The teenage year from 13 to 19 were the most difficult time for me . They were also the best and worse years in my life . At the first, I thought I knew everything and could make decisions by yourself. However, my parents didn ^'t seem to think such. They always tell me what to do and how to do it. At one time , I even felt my parents couldn't understand me so I hoped I could be freely from them. I showed them I was independent by wear strange clothes. Now I am leaving home to college. At last, I will be on my own, but I still want to have my parents to turn to whenever need help.

In much of Asia,especially the so-called＂rice bowl＂ cultures of China,Japan,Korea, 41Vietnam,food is usually eaten with chopsticks.

Chopsticks are usually two long,thin pieces of wood or bamboo.They can also be made of plastic,animal bone or metal.Sometimes chopsticks are quite artistic.Truly elegant chopsticks might 42 (make)of gold and silver with Chinese characters.Skilled workers also combine various hardwoods and metal 43 (create)special designs.

The Chinese have used chopsticks for five thousand years.People probably cooked their f ood in large pots,    44 (use)twigs( 树枝 )to remove it.Over time, 45 thepopulation grew,people began cutting food into small pieces so it would cook more quickly.

Food in small pieces could be eaten easily with twigs which 46(gradual)turned into chopsticks.

Some people think that the great Chinese scholar Confucius, 47 lived from roughly 551 to 479 B.C.,influenced the 48 (develop)of chopsticks.Confucius believed knives would remind people of killings and 49 (be)too violent for use at the table.

Chopsticks are not used everywhere in Asia.In India,for example,most people traditionally eat 50their hands.

When I was13 my only purpose was to become the star on our football team.That meant 21 Miller King,who was the best 22 at our school.

Football season started in September and all summer long I worked out.I carried my football everywhere for    2 3 .

Just before September,Miller was struck by a car and lost his right arm.I went to see him after he came back from 24 .He looked very    25 ,but he didn ^'t cry.

That season,I 26 all of Miller`srecords while he 27the home games from the bench.We went 10-1 and I was named most valuable player, 28 I often had crazy dreams in which I was to blame for Miller's 29 .

One afternoon,I was crossing the field to go home and saw Miller 30 going over a fence-which wasn't 31 to climb if you had both arms.I'm sure I was the last person in the world he wanted to accept 32 from.But even that cha l lenge he accepted.I 33 him move slowly over the fence.When we were finally 34 on the other side,he said to me, ＂ You know,I didn't tell you this during the season,but you did 35 .Thank you for filling in for 36 . ＂

His words freed me from my bad 37.I thought to myself,how even without an arm he was more of a leader.Damaged but not defeated,he was 38ahead of me. I was right to have 39him.From that day on，I grew 40and a little more real.

Everyone knows that fish is good for health. 16But it seems that many people don't cook fish at home. Americans eat only about fifteen pounds of fish per person per year, but we eat twice as much fish in restaurants as at home. Buying, storing, and cooking fish isn't difficult. 17 This text is about how to buy and cook fish in an easy way.

   18 Fresh fish should smell sweet: you should feel that you're standing at the ocean's edge. Any fishy or strong smell means the fish isn't fresh. 19 When you have bought a fish and arrive home, you'd better store the fish in the refrigerator if you don't cook it immediately, but fresh fish should be stored in your fridge for only a day or two. Frozen fish isn't as tasty as the fresh one.

There are many common methods used to cook fish. 20First, lean it and season it with your choice of spices(调料). Put the whole fish on a plate and steam it in a steam pot for 8 to 10 minutes if it weighs about one pound. (A larger one will take more time.) Then, it's ready to serve.

A．	Do not buy it.
B．	The easiest is to steam it.
C．	This is how you can do it.
D．	It just requires a little knowledge.
E．	The fish will go bad within hours.
F．	When buying fish, you should first smell it.
G．	The fats in fish are thought to help prevent heart disease.

Bad news sells. If it bleeds, it leads. No news is good news, and good news is no news. Those are the classic rules for the evening broadcasts and the morning papers.But now that information is being spread and monitored(监控) in different ways, researchers are discovering new rules. By tracking people's e-mails and online posts, scientists have found that good news can spread faster and farther than disasters and sob stories.

