As I was driving out of the store parking lot, they crossed in front of me.My first reaction was filled with 36 at being delayed for a whole ten seconds.But I quickly became 37 when I realized that it was an elderly 38 . The man leaned on his 39 who walked in front of him.He not only used her for 40 but it was obvious that he was blind.The two of them _41 as one—each needing the other to 42 in this fast-changing world. That little example of true strength 43 my whole personal perception(理解) of life that day.Suddenly I wasn’t so 44 having to work a few extra hours on Saturdays.I had my 45 ,and I was still 46 young. That picture of those two elderly people walking with dignity(尊严) and strength 47 me the entire week.My 48 wasn’t so bad after all.I had my health and a good job.I had a wonderful, 49 wife.I started to think—not only was I 50 to have these all, but so was that wonderful old couple,who,_51 the trials and sufferings of a long life,still had the love and support of each other to 52 them through this world. There are so many people out there just like that couple.My wife and I sometimes 53 ourselves in our old age, walking arm in arm into the sunset. That image always gives us a 54 feeling.Just remember, none of us would be here if it wasn’t for our elders.We all should spend a little extra time and patience, 55 helping our elder friends.

The Barbie doll first appeared at the toy fair in New York in 1959. Its creator was Ruth Handler, an American businesswoman. She and her husband Elliott along with Harold Matt Matson started the toy company Mattel. She based the design of the new doll on a German doll named Bild Lilli and named her after their daughter Barbara. The first Barbie wore a black and white swimsuit and had her hair in a ponytail(马尾辫). She looked very grown-up. But any concerns that parents would not want to buy it for little girls were soon proved wrong. Mattel sold 300,000 Barbie dolls in the first year at a price of three dollars. Today, a fifty-year-old Barbie in good condition might cost more than 27,000 dollars. Barbie dolls have represented 50 different nationalities and are sold in 150 countries. Mattel says 90% of girls in the United States between the ages of three and ten own at least one Barbie doll. It says girls between the ages of three and six own an average of about 12. Barbie also faced her share of critics. A well-known example was when women’s education groups objected to a talking Barbie doll that declared, among other things, “Math class is tough!” Mattel agreed to change it. Saudi Arabia has banned Barbie dolls. And a lawmaker in the American state of West Virginia would like to do the same. Last month, he proposed banning sales of Barbie and other dolls that influence girls to put too much importance on physical beauty. Some people say Barbie is an unhealthy role model for young girls. Robin Gerber disagrees. She wrote a book about Barbie. She points out dolls like scientist Barbie and race car driver Barbie. She says people who criticize Barbie should tell girls the story of the businesswoman who created her. She says Ruth Handler wanted the dolls to help girls think about what they wanted to do with their lives. 小题1:The first Barbie doll might not be popular among little girls because _______.A.her hairstyle was out of fashion | B.her appearance looked much too mature | C.her way of dressing was against the tradition | D.physical beauty wasn’t thought to be important | 小题2:From the passage we know that Mattel ________.A.is one of the world’s largest toy companies | B.is the director of an American toy company | C.was the woman who originally created Barbie | D.was a salesman who was good at selling Barbie dolls | 小题3:Barbie dolls are criticized partly because they make girls ________.A.pay too much attention to their physical beauty | B.neglect their schoolwork and inner beauty | C.prefer physical beauty to inner beauty | D.waste too much time and money on clothes | 小题4:It can be inferred from the last paragraph that in her book Robin Gerber ________.A.shows Barbie dolls have a negative influence on girls | B.praises a successful person who sells Barbie dolls | C.expresses her own favorable opinion about Barbie | D.argues for banning the sales of Barbie dolls |

A used book or nearly-new kitchen gadget (配件) may not be at the top of every Christmas wish list, but hard economic times coupled with a new green awareness are changing attitudes about gift-giving in France. French holiday shoppers are choosing larger numbers for “green” gifting this Christmas, studies show. About 30 percent of French consumers will give second-hand items as gifts to stretch out their tight budgets but also to do their little bit for recycling, according to a study by international consulting firm Deloitte. The survey of Christmas consumer behaviors in 18 European countries found the French were more than twice as likely as other Europeans to give second-hand items. Websites promoting re-gifting and green gifting are popular in France, with many reporting a rise in business. “Concerns about the ecology and the economy have come together and we are now seeing people who accept the types of gifts that were not appreciated just a short time ago,” said Sebastien Ravut, who runs a website promoting eco-friendly consumerism. His site lists shops in France that offer fair trade products, bio-friendly goods and recycled items. Over the Christmas holidays, the number of visits to the site has doubled from last year, reaching 60,000 a month. A study by online survey firm Vivodi for PriceMinister showed eight out of 10 people would be happy to receive a used item as a gift and that younger consumers were more open to the idea. But Gilles Goldenberg, author of the Deloitte study, said that environmental concerns are not why customers buy used goods. “The number one concern is getting the lowest possible price,” said Goldenberg. “Eco-friendly products are drawing a lot of interest, but not if that means paying more.” Theatre tickets and other low-carbon gifts are fashionable, and eco-friendly websites are also encouraging gift givers to offer time and services instead of stuff. “The order of the day is to spend less time shopping and more time connecting” over the holidays, said Florence de Monclin from the Nicolas Helot foundation for Nature and Humanity. 小题1:We can judge from the Deloitte study that _________.A.over a quarter of the French give second-hand Christmas gifts | B.the French are less willing to buy eco-friendly gifts than other Europeans | C.80% of French people are happy to receive second-hand gifts | D.less than 10% of European consumers are likely to give second-hand gifts | 小题2:According to Goldenberg, the main reason for customers to buy used goods is that _______.A.they want to be eco-friendly | B.they want to save money | C.it is encouraged by websites | D.it is a new fashion in Europe | 小题3: All the following might be a promoted gift EXCEPT ________. A.a theatre ticket | B.a second-hand book | C.a nearly-new digital toaster | D.a box of heavily packaged chocolate | 小题4:Which of the following statements is TRUE?A.Old people are not open minded enough to accept second-hand gifts. | B.People wish to receive second-hand gifts because of the economic downturn. | C.Ravut’s website received a sharp decrease in visits during the Christmas holidays. | D.In de Monclin’s opinion, people should spend more time with friends and family during holidays |

