Top lists are lecturing people on everything from"100 books to visit " to "100 books to read ".
Aren't you just tired of being told what to do with your time?
Now you have a list to end all lists!
Take a look at the following two examples from the list of "101 things not to do":
Swim with Dolphins(海豚)?
Swimming with dolphins is one of the world’s most profitable tourist activities. However, every dolphin will welcome having their busy, tiring day interrupted by tourists screaming and pushing around them in the water. Worse yet, when dolphins get too near to the boats loaded tourists, they could get caught up in ropes and killed by propellers(螺旋槳).
Here’s a little secret. Dolphins look like smiling at you, but actually they’re just opening mouths.
Go to See the Mona Lisa?
There must be something about the mysterious(神秘的)smile. The 6 million people who visit the lady in the Louvre every year can’t all be wrong, after all. But they can be quite annoying standing in front of you, holding up their cameras to prevent you from seeing anything. In fact, it is hard for you to see the painting clearly because you have to stay away from it for security reasons. After queuing for hours, many tourists can remain in front of the painting only for 15 seconds at most.
If the mysterious lady in the picture knew her fate, she wouldn’t just be smiling, she’d be laughing.
So, still long to see the Mona Lisa? If you want to find out more about the list, read 101 Things NOT to Do Before You Die. Visit www.not2dobeforeidie.co.uk and buy the book at a 20% discount.
【小題1】According to the passage, swimming with dolphins________.

A.is the world’s most popular tourist activity

【小題2】What does the author think about going to see the Mona Lisa?
A.It is wrong to go and see the mysterious smile.
B.Queuing for hours is worthwhile.
C.Fifteen seconds in front of the painting is enough.
D.It is not as satisfying as expected.
【小題3】The list of “101 things not to do” is made most probably because its author_______.
A.thinks it boring to do the things suggested by other lists
B.believes other lists are not humorous enough
C.intends to persuade people to read more lists
D.wants to provide a list different from other lists
【小題4】What is the main purpose of the passage?

One of the major functions of an iPhone is, of course, to play music. The iTunes app has been designed in such a way as to take advantage of the iPhone’s touch screen. But what if you want to listen to music that isn’t in your iTunes library, or you want to discover new music without sitting in front of computer?
There are plenty of ways to access music, but not everyone knows what options are available. Either that, or there are so many options that going through all of them is tiring. For these reasons, here we offer a few convenient ways of listening to music on your iPhone without using iTunes.
Stream some radio (Tuneln Radio)
Tunnel Radio provides a quick and easy way to listen thousands of Internet radio stations on your Apple products. In addition to local radio stations, this app compiles more than 40 000 radio stations from around the country. What makes the app special is that it allows you to pause and rewind live radio----pause your station to take a phone call or rewind to replay a favorite song. You can also browse by genre of location, and the app includes plenty of talks, news, sports and weather stations in addition to music.
From desktop to smartphone (QQ Music)
QQ Music seems like obvious choice, and it is. It’s a streaming service based on the Tencent technology that is already wildly popular on the Internet and now also offers a (free) app. Through this app you can listen to existing playlists or create new ones based on the patterns of music you like. It works amazingly well and everything can be saved to your QQ account for access from a computer.
What was that song? (Shazam)
Shazam is an innovative and free app that cures your“what was that song?”problem. It happens to all of us : we hear a song (on TV or in a store ), love it, know we have heard it before but just can’t remember what it is called . With Shazam you don’t need to. Just hold your iPhone up and through its microphone, Shazam will identify the album, artist and song title for you. You can then either purchase the song in iTunes or search it on other apps for streaming. How cool is that?
【小題1】All of the options are strongly recommended to the users of ________.

A.iTunesB.iPhonesC.computersD.microphones
【小題2】 If you are to enjoy the freedom to go backward or make a phone call without missing anything your are listening, you can turn to_________.
A.Tuneln RadioB.iTunesC.ShazamD.QQ Music
【小題3】What is possibly the best title for the passage?
A.Beyond the MusicB.Streaming Service of Music
C.Get easier accesses to musicD.Get Familiar t o Each Song

We all know how important human life is—it’s priceless. It doesn’t matter where you are from or what the color of your skins is—all people are human beings. Firstly, we can tell you that the lives of your relatives could depend on your ability to give first aid. If you think highly of human’s life, this website is for you! Here you can find information about first aid.
The very first thing that you should do when you see an accident is to evaluate the situation and prevent further dangerous incidents. First of all, you have to recognize what has happened and what the dangers to rescuers and victims are. Think about how to take care of the victims.
Helping usually takes place in very difficult conditions and injuries can be very bad. Therefore, you cannot be too afraid of making mistakes to help. Sometimes you have to face the fact that regardless of your actions and your efforts the victim’s condition might not improve—he or she could even die. In some cases even professional medical aid may not succeed. If you have done everything you think you should do, you shouldn’t feel guilty.
Do not expose yourself to danger. Giving first aid can be dangerous. While trying to help a victim, do not forget about your own safety. If something happens to you, you won’t be able to help anyone.
Call for help after you find out the condition of a victim. But remember if a victim faints due to breathing failure caused by drowning, choking or poisoning, you should first take actions that help to bring back the heart beat and breathing. While calling, talk shortly but clearly. Always provide the following information: the location of the accident, the kind of accident, the number of the injured and your full name and phone number and so on.
【小題1】The underlined word “evaluate” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ________.

A.leave B.protect C.a(chǎn)void D.judge
【小題2】What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3?
A.You should learn some professional knowledge about first aid.
B.You shouldn’t feel guilty if you don’t know about first aid.
C.Try your best to give first aid and don’t be afraid of making mistakes
D.Don’t make mistakes when you are giving first aid.
【小題3】The author thinks that helping a victim can be ____________.
A.risky B.shocking C.exciting D.boring
【小題4】It can be inferred from the passage that __________.
A.everyone must learn how to give first aid
B.you should forget about your own safety while giving first aid.
C.when you see an accident you should do nothing but call the police.
D.when calling for help you should give all relevant details.
