    Four Insurance Policies You Can' t Do Without
    A single gap in insurance coverage could wipe out the money that yon' ve earned for many years through your hard work.That' s why it' s important to give yourself a yearly insurance checkup, whether you buy your policies through an agent or from one of the growing number of insurance companies.
    Health.Before selecting a policy from your employer or deciding among Medicare options, review your current health,predictable medical needs, and family status.This review should help you avoid a plan that fails to cover a necessary treatment or paying for services that you know you'll never use.
    Disability. Your chances of becoming disabled before you retire are far greater than your chances of dying. So every working person needs some kind of disability coverage. If you are working for an employer who offers less than that, you can buy an individual policy to promote your coverage.
    Homeowners or renters. Make sure you have replacement-cost coverage that would pay the current costs of rebuilding your home and replacing your personal possessions. A policy that would only pay for the decrease in value of these items isn' t good enough, because you could end up recovering just a small part of their costs. Don' t forget flood and/or earthquake insurance if you live in a locate that has a possible tendency to these types of disasters.
    Life. Empty nesters and retirees may. no longer need life insurance at all. But if you have dependents who would suffer financially if you died, it' s still a must.

    Long bus rides are like television shows. They have a beginning, a middle, and an end with commercials thrown in every three or four minutes. The commercials are unavoidable. They happen whether you want them or not. Every couple of minutes a billboard glides by outside the bus window. "Buy Super Clean Toothpaste.” Drink Good Wet Root Beer.” Fill up with Pacific Gas.” Only if you sleep, which is equal to turning the television set off, are you spared the unending cry of "You Need It! Buy It Now!"
    The beginning of the ride is comfortable and somewhat exciting, even if you’ve traveled that way before. Usually some things have changed new houses, new buildings, sometimes even a new road. The bus driver has a style of driving and it’s fun to try to figure it out the first hour or so. If the driver is particularly reckless （鲁莽的） or daring, the ride can be as thrilling （惊心动魄的） as a suspense story. Will the driver pass the truck in time? Will the driver move into the right or the left hand lane? After a while, of course, the excitement dies down. Sleeping for a while helps pass the middle hours of the ride. Food always makes bus rides more interesting. But you’ve got to be careful of what kind of food you eat. Too much salty food can make you very thirsty between stops.
    The end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning. You know it will soon be over and there’s a kind of expectation and excitement in that. The seat of course, has become harder as the hours have passed. By now you’ve sat with your legs crossed, with your hands in your lap, with your hands on the armrests even with your hands crossed behind your head. The end comes just at no more ways to sit

    1. 1.

      According to the passage, what do the passengers usually see when they are on a long bus trip?

      1. A.
        Advertisements on the billboards
      2. B.
        Films on television
      3. C.
        Buses on the road
      4. D.
        Gas stations
    2. 2.

      What is the purpose of this passage?

      1. A.
        To explain how bus trips and television shows differ
      2. B.
        To persuade you to take a long bus trip
      3. C.
        To give the writer’s opinion about long bus trips
      4. D.
        To describe the billboards along the road
    3. 3.

      The writer of this passage would probably favor

      1. A.
        bus drivers who aren’t reckless
      2. B.
        driving alone
      3. C.
        no billboards along the road
      4. D.
        a television set on the bus
    4. 4.

      The writer feels long bus rides are like TV shows because

      1. A.
        they both have a beginning, a middle, and an end, with commercials in between
      2. B.
        the commercials both on TV shows and on billboards along the road are fun
      3. C.
        the drivers are always reckless on TV shows just as they are on buses
      4. D.
        both traveling and watching TV are not exciting
    5. 5.

