   I went shopping with my wife. We have a lot of things to buy. We drove to the center of the city and stopped our car in the front of the shop. An hour late, we came back to the car. But it was strange that we couldn’t open the door. So we asked policeman for help. It was glad to help us. A few minute later, he got the door open. Just then a man came up and shouted angrily. ‘How are you doing with my car?’ We were surprising and went to see the number of the car. What you think we did then? We had to speak sorry to the man again and again.

Topping the class academically was certainly an advantage. Studying was a breeze for Nigel. The reward was certainly incomparable to the little effort that he had to put in. It began when he was selected to help the teachers in the computer laboratories.

The peak of his school career came not when he topped the school but when he was selected for the nationwide competition. Unlike everyone else, Nigel wanted to join the contest because he liked playing with the Lego sets and making something out of them. Nigel spent the next two months rebuilding his robot. It was during this time that Nigel found out about the prizes for the competition as well as another competitor, Alicia, from a neighboring school. His early intentions were forgotten. Getting the thousand-dollar prize was more important than anything else. Nigel decided to befriend Alicia. Unaware of his intentions, she told him all about the robot that she had been building for the competition. He even helped her to put the finishing touches to her robot. He was glad with the way things had progressed. His robot looked even better than Alicia’s and it was able to bounce a ball with its arm, something Alicia had failed to do.

On the day of the competition, he saw Alicia. Everything dawned on her the minute she saw him among the competitors. She stared at him, puzzled at first, then angry and finally a look of helplessness came over her.

The flashbulbs of the camera exploded in Nigel’s face. The robot had performed actions so unique and different that the specialists’ judgments were the same. Nigel was so pleased with himself that he did not even notice the girl standing a few feet away from him. Without her, he would never have won the competition.

  Once upon a time, people wrote letters mostly with pen and paper. But the Internet has changed all that. Among computer users today, between 50 and 90 percent of written letters take place through e-mail. That’s much different from the days when everyone relied on “snail mail”（慢如蜗牛的信件）. More and more new e-mail users are asking, “How can I write better e-mail message?” Here are six tips for you.

(1)    Who are you writing to?

Who are you writing to? A friend, a classmate, a teacher or a boss? Be sure the tone（语气） of your e-mail message is right for the receiver. Using slang（俚语） or abbreviations（缩写词） may be all right for your friends. But business letters should use full names and complete sentences.

(2)    Be direct. Readers of e-mail have little patience. Say what you want to say directly.

(3)    Use short sentences.

E-mail is quicker and more convenient than snail mail. It’s also much easier to throw away. Don’t use long sentences. Make your sentences short and clear.

(4) Give enough details（细节）.

A terrible e-mail message reads like this: “Did you get my e-mail?” Someone reading this will wonder, “Which e-mail? Sent when? About what?” Today’s e-mail users sometimes get many messages every day, so be sure your messages have enough details to be understood.

(5) Use the subject line（主题行） well

Readers see what’s in the subject line of your message before anything else. Don’t say “Hi, from Wang Peng”------ they can see who sent the message from the address. A short, direct explanation of the content（内容） of your message will get you a faster answer.

(6) Don’t be too slow to answer.

Remember that in the world of e-mail, things happen fast. If you take longer than a week to answer someone’s message, it may be too late.

69. Which of the following subject lines is the best?

  A. Hello from Ann     B. Hello. I sent you an e-mail

  C. About math exam    D. You’ll be pleased to get my e-mail

70. If you get an e-mail, you should answer it _________.

  A. any time you like       B. within a week

  C. in two weeks          D. in the same day

71. The best title for the passage is ___________.

  A. How To Use The Computers   B. How To Write A Better E-mail

C. How To Use The Internet    D. E-mails Are Different From Letters

The students in America usually begin high school at the age of 13 or 14. Some leave at the age of 16. But most finish the 4-year high school study. They do not get their first full-time work or begin college studies until they are 17 or 18 years old.

  The high school day is about 7 hours long. Part of the day is made into classes of about 50 minutes long. The students have lunch in the middle of the day. American students study English, history, math, science, art and languages. Some also learn job skills. They can learn how to use a computer or how to mend a car. Other students may learn by working in an office, a hospital or other places one day a week.

   Jean Wilton Anderson is 16 years old. She lives with her parents and two younger brothers in Bethesda, Maryland, near Washington D.C. Jean studies at Walt Whitman High School. There are about 1,500 students at the school. Most of them will go up to colleges.

