For example, I’ve always smoked a few good cigars every day. Not many, mind you! Only two or three! I’ve always also drunk a little good wine with my meals, perhaps two or three glasses.

    In many countries, unusual names for children are becoming more popular, especially when more and more stars give their children special names. In Britain, you can call a child almost anything you like except dirty words.
    Some parents choose names which come from popular culture. Because of the film the Lord of the Rings(指环王), six boys were named Gandalf. Names about sport are very common, too. Since 1984, 36 children have been called Arsenal after the football team.
    Other parents like to make up names, or combine(合并) two names to make a special one. A mother in Britain invented the name Tiaamii for her daughter. She combined the names Thea and Amy (the two grandmothers).
    In China, there are some rules about names ―- you can’t use foreign letters or symbols(符号) in a Chinese name. For example, parents are not allowed to name their baby @. In New Zealand, a name beginning with a number is not allowed. Other countries have stricter rules about calling children. For example, Japan, Denmark, Spain, Germany and Argentina have a list of names. Parents must choose the names in the lists for their children.
    In Britain, some old-fashioned(过时的) names have become popular again, such as Maisie or Ella for a girl, and Alfie or Noah for a boy. But the most popular names are not the strange ones. The top names are very traditional--Jack and Thomas for boys, or Grace and Jessica f6r girls.

    Psychology（心理学）tells us that many people hate to take risks. But it is good for us to take risks, especially when the risk is to achieve a desired(渴望的) result. In that way, we become stronger and braver.
    Our human nature should be to take risks, but some people just sit and wish they didn’t have the fear to move on. This is because they failed a few times in their lives. Please step out and don’t let the past hold you back from living life to the fullest. Move forward and move on! In studying the psychology of taking risks, we find that human nature provides us with the desire to experiment and take chances.
    Risk taking is a great advantage that allowed our ancestors(祖先) to become stronger and stronger day by day. By taking risks they fought off enemies and discovered new territories（领土）. This attitude has become a part of our modern culture. Riding a roller coaster is a common risk taking activity. Even each person seems to enjoy the risk although they have the understanding that it is dangerous. This psychological and biological (生物学的) connection creates an interesting connection between what is unsafe and what humans enjoy.
    Getting in a car each day is a risk. Getting out of bed is a risk, too. We need to take risks so that we can complete many things. Astronauts take risks when they get inside a rocket(火箭); however, the things they achieve are great. Businessmen take a risk when they buy parts of a company. However, without doing that, they could not make more money.
    We need to take risks so that we can gain(获得) something. It is impossible to move forward in life, earn money, enjoy a relationship, play a sport, or do anything else without taking a risk. It is all part of the game. It’s one of the most important parts of life.
    小题1:Some people don’t want to take risks, mainly because ___________.
    A．they are too lazy to move on
    B．they feel pleased with the present life
    C．they have failed several times before
    D．they show little interest in the strange world outside
    小题2:What does the underlined part “This attitude” in Paragraph 3 mean?
    A．Taking risksB．Fighting off enemies
    C．Discovering new territoriesD．Becoming stronger and stronger
    小题3:What can we infer from the passage?
    A．Daily life is full of risks.
    B．The safest place has the greatest risk.
    C．People should take risks when they are young.
    D．We can always achieve our goals by taking risks.
    小题4: Businessmen take a risk in order to __________.
    A．sell parts of a company
    B．complete many things
    C．make more money
    D．get inside a rocket
    小题5:What would be the title for the passage?
    A．Taking risks is easier said than doneB．Risks taken by ancestors
    C．Live our life to the fullestD．No risk, no gain.

    It was an exciting moment for Shen Xue and Zhao Hongbo, a retired married couple from Harbin, China. It was also a great moment for China because it was the country’s first gold medal in the pairs figure（花样）skating competition at the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympic Games.
    Everyone was very quiet when Shen and Zhao were skating onto the ice. They were expecting something wonderful to happen. As soon as the music started, Shen and Zhao skated around the field quickly with beautiful style; every move was perfect. When the music stopped, all the people cheered. In the end Shen and Zhao won the Olympic gold medal.
    In China, winter sports are not as popular as they are in America and Northern European countries. So China sent only 90 athletes to Vancouver to take in a few, carefully chosen sports. Such a good decision also led to Wang Meng and Zhao Yang winning gold medals in the little known, but exciting sports of short track (轨道) speed skating.
    China did not win a lot of medals at these Winter Games. Most of the events are still very new to China and need to be developed. But Chinese athletes learn very quickly. For example, China’s women’s curling team(冰壶队) only began in 2003, but they were No. 1 at the 2009 World Women’s Curling Championship.
    This means that with hard work and a bit of luck, China’s winter stars could soon shine on the world stage.
    小题1: Shen Xue won the gold medal in the ________event at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics.
    A．pairs of figure skatingB．short track speed skating
    C．women’s curlingD．long track speed skating
    小题2: The people were _____when Shen Xue and Zhao Hongbo started skating at the games.
    A．noisyB．quiet C．cheeringD．excited
    小题3:The underlined（划线）word “couple” means _____in Chinese.
    A．对手B．朋友C．夫妻D．同事
    小题4:China’s women’s curling team won’t be eight years old until______.
    A．2003B．2009 C．2010D．2011
    小题5: What made China’s winter athletes get such a success? 
    A．Luck.B． A chance.
    C．Hard work and a little luck.D．The country’s support.

About two thirds of our body is water. When we do sports, some of the water will get away from our body. If we don’t drink some water, our body won’t have enough water. And if we don’t have enough water, we’ll feel tired and many of us will get ill. So you know how important water is to us.
    But at present we face water crisis(危机). Water is becoming less and less. So， we should protect water resources(资源) and try our best to save water in our daily life. Here are some tips for saving water:
    1. Turn off the tap(水龙头) in lime.
    2. Take shorter showers.
    3. Don’t let water run while washing your face and reuse the water after we finish washing.
    4. Encourage your friends and neighbors to join in the action of saving water.
