I had worked long and hard on this project.Knowing that it was finally complete gave me great satisfaction.“Perfect！”I said.“Now，all I have to do is to keep the dogs off of it.” I went about setting up barriers(障碍)using old fence，broken chairs，flowerpots，and anything I could find so as to avoid footprints both on the oil paint and our carpet.It worked perfectly.
Just before returning to the house and to a much needed shower，I took one last look at this fine work of art.“What is that？”I said.“Where did that come from？”
Clearly marked and evenly spaced across the entire area，I found tiny marks running in straight lines.I carefully stepped to our flower garden.It was there I found several of the small markings.Now，almost frozen in place by this stunning(令人震惊的)discovery，I remained in position so as to prevent further damaging my work.Just then，off to my left，it appeared.A chipmunk(花栗鼠)．He was as stunned as I was.We stood there face to face looking at each other，wondering who would make the first move.
The warm，wet air was now getting the best of me.Sweat now ran freely over my head，and in poor timing(适时)into my eyes.I reached up to rub them and when I opened my eyes he was gone.
My only satisfaction was in thinking that when he returned home he tracked oily footprints into his own home.And，hoping he was married，his wife would not let him live it down for the rest of his life.I stood up，shook my head，and laughing about it all walked into my house.

Arthur Miller (1915－2005)is universally recognized as one of the greatest dramatists of the 20th century.Miller's father had moved to the USA from Austria-Hungary，drawn like so many others by the “Great American Dream”．However，he experienced severe financial hardship when his family business was ruined in the Great Depression of the early 1930s.
Miller's most famous play，Death of a Salesman，is a powerful attack on the American system，with its aggressive way of doing business and its insistence on money and social status as indicators of worth.In Willy Loman，the hero of the play，we see a man who has got into trouble with this system.Willy is “burnt out” and in the cruel world of business there is no room for sentiment：if he can't do the work，then he is no good to his employer，the Wagner Company，and he must go.Willy is painfully aware of this，and at a loss as to what to do with his lack of success.He refuses to face the fact that he has failed and kills himself in the end.
When it was first staged in 1949，the play was greeted with enthusiastic reviews, and it won the Tony Award for Best Play，the New York Drama Critics' Circle Award，and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.It was the first play to win all three of these major awards.
Miller died of heart failure at his home in Roxbury，Connecticut, on the evening of February 10,2005，the 56th anniversary of the first performance of Death of a Salesman on Broadway.

Today，we complete our story about the influential English writer William Shakespeare.He wrote plays and poems during the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries，which remain very popular today.
During earlier times，people would probably have learned several ancient Roman and Greek plays.It was not unusual for writers to produce more current versions of these works.For example，in Shakespeare's play “The Comedy of Errors”，Shakespeare borrowed certain details from the ancient Roman writer Plautus.For his play “Macbeth”，Shakespeare most likely used a work on Scottish history by Raphael Holinshed for information.Shakespeare might have borrowed from other writers，but the intensity of his imagination and language made the plays his own.While many plays by other writers of his time have been forgotten，Shakespeare and his art live on.
Shakespeare was also influenced by the world around him.He described the sights and sounds of London in his plays.His works include observations about political struggles，the fear of diseases，and the popular language of the city's tradesmen.Shakespeare's knowledge of the English countryside is also clear.His works include descriptions of deep forests，local flowers，and the ancient popular traditions of rural people.
It would be impossible to list all of the ways in which Shakespeare's works have influenced the world culture.But the first and greatest example would be his great influence on the English language.During his time，the English language was changing.Many new words from other languages were being added.Shakespeare used his sharp mind and poetic (富诗意的) inventiveness to create hundreds of new words and rework old ones.For example，he created the noun forms of “critic”，“mountaineer” and “eyeball”．Many common expressions in English come from his plays，including “pomp and circumstance(隆重的仪式)” from “Othello” ，“full circle (绕圈子)” from “King Lear”，etc.The list of cultural creations influenced by Shakespeare is almost endless.From paintings to television to music and dance，Shakespeare was well represented.Shakespeare's plays have been translated into every major language in the world.
Shakespeare became a well-known writer during a golden age of theater.His years of hard work paid off.
36．What can we infer from the passage?
A．Many of Shakespeare's works were influenced by earlier writings.
B．Shakespeare was hard-working when he was a student.
C．The experience of living in London helped a lot with Shakespeare's works.
D．Shakespeare became rich later because of the popularity of his works.
37．Shakespeare might have learnt some information from ancient Roman works in________.
A．“King Lear” B．“The Comedy of Errors”
C．“Macbeth” D．“Othello”
38．Why could Shakespeare's works survive his time?
A．Because there were so few people writing plays in his time.
B．Because he produced too many works that nobody else could do.
C．Because he was a rich and influential person of his time.
D．Because his works were rich in imagination and language.
39．Shakespeare's greatest influence should be on ________.
A．the English language
B．paintings
C．television
D．music and dance
40．The passage is mainly about________.
A．an introduction to Shakespeare's life and his works
B．the main features and styles of Shakespeare's plays
C．how culture influenced Shakespeare and he influenced culture
D．Shakespeare's greatest influence on the world culture

