    English families face being limited to 80 bags of rubbish a year. Households throwing away more waste will have to take it to the tip (垃圾站) or buy a limited number of extra bags.

    Doretta Cocks, protester of the Campaign for Weekly Waste Collections, said, “They must think we are fools. How can they claim to be concerned for the environment when they tell people to drive to the local tip? And what do you do if you don’t have a car? Walk?”
    The plan ignores the voice from ministers to end such heavy – handedness (笨拙).
    It is to be carried out by the Tory – led council (市政厅) in Wokingham, Berkshire, and is already in operation in Brozbourne in Hertfordshire.
    Many of the 180 councils that still offer unlimited weekly rubbish collections are watching the trial.
    Wokingham officials have told residents that 75 – litre bags will be given to each household and anything not left in them will not be collected.
    “Every household will receive 80 bags every year,” it said. “You can buy extra bags in rolls of ten but this will not be encouraged.”
    Families of five will get 100 rubbish bags a year and households of six or more will get 120.
    Residents will have a weekly recycling collection limited to cans, paper and cards, plastic bottles and so on.
    Plastic packaging and glass including bottles must either go with the general waste or be taken to recycling points. Green waste pick – ups cost an extra ￡60 a year.
    The council has told residents it will save ￡922,000 a year under the new system. There will be no local consultation (商讨) before it is introduced next April.
    小题1:What’s Doretta Cock’s attitude towards the new plan?
    A．Satisfied.B．Curious.C．Angry.D．Interested.
    小题2:What does the underlined word “this” refer to in the seventh paragraph?
    A．Receiving 80 rubbish bags every year.B．Buying extra bags every year.
    C．Driving to city tips.D．Getting 100 rubbish bags a year.
    小题3:It can be learned from the passage that         .
    A．the new plan is agreed by most ministers
    B．the new plan will waste a lot of money
    C．the government has asked for much advice of the new plan
    D．the new plan does not necessarily do good to the environment
    小题4:Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
    A．English families are limited to 80 bags of rubbish a year

    You are enjoying the beautiful scenery in a quiet place, but suddenly the peace and quiet is interrupted（打断）by the noisy sound of a cellphone(手机)! Cellphones are everywhere, and some people don’t know what the limits of cellphone use are.
    For me, it’s just a matter of education, good manners, and common sense. If I go to a beautiful place, it is because I want to enjoy nature. I can do it, but without bothering (打扰) other people.
    Nowadays, that’s the biggest problem. People disturb other people, first with the ringing of their cellphones and then with their conversations because they usually speak very loudly. Not everybody in a public place should have to listen to private conversations (私人谈话). Even more annoying, you hear just one part of the conversation.
    People need to learn how to use cellphones correctly. If there is an emergency (紧急情况)，cellphones are acceptable, but remember that just a few years ago few people had cellphones and the whole society survived!
    But again, not everybody wants to listen to other people’s private conversations. It’s like smoking. People don’t want to be bothered by smokers. Our society has to learn to respect other people.
    Sometimes when you are talking to someone, that person interrupts the conversation because of a cellphone call, without saying “I’m sorry.” That is bad manners. They don’t know how to respect other people. It’s just common sense! But our society is sometimes so “common senseless!” So, we have to write some rules to prohibit（禁止）cellphone use in some places.
    小题1:What could be the best title for the passage?
    A．Cellphone Manners Are a MustB．How to Use Cellphones
    C．Don’t Disturb OthersD．The Popularity (流行) of Cellphones
    小题2:According to the author, what is the biggest problem nowadays?
    A．People are disturbed by those who use cellphones.
    B．People can’t hear the other part of the conversation.
    C．Private conversations are carried out on cellphones.
    D．Not everyone uses a cellphone in public places.
    小题3:By saying “People don’t want to be bothered by smokers” (Para. 5), the author  really means _____.
    A．smoking also does harm to other people’s health
    B．people don’t want to listen to others talk
    C．people don’t want to be bothered by cellphone talkers
    D．some people don’t want others to smoke
    小题4:Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
    A．If we interrupt the conversation with a cellphone call, we should say sorry.
    B．Some of the cellphone users don’t have good manners.
    C．Before using cellphones, we must know how to respect others.
    D．People who use cellphones are not interested in beautiful scenery at all.

    Today’ s English learner has a wide choice of dictionaries. There are ______36 with AmericanEnglish, with British English, with idioms or slang, and 37 with pictures.

    People bury treasure to stop other people from taking it. They choose a quiet place, dig a deep hole and bury the treasure in it. Then they make a map of where the treasure is or write down other clues（线索）that will help them or someone else to find it again.
    In Britain a few years ago, a writer wrote about some treasure that he had buried. He put clues in the story to help readers find it. Thousands of people hunted for the treasure. They dug holes all over Britain, hoping to find it.
    One of the most popular adventure stories ever written is Robert Louis Stephenson's “Treasured Island”, an exciting story about a young boy, Jim Hawkins, who is captured by pirates (海盗) and later finds some buried treasure.
    Then there is the true story about a man who had to travel overseas for a year. He did not trust banks, so he buried his life savings in a park. Then he went away. On his return, he went straight to the park. But the park was no longer there. In its place there was a huge building.
    And then there was the man who buried his savings, all in bank notes, in a waterproof（防水的）bag. When he dug it up years later, there was nothing left. Worms and insects had eaten the bag and everything in it.
    And of course, these are stories about people who bury things and either forget where they have buried them or lose the map.
    Although it is true that people sometimes lose their money because a bank fails, banks are still the safest place to keep our savings and treasures.
    小题1:

    A．do not trust banks
    B．have a little money .

