Alice watched from her brother's New Orleans house as Hurricane Katrina split trees, broke windows, and swallowed cars, including her own. A few miles away, her best friend, Pat, also a nurse, was supervising patients in the high-risk hospital when the river banks broke. For the next six days, Pat and her crew lived there until a rescue boat picked them up.
Both of them were evacuated to safer parts of the States. Weeks later, they, like thousands of others, returned to find their homes uninhabitable, their jobs gone.
The following spring, as she was rebuilding her life, Alice contacted an information centre for returning residents. When asked if she would head a desperately needed clinic, Alice said she'd do it, but only with Pat. It took Pat less than five minutes to say yes. And after consulting with her children, she offered her damaged home as the new clinic.
As word spread, help poured in groups raised money and donated medical equipment, exam tables, free ductwork, other supplies and even labor. Bedrooms were transformed into exam rooms and Pat's living room into a waiting room.
On February 27, 2007, the clinic opened, with patients lined up around the block. Those who came in that first day were very sick with problems from not taking their medicine for a year after Katrina. Over 1,200 people have made their way to the clinic,whose decoration passes what Pat calls the mama test: “Would your mama feel comfortable here?” Until recently, it was the only health-care facility there. “It's a relief to have a clinic right here in the neighborhood where I can check my pressure,” says Latoya Owens, 30, who suffers from hypertension.
“This is the most rewarding thing I've ever done,” says Alice. Adds Pat, “I'm alleviating(减轻) some suffering in an underserved population. I listen to their stories, and I cry a lot. People outside New Orleans think things are back to normal here, but we are far from that.”

Could we “terraform” Mars—that is, change its frozen, thin-aired surface into something more friendly and Earthlike Should we The first question has a clear answer: Yes, we probably could. Spacecraft, including the ones now exploring Mars, have found evidence that it was warm in its youth, with rivers flowing into vast seas.And right here on Earth, we've learned how to warm a planet: just add greenhouse gases to its atmosphere. Much of the CO2 that once warmed Mars is probably still there, in frozen dirt and polar ice caps, and so is the water.
Most of the work in terraforming, says NASA scientist Chris Mackay, would be done by life itself. “You don't build Mars,” Mackay says. “You just warm it up and throw some seeds.” Powerful greenhouse gases could be produced from elements in dirt and air on Mars and blown into the atmosphere; by warming the planet, they would release the frozen CO2, which would quicken the warming and increase atmospheric pressure to the point where liquid water could flow. Meanwhile, says botanist James Graham of the University of Wisconsin, human settlers could seed the red rock with a succession(系列) of ecosystems, first bacteria and lichens(地衣), which survive in Antarctica, later mosses(苔藓), and after one thousand years or so, redwoods. Getting breathable oxygen levels out of those forests, though, could take thousands of years.
However, Mars is in no immediate danger. Some space scientists recently recommended going to the moon or an asteroid(小行星) first, and pointed out the space agency lacks the funds to go anywhere. It didn't estimate the cost of gardening a dead planet.
1. What is the most essential to make Mars fit for living
A.Turn ice into flowing water.
B. Clean the dirty atmosphere.
C. Make the atmosphere more suitable.
D. Go to the moon or an asteroid first.
2. What does the author think of the idea of terraforming Mars
A.We could do it.
B. We couldn't do it
C. We should do it.
D. We shouldn't do it.
3. In the botanist's opinion, man needs to ________.
A. enable Mars to clean its atmosphere
B. build a greenhouse on Mars
C. send some people to settle on Mars
D. cultivate ecosystems from lower to higher life form
4. What is the best title for the passage
A.Making Mars the New Earth.
B. A Good Way to Change the Universe.
C. Humans' Great Power.
D. Terrible Science and Technology.

