    A good friend of mine lives about one hour away. I called her last week and found out that she wasn’t doing well at work, which would make the following year a little more difficult. After hanging up the phone, I decided to offer to help her, but I couldn’t think of what to do. However, opportunities come themselves when you’re not even looking for.
    A few days later, some friends and I happened to be eating desserts at a restaurant in her city. As we were looking at the menu, I turned to my friends and asked them if they wanted to join in a game. After explaining the idea, they decided to take 15 minutes to make someone’s day. We ordered an extra dessert, wrote a note, added a smile card and were off. However, there was one problem: I had no idea where she was.
    Therefore, it was time to rely on the network. I called up a friend and got him to call her to see what she was doing and found out that she was at work.
    We drove to her work place and one of my friends became the delivery(投递)person.He went in to look for my friend, found her, didn’t really answer her questions and walked out, saying he’s simply a delivery person.
    He ran out quickly and I bent down as we drove by to make sure she didn’t follow him out. Afterwards, all of us had this huge smile on our faces. We felt as if we had just planned a surprise party or something.
    A simple opportunity turned into a moment that many of us can now share.
    小题1:Why is the following year a little more difficult for the author’s friend?
    A．Because she lives too far away from work.
    B．Because she was out of work.
    C．Because she didn’t do well at work.
    D．Because she failed a test.
    小题2:In Paragraph 2, the underlined phrases “make someone’s day” probably means “make someone________”.
    A．satisfiedB．busyC．sadD．happy
    小题3:The author got to know where her friend was by________.
    A．asking her friend herself by phone
    B．asking another friend to call her
    C．asking what she was doing directly
    D．asking her friend herself on the Internet
    小题4:When given the dessert, the author’s friend________.
    A．refused the offerB．knew the entire thing
    C．asked some questionsD．followed the delivery person out
    小题5:The author and her friends might feel________at last.
    A．joyfulB．thankfulC．pitifulD．fearful

    The twentieth century saw greater changes than any century before. Changes for the better, changes for the worse, changes that brought a lot of benefits to human beings, changes that put man in danger. Many things caused the changes, but, in my opinion, the most important was the progress in science.
    Scientific research in physics and biology has vastly broadened our views. It has given us a deeper knowledge of the structure of matter and of the universe. It has brought us a better understanding of the nature of life and of its continuous development. Technology in the application of science has made big advances that have benefited us in nearly every part of life.
    The continuation of such activities in the twenty-first century will result in even greater advantages to human beings; in pure science—a wider and deeper knowledge in all fields of learning; in applied science--- a more reasonable sharing of material benefits, and better protection of the environment.
    Sadly, however, there is another side to the picture. The creativity of science has been employed in doing damage to mankind. The application of science and technology to the development and production of weapons of mass destruction has created a real danger to the continued existence of the human race on this planet. We have seen this happen in the case of nuclear weapons. Although their actual use has so far occurred only in the Second World War, the number of nuclear weapons that were produced and made ready for use was so large that if the weapons had actually been used, the result could have been the ruin of the human race, as well as of many kinds of animals.
    William Shakespeare said, “The web of our life is of a mingled yarn, good and ill together.” The above brief review the application of only one part of human activities—science seems to prove what Shakespeare said. But does it have to be so? Must the ill always go together with the good? Are we biologically programmed for war?
    小题1:Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?

    ="Paragraph" 1,②="Paragraph" 2, ③="Paragraph" 3, ④="Paragraph" 4,⑤="Paragraph" 5）
    小题2: From the fourth paragraph, we can infer that ______.
    A．a great many nuclear weapons were actually used for war
    B．a large number of nuclear weapons should have been used for war
    C．the author is doubtful about the ruin of human beings by nuclear war
    D．the author is anxious about the huge number of nuclear weapons on the earth
    小题3: The underlined word “mingled” most probably means______
    A．simpleB．mixedC．sadD．happy
    小题4:What do you think the author is most likely to suggest if he continues to write?
    A．Further application of science to war.
    B．More reading of William Shakespeare.
    C．Proper use of science in the new century.
    D．Effective ways to separate the good from the ill.

    Newspapers in Great Britain vary greatly in their ways of carrying the news. There are serious papers for those who want to know about important happenings everywhere, both at home and abroad. There are popular newspapers for those who prefer entertainment to information.
    The London newspaper that is best known outside Great Britain is probably the Times. It began in 1785, and is well accepted for believable news and serious opinions on the news. It calls itself an independent paper, which means that it does not give its support to a particular political party. Its leading articles give the opinions of the editors, not those of the owners of the paper.
    Letters to the editor are printed in the newspaper. These parts of the Times are always interesting. Most of the letters are serious subjects. But from time to time there will be long letters on the subject which is not at all serious, perhaps on a new fashion of dress, or the bad manners of the young people, compared with manners of thirty years ago.
    小题1: If you want to get pleasure, please buy yourself         .
    A．a serious newspaperB．foreign newspaper
    C．any independent paperD．a popular newspaper
    小题2:The Times is an independent paper because        .
    A．it supports no political parties
    B．it is not controlled by the British Government
    C．it gives special support to all the political parties.
    D．the editor’s opinions are not examined by the owners of the paper
    小题3: The underlined word “vary” in the passage probably means “       ”.
    A．improveB．compete with each other
    C．are differentD．keep in touch with each other