   Jean wakes up early every morning. She begins school at about 7:30. This is her third year of high school. Every day she takes classes to learn English, world history, physics and trigonometry（三角学）. She also has a class about different religions（宗教）.And she plays the violin in music class. School ends at about 2 o’clock in the afternoon. Yet, Jean stays 2 or more hours longer every day for sports. Jean arrives home at about 5 o’clock in the afternoon. She eats dinner. Then she starts her homework. Students in America have their way of talking. They use the word “like” all the time. Jean and her girlfriends wear blue jeans and shirts or sweaters every day. The boys at her school also wear blue jeans. But they like to wear blue jeans that are several sizes too large for them.

   Like students of her age in most parts of the country, Jean begins to drive a car. She does not have her car. She must use the family’s car. Most of the students in high school have their own cars. Many of them drive their cars to school every day.

66. Which of the following is not true to the high school?

  Bryant, Lily, Steve，Jack和Stephen身体状况欠佳，想得到有关健康方面的建议。第51至55题是他们的个人情况介绍。阅读下面六个关于健康方面的建议(A、B、C、D、E、F)，选出符合各人需要的最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。选项中有一项是多余选项。

61．Bryant always has a stomachache．When it happens，he always gets up several times in the evening．So in the morning，he often oversleeps．In order not to be late for work．he has to hurry without breakfast．

62．Lily, a country woman who likes to eat some salty vegetables，is very nervous because she always feels dizzy and tired．Her face is always red without reasons．

63．These days，Steve，a teacher in a high school，always dreams a lot at night, so he feels exhausted all day．He even doesn’t have the desire for delicious food after a night’s sleep，which once was his favorite．

64．Jack，a construction worker, sweats a lot every day．Because the work is hard．he even has no time to have a short break or have a drink．Now he feels tired and everything around him is in disorder.

65．Stephen enjoys having oily food，especially meat．In addition，he favors beer a lot，but he doesn’t do exercise regularly．He is eager to lose weight and have a slim shape．

A．Actually breakfast is rather important because it gives you enough energy that you need in the morning every day．Without breakfast，you may feel hungry soon in the morning，which will affect your performance．Sometimes，if you don’t have enough time for breakfast, just have a cup of milk，which will be good for your health．

B．Having delicious meals late at night will make your digestive(消化的)system overwork． And you may suffer from insomnia(失眠)．If so，you will not have a good rest．So it is best to eat our supper early in the evening normally．

C．Salt can cause a lot of problems to people’s health such as high blood pressure, stomachache，etc．As we know，high blood pressure will cause apoplexy(中风)，heart disease and so on．So it is a right choice not to eat the food too salty.

D．Water plays an important role in people’s health and it takes up 2／3 of human body． Every day, people will lose water by sweating and breathing．So you’d better take 6 bottles of water to keep yourself healthy．

E．Having too many snacks will make people fat, because most of the snacks contain too much sugar, salt and fat．which the scientists believe do harm to people’s health．So if you want to keep healthy, you’d better take some fresh vegetables and fruit．

F．Fat is very important but only a small amount is needed in people’s body．If people take more fat, they will get fat，which will cause a lot of problems such as heart diseases．So to keep healthy，you’d better control the consumption(消费)of the fat meat．

In today’s society, a college degree tells little about what you know in comparison to what it tells about what you can learn. For instance, the IT world is constantly changing. Anything you learn today will probably be useless in a few short years. The point is to learn to learn.
  Blogging works exactly the same way. And I believe this to be true regardless of your end goal. If you’re trying to make money, this is abundantly clear. There’s always more money to be made. If you’re teaching on a subject, you are constantly looking for new information to share. Even if you’re just sharing your words with others for pleasure, you’re continuously improving your writing and storytelling, so people don’t get bored of you.
  This is one of the reasons that bloggers burn out. They forget this. They think they have an unlimited amount of content just waiting to burst from their brain. They get comfortable. Then they start to run out of juice. Sure, at times it seems that some bloggers just have it. They are experts in their fields and will simply feed us with invaluable content forever. But this is not true. Pay attention. Even famous bloggers would run out of content eventually without constant learning.
  The point is apparent. Don’t think you’ve succeeded. There are plateaus, but there are no peaks. What happens when someone thinks they’ve hit the peak? They quickly begin sliding down the other side. Always be learning from your experiences. See what posts work for your readers. Which get the best response? Which are completely ignored? Which bring in the most Google traffic, or get the most Absence clicks? Don’t settle or your blog will close for good eventually.