She is widely seen as proof that good looks can last forever. But, at nearly 500 years of age, time is catching up with the Mona Lisa.
The health of the famous picture, painted by Leonardo da Vinci in 1505, is getting worse by the year, according to the Louvre Museum(卢浮宫博物馆) where it is housed.
“The thin, wooden panel on which the Mona Lisa is painted in oil has changed shape since experts checked it two years ago,” the museum said. Visitors have noticed the changes but repairing the world's most famous painting is not easy. Experts are not sure about the materials the Italian artist used and their current(现在的) chemical state.
Nearly 6 million people go to see the Mona Lisa every year, many attracted by the mystery of her smile. “It is very interesting that when you're not looking at her, she seems to be smiling,and then you look at her and she stops,” said Professor Margaret Livingstone of Harvard University. “It's because direct vision(视觉) is excellent at picking up detail, but less suited to looking at shadows. Da Vinci painted the smile in shadows.”
However, the actual history of the Mona Lisa is iust as mysterious as the smile. Da Vinci himself loved it so much that he always carried it with him, until it was eventually sold to France's King Francis I in 1519.
In 1911, the painting was stolen from the Louvre by a former employee, who took it out of the museum hidden under his coat.He said he planned to return it to Italy. The painting was sent back to France two years later.
During World War Ⅱ,French hid the painting in small towns to keep it out of the hands of German forces.
Like many old ladies, the Mona Lisa has some interesting stories to tell.
1.The underlined sentence in the first paragraph means the Mona Lisa _______.
A.is losing its value

B. they don't know how to replace the wooden panel

D. they are afraid it will do further damage
3.The smile of the Mona Lisa can only be seen ________.
A.by indirect vision B. at a distance
C. by direct vision D. in shadows
4.From the last paragraph, we can infer that ________.
A. many interesting stories have been written about the Mona Lisa
B. people are interested in the stories about the Mona Lisa
C. some mysteries remain to be solved about the Mona Lisa

Do you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive (欺骗) When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important information that should be included, he can give you a false picture.
For example, someone might say, “I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery(彩票). It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!”
This guy is a winner, right Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought $200 worth of tickets, and only one was a winner. He's really a big loser!
He didn't say anything that was false, but he left out important information on purpose. That's called a half-truth. Half truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.
Some politicians often use this trick. Let's say that during Governor Smith's last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she seeks another term. One of her opponents says, “During Governor Smith's term, the state lost one million jobs!” That's true. However, and honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smith's term, the state had a net_gain of two million jobs.”
Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths. It's against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead you with the truth. An advertisement might say, “Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache.” It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company.
This kind of deception happens too often. It's a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.
1. We may infer that the author believes people should ________.
A.buy lottery tickets if possible
B. make use of half-truths
C. not trust the Yucky Company
D. be careful about what they are told
2. Which of the following is true according to the passage
A. Using half truths is against the law.
B. Technically, half truths are in fact lies.
C. Governor Smith did a good job during her last term.
D. Yucky Pills is a very good medicine for toothache.
3. What do the underline words “net gain” in Paragraph 5 mean
A.final increase B. big advantage
C. large share D. total saving
4. What can we know from the example of the Yucky Pills advertisement
A. False statements are easy to see through.
B. Half-truths are often used to mislead people.
C. Doctors like to act in advertisements.
D. Advertisements are based on facts.

Recently I paid a visit to Harvard University, where there are top class scientists and professors and the best academic system in the world.
I was pretty shocked when I first stepped onto the campus. Well, it's not even really a campus. It's more like a district in a small town.
Harvard's main buildings are from the 18th century. They look very old and simple. You might even say they're a little shabby. They don't fit the modern idea of university at all. The buildings are surrounded by grass and trees, so I felt as if I had walked into a medieval castle.But when I looked across the street, busy shops and in-fashion students made me feel like I was in the 21st century again. It creates a strong contrast and brings a special atmosphere to the school.
Our tour guide Gary took us around and told us: “You see this grass field in the center of the school Here is where they host their graduation ceremony(毕业典礼). They just set up tents and benches and have a very simple ceremony.” Unbelievable! Who would think the most gifted students just graduate on the lawn
I saw some students put a blanket on the grass and lie down to read a book. When I listened to the soft sound of pages turning, along with chirping of the birds, I felt very calm. There was no competitive feeling at all.
Harvard has the world's first computer in its science center and there are hundreds of high-end computers too. Its religion and the literature departments are also among the best. It is the perfect mix of tradition and new technology. It makes Harvard a very attractive place to study in.
I hope one day I'll attend my dream school-Harvard.

