      The gray-haired lady can't wait to leave the building to search for her dad.Unless watched, she will
walk in the streets in an effort to find her father,who died 30years ago.
     Not all cases of Alzheimer's disease look like this,but Alzheimer's is a serious disease that is said to be
the fourth or fifth leading cause of death for people over age 75.
      It is said that about three percent of the U.S. population over age 65 have Alzheimer's.In the early stages,
people may exhibit short term memory loss. Some may experience changes in personality, easy to be angry.
As the disease progresses, patients might lose the ability to move and may be unable to speak or move at all.
This progressive disease generally lasts 8 to 10 years before death occurs.
     While no one is certain what causes these changes in the brain's nerve fibers (神經(jīng)纖維), their effect is
certain. Alzheimer's destroys not only the patients, but also spouses (配偶), friends and families.
     What should you do if you notice progressive memory loss in yourself or a loved one? Have the person
examined by a doctor who is a specialist in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. Though many reasons other
than Alzheimer's disease may cause memory loss,its early diagnosis (診斷) and treatment may delay some of
the most serious effects.
     What feeling will you likely experience should a loved one suffer from Alzheimer's disease? A person will
often go through the various stages of sadness, shock, anger, and so on. If the spouse develops the disease,
you may experience hurt and disappointment when he or she doesn't remember you are married.
     Life for the Alzheimer's patients and their loved ones will never be the same as the disease progresses,
bringing a deep sorrow, loss and even anger towards God. No matter what feelings are present, facing them
honestly will serve one better than burying them.

1. What can be inferred from the passage about the gray-haired day?
A. She has been living with her father.
B. She was sad about the death of her father.
C. She can't search for her father without being watched.
D. She suffers from Alzheimer's disease.
2. When people suffer from Alzheimer's disease, ______.
A. their families and friends will suffer from the same disease
B. their families and friends will experience mental sufferings
C. they will certainly die in 8 to 10 years
D. they will forget everybody but their spouses
3. Memory loss occurs ______.
A. from Alzheimer's disease and nothing else
B. from sadness,shock,anger,and so on
C. for a number of reasons
D. with changes in personality
4. From the passage we know that _____.
A. early treatment may stop Alzheimer's disease occurring
B. it is still unknown what causes the changes in the brain's nerve fibers
C. nerve fibers in the brain will cause Alzheimer's disease
D. when one suffers from Alzheimer's disease,he will be buried

    Don't talk to me．I'm busy with my iPhone．

    　　Riding a London subway, a person from China will notice one major difference：in London, people do not look at each other．In fact, eye contact is avoided at all times．That's not rudeness－people are just too busy to bother looking．

    　　Busy doing what, you ask? Well, they're certainly not using the time for a moment of quiet reflection(沉思)．Nor are they reading a book．New technology has replaced quiet habits．Today the only acceptable form of book on the London Underground is an e-book．

    　　Apple must earn a fortune from London commuters(乘車上下班的人)．Since the launch of the iPhone in 2007, over 40 000-yes, that's 40 000--" apps"(programs downloaded for the iPhone)have been designed．

    　　Commuters love them because they are the perfect time-filler．One" app", called iShoot, is a game that features tanks．Another one, Tube Exits, tells passengers where to sit on the train to be closest to the exit of their destination(目的地)ISteam clouds the iPhoue screen when you breathe into the microphone．You can then write in the" steam" on your phone screen．

    　　For those without an iPhone, another Apple product, the iPod, may be the distraction(消遣)of choice．It's not just teenagers who"plug in" to their music--iPods are a popular way to pass the time for all ages．

    　　And if games e-books and music aren't enough to keep you occupied．Then perhaps you would prefer a film? The development of palm DVD technology means many commuters watch their favorite TV show or film on the way to work．With all this distraction, it's amazing that people still remember to get off the train．

