Heritage is our legacy from the past，what we live with today，and what we pass on to future generations.Our cultural and natural heritage are both irreplaceable (无可取代的) sources of life and inspiration.Places as unique and diverse as the wilds of East Africa’s Serengeti，the Pyramids of Egypt，the Great Barrier Reef in Australia and the Baroque cathedrals (大教堂) of Latin America make up our world’s heritage.
What makes the concept of World Heritage exceptional is its universal application.World Heritage sites belong to all the people of the world，regardless of the territory on which they are located.
The United Nations Educational，Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) seeks to encourage the identification，protection and preservation of cultural and natural heritage around the world considered to be of outstanding value to humanity.This is embodied in an international treaty called the Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage，adopted by UNESCO in 1972.
UNESCO’s World Heritage mission is to：
encourage countries to sign the World Heritage Convention and to ensure the protection of their natural and cultural heritage；
encourage States Parties to the Convention to nominate sites within their national territory for inclusion on the World Heritage List；
encourage States Parties to establish management plans and set up reporting systems on the state of conservation of their World Heritage sites；
help States Parties safeguard World Heritage properties by providing technical assistance and professional training；
provide emergency assistance for World Heritage sites in immediate danger；support States Parties’ public awareness building activities for World Heritage conservation；
encourage participation of the local population in the preservation of their cultural and natural heritage；
encourage international cooperation in the conservation of our world’s cultural and natural heritage.
26．Which of the following statements about heritage is NOT true
A．It is exceptional because of its universal application.
B．It can be divided into two sorts：the cultural and the natural.
C．It’s the irreplaceable sources of life and inspiration.
D．It has the characteristics of being unique and diverse.
27．UNESCO encourages all the following EXCEPT ________ of cultural and natural heritage
around the world.

C．protection D．conservation
28．The underlined word “embodied” in the third paragraph can be replaced by “________”．

A．building public awareness for World Heritage conservation
B．setting up reporting systems on the state of conservation of their World Heritage sites

30．It can be inferred from the passage that ________.

C．participation of the local population usually makes the conservation work easy
D．UNESCO is an organization aimed at protecting the World Heritage

