1.
People who work night shifts are constantly fighting against an “internal clock” in their bodies. Quite often the clock tells them to sleep when their job requires them to remain fully awake. It's no wonder that more accidents happen during night shifts than at any other time. Light therapy (照光治疗法) with a bright light box can help night-shift workers adjust their internal clock. However, many doctors recommend careful planning to help improve sleep patterns. For example, night-shift workers often find it difficult to sleep in the morning when they get off work because the body's natural rhythm (节律) fights back, no matter how tired they are. Some experts recommend that night-shift workers schedule two smaller sleep periods ---- one in the morning after work, and another longer one in the afternoon, closer to when the body would naturally need to sleep. It's also helpful to ask friends and family to cooperate by avoiding visits and phone calls during the times when you are sleeping.

Some cities have planned their transportation systems for car owners. That is what Los Angeles did. Los Angeles decided to build highways for cars rather than spending money on public transportation.
This decision was suitable for Los Angeles. The city grew outward instead of upward. Los Angeles never built many tall apartment buildings. Instead, people live in houses with gardens.
In Los Angeles, most people drive cars to work. And every car has to have a parking space. So many buildings where people work also have parking lots.
Los Angeles also became a city without a Central Business District (CBD. If a city has a CBD, crowds of people rush into it every day to work. If people drive to work, they need lots of road space.
So Los Angeles developed several business districts and built homes and other buildings in between the districts. This required more roads and parking spaces.
Some people defend（为…辩护） this growth pattern. They say Los Angeles is the city of the future.

We’ve found that eating habits vary so much that it does not make sense（有意义） to include meals in the price of our tours. We want to give you the freedom of choosing restaurants and ordering food that suits your taste and budget.
As our hotels offer anything from coffee and toast to a full American breakfast at very reasonable prices, it will never be a problem for you to start the day in the way you like best. At lunch stops, your tour guide will show you where you can find salads, soups, and sandwiches.
Dinner time is your chance to try some local food. Sometimes the tour guide will let you have dinner at a restaurant of your own choice. At other times he or she will recommend a restaurant at your hotel. Years of research have taught us which restaurants reliably serve a good choice of delightful dishes at down-to-earth prices.
In Mexico, Alaska, and the Yukon, where your restaurant choice may be limited, we include some meals. The meals provided are clearly stated on the tour pages.

Falls are the number one cause of death to old people at home. Most old people can live safely at home if they make a few changes. Falls are common as people are getting older. Up to half of home accidents could be prevented by making some very simple changes. Here are a few suggestions:
Mark trouble spots with bright tapes. The first and last steps on stairs are usually high-risk accident areas. Applying bright tapes and using bright light in these areas would make these spots easier to see.
Put grab bars (扶手) in the bathroom. A large number of falls occur in the bathroom. This is unfortunate (不幸的) because it’s easy to make the area safe from accidents. Putting grab bars in the bathroom gives people something to hang on to.
Invest in a personal alarm. A personal alarm can be started if a person falls or otherwise gets in trouble. With the push of a button, the alarm automatically sends a signal, which gets someone to call and see if the person needs help.

