   Many people think a telephone is essential. But I think it is a pest and a time waster. Very often you find it impossible to escape from some idle or curious chatter-box, or from somebody who wants something for nothing. If you have a telephone in your own house, you will admit that it tends to ring when you are asleep, or in the middle of a meal or a conversation, or when you are just going out, or when you are taking your bath. Are you strong minded enough to ignore it, to say to yourself,“Ah, well, it will all be the same in a hundred years’ time” You are not. You think there may be some important news or messages for you. I can assure you that if a message is really important it will reach you sooner or later. Have you never rushed dripping from the bath, or chewing from the table, or dazed from the bed, only to be told that you are a wrong number?
But you will say, you need not have your name printed in the telephone directory, and you can have a telephone which is only usable for outgoing calls. Besides, you will say, isn’t it important to have a telephone in case of emergency—illness, an accident, or fire? Of course, you are right, but here in a thickly populated country like England one is seldom far from a telephone in case of dreadful necessity.
I think perhaps I had better try to justify myself by trying to prove that what I like is good. I admit that in different circumstances—if I were a tycoon(business VIP),for instance, or bed ridden I might find a telephone essential. But then if I were a taxi-driver I should find a car essential.
Let me put it another way: there are two things for which the English seem to show particular talent; one is mechanical invention, the other is literature. My own business happens to be with the use of words but I see I must now stop using them. For I have just been handed a slip of paper to say that somebody is waiting to speak to me on the telephone. I think I had better answer it. After all, one never knows, it may be something important.
【小題1】The passage is mainly discussing _______.

A．that we should be strong enough to ignore a phone call
B．that important message will reach you sooner or later
C．whether it’s necessary to answer all phone calls
D．whether it is necessary to have a telephone
【小題2】Judging from the passage, who is strong-minded enough to ignore a phone call?
A．The author.B．A tycoon.
C．A taxi-driver.D．Hardly anyone.
【小題3】According to the passage, the author________.
A．thinks the telephone should go out of our life
B．likes to be different from other people
C．thinks the telephone is annoying
D．speaks favourably of a telephone
【小題4】In the author’s opinion, which of the following is NOT true?
A．Nearly everyone has been told a wrong number.
B．It’s necessary for everyone to have a telephone.
C．He himself can not decide whether to answer a call.
D．A telephone directory may bring in unexpected calls.

Should you stay at home to look after your child，or return to work?
Maybe you don’t have the option.Combining work and motherhood is an issue faced by increasing numbers of women every day.
New research for the Institute for Economic and Social Research could solve this quandary once and for all.In short，it concludes that going back to work after the birth of a child can have a negative impact on the child’s development—unless you have lots of money.
“Growing up in a family in which the mother chooses to work appears to have some adverse consequences for children’s welfare，” the research says.However，it adds that extra money brought in by both parents can reduce the negative effect.The negative effect is also less apparent in children of better­educated mothers.
The research by John Ermisch and Marco Francesconi is especially downbeat about welfare to work programmes，and especially，the prospects for the children of some single parents.
“It is hard to see anything but gloomy (陰暗的) prospects for the children of single parents (who are generally poor)，” the researchers said.This is because in a common family where both parents work，extra money brought in by the mother’s working would compensate for less time spent with the children.
In contrast，the researchers said the effects of paternal (父親的) employment were far more modest，but this did not mean that fathers had no role in shaping their children’s welfare.Money brought in by the father would be a major resource for helping children develop.
The research says，however，that before parents get too carried away by worrying about working，there are more important issues facing a child’s development.Parents’ personalities and emotional stability，parenting practices，and the friends and networks that children experience while growing up will be much bigger factors than whether their mothers work.
【小題1】The extra money brought in by both parents________.

A．plays different roles in shaping a child’s welfare
B．can reduce the negative effect on a child
C．has negative effect on a child’s development
D．may damage the life of children
【小題2】The researchers would agree that________.
A．mothers should keep a balance between work and family life
B．the more money mothers make，the worse their children will be
C．mothers should make as much money as they can
D．it would be better for mothers to be with children at home
【小題3】We can conclude from the passage that________.
A．it doesn’t matter how much money a father brings home
B．education is the only factor in shaping a child’s welfare
C．money made by mothers can also contribute to a child’s well­being
D．mothers’ income can have a deeper effect on a child’s development
【小題4】What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A．Whether mothers work is not worth considering.
B．The research shows family stability is important.
C．Parents should stop worrying about working.
D．More important factors are involved in a child’s development.

