Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2 has set new nationwide and global box-office records for ticket sales in its opening weekend. The final part of the Harry Potter series is creating the perfect storm of record-breaking box-office sales. Before this movie, The Dark Knight held the opening weekend record. The Dark Knight actually sold a few more tickets. But with 3D and IMAX ticketing as well as the passion of fans who have waited for a long time to see the ending of J.K. Rowling’s brilliant story, the final Harry Potter movie was going to be hugely successful, no mater what.

And as if film-makers were magically able to save the best for last, critics(評論家) completely agree that The Deathly Hallows, Part 2 is the best film of the entire series and there has been little negative(負(fù)面的) to say about the performances of the film’s stars. When they were 10 or 11 years old, Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint have grown up on the big screen. They grew in their character as the story was told through the years.

As the story draws to a close, the final Harry Potter film is set to break the $1 billion mark in worldwide sales. And even though the film series is finally over, J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter will live on in different forms of merchandising (附帶產(chǎn)品), including major theme parks, action figures and almost certainly, various versions of the story.

Once upon a time, a library was just about the only place that someone could go to get a book or go to read for free. Then came the arrival of the Internet, and that changed everything. Before long, books were available on different sites on the web. It was only a matter of time until Kindle, Nook, and other e-readers swept the scene. Along with them came the e-book. Many believed that this would be the end of libraries. But libraries still exist today, and many of them even thrive(繁榮). So, how is it possible that they survived against the onslaught of e-books?

For one thing, the truth is that libraries were never just about borrowing books for free. Librarians provide many services other than those of a desk clerk or customer service agent. They often hold seminars, presentations, contests, and other events to promote free education. These events are considered necessary by parents and kids alike.

For others, the library is a place where they can go to get away from the rush of the world and from social obligations or family troubles. Many go to the library to study for projects, papers and exams. Others simply see it as a recreational hobby.

For another thing, most libraries and librarians do not reject the changing tides of technology. And neither does the world, for that matter. In the US, the graduate degree program to become a librarian is often called a Library Science program. It reflects the fact that the country believes its librarians should keep up with the latest in information technology. Many librarians agree, and therefore have become experts in the field. Librarians have by now and large willingly educated themselves in the technology needed to keep up with the fast-paced digital world of technology today.

So consider a visit to your local library to see all the recent changes. If you haven’t been to one in a while you might not recognize the place. But don’t worry. Your librarian will be happy to bring you up to speed.

1.The underlined word “onslaught” in Paragraph 1 can best be replaced by “_____”.

A. price B. attack C. future D. quality

2. According to Paragraph 4, many librarians ______.

A. prefer traditional books to e-books

B. don’t need to have a graduate degree

C. can’t keep up with the world of technology

D. have made good use of new technology in their work

3.What’s the author’s attitude towards the future of librarians?

A. Hopeful. B. Careless. C. Doubtful. D. Disapproving.

4.Which of the following shows the structure of the text?

A. B.

C. D.

CP: Central Point P: Point Sp: Sub-point(次要點) C: Conclusion

How to Improve Your Study Habits

Perhaps your are an average student with average intelligence. You do well enough in school, but you probably think you will never be a top student. 1. Yes, even students of average intelligence can be top students without additional work. Here are some tips for you:

1. Plan your time carefully. Make a list of your weekly tasks. Then make a schedule or chart of your time. Fill in committed time such as eating, sleeping, meetings, classes, etc. Then decide on good, regular times for studying. 2. It’s important to set aside time for relaxation, hobbies, and entertainment as well. Furthermore, it will enable you to plan your activities so that you have adequate time for both work and play.

2. Find a good place to study. Choose one place for your study area. It may be a desk or a chair at home or in the school library, but it should be comfortable, and it should not have distractions. When you begin to work, you should be able to concentrate on the subject.

3. 3. Listening to what the teacher says in class means less work later. Sit where you can see and hear well. Take notes to help you remember what the teacher says.

4. Study regularly. 4. Review important points mentioned in class as well as points you remain confused about. If you review your notes and textbook regularly, the material will become more meaningful and you will remember it longer. Regular review leads to improved performances on test.

5. Develop a good attitude about tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test, so don’t worry excessively about a single test. Tests provide more than grades. 5.

Several years before, my friend and I drove to Chicago to pay a visit our other friends. We noticed that there was a homeless man sitting at an exit of the subway. So we bought some food and gave them to him. When he saw what we have bought for him, he became exciting with joy. After seeing his reaction, my friend and I decided to help more people. One night we packed up sandwiches or bottles of water, looking for people whom were in need. When I saw the look of joy in the face of each person we helped, I was very pleased. It was one of the most amazing feeling in my life.

On a freezing afternoon, I picked up a wallet in the street. There was no identification(身份證) inside. Just three dollars, and an old letter that looked as if it had been carried around for years. I opened the letter and saw that it had been written in 1924——almost 60 years ago. I read it carefully, hoping to find some clue to find the wallet’s owner.

