The regular editor (编辑) of the agricultural paper was going off for a holiday, and I took his place.
It was an easy job since I've been in the editorial business for fourteen years.I worked all week with untiring pleasure and waited a day to see whether my effort was going to attract any notice.As I went to the office in the morning, a group of men stood outside, watching me with interest, and I heard one or two of them say: “That's him！” I was naturally pleased.
After a while, an old gentleman entered my office and asked me, “Are you the new editor？”
I said I was.
“Have you ever edited an agricultural paper before？”
“No，” I said.“This is my first try.”
“I'd like to read you this: ‘Turnips (大头菜) should never be pulled; it injures them. It is much better to send a boy up and let him shake the tree.’”
“Now, what do you think of that？”
“I think it is good.Every year millions and millions of turnips are damaged by being pulled.If they had sent a boy up to shake the tree ...”
“Shake your grandmother！Turnips don't grow on trees！”
“Oh, they don't？Well, who said they did？The language was intended to be figurative (比喻的)．”
Then this old person tore his paper into pieces, and went out.
Pretty soon after this, the editor came in, looking sad and confused.
He said, “What put it into your head that you could edit a paper of this nature？You talk of the moulting (换羽毛) season for cows; and you say that clams (蛤蜊) will lie quiet if music is played to them.Nonsense！Clams always lie quiet and they care nothing whatever about music.Ah, heavens and earth, friend！Why didn't you tell me you didn't know anything about agriculture？”

Internet dating has become one of the biggest and most successful business ventures on the Internet. Basically, Internet dating, is a way to meet people for either friendship or dating without actually having to meet them in person first.
The first thing to do if you decide to try Internet dating is to build your profile (简介) which can include your hobbies, hopes for the future, and so on. A photograph is optional, but many sites claim that a photograph increases the number of people who look at your profile. Many Internet dating sites will charge a one time registration fee to use their services.
Internet dating makes it possible to meet people from all over the world. You can even narrow the search down to your area by zip code. Another advantage is that you can communicate by email before you meet in person. Thousands of people have met, fallen in love, and married through Internet dating. It is an excellent way for shy people to meet. It is also a way for people with busy lives to connect with others, and an easy way to meet people who share your interests.
Just as in conventional dating and love, there are some pitfalls to be aware of in Internet dating. The person you have been talking to on the Net may not be who they say they are. Be very aware that there are some people who misrepresent their appearance or private details, such as marital status, income, for their own reasons. It would not be the first time that someone has been taken in, and talk shows are full of cheating partners who have been caught dating over the Internet in their spare time. Nevertheless, taking a few simple precautions should help ensure that your Internet dating experience is fun.

Baghdad (AFP) — Haneen, who has spent most of her life in orphanages (孤儿院), says she used to stay weeks locked up by herself, eating, watching TV and sleeping through each day.
Last week, the 13 year old Iraqi girl was smiling happily when the crowd at a Baghdad theatre warmly clapped her and her friends.
“Now I'm happy.I sing, dance and joke with my friends，” she said.“I have changed.People are asking me：‘What happened Have you gone crazy？’”
What happened was a project set up by the Ruya Foundation for Contemporary Culture in Iraq, which introduces drama therapy (戏剧疗法) to a country where almost everybody has suffered some kind of trauma (创伤)．
Six theatre professionals were trained in Beirut by Catharsis, a drama therapy centre led by director Zeina Daccache, known for her work with prisoners in Lebanon.
Bassem Altayeb was one of the trainees.He said, “Each one found some confidence and built their character.”
“I am proud of them today，” said wet eyed Iman Hassoon, the orphanage's principal, after the show.
“I hope they can use the energy they found with this play to protect themselves and have a place of their own in society，” Hassoon added.
The drama therapy project explores a way of “dealing with people's problems in an extremely damaged society such as Iraq, which has experienced so much trauma and violence，” said Tamara Chalabi, chair of the Ruya Foundation.
“Iraq is a society for men, not really for women.These girls are particularly vulnerable (易受伤害的)，” added Furat al Jamil, an Iraqi German artist who also works with Ruya.
“The first time I visited the orphanage, the girls were very shy; they were hiding.Now you see them confident and sociable，” Jamil said.
After the play, the girls themselves could hardly believe their own change.
Ruqayyeh, 13, burst into tears when the lights came back on and the audience stood up to clap.
“I had always dreamt of being an actress, of being on stage ...But I used to be unhappy and bored; nobody liked hanging out with me.Now everything's changed and the girls love me.”

B．They can find a good job.
C．They can survive in society.

解析：选C 细节理解题。根据第八段中Hassoon在文中说的“I hope they can ...have a place of their own in society”可知，她希望这些孤儿院的孩子将来有一天能在社会上有立足之地，即能在社会中生存下来。

C．She remembered her sad past.
D．She was so happy about her change.
解析：选D 推理判断题。倒数第二段提到Ruqayyeh失声痛哭是为了说明倒数第三段中的“the girls themselves could hardly believe their own change”，再结合Ruqayyeh在末段说的话可知，她是为自己的改变喜极而泣。PAGE