    閱讀理解.
         Don't you think your schoolbag is too heavy to bear? The e-schoolbag will free you from
    the weight.
         It is said that e-schoolbags are going to be brought into use in Chinese middle schools
    soon. An experiment with several hundred e-schoolbags will begin in seven cities: Beijing,
    Shanghai, Dalian, Shenzhen, Chongqing, Taiyuan and Shijiazhuang. And the e-schoolbags
    are going to cover all over China if the experiment shows to be successful. In fact, the
    e-schoolbag should perhaps be called an e-notebook. It is a small hand-held computers
    for school students.
         Heavy schoolbags have long been a serious problem for school students. The average
    schoolbag of middle school students weighs up to 5 kilos. But the e-schoolbag will change
    everything. It is much lighter than a usual schoolbag, weighing under 1 kilo.
         Also, it is no bigger than a usual book, but it can still hold all the things for study, such
    as a textbook, a notebook and exercise book. They could be made into chips that are as
    small as a stamp. The students can read the text page by page on the screen. They can
    still take notes using a special electronic pen. If they want to know the meaning or the
    pronunciation of a new word, or even e-mail their teachers, it's just a press of a button.
         In some foreign countries, it is becoming common. But it is hard to tell when people
    will receive this new form of study. Some say that e-textbooks can easily be broken,
    some say that it is not good to students' eyesight to look at the screen for long.But only
    time will tell.
    1．The e-schoolbag has many functions EXCEPT _______.
    A. It can pronounce the words.
    B. It can send e-mails.
    C. It can be used as a dictionary.
    D. It can phone somebody.
    2．According to the passage, the e-schoolbags _______.
    A. are not heavy as before but still large
    B. are used as an experiment in Tianjin
    C. are made of metal
    D. are going to cover China if it shows to be successful
    3．Which of the following statement is TRUE?
    A. All the students in China will use this new schoolbag.
    B. We can do a lot of work based on the programmers of the chips.
    C. The e-notebooks are very perfect.
    D. We will not make notes because the e-notebook can make all by itself.
    4．Which of the following can be the general title of the passage? ______
    A. An Experiment In China
    B. Please Change Your Schoolbag
    C. A New Invention, A New Schoolbag
    D. Chips

         Don't_believe_all_of_the_stereotypes(模式化的形象)you_may_have_heard_about_Americans.Even the ones that are true in general may not be true about specific individuals or a large part of the population.For example,although Americans tend to be louder than people from other cultures(especially at athletic
    events),many of the people you meet will be quiet and polite.Some people may be intolerant, but most will be pleasant and welcoming.Remember that American films and television exaggerate(夸張)in order to
    generate excitement, and so present a rather false picture of what life in the United States is really like.
    Therefore,tourists in the US are not always on their best behavior.
         Americans do tend to be more informal than people from other countries.It is common for Americans
    to wear casual clothing to school and to greet professors by first name.However, good manners and
    politeness are always appreciated.If you are polite, and dress a little more formally than your American
    friends, it will not be poorly thought of.
         However,some businesses require their employees to wear a uniform or a suit.It would be improper to wear a Tshirt and blue jeans to a job interview.Some of the more prestigious restaurants require a coat and a tie.Americans tend to dress up for cultural events(the opera,theater and ballet)and to dress down for
    athletic events.Formal wear is required at weddings and funerals, or any other event with religion.If you
    rely on the stereotypes,you will likely put yourself into an embarrassing situation.
    1. The underlined sentence probably means________.
    A. some of the stereotypes you may have heard about Americans are not true
    B. you should not believe the stereotypes you may have heard about Americans
    C. none of the stereotypes you may have heard about Americans should be believed
    D. none of the stereotypes you may have heard about Americans should not be believed

    A. businessmen  
    B. visitors to America
    C. American students  
    D. American filmmakers

    A. most Americans are polite
    B. people who are polite are welcome
    C. casual clothing makes others uncomfortable
    D. American students are impolite to their teachers
    4. We can learn from the passage that________.

         Don't make sudden changes. Start slowly, by waking just 15 to 30 minutes earlier than usual. Get used to this for a few days. Then cut back another 15 minutes. Do this gradually until you get to your goal time.
    Sleep earlier. You might be used to staying up late, perhaps watching TV or surfing the Internet. However, you just might fall asleep much sooner than you think.
         Put your alarm away from your bed. You have to get up out of bed to shut it off. By then, you're up.
    Now you just have to stay up.
         Go out of the bedroom as soon as you shut off the alarm. Don't find an excuse to go back to bed. My
    habit is to force myself into the bathroom. By the time I've washed my hand, and the toilet of course, and
    looked at my ugly face in the mirror, I'm awake enough to face the day.
         Allow yourself to sleep in once in a while, as long as it's not a regular thing. I do it maybe once a week or so.
         Make it a reward. At first you're forcing yourself to do something hard, but if you do something
    pleasurable as part of your morning routine, soon you will look forward to waking up early. My reward used to be to make a hot cup of coffee for myself and read a book. Now I look outside (or better yet, get
    outside!) and watch the sky turn light. It's beautiful. It's now my favorite time of day.
    Getting up early is a reward in itself for me and so will it be for you.
    1. Which of the following does the writer suggest we do?
    A. Get up at our goal time to start the new habit.
    B. Shut off TV and the Internet, and face the day.
    C. Get up at the same time every day to keep the habit.
    D. Do something enjoyable in the morning to begin the day.
    2. We should get into the bathroom right after we get out of bed because________.
    A. that is part of our routine
    B. we really need a cold wash
    C. the alarm clock needs to be shut off
    D. that will make ourselves completely awake
    3. The writer enjoys ________most in the morning.
    A. doing some washing
    B. making a cup of coffee for himself
    C. watching the daybreak
    D. sleeping late, and thinking in bed
    4. This passage is written to________.
    A. share the writer's experience
    B. give tips for becoming an early bird
    C. persuade people to get up early
    D. help get rewards from getting up early
