    Some people have a kind of magic. They will make you comfortable while they are around. You feel at ease while talking to them. How is it done? Here are several skills that good talkers have. If you follow the skills, they'll help people feel relaxed and make friends with them quickly.
    First of all, good talkers ask questions. Almost anyone, no matter how shy he is, will answer a question. One well-known businesswoman says, "At business lunches, I always ask people what they did that morning. It's a common question, but it will get things going." From there you can move on to other matters—sometimes to really personal questions. And how he answers will let you know how far you can go.
    Second, once good talkers have asked questions, they listen to the answers. This point seems clear, but it isn't. Your questions should have a point and help to tell what kind of person you are talking to. And to find out, you really have to listen carefully and attentively. Real listening at least means some things. First it means not to change the topic of conversation. If someone insists on one topic, it means he's really interested in it. Real listening also means not just listening to words, but to the voice. If the voice sounds bored, then, it's time for you to change the topic.
    Finally, good talkers know well how to deal with the moment of saying good-bye. If you're saying it, you may give him a handshake and say, "I've really enjoyed meeting you." If you want to see that person again, don't keep it a secret. Let people know your thoughts.
    小题1:Asking questions might be a quite good and suitable way ________.
    A．for you to make more and more new friends
    B．to begin your business talks
    C．to get things going
    D．for you to make a deep and lasting impression on others
    小题2:After asking somebody a question, it'll be polite of you to ________.
    A．agree with what others say all the time
    B．listen to his reply attentively
    C．wait impatiently for his answer
    D．go on asking him more questions
    小题3:Generally speaking, good talkers are persons who ________.
    A．are not good at making any topic interesting
    B．never talk too much or too little
    C．always speak in a gentle way
    D．know when they should change the topic of the talk
    小题4:If you really want to meet someone again, ________.
    A．you may take him as your lifelong true friend
    B．it seems necessary for you to let him know it
    C．it's proper for you to give him a second handshake
    D．it'll be helpful for you to have further understanding of him

    小题1:C
    小题2:B
    小题3:D
    小题4:B

My citizens and I are holding a big party under the sea, though you wouldn’t believe it. But please do not feel excited, you should feel sad because we have to live under the sea.

    1990 was a significant year in world enents. In Febbruary, Nelson Mandela was set free after 27 years in prison. In October, East and West Germany became one country again. Then at the end of 1990, the World Wide Web was born. For this final event we have one man to thank, Tim Berners-Lee, the father of the Web.
    Berners-Lee was born on June 8, 1955 in London, England. His parents, both computer designers, encouraged him to think and work creativelhy as he grew up. He was an excellent student and naturally took an interest in computers and science.

In 1990, while still at the science centre in Switzerland, he put them together to make the first Internet browser. It could run on any computer and allowed people to create  share their information with the rest of the world.

    Today Tim works as a professor at the MIT in America, researching new and interesting ways to use the Web. He has received many awards from governments and organizations for his efforts. He is still not very interested in money. That is why he is so admired by his students and workmates. It may also be one of the reasons that few people outside the world of technology know his name.

    Different weather makes people feel different. It has an effect on health, intelligence and feelings.
    In August, it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States. People there have heart trouble and other kinds of health problems during this month. In the Northeast and the Middle West, it is very hot at some times and very cold at other times. People in these states have more heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March.
    The weather can also influence intelligence. For example, in a 1983 report by scientists, IQ(智商) of a group of students was very high when a very strong wind came, but after the strong wind, their IQ was 10% lower. The wind can help people have more intelligence. Very hot weather, on the other hand, can make it lower. Students in many schools of the United States often get worse on exams in the hot months of the year (July and August).
    Weather also has a strong influence on people’s feelings. Winter may be a bad time for thin people. They usually feel cold during these months. They might feel unhappy during cold weather. But fat people may have a hard time in hot summer. At about 18℃, people become stronger.
    Low air pressure may make people forgetful. People leave more bags on buses and in shops on low-pressure days. People feel best at a temperature of about 18℃.
    Are you feeling sad, tired, forgetful, or unhappy today? It may be the weather’s problem.
    小题1: Is it easy for people to have health problems in hot and wet summer?
    小题2: What does the underlined word “it” refer to in Paragraph 3?
    小题3:Why is it possible that winter is a bad time for thin people?
    小题4: How do people become when there is low air pressure?
    小题5: At what temperature do people probably feel most comfortable?
    小题6:What is the main idea of the passage? (in no more than TEN words)

    Do you know why so many animals do not stay in one place? Birds, fish and other animals move from one place to another place at a certain time. They move for different reasons: most of them move to find food more easily, but others move to get away from places that are too crowded.
    When cold weather comes, many birds move to warmer places to find food. Some fishes give birth in warm water and move to cold water to feed. The most famous migration is probably the migration of fish, which is called “salmon”(鲑鱼). This fish is born in fresh water but it travels many miles to salt water. There it spends its life. When it is old, it will return to its birthplace in fresh water. Then it gives birth and dies. In northern Europe, there is a kind of mouse. They leave their mountain homes when they become too crowded. They move down to the low land. Sometimes they move all the way to the seaside, and many of them are killed when they fall into the sea.
    Recently, scientists have studied the migration of a kind of lobster(龙虾). Every year, when the season of the bad weather arrives, the lobsters get into a long line and start to walk across the floor of the ocean. Nobody knows why they do this, and nobody knows where they go. So, sometimes we know why humans and animals move from one place to another place, but at other times we don’t. Maybe living things just like to travel.

