The summer holiday is coming. My classmates and I are talking about how to do during the holiday. We can chose between staying at home and take a trip. If we stay at home, it is comfortable but there is no need to spend money. But in that case, we will learn little about world. If we go on a trip abroad, we can broaden you view and gain knowledges we cannot get from books. Some classmates suggest we can go to places of interest nearby. I thought that it is a good idea. It does not cost many, yet we can still learn a lot.

If you feel stressed by responsibilities at work, you should take a step back and identify (识别)those of 41 (great)and less importance. Then, handle the most important tasks first so you'll feel a real sense of 42(achieve). Leaving the less important things until tomorrow 43(be) often acceptable.

Most of us are more focused 44 our tasks in the morning than we are later in the day. So, get an early start and try to be as productive 45possible before lunch. This will give you the confidence you need to get you through the afternoon and go home feeling accomplished.

Recent 46 (study) show that we are far more productive at work if we take short breaks 47 (regular). Give your body and brain a rest by stepping outside for 48 while, exercising, or dong something you enjoy.

If you find something you love doing outside of the office, you'll be less likely 49 (bring) your work home. It could be anything-gardening, cooking, music, sports-but whatever it is, 50(make) sure it's a relief from daily stress rather than another thing to worry about.

Hundreds of people have formed impressions of you through that little device(装置)on your desk. And they've never actually 21you. Everything they know about you 22through this device, sometimes from hundreds of miles away. 23 they feel they can know you 24 from the sound of your voice. That's how powerful the 25is.

Powerful, yes, but not always 26. For years I dealt with my travel agent only by phone. Rani, my faceless agent whom I'd never met 27, got me rock-bottom prices on airfares, cars, and hotels. But her cold voice really 28 me. I sometimes wished to 29 another agent.

One morning, I had to 30 an immediate flight home for a family emergency. I ran into Rani's office 31 . The woman sitting at the desk, 32 my madness, sympathetically jumped up. She gave me a 33 smile, nodded while listening patiently, and then printed out the 34immediately. "What a wonderful lady!" I thought.

Rushing out 35I called out over my shoulder, "By the way, what's your name?" "I'm Rani," she said. I turned around and saw a 36woman with a big smile on her face waving to wish me a safe trip. I was 37! Why had I thought she was cold? Rani was, well, so 38 .

Sitting back in the car on the way to the airport, I figured it all out. Rani's 39---her warm smile, her nods, her 'I'm here for you' 40 ---were all silent signals that didn't travel through wires.

A garden that's just right for you

Have you ever visited a garden that seemed just right for you, where the atmosphere of the garden appeared to total more than the sum(总和) of its parts? 16 . But it doesn't happen by accident. It starts with looking inside yourself and understanding who you are with respect to the natural world and how you approach the gardening process.

●___ 17   

Some people may think that a garden is no more than plants, flowers, patterns and masses of color. Others are concerned about using gardening methods that require less water and fewer fertilizers(肥料). 18 . However, there are a number of other reasons that might explain why you want to garden. One of them comes from our earliest years.

● Recall(回忆)your childhood memories

Our model of what a garden should be often goes back to childhood. Grandma's rose garden and Dad's vegetable garden might be good or bad, but that's not what's important. 19 --how being in those gardens made us feel. If you'd like to build a powerful bond with your garden, start by taking some time to recall the gardens of your youth. 20 then go outside and work out a plan to translate your childhood memories into your grown-up garden. Have fun.

A．	Know why you garden
B．	Find a good place for your own garden
C．	It's our experience of the garden that matters
D．	It's delightful to see so many beautiful flowers
E．	Still others may simply enjoy being outdoors and close to plants
F．	You can produce that kind of magical quality in your own garden, too
G．	For each of those gardens, writer down the strongest memory you have

A new collection of photos brings an unsuccessful Antarctic voyage back to life.

Frank Hurley's pictures would be outstanding----undoubtedly first-rate photo-journalism---if they had been made last week. In fact, they were shot from 1914 through 1916, most of them after a disastrous shipwreck(海滩), by a cameraman who had no reasonable expectation of survival. Many of the images were stored in an ice chest, under freezing water, in the damaged wooden ship.

