    Hello, Chicago. If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy(民主)，tonight is your answer.
    ……
    I was never the likeliest candidate for this office. We didn’t start with much money or many endorsements. Our campaign was not hatched in the halls of Washington. It began in the backyards of Des Moines and the living rooms of Concord and the front porches of Charleston. It was built by working men and women who dug into what little savings they had to give数学公式10 and $ 20 to the cause.
    It grew strength from the young people who rejected the myth of their generation’s apathy(冷漠), who left their homes and their families for jobs that offered little pay and less sleep.
    It drew strength from the not-so-young people who braved the bitter cold and scorching heat to knock on doors of perfect strangers, and from the millions of Americans who volunteered and organized and proved that more than two centuries later a government of the people, by the people, and for the people has not perished(消失)from the Earth.
    This is your victory.
    And I know you didn’t do this just to win an election. And I know you didn’t do it for me.
    You did it because you understand the enormity of the task that lies ahead. For even as we celebrate tonight, we know the challenges that tomorrow will bring are the greatest of our lifetime—two wars, a planet in peril(危亡), the worst financial crisis in a century.
    Even as we stand here tonight, we know there are brave Americans waking up in the deserts of Iraq and the mountains of Afghanistan to risk their lives for us.
    ……
    The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep. We may not get there in one year or even in one term. But, America, I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there.
    I promise you, we as a people will get there

    A good brand agency (代理) can create for you a brand identity (身份) of your products. Having the best agency to help with your business, no matter how small, can be one of the biggest steps you can take in letting the world know and get familiar with your products and brands.
    Brand agencies work hand in hand with the company in advertising the brand and its products. The company has to tell the agency how they would like the public to see their products. The agency then talks with the company about the progress of the brand in the market.
    Working with brand agencies is a two-way street. When the company is happy and satisfied with how the agency has advertised the brand, the trust the company has in the agency grows. Similarly, when the agency does well in its work, the company’s brand and products get good ideas from buyers and the market.
    Regarding the identity of the brand, agencies can help a lot in this aspect. For a brand to have a lasting influence on the buyers, an identity of the brand needs to be formed. If the brand is good, then buyers will feel at ease (轻松自在) buying the products of this brand.

      3. C.
        helping create brand identities for the products

    It is normal for parents to question their children's hairstyle or the clothes they wear. But today teenagers and their parents argue over something else: money.
    Children are spending lots of it. Parents used to say to their children, "You're wearing that?" Now they say, "You paid how much for that?"
    Children in the US today spend five times more money than their parents did when they were young.
    So what are all these children buying? The list is long: ipods trainers(训练鞋), cellphones and jeans are typical items that children "have to" buy. And they will do anything to get them. They ask their parents over and over until they buy them.
    But parents also need to take the blame for spending so much money. They want their children to have the best stuff. They end up competing with other parents over what their children have.
    So no wonder children find it hard to learn the importance of saving money rather than spending it all the time.
    And it's hard to save when companies use advertising and clever slogans to encourage young people to buy their products. They even encourage children to keep asking their parents for something until they get it.
    Today, you don't even need to have money in order to buy something. Banks give out credit cards and loans all the time so people are saving less and less. We are used to there being lots of money around. And if you don't have much you can always borrow some.
    But this hasn't always been the case. When our grandparents were young there was very little money and everyone had to save hard for things they bought. They only bought things they needed, not things they just wanted.
    The older generation made the wise expression, "Money doesn’t grow on trees." This is as true now as it was 50 years ago. They give money a great deal of value. And we all have a lot to learn from them.

    1. 1.

      The text mainly tells us ________.

      1. A.
        divisions between teenagers and their parents
      2. B.
        children's high consumption (消费) of products
      3. C.
        what is popular among children at the moment
      4. D.
        how to spend money wisely
    2. 2.

      Parents are to blame for children's spending a lot of money because ________.

      1. A.
        they encourage children to care about the latest fashion
      2. B.
        their consumption habits set a bad example for children
      3. C.
        they always give children too much pocket money
      4. D.
        they do nothing to help children establish healthy consumption habits
    3. 3.

      Nowadays people find it hard to save money because of all of the following reasons EXCEPT that ________.

      1. A.
        banks provide credit cards and loans
      2. B.
        advertisements draw people’s attention to new products
      3. C.
        people have more money than in the past and saving is out of date
      4. D.
        people's living standard has improved and they can buy what they want
    4. 4.

      The saying "Money doesn't grow on trees." in the last paragraph is intended to tell us that ________.