"The 'if it bleeds' rule works for mass media," says Jonah Berger, a scholar at the University of Pennsylvania. "They want your eyeballs and don't care how you're feeling. But when you share a story with your friends, you care a lot more how they react. You don't want them to think of you as a Debbie Downer."

Researchers analyzing word-of-mouth communication-e-mails, Web posts and reviews, face-to-face conversations-found that it tended to be more positive than negative(消极的), but that didn't necessarily mean people preferred positive news. Was positive news shared more often simply because people experienced more good things than bad things? To test for that possibility, Dr. Berger looked at how people spread a particular set of news stories: thousands of articles on The New York Times' website. He and a Penn colleague analyzed the "most e-mailed" list for six months. One of his first findings was that articles in the science section were much more likely to make the list than non-science articles. He found that science amazed Times' readers and made them want to share this positive feeling with others.

Readers also tended to share articles that were exciting or funny, or that inspired negative feelings like anger or anxiety, but not articles that left them merely sad. They needed to be aroused(激发) one way or the other, and they preferred good news to bad. The more positive an article, the more likely it was to be shared, as Dr. Berger explains in his new book, "Contagious: Why Things Catch On."

12 .What do the classic rules mentioned in the text apply to?

A．	News reports.	B．	Research papers.
C．	Private e-mails.	D．	Daily conversations．

13.What can we infer about people like Debbie Downer?

A．	They're socially inactive.
B．	They're good at telling stories.
C．	They're inconsiderate of others.
D．	They're careful with their words.

14.Which tended to be the most e-mailed according to Dr. Berger's research?

A．	A . Sports new.	B．	Science articles.
C．	Personal accounts.	D．	Financial reviews.

15 .What can be a suitable title for the text?

A．	Sad Stories Travel Far and Wide
B．	B .Online News Attracts More People
C．	Reading Habits Change with the Times
D．	Good News Beats Bad on Social Networks

If you are a fruit grower-or would like to become one-take advantage of Apple Day to see what's around.

It's called Apple Day but in practice it's more like Apple Month. The day itself is on October 21, but sinceit has

caught on, events now spread out over most of October around Britain.

Visiting an apple event is a good chance to see, and often taste, a wide variety of apples. To people who are used to the limited choice of apples such as Golden Delicious and Royal Gala in supermarkets, it can be quite an eye opener to see the range of classical apples still in existence, such as Decio which was grown by the Romans. Although it doesn't taste of anything special, it's still worth a try, as is the knobbly(多疙瘩的) Cat's Head which is more of a curiosity than anything else.

There are also varieties developed to suit specific local conditions. One of the very best varieties for eating quality is Orleans Reinette, but you'll need a warm, sheltered place with perfect soil to grow it, so it's a pipe dreamfor most apple lovers who fall for it.

At the events, you can meet expert growers and discuss which ones will best suit your conditions, and because these are family affairs, children are well catered for with apple-themed fun and games.

Apple Days are being held at all sorts of places with an interest in fruit, including stately gardens and commercial orchards(果园).If you want to have a real orchard experience, try visiting the National Fruit Collection at Brogdale, near Faversham in Kent.

8.What can people do at the apple events?

A．	Attend experts' lectures.	B．	Visit fruit-loving families.
C．	Plant fruit trees in an orchard.	D．	Taste many kinds of apples.

9.What can we learn about Decio?

A．	It is a new variety.	B．	It has a strange look.
C．	It is rarely seen now.	D．	It has a special taste.

10.What does the underlined phrase "a pipe dream" in Paragraph 3mean?

A．	A practical idea.	B．	A vain hope.
C．	A brilliant plan.	D．	A selfish desire.

11.What is the author's purpose in writing the text?

A．	To show how to grow apples.
B．	B .To introduce an apple festival.
C．	To help people select apples.
D．	To promote apple research.

On one of her trips to New York several years ago, Eudora Welty decided to take a couple of New York friends out to dinner. They settled in at a comfortable East Side cafe and within minutes, another customer was approaching their table.

"Hey, aren't you from Mississippi?" the elegant, white-haired writer remembered being asked by the stranger. "I'm from Mississippi too."

Without a second thought, the woman joined the Welty party. When her dinner partner showed up, she also pulled up a chair.

"They began telling me all the news of Mississippi," Welty said. "I didn't know what my New York friends were thinking."

