    　　With regard to 　　9　　, I've got to help for about an hour every day．I've got to wash dishes and clothes, clean the floors and toilet and sometimes cook．My parents say I'll have to run my own home some day, so it's 　　10　　 to learn how to do it now．They'd never dream of paying me for doing housework．It's the responsibility of the whole family, isn't it?

    　　My parents give me presents 　　11　　, usually things that I can use．For example, when they saw that I was 　　12　　 about learning tennis, they bought me a good racket．And they only buy me simple clothes that can last a long time．They often say‘No’when I ask for things．But if I can pay for something with money that I've earned myself, that's different．They say it's bad to expect things for 　　13　　．It won't be like that when I grow up．

    　　We have one TV for the 　　14　　 family, and I watch it for about seven hours a week．My father believes that when you're watching TV, you're not thinking, so your 　　15　　 doesn't develop．When I say that he watches more than I do, he says his mind has already developed．

    　　For almost two months Dominic York, a 23-year-old hairdresser, wandered about hospitals at night, wearing a white coat and pretending he was a doctor．Yesterday he proudly claimed in court(法庭)that despite his complete lack of medical experience of qualifications(资格), he had saved several people's lives．He had even been allowed to assist(协助)a surgeon during an emergency operation on a patient who was about to die on something she had swallowed．

    　　“I watched one of those TV dramas about a hospital and suddenly felt like playing one of the roles myself．So I put on a white jacket and a stethoscope(听诊器)and walked around one of the biggest hospitals in London．At first I just watched．Once you learn how doctors talk to patients, nurses and other doctors, it's easy to take people in．”he said．

    　　One of the patients he treated was Laura Kennan．She had been knocked down by a car and fainted．When she came to herself in hospital, York was standing over her．

    　　“He looked very professional．He told me his name was Doctor Simon．Then he gave me some sort of injection(注射),”she said．And then he suddenly cleared off when a nurse asked who he was．She didn't think there was anything wrong．“I would never have realized he was fake if a policewoman hadn't showed me his photograph a week later．When the policewoman told me who he really was, I could hardly believe my eyes．”

    　　Judge Raymond Adams told York that he was“shocked and horrified”that he got away with his deceiving(欺骗)for so long, and then sentenced him to eighteen months in a special prison for criminals with mental disorders．

    　　“I can only hope that this will not lead to further problems．After all, you will have considerable opportunity to study the behaviour of the psychiatrists(精神病治疗师)who will look after you while you are there．If you try to persuade people that you yourself are a psychiatrist after you are set free, I shall make sure that you are given a much longer sentence,”Judge Adams warned York．

    (1)

    getting some training and experience

    (3)

    [　　]

    was proud of what he had done

    There are some very good inventions which, for one reason or another, don’t become popular. These inventions should be better known, even though I think that some of them are crazy. Let’s have a look at some of these inventions and see if you agree that they should be more successful.
    The Australians had a great idea to stop people from drinking and driving. The idea was that if a driver wanted to start the car, she or he would have to blow into a bag first. If there was too much alcohol(酒精) in their breath, the car wouldn’t start. It sounded like a great idea to me, but people said that they might need to drive the car in an emergency even if they had drunk too much alcohol. Another idea I liked was an invention by a scientist who thought his children watched too much TV. He linked the TV to an exercise bike so that the electricity to power the TV was generated(产出) by the bike. If the children wanted to watch a lot of TV, they had to pedal(踩踏板) very hard. I found another invention on the Internet which was intended (倾向于) to encourage good habits. Believe it or not, this invention was an ashtray(烟灰缸) which spoke to you when you lit a cigarette! The “voice” of the ashtray was activated (启动) by the heat from the cigarette and reminded you how dangerous it is to smoke.
    One of the strangest inventions I have come across is a bicycle which can cross rivers! The idea was that when you came to a river, you could inflate a huge plastic ball all around the bike. You would then get into the ball which would float on the river while you pedaled the bike inside the ball! Why not use a bridge instead? A friend of mine at school once bought a strange pair of football shoes. On the bottom of the shoes there was a rotating pad of studs (转动钉垫). The idea was that you would change direction more quickly if the studs rotated with you. The problem was that every time you stopped you changed direction whether you wanted to or not! I think he wore those shoes twice! One thing I would like is a baseball cap with a built-in radio so you can listen to sport all day with your hands free. While we are on the subject of sport, the Americans invented a kind of robot for sports fans. If you were watching your team on TV on your own, you could press a button and the robot would do “high fives” with you! Fantastic! I wonder if you have any good ideas for inventions like these.
    小题1:What’s the writer’s attitude towards the inventions mentioned in Paragraph 2?
    A．The writer regrets he knew nothing about the inventions.
    B．The writer doubts if the inventions will be popular soon.
    C．The writer thinks people will benefit from the inventions.
    D．The writer finds these inventions are the strangest of all.
    小题2:What can we know from the passage?
    A．The father used his invention to stop children watching too much TV.
    B．It was very bad for the drivers to blow into a bag before their driving.
    C．The bike crossing rivers was considered one of the best inventions.
    D．The invention of new shoes would make players run much faster.
    小题3:The underlined word “inflate” in the third paragraph means __________.
    A．check outB．blow up
    C．look intoD．turn over
    小题4:What’s the best title for the passage?
    A．Popular Inventions Today.
    B．Technology and Invention.
    C．The History of Invention.
    D．Inventions with a Difference.

    When I left school five years ago, I said to myself, “That’s that!

    Joan
    I should say I have great interest in studying．I’d rather do this than anything else．Since I left school．I’ve taken courses in all sorts of things．I go to the city library once a week, but I much prefer evening classes because it’s more fun that way．My latest “craze（狂热）”-if you can call it that -is foreign languages．I’m learning two, not one!
