7.Around 200 people who thought their only experience of the London 2012 Olympic Games would be minor heats of synchronized swimming (花樣游泳) have received an unexpected change to the men's 100m final because of an embarrassing ticketing mistake.
The London 2012 Organizing Committee (Locog) confirmed on Wednesday that an error in its ticket selling had led to four synchronized swimming competitions being oversold by 10,000 tickets.
Locog and its ticket agent spent the Christmas period contacting ticket holders and offering them alternatives that included the tickets they had applied for but unsuccessful.The changes need no additional cost.It has also offered to return any discrepancy (差額) if the new tickets cost less than the originals.Locog said the replacement tickets would come from a number of unsold seats across the Olympic Games and that it was doing all it could to make up the error to the fans who bought tickets.
Locog said the error occurred in the summer,between the first and second round of ticket sales,when a member of staff made a mistake,entering"20,000"into the computer rather than the correct figure of 10,000 remaining tickets.The error was discovered when Locog checked the number of tickets that had been sold against the final seating numbers,and began contacting ticket holders before Christmas.
Thousands of ticket holders have already struck lucky,changing to tickets for major events including swimming and athletics finals,and in around 200 cases the hottest of all,the men's 100m final.Locog said the decision to award 100m final tickets was made because one of the synchronized swimming competitions was on the same afternoon as the event,August 5.

6.Now Hear This
What do former American president Bill Clinton and rock musician Pete Townshend have in common.'?Both men have hearing damage from exposure to loud music,and both now wear hearing aids as a consequence.As a teenager,Clinton played saxophone in a band.Townshend,who has the more severe hearing loss,was a guitarist for a band called the Who.He is one of the first rock musicians to call the public's attention to the problem of hearing loss from exposure to loud music.
Temporary hearing loss can happen after only 15minutes of listening to loud music.One early warning sign is when your ears begin to feel warm while you listen to music at a rock concert or through headphones.One later is that an unusual sound or a ringing is sometimes produced in your head after the concert.
"What happens is that the hair cells in the inner ear are damaged,but they're not dead,"says physician and ear specialist Dr.Sam Levine.According to Dr.Levine,if you avoid further exposure to loud noise,it's possible to   recondition  the cells somewhat.However,he adds,"Eventually,over a long period of time,hair cells are permanently damaged."And this is no small problem.
What sound level is dangerous?According to Dr.Levine,regular exposure to noise above 85decibels (分貝) is considered dangerous.The chart below offers a comparison of decibel levels to certain sounds.Here's another measurement you can use.If you're at a rock concert and the music is so loud that you have to shout to make yourself heard,you're at risk for hearing loss.That's when wearing protective devices such as earplugs becomes critical.
The facts are pretty frightening.But are rock bands turning down the volume.'?Most aren't."Rock music is supposed to be loud,"says drummer Andrew Sather."I wouldn't have it any other way.And neither would the real fans of rock."
Continued exposure to loud music and the failure to wear earplugs can lead to deafness,according to Dr.Levine.He states,"There's no cure for hearing loss.Your ears are trying to tell you something.That ringing is the scream of your hair cells dying.Each time that happens,more and more damage is done."
Levels of Common Noises
Normal conversation                            50-65dB
Food blender                                  88dB
Jet plane flying above a person standing outside      103dB
Rock band during a concert                      110-140dB
63.From Paragraph 1,we can learn thatA.
A.loud music is a major cause of hearing loss
B.famous people tend to have hearing problems
C.teenagers should stay away from school bands
D.the problem of hearing damage is widely known
64.In Paragraph 3,the underlined word"recondition"meansD.
A.not to be seen                      B.to fill with sound
C.to become larger in size            D.to make good again
65.The purpose of the chart at the end of the article is to showB.
A.a list of harmful sounds
B.the effect of rock concerts
C.the noise levels of familiar sounds
D.relationship between daily activities and hearing loss
66.Which of the following statements will Dr.Sam Levine probably agree?C
A.When your ears feel warm,your hair cells are dead.
B.Drummer Andrew Sather gives good advice.
C.Many are taking the risk of losing hearing.
D.Doctors know how to cure hearing loss.