Taxis on a rainy New York night are rarer than sunshine. By the time the group got up to leave, it was pouring outside. Welty's new friends immediately sent a waiter to find a cab. Heading back downtown toward her hotel, her big-city friends were amazed at the turn of events that had changed their Big Apple dinner into a Mississippi.

"My friends said: 'Now we believe your stories,'" Welty added. "And I said: 'Now you know. These are the people that make me write them.'"

Sitting on a sofa in her room, Welty, a slim figure in a simple gray dress, looked pleased with this explanation.

"I don't make them up," she said of the characters in her fiction these last 50 or so years. "I don't have to."

Beauticians, bartenders, piano players and people with purple hats, Welty's people come from afternoons spent visiting with old friends, from walks through the streets of her native Jackson, Miss., from conversations overheard on a bus. It annoys Welty that, at 78, her left ear has now given out. Sometimes, sitting on a bus or a train, she hears only a fragment(片段) of a particularly interesting story.

5.What happened when Welty was with her friends at the cafe?

A．	Two strangers joined her.
B．	Her childhood friends came in.
C．	A heavy rain ruined the dinner.
D．	Some people held a party there.

6.The underlined word "them" in Paragraph 6 refers to Welty's＿＿＿＿.

A．

readers

B．

parties

C．

friends

D．

stories

7.What can we learn about the characters in Welty's fiction?

A．	They live in big cities.
B．	They are mostly women.
C．	They come from real life.
D．	They are pleasure seekers.

On a bright, warm July afternoon, MacHollan, a primary school teacher, was cycling from his home to Alaska with his friends. One of his friends had stopped to make a bicyclerepair, but they had encouraged Mac to carry on, and they would catch up with him soon. As Mac pedaled( 骑行)

along alone, he thought fondly of his wife and two young daughters at home. He hoped to show them this beautiful place someday.

Then Mac heard quick and loud breathing behind him. "Man, that's a big dog!" he thought. But when he looked to the side, he saw instantly that it wasn't a dog at all,but a wolf:, quickly catching up with him.

Mac's heart jumped. He found out his can of hear spray. With one hand on the bars, he fired the spray at the wolf. A bright red cloud enveloped the animal, and to Mac's relief, it fell back, shaking its head. But a minute later, it was by his side again. Then it attacked the back of Mac's

bike, tearing open his tent hag. He fired at the wolf a second time, and again, it fell back only to quickly restart the chase（追赶）。

Mac was pedaling hard now. He waved and yelled at passing carsbut was careful not to show down. He was a steep uphill climbbefore him. He knew that once he hit the hill, he'd be easy caught up and the wolf's teeth would be tearing into his flesh.

At this moment, Pauland Beeky were driving their car on their way to Alaska. They didn't think much of it when they saw two cyclists repairing their bike on the side of the road. A bit later, they spotted what they, too, assumed was a dog running alongside a man on a bike. As they got closer, they realized that the dog was a wolf. Mac heard a large vehicle behind him. He pulled in front of it as the wolf was catching up fast, just a dozen yards away now.

How to Do Man-on-the-Street Interviews

The man-on-the-street interview is an interview in which a reporter hits the streets with a cameraman to interview people on the sport. _____31_____But with these tips, your first man-on-the-street interview experience can be easy.

 When your boss or professor sends you out to do man-on-the-street interviews for a story, think about the topic and develop a list of about ten general questions relating to it. For example, if your topic is about environmental problems in America, you might ask, "Why do you think environmental protection is important in America?" _____32_____

 Hit the streets with confidence. _____33_____Say, "Excuse me, I work for XYZ News, and I was wondering if you could share your opinion about this topic." This is a quick way to get people to warm up to you.

Move on to the next person if someone tells you she is not inter

Don't get discouraged.

● 34 Each interview that you get on the street shouldn't be longer than ten minutes. As soon as you get the answer you need, move on to the next person. Make sure that as you go from interview to interview, you are getting a variety of answers. If everyone is giving you the same answer, you won't be able to use it. A safe number of interviews to conduct is about six to ten. 35

● If your news station or school requires interviewees to sign release forms to appear on the air, don't leave work without them.

A．	Limit your time.
B．	As you approach people, be polite.
C．	If you don't own a camera, you can buy one.
D．	For new reporters, this can seem like a challenging task.
E．	To get good and useful results, ask them the same question.
F．	That number of interviews should give you all the answers you need.
G．	With a question like this, you will get more than a "Yes" or "No" reply.

