Text messaging, or simply “texting”, which allows people to send and receive messages on mobile phones, becomes very popular today.
The advantages of texting are obvious. Texting helps to save money. If you have a few words to greet your families and friends on their birthdays or on some important festivals, sending messages can be cheaper than phone calling. Texting helps to save time. Even if you want to send a message to 100 people, you can do it one second. Texting helps you to “talk” to someone when he is too busy to answer the phone. Texting can also help you to “talk” to someone secretly if you don’t want others to hear what you are talking on the phone. These advantages are so amazing that many people are crazy about it. They hold mobile phones in hands all day long, send dozens of messages each day, and even text while driving or walking.
However, texting has its disadvantages. Junk（垃圾）messages may come into your mobile phone box now and then. When your phone box gets too full, you can’t receive any more messages. You may therefore miss some important information.
What’s more, if you don’t do texting properly, for example texting while driving or walking, it can be dangerous. It can cause injuries and even death. It is reported that about 6,000 people are killed and half a million were injured for this reason each year. In Fort Lee, a small town in New Jersey, USA, three people died because they walked into traffic while texting in 2011. Two researchers at Stony Brook University, New York found that texters are 60% more probably to have an accident than others. When people are texting, they don’t notice other people or things around them. To reduce traffic accidents, no drivers of the USA are now allowed to text while driving. About 32 countries have passed laws forbidding the use of mobile phones while driving.
Texting is a wonderful way of communication. However, only when we use it properly, can we fully enjoy the fun it brings.
26. How many advantages of texting are mentioned in the passage
A. Three. B. Four. C. Five. D. Six.
27. When your phone box gets full because of junk messages, what will happen
A. Your phone will break down. B. Your phone can’t get through.
C. Your phone can’t get messages any more. D. You lose contact with others.
28. What did the researchers at Stony Brook University find
A. Texting can cause accidents more easily.
B. Texting while walking can cause death.
C. Calling while driving is easier to have accidents.
D. Many people were killed and injured.
29. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true
A. Drivers are allowed to text in the USA.
B. Text while walking is dangerous.
C. Junk texting cannot prevent you receiving messages.
D. The advantages of texting are not obvious.
30. This passage is written to tell us that _______.
A. we should do less texting B. texting has many advantages
C. texting has many disadvantages D. we should do texting properly
D
THE FRIDGE MAN
People sometimes do the silliest things when they’ve had too many beers. But when Londoner Tony Hawks woke up one morning after a heavy night’s drinking, he remembered he’d done something totally silly: he’d accepted a bet (打赌) for 100 to hitchhike（搭便车）around the whole of Ireland in 30 days with a fridge!
Although he knew he didn’t have to do it, the idea attracted him. He decided he would do it just for the fun of it, not the money---the fridge he bought cost him more than 100 anyway! So a few weeks later, he set off for Ireland with a mini-fridge and a backpack.
At first, people in Ireland were unsure of him, but during his early trip, he was interviewed on a popular radio show that was interested in crazy ideas. Immediately, he became well-known as “the fridge man”. People recognized him everywhere he went and did anything they could to help him achieve his goal. In fact, so many people wanted to give him a ride that they had to tell him in advance! He was offered free places to stay and was bought drinks in every bar he visited. He made all kinds of friends and had all kinds of adventures, including finding romance, meeting a king, and going surfing with his fridge!
After he returned to London, he wrote a book about his trip, Round Ireland with a Fridge, which sold 500,000 copies worldwide. There are now plans for a movie, too. Tony still has the fridge, which he keeps in his living room like a work of art, with photos and souvenirs (纪念品) of his trip inside it.
Tony says the trip made him a better person, and that it was one of the best experiences of his life. Above all, it showed him the warm, friendly, generous, and good-hearted nature of the Irish people. “They loved the silliness of it. The culture there supported that kind of thing,” he says. Ireland surely is the only place in the world where you could get 100 percent support for doing something so silly.
31. Why did Tony accept the bet
A. He need the money very much. B. He couldn’t break his promise.
C. He thought it was fun. D. He didn’t want to look silly.
52. Tony become well-known __________.
A. after he set off for Ireland B. after he was interviewed on a radio show
C. after he finished the trip D. after he returned to London
53. Irish people offered help to Tony by _________.
① giving him a free ride ②giving him a free place to stay
③ buying him drinks ④ carrying the fridge for him
A. ① B. ②③ C. ①②③ D. ①②③④
54. What does Tony value most about his trip
A. It shows him the good nature of the Irish people. B. It makes him popular overnight.
C. It helps him to become rich. D. It made him a better person.
55. From the last paragraph, we can infer that the Irish people are _________.
A. silly B. crazy C. humors D. broadminded

What’s worse, it is not the model I ordered. It cannot recognize human voice. What a pity! I thought there must be something wrong with your service.

