While vampire （吸血鬼）stories first appeared
hundreds of years ago, they have never been more popular than they are today.
Stephenie Meyer is best known for her best-selling Twilight series. The
four books have been translated into more than 50 languages and made into five hit
movies.
So what is it about these drinkers of human blood that continues to
interest us
Arlene Russo, writer of The Real Twilight:True Stories of Modern Day
Vampires, is not surprised by the success of Twilight, " Why
wouldn't you be interested in a creature （生物）that
never grows old and lives forever Isn't that what most people really want The
secret of staying young forever " she said in an interview.
But in the eyes of British researcher Deborah L. Wells, the reason that
vampires never die is that they change with our culture. " We create very
different vampires to fit different times, "she said. "Edward Cullen,
leading vampire in Twilight, not the same as Count Dracula in Bram
Stoker s 1897 novel Dracula. "
Different as they are. Wells believes vampires are " the perfect way
for us to look at our own worries". Stoker's Dracula is powerful, yet old
and ugly. The Irish writer's book is really about the fear of the fall of the
British Empire.
31．What does the underlined word "hit" in Paragraph 2 mean
A．Terrible. B．Strong. C．Popular. D．Scary.
32．Why are people still interested in vampires according to Wells
A．Because vampires are what people want to be.
B．Because vampires change as time goes by.
C．Because vampires can stay young forever.
D．Because vampires are very much like us.
33．Which of the following is TRUE
A．Stephenie Meyer is the best vampire story writer of all time.
B．Vampire stories are a product of modern culture.
C．Vampire stories are mainly about worries.
D．Vampire stories are different in different times.

In Britain, Boxing Day
is usually celebrated on December 26th, which is the following day
after Christmas Day. However, strictly speaking, Boxing Day is the first
weekday after Christmas. Like Christmas Day, Boxing Day is a public holiday.
This means it's a non-working day in the whole of Britain. When Boxing Day
falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the following Monday is the public holiday.
The exact origin of
the holiday is unclear. One of the thoughts is that during the Middle. Ages, when
great sailing ships were setting off to discover new land, a Christmas Box was
placed by a priest (神父) on each ship. Those
sailors who wanted to ensure a safe return would drop money into the box. It
was sealed up and kept on board until the ship came home safely. Then
the box was handed over to the priest in exchange for the saying of a mass of thanks
for the success of the sailing. The priest wouldn't open it to share the
contents with the poor until Christmas.
One more thought is
about the" Alms Box" placed in every church on Christmas Day.
Worshippers( 做礼拜的人) put gifts for the poor
into it. These boxes were always opened the day after Christmas, and that is
why that day became known as Boxing Day.
Today, many businesses,
organizations and families try to keep the traditional spirit of Boxing Day
alive by donating their time, services and money to aid Food Banks,
providing gifts for the poor, or helping families in need. Besides， spending time with family and shopping are popular Boxing Day activities
now.
34．If Christmas Day is on a Saturday, Boxing Day will be celebrated on .
A．December 25th B．December 26th C．December 27th D．December 28th
35．Sailors dropped money into the Christmas Box in order to .
A．save the poor B．pay for the priest
C．discover new land D．pray for sailing safety
36．What does the underlined phrase "sealed up" mean
A．Covered with something. B．Hung up.
C．Gave back to. D．Passed on.
37．Which of the following is TRUE
A．Only families are trying to keep the traditional spirit of Boxing Day alive.
B．On Boxing Day, most people will go shopping with families.
C．Offering gifts to the poor can show the traditional spirit of Boxing Day.
D．Food Banks will donate food to people in need on Boxing Day.
38．The purpose of the passage is to .
A．praise the kindness of priests
B．introduce the origins of Boxing Day
C．call on people to help the poor
D．compare Boxing Day with Christmas Day

What do you call a school with no tests, no
grades, no classes, and no teachers Students of the Met School and their
parents think it to be the best school in the world.
The school is in Rhode Island, the USA. Dennis
Littky opened it in 1996. He was fired from two other schools, because
many parents of the school students were unhappy with his unusual ideas. The
Met School gives Littky a great place to try out his new ideas. The school
takes poor kids who are failing at school. Nearly everybody has already given
up these students and their parents want to try anything.
"The word that most kids use when they
talk about high school is 'boring', " says Littky, "But no one would
say the Met was boring. " Advisors (not teachers) work with small groups
of students for four years. Students spend almost half of their school time
learning real-life skills, such as working for business, spending time with
government people, and helping teach younger children. Instead of tests, the
students give shows about their work outside school.
In fact, students work harder here than in
other schools. All the students from the Met graduate and can choose to go to a
good university. Now, Bill Gates is starting schools like this one around the
USA.

64．【答案】Dear Jack,
I'm glad to get your letter! I understand that learning Chinese is more difficult than learning English. But there are still some ways to help.
First, we should have a right study plan and be good at thinking and solving different kinds of problems with the help of reference books, such as dictionaries and study guides. We also have to review and think about what we have learned, take every chance to learn and make use of all kinds of learning resources.
As a saying goes, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. "We should balance the time to study and relax. Do remember that being hard-working and having good ways to learn are the keys to success.
Hope things work out.
Yours,
Li Hua
