September 21, 2050----At a press conference today it was announced that the first tourist heading for Mars will be the 38-year-old US businessman Patrick Clifford. He will leave the earth in the launching window of June 2052 and set his foot on the surface of Mars in November, together with the other 6 astronauts assigned for the mission to further explore the planet.
Patrick has now two years of training ahead of him to get ready for the trip. Not only will he spend five months in getting to Mars, but another 600 days there before he can go back home. Patrick was of course very excited, “ This has been my dream since I was four, and seeing the first man on Mars 20 years ago made me realize that it was possible.”
To be able to pay the $ 1. 3 billion for his ticket for the trip Patrick sold his majority stake (股份) in the company his father had built. “I know that my father would have been proud of me if he had still been alive today, he knew what this means to me”, says Patrick. There is no risk though that you will find Patrick begging in your street corner when he comes back, but it is said that he was paid twice as much for his part of the company.
So, how is he going to spend his 600 days on the red planet? “Well, since I don’t have a job when I get back after selling the company, I have plenty of time to come up with a new business idea”, he says and laughs. If he brings a shovel（铁锹）he can start building the first hotel there, but maybe he shouldn’t expect too many guests until someone can offer a cheaper ticket.
1.How long will Patrick Clifford be away before he comes back?
A．About five months B．About two years C．About 600 days D．About 750 days
2.The underlined part in Paragraph 3 means that .
A．the trip will turn Patrick into a beggar
B．Patrick will get much money from the trip
C．we needn’t worry about Patrick’s economic condition
D．it’s likely that Patrick will be very poor after he comes back
3.What can be inferred from the passage?
A．Patrick is an optimistic man
B．A total of six people will go to Mars
C．Patrick’s father felt excited at the news
D．Patrick will spend all his money on the trip

On the first day of your Senior High you must meet many new classmates. Do you want to make friends with them? Do you know how to make friends with them? The following article will tell you how to do it.
Making friends is a skill. Like most skills, it improves practice. If you want to meet people and make friends you must be to take action. You must first go to places where there are people. You won’t make friends at home alone. Join a club or group, for talking with those who the same experience as you is easier, and them in some activities.
Many people are when talking to strangers. After all, meeting strangers means facing , and it’s human nature to a bit uncomfortable about the unknown.
Most of our fears about dealing with strange people from doubts about ourselves. We other people are judging us, thinking us too tall or too short, too this or too that. , don’t forget that they must be feeling the same way. Try to accept yourself you are, and try to put the other person at ease. You’ll feel more comfortable.
Try to act self-confidently you don’t feel that way you enter a room full of strangers, such as a new classroom, walk straight, look at other people and smile. If you see someone you’d like to , say something. Don’t wait for the other people to a conversation.
Just meeting someone doesn’t mean that you will make friends with that person. Friendship is on mutual（相互的）liking and “give and take”. It takes time and effort to develop. And there are things that keep a new friendship from growing.

We live in a dangerous world. The figures for crime go up year by year. If you were attacked in the street, would you be able to defend yourself? Not very well probably, especially if someone was pointing a gun at you. We all see a lot of violence of films, but recently some programs on television showed how people can defend themselves without guns. For example, in one film a woman was attacked from behind. She threw the man, who was heavier and stronger than she was, over her head. Then she held him tightly on the ground. How? She knew Judo.
Jiu-jitsu, as judo is sometimes called, means "muscle science" in Japanese. The student of judo needs to learn a lot about the body, its bones and muscles. Judo uses a number of "falls", "holds" and "throws". Someone who does not know judo cannot defend himself against them. If you know judo you can defend yourself against a person who is stronger than you. You had better not practice judo on your friends unless they can fall without hurting themselves! Being strong is one thing, but using the body wisely is another. In judo, you use the other person's body to help you. You "throw" him to the ground and "hold" him there, so that he cannot move. Of course, it takes time and practice, but knowing judo is useful. In a violent world you ought to be able to defend yourself.
【小题1】According to passage, in fact "judo" is ______.
| A．the same as "Jiu-jitsu" | B．a kind of fighting |
| C． a kind of muscle science | D．is helpful to a strong man |
| A． The number of violence and crime is increasing every year. |
| B．Because many people carry guns. |
| C．Because there too many films. |
| D．Because people are not able to defend themselves. |

阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A，B，C和D）中选出最佳选项。
I would like to suggest that for sixty to ninety minutes each evening all television broadcasting in the United States be forbidden by law, especially after the evening news.
Let us take a serious reasonable look at what the results might be if such a suggestion were accepted: family members might use the time for a real family hour. They might sit together around after dinner and actually talk to one another. It is well known that most of our problems—everything, in fact, from the generation gap to the high divorce rate to some forms of mental illnesses—are caused at least in part by failure to communicate. We do not tell each other what is disturbing us. The result is emotional(情感的) difficulty of one kind or another. By using the quiet family hour to discuss our problems, we might get to know each other better.
On the evening when such talk is unnecessary, families could rediscover more active pastimes (娱乐). Freed from TV, forced to find their own activities, they might take a ride together to watch the sunset or they might take a walk together. With free time and no TV, children and adults might settle down to read. There is more to expect in a good book than in a TV program. Educators report that the generation growing up with television can hardly write an English sentence, even at college level. Writing is often learned from reading. A more literate new generation could be a product of the quiet hour.
A different form of reading might also be done as it was in the past: reading aloud. The quiet hour could become the story hour. When the quiet hour ends, the TV networks might even be forced to come up with better shows in order to get us back from our newly discovered activities.
At first glance, this idea seems radical (激进的). What will parents do without the electronic baby-sitter? How will we spend the time? But it's not radical at all. It has been only twenty-five years since television came to control American free time. Those of us thirty-five and older can remember childhoods without television, spent partly with radio, but also with reading, learning, talking, playing games and inventing new activities. It wasn't that difficult. The truth is we had a ball.
1．According to the writer, ________ causes many problems, such as generation gap and high divorce rate.
[ ]
A．not being able to read good books
B．failure to communicate with each other
C．not knowing each other better
D．television broadcasting
2．If the television broadcasting were forbidden after the evening news, the Americans might ________.
[ ]
A．have emotional difficulty of one kind or another
B．go to enjoy themselves on the seashore
C．discover a lot more pastimes
D．discuss the generation gap and high divorce rate
3．If there was no television, the people ________.
[ ]
A．could also enjoy themselves
B．played ball
C．lived a hard life
D．had to listen to the radio
4．A more literate generation refers to the people who ________.
[ ]
A．are well informed about English and American literature
B．can hardly write an English sentence
C．can write an English sentence at college level
D．are well educated
