     People in the United States honor their parents with two special days: Mother's Day, on the second
Sunday in May, and Father's Day, on the third Sunday in June. These days are set aside to show love
and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens. They give
love and care. These two days offer a chance to think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers.
More mothers now work outside the home. More fathers must help with child-care.
     These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mother's Day people wear
carnations. A. red one stands for a living mother. A. white one shows that the mother is dead. Many
people attend religious services(宗教儀式)to honor parents. It is also a day when people whose parents
are dead visit their graves. On these days, families get together at home and in restaurants. They often
have outdoor BBQs for Father's Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.
      Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Children make them in school. Many people make their
own presents. These are valued more than the ones bought in stores. It is not the value of the gift that is
important, but it is "the thought that counts". Greeting card stores, florists, candy makers, bakeries,
telephones companies and other stores do a lot of business during these holidays.

1. Which is NOT a reason for children to show love and respect for parents?

A. Parents bring children
B. Parents give love and care to children

     Popeye the Sailor first became a popular cartoon in the 1930s.The sailor in that cartoon ate lots of
spinach to make him strong. People watched him, and they began to buy and eat a lot more spinach.
Popeye helped sell 33 percent more spinach than before! Spinach became a necessary part of many
people's diets. Even some children who hated the taste began to eat the vegetable.
     Many people thought that the iron in spinach made Popeye strong, but this is not true. Spinach does
not have any more iron than any other green vegetable.
     People only thought spinach had a lot of iron because the people who studied the food made a
mistake. In the 1890s, a group of people studied what was inside vegetables. This group said that
spinach had ten times more iron than it did. The group wrote the number wrong, and everyone accepted
it.
     Today, we know that the little iron there is in spinach cannot make a difference in how strong a person
is. However, spinach does have something else which the body needs-folic acid.
It is interesting to point out that folic acid can help make a person strong. Maybe it was really the folic
acid that made Popeye strong all along.    

1. A good title for this reading passage is______.

A. Popeye the Sailor
B. The Truth About Spinach
C.A Mistake with Numbers
D. Folic Acid Makes You Strong

     Parsley (歐芹)  is an ancient green and a respected addition to many foods. But at other times, its
job is just to make a mealtime plate look pretty. Poor parsley, valued for its looks, then is thrown away.
Yet parsley is a good source of vitamins and other nutrients. The taste is a little strong for some people,
but others chew on parsley to freshen their breath.
     Curly parsley is the king that often ends up being used just for appearance. Flatleaf parsley is easier
to work with for cooking. This kind is often called Italian or French parsley. Do you know about a third
kind of parsley? Hamburg parsley has flat leaves that can be used for the same purposes as other parsley. But hamburg parsley has a large root which is used as a vegetable to add flavor to soups.
     Parsley is used in foods such as tabouli, a traditional Lebanese salad and is often served with lamb,
fish and beef dishes. Parsley is a herb if you use just the greens.If the root is used, then parsley is
considered a vegetable.
     Some gardeners suggest that to get the besttasting parsley, you should plant new seeds every year.
You can get parsley to grow faster by pouring warm water over the seeds. Leave the seeds in the water
overnight. Then you can grow them in containers indoors or plant them outside. Parsley grows best when
temperatures are below twentyone degrees Celsius. It likes to grow in sunny places. The seeds need rich
soil. Plant the seeds about fifteen to twentyfive centimeters apart. Water them regularly during the first
month. After that, parsley does not need very much water. You can harvest parsley by cutting most of

     How did language begin? What was the world's first language? Do all languages come from one
original language?   1     .
      In the 4th century BC, the Greek historian Herodotus wrote this account: Psamtik I,an Egyptian
King, wanted to find out what the oldest language in the world was.    2    .He told his servant to find
two newborn babies.When the servant had found them, the king gave them to a shepherd (牧羊人)
and said,  “Keep these babies with the goats.Take care of them, but do not talk to them.Listen to any
words that they say.” The king wanted to find out what language the children would speak if they were
left alone.He said, “The first words they speak will come from the original language of the world.”
         3    . He told the king who asked his scholars about this word.They told him that the Phiygians,
who lived in an area which is now Turkey, called bread “becos”. The king said, “Then Phiygian is the
oldest language.” Today we know that the king's conclusion was wrong.We don't know why the children
said “becos”. 
      4  . Scholars discovered that many European and southern Asian languages belonged to the same
“family” and that they started from the same parent language, ProtoIndoEuropean.Linguists think that it
had split into several different languages, including Greek and Sanskrit, between 2000 and 1000 BC.
Other languages, such as English and Spanish, developed from later splits.
       5   . Two questions that interest linguists are: How does language change? Why does language
change? If you like solving mysteries, historical linguistics may be the job for you.