15.The malls were filled with people seeking gifts for their loved ones.Some of the malls remained open around the clock,partly to satisfy our needs to buy gifts.
Behind the materialistic aspect of shopping for gifts lies the idea of caring,being attentive to the desires of special people in our lives.However,to use a well-worn play on words:it is our presence,not our presents,that truly counts.Many of us,unfortunately,can be so inattentive,even in the presence of our loved ones,that we might as well not be there at all.
Attention is one of the greatest gifts we can give each other.Companies around the globe spend billions every year on advertising to catch our attention for just a short moment at a time.Whole industries-media,entertainment,education-rely on the precious gift of our attention for their continued existence.A baby lacking attention for a long time is likely to he psychologically unhealthy.
In earlier times,both diet and attention could be left unregulated(沒人管的)without major cause for concern.There were natural checks and balances:limited availability of food meant few got fat,for example.Similarly,in bygone times we might have spent a few hours communicating with the village storyteller,today,watching an entire TV series,while speaking to nobody,is common.In traditional societies,with smaller population,everyone would get a fair deal of attention.On many issues we might go to see Grandma or Grandpa; now we have Google and Wikipedia.
"She just wants attention."people tend to think little of those doing things simply for attention.But the truth is that human beings need attention,and giving attention to each other is,to a large extent,what human civilization is based upon.This perhaps explains the runaway success(一舉成功)of social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook.While we use such sites for"micro blogging","idea voicing"and"status updates"-the reality is that we are often doing no more or less than fulfilling our basic human drive for attention exchange.
I friend you,you friend me,I retweet you,you retweet me.The charming case with which we can now get and give attention is why many people appear overly attached to their smartphones.It is also a vicious(惡性)circle.As ever more people are busy exchanging attention online,there is increasingly less attention to be paid in the real world,which forces more people to seek their attention exchange online,or else risk attentuion-starvation.
The very nature of attention exchange is being rapidly transformed,and there is a danger that some of us will develop unhealthy practices.Just as eating red meat every day is a bad idea,so it is with too much attention exchange.The biological consequences of our technological advancement in food production are highly visible; heart disease,diabetes and obesity.The consequences of our transformed attention exchanges will be psychological and social,and so may take longer to identify,but they will be equally damaging.
Face-to-face attention is becoming rarer,and therefore more valuable.In a sense it is priceless.And it is a gift that can be given all-year-round.

41.In the first two paragraphs the authorD.
A.offers advice to attention givers                 
B.analyses the present problems
C.states the necessity of presents
D.puts forward his point of view
42.Attention exchange was not a major concern in traditional societies because ofB.
A.limited availability of food    
B.natural checks and balances
C.a much smaller population       
D.the guidance from old people
43.People use social networking sistes such as Twitter and Facbook toD.
A.obtain information              
B.give attention to others
C.voice their opinions            
D.notice and get noticed
44.What can we infer from Paragraph 6-7?D
A.More people will risk attention-starvation in future.
B.The nature of attention exchange is rarely changed.
C.Technological advancement contributes to all diseases.
D.Transformed attention exchanges do harm to society.
45.The writer's purpose for writing the passage is toA.
A.advocate more focus on real life attention        
B.analyze the necessity of attention giving
C.give practical tips on attention exchange
D.recommend some social networking sites.

7.Bongos was a happy,artistic girl. She had one big ambition to play the drums in a band.But one big obstacle lay in her way.To be good enough to play in a band,Brenda had to practice a lot,but she lived next-door to a lot of old people.Many of them are sick.She knew that the sound of beating drums would really get on their nerves.So,she had tried playing in the strangest places:a basement,a kitchen,and even in a shower. But there was always someone it would annoy.
One day,while watching a science documentary on TV,she heard that sound cannot travel in space,because there's no air.At that moment,Brenda Bongos decided to become a sort of musical astronaut.
With the help of a lot of time,books and work,Brenda built a space bubble.This was a big glass ball connected to a machine which sucked out all the air inside. All that would be left inside was a drum kit(成套設備) and a chair. Brenda got into the space suit she had made,entered the bubble,turned on the machine,and played those drums like a wild child.
It wasn't long before Brenda Bongos came very famous.Many people came to see her play in her space bubble.Shortly afterwards she came out of the bubble and stated giving concerts.Her fame spread so much that the government suggested that she be part of a unique space journey.Finally,Brenda was a real musical astronaut,and had gone far beyond her first ambition of playing drums in a band.
Years later,when asked how she had achieved all this,she thought for a moment,and said:"If those old people next-door hadn't mattered so much to me,I wouldn't have found a solution,and none of this would have ever happened."

56.Why did Brenda try to play in the strangest places?B
A.Because she didn't want others to hear her play.
B.Because she didn't mean to disturb others.
C.Because she didn't have her own room.
D.Because she didn't like her neighbors.
57.Brenda started to give concertsA.
A.after she practiced in her space bubble
B.when she became part of the unique space journey
C.after she became a real musical astronaut
D.when people came to see her in the space bubble
58.Brenda became famous becauseC.
A.she was good at music and scienceB.she became a real musical astronaut
C.she invented a special way of practiceD.she played well and had a talent
