     For several years, Americans have enjoyed teleshoppingwatching TV and buying things by phone.
  1   In a number of European countries, people can turn on their TVs and shop for clothes,jewelry,
food, toys, and many other things.
      2      For example, the biggest Swedish company sells different kinds of things on TV in 15 European
countries, and in one year it made $100 million. In France there are two teleshopping channels, and the
French spend about $ 20 million a year to buy things through those channels.
      In Germany, until last year teleshopping was only possible on one channel for 1 hour every day. Then
the government allowed more teleshopping. Other channels can open for telebusiness, including the
largest American teleshopping company and a 24hour teleshopping company.   3  
     Some people like teleshopping because it allows them to do their shopping without leaving their
homes. With all the problems of traffic in the cities, this is an important reason, but at the same time,
other Europeans do not like this new way of shopping.    4    Many Europeans usually worry about the
quality of the things for sale on TV. Good quality is important to them,and they believe they cannot be
sure about the quality of the things on TV.
        5   They will have to be more careful about the quality of the things they sell. They will also have to
w ork harder to sell things that the buyers cannot touch or see in person.

A. Now teleshopping is starting in European.
B. They call teleshopping “Junk on the air”.
C. Teleshopping is becoming popular in Sweden.
D. German businesses are hoping this new teleshopping    will help them sell more things.
E. The need for high quality means that European teleshopping companies will have to be different
    from the  American companies.
F. Teleshopping is popular among people.
G. German teleshopping business is controlled by American.

閱讀表達(dá)
閱讀下面的短文,并根據(jù)短文后的要求答題(請(qǐng)注意問題后的字?jǐn)?shù)要求).
 
     (1)Our character, basically, is a mixture of our habits. "Sow a thought, reap an action; sow an action,
reap a habit;________, reap a character; sow a character, reap a destiny (命運(yùn))," the maxim goes.
     (2)Habits are powerful factors in our lives. Because they are  often unconscious patterns, they
constantly daily affect our character and produce our effectiveness or ineffectiveness.
     (3)As Horace Mann, the great educator, once said, "Habits are like a cable. We weave a rope of it
everyday and soon it cannot be broken." I personally do not agree with the last part of his expression. I
know habits can be learned and unlearned. But we also know it isn't a quick fix. It involves a process
and a tremendous effort.
     (4)Those of us who watched the lunar voyage of Apollo 11 were shocked as we saw the first men
walk on the moon and return to earth. But to get there, those astronauts had to break out of the
tremendous gravity pull of the earth. More energy was spent in the first few minutes of lift-off, in the first
few miles of travel, than was used over the next several days to travel half million miles.
     (5)Habits, too, have tremendous gravity pull- more than most people realize or would admit.
Breaking deeply developed habitual tendencies such as procrastination(拖延) , impatience, criticalness,
or selfishness that go against basic principles of human effectiveness involves more than a little willpower
and a few minor changes in our lives. "Lift off" takes a tremendous effort, but once we break out of the
gravity pull, our freedom takes on a whole new situation.
     (6)Like any natural force, gravity pull can work with us or against us. The gravity pull of some of our
habits may currently be keeping us from going where we want to go. But it is also gravity pull that keeps
our world together, that keeps the planets in their orbits and our universe in order. It is a powerful force,
and if we use it effectively, we can use the gravity pull of habit to create the order necessary to establish
effectiveness in our lives.

     Are you tired of the same old schedule on Mother's Day? Well, here are some new ideas to help you enjoy
that special day with your mother.
     While it seems almost a tradition to take your mother out for dinner on Mother's Day, perhaps this year
you could try something else. You could invite her to a restaurant before or after the actual day. This way you
don't have to fight the crowds, and the prices will be lower.
    Take your mother out for a picnic lunch if the weather is nice. You and she can enjoy the cool breeze under
the shade of a tree while having a nice meal that you have made for her. Be sure to pack some of her favorite
foods.
     Another idea would be to invite your mother to go bowling (打保齡球). Even if she has never bowled in
her life, trying something new is always interesting.
     You could treat her to a movie she is dying to see, and make sure you buy her all the popcorn and candies
she can eat. If you are a male, the chances are you won't like the movie she wants to see, so instead you could
go to the mall and get your picture taken with your mother, which she can proudly display in her house.
     Take her to a spa on Mother's Day. She has been working so hard and needs a way to release her stress.
     If she doesn't want to go to a spa, buy her special soaps and oils so she can relax herself in her own tub.
There are various types of soaps and oils with delicious flavors available. You could also buy her some
scented (芬芳的) candles that she could light by her tub to make the atmosphere peaceful.
     No matter what you choose, make sure you do something special for the woman who took care of you
for so long.