Only three local students won Chinese Blog(博客)Competition. And 15 of the 18 awards went to students from China. 170 students’ task: to get a fully-designed blog up and running, complete with many posting based on a theme of choice—all written in Chinese. Themes ranged from local opinions-such as the usage of Singlish, education and whether Singapore can be a cultural centre-to food blogs. The entries were judged on Language proficiency(熟练程度)and the quality of writing, as well as the design and level of exchanging ideas with readers. Academics from the National University of Singapore and the SIM University IT experts, and a journalist from Chinese newspaper Lianhe Zaobao in Singapore made up the judges. In the end, only three Singaporean students made it to the award list—the rest of the awards were swept up by students from China. “No surprise.” said Mr. Chow Yaw Long, 37, teachers in charge from Ianova Junior College, which organized the event. “Although the topics were local subjects, the foreign students were generally better in terms of the content of the posts and their grasp of the Chinese language.” One of the three local students winning the first prize in the Best Language Award was blogger Christina Gao,19, from the Saint Andrew’s Junior College, who spared no effort in researching for and writing her blog. Each entry took her between five and seven days to produce, complete with pictures and even podcasts(播客).Her advice for bloggers is: Be responsible. “Some bloggers out there only seek to blame the authorities and other bloggers.” Said Miss Gao. “I think they lack responsibilities and there is no value to their posts.” 小题1:The competition was organized by _______A.the National University of Singapore | B.Chinese newspaper Lianhe Zaobao | C.Ianova Junior College | D.the Saint Andrew’s Junior College | 小题2: Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A.Chinese students won most of the awards. | B.Not all the themes were about local subjects | C.The blogs could be written in Chinese or Singlish. | D.The judges were from university in Singapore and China. | 小题3:What Miss Gao said suggests that _____________A.she likes to blame the authorities | B.she has a sense of responsibility | C.she thinks highly of the others’ blogs | D.she loves to read valuable posts |

Even if you are naturally shy, these three tricks will help you to quickly build a new social circle in any new city. 1.Take pictures One of the great things about taking pictures at an event or party is that it gives you an excuse to get in touch with a person.Everybody loves seeing pictures of themselves,and it’s very easy after taking a picture to say “If you’d like I can email it to you”.This can be the seed that leads to new connections.The next time you hear about a fun event email your new contacts to let them know about it. 2.Eat alone in public You might feel self-conscious eating by yourself but it has an important benefit:you are much easier to approach when you are alone.People may be afraid of interrupting you or being rude if you are in a conversation with someone else.Bring a book or newspaper to read (this will make you feel less self-conscious).Plus,having an interesting book with you will give others an excuse to start a conversation if they’ve read it. 3.Join a class,sports team,or club Yoga,salsa dancing,volleyball,Toastmasters (a public speaking club),a class for work,etc. Take up a new hobby or continue an old one! These are all great places to meet new people,primarily because you will be forced to see the same people over and over again in the class.You will automatically make friends with them if you have a common interest and are forced to see each other again. Tips: * In the beginning.never turn down an invitation from someone,even if it’s something you wouldn’t normally do. * Email your new friends with fun things to do instead of always asking what their plans are, If they have a better plan you can drop (放弃) yours and join them.This will help establish(建立) you as someone who is contributing value instead of just taking it (people want this in a friend) . *Don’t let little things in life upset you or be a negative person.People don’t want to be around someone like that! 小题1: can give you an excuse to start new connections.A.Taking pictures of others | B.Eating by yourself in public | C.Reading interesting books | D.Joining group activities | 小题2:According to the text,which of the following is NOT mentioned as an advantage of joining a class? A.It helps you find out your interest and take up a new hobby. | B.It helps you find out people who share a common interest with you. | C.It offers an opportunity to meet the same people repeatedly. | D.It is a good way to meet new people and make friends in a new city. | 小题3:Which of the following pieces of advice is a tip from the text?A.Try to be outgoing and talkative instead of being shy. | B.Never turn down an invitation from your friends. | C.Offer suggestions on how to spend time together. | D.Don’t give a negative response to any request. |

London is the capital of the United Kingdom. It has about seven million people. The river Thames runs through London. People from all over the world visit London to see Buckingham Palace, the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey and the Tower of London. There are many museums, theatres and parks in London, as well as offices and factories. London began as a Roman settlement called Londinium. The plague(瘟疫) came to London in the 1600s, followed by the Great Fire of 1666. The city was badly bombed in World War II. London is very slowly sinking into its foundations and the level of the river Thames is slowly rising. As a result, extra-high tides could flood a large part of London. To prevent this happening, a great barrier(屏障)has been built across the Thames at Woolwich. If very high tides happen, the barrier can be raised and London will be safe. 小题1:London is the capital of _________, which began as a __________ settlement.A.England; Norman | B.UK; Frenchman | C.Scotland; English | D.UK; Roman | 小题2:According to the passage, from 1600 to now, ________ great disasters have happened in London.小题3:The reason why a great barrierhas been built across the Thames at Woolwich is that_________.A.London is very slowly sinking into its foundations | B.the level of the river Thames is slowly rising | C.extra-high tides could flood a large part of London | D.all of the above. |