Does a good mood help when doing your job？Happy thoughts can stimulate creativity，but for common work such as reading a dull textbook，being sad may work better.Stress，anxiety，and a bad mood are notorious for narrowing people’s attention and making them both think and see only what’s right in front of them.
But whether a good mood also expands people’s attention to visual details was unknown.To answer that question，psychologist Adam Anderson of the University of Toronto asked 24 university students to take two kinds of tests after listening to sad，happy，or neutral music.In one test，the students were asked to think of unusual words，thus testing them for the breadth of their thinking.As previously reported by various other researchers，those who have listened to the happy music—and who claimed to be in a better mood—were more successful in recalling unusual words than the other two groups.
In the second test，students were presented with a row of three letters and asked to ignore everything except for the letter in the middle.This measured the breadth of their visual attention and ability to focus on what was in front of them.This time，the happy music students were 40% more likely to be distracted by the unnecessary information than students who had listened to sad music were.
“Attention can act as a beam of spotlight，” says Anderson.A good mood broadens that beam，he says，and in some cases leads to more distractions.But when focused inward，the broader beam yields creativity.“I like this study quite a bit，” says psychologist Elizabeth Phelps of New York University.So does Jeremy Wolfe of Harvard Medical School in Boston.But，he cautions，“this is a modest manipulation of mood in a laboratory situation.” Future studies should address the effects of mood variation “in real life situations”，he says.
31．From the passage，we know a good mood________.
A．must lead to better work
B．has more advantages on common work over a bad mood
C．may have negative effects on some work
D．must have positive effects on people’s work
32．The underlined word “distracted” in the third paragraph can be replaced by “________”．
A．disturbed B．puzzled
C．understood D．encouraged
33．Anderson carried out the tests because he wanted to________.
A．test the breadth of the students’ thinking
B．see if previous reports were correct
C．improve the students’ thinking abilities
D．see if a good mood can broaden people’s attention
34．According to the passage，which of the following statements is TRUE
A．You’d better whistle while you are working.
B．If you want to focus your attention，you should be sad.
C．A good mood must cause more distractions.
D．People with creative thinking are used to controlling their attention.
35．What Jeremy said in the last paragraph tells us________.
A．people’s mood has close connection with their attention
B．tests on people’s mood in labs are very important
C．mood variation affects our life
D．we should focus the research on people’s mood in our life
C
Family traditions were important in our house，and none was more appreciated than the perfect Christmas tree.
“Dad，can we watch when you trim(修剪) the tree？”My eldest son，Dan，nine，and his seven year old brother John，asked.
“I won’t be cutting this year，”my husband Bob said.“Dan，you and John are old enough to measure things.Do it all by yourselves.Think you boys can handle it？”
Dan and John seemed to grow_six_inches in their chairs at the thought of such an amazing responsibility.“We can handle it，”Dan promised.“We won’t let you down.”
A few days before Christmas，Dan and John rushed in after school.They gathered the tools they’d need and brought them out to the yard，where the tree waited.I was cooking when I heard the happy sounds as the boys carried the tree into the living room.Then I heard the sound that every mother knows is trouble：dead silence.I hurried out to them.The tree was cut too short.John crossed his arms tight across his chest.His eyes filled with angry tears.
I felt worried.The tree was central to our holiday.I didn’t want the boys to feel ashamed every time they looked at it.I couldn’t lower the ceiling，and I couldn’t raise the floor either.There was no way to undo the damage done.Suddenly，a thought came to my mind，which turned the problem into the solution.
“We can’t make the tree taller，”I said.“But we can put it on a higher position.”
Dan nodded his head sideways，“We could put it on the coffee table.It just might work！Let’s try it！”
When Bob got home and looked at the big tree on top of the coffee table，Dan and John held their breath.
“What a good idea！”he declared.“Why didn’t I ever think of such a thing？”
John broke into a grin.Dan’s chest swelled with pride.
36．Who trimmed the Christmas tree this year
A．The writer. B．Bob.
C．Dan and John. D．The whole family.
37．The underlined part “grow six inches”(Para.4) implies the brothers felt ________.
A．proud B．nervous
C．embarrassed D．scared
38．What happened after the brothers moved the Christmas tree into the living room
A．They rushed to school.
B．They began to decorate the tree.
C．They got angry with each other.
D．They found the tree was cut short.
39．How could the short tree be turned into a perfect one
A．By making the tree taller.
B．By lowering the ceiling.
C．By placing it on a coffee table.
D．By raising the floor.
40．What Bob said in the last but one paragraph showed ________.
A．he was a little disappointed
B．he was too stupid to think of the idea
C．he appreciated what the brothers had done
D．he should not have given them the task

Holiday visitors to Waikiki Beach，Hawaii，may do a double take at the four legged surfer riding into shore，but the regulars are always calm.They know the eight year old pug is Bugsy，a local star whose owner，David Yew，taught the guy，er，dog to surf.
Yew,39，got the idea while he and Bugsy were walking on the beach and came upon a statue of a surfer.Yew put the dog down on the surfboard to take a photo，and the scene looked so natural that Yew was inspired to take the next step.Soon enough，the two were together surfing.
“The first time we paddled out，”Yew says，“Bugsy ran right to the front of the board.”
The two ride a 3.35m，rubber filled long board.“It gives Bugsy a better hold，”Yew says.He loves the water and dog paddles so well that Yew has trouble keeping up.
Bugsy wasn’t always so energetic.Two days after Yew，a doctor of emergency medicine，adopted the 12 week old puppy from a shelter，Bugsy came down with a bad cough，which progressed to pneumonia(肺炎)．Yew rushed the pug to the emergency department of an animal hospital，where he stayed until Yew could no longer afford to keep him there.Bugsy needed further treatment，so Yew built his own ICU(重症监护室) in his apartment.He covered an empty fish tank with plastic to use it for further treatment and gave the sick puppy intravenous antibiotics(静脉注射抗生素)．Bugsy pulled through.
Since then，the doctor and the dog have been inseparable.“Saving Bugsy’s life created unconditional trust between us，”Yew says.
The pair surf together every week and have shared other activities，including skydiving.At Yew’s wedding to dentist Aimee Kim last year，Bugsy in a dress carried the rings down the aisle placed in a pillow on his back.
Bugsy and Yew have given up skydiving，at the bride’s insistence.But hang up the board？No way.Says Yew，“I want this dog to experience the same joy that I have in my life.”
41．Which of the following can best describe a visitor’s reaction at the sight of the four legged surfer
A．Frightened. B．Excited.
C．Amazed. D．Doubtful.
42．How did David Yew get the idea to teach Bugsy to surf
A．Holiday visitors to Waikiki Beach inspired him.
B．The statue he and Bugsy saw on the beach inspired him.
C．The eight year old pug showed his talent in surfing.
D．The photo in which Bugsy was on the surfboard inspired him.
43．Why didn’t Yew let Bugsy continue staying in the animal hospital
A．Because Bugsy didn’t need to receive further treatment.
B．Because there was no ICU in the hospital.
C．Because Yew couldn’t afford Bugsy’s treatment any longer.
D．Because as a doctor，Yew could do better.
44．What most strengthened the relationship between Yew and Bugsy
A．Taking the photo on the beach.
B．Yew’s saving Bugsy’s life.
C．Surfing together every week.
D．Skydiving together every week.
45．According to the passage，which of the following is TRUE
A．Bugsy caught a cough because of surfing in cold water.
B．In the water Bugsy couldn’t surf as fast as Yew.
C．Bugsy attended Yew’s wedding as a special guest.
D．Yew and Bugsy have given up skydiving as well as surfing.