      1. A.
        the older generation understood how to teach children to save
      2. B.
        in the past, people attached more importance to saving money
      3. C.
        money has a great deal of value
      4. D.
        money is not easily earned and people should be careful spending it

    Surveys of American teenagers find that about half of them do not get enough sleep on school nights. They get an average of 60 to 90 minutes less than experts say they need.
    Experts say teens are biologically programmed to go to sleep later and wake up later than other age groups. Yet many schools start classes as early as seven in the morning.
    As a result，many students go to class feeling like Danny，16 years old. He plays two sports，lacrosse and football. He is an active teen—except in the morning. DANNY：“Getting up in the morning is pretty terrible. I’m just very out of it and tired. And through first and second period I can hardly stay awake.”
    Michael Breus，a clinical psychologist with a specialty in sleep disorders says：“These aren’t a bunch of lazy kids—although，you know，teenagers can of course be lazy. These are children whose biological rhythms，more times than not，are off.”Teens，he says，need to sleep eight to nine hours or even nine to ten hours a night. He says sleepy teens can experience a form of depression that could have big effects on their general well-being. It can affect not just their ability in the classroom but also on the sports field and on the road because any tired driver is dangerous，especially a teenager with a lack of experience.
    So what can schools do about sleepy students？The psychologist says one thing they can do is start classes later in the morning.
    Eric Peterson，head of St.George’s School in the northeastern state of Rhode Island，says，“In the end，schools ought to do what’s the right thing for their students，first and foremost.”And he wanted to see if a 30-minute delay would make a difference. It did.

    1. 1.

      According to the passage，which of the following is the chief cause of sleepy teenagers？

      1. A.
        Persona haibits.
      2. B.
        Early school hours.
      3. C.
        Sports activities.
      4. D.
        Too much home work.
    2. 2.

      According to Michael Breus，         .

      1. A.
        Teenagers are too lazy to get up early for school.
      2. B.
        Teenagers should change their biological rhythms.
      3. C.
        Lacking sleep can cause serious problems.
      4. D.
        Sleepy teenagers shouldn’t drive to school.
    3. 3.

      What is Eric Peterson’s opinion on the issue？

      1. A.
        Schools should try their best to help students.
      2. B.
        Students should adjust to their school’s schedule.
      3. C.
        Changing school schedule is their last choice.
      4. D.
        Something has to change at the end of a school day.
    4. 4.

      What does the underlined word“It”in the last sentence might refer to？

      1. A.
        St.George School.
      2. B.
        Rhode Island State.
      3. C.
        Students in St.George School.
      4. D.
        30-minute delay of school day.

        Some complaints from teachers and parents.

    Two completely different styles of e-mail have formed on either side of the Atlantic-Euromail and Amerimail. Americail is informal and chatty. It’s likely to begin with a “Hi” and end with a “Bye”. The chances of Amerimail containing a smiley face or an “xoxo” are disturbingly high. We Americans are unwilling to dive into the meat of an e-mail. We feel we have to first inform recipients (收信人) about our vacation on the island which was really excellent except the jellyfish were biting and the kids caught a cold, so we had to skip the whale watching trip, but about that investors’ meeting in New York. Amerimail is a bundle of contradictions, casual and yet direct, respectful yet over proud. In other words, Amerimail is America.
    Euromail is stiff and cold often beginning with a formal “Dear Mr. X” and ending with a simple “Sincerely”. You won’t find any mention of kids or the weather or jellyfish in Euromail. It’s all business. It’s also slow. Your correspondent might take days even weeks to answer a message. Euromail is exactly like the Europeans themselves.
    Recently about 100 managers were asked on both sides of the Atlantic whether they noticed differences in e-mail styles. Most said yes. Here are a few of their observations:
    “Americans tend to write (e-mail) exactly as they speak.”
    “Why don’t you just call me instead of writing five e-mails back and forth?”
    “Europeans are less interested in checking e-mail”.
    “In general, Americans are much more responsive to e-mail—they respond faster and provide more information.”
    So which is better, Euromail or Amerimail? I realized it’s not popular these days to suggest we have anything to learn from Europeans, but I’m fed up with an inbox filled with casual, barely meaningful e-mails from friends and colleagues. If the alternative is a few earnestly written, carefully worded bits of Euromail, then I say, “Bring it on.”

      What did George Bernard Shaw mean by saying “England and America are two nations divided by a common language”?

      1. A.
        There is not much difference between British English and American English.
      2. B.
        Both England and America speak the common language, so they are much the same.
      3. C.
        Either England or America is a divided nation, though they share a common language.
      4. D.
        There is sharp difference between England and America despite their common language.
    2. 2.

      Which of the following is most likely to be the “meat” of an Amerimail?

      1. A.
        The jellyfish were biting.
      2. B.
        We had an excellent vacation on the island.
      3. C.
        We had to skip the whale watching trip.
      4. D.
        We were to attend the investors’ meeting in New York.
    3. 3.

      On receiving an e-mail, Europeans tend to __________.

        respond to it immediately and earnestly
      2. B.
        take more time than Americans to respond to it
      3. C.
        respond by calling up their correspondent
      4. D.
        never respond to it all
    4. 4.

      What are characteristics of Amerimail?

      1. A.
        Informal and chatty
      2. B.
        Casual and indirect
      3. C.
        Stiff and cold
      4. D.
        Formal and direc60
    5. 5.

      We can conclude from the passage that __________.