His name is James，but people call him Rocky.The name fits.He’s big，over six feet tall，and he’s tough when he needs to  be.James “Rocky” Robinson lives and works in New York City’s Bedford­Stuyvesant district，one of the poorest and most dangerous neighborhoods in the United States.Yet it is here in Bed­Stuy that he is saving lives and reviving a community.
In 1966，when Rocky was twenty­six years old，his seven­year­old niece was struck by a car on the street of Bed­Stuy.Had someone at the scene known first aid or CPR，she might have lived.But by the time she reached a hospital，she was dead.
His niece’s unnecessary death was one reason why Rocky became a paramedic (護(hù)理人員)．Working for the Emergency Medical Service of New York City，he realized that more than half the city’s emergency calls came from high­crime areas.According to Rocky，residents of crime­plagued minority neighborhoods like Bed­Stuy sometimes had to wait as long as 26 minutes after calling 911 for an ambulance while calls in richer white communities were answered in_a_fraction_of_the_time.
Rocky decided to find out more about the problem.His research showed that the richer communities had organized their own ambulance corps (特殊部隊(duì)) to improve city services because the city was overwhelmed with calls.“If that’s the key to success，”he told his friend and EMT (Emergency Medical Technician) colleague，Joe Perez，“we’ll start our own corps in Bed­Stuy！”
In 1988，Rocky had no idea that he and Joe would be attempting to establish the first minority­run ambulance service in the country，or just how creative he would have to be to overcome the difficulty.The pair’s first challenge was to find a location for the headquarters.They took over an abandoned building that was commonly used by drug dealers.Because there was no electricity or running water (except for the leaks in the roof)，the two men worked during daylight hours.They used a two­way radio to receive emergency calls.
Although they could make do with their new headquarters，Rocky and Joe still lacked the most important component of an ambulance service：an ambulance.An old Chevrolet (雪佛蘭) got them to the scenes of accidents，fires，shootings，and stabbings.But the car didn’t always start.At times，they were forced to strap (用帶捆綁) their trauma kits and oxygen tanks to their backs and run on foot to the emergencies.Everyone laughed，except the victims who were still alive when  Rocky and Joe arrived.
【小題1】The author believes the name “Rocky” fits James because________.

A．he is a tall and tough man
B．he is tall and does something big
C．he is living in a tough community
D．he leads a tough community
【小題2】James’ seven­year­old niece would have been saved if________.
A．she had been sent to a better hospital
B．she had got first aid and arrived in hospital earlier
C．James had been at the spot
D．emergency calls had been available in the area
【小題3】The underlined phrase in Paragraph 3 means________.
A．in a short time
B．over a long time
C．in the near future
D．from time to time
【小題4】We can infer from Paragraph 4 that________.
A．a(chǎn)mbulance corps were only allowed in rich white communities
B．James found white communities made more emergency calls
C．city services were not enough to meet people’s need
D．it was easy to establish the minority­run ambulance service

With the crazy smog going on in China, businessmen are now ready to grope for your wallet. “Smog economy” is stimulating a shopping spree on certain products against the terrible weather. Now let’s see what we have on the list to help us through the crisis.
1. Masks
Well, I would say you had better stay indoors to save your lives. PM 2.5 just surged up to 750 in Beijing recently. 3M just sold 220,000 masks of a kind. No.1 best-selling products!
2. Air purifiers
This kind of products is rarely seen in Chinese households in the past. They have become a necessity now. I do like these little gadgets, but they are just too expensive.
3. Oxygen inhalers
I didn’t realize oxygen inhalers also get a cut in the smog economy. As a matter of fact, your oxygen uptake has nothing to with relieving (減輕) the impact of smog. It might even lead to oxygen poisoning when you inhale too much oxygen. So don’t get greedy.
4. Salt lamps
Compared to oxygen inhalers, salt lamps are even worse. Some stores are selling the products at several hundred yuan, saying that they can release negative ions(離子), reduce radiation levels and purify the air. The lamps mainly contain sodium chloride. The boiling point of sodium is about 800 degrees centigrade and that of candle is 500. So how on earth can negative ions be released at only 500 degrees?
5. Plants that absorb smog
Yeah, right. Plants Vs Smog. It is scientifically justified (證明) that some plants do absorb pollutants from the air. Money plants and calla lilies are among the best-sellers in the market. Even if they don’t work, it’s good to have some plants in the house anyway.
【小題1】According to the passage, smog _______.

