       Last week I visited my friend Pete in the new home where he lives with his wife and daughter. Pete
used to spend his holidays travelling the world, visiting the pyramids in Egypt or scuba diving(潛水) in the
Caribbean. Nowadays he prefers to spend his holidays and weekends making his house look more
beautiful. Like hundreds of thousands of other British people, he has discovered the joy of DIY (Do It
Yourself), which means if there are any things that need fixing around the house, he will try to do the job
himself.
       As he showed me the new kitchen he put together by himself and the newly painted walls, I asked
Pete where he got his inspiration (靈感) from. He told me that his favorite source of ideas was a DIY
program on TV.
       This got me thinking about the great popularity of DIY programs in the UK. Each major channel has at least one home or garden improving show and there’s even a satellite channel completely about the
subject.
       I guess it is not really surprising that DIY programs are so popular. Two common sayings in Britain- ‘a(chǎn)n Englishman’s home is his castle’ and ‘there’s no place like home’-show how important our houses are to us. With the present economic downturn, many people can’t afford to buy a gigger house so they
are looking at how they can make their house better without spending a lot of money. DIY is the perfect
choice.
       But be careful! I read a report that said over 230,000 people were injured while doing home
improvements in the UK in just one year, including 41,000 who fell off ladders(梯子) and 5,800 who were seriously hurt by hammers. So I won’t be going down to the hardware store.

1. How did Pete spend his holiday in the past?          

A. Visiting his friends.      
B. Diving.
C. Travelling around the world. 
D. Making his house beautiful.

2. Which might NOT be shown in a DIY program on TV?             

A. Scuba diving       
B. A garden improving feature.
C. Home improvements.  
D. Fixing things in kitchens
3. Which is NOT the reason why DIY is popular among British people?           

A. They enjoy DIY.        
B. They want to make their houses better themselves.
C. They can improve their houses without spending much money.
D. They want to be on TV.

4. At the end of the article the writer wants us to remember _____.

A. not to go to the hardware store
B. to be careful not to get hurt while doing DIY
C. to keep watching DIY on TV while drinking a nice cup of tea
D. not to climb ladders or use hammers

5. It can be inferred from the article that _____.

A. people in the UK like DIY more than people in other countries
B. DIY programs are the most popular in the UK
C. home is the most important place to the English
D. British people can’t afford to buy houses during the economic downturn

     One day, when old Jacob and little Jacoble were walking home, the sun began to go down. Old
Jacob was thinking of his house and little Jacoble didn't know what to think. Then he thought of a
wonderful idea, and he cried, "Jacob! Do you know what I saw yesterday? I saw a green rabbit. It
was flying in the air and it was so big, even bigger than an elephant!"
     "You saw that with your own eyes?" asked old Jacob. "Of course I did," said Jacoble proudly. "It's
a good thing that you really saw that big, flying, green rabbit," said old Jacob, "because that old bridge
we are going to walk over is a very strange one. As soon as anyone who hasn't told the truth comes on
it, the bridge breaks in two." They continued walking.
     "Jacob," said Jacoble a little later, "you know that big, green, flying rabbit I saw yesterday ... Well,
it wasn't really flying, and ... it wasn't quite as big as an elephant ... but it was very big, about the size
of a horse!" "Big as a horse?" asked Jacob as they got closer to the bridge and little Jacoble began not
to feel so well.
     "Jacob," said Jacoble. "That big, green rabbit I saw yesterday, well, I had something in my eye and
so I couldn't see that well. It wasn't a very big rabbit but it was green. Yes, that's what it was - all green!"
     Old Jacob didn't say a word. He just walked over the bridge. But Jacoble didn't go after him because
he was afraid and he knew why he was afraid. He stood at the bridge and said, "Oh, Jacob! You know
that rabbit I saw yesterday. It wasn't green. No. It was just a little, brown rabbit."
     Then he was not afraid of anything any more and he ran happily over the bridge.
1. We know from the text that the story happened ______.
A. in the morning
B. inthe afternoon    
C. at dusk (黃昏)  
D. at midnight
2. Jacob considered Jacoble's story ______.
A. humorous    
B. interesting        
C. frightening    
D. unbelievable
3. Why did little Jacoble change his story again and again?
A. Because he was afraid of falling into the river.
B. Because he tried to persuade Jacob to believe it.
C. Because he wanted to frighten Jacob.
D. Because he didn't remember the story clearly.
4. What lesson can we learn from the text?
A. A lie will never be known.
B. True friends don't cheat each other.
C. Telling lies makes one suffer from fears.
D. Making up a story is lying.

     At a young age, Patti Wilson was told that she was an epileptic(癲癇患者). Her father, Jim Wilson,
is a morning jogger. One day she said, "Daddy, I want to run with you every day, But I'm afraid I'll have
a seizure(發(fā)作).
     Her father told her, "If you do, I know how to handle it, so let's start running!"
    That's just what they did every day. It was a wonderful experience for them to share. And there were
no seizures at all while she was running. After a few weeks, she told her father, "Daddy, I want to break
the world's long-distance running record for women."
     So she did. That year, she wore a T-shirt that read, "I love epileptics" and completed her run to San
Francisco. Her dad ran every mile at her side, and her mom, a nurse, followed in a car behind them in
case anything went wrong.
     In her second year in college, Patti's classmates got behind her. They built a giant poster that read,
"Run, Patti, Run!"
     Her foot was injured when she was running to Portland. A doctor told her she had to stop her run.
     "Doctor, you don't understand," she said, "This isn't a whim(突發(fā)的奇想)of mine. I'm doing it to
break the chains on the brains that limit so many others. Isn't there a way I can keep running?" "Yes, but
it would be incredibly painful." The doctor said. She told the doctor just to do it.
     At last she finished the run to Portland and completed her last mile with the governor of Oregon.

