A
Fifty-three years ago Barbie Millicent Roberts first appeared in the world of toys. Since then, Barbie doll, as everyone called her, has become the most successful toy doll in history. Her parent, the Mattel Company, said that 90% of all American girls between 3 and 10 have at least one Barbie at home.
However, Barbie is facing some trouble at present(现在). There are many similar dolls on the market in competition with her. Another doll named Bratz, for example, came to life thirteen years ago. She looks more like today’s pop stars with heavy makeup(浓妆) and miniskirts. And her company offers more kinds of clothes too.
It seems that Barbie has lost her magic among older girls. “For younger girls, playing with a Barbie is much fun. But when you get older, you want something smarter and more modern,” says Vera Shepherd, a shop assistant in a New York toy store.
It is good news that on the international market, Barbie is still No.1. Although Mattel is selling fewer Barbies in the United States these years, sales in other countries are still going up. In January 2009, Mattel opened its first Barbie store in Shanghai, where girls can shop, eat, drink or even become fashion designers for their own Barbies.
Mattel is planning big celebrations for Barbie’s 53rd birthday. Fashion designers from all over the world have been called to make new dresses for Barbie. How long will Barbie stay popular in the world of toy dolls It is hard to say, but 53 is surely not the age to retire(退休).

Every morning my father buys a newspaper on his way to work. Every evening my mother looks through magazines at home. And every night, I look at the posters with photos of David Beckham and Yao Ming on my bedroom wall before I go to sleep. Can we imagine life without paper or print
Paper was first created about 2,000 years ago, and has been made from silk, cotton, bamboo, and, since the 19th century, from wood. People learned to write words on paper to make a book. But in those days, books could only be produced one at a time by hand. As a result, they were expensive and rare. And because there weren’t many books, few people learned to read.
Then printing was invented in China. When printing was developed greatly at the beginning of the 11th century, books could be produced more quickly and cheaply. As a result, more people learned to read. After that, knowledge and ideas spread quickly.
Today information can be received online, downloaded from the Internet rather than found in books, and information can be kept on CD-ROMs or machines such as MP3 players.
Computers are already used in classrooms, and newspapers and magazines can already be read online. So will books be replaced by computers one day No, I don’t think the Yao Ming poster on my bedroom wall will ever be replaced by a two-metre-high computer!

A. People didn’t want to buy books. B. Printing was invented in China.

二、阅读理解。
A
There was once a bat(蝙蝠). He wanted a comfortable life very much. One day, he looked through a window and saw a bird in its cage( 笼子). It was given food and water without doing anything at all, so the bat decided to become a child’s pet.
He flew to a park to make himself be seen by some children. However, the children paid little attention( 注意) to him because he was a bat. So he acted like a bird and learned to sing from birds. One afternoon, he met a little boy who wore a pair of
glasses. Then he became the pet of the boy.
The bat was happy in his warm and comfortable cage. There he felt like the best of all bats, and the cleverest. Suddenly he started feeling hungry, but there were no insects for him to eat. There was only bird food, and he’d rather die than eat the bird food.
Some days later, the bat succeeded in escaping from the cage and returned home. He was so embarrassed tha t he didn’t tell anyone what had happened. After that, he became a very hard-working bat because he knew the comfortable life should be made by himself.

One such memory is about a phone call I received when I was about three or four years old. My mother had taken part in a contest(竞赛) on a radio show. C ontestants were to tell an interesting story about their kids. The winner would receive a phone call from Mrs Santa Claus and Mrs Santa Claus would give the lucky kid a prize. Well, the call came. My mother handed the phone to me. I didn’t know tha t thousands of people were listening to our conversation, and I even didn’t know that my mother had told them that I had painted a wall with crayons(蜡笔). I only knew that this was not a good thing to Santa Claus.
Suddenly, Mrs Santa Claus asked me ab out my art work. I threw down the phone and ran out of the room with tears. “Santa will surely know that I am a bad kid.” I thought. But finally, I still got a nice gift from Mrs Santa Claus. And I didn’t think she found out about the wall.

三、【范文】
Dear Ann,
How are you doing I would like to introduce a Chinese traditional skill to you. It is paper cutting.
Paper cutting has a long history. It can date back to 2,000 years ago. Many people like it, especially elderly people.
Paper cuttings are made widely in the northern part of China. People in that area do well in making paper cuttings. They cut paper into different shapes, like plants, animals, or the Chinese characters for health or good luck. People usually put them on doors or windows when they celebrate the Spring Festival, weddings and so on.
Welcome to China and I hope you want to learn how to make paper cuttings.
Yours, Lingling
