READING 1
He has been ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )called the emerging (崭露头角的) star of European football and has recently signed with Spain’s Real Madrid. At 21 years old, Mesut Ozil like a kid who has won a license to consume all he can in the world’s biggest sweet shop.
Why does he find himself in such a happy position
“Grasp every opport ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )unity that comes to you,” Ozil said in an interview with the Real official website. “I’ve been able to show what I am capable of doing in the last couple of years. Playing in international tournaments such as the World Cup exposes you and makes you better known. ”
Germany finishe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d third in South Africa, but Ozil’s performance made Real’s new boss Jose Mourinho offer him a contract. Ozil told ESPN that he couldn’t believe it when he turned up for training and saw some of the biggest names in world football.
But life is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) not always so easy for a starter in a foreign country. Language is a big problem. “I have to keep learning and pushing myself. There will be no hiding place for me at Real and this is part of the challenge,” he told ESPN.
Dealing ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) with pressure is an issue that goes beyond the club level to Ozil’s national duty. On October 8, Germany played Euro 2012 qualifier against Turkey. It was more than a game for Ozil, who is Germany born-and-bred to Turkish parents. Only last year, he chose to play for Germany instead of Turkey.
“Of course ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) this is a very special game for me as I play against my friends,” he told Reuters. “But there is no room for emotion.”
Ozil didn’t sing the national anthem, though. “When the anthem is playing, I always focus on the game ahead,” he said.
1. What does th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e writer mean by the underlined sentence in the first paragraph
A. He is so outstanding that good teams want him to join in.
B. He is a lov ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ely boy that he can go to every sweet shop to consume for free.
C. He has a special position so that he can buy what he wants.
D. He has the right to get what he wants.
2. What’s the good chance to Ozil
A. He can grasp every opportunity that comes to him.
B. He can play in international tournaments and show himself.
C. He can be admitted to Spain’s Real Madrid and train with world famous players.
D. He has been called the emerging star of European football.
3. Where does Ozil come from
A. Spain. B. Brazil. C. Turkey. D. Germany.
4. From the passage, we know that __________.
A. Ozil isn’t good at Spanish.
B. Turkey finished third in South Africa World Cup.
C. Ozil’s parents are Germans.
D. Ozil doesn’t love his homeland.
READING 2
US citizens are trying to lower their debts. They are trying to spend less and to save more. They are trying, in short, to be more like Germans.
“Living in ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Dallas, it’s very easy to become addicted to shopping,” said Raoul Winches, 41, a German sales manager who was in Grapevine, Texas in 2008 and 2009. He has a marketer’s eye for what consumers like.
Germans live c ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )omfortably spending much less than US citizens. In 2007, the average Dallas family spent $54,334 on daily necessities; a German family typically spent less than $34,000.
After moving to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Texas, Winchers found himself surrounded with temptation.
“In Germany, you would not buy a TV table or a TV chair, ” Winches said. “ In the States, I bought a recliner (躺椅) . It was like flying business class while you watch TV. ”
The price ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s were certainly attractive. The cost of goods in Germany is a third more than in the United States. US citizens pay much less in Social Security and income taxes as well.
“In Gra ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )pevine, I always felt you are paying the right price. I don’t feel that in Germany. ”
Germans pay twi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ce as much for petrol but drive much less. In Texas, Winches and his wife had two cars. In Berlin, they don't own one. They use public transportation.
“Americans are ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) dining; out all the time,” Winches said. “People just go to the restaurants, and then the shops located with them.”
“In Germany,” ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he said, “shoppers go out in search of a specific product and stop when they find it. US citizens shop to shop. ”
Another big difference was that the Winches shopped with cash but not credit. That’s a habit reflected in German’s high savings rate. In 2007, German families saved 16.7 percent of their after-tax income. Americans saved 5.2 percent.
Germans are ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) worried about having enough to live on during retirement.
Winches said the aging problem in Germany was more serious than in The US. “Within 20 years, most of us in Germany will be in our 60s and 70s,” he said.
So can US citizens become more like Germans
1. What does the underlined word “ temptation” mean
A. Cheat. ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) B. Discouragement. C. Attraction. D. Mistakes.
2. Which difference between Americans and Germans is true according to the passage
A. Germans use cars more often. B. Germans are crazy about shopping.
C. Americans a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )re in higher debts. D. Americans seldom eat outside.
3. The question in the last paragraph is to __________.
A. impress the readers B. express the author’s doubt.
C. keep the writing going D. get the readers’ attention

Elephants scored a big win in 2010. Representatives from 175 countries at the United Nations’ Convention on the International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) in Doha, Qatar, rejected a bid to allow the sale of ivory. Two African nations, Tanzania and Zambia, had asked to open the ivory trade.
Conservati ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )onists feared that weakening a 21-year-old ban on the sale of ivory would have encouraged illegal hunting and hurt elephant populations. African elephants once numbered in the millions. Today, there are fewer than 500,000.
“People born in ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) 100 years ago should be able to see an elephant, ” said Noah Wekesa, Kenya’s minister of forestry and wildlife. His country voted to keep the ban.
In the 1980 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s, as many as one million elephants were killed throughout Africa. Hunters killed the animals for their ivory tusks, which were used to make jewelry and other items. “ The slaughter(残杀) of elephants in Africa was just terrible, ” says Paul Todd of the International Fund for Animl Welfare ( IFAW ). The group works to protect animals.
The ivor ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y wars continued until 1989, when CITES voted to ban all trade in ivory. With trade controlled, demand for ivory fell. Elephant populations began to increase slowly.
Tanzania and ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Zambia asked CITES to allow ivory sales from government stockpiles (库存). Ivory is so expensive that it’s known as “white gold”. Tanzania holds almost 200,000 pounds of ivory, which is worth as much as $20 million. Zambia has 48,000 pounds of the “white gold”. The two countries argued that their ivory had been taken from hunters or had come from animals that died naturally. They said this income from the sale of ivory would help the countries.
Wildlife ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )experts, who believe that the ivory trade encourages illegal hunting, cheered the CITES decision. “It’s a rare victory for elephants,” said Jason Bell-Leask, the IFAW’s director for southern Africa.

Have you ever tho ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ught of taking a train and having an adventure(奇遇)？Riding the train can be a real adventure. That is how I feel every time I take Amtrak. I often take a four-hour trip to visit my children. Every timeＩtake this trip I never know what will happen.
Last week when I was ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )on the train and over an hour into the train ride, there was a man sitting by himself in the back of the train carrying on a mobile phone conversation--- in another language. It was loud and disturbed most of the people on the train. I think it was annoying.
Fortunately I sat ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) next to a wonderful old lady who was taking a two-day trip by train. She said her two daughters were worried at the thought of driving for three days to reach her home, although she had no trouble driving. The train ride was the only choice for her. She loved to look out of the window and watch the world go by on the train.
She was fun to talk ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) to and asked me when my children started being parents. That is a very good question. Both of us are old and have children. She asked that same question from time to time.
There are always ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) many people on the train from all walks of life, different countries, and many languages. Riding the train is a great way to increase your knowledge and take in all kinds of cultures. If you get hungry, you can buy food in the food car at any time. If you need to use the rest room there is always one available.
It sure beats driv ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ing the car, which has to stop for food and restrooms. And it is better than taking the bus.
