Diao Weihao, a student who studies business English at the Chengdu campus of Sichuan International Studies University, was in his dormitory when the earthquake struck at 2:30 pm on Monday.
The 22-year-old felt that his chair was shaking. All of a sudden, the textbooks on the bookshelf began to fall to the floor. The glass in the window broke.
“It felt like our dormitory building was being hit by a tractor,” recalled Diao. “I wasn’t afraid.. I was even excited and curious. Now, looking back, it was a scary experience.”
Diao and his roommates kept their calm. They didn’t try to get out of the building until the shaking stopped. They were on the fifth floor and they feared there might be trouble if they didn’t remain calm.
“We’ve watched lots of disaster films, and that helped us keep cool,” he said. “Only one student sprained(扭傷) his ankle. He was escaping in a hurry. Most of us got outside quickly and safely.”
They were surprised to see so many students outside.
“I began to realize then what had happened,” he said. The college had warned them that in the event of an earthquake, they should leave the dormitory immediately. A few did rush in when it was safe to grab some clothes to keep warm.
Without any tents or bedding, the students stayed on the football field for the whole night. Rain started falling in the morning, but the students all kept in good order. They simply chatted and shared their feelings and comforted each other.
“Our students seemed to have self-control,” he said. “I heard that hospitals in Chengdu have lots of injured people who jumped out of buildings.”
Now, Diao is mostly worried about the people in Wenchuan County.
“It seems we won’t be able to have classes in one or two day’s time,” said Diao. “I want to become a volunteer at the damage-hit area, or donate my blood to the injured people in hospital. Also, I will write on my blog to keep people calm and encourage them to protect themselves during emergencies.”
Since the university is close to Dujiangyan, Diao and his classmates are still forbidden to return to their dorms or classrooms. However, they can eat in the canteen and get information about other parts of Sichuan by reading the newspapers.

Fun is, in fact, a word heard far more frequently in families today than in the past, when "duty'' and "responsibility" were often the words used.
Parents today are more youthful in appearance and attitudes. Their clothes and hair-styles are more casual, helping to bridge the divide. Those who are athletically inclined also enjoy Rollerblading, snowboarding, and rock-climbing with their children.
For the past three years, Kathy and Phil Dalby have spent at least one evening a week at a climbing gym with their three children. "It's great to be able to work together," Mrs Dalby says. "We discuss various climbs and where the hard parts are. Sometimes that leads to other Conversations. We're definitely closer."
A popular movement of parent effectiveness training in the 1970s has helped to reshape generational roles. The philosophy encourages children to describe their feelings about various situations. As a result, says Robert Billingham, a family-studies professor at Indiana University, "Parents and children began talking to each other in ways they had not before."
On the plus side, he adds, these conversations made parents realize that children may have important thoughts or feelings that adults need to be aware of.
But Professor Billingham also sees a downside: Many parents started making decisions based on what their child wanted. "The power shifted to children. Parents said, 'I have to focus on making my child happy', as opposed to 'I have to act as a parent most appropriately'."
Other changes are occurring as the ranks of working mothers grow.  Time-short parents encourage children's independence, making them more responsible for themselves. "They'll say, 'We trust you to make the right decisions' (whether they're ready to assume the responsibility or not) ,"says Billingham.
The self-esteem movement of the past quarter-century has also affected the family dynamics (原動(dòng)力). Some parents worry that if they tell their child no, it will hurt the child's self-esteem.
小題1:What's the trend in parent-child relationship mentioned in the passage?
A.Parents are chasing after fashion and ignoring the feelings of their children.
B.More parents and children are sharing the same enthusiasm for a certain sport.
C.Parents are taking more responsibility and setting more limits for their children.
D.The generation gap is narrowing and parents are respecting their children's thoughts more.
小題2:Which of the following has NOT contributed to the change in the parent-child relationship?
A.Younger parents.B.Parent effectiveness training.
C.More working mothers.D.The self-esteem movement.
小題3:What's Billingham's attitude towards parents who make children more responsible for themselves?
A.He supports them.B.He admires them.
C.He disagrees with them.D.He thinks they're unreasonable.
小題4:What will probably be discussed following the last paragraph?
A.The effect of more working mothers on children' s education.
B.The benefits of the new relationship between parents and children.
C.The importance of self-esteem and ways to develop children's self-esteem.
D.The risks of setting no rules and some suggestions on how to have a balanced attitude.
小題5:What's the best title for the text?
A.Parents and Children as Friends.B.Parents and Professors as Debaters.
C.Growing Mutual Understanding.D.Disappearing Responsibility.

