    Who owns the sea? The ships of all countries sail in the open seas. Not long ago, all countries could fish and hunt in the oceans as they pleased. But now, the countries using the sea must work together to protect the animal life in the seas.
    In 1870, there were millions of valuable fur seals in the Berling Sea. Ships came from all over the world to kill them.
    Man wanted the animals’ fur and their oil from their bodies. By 1930, only about 130,000 seals were left there in the seas and the oceans. Even the hunters themselves knew that something had to be done to protect them, otherwise the seals would die out or disappear from the earth forever.
    Four countries owned the land near the seals’ northern home. In 1911, these countries began plans to control seal—hunting. The governments of these four countries, Japan, Russia, Canada and the United States, where the animals rested and gave birth to their young, formulated a policy that only male seals that didn’t have mates were to be divided among the four governments.
    Today, large herds of seals swim in the Berling sea again. By working together, the four countries mentioned above have saved the seals in the seas they share.
    1..The passage is mainly about ________.
    A. the governments of the four countries       B. protecting seals
    C. the seals’ northern home—the rocky island    D. the Berling Sea
    2.Why did people hunt or kill seals in the open seas?
    A. People wanted to eat the meat.     B. The seals were eating too many of the fishes.
    C. Their fur and oil were very valuable   D. The seals were did much harm at that time
    3.The four countries worked together __________.
    A. in order to kill more seals       B. so as to protect the seal
    C. to protect the seals’ rocky island—their northern home
    D. in order to kill any seal that was alive in the open sea
    4.According to the short passage, which of the following is true?
    A. It is important to protect wildlife   
    B. No more seals can be seen in the Berling Sea

    Nowadays, more and more people are using email, but sometimes we use it too much or use it inappropriately. To get the most out of email we need to use it carefully and sensibly. These are some simple tips to help you make a better use of email.
    It is good to have separate email accounts for separate purposes. For example, you may have one for business and one for social activities. This means you can check the personal email in the evening without having to think about business. If you see an important message from your boss, it could ruin your weekend or evening. After all, most people want to relax themselves and get away from work at the end of the day. Don't allow email to make you a slave to work. Some people feel it is inconvenient to check 2 different email accounts. But the relative inconvenience is easily outweighed by the benefits.
    Many people ignore the title of an email. If the subject changes don’t keep using an old “re: irrelevant title.” A good title increases the chance that people will actually read your email rather than just leaving it for later. A bad title may even get deleted as spam.(垃圾邮件)
    Emails can be brief and to the point. If the message has to be long, make sure it is broken up into different sections, which are easy to read. But, generally you should aim to keep it less than 5 sentences. This is good for both the writer and the reader.
    If somebody sends some important documents, files or message, make sure you, at least, acknowledge their receipt(接收). Otherwise they may be uncertain that you’ve got them. It doesn't have to be long; it can be quite short.
    If you find yourself sending similar answers to many people, write a draft message and save it in your drafts folder (or write it in Word). You can use this standard response for emailing many people. Don’t forget to personalize it by adding their names.
    Having a signature looks professional and saves typing the same information. Remember people may wish to contact you through other ways. So make sure you have a phone number and address in your email. If relevant, add any qualifications and websites that you have. This gives people a chance to find out more about you.

