As I was driving out of the store parking lot, they crossed in front of me．My first reaction was filled with   36  at being delayed for a whole ten seconds．But I quickly became   37  when I realized that it was an elderly   38   ．
The man leaned on his   39  who walked in front of him．He not only used her for   40  but it was obvious that he was blind．The two of them  _41  as one—each needing the other to  42    in this fast-changing world．
That little example of true strength   43  my whole personal perception(理解) of life that day．Suddenly I wasn’t so   44  having to work a few extra hours on Saturdays．I had my    45 ，and I was still   46  young．
That picture of those two elderly people walking with dignity(尊嚴(yán)) and strength   47  me the entire week．My   48  wasn’t so bad after all．I had my health and a good job．I had a wonderful，         49  wife．I started to think—not only was I   50  to have these all, but so was that wonderful old couple，who，_51  the trials and sufferings of a long life，still had the love and support of each other to   52    them through this world．
There are so many people out there just like that couple．My wife and I sometimes   53 ourselves in our old age, walking arm in arm into the sunset. That image always gives us a    54  feeling．Just remember, none of us would be here if it wasn’t for our elders．We all should spend a little extra time and patience,   55  helping our elder friends．

Before discussing different kinds of emotions, let us briefly talk about how researchers   1 bodily processes, actions and behavior, and how this relates to what we do in our daily lives when we observe emotions in  2  .
Bodily processes can be directly measured by   3  of a polygraph. (測謊器)When a polygraph is skillfully used to   4  how we react bodily with what we are   5 , it is called a "lie detector". Bodily processes can also be measured  6 . This is what we do when we observe someone blushing (臉紅). However, we are not always  7  of what bodily processes respond to.
Measuring action   8  behavior is the other way researchers assess the emotions.    9 , one measure of fear of snakes is how  10 a person will go to the snake. Another procedure is to have a person  11  how afraid he is, or how he feels, in this way, researchers have 12  the so-called "fear thermometer" to assess a person’s fear.  13  our everyday living, we do very much the same thing. Only not too   14 . We react to what a person does, what he says, 15  he says it, and how he looks. Is he smiling? Is his voice trembling? We put all this  16  together to infer what a person is feeling.
  17 , we do not always act as we feel. Sometimes we do things that we don’t feel like doing.  18  we say we feel one way and then we act another. Actors, for example, successfully learn to "make believe" emotions, or learn to   19  them. Thus we   20  always tell what a person is feeling by what he says or by what he does.

Drinking Water: Bottled or From the Tap（水龍頭）?
In America, people will include a case or two of bottled water when buying the week's groceries（日用雜貨）．When they are going to a soccer game or activity, it's common for them to grab a cold bottle of water out of the fridge with them．In fact, Americans buy more bottled water than any other nation in the world, about 29 billion bottles a year．
But all these plastic bottles use a lot of fossil fuels and pollute the environment．In order to make all the 29 billion bottles, producers use 17 million barrels of crude oil, which is enough to keep a million cars going for 12 months．
So why don't people drink water straight from the tap? Some people have a strong belief that bottled water is better than water out of the tap, but that's not necessarily true．In the US, the local governments make sure water from the tap is safe．There is also growing concern that chemicals in the bottles themselves may go into the water．
People love the convenience of bottled water．But maybe if they realized the problems it causes, they would try drinking from a glass at home or carrying water in a reusable steel container instead of plastic．
Some argue that plastic bottle recycling can help．Recycled bottles can be turned into items like carpeting or clothing．Unfortunately, only one in six bottles is recycled．The rest make it to landfills（垃圾填坦場） or end as trash in other places．Plastic bottles take hundreds of years for them to disintegrate．
Water is important for you, so keep drinking it．But think about how often you use water bottles, and see if you can make a change．
And yes, you can make a difference．Remember this: Recycling one plastic bottle can save enough energy to power a 60-watt light bulb for six hours．
小題1:How many cars can be kept going for a year by the crude oil used to make 29 billion bottles?
A．100． B．I,000．C．100,000．D．I,000,000．
小題2:Why do Americans prefer bottled water?
A．Bottled water is better than water from the tap．
B．Bottled water is cheaper than water from the tap．
C．Bottled water contains beneficial chemicals in it．
D．Bottled water is more convenient than water from the tap．
小題3:What does the underlined word "disintegrate" in the fifth paragraph probably mean^
A．Be well recycled．B．Become less poisonous．
C．Break into small pieces．D．Go down below a surface．
小題4:The author's intention of writing this passage is to recommend Americans
A．drink more water from the tap
B．send plastic bottles to landfills.
C．use water bottles to power light bulbs
D．buy bottles filled with water from the tap

