Be smart about advertisements!
People cannot get away from advertisements which promise cheap goods and free gifts. Last week, I read an advertisement for a sale. Seeing the attractive prices for the goods, I couldn’t help driving to the supermarket. As the advertisement said, most of the things there were much cheaper than usual. In no time, I filled two baskets with ten bars of soap, two very nice-looking kitchen knives and so on. When my husband got home and saw all the things I bought, he asked me to think about what I needed all these things for. There was already enough soap at home, and there were already two knives in the kitchen drawer. I think I should be smart about advertisements in future and not be tricked by them.

A Swedish man was dug out alive after being snowed in his car on a forest track for two months with no food, police and local media reported on Saturday.
The 45-year-old from southern Sweden was found on Friday, February17, too weak to say more than a few words.
He was found not far from the city of Umea in the north of Sweden by snowmobilers who thought they had come across a ruined car until they dug their way to a window and saw movement inside.
The man, who was lying in the back seat in a sleeping bag, said he had been in the car since December 19.
“Just incredible that he’s alive considering that he had no food, but also since it’s been really cold for some time after Christmas.” a rescue team member told regional daily Vasterbottens- Kuriren, which broke the news.
Ebbe Nyberg, duty officer at the Umea police, said police saw no reason to doubt that the man had been stuck in the car for a very long time.
“We would not make up something like this. The rescue services were on site too and saw the same as us.” he told Vasterbottens-Kuriren.
Umea University Hospital, where the man is recovering after being rescued by police and a rescue team, said in a statement he was doing well considering the circumstances.
Doctors at the hospital said humans would normally be able to survive for about four weeks without food. Besides eating snow, the man probably survived by going into a dormant-like(休眠似的）state, physician Stefan Branth told Vasterbottens-Kuriren.
“A bit like a bear that hibernates. Humans can do that.” he said. “He probably had a body temperature of around 31 degrees which the body adjusted to. Due to the low temperature, not much energy was used up.”
“Why the man ended up under the snow in the forest remains unknown,” police said.
1.Who found the Swedish man in the snow?
A．Snowmobilers. B．The police.
C．A rescue team. D．Local people.
2.“Police saw no reason to doubt that the man had been stuck in the car for a very long time.” implies that .
A．police didn’t think it true
B．police were sure of the fact
C．police had some doubt on the fact
D．police had reasons to doubt the fact
3.Which is the correct order of the following events?
a．The Swedish man was stuck in the snow.
b．He was sent to Umea University Hospital.
c．He was found by snowmobilers.
d．He was recovering after treatment.
e．He stayed in his car for nearly two months.
f．He was dug out by people.
A．e, a, c, d, f, b B．a, e, c, f, b, d
C．a, f, c, e, b, d D．e, c, f, a, d, b
4.Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A．A Traffic Accident
B．A Long Sleep in Winter
C．An Incredible Survival
D．A Successful Rescue

One night in March 1999, a man was driving from California to Oregon, US, to visit some friends. He had stopped his car to have some food when he started to hear strange noises. Turning on the headlights, he saw an 8-foot-tall creature covered in thick, dark hair. The creature stared at him for a minute, turned in the road and walked off slowly into the woods.
In the past 50 years alone, there have been thousands of reported sightings of similar creatures in the US, Canada, the Himalayas(喜马拉雅山地区)and even Hubei Province in China. The creature is known as bigfoot.
Bigfoot is said to be a very tall(between 2 and 4. 5 metres), ape-like(类人猿似的)creature that is covered in hair and walks upright on two legs. It is very wary(警惕的)of human beings.
Believers think bigfoot is a direct descendent(后代)of ancient gigantopithecus(巨猿). But it remains one of the planet’s undiscovered secrets. There is a little evidence(证据)to support the believers’ theory: traces of hair, footprints and body prints as well as the reported sightings. Some people have even showed what they say with photos or films of bigfoot.
But so far, no one has found bones or any other definite proof that the giant creature exists.
As a result many people believe the evidence is just part of a big trick.
The footprints are easy to make and they say: all you need to do is to make two large feet out of plaster(石膏), attach them to the bottom of your shoes and walk with big steps. As for the photos and films, they are just people dressed in ape suits.
They also say the sightings are not real, just people making mistakes. For example, bigfoot could be a bear living in the wild that sometimes stands up on its back legs.
1.So far what we can be sure about is that_______.
A. there exist savages(野人)in several places in the world
B. there are some traces of hair, footprints and body prints of the “bigfoot”
C. bigfoot is a direct descendent of ancient gigantopithecus
D. all the big foot discovered have the same look
2.It was in______ that man first found the ape-like creature.
A. 1999
B. the 1960’s
C. the 1950’s
D. the 1940’s
3.We can infer from the article that some people _______bigfoot’s existence.
A. may fool the world into believing
B. have definite evidences to prove
C. refuse to believe
D. will soon offer proofs of
4.If bigfoot is just a misunderstanding, what they saw might NOT be________.
A. apes
B. bears
C. gigantopithecus
D. people dressed in animal skins

As more and more people speak the global languages of English,Chinese,Spanish,and Arabic,other languages are rapidly disappearing.In fact,half of the 6,000—7,000 languages spoken around the world today will likely die out by the next century,according to the United Nations Educational,Scientific,and Cultural Organization(UNESCO).
In an effort to prevent language loss,scholars from a number of organizations—UNESCO and National Geographic among them—have for many years been documenting dying languages and the cultures they reflect.
Mark Turin,a scientist at the Macmillan Center,Yale University,who specializes in the languages and oral traditions of the Himalayas,is following in that tradition.His recently published book,A Grammar of Thangmi with an Ethnolinguistic Introduction to the Speakers and Their Culture,grows out of his experience living,working,and raising a family in a village in Nepal.
Documenting the Thangmi language and culture is just a starting point for Turin,who seeks to include other languages and oral traditions across the Himalayan reaches of India,Nepal,Bhutan,and China.But he is not content to simply record these voices before they disappear without record.
At the University of Cambridge Turin discovered a wealth of important materials—including photographs,films,tape recordings,and field notes—which had remained unstudied and were badly in need of care and protection.
Now,through the two organizations that he has founded—the Digital Himalaya Project and the World Oral Literature Project—Turin has started a campaign to make such documents,found in libraries and stores around the world,available not just to scholars but to the younger generations of communities from whom the materials were originally collected.Thanks to digital technology and the widely available Internet,Turin notes,the endangered languages can be saved and reconnected with speech communities.
1.Many scholars are making efforts to .
A.promote global languages
B.rescue disappearing languages
C.search for language communities
D.set up language research organizations
2.What does “that tradition” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A.Having full records of the languages.
B.Writing books on language teaching.
C.Telling stories about language users.
D.Living with the native speakers.
3.What is Turin’s book based on?
A.The cultural studies in India.
B.The documents available at Yale.
C.His language research in Bhutan.
D.His personal experience in Nepal.
4.Which of the following best describes Turin’s work?
A.Write,sell and donate.
B.Record,repair and reward.
C.Collect,protect and reconnect.
D.Design,experiment and report.
