    Have you ever thought about what you would like to do after school? Perhaps one of these rather different jobs will suit you.
    TASTER: Food companies need people to taste the products that they are making. So many kinds of no bad-tasting food are put onto the supermarket shelves. All tasters do all day is take small bites of food. They make notes of what tastes good and what tastes bad. It is not a job for those who would like to stay thin.
    SNAKE MILKER: This involves taking the poison out of a snake’s teeth. You hold the snake over a glass and make it open its mouth very wide. The poison will then drip from the back of the teeth into the glass; this is known as milking the snake. You have to be very brave if you want to try this.
    GOLF BALL HUNTER: You will spend your day diving into waterholes at different golf courses to hunt for lost golf balls. You could be picking up as many as 5,000 balls a day. Many golfers are willing to buy used golf balls and you could be making a lot of money.
    CLOCK CLEANER: Every day you will be climbing to the top of the clock towers in the city. Your responsibilities will be to oil, wind and repair the clocks. This is not a job for someone who is afraid of heights.

    阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。
      Ask Dr ? Jeffers
    		This month Dr. Jeffers is answering questions about the human brain and how it works.
    Dear Dr. Jeffers,
    One of my colleagues, Felix Moeller, told me that scientists are learning to use computer to ‘read minds’. Is there any truth to this story/
    —Jane Leon, New York, USA
    Dear Ms. Leon,
    Well, a lot of research is being conducted in this area, but so far, the brain scanning equipment and corresponding computer programs haven’t been able to actually read thoughts. In one experiment, test subjects（受试者）were connected to scanning equipment and shown two numbers on a screen. They were then asked to choose between adding or subtracting（减）the two numbers. Using this method, researchers were able to follow brain processes and make the correct assumptions（假设）70 percent of the time. It’s not quite mind reading, but it’s certainly a first step.
    —Dr. J.
    Dear Dr. Jeffers,
    My three-year-old son loves it when I dig my fingers into his sides and tickle （胳肢）him until he laughs uncontrollably. The other day I noticed him trying to tickle himself but he couldn’t do it. Why not?
    —Glenn Lewis, Vancouver, Canada
    Dear Mr. Lewis,
    It’s because of how the brain works. The brain is trained to know what to pay attention to and what to ignore. It causes us to ignore physical feelings we expect to happen, but it causes a mild panic reaction when there is an unexpected feeling. For example, you don’t notice how your shoulder feels while you’re walking down the street. But if someone comes up behind you and touches you lightly on the shoulder, you may jump in fear. It’s that unexpected part that causes the tickle reaction.
    —Dr. J.
    1.What can we learn from the answer to the first question?                          
    A. Some equipment is able to read human minds.
    B. Some progress has been made in mind reading.
    C. Test subjects have been used tomake decisions.
    D. Computer programs can copy brain processes.
    2.People laugh when tickled by others bedause the feeling is _______.                 
    A. unexpected        B.expected        C. comfortable        D. uncomfortable
    3.Who has got a little child according to the text?                                  
    A. Ms. Leon          B. Mr. Lewis        C. Mr. Moeller        D. Dr. Jeffers
    4.According to the text, Jeffers is probably _______.                                
    A. a computer programmer                B. a test subject
    C. a human brain expert                   D. a medical doctor

    根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
    In the 60s, people asked about your astrological (about star) sign. In the 90s, they want to know your website.   71   Your website is an electronic meeting place for your family, friends and potentially, millions of people around the world. Best of all, you may not have to spend a cent. The Web is filled with all kinds of free services and all it takes is some time and creativity.
    72  Like the table of contents of a book or magazine, the home page is the front door.Your site can have one or more pages, depending on how you design it.
    While web pages vary greatly in their design and content, most use a traditional magazine layout（版面设计）.At the top of the page is a banner(横幅). Next comes a greeting and a short description of the site. Pictures, text, and links to other websites follow.
    73  Think about whom the site is for and what you want to say. Next, gather up the material that you want to put on the site.
    While there are no rules you have to follow, there are a few things to keep in mind:   74  If you are too much at the beginning, you may never get the site off the ground. You can always add to your site.
    Less is better. Most people don’t like to read a lot of text online.   75 
    Smaller is better. Since it can take a long time to download large image files, keep the file sizes small.
    Have the rights. Don’t put any material on your site unless you are sure you can do it legally. Learn the Net’s Copyright Article for more about this.
    Now it’s time to roll up your sleeves and start building
    A．Start simply.
    B．Break it into small pieces.
    C．Draw a rough layout on a sheet of paper.
    D．Many websites are considered very interesting.
    E．Before you start building your site, do some planning.
    F．Think of your home page as the starting point of your website.
    G．These days, having a web address is almost as important as a street address.

    D
    Is veg food healthier than non-veg food? I feel this is a very common topic that people speak on．Please give me your opinions on this topic．
    Rao
    12-18-08
    		So far as veg food is concerned, it is also proved to be a healthy and nutritious diet, but has very few items which can provide us with proteins, but if you see non-veg food like eggs, chicken, and many more, such foods have a large content of proteins in them.
    Sai
    12-19-08
    		Man basically is herbivorous（食草的）. If we look at the animal kingdom
    We can see that all the herbivorous animals have the similar dental（牙齿的）
    structure, which clearly shows that the human being also ought to be vegetarian
    by birth. It is only the living conditions that make man carnivorous（食肉的）.
    The vegetarian foods are easily digestible.
    Santos
    12-20-08
    		Non-veg food items are better than veg items. A healthy person requires complete diet and veg+ meat makes the diet complete. The only caution that needs to be taken is not to have non-veg items on a daily basis. Once in a week or couple of weeks will be best.
    Krishna
    01-03-09
    		When we eat non-veg, we are all veg by nature. The chicken that we eat feeds on grains, the mutton that we eat feeds on grass, and the fish that we eat feeds on simple plants. So non-veg food by logic（逻辑）is better and suited for hauman beings.
    Khan
    01-05-09
    		Non-veg food is equally important in our diet as it helps in many ways, especially fish and other seafood as fish contains omega 3 which makes our immune system（免疫系统）stronger. Do you know that most of the veg food put together does not contain as much omega 3 as fish alone contains!
    68．According to Rao, what is the problem with veg food?
    A．It damages our immune system.
    B．It has few nutrients.
    C．It contains too much omega 3.
    D．It is lacking in protein.
    69．In the opinion of Sai, humans are born vegetarian because humans______.
    A．have the same teeth structure as plant-eating animals
    B．believe that veg foods are good for their teeth
    C．belong to the plant-eating animal family
    D．can adapt to the living conditions like plant-eating animals
    70．What advice is given by Santos?
    A．To have a saily veg+ meat diet.
    B．Not to eat non-veg food every day.
    C．To eat digestible food every day.
    D．Not to eat food without protein.