Barbie(芭比娃娃)，believe it or not，is 50 this year and she's still as popular as ever.A doll is a doll，but Barbie illustrates how，over the last five decades，women have become a standard for judging what freedom really means. How women are treated in different countries tells you a lot about the politics and culture of where they live.
The doll that every little girl wants enables young children to test their possibilities in role playing，giving them a glimpse of what they might be when they grow up，whether to be frivolous or serious (or both)．
But in many countries that's not an option. In Saudi Arabia，where woman can't drive or go out publicly unless covered，Barbie is banned. They think Barbie dolls are offensive to Islam(伊斯蘭教) and a threat to morality.
In America，she represents the swiftly changing roles of women. Barbie is fun to tease but she's as American as miniskirts_and_pantsuits in her flexible identities and her “growth” from model to astronaut.
Barbie inspired a doll­revolution movement. When a Teen Talk Barbie was programmed electronically to say “Math class is tough”，she was criticized by a national women's group and was regarded as a bad stereotype. Some of her critics also say she's a bad influence because she's too thin and encourages anorexia，that she has run through too many stereotypes(固定模式)，and that she lends too much significance to the fantasy stages of child's play.
In some Muslim countries, substitute Barbie dolls have been developed that promote traditional values，with their modest clothing and pro­family backgrounds. They are widely seen as an effort to resist the American dolls that have flooded the market.
Toy seller Masoumeh Rahimi welcomed the dolls，saying Barbie was “foreign to Muslim culture” because some of the dolls have little clothing. She said young girls who play with Barbie，could grow into women who reject Muslim values. “I think every Barbie doll is more harmful than an American missile，”Ms. Rahimi said.
小題1:The writer mentioned “miniskirts and pantsuits”(in Paragraph 4) to imply that ________.
A．these are the only clothes a doll should wear
B．these are very traditional American clothes for women
C．there are a range of different life options available for women
D．readers should wear these clothes more often
小題2:The underlined word “anorexia” (in Paragraph 5) most probably means“________”．
A．a(chǎn)n illness of refusing to eat
B．giving up math study
C．the wearing of inappropriate clothes
D．a(chǎn) decrease in people's imagination
小題3:It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A．children who like Barbie dolls won't be so serious when they grow up
B．Muslim Barbies are the same as American Barbies
C．Muslim societies are generally more conservative than western societies
D．Americans have no worry about Barbie's influence on children

Man, a land animal. But he is also closely tied to the sea. Throughout history the sea has served the needs of man. The sea has provided man with food and a convenient way to travel to many parts of the world. Today, nearly two-thirds of the world’s population live within 80 kilometers of the sea coast.
In the modern technological world, the sea offers many resources to help mankind survive. Resources on land are beginning to be used up. The sea, however, still can be hoped to supply many of man’s needs.
The list of riches of the sea yet to be developed by man’s technology is big. Oil and gas explorations have been carried out for nearly 30 years. Valuable amounts of minerals exist on the ocean floor ready to be mined.
Fish farming promises to be a good way to produce large quantities of food. The culture of fish and shellfish (貝類動物) is an ancient skill practised in the past mainly by Oriental people, including people in China.
Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy. Experts believe that the warm temperature of the ocean can be used in a way similar to the steam in a steamship. Ocean currents and waves offer possible use as a source of energy.
Technology is enabling man to explore ever more deeply under the sea. The development of strong, new materials has made this possible.
The technology to harvest the sea continues to improve. Experts believe that by the year 2020 the problems that prevent us from exploiting（開發(fā)） fully the food, minerals, and energy sources of the sea will be largely solved.
小題1:The major things that the sea offers man are ______.
A．fish and oil
B．minerals and oil
C．warm temperature and ocean currents
D．the food, energy sources, and minerals
小題2:We can conclude from this passage that ______.
A．the sea resources have largely been used up
B．the sea, in the broad sense, has not yet been developed
C．the problems that prevent us from using the food, minerals, and energy sources of the sea have already been solved.
D．by the year 2020, the technology will be good enough to exploit all the sea resources
小題3:The underlined words “Oriental people” in the fourth paragraph probably mean ______.
   