      The writer thinks that the end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning because both are

      1. A.
        comfortable
      2. B.
        exciting
      3. C.
        tiring

    Once when I was six years old I saw an amazing picture in a book called True Stories from Nature about the primeval（原始的）forest. It was a picture of a boa constrictor(大蟒蛇) in the act of swallowing an animal. In the book it said：“Boa constrictors swallow their prey whole without chewing（嚼）it. After that they are not able to move and they sleep through the six months that they need for digestion（消化）.”
    I thought deeply then over the adventures of the jungle. And after some work with a colored pencil I succeeded in making my first drawing. My Drawing Number One. I showed my work to the grown-ups and asked them whether the drawing frightened them. But they answered：“Frighten? Why should anyone be frightened by a hat？”
    My drawing was not a picture of a hat. It was a picture of a boa constrictor digesting an elephant. But since the grown-ups were not able to understand it, I made another drawing. I drew the inside of the boa constrictor so that the grown-ups could see it clearly. They always need to have things explained. That's my Drawing Number Two.
    The grown-ups' response this time was to advise me to lay aside my drawings of ba constrictors whether from the inside or the outside and devote myself instead to geography, history, arithmetic and grammar. That is why at the age of six I gave up what might have been a great painter. I had been disheartened by the failure of my Drawing Number One and my Drawing Number Two. Grown-ups never understand anything by themselves and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them.
    So then I chose another profession（职业） and learned to pilot airplanes. I have flown a little over all parts of the world; and it is true that geography has been very useful to me. At a glance I can distinguish China from Arizona. If one gets lost in the night, such knowledge is valuable.
    In the course of this life I have had lots of chances to meet with a great many people. And that hasn't much improved my opinion of them. Whenever I met one of them who seemed to me at all clear-sighted, I tried showing him my Drawing Number One which I have always kept. I would try to find out if this was a person of true understanding. But whoever it was, he or she would always say: That is a hat. Then I would never talk to that person about boa constrictors or primeval forests or stars. I would bring myself down to his level. I would talk to him about bridge and golf and politics and neckties. And the grown-up would be greatly pleased to have met such an intelligent man.

    1. 1.

      The writer drew his first picture in order to ________.

      1. A.
        show the grown-ups what the book was about

      3. C.
        remind himself of the adventures of the jungle
      4. D.
        illustrate（说明）a boa constrictor's act of digesting an animal
    2. 2.

      How did the writer understand the grown-ups' response to his second drawing?

      1. A.
        He was actually only good at academic study.
      2. B.
        It was a waste of time for him to keep on drawing.
      3. C.
        He had difficulty in communicating with the adults.
      4. D.
        He was good at anything but geography.
    3. 3.

    Our spiritual intelligence quotient（精神智商）,or SQ, helps us understand ourselves, and live fuller, happier lives.
    Though we're all born with SQ, most of us don't even realize that we have it. Fortunately, you don't have to sign up for classes to learn how to improve your SQ. Here are some simple steps that can lead you to this new level of understanding.
    Sit Quietly. The process of developing spiritual intelligence begins with solitude（独处）and silence. To tune in to your spirit, you have to turn down the volume（强度）in your busy, noisy, complicated life and force yourself to do nothing at all. Start small by creating islands for silence in your day. In the car, instead of listening to the music, use the time to think. At work, shut the door to your office between meetings, take a few breaths and let them out very, very slowly. Enjoy the stillness in your home after the kids are finally in bed.
    Step Outside. For many people, nature sets their spirit free. Go outside to watch a beautiful sunset. If you are walking with the dog, take the time to admire flowers in bloom; follow the flight of a bird and watch clouds float overhead.
    Ask Questions of Yourself. Ask open-ended questions, such as "What am I Feeling? What are my choices? Where am I heading?"
    But don't expect an answer to arrive through some supernatural forms of e-mail. “Rarely do I get an immediate answer to my question,” says Reverend Joan Carter, a Presbyterian minister in Sausalito, California. “But later that day I suddenly find myself thinking about a problem in a perspective（角度） I never considered before.”
    Trust Your Spirit. While most of us rely on gut（本能的）feeling to realize danger, spiritual intelligence pushes us, not away from, but towards some action that will lead to a greater good.

    1. 1.

      The passage is mainly about______.

      1. A.
        what your SQ is and in what way it can benefit our life
      2. B.
        what your SQ is and in what way it can be improved
      3. C.
        the relationship between your SQ and your life
      4. D.
        advantages and disadvantages of SQ
    2. 2.

      The underlined phrase "to tune in to your spirit" in the third paragraph probably
      means to_________

      1. A.
        get your spirit relaxed
      2. B.
        keep up your spirit
      3. C.
        keep seated quietly
      4. D.
        change your spirit
    3. 3.

