Jackie is perhaps the most easily annoyed koala(考拉) at the Featherdale Wildlife Park in southern Australia. All the koalas there are unhappy and complaining. You would be too if you were used to might activities and someone kept waking you up all day while you were trying to sleep it off. That’s right―sleep it off. The average koala is always half asleep because it feeds on the leaves of a special kind that make it sleepy.

     The reason Jackie and her fellow koalas are repeatedly awoken from their deep sleep is so they can be hugged and photographed by tourists, who make the trips to Featherdale and an increasing number of other national parks for just that special experience. Whatever department in the Aussie government in charge of such things is now moving to make the practice illegal, which is understandable. How would you react, my friend, if you were trying to sleep off a dozen times and some round, furry creatures smelling of grass kept waking you?  *考拉即樹袋熊

The swinging rhythms of the text and the good humor evident in the illustrations remain fun for the youngest readers.

    A few years ago I had an“aha!”moment regarding handwriting．

    I had in my hand a sheet of paper with handwritten instructions on it for some sort of editorial task．It occurred at first that I did not recognize the handwriting，and then I realized whose it must be．I finally became aware of the fact that I had been working with this colleague for at least a year，maybe two，and yet I did not recognize her handwriting at that point．

    It was a very important event in the computerization of life―a sign that the informal．friendly communication of people working together in an office had changed from notes in pen to instant messages and emails．There was a time when our workdays were filled with little letters，and we recognized one another's handwriting the way we knew voices or faces．

    As a child visiting my father’s office，I was pleased to recognize，in little notes on the desks of his staff，the same handwriting I would see at home in the notes he would leave on the fridge― except that those notes were signed“dad”instead of“RFW”．

    All this has been on my mind because of the talk about The Rise and Fall of Handwriting，a book by Florey．She shows in her book a deep concern about the fall of handwriting and the failure of schools to teach children to write well，but many others argue that people in a digital age can’t be expected to learn to hold a pen．

    I don’t buy it．

    I don’t want to see anyone cut off from the expressive，personal associations that a pen still promotes better than a digital keyboard does．For many a biographer，part of really getting to know their subjects is learning to read their handwriting．

    What some people advocate is teaching one of the many attractive handwritings based on the handwriting of 16th―century Italy．That may sound impossibly grand―as if they want kids to learn to draw by copying classical paintings．However，they have worked in many school systems．

51．Why was the author surprised at not recognizing his colleague’s handwriting?

    A．He had worked with his colleague long enough．

    B．His colleague’s handwriting was so beautiful．

    C．His colleague’s handwriting was so terrible．

    D．He still had a lot of work to do．

52．People working together in an office used to ____________．

    A．talk more about handwriting

    B．take more notes on workdays

    C．know better one another's handwriting

    D．communicate better with one another

53．The author’s father wrote notes in pen _________．

    A．to both his family and his staff

    B．to his family in small letters

    C．to his family on the fridge

    D．to his staff on the desk

54．According to the author，handwritten notes _______．

    A．a(chǎn)re harder to teach in schools

    B．a(chǎn)ttract more attention

    C．a(chǎn)re used only between friends

    D．carry more message

55．We can learn from the passage that the author __________．

    A．thinks it impossible to teach handwriting

    B．does not want to lose handwriting

    C．puts the blame on the computer

    D．does not agree with Florey

    We once had a poster competition in our fifth grade art class．

    “You could win prizes，”our teacher told us as she wrote the poster information on the blackboard．She passed out sheets of construction paper while continuing，“The first prize is ten dollars．You just have to make sure that the words on the blackboard appear somewhere on your poster．”

    We studied the board critically．Some of us looked with one eye and held up certain colors against the blackboard，rocking the sheets to the right or left while we conjured up our designs．Others twisted their hair around their fingers or chewed their erasers while deep in thought．We had plans for that ten-dollar grand prize, each and every one of us．I'm going to spend mine on candies，one hopeful would announce，while another practiced looking serious，wise and rich．

    Everyone in the class made a poster．Some of us used parts of those fancy paper napkins, while others used nothing but colored construction paper．Some of US used big designs，and some of us preferred to gather our art tidily down in one comer of our poster and let the space draw the viewer's attention to it．Some of US would wander past the good students’ desks and then return to our own projects with a growing sense of hopelessness．It was yet another grown-up trick of the sort they seemed especially fond of, making all of us believe we had a fair chance, and then always―    always--rewarding the same old winners．

    I believe I drew a sailboat，but I can’t say that with any certainty. I made it．I admired it．I determined it to be the very best of all of the posters I had seen，and then I turned it in．

    Minutes passed．

    No one came along to give me the grand prize，and then someone distracted me，and I probably never would have thought about that poster again．

    I was still sitting at my desk，thinking. What poster? when the teacher gave me an envelope with a ten-dollar bill in it and everyone in the class applauded for me．

46．What was the teacher's requirement for the poster?