Cars are lots of fun, but they could also be dangerous. We have to be careful when we drive them or ride in them.
It's always a good idea to put on your seat belt when you're in a car. Why? Think about this example: You put an egg on a skateboard(滑板) and give it a push. If the skateboard hits a stone, it will stop, but the egg won't. It will fly through the air, hit the ground and break.
Now, think what would happen if you tied the egg to the skateboard. When the skateboard hits a stone, the egg won't go flying. It will stay safely on the skateboard.
Volvo, a famous Swedish carmaker, was the first to use seat belts in 1949. Air bags are also very important for car safety, because sometimes a seat belt isn't enough. If the car is going really fast and runs into something, seat belts could even hurt the people who wear them.
Most newer cars have air bags in front of and next to the seats. When a car hits something, its air bags will come out quickly--in less than one second--to keep the people inside safe.
1. We have to be careful in driving a car mainly because it could be ______.
A. a great danger B. a pleasure C. a lot of trouble D. little fun
2. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. People with seat belts tied will always be safe in cars.
B. Volvo was the first carmaker to use seat belts in cars.
C. Air bags will come out before the cars hit something.
D. All cars have air bags in front of the seats.
3. The example of an egg on a skateboard is used to show that ______.
A. eggs break easily on a moving skateboard
B. cars should not be stopped suddenly
C. seat belts are important to safety
D. driving is a dangerous act
4. According to the passage, air bags are another device that ______.
A. adds safety to car driving B. is going to replace seat belts
C. comes out slowly to function D. prevents cars from running too fast
5. The best title for this passage is ______.
A. Buy a Volvo with Air bags B. Make a Car Safe Inside
C. Fasten Your Seat Belts D. Add Air Bags to Cars

Dear Mary,
Cook something that would let you spend time with your guests, If a guest offers to help you in the kitchen, accept the offer. It often makes people feel more comfortable when they can help.

People in some countries cannot use their native language for Web addresses. Neither can Chinese speakers, who have to rely on pinyin. But last Friday, ICANN, the Web’s governing body, approved the use of up to 16 languages for the new system. More will follow in the coming years.
The Internet is about to start using the 16 languages of the world. People will soon be able to use addresses in characters (字符) other than those of the Roman alphabet (字母表). The change will also allow the suffix (后缀) to be expressed in 16 other alphabets, including traditional and simplified Chinese characters.
But there are still some problems to work out. Experts have discussed what to do with characters that have several different meanings. This is particularly true of Chinese.
Most experts doubt the change will have a major effect on how the Internet is used. “There will be some competition between companies to obtain popular words for addresses.”

The first aid (急救) you learn from a course is not quite like reality. Most of us feel afraid when dealing with “the real thing”. By overcoming these feelings, we are better able to use the first aid to cope with the unexpected.

· acting calmly and reasonably;
· being gentle, but firm, with your hands, and speaking to the casualty kindly, but hopefully.
Building up trust
Talk to the casualty throughout your examination and treatment (治疗).
· Explain what you are going to do.
· Try to answer questions honestly to reduce fears as best as you can. If you do not know the answer, say so.

A car is made up of more than 30 000 parts. Each part in a new car is as weak as a baby. So a new car requires proper care and servicing. If you're unfamiliar with the parts, you have to read through the owner's instructions carefully.

It is often difficult for a man to be quite sure what tax (税) he ought to pay to the government because it depends on so many different things: whether the man is married; how many children he has; whether he supports any relations; how much he earns; how much interest he receives; how much he has spent on his house during the year, and so on and so forth. All this makes it difficult to decide exactly how much the tax is.
There was a certain artist who was always very careful to pay the proper amount.
One year, after posting his check as usual, he began to wonder if he had paid enough, and after a lot of wok, with a pencil and paper, decided that he had not. He believed that he owed the government something.
He was just writing another check to send to the tax-collector when the postman dropped a letter into the box at the front door. Opening it, the artist was surprised to find inside it a check for five pounds from the tax-collector. The official explained that too much had been paid, and that therefore the difference was now returned to the taxpayer.
1. According to the passage, to decide the exact amount of tax to be paid is _______.
A. simple B. easy C. difficult D. interesting
2. The word “ proper “ in the first line of the second paragraph means ______.

There are stories about two U. S . presidents, Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren, which attempt to explain the American English term OK. We don’t know if either story is true, but they are both interesting.

When important papers came to Jackson, he tried to read them and then had his assistants explain what they said. If he approved of a paper. he would write”all correct”on it. The problem was that he didn’t know how to spell. So what he really wrote was”ol korekt”. After a while, he shortened that term to”OK”.
The second explanation is based on the place where President Van Buren was born, Kinderhook, New York. Van Bnren’s friends organized a club to help him become President They caned the club the Old Kinderhook Club, and anyone who supported Van Buren was called”OK”.