B. There are no competitions at Harvard University.

My father had always been an alert(警觉的) observer of human character.Within seconds of meeting someone, he could sum up their strengths and weaknesses. It was always a challenge to see if any of my boyfriends could pass his test. None did. My father was always right—they didn't pass my test either. After he died, I wondered how I'd figure it out on my own.
That's when Jack arrived on the scene. He was different from any other guy I'd dated. He could sit for hours on the piano bench with my mother, discussing some composers. My brother Rick loudly announced that Jack wasn't a turkey like the other guys I'd brought home.Jack passed my family's test. But what about my father's
Then came my mother's birthday. The day he was supposed to drive, I got a call. “Don't worry,” he said, “but I've been in an accident. I'm fine, but I need you to pick me up.”
When I got there, we rushed to a flower shop for something for my mother. “How about gardenias?” Jack said, pointing at a beautiful white corsage(小花束). The florist put the corsage in a box.
The entire ride, Jack was unusually quiet. “Are you all right?” I asked. “I've been doing a lot of thinking,” he said. “I might be moving.” Moving Then he added, “Moving in with you.” I nearly put the car on the sidewalk. “What?” I asked. “I think we should get married,” he said. He told me he'd planned his proposal in a fancy restaurant, but after the accident, he decided to do it right away. “Yes,” I whispered. We both sat dumbfounded,tears running down our cheeks. I'd never known such a tender moment. If only my father were here to give his final approval.
“Oh, let's just go inside,” Jack laughed. My mother opened the door. “Happy Birthday!” we shouted. Jack handed the box to her. She opened it up. Suddenly, her eyes were filled with tears.“Mom, what's wrong?” I asked. “I'm sorry,” she said, wiping her eyes. “This is only the second gardenia corsage I've ever received. I was given one years ago, long before you kids were born.” “From who?” I asked. “Your father,” Mom said. “He gave me one right before we were engaged.” My eyes locked on Jack's as I blinked away tears(眨眼控制泪水). My father's test I knew Jack had passed.

In present-day China, we can find two types of fast food: Western and Chinese. However, not until the recent decade has Western fast food become popular in China. Before the first hamburger walked its way into the Chinese food market, we had little idea about such terms as hot dogs,pizza, potato chips, let alone Kentucky and McDonald's. It is the reform and opening-up policy that has brought about the interflow of the food culture between China and the Western countries.
Fast food, both Chinese and Western, has several advantages. In the first place, fast food, as is characterized by its name, is fast. The food is always ready and fresh, waiting for its customers. This saves people's precious time, and consequently goes well with the tempo of life in modern society.
Secondly, it is very convenient. As we know, fast food restaurants are much the same as cafeterias. Customers_may_feel free_to_help_themselves_to_any_variety_
provided_and_eat_to_their_hearts'_content.
Thirdly, fast food restaurants are environmentally comfortable. Clean dishes, shiny tables, decent service and light music all stimulate people's appetite to eat more.
The above mentioned advantages make fast food become rooted in almost all parts of the country and enjoy popularity among people. That's also why nowadays Singapore fast food, Turkish fast food and India-Pakistan fast food have found their homes in China.
As every coin has two sides, fast food also has its disadvantages such as lack of nutrition, dull taste. Nevertheless, these are minor points compared with its advantages. Since most people agree with fast food, it tends to grow more rapidly.
1.What's the best title for this passage
A.The Road to the Western Fast Food
B. The Growth of Fast Food in China
C. Singapore Fast Food in China
D. Every Coin Has Two Sides
2. Which of the following statements is WRONG

D. have meals according to the boss order
4. What do the words “environmentally comfortable” mean

Imagine walking into a restaurant and being greeted by a robot instead of a human. And then, when you're seated, another robot comes to take your order and yet other robot cooks your food and brings it out to you. But now it has turned into reality in a Chinese restaurant called Dalu Robot. The restaurant has been a hit with customers who really want to see what the robots are able to do for them. The robots can also be seen in action in a video made at the restaurant and posted on YouTube.
The restaurants use eighteen different kinds of robots in all, and each is unique in what it can do. There are robot waiters taking orders and still others that bring the food and drinks to the table. And behind the scenes,there are robots that cook noodles and others that brew tea. It's all very mechanized,and uses other technologies as well, such as a conveyer built to present the meals on trays for the wait staff to carry to the table. Also, there is a special part of the floor with electronics that help the wait staff find their way around the restaurant and to keep track of which meals go to which patron.
One of them is even a robot dog to amuse the kids. Customers are greeted with the message “Earth Person, Hello, Welcome to the Robot Restaurant” and robots carry out all of the roles traditionally held by human beings, even stopping by to ask how things are going during the meal. And while they eat, patrons are entertained by a robot that sings, and even takes requests.
All of the robots have been made by one single company, Harbin Haohai Robot Company, though the company has many partners, including those working for the government. China has made a policy to make it the world leader in robotics technology, and if the little restaurant with robot staff is any indication, they're close, if not already there.

