In the past few decades, Japanese cuisine(烹饪) has acquired global appeal. Japanese restaurants have sprung up almost all over the world. In Kyoto, the Heihachi Tea House boasts a 430-year-old tradition that the owners have kept all in the family. The tea house has been operated by twenty generations of the Sonobe family.
The Heihachi Tea House, in the northern part of Kyoto, is one of the city's oldest business establishments. It is said to have opened in 1576. The present owner, Sonobe Heihachi, who is also the chef, represents the 20th generation of the Sonobe family to oversee the tea house.
Sonobe Heihachi, restaurant owner, said, “During the middle of the Edo era, from 1603 to 1868, it became customary for commoners to dine in mat rooms. The Heihachi Tea House specialized in a dish comprised of rice with barley(大麦). It then became an inn and a little later, a restaurant.”
Like every other chef, Sonobe Heihachi's day often begins at the market where he personally selects ingredients that will be served to his customers. The restaurant specializes in a style of cuisine known as Kaiseki Ryori—possibly the ultimate in Japanese cooking. It offers both fresh and ocean fishes on its menu, including bream and eels. The owner's son Sonobe Shingo is also an accomplished chef. His skills include the elaborate cutting of a “daikon” radish (萝卜) into strips. Later they will be shredded into thin strands to form part of the garnish（装饰菜） for sashimi.
Sonobe Shingo admits that when it comes to the small details of running the business, father and son have different ways of thinking. Sometimes they clash.
But they share a passion for what they do and continue to preserve an innovative and deeply rooted culinary（烹饪的） tradition.

Today, whether or not you follow the latest trends, one's fashion and choice of dress is a reflection of one's individual style and tastes. Can you still remember how you dressed at the start of China's opening-up? Today's program is one of a special series commemorating （纪念） the 30th anniversary of reform and opening-up in China. In these two episodes we focused on fashion and style and were honored to invite two special guests to join us in studio—Ms. Zhang Ling from Raffles-BICT Inter-national College and Alex from Esquire magazine.
When we talk about fashion, color is absolutely crucial. A color can reflect the mood of an individual person or the spiritual temperament（性情） of entire society or age. Mrs. Zhang and Alex talked about the colors which have left the greatest impression on them. In the 1960s and 70s, blue and grey were the dominant colors at the time and people had limited choices to dress up. But fast forward to the present, you will find no difficulty in choosing from array(大批) of vivid colors in the market.
We also gave our guests a list of keywords—traditional brands, jeans, DIY, international brands, personal dress for them to choose from in order to represent the fashion of their generation. We find out that for every keyword our guest chose, there was a special story behind it. Some of the stories brought us back to old times—we even brought some vintage(古老的) clothing from the 60s and 70s up on stage and invited some audience members to try them on.
When we mention fashion, we must mention brand. With increasing disposable（可自由使用的） income and purchasing power of the Chinese, many luxury brands have flocked into China. However, you could imagine in 1980s, when the first inter-national brand came to China, it unveiled（展示） a fashion storm among the Chinese.
40. China's opening-up dates back to _______.
A. the 1960s B. the 1970s C. the 1980s D. the 1990s
41. All of the following EXCEPT _______ are keywords in representing the fashion of our generation.
A. traditional brands B. international brands
C. personal dress D. special stories
42. The fact that many luxury brands have flocked into China shows that _______.
A. China has given up its own culture
B. Chinese have been tired of array of vivid colors in the markets
C. Chinese have increased their disposable income and purchasing power
D. China has grown tired of its traditional brands