The ship was the Endurance, a small, tight, Norwegian-built three-master that was intended to take Sir Ernest Shackleton and a small crew of seamen and scientists, 27 men in all, to the southernmost shore of Antarctica's Weddell Sea. From that point Shackleton wanted to force a passage by dog sled(雪橇) across the continent. The journey was intended to achieve more than what Captain Robert Falcon Scott had done. Captain Scott had reached the South Pole early in 1912 but had died with his four companions on the march back.

As writer Caroline Alexander makes clear in her forceful and well-researched story The Endurance, adventuring was even then a thoroughly commercial effort. Scott's last journey, completed as be lay in a tent dying of cold and hunger, caught the world's imagination, and a film made in his honor drew crowds. Shackleton, a onetime British merchant-navy officer who had got to within 100 miles of the South Pole in 1908, started a business before his 1914 voyage to make money from movie and still photography. Frank Hurley, a confident and gifted Australian photographer who knew the Antarctic, was hired to make the images, most of which have never before been published.

13. What do we know about the photos taken by Hurley?

A．	They were made last week
B．	They showed undersea sceneries
C．	They were found by a cameraman
D．	They recorded a disastrous adventure

14. Who reached the South Pole first according to the text?

A．	Frank Hurley	B．	Ernest Shackleton
C．	Robert Falcon Scott	D．	Caroline Alexander

15. What does Alexander think was the purpose of the 1914 voyage?

A．	Artistic creation	B．	Scientific research
C．	Money making	D．	Treasure hunting

Reading can be a social activity. Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website BookCrossing.comturns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.

Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share. BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.

Bruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says, "The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing combines both."

Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.

People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. E-mails are then sent to the BookCrossing to keep them updated about where their books have been found. Bruce peterson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.

BookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the "real" and not the virtual(虚拟). The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty-five countries.

9. Why does the author mention book groups in the first paragraph?

A．	To explain what they are.
B．	To introduce BookCrossing.
C．	To stress the importance of reading.
D．	To encourage readers to share their ideas.

10. What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 2refer to?

A．	The book.	B．	An adventure.
C．	A public place.	D．	The identification number.

11. What will a BookCrosser do with a book after reading it?

A．	Meet other readers to discuss it.	B．	Keep it safe in his bookcase.
C．	Pass it on to another reader.	D．	Mail it back to its owner.

12. What is the best title for the text?

A．	Online Reading: A Virtual Tour	B．	Electronic Books: A new Trend
C．	A Book Group Brings Tradition Back	D．	A Website Links People through Books

Five years ago, when I taught art at a school in Seattle, I used Tinkertoys as a test at the beginning of a term to find out something about my students. I put a small set of Tinkertoys in front of each student, and said:"Make something out of the Tinkertoys. You have 45 minutes today - and 45minutes each day for the rest of the week."

A few students hesitated to start. They waited to see the rest of the class would do. Several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of the model plans provided. Another group built something out of their own imaginations.

Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time. His constructions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home. I was delighted at the presence of such a student. Here was an exceptionally creative mind at work. His presence meant that I had an unexpected teaching assistant in class whose creativity would infect(感染) other students.

Encouraging this kind of thinking has a downside . I ran the risk of losing those students who had a different style of thinking. Without fail one would declare, "But I'm just not creative."

"Do you dream at night when you're asleep?"

"Oh, sure."

"So tell me one of your most interesting dreams." The student would tell something wildly imaginative. Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads. "That's pretty creative. Who does that for you?"

"Nobody. I do it."

"Really-at night, when you're asleep?"

"Sure."

"Try doing it in the daytime, in class, okay?"

5. The teacher used Tinkertoys in class in order to ________?

A．	know more about the students	B．	make the lessons more exciting
C．	raise the students' interest in art	D．	teach the students about toy design

6. What do we know about the boy mentioned in Paragraph 3?

A．	He liked to help his teacher.	B．	He preferred to study alone.
C．	He was active in class.	D．	He was imaginative.

