    You speak, write a letter, make a telephone. Your words carry a message. People communicate with words. Do you think you can communicate without words? A smile on your face shows you are happy or friendly. Tears in your eyes tell others that you are sad.
    When you put up your hands in class, the teacher knows you want to say something or ask questions. You shake your head, and people know you are saying "No". You nod and people know you are saying "Yes". Other things can also carry messages. For example, a sign at the bus helps you to know which bus to take. A sign on the door helps you where to go in or out. Have you ever thought that there are a lot of signs around you and that you receive messages from them all the time? People can communicate in many other ways. An artist can use his drawing to tell beautiful mountains, about the blue sea and many other things. Books are written to tell about all the wonderful things in the world and also about people and their ideas. Books, magazines, TV, radio and films all help us communicate with others.

    Sony and Toyota are struggling. But one brand name is booming (繁荣) in Japan during the economic slowdown—Mickey Mouse.
    According to the company that runs Tokyo Disneyland, Japan’s busiest theme park will be more packed than ever over Christmas and New Year’s Day. Despite the bad economy, it’s already been a record year for an escape which is cheaper than the average night out in pricey Tokyo.
    “Here, economic depression (萧条) seems a world away,” visitor Namie Katsunuma said. “This is the only place where I can totally forget the economic worries and hardships of my life.”

    “In a way, the economy works well for Tokyo Disneyland,” said Hiroshi Watanabe, an economist at the Tokyo-based Daiwa Research Institute. “Because of the economic depression, people have stopped buying cars and houses or going to Hawaii, and Tokyo Disneyland offers an affordable and pleasant alternative.”

    小题4:According to the last paragraph, what is the writer probably going to write?

    Today's parents miss the golden age that their own mothers enjoyed in the 1970s and 1980s, researchers found.
    Mothers have less time to themselves and feel under greater pressure to juggle work and family life than the previous generation. As a result, 88 per cent said they felt guilty about the lack of time they spent with their children.
    The survey of 1,000 mothers also found that more than a third said they had less time to themselves than their mothers did — just three hours a week or 26 minutes a day.
    And 64 percent said this was because they felt they 'had' to go out to work, while nearly a third (29 per cent) said they were under constant pressure to be the 'perfect mother', the report found.
    Other findings showed social network and parenting website were important in proving help and support among female communities
    Kate Fox, of the Social Issues Research Centre, which conducted the survey for Procter & Gamble, said: "With increasing pressure on mothers to work a 'double shift' — to be the perfect mother as well as a wage-earner — support networks are more important than ever."
    It comes as a separate report examining childcare in the leading industrialized nations found that working mothers in Britain spend just 81 minutes a day caring for their children as a "primary activity".
    Critics say the pressure on women to work long hours, and leave their children in the hands of nurseries or child minders, is putting the well-being of their children at risk.
    The study also reveals that, despite the fact that more and more modern mothers go out to work, the burden of childcare still falls on them — even if their husband is not in work.
    A father who is not in work tends to spend just 63 minutes a day looking after his child — 18 minutes less than a mother who goes out to work.
    Working fathers spare less than three quarters of an hour with their children.
    小题1:What is the main idea of the passage?  
    A．More and more modern mothers go out to work to support the families.
    B．Today's parents would rather leave their children in the hands of nurseries.
    C．Today's parents have less time to take care of their children.
    D．To keep the balance of work and family is not an easy thing.
    小题2:What does the underlined word "juggle" in Paragraph 2 probably mean?  
    A．keep objects in the air
    B．do many things at once
    C．change things
    D．organize spending
    小题3:According to Kate Fox,         .   
    A．people should learn to relax by using the network
    B．network plays an important role in society
    C．mothers should make use of the network to gain support
    D．it is impossible for woman to become the "double shift"
    小题4:Today's mothers lack the time to company their children mainly because         .   
    A．they have no choice but go to work
    B．they are under constant pressure
    C．they want to be "the perfect mother"
    D．they have less time to themselves
    小题5: Which of the following statements is True?    
    A．Mothers usually spend three hours looking after their children a day.
    B．Since more and more modern mothers go out to work, the burden of childcare falls on fathers.
    C．Child minders are good to the health of the children.
    D．Mothers spend more time with their children than fathers.

