    “There are no real friends or enemies in the business world”. This saying may have been on the minds of bosses at China’s main online video providers, Youku.com Inc and Tudou Holdings Ltd, when the one-time rivals（对手）agreed to merge (合并) on March 12. The deal will create the country’s largest company in the online video industry, Youku Tudou Inc.
    Three months ago, the two companies were involved in a copyright dispute. On December 12, Tudou charged Youku.com with illegally airing the entertainment series, Kangxi is coming. Tudou was the only company which had rights to the series. In response, Youku filed a lawsuit（诉讼） against Tudou, claiming the company was broadcasting more than 50 Youku-owned TV series.
    According to analysts, the deal came out of the market battle between the two companies. Each spent so much money buying licensed content that they ended up in the red last year. “Funding pressures are the main reason for the deal,” said Shi Jialong, a Hong Kong-based analyst with CLSA Asia-Pacific Markets. “After the merger, there might be a fall in copyright purchase prices, which is good for the industry in the short term.”
    The new company will face competition from Web portals(门户网站) providing similar services. Youku owned 21.8 percent of Chin’s online video market in the last quarter of last year and Tudou 13.7 percent, but Sohu.com followed close on the heels with 13.3 percent, according to domestic research company Analysys International.
    Some analysts do not feel the deal will secure the market for Youku Tudou. Shi Yu, CEO of media company KU6, said the merger was unlikely to have a “one plus one more than two” effect. In his opinion, video-hosting sites need to find new ways of generation profit to succeed in the market.
    小题1:The main reason for Youku.com Inc and Tudou Holdings Ltd to merge is that           .
    A．the two companies were in great demand of money
    B．they were charge with illegally airing the entertainment series
    C．the two companies created the country’s largest company
    D．they intended to cut down the prices of copyrights
    小题2:The underlined words “in the red” in the third paragraph mean “         ”.
    A．in a big fightB．in a great trouble C．at a lossD．at a distance
    小题3:What do the last two paragraphs imply?
    A．Shi Yu doesn’t think it a good idea for the two companies to merge.
    B．The merger is really a win-win deal for the companies involved.
    C．The merger may not promise a bright future for Youku Tudou.
    D．The new company will be more competitive after the merger.
    小题4:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
    A．The merge will benefit the online video industry to some degree.
    B．The two companies spent lots of money building video-hosting sites.
    C．Youku Tudou Inc currently controls half of the online video market in China.

    After my brother died in an accident, my mother was in deep sadness. I was only a four-year-old girl at the time, but I still understood the sudden shift in my mom’s attitude towards safety. Suddenly everything around us was potentially dangerous. Overnight, the world had gone from a playground to a dangerous zone. I grew up with a lot of limits and rules. I couldn’t walk home from school by myself, even though everyone I knew already did. I couldn’t go to summer camp because what if something happened to me?
    As I got older, the list of things of fear got longer. My whole life was divided into “things you should avoid”, and “things you needed to do in order to have a good, long life.” I became a natural worrier. I worry about things like getting cancer, losing my wallet, car accidents, earthquakes, and losing my job — disasters big and small, real and imagined.
    The funny part is that you’d never know it by looking at my life. In fact, I’ve developed a rule for myself: If it scares me, then I have to do it at least once. I’ve done lots of things that my mom would have worried about: I’ve ridden a motorcycle; I’ve traveled —a lot. I’ve performed stand-up comedy, and I’m planning my second wedding.
    There’s something else I don’t usually talk about, but it’s a cornerstone in my belief: When I was 14, my mother died suddenly in a car accident. At my mom’s funeral I remember making a choice. I could either live out the rest of my life trying to be “safe” or I could be brave enough to live out a fulfilling, exciting and, yes, sometimes dangerous life.
    I worry that I may have betrayed(背叛) my mother by writing her in this light, but she has been a driving force in my life and, in the end I think she would have been proud of me. Courage isn’t a natural character of human beings. I believe that using courage is like developing a muscle. The more often I do things that scare me or that make me uncomfortable, the more I realize that I can do a lot more than I originally thought I could do.
    Even though I inherited (继承) my mother’s cautious nature. I’ve also come to believe that fear can be a good thing, if we face it. Believing that has made my world a less scary place.
    小题1:In the writer’s childhood, the limits and rules were used to ______.
    A．improve her behaviorB．develop her independence
    C．be in memory of her dead brotherD．protect her from possible danger
    小题2: How does the writer deal with the things that frighten her?
    A．She just ignores them.B．She faces up to them.
    C．She turns to her mother for help.D．She does them with her friends.
    小题3:From the passage, we can learn that ______.
    A．the writer failed in her first marriage
    B．nothing can make the writer afraid now
    C．frightening things made the writer lose her self-confidence
    D．the writer’s mother felt annoyed with her
    小题4:What does the passage mainly talk about?
    A．Mothers influence their children much.
    B．Fear is in fact not a bad thing.
    C．Facing fear bravely produces courage.
    D．The world is not as scary as people expect.