If we were asked exactly what we were doing a year ago, we should probably have to say that we could not remember But if we had kept a book and had written in it an account of what we did each day, we should be able to give an answer to the question.
It is the same in history. Many things have been forgotten because we do not have any written account of them. Sometimes men did keep a record of the most important happenings in their country, but often it was destroyed by fire or in a war. Sometimes there was never any written record at all because the people of that time and place did not know how to Write. For example, we know a good deal about the people who lived in China 4, 000 years ago, because they could write and leave written records for those who lived after them. But we know almost nothing about the people who lived even 200 years ago in central AfricA. because they had not learned to write.
Sometimes. of course, even if the people cannot write, they may know something of the past. They have heard about it from older people, and often songs and dances and stories have been made about the most important happenings, and these have been sung and acted and told for many generations For most people are proud to tell what their fathers did in the past. This we may call ‘remembered history’. Some of it has now been written down. It is not so exact or so valuable to us as written history is, because words are much more easily changed when used again and again in speech than when copied in writing. But where there are no written records, such spoken stories are often very helpful.
1. Which of the following ideas is not suggested in the passage?
A. “Remembered history”, compared with written history, is less reliable
B. Written records of the past play the most important role in our learning of the human history.
C. A written account of our daily activities helps US to be able to answer many questions.
D. Where there are no written records, there is no history.
2. We know very little about the central Africa 200 years ago because ______.
A. there was nothing worth being written down at that time
B. the people there ignored the importance of keeping a record
C. the written records were perhaps destroyed by a fire
D. the people there did not know how to write
3. “Remembered history” refers to ______.
A. history based on a person’s imagination
B .stories of important happenings passed down from mouth to mouth
C .songs and dances about the most important events
D .both B and C
4. The passage suggests that we could have learned much more about our past than we do now if the ancient people had _______.
A. kept a written record of every past event
B. not burnt their written records in wars
C. told exact stories of the most important happenings
D. made more songs and dances
5. “Remembered history” is regarded as valuable only when ______.
A. it is written downB .no written account is available
C. it proves to be time D. people are interested in it

Trees are useful to man in three very important ways：they provide him wood and other products；they give him shade；and they help to prevent drought(干旱)and floods.
Unfortunately, in many parts of the world, man has not realized that the third of these services is the most important. In his eagerness to draw quick profit from the trees, he has cut them down in large numbers
Two thousand years ago, a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build warships, with which to gain itself an empire. It gained the empire but, without its trees, its soil became bare and poor. When the empire fell to pieces, the country found itself faced by floods and starvation.
Even where a government realizes the importance of a plentiful supply of trees, it is difficult sometimes to make the people realize this. They cut down the trees but are too careless to plant and look after new trees So, unless the government has a good system of control, or can educate the people, the forests slowly disappear
This does not only mean that there will be fewer trees. The results are even more serious：for where there are trees, their roots break the soil up, allowing the rain to sink in, and also bind the soil. This prevents the soil from being washed away. But where there are no trees, the rainfalls on hard ground and flows away on the surface, and this causes floods and the rain carries away the rich topsoil in which crops grow When a11 the topsoil is gone. nothing remains but worthless desert.
1. Trees are useful to man mainly in three ways, the most important of which is that they can ___.
A. keep him from the hot sunshine
B. enable him to build warships

A. man is only interested in building empires
B. man is eager to profit from trees
C. man hasn’t realized the importance of trees to him
D. man hasn’t found out that he has lost all trees
3. Sooner or later the forests will disappear _______.
A. unless a country has a plenty supply of trees
B. unless people stop cutting down their trees
C. unless aIl people are taught the importance of planting trees
D. unless the government punishes those who cut trees instead of planting them
4. When there is a heavy rain. trees can help to prevent floods. as they can. _____
A. keep rain from falling down to soft ground
B. cause the soil to allow rainwater to sink in
C. prevent the soil from being washed away
D .make the topsoil stick together
5. The word”bind”in Paragraph 5 means”______”
A. to wash away B. to make wet

With the living standard improving rapidly, people’s demand upon food and catering (餐饮) service is also changing rapidly. Such changes reflect（反映） the improvement of modern life style and life quality.