      From the passage, we can know that the most important thing to improve your SQ is______

      1. A.
        a peaceful mind
      2. B.
        deep thought
      3. C.
        spare time and hobbies
      4. D.
        good spirits
    4. 4.

      According to the passage, which of the following is True?

      1. A.
        Not everyone has SQ.
      2. B.
        You have to go to classes to learn how to improve your SQ.
      3. C.
        SQ leads us to take wrong actions.
      4. D.
        SQ can benefit our life.

    Electricity, like clean water, is a resource that’s often taken for granted. But last summer, when blackouts struck much of the northeastern US, Ontario and Rome, consumers on two continents were given a painful reminder of just how easily broken electricity supplies can be. The massive disorder stranded (使陷入困境)commuters, stopped freezers, shut down businesses and refocused attention on where most of the planet’s power comes from：oil-and-gas-fired generators and nuclear plants, These sources not only pollute the environment but also make many consumers feel unacceptable health risks.
    Companies are trying to offer an alternative, clean energy from renewable resources that’s plentiful and portable. Lifton’s Medis Technologies, as well as companies like Hydrogenics and Nanosys, is tapping into fuel cells and dolor panels to give people power whenever and wherever they want it, free from dependence on local grids(电网).
    The search for alternative energy is nothing new, but the current trend of innovators is focusing on the goal of making clean and sustainable power a mainstream commodity. For example, the fuel cell, which produces electricity from the chemical reaction between oxygen and hydrogen, has been around for about 150 years, though its commercial development did not begin until the 1960s and then only as part of NASA spacecraft. Today this technology is coming down to Earth in places like Tokyo; in nine European cities, from Stockholm to Porto, each operating three hydrogen-fuel-cell buses; and in Iceland, which is trying to create the first fuel free hydrogen economy by 2030.
    When hydrogen and oxygen molecules(分子)combine, the reaction produces heat and water. Fuel cells use this reaction to generate electricity. With the cell phone and gadget(小机件)market in mind, Medis has developed a fuel cell with cheap components that produces little heat and effortlessly reduces waste water without turning to energy consuming pumps.

    1. 1.

      What is the passage mainly about?

      1. A.
        The future of alternative energy

        People’s search for alternative energy
      4. D.
        The damage done by the blackout last summer.
    2. 2.

      What can we know about the fuel cell?

      1. A.
        Its commercial use began in the 1960s.
      2. B.
        Today it’s being used in almost every corner of the world.
      3. C.
        It has been in widespread used for about 150 years.
      4. D.
        It supplies electricity to make the combination of oxygen and hydrogen possible.
    3. 3.

      Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?

      1. A.

        The fuel cell has been around for about 150 years.
      3. C.
        The fuel cell’s commercial development did not begin until the 1960s.
      4. D.
        When hydrogen and oxygen molecules combine, the reaction produces o2 and H2O.
    4. 4.

      The underlined word “blackouts” in the 1 st paragraph means_____.

      1. A.
        power failure
      2. B.
        the delivering of electricity

    Long queues at cinemas buying hot tickets for blockbusters(巨片) will become rare as Beijing residents will be able to order film tickets via cell phone networks in a month.
    Film ticket circulation service on cell phone, also called the “Green channel of film tickets ordering”, is aiming at lowing the cost of ticket circulation and easing the ticket distribution pressure on such popular film-watching days as summer and winter vacations or Valentine’s Day.
    “People log onto the net through cell phones, then choose cinema seats, watch trailers, browse information for new films and read cinema introductions,” said Guan Zheng, the publicity chief of Xingmei Digital Media Company Ltd., the service provider.
    “Film fans can enjoy various discount prices if they order tickets via cell phones,” Guan said.
    Meanwhile, the cell phone ticket circulation platform provides subscribers general mobile phone services like jokes, videos, flashes, phone ring downloads and games.

    Currently, many people buy film tickets on the Internet or by phoning the cinema’s ticket office or simply queuing at the cinema gate. More people want to buy tickets on popular days like May Day holiday, National Day holiday or Valentine’s Day. Yet the inefficient ticket circulation system contributes the most to the failure
