Identity(身份) theft
The modern world is very convenient. It’s     85     to buy or rent things. We can do a lot of our shopping and banking on the Internet. However, we also face a growing problem: identity theft.
We often give our personal information to stores. That     86     our birth date, personal ID number, and home address. When we apply for a store membership, we give our information to a stranger. When buying something online, we do the same thing.
87    work hard to get that information. They- steal receipts(收据) and     88     computers. They also try to steal our passwords. They can use that information to become" another person. That’s identity theft.
One common crime is to apply for a credit card using     89     else’s name. The thief buys expensive things but doesn’t pay the bill. That can hurt a victims credit. With bad credit, it’s harder to get bank or car loans.
90     can you prevent identity theft? First, be careful about giving away personal information.    91    give someone your birth date and personal ID number when necessary. Second, tear up old credit card receipts and bank statements if you don’t want them. Finally, some experts recommend paying in cash as much as possible.

All living things on the earth need other living things to live. Nothing lives alone. Most animals must live in a group, and even a plant grows close together with others of the same kind. Sometimes one living thing kills another, one eats and the other is eaten. Each kind of life eats another kind of life in order to live, and together they form a food chain(食物链).Some food chains are simple, while others are not. But all food chains begin with the sun, and all food chains become broken up if one of the links disappears.
All life needs sunlight to live on. But only plants can use sunlight directly. Plants are“factories”.They make food from sunlight, water and things in the soil and air.
Plants feed all other living things. Animals can only use the sun’s energy after it has been changed into food by plants. Some animals feed directly on plants, others eat smaller animals. Meat-eating animals are only eating plants indirectly.
What about human beings? We are members of many food chains. We eat wheat, rice, vegetables, fruits and so on. We also eat meat and drink milk. But men often break up the food chains. They kill wild animals. They also make rivers, lakes and seas dirty. When these rivers, lakes and seas are polluted, the fish in them cannot be eaten. If men eat the fish, they will get strange diseases.
Each form of life is linked to all others. Breaking the links puts all life in danger. 
小题1:How does every living thing on the earth live?
A. Each plant can live alone.
B. Each animal can live alone.
C. Every living thing on the earth cannot live without others.
小题2:Which living things can use the sun’s energy directly?
A. Animals      B. Plants         C. All living things
小题3:Who often break up the food chains?
A. Human beings
B. Animals
C. Plant and animals
小题4: Which of the following do you think is the best title of this passage?
A. Animals         B. Plants       C. Food Chains    
小题5:Where can you probably find this passage?
A. In a news report.
B. In your textbook.
C. In a business magazine.

How could I afford to buy such an expensive window? I really didn’t want to put up my hand,   55  at last I said. “I did it. I am sorry.” It was not   56  for me to say those words.
Mrs. Green went to the book shelf and took down a book. Then she walked to me. Looking at  57 , I was a little afraid. To my surprise, she said, "I know you like  58   .Here is the book about them. It’s yours now. I give it to you not because you broke the window, but because you are  59  ." I couldn’t believe it. I wasn’t punished(惩罚). However, I was given my favorite book about birds.

A new term has begun. Teachers are   36   about the fact that new students are not easy to handle. They like to bring cellphones and MP3 players to school. What is   37  ，some students even use cellphones to do with out-of-class matters in class，or sometimes just for fun. Some other students listen to MP3 players when they are having a lesson that they are not interested in.
Are these new students really that   38  ? ’Yes，’ says Delaney Kirk，a professor at Drake University.  39  she adds it’s not their fault. Instead， the things that they bring into school---cellphones，MP3 players and so on --- and the teachers are to blame. Kirk first began thinking about students’ manners six years ago. ‘I had my first class in which students were sleeping or talking to each other. It seemed that learning well   40  nothing to do with them，’ she says. ’At first，I got worried about this，but then I said to myself， "You’re teaching  41 ，and you need to  manage this…These students need to know more about manners. It’s time to help them develop some good    42  . They shouldn’t waste time doing nothing when they are young. Sooner or later，they might regret the time they have wasted."’
Kirk also    43   a list of suggestions to help teachers better manage their classes. The following are among her suggestions：
●  Tell students how they will benefit by taking the class. On the first day of class，emphasize its importance    44   giving some homework that students must turn in next time.
●  Do not allow them to bring cellphones and MP3 players to the class at all.
■  Decide  45  formal and informal the class will be.

For several years, Americans have enjoyed teleshopping—watching TV and buying things by phone.Now teleshopping is starting in Europe (欧洲).In a number of European countries, people can turn on their TVs and shop for clothes, jewelry, food, toys, and many other things.

A famous teacher was speaking to the students at our school. He began his lesson by holding up a ￥100 bill. Then he said to the three hundred students， “Who would like this ￥100 bill？” The students began to put up their hands at once.
Then he said， “I am going to give this ￥100 to one of you， but first， let me do this.” He then made the bill into a ball. Then he said， “Who wants it now？” The hands went back into the air.
“Well，” he said， “What if I do this？” and he dropped it on the floor and stepped on it. He picked up the dirty， crumpled bill and said， “Who still wants it？” Hands went back into the air.
