Most people love to lose themselves in a great book，maybe a classic novel，a modern storybook or a great work of history.But many people also live busy lives，and for them finding time to sit quietly and read is different，if not impossible.Fortunately，with the coming of the Internet an high?tech tools like the iPod，more and more people are making literature a part of their lives again.
A very special website now makes it possible for people to listen to books that they simply would not have time to read.The site is called Audible Inc.，and it’s the best place to download audio books.Over the past few years，hundreds of thousands of these books have been recorded.They include nearly every classic，as well as most newly?published ones.Most of these are read by voice actors who really bring the text to life.
Audible Inc.lets you easily and quickly download a book and load it onto your iPod or other MP3 players，or onto CDs so that you can listen in your car.The site is like Amazon.com，but for audio books.It includes thousands of recommendations and customer reviews that are extremely helpful.The site lets you listen to a free piece of each book so you can tell ahead what the narrator(讲述者) sounds like.No wonder that most people who listen to an audio book for the first time are immediately attracted.
This is the perfect opportunity to find out what so many people know about audio books.But be careful—you may become attracted to audio books for life.
24．Who might be most interested in Audible Inc.?
A．People who have iPods.
B．People who travel a lot.
C．Teenagers who love writing.
D．Book lovers with little free time.

Blowing bubbles(泡泡) is fun！The best thing about bubbles is that it’s easy to make your own bubble solution(溶液)．You can make as much as you want and blow as many bubbles as you’d like.If you add a “secret” ingredient(配料)，you’ll get bigger and stronger bubbles! Do just as follows：
Measure 6 cups of water into one container，then pour 1 cup of dish soap into the water and slowly stir it until the soap is mixed in.Try not to let bubbles form while you stir.
Measure 1 tablespoon of glycerin(甘油) or 1/4 cup of corn syrup(玉米糖浆) and add it to the container.Stir the solution until it is mixed together.
You can use the solution right away，but to make even better bubbles，put the lid on the container and let your super bubble solution sit overnight.The soap mixture on the outside of a bubble is actually made of three very thin layers：soap，water，and another layer of soap.A bubble pops when the water that is trapped between the layers of soap evaporates(蒸发)．The glycerin or corn syrup mixes with the soap to make it thicker.The thicker skin of the bubbles keeps the water from evaporating as quickly，so they last longer.It also makes them stronger，so you can blow bigger bubbles.
Dip a bubble wand or straw into the mixture，slowly pull it out，wait a few seconds，and then blow.If you don’t have a ready?made “bubble wand”，you can make your own by cutting off the end of the bulb of a plastic pipet.Dip the cut end in solution and blow through the narrow end.You can also make a loop out of thin wire or pipe cleaner.Just twist a round end on your wire to blow the bubbles through.You can even make it heart?shaped，square or use other shapes if you’re clever enough to bend it well.
28．For what purpose is the text written?
A．To argue. B．To advertise. C．To entertain. D．To instruct.
29．What does the secret in making bigger and stronger bubbles lie in?
A．The soap. B．The corn syrup.
C．The water. D．The straw.
30．What can you use a bubble wand to do?
A．Blow bubbles. B．Mix the solution.
C．Measure soap. D．Shape wires.
31．What can we infer from Paragraph 4?
A．More soap，more bubbles.
B．Less water，better bubbles.
C．Stronger skin，more bubbles.
D．Thicker layers，bigger bubbles.
D
Eating spicy foods frequently may be tied to a slightly lower risk of an earlier death，according to a new study.However，more research is needed to confirm the link，experts say.
The researchers found that the people in the study who ate spicy foods one or two days a week were 10 percent less likely to die during the study，compared with those who ate spicy foods less than once a week，according to the study published in the journal The BMJ.Moreover，the people in the study who ate spicy foods three or more days a week were 14 percent less likely to die during the study，compared with those who ate spicy foods less than once a week.
However，the study was observational，and so it is too early to tell whether there is a certain relationship between eating spicy foods and lower mortality，said study author Lu Qi，an associate professor at Harvard School of Public Health in Boston，Massachusetts.“We definitely need more data from other populations，” Qi told Live Science.“The researchers don’t know why exactly the consumption of spicy foods may be linked to the drop of early death，but previous research on cells and animals has suggested several possible connections，” Qi said.
“It is unclear whether the observed associations are the direct result of spicy foods intake，or whether spicy foods are simply a marker for other beneficial but unmeasured dietary components(成分)，” said Nita Forouhi，a nutritional expert.At this point，researchers don’t know for sure whether eating spicy foods can have a beneficial effect on human health and mortality，Forouhi wrote.“Future research is needed to make sure whether spicy food consumption has the potential to improve health and reduce mortality directly，or if it is merely a marker of other dietary and lifestyle factors，” she said.
32．Which section of a newspaper is the article probably taken from?
A．Advertisement. B．Business. C．Science. D．Education.
33．What does the underlined word “mortality” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A．Death rate. B．Living cost.
C．Physical suffering. D．Energy requirement.
34．What does the passage mainly tell us?
A．Link between food and health.
B．Association between a certain food and health.
C．Connection between habits and health.
D．Relation between food and health.
35．What’s the writer’s attitude towards eating spicy foods frequently?
A．Negative. B．Positive. C．Doubtful. D．Objective.

Suddenly, a flash of lightening came into the sight. Seconds later, the noise of thunder broke the silent. Then a strong wind starts to blow into my room.

Dear Peter,
In your last letter, you told me that you were having trouble in senior learning. Now, I am writing to give you some advice on how to learn well.
First of all. I think you should make a good learning plan and finish all your tasks in time. If so, you will know clearly what to do every day and you will make progress gradually. Second, it is necessary for you to go over what you have learned, which will help you have a better understanding. What's more, I suggest you ask for your teachers help once you come across any questions. Try to look up and use varieties of materials, such as your notes, references, dictionaries and so on. Finally, just believe in yourself and never feel afraid. It is your self-confidence that helps you succeed.
I hope my suggestions can be of great use to you. Wish you success!
Yours,
Li Hua
