The world is filled with smart, talented, educated and gifted people. We meet them every day. A few days ago, my car was not running well. I pulled it into a garage and the young mechanic had it fixed in just a few minutes. He knew what was wrong by simply listening to the engine. I was amazed. The sad truth is, great talent is not enough.
I am shocked at how little talented people earn. I heard the other day that less than 5 percent of American earn more than $100,000 a year. A business consultant (顧問) who specializes in the medical trade was telling me how many doctors, dentists and people like them struggle financially. All this time, I thought that when those students studying medicine graduated, the dollars would pour in. It was this business consultant who gave me the phrase “They are one skill away from great wealth.” When I ask the classes I teach “How many of you can cook a better hamburger than McDonald’s ?”, almost all the students raise their hands. I then ask, “So if most of you can cook a better hamburger, how come McDonald’s makes more money than you?” The answer is obvious---McDonald’s is excellent at business systems. The reason why so many talented people are poor is that they focus on building a better hamburger and know little or nothing about business systems. The world is filled with talented poor people. All too often, they’re poor or struggle financially or earn less than they are capable of , not because of what they know but because of what they do not know.
【小題1】The example mentioned in the first paragraph is to show ______.

A．how little talented people earn
B．the world is filled with talented people
C．he is not good at repairing cars
D．the mechanic is good at repairing cars
【小題2】According to the writer, of 300 million Americans, ____ Americans earn over 100 thousand dollars a year.
A．a(chǎn)bout 0.15 millionB．a(chǎn)bout 1.5 million
C．a(chǎn)bout 15 millionD．a(chǎn)bout 150 million
【小題3】The writer seems to believe that _____.
A．a(chǎn)ll talented people are not rich
B．a(chǎn) person with a talent is sure to become rich
C．a(chǎn) talented person is poor just because he knows too much
D．many talented people earn little because of something they don’t know

As small as the capsules are, they provide more than enough daily necessities(必需品) for visitors. They do have plenty of functions. Each includes independent power sockets, clocks, lights, and flat screen televisions. People can also enjoy wireless Internet service. The basic fee(費(fèi)用) for each capsule is 28 yuan, and guests will be asked to pay an extra 4 yuan every hour. The highest cost could reach 88 yuan per day.
Ta Zan, capsule inn Manager, said, “Capsule inns are similar to Internet cafes. When they first appeared more than 10 years ago, people thought they might not succeed.

Dr. Wiseman started the “l(fā)augh lab” project in September 2001. It is the largest study of humor. Participants are invited to log on the laugh lab website, give a few personal details, tell their favorite jokes and judge the jokes told by other people.
Their project will last for a year, and the organizers hope to finally discover the world’s funniest joke. But there is also a serious purpose. The researchers want to know what people from different nations and cultures find funny. And they want to find out the differences between male’s and female’s sense of humor. The idea is that if we want to understand each other, we have to find out what makes us laugh.
This is a subject that has long interested psychologists (心理學(xué)家) and philosophers (哲學(xué)家). Most of the time, people are not completely honest. We do things that society expects us to and say things that help us get what we want. But laughing cannot be controlled. When we laugh, we tell the truth about ourselves.
By December 2001 over 10,000 jokes had been submitted (公認(rèn)的). This gave the scientists enough evidence to make early conclusions. It seems that men and women do have different senses of humor, for example.
“Our findings show the major differences in the ways in which males and females use humor,” said Dr Wiseman. “Males use humor to appear superior (高傲的，有優(yōu)越感的) to others, while women are more skilled in languages and prefer word play.”
Researchers also found that there really is such a thing as a national sense of humor. The British enjoy what is usually called “toilet humor”. But the French like their jokes short and sharp, “You’re a high priced lawyer. Will you answer two questions for $ 500?” “Yes. What’s the second question?”
The Germans are famous for not having a sense of humor. But the survey found that German participants were more likely to find submitted jokes funny than any other nationality. Perhaps that proves the point. Is this joke funny? I don’t know, but let’s say yes, just to be safe.
Dr Wiseman and his workmates also submitted jokes created by computer. But none of those who took part in the survey found any of them amusing. Perhaps this is relief (安慰). Computers already seem like they can do everything. But at least they should leave the funny things to us.
【小題1】The scientist started the “l(fā)augh lab” project ________.