“Buy-A-Something” Campaign
One way to request for general donations is to tie it into a campaign like “Buy-A-Brick to Help Build a School in Bolivia”. Make sure you have some literature to give people as well as a registration form(登记表) that includes name, address, and how many bricks the person purchased.
University Funds
If you are a student, one major source of funding is your own college or university. Many school clubs can raise a certain amount of funds through student activities. See if your club is suitable.
Letter Writing
One of the most effective ways of raising money is to do a letter campaign to as many relatives, friends, former teachers, etc. as possible. Sending a detailed letter to over 100 friends and relatives explaining the program and what you hope to accomplish while you're on it will help you reach your goal.
Parties, Dances, Music
Use the “Who Do You Know” principle. Do you have a friend in a band? Do you know the owner of a bar or restaurant? Some simple events include playing in a band at a club, and your group gets the cover charge or a percentage of the drink sales.
Exhibitions
This is limited to people with professional art genius. If you are an artist, you can ask friends to help you hold exhibitions and donate your profit to charity or give people who need financial help.
Note: Please remember there are some people who are not so lucky as we are and it's our duty to help them.

In the United States, elementary and middle schools are advised to give students two and a half hours of physical activity a week.
Yet many schools across the country have reduced their physical education programs. Criticism（批评） of the cuts has led in some places to efforts to give students more time for exercise, not less.
A study reported that life expectancy（寿命） has fallen or is no longer increasing in some parts of the United States. The situation is worst among poor people in the southern states, and especially women. Public health researchers say it is largely the result of increases in obesity（肥胖）, smoking and high blood pressure. They also blame differences in health services around the country.
A study found that only four percent of elementary schools provided daily physical education all year for all grades. This was true of eight percent of middle schools and two percent of high schools. The study also found that twenty-two percent of all schools did not require students to take any P.E.
Charlene Burgeson is the executive director of the National Association for Sport and Physical Education. She says one problem for P.E. teachers is that schools are under pressure to put more time into academic subjects. Also, parents may agree that children need exercise in school.
But experts say P.E. classes have changed. They say the goal has moved away from competition and toward personal performance, as a way to build a lifetime of activity. These days, teachers often lead activities like weight training.
Some parents like the idea of avoiding competitive sports in P.E. class. Yet others surely dislike that idea. In the end, schools may find themselves in a no-win situation.
52. How many reasons have caused some Americans' life expectancy to fall?
A. Three. B. Four. C. Five. D. Six.
53. The underlined part “that idea” (the last paragraph) refers to _______.
A. competitive sports B. a lifetime of activity
C. no-win situation D. uncompetitive exercise
54. From the passage we can infer that _______.
A. physically active children have more chances to be fit when growing up
B. most American schools let students take physical activity enough
C. the older a student is, the less exercise he gets
D. not all parents think exercise is good for students
55. The passage mainly tells us about _______.
A. school and students' health B. how to make children healthy
C. American schools' physical education D. American students' health

When I was a young child, my parents often told me that it was time that taught a man everything. I didn't understand and wondered why 36 had such a big influence 37 a person. I thought I could grow up quickly to find it out as an adult. But now, 38 I come to knock at the door of adulthood, I feel 39 to express my own 40 on this saying. I know that I am just a high school student with very few experiences. There are still many things 41

I once read this sentence, “To make this world a happy place in which to live, you had better
42 yourself and your heart, instead of the whole world.” I was shocked. It made me think about 43 itself. There are so many things around us that 44 our will. We can't force life to follow our wishes. The earth won't stop turning no matter whether we 45 it or not. What we can do is just to make 46 suit the world. I think we should learn to accept 47