Whether you're studying for a test，reviewing paperwork for your job，or trying to understand a journal article，reading comprehension is involved in.Unfortunately，when the reading material is difficult，our reading comprehension can suffer.Learning to comprehend what you read can help you prevent wasting time as well as make you more productive(富有成效的) on the job or at school.
The things you already know are important for understanding things you're going to learn.Before you begin reading something on a new topic，think about what you already know about it and how what you are reading might build upon that.
Since kindergarten，we've all been told to keep a dictionary nearby when reading，but few of us follow this advice.If you are not absolutely certain of the meaning of a word，look it up.You'll not only make reading easier；you'll also improve your vocabulary.
If you are reading especially challenging material，try taking notes.If you write while you are reading，reading will become boring and your comprehension will go downhill.Instead，make an outline at the end of each paragraph or sentence.
Someone thinks that speed reading is very popular，and certainly has its place.However，from my point of view，it's a terrible idea if you want to learn.Besides，speed reading will cost you more time because you will have to go back and review if you understand what you have read quickly.Focus on quality reading rather than quick reading，and take frequent breaks if you begin to get distracted(注意力分散的)．
When reading something boring，it's easy to just read the words without even understanding what they mean.At such times，just find a way to relate to the material.Write down questions，and look up concepts online to get alternative perspectives.Your comprehension will improve and you'll be less likely to need to reread.
41．The passage is intended to teach students how to ________.

Today，more snack bars than ever before can be seen in all residential areas and downtown.Chinese food is always sold side by side with foreign one；for example，noodles，rice and fried mutton are served on the same table. Why does fast food enjoy so great popularity?
The reasons are of different types.First of all，having snacks is economical of money compared with formal meals.The cost of less than 100 yuan only reflects the ordinary level of a formal meal，while as much as 10 yuan is enough to satisfy one's appetite at most snack bars.Next，convenience weighs heavily.In a snack bar，you don't have to pretend to be graceful，and you may also take your meal away，which helps save you much time.Last，diverse features of fast food form a good attraction.For example，in Xi'an，Shanxi food along with Sichuan food and typical food in Northeast China are within your easy reach.
Obviously，fast food adds great convenience to our life.With its further improvement in all sides，snacks will surely be enjoyed by more people from all walks of life.

Fast food develops fast nowadays because it is economic，convenient and there are different kinds of food to meet different flavors. It will become more and more popular in the future.
I admit that fast food is cheap and convenient.You can fill your stomach easily without paying too much.And you don't have to pretend to be graceful when you do want to.You can decide what you want to eat.But every coin has two sides. Fast food also has troubles.The most worrying one is whether fast food is clean or not. In order to gain a greater profit，some snack bars try every means to reduce the cost.Some even adopts illegal means.It is not easy for the customers to be aware of what they are eating.Maybe you will ask，“What about KFC or McDonald's？”My suggestion is that you'd better eat less.Foods in KFC and McDonald's contain much fat.They also cause health problems.
In a word，I don't suggest people eat too much fast food.To keep healthy，we have to pay attention to our habit of diet.

Whether it's a carol(圣诞颂歌) service or an evening of karaoke in the pub，many people will enjoy a good old singsong this Christmas.Singing aloud will not just lift the spirits－it's good for your physical health as well.Filling the lungs with air，increasing the heart rate and getting blood pumping round the body faster can all help our physical health.
For the past few years Heart Research UK has been running a Christmas campaign aimed at getting people singing，simply for the benefit it can bring.The organizer of the campaign says singing is a safe，simple and social activity that everyone can enjoy.“Singing is linked to long life，stress reduction，and general health protection.It also brings a great amount of happiness.It is impossible to sing well with a long face because it affects your pitch(音高)．”
Professor Graham Welch，who leads the International Music Education Research Centre at the University of London，has spent more than 30 years studying the effects of singing.He says that singing is a form of exercise.It means we're also having a strong aerobic activity(有氧运动) when we're singing，which results in increasing the feeling of pleasure while decreasing that of stress.
“And communal singing－like in a singing group，a church service or even a singsong in the pub－helps improve our sense of self-respect.It increases our sense of satisfaction with ourselves，a greater sense of feeling included.”
Helen Astrid，a singing teacher，also sees the great effects that singing brings.“It lifts us up on a spiritual level，it helps out self-respect，and it's great for all ages from small kids to grannies－you can have a good sing and let_your_hair_down.”
But she warns people not to have too many beers or glasses of wine，though a glass may help them gather courage before taking to the stage during the holidays.
