    On Keeping a Diary in English
    Keeping a diary in English is one of the effective ways to improve our English writing ability.  Compared with other forms of writing, it is  36  and takes less time. It can help us to develop the habit of thinking in English.   37 we stick to this practice, gradually, we'll learn how to express ourselves in English.  In keeping a diary in English, we   38 run up against a lot of difficulties. In the first place, it happens that we have trouble in   39 appropriate words and phrases to give expression to 40 mind. Secondly, there are many idiomatic ways of saying things in Chinese. And it is extremely   41  for us to put them into English properly. Surely, there are some other roadblocks we may come across  42 keeping a diary in English.
    As far as I am concerned, my suggestion is that we should always have a(n)   43  and a Chinese-English dictionary within easy   44  . Whenever something beats us, we can put it down in our notebook and then consult our dictionary. We can also  45  to English teachers for help, if necessary. In short, I believe that it is of great use to keep a diary in English for the development of our writing skills.

    Can you remember a morning when you’ve woken up to the ring of your alarm clock and wished you could stay in bed? You haven’t slept well, your hair is a mess. Worse, you can’t stop yawning. Yawning is universal to humans and many animals. Cats, dogs and fish yawn just like humans do! Yawning is an involuntary(无意识的,不自觉的) action during which you open your mouth and breathe deeply. The average duration of a yawn is about 6 seconds.
    The purpose and cause of yawning are still a mystery. Scientists are not sure what causes a yawn. People yawn when they are tired or bored, but they also yawn when they aren’t. There are many ideas explaining why we yawn.
    One idea is that yawning is a way for the body to become more alert by taking in more oxygen. A yawn increases the heart rate, forces carbon dioxide out of the lungs and blood stream, and brings oxygen to the brain. But one study showed that volunteers given a lot of oxygen did not yawn any less than before, while those given a lot of carbon dioxide did not yawn more.
    Another idea is that early humans used yawning as a form of communication. If one decided it was time to sleep, they would tell the others by yawning and they would do it in return to show they agreed.
    A third explanation comes from psychology professor Gordon Gallup of University at Albany in New York. He said that as people yawn, they cool off their brains. “Brains are like computers.” he said. “They only operate efficiently and effectively when they’re cool. Many things connected to yawning, like being tired, make the brain hot, and yawning can reduce the heat.”
    Scientists have sent people into space, and created terrible nuclear weapons, but there are lots of seemingly simple things, such as why we yawn, or hiccup（打嗝）, that they can’t figure out. Next time you are in class in the morning, let out a big yawn and watch to see how many of your classmates yawn in response!
    小题1:What’s the purpose of the description of how bad you may feel when you’re woken up in the morning?
    A．To explain why humans yawn.
    B．To explain how humans start yawning.
    C．To lead into the topic of yawning.
    D．To complain about being woken up by the clock.
    小题2:Which is not among the possible reasons for yawning mentioned in the passage?
    A．A way to show that you feel hot.
    B．A way to get rid of carbon dioxide.
    C．A way to cool off your brain.
    D．A way to communicate.
    小题3:In which situation are you likely to yawn?
    A．When you feel frustrated.
    B．The weather is hot.
    C．Someone else yawns near you.
    D．When you breathe in a lot of carbon dioxide.
    小题4:What can we learn from the passage?
    A．The real reason why humans and most animals yawn.
    B．Hiccups are an involuntary human action similar to yawns.
    C．The more an action can be studied, the easier it is to research.
    D．Finding out why humans yawn should be easier than sending people into space.

    The world is not hungry, but it is thirsty. It seems strange that nearly 3/4 of the earth is covered with water while we say we are short of water. Why? Because about 97% of water on the earth is sea water which we can’t drink or use for watering plants directly. Man can only drink and use the 3% the water that comes from rivers and lakes. And we can’t even use all of that, because some of it has been polluted.
    Now more water is needed. The problem is: can we avoid a serious water shortage later on? First, we should all learn how to save water. Secondly, we should find out the ways to reuse it. Scientists have always been making study in this field. Today, in most large cities water is used only once and then runs to the sea or rivers. But it can be used again. Even if every large city reused its water, still there would not be enough. What could people turn to next?
    The sea seems to have the best answer. There is a lot of water in the sea. All that needs to be done is to get the salt out of the sea water. This is expensive, but it’s already in use in many parts of the world. Scientists are trying to find a cheaper way of doing it. So you see, if we can find a way out, we’ll be in no danger of drying up.
    小题1:The world is thirsty because ___________.
    A．3/4 of the earth is covered with water
    B．we have enough sea water
    C．we haven’t used all the water in rivers and lakes
    D．about 97% of water on the earth can’t be drunk or used for watering plants directly
    小题2:Which of the following is TRUE?
    A．3% of drinkable water on the earth is from rivers and lakes.
    B．75% of water on the earth is in the sea.
    C．97% of the earth is covered with water.
    D．3% of water on the earth is sea water.
    小题3:From the passage we learn that __________.
    A．if every city reuses its water, we’ll be in no danger of drying up
    B．man can only drink and use about 25% of water on the earth
    C．today in most large cities water is used only once
    D．water can be used only once

