    It might have been a really bad stressful day, feeling trapped inside by the cold and snow which surrounded us. My husband got dressed and  36  that he was going outside to build a giant snowman.
    At first he stood alone, 37  massive amounts of snow. Soon after a neighbor joined in. Then we reluctantly put on our snow gear(装备) and  38  outside. It wasn’t long  39  we were smiling and enjoying the  40  of snow that Mother Nature had provided. Others came to our yard one by one to give a  41  in the making of our giant snowman.
    In the end we all stood back and  42  at what we had created. He was eleven feet high, twenty-five feet around at the base and  43  with many household items supplied by various  44  .People drove by and smiled. Some even stopped just to enjoy his  45 .
    With the passing of time, the spring made its  46  back into our yard and the snowman changed form  47  .In a final effort to save what we created for just a little bit  48  ,somebody stopped by and changed the snowman’s  49  to look like a rabbit.
    As I prepared for the start of another week, I decided to  50  my email before going to bed. I found a  51  message that contained the subject line: 52  the snowman.
    The email said:… your neighbor looks on in disbelief! Now you people are relishing(享受) the sounds and smells, along with  53  of spring. But I am sure people will never forget the  54  energy displayed in Mr Snow-man. You and your family keep it up, as this is what the world needs now. More power to you and your loved ones, keep  55  with the world around!

    A Charlotte N.C. man was charged with first-degree murder of a 79-year-old woman whom police said he scared to death. Can the guy be held responsible for the woman’s death? Prosecutors (公诉人) said that he can under the state’s murder rule, which allows someone to be charged with murder if he or she causes another person’s death while committing or fleeing from a severe crime—even if he or she doesn’t kill someone on purpose.
    But, medically speaking, can someone actually be frightened to death? We asked Martin Samuels, chairman of the neurology department at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston.
    Absolutely, no question about it.
    The body has a natural protective method called the fight-or-flight response, which was originally described by Walter Cannon，chairman of Harvard University’s physiology department from 1906 to 1942. If, in the wild, an animal is faced with a life-threatening situation, the automatic nervous system responds by increasing heart rate, increasing blood flow to the muscles, and slowing digestion, among other things. All of this increases the chances of succeeding in a fight or running away from an aggressive beast. This process certainly would be of help to early humans. However, in the modern world there is obvious decline of the fight-or-flight response.
    The autonomic nervous system uses the chemical messenger to send signals to various parts of the body to activate the fight-or-flight response. This chemical is poisonous in large amounts; it damages the organs such as the heart, lungs, liver and kidneys. It is believed that almost all sudden deaths are caused by damage to the heart. There is almost no other organ that would fail so fast as to cause sudden death.
    By the way, any strong positive or negative emotions such as happiness or sadness can cause the same result. There are people who have died in excitement or in religious passion. There was a case of a golfer who hit a hole in one, turned to his partner and said, “I can die now”, and then he dropped dead.
    小题1:What is Martin Samuels’ attitude to the possibility of being frightened to death?
    A．Approval.B．Disapproval.C．Doubtful.D．Indifferent.
    小题2:What can we learn about the fight-or-flight response according to the passage?
    A．The fight-or-flight response was raised and proved by Martin Samuels.
    B．It is a natural protective method that can’t be found in all creatures but humans.
    C．The ancient humans had a better fight-or-flight response than modern ones.
    D．The fight-or-flight response is beneficial to both our actions and organs.
    小题3:What activity can we infer is less likely to damage the organs?
    A．Winning an unexpected fortune.
    B．Missing a dead family member.
    C．Watching a horror movie.
    D．Listening to a sweet song.
    小题4:The purpose of the passage is ______.
    A．to explain why people will die of a heart attack
    B．to offer some advice on protecting us from heart failure
    C．to compare different kinds of feelings to cause a death
    D．to show strong emotions can cause a sudden death

