It is possible to do many simple tricks with numbers. Here is one trick. It has seven steps.
First, write down your house number. For example, if your address is 73 Lemon Street, you would write
down 73.
Next, double it. In other words, multiply it by two. Then, add five to this doubled number. For example,
if your address was 73and you doubled it, you would get 146. Then, if you added five, you"d get 151.
So, to repeat the first three steps, write down your house number, double it, and add five.
Fourth, multiply this number by 50. In our example here, if you multiply 151 by 50, you"ll get 7550.
The fifth step is to add your age to this total. For example, if you"re 26 years old, you should add 26 to this
total. In our example here, the result would be 7550 plus 26, you"ll get 7576.
Sixth, you have to add the number of days in a year, which is 365. In our example here, 365 added to 7576
is 7941.
The seventh and final step is this: subtract 615 from the number that you have. In our example, 7941
minus 615 is 7326.
The result here, 7-3-2-6, is the trick. The first part of the number is the address and the last part of the
number is the age of the person. That is, 73 is the address that we started with, and 26 is the age that we
used.
If you follow these seven steps with any address and the age of any person. You will get the same result. |

| [ ] |

age number.

If there is one thing I"m sure about, it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading
newspapers. It is not that newspapers are a necessity. Even now some people get most of their news from
television or radio or the Internet. Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday. But for most people reading
a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation.
The nature of what is news may change. What basically makes news is what affects our lives-the big
political stories, the coverage of the wars, earthquakes and other disasters, will continue much the same.
I think there will be more coverage of scientific research, though. It"s already happening in areas that may
directly affect our lives, like genetic (基因) engineering. In the future, I think there will be more coverage
of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do-as we develop a better understanding of how the brain
operates and what our feelings really are.
It"s quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted (传送) electronically from
Fleet Street and printed out in our own home. In fact, I"m pretty sure how it will happen in the future. You
will probably be able to choose from a menu, making up your own newspaper by picking out the things
you want to read-sports and international news, etc.
I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media (媒体).
They actually feed off each other. Some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers, but
that hasn"t happened. What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound lost
in the air. And as for the Internet, it"s never really pleasant to read something just on a screen. |

A. The Best Way to Get News
B. The Changes of Media

| [ ] |
A. more big political affairs, wars and disasters will make news
B. newspapers will not be printed in publishing houses any longer
C. newspapers will cover more scientific research
D. more and more people will watch TV |
| 3. What will probably be on in the newspaper made by yourself? |
| [ ] |
A. Sports and international news.
B. A menu of important news.
C. The most important news.
D. What you are interested in. |

B. newspapers will stay with us together with other media
C. television will take the place of newspaper

I started teaching English abroad when I was 22, soon after I graduated from university. I"m 35 now and
have been doing it ever since. If you want to travel the world, there"re a few ways to earn money while you
do so. You can pick fruit, pull pints or teach English. The third one has definitely suited me best. I taught in
Russia, Argentina, Spain and Slovakia and stayed an average of two years in each country.
Our flat is in the Sanlitun area, not far from the main football stadium, and I work at various schools in
the city. The demand for English language teachers is staggering. Basically, if a Chinese person wants a job
with an international company such as Hewlett Packard, then English is a must.
In China there"s no shortage of work, though the pay can vary. If you teach English as a second language
at an international school, you can earn 22,000 yuan a month, about ￠2,200 or￡1,500. If you"re short of
cash, you can always do a bit of extra private tuition, which pays really well-about ￡30 an hour.
The best thing about Beijing is that you aren"t going to be lonely. There"s a huge expat (侨民) community
here, mostly based in Sanlitun and growing all the time. I don"t know my way around Dublin or London very
well, but I can tell you Beijing is the restaurant capital of the world. |
| 1. Why did the author stay in Beijing to teach English? |
| [ ] |
A. He wanted to make a fortune.
B. Beijing made a good impression on him.
C. He wanted to live in China for ever.
D. He wanted to travel around the world. |
| 2. The underlined word "staggering" in Paragraph 2 means "____". |
| [ ] |
A. very weak
B. often changing
C. great
D. unsteady |
| 3. It can be inferred from the passage that the author ____. |
| [ ] |
A. often felt lonely in Sanlitun
B. was satisfied with living in China
C. was very familiar with Dublin
D. liked Chinese restaurants best |

D. Reflection | | 阅读理解。 | Foods from Around the World
Foods that are well known to you may not be familiar to people from other countries. Here are four
people"s experiences with foreign food.
Shao Wong is a student in France. He comes from China. "I"d never tasted cheese or even milk before
I came here. Cattle are rare in my part of China, so there are no dairy products. I tried milk when I first
arrived in France. I hated it! I sampled cheese too, but couldn"t manage more than one bite. I love ice cream,
though, and that"s made from milk."
Birgit is from Sweden. She traveled to Australia on vacation. "I was in a restaurant that specialized in fish,
and I heard some other customers order flake. So I ordered some too and it was delicious. Later, I found out
that flake is an Australian term for shark. After that pleasant experience, whenever I see a new food I try it
out on purpose. You know why? I remember how much I enjoyed flake."
Chandra is a dentist in Texas. She originates from India. "I"m frightened of eating new foods because they
might be made from beef. I"m a Hindu, and my religion forbids me to eat meat from the cow. It"s a sacred
animal to Hindus, so that"s the reason I can"t eat hamburgers or spaghetti with meatballs."
Nathan is American. He taught for a year in China. "My friends gave me some 100-year-old eggs to eat.
I didn"t like the look of them at all. The insides were green, but my friends said the color was normal. The
Chinese put chemicals on fresh eggs. Then they bury them in the earth for three months. So the eggs weren"t
really very old. Even so, I absolutely refused to touch them."

you order shark in a restaurant? | | 1. Which of the following sentences is true about Shao Wong? | | [ ] | A. He is a French-Chinese.

I"m a Senior 1 student in a middle school. This term, my favourite teacher, Miss Mao, no longer teaches
us. I want to see her, but I"m afraid that she no longer likes me and I don"t want to trouble her. I really miss
her. What should I do?
Tian Yan
Dear Tian Yan,
It"s bad luck that you have lost your favourite teacher. But, if she is still in your school, nothing can stop
you going to see her. When she isn"t busy, ask her if she minds having a quick chat. You can then tell her she
was your favourite teacher. Everyone is happy to know they are liked!
If she has left the school, it will be more difficult to meet her. It will be hard, but remember people always
come and go in our lives. We can"t rely on (依靠) them being with us all the time.
You may be sad to say goodbye to her, but we can remember and learn from her. Think of her best
qualities.
You could also try looking for similar qualities in your other teachers. Study hard and give your new
teacher a chance. In time, you might start to see that he or she has different qualities to learn from.
Finally, you can not completely rely on other people getting you through your studies, or even your life.