My wife，daughter，and I moved into our home nine years ago.We called the area in front of our house “rock garden” as it is full of rocks.
Last summer I found a tiny little plant which I could not immediately identify at the end of the rock garden.I knew I didn’t plant it and my wife claimed that she didn’t either.We decided to let it continue growing until we could figure out what it was.
Weeks passed and as I made my way back to the mystery plant，it appeared to be a sunflower.It was spindly with a tall skinny stalk and only one head on it，I decided to take care of it and weed around it.As I pulled rocks from the area to get rid of the weeds，I noticed something unusual.The sunflower had not started where I saw the stalk begin.It actually had begun under a big rock and grown under and around it to reach the sun.

Dear_Sir_or_Madam，
I’ve learned from a newspaper that six of eight bear species in the world are dying out.Humans are their biggest threat because some parts of bears are very expensive as medicine，and that’s one of the reasons why bears are often killed.In addition，many habitats of bears are being destroyed as a result of human activities，so bears are losing their homes.
To save bears，I think more reserves for bears should be set up so that they can live freely there and that laws should be passed to prevent people from killing bears.
Please give a hand to the endangered bears，which need help to survive.
Yours_sincerely，

Stand Tall like the Sunflower
While cleaning his yard last summer，the author discovered that a sunflower managed to grow under a big rock to reach the sun，which shocked him as a miracle of life.
I realized that if a tiny little sunflower didn’t let a big rock stand in its way of developing，we have the capability of doing the same thing.Once our environment begins to see that we believe in ourselves like that little sunflower，we can attain the same nourishment and nurture as well.
In order to achieve our goals in our life like the sunflower，we need to believe in ourselves.First，knowing we have the capabilities in achieving our desires.We should be like the sunflower which knew it had the capability to overcome its obstacle because it trusted in the universal truth and had faith that it would succeed.Besides，if we can stand tall like the sunflower and be proud of who and what we are，the environment will begin to support us.Eventually we will find a way to go under or around our big obstacle in order to reach our desires.Period Three Lesson 3 Epidemics Explained

“Mum，what does it mean when someone tells you that they have a skeleton (骨骼) in the closet (衣橱)？” Jessica asked. “A skeleton in the closet？” her mother paused thoughtfully. “Well，it’s something that you would rather not have anyone else know about.For example，if in the past，someone in Dad’s family had been arrested for stealing a horse，it would be ‘a skeleton in his family’s closet’．He really wouldn’t want any neighbor to know about it.”
“Why pick on my family？” Jessica’s father said with anger. “Your family history isn’t so good，you know.Wasn’t your great great grandfather a prisoner who was transported to Australia for his crimes？” “Yes，but people these days say that you are not a real Australian unless your ancestors arrived as prisoners.” “Gosh，sorry I asked.I think I understand now，” Jessica cut in before things grew worse.
After dinner，the house was very quiet.Jessica’s parents were still quite angry with each other.Her mother was ironing clothes and every now and then she glared at her husband，who hid behind his newspaper pretending to read.When she finished，she gathered the freshly pressed clothes in her arms and walked to Jessica’s closet.Just as she opened the door and reached in to hang a skirt，a bony arm stuck out from the dark depths and a bundle of white bones fell to the floor.Jessica’s mother sank into a faint (晕倒)，waking only when Jessica put a cold，wet cloth on her forehead.She looked up to see the worried faces of her husband and daughter.
“What happened？Where am I？” she asked. “You just destroyed the school’s skeleton，Mum，” explained Jessica. “I brought it home to help me with my health project.I meant to tell you，but it seemed that as soon as I mentioned skeletons and closets，it caused a problem between you and Dad.” Jessica looked in amazement as her parents began to laugh madly. “They’re both crazy，” she thought.
1．According to Jessica’s mother，“a skeleton in the closet” means “________”．
A．a family honor B．a family secret

