It really made my day and Thanksgiving week get off to such a wonderful start !

Winston Churchill once described Russia as “a riddle wrapped in a mystery（謎） inside a puzzle”. Observers of Russia in the 21st century could surely say the same of the country’s president, Vladimir Putin.
Born in Leningrad, six months before the death of Stalin, the young Putin experienced a poverty-stricken childhood but received a good education. He developed lifelong interests in judo and spy novels, and first applied to the KGB(蘇聯國家安全委員會) at the age of 17. When they told him to go away and come back with a degree, he completed with an efficiency(效率) that would later serve him well.
Putin used his KGB training, plus his own discipline and common sense, in a series of jobs. He became acting President on 31 December 1999, when president Boris Yeltsin resigned in a surprising move. Putin won the 2000 presidential election and in 2004 he was re-elected for a second term lasting until 7 May 2008. 
Due to term limits, Putin was unable to run for a third presidential term. After the victory of  Dmitry Medvedev, in the 2008 presidential elections, he was appointed to be Russia’s Prime Minister.
Putin is regarded as one bringing political stability and re-establishing the rule of law. During his presidency, Russia’s economy(經濟) bounced back, seeing GDP increase by 72%, poverty cut more than half, and average monthly salaries increase from $80 to $640. Analysts have described Putin's economic reforms as impressive. At the same time, his conduct in office has been questioned by political opposition at home, foreign governments, and human rights organizations for leading the Second Chechen War, and for his record on human rights and freedoms.
Whether he wants to drive Russia into a new stage, or believes in the values of its Soviet past, he is determined to put his nation back on its feet. To do this, Vladimir Putin may have to show his true colors sooner rather than later.
小題1: What would be the best title for the text?
A．The Mysterious President of Russia
B．Russia’s High-growth Economy
C．Russia’s Far Past and Near Future
D．The Political Situation in Russia
小題2: Which of the following helps Putin’s success in presidential election?
A．His family background.B．His belief in Soviet.
C．His efficiency in jobs.D．His love for freedom.
小題3: What happened in Russia during Putin’s presidency?
A．The number of the poor reduced to 50%.
B．Every Russian enjoyed equal rights.
C．Russia’s economy picked up rapidly.
D．Russian people lived a peaceful life.
小題4:  What can we learn about Putin from the text?
A．He gains respect of foreign governments.
B．He always fought for human rights.
C．He ran for president a third time.
D．He is a politician of great achievements.

Someday a stranger will read your e-mail without your permission or scan the websites you’ve visited. Or perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit card purchases or cell phone bills to find out your shopping preferences or calling habits.
In fact, it’s likely some of these things have already happened to you. Who would watch you without your permission? It might be a spouse, a girlfriend（配偶）, a marketing company, a boss, a cop or a criminal, Whoever it is, they will see you in a way you never intended to be seen -- the 21st century equivalent of being caught naked.
Psychologists tell us boundaries are healthy, that it’s important to reveal yourself to friends, family and lovers in stages, at appropriate times. But few boundaries remain. The digital bread crumbs （面包屑）you leave everywhere make it easy for strangers to reconstruct who you are, where you are and what you like. In some cases, a simple Google search can reveal（泄露）what you think. Like it or not, increasingly we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret.
The key question is: Does that matter?
For many Americans, the answer apparently is "no."
When opinion polls ask Americans about privacy, most say they are concerned about losing it A survey found an overwhelming pessimism（悲觀）about privacy, with 60 percent of respondents saying they feel their privacy is "slipping away, and that bothers me."
But people say one thing and do another. Only a tiny fraction of Americans change any behaviors in an effort to preserve their privacy. Few people turn down a discount at tollbooths （收費處）to avoid using the EZ-Pass system that can track automobile movements. And few turn down supermarket loyalty cards. Privacy economist Alessandro Acquisti has run a series of tests that reveal people will surrender personal information like Social Security numbers just to get their hands on a pitiful 50-cents-off coupon (優(yōu)惠券).
But privacy does matter -- at least sometimes. It’s like health: When you have it, you don’t notice it. Only when it’s gone do you wish you’d done more to protect it.
小題1:What would psychologists advise on the relationships between friends?
A．Friends should open their hearts to each other.
B．There should be a distance even between friends
C．Friends should always be faithful to each other.
D．There should be fewer disputes between friends.
小題2:Why does the author say "we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret" ?
A．Modern society has finally evolved into an open society.
B．People leave traces around when using modern technology.
C．There are always people who are curious about others’ affairs.
D．Many search engines profit by revealing people’s identities.
小題3:What do most Americans do with regard to privacy protections?
A．They change behaviors that might disclose their identity.
B．They use various loyalty cards for business transactions.
C．They rely more and more on electronic devices.
D．They talk a lot but hardly do anything about it.
小題4:According to the passage, privacy is like health in that ______.
A．people will make every effort to keep it
B．its importance is rarely understood
C．it is something that can easily be lost
D．people don’t cherish it until they lose it

Few people would ever think of beginning a career at the age of 76, but one American most famous artist did just that. Anna Mary Robertson, better known as “Grandma Moses”, turned to painting because she could no longer take an active part in the funning of her farm. As she searched for something to do, she discovered painting--- an activity she had loved as a child.
Grandma Moses painted in primitive style, and her works are simple and basic — almost childlike in their composition. She first painted only for her own pleasure, and then began to sell her works for small sums of money.
In 1939, an art collector named Louis Caldor chanced to see several of Granma Moses’ works hanging in a store. He liked them, bought them at once, and set out to look for more. Caldor held a show to introduce the works of Grandma Moses to the art world.
Grandma Moses passed away on December 13,1961, at the age of 101, who had enjoyed a second career that lasted a quarter of a century.
小題1:Before becoming an artist, Grandma Moses _______ .
A．wrote several good booksB．managed a farmC．was a housewifeD．worked as a nurse
小題2: Grandma Moses’ art career lasted ______ .
A．101 yearsB．76 yearsC．25 yearsD．22 years
小題3:Even if no one had bought her paintings, Grandma Moses probably would have ________.
A．continued to paint anywayB．gone back to farming
C．given up paintingD．spent the rest of her life in peace
小題4: The story is mainly about­­­_______ .
A．pictures in primitive styleB．a successful art collector
C．a great American artistD．the secret of living longer
