     The passage is mainly about a father"s accompanying his son studying at his university. What makes us
puzzled is that his son is a postgraduate. In most people"s opinion, a university student is old e nough to look
after himself.
     I can"t understand the father at all. And I am against his idea and action because his son is a postgraduate
and old enough to deal with all the difficulties by himself. All parents should allow their children to face the
reality and win the independence.
     I think independence is important for children. After all, we all will grow up and face the reality by
ourselves. Life is really tough and we will face all kinds of difficulties. We must be independent to solve the
problems. So we should develop our independence from young. After all parents can"t accompany us all the
time.
      Certainly all children are facing problems and all parents would like to do all for them. But I think children
should get their inde pendence by themselves and only in this way can they face the real- ity on their own.
     Reading is very important to help you learn English. To learn as much as you can from reading, you need to
read different kinds of English. This book provides not only different kinds of English but also a good way to
check your reading ability.
     There are four parts in the book:
     Part 1 is Messages: In this part somebody wants to send infor mation in writing to somebody else.
     There is a test on timetables and a test on text messages.
     Part 2 is People: In this part all the tests are about people. For example, there is an informal letter between
friends. There is formal (正式的) English in biography (传记). There is a job application as a model to help
with your writing, as well as testing your reading.
     Part 3 is Places: In this part, too, many different kinds of Eng- lish are shown, some informal and some
formal. There is the informal English of a holiday postcard. There is also the formal English in a letter of
complaint.
     Part 4 is Things: You will find some descriptive writing in this part. There are descriptions of clothes and
of a computer.
     You can do these tests in any order you like, or you can do all the tests with a formal or informal text.

and every effort to clear the air seemed to only   7   our misunderstanding. Then he   8   a small island in the

When I was a child, I often dreamed of the time when I could leave home and escape to the city. We lived on a farm. In the winter especially, we wear quite out off from the outside world. As soon as I left school, I packed my bags and moved to the capital. However, I soon discovered that my life has its too. One big disadvantage is money. It costs so much to go out, not to mention basics like food and housing. Another disadvantage is pollution. I suffer from asthma (哮喘), and the air is so that I am afraid to go outside. Then there is the problem of traveling round. Although I have a car, I seldom use it became of the traffic jams. One choice is to go by bicycle, but that can be quite dangerous. Of course there are advantages. First, there is so much to do in the city, whatever you tastes in culture or entertainment (娱乐活动). Besides, there are wonderful jobs and greater chances of moving to a more important job or position. Finally, if you like shopping, the variety of goods is very surprising-and, what is more, shops are often only a short walk away. Is life better then, in the city? Perhaps it is, when you are in your teens (十几岁) or twenties. However, as you get older, and especially if you have small children, the peace of the countryside may seem preferable. I certainly hope to move back there soon.
1. What was the writer always thinking about when he was a child?
A. Staying on the farm. B. Moving to the countryside. C. Leaving home for the city. D. Running away from the school.
2. Which of the following is true about the writer?
A. He is very old now. B. He is in good health. C. He prefers driving a car. D. He lives in the city now.
3. In the passage, the writer tries to _____.
A. express his opinions about way of life B. describe his life in the countryside C. an interest in the outside world D. persuade the reader to live in the city
4. How is the passage mainly developed?
A. By inferring. B. By comparing. C. By listing examples. D. By giving explanations.

Beauty has always been regarded as something praiseworthy. Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and healthier, have better marriages and have more respectable occupations. Personal consultants give them better advice for finding jobs. Even jud ges are softer on attractive defendants (被告).But in the adminis trative circle, beauty can become a liability. Although attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the administration ladder, it is harmful to a woman. Handsome male administrators were considered to be more honest than plainer men, though effort and ability were also thought to account for their success. Attractive female administrators were considered to have less honesty than unattractive ones, and very often their success was be lieved to be connected not to ability but to factors such as luck. Why are attractive women not thought to be able? An attrac tive woman is considered to be more feminine (女性的) and an at- tractive man more masculine (男性的) than the less attractive woman. Thus an attractive woman has an advantage in traditionally female jobs, but in a traditionally masculine position an attractive woman appears to lack the "masculine" qualities required. This is true even in politics." When the only clue is how he or she looks, people treat men and women differently," says Anne Bowman, who recently published a study on the effects of attractive- ness on political candidates. She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs, one of men and one of women, in order of attractiveness. Then the students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices. They were asked to rank them again, in the order they would vote for them. The results showed that attractive males completely defeated unattractive men, but the women who had been ranked most attractive unchangeably received the fewest votes.