Children in the United States are exposed to many influences other than that of their families. Television is the most significant of these influences, because the habit of watching television usually begins before children start attending school.

Parents are also concerned at, out the commercials that their children see on television. Many parents would like to see fewer commercials during programs for children.

We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. “Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?…When I got that great job, did Jerry really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?” When we look back, doubts like these can make US feel bad. But when we look back, It’s too late.
Why do we go wrong about our friends-or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we don’t really listen, we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you. “You’re a lucky dog”. Is he really on your side? If he says, “You’re a lucky guy”or”You’re a lucky gal”. That’s being friendly. But“lucky dog”?There’s a bit of envy in those words Maybe he doesn’t see it himself. But bringing in the“dog”bit puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesn’t think you deserve your luck.
How can you tell the real meaning behind someone’s words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says square with the tone of voice? His posture(体态)?The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake
1. From the questions in the first paragraph we can learn that the speaker_______.
A. feels happy, thinking of how nice his friends were to him
B. feels he may not have”read” his friends’true feelings correctly
C. thinks it was a mistake to have broken up with his girl friend, Helen
D. is sorry that his friends let him down
2. In the second paragraph. the author uses the example of “You’re a lucky dog” to show that_______.
A. the speaker of this sentence is just being friendly
B. this saying means the same as “You’re a lucky guy” or “You’re a lucky gal”
C. sometimes the words used by a speaker give a clue to the feeling behind the words
D. the word”dog”shouldn’t be used to apply to people
3. This passage tries to tell you how to _______.

One silly question I simply can’t stand is”How do you feel?” Usually the question is asked of a man in action—a man on the go, walking along the street, or busily working at his desk So what do you expect him to say? He’ll probably say. “Fine, I’m all right.” But “you’ve put a bug in his ear”一maybe now he’s not sure if you are a good friend, you may have seen something in his face, or his walk, that he did not realize that morning it starts him worrying a little. First thing you know, he looks in a mirror to see if everything is all right, while you go merrily on your way asking someone else. “How do you feel?”
Every question has its time and place It’s perfectly acceptable, for instance, to ask “How do you feel?’’ if you’re visiting a close friend in the hospital. But if the fellow is walking on both legs, hurrying to make a train, or sitting at his desk working, it’s no time to ask him that silly question.

Overhead bridges are found in many parts of Singapore, especially in places where traffic is heavy and crossing the road is dangerous.
The purpose of these bridges is to enable people to cross roads safely. Overhead bridges are used in very much the same way as zebra crossing (斑马线). They are more efficient although less convenient because people have to climb up a long flight of steps. This is inconvenient especially to older people. When people use an overhead bridge, they don’t hold up traffic. However, when they cross a busy road using a zebra crossing, traffic is held up. This is why the government has built up many overhead bridges to help people and to keep traffic moving at the same time.
For their own safety, people should be encouraged to use them instead of risking their lives by dashing (闯) across the road. Old people, however, may find it a little difficult climbing up and down the steps, but it is still advisable for them to use overhead bridges.
Overhead bridges serve a very useful purpose. This will prevent unnecessary accidents and loss of life.
1. The advantage of overhead bridges is that _____.
A. they don’t hold up traffic and they are safer
B. people can have a better view of the city
C. they are more convenient to use

After a busy day of work and play, the body needs to rest. Sleeping is necessary for good health, During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day.
There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your muscles relax little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forthfrom one level of sleep to the other.
Although your mind slows down, from time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep state that when dreaming occurs, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly (although your eyelids are closed), This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement.
