Last Thursday, the day before I got in the plane to fly to China, I went to see a movie. It wasn't just any movie, but the recently released (上映) Harry Potter blockbuster. “The Philosopher's Stone” that has 1 Britain, America, and now Japan, by storm.
The film is a tale of witchcraft 2 in modern-day Britain. Based on a book by J.K. Rowling, 3 tells the story of a very 4 baby, scarred at birth by an evil wizard who kills his parents. The only legacy (遺贈(zèng)物) of the tragedy is a red 5 on the baby's forehead and magical 6 , inherited (繼承) from his mother and father, to fight against and overcome evil.
The Harry Potter myth was founded five years ago by Joanne Rowling, a 7 single mother living in Edinburgh, in the north of the United Kingdom. To date, 110 million 8 of her books have been sold worldwide. But before her publishers would 9 the first manuscript (手稿), Joanne Rowling 10 agree to change her name on the book cover to J.K. Rowling 11 it was feared that children, 12 young boys, 13 not read an adventure story written by a woman. 14 , when the books became an overnight success, did it become generally known that the talented and creative author was 15 a young and attractive woman.
At the start of production, forty thousand 16 actors were auditioned (試演) and 17 for the screen role, yet Daniel Radcliffe was discovered when the producers took a 18 and went out to a theatre in London's west end. There in the 19 row sat young Daniel who was visiting the theatre with his father for an evening's entertainment. Daniel was screen tested and with J.K. Rowling's agreement was immediately 20 the part. Now kids around the world together with their parents are quite familiar with Harry Potter and the actor Daniel Redcliffe.

In order to communicate thoughts and feelings, there must be a conventional system of signs or symbols which mean the same to the sender and the receiver.
The means of sending communications are too numerous and varied for systematic classification; therefore, the analysis must begin with the means of receiving communication. Reception of communication is achieved by our senses. Sight. hearing and touch play the most important roles.
Examples of visual communication are gesture and mimicry. Although both frequently accompany speech, there are systems that rely solely on sight, such as those used by deaf and dumb persons. Another means of communicating visually is by signals of fire, smoke, flags, or flashing lights. Feelings may be simply communicated by touch, such as handshaking or backslapping, although a highly developed system of handshaking has enabled blind, deaf, and dumb persons to communicate intelligently. Whistling to someone, applauding in a theater and other forms of communication by sound rely upon the ear as a receiver. The most fully developed form of auditory communication is, of course, the spoken language.
The means of communication mentioned so far have two features(特點(diǎn))in common; they last only a short time, and the persons involved must be relatively close to each other. Therefore, all are restricted in time and space.
1.Why does the author explain that he will deal with reception of communication first?
[ ]
A.communication actually takes place when the message is received
B.there are more means of receiving than sending communications
C.it is difficult to organize by type the means of sending communications
D.reception of communications involved use of the senses
2.Applauding is specifically mentioned as an example of ________.
[ ]
A.a(chǎn) simple system of visual communication
B.communication by touch
C.gesture and mimicry
D.communication by sound
3.Which of the following statements about communication by touch is true?
[ ]
A.It is possible to communicate intelligently by touch alone
B.Touch must accompany visual communication
C.Touch is not important as a means of communication
D.There is no well-developed system of communication based on touch
4.Which of the following statements about the ways of communicating ideas and feelings mentioned in the passage is false?
[ ]
A.They can be used to communicate over long distances
B.They require both a sender and a receiver
C.They involve use of conventional signs and symbols
D.They utilize the senses for reception
5.The author specifically mentions that speech is ________.
[ ]
A.necessary for satisfactory communication by gesture
B.the only highly developed form system of communication
C.often used when communicating by touch
D.the mast developed form of communication based on hearing

I have a friend named Monty Roberts. He has let me use his horse ranch(養(yǎng)馬場(chǎng))to put on events to raise money for youth at risk programs.
Last time I was there he introduced me by saying, “I want to tell you why I let you use my house. It all goes back to a story about a young man who was the son of an itinerant(流動(dòng)的)horse trainer. When he was a senior, he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to be when he grew up.”
“That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal of owning a horse ranch someday. He put all his heart into the project and wrote about his dream in great detail. He even drew a diagram of a 200-acre ranch, showing the location of the buildings, stables and the track, and even a detailed floor plan for a 4000-square-foot house on it.”
“The next day he handed it in to his teacher. Two days later ,he received a large red “F” on his paper with a note, ‘See me after class.’ The boy went to see the teacher and asked why. The teacher told him there was no way for a young boy like him to do that because owning a horse ranch required much money and resources, and then added ‘If you’ll rewrite his paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your grade.’”
“The boy went home and thought about it long and hard. He asked his father what to do. His father said, ‘Look, son, you have to make up your own mind on this. However, I think it’s a very important decision for you.’”
“Finally, a week later, the boy turned in the same paper without any change and stated, ‘You can keep the F and I’ll keep my dream.’”
“I tell you this story because you are sitting in my 4000-square-foot house in the middle of my 200-acre horse ranch. I still have that school paper framed over the fireplace.”
Don’t let anyone steal your dreams. Follow your heart, no matter what.

teacher thought .
A.he didn’t do a good job in his studies |

3. From the story we can infer that the boy was actually .
A.Monty himself |
B.the author himself |
C.Monty’s friend |
D.a(chǎn)n unknown person |

Hello. It’s one of the first words we learn as babies, yet it’s one of the last words we think to use as adults today. That’s unfortunate, because saying hello is more than just saying hello——it is recognition of another’s worth. How might the world change——how might we change——if we mastered this word? To find out, I spent one month saying hello to every person I met. Here’s what I’ve learned.
It can boost (促進(jìn)) productivity. In one of the few studies ever done on this subject, Allan All day, an assistant professor of special education at Oklahoma State University, had middle school teachers greet their students individually each morning. This exchange of greetings raised the kids’ productivity. School went from impersonal to personal, and that resulted in more class participation and better grades.
Environments influence friendliness. One study found that people in the city were less likely to shake hands with a stranger than those in the countryside. My experience was similar. Whatever the reason, my urban hellos were answered far less often than my rural ones. Similarly, people in vacation spots were far friendlier than those hurrying work downtown.
It’s a form of universal health insurance. It’s impossible to say hello without smiling. And smiling has been shown to lower blood pressure, relieve stress and boost happiness. Apparently, a smile creates a similar effect in the recipient (接受者).
So maybe we can make the world a better place by____________. After a month of doing it, I feel lighter and I have a better sense of well-being.
1. What does the author say about the adults’ saying hello today?
_______________________________________________________________________________
2. Which sentence in the text is the closest in meaning to the following one?
Teachers and students got friendlier so that the students became more active in learning and scored higher in tests.
____________________________________________________________________
3.Fill in the blank in Paragraph 5 with proper words. (within 5 words)
____________________________________________________________________
4.What are the three effects of smiling on health according to the text. (within 8 words)
Smiling can ___________________________________________________________