     Time spent in a bookshop can be most enjoyable,whether you are a booklover or merely go there to
buy a book as a present.You may even have entered the shop just to find shelter from a sudden shower.
Whatever the reason,you can soon become totally unaware of your surroundings.
     The desire to pick up a book with an attractive dust_jacket is irresistible,although this method of
selection ought not to be followed,as you might end up with a rather dull book.
     You soon become interested in some book or other,and usually it is only much later that you realize you
have spent far too much time there and must dash off to keep some forgotten appointment-without buying
a book,of course.
     This opportunity to escape the realities of everyday life is,I think,the main attraction of a bookshop.
There are not many places where it is possible to do this.A music shop is very much like a bookshop.You
can wander round such places to your heart's content.If it is a good shop,no assistant will approach you
with the inevitable greeting:"Can I help you,sir?" You needn't buy anything you don't want.In a bookshop
an assistant should remain in the background until you have finished browsing.Then,and only then,are his
services necessary.Of course,you may want to find out where a particular section is,but when he has led
you there,the assistant should retire discreetly (謹(jǐn)慎地) and look as if he is not interested in selling a single
book.
    You have to be careful not to be attracted by the variety of books in a bookshop.It is very easy to enter
the shop looking for a book on,say ancient coins and to come out carrying a copy of the latest bestselling
novel and perhaps a book about brassrubbing-something which had only slightly interested you up till then.
This volume on the subject,however,happened to be so well illustrated and the part of the text you read
proved so interesting that you just had to buy it.This sort of thing can be very dangerous.Apart from
running up a huge account,you can waste a great deal of time wandering from section to section.
1.The underlined phrase "dust jacket" means ________.
A.a(chǎn) kind of clothes  
B.a(chǎn) paper cover of a book
C.a(chǎn) dusty book    
D.a(chǎn) title of a book
2.You may spend too much time in a bookshop because________.
A.the dust jackets are very attractive
B.you start reading one of the books
C.it is raining outside
D.you have to make sure you won't buy a dull book as a present
3.In a good bookshop________.
A.a(chǎn)ll the books there are interesting
B.the assistant greets you in a warm way
C.your heart is satisfied
D.you feel that you are in a music shop
4.The best title for this passage may be________.
A.The Attraction of Bookshops

     The words "timetable" and  "schedule" make most final year students want to eat their own vomit(嘔吐
物). Unfortunately, the harsh reality is that final year students must develop a timetable. If you don't have a
schedule or plan for studying ,you will have no way of allocating your valuable time when the unexpected
arises. A well-thought-out timetable can be a lifesaver . It is up to you to learn how to develop a schedule
that meets your needs .Change it if necessary ,but most important ,follow it . All timetables should be made
with the idea that they can be changed. A good one will keep you from wandering off course.
     A good timetable should make every hour count-every class ,social event and other activity you engage
in .You must focus on the other "free time" available and how you will use it .Make a weekly schedule and
divided each day into one-hour increments .Indicate times for classes ,socializing ,and work time. Also
block off a period for sleeping every day. In the precious hours left over ,plan time for study .This gives
you a rough road map of the time available. Of course ,you can change your schedule as circumstances
need.
   The timetable you develop should guide you in how to distribute the available time in the most productive
manner .Sticking to your schedule can be tough ,but don't dribble away valuable time. Avoiding study is
the easiest thing in the world .It is up to you to follow the schedule you've prepared .A good deal of your
success in high school and with any future study depends on this simple truth.
     Remember ,there is a learning curve. You learn the most in the first 30 minutes of study; after that ,it
progressively deteriorates(減弱). After four or five hours of studying the same material in the same way,
you are learning virtually nothing. The solution is to keep switching subjects and study styles.
1.What is the best title of the passage?
A.Advantages of starting a timetable  
B.Keep to it ,and you will succeed
C.Make a schedule ,and follow it     
D.Learn to love your timetable
2.What does Paragraph 2 talk about?
A.Tips for making a schedule.      
B.Significance of a scientific timetable.
C.Requirements for making a timetable.