    The film “Avatar” has received great popularity around the world. It turned out to be a great success. The film got ＄1 billion in ticket sales in a very short time. The story in the film happens on an alien planet called Pandora where many strange species live. Among the planet’s inhabitants(居民,栖息动物)，the one that has the most similarities with humans is the Na’vi, and it is the struggle between the Ma’vi and human invaders(入侵者) that forms the story of the film.
    As to the factors(因素) leading to the film’s success, many think that the entertaining feast(盛宴) for the eyes and the wonderful story shouldn’t be forgotten, but the new language invented especially for the film which provides audiences with a new experience also plays an important part.
    In order to increase the truthfulness of an alien race（外星人）, the film’s director James Cameron asked an expert in languages from the University of Southern California to invent a language for the Na’vi. Professor Paul Frommer combined the languages spoken among Indians, Africans and mid-Asians and worked with James Caneron for four years to create the Na’vi language based on the original 30 words that the director had already come up with.
    According to Professor Frommer, the most important characteristic of the Na’vi language is that it could be pronounced. “This is an alien language but obviously it has to be spoken by human actors and actresses,” Professor Frommer told the BBC, “it has to sound natural and it should make human beings comfortable when using it.”
    The language has a vocabulary of around 1000 words but Progessor Formmer hopes to enlarge the vocabulary in possible follow-ups to the film and in video games. The professor hopes that one day his creation will be as successful as the Klingon alien language from the “Star Trek”films. “There’s a translation of Hamlet into Klingon and it has received great popularity among the audiences,” says Professor Frommer，“if anything like this happens to the Na’vi language, I’d be very happy.”
    1. What do we know about“Avatar” from this passage?
    A. The story in it is a moving love story.    
    B. It brings the producer ＄1 billion in total.
    C. The story in it happens on an alien planet.
    D. It talks about humans and aliens’ friendship.
    2. The director of “Avatar” James Cameron had a language invented for the Na’vi to     
    A. make the film a whole mystery          B. make the Na’vi more believable
    C. make the Na’vi different from humans    D. make the film have specific characteristics
    3. Who first created the basic words of the Na’vi language?
    A. Paul Frommer.        B. An Indian.    C. James Cameron     D. Hamlet.
    4. The important feature of the Na’vi language is that      
    A. it can be spoken by humans         B. it has just 30 original words
    C. it has a vocabulary of 1000 words.    D. it is like the Klingon alien language
    5. We can infer from the passage that       
    A. James Cameron will produce follow-ups to “Avatar”
    B. the Na’vi language is another kind of the Klingon language
    C. the director believes the Na’vi language will be popular
    D. Paul Frommer hopes to add new words to the Na’vi language

    A man once said how useless it was to put advertisements in the newspaper. "Last week," he said, "my umbrella was stolen from a London church. As it was a present, I spent twice its worth in advertising, but didn't get it back."
    "How did you write your advertisement?" asked one of the listeners, a merchant.
    "Here it is," said the man, taking out of his pocket a slip cut from a newspaper. The other man took it and read, "Lost from the City Church last Sunday evening, a black silk umbrella.. The gentleman who finds it will receive ten shillings on leaving it at No. 10 Broad Street."
    "Now," said the merchant, "I often advertise, and find that it pays me well. But the way in which an advertisement is expressed of extreme importance. Let us try for your umbrella again, and if it fails, I'll buy you a new one."
    The merchant then took a slip of paper out of his pocket and wrote: "If the man who was seen to take an umbrella from the City Church last Sunday evening doesn't wish to get into trouble, he will return the umbrella to No.10 Broad Street. He is well known."
    This appeared in the newspaper, and on the following morning, the man was astonished when he opened the front door. In the doorway lay at least twelve umbrellas of all sizes and colors, and his own was among them. Many of them had notes fastened to them saying that they had been taken by mistake, and begging the loser not to say anything about the matter.

    It happened to me recently that I was telling someone how much I had enjoyed reading Barack Obama’s Dreams From My Father and how it had changed my views of the current US President． The person I was talking to agreed with me that it was, in his words,“a wonderfully written book ．”However, he then proceeded  to talk about Mr Obama in a way that suggested he had no idea of his background at all． I sensed that I was talking to a book liar．
    And it seems that he is not the only one． Clearly two thirds of people have lied about reading a book which they haven’t ． In The World Book Day survey, Dreams From My Father is at number 9． The survey lists top ten books, and various authors, which people have lied about reading． As I’m not one to lie too often, I’ll admit here and now that I haven’t read the entire ten books． But I am pleased to say that I have read the book at number one, George Orwell’s 1984． I think it’s absolutely outstanding．
    Asked why they lied, the most common reason was to impress someone they were speaking to ． This could be difficult if the conversation became more in-depth !
    The World Book Day survey also has some other interesting information in it． It shows that many people lie about having read classical works by Jane Austen, the Bronte sisters, Charles Dickens and so on. But when asked which authors they actually enjoy, they named JK Rowling, Jilly Cooper, and Stephen King (ah, the big sellers, in other words)． Forty-one percent of people asked admitted they turned to the back of the book to read the end before finishing the story．
    So which books have you lied about reading—if any—and which is your favourite?
    1．The main reason why people lie about reading is to         
    A．make fun of the listener     B．impress the listener
    C．please the listener          D．interest the listener