A．to find the funniest joke in European countries
B．to know what funny people are from different nations and cultures
C．to find out the differences between the male’s and female’s sense of humor
D．to get more personal details about participants
【小題2】The writer gave the examples of the British, the French and the Germans_____.
A．to show that the French people have a better sense of humor
B．to prove the British people have a sense of “toilet humor”
C．to show people from different nations have different senses of humor
D．to prove that the Germans have no sense of humor
【小題3】Which statement is true according to the passage?
A．The jokes by computer are less funny than those by humans.
B．The Germans cannot find the submitted jokes amusing.
C．Males are better at word play compared with women.
D．Females like to use humor to show that they are superior.

The very first capsule hotel to be opened in Shanghai has attracted many budget travelers with its prices, even though it is not fully operational yet.
The hotel consists of 68 "capsules", each 1.1-meters high, 1.1-meters wide and 2.2-meters long. The basic rate is 28 Yuan ($4.22) per person, plus an additional 4 Yuan an hour. The hotel also offers a package of 68 Yuan for 10 hours and 88 Yuan for 24 hours.
All of the capsules are imported from Japan where capsule hotels originated，and each is equipped with independent sockets, clocks, lights, TV and wireless Internet service. The hotel also has a public lavatory(洗手間)，shower room, smoking room and shared guest room.
"This is a huge bargain compared with other budget hotels in Shanghai," said Ta Zan, the owner of the hotel. Ta used to stay at capsule hotels in Tokyo during his undergraduate years and worked at a capsule hotel while he was doing his MBA in Japan in 2005, so he knows how they work and how to make guests feel comfortable.
He based the hotel on capsule hotels in Japan but he has made some special changes based on Chinese guests' habits. "In Japan capsule hotels are usually equipped with bathtubs, but in China people are more willing to take a shower, so we have the shower room," he said. He has also separated the capsules into three snoring (打鼾的) zones so that guests who often snore won't disturb others. Like most of capsule hotels in Japan, the one in Shanghai is for men only.
But the idea of staying in such a compact space is not appealing to everyone. "I feel the idea is like putting a person in a coffin (棺材), and the price is also not that appealing. A bed at a youth hostel in Shanghai costs about 60 Yuan per night," said Wang Lei, a student from Beijing.
【小題1】The first capsule hotels in the world appeared in        .

A．Shanghai B．Japan C．Beijing D．America
【小題2】If you stay in the capsule hotel in Shanghai for 8 hours， you will have to pay      yuan.
A．28 B．60 C．68 D．88
【小題3】What does the underlined word "compact" mean?
A．Dear B．Cheap. C．Close. D．Clean.
【小題4】The capsule hotel in Shanghai differs from those in Japan in that          .
A．it serves men as well as women
B．its capsule is much larger
C．it has a shower room
D．it has no snoring zones
【小題5】We can know from the passage that           .
A．everybody considers the capsule hotel a nice place to stay
B．a(chǎn)ll the capsules of the hotel were made in China
C．each capsule of the hotel has a private lavatory
D．no guest has ever stayed in the capsule hotel in Shanghai

Oscar-winning director Ang Lee' s new epic "Life of Pi" reveals the relationship between a teenage Indian boy and a Bengal tiger. But in reality, the predators(食肉動(dòng)物)are under increasing threat from humans. Animal rights group PETA is hoping to use the popularity of the film to focus people's attention on the real life of Bengal tigers.
With the rising demand for tiger parts from East Asia, illegal hunting remains a tremendous danger for the remaining cat population. Back in 1947, there were 40,000 tigers in India, but the number is experiencing a sharp decline t0 1,706 despite campaigns to protect the animal.
Rising man-animal conflict is also one of the leading causes of decline in tiger numbers. In one of numerous reported attacks on the endangered big cats, villagers near The Bangladesh-India border, armed with sticks and boat oars, set upon the animal suspected to have attacked a local fisherman and beat it to death earlier this month. So far this year, 58 tiger deaths have been reported in the country.
"The first instinct when a tiger is spotted is to just kill it,"grieved Gurmeet Sapal, a wildlife filmmaker. "The feeling of fear and revenge is so strong that it shuts out any other emotion. What we don' t realize is that the tiger never attacks humans until it is forced to. "'
India has been struggling to stop the tiger's decline in the face of the loss of habitat as well that encourages the animals to leave the forest for food. " The tiger's rapidly exhausted prey base causes the predator to go al! out to get its food. Consequently, livestock and human beings become easy prey, which leads inevitably to conflict," says a wildlife conservationist.
Filmmaker Sapal says it is only normal for people to think of the tiger as a dangerous animal, but its image as a human killer bears some injustice. "Tigers never kill for sport nor store meat. They kill their prey only in case of hunger. " 
【小題1】How can PETA take advantage over the hot movie “ Life of Pi ”?

