rounds as a doctor.
     But today"s British teenagers, a survey suggests, seem to have set their sights only on becoming the next
Leona Lewis or Wayne Rooney.
      Researchers questioned 3,000 teenagers about their ambitions and also asked parents about their youthful
career hopes.
     According to the survey, youngsters dream of a celebrity (明星) lifestyle, perhaps after finding fame
through shows such as the X Factor, and of being actors or sports stars.
     Copying the likes of Rooney and David Beckham was the top career ambition of today"s teenagers,cited by
12 percent.
     Almost as many,11 percent, wanted to be pop stars, and the same proportion dreamed of being actors.
     The success of celebrity chefs such as James Oliver and Cor don Ramsay is likely to explain why becoming a chef is now the dream of 5 percent, a career ambition which did not figure in the list of 25 years ago.
      A quarter of a century back teaching was the top career choice, cited by 15 percent. These days the job is
chosen by only 4 percent.
     Of the traditional professions, only law has risen in popularity. The survey also suggests that more girls
dream of becoming doctors and boys want careers as astronauts or firefighters.
     Child psychologist Laverne Antrobus said the findings reflect today"s celebrity culture and warned children
against unrealistic dreams.
     "Children see footballs, pop stars and actors on TV and their lives look exciting, glamorous and fun," she
said."It is hard for them to realize that, they are the end product of a lot of ingredients including talent,
determination and years of hard work. Wayne Rooney is not on the pitch by chance."
     As Antrobus pointed out, there is absolutely nothing wrong with children having big dreams, but" these have
to be based on reality," she said.1. The study suggests today"s British teenagers want to___ sports stars, pop stars and actors. A. have the talent of
B. work as hard as
C. enjoy the celebrity lifestyles of
D. become successful by chance like 2. Which of the following statements is TRUE? A.12 percent of British teenagers surveyed wanted to become chefs.
B. 22 percent of British teenagers surveyed wanted to be pop stars or actors.
C. None of the traditional professions are favored by today"s British teenagers.
D. Teaching, though less popular, seems to remain one of the top career choices on the list. 3. According to Laveme Antrobus, the change in career ambitions___. A. represents progress
B. mirrors today"s celebrity culture
C. shows how realistic youngsters are
D. suggests British teenagers watch too much TV 4. What does the underlined sentence" Wayne Rooney is not on the pitch by chance." mean? A. Wayne Rooney does not get to play much today.
B. Wayne Rooney didn"t get into sport by chance.
C. Wayne Rooney doesn"t believe in luck when he is playing.
D. Wayne Rooney didn"t become successful by luck.

     Honesty comes in many forms. First there"s self-honesty. Is what people see the real article or do you
appear through smoke and mirrors? I find that if I try to be something I"m not. I feel unsure of myself and
take out a part from my PBA (personal bank account). I love how singer Judy Garland put it. "Always be
a first-class version(版本) of yourself, instead of a second-class version of somebody else."
     Then there"s honesty in our actions. Are you honest at school, with your parents, and with your boss?
If you"ve ever been dishonest, I think we all have, try being honest, and notice how whole it makes you
feel. Remember, you can"t do wrong and feel right. This story by Jeff is a good example of that:
     In my second year of study, there were three kids in my math class who didn"t do well. I was really good
at it. I would charge them three dollars for each test that I helped them pass. I"d write on a little piece of
paper all the right answers, and hand them off.
     At first I felt like I was making money, kind of a nice job. I wasn"t thinking about how it could hurt all
of us. After a while I realized I shouldn"t do that anymore, because I wasn"t really helping them. They weren"t
learning anything, and it would only get harder down the road. Cheating certainly wasn"t helping me.
     It takes courage to be honest when people all around you are getting away with cheating on tests, lying
to their parents, and stealing at work. But, remember, every act of honesty is a deposit (储蓄) into your PBA
and will build strength.
1. The underlined part "appear through smoke and mirrors" in the first paragraph means "_____".
A. to be honest
B. to be unreal
C. to become clear
D. to come from an imagined world
2. Which of the following can best explain Judy Garland"s words?
A. Be your true self rather than follow others.
B. Don"t copy others or you can"t be the first class.
C. Make efforts to be the first instead of the second.
D. Don"t learn from others unless they"re excellent.
3. What does the author expect to show by Jeff"s story?
A. Honesty can be of great help.
B. A bad thing can be turned into a good one.
C. Helping others cheat can do good to nobody.
D. Be honest in our actions and feel right.
4. In the last paragraph the author mainly wants to express _____.
A. one must be brave to be honest
B. it"s difficult to be honest when others are not
C. one should be honest when making a deposit
D. honesty in one"s actions can help him in the future

