    As she walked round the large shop, Edith realized how difficult it was to choose a suitable Christmas   1 for her father.
    She wished that he were as easy to   2 as her mother, who was always   3  with perfume (香水). Besides, shoping at this time of the year was a most   4  job.

    Partly to have a rest, Edith paused in front of a counter, where some beautiful ties were on show . "They are real silk," the shop assistant told her with a smile trying to   7  her to buy one. But Edith knew from past   8  that her choice of ties hardly ever pleased her father.
    She moved on slowly and then, quite by chance,  9  where a small crowd of men had gathered round a counter. She found some fine pipes on sale and the shapes were very beautiful. Edith did not hesitate for long, although her father   10  smoked a pipe once in a while, she believed this was   11  to please him.
    When she got home, with her small but   12  present hidden in her handbag, it was time for supper and her parents were already at table. Her mother was in great   13  . "Your father has at last decided to stop smoking," she told her daughter happily. Edith was so   14  that she could not  15  a single word.

    One evening in February 2007, a student named Paula Ceely brought her car to a stop on a remote road in Wales. She got out to open a metal gate that blocked her path. That's when she heard the whistle sounded by the driver of a train. Her Renault Clio was parked across a railway line. Seconds later, she watched the train drag her car almost a kilometre down the railway tracks.
    Ceely's near miss made the news because she blamed it on her GPS (导航仪). She had never driven the route before. It was dark and raining heavily. Ceely was relying on her GPS, but it made no mention of the crossing. "I put my complete trust in the device and it led me right into the path of a speeding train." she told the BBC.
    Who is to blame here? Rick Stevenson, who tells Ceely's story in his book When Machines Fail Us, points the finger at the limitations of technology. We put our faith in digital devices, he says, but our digital helpers are too often not up to the job. They are filled with small problems. And it's not just GPS devices: Stevenson takes us on a tour of digital disasters involving everything from mobile phones to wireless keyboards.
    The problem with his argument in the book is that it's not clear why he only focuses on digital technology, while there may be a number of other possible causes. A map-maker might have left the crossing off a paper map. Maybe we should blame Ceely for not paying attention. Perhaps the railway authorities are at fault for poor signalling system. Or maybe someone has studied the relative dangers and worked out that there really is something specific wrong with the GPS equipment. But Stevenson doesn't say.
    It's a problem that runs through the book. In a section on cars, Stevenson gives an account of the advanced techniques that criminals use to defeat computer-based locking systems for cars. He offers two independent sets of figures on car theft; both show a small rise in some parts of the country. He says that once again not all new locks have proved reliable. Perhaps, but maybe it's also due to the shortage of policemen on the streets. Or changing social circumstances. Or some combination of these factors.
    The game between humans and their smart devices is amusing and complex. It is shaped by economics and psychology and the cultures we live in. Somewhere in the mix of those forces there may be a way for a wiser use of technology.
    If there is such a way, it should involve more than just an awareness of the shortcomings of our machines. After all, we have lived with them for thousands of years. They have probably been fooling us for just as long.
    小题1:What did Paula Ceely think was the cause of her accident?
    A．She was not familiar with the road.
    B．It was dark and raining heavily then.
    C．The railway workers failed to give the signal.
    D．Her GPS device didn't tell her about the crossing.
    小题2: The phrase "near miss" (Paragraph 2) can best be replaced by ________.
    A．close hitB．heavy loss
    C．narrow escapeD．big mistake
    小题3:Which of the following would Rick Stevenson most probably agree with?
    A．Modern technology is what we can't live without.
    B．Digital technology often falls short of our expectation.
    C．Digital devices are more reliable than they used to be.
    D．GPS error is not the only cause for Ceely's accident.
    小题4:In the writer's opinion, Stevenson's argument is ________.
    A．one-sidedB．reasonableC．puzzlingD．well-based
    小题5:What is the real concern of the writer of this article?
    A．The major causes of traffic accidents and car thefts.
    B．The relationship between human and technology.
    C．The shortcomings of digital devices we use.
    D．The human unawareness of technical problems.

    In 1933 an unknown American called Clarence Nash went to see the filmmaker Walt Disney. He had an unusual voice and he wanted to work in Disney’s cartoon film for children. When Walt Disney heard Nash’s voice, he said “Stop! That’s our duck!”
    The duck was the now-famous Donald Duck, who first appeared in 1934 in the film The Wise Little Hen. Donald lived in an old houseboat(水上住家) and wore his sailor jacket and hat. Later that year he became a star after an eight-minute Mickey Mouse film. The cinema audience liked him because he was lazy and greedy, and because he lost his temper very quickly. And they loved his voice when he became angry with Mickey’s eight nephews. Soon Donald was more popular than Mickey Mouse himself, probably because he wasn’t a goody-goody like Mickey.
    In the 1930s, 40s and 50s Donald and his friends Mickey, Goofy and Pluto made hundreds of Disney cartoons. He also made educational films about the place of the USA in the world, and safety in the home. Then in 1966 Donald Duck and his voice disappeared---there were no more new cartoons.
    Clarence Nash died in February, 1985. But today’s children can still see the old cartoons on television and hear that famous voice.
    小题1:Who made Donald Duck film?
    A．Mickey MouseB．Clarence NashC．Walt DisneyD．Pluto
    小题2:When did Donald Duck become popular?
    A．In 1933B．In 1934C．In 1966D．In 1930
    小题3:Where do today’s children see Donald Duck?
    A．In new filmB．At the cinemaC．On televisionD．At concerts
    小题4:The underlined word “goody-goody” in the second paragraph means a person who __________ .
    A．likes to appear to be faultless in behavior
    B．likes to appear to be faulty in behavior
    C．dislikes to appear to be faultless in behavior
    D．dislikes to be faulty in behavior
    小题5:What’s the main idea of the second paragraph?

