    The most common complaint about cellphones is that people talk on them to the annoyance of people around them. But more damaging may be the cellphone’s interruption of our thoughts.
    We have already entered a golden age of little white lies about our cellphones, and this is in generally a healthy, protective development. “I didn’t hear it ring” or “I didn’t realize my phone had shut off” are among the lies we tell to give ourselves space where we’re beyond reach.
    The concept of being unreachable is not new – we have “Do Not Disturb” signs on the doors of hotel rooms. So why must we feel guilty when it comes to cellphones? Why must we apologize if we decide to shut off the phone for a while?
    The problem is that we come from a long-established tradition of difficulty with distance communication. Until the recent mass use of cellphones, it was easy to communicate with someone next to us or a few feet away, but difficult with someone across town, the country or the globe. We came to take it for granted.
    But cellphones make long-distance communication common, and endanger our time by ourselves. Now time alone, or a conversation with someone next to us which cannot be interrupted by a phone, is something to be cherished. Even cellphone devotees, myself usually included, can’t help at times wanting to throw their phones away, or curse this invention.
    But we don’t and won’t, and there really is no need. That we have the right to take back our private time is a general social recognition.
    In other words, we don’t have to pay too much attention to the rings of our own phones. Given the ease of making and receiving cellphone calls, if we don’t talk to the caller right now, we surely will shortly later.
    A cellphone call deserves no more importance than a word from the person next to us. Though the call on my cellphone may be the one-in-a-million from Steven Spielberg–who has finally read my novel and wants to make it his next movie. But most likely it is not, and I’m better off, thinking about the idea I just had for a new story, or the slice of pizza I’ll eat for lunch.

    小題1:.
    What does the writer think about people telling “white lies” about their cellphones?
    A.It is a way to show that you don’t like the caller.
    B.It is natural to tell lies about small things.
    C.It is basically a good way to protect one’s privacy.
    D.We should feel guilty when we can’t tell the truth.
    小題2:.
    What is the meaning of the underlined word “devotees” in Paragraph 5?
    A.people who enjoy something. B.people who are bothered.
    C.people who hate something.D.people who are interrupted.
    小題3:.
    . According to the author, what is the most annoying problem caused by cellphones?
    A.People are always thinking of the cellphone rings so that they fail to notice anything else.
    B.Cellphones interrupt people’s private time.
    C.People feel guilty when they are not able to answer their cellphones.
    D.With cellphones it is no longer possible to be unreachable.
    小題4:.
    . What does the last paragraph suggest?
    A.A person who calls us from afar deserves more of our attention.
    B.Steven Spielberg once called the author to talk about the author’s novel.
    C.You should always finish your lunch before you answer a call on the cellphone.
    D.Never let cellphones disturb your life too much.

    Some people argue that the pressures on international sportsmen and sportswomen kill the spirit of sport: the pursuit (追求) of personal excellence. Children kick a football around for fun. When they get older and play for local school teams, they become competitive but they still enjoy playing. The sportsman representing his country cannot afford to think about enjoying himself, he has to think only about winning. He is responsible for an entire nation’s hopes and dreams.
    A good example is the football World Cup. Football is the world’s most important sport. It is even more important now that the United States is seriously taking it up. Winning the World Cup is perhaps eh greatest of international sporting success. Mention “ Argentina ” to someone and the chances are that he’ll think of football. In a sense, winning the World Cup “ put Argentina on the map ”.
    Sports fans and supporters get quite irrational about the World Cup. People in England felt that their country was somehow important after they won the World Cup. Last year thousands of Scots sold their cars, and even their houses, and spent all their money traveling to Argentina, where the finals were played.
    So am I arguing that international competitions kill the idea of sport? Certainly not! Do the Argentineans really believe that because eleven of their men proved the most skillful at football, their nation is better than all others? Not really. But it’s nice to know that you won, and that in one way at least your country is best.
    小題1:What is mainly discussed in this passage is _________.
    A.why international sport is necessary
    B.what international sport is like
    C.how international sport goes on
    D.what disadvantages international sport has
    小題2:Those who are against international competitions think that ________.
    A.sport should not be so popularB.sport should not be competitive
    C.sport should be for personal purposeD.sport should be made easier
    小題3:We can infer from the passage that the underlined word “ irrational ” means_________.
    A.a(chǎn)gainst reasonable behaviorB.having much knowledge
    C.unable to understandD.eager to know
    小題4:What does the writer mean by saying that winning the World Cup “ put Argentina on the map”_____
    A.Argentina has the best football player
    B.Argentina has become world-famous for football
    C.Football is very popular in Argentina
    D.Argentina has begun to pay much attention to football

