A spiraling (成螺旋形的) tower made from thousands of books in dozens of languages is the later landmark in Buenos Aires, named the World Book Capital this year.
Called the Tower of Babel, the 25-meter high tower by Argentina's artist Marta Minujin is made from 30, 000 books, donated by readers, libraries and more than 50 embassies.
Climbing up its seven floors, visitors to the tower hear music composed by Minujin and the voice of the artist repeating the word "book" in scores of languages.
"Building this tower is really a wonder," Minujin said, standing before the structure as curious passersby looked at a downtown city square. "A hundred years from now, people will say 'there was a Tower of Babel in Argentina... and it didn't need translation because art needs no translation'."
Minujin, who worked with US artist Andy Warhol, built a full-scale mode of the Parthenon in Buenos Aires in 1983, using books banned by the military dictatorship (专政) that ended that year.
This year's book tower marks Buenos Aires' naming as the 2011 World Book Capital by the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
"We've been laying books for 10 days straight, " said Sebastian Atienza, 26, who works for the company that built the tower under Minujin's command. "But it's worth it. It's where all languages come together."
When the exhibit ends later this month, Minujin said literature lovers will be allowed to come and pick one book each. The rest will be brought down to start a new archive (档案馆) that has already been named The Library of Babel, the name of a story by Argentina's most famous author, Jorge Luis Borges.
According to the passage, the Tower of Babel __________.

After the book exhibition, most books will be __________.

The passage is probably taken from a (n) __________.

You just think you know what will make you happy. Researchers in the new science of happiness know better. They have evidence that married people on average end up being no happier than they were before the wedding. Winning the lottery (彩票) will probably reduce your pleasure in ordinary events that used to make you happy. And being in good health isn't as much of a factor as the right genes when it comes to satisfaction.
Soligman and Diener studied 222 Illinois college students to find out what the happiest 10% had in common. It turned out they were extroverts (外向的人), had more friendships and romantic relationships, but didn't exercise more and didn't feel they had more good events in their lives than those who weren't as happy.
Some of the results come as a surprise. A classic study of lottery winners and people with spinal (脊骨) cord injuries, for instance, found that neither event changed their lives as much as observers thought they would.
Gilbert is looking into how accurately people predict what will make them happy, which turns out, not accurately at all. What we think will bring us pleasure—a new car, the home team winning the NCAA championship, a move to California—usually doesn't bring us as much as we expected, and the positive impact doesn't last as long. The good news is that we also overestimate the impact of catastrophic (悲惨的) events. Even with data from research pouring in, scientists still don't have an easy answer to what we all want to know: How do I get long-term life satisfaction? The answers they do have are often the same ones that philosophers and priests have been giving us for centuries. It's just nice to have them backed up with hard data.
What does the passage mainly discuss?

The happiest people have the following characters except that __________.

According to the passage, we can know if the hurricane happens, it will cause __________.

Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

I learnt about the Pygmalion effect (皮格玛丽翁效应) when I was 7 years old at Riverdale School in Palmerston North and I copied Melissa Crawford's answers in a spelling test. Before that I was average at school but after that, because Melissa Crawford was smart, and I got all the right answers, I got put in all the smart kids groups.
From then I did really well at school because it was believed by the teachers that I would and I also got grouped with the smart kids. This experience that occurred at my primary school shows just how important the Pygmalion effect is in terms of being around mentors (导师) that expect that you're going to do well and also being around people who are smart.
The Pygmalion effect is one principle you want to use if you want to make money fast. Have mentors that expect you will make money fast and as an extra boost hang around, copy and learn from other people who are also making money fast.
Yesterday this site had over 5, 000 unique visitors and the traffic to it is increasing all the time. A year ago I contacted a group of people who got lots of traffic in their sites and I learnt from them. Truthfully I don't know if they expected me to start getting decent traffic to websites but I imagined they did so they might as well have.
So there you have it—the Pygmalion effect.
P. S. My grammar and spelling are not that great nowadays but that's actually completely irrelevant (不相关的) when it comes to getting lots of visitors to your site.
When did the author learn about the Pygmalion effect?

