Thailand’s giant pandas have finally produced a baby. Chiang Mai zoo director Thanapath said eight-year-old female Lin Hui gave birth to a baby panda weighing about 200 grams.
The pandas, Lin Hui and Chuang Chuang, the zoo’s star residents(居民), had shown no interest in reproducing the traditional way since they both arrived on a 10-year loan from China in 2003. The zoo workers’ effort of artificial insemination(人工授精) worked. The baby panda will officially belong to China but Thailand will raise it for about 24 months, Thanapath said.
Thanapath said Lin Hui is very protective of her child and won’t allow any officials to get close. “She holds the baby very carefully.” he said. “She knows how to be a mother even though she has never been one before.” The baby panda appears to be getting along well with its much larger mother.
The birth appeared on the front pages of many Thai newspapers, which carried photos of the baby which is so tiny that it can be held in the hands of a zoo keeper. Other pictures showed the mother Lin Hui gently holding her baby. Thanapath said, “It is great happiness to see the baby panda.We are so happy that we can breed（繁殖）a panda. Every worker at the zoo is proud and I think every Thai will be proud too.”
Breeding pandas is a common practice in China, where dozens are born each year. But it is a rare thing outside of the country. Giant pandas are among the world’s most endangered animals. Nearly 1,600 pandas are believed to survive in China and about 180 are being raised in zoos worldwide.
41. According to the passage, the two pandas, Lin Hui and Chuang Chuang, ______________.
A. are regarded as the best residents
B. arrived in Thailand four years ago
C. had a baby panda in the traditional way
D. are very popular in the zoo in Thailand
42. The baby panda that Lin Hui gave birht to ______________.
A. will be sent to China in two years        B. is her second baby
C. weighs about one kilogram             D. will stay in Thailand for ten years
43. From Paragraph 3 we learn that Lin Hui_______________.
A. doesn’t know how to protect her baby
B. allows people to touch her baby
C. loves her baby very much
D. always leaves her baby alone
44. We can infer that Lin Hui’s giving birth_________________.
A. set a good example to China          B. was hot news in Thailand
C. was a result of good luck             D. attracted the world’s attention
45. The fact that breeding pandas is a common practice in China indicates that_________________.
A. all pandas in the world should live in China
B. few countries in the world want to breed pandas
C. pandas won’t be in danger in the near future
D. China plays a leading role in breeding pandas

The pay was     39     and it really was a 24-hour-a-day job. The kids never slept!”

The speaker, a teacher from a community college, addressed a sympathetic(贊同的) audience. Heads nodded in agreement when he said, “High school English teachers are not doing their jobs.” He described the inadequacies of his students, all high school graduates who can use language only at a grade 9 level. I was unable to determine from his answers to my questions how this grade 9 level had been established.
My topic is not standards nor its decline(降低). What the speaker was really saying is that he is no longer young; he has been teaching for sixteen years, and is able to think and speak like a mature adult.
　　My point is that the frequent complaint of one generation about the one immediately following it is inevitable. It is also human nature to look for the reasons for our dissatisfaction. Before English became a school subject in the late nineteenth century, it was difficult to find the target of the blame for language deficiencies (缺陷). But since then, English teachers have been under constant attack.
　　The complainers think they have hit upon an original idea. As their own command of the language improves, they notice that young people do not have this same ability. Unaware that their own ability has developed through the years, they assume the new generation of young people must be hopeless in this respect. To the eyes and ears of sensitive adults the language of the young always seems inadequate.
Since this concern about the decline and fall of the English language is not perceived(察覺) as a generational phenomenon but rather as something new and peculiar(特有的) to today’s         young people, it naturally follows that today’s English teachers cannot be doing their jobs. Otherwise, young people would not commit offenses against the language.
小題1: The speaker the author mentioned in the passage believed that _____.
A．the language of the younger generation is usually inferior(差的) to that of the older
generation
B．the students had a poor command of English because they didn’t work hard enough
C．he was an excellent language teacher because he had been teaching English for sixteen
years
D．English teachers should be held responsible for the students’ poor command of English
小題2: In the author’s opinion, the speaker ______.
A．gave a correct judgment of the English level of the students
B．had exaggerated(夸大) the language problems of the students
C．was right in saying that English teachers were not doing their jobs
D．could think and speak intelligently
小題3:The author’s attitude towards the speaker’s remarks is ______.
A．neutral B．positive C．critical D．compromising
小題4:It can be concluded from the passage that ______.
A．it is justifiable(有理由的) to include English as a school subject
B．the author disagrees with the speaker over the standard of English at Grade 9 level
C．English language teaching is by no means an easy job
D．language improvement needs time and effort
小題5:In the passage the author argues that ______.
A．it is unfair to blame the English teachers for the language deficiencies of the students
B．young people would not commit offences against the language if the teachers did their
jobs properly
C．to eliminate(消除) language deficiencies one must have sensitive eyes and ears
D．to improve the standard of English requires the effort of several generations