Tired of all the pushing in supermarkets? Fed up with waiting in endless lines to pay for what you have bought? Angry at wasting time in traffic jams only to find no parking spaces when you eventually arrive at the store? If this is you, then online shopping is the answer to your dreams of trouble-free shopping.
Online shopping brings its own challenges. Here are a few things to bear in mind when browsing (瀏覽) various websites. The claim (聲稱) made by online sites is that shopping online is a safe and secure way to make purchases. The evidence challenges this. In any case, you only have to be the victim(受害者) of fraud (欺騙) once to experience all the problems that come with this form of stealing. Use only sites that have a trusted history and an excellent reputation(名聲).
Another problem is that the appearance of items in reality is often quite different from what you see on your computer screen. This might not be a problem if you are buying washing up powder but could be a major disappointment when that beautiful blue dress you ordered turns up in green. Also, product descriptions are sometimes simply untrue! Perhaps the wisest plan is to purchase items whose design and color are not essential to customer satisfaction.
Some even argue that online shopping indirectly contributes to global warming. Yes, your car can stay parked but how are online goods delivered? Often by some large van pouring out carbon monoxide and adding to our already desperate traffic problems. You are also by now becoming increasingly irritated(使煩惱) by the fact that the delivery is late !
Without question, online shopping is here to stay and it has its benefits. However, perhaps it is not as wonderful as some of its supporters claim it to be.
小題1:How can online shoppers avoid fraud?
A.By choosing big websites.
B.By collecting shopping evidence.
C.By seeking advice from the police.
D.By using only trusted websites.
小題2:What does the author tell us about online shopping in Paragraph 3?
A.Don’t believe product descriptions easily.
B.Product appearances are always not good.
C.It is usually wise to buy colorful products.
D.It is normal for a blue dress to change into green.
小題3:The author agrees with the fact that        .
A.online shopping is a safe way to make purchases
B.customers are never satisfied with products
C.online shopping has nothing to do with global warming
D.delivery delay often makes online shoppers unhappy
小題4:What is the author’s attitude towards online shopping?
A.It is very popular.
B.It is a wise choice.
C.It is a double-edged sword(雙刃劍).
D.It is a waste of time.

Federal regulators Wednesday approved a plan to create a nationwide emergency alert(警報(bào))system using text messages delivered to cell phones.
Text messages have exploded in popularity in recent years,particularly among young people.The wireless industry’s trade association, CTIA,estimates(估計(jì))more than 48 billion text messages are sent each month.
The plan comes from the Warning Alert and Response Network Act,a 2006 federal law that requires improvement to the nation's emergency alert system.The act tasked the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) with coming up with new ways to alert the public about emergencies.
“The ability to deliver accurate and timely warnings.and alerts through cell phones and other mobile services is an important next step in our efforts to help ensure that the American public.has the information they need to take action to protect themselves and their families before, and during,disasters and other emergencies. ”FCC Chairman Kevin Martin said following approval of the plan.
Participation in the alert system by carriers—telecommunications companies is voluntary, but it has received solid support from the wireless industry.
The program would be optional for cell phone users. They also may not be charged for receiving alerts.
There would be three different types of messages,according to the rules.  
The first would be a national alert from the president,likely involving a terrorist attack or natural disaster.The second would involve “approaching threats,”which could include natural disasters like hurricanes or storms or even university shootings. The third would be reserved for child abduction(綁架)emergencies,or so-called Amber Alerts.
The service could be in place by 2010.
小題1: What is the purpose of the approved plan?
A.To warn people of emergencies via messages.
B.To popularize the use of cell phones.
C.To estimate the monthly number of messages.
D.To promote the wireless industry.
小題2: The improvement to the present system is in the charge of ________.

