    At a meeting, a well-known speaker lifted up a bill of 20 dollars before starting his speech.
    Facing 200 people, he asked, “Who wants this 20-dollar bill?” A great many hands were put up. Then he continued to say, “I intended to give it to any one of you, but allow me to do a thing before giving it to you.” Suddenly he crumpled （揉）it into a round mass. Then he asked, “Who wants it? ” Still some hands were lifted up.
    He asked again, “Well, how could it be if I do it like this?” he threw the bill onto the ground, stepped on it and twisted it. As he picked it up, the bill had become not only dirty but wrinkled.
    “Who still wants it?” Still a few people put up their hands.
    “My dear friends, you have had a meaningful class. No matter how I treated this bill, you still want it, because it is worth 20 dollars. On your life road, you may be knocked down（击垮） or even broken into pieces by your determination(决心) or unfavorable（不利的） situations. We may feel ourselves worth nothing, but, my darling, remember that whatever happens in the future, you should never lose your value（价值） in the God’s heart. You’re particular ---- never forget it.”

    What if you could fly like a bird just by thinking happy thoughts? Or you could disappear to a faraway land, never grow old and fight pirates every day? For Peter Pan and his friends, the Lost Boys, these dreams come true.
    More than 100 years after this playful boy was “born”, Peter Pan and his friends are to continue their adventure in a sequel(续集)to J.M. Barrie’s original novel. “Peter Pan in Scarlet”(重返梦幻岛),written by British author Geraldine McCaughrean, was published earlier this month.
    The sequel brings all the original characters back. Peter Pan’s friends, the Lost Boys, are now grown up and live in the real world. What’s more, at the end of the first book, Peter Pan thinks he has killed his enemy, Captain Hook. But ,new readers discover he is not so dead at all.
    For those who are unfamiliar with the original story, Peter Pan lives in faraway Neverland with a group of orphans. But they are eager for a real mother and Peter Pan flies to London with a fairy(仙女), Tinkerbell, to find one. They visit a young girl, Wendy, who loves to read stories, and bring her and her two brothers back to Neverland to live with them. In Neverland, children never have to grow up, and there are no parents to tell them what to do.
    Many teenagers dream of a world where they don’t have to grow old and take responsibility. But, the author explains such a world is not the paradise(乐园)when it first appears: adventures can be scary and often dangerous, and, though we all sometimes dream of running away, we all need someone to love and look after us too

    Grandfather was from Italy and was the only one in his family who settled down in the United States. The rest of his family remained in Europe. When World War I broke out, he seemed to have become another man, downhearted. Such obvious change was not born out of his welfare, but out of fear: if his only son, my uncle, had to go to war, it would be cousin fighting against cousin. 
    One day in 1918, my Uncle Milton received his draft notice. My grandparents were very upset. But my mother, at the age of 10, felt on top of the world about her soldier brother going off to war. Realizing how he was regarded by his little sister and all of her friends, my uncle brought them all service pins, which meant that they had a loved one in the service. All the little girls were delighted. 
    Then the moment came when my uncle and the other soldiers, without any training but all in uniforms, boarded the train. The band played and the crowd cheered. Although no one noticed, I’m sure my grandmother had a tear in her eyes for the only son. The train slowly pulled out, but not about a thousand yards when it suddenly paused. Everyone stared in wonder as the train slowly returned to the station. There was a dead silence before the doors opened and the men started to step out. Someone shouted,“The war is over”. For a moment, nobody moved, but then the people heard someone bark orders at the soldiers. The men lined up in two lines, walked down the steps, and with the band playing, marched down the street, as returning heroes, to be welcomed home. My mother said it was a great day, but she was just a little disappointed that it didn’t last a tiny bit longer. 

    1. 1.

      My grandfather most worried about         . 

      1. A.
        the spread of the world war

        the safety of his living two cousins

        a drop in his living standards         
      4. D.
        his relatives killing each other

      4. D.
        a note of warning

    We already have iris(虹膜) and fingerprint scanning but noses could be an even better method of identification, says a study from the University of Bath, UK.
    The researchers scanned noses in 3D and characterized  them. They found 6 main nose types: Roman, Greek, Nubian, hawk, snub and turn-up. Since they are hard to hide, the study says, noses would work well for identification.
    The researchers say noses have been overlooked in the growing field of biometrics, studies into ways of identifying distinguishing characters of people. "Noses are out standing facial features and yet their use as a biometric has been largely unexplored," said the University of Bath's Dr Adrian Evans. "Ears have been looked at in detail, eyes have been looked at in terms of iris recognition but the nose has been ignored."
    The researchers used a system called PhotoFace, developed by researchers at the University of the West of England in Bristol, for the 3D scans.
    Several measurements by which noses can be recognised were identified and the team developed recognition software based on these parameters(范围)
    " This initial work is nowhere as good as iris identification but the nose has pros and cons," said Dr Evans.
    There's no magic biometric that solves all your problems. Irises are a powerful biometric but can be difficult to get accurately and can be easily covered by eyelids or glasses. People can easily cover up their ears, with their hair for example.
    "Of course you can have a broken nose or wear a false nose or have plastic surgery but to have nose surgery to change your identity is fairly obvious. Irises are very good for recognition but you can put in dilation drops which change the iris completely. Not all techniques are reliable," he said.
    The research is based on a study of 40 noses and the data base has now been expanded to 160 for further tests to see if the software can pick out people from a larger group and distinguish between relatives.
    Dr Evans hopes the method can be proven to be effective on this larger sample. "The technique certainly shows potential, perhaps to be used in combination with other identification methods," he said.