    A pair of pandas being lent by China to Japan was set to arrive in Tokyo's Ueno Zoo in the Japanese capital and raising hopes that the animals may help improve bilateral (双边的)ties.
    Bi Li and his female partner, Xian Nu, both 5, were  due  to  touch  down at  Narita international Airport in Tokyo on a flight from Shanghai.
    Together with their keeper, the pair were transferred from Chengdu, to Shanghai on Monday morning, said Li Desheng, deputy chief of the Wolong Nature Reserve.
    The pair, which are young adults, will be the first pandas at Ueno Zoo since April 2008, when the institution's beloved Ling Ling died.
    Ueno Zoo had spent 90 million yen ($1.1 million) installing under-floor heating, a playground with a sandbox and landscaping.
    The pair will dine on rare bamboo from the central Japanese mountain of Izu that is similar to what they are used to at home in China.
    The zoo's first pair of pandas arrived in 1972, marking the normalization of diplomatic ties between the two countries.
    Expectations are running high that the pandas that will stay in Japan for 10 years will boost the local economy and improve troubled relations between Tokyo and Beijing.
    Business and tourism officials expect them to bring in around 20 billion yen a year, or 10 percent of the local economy.
    In 1993, a year after Ling Ling arrived in the zoo, an additional 1 million people visited the attraction. Visitors have fallen to around 3 million a year from 3.5 million since Ling Ling's death.
    Since a boat collision near the Diaoyu Islands in September, Sino-Japanese relations have been at a low point. The media outlets expressed hope that bilateral relations will improve with the arrival of the pandas.
    小题1:The passage mainly tells us         .    
    A．a pair of pandas was lent to Japan by China
    B．the pair of pandas from China brought hope of improving Sino-Japanese relations
    C．the normalization of diplomatic ties between China and Japan
    D．sino-Japanese relations have been at a low point since the Diaoyu Island incident
    小题2:en the pair of pandas arrives in Japan,         .   
    A．an additional 1 million people will visit the zoo
    B．they will eat what they are used to from China
    C．they will stay there for 10 years
    D．they will be the first pandas at Ueno Zoo
    小题3:According to the passage, we know that Ling Ling stayed in Japan for about         .  
    A．5 yearsB．10 yearsC．15 yearsD．20 years
    小题4:What does the underlined phrase "touch down" probably mean ?   
    A．take offB．landC．come upD．meet
    小题5: The arriving of the pandas is expected to bring several positive effects except         . 
    A．boosting the local economy
    B．improving the troubled relations between China and Japan
    C．bringing in around 20 billion yen a year

    Liu Hui is very excited. The students in a school in Shanghai will go to the USA with his parents during the Spring Festival.
    “Overseas touring has always been a dream for me,” he said happily.
    Nowadays, Chinese people enjoy longer holidays, such as the three “Golden Week Holidays”(the Spring Festival, May Day and National Day). They have more time to travel. Rising incomes also make travelling abroad realistic for ordinary Chinese people.
    Nearly 7 million Chinese travelled overseas in 2001, according to the National Tourism Administration(国家旅游局). The most common problem travellers face is how to choose the best routes(路线).
    By the end of 2002, Chinese citizens were allowed to travel to 19 foreign countries and regions at their own expense.
    The top 10 places included Hong Kong, Macao and Thailand. European countries are also becoming increasingly popular.
    “More and more Chinese people have shown interest in travelling to Europe, particularly France and Finland,” said Tan Wen, a general manager of China Youth Travel Service. “Sooner or later, there will be a peak（高峰） in European tours.”
    Another consideration is choosing the right travel agencies and finding the best price. The China Consumers’ Association（CCA，中国消费者协会）offered tips to consumers on choosing the right travel agencies to help prevent a relaxing vacation from turning into a costly disaster.
    “Price should not be the single most important factor in choosing a travel agency,” said Zhang Yuanchao, CCA vice-secretary general. Consumers are advised to choose large State travel agencies with good reputations and official approval to organize overseas tour groups.
    Zhang’s association dealt with more than 5, 000 complaints about travel agencies（旅行社） last year. And the majority of the complaints were about random changes in travel routes, bad tour guides, and forced shopping.
    Travellers were warned to look carefully at their contracts with agencies and to buy travel insurance(保险).
    小题1:How many reasons are given in the article as to why ordinary Chinese people are traveling abroad more today?
    A．Two.B．Three.C．Four.D．Five.
    小题2:According to the passage, what is the biggest problem Chinese travelers face when going overseas?
    A．Choosing the best travel agent.
    B．Deciding the best way to get to the places they want to go to.
    C．Traveling to Europe.
    D．Cost.
    小题3:According to the passage, what seems to be the most common result of choosing a bad travel agency?
    A．People buy more souvenirs than they had planned to.
    B．People spend more money than they had planned to.
    C．People go to different places than they had palnned to.
    D．People complained more than they had planned to.
    小题4:The underlined part “random changes” probably means that         .
    A．the travelers agreed with the changes.
    B．the travel agency didn’t make any changes.
    C．the travel agency refused to changes the routes.
    D．the travel agency changed the routes or time without following the original plan.