     As bananas ripen, the green skin turns yellow gradually. Chemical changes occur in the flesh of the fruit
as well: starch (淀粉) changes to sugar; pectin (果胶) breaks down, losing its stiffness; and the flesh softens.
     Is ripening fruit a self-contained system, or is the rate of these changes affected by the environment? We
designed the experiment below to see if different atmospheres, produced by different packaging, affected the
rate of ripening. You will vary the atmosphere surrounding unripe bananas and observe the effect on the ripening
process.

     Surgeons in Spain have successfully carried out the world"s first organ transplant (移植) using new stem
cell technology. Some people are calling it the greatest medical breakthrough so far this century.
     But what are stem cells? As we know, most cells in our bodies are designed____ -for example, a liver cell
develops to work in the liver and cannot become a heart cell. But stem cells are different. They are very young
and in the laboratory scientists can grow them into different types of cells.
     Claudia Castillo needed a new windpipe (气管) after getting a serious disease. Scientists from the University
of Bristol took a donor windpipe, from someone who had recently died. They used strong chemicals to remove
the donor"s cells, leaving a tissue scaffold (组 织支架). This was refilled with cells from Ms Castillo"s windpipe and stem cells from her bone. After four days the cells had grown sufficiently for the windpipe to be
transplanted into Ms Castillo.
     Currently, transplant patients have to take drugs for the rest of their lives to prevent their bodies rejecting
the new organs. These drugs can have bad side-effects, and do not always prevent rejec tion. But by using
Ms Castillo"s own cells, doctors were able to trick her body into thinking the new windpipe was her own organ. Five months on, Claudia Castillo is in perfect health.
     This ground-breaking procedure could be used in other trans- plant operations in the future. Scientists also
believe stem cells might be used to treat Parkinson"s disease, heart disease, stroke, ar thritis, burns and so on.
     However, stem cell research is extremely controversial. The most effective stem cells do not come from
adults but from embryos (胚胎) created in laboratories which are just a few days old. Many people have
religious or ethical objections to growing embryos, even if they can be used to cure diseases.

     Most sharks are dangerous. The largest kind of sharks-the whale shark-has small teeth and is quite harmless
 to people. However, blue sharks, tiger sharks, white sharks and hammerheads are enemies of man. Man-eaters
are always a danger to swimmers in shark waters. Sometimes, though, men have used strange methods when
they"re suddenly faced with a shark.
     During world War Ⅱ, soldiers and sailors whose boats or planes were destroyed drifted (漂流) helplessly
on the ocean in small rafts (筏子). While waiting to be saved, the men had to struggle to stay alive and were
often attacked by sharks. In some cases, they had few weapons to protect themselves with. They found that
just splashing (溅水) water seemed to help keep the sharks away.
     One sailor was swimming for his life in the Atlantic Ocean after his boat had been blown up. He saw a
shark swimming towards him. He hit the shark with his bare fist, and that drove it off.
     Once, in Australia, a fisherman was fishing after sunset. He hooked a big fish and drew it towards the shore. His line broke when the fish was only a few yards from the shore. The fisherman waded (涉水) into the water
to try to catch it with his hands. In the dim light, it looked like the kind of fish that could be dealt with without
danger.
     He put his arms around the fish and wrestled with it. Dragging it to the beach turned out to be harder than
he had expected, but at last he pulled it in. When he turned a light on it, he was amazed. He had caught a shark.
It was small for a shark, but it was the man-eating type and was about as long as a tall man. In a word, the
best way to deal with sharks is to keep far away from them.

1. The shark that is least dangerous to man is the _______.
A. white shark
B. whale shark
C. tiger shark
D. hammerhead shark
2. This story tells you that sharks are usually ________.
A. friendly
B. small
C. afraid of people
D. dangerous
3. After the Australian fisherman found he had caught a shark, he was ________.
A. surprised
B. frightened
C. unhappy
D. angry
4. This story tells you that the best way to handle sharks is to ________.
A. hit them with your fist
B. keep far away from them
C. splash water
D. wrestle with them
5. The passage mainly tells us something ________.
A. about fishing sharks
B. about sharks
C. how to eat sharks
D. that sharks are man"s enemies
