    A German taxi-driver, Franz Bussman, recently found his brother who was thought to have been killed twenty years before.
    While on a walking tour with his wife, he stopped to talk to a workman. After they had gone on, Mrs Bussman said that the workman was closely like her husband and even suggested that he might be his brother. Franz laughed at the idea, pointing out that his brother had been killed in action during the war. Though Mrs Bussman knew this story quite well, she thought that there was a chance in a million that she might be right.
    A few days later, she sent a boy to the wokman to ask him if his name was Hans Bussman. Needless to say, the man’s name was Hans Bussman. And he really was Franz’s long-lost brother. When the brothers were reunited, Hans explained how it was that he was still alive.
    After having been wounded towards the end of the war, he had been sent to hospital and was separated from his unit. The hospital had been bombed and Hans had made his way back into Western Germany on foot. Meanwhile, his unit was lost and all records of him had been destroyed.

    The man who invented Coca-Cola was not a native Atlanta, but on the day of his funeral every drugstore in town shut up the shop in honor of him. He was John Styth Pemberton, born in 1833 in Knoxville, Georgia, eighty miles away. Pemberton was a chemist, sometimes known as Doctor, who, during the Civil War, became an officer and led a cavalry troop. He settled in Atlanta in 1869, and soon began making such patent medicines as Triplex Liver Pills and Globe of Flower Cough Syrup.
    In 1885, he registered a trademark for something called French Wine Coca-Ideal Nerve and Tonic Stimulant. A few months later, he formed the Pemberton Chemical Company, and hired an accountant named Frank M. Robinson, who had not only a good head for figures, but, attached to it, so unique a nose that he could judge the ingredients of a batch of syrup merely by sniffing it.
    In 1886 --- a year in which, as contemporary Coca-Cola officials like to point out, the English writer Conan Doyle made Sherlock Holmes known publicly and France found the truth about the Statue of Liberty --- Pemberton invented a syrup that he called Coca-Cola. It was a change of his French Wine Coca. He had taken out the wine and added a bit of caffeine, and, when the end product tasted awful, had thrown in some cola nut oil and a few other oils, mixing the mixture in a three-legged iron pot in his back yard and swishing it around with an oar.
    He distributed it to soda fountains in used beer bottles, and Robinson, with his elegant account’s script, instantly designed a label, on which "Coca-Cola" was written in the style which is still employed. Pemberton looked upon his mixture less as a drink than as a headache cure.
    One morning in 1886, a man suffering from a headache dragged himself into an Atlanta drugstore and asked for a bottle of Coca-Cola. According to usual practice, druggists should pour a teaspoonful of syrup into a glass of water, but at that time, the man on duty was too lazy to walk to the fresh-water tap. Instead, he mixed the syrup with some soda water, which was closer at hand. After drinking it, the suffering customer cheered up almost at once, and word quickly spread that the best Coca-Cola was a fizzy (冒泡泡的)one.
    小题1:According to the passage, which of the following about Pemberton is wrong?
    A．He was highly respected by Atlantans because of his great contribution.
    B．Medicines like Triplex Liver Pills and Globe of Flower Cough Syrup are his patent products.
    C．During the Civil War, he was an officer of a cavalry troop, a chemist and a doctor.
    D．Coca-Cola which is very popular now was invented by him.
    小题2:Why do contemporary Coca-Cola officials especially like to mention the year 1886?
    A．Because Conan Doyle contributed to Pemberton’s Coca-Cola invention.
    B．Because France sent the Statue of Liberty to America and Pemberton loved it.
    C．Because they are still proud of Pemberton’s invention.
    D．Because Pemberton made more money for the company this year than in any other year.
    小题3:What does the passage tell us about Frank M. Robinson?
    A．He helped his boss and began making patent medicines together with his boss in 1869.
    B．He had a special nose with an acute sense of smell and especially was good at drawing.
    C．When he found the end product tasted awful, he threw in some cola nut oil and other oils.
    D．He designed a label “Coca-Cola” for the Coca-Cola Company with his elegant handwriting.
    小题4:How did Pemberton change French Wine Coca formula to make it taste delicious?
    A．He mixed it with several oils instead of water.
    B．He put some beer into the mixture.
    C．He added more coffee into the mixture than before.
    D．He added some cola nut oil and a few other oils.
    小题5:According to the passage, what was Coca-Cola intended for at first?
    A．It was intended for the children as a soft drink.
    B．It was intended for a substitute for French Wine Coca
    C．It was intended for a cure for the common headache
    D．It was intended for the need of the war