    Su Hua is studying at Cambridge, UK. She has bought a bicycle and is worried about security. Her friend, Kate, found this article and sent it to her.
    Introduction
    A lot of crime is against bicycles. About 150,000 bicycles are stolen every year and most are never found. You can prevent this happening by following a few careful steps.
    Basic Security
    Do not leave your bicycle in out-of-the-way places. Always lock your bicycle when you leave. Secure it to lampposts or trees. Take off smaller parts and take them with you, for example lights and saddles(车座).
    Locks
    Get a good lock. There are many different types in the shop. Buy one that has been tested against attack. Ask for a recommendation from a bike shop.
    Marking
    Security marking your bike can act as a deterrent(威慑) to a thief. It can also help the police find your bicycle. It should be clearly written and include your postcode and your house or flat number. This will provide a simple way to identify your bicycle.
    Registration
    There are a number of companies who will mark your bicycle for you. They will then put your registration number and personal details on their computer database. Then if your bicycle is found it will be easy to contact you.
    Finally

    Science Daily (May 1S, 2012) - People who rate themselves as having high emotional    intelligence (El) tend to overestimate (高估) their ability to detect deception(欺骗) in others.      This is the finding of a paper published in the journal Legal and Criminological Psychology on 18 May 2012.
    Professor Stephen Porter. director of the Centre for the Advancement of Psychological     Science and Law at University of British Columbia Canada along with colleagues Dr. Leanne Brinke and Alysha Baker used a standard questionnaire to measure the EI of 116 participants.
    These participants were then asked to view 20 videos from around the world of people     pleading （祈求） for the safe return of a missing family member. In half the videos the person     making the plea was responsible for the missing person's disappearance or murder.
    The participants were asked to judge whether the pleas were honest or deceptive say how much confidence they had in their judgments, report the clues (线索) they had used to make those judgments and rate their emotional response to each plea.
    Professor Porter found that higher EI was associated with overconfidence in assessing the sincerity of the pleas and sympathetic feelings towards people in the videos who turned out to be responsible for the disappearance.
    Although EI, in general, was not associated with being better or worse at telling the difference between truths and lies. people with a higher ability to notice and express emotion (a component of EI) were not so good at spotting when people were telling lies.
    Professor Porter says: "Taken together, these findings suggest findings features of emotional     intelligence and the decision-making processes they lead to may nave the paradoxical (适得其反的) effect of weakening people's ability to detect deception."
    "These findings are important because El is a well-accepted concept and is used in a variety of fields, including the workplace"
    小题1:Which of the following is true about the study and its findings?
    A．EI has something to do with telling truths and 1ies.
    B．The participants were asked to identify liars on the spot.

    D．Those confident participants all made wrong judgments.
    小题2:According to Professor Porter's finding, people with higher EI
    A．were actually less confident
    B．were easy to be cheated for their kindness
    C．had sympathy for the missing people
    D．were good at spotting deception
    小题3:What does the underlined word "they" refer to?
    A．Features of EIB．People with high EfC．The findingsD．The researchers
    小题4:Workplace is specially mentioned in the last paragraph to ______.
    A．indicate that people with high EI are mostly adults
    B．indicate that EI is very important in the workplace
    C．warn employers not to trust employees with high EI
    D．warn people with high EI of deception in the workplace
    小题5:What is the best title for the passage?
    A．How to detect deception in our daily life.
    B．The disadvantages of high emotional intelligence.
    C．The relationship between one's El and recognition.

    We all know what it is like to be unable to turn your head because of a cold in the muscles of your neck, or because an unexpected twist has made your neck ache and stiff. Your whole body feels tight. The slightest move makes you jump with pain. Nothing could be worse than a pain in the neck. That is why we use phrase to describe some people who give you the same feeling. We have all met such people.
    One is the man who always seems to be clapping his hands—often at the wrong time—during a performance in the theater. He keeps you from hearing the actors.
    Even worse are those who can never arrive before the curtain goes up and play begins. They come hurrying down to your row of seats. You are comfortably settled down, with your hat and heavy coat in your lap. You must stand up to let them pass. You are proud of your self-control after they have settled into their seats…Well, what now…Good God, one of them is up again. He forgot to go to the men’s room, and once more you have to stand up, hanging on to your hat and coat to let him pass. Now, that is “a pain in the neck.”
    Another, well-known to us all, is the person sitting behind you in the movies. His mouth is full of popcorn; he is chewing loudly, or talking between bites to friends next to him. None of them remain still. Up and down, back and forth, they go for another bag of popcorn, or something to drink.
    Then, there is the main sitting next to you at a lunch counter smoking a smelly cigar. He wants you to enjoy it too, and blows smoke across your food into your mouth.
    We must not forget the man who comes into a bus or subway car and sits down next to you, just as close as you will let him. You are reading the newspaper and he leans over and stretches his neck so that he can read the paper with you. He may even turn the paper to the next page before you are ready for it.
    We also call such a person a “rubberneck”, always putting out his neck to where it does not belong, like neighbors who watch all your visitors. They enjoy invading your privacy. People have a strong dislike for rubbernecks. They hate being spied upon.
    小题1:Where can you find this passage?
    A．Medicine dictionaries.B．A travel guide.
    C．Social science books.D．Students text books.
    小题2:How do you feel when late comers walk back and forth in front of you in a cinema?
    A．Disturbed.B．Ignored.C．Bored.D．Relaxed.
    小题3:A “rubberneck” often                 .
    A．says bad words behind people
    B．quarrels face to face with neighbors
    C．bargains the price with sales women
    D．asks about other people’s business
    小题4:Which of the follow is “a pain in the neck”?
    A．Someone who helps you find your seat in a movie theatre.
    B．Someone who smokes in a smoking section on a train.
    C．Someone who throws trash out of his car window on the highway.
    D．Someone who goes to the doctor for his severe pain on the neck.