    By 2050 there will have been an extra 2.5 billion people on earth. And what will they eat?
    To solve the problem, we should have to double our food production. We can also develop a diet of algae（海藻）, insects and meat grown in laboratories.
    Algae can grow very quickly at sea, in polluted water and in places that would normally kill food crops. They are already eaten widely in Japan and China and they are eaten by almost everything from shrimps to blue whales. They can fix CO2 in the atmosphere and provide fats and sugars.
    Man-made meat looks like meat, feels like meat and it is meat, although it’s never been from a living, breathing animal. Instead, it is grown from cells in big containers. Moreover, studies show that producing man-made meat will use far less water, energy and land.
    China has developed “green super rice”, a series of rice types which produce more grain and have stronger ability to fight against floods, salty water, insects and disease. We used traditional plant breeding（作物育种）techniques to cross-breed more than 250 rice types. Green super rice, which is enough to feed an extra 100 million people, will be planted widely in the coming years.
    Insects like ants are not on most European menus but at least 1,400 kinds are eaten across Africa, Latin America and Asia. Now, with rising food prices and worldwide land shortages, such insects are getting more and more popular. Not only are many insects rich in protein（蛋白质）, low in fat and high in Ca and Fe, but insect farms need little space. And they can grow well on paper, algae and industrial wastes.
    小题1:In order to exist in the future, people have to _______.
    A．move to other planets
    B．produce rain in laboratories
    C．build new laboratories for food research
    D．increase the food production or look for other food sources
    小题2:From the second paragraph we know that _______
    A．algae have a strong life force
    B．few people eat algae now
    C．algae have few values for human beings
    D．algae can pollute our environment
    小题3:Green super rice _______
    A．has to be watered with salty water
    B．can grow even in a bad environment
    C．includes no more than 250 rice kinds
    D．was developed with new technologies
    小题4:What can we learn from the passage?
    A．Green super rice is delicious but high in price.
    B．In Asia about 100 million people may be faced with food shortages.
    C．Man-made meat doesn’t look like meat but has the same taste as real meat.
    D．One of the reasons why many people begin to eat insects is their rich food value.

    Sure, it’s good to get along with your teacher because it makes the time you spend in the classroom more pleasant.
    And yes, it’s good to get along with your teacher because, in general, it’s smart to learn how to relate to (理解)the different types of people you’ll meet throughout your life.
    But really, there’s one super-important reason why you should get along with your teacher. When you do, “learning bursts right open,” says Evelyn Vuko, a longtime teacher who writes an education column（专栏） called “Teacher Says” for the Washington Post newspaper.
    In fact, kids who get along with their teachers not only learn more, but they’re more comfortable asking questions and getting extra help. This makes it easier to understand new material and do your best on tests. When you have this kind of relationship with a teacher, he or she can be someone to turn to with problems, such as problems with learning or school issues, such as bullying(欺负人). 
    As a kid in a primary or middle school, you’re at a wonderful stage in your life. You’re like a sponge(海绵), able to soak up lots of new and exciting information. On top of that, you’re able to think about all this information in new ways. Your teacher knows that, and in most cases, is very excited to be the person who’s giving you all that material and helping you put it together. Remember, teachers are people, too, and they feel great if you’re open to what they’re teaching you. That’s why they wanted to be teachers in the first place --- to teach!
    Some kids may be able to learn in any situation, whether they like the teacher or not. But most kids are sensitive to the way they get along with the teacher, and if things aren’t going well, they won’t learn as well and won’t enjoy being in class.
    小题1:The passage mainly talks about _____.
    A．how to get along well with teachers
    B．the importance of a good relation with teachers
    C．how much the students are expected of to get along with teachers
    D．how to make the time in the classroom more pleasant
    小题2: “Learning bursts right open” in the third paragraph really means _____.
    A．learning becomes easier for you at once　　　　　
    B．you find an opening to learning　　　　　
    C．there’ll be more problems with learning　　　　　
    D．there’ll be no problems with learning.
    小题3:According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
    A．You are getting on well with your teachers, so you have more questions than others.
    B．You find it comfortable to ask questions, so you can build a good relationship with teachers.
    C．You have a good relationship with teacher, so you can turn to him/ her when in trouble.
    D．You are in trouble, so you can build a good relationship with teachers.
    小题4:Which of the comments is FALSE on teachers and their work according to the passage?
    A．Teachers are excited even if you wouldn’t like to accept their teaching.
    B．Teachers sometimes have the same feelings as students do.　　　　
    C．Though few there are still some students who can learn even if they don’t like the teacher.　　
    D．Having a bad relationship with your teachers does more or less harm to your studies.