    Tilly Smith, the 11-year-old British girl, who was called as “Angle of the Beach”, saved 100 tourists from a Thai beach hit by the tsunami① in 2004 and has been named Child of the Year by readers of a French children’s newspaper.
    She came ahead of a South African Aids orphan, a six-year-old girl who survived a kidnapping②and a young Parisian pop singer to win the Mon Quotidien award. Tilly had studied tsunamis with her geography teacher, Andrew Kearney, shortly before flying to Thailand for a holiday with her parents and younger sister last year. As she watched the waves suddenly begin to move back, and the sea was bubbling③, she warned her mother, Penny, that the beach was about to be struck by a tsunami. Mrs Smith and her husband, Colin, warned other holidaymakers and hotel staff and scores of people were cleared from Maikhao beach at Phuket.
    Tilly, now 11, and back in Thailand for anniversary commemorations④of the disaster, said: “It’s really good, just to know about tsunamis or any natural disaster in case you are in one. I’m very glad that I was able to say on the beach that a tsunami was coming. And I’m glad that they listened to me.”
    Tilly is unaware of her great popularity among French children. Her picture appears on the front page of Mon Quotidien, which is read by 10 to 14-year-olds.
    “Our readers chose Tilly because they could identify with her,” said Francois Dufour. “To be a pop star at 11 seems impossible, and the idea of having Aids or being kidnapped is far from their lives.”
    1. The passage mainly wants to tell readers that ______.
    A. a little girl saved 100 tourists out of a tsunami
    B. British “Angle of the Beach” was named Child of the Year
    C. many people came for anniversary commemorations
    D. the tsunami was able to be avoided
    2. The underlined words “Mon Quotidien” (in Paragraph 4) should be the name of ______.
    A. a magazine      B. a book       C. a novel       D. a newspaper
    3. Which of the following about Tilly Smith is TRUE?
    A. She could make full use of her knowledge from books.
    B. She was ever kidnapped by a pop singer.
    C. She visited Thailand by boat with her parents.
    D. She had expected to attract the French children.
    4. According to the Tilly Smith’s knowledge, when there is a tsunami, ______.
    A. the sea water will not be clear         B. the sea will be bubbling when moving back
    C. the sea water will make great noise     D. the sea will be bubbling when moving forward

    Help or Not
    Dear editor,
    During last year's winter holiday, I went shopping with my grandmother. We saw several beggars. Some of them were disabled, which made me feel sad. Among them were old people, young people and even children! When I wanted to help them, my grandmother stopped me. She told me they were not worth showing mercy to because some beggars cheated people out of their money. Should I help them?
    Yours,
    Mary from Guangzhou
    Dear Mary,
    While I understand your grandmother’s point of view, I think that just because some beggars have cheated people, this doesn’t mean you should never help any beggars.
    Showing mercy to people who are not as fortunate as us is one of the kindest things we can do. While some beggars may use dishonest means to get money, most beggars will not. Even those who use dishonest means are probably hungry for food and feel they have no choice but to cheat people. It is important to be careful for your own safety. But if you want to help, you don’t necessarily have to give it to beggars in the street.
    Another way you can help is by donating money to the China Charity Federation. Visit its website at: www. china charity. cn.net.
    18.From the grandmother’s point of view, we can learn that ________.
    A. she has never helped the beggars.    
    B. she believes not all beggars are honest
    C. she has surely been cheated by some beggars  
    D. she shows no pity for the poor
    19. Mary felt sad for _______.
    A. her grandmother                                                 B. the disabled beggars 
    C. the old people                                              D. herself
    20. The editor suggests that Mary should _______.
    A. have her own mind                                      B. follow her grandmother
    C. do something for those unfortunate                D. help the China Charity Federation
    21. The underlined word “donating” probably means _______.
    A. give out of kindness                                     B. put into a business
    C. earn through an organization                         D. give in return for some kindness

