Seventy-five million pieces of mail can be put in these offices in one year.
There the workers of the dead mail offices have        ways to deal with all of these pieces of dead mail. First of all, they look for       that can help them deliver the mail; they open packages, expecting that something       will show where the package came from or is going to. Dead mail will also be listed on a       so that people can call in and check to see if a missing thing is there on the screen. However, all of this mail cannot simply be      forever; there is just too much of it. When a lot of dead mail comes together, the dead mail offices hold public auctions (拍賣). Every three months, some people who are       are invited to the offices with objects found in dead mail packages and they are sold to the       bidder (出價者).

Do you know of anyone who uses the truth to cheat? When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out (略去) important information that should be inside, he can give you a false picture.
For example, someone might say, “I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery(彩票). It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!”
This guy is a winner, right? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought $ 200 worth of tickets, and only one was a winner. He’s really a big loser!
He didn’t say anything that was false, but he left out important information on purpose. That’s called a half-truth. Half truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.
Some politicians (政客) often use this trick. Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term, her state lost one million jobs and got three million jobs. Then she tries to get another term. One of her opponents (競爭對手) says, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state lost one million jobs!” That’s true. However, an honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state had increased two million jobs.’’
Advertisers will sometimes use half–truths. It’s against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead you with the truth. An advertisement might say, “Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache.” It fails to say that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company.
This kind of cheating happens too often. It’s a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.
小題1:We may infer that the author believes people should ________.
A．buy lottery tickets if possible
B．make use of half–truths
C．be careful about what they are told
D．not trust the Yucky Company
小題2:How many examples does the writer give to show how the truth is used to cheat?
A．OneB．TwoC．Three D．Four
小題3:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Using half truths is against the law.
B．Technically, half truths are in fact lies.
C．Yucky Pills is a very good medicine for toothache.
D．Governor Smith did a good job during her last term.
小題4:Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?
A．He’s really a big loser!
B．Sometimes the truth can lie as well.
C．Advertisers will sometimes use half truths.
D．It’s against the law to make false statements.

Today we can use the Internet for many things: shopping, business, writing letters, talking to people, getting information and so on. In recent years, a new kind of English has grown on the Internet. There's no real word for it yet, so we call it e-talk.
People don't like typing too much. To save time, they turn phrases into a few letters， acronyms(首字母縮略詞). Acronyms are often used in chat rooms. Some are as follows:
BRB (be right back), BTW (by the way), LOL (laughing out loud), IMO (in my opinion)
People also use many abbreviations. They are shortened forms of words. Some common abbreviations include info (information), pic (picture), puter (computer), sec (second), etc.
We usually don't see people when we communicate on the Net, so people have new ways to show feelings. Most people use their keyboards to draw "feelings", such as:
:-)  (happy)     ;-)  (joking)       :-(  (sad)        :-O  (surprised)
These days, many public discussions have picture feelings, for example:
    
(happy)           (sad)            (angry)           ( (cool)
There are even whole new words, like "newbies"(someone who is new on a chat board or forum). When you write something bad about someone else, it's called "burning" the person.
It takes time for people to get used to e-talk. Also, different groups on the Net have their own special ways of communicating. Newbies sometimes have to ask other people what they mean. As the Internet grows, e-talk will continue to grow and change.
小題1:Why do people type acronyms?
A．To type them quickly.B．To make jokes.
C．To make newbies puzzled.D．To show their feelings.
小題2:What does the sentence “BTW, my puter is not working well. :-( ”mean?
A．The person is happy about getting a new computer.
B．The person has to go away from their computer.
C．The person is sad that his computer is having problems.
D．The person is angry at somebody.
小題3:If someone is angry, what may he type?
A.   LOL      B. BRB.               C.   D.
小題4:E-talk will probably____________.
A．stay the same
B．keep changing
C．be used by people on the telephone
D．be easy for newbies to understand
小題5:The best title for this passage is________.
A．E-talkB．Picture Feelings

"How are you?" is a nice question. It's a friendly way that people in the USA greet each other. But "How are you?" is also a very unusual question. It's a question that often doesn't need an answer. The person who asks "How are you?" hopes to hear the answer "Fine", even if the person's friend isn't fine. The reason is that "How are you?" isn't really a question and "Fine" isn't really an answer. They are simply other ways of saying "Hello" or "Hi".
Sometimes, people don't say exactly what they mean. For example, when someone asks "Do you agree?", the other person might think, "No, I disagree. I think you're wrong..."But it isn't very polite to disagree so strongly, so the other person might say "I'm not sure." It's a nicer way to say that you don't agree with someone.
People don't say exactly what they are thinking when they want to finish talking with other people. For example, many talks over the phone finish when one person says "I've to go now."Often, the person who wants to hang up gives an excuse:"Someone's at the door.""Something is burning on the stove."The excuses might be real, or not. Perhaps the person who wants to hang up simply doesn't want to talk any more, but it isn't polite to say that. The excuse is more polite, and it doesn't hurt the other person.
Whether they are greeting each other, talking about an idea, or finishing a talk, people don't say exactly what they are thinking. It's an important way that people try to be nice to each other, and it's part of the game of language.
小題1:When a person in America asks "How are you?", he or she wants to hear" ________ "
A．How are you?
B．Hello.
C．I don't know.
D．Fine.
小題2:When a person disagrees with someone, it is polite to say"_________ "
A．You are wrong. I disagree.
B．I'm not sure.
C．I'm sure I disagree.
D．I don’t agree with you.
小題3:A polite way to finish a talk is to say"__________"
A．You have to go now.
B．I want to hang up.
C．I have to go now.
D．I don't want to talk any more.
小題4:When a person says "I've got to go now. Someone's at the door.", the person may be_______.
A．giving an excuse
B．hurting someone's feelings
C．talking to a person at the door
D．going to another place
小題5:The rule of the game of language is probably____________ .
A．"Always say what you mean"
B．"Don't disagree with people."
C．"Never say exactly what you're thinking."
D．"Be polite."

Reading newspapers has become an important part of everyday life. Some people read newspapers as the first thing to do in the morning. Others read them as soon as they have free time during the day so that they learn what is         （發(fā)生）in the world. Sometimes we are so busy that we don't have any time to read all the news.