A good friend of mine was complaining about her son the other day．“Did you notice,” she started, “how he didn’t wait for me to get my salad before he dove into his?”
True enough, the boy attacked his plate faster than a cat in the wild．Without manners, we’re no more than animals．Actually, that’s not true．I’ve been watching and feeding a group of wild cats, and they show unusual politeness toward each other．Even when food is scarce, they take turns, leaving at least a small part for the next in line．
My mother educated her three children to have good manners all the time．We were made to feel very uncomfortable as if we were sitting on pins and needles until we got used to saying please, thank you, pardon me, and I’m sorry．And I have to say, while it was a painful learning experience, it was one of the most valuable．
I can’t tell you how often I sat with my friends, eating at their dinner tables, and their parents thought highly of my good manners．While it was a little embarrassing, I knew even then that my mother’s teachings were paying off．
Many years later, when I was attending seminars across the country, my manners were quite useful．
While I regret that I haven’t been a perfect example, I’m still working on it．I suppose, in this regard, my mother lives on through me．I didn’t have her beautiful singing voice or her green eyes, but she did make sure I received one of her finest characteristics．
小題1:What did the writer’s friend most probably complain about?
A．Her son’s eating too quickly．
B．Her son’s not having a healthy diet．
C．Her son’s not having good table manners．
D．Teenagers’ not having good manners．
小題2:The underlined word “scarce” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”．
A．too muchB．not delicious
C．not enoughD．quite hot
小題3:We learn that the writer’s mother __________．
A．was strict about her children’s manners
B．never punished her children
C．had beautiful blue eyes
D．was not good at singing
小題4:What does the writer think of her experience of learning good manners?
A．Easy and relaxingB．Painful and valuable
C．Easy but uselessD．Too horrible
小題5:We can infer from the passage that the writer _________．
A．is surely liked by everyone around her
B．is not satisfied with most people’s manners around her
C．thinks she has been a perfect example to the young
D．thanks her mother for teaching her the good manners a lot

Packaging is an important form of advertising．A package can sometimes motivate someone to buy a product．For example, a small child might ask for a breakfast food that comes in a box with a picture of a TV character．The child is more interested in the picture than in breakfast food．Pictures for children to color or cut out, games printed on a package, or a small gift inside a box also motivate many children to buy products or to ask their parents to buy for them．
Some packages suggest that a buyer will get something for nothing．Food products sold in reusable containers are examples of this．Although a similar product in a plain container might cost less, people often prefer to buy the product in a reusable glass or dish, because they believe the container is free．However, the cost of the container is added to the cost of the product．The size of a package also motivates a buyer．Maybe the package had “Economy Size” or “Family Size” printed on it．This suggests that the larger size has the most product for the least money．But that is not always true．To find it out, a buyer has to know how the product is sold and the price of the basic unit．
The information on the package should provide some answers．But the important thing for any buyer to remember is that a package is often an advertisement．The words and pictures do not tell the whole story．Only the product inside can do that．
小題1:From the passage we know the buyer pays more attention to __________．
A．the size of a container
B．a(chǎn) container with attractive picture
C．a(chǎn) well-designed container
D．a(chǎn) plain container with low cost
小題2:What suggestion does the author give in the passage?
A．It’s not good to buy the product which is sold in a glass or dish．
B．The quality of a container has nothing to do with the quality of the product．
C．The best choice for a buyer is to buy a product in a plain package．
D．A buyer should buy what he needs most rather than a well-designed package．
小題3:What is the best title for the passage?
A．How to Package a Product．
B．How to Make an Advertisement．
C．How to Sell Product．
D．How to Treat the Package Wisely．

Many people often say there is more stress in today's society than in years past. In fact, these people are comparing our lives with that of the cave man, who didn't have to worry about the stock market or the atomic bomb. They forget that the cave man worried about being eaten by a hear while he was asleep, or about dying of hunger--things that few people worry much about today.
Actually stress is a normal state of affairs, and it's important that people understand what they are talking about when they speak about stress. Whenever anyone experiences something unpleasant, for lack of a better word they say they are under stress. Yet there is such a thing as pleasant stress--as in the case of the Olympic winner at the moment of his glory, or a conductor as his orchestra performs particularly well. They are just sending out excitement, and they are giving off all the stress hormones exactly the same as if they were in low spirits or had just heard of a death in the family. We call the pleasant or healthy kind "eustress” and the unpleasant or unhealthy kind "distress".
Then how can people deal with stress? The secret is not to avoid it but to "do your own thing". It implies doing what you like to do and what you are made to do at your own speed. For most people, it is really a matter of learning how to live and how to behave in various situations, to decide: “Do I really want to take my father's business or be a musician?” If you really want to be a musician, then be one.
64. What can be inferred from the first paragraph?
A. Modern people experiences more stress than the cave man.
B. The cave man experienced more stress than modern people.
C. People don't suffer more stress today; it's just that they think they do.
D. Modern people have the same worries as the cave man did.
65. In which of the following situations will you feel "eustress"?
A. Your favorite football team has lost an important game.
B. You have failed an important examination.
C. You are informed of an accident of your best friend.
D. You have won the first prize in an English competition.
66 The purpose of writing the passage is to let us know _________________________.
A. stress does not necessarily refer to unpleasant experience
B. distress is what people call the pleasant kind of stress
C. an Olympic winner feels the same stress as one who loses a family member
D. people will feel eustress and distress at the same time
67. According to the passage, how can people deal with stress?
A. Do things that you really want to do.    B. Do whatever you're expected to do.
C. Try to do things successfully.          D. Refuse to do whatever you're told to.

Bill Jenkins worked in a big office in the city, and he used to go to the barber’s during working hours to have his hair cut, although this was against the rule: clerks (職員) had to have their hair cut in their own time.
