　　Mattel Inc．is recalling 4.4 million Polly Pocket toys with magnets(磁鐵)after some of them caused serious injuries to children who swallowed magnets that fell off．Tiny magnets inside the toys may fall off without being noticed by parents and babysitters．The magnets can be swallowed or placed in children' s noses or ears．When more than one magnet is swallowed, the magnets can attract each other and cause intestine perforations(腸內(nèi)穿孔)which can be deadly．

　　The Consumer Product Safety Commission received 170 reports of the magnets coming out of these recalled toys．There were three reports of serious injuries to children who swallowed more than one magnet．All three suffered intestine perforations that required operations．A 2-year-old child stayed in hospital for 7 days and a 7-year-old child was hospitalized for 12 days．

　　The recalled Polly Pocket toys contain plastic dolls and accessories(附件)that have small magnets．The magnets measure one-eighth inch in diameter(直徑)and are fixed in the hands and feet of the dolls, and even in the plastic clothing, hairpieces and other accessories to help the pieces stay on the dolls or the dolls' houses．

　　The model number is printed on the bottom of the largest pieces on the toys．Contact Mattel if you cannot find a model number on your product to determine if it is part of the recall．Polly Pocket magnetic toys currently sold in stores are not included in this recall．The model numbers included in the recall are：B2632, B3158, B7118, G8605, H1537 and H3211．The toys were on sales in department stores and toy stores from May 2006 through September 2009．

　　One morning, when we had been riding on our bikes for five hours, we came to a bridge where the railway crossed a pond (池塘). For 30 feet there was nothing but the widely-spaced wooden sleepers(枕木)under our wheels, and nothing to stop us falling into the steaming pond below if we lost our balance. Right under the bridge lay the body of a dead cow. I watched Mat as he came near to the bridge and rode straight over, without even slowing down. I stopped.

　　‘What's up?’ he cried out from the other side.

　　‘I'm not riding over that thing, if I slip(滑), I'll be in there with that cow’.

　　‘There is nothing to it. I just did it, didn't I?’

　　‘You're strong and taller. My feet don't touch the ground. You do it for me. ’

　　Mat said strength didn't come into it and rode off. I knew he would give me at least an hour before coming to help. The sun burned my face, sweat ran off my forehead into my eyes and stuck my blouse to my body. Try myself rather than wait for Mat to help. I rode back to get a good run-up and over I went. Mat was that right: all the difficulties were in the mind.

1． The bridge looked dangerous to the girl because ________ .

[　　]

A．there was a 30 feet drop to the water below

A．didn't know that he could do to help her

　　Chess must be one of the oldest games in the world. An Arab traveller in India in the year 900 wrote that it was played “l(fā)ong, long ago”. Chess was probably invented in India, and it has been played everywhere from Japan to Europe since 1400. The name“chess”is interesting. When one player is attacking the other's king, he says, in English,“check”. When the king has been caught and cannot move anywhere, he says“check mate”. These words come from Persian (波斯語(yǔ)).“Shah mat”means “the king is dead”. That is when the game is over, and one player has won.

　　Such an old game changes very slowly. The rules have not always been the same as they are now. For example, at one time the queen could only move one square at a time. Now she is the strongest piece on the board. It would be interesting to know why this has happened! Chess takes time and thought, but it is a game for all kinds of people. You don't have to be a champion in order to enjoy it. It is not always played by two people sitting at the same table. The first time the Americans beat the Russians was in a match played by radio. Some of the chess masters are able to play many people at the same time. The record was when one man played 400 games! It is said that some people play chess by post. This must make chess the slowest game in the world.

(1)Which of the following is known to be true?

[　　]

A．Chess is an old Indian travelling game.

B．Chess is the oldest game in the world.

C．Chess was played in Japan and Europe before 1400.

D．Chess was played in India long before 900.

(2)One player has won the game when ________.

[　　]

A．he attacks the other player's king

B．he says some Persian words

C．the other player's king cannot move anywhere

D．he says“check”to the other player

(3)Which of the following will you hear when one player has won the game?

[　　]

A．Shah mat.　　　　　　　　B．Check.

C．The king is dead.　　　　　D．Check mate.

(4)Which of the following is NOT correct?

[　　]

A．All kinds of people can play chess.

B．Only two people can play chess sitting at the same table.

C．Some people write to each other playing chess.

D．The Russian lost the game played by radio.

(5)According to the old rules of the game ________.

[　　]

A．the queen was the strongest piece on the board

B．the king had to be attacked all the time

C．the queen could move no more than one square at a time

D．the king could not move anywhere

閱讀理解

　　Ask most American children what they want to be when they grow up, and they probably will say“doctor”or“l(fā)awyer”．

　　Though our culture, our economy(經(jīng)濟(jì))，indeed our very security(安全)are heavily dependent on science and engineering, only 12 percent of American high school students graduate with the prerequisites(先決條件)for a career in science or engineering．

　　Don't be too surprised．If you ask further why the majority of the high school students would choose a career in medicine or law, the answers will be straight out of some popular TV shows．

　　“Doctors help people．They save lives．”“Lawyers beat the bad guys．”Most students would say．

　　Now, how about science or engineering as a career choice?The answers will be just as predictable(可預(yù)見的)，“Get real!Who wants to be a geek?They all are nerds．Besides I hate maths．”

　　In our media, scientists and engineers typically are described as introverted(內(nèi)向的)and humorless．They always wear white lab coats with a collection of pencils in their pocket protectors．They wear glasses with black plastic frames．

　　If more students are to choose technical careers, they must have a better view presented to them．

　　They need to be told, for example, that the invention of lifesaving equipment saves lives just as surely as the application(應(yīng)用)of it in the hospital．

　　It also might help if someone points out to students that the lawyer who saved the defendant(被告)by introducing the DNA evidence(證據(jù))would have seen him hanged had it not been for the scientists who discovered DNA．

　　Whatever we do, until students stop thinking of the term“engineer”as a synonym (同義詞)“geek”, it is impossible to expect our children to change their views towards scientists and engineers．

(1)

Which of the following has influenced American students greatly in their choice of their careers?

[　　]

A．

Parents'opinions．

B．

TV shows and publications．

C．

Security measures．

D．

Culture and economy．

(2)

What kind of person do you think a geek or nerd is?

[　　]

A．

Someone who is boring, unfashionable or unsociable．

B．

Someone who loves the career of a scientist or engineer．

C．

Someone who is good at mat hs and loves science．

D．

Someone who is full of unreal ideas in the head．

(3)

In order to change the students'view towards scientists and engineers, the writer suggests that ________．

[　　]

A．

teachers reconsider their way of teaching mathematics

B．

scientists and engineers change their images a little bit

C．

students be told about the wonders of science and engineering

D．

the media stop praising doctors and lawyers too much

(4)

Judging from what is said in the passage, the writer obviously believes that ________．

[　　]

A．

scientists and engineers are more important than doctors and lawyers

B．

there are too many scientists and engineers nowadays

C．

American children are hopeless

D．

science and engineering have been dangerously ignored