Being connected to the Internet has become a necessary part of modern life. Some people actually need it as they cannot do their jobs without it, and others simply feel they need it as they cannot imagine life without it. To think that something that did not even exist 50 years ago has come to play a crucial role in our lives like this in just about 15 years makes one wonder-just what will the future bring? In 2004, a survey was conducted in the US asking a group of technology experts their opinions on the Internet in the next ten years. 57% of them agreed that virtual classes will be more widely adopted in schools, allowing students to learn with those at the same level and with interests in the same subjects. It"s quite possible that, by the year 2030,every child in every school will do all their school- work on their own laptop with all their textbooks available (现成可使用的) on the Internet. No more heavy books to carry around and no more pens and paper! At work, we already use email to deal with people both inside and outside our offices and video conferencing (电话会议) is occur- ring more frequently. This means that meetings can be held between offices in different countries without the trouble caused by business travel. Business travel will stop to exist in the future, and so will offices as people all start to work from home. It has also become a trend for people to use pocket computers such as Blackberries. With this helpful equipment, people can send and receive emails, surf the Web, and read multimedia files from absolutely anywhere even if we are on a beach holiday. The Internet will have a revolutionary (突破性的) effect on entertainment in the future. Already we can buy and download music and movies from the Internet but it is still possible for us to buy a CD or go to the DVD stores to rent the latest movies. However, it"s quite possible that in the future, CD shops and DVD rental stores will close and cinemas will no longer exist. Entertainment will be- come completely virtual although hopefully people will still want to get outside to play sports and entertain themselves in more healthy ways. With the Internet we need only relax in the rocking chair. The Internet, however, has problems to be solved.
1. The expression " play a crucial role in" can be understood as_____.
A. change a dull role into B. play an interesting part in C. act a cruel character in D. have an important effect on
2. According to the passage people are satisfied with all the following changes EXCEPT that _____.
A. CD shops and cinemas will shut down as a result of the a doption of virtual entertainment B. virtual classes can make students" dream of getting rid of their schoolbags come true C. people can be kept informed anytime and anywhere with the help of convenient equipment D. people won"t have to make business travel any more thanks to the video conference
3. What will the writer probably discuss after the last paragraph?
A. The possible school life in the future. B. Bad effects the Internet can have on us. C. More excitements the Internet will bring us. D. The likely ways to solve the problems.
4. What is probably the best title for the passage?
A. Virtual reality, our best friend! B. Goodbye, textbooks and offices! C. What will future life be like with the Internet? D. How can human beings deal with the Internet?

Men are happier with money, while women find greater joy in friendships and relationships with their children, co-workers and bosses, a new global study shows. The online study of 28,153 people in more than 51 countries by global marketing and information firm Nielsen found that as the world struggles with a recession (衰退) and financial (经济) mar kets keep falling, many people are reminding themselves that money can"t buy happiness. The Nielsen Happiness Study found that globally, women are happier than men in 48 of the 51 countries surveyed in August 2009,and only in Brazil, South Africa and Vietnam were men found to be happier than women." Because they are happier with noneco nomic factors, women"s happiness is more recession-proof which might explain why women around the world are happier in general than men are," Nielsen Vice Ptesident of Consumer Research Bruce Paul said in a statement. Japanese women reported the greatest difference and are 15 percent happier than Japanese men. Women are also more optimistic about the future, scoring higher than men on predictions (预言 ) of their happiness in the next six months. Women were also more pleased with their marriage life, the study found. Japanese and New Zealand women reported the grea test. difference in satisfaction with their marriage life. Men are generally happier with their physical health than women, and this is especially pronounced in South Africa. Egypt bucks the trend (趋势), with women rating their happiness with their health much higher than men. Globally, men rated their happiness with their mental health higher than women. It was the same in Belgium, South Korea, Mexico, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Egypt, and Israel. There are three main factors of happiness globally, according to the study: personal financial situation, mental health and job/ca- reer. Being satisfied with your partner is also important for happi ness.