7. What does the underlined word "downside" in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

A．	Mistake.	B．	Drawback.
C．	Difficulty.	D．	Burden.

8. Why did the teacher ask the students to talk about their dreams?

A．	To help them to see their creativity.	B．	To find out about their sleeping habits.
C．	To help them to improve their memory.	D．	To find out about their ways of thinking.

A Heroic Driver

Larry works with Transport Drivers. Inc. One morning in 2009. Larry was __41__along 165 north after delivering to one of his    42   . Suddenly, he saw a car with its bright lights on.    43   he got closer, he found 44   vehicle upside down on the road. One more look and he noticed    45   shooting out from under the    46   vehicle. Larry pulled over, set the brake and    47   the fire extinguisher (灭火器). Two good bursts from the extinguisher and the fire was put out.

The man who had his bright lights on    48   and told Larry he had    49   an emergency call. They    50   heard a woman's voice coming from the wrecked (毁坏的) vehicle.    51   the vehicle, they saw that a woman was trying to get out of the broken window. They told her to stay    52   until the emergency personnel arrived,    53   she thought the car was going to    54   . Larry told her that he had already put out the fire and she should not move    55   she injured her neck.

Once fire and emergency people arrive, Larry and the other man    56   and let them go to work. Then, Larry asked the    57   if he was needed or    58   to go. They let him and the other man go.

One thing is    59   -Larry went above and beyond the call of duty by getting so close to the burning vehicle! His    60   most likely saved the woman's life.

Secret codes (密码)keep messages private。Banks, companies, and government agencies use secret codes in doing business, especially when information is sent by computer.

People have used secret codes for thousands of years. 36   Code breaking never lags(落后) far behind code making. The science of creating and reading coded messages is called cryptography.

There are three main types of cryptography. 37   For example, the first letters of "My elephant eats too many eels" Spell out the hidden message "Meet me."

38   You might represent each letter with a number, For example, Let's number the letters of the alphabet, in order, from 1 to 26. If we substitute a number for each letter, the message "Meet me" would read "13 5 20 13 5."

A code uses symbols to replace words, phrases, or sentences. To read the message of a real code, you must have a code book. 39 For example "bridge" might stand for "meet" and "out" might stand for "me." The message "bridge out" would actually mean "Meet me." 40    However, it is also hard to keep a code book secret for long. So codes must be changed frequently.

A．	It is very hard to break a code without the code book.
B．	In any language, some letters are used more than others.
C．	Only people who know the keyword can read the message.
D．	As long as there have been codes, people have tried to break them.
E．	You can hide a message by having the first letters of each word spell it out.
F．	With a code book, you might write down words that would stand for other words.
G．	Another way to hide a message is to use symbols to stand for specific letters of the alphabet.

The meaning of silence varies among cultural groups. Silences may be thoughtful, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say. A silence in a conversation may also show stubbornness, or worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable; therefore attempts may be made to fill every gap(间隙)with conversation. Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a

person's needs.

Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people, just as some

traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore, when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and

suddenly stops, what maybe implied(暗示) is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing. In these cultures, silence is a call for reflection.

Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with conflicts among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power. For example, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement between parties about the topic under discussion. However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her. In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a person in authority.

Nurses and other care-givers need to be aware of the possible meanings of silence when they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing. Nurses should recognize their own personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patient's silence is not interrupted too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily. A nurse who understands the healing(治愈) value of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.

32. What does the author say about silence in conversations?

A．	It implies anger.
B．	It promotes friendship.
C．	It is culture-specific.
D．	It is content-based.

33. Which of the following people might regard silence as a call for careful thought?

A．	The Chinese.
B．	The French.
C．	The Mexicans.
D．	The Russians.

34. What does the author advise nurses to do about silence?

A．	Let it continue as the patient pleases.
B．	Break it while treating patients.
C．	Evaluate its harm to patients.
D．	Make use of its healing effects.

35. What may be the best title for the text?

A．	Sound and Silence
B．	What It Means to Be Silent
C．	Silence to Native Americans
D．	Speech Is Silver; Silence Is Gold
