The University of Washington
The University of Washington,commonly referred to as simply Washington or UW,is a public research university based in Seattle,Washington,United States.Washington is one of the oldest universities on the West Coast and features one of the most highly regarded medical schools in the world.It has three campuses:the oldest and largest in the University District of Seattle and two others in Tacoma and Bothell.
In 1861, scouting began for an appropriate 10 acre site in Seattle to serve as the campus for a new university. Arthur and Mary Denny donated eight acres, and fellow pioneers Edward Lander and Charlie and Mary Terry donated two acres to the university at a site on Denny's Knoll in downtown Seattle.
The University of Washington opened officially on November 4, 1861. The school struggled at first,closing three times:in 1863 for lack of students,and again in 1867 and 1876 due to shortage of funds.However, Clara Wilt became the first graduate of UW in 1876 when she graduated with a bachelor's degree in science. By the time Washington entered the Union in 1889,both Seattle and the university had grown rapidly. A special committee headed by UW graduate Edmond Meany was created for the purpose of finding a new campus better able to serve the growing student population. The committee selected a site on Union Bay northeast of downtown. The university moved from downtown to the new campus in 1895.
The university opened campuses in Bothell and Tacoma in 1990. At first,the two campuses offered curricula for students seeking bachelor's degrees who have already completed two years of higher education,but both schools have turned to four year universities,accepting the first freshman class in the fall of 2006. Both campuses offer master's degree programs as well. In 2009 the university opened an office in the Spanish city of León in collaboration with the local university.

A.On Denny's Knoll. B.On Union Bay. C.In Bothell. D.In Tacoma.
6.Why did the University of Washington have to move to a new campus in 1895
A.Because of lack of students.
B.Because of shortage of funds.
C.Because of growing student population.
D.Because of Seattle growing too rapidly.

Terrie Mitchell, 34, from Sheffield, received an unexpected present when she was finally reunited with her beloved cat-11 years after she first went missing. Chloe,who only has one eye,was discovered living in an overturned wheelie bin just a few streets away from where she was last seen.
Chloe was first brought into her family home as a kitten,when Ms. Mitchell was aged 21 and still living at home with her mum, Jean. When she moved out with her partner,she let the long haired black cat stay in the house she was used to. But when Ms. Mitchell's mother died unexpectedly at the age of 60, Chloe disappeared and could not be found anywhere.
Despite searching for her,she all but gave up hope of ever seeing her cat again until she spotted a Facebook post featuring the long haired cat. Postwoman Andrea Hurst had been delivering a parcel to an elderly lady,when she spotted the cat living in the wheelie bin. On her next round,she asked about the cat and was told she had been staying there for more than six years as the woman had been feeding her. The kindly woman asked a local cat shelter to collect Chloe,before using the social media site to locate the original owners. She wrote,“This is probably a long shot,but does anyone recognize this beautiful cat?”
Ms. Mitchell noticed the post by chance and commented,“Omg, this is my cat!!!!! I can't stop shaking!!!!! Her name is Chloe!!! Please whoever knows contact me...”
The vet,who confirmed Chloe was more than 10 years old,told her owner it was nothing short of a miracle. Today Chloe is settling in well at her new home and even responds to her original name. Her delighted owner added,“Now I feel guilty that I didn't search for her better,because she was obviously around.It could give hope to people who haven't seen their pets for years.”

Why do Americans struggle with watching their weight, while the French, who consume (消费) rich food, continue to stay thin Now a research by Cornell University suggests how life style and decisions about eating may affect weight.Researchers concluded that the French tend to stop eating when they feel full.However, Americans tend to stop when their plate is empty or their favorite TV show is over.
According to Dr.Joseph Mercola, a health expert, the French see eating as an important part of their life style.They enjoy food and therefore spend a fairly long time at the table, while Americans see eating as something to be squeezed between the other daily activities. Mercola believes Americans lose the ability to sense when they are actually full. So they keep eating long after the French would have stopped. In addition, he points out that Americans drive to huge supermarkets to buy canned and frozen foods for the week. The French, instead, tend to shop daily, walking to small shops and farmers' markets where they have a choice of fresh fruits, vegetables, and eggs as well as high-quality meats for each meal.
After a visit to the United States, Mireille Guiliano, author of French Women Don't Get Fat, decided to write about the importance of knowing when to stop rather than suggesting how to avoid food. Today she continues to stay slim and rarely goes to the gym.
In spite of all these differences, evidence shows that recent life style changes may be affecting French eating habits.Today the rate of obesity, or extreme overweight, among adults is only 6%. However, as American fast food gains acceptance and the young reject older traditions, the obesity rate among French children has reached 17% and is growing.
In what way are the French different from Americans according to Dr.Joseph Mercola
A.They go shopping at supermarkets more frequently.
B.They squeeze eating between the other daily activities.
C.They regard eating as a key part of their life styles.
D.They usually eat too much canned and frozen food.
13. This text is mainly the relationship between ________.
A.Americans and the French B.life style and obesity (肥胖)
C.children and adults D.fast food and overweight
14. The text is mainly developed ________.
A.by contrast (对比) B.by space C.by process D.by classification
15. Where does this text probably come from
A.A TV interview. B.A food advertisement.
C.A health report. D.A book review.

What Can Children Teach Their Parents

书面表达:
Dear Mayor,
I'm writing to give some suggestions to improve our city's transportation.
At present, traffic jams have become a major problem faced by most people of our city every day. The number of private cars has been increasing. What's more, some drivers disobey traffic rules, causing traffic chaos. All this often results in traffic jams.
In my opinion, measures must be taken to solve this problem. First, the government should encourage people to use public transport more and at the same time limit private cars. Second, more lanes and parking lots should be built. Third, it's important to educate the public to obey traffic rules.
I would appreciate it if you could take my suggestions into consideration. I'm looking forward to your reply.
Yours ,
Li Hua
