     I am not really much of a diet fan, my weight has never been an issue. I eat whatever I want, when I
want. But as Pamela McDonald explains diet is not merely a method for controlling weight, but has a
significant influence on health and quality of life.
     I can hardly imagine that living on fried bacon would be a good way to lose weight and promote good
overall health. Likewise a steady diet of cabbage soup would likely become somewhat monotonous(單調(diào)乏味的) after a couple of days.
     Pamela McDonald takes a different approach, there is no one-size-fits-all diet, different people need
different things. Although all humans are intrinsically(本質(zhì)地) composed of the same material, the building blocks, our genes, are subtlety different.
     The author maintains that one particular part of a person's DNA, something called the APO E gene,
has much to do with how our body tolerates foods of different types. This gene comes in 8 varieties and
depending on the variety the food requirements are different. This has little to do with weight loss, and has more to do with overall good health. Weight gain is not a 'problem' but rather a symptom. A diet alone
will not resolve the entire problem, it is merely one part of the larger picture.
     I have to admit that parts of The APO E Gene Diet were a little heavy going, I appreciate that the
author felt the requirement to back up her claims with some scientific data, but for the lay(外行的) man
it makes for some rather difficult reading.
     The second half of the book, is recipes, now this is something I do understand! She has created some
very innovative dishes, and certainly more than one that had me feeling hungry just reading them. My
favorite of them is a very traditional English dish the Cornish Pasty.
     An interesting book and one that people should read, you can get your copy from Amazon. 
1. What's the writing purpose of the passage?
A.To help readers realize the importance of diets.
B.To share her reviews of a book about diets.
C.To advertise for the Amazon online bookstore.
D.To introduce a new way of losing weight.
2. What can we learn from Pamela McDonald's book?
A. Different people need different foods to keep fit.
B. Humans are completely made up of the same genes.
C. Different APO E gene decides if you are healthy.
D. Diets alone can successfully help fat people lose weight.
3. What's the shortage of Pamela McDonald's book?
A. It advises people to eat some repeated diets every day to keep slim.
B. It supports its arguments with convincing scientific explanation.
C. Parts of it are difficult for common readers to understand well.
D. It is a heavy book that is too long for many readers to finish.
4. What CANNOT we infer from the passage?
A. What food we need is decided by the environment we're brought up.
B. Gaining weight indicates there may be something wrong with your health.
C. The writer is deeply attracted by the dishes introduced in the book.
D. You can learn how to make the Cornish Pasty from the book.
5. We can use the following words to describe Pamela McDonald's book EXCEPT____________?
A. interesting      
B. innovative        
C. persuasive      
D. humourous