    Have you heard of the saying, “If anything is worth doing, it is worth doing well”? The proverb is a piece of advice to make effects towards perfection in whichever job one does. It could be a small task like folding up your clothes, or a major one like organizing a business meeting in your later life.
    Perfection just needs paying attention to details. If it is your job to dust the furniture at home, dust it so that not a single spot of dirt shows from any direction. If your task is to make the beds, make them so that not a single crease（皱纹）shows on the bed-covers.
    There are only two ways to do a job: either sloppily, or well. If you choose the latter, you need to realize that any job that qualifies as (取得…的资格)“your” work deserves your best. Perfection is an attitude that can be developed with just a little effect. It is a habit that is helpful to a person in later life. Let us prove with an example: you may be asked to turn in an essay on, for example, wildlife, for a school project. Instead of writing carelessly a few facts that you already know, you could make the project more effective by looking up a reference books, encyclopedias（百科全书）or websites for additional information. You could then go over the finished essay for slips（疏漏）and errors, and provide pictures where necessary. If you make it a habit to put in extra effort in your school homework, will it not help you to handle more difficult projects at the college or university level?
    As Michelangelo, the famous 16th century sculptor and painter, once put it: Trifles（琐事）go to make perfection, and perfection is no trifle.
    小题1:According to the passage, to achieve perfection is _______.
    A．to realize the quality of the work
    B．to pay attention to details of one’s work
    C．to do as many jobs as possible
    D．to form the habit of doing things ahead of time
    小题2:The underlined word “sloppily” in paragraph 3 may mean _______
    A．badlyB．patientlyC．carefullyD．slowly
    小题3:What can be inferred from the third paragraph?
    A．It is necessary to provide pictures for your essay.
    B．Websites are the sources of information you want.
    C．Perfection is a habit that promises a good future.
    D．You should make much effort to develop perfection.
    小题4:The purpose of writing this passage is to _______.
    A．introduce the famous painter Michelangelo
    B．advise us to do the things that are worth doing
    C．explain to us the meaning of the perfection
    D．expect us to give our best to our work

    Too many people want others to be their friends, but they don’t give friendship back. That is why some friendships don’t last very long. To have a friend, you must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend to treat you. Learning to be a good friend means learning three rules: be honest; be generous (宽宏大量的)；be understanding.
    Honesty is where a good friendship starts. Friends must be able to trust one another. If you don’t tell the truth, people usually find out. If a friend finds out that you haven’t been honest, you may lose your friend’s trust. Good friends always count on one another to speak and act honestly.
    Generosity means sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow. You don’t have to give your lunch money or your clothes, or enjoy, like your hobbies and your interests. Naturally you will want to share your ideas and feelings. These can be very valuable to a friend. They tell your friend what is important to you. By sharing them you help your friend know you better.
    Sooner or later everyone needs understanding and help with a problem. Something may go wrong at school. Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve . Turning to a friend can be a first step in solving the problem. So to be a friend you must listen and understand. You must try to put yourself in your friend’s place so you can understand the problem better.
    No two friendships are ever exactly alike (相同). But all true friendships have three things in common. If you plan to keep your friendships, you must practice honesty, generosity and understanding.