A new study of 8,000 young people in the Journal of Health and Social Behavior shows that although love can make adults live healthily and happily,it is a bad thing for young people.Puppy love(早戀)may bring stress for young people and can lead to depression(憂郁癥).The study shows that girls become more depressed than boys,and younger girls are the worst of all.
The possible reason for the connection between love and higher risk of depression for girls is “l(fā)oss of self”.According to the study,even though boys would say “l(fā)ose themselves in a romantic relationship”,this “l(fā)oss of self” is much more likely to lead to depression when it happens to girls.Young girls who have romantic relationships usually like hiding their feelings and opinions.They won’t tell that to their parents.
Dr Marianm Kaufman,an expert on young people problems,says 15% to 20% young people will have depression during their growing.Trying romance often causes the depression.She advises kids not to jump into romance too early.During growing up,it is important for young people to build strong friendships and a strong sense of self.She also suggests the parents should encourage their kids to keep close to their friends,attend more interesting school activities and spend enough time with family.
Parents should watch for signs of depression—eating or mood changes—and if they see signs from their daughters or sons,they need to give help.The good news is that the connection between romance and depression seems to become weak with age.Love will always make us feel young,but only maturity(成熟)gives us a chance to avoid its bad side effects.
小題1:What’s the main idea of the passage?
A.Romance is good for young people.
B.Parents should forbid their children’s love.
C.Romance is a two ­edged sword for adults.
D.Puppy love may bring young people depression.
小題2:Which of the following is more likely to have depression?
A.Young girls who always hide their feelings and opinions.
B.Young boys whose parents watch for their behavior.
C.Young people who have a strong sense of selfishness.
D.Careless parents whose children are deep in love.
小題3:What can be inferred from the passage?
A.Lacking love can lead young people to grow up more quickly.
B.The older a woman is,the less likely she seems to lose herself in romance.
C.Parents should help their children to be aware of the signs of depression.
D.Early love makes young people keep close to their friends and parents.
小題4:What’s the author’s attitude towards puppy love?
A.ConfusedB.Scared

I once had a friend that was diagnosed with terminal cancer, and the news that he might only live up to six months was a great shock to him, his family, and his friends.However, in spite of the serious illness, he was initially(開始) determined to look into all available treatments that might cure or extend his life.I think that when you find yourself in such situations, you tend to look up every possible way for hope of saving your life.
As months went on and his health grew worse, I noticed an unexpected change in attitude that came over him.He had also been a happy person with a cheerful personality, but rather than give in to discouragement and self-pity, he took comfort in God and humanity(人性).His talks focused on others rather than himself, and he spoke of the afterlife as something he was prepared for, believing that his concerned ancestors, including his mother and father, were there waiting for him.
During the last few months, weeks, and days of his life, he was kindly cared for by family, friends, his loving wife, who looked after both his physical and emotional needs, and workers from a local hospice (安養(yǎng)院) came to the home to regulate(調(diào)節(jié)) his medication (藥)and provide any other needed support.He didn't complain about his fate, and he willingly allowed others to serve him.
Indeed, one might think why God allows death and suffering in our world, but for me, such experiences taught me to value family more and kindness for others.You often can't learn these important attributes(屬性)in the lap of luxury(處在優(yōu)裕舒適的環(huán)境中), and perhaps, such an experience is the greatest and final gift the illness can give those left behind.
小題1:Which word can best describe the man's initial reaction as soon as he was diagnosed with cancer?
A.Satisfied.B.SadC.SurprisedD.Concerned.
小題2:What did the man do after he first learned of his illness?
A.He was operated on immediately.
B.He researched cancer treatments.
C.He retired from his job
D.He felt sad, doing nothing.
小題3:What was the man's main source of comfort after several months with the disease? 
A.His family and friends.B.The care from others
C.His doctors’ encouragement.D.His belief in humanity.
小題4:What did the author learn from his friend’s story?
A.Getting comfort from God.
B.Extending life as possible.