閱讀理解。
     Sunday is more like Monday than it used to be. Places of business that used to keep daytime "business
hours" are now open late into the night. And on the Internet, the hour of the day and the day of the week
have become irrelevant (不相關(guān)的). A half century ago in the United states, most people experienced strong
and precise dividing lines between days of rest and days of work, school time and summer time. Today the
boundaries still exist, but they seem not clear.
     The law in almost all states used to require stores to close on Sunday; in most, it no longer does. It used
to keep the schools open in all seasons except summer, in most, it still does. And whether the work week
should strengthen its legal limits, or whether it should become more "flexible" is often debated. How should
we, as a society, organize our time? Should we go even further in relaxing the boundaries of time until we
live in a world in which every minute is much like every other?
     These are not easy questions even to ask. Part of the difficulty is that we rarely recognize the "law of
time" even when we meet it face to face. We know as children that we have to attend school a certain number
of hours, a certain number of days, a certain number of years-but unless we meet the truant officer (學(xué)監(jiān)),
we may well think that we should go to school due to social custom and parents' demand rather than to the
law. As adults we are familiar with "extra pay for overtime working.", but less familiar with the fact that what
constitutes (構(gòu)成) "overtime" is a matter of legal definition. When we turn the clock forward to start daylight-
saving time, have we ever thought to ourselves; "Here is the law in action"? As we shall see, there is a lot of
law that has great influence on how organize and use time: compulsory education law, overtime law, and
daylight-saving law-as well as law about Sunday closing, holidays, being late to work, time zones, and so on.
Once we begin to look for it, we will have no trouble finding a law of time to examine and assess.
1. By saying "Sunday is more like Monday than it used to be," the writer means that _____.
A. work time is equal to rest time
B. many people have a day off on Monday
C. it is hard for people to decide when to rest
D. the line between work time and rest time is unclear
2. The author raises the questions in Paragraph 2 to introduce the fact that people _____.
A. fail to make full use of their time
B. enjoy working overtime for extra pay
C. are unaware of the law of time
D. welcome flexible working hours
3. According to the passage, most children tend to believe that they go to school because they _____.
A. need to acquire knowledge
B. have to obey their parents
C. need to find companions
D. have to observe the law
4. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Our life is governed by the law of time.
B. How to organize time is not worth debating.
C. New ways of using time change our society.
D. Our time schedule is decided by social customs.

     May the first is an important date in the college admission process in the United States. This is the last
day for high school seniors to accept or reject offers of admission in the fall. But according to a recent
report, there is a great change. Acceptance rates at the top colleges this year were lower than ever. 
     1    
     These days, college applicants are applying to more colleges because online and common applications make the process easier.    2    On the other hand, deciding students for top colleges to accept can be
difficult because it takes much time. Students may not like being put on waiting lists. Also, common
colleges work more to get the students they accept to accept them. Some colleges hold visiting days that
offer a chance to attend classes and stay overnight. Some universities send gifts.     3    
     For many families, the most important thing colleges can do is show them the money, especially this
year; the weak economy makes parents nervous.     4     The recent problems that spread from the
housing market to credit(銀行貸款) markets have even affected student's loans. So lately, top schools
have to spare lots of money to increase their financial aid for students. 
         5      The Education Department expects the number of high school graduates to start to go down.
     This will happen as the last of the children of the baby boom generation finish high school. The number
is not expected to start rising again until 2015.