A. Nowadays, we study the origin of language more scientifically
B. He was talking about this problem with his scholars when he had an idea
C. The King was very kind to his servant and his servant remained royal to him
D. Linguists are the scholars who are very interested in categorizing the language families
E. People have been trying to find the answers to these questions for more than 2000 years
F. One day, while the babies were babbling to each other, the shepherd heard them say “becos”

     How words came into being is unknown.All we assume(推測(cè))is that some early men invented certain
sounds,in one way or another,to express thoughts and feelings,actions and things,so that they
could talk with each other.Later they agreed upon certain signs,called letters,which could be put
together to show those sounds,and which could be written down.Those sounds,whether spoken or
written in letters,are called words.
    The power of words,then,lies in their associations-the things they bring up to our minds.Words
become filled with meaning for us by experience;and the longer we live,the more certain words bring
back to us the happy and sad events of our past;and the more we read and learn,the more the
number of words that mean something to us increases.
    Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words
which have powerful effects on our minds and feelings.This clever use of words is what we call literary
style(文體). Above all,the real poet is a master of words.He can express his meaning in words which
sing like music,and which by their position and association can move men to tears.We should therefore
learn to choose our words carefully and use them correctly,or they will make our speech silly and
common.

1. We learn from the text that language might have begun with ________.

A. expressions     
B. actions
C. signs  
D. sounds

2. What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 2?

A. The learning of new words.
B. The importance of old words.
C. The relation of human experience with words.
D. The gradual change and development of words.

3. In the last paragraph,what does the author suggest that we should do?

A. Use words skilfully.
B. Make musical speeches.
C. Learn poems by heart.
D. Associate with listeners.

     I was reading these intriguing stories behind a group of great logos in the world. Personally Nike is my
favorite one-it's so simple. And I liked the stories behind them, which made me forget all other things.
McDonald's, Apple, Mercedes Benz and Adidas own great logos as well, and they are among my very
favorites.
     Nike
     In the Greek myth, Nike is the goddess of victory and the source of inspiration  for  soldiers. This  
logo represents the wing in the famous statue of the Greek goddess. Nike's logo was designed by
Carolyn Davidson in 1971 for $35, and was registered as a trademark in 1995.
     McDonald's
     The logo was designed in 1962 by Jim Schindler  to  resemble  the  archshaped  signs  on  the  side
  of  the company's then walkup hamburger stand. Later on, the two golden arches were combined
together to form the M. The McDonald's name was added to the logo in 1968.
     Apple
     There  are  different  stories  behind Apple's logo. The first logo was a reference to the religious
story of Adam and Eve, in which the apple represented the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. One year
later, the second logo was designed in 1977 by Steve Jobs and Ronald Wayne, and it described Sir
Isaac Newton sitting under an apple tree. This logo didn't stay long. One year later it was replaced
almost immediately by graphic designer Rob Janoff's "rainbow apple", a rainbowcolored silhouette(輪廓)
of an  apple with a bite taken out of it. And then the rainbowcolored apple was replaced by the
onecolored logo in 1998. It has not been changed so far.
     Mercedes Benz
     The Mercedes Benz logo, which was originally created by Gottlieb Daimler in 1909, consists of a
simple description of a threepointed star that represents its rule of the land, the sea and the air. The
company was founded by Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach. Marcedes is the name of Maybach's
elder daughter, while Benz came as a result of a combination with Benz, Cie. and DMG in 1926.
     Adidas
     The  Adidas  logo, which  was created by the founder of the company Adi Dassler, represents
mountains, pointing towards the challenges that are seen ahead and goals that can be achieved. The logo
was used for the first time in 1967.

1. What does the author think of the stories of the great logos?

A. They are boring.
B. They are out of date.
C. They are attractive.
D. They are practical.

2. What does Nike's logo stand for?

A. The goddess of victory.
B. The source of inspiration for soldiers.
C. The statue of the Greek goddess.
D. The wing of the Greek goddess.

3. We can learn that Apple's present logo is ________.

A. the religious story of Adam and Eve
B. a bitten apple with only one color
C. Newton's sitting under an apple tree
D. the rainbowcolored bitten apple

4. Which of the following time orders describes the births of the great logos?

A. Mercedes Benz-McDonald's-Nike-Apple
B. Nike-McDonald's-Apple-Mercedes Benz
C. McDonald's-Apple-Nike-Mercedes Benz
D. Nike-Mercedes Benz-McDonald's-Apple