    A．really had buried something.
    B．started a nationwide treasure hunt.
    C．had lost his treasure and wanted people to help him find it.
    D．caused trouble because people dug holes everywhere.
    小题3:
    . “Treasure Island”       .
    A．is a story about pirates.
    B．is about the adventures of Jim Hawkins.
    C．is the most popular story ever written.
    D．is a well-known fairy tale.
    小题4:
    The man who buried his money in a park       .
    A．thought his money was safer there than in a bank.
    B．travelled on the sea for a year.
    C．got his life savings back again.
    D．stayed away longer than he expected.
    小题5:
    From these stories we understand that       .
    A．we cannot trust banks.
    B．we should not trust anyone.
    C．a waterproof bag is not proof against worms and insects.
    D．insects eat anything.

    Workplaces all over the UK are preparing for Christmas and all the traditions and customs that come with it. But will this Christmas be a cause of happiness and celebration, or of disappointment and embarrassment?
    At this time of year, colleges show their appreciation of each other by doing a “Secret Santa”. Secret Santa involves people who work together buying gifts for each other without saying who they are from.
    Co-workers all write their names on pieces of paper, then organize a lottery in which each worker picks a colleague’s name at random. He then has to buy a present for that colleague, usually on a small budget of five or ten pounds.
    Since the givers are unknown, the quality of presents can vary greatly. In an Internet survey of Secret Santa presents, the gifts that people received range from tickets to the opera to an air freshener for a car.
    Another common workplace tradition is the office Christmas party, at which workmates put on their best clothes and enjoy lots of free wine.
    Most parties go without a hitch, but sometimes the alcohol cause party-goers to behave in a way that they later regret.
    The BBC invited people to share their most embarrassing Christmas office party stories, and received hundreds of funny ones. For example, a man split his trousers while dancing; a drunken lady spent the whole night with the edge of her dress folded into her pants, and later looked at photos that proved it at work.
    But the funniest story must be that of Stuart Vanies, who got so drunk that he put his boss’s head into the toilet. Unsurprisingly, he was fired the very next day.
    小题1: How many Christmas traditions are mentioned?
    A．One.B．Two.C．Three.D．Four.
    小题2: We learn from this article that for Christmas ____________________.
    A．few people buy presents for their colleagues in Britain
    B．British workers write their names on the presents they give their colleagues
    C．people usually give their colleagues presents of high quality
    D．British workers buy their presents based on an agreed budget
    小题3:The underlined phrase “without a hitch” in the sixth paragraph means _______________.
    A．quite smoothlyB．without a result
    C．with some difficultyD．quite unexpectedly
    小题4:The examples in the last two paragraphs are to ______________________.
    A．show that most British people enjoy drinking wine
    B．advise readers not to drink wine at parties
    C．prove that funny things often happen at office Christmas parties

    Choosing a nice mountain bike for you is easier than learning how to ride it. Keep these tips in mind：
    Decide how you are going to use your new mountain bike.
    Are you a new rider who simply wants to travel outdoors on the weekend，weather permitting？Do you intend to test yourself on the rough roads，every day，rain or shine？Or are you going to use your new mountain bike to ride to and from school or work？Be honest about your intentions，and you’re more than half way toward choosing the right mountain bike for you.
    Visit your local bike shops.
    Any good bike shop will stock a wide range of quality mountain bikes in all price points and sizes. Your local bike shops will carry more than one brand of bicycle. Not only will they sell you a mountain bike that suits your needs，but they will service what they sell. Visit at least a few shops. You’ll get one that satisfies you right away.
    Don’t be bashful.
    Tell your salesperson how you intend to use your new mountain bike，and how much you are willing to spend. Your salesperson will show you a selection of models and brands accordingly. He or she will also help you determine the right size for you. You may ask more without any sense of shyness.
    Take a test ride.
    All good bike shops let customers take test rides. There’s a good reason for this beyond “try­before­you­buy” salesmanship. Since you already know your price range and find the right size，you now have to find out which brand you ride best. They want you to be happy with your purchase. After only a few test rides from more than one bike shop，the right mountain bike will choose you.
    小题1:
    What would be the best title for the text?
    A．How to Choose a Mountain Bike
    B．How to Ride a Mountain Bike
    C．Where to Ride Your Local Bike
    D．Why to Take a Test Ride
    小题2:
    The main purpose of visiting bike shops is________.
    A．to share happiness with the salesperson
    B．to seek a wide range of quality
    C．to get a mountain bike that satisfies you
    D．to service your new mountain bike
    小题3:
    The underlined word “bashful” means________.
    A．coldB．pitifulC．shyD．helpful
    小题4:
    Which of the following is probably the author’s attitude towards “try­before­you­buy” salesmanship?
    A．Honorable.B．Favorable.C．Negative.D．Suspicious(怀疑的).