    Two thirds of the singles looking for love in Britain turned to the Internet last year, according to figures made in public yesterday. Special sites offer introductions to smokers, to Roman Catholics, tall people, beautiful people, frequent flyers and vegans (素食者). Technology has brought about a great change in the dating game.
    A survey by Parship, a British branch of Europe’s largest dating service with more than 1.5 million members, says that 65 percent of the 5.4 million Britons looking for a relationship used online dating services last year.
    A spokeswoman for Relate, the relationship advisor, confirmed that a figure of two third feel it all right. “Doing it online allows people quite a lot of privacy, because they can do a bit of quiet research and look around from the comfort of their own home. You don’t have to meet a middleman or go to an actual dating agency office, which takes a lot of courage,” she said.
    There are more than 100 independent online dating agencies in Britain. Parship says that 50 percent of single people believe they will meet a suitable partner through the Internet, up from 35 percent six months ago.
    Mary Balfour, the founder, says that the Internet has changed the dating industry completely. “It’s like a return to old-fashioned love letters,” she said. “You don’t base your initial judgment on how someone looks or what his or her figure is like. You e-mail or talk before you actually see each other. Everybody you know who is single these days has at least had a good look at a dating website, introduction agency or personal ad. They have to, because all the old matchmaking institutions have gone. People work harder, settle down later and live more isolated lives. They’re much more likely to end the day with a DVD and a can of beer than by going to a village dance.”
    小题1:Singles in Britain can look for love online mainly because of ________.
    A．ParshipB．the help of go-betweens
    C．technologyD．the revolution of dating game
    小题2:About ________ Britons tried to find love online last year according to this passage.
    A．1.5 millionB．3.5 millionC．5.4 millionD．65 million
    小题3:For those who want to look for love online, they _________.
    A．don’t need to do any research at all
    B．have to meet first before they can e-mail each other
    C．don’t have to find a go-between.
    D．must go to an actual dating agency office first
    小题4:From this passage we can infer that ________.
    A．not all single people believe the Internet can help them find their partners
    B．looking for love online needs a lot of courage
    C．old-fashioned love letters become popular again
    D．single people don’t like to look for their partners online.