    Have you ever posted letters to your friends or parents? If so, you must have put stamps on the letters before you sent them. But, how did people receive letters before stamps were invented, and who came up with the idea of using stamps?
    In the past, stamps and envelopes were not used. When people wanted to send a letter, they would close the paper with a seal（封印）. The person who got the letter had to pay for it. Because costs at that time were very high, most people refused to accept letters. In fact, the sender would often place secret marks on the outside of the letter. The person who was sent the letter would read the secret message. Then, they would refuse to accept the letter and did not have to pay for it.
    In Britain, Sir Rowland Hill introduced the “Post Office Reforms” in 1837. He decided that letters could go to any place in the country for a penny even if the letter had to go far away. The cost was to be paid by the sender of the letter. Payment was recorded by placing a small piece of coloured paper on the letter, the stamp! On May 6,1840, the first stamp called the “Penny Black” was born. Because the stamp was printed in black, the stamp became known as the “Penny Black”. This is now the world’s most famous stamp. This new system spread fast.
    小题1:The best title for this passage should be______
    A．The First Stamp.B．How Stamp Was First Made
    C．Why the First Stamp Was MadeD．When Was Stamp First Made
    小题2:Before stamps were used,______ would pay for the letter.
    A．the senderB．the receiverC．the governmentD．no one
    小题3:The first stamp was made______.
    A．more than 160 years agoB．more than two centuries ago
    C．less than 100 years agoD．about 100 years ago
    小题4:Which of the following is true about the first stamp of China?
    A．It was made much earlier than the first stamp of the US
    B．The stamp had a snake on it
    C．The stamp couldn’t be found now
    D．The stamp had a picture of a dragon on it

    What do you want to be when you grow up? A teacher? A doctor? How about an ice-cream taster?
    Yes, there really is a job where you can get paid to taste ice cream. Just ask John Harrison, an “Official Taste Tester” for the past 21 years. Testing helps manufacturers(制造商) to be sure of a product’s quality. During his career Harrison has been responsible for approving large quantities of the sweet ice cream— as well as for developing over 75 flavors .
    Some people think that it would be easy to do this job; after all, you just have to like ice cream, right? No— there’s more to the job than that, says Harrison, who has a degree in chemistry. He points out that a dairy or food science degree would be very useful to someone wanting a career in this “cool” field.
    In a typical morning on the job, Harrison tastes and assesses 60 ice-cream samples. He lets the ice cream warm up about 12℉. Harrison explains, “You get more flavor from warmer ice cream, which is why some kids like to stir it, creating ice-cream soup.”
    While the ice cream warms up, Harrison looks over the samples and grades each one on its appearance. “Tasting begins with the eyes,” he explains. He checks to see if the ice cream is attractive and asks himself, “Does the product have the color expected from that flavor?” Next it’s time to taste!
    Continuing to think up new ideas, try out new flavors and test samples from so many kinds of ice cream each day keeps Harrison busy but happy— working at one cool job.
    1. According to John Harrison, to be qualified in the “cool field”, it is helpful to __________.
    A. keep a diary of work
    B. have a degree in related subjects
    C. have new ideas every day
    D. find out new flavors each day
    2. What does Harrison do first when tasting ice cream?
    A. He stirs the ice cream.                                B. He examines the color of the ice cream.
    C. He tastes the flavor of the ice cream.            D. He lets the ice cream warm up.
    3. Which of the following is probably the best title of the passage?
    A. Tasting with Eyes              B. Flavors of Ice Cream
    C. John Harrison’s Life          D. One Cool Job