A．the people in AsiaB．African people
C．European peopleD．American people
小題4:The best title for this passage is ______.
A．Sea HarvestB．Sea Food
C．Technology for Exploiting the SeaD．Man and the Sea

It is Saturday afternoon. You and your friends are planning to go to the movies and then spend the night together. Just as you start to get ready, your dad reminds you it is your aunt's birthday and the whole family is going out to dinner to celebrate. How can this possibly end without a huge argument?
One of the greatest sources of tension(緊張情緒)between teenagers and their families is the struggle to balance personal desires with family expectations. As you are getting older, you are becoming more independent and more interested in being with your friends.
However, at the same time，your family is trying to figure out how to deal with these changes. While you once spent most of your free time with your family, you are now often absent from home. Parents may get their feelings hurt. Or they might feel that they are losing control of their family during this period. You might feel angry that so many family demands are placed on you.
There are a few things you can try to make it a little easier to ease(緩解)the tension.
* Make your plans in advance．Ask your parents if there is anything else planned at that time.
* When something with your friends interferes(干擾；沖突)with a family event, try to figure out if there is any way you can do both.
* Suggest something you would really like to do with your family. Sometimes parents feel better just knowing their teenager wants to spend time with them.
Some of the time you won’t be happy with the outcome(結(jié)果). You might either have to disappoint your parents or have to miss out being with your friends. However, if you show consideration(體諒)for the feelings of both your family and your friends, you can solve the problem in a tender way.

London is the capital of the United Kingdom. It has about seven million people. The river Thames runs through London.
People from all over the world visit London to see Buckingham Palace, the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey and the Tower of London. There are many museums, theatres and parks in London, as well as offices and factories. London began as a Roman settlement called Londinium. The plague(瘟疫) came to London in the 1600s, followed by the Great Fire of 1666. The city was badly bombed in World War II.
London is very slowly sinking into its foundations and the level of the river Thames is slowly rising. As a result, extra-high tides could flood a large part of London. To prevent this happening, a great barrier（屏障）has been built across the Thames at Woolwich. If very high tides happen, the barrier can be raised and London will be safe.
小題1:London is the capital of _________, which began as a __________ settlement.
A．England; NormanB．UK; Frenchman
C．Scotland; EnglishD．UK; Roman
小題2:According to the passage, from 1600 to now, ________ great disasters have happened in London.

Birds don’t need lessons in building nests. Fish don’t need coaching to learn how to swim. All animals have instincts. They’re born with natural abilities to do certain things. Wild animals also learn by copying their parents and practicing. And pets learn through training.
But instincts and training aren’t the only keys to animals’ behavior. Scientists say animals’ thoughts and feelings also influence their actions. Animals often make choices, plans, and sensible changes. They can help others and solve problems. Some even make and use tools!
If animals could talk, what would they say about their thoughts and feelings? A gorilla (大猩猩) born in captivity (關(guān)在籠子里) has helped answer that question. Koko, a gorilla, was taught to use sign language . She has learned hundreds of words!
Koko once had a pet cat she named All Ball. “Koko love Ball,” she signed. “Soft good cat.” One time, she blamed the cat for biting her by signing “You bad dirty toilet!” When her pet died, Koko cried. “Sad for sleeping cat,” she signed.
Koko calls herself “fine animal gorilla”. She uses sign language to argue, joke, and ask and answer questions.
“Most animals can’t use words to tell us their thoughts,” says Dr. Jonathan Balcombe. “But Koko shows us that animals have their own ideas and feelings.” Dr. Balcombe is a scientist at the Humane Society of the United States. He says there’s even more to discover about animals through field studies. In field studies, people watch animals in their natural environment.
“Scientists who study animals’ natural behaviors learn how animals live and think,” Balcombe says. “That knowledge can help others respect every animal who shares the planet with us.”
小題1:The underlined word “instincts” in the first paragraph probably refers to the ability that _____.
A．a(chǎn)nimals copy their parentsB．a(chǎn)nimals learn by practicing
C．a(chǎn)nimals are born withD．a(chǎn)nimals learn through training