A．give some economic chances to businessmen
B．is very bad to economy
C．makes some crisis come out
D．have nothing to do with the economy
【小題2】What is the meaning of the underlined word?
A．Giving up shopping. B．Feeling down in shopping.
C．Having a lot to buy. D．Buying something enthusiastically.
【小題3】Salt lamps are useless, because_______.
A．it may cause poisoning
B．it actually can’t release the negative ions
C．it reduces radiation level and makes the air dirty
D．the prize is very high
【小題4】How many ways does the author think are useful?
A．2. B．3. C．4. D．5.

I chose to study in Madrid because I had a desire to learn Spanish. My first impressions of Madrid were incredible. It was before the New Year that I arrived in Madrid for the first time. While traveling to my Spanish friend's house in a taxi, I appreciated the buildings along the road which were different from those of my own country.
There are an incredible number of restaurants and bars from all over the world. If you are really into sightseeing, I hope you have rechargeable batteries for your digital camera, because one week really isn't enough time to see everything here including a number of art, science, and historical museums as well as parks, buildings, and amazing landscapes.
What I liked best about life in Madrid was the fact that if you were frustrated with schoolwork and wanted to have some fun, you can easily go out. The nightlife never seems to stop and the people are all very friendly. You can meet people and practice Spanish while having fun at the same time.
What I liked least was the fact that many people smoked in the streets. Also, coming from the US, I was used to having a big breakfast every morning, but while living with an actual Spanish family, I wasn't really satisfied with the food in the morning.
I think I have definitely become more independent since I came back from Spain. Living in a big city like Madrid ,I found that it is necessary to plan ahead and to make a schedule for future. There is so much to see, not just in the Spanish World, but in the European World as well.

A．To attract people to tour around Madrid.

From Avatar to Lord of the Rings, plants are no strangers to playing big movie roles. However, no one has ever shot a film that plants themselves can watch until now. In a New York art gallery, seven house plants have spent the last seven weeks watching Strange Skies, the first travel documentary for a vegetable audience. All the plants sat in the cinema in rows, enjoying themselves in Italian sunshine.
The movie was made by American artist Jonathon Keats. It consists of Italian skies recorded over two months and made into a six-minute-long movie. The film shows the clear dawn(黎明), high clouds, amazing dusk and then beautiful night. The movie has no sound and the plants, of course, do not applaud. But Stephen Squibb, a professor from Harvard University, said these plants could benefit from it—the light of the movie keeps them alive because they can continue the process of turning light into energy.
“I realized there was a much larger audience—plants—that were not being serviced, ”Keats said. “I wanted to provide plants with entertainment that companies such as Disney provide for humans. ”Meanwhile, Keats also wants to explore plants’ sensibilities(敏感性)further. He plans to open a“restaurant for plants”at a Californian museum.
One visitor, photographer Abbas Ebrahimi, admired(羨慕)the green audience, “Plants are better than us. We die and go, while in spring they come back each time. ”But when talking about the movie, he said after thinking for a few minutes, “It doesn’t mean anything to me at all. It’s just about light. For some people, it might mean something. ”
【小題1】What can we learn about Keats according to the passage?

A．He is an artist from Harvard University.
B．He opened a restaurant for plants.
C．He made the film Strange Skies.
D．He liked recording Italian skies.
【小題2】It can be learned that Strange Skies　　　.
A．has already created beautiful sound
B．was shot from dawn to dusk
C．made plants play roles in it
D．is the first travel film for plants
【小題3】What did Stephen Squibb think of Strange Skies?
A．He thought it had explored plants’ sensibilities.
B．He thought it meant nothing to him.
C．He thought it could keep plants growing.
D．He thought it offered entertainment to plants.
【小題4】Why did Abbas Ebrahimi admire the green audience?
A．Because they die and re-grow in spring.
B．Because they mean something to him.
C．Because there are more plants than people.
D．Because they can enjoy the movie.