    1. 1.

      Where can you probably read this article?

      1. A.
            In a newspaper about education.
      2. B.
             In a newspaper about science
      3. C.
             In a newspaper about software
      4. D.
            In a newspaper about dress-up
    2. 2.

        Which is true according to the passage?

      1. A.
            Dr Adrian Evans works at the University of the West of England in Bristol,
      2. B.
             The researchers used a system called Photoshop for the 3D scans.
      3. C.
             The research is based on a study of 160 noses.
      4. D.
            The research team developed their own recognition software.
    3. 3.

      The word overlooked in the third paragraph possibly means:

      1. A.
        well-studied         
      2. B.
        carefully-scanned
      3. C.
        wholly-recognized    
      4. D.
        carelessly-studied
    4. 4.

      We can infer from the last three paragraphs that_________.

      1. A.
            The consequence of the method remains to be seen
      2. B.
             Dr Evans is sure that the method can be used to pick out uncles and nephews.
      3. C.
             More new soft wares will be developed to do the research.
      4. D.
            This method can still be used if your nose is broken,

    Spider-Man cannot escape the harsh realities of the current economic times and will lose his job in a latest issue of the Amazing Spider-Man hitting stories ( first published in 1963) this week.
    Peter Parker, official photographer of the mayor by day and New York City crime fighter by night, is going to face new challenges, including unemployment.
    "He's going to struggle with unemployment and trying to save the city while he can barely afford to keep a roof over his head," said Steve Wacker, Marvel Comics senior editor.
    Parker has always been a grounded character with real-world problems, Wacker said. His aunt is frequently sick, he has girlfriend troubles, and he sometimes struggles to find work. In addition, Spider-Man story lines are often set against a backdrop of current events.
    In the near future, Parker will have to juggle paying bills and buying "web-fluid" and other materials to fix his superhero costume in addition to keeping his dual identities under wraps.
    Parker's work history includes photographer, assistant high school coach, science teacher and scientific researcher, according to his biography on the Marvel Web site. His education includes a college degree in biophysics and some postgraduate work in biochemistry.
    It was at a science exhibit he attended as a teenager that he was bitten by a radioactive spider and got the creature's strength, agility and weaving ability, says Marvel Comics.
    And although Parker has skills few others can claim, he probably won't list these on his resume: superhuman strength, ability to cling to most surfaces, fast traveling ability aided by web-slinging and spider-sense danger avoidance system.

      3. C.
        live in a large  house.
      4. D.
        buy a new superhero costume.
    2. 2.

      Parker didn’t work as________.

      1. A.
        a photographer. 
      2. B.
        an assistant coach  
      3. C.
        a science teacher. 
      4. D.
        a spider-man
    3. 3.

      1. A.
        he has a roof over his head
      2. B.
        he has a room to live in
      3. C.
        there is a roof in his head
      4. D.
        he has a picture of a roof in his head.
    4. 4.

      This passage mainly tell us _______.

      1. A.
        Parker is a   spider-man.
      2. B.
        how Parker became a spider-man.
      3. C.
        life is hard for everyone in current economic times.
      4. D.
        the amazing spider-man comic is popular until now.

    Most children, even the youngest of children, are delighted to be around cats and dogs. But these pets carry plenty of germs and allergens（过敏原）, prompting researchers to ask: Are cats and dogs really safe for children？
    A study finds that, contrary to many parents’ fears, owning cats or dogs does not increase a child’s risk of developing allergies, and in fact, may actually protect them. The study’s lead author, Dr. Dennic Ownby of the Medical College of Georgia, says that even he was “very surprised” by the results. Ownby and colleagues followed more than 470 children from birth to age 6 or 7, comparing those exposed to cats and dogs during their first year of life to those who were not.
    By using skin-prick(刺) tests for detecting common allergies, the researchers found that, contrary to what many doctors had been taught for years, children who had lived with a pet were not at greater risk.
    Even more remarkable, children who had two or more dogs or cats had an even greater reduction, up to 77 percent, in risk of allergies. Researchers suggest this protective effect may be the result of early exposure to lots of bacteria that are carried by dogs and cats. Exposing young children to these bacteria helps" exercise" their immune systems early in life so that they're better able to resist allergic diseases later.
    There's something very important in that first year of life when the immune system is developing that we can retrain it away from an allergic response, said Dr. William Davis.
    And while researchers are not encouraging parents to buy dogs or cats just to reduce a child’s allergy risk, they say if a family already has one or more animals, there's no need to get rid of them

    1. 1.

      Why do the researchers feel “very surprised” by the results of the study?

      1. A.
        Because the results are contrary to their expectation．
      2. B.
        Because so many children are playing with cats and dogs．
      3. C.
        Because parents are so much worried about their children．
      4. D.
        Because children with animals may develop allergies easily．
    2. 2.

      Compared with children who have pets，those who haven’t  ______

      1. A.
        will lose the chance to develop immune system
      2. B.
        may suffer allergic diseases more often
      3. C.
        will reduce the harm from bacteria
      4. D.
        can keep doctors away
    3. 3.

      It can be inferred from the passage that ______．

      1. A.
        pets are ill-treated by their owners
      2. B.
        less families would like to own cats and dogs
      3. C.
        keeping pets is a good way to keep children healthy
      4. D.
        the results of the study can make families with pets feel at ease

        immune system
      4. D.
        something important
    5. 5.

      1. A.
        How to protect your kids from allergies
      2. B.
        Your pets may be helping your kids
      3. C.