    When you are far away from home for the first time and have a lot to adjust to，you can't do it alone. However independent you are，it is good to have a roommate during your first year.
    Living with someone helps ease your loneliness. Sure it may seem appealing to be able to play your music and turn up your TV as loud as you want, but coming home to an empty room every day can be depressing. If you have a bad day, you may want to talk to someone.
    Friends are great sources of venting (宣泄), but friends can't always be there. Even worse, they may be self­centered and show no interest in your problem. It's not that roommates aren't like this, but even just small talk can help you feel better.
    Having a roommate teaches you how to get along with people and settle conflict. You two should set up rules immediately and discuss what to do when there is conflict. If you two don't like each other，you still study，relax，and sleep in the same room. You must find a way to get along.
    Finally，having a roommate exposes (使接触) you to different ways of living. Your roommate may come from a different city，and have different living habits. He or she also has different interests and personalities. You don't have to end up liking the same things your roommate does，but try to learn something different. You will be surrounded by many different people in college and have the chance to try things you never have before. Why not start learning from your roommate？
    Having a roommate gives you the skills and personal background you will need to utilize (利用) when you are out on your own. Make the most of living with a stranger and besides，there will be plenty of opportunities for you to have your own room later in your college years.
    小题1:Who are probably the intended readers of the passage？
    A．University teachers.
    B．Students who are not independent.
    C．Students in the first year of college.
    D．Students who will graduate from college soon.

    B．there may be disagreements between roommates
    C．students can choose those they like as their roommates

    Everybody hates rats．But in the earthquake capitals of the world-Japan，Los Angeles，Turkey-rats will soon be man's new best friends．
    What happens after an earthquake? We send in rescue（救援） dogs. Why? Because they can smell people．Dogs save lives．They help rescuers to find living people．But dogs are big and they can't get into small spaces．So now a new research project is using a smaller animal to save lives：the rat．
    How does it work? First，the rat is trained to smell people．When this happens，the rat's brain gives a signal（信号）．This is sent to a small radio on its back，and then the rescuers follow the radio signals．When the rat's brain activity jumps，the rescuers know that someone is alive．The rat has smelled that person．
    Although there are already robots which can do this job，rats are better．Christian Linster at Cornell University—New York says，“Robots' noses don't work well when there are other smells around．Rats are good at that．” Rats can also see in the dark．They are cheaper and quicker to train than dogs，and unlike robots，they don't need electricity!
    The “rat project” is not finished，but Julie Ryan of International Rescue Corps in Scotland says，“It would be fantastic．A rat could get into spaces we couldn't get to and a rat would get out if it wasn't safe．” Perhaps for the first time in history，people will be happy to see a rat in a building（but only after an earthquake，of course）．

    A．take the place of man's rescue jobs

    They are among the 250, 000 people under the age of 25 who are out of work in the Netherlands, a group that makes up 40 percent of the nation’s unemployed．A storm of anger boils up at the government-sponsored （政府资助的） youth center, even among those who are continuing their studies．
    “We study for jobs that don’t exist,” Nicollets Steggerda, 23, said．
    After thirty years of prosperity, unemployment among 10 member nations of the European Community has reached as much as 11 percent, affecting a total of 12．3 million people, and the number is climbing．
    The bitter disappointment long expressed by British youths is spreading across the Continent．The title of a rock song “No Future” can now be seen written on the brick walls of closed factories in Belgium and France．