We all remember seeing hitchhikers(搭便車的人), standing by the side of the road, thumb sticking out, waiting for a lift. But it is getting rare nowadays. What killed hitchhiking? Safety is often mentioned as a reason. Movies about murderous hitchhikers and real-life crime have put many drivers off picking up hitchhikers. That no single women picked me up on my journey to Manchester no doubt reflects the safety fear: a large, strangely dressed man is seen as dangerous.
But the reason may be more complex: hitchhiking happens where people don’t have cars and transport services are poor. Plenty of people still hitchhike in Poland and Romania. Perhaps the rising level of car ownership in the UK means the few people lift hitchhiking are usually considered strange. Why can’t they afford cars? Why can’t they take the coach or the train?
Three-quarters of the UK population have access to a car; many of the remainder will be quite old. The potential hitchhiking population is therefore small. Yet my trip proves it’s still possible to hitchhike. The people who picked me up were very interesting-lawyer, retired surgeon, tank commander, carpenter, man who live in an isolated farmhouse and a couple living up in the mountains. My conclusion is that only really interesting people are mad enough to pick up fat blokes in red,
spotted scarves. Most just wanted to do someone a good turn; a few said they were so surprised to see a hitchhiker that they couldn’t help stopping.
The future of hitchhiking most likely lies with car-sharing organized over the Internet, via sites such as hitchhikers. org. But for now, you can still stick your thumb out(actually, I didn’t do much of that, preferring just to hold up my destination sign) and people-wonderful, caring, sharing, unafraid people-will stop.
In the UK, with its cheap coaches and reasonable rail service, I don’t think I’ll make a habit of it. But having enjoyed it so much, I’m ready now to do a big trip across Europe and beyond. In the 1970s a female friend of my wife’s hitchhiked to India. How wonderful it would be to have another go, though Afghanistan might be a challenge. I wish I’d got that tank commander’s mobile number.
小題1:The author tried to hitchhike but was rejected by single women drivers because_____________ .
A.they were not heading towards Manchester
B.they thought most hitchhikers were dangerous
C.hitchhiking had been forbidden and they didn’t want to break the law
D.he was a strong man in strange clothes who seemed dangerous
小題2:Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A.That some people refuse hitchhikers may reflect the safety fear.
B.Car ownership levels are lower in Romania than in the UK.
C.40% of UK people don’t have access to cars.
D.Increased car ownership has reduced the need for hitchhiking.
小題3:The “fat blokes in red, spotted scarves” in Paragraph 3 most likely means         .
A.murderous hitchhikers
B.friendly and talkative hitchhikers
C.typical hitchhikers
D.strange hitchhikers like the author
小題4:According to the author, future hitchhikers are more likely to                 .
A.visit websites and find people to share cars with
B.stand by roads with their thumbs sticking out
C.stick out signs with their destinations written on
D.wait for some kind people to pick them up
小題5:From the last paragraph, we know that the author                    .
A.frequently hitchhikes in Britain
B.plans to hitchhike across Europe
C.thinks public transport is safer for travel
D.is going to contact the tank commander

Japanese students work very hard but many are very unhappy. They feel great pressure from their parents to do well in school and in college. Most students are always being told by their parents to study harder so that they can have successful future. Although this may be good advice for those who are very bright, it can have very bad results for many students who are not quick enough at learning.
Unfortunately, a number of students actually kill themselves. Others are after comfort in using drugs. Some students, however, do bad things with groups of bad people and turn to crime. Many of them have tried very hard at school but, in spite of all their tries, have failed in certain examinations and have disappointed their parents. Such students feel that they are less important than everyone else they meet and leave school before they finish their study.
It is surprising that although most Japanese parents are anxious for their children to do well at school, they do not help them in any way. Many parents feel that they are unable to help their children with their lessons and that it is the teachers’ job to help their children.
To make matter worse, a lot of parents send their children to special schools called juku-cram schools. These schools are open during the evenings and on weekends, and their only purpose is to prepare students to pass exams; they do not try to educate students in any real sense of the world. Thus comes a shock to realize that almost three quarters of the junior high school students attend these cram schools.
Ordinary Japanese schools usually have rules about everything from the length of students’ hair to their clothes and things in their school bags. Child psychologists now think that such strict rules often lead to a feeling of being unsafe and being unable to fit into society. They believe that no sense of moral(道德) values is developed and that students are given neither guidance nor training in becoming good citizens.
小題1:Many Japanese students are unhappy at school because          .
A.the school work is too much
B.their teachers are too strict with them
C.their parents put much pressure on them
D.they can’t get on well with their friends
小題2:How many unexpected things will some of Japanese students do when they are not doing well in their studies?
A.TwoB.FourC.SixD.Eight
小題3:What’s some experts’ opinion about Japanese school rules?
A.They are a set of effective rules.
B.They can help the students to be useful persons.
C.They are bad for the development of each student.
D.They stress the importance of sense of moral values.
小題4:According to the third paragraph, who have not tried their best?
A.The schools.B.The students.
C.The teachers.D.The parents.
小題5:choose the best title for this passage:
A. Poor students in Japan
B. poor students in campus in Japan