A．PETA can count on the movie to promote people' s awareness of tiger' s life.
B．PETA can make enough money by encourage people to watch the movie.
C．The movie demonstrates that humans and tigers can live in harmony.
D．The movie offers a wonderful opportunity for movie to act in.
【小題2】Why did the villagers beat the tiger to death?
A．Because it was a human killer and attempted to attack people.
B．Because it was suspected to be a threat to local people' s lives.
C．Because local people just followed their instinct to kill it.
D．Because people wanted to carry out their revenge for it.
【小題3】According to the article, when will tigers attack and kill people?
A．When they are annoyed by people.
B．When they have conflict with people.
C．When they are driven to act in the movie.
D．When they are hungry or attacked.
【小題4】What contributes to the facts that livestock and human beings become easy target of tigers?
A．It is easier for tigers to hunt human beings than other animal for food.
B．Tigers are losing their habitat and forced to go out of the woods.
C．People hold a strong belief that tigers are a born threat to their lives.
D．Tigers can't be treated equally as other animal in the forest

In recent years, temperatures in the polar areas are rising faster than anywhere else on Earth. As a result, the ice and the snow are melting at record-setting rates. One result is that sea levels are rising around the world, putting animals and people at risk.
A sheet of ice acts like a huge mirror, reflecting the sun’s energy. But ocean water, which is darker than ice, absorbs a lot of it. This causes the ocean to warm, which in turn speeds up ice melting and which leads to even more open waters. The cycle continues until all the ice is gone.
“As the ice melts, water flows into the oceans, making them less salty. That, along with warmer water temperatures, can harm the creatures that live in, under, and near the ice,” says zoologist Michael Stoddard. “Cold-adapted animals — including polar bears, foxes, hares, and seals — also need ice for travel and survival.”
“Most species of fish, sea spiders, and many other animals and plants that live in the waters of Antarctica don’t live anywhere else,” Stoddard says. “Many of them have special proteins in their bodies keeping them from freezing to death and have other adaptation to the cold that has yet to be explored.”
Therefore, experts are urging us to reconsider the way we live. The fuels that we burn in cars, power stations, and factories are largely to blame for the carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases that are trapping overmuch heat in our atmosphere. If we can produce fewer of these gases, we can help save the polar ice. “Even small things would make a difference, if everyone did them.” Michael Stoddard says, “That’s what we have to figure out in the near future to help save the polar ice and thus protect the oceans and us.”
【小題1】The passage is mainly written to _____.

A．introduce the present situation of the polar areas 
B．warn people against extreme weather 
C．call on people to protect the oceans and humans 
D．a(chǎn)dvertise for volunteers to protect the environment 
【小題2】Paragraph 2 mainly tells us about _______.
A．the ice’s functions 
B．ocean’s quick growing 
C．the cause of sea level rising 
D．the ways of more waters 
【小題3】 From the passage, we can know that _______.
A．most polar animals prefer to live in less salty water 
B．some of the cold-adapted animals mainly feed on ice 
C．many polar creatures have special proteins to keep alive 
D．scientists still don’t know how polar creatures have adapted to the cold 
【小題4】Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A．Polar bears are expanding at a high speed. 
B．Experts advise people not to use fuels at all. 
C．Wildlife worldwide is in the process of dying out. 
D．Global warm is putting animals and humans at risk.