    In February 2006, Lydia Angyiou and her two sons were walking through their village in northern Canada. The sound of children shouting made her turn around. To her horror, Lydia saw a 700-pound polar bear behind her eyeing her seven-year-old son. Getting between the bear and her child, Lydia yelled at the children to run away. She then began hitting and kicking the animal as hard as she could. A neighbor who heard all the noise came and shot the bear. But everyone agreed it was Lydia who had saved her children’s lives. A local policeman described it this way: “… I guess when your back is up against the wall, … we come up with super-human strength.”
    Where does this “super-human strength”, courage and quick thinking come from? Experts say it comes from stress! In stressful situations, the body releases chemicals that prepare it to take action. These chemicals give people the speed and strength they need to fight danger or run away from it.
    When we think of stress, we usually think of its negative effects. Studies, though, show that moderate levels of stress are actually helpful. In fact, the way we perform is usually affected by the amount of stress we feel.
    Stress causes the brain to release adrenaline(肾上腺素) which in turn increases our energy and excitement. The chemical gives us clearer minds and helps us to do more. This is why some people say they work better under a deadline.
    Adrenaline that is not released for long periods of time can cause us to increase and strengthen our abilities instead of weakening them. We sometimes turn out our very best work when we push ourselves to the limit. Stress can also make us more confident. Handling small amounts of stress now prepares us for handling serious situations in the future. Who knows? Today’s stress may even prepare for the next polar bear that comes along!
    小题1:In the first paragraph, the case of Lydia Angyiou is mentioned to______.
    A．introduce the topic to be followed
    B．remind us of the unexpected danger of life
    C．praise Lydia Angyiou for her bravery
    D．show the importance of super-human strength
    小题2:What does the policeman probably mean by saying “your back is up against the wall”?
    A．You are helped.B．You are inspired.
    C． You are confident.D．You are cornered.
    小题3:What would be the best title for the passage?
    A．Brave MotherB．The Cause of Stress
    C．The Benefit of StressD．Super-human Strength

    Nobel, who was born in Stockholm, is a great scientist famous for his dangerous experiments.
    Nobel studied in the USA and then Russia between 1850 and 1859. After his return, he started researching into bombs. As is known, bomb is dangerous to life, but Nobel was working under that condition. Once a big explosion in his lab completely destroyed the lab and caused some deaths. After that he had to experiment on a boat in a lake. He received criticism and satire(讽刺), but he proceeded with the work rather than losing heart. From 1860s to 1880s, Nobel made many achievements and his inventions were first used in building roads and digging tunnels. Most of the bombs were safer and more possible to be controlled. Even at the end of the 20th century, we still used his methods.
    Nobel had many patents in Britain and other European countries. He was quick to see industrial openings(机会) for his scientific inventions and built up over 80 companies in 20 different countries. Indeed his greatness lay in his outstanding ability to combine the qualities of an original scientist with those of a forward­looking industrialist.
    But Nobel’s main concern was never with making money or even with making scientific discoveries. Seldom happy, he was always searching for a meaning to life, and from his youth, he had taken a serious interest in literature and philosophy. His greatest wish, however, was to see an end to wars, and thus peace between nations, and he spent much time and money working for this cause. To follow his will, a fund was set up to encourage people to make great progress in physics, chemistry, physiology(生理学), medicine, literature and peace. That’s the Nobel Prize which means great honor to a scientist.
    小题1:Through his early experimental work, it is evident that ________.
    A．Nobel was a man of strong will
    B．Nobel was a man of gift
    C．Nobel seldom got on well with his work
    D．Nobel had his heart in his work
    小题2:In fact, his inventions were first used in ________.
    A．a war to kill and injure his fellow menB．building roads
    C．digging tunnelsD．both B and C
    小题3:Based on the passage, Nobel, as a scientist, ________.
    A．took a single interest in science
    B．took a serious interest in money
    C．took no interest in literature
    D．took a serious interest in literature as well as in science
    小题4:Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
    A．His wonderful will surely provided other scientists with a large sum of money.
    B．In leaving behind a well­meant will, Nobel succeeded in setting up a permanent monument for his interests and ideals.
    C．Nobel made a glorious will so that he might be remembered and respected after his death.
    D．Nobel expressed his wish in his will that a monument should be put up in memory of him.

    Steve Jobs-A surprising success.
    Nothing in the early years of Steve Job’s life suggested that he would be so successful. Born in San Francisco, the child of two students, he was adopted and grew up close to Silicon Valley. While at company-and he and his best friend Steve Wozniak got summer jobs there.
    After finishing high school in 1972, Jobs studied at an expensive liberal arts college in Portland, Oregon but he dropped pout after one after one term. He grew his hair and a beard, slept on friends’ floors, and sometimes went to a Hare Krishna temple for free meals. Like many drop-outs at that Beatles-inspired time, his ambition was to visit a guru（古鲁[印度教的宗师或领袖]）in India, which he eventually did with a friend. When they got there, the guru had died.