    A．It must appear in time．

    B．It must be done in class．

    C．It must be done on a construction sheet．

    D．It must include the words on the blackboard．

47．The underlined phrase in paragraph 3 most probably means _____________．

    A．formed an idea for

    B．made an outline for

    C．made some space for

    D．chose some colors for

48．After the teacher’s words，all the students in the class _________．

    A．looked very serious

    B．thought they would be rich

    C．began to think about their designs

    D．began to play games

49．After seeing the good students’ designs, some students _________．

    A．loved their own designs more

    B．thought they had a fair chance

    C．put their own designs in a comer

    D．thought they would not win the prize

50．We can infer from the passage that the author ______________．

    A．enjoyed grown―up tricks very much

    B．10ved poster competitions very much

    C．felt surprised to win the competition

    D．became wise and rich after the competition

    Lisa was running late．Lisa，25，had a lot to do at work，plus visitors on the way：her parents were coming in for Thanksgiving from her hometown．But as she hurried down the subway stairs，she started to feel uncomfortably warm．By the time she got to the platform，Lisa felt weak and tired--maybe it hadn’t been a good idea to give blood the night before，she thought．She rested herself against a post close to the tracks．

    Several yards away，F(xiàn)rank，43，and his girlfriend，Jennifer，found a spot close to where the front of the train would stop．They were deep in discussion about a house they were thinking of buying．

    But when he heard the scream，followed by someone yelling，“Oh，my God，she fell in!”Frank didn’t hesitate．He jumped down to the tracks and ran some 40 feet toward the body lying on the rails．“No! Not you!”his girlfriend screamed after him．

    She was right to be alarmed．By the time Frank reached Lisa，he could feel the tracks shaking and see the light coming．The train was about 20 seconds from the station．

    It was hard to lift her．She was just out．But he managed to raise her the four feet to the platform so that bystanders could hold her by the arms and drag her away from the edge．That was where Lisa briefly regained consciousness，felt herself being pulled along the ground，and saw someone else holding her purse．

    Lisa thought she’d been robbed．A woman held her hand and a man gave his shirt to help stop the blood pouring from her head．And she tried to talk but she couldn’t，and that was when she realized how much pain she was in．

    Police and fire officials soon arrived，and Frank told the story to an officer．Jennifer said her boyfriend was calm on their 40-minute train ride downtown---just as he had been seconds after the rescue，which made her think about her reaction at the time．“I saw the train coming and I was thinking he was going to die，”she explained．

41．What was the most probable cause for Lisa’s weakness?

    A．She had run a long way．

    B．She felt hot in the subway．

    C．She had done a lot of work．

    D．She had donated blood the night before．

42．Why did Jennifer try to stop her boyfriend?

    A．Because they would miss their train．

    B．Because he didn’t see the train coming．

    C．Because she was sure Lisa was hard to lift．

    D．Because she was afraid the train would kill him．

43．How did Frank save Lisa?

    A．By lifting her to the platform．

    B．By helping her rise to her feet．

    C．By pulling her along the ground．

    D．By dragging her away from the edge．

44．When did Lisa become conscious again?

    A．When the train was leaving．

    B．After she was back on the platform．

    C．After the police and fire officials came．

    D．When a man was cleaning the blood from her head．

45．The passage is intended to _____________

    B．show US how to save people in the subway

    C．tell US about a subway rescue

    D．report a traffic accident

[1] Hello. It’s one of the first words we learn as babies, yet it’s one of the last ones we think to use as adults. That’s unfortunate, because saying hello is more than just saying hello―it is recognition of another’s worth. How might the world change―how might we change―if we mastered this word? To find out, I spent one month saying hello to every person I met. Here’s what I’ve learned.    

[2] It can boost （促進） productivity. In one of the few studies ever done on this subject, Allan Allday, an assistant professor of special education at Oklahoma State University, had middle school teachers greet their students individually each morning. This exchange of greetings raised the kids’ productivity. School went from impersonal to personal, and that resulted in more class participation and better grades.    

[3] Environments influence friendliness, One study found that people in the city were kiss likely to one hands with a stranger than those in the countryside. And researchers say, pleasure environments generally encourage more smiles and hellos than unpleasant ones. My experience was similarly. Whatever the reason, my urban hellos were answered far less often than my rural one. Similarly, people in vacation spots, like the Jersey Shore, were far friendlier than those hurrying work downtown.    

[4] It’s a form of universal health insurance. It’s impossible to say hello without smiling. And smiling has been shown to lower blood pressure, relieve stress and boost happiness. Apparently, a smile creates a similar effect in the recipient （接受者）。   

[5] So maybe we can make the world a better place by____________. After a month of doing it. I feel lighter and more connected and I have a better sense of well-being.

An increase in students applying to study economics at university is being attributed to （歸因于）the global economic crisis awakening a public thirst for knowledge about how the financial system works.    

Applications for degree courses beginning this autumn were up by 15% this January, according to UCAS, the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service. A. spokesman for the Royal Economic Society said applications to do economics at A-level were also up.    

Professor john Beath, the president of the society and a leading lecture at St Andrews University, said his first-year lectures-which are open to students from all departments―were drawing crowds of 400, rather than the usual 250.    

“There are a large number of students who are not economics majors, who would like to learn something about it. One of the things I have done this year is to relate my teaching to contemporary events in a way that one hasn’t traditionally done. ” He added.     

University applications rose 7% last year. But there were rises above average in several subjects. Nursing saw a 15% jump, with people’s renewed interest in caters in the pubic sector（部門）, which are seen as more secure in economic crisis.

Zack Hocking, the head of Child Trust Funds, said: “It’s possible that one good thing to arise from the downturn will be a generation that’s financially wiser and better equipped to manage their money through times of economic uncertainty.”
