Do you dream of a huge comfortable bed? Nearly everyone does. This is not only because rest is necessary for life, but also because there's comfort in a large bed. It's wonderful to stretch out. The narrow single bed really means lonely life in rented rooms. SO, many people buy beds which are even bigger than the traditional double bed. Here, in comfort, they can spend a third of their lives asleep.
Perhaps this was why a man called Sir Henry Fanshawe asked a carpenter(木匠)to build the biggest bed in England, called The Great Bed of Ware. It was made in about 1580 and soon became famous, for in 1596 a German traveler saw it and noted that it was wide enough for four couples. Poets and play-writers ( including Shakespeare in “Twelfth Night”)often mentioned it.
This is not surprising for it is a grand piece of work. It is made of oak(橡木)and measures 3.3 metres in length and width. Except for its size, it is like other beds of the period, a fourposter bed. The posts, the headboard and the cover are richly decorated. The headboard in particular had carved and painted figures and two panels of inlaid wood which show special structure.
The Great Bed of Ware became a curiosity. In 1610 it was placed in a small hotel, the Saracen's Head, in the town of Ware. People came to see it and those who slept in it carved some words and their names on the woodwork, just like modern tourists .Over the years, the bed became covered with words, names and dates, the earliest date is 1653. During the nineteenth century, the old bed was moved from one hotel to another until it was finally shown to the public at two pence a head.
1．The Great Bed of Ware ________.
[ ]
A．is shown to the public in the Saracen's Head; one ticket costs two pence
B．was named after the carpenter
C．is big enough for eight persona to sleep in
D．was made because people spend a third of their lives asleep
2．Ware is the name of ________.
[ ]
3．We can learn from the passage that ________.
[ ]
A．a(chǎn) narrow single bed at home stands for lonely life
B．a(chǎn) German tourist had an effect on making the Great Bed well-known in the world
C．the Great Bed was shown in “Twelfth Night”
D．it is its size that makes the Great Bed look like other beds of that time
4．How many years has it been since the first date was carved on the Great Bed?

閱讀下面短文，從每題所給的四個選項(A，B，C和D)中，選出最佳選項。
Faces, like fingerprints, are unique. Did you ever wonder how it is possible for us to recognize people? Even a skilled writer probably could not describe all the features (特征) that make one face different from another. Yet a very young child or even an animal, such as a pigeon, can learn to recognize faces. We all take this ability for granted.
We also tell people apart by how they behave. When we talk about someone's personality, we mean the ways in which he or she acts, speaks, thinks and feels that make him or her different from others.
Like the human face, human personality is very complex. But describing someone's personality in words is somewhat easier than describing his face. If you were asked to describe what a “nice face” looked like, you probably would have a difficult time doing so. But if you were asked to describe a “nice person,” you might begin to think about someone who was kind, considerate, friendly, warm, and so forth.
There are many words to describe how a person thinks, feels and acts. Gordon, an American psychologist, found nearly 18 000 English worlds characterizing differences in people's behavior. And many of us use this information as a basis for describing his personality. Bookworms, conservatives, military types
people are described with such terms.
People have always tried to “type” each other. Actors on early Greek theater stage wore masks to show the audience whether they played the villain's(壞人) or the hero's role. In fact, the words “person” and “personality” come from the Latin persona, meaning “mask”. Today, most television and movie actors do not wear masks. But we can easily tell the “good guys” from the “bad guys” because the two types differ in appearance as well as in actions.
1．The main idea of this passage is ________.
[ ]
A．how to recognize people's faces
B．how to describe people's personality
C．how to tell apart people both inward and outward
D．how to tell good persons from bad persons
2．Which of the following is NOT true?
[ ]
A．Different people may have different personalities.
B．People differ from each other in appearance.
C．People can learn to recognize faces.
D．People can describe all the features of others.
3．The reason why it is easier to describe a person's personality in words than his face is that ________.
[ ]
A．a(chǎn) person's face is more complex than his personality
B．a(chǎn) person's personality is easily recognized
C．people's personalities are very alike
D．many words can he used when people try to describe one's personality
4．We learn from the passage that people put a person into a certain type according to ________.
[ ]
A．his way of acting and thinking
B．his way of speaking and behaving
C．his learning and behavior
D．his physical appearance and his personality

NEW YORK (AP) — In a report, the Pew Internet and American Life Project said 47 percent of U.S. adult Internet users have looked for information about themselves through Google or another search engine.
That is more than twice the 22 percent of users who did in 2002, but Pew senior research specialist Mary Madden was surprised that the growth wasn’t higher than it had been expected.
“Yes it’s doubled, but it’s still the case that there’s a big chunk of Internet users who have never done this simple act of connecting their names with search engines,” she said. “Certainly more and more people have become aware of this, but I don’t know it’s necessarily kept pace with the amount of content we post about ourselves or what others post about us.”
About 60 percent of Internet users said they aren’t worried about the extent of information about themselves online, although they are increasingly concerned over how that data can be used.
Americans under 50 and those with more education and income were more likely to self-Google---in some cases because their jobs demand a certain online persona(形象).
Meanwhile, Pew found that 53 percent of adult Internet users admit to looking up information about someone else, famous people not included.
Often, it’s to find someone they’ve lost touch with. But looking up information about friends, relatives, colleagues and neighbors also was common.
Although men and women equally searched for online information about themselves, women were slightly more likely to look up information about someone they are dating.
In many cases, the search is not harmful, done to find someone’s contact information. But a third of those who have conducted searches on others have looked for public records, such as bankruptcies(破產(chǎn)) and divorce proceedings. A similar number have searched for someone else’s photo.
Pew also found that teens were more likely than adults to limit the range of people who can see their information at an online hangout like Facebook or News Corp.’s MySpace, contrary to conventional wisdom.
“Teens are more comfortable with the applications in some ways, (but) I also think they have their parents and teachers telling them to be very careful about what they post and who they share it with,” Madden said.
Mary Madden was surprised at the result that ______.
A. fewer and fewer adult Internet users are looking for information about themselves
B. the number of adult Internet users looking for information about themselves has doubled
C. more adult Internet users should have looked for information about themselves
D. so many people don’t know how to connect their names with search engines
According to the report some people haven’t looked for information about themselves because ______.
A. they are not rich enough to get a computer
B. they are not well educated
C. they don’t know they can look for their own information on the Internet
D. they think it unnecessary to look for their own information on the Internet
Which group of people are more likely to look for their own information on the Internet?
A. Teens. B. Women. C. The old. D. The educated.
People look for others’ information on the Internet mainly to ______.
A. see what they are doing B. find someone they have lost touch with
C. have a look at their photos D. know their personal affairs

Actually, 5 text messages or writing micro-blogs allows us to 6 thoughts.
