阅读短文，选择正确答案。    Although cliff diving may bring great excitement, it"s a very dangerous sport that people should be careful
about. It is completely wrong to think that the diver is cushioned (缓冲) by the water below-this could not be
further from the truth. When jumping from a cliff that is over 70 feet high, a diver hits the water at over 46 mph
(miles per hour). Such high speeds make the point of contact feel like a wall, so the diving skills are very
important. 　　
    Professional divers are trained and well-prepared to make dives. However, non-professionals should never
dive because a diver"s body position (体位) at the time of contacting water is very important to his or her safety.
Because of the great danger, divers should always seriously think about their skills before trying any moves. 　　
    Although there is no truly safe way to jump off a cliff, non-professional divers are encouraged to pencil dive.
To do a pencil dive, the jumpers leap their feet first off the cliff, keep arms at their sides with legs together and
pointing downward. The diver should keep the body tight and vertical (垂直的). This is safer because it makes
the point of contact smaller when the diver enters the water and puts less stress (压力) on the body. 　　
    Wearing a wet suit while diving will result in less pain. So it is wise for new divers to wear wet suits. But
professional divers suggest staying away from water shoes. Although wearing shoes might seem like a good
idea, they actually increase the force of impact(冲击力) because they increase the surface area of the diver at
impact. The increased force of impact puts stress on a diver"s body and can lead to broken bones. Without a
doubt, diving without shoes is the safer way to go. 　　
    Besides the height, speed, water depth and body position, it is also important for divers to make wise
decisions when they are thinking about diving. Cliff diving tests both a person"s physical and mental(心理的)
skills, so it is never a good idea to jump with a sudden idea. A person needs to be of sound mind and in good
health to even think about a dive. One should never try a dive if he has drunk wine. What"s more, a person
should never make someone who is not feeling 100% confident dive. 1. What does "this could not be further from the truth" mean? [     ]
A. There"s no doubt that this idea is definitely true. 　　
B. This idea is thought to be completely wrong. 　　
C. It depends on the real situation on the spot. 　　
D. Nobody knows whether this idea is true or not. 2. Why didn"t professional divers suggest wearing shoes? Because wearing shoes can             . [     ]
A. put more weight on to the diver 　　
B. cause the diver to feel uncomfortable 　　
C. make the point of contact bigger 　　
D. certainly lead to broken bones 3. According to the passage, a good cliff diver should be _______. [     ]
A. well-prepared and skillful　　　　
B. professional and strong 　　
C. creative and smarty 　　　　　　　
D. confident and brave

Some countries have large numbers of earthquakes. Japan is one of them. One of the most serious earthquakes in world history took place in Japan in 1923. The shock and fires caused by it destroyed much of Tokyo and Yokohama and left more than 7000 dead. Other countries do not have many. For examples, there are few earthquakes in Brirain, France, Germany. There is often a great noise during an earthquake, but it is not always. The earth rocks. Houses fall down. Railway lines are broken. Sometimes many people are killed in an earthquake. People think earthquakes often happen near volcanoes (火山), but this is not always true. The centers of some are under the sea. The bottom of the sea suddenly moves. The powerful forces inside the earth break the rocks. The coast is rocking and great waves are caused there. These waves travel long distances and rush over the land when they reach it. They are strong enough to break down houses and other buildings: sometimes they break more buildings than earthquake itself. What kind of building stands up best in an earthquake? A building with concrete (水泥) walls is perhaps the best. A steel frame (框架) will make it even stronger. The frame holds the different parts together and the walls do not easily fall. There is less chance of fire because concrete and steel (钢材) does not burn. This kind of building is the safest. Today modern concrete and steel apartment buildings are commonly seen in cities of Japan.

Some people have very good memories, and can easily learn quite long poems by heart, while there are people who can only remember things when they have said them over and over. Charles Dickens, the famous English author, said that he could walk down any long street in London and then tell you the name of every shop he had passed. Many great men in the world have had wonderful memories. A good memory is great help in learning a language. Everybody learns his own language by remembering what he hears when he is a small child. Some children-like boys and girls who live in foreign countries with their parents-seem to learn two languages almost as easily as one. In schools it is not easy to learn a second language because the pupils have so little time to practice it, and they are busy with other subjects as well. The human mind is rather like a camera, but it takes photographs not only of what we see but of what we feel, hear, smell and taste. Memory is the diary that we all carry about with us.
( )1. All the humans have good memories. ( )2. Charles Dickens, the famous American writer, could remember things well. ( )3. A good memory is of importance in your learning a language. ( )4. Sometimes we can learn a second language without going to school. ( )5. The human mind is a good camera.

Students often want to practice their English outside class. One of the best ways to practice your English is to speak to a foreigner. This week"s question comes from a student who is eager to start a conversation with the foreigners he sees every day. One student asks, "Is it Okay to try to talk to foreigners I see in the street?" The answer is yes or no, but probably no! If you see a foreigner who looks lost, it is polite to ask him, "May I help you?" But, otherwise, you should probably let them get on with their business. Situations, however, do exist (存在) where it is quite all right to talk to foreigners. If a foreigner enters your school, office, shop or restaurant, for instance (例如), feel free to ask him (for example): — What is your name? — Where do you come from? — What do you think of Beijing? — How long will you stay in Beijing? There are also situations where it"s Okay to talk to foreigners in public places. If you see a foreigner alone in a restaurant, bar or coffee shop, it may be appropriate (合适的) to ask him or her: — Is this seat free? — Do you mind if I talk to you in English? You can probably help them if they are new to China and if they are alone. You may be able to make them feel more welcome. After a few such questions, you should know whether this person wants to talk to you or not. If they ask you similar questions, or if they give long, informative answers, you"re in luck. If not, then give them their privacy (独处). Talking to strangers is fun if you choose the right time and place.