FLORENCE, Italy-Svetlana Cojochru feels hurt. The Moldovan has lived here seven years as a caregiver to Italian kids and elderly, but in order to stay she's had to prove her language skills by taking a test which requires her to write a postcard to an imaginary friend and answer a fictional job ad.

Italy is the latest Western European country trying to control a growing immigrant(移民) population by demanding language skills in exchange for work permits, or in some cases, citizenship.

Some immigrant advocates worry that as hard financial times make it more difficult for natives to keep jobs, such measures will become a more vehicle for intolerance than integration(融合). Others say it's only natural that newcomers learn the language of their host nation, seeing it as a condition to ensure they can contribute to society.

Other European countries laid down a similar requirement for immigrants, and some terms are even tougher. The governments argue that this will help foreigners better join the society and promote understanding across cultures.

Italy, which has a much weaker tradition of immigration, has witnessed a sharp increase in immigration in recent years. In 1990, immigrants numbered some 1.14 million out of Italy's then 56.7 million people, or about 2 percent. At the start of this year, foreigners living in Italy amounted to 4.56 million of a total population of 60.6 million, or 7.5 percent, with immigrants' children accounting for an even larger percentage of births in Italy.

Cojochru, the Moldovan caregiver, hoped obtaining permanent residence(居住权) would help her bring her two children to Italy; they live with her sister in Moldova, where salaries are among the lowest in Europe. She was skeptical that the language requirement would encourage integration.

Italians always "see me as a foreigner," an outsider, even though she's stayed in the country for years and can speak the local language fluently, she said.

28. Why does Cojochru have to take a language test?

A．	To continue to stay in Italy.	B．	To teach her children Italian.
C．	To find a better job in Italy.	D．	To better mix with the Italians.

29. Some people worry that the new language requirement may ________.

A．	reduce Italy's population quickly	B．	cause conflicts among people
C．	lead to financial difficulties	D．	put pressure on schools

30. What do we know about Cojochru?

A．	She lives with her sister now in Italy.
B．	She enjoys learning the Italian language.
C．	She speaks Italian well enough for her job.
D．	She wishes to go back to her home country.

Getting less sleep has become a bad habit for most American kids. According to a new survey(调查) by the National Sleep Foundation, 51% of kids aged 10 to 18 go to bed at 10 pm or later on school nights, even though they have to get up early. Last year the Foundation reported that nearly 60% of 7- to 12-year-olds said that they felt tired during the day, and 15% said they had fallen asleep at school.

How much sleep you need depends a lot on your age. Babies need a lot of rest: most of them sleep about 18 hours a day! Adults need about eight hours. For most school-age children, ten hours is ideal(理想的). But the new National Sleep Foundation survey found that 35% of 10- to 12-year-olds get only seven or eight hours. And guess what almost half of the surveyed kids said they do before bedtime? Watch TV.

"More children are going to bed with TVs on, and there are more opportunities(机会) to stay awake, with more homework, the Internet and the phone," says Dr. Mary Carskadon, a sleep researcher at Brown University Medical School. She says these activities at bedtime can get kids all excited and make it hard for them to calm down and sleep. Other experts say part of the problem is chemical. Changing levels of body chemicals called hormones not only make teenagers' bodies develop adult characteristics, but also make it hard for teenagers to fall asleep before 11 pm.

Because sleepiness is such a problem for teenagers, some school districts have decided to start high school classes later than they used to. Three years ago, schools in Edina, Minnesota, changed the start time from 7:25 am to 8:30 am. Students, parents and teachers are pleased with the results.

25. What is the new National Sleep Foundation survey on?

A．	American kids' sleeping habits.	B．	Teenagers' sleep-related diseases.
C．	Activities to prevent sleeplessness.	D．	Learning problems and lack of sleep.

26. How many hours of sleep do 11-year-olds need every day?

A．

7 hours.

B．

8 hours.

C．

10 hours.

D．

18 hours.

27. Why do teenagers go to sleep late according to Carskadon?

A．	They are affected by certain body chemicals.
B．	They tend to do things that excite them.
C．	They follow their parents' examples.
D．	They don't need to go to school early.