Tears are nature's way of making us feel more comfortable. When our eyes is made uncomfortable by some small pieces of pollution , or when we are cutting onions, or when we are exhausted and “red-eyes” from over work and late hours, tears form in our eyes to clean and refresh them.
Tears are also a sign of strong emotion. We cry when we are sad and we cry when we are happy.
And tears seem to be uniquely human. We know that animals also experience emotion fear, pleasure, loneliness, but they do not shed (流) tears.
Biologically speaking, tears are actually drops of saline fluid, which is a little bit salty, produced by a gland (腺) in the body. Because salt is an important component, tears may actually constitute the most conclusive evidence that the human animal is the end product of a long evolutionary process that began in the sea.
And it is clear that, in addition to the emotional benefits, the shedding of tears has a specific biological fun_ction as well. Through tears, we can eliminate from our body certain chemicals which build up in response to stress and create a chemical imbalance in the body. Crying actually makes us feel better by correcting that imbalance and making us feel good again. And thus the emotional and the biological functions of tears merge (合并) into one and make us even more “human” than we would otherwise be.
56．According to the passage, human beings may have originated in ____.
A．the sea B．the salt C．chemicals D．animals
57．Which of the following is NOT a fun_ction of tears?
A．Biological. B．Emotional. C．Political. D． Chemical.
58．According to the article, which of the following is unique to humans?
A．The feeling of loneliness. B．The state of feeling good.
C．The ability to shed tears. D．The feeling of fear.
59．The underlined word “eliminate” probably means ____.
A．add B．produce C．replace D．remove
60．Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A．Tears are a sign of strong emotion.
B．Tears are always making us feel more comfortable.
C．Tears are uniquely human.
D．Tears have certain biological fun_ction.

The railroad industry could not have grown as large as it did without steel. The first rails were made of iron. But iron rails were not strong enough to support heavy trains running at a high speed. Railroad officials wanted to replace them with steel rails because steel was ten or fifteen times stronger and lasted twenty times longer. Before the 1870s, however, steel was too expensive to be widely used. It was made by a slow and expensive process of heating, stirring, and reheating iron ore (矿石).
Then the inventor Henry Bessemer discovered that directing a blast of air at melted iron in a furnace (熔炉) would burn out the impurities (杂质) that made the iron brittle (易脆). As the air shot through the furnace, the bubbling metal would erupt (喷发) in showers of sparks. When the fire cooled, the metal had been changed, or converted, to steel. The Bessemer converter made possible the mass production of steel, now three to five tons of iron could be changed into steel in a matter of minutes.
Just when the demand for more and more steel developed, prospectors discovered huge new deposits (矿床) of iron ore in the Mesabi Range, a 120-mile-long region in Minnesota near Lake Superior. The Mesabi deposits were so near the surface that they could be mined with steam shovels.
Barges and steamers carried the iron ore through Lake Superior to deposits on the southern shores of Lake Michigan and Lake Erie. With dizzying speed Gary, Indiana and Toledo, Youngstown, and Cleveland, Ohio, became major steel manufacturing centers. Pittsburgh was the greatest steel city of all.
61．The best title for the passage is ____.
A．The railroad Industry B．Famous Inventors
C．Changing Iron into Steel D．Steel Manufacturing Centers
62．According to the passage, how did the Bessemer method make the mass production of steel possible?
A．It directed air at melted iron in furnace, removing all impurities.
B．It slowly heated iron ore, then stirred it and heated it again.
C．It changed iron ore into iron, which was a substitute (替代物) for steel.
D．It could be quickly found deposits of iron ore under the ground.
63．It can be inferred from the passage that the mass production of steel caused ____.
A．a decline in the railroad industry B．a revolution in the industrial world
C．an increase in the price of steel D．a feeling of discontent among steel workers

