The adderis the only poisonous snake nativeto Britain. Adders have the most highly developed poison injecting mechanism of all snakes, but they are not aggressive animals. Adders will only use their poison as a last means of defence, usually if caught or trodden on. No one has died from adder bites in Britain for over 20 years. By far the most common smake in Britain is the adder. In Scotland, in fact, there are no other snakes at all. The adder is also the only British sanke with a poisonous bite. It can be found almost anywhere, but prefers sunny hillsides and rough open country, including high gournd. In Ireland there are no snakes at all. Most people regard snake bites as a fatal misfortune, but not all bites are serious, and very few are fatal . Sometimes attempts at emergency treatment turn out to be more dangerous than the bite itself, with amateurs heroically, but mistakenly, trying do-it-yourself surgery and other unnecessary measures. All snakes have small teeth, so it follows tha tall snakes can bite, but only te bite of the adder presents any danger. British snakes are shy animals and are far more frightened of you than you could possibly be of them. The adder will attack only if it feels threatened, as can happen if you take it by surprise and step on it accidentally, or if you try to catch it or pick it up, which it dislikes intensely. If it hears you coming, it will normally get out of the way as quickly as it can, but adders cannot move very rapidly and may attack before moving if you are very close. The effect of a bite varies considerably. It depends upon severa things, one of which is the boidy-wight of the person bitten. The bigger the person, the less harmful the bite is likely to be, which is why children suffer far more seriously from snake bites in Britain ,and thought these bites can make some pepe very ill, there are probably just as many cases of bites having little or no effect, as there are of serious illness. 小题1:What does the underlined phrase “ trodden on” probably mean?A.Found out | B.Heard from | C.Stepped on. | D.Robbed of. | 小题2:Where are adders to be found?A.In fertile fields in Scotland. | B.On wild land throughout Britain. | C.In many parts of Britain and Ireland. | D.Everywhere in Britian except Scotland | 小题3:What should you do if you are with someone who is bitten by an adder?A.Catch the biting adder at onece. | B.Don’t worry about the bitten person. | C.Don’t try to treat the bite by yourself. | D.Operate on the person as soon as possible. | 小题4:What’s the best title of the passage?A.Poisonous Snakes | B.Adders in Britain | C.Take Care oif Sake Bites | D.Protec Endangered Adders |

Handshaking, though a European practice is often seen in big cities of China. Nobody knows exactly when the practice started in Europe. It is said that long long ago in Europe when people met, they showed their unarmed(无武器的) hands to each other as a sign of friendship. As time went on and trade in cities grew rapidly, people in cities began to clap each other"s hands to make a deal or to reach an agreement. This practice was later changed into shaking hands among friends on meeting or leaving each other. "Let"s shake (hands) on it" sometimes means agreement reached. Do the Europeans shake hands wherever they go and with whomever they meet? No. Sometimes the Chinese abroad reach out their hands too often to be polite. It is really very impolite to give your hand when the other party, especially when it is a woman, shows little interest in shaking hands with you and when the meeting does not mean anything to him or-her. Even if, for politeness, he holds out his unwilling hand in answer to your uninvited hand, just touch it slightly. There is generally a misunderstanding(误解) among the Chinese that westerners are usually open and straightforward, while the Chinese are rather reserved(保守的) in manner. But in fact some people in western countries are more reserved than some Chinese today. So it is a good idea to shake hands with a westerner only when he shows interest in further relations with you. 小题1:In the old days in Europe, people put out their unarmed hands to each other ______.A.to make a deal | B.to greet each other | C.to show friendliness | D.to reach an agreement | 小题2:The first paragraph mainly tells us ______.A.where handshaking was first practised | B.how handshaking came about | C.about the relationship between handshaking and trade | D.about the practice of handshaking both in Europe and in China | 小题3: According to the text, which of the following statements is true?A.Westerners are more reserved than the Chinese. | B.Westerners are unwilling to shake hands. | C.We should make a judgement before shaking hands. | D.We shouldn"t shake hands with European women. | 小题4:The main purpose of the text is ______.A.to tell us some differences between the East and the West | B.to offer us some important facts about handshaking | C.to introduce us to some different customs in the West | D.to give us some advice before we travel abroad |

Dear Alcohol, You"ve been around forever. I can remember all the pain you"ve caused for me. Do you remember the night you almost took my father"s life? I do. He loves you. Sometimes I think he loves you more than he loves me. He"s addicted to you, to the way you promise to rid him of his problems only to cause more of them. You just sat back and laughed as his car went spinning through the street, crashing into two other cars. He wasn"t the only one hurt by you that night. Do you remember the night of my first high school party? You were there. My friends were intrigued by you. They treated you as if they were never going to see you again, drinking all of you that they could. I spent two hours that night helping my friends who had fallen completely. "I"m so embarrassed," they said as I held their hair back so that they could vomit (呕吐). "I"m sorry," they said when I called taxies for them, walking them out and paying the driver in advance. "This won"t happen again," they said as they were sent to the hospital to have their stomachs pumped. Two 15-year-old girls slept in hospital beds that night thanks to you. Do you remember the night when you took advantage of my 17-year-old neighbor who had to drive to pick up his sister from her dance lessons? Do you know how we all felt when he hit another car and killed the two people in the other car? He died the next morning too. His sister walked home from her dance lesson, and passed police cars and a crowd of people gathering on the sidewalk just two blocks away from the dance studio. She didn"t realize her brother was in the midst of it all. She never saw him again. And it"s all your fault. I wish you"d walk out of my life forever. I don"t want anything to do with you. Look at all the pain you"ve caused. Sure, you"ve made people happy too from time to time. But the damage you"ve caused in the lives of millions is inexcusable. Stop luring (引诱) in the people I love. Stop hurting me, please.

It’s great fun to explore new places—it feels like an adventure,even when you know you’re not the first to have been there. But make sure not to get lost or waste time going round in circles. ● Do the map reading if you’re being driven somewhere. It’ll be easier if you keep turning the map so it follows the direction you’re traveling in. Keep looking ahead so that you can give the driver lots of warning before having to make a turn or you’ll have to move to the back seat. ● Get a group of friends together and go exploring. You"ll need a good map, a compass , a raincoat, a cell phone to call for help in case you get lost, and a bit of spare cash for emergencies . Tell someone where you’re going before you set out and let them know what time you expect to be back. The test is in not getting lost, not in seeing how fast you can go, so always stick together, waiting for slower friends to catch up. ● See if your school or a club organizes orienteering activities, in which you need a map and a compass to find your way. This can be done as a sport, with teams trying to find the way from A to B (and B to C, etc.)in the fastest time, or simply as a spare-time activity. Either way, it’s not only good fun, but a great way to keep fit. 小题1:Sitting beside the driver, you should___________.A.direct the driver when necessary | B.look ahead to see where there’s a turn | C.move to the back seat if feeling uncomfortable | D.keep looking at the map to find a place to go to | 小题2:Why do you need to tell someone your exploration plan before setting out?A.To get information when in danger. | B.To be saved in case of an accident. | C.To share the fun with him/her in exploration. | D.To tell him/her what’s going on with the group members. | 小题3:Orienteering activities can______________.A.make people work fast | B.help people stay healthy | C.help people organize other activities | D.make people get prepared for sports | 小题4:The text mainly talks about____________.A.the fun of exploration | B.what to bring for exploration | C.the way to use a map in exploration | D.how to prevent getting lost in exploration |