     Since the beginning of winter break, I have been committed to doing lots of the things I could not do
while school was in session.
     One of the Oscar-nominated (提名的) movies I’ve seen this winter break is Slum-dog Millionaire.
Hopefully readers will also have an opportunity to enjoy the movie the way I have halfway around the
globe!
     Slum-dog Millionaire is about a poor boy from the slums (貧民窟), Jamal, who ends up winning the
grand prize in an Indian show "Who Wants to be a Millionaire". The night before he answers the
prize-winning question, Jamal is captured by the police and tortured (拷打). They don’t believe a
slumdog like Jamal could answer seven questions correctly and possibly win 20 million rupees (盧比)!
But, as the movie unfolds, Jamal reveals (透露) how he found the answers to each of the questions.
Viewers also learn about Jamal's childhood, his selfish older brother Salim, and his childhood lover,
Latika.
     The movie’s point, however, is not just to tell a typical story of the underdog (弱者) who becomes a
hero. The director also uses Slum-Dog Millionaire to give viewers a taste of India. The movie begins in
Jamal’s childhood home in the slums of India. The place where he and his family lived reminds one of the
hutongs that used to make up a large part of Old Beijing. Jamal and his brother grow and travel across
India, meanwhile surviving as slum-dogs and cheaters, and India ages with them. By the time Jamal is 17
or 18, his old home has been replaced by a giant skyscraper (摩天大樓) financial center. Jamal and
Salim take a moment to reminisce (回憶) about their old lives, as they stand high up in a skyscraper that
is still under construction. The view from above reminded me of a similar view I had just two years ago in China: I was standing there in the living room of a family friend’s modern apartment, looking out through
a window down to the shacks (簡(jiǎn)陋的房屋) below just next to the building complex. It was amazing
how affluence and poverty could live so close together.
     So, what was most appealing about the movie to me and my Indian friends was how we could relate
to the scenarios (情節(jié)) presented in the movie. More important than the plot was the window onto the
social and economic situations in Asia that it provided.
     By Jennifer, 16, New Jersey, US
1. Which of the following is TRUE about the movie?
A. Jamal finally won a big prize after struggling hard to earn an honest living.
B. Suspected of cheating, Jamal was arrested by the police before winning the prize.
C. Jamal and his brother recalled their past standing where it used to be their home.
D. Jamal remained in his childhood home in the slums before he was 17 or 18.
2. Viewers can learn from the movie EXCEPT__________.
A. Jamal's childhood and his bitter experience of wandering across the country.
B. The rapid social changes and economic development in India.
C. The poor life of people in the slums against the prosperity of cities in Asia.
D. The secret of becoming a millionaire through personal struggle.
3. Why does the movie appeal to the writer?
A. It's a typical story of the underdog who becomes a hero, which the writer admires most.
B. It's an Oscar-nominated movie that helps the writer understand the nature of human.
C. It has an exciting and complicated plot that attracts the writer very much.
D. It reminds the writer of her experience in China and helps her know about Asian countries.
4. What can we infer from the reading passage?
A. The writer is now studying in a school in China.
B. The movie will win the Oscar because of the social problems presented in it.
C. The writer is surprised at the gap between the rich and poor in developing countries.
D. The movie is only welcomed by Americans who have Indian friends.
5. What is the main purpose of writing the passage?
A. To introduce a movie to readers and share her views about it.
B. To persuade more viewers to go to the cinema to see the movie.
C. To express the writer’s enthusiasm towards Asia and its culture.
D. To reveal the true social reality in the developing countries.

     It is hardly surprising that clothing manufacturers (生產(chǎn)商) follow certain uniform
standards for various features (特征) of clothes. What seems strange, however, is that the
standard adopted for women is the opposite of the one for men. Take a look at the way
your clothes button. Men's clothes tend to button from the right, and women's from the left.
Considering most of the world's population-men and women-are right-handed, the men's
standard would appear to make more sense for women. So why do women's clothes button
from the left?
     History really seems to matter here. Buttons first appeared only on the clothes of the rich
in the 17th century, when rich women were dressed by servants. For the mostly right-handed
servants, having women's shirts button from the left would be easier. On the other hand,
having men's shirt button from the right made sense, too. Most men dressed themselves,
and a sword drawn from the left with the right hand would be less likely to get caught in the
shirt.
     Today women are seldom dressed by servants, but buttoning from the left is still the
standard for them. Is it interesting? Actually, a standard, once set, resists change. At a time
when all women's shirts buttoned from the left, it would have been risky for any single
manufacturer to offer women's shirts that buttoned from the right. After all, women had
grown so used to shirts which buttoned from the left and would have to develop new habits
and skills to switch. Besides, some women might have found it socially awkward to appear
in public wearing shirts that buttoned from the right, since any one who noticed that would
believe they were wearing men's shirts.
1. What is surprising about the standard of the clothing industry?_____
A. It has been followed by the industry for over 400 years.
B. It is different for men's clothing and women's.
C. It works better with men than with women.
D. It fails to consider right-handed people.
2. Women's clothes still button from the left today because._____
A. adopting men's style is improper for women
B. manufacturers should follow standards
C. modern women dress themselves
D. customs are hard to change
3. The passage is mainly developed by_______.
A. analyzing causes
B. making comparisons
C. examining differences
D. following the time order