    The Luck of the Irish
    Look at a map of Britain, and the island on the left is Ireland. It’s a small but beautiful country with a long tradition of folk music. Up until 10 years ago just about the only thing that Ireland was famous for was its specialty black beer.
    Now Ireland is famous around the world for its music with names like "Kenya","U2" ,"Van Morrison"and more recently "the Corers". "Boyzone",one of the world's top boy bands ,is from Ireland too.What's more,Boyzone member shane has twin sisters,Adele and Heavy,who are members of "B Witched"
    The "Boyzone"story is interesting because they were created in 1993 by Dublin nightclub owner John Reynolds.They advertised in newspapers to find members for the group and 300wannabe pop stars applied!
    Ronan,who was just 17 when he dropped out of school to make his bid for stardom,and shane,who had been working as trained mechanic in his father's garage when he left to join Boyzone,were both lucky enough to be chosen. The other members are shoe-shop attendant stephen lately,former mechanic Mike Graham and one-time clothes store assistant Keith Dully.
    Many people expect bands that have been created by the music industry to produce boring music which doesn't become popular. Even the boys themselves knew they the would not easily achieve international pop music success.
    Boyzone quickly proved that they were more than just pretty faces and have sold millions of records around the world.At the moment ,they are not big stars in America,but they say that will change,when they begin a tour of the United States.
    Ronan will shortly also start recording as a solo artist. That does not mean the band will spilt yet,but we can expect Boyzone to split sometime in the next 18 months or so.Ronan has also recently become involved as one of the managers of new Irish boy band "West Life" whose song "Swear It Again"has recently been Number 1 in the British charts.
    小題1:Ireland is famous for         now.
    A.its black beerB.its long tradition
    C.popular musicD.its scenery
    小題2:The words “wannabe pop stars” in the third paragraph mean      .
    A.the pops who want to join the band
    B.the persons who want to become pop stars
    C.the pop stars who want to become more popular
    D.the persons who want to be as famous as they are
    小題3:Boy zone was formed by       members in 1993.

    小題4:Acording to the passage, we know that        .
    A.Boy zone will split some day

    It is not clear who first fried potatoes in hot oil. However, it is widely agreed that French fries(炸薯?xiàng)l) were prepared as early as the 1700s in Europe. Most people believe that it was the Belgians (比利時(shí)人), instead of the French, who invented “French”fries. They think that French fries got this name from the cooking word “to french” --- to cut green beans into long thin strips (條).
    When Thomas Jefferson traveled to France, he enjoyed the deep-fried potatoes very much and brought them home with him. Ever since he served French fries to his guests at a Whitehouse dinner in 1802, the dish has become very popular in America.
    In the summer of 1853, an American Indian called George Crum worked as a cook at Moon Lake Lodge, a hotel in Saratoga Springs, New York. He was good at making French fries. One evening, a dinner guest found Crum’s French fries too thick and sent them back to the kitchen. Crum then cut and fried some thinner French fries, but these, too, were met with disapproval. This time, the cook got angry. So he decided to play a trick on the guest. He finally made fries that were too thin to eat with a fork. To his surprise, the guest loved the browned, paper-thin chips. The browned chips, then called Saratoga Chips, became one of the most popular dishes of the hotel. Soon they were being sold, first in local restaurants, then throughout New England.
    小題1:The French fries were believed to be introduced to America in _________________________.
    A.the early 1700sB.the early1800s
    C.the early 1900sD.the summer of 1853
    小題2:By saying “these, too, were met with disapproval” in Paragraph 3, the author means that __________________.
    A.the guest still didn’t like the dish
    B.the French fries were thin enough
    C.the cook prepared the chips carefully
    D.the cook had met the guest’s need
    小題3:How were Saratoga Chips invented?
    A.They were introduced by Thomas Jefferson.
    B.A guest told a cook how to make the chips.
    C.A cook made them only to play a trick on a guest.
    D.A cook invented them in order to attract more guests.
    小題4:Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
    A.America’s Favorite FoodB.Who Invented Saratoga Chips?
    C.George Crum --- a Clever CookD.The History of French Fries