    Last night was the last game for my eight-year-old son’s soccer team. It was the final quarter. The score was two to one, and my son’s team was in the lead. Parents surrounded the playground, offering encouragement.
    With less than ten seconds remaining, the ball suddenly rolled in front of my son’s teammate, Mickey O’Donnell. With “Kick it!” echoing across the playground, Mickey turned around and gave it everything he had. All around me the crowd erupted. O’Donnell had scored!

Everybody won!” For a moment I held my breath, not sure how my son would react. I need not have worried.

    He could have been president of Israel or played violin at Carnegie Hall, but he was too busy thinking. His thinking on God, love and the meaning of life graces our greeting cards and day-timers.
    Fifty years after his death, his shock（乱蓬蓬的一堆）of white hair and hanging moustache still symbolize genius. Einstein remains the foremost scientist of the modern time. Looking back 2,400 years, only Newton ,Galileo and Aristotle were his equals.
    Around the world , universities and academies（研究院）are celebrating the 100th anniversary of Einstein’s “miracle year” when he published five scientific papers in 1905 that basically changed our grasp of space, time ,light and matter. Only he could top himself about a decade later with his theory of relativity.
    Born in the age of horse-drawn carriages, his ideas launched a technological revolution that has made more changes in a century than in the previous two thousand years. Computers, satellites, telecommunications, lasers, televisions and nuclear power all owe their invention to ways in which Einstein exposed a stranger and more complicated reality underneath the world.
    He escaped Hitler’s Germany and devoted the rest of his life to human rights and peace with an authority unmatched by any scientist today, or even most politicians and religious leaders. He spoke out against fascism（法西斯主义）and racial prejudice. His FBI(美国联邦调查局)file ran 1,400 pages.
    His letters expose a disorderly personal life ─ married twice and indifferent toward his children while absorbed in physics. Yet he charmed lovers and admirers with poetry and sailboat outings. Friends and neighbors fiercely protected his privacy.
    小题1:The first paragraph implies that Einstein             .
    A．had the gift for politics and music
    B．had run for president before he worked at his research
    C．was an excellent violinist
    D．was more a political leader of a musician than a thinker
    小题2:When you think of Einstein, what typical appearance was formed in your mind?
    A．Funny and humorous, with an air of a musician.
    B．Wearing very wide trousers and a moustache, with an image of an actor.
    C．Rough untidy mass of white hair and hanging moustache , with an image of thinking .
    D．Black long hair and moustache, with his eyes deep set.
    小题3:Why was 1905 called Einstein’s “miracle year”?
    A．Because he topped himself with the theory of relativity.
    B．Because he made important discoveries of space, time , light and matter.
    C．Because he published five papers on his theory of relativity.
    D．Because he wrote five important articles to help people understand space, time , light and matter better.
    小题4:Which of the following is not true about Einstein according to the passage?
    A．When he was absorbed in his research ,he didn’t care for his family.
    B．He tried to amuse his family and friends in his spare time.
    C．He was so busy with the physical research that he showed no interest in politics.
    D．His theory led to much improvement in many technological fields.

    Imagine being the only person in the Forbidden City. You could stay there all day without swarms of people crowding around. You'd be able to look at the ancient treasures without worrying about other visitors pushing you for a better view. Well, in two years time you'll be able to have such an experience, just like the former emperors used to. The only difference is that your Forbidden City fun will be online.
    Thanks to new technology, a virtual tour of the Forbidden City will be available online by 2008.

"The interaction and games content in the virtual tour will attract more young people to understand and love our cultural heritage," added Hu.
    In the virtual tour, historical figures will actually talk to visitors and answer their questions. The stories behind the buildings and treasures will also be told. "The online environment, presented in both Chinese and English, enables visitors to experience the culture and stories of the museum," said James Yeh, an IBM official.
