m terribly sorry, but have a nice day.”
The expression can be pleasant. If a stranger says “Have a nice day!” to you, you may find it heart-warming because someone you don’t know has tried to be nice to you.
Although the use of the expression is an insincere, meaningless social custom at times, there is nothing wrong with the sentence except that it is a little uninteresting. The salesgirl, the waitress, the teacher, and all the countless others who speak it without thinking may not really care about my day. But in a strange and comfortable way, it’s nice to know they care enough to pretend they care when they really don’t care all that much. While the expression may not often be sincere, it is always spoken. The point is that people say it all the time when they like.
小題1:How does the author understand Maxie’s word?
A．Maxie shows her anxiety to the author.
B．Maxie really wishes the author a good day.
C．Maxie encourages the author to stay happy.
D．Maxie really worries about the author’s security.
小題2:What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?
A．The salesgirl is rude.B．The salesgirl is bored.
C．The salesgirl cares about me.D．The salesgirl says the words as a routine.
小題3:By saying “Have a nice day,” a stranger may______.
A．try to be polite to youB．express respects to you
C．give his blessing to youD．share his pleasure with you.
小題4:According to the last paragraph, people say “Have a good day” __________
A．sincerelyB．a(chǎn)s thanksC．a(chǎn)s a habitD．encouragingly
小題5:What is the best title of the passage?
A．Have a Nice Day---- a Social Custom
B．Have a Nice Day----- a pleasant Gesture
C．Have a Nice Day----- a heart-warming Greeting
D．Have a Nice Day----- a polite ending of a Conversation

In my opinion, there is only one legitimate (合法的) handgun sport and that is aim practice. It is practiced at objects which are properly monitored and usually quite safe. Only certain handguns are true “sporting weapons”, seen as such by the sport’s lovers.
On the other hand, shooting at tin cans and other small objects in one’s backyard is not and should not be considered a serious sport. When uncontrolled, it can be a very dangerous practice.
Some opponents (反對者) of handgun control have stated that we are out to stop all hunting and that controlling the handgun would severely affect hunting. That is simply untrue. Handgun control would in no way limit the freedom of the true hunter. Few if any hunters consider the handgun an effective hunting weapon.
There are a few hunters who do hunt with handguns, but most states place restrictions (限制) on the type of guns that can be used in hunting, the reason is that killing of game should be done in as humane (人道的) a way as possible. Some small handguns are more likely to wound the animal rather than kill it at once. Only long guns, rifles and shotguns are effective arms of hunting.
People must understand that handguns and hunters are separate matters. Because most of the hunters use a rifle or shotgun, there is no reason why their search for game and sport should be affected by handgun control. Mixing the anti-hunting matter with the handgun matter confuses the killing of animals with killing of people.
小題1:In the writer’s opinion, people should use handguns only when           .
A．hunters shoot at animals
B．they aim at a criminal
C．objects are under control
D．objects are only small tin cans in the backyard
小題2:According to the writer, hunting is not affected by handgun control because         .
A．hunters can use knives rather than guns to hunt animals
B．state government encourages hunters to use other guns
C．nobody cares what weapons are used to kill animals
D．most hunters use rifles rather than handguns
小題3:This passage mainly talks about           .
A．the relation between hunting and handgun control
B．the importance of aim practice
C．how handgun control affects hunting
D．different types of guns used in hunting

Endangered languages are languages that wouldn’t exist any longer, much like endangered species of plants or animals. Languages are considered to be endangered when parents are no longer teaching the language to their children and are not using it actively in everyday life. A language is considered to nearly disappear when it is spoken by only a few elderly native speakers.
The world faces enormous challenges in order to protect different kinds of languages. Of the more than 6,912 languages, half may be in danger of disappearing in the next several decades.
It is caused by many reasons: small numbers of speakers, the regular use of other languages, attitudes towards their languages, moving of the younger population, government policies, and languages used in education and so on. A language may lack important things such as a body of literature, and people who read and write it. A language may also lack prestige (聲望) and support of its speakers.
The survival of a language is also threatened when speakers move to other areas where different languages are spoken, or when government policies improve the use of a specific language in school, official business and the media. These situations encourage people to learn the wider-known language and may cause them, especially the young, to stop using their mother tongue. Often those speaking lesser-known languages will choose to learn a more prestigious language with the hope of greater economic opportunities. Most of the world’s parents are teaching their children English, French, Spanish, Chinese, Arabic, Russian or some other main languages instead of their own languages for social and economic reasons.
小題1:What’s the main idea of this passage?
A．Languages in the world.
B．Reasons why languages become endangered.
C．What an endangered language is.
D．Languages spoken by few speakers.
小題2:About ________languages will probably disappear in this century according to the passage.
A．more than 6,912B．more than 3,456C．6,912D．less than 3,456
小題3:Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?
①=Paragraph1   ②=Paragraph2  ③=Paragraph3  ④=Paragraph4

小題4:We can infer that the best way to maintain an endangered language is to _________.
A．forbid the speakers to move about
B．pass laws to protect the language
C．raise the salaries of the people who speak the language
D．teach the language to young children and encourage people to speak it often
小題5:All of the following about languages are true EXCEPT __________.
A．many languages will be probably endangered in this century
B．government policies have a big effect on languages
C．the endangered language is a language that is spoken by a few people
D．languages are related to their speakers’ social and economic position