A
It is probably the strangest sport anyone has ever invented.And at first sight，it looks like the petitors have to do two things.The first is to stand still.The second is to place their hands anywhere on the body of a car，and keep it there.
This is where things start getting difficult.Lots of people are doing the same thing.And the winner of the “handathon” contest is the person who can carry on doing it for the longest time.That person gets to own the car.
It still seems to be an easy thing to do.At the beginning it is.Anyone can stand still.But when the contest has been going for four or five days，standing still seems like the most difficult job in the world.And keeping the hand in place over this time becomes an act of serious attention.After a few days，the hand seems to belong to someone else—someone who wants to go home and get some sleep.
Competitors are allowed to take a five minute break every hour to eat，drink or do whatever else is necessary.No one is allowed to lean on the car for support.Winners need to be able to show great powers of attention.They also need to be able to develop special skills.
Maybe the popularity of the handathon is due to the fact that it is not necessary to be a trained athlete to enter.Entrants in the Longview handathon certainly don’t seem to do much preparation.Most say they will prepare by “getting lots of sleep”．Others say they will “eat healthy food” or “pray for success”．The whole event gives ordinary people the chance to do something interesting and win something in the end.Handathons are competitions，but there is little rivalry(敌对) between competitors.They help each other out and keep each other’s spirits up.People who drop out early return with food，drink and encouragement.
1．The reason why the sport is called “handathon” is that competitors ________.
A．cover a long distance
B．keep hands in place for long
C．wave hands as long as possible
D．do the same thing as in a marathon
2．What ability is likely to be needed most in a handathon
A．Standing without any support.
B．Not leaning on the car.
C．Eating and drinking in five minutes.
D．Having strong powers of attention.
3．Why is handathon popular
A．Someone can win with special training.
B．It doesn’t need to make any preparation.
C．Anyone who is interested can join in it.
D．People get along well with each other in it.
4．What is the writer’s opinion about handathon
A．It is not as easy as it looks at first.
B．It is the easiest of all sports.
C．It can purify people’s spirits.
D．It is not good competing in a handathon.
5．Which of the following about handathon is not right
A．The person who takes part in it should stand still.
B．The person who takes part in it has to place his hands anywhere on the body of a car，and
keep it there.
C．The person who takes part in it can have a break during the course of the competition.
D．Handathons are competitions，so competitors don’t encourage each other.
B
As more Americans go to mainland China to take jobs，more Chinese and Americans are working side by side.These cross cultural partnerships，while beneficial in many ways，are also highlighting tensions that expose differences in work experience，pay levels and communication.
In the last few years，a growing number of Americans in their 20s and 30s have been heading to China for employment，attracted by its faster growing economy and lower jobless rate.Their Chinese co workers are often around the same age.But the two groups were raised differently.The Americans have had more exposure to freemarket principles.“Young Americans were brought up in a commercial environment，” said Neng Zhao,28，a senior associate at Blue Oak Capital，a private firm based in Beijing.“We weren’t.So the workplace is a unique learning process for my generation.”
Managers hiring workers in China appear to be paying for Western experience.Foreigners tend to earn 10 to 15 percent more than their Chinese counterparts，said Michael Norman，senior vice president at Sibson Consulting，an American firm.That imbalance does not go unnoticed by Chinese workers.“There is definitely the belief that Americans get paid more for the same work，” said Ting Wang,25，an associate at Wild China，a travel company based in Beijing.On the other hand，Chinese workers have a deeper understanding of the influences，like Confucianism and Communism，which play a part in their country’s culture and economy.
It is important and necessary for Americans working in China to adjust，said Mr.Norman，who works on management and work force issues for multinational companies operating in Asia.
“In the West，there is such a bonus on getting things done quickly，but when you come to work in China，you need to work on listening and being more patient and understanding of local ways of doing business，” he said.