    小题1:The reason for most of the animals to move is ________.
    A．to get away from un-crowded placesB．to find their own parents
    C．to want to kill themselvesD．to find food more easily
    小题2:Where does young salmon(鲑鱼) spend its life?
    A．In fresh water.B．In salt water.
    C．In mountain homes.D．In its birthplace.
    小题3: When do the lobsters(龙虾) begin to move another place?
    A．When their homes become too crowded.
    B．When the season of the bad weather arrives.
    C．When they want to give birth.
    D．When their food is eaten up.
    小题4: The underlined word migration in the passage means ________.
    A．迁徙B．习性
    C．运动D．寻觅

    Usually, students are not encouraged to run or jump around in the corridor (走廊). However,students in a British grammar school really enjoy running on the corridor tiles (瓷砖) and their teachers even encourage them to do that.
    Why? It is because the corridor was built with special kinetic (动能的) tiles. When students jump on the tiles, electricity will be generated ( 产生). After one year, the electricity generated from the tiles can fully charge 853 mobile phones or power(供电) an electric car to drive seven miles. It’s amazing, isn’t it?
    The corridor tiles are really a brilliant invention. Students can not only play on the corridor,but also help power the lights in their school corridors and other devices ( 设备) in their classrooms. Besides, this is a good way to teach students to be creative. They will be inspired to be scientists, inventors and engineers in the future to find clean energy for all humans.
    The inventor of the magic corridor tiles is Laurence Kemball-Cook. He was once a student in this school. Now, he is CEO of his own company. The corridor tiles are not Laurence’s only invention.

    (C)The earth is not only, but also thirsty for water. This may seem strange to you. because nearly 70% of the earth’s surface（表面）is covered with water. But about 97% of that is sea water, or salt water. Man can only use the other 3%—the fresh water from rivers, lakes, and other sources. And we can’t even use all of that, because some of it is in the form of icebergs and glaciers（冰川）. Even worse, some of it has been polluted.
    However, as things stand today, the fresh water is still enough for us. But our need for water is becoming larger and larger quickly—almost day by day. We should take steps to do with this problem now and in this way we can get away from a serious world-wide water shortage later on.
    We all have to learn how to stop wasting our valuable water, one of the first step is to develop ways of reusing it. Today in most large cities, water is used only once and then sent out into a sewer system(下水道), from there it returns to sea or runs into underground (地下)places.
    But even if every large city reused its water, we still would not have enough. All we’d have to do to make use of sea water in the world is to remove the salt.
    小题1: The earth is thirsty for water because_______ .
    A．man has not enough food to eat.
    B．we haven’t had enough fresh water
    C．only 70% of the earth’s surface is covered with water.
    D．more water is sent into the sewer system
    小题2:The underlined word “valuable ” means _______.         .
    A．much and saltB．fresh and enough
    C．dear and usefulD．clean and helpful
    小题3: What can we do if we want to have enough fresh water?
    (a) make good use of the sea water.
    (b) carry salt water into lakes and rivers.
    (c) try to save the fresh water as much as possible
    (d) do our best to use the water again.
    (e) drink and use all the water on the earth’s surface
    A．(c)and(e)B．(a) and (b)
    C．(a), (c)and(d)D．(b) , (d) and(e)
    小题4: The best but the most difficult way to solve the water problem of the world is to ___
    A．remove the salt from the sea water
    B．make the water in the cities clean.
    C．take the water from underground
    D．make the need for the water smaller.
    小题5: What is the best title for this passage?
    A．The Importance of WaterB．The World’s Water Problem
    C．The Thirsty WorldD．Fresh Water and Sea Water

    ARE you creative, shy, outgoing? Our personalities reveal a lot about who we are. But what’s surprising is that our personality can also say something about our health. That’s according to researchers at Duke University, US.
    During an experiment on 1,000 people, scientists assessed (评定) their personalities in two ways: by asking someone they knew, such as a family member or friend; then by asking someone they had just met, such as a nurse. The study found that those who were careful at age 26 were in better health after 12 years.?
    Being careful means that people tend to have a lot of self-control, and are less likely to smoke, the scientists said. Careful people are also more likely to have an active lifestyle and healthy diet.
    From those who were least careful, 45 percent developed health problems by the age of 38. Such health issues included gum disease and high blood pressure (高血压). To compare, only 18 percent of careful people went on to develop health problems.
    Another positive personality was called “openness to experience”, meaning curious and imaginative. People who have more of this personality have higher IQ scores. So they’d be more likely to know how to find medical help to prevent disease.
    According to the report, if doctors assessed our personalities, it could help doctors to find which young adults need advice on how to live a healthy lifestyle. What’s surprising is that stress didn’t play a big part on a person’s health. Even though stress and anxiety (焦虑) are usually linked to bad health.
    But can a doctor who knows our personality really improve our health? Or should doctors be kept away from knowing something so personal?
    小题1:Which personality type may be better for our health, according to the research?
    A．self-controlled. B．Stressed.
    C．Shy. D．Careless.
    小题2:From the passage, we learn that careful people ____.
    A．are too shy to talk to strangers
    B．love to ask the doctor for advice
    C．are likely to have a healthy lifestyle
    D．may have high blood pressure when they’re older
    小题3:Where can you probably read the article?
    A．Newspaper. B．Science fiction book.
    C．Research paper.D．Travel guide.
    小题4:What is the main idea of the article?
    A．People can change their personality type.
    B．Scientists have found two different personality types.
    C．Personalities have something to do with our lifestyle.
    D．Personalities say something about our health.