      1. A.
        the different e-mail styles do much harm to the relationship between the two sides on Atlantic
      2. B.
        Amerimail is more appreciated by the writer for being informative and casually written
      3. C.
        Euromail always impresses the writer as something more pleasant to read
      4. D.
        the writer doesn’t favor either e-mail style as both have their own shortcomings

    We have two daughters: Kristen is seven years old and Kelly is four. Last Sunday evening, we invited some people home for dinner. I dressed them nicely for the party, and told them that their job was to join Mommy in answering the door when the bell rang. Mommy would introduce them to the guests, and then they would take the guests’ coats upstairs and put them on the bed in the second bedroom.
    The guests arrived. I introduced my two daughters to each of them. The adults were nice and kind and said how lucky we were to have such good kids.
    Each of the guests made a particular fuss over Kelly, the younger one, admiring her dress, her hair and her smile. They said she was a remarkable girl to be carrying coats upstairs at her age.
    I thought to myself that we adults usually make a big “to do” over the younger one because she’s the one who seems more easily hurt. We do it with the best of intentions.
    But we seldom think of how it might affect the other child. I was a little worried that Kristen would feel she was being outshined. I was about to serve dinner when I realized that she had been missing for twenty minutes. I ran upstairs and found her in the bedroom, crying.
    I said, “What are you doing, my dear?”
    She turned to me with a sad expression and said, “Mommy, why don’t people like me the way they like my sister? Is it because I’m not pretty? Is that why they don’t say nice things about me as much?”
    I tried to explain to her, kissing and hugging her to make her feel better.
    Now, whenever I visit a friend’s home, I make it a point to speak to the elder child first.

    In the days when an ice cream sundae cost much less, a 10-year-old boy entered a hotel coffee shop and sat at a table. A waitress put a glass of water in front of him. “How much is an ice cream sundae?” “Fifty cents,” replied the waitress. The little boy pulled his hand out of his pocket and studied a number of coins in it. “How much is a dish of plain ice cream?” he required. Some people were now waiting for a table and the waitress was a bit impatient. “Thirty-five cents,” she said rudely. The little boy again counted the coins. “I’ll have the plain ice cream,” he said. The waitress brought the ice cream, put the bill on the table and walked away. The boy finished the ice cream, paid the bill and departed. When the waitress  came back, she began wiping down the table and then swallowed hard at what she saw.

    To switch or not to switch, that is the question.Google’s announcement of its Nexus One smartphone（智能手机） happened over a week ago and I’m still receiving lots of e-mails from readers asking the same question: Should they give up their iPhone for the Nexus One?
    Some people with iPhones, disappointed by American Telephone&Telegraph’s inadequate service and the high monthly cost, are wondering if they have really got something to replace it.Does the Nexus One offer the functions that Apple has led them to expect?
    I’m on the fence myself, even though I never thought I’d be interested in anything but the iPhone.From my experience using the Nexus One, and from talking to people who have made the change, it’s not necessarily about the differences between the iPhone and the Nexus One.The phones are extremely similar in design and general feel.Instead, the decision can be made based on the software（软件） services you use on your desktop.
    My friend Chad Dickerson received a pre-launch Nexus One from Google three weeks ago.He said Google’s phone feels connected to certain services on the Web in a way the iPhone doesn’t.“Compared to the iPhone, the Google phone feels like it’s part of the Internet to me,” he said.“If you live in a Google world, you have that world in your pocket in a way that’s cleaner and more connected than the iPhone.”
    Personally, the phones work perfectly with their own software, but both of them don’t make an effort to play well with other services.

    1. 1.

      Why are some iPhone users expecting a new type of phone?

      1. A.
        Because their old ones are out of date.
      2. B.
        Because they accept Google’s announcement.
      3. C.
        Because of the limited service and high cost.
      4. D.
        Because of the terrible software they can use..
    2. 2.

      What’s the author’s attitude towards the new phones in the third paragraph?

      1. A.
        Negative
      2. B.
        Neutral
      3. C.

    Stopping teens from smoking is a big challenge many communities face today. Many communities can only watch without being able to act while local businesses continue to sell tobacco products to children, even under the risk of punishment by law.
    Recent studies show that a large percentage of teens today are getting their cigarettes from stores, mostly gas stations or convenience stores. As teens continue to be able to buy their own cigarettes, more and more communities begin to punish those who sell cigarettes to the teens.
    One community has experienced success in their attempts to stop the sale of tobacco products to children. Woodridge, Illinois, started a program seven years ago which forbade and strictly punished the sale of tobacco products to children. The entire program includes local licensing of vendors (小贩), repeated undercover inspections to see if the sale to children has stopped, and education programs in schools. Woodridge has become a model community as other communities are moving to stop teen tobacco use.
    A recent national study showed that 36.5% of females, and 40.8% of males buy their cigarettes from stores, whether it is a gas station or a supermarket. Hopefully, as more and more sellers see the trouble they face if caught selling to children, they will stop selling.
    True, tightening down on stores that sell tobacco to children isn’t going to completely stop the problem of teen tobacco use. Teens continue to get them from other sources. But it definitely does prevent their efforts. With more education in schools, and perhaps stronger punishments for teens caught with tobacco, more and more teens will see the problems with the tobacco usage, and will stop the habit.