Ⅴ.阅读理解
You aren't supposed to use your cellphone while driving.You already know this, but you still do it sometimes just like I did in the past.In Illinois, drivers are required to be “hand free”．But it is really tough to be truly “hand free” when it comes to using a cellphone in the car.
Here is what I did in the past.When my phone rang, I answered and quickly asked the caller to hold on for a minute.Then I put my earphones in, asked the caller, “Can you hear me？” and then began the conversation.
I recently learned that I had been doing my “hand free” driving all wrong.A few weeks ago, I attended a dinner hosted by Jabra, a Danish company that makes Bluetooth devices.I eagerly accepted the invitation because I had very little understanding of Bluetooth technology and thought that maybe I would learn more about how expensive it would be to have it installed in my car. Instead, I learned that anyone can have Bluetooth technology in his or her car for about $60.You don't have to have a system installed.You just buy a very small device, pair it with your phone and you are set to go.With it, you can make, answer, conduct phone calls truly hand free in your vehicle.When I lost the set of earphones that I had been using a few months ago, I paid about $30 to replace them.If only I had known then that for only$30 more, I could have a_safer_solution.
Now I am feeling so much better about talking by phone while driving.I want to share this information with you to tell you that you can make driving safer for about $60.Totally worth it.
Nevertheless, it is very dangerous to talk over the phone while driving no matter whether you are using a hand held cellphone, earphones or Bluetooth devices.Avoid doing it!
语篇解读：文中作者介绍了很适合装在车上使用的蓝牙设备。
1．In the past, how did the writer do “hand free” driving
A．By not answering phone calls.
B．By talking loudly over the phone.
C．By using Bluetooth technology.
D．By using earphones while on the phone.
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据第二段的内容可知应选D。
2．Before attending the dinner hosted by Jabra, the writer ________.
A．thought highly of using Bluetooth technology
B．thought Bluetooth technology was very cheap
C．didn't know much about Bluetooth technology
D．was not interested in knowing about Bluetooth technology
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据第三段第三句的“I had very little understanding of Bluetooth technology ...”可知，在那次用餐之前作者对蓝牙技术不甚了解。
3．What does the underlined part “a safer solution” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A．Not replacing the earphones.
B．Avoiding making calls in the car.
C．Buying a good pair of earphones.
D．Buying a very small Bluetooth device.
解析：选D 推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句的“If only I had known then that for only $30 more”可知，这里是指再多花30美元就可以买一个蓝牙设备了。
4．The writer would most probably agree that ________.
A．with a Bluetooth device phoning while driving can never be dangerous
B．it is OK to talk using a hand held phone when you are driving slowly
C．we should not talk over the phone while we are driving

解析：选C 推理判断题。根据最后一段的内容可推知应选C。
Ⅵ.阅读七选五
Cheering somebody up is a good way to make life easier for us and to create a better atmosphere (氛围)．It can also make us feel good about ourselves.__1__ Often, one of the best things we can do is try to keep his mind off whatever is bothering him.To achieve this, we can take him out and get him to meet others and enjoy a good time.__2__ In this way, we can make him busy with a task, which will stop him thinking about other discouraging things.
Putting on music is also a good idea to cheer somebody up.When someone is in a bad situation, he often likes listening to sad music that keeps him feeling down.__3__ If we have a friend who is feeling low, make him listen to some pop and we would see his feeling starts to improve.

Ⅴ.阅读理解
When you think of the different types of advertising, several come to your mind. There are the traditional means to advertise: newspapers,
magazines, radio, television, billboards, and even taxicabs. Yet there are other types of advertising, such as aerial advertising (空中广告), which is very different in many aspects.
Radio advertising is aimed at the local customers. The downside of using radio is that the customer needs to have the station tuned in. Placement of ads on the radio is another consideration since listening time is important to the ads. The upside of using radio is that the audience does tend to remember jingles (广告词) that are easy to remember.
Magazine and newspaper advertising is directed to the subscribers (订阅人). The subscriptions limit the availability to non subscribers. The concept of being able to read information online is slowly changing the subscriptions to this advertising market. Limitations of circulation of magazines and newspapers mean fewer people viewing the advertisements.
Television advertising is channeled to the viewers. Limitations of viewers based on the available channel selections lower the exposure audience. With the availability of satellite to consumers, locating the client base for advertisement can easily be lost or overlooked.
Billboard advertising focuses on the area of the billboard. Limitations of outside regions viewing the information are high. Getting the attention of the passers by to view the information is also a subject to be considered.
Aerial banner advertising focuses on vast population of various regions. Based upon the region, the exposure is limitless. Grabbing or gaining the public's attention is based on simple human nature to look up at the airplane that is flying overhead. People typically look up when a plane flies overhead. To have a banner with an advertisement adds more curiosity and response.
People tend to remember aerial advertising at a high rate. They also tend to communicate to others about the advertisement by sharing the information by word of mouth. This word of mouth is absolutely free but is of important benefit to aerial advertising. Aerial advertising can be done throughout the entire year, but the warmer months are preferred. Aerial advertising has certain restrictions, yet these restrictions are fewer than the other means of advertising.
语篇解读：这是一篇说明文，介绍了不同形式广告的利与弊。
1．The underlined word “downside” in the second paragraph can be replaced by “________”．
A．strength B．weakness
C．purpose D．instruction
解析：选B 词义猜测题。依据第二段内容推断，downside和upside相呼应，分别指收音机广告的弊端和优势。故B项正确。
2．Which of the following is the author probably in favor of
A．Radio advertising. B．Television advertising.
C．Aerial advertising. D．Billboard advertising.
解析：选C 推理判断题。依据最后一段中的“tend to remember aerial advertising at a high rate”“absolutely free”“benefit”“throughout the entire year”，特别是最后一句可推断，作者对aerial advertising赞美有加。
3．What does the passage mainly tell us
A．Different advantages of advertising.
B．Advantages overpass weaknesses.
C．Various weaknesses of advertising.
D．Different types of advertising.
解析：选D 主旨大意题。本文既提到各种形式的广告的优势又提到其弊端，因此，A、C两项作为标题太片面，B项不符合文意，D项涵盖最全面。
4．How many types of advertising are mentioned in the passage
A．4. B．5.
C．6. D．7.
解析：选D 细节理解题。由文中第一段最后两句可知。
