13. Personally, I am not much of a collector. I collect photos of special times in my life, and I
have a big collection of soft toys-rabbits, bears, elephants, dogs and snakes. I love them!
Most people collect things at some time in their life. Who hasn't got a collection of
photos, or books Many people collect the letters or emails from friends. And most children
have a good toy collection. Most people don't think of themselves as "collectors" because they
think that having a lot of photos or toys is part of life. However, some people love collecting
things as a hobby, and you can collect anything, from stamps to toys to football match
programmes to old photos. In fact, some people have unusual collections.
For example, Robert Opie collects things we usually throw away, things like old
newspapers, sweet papers and boxes. He has more than a quarter of a million things in his
collection.
When Stuart Graham from Sydney, Australia died aged 87, he left behind some unusual
collections. His son Andy only discovered Stuart was a keen collector when he found a
collection of over 5, 000 old bus tickets, 3, 000 old matchboxes and 1, 000 toy soldiers. Andy
did not want to keep these collections and decided to look on the Internet to see if anyone else
would like the collections. He was surprised to find out that his father's collections were very
valuable. After he sold them, he bought a new car with the money.
Collectors collect things in different ways. You can go to specialist shops or markets to buy
things for your collection, or you can buy collectors' magazines. You can even look on the
Internet at sites like Ebay. Or you can trade things you have for something else that you would
like. For example, if you have two stamps that are exactly the same, you might be able to trade
one of them for a different one that you prefer.

14. The Beatles were one of the most successful and influential pop-music groups of the
1960s. The members include rhythm guitarist Lennon, bass guitarist McCartney, lead guitarist
Harrison, and drummer Starr.
Lennon formed a band in Liverpool, England, while in high school in the mid-1950s.
McCartney and then Harrison joined the group in the late 1950s. In its early years, the band
also had several other members. In 1962, they signed a recording contract （合同）with a large
music company. At about this time, they chose Starr to replace （替代）drummer Pete Best.
At first, the Beatles' songs were lively and simple. The first song was Love Me Do in 1962.
Their first hit came the following year, when Please Please Me climbed to the top of the British
music charts （排行榜）.
The Beatles became very famous in Britain. People started calling the excitement over the
band Beatlemania. The Beatles became very popular in the United States after appearing on
Ed Sullivan's television program in February, 1964. Teenage girls across the country screamed
and fainted over them, and boys copied the Beatles' look. By April, the top five hits in the United
States were all Beatles, songs.
In the late 1960s, the Beatles began creating more adventurous music with different
musical styles. The band recorded the albums The Beatles （1968）, Abbey Road （1969）,
and Let it Be （1970）.
The pressure of fame led the Beatles to break up in 1970. All four continued their musical
careers-Lennon with his wife, Yoko Ono; McCartney with band Wings and later as a solo
performer; and Starr and Harrison mainly as solo artists.

15. Imagine the situation. You are driving alone on a mountain. You have no idea where you
are. You passed the last house two hours ago. Then your car breaks down. It is night and it is
cold. You have no mobile phone. What do you do Well, next time take a GPS with you. This
device （装置） may be able to help you. It uses satellites to find the users' position. It can find
your position within 20 metres. A GPS cannot start your car, but at least you will know where
you are.
The GPS （the Global Positioning System） is a small radio receiver. It looks like a mobile
phone. You can hold it in your hand, or put it in your pocket. It is sometimes put into a watch or
a telephone. We also find GPS devices in cars, planes or boats. Some of these devices have
electronic maps, so you know where you are. For example, they can tell you the name of the
street in a city.
There are three parts of the Global Positioning System. The first part is the receiver. You
can hold it in your hand or fix it into your car, plane, etc. The second part is a group of satellites
orbiting （ 绕 …… 轨 道 运 行 ） the Earth. The third part of the system is a network of ground
stations. They are all over the world. They control the satellites and make sure they are working
well.
Some people think that in the future the GPS will be as common as the mobile phone. They
are becoming cheaper and better. There are also new uses for the GPS. Perhaps they will
become like watches. Everyone will have one and you will never be lost again.

C. the introduction of the GPS D. the three parts of the GPS
（ 5 ）How does the writer feel about the future of the GPS
A. Confident. B. Surprised. C. Sorry. D. Worried.

Marco Polo got the recipe（食谱） from China in 1295. There is very little cream in ice creams