    McDonald's is the world single biggest food provider with annual sales of around $12.4bn. And the company's symbol Ronald McDonald is now （or so the company claims） the word's most recognized person after Santa Claus.
    　　The first McDonald's restaurant was opened in San Bernardino, California, in 1948 by brothers Mac and Richard “Dick” McDonald. Mac ran the restaurant side; Dick was the marketing genius. He had already invented the drive-in laundry and had been the first person to use neon lights in advertising. Now he spotted the gap in the post-war, baby-boom market for cheap, family-orientated restaurants with simple menus, standardized food and efficient service.
    　　After a slow start, business began to boom. By 1954, the brothers were joined by another entrepreneur, a kitchen equipment salesman called Ray A Kroc who owned the franchise to the Multimixer, milk shake maker used throughout the McDonald's chain. A year later, Kroc had bought the McDonald brothers' chain of 25 franchises for the equivalent of around $70m（￡44m）. Dick remained with the company until the Seventies, when he and Kroc fell out over Kroc's claim that the chain was his creation.
    　　Today, an almost Stalinist cult of personality surrounds Kroc （who died in 1984） at McDonald's, while the brothers who gave the company its name have all but been written out of its history. But though Kroc did not found McDonald's, he was certainly responsible for the empire-building philosophy which led to its world domination. He ushered in such essential contributions to international cuisine as the Big Mac （1968） and the Egg McMuffin （1973）; and helped launch Ronald McDonald —— “in any language he means fun” —— on to television in 1963.
    　　Every three hours, a new McDonald's franchise opens somewhere in the world; it can be found in more than 100 countries including India （vegetarian-only to avoid offending the non-beef-eating populace） and Israel （non kosher, despite fierce local objection）. McDonald's chain embodied the thrusting, can-do spirit of Fifties America with staff mottoes such as “If you've got time to lean, you've go time to clean.”
    小题1: McDonald's was founded _____.
    A．by a kitchen equipment salesman
    B．in California.
    C．by a marketing genius called Dick McDonald.
    D．after the first World War.
    小题2:What do we know about McDonald's brothers?
    A．They were not McDonald's founders although they named the restaurant.
    B．Their business was still in depression after several years.
    C．They had clear job separation on business.
    D．They sold their restaurant to a salesman in 1954.
    小题3: Which is not Kroc's contribution to McDonald's ?
    A．He launched the restaurant image Ronald McDonald on to television.
    B．Under his lead, international cuisine as the Big Mac and the Egg McMuffin earned worldwide fame
    C．He spotted the gap in postwar market for cheap, family-orientated restaurants.
    D．He built McDonald's empire with a philosophy which led to its world domination.
    小题4:Which statement is true according to the passage?
    A．The single biggest food provider was however, not named after its founder
    B．The international cuisine as the Big Mac, a beef hamburger, is provided every chain restaurant in the world.
    C．Employees in McDonald's have no time to lean.
    D．The symbol Ronald McDonald, means fun in any language, is said to the word most recognized person after Santa Claus.

    How do you know if your home is an easy aim for thefts? Around the holidays, many families don't consider taking proper measures to prevent their homes from suffering holiday thefts． With just a few simple steps, you can better make sure of the safety of your home during all of the holiday celebrations． Here are a few tips for making it difficult to tell you are away from home．
    ●Either have a trusted neighbor pick up your mail and newspapers, or tell your mailperson to hold your mail until you return． Nothing says “Hey, we are not home!” like when your postbox is filled with all kinds of mails and you have many different newspapers in your driveway．

    Some years ago, writing in my diary used to be a usual activity. I would return from school and spend the expected half hour recording the day’s events, feelings, and impressions in my little blue diary. I did not really need to express my emotions by way of words, but I gained a certain satisfaction from seeing my experiences forever recorded on paper. After all, isn’t accumulating memories a way of preserving the past?
    When I was thirteen years old, I went on a long journey on foot in a great valley, well-equipped with pens, a diary, and a camera. During the trip, I was busy recording every incident, name and place I came across. I felt proud to be spending my time productively, dutifully preserving for future generations a detailed description of my travels. On my last night there, I wandered out of my tent, diary in hand. The sky was clear and lit by the glare of the moon, and the walls of the valley looked threatening behind their screen of shadows. I automatically took out my pen…
    At that point, I understood that nothing I wrote could ever match or replace the few seconds I allowed myself to experience the dramatic beauty of the valley. All I remembered of the previous few days were the dull characterizations I had set down in my diary.
    Now, I only write in my diary when I need to write down a special thought or feeling. I still love to record ideas and quotations that strike me in books, or observations that are particularly meaningful. I take pictures, but not very often—only of objects I find really beautiful. I’m no longer blindly satisfied with having something to remember when I grow old. I realize that life will simply pass me by if I stay behind the camera, busy preserving the present so as to live it in the future.
    I don’t want to wake up one day and have nothing but a pile of pictures and notes. Maybe I won’t have as many exact representations of people and places； maybe I’ll forget certain facts, but at least the experiences will always remain inside me. I don’t live to make memories—I just live, and the memories form themselves.