A. learn how to greet the robots

A. perform different jobs well in the restaurant

D. have to learn how to amuse the customers in the restaurant
3. What does the underlined word “patron” in Paragraph 2 mean
A.Partner. B. Manager.
C. Waiter. D. Customer.
4. What is the best title of this passage
A.Robotics Technology without Imagination
B. Robot Staff Become Popular in China

When I was small and my grandmother died, I couldn't understand why I had no tears. But that night when my dad tried to cheer me up, my laugh turned into crying.
So it came as no surprise to learn that researchers believe crying and laughing come from the same part of the brain. Just as laughing has many health advantages, scientists are discovering that so, too, does crying.
Whatever it takes for us to reduce pressure is important to our emotional health, and crying seems to work well. One study found that 85 percent of women and 73 percent of men report feeling better after crying.
Besides, tears attract help from other people. Researchers agree that when we cry, people around us become kinder and more friendly and they are more ready to provide support and comfort. Tears also enable us to understand our emotions better; sometimes we don't even know we're very sad until we cry. We learn about our emotions through crying, and then we can deal with them.
Just as crying can be healthy, not crying—holding back tears of anger, pain or suffering—can be bad for physical health. Studies have shown that too much control of emotions can lead to high blood pressure, heart problems and some other illnesses. If you have a health problem, doctors will certainly not ask you to cry. But when you feel like crying, don't fight it back. It's a natural and healthy emotional response.
1. Why didn't the author cry when her grandmother died
A. Because her father did not want her to feel too sad.
B. Because she did not love her grandmother.
C. Because she was too shy to cry at that time.
D. The author doesn't give the explanation.
2. It can be inferred from the text that ________.
A. there are two ways to keep healthy
B. crying does more good to health than laughing
C. crying and laughing play the same roles
D. emotional health has a close relationship to physical health
3. According to the author, which of the following statements is TRUE
A. Crying is the best way to get help from others.
B. Fighting back tears may cause some health problems.
C. We will never know our deep feelings unless we cry.
D. We must cry if we want to reduce pressure.
4. What might be the most suitable title for the text
A. Power of Tears
B. How to keep healthy
C. Why we cry
D. A New Scientific Discovery

Even as the world is facing food shortage, people are seen to waste a lot of food products, which could have served other mouths.
When talking about food saving, many think that what they waste at home is nothing but only a small portion and this small portion will not make any difference. But the reality is that every small portion adds up.
Very simple steps can be taken at home to save food. Planning the meal is the first step. Just organize the meals so that more food is not prepared that is not needed for the family. Look at how many meals will be eaten a day and how many persons will dine.
While shopping, make it a habit to buy groceries that are only needed. Make a list of the groceries that have been emptied in the kitchen and also check the fridge before you go to the market. Only buy the items that are necessary and those that are missing in the kitchen. Some think that bulk(大批) buying saves a lot of money. Well, it is true, but eating preference can change from day to day and there is a possibility that one may throw away the foodstuff that has been bought. Buy only what is needed and do not go for bulk shopping. Always buy food items for one or two days, which means no food wastage.
It is better to eat at home rather than eating outside. It helps not only in saving food but also in keeping one fit. While at home, one knows how much he is going to eat and the remaining food item can be kept in the fridge. Even while dining outside, only buy food according to one's eating habits. Do not buy what others buy or you may waste your food.
1.What's the misunderstanding of food saving according to the passage
A. People have the right to throw away food.
B. A small portion makes no difference.
C. People have the responsibility to save food.
D. Every small portion plays a role.
2.What should we bear in mind while shopping
A.Counting the number of people at home.
B. Doing some careful research in the kitchen.
C. Purchasing what we prefer or others buy.
D. Buying enough food for one week at a time.
3.Why should we eat at home
A.To save food and keep fit.
B. To save money and washing.
C. To eat better and quietly.
D. To avoid being disturbed.
4.The author suggests that one way to save food is to ________.
A. calculate the meals required and get a few extra
B. throw away the remaining food for our health
C. check the fridge before going to the market
D. buy food in large quantities to save money