     Tea drinking was common in China for nearly one thousand years before anyone in Europe
had ever heard about tea．People in Britain were much slower in finding out what tea was like,
mainly because tea was very expensive. It could not be bought in shops and even those people
who could afford to have it sent from Holland did so only because it was a fashionable curiosity.
Some of them were not sure how to use it. They thought it was a vegetable and tried cooking
the leaves. Then they served them mixed with butter and salt. They soon discovered their
mistake but many people used to spread the used tea leaves on bread and give them to their
children as sandwiches.
     Tea remained scarce (缺少的) and very expensive in England until the ships of the East
India Company began to bring it direct from China early in the seventeenth century. During
the next few years so much tea came into the country that the price fell and many people could
afford to buy it.
     At the same time people on the Continent were becoming more and more fond of tea．
Until then tea had been drunk without milk in it, but one day a famous French lady named
Madame de Sevigne decided to see what tea tasted like when milk was added．She found
it so pleasant that she would never again drink it without milk. Because she was such a great
lady her friends thought they must copy everything she did, so they also drank their tea with
milk in it. Slowly this habit spread until it reached England and today only very few Britons
drink tea without milk.
     At first, tea was usually drunk after dinner in the evening. No one ever thought of drinking
tea in the afternoon until a duchess (公爵夫人) found that a cup of tea and a piece of cake
at three or four o'clock stopped her getting "a sinking feeling" as she called it. She invited her
friends to have this new meal with her and so tea-time was born.
1．Which of the following is true of the introduction of tea into Britain?_____
A. The Britons got expensive tea from India.
B. Tea reached Britain from Holland.
C．The Britons were the first people in Europe who drank tea.
D．It was not until the 17th century that the Britons had tea.
2．This passage mainly discusses______.
A．the history of tea drinking in Britain
B．how tea became a popular drink in Britain
C．how the Britons got the habit of drinking tea
D．how tea-time was born
3.Tea became a popular drink in Britain.______
A．in eighteenth century
B．in sixteenth century
C．in seventeenth century
D．in the late seventeenth century
4．People in Europe began to drink tea with milk because._____
A．it tasted like milk
B．it tasted more pleasant
C．it became a popular drink
D．Madame de Sevinge was such a lady with great social influence that people tried to
copy the way she drank tea
5．We may infer from the passage that the habit of drinking tea in Britain was mostly due
to the influence of_______.
A．a(chǎn) famous French lady
B．the ancient Chinese
C．the upper social class

    People in the United States honor their parents with 2 special days: Mother's Day on the
second Sunday in May and Father's Day on the 3rd Sunday in June. These days are 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 an opportunity to think about the changing roles
of mothers and fathers. More mothers now work outside the home and more fathers must help
with childcare.
     These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On mother's Day, people
wear carnations. A red one symbolizes a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is
dead. Many people attend religious services to honor parents. It's also a day when people whose
parents are dead visit the cemetery(grave). On these days families get together at home as well
as in restaurants. They often have outdoor barbecue 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 more valued than those bought in stores. It's not the value of the
gift that is important, but "the thought that counts". Greeting card stores, florists, candy makers,
bakers, phone companies and other stores do lots of business during these holidays.
1.Which is NOT a reason for children to show love and respect for parents?_____
A. Parents bring up children.
B. Parents give love and care to children.
C. Parents educate children to be good persons.
D. Parents pass away before children grow up.
2.What do you know from the passage?_____
A. Both festivals are in May.
B. Fewer women worked outside the home in the past.
C. Not all the children respect their parents.