    I live in the land of Disney, Hollywood and year - round sun．You may think People ,n such an attractive, fun - filled place are happier than others．If so you have some mistaken ideas about the nature of happiness．
    Many intelligent people still think fun equals happiness．The truth is that fun and happiness have little or nothing in common．Fun is what we experience during an act．Happiness is what we experience after an act．It is a deep, long-lasting emotion．
    Going to an amusement park or a ball game, watching a movie or television are fun activities that help us relax, temporally forget our problems and maybe even laugh．But they do not bring happiness, because their positive effects end when the fun ends．
    I have often thought that if Hollywood stars have a role to play, it is to teach us that happiness has nothing to do with fun．They have constant access to exciting parties, fancy cars, expensive homes, everything that spells "happiness" But in memoir（回忆录） after memoir, they expose Ac unhappiness hidden beneath all their fun: depression, alcoholism, drug addiction, broken marriages and loneliness．
    Ask a bachelor why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying．If he is honest, he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment．For commitment is in fact quite painful．The single life is filled with fun, adventure and excitement．Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features．
    Similarly, couples that choose not to have children are deciding in favor of painless fun over painful happiness．They can dine out whenever they want and sleep as late as they want．Couples with babies are lucky to get a whole night' s sleep．I don't know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children．
    Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations we can ever come to．It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can truly increase our happiness．It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless．And it frees us from envy: we now understand that all those rich and famous people we were so sure are happy because they are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all．
    小题1:What is the passage mainly about?
    A．Fun and happiness．
    B．Success and satisfaction．
    C．Marriage and commitment．
    D．Entertainment and responsibility．
    小题2:The author probably agrees that ____．
    A．fun creates long - lasting satisfaction
    B．long - standing fun may lead to happiness
    C．fun is short-lived while happiness is long-lasting
    D．fun provides enjoyment while pain leads to happiness
    小题3:What does the author think of marriage?
    A．It ends in pain．
    B．It means commitment．
    C．It affords greater fun．
    D．It leads to raising children．
    【小题14If one gets the real meaning of happiness, he ____．
    A．will start a business
    B．won' t place too much value on money
    C．will seek for freedom
    D．won't devote himself to his family

    Steve Fossett did not really look like an adventurer, but he reached some of the most difficult goals in sailing and flying.
    Fossett was most proud of being the first person to fly around the world alone in a hot-air balloon. To make a trip around the world alone, it was necessary to have an improved autopilot (自动驾驶仪) device. Fossett had one of his team members develop a more advanced balloon autopilot that would allow him to sleep and do other tasks while flying safely.
    Steve Fossett attempted the hot-air balloon trip around the world six times. This was not easy to do. He flew in the balloon’s capsule (密封舱) that was too small to stand upright. During his fourth attempt in 1998, he was almost killed during a storm off the coast of Australia. He fell 9,000 meters into the Coral Sea with his balloon’s capsule on fire. He was later rescued at sea.
    Fossett successfully made the trip in 2002. The trip started and ended in Australia. He traveled more than 33,000 kilometers for more than 14 days. On this flight, Fossett set other records including a speed record of 322 kilometers per hour. One main problem with earlier balloon flights was the threat of dangerous storms. A team of weather experts e-mailed and talked to Fossett by a satellite telephone to help him avoid such weather.   
    Steve Fossett’s hot-air balloon is now at the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C.  It is there as an example for other people to try and succeed in doing something important to them.
    小题1:What did Steve Fossett specially prepare for the trip around the world?
    A．He made the balloon’s capsule bigger.
    B．He had an autopilot impvoved.
    C．He formed a team to fly with him.
    D．He improved the balloon’s engine.
    小题2:Steve Fossett solved the problem of bad weather on his trip by ______.
    A．communicating with experts
    B．using his rich experience
    C．inventing a satellite phone
    D．consulting other adventurers
    小题3:We can learn from the text that Steve Fossett was ______.
    A．patient and carefulB．modest and easy-going
    C．brave and determinedD．energetic and kind-hearted
    小题4:What can we learn about Steve’s flight in 2002?
    A．He was rescued during the trip.
    B．He lost his way over the sea.
    C．It lasted over three weeks.
    D．He set a speed record of balloon flight.

    I learned about life from an ant farm．When I was seven years old, my family created one．First, we put clean sand in a thin glass box, and then we waited for the live ants to arrive．Shortly after the chilly ants were dropped into the glass structure, they got to work making tunnels．I was amazed that each one knew exactly what to do．After hours of staring, I realized that the ants had assigned jobs．With my mom ' s help, I kept a diary of what happened each day and named the ants．
    One day a tragedy struck the ant farm．The pages of the diary, still wrinkled where tear drops fell, indicate the depth of the tragedy．'I had put my face so close to the structure that I accidentally tipped it over, caving in all the tunnels．Although the ants survived their earthquake, one by one they began to die．I was terrified as I watched them give up their tunnel-building to carry the bodies to a comer of the farm．My mother reported that the ants were dying of "frustration．" They simply could not stand the reality that their tunnels had been destroyed．