6．More Americans go to China to take jobs because________.
A．they want to experience different cultures
B．Chinese workers are easier to cooperate
C．they can’t find proper jobs in America
D．the economy of China is developing rapidly
7．What is mainly talked about in the passage
A．Cross cultural conflicts.
B．Cross cultural partnerships.
C．Multi national companies in China.
D．Different pays for the same work.
8．What can we learn from the passage
A．Americans benefit more from working in China.
B．Chinese and American employees have the same experience.
C．Young Chinese can benefit from cross cultural partnerships.
D．More Americans working in China cause higher jobless rate.
9．What does the underlined word “imbalance” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A．Unfair pay levels.
B．Different working experience.
C．Unequal opportunities.
D．Different upbringing environment.
10．We can infer from the last paragraph that________.
A．Americans working in China adjust very well
B．ways of doing business in different countries differ
C．doing business in China takes money and patience
D．international companies need to understand each other
Ⅳ.信息匹配
阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。
以下是某个英语杂志有关专家对一些读者反映问题的建议：
A．Feel grateful!
You say you’re thankful，but then dismiss your mom’s investment as an “obligation”．By today’s economic standards，what she did is virtually miraculous.Tell your mom plainly，over and over again，how grateful you are.I’m sure the complaining will begin to fade.
B．Tame the beast!
When one boy discovers his inner caveman，he likes to initiate others into the tribe.Don’t over worry.Boys will be boys.You and your husband should meet the boy’s parents down the street，suggesting a plan to either tame the wild beasts or limit their time together.
C．Good effort and goodwill makes it!
Maybe there was a reason why your buddy was out of work.He’s taking advantage of you and your employer.Remind him how to act on the job.He owes good effort and goodwill if he accepts the pay.Tell him to be quiet or get away.
D．Calm down!
Fast vehicles and wild people，sound like adolescent dreams to me.As some men age，they compensate with bigger，faster toys.But he’s putting you at risk and breaking the law.In a calm moment outside the car，tell him that he is scaring you.Suggest he join a car club，which promotes safe driving.
E．Move your line away!
You say you’re “in the middle”，but I’d say you’re dangerously close to slipping off the edge.There are lots of fish in the sea；why drop your line in waters your friend is still fishing
F．Speak out and breathe easily together!
You are rebuilding a relationship with new trust and affection.If there’s a bad odor left from the old day，you need to clear the air.Mention the problem，and say，“I’m sorry for my part in that argument.”I bet she’ll say the same.
以下是一些读者在生活中反映的问题。请匹配问题及对应的建议。
1．Allan：My friend Jim was out of work and I helped him find a job in my company.But recently I have found he is very lazy and doesn’t do his work well.Besides，he often tells me that our employer is too bad. ( )
2．Mary：Cathy and I were good friends.But two years ago she moved and left me because we had an argument.Now I hear she has come back to this town and lives about a mile away.I hope to visit this old friend，but I really don’t know what to do. ( )
3．Mrs Green：My eight year old son used to be obedient.But recently he’s become wild and crazy like a barbarian and doesn’t want to stay at home.My husband and I get worried.Now I find he likes to play with another boy who is also a barbarian. ( )
4．Mike：I live with my mother，who works night and day so that she can support my schooling.I’m grateful but sometimes I get even more annoyed because she seems to be always unsatisfied with me and complains about my faults. ( )
5．Eileen：My friend Jim is a helpful young man，and he has taken me downtown in his car several times.But every time he drove his car so crazily that I felt horrible.“I’ve got used to driving fast，”he says. ( )

One hundred and thirte ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )en million Americans have at least one billion bank issued credit cards.They give their owners automatic credit in stores，restaurants，and hotels，at home，across the country，and even abroad，and they make many banking services available as well.More and more of these credit cards can be read automatically，making it possible to withdraw or deposit money in scattered locations，whether or not the local branch bank is open.For many of us the “cashless society” is not on the horizon—it is already here.21世纪教育网版权所有