C. It's a kind of flower showing love and best wishes.
D. People can wear them only on the second Sunday in May.
4.On Mother's Day and Father's Day _____.
A. people sometimes have family parties B. everyone goes to the cemetery

     Britain almost more than any other country in the world must seriously face the
problem of building upwards, that is to say of accommodating(居住) a considerable
proportion of its population in high blocks of flats. It is said that the Englishman
objects to this type of existence, but if the case is such, he does in fact differ from
the inhabitants of most countries of the world today. In the past our own blocks or
flats have been associated with(把……同……聯(lián)系起來) the lower-income groups
and they have lacked the obvious provisions, such as central heating, constant hot
water supply, electrically operated lifts from top to bottom, and so on, as well as
such details, important notwithstanding(然而), as easy facilities for disposal(處理)
of dust and rubbish and storage places for baby carriages on the ground floor,
playgrounds for children on the top of the buildings, and drying grounds for washing.
It is likely that the dispute regarding flats versus individual houses will continue to
rage(風(fēng)行) on for a long time as far as Britain is concerned, and it is unfortunate
that there should be hot feelings on both sides whenever this subject is raised. Those
who oppose the building of flats base their case primarily on the assumption that
everyone prefers individual home and garden and on the high cost per unit of
accommodation. The latter ignores the higher cost of providing full services to a
scattered(分散)community and the cost in both money and time of the journey to
work for the suburban resident.
1. We can infer from the passage that ____.
A. English people, differently from most people in other countries, dislike
living in flats
B. people in most countries of the world today are not opposed to living in flats
C. people in Britain are forced to move into high blocks of flats
D. modern flats still fail to provide the necessary facilities for living
2. What is said about the blocks of flats built in the past in Britain?_____
A. They were mostly inhabited by people who did not earn much.
B. They were usually not large enough to accommodate big families.
C. They were sold to people before necessary facilities were installed.
D. They provided playgrounds for children on the top of the buildings.
3. Some people oppose the building of flats because ____.
A. this living expenses for each individual family are higher
B. it involves higher cost compared with the building of houses
C. they believe that people like to live in houses with gardens
D. the disposal of rubbish remains a problem for those who lives in flats
4. The author mentions that people who live in suburban houses ____.
A. do not have access to easy facilities because they live away from the city
B. have to pay a lot of money to employ people to do service work
C. take longer time to know each other because they are a scattered community
D. have to spend money and time going to work every day

     Since the beginning of human evolution(進(jìn)化), men have migrated(遷移)across continents
in search of food, shelter, safety, and comfortable weather. People still move for these reasons,
but new reasons for human migration are arising, such as job relocation(重新安置) and
overpopulation.
     Three million migrants are moving from poor countries to wealthier ones each year, and
increasingly, their destination is a neighboring country in developing parts of the world. People
are moving within the developing world for the same reasons as they migrate to wealthier nations.
People from poor countries are going to less poor countries, fleeing wars and conflicts(沖突).
They are also responding to population pressures because some countries are densely
populated(人口密集), and they often have high population growth. Those people need to
go somewhere else.
     There are three main reasons why people move. The basic categories and percentages
are as follows, according to the Current Population Surveys (CPS):
     Family-related reasons account for 26.3%, including changes in marital status(婚姻情形),
establishing a household and other family reasons; work-related reasons 16.2%, including job
transfer, retirement, and other job-related reasons; housing-related reasons 51.6%, including
new and better houses, better neighborhood, cheaper housing and other housing reasons;
the remaining 5.9% of other reasons are attending college, the change of climate and health
reasons.
     Americans have been migrating south and west for decades in search of better job
opportunities and warmer climates. They have also been moving to places a little far from
cities, in search of bigger yards and houses, lower crime rates and better schools. In 1950,
nearly a fifth of the population lived in the nation's 20 largest cities. In 2006, it was about one
in ten. That's why many American people say, "Big Cities Shrink as People Move South, West."
     Between March 2005 and March 2007, 73.4 million Americans moved. Fifty-six percent
of these moves were within the same country. Twenty percent were between counties but in
the same state. Nineteen percent were moves to a different state. Some families even went
abroad.