B. Confident
C. Opposed.
D. Unconcerned

     A soldier named John Blanchard struck up(建立)a pen pal friendship with a woman, Sally Maynell,
who he had never met in the months before World War II. When the fighting began, their correspondence still continued.
     Over the next year or so the two got to know each other through their letters. Even so, when Blanchard asked for a photograph, the woman refused. She felt that if he really cared, it wouldn't matter what she
looked like.
     When the day finally came for him to return from Europe, they scheduled their first meeting - 7:00 pm at Grand Central Station in New York. "You'll recognise me," she wrote, "by the red rose I'll be wearing on my suit."
     At the station a beautiful young woman approached him. She was wearing a green suit and was
everything that he hoped Miss Maynell would be. But there was no red rose. There was another woman.
She was well past 40 and had her hair tucked(塞)under a worn hat. She was more than plump, her fat feet thrust(擠)into shoes. Her pale face was gentle and her gray eyes had a warm twinkle(閃光). On her coat,
there was a red rose.
     He did not hesitate. His fingers gripped the small worn copy of the book that was to identify him to her. "This will not be love, but it will be something precious, something perhaps even better than love, a feeling
for which I have been and must ever be grateful." he thought.
     " I'm John Blanchard, and you must be Miss Maynell. I am so glad you could meet me. May I take you to dinner?" he asked.
     The woman's face broadened into a smile. "I don't know what this is about, son." she answered, "But
the young lady in the green suit who just went by begged me to wear this rose on my coat. And she said if you were to ask me out to dinner, I should go and tell you that she is waiting for you in the big restaurant across the street. She said it was a kind of test!"
1. According to the first three paragraphs, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Miss Maynell didn't think herself beautiful enough.
B. Miss Maynell didn't turn up at the meeting place.
C. Mr. Blanchard lost contact with the woman during the war.
D. Mr. Blanchard and the woman kept in touch by writing to each other.

2. When Mr. Blanchard saw the middle-aged woman, he probably felt a little __________.

A. disappointed
B. excited
C. indifferent
D. expectant
3. The "feeling" of Mr. Blanchard in the underlined sentence perhaps can be referred to as a kind of
__________.

A. friendship
B. love
C. brotherhood
D. memory

4. Miss Maynell set up such a test because she __________.
A. was too shy to see Mr. Blanchard directly
B. wondered whether Mr. Blanchard would keep his word to meet her
C. wanted to play a trick on Mr. Blanchard
D. wanted to know Mr. Blanchard cared more about her looks or her personality
5. Which of the following words can be used to describe the Maynell?
A. Beautiful but shy
B. Beautiful and wise
C. Young but sly(狡猾)
D. Young and amusing

     As I was leaving to meet Lynne, my roommate told me that I'd better take some money, but I didn't
listen to him. I thought that Lynne would pay because she had invited me.
     I arrived at the restaurant exactly on time. I'd been told that Americans expect you to be on time.
Lynne and I sat at a table in the corner of the restaurant and a waitress came and took our order. The
dinner was a great success. I talked a lot about Saudi Arabia and Lynne told me all about herself. After
two hours the waitress finally came and asked if we wanted one check or two. Lynne said two. We
went to the cashier and Lynne paid her check. I was embarrassed (尷尬) when the cashier gave me my
bill. I had no money to pay for my meal. Then I had an idea. I pretended to look for something in my
pockets and said,"Oh!I forgot my money! Can I call my roommate, please?" The cashier showed me
where the phone was and I quickly called my roommate.
     In a few minutes he arrived with some money,but he couldn't hide how he felt. He laughed all the way
home.
     Now, I think it's funny too. But at the time I was terribly embarrassed. I thought that an invitation to
have dinner meant the same thing in the United States as in my country. I guess you have to understand
that your customs are only your customs. When you visit a foreign country, you have to learn about their
customs, too.
1. The writer's roommate advised the writer to take some money with him to________.
A. pay for the table
B. share the cost of the meal

3. The writer and Lynne________.

A. quite the same  
B. entirely different
C. close to each other  
D. very similar
5. Why didn't Lynne pay the check for the writer?

B. Because she didn't have the meal.
C. Because she thought it was natural for people to pay their own check.
D. Because she wanted to embarrass the writer.

     Our boat floated on between walls of forest. It was too thick to allow us a view of the land we were
passing through, though we knew from the map that our river must from time to time be passing through
chains of hills which crossed the jungle plains. Nowhere did we find a place where we could have landed: where the jungle did not actually spread right down into the river, banks of soft mud prevented us form
going ashore. In any case, what would we have gained by landing? The country was full of snakes and
other dangerous creatures and the jungle was so thick that one would be able to advance slowly, cutting
one's way with knives the whole way. So we stayed in the boat, hoping that when we reached the sea, a
friendly fisherman would pick us up and take us to civilization.
     As for water, there was a choice. We could drink the muddy river water, or die of thirst. We drank the water. Men who have just escaped from what appeared to be certain death lost all worries about such
small things as diseases caused by dirty water. In fact, none of us suffered from any illness as a result.
    One day we passed another village, but fortunately nobody saw us. We did not wish to risk being taken prisoners a second time: we might not be so lucky as to escape in a stolen boat again.
1. It can be inferred from the passage that the only thing they could see in a boat was __________.
A. tall trees
