behave today.
Their first argument is that when we were 1 we used to look after the older people in our community and
help them. They also say that young people today don"t care about anything or anyone. 2 , I think the reason
why we looked after older people was that we had no 3 . People had to live with their parents and
grandparents because they had no money. Young people today earn more and have more freedom to live where
they want. 4 this, I think that they are still interested in older people. For example, young people often 5 to
help me when I get on and off the bus with heavy shopping.

look for jobs, but just complain about unemployment. On the other hand, things were easier in the past and it
was always easy to get a job 7 you had friends and contacts. It is really harder today. Young people
complain about unemployment and I think they have 8 reason to complain.

but which was then killed while it was fast asleep through a terrible misunderstanding. However, only a few
people know that the story is really a pack of lies. Let me explain.
About a hundred or so years ago there was a hotel owner in Wales who was fed up with business being
so bad. His hotel was stuck in the middle of nowhere and hardly anyone came to stay. Then, one day, he had
an idea. A famous prince called Llewellyn had lived in the area during the Middle Ages and had been keen on
dogs. This is hardly surprising as hunting was extremely popular at that time. So what he did was to make
up the story of the brave and faithful Gelert and how he had been killed by his ungrateful master.
Of course, people would be far more likely to believe the story if there was something they could see. So
one day, the hotel keeper went to the top of a high hill and built a sort of monument from the stones he found
lying around A friend of his, who was an accountant, helped him to construct it. The "tale" soon caught on
and developed a life of its own. Afterwards, people came from far and wide to see the spot where the dog
was buried. Needless to say, business became very good for the hotel owner. | | 1. According to the tale, the dog was killed by ______. | A. a hotel owner

B. remember the loyal dog
C. show off
D. honor the prince | | 4. What could be the best title for this passage? | A. A Prince and His Dog
B. A Profit - Making Lie
C. A Magnificent Hotel
D. A Faithful but Unlucky Dog | | 阅读理解。 | Indian"s snake charmers are to be retrained as wildlife teachers under a plan to prevent their unique skills
and knowledge from being lost. The charmers, who make snakes dance to the sound of flutes (笛子), used
to be a traditional feature of Indian life, performing in towns and villages, until they were banned in 1972 to
control the trade in snake skins.
The government is now considering a plan to train the saperas, as they are known, to visit schools and
zoos to tell children about forests and wildlife. There is also a proposal to set up a "dial a snake charmer"
service to help householders to deal with unwelcome intruders.
"For generations they have been a feature of Indian life but now they can"t earn a living for fear of arrest,"
said Behar Dutt, a conservationist behind the plans,"if a policeman doesn"t catch them, animal rights activists
report them."
Many snake charmers have continued to work clandestinely since the ban, despite the threat of up to
three years in jail. But their trademark cloth-covered baskets, hung from a bamboo pole carried across their
shoulders, make them an easy target for police.
The fate of Shisha Nath, 56, from Badarpur, a village just outside of Delhi, is typical of practitioners (从
业者) of the dying art."I used to earn enough to support my family and send my children to school, "he said
"Now it"s hard to earn even f, 1 a day. My children want to be snake charmers. It"s our identity. We love the
work. But it s become impossible.
Next month Dutt"s project to train 30 snake charmers will begin at a snake park in Pune, western India,
where experts will enrich their home-grown skills with some formal knowledge.
More than the law, though, it is the dishonest attitude of their fellow countryman that angers many snake
charmers.
""We"re disturbed all the time but when people want a snake removed from the house, they rush to us,"
said Prakash Nath, who was ordered recently to the home of Sonia Gandhi, the Congress party leader. | | 1. According to the passage, snake charmers will be retrained as wildlife teachers mainly because _____. | A. schools need large numbers of such teachers

C. their performances on the street are banned
D. the government plans to save the dying art | | 2. The purpose of the proposed "dial a snake charmer" telephone service is _____. | A. to give performance of snake dancing
B. to teach householders how to catch and kill snakes
C. to offer cleaning service to wealthy householders
D. to help remove unwanted snakes from the houses | | 3. The word "clandestinely" in paragraph 4 can be best replaced by the word "_____" | A. secretly

the movies-you can find one almost anywhere.
Carbonated (碳酸的)
You can see bubbles in these! Of all soft drinks sold, about 75 percent are carbonated. But be careful,
carbonated soft drinks have lots of sugar and caffeine. Caffeine is not very good for you in the summer,
because it takes water out of your body. And the sugar can make you overweight if you drink too much.
Fruit juice
There are different kinds of juice. One kind is made only from fresh fruit. This kind of fruit juice may not
taste sweet enough for some people, but it is nutritious. Another kind of fruit juice tastes good but has lots of
sugar in it. Many young people buy this kind because the advertisements are good. It is bad for your teeth and
bones to drink lots of this.
Energy drinks
These kinds of drinks have caffeine and things that make people get excited in them. They are sometimes
called"party drinks". Doctors say that if you drink too much of this kind, you may have a heart attack.
Bottled water
We have lots of different kinds of bottled water, such as mineral water, purified water and distilled (蒸馏
的) water. They are clean and easy to drink. But it is best not to drink very cold water. It may make your
stomach feel bad.
Sports drinks
Most of these have funny names like "Scream" and "G-Vital". They have lots of vitamins and minerals in
them. After you play sports, you may want to drink one of these.
But if you just spend your summer holiday sitting around watching TV, you won"t need them at all! | | 1. Which of the following is NOT suitable for you to take if you go climbing? | A. Carbonated soft drinks.