For new countries joining the European Union, and older ones getting used to their burgundy passports, becoming “Europeans” is a bit like marrying into a large, eccentric (古怪的) family. Europeans have a lot in common but it is their differences, not their similarities, which attract the attention of sociologists (社会学家) and market researchers, that are more interesting.
35% of Germans live alone; but only 9% of Spaniards. Perhaps this explains why Spaniards lead Europe in the habit of going out for a drink.
The British attend more adult evening classes than anyone else in Europe, and the Belgians least. So it can't just be the dark evenings. There are no figures on how many Britons go for a drink afterwards. If there were, they might be up at the top with Spain!
The British think black cats are lucky. Every other European country regards them unlucky.
The Dutch and Germans are the greatest caravanners（活动房居住者）, but the Germans like bigger beds in their caravans.
The French are the most athletic Europeans. Next come the Dutch. But the Belgians, just over the border, play fewest sports.
The Germans spend twice as much on heating as the Spaniards. Well, of course they do; it's colder.
Dutch husbands do the household shopping a lot more often than Italians or Spaniards.
The French are the champion public transport commuters （使用月票者）of Europe. If you hate commuting, go and live in the Netherlands, where journeys to work are shorter than anywhere else.
The amount of direct eye-contact between strangers is three times greater among Spaniards than it is among the British or Swedish. Sharing a lift is torture (折磨) for both the British and the Swedish.
No European countries really agree with any other about how to make good coffee. All of them are different.
There are exceptions to all these rules. Deal with them in the spirit of my 8-year-old daughter. “If you don't understand each other's language, you just laugh a lot, and eat, and point at things.”

The latest United Nations report on the AIDS spread paints a sad picture. It concludes that the regions of the world most affected by AIDS will experience rapid increases in deaths among young adults. This will have serious social and economic results.
The spread of AIDS and the virus that causes it, HIV, is particularly destructive in Africa. It is estimated that in sub-Saharan Africa, over twenty-four million adults and children are now living with HIV. In sixteen sub-Saharan countries, according to the UN, at least ten percent of the people between the age of fifteen and forty-nine are HIV positive (阳性). In South Africa and Zimbabwe, half the people between those ages may die of AIDS. In Botswana, about one in three adults is infected, and some two-thirds of the country's fifteen-year-old boys may die before they grow up.
As a result, agriculture, business, education, and health care are already suffering serious loses. The United States is spending millions of dollars to do it. Funding is being used for prevention campaigns and to make AIDS treatment more affordable. Money is also being used to reduce mother-to-child transmission rates; support home and community based care, and provide care for children orphaned by AIDS. The Peace Corps will soon make an all out effort to bring AIDS education to the countries most at risk. It is important that the governments and citizens of those nations most affected by AIDS do their part to fight against it. Some, like Senegal and Uganda, have already begun programs for disease prevention. These countries are experiencing falling or stable HIV rates and less suffering. But for other nations, much remains to be done.
67．The report shows that __ __.
A．more places are affected by AIDS B．more deaths are caused by AIDS
C．more young adults are dying of AIDS D．the spread of AIDS can never be controlled
68．Which of the following statements is true?

B．In sub-Saharan Africa, 90% of the population are not affected by AIDS.
C．In South Africa and Zimbabwe, 50% of the population may die of AIDS.
D．In Botswana, one-third of the grown-ups are infected by AIDS
69．The money used to fight against AIDS doesn't include that for ____.
A．prevention and treatment B．reduction of mother-to-child transmission
C．home and community based care D．orphans infected by AIDS
70． The phrase "at risk" in the passage probably means "_____".
A．likely to be affected by AIDS B．dangerous
C．poor in medical care D．poor in education
71． ______ have (has) done better in prevention and treatment for AIDS.

Topic: Addiction Structure: spend, pay, get bankrupt, get sent to prison, be addicted to
[1] The word addiction usually makes you think of alcohol or drugs, but in modern-day society we are seeing some new kinds of addictions. Some people are compulsive (难以自制的) shoppers. Others find it impossible to pull themselves away from their work. Still others spend countless hours watching TV or playing computer games.
[2] Over the years, shopping has become a very common activity. Many people enjoy going to stores more and more every day, but it's more than a common hobby for some of them. They have turned into shopaholics. They are people who simply enjoy shopping and walking around spending money without being able to stop doing it. They are booked on shopping and usually buy things that they don't need. Even though they don't have enough money, they buy everything they want.
[3] The question is, why do they have this addiction? There isn't a specific answer. Some people go shopping when they are sad, worried, upset or lonely and they want to feel better.

They also tend to have this addiction when they feel guilty.