The author got grouped with the smart kids because __________.

What does the underlined word "contacted" mean in the passage?

Dayron Robles of Cube was disqualified (取消资格) of his mark and the title in the men's 110m hurdles final for disruption (中断，破坏) of the event after the Chinese team made an appeal on Monday "night at the Daegu worlds."
In the breath-taking final, Robles and Chinese legend Liu Xiang were neighbors in Lane 5 arid Large 6, respectively. After the starting gun fire, the two world's fastest-ever hurdlers were almost running neck to neck in the first eight hurdles and took the lead.
In the ninth hurdle, however, Robles, right trailing hand was seen hitting on Liu's left hand. As a result, Liu's rhythm was disturbed and his blistering pace slowed down. Right before the tenth and final hurdle, Robles made further hand contact with Liu, who tripped on the hurdle.
An official with the IAAF told reporters that the Daegu track referee council has decided to disqualify Robles, mark and it was unknown whether the Cuban team would appeal.
Before the disqualification, Robles won the 110m hurdles in 13. 14 seconds, followed by Jason Richardson with 13.16 seconds. Liu Xiang finished third in 13.27 seconds.
Robles, in a televised interview, admitted that he didn't like his technique in Monday night's game and he was tangling with Liu over the last hurdle.
Liu said he "felt like someone touched my elbowand I lost my balance for a while but then I managed to stabilize it".
A member of Liu's coach team had told Xinhua right after the game that the Chinese Athletics Association might appeal for the disruption. While Liu told reporters that he didn't care about the color of the medal.
Daegu on Monday night sees the first Championship clash of hurdling's current big three—Robles, Liu Xiang and 2011's fastest man David Oliver of USA.
They are also the three fastest men in the history of the event—Robles, 12.87 seconds, Liu 12.88, Oliver 12.89. The 110m hurdle final is their first meeting in a final at a global championship.
Who won the gold medal after the disqualification?

Robles admitted in an interview that __________.

There is an English saying that goes, "he who laughs last, laughs the hardest." High School Musical star Zac Efron is laughing a lot these days.          , because he was always the smallest in his class and was laughed at because he had a big space between his teeth. In sixth grade, Efron's basketball team made it to the league championships. In double overtime (两个加时赛), with three seconds left, he rebounded the ball and passed it to the wrong team!          
         Now at 21, Efron is one of People magazine's 100 Most Beautiful People, graces (荣登) the cover of Entertainment Weekly, Hollywocxl's most influential magazine, and is traveling the world promoting the third High School Musical film. Director Adam Shankman described Efron as "arguably the biggest teen star in America right now." Simply google "Zac Efron", and you get more than 14 million responses. Yes, it seems Efron has a lot to smile about these days.
Efron was born and raised in California.           According to Efron, "he would flip out (发疯) if he got a B and not an A in school, and that he was a class clown." It was his father who encouraged him to act.          He also took singing lessons. He graduated from high school in 2006 and was accepted at the university of Southern California to study film. But he put it off—why study movies when you can star in them. Efron has risen all the way to the top of the movie business. And he can now laugh all the way to the bank.

E. He took school seriously.
F. They scored and his team lost the game.
G. Asa young boy, Efron was picked 叫 (欺负) by his classmates.

Dear Mary,
How are you? Today I've got a wonderful news to tell you. I have offered a scholarship at a university in Australia for my further education. One hundreds and twenty students took exams but only a few was chosen and I was one of them. However, my parents are not happy about it. They are strong against me going there. They say it is too far away that they will not see me for a whole year and they are afraid I will feel lonely. They couldn't imagine a girl so young living alone. They advise me to study in the capital instead. Then I'll be able to continue living with us. Why can I persuade them to accept the fact I have grown up?
Best Wishes
Jane
