In England nobody under eighteen years old is allowed to drink in a bar（酒吧）. Mr. Thompson often went to a bar near his house. But he never took his son, Tom, because he was too young.

Then Mr. Thompson said to his son, “Now, Tom, I want to teach you a useful lesson. How do you know when you’ve had enough? Well, I’ll tell you. Did you see those two lights at the end of the bar? When they seem to become four, you’ve had enough and should go home.”

B
Every morning my father buys a newspaper on his way to work. Every evening my mother looks through magazines at home. And every night, I look at the posters with photos of David Beckham and Yao Ming on my bedroom wall before I go to sleep. Can we imagine life without paper or print?
Paper was first created about 2,000 years ago, and has been made from silk, cotton, bamboo, and, since the 19th century, from wood. People learned to write words on paper to make a book. But in those days，books could only be produced one at a time by hand. As a result，they were expensive and rare. And because there weren’t many books, few people learned to read.
Then printing was invented in China. When printing was developed greatly at the beginning of the 11th century, books could be produced more quickly and cheaply. As a result, more people learned to read. After that，knowledge and ideas spread quickly.
Today information can be received online, downloaded from the Internet rather than found in books, and information can be kept on CD-ROMs or machines such as MP3 players.
Computers are already used in classrooms, and newspapers and magazines can already be read online. So will books be replaced by computers one day? No, I don’t think the Yao Ming poster on my bedroom wall will ever be replaced by a computer two metres high！
( )6.What does the writer do before he goes to sleep?
A. He reads books. B. He reads newspapers.
C. He looks through magazines. D. He looks at the posters on the wall.
( )7.When was paper first created?
A. About 2,000 years ago. B. In the 19th century.
C. About 1,000 years ago. D. In the 11th century.
( )8.Why were books expensive and rare before the invention of printing?
A. People could not read.
B. People could not write words on paper.
C. People could not find silk, cotton or bamboo.
D. People could only produce books one at a time by hand.
( )9.What happened after books became cheaper?
A. People didn’t want to buy books.
B. Printing was invented in China.
C. Knowledge and ideas spread quickly.
D. The Internet was introduced to people soon.
( )10.What is the writer’s opinion（观点） about books and computers?
People won’t need books any more.
B. Books won’t be replaced by computers.
C. People prefer to find information in books.
D. Computers have already replaced books.

八、阅读短文, 根据短文内容回答问题。(共10分，每小题2分)
People communicate(沟通) in many different ways. The most common way is by talking with others. Except for talking, we can also use body languages. When we use body languages, we need to use body to show what we mean. Sign language (手势语) is a kind of body language. Let's see more about it.
Sign language is popular among those people who are unable to speak or don't want to speak. If you want to communicate with a foreigner, but you can't speak his language and he can't speak Chinese, what can you do? Maybe you can communicate by making signs. Now let's learn some signs Indians often use.
● When they are hungry, they move their right hands back and forth (往返,来回) in front of their stomachs(胃).
● When they mean "Let's eat", they put their right hands and move them up and down in front of their mouths.
● When they have had enough, they part their thumbs and first fingers, and move their hands from their chests to chins.
● If they have a stomachache(胃疼), they put both hands on their stomachs, and move them back and forth.
根据短文内容，完成下列小题。
1. Do people use body language to communicate?
2. What do we need to do when we use body language?
3. How can you communicate with a foreigner if you can't speak his language?
4. What do Indians do to show they are hungry?
5. What does the passage mainly tell us?
