    There is one word that is on the lips of Americans , day and night , ¡°Sorry¡±.
    One time as I was walking on the street , a young man ran by hurriedly , brushing against my handbag . Even as he continued on his way , he turned back and said ¡°sorry¡± to me . Even in a rush , he didn¡¯t forget to apologize .
    One day , after I bought some apples , the salesman was giving me the change , but I wasn¡¯t ready for it , and a coin dropped on the ground, ¡°I¡¯m sorry ,¡± he said while bending down to pick it up . I was puzzled ¡ªwhy would he apologize when it was my fault ?
    Another time , I stepped on a man¡¯s foot in an escalator . At the same time , we both said ¡°sorry¡± . I thought it interesting : was it really necessary for him apologize ?  
    Later on , an American friend explained to me that according to the American ideas, the escalator is public place which everyone should be able to stand in . After someone occupies a position in the escalator , making it difficult for someone else to find a place to stand in , isn¡¯t it necessary to express an apology ?
    During my stay in America , I gradually realized that when friction (Ħ²Á) occurs in daily life , Americans don¡¯t care much about who is responsible . If someone is troubled , a ¡°sorry¡± is always necessary . Even if the other person is hurt , the ¡°sorry¡± would cool tempers . Perhaps this is why I never saw anyone quarreling on the buses , subways or streets in America .
    СÌâ1:When I was walking in the street , ____ .
    A£®a young man wanted to rob me of my bag
    B£®a young man ran by and wanted to brush my bag

    D£®a young man came hurriedly to help me with my bag
    СÌâ2:When the salesman gave me the change , _____
    A£®I purposely didn¡¯t want to accept it from the salesman
    B£®the salesman purposely didn¡¯t want to pass it to me
    C£®I was slower to accept it than the salesman to give it to me
    D£®the salesman was slower to give it to me than I could accept it
    СÌâ3:The man on whose feet I stepped apologized to me because ____ .
    A£®the escalator is a public place
    B£®the man was very afraid of me
    C£®the ¡°sorry¡± said to me was for everyone
    D£®there wasn¡¯t enough room to get my feet in

    Robert Frost was one of America¡¯s best known and most honored serious writers. But his fame came late in his life.
    He was born in San Francisco, California in 1874. He lived in California during his early childhood. He was named after the chief Southern general in America¡¯s Civil War. The general¡¯s name was Robert Edward Lee. The poet was named Robert Lee Frost, because his father wanted to honor the general.
    Someone once asked another American writer, Ernest Hemingway, how to become a writer. The best thing, he said, was to have an unhappy childhood. If this is true, Robert Frost¡¯s childhood was unhappy enough to make him a very good writer. Robert Frost¡¯s father was a reporter who wanted to be a politician. He often drank too much wine and became angry. Robert was the victim of his anger.
    Robert Frost finished high school in 1891. After high school, Robert¡¯s grandfather offered to pay his costs at Dartmouth College. But Robert left the school after a few months. He did not like it. He spent the next few years working at different jobs. At one time, he worked in a factory. Later, he repaired shoes. He was a teacher. He was a reporter. Always, he wrote poetry.
    Robert Frost attended Harvard University for two years. After that, he returned to the many jobs he held before. For a while, Frost tried to take care of a farm in the state of New Hampshire. He was not a successful farmer. And he continued to write poetry. He said that until 1930, he earned only about ten dollars a year from writing.
    In 1912, he decided to try to make a new start. He took his family to Britain. The cost of living was low. In Britain, Frost found a publisher for his first book of poems. The book was called A Boy¡¯s Will. When it appeared in 1913, Frost received high praise from British readers. Praise was something he had not received in his own country.
    Ezra Pound, another American poet living in Britain, read the poems and liked them very much. He wrote a magazine article about Frost. He also helped get Frost¡¯s second book of poems published in America. That book was called North of Boston.