It was a “Dear John” letter. The writer, in a delicate script(娟秀的字跡),told her lover, whose name was Michael, that her mother did not allow her to see him again. It was signed Hannah and her phone number. So I called.

“No, of course! We bought this house from Hannah thirty years ago. Hannah had to live in the nursing home many years ago. Maybe you can go there.”

Then I phoned the nursing home and was told, “Yes, Hannah is with us. Hannah was a sweet, silver-haired old-woman with a warm smile and friendly eyes. ”

I went up to the third floor of the nursing home. I showed her the wallet and the letter. The moment she saw it, she took a deep breath. “Young man,” she said, “this letter was the last contact I had with Michael. ” She then said deeply: “I loved him very much. But I was only sixteen and my mother felt I was too young. I never did marry, I guess no one ever matched up to Michael...”

I took the elevator to the first floor. As I stood at the door, holding the letter to the guard. He looked at it closely and said, “Hey, I know ,the letter is Mr. Goldstein’s. He’s always losing it.”

“Who’s Mr. Goldstein?” I asked. “He’s one of the old-timers on the eighth floor. That’s Michael Goldstein’s wallet, for sure. We went there where Michael Goldstein was reading a book. I told him I know where Hannah is.”He grew pale. “Hannah? You know where she is? How is she? When that letter came, my life ended. I never married. I guess I’ve always loved her.”

“Michael,” I said. “Come with me.” We three took the elevator to the third floor. We walked toward the Hannah’s room, still watching TV. Michael Goldstein went over to her.“Hannah,” he said softly. “Do you know me? Hannah, I’m Michael, Michael Goldstein. Do you remember?”

“Michael? Michael? It’s you!”He walked slowly and they embraced(擁抱)

tearfully. A perfect ending for a love affair that had lasted nearly 60 years.

Larry Ritsema was out for an early morning jog around his neighborhood one day. On a quiet street, he began to feel weak. Suddenly, everything went black. Larry fell to the ground.

Less than a minute later, Tom Alguire passed by on his bicycle. He caught sight of a man lying on the roadside, so he jumped off his bike and ran over. He recognized Larry immediately, because he had been Larry’s doctor for nearly 20 years.

Dr. Tom felt for a pulse (脈搏) at first. Finding none, he began to give Larry first aid. It wouldn’t restart Larry’s heart, but it would keep the blood flowing until someone else arrived. Tom could only hope someone would come by soon, at around six o’clock in the morning on a holiday weekend. Tom couldn’t stop pressing Larry’s chest to run for help — Larry’s brain cells would die without the blood. And Tom didn’t have a cell phone with him.

Soon, a car did drive by. But the driver ignored Tom’s appeal for help. What was he going to do? Tom was very worried. Finally, another car came down the road, driven by Michael Saliot, a U.S. Coast Guard Officer. Michael wasn’t one to pass up a chance to help a person in need. He quickly dialed 911.

Doctors then found that Larry had suffered a heart attack and there were severe blockages in two of Larry’s major arteries (動脈). Only the timely arrival of Dr. Tom saved his life.

How did Dr. Tom happen to be bicycling that morning, down that quiet street? It turned out that as Tom rode, his bike chain fell off. He spent about eight minutes fitting it back; otherwise, he would have seen nothing of Larry’s problem.

1.Doctor Tom gave Larry first aid in order to _____.

A. wake up Larry

B. keep Larry’s blood flowing

C. restart Larry’s pulse

D. stop Larry from bleeding

2.Why didn’t Tom call 911 for help?

A. He couldn’t stop pressing Larry’s chest.

B. He didn’t take a cell phone with him.

C. He was so nervous that he forgot to do it.

D. He was waiting for someone else for help.

3.Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?

A. Larry Ritsema went to work early by bike that morning.

B. Tom Alguire saw Larry when Larry fell to the ground.

C. Michael Saliot was a man always ready to help others.

D. Tom fitted his bike chain back after Larry was sent to hospital.

4.According to the last paragraph, which of the following words can be used to describe Larry in his incident?

A. Surprising B. Tragic C. Smart D. Lucky

The youngest of five children in a poor family, Clara Barton was born on Christmas Day 1821 in Oxford. Before the Civil War, Clara’s most famous achievement (成就) was the establishment (建立) of a free public school in New Jersey. Her only medical experience before the war was when she cared for her sick brother for ten months.

During the war, Clara soon devoted herself to saving the wounded soldiers who needed medical supplies. Because of her successful operation, she was praised by the U.S. general, William Hammond, and was allowed to travel with army ambulances.

For the next three years, Clara traveled along with the army operations throughout Virginia and South Carolina. In addition, she also formed a program at Camp Parole, where she attempted to find any soldier who was missing in the war.

Upon the war’s end in 1865, Clara set up an information center to aid in locating missing soldiers. Meanwhile, she made lectures quite frequently, and as a result of exhaustion (筋疲力盡), three years later in 1868, she suffered a breakdown and went to Switzerland to recover.