Text messaging, or simply “texting”, which allows people to send and receive messages on mobile phones, becomes very popular today.
The advantages of texting are obvious. Texting helps to save money. If you have a few words to greet your families and friends on their birthdays or on some important festivals, sending messages can be cheaper than phone calling. Texting helps to save time. Even if you want to send a message to 100 people, you can do it one second. Texting helps you to “talk” to someone when he is too busy to answer the phone. Texting can also help you to “talk” to someone secretly if you don’t want others to hear what you are talking on the phone. These advantages are so amazing that many people are crazy about it. They hold mobile phones in hands all day long, send dozens of messages each day, and even text while driving or walking.
However, texting has its disadvantages. Junk（垃圾）messages may come into your mobile phone box now and then. When your phone box gets too full, you can’t receive any more messages. You may therefore miss some important information.
What’s more, if you don’t do texting properly, for example texting while driving or walking, it can be dangerous. It can cause injuries and even death. It is reported that about 6,000 people are killed and half a million were injured for this reason each year. In Fort Lee, a small town in New Jersey, USA, three people died because they walked into traffic while texting in 2011. Two researchers at Stony Brook University, New York found that texters are 60% more probably to have an accident than others. When people are texting, they don’t notice other people or things around them. To reduce traffic accidents, no drivers of the USA are now allowed to text while driving. About 32 countries have passed laws forbidding the use of mobile phones while driving.
Texting is a wonderful way of communication. However, only when we use it properly, can we fully enjoy the fun it brings.
26. How many advantages of texting are mentioned in the passage
A. Three. B. Four. C. Five. D. Six.
27. When your phone box gets full because of junk messages, what will happen
A. Your phone will break down. B. Your phone can’t get through.
C. Your phone can’t get messages any more. D. You lose contact with others.
28. What did the researchers at Stony Brook University find
A. Texting can cause accidents more easily.
B. Texting while walking can cause death.
C. Calling while driving is easier to have accidents.
D. Many people were killed and injured.
29. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true
A. Drivers are allowed to text in the USA.
B. Text while walking is dangerous.
C. Junk texting cannot prevent you receiving messages.
D. The advantages of texting are not obvious.
30. This passage is written to tell us that _______.
A. we should do less texting B. texting has many advantages

THE FRIDGE MAN
People sometimes do the silliest things when they’ve had too many beers. But when Londoner Tony Hawks woke up one morning after a heavy night’s drinking, he remembered he’d done something totally silly: he’d accepted a bet (打赌) for 100 to hitchhike（搭便车）around the whole of Ireland in 30 days with a fridge!
Although he knew he didn’t have to do it, the idea attracted him. He decided he would do it just for the fun of it, not the money---the fridge he bought cost him more than 100 anyway! So a few weeks later, he set off for Ireland with a mini-fridge and a backpack.
At first, people in Ireland were unsure of him, but during his early trip, he was interviewed on a popular radio show that was interested in crazy ideas. Immediately, he became well-known as “the fridge man”. People recognized him everywhere he went and did anything they could to help him achieve his goal. In fact, so many people wanted to give him a ride that they had to tell him in advance! He was offered free places to stay and was bought drinks in every bar he visited. He made all kinds of friends and had all kinds of adventures, including finding romance, meeting a king, and going surfing with his fridge!
After he returned to London, he wrote a book about his trip, Round Ireland with a Fridge, which sold 500,000 copies worldwide. There are now plans for a movie, too. Tony still has the fridge, which he keeps in his living room like a work of art, with photos and souvenirs (纪念品) of his trip inside it.
Tony says the trip made him a better person, and that it was one of the best experiences of his life. Above all, it showed him the warm, friendly, generous, and good-hearted nature of the Irish people. “They loved the silliness of it. The culture there supported that kind of thing,” he says. Ireland surely is the only place in the world where you could get 100 percent support for doing something so silly.
31. Why did Tony accept the bet
A. He need the money very much. B. He couldn’t break his promise.
C. He thought it was fun. D. He didn’t want to look silly.
52. Tony become well-known __________.
A. after he set off for Ireland B. after he was interviewed on a radio show
C. after he finished the trip D. after he returned to London
53. Irish people offered help to Tony by _________.
① giving him a free ride ②giving him a free place to stay
③ buying him drinks ④ carrying the fridge for him
A. ① B. ②③ C. ①②③ D. ①②③④
54. What does Tony value most about his trip
A. It shows him the good nature of the Irish people. B. It makes him popular overnight.
C. It helps him to become rich. D. It made him a better person.
55. From the last paragraph, we can infer that the Irish people are _________.

Complaint
Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing to you about the E-dictionary I bought through your online order before Christmas. I paid $15 for it. I had planned to send it to my best friend as a gift on her birthday. Although the package came on time and appeared in good condition, when I unpacked the box with care, I was surprised to find the E-dictionary is black instead of blue. What’s worse, it is not the model I ordered. It cannot recognize human voice. What a pity! I thought there must be something wrong with your service. I will return it by post and would be thankful if you could give my money back as soon as possible with postage charge ($5) included.I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours, Hua Li
