“Little lies” sometimes come to easily to us that we don’t even consider them to be lies. Read about these lies of everyday life:
1. Lying about your age or your kid’s age to get a cheaper ticket.
2. Telling the host of a dinner party that the terrible food he prepared is wonderful.
3. Lying to your aunt about how much you love the gift she gave you---the one that you really hate.
4. Telling a friend with a terrible haircut that she looks great.
5. Lying to a friend about how much you want to see her again when you really don’t
6.Telling the salesperson who calls when you’re watching TV that you’re very busy.
Are these serious lies? Probably not, but if you would lie about your age to a stranger, what’s going to stop you from lying about something more serious later? If we tell a lie or act dishonestly and get what we want, that might make us feel good today. But what about tomorrow? The future results of our lies are uncertain.
Still, no one is saying that everyone can or should be completely honest all the time. More people lie, often for a good reason. Lies are told all the time and are part of our everyday social life. Many times people lie to protect the feelings of other people, and there’s nothing wrong with that. Honesty is usually the best policy, but like any other policy, you have to make exceptions.
【小题1】The author tries to persuade the readers to accept his argument by___________.

Two young Chinese tigers set off on a 7000-mile journey to South Africa where animal experts will teach them how to hunt. The pair of South China tigers named Cathay and Hope will travel from an overcrowded field at Shanghai Zoo to a 1235-acre reserve（保护区）in South Africa.“There's room for them to move there. But the goal is to bring them back to China, where they have lived for millions of years,”Li Quan, founder of the Save China's Tigers Foundation, told reporters while the animals passed through Hong Kong airport. Quan said there were experts in South Africa with experience in teaching big cats born in imprisonment how to survive in the wild.
Big cats would instinctively（本能地）hunt food but needed to be taught how to kill it. The Chinese government says fewer than 30 South China tigers survive in the wild and a further 60 live in zoos. Tigers, which are found only in Asia, are disappearing because of the destruction of their natural surroundings and because of demand for products such as tiger bones, believed in parts of Asia to cure some serious diseases. The foundation hopes to transport another five to seven young tigers to South Africa over the next five years and then introduce them and any young tiger born there into a specially created re-serve in southern China from 2008.
(1) The Chinese tigers sent to South Africa will ________.
[ ]
A．teach other animals how to hunt
B．learn skills to survive in the wild
C．leave room to other animals at Shanghai Zoo
D．live in a wider area to comfort themselves
(2) Why are South China tigers dying out?
[ ]
A．Because people are destroying their living conditions as well as killing them for medicine use.
B．Because they only live in crowded zoos.
c．Because there are only a few of them in the wild.
D．Because there is little food for them in China.
(3) What will be the result of the tigers sent to Africa at last?
[ ]
A．They will live in Africa forever.
B．They will come back to the zoos.
C．They will be introduced to China to do research in the wild.
D．All of them, including their young, will return to China to live in a reserve.
(4) The main factor that the tigers were sent to Africa probably is ________.
[ ]
A．there are reserves there
B．there is plenty of food for the tigers to hunt there
C．there are experienced experts there
D．the Chinese specially created reserve hasn't been completed

AAAGH! The Generation 90s is coming!

Earphones
These little devices seem to grow on the heads of the Gen-90s．They might lead to MP3, MP4 or MP101 players, giving these young people a plugged-in，cool and perhaps self-addicted look, of course, life is not always music to the ears．
Martian language

Self-Portrait

Having finished her
homework, Ma Li wants some music for relaxation. As usual, she starts her
computer and goes to Baidu.com to download music files. But this time she is
surprised when an announcement about protecting songs’ copyright bursts onto
the screen. The age of free music and movie downloads may have come to an end
as Web companies like Baidu are accused of pirating copyright. Lawsuits（诉讼）
have been filed against four websites offering free downloads. In September
2005, a Beijing court ordered Baidu to pay recording company Shanghai Push
compensation for their losses. Baidu was also told to block the links to the
pirated music on the website. This caused a heated discussion on Interact file
sharing.
“Baidu’s defeat in the lawsuit shows it is not right to get copyrighted songs without paying. Downloaders may face lawsuits or fines,” said an official.
Like many teens, Huang Ruoru, an 18-year-old girl from Puning in Guangdong Province, doesn’t think that getting music from websites is wrong. She always shares her favourite songs downloaded from Baidu with her friends. When told about the lawsuit, she began to feel a little guilty about obtaining others’ work without paying.
However, other teenagers have different ideas. Wang Yafei, a Senior 2 girl from Jinan, Shandong Province pointed out that file sharing is a good way to promote pop singers. “If I download a song and really like it, I will buy the CD,” she said. “So what the recording companies really should concentrate on is improving their music, rather than pursuing file-sharers.”
61. Which of the following best describes the passage?
A. Downloading material can be illegal.
B. It’s good to get free music on the Internet.
C. Music on the Internet is of better quality.
D. Baidu is a popular web company.
62. The four web companies were put to court because _________.
A. they got copyrighted songs without paying
B. they downloaded copyrighted music for people
C. they offer free music on line
D. they make copyrighted files for free downloads
63. How do some of the teenagers feel while downloading free music after the lawsuit?
A. A bit guilty. B. Awfully sorry. C. A little sad. D. Extremely angry.
64. What’s the advantage of file sharing for recording companies?
A. Enabling people to download favorite songs.
B. Helping to improve the music.
C. Making pop singers more popular.
D. Getting more money from web companies.
65. It can be inferred from the text that _________.
A. Web companies are still ignoring the copyright laws.
B. Teenagers haven’t got money to buy CDs.
C. Teenagers are probably still downloading free music.
D. Teenagers prefer CDs with copyright to pirated music.