    Clearly if we are to participate in the society in which we live, we must communicate with other people. A great deal of communicating is performed on a person-to-person basis by the simple means of speech. If we travel in buses, buy things in shops, or eat in restaurants, we are likely to have conversations where we give information or opinions, receive news or comment, and very likely to have our views challenged by other members of society.
    Face to face contact is by no means the only form of communication and during the last two hundred years the art of mass communication has become one of the dominating factors of contemporary society. Two things, above others, have caused the enormous growth of the communication industry. Firstly, inventiveness has led to advanced imprinting, telecommunications photography, radio and television. Secondly, speed has revolutionized the transmission (传输) and reception of communications so that local news often takes a back seat to national news, which itself is often almost eclipsed( 侵蚀) by international news.
    No longer is the possession of information confined to(只限于) a privileged minority. In the last century the wealthy man with his own library was indeed fortunate, but today there are public libraries. For years ago people used to flock to the cinema, but now far more people sit at home and turn on the TV to watch a programme that is being channeled into millions of homes.
    Communication is no longer merely concerned with the transmission of information. The modem communication industry influences the way people live in society and broadens their horizons by allowing access to information, education and entertainment. The printing, broadcasting and advertising industries are all involved with informing, educating and entertaining.
    Although a great deal of the material communicated by the mass media is very valuable to the individual and to the society of which he is part, the vast modem network of communications is open to abuse(滥用). However, the mass media are with us for better, for worse, and there is no turning back.
    小题1:In the first paragraph the writer emphasizes the       of face-to-face contact in social setting.
    A．natureB．limitationC．creativityD．usefulness
    小题2:It is implied in the passage that         .
    A．local news used to be the only source of information
    B．local news still takes a significant place
    C．national news is becoming more popular
    D．international news is the fastest transmitted news
    小题3:Which of the following statements is NOT true?       
    A．Possessing information used to be a privilege.
    B．Public libraries have replaced the private completely.
    C．Communication means more than transmission.
    D．Information influences ways of life and thinking.
    小题4:From the last paragraph we can infer that the writer is       .
    A．indifferent to the harmful influence of the mass media
    B．happy about the flexible changes in the mass media
    C．pessimistic about the future of the mass media
    D．concerned about the wrong use of the mass media

    How to protect children Web fans from unsuitable material on-line while encouraging them to use the Internet has long been discussed in the US.
    For some parents, the Internet can seem like a jungle, filled with danger for their children. But jungles contain wonders as well as danger. With good guides, some education, and a few precautions(预防 ), the wilds of the Internet can be safely navigated. “Kids have to be on-line. If we tell our kids they can’t be allowed to surf the Internet, we’re cutting them off from their future,” said an expert.
    Most kids have started to use search engines. Many of them are great for finding tons of interesting Internet sites, and they can also locate places where you might not want your kids to go. There are search engines designed just for kids. A certain software contains only sites that have been selected as safe. The most popular way would be to use what is known as a “content screener”. But this can’t be wholly reliable(可靠 ), and the best thing parents can do is to talk to their kids and let them know what is OK or not OK to see or do on the Internet. Another way is that mum or dad is nearby when the child is surfing the Internet.
    A few other tips:
    —Do not put the PC in a child’s room but keep it in an area where mum or dad can keep an eye on things. That also makes the Internet more of a family activity.
    —Ask your child what he or she has been doing and about any friends they make on-line.
    ―Tell your child not to give on-line strangers personal information, especially like address and phone number.
    And tell your children never to talk to anyone they meet on-line over the phone, send them anything, accept anything from them or agree to meet with them unless you go along.
    小题1:What is the best way to protect children from improper material?
    A．To talk to the children and persuade them to tell right from wrong.
    B．To be nearby when the children are surfing the Internet.
    C．To fix a content screener on the computer.
    D．To buy some search engines for children.
    小题2:Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
    A．Surfing the Internet is the best way of educating children.
    B．Using a content screener is most reliable for keeping children from having ways to the Internet.
    C．Searching engines can help children to select materials fit for them.
    D．Children’s not having chances to go to the Internet may have effect on their progress.
    小题3:According to the passage, we can infer that ____.
    A．softwares that are fit for children who want programming
    B．the Internet contains a lot of harmful sites
    C．the Internet will be protected by law
    D．a child who is on-line is in danger
    小题4:What does the passage tell us most?
    A．EducationB．Good guidesC．PrecautionsD．Software

    Whales live in the ocean, but they are not fish. They are warm-blooded mammals and must have air to breathe. The babies are born alive and drink milk from the mother's body. It took millions of years for the whale to develop as it is today.
    Every spring groups of whales swim hundreds of kilometers to warm places to bear their young. Each group goes to the same place every year. The mothers take very good care of their babies. The fully grown whales are very gentle and playful with each other, and with humans. They “talk” to each other with a high noise that  sounds beautiful. This“talking” can be heard for more than 300 kilometers in open waters.
    Yet humans kill over a hundred whales a day. They kill them to make whale oils and a lot of other things. Killing them is a modern business with modern machines and even harpoons( 鱼叉炮) that explode( 爆炸) inside the whales. A whale dies very slowly and in great pain. Some ships kill every whale they can find, even the mothers and babies. Then there are no young whales to grow up or to bear more young.