    GU Zhaodi, 60, had taken water for granted for years. In fact, no one in the beautiful lake city of Wuxi, Jiangsu Province had bothered to spare a thought on water.
    But all that changed dramatically overnight last month when taps in the city ran dry. Due to a blue-green algae(ÔåÀà) outbreak in Taihu Lake, China¡¯s third largest freshwater lake and the source of drinking water for 4 million Wuxi residents(¾ÓÃñ), water from the city¡¯s taps became dark and smelly.
    ¡°I can¡¯t believe there is no water for drinking, let alone cooking and washing,¡±said £Çu.
    The lake was blanketed with the algae, giving off a strong smell of rotting meat. A stone thrown into it took a long time to sink. Experts said that algae usually boom because of hot water and rich chemicals like phosphor(Á×)in the water.
    ¡°High temperature and a lack of rain in the past few months helped the growth of algae,¡±said Zhang Lijun, an official from the State Environment Protection Administration. ¡°However, pollution from human activity should be most blamed for the disaster.¡±
    Taihu Lake is surrounded by many small factories, whichsprang up in the 1980s.Inthe 1990s,many foreign-funded(Íâ×ʵÄ) companies joined in. The industries prospered(·±ÈÙ)£¬Wuxi has grown into one of the wealthiest cities in East China.
    But that came at the price of pollution. The lake was treated like a waste dump(À¬»ø¶Ñ)£¬with factories emptying industrial waste and untreated sewage(ÎÛË®)into it.
    Although, after the government's effort, life in the city has gone back to normal, the one-week crisis£¨Î£»ú£©rang a bell for the government and local people.¡°It's time to rebuild the beauty of nature, or our lives will be at risk,¡±said Gu.
    ¡°A safe environment comes first. Economic growth will be nothing without fresh water to drink and clean air to breathe.¡± said China Daily.
    СÌâ1:The following can help the blue green algae grow______
    A£®high water temperature
    B£®rich chemicals in the water
    C£®a lack of rain
    D£®plentiful water and sunshine
    СÌâ2:What can we learn from the passage?
    A£®The one-week disaster has made the local people realize the importance of building a
    beautiful city.
    B£®It is human activity rather than the algae that is to blame for the water pollution.
    C£®Only when the environment is safe and friendly can man live a better and healthier life.
    D£®Environment should be taken into consideration first if a city plans to develop its economic.
    СÌâ3:Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
    A£®Who is to blame, man or algae?
    B£®Water turned off
    C£®Water pollution troubled Wuxi

    Hillary died and went to heaven.  When she was met by the Angel Gabriel she noticed behind her a wall of unimaginable proportions(²¿·Ö) that was completely covered with clocks.
    ¡°What are they?¡± she asked the heavenly angel in complete surprise.
    ¡°They are lie clocks.  Each time you lie, the hand moves a little bit to the right.  See that one?¡± the angel pointed to one that hadn¡¯t moved at all, ¡°That¡¯s Mother Theresa¡¯s,  who has never told a lie.  And that one, ¡± he points to another, ¡°That was Abraham Lincoln¡¯s.  He only ever told two lies. ¡±

    Last night I had the best gift ever.
    My older son was reading a detective novel while my younger son was reading fairy tales. They were each in different rooms, engrossed in their books with no TV, music or anything else distracting (ʹ·ÖÐÄ) their attention.
    I read a lot during my childhood, curling (òéËõ) up in sofa or lying in bed. Like anyone else, I had lots of other interests, but once I discovered reading, I really enjoyed it. I read everything ¡ª books, magazines, newspapers, even the back of food packages if there was nothing else to read at the moment. I must thank my parents for their love of reading. Longing for more information and knowledge, my parents were always reading a lot.
    Today¡¯s children are provided with a variety of choices. It is so easy for them to become uninterested in reading and to view it as boring, uncool and unnecessary. There are TVs with astonishing choices of programs; there are MP3 players with thousands of songs at their fingertips; there are the Internet and mobile phones.
    I¡¯ve told my sons that reading comes with information, understanding and connection, each of which will help them at every stage in their lives now and forever. So when my sons were reading their books last night, I watched them, noticing them put a bookmark into their books. That¡¯s the most amazing gift that I have ever received.

    Howard Dill is a giant among giant pumpkin(ÄϹÏ) growers. He grew world champion pumpkins for four years running£¬from 1979 to 1982, and missed winning the fifth year by only 5 pounds. Today, his Dill Atlantic Giant seeds are sold worldwide to more than 50 seed companies. The pumpkins grown from his Dill Atlantic Giant seeds commonly weigh in at over 1,000 pounds. ¡°I don¡¯t have any training in genetics(ÒÅ´«Ñ§); it was all trial and error,¡± Dill says. He got his love of pumpkins from his father and has enjoyed growing them for years.
    Dill still grows giant pumpkins, but not for competition. In the fall, visitors come to enjoy the pumpkins on his 90-acre farm in Nova Scotia, Canada. He plants ten acres of pumpkins for Halloween and two acres of giant pumpkins. One of giant pumpkins was recently baked into 442 pumpkin pies and sold at $5 each for charity.
    It you want to try growing a giant pumpkin, Dill recommends starting with a soil test and then adding fertilizer(Å©Ò©) as needed. Plant the giant pumpkin seed. A giant pumpkin can gain 15 to 20 pounds a day, so careful watering¡ªevery day or two¡ªis necessary. You should wait about 130 days until the pumpkin matures and then you can harvest it.
    Dill¡¯s favorite pumpkin set the Guinness Book record in 1981. It weighted 493.5 pounds. ¡°I¡¯ve grown them larger since, but that one meant a lot,¡± he remembers. ¡°I never would have imagined ten
    years ago that there would be a 1,000-pounder, but there are many of them now,¡± says Dill. The 2006 world record holder is Larry Checkon of Pennsylvania. He grew a 1,469 pounder. Dill says, ¡°These world champions are grown from my seeds, so I feel like a winner right along with them.¡±
