It is have xxxxxx that clothing manufacturcrs（生產(chǎn)商）follow certa a untharm standards far yarious featurce（特征）of clothes. What seerns strange, however. Is that the xxxxxx adopted for women is the opposite of the one for men. Take a look at the way your clodns buntm. Men’s clothes tend to button from the right, and women’s form the left. Lonsidering most of the world’s popalation—men and women—are right-handnd, the men’s standard would apper inake more sense for women. Xxxxx why do women’s clethes bution from the left?
Histov mally coms to matter here. Buttons finst appcaned only on the lothes or the rich in the 17th camary. When rich women were dressed by servents. For the mostly right-hand-d servants, having women’s shirts button from the left would be easier. On the other hand, having men’s shirt button from the right made secse.too. Most men dressed themselves, and a swont drawn from the lelt with the right hand would be lese likely to get catght in the sairt.
Tady women are seldom dressed by scryants. Hat tuaoning from the lefts still the standard for them. Is it intcesting? Actually, a standoont, once set, resists change. At a time when all women’s shirts buttoned from the left, it would have been risky for any sigle manufactura is offer women’s shirts that battoned from the right. After all, women had grown so used to shirts whirt unored from the left and would have to devclop new habits and skills to switch. Benides, come women might have found it socially awkward to appear in public wearing shirts that buttoned from the right, since anyone who rociced that would believe they were wearing men’s shirts.
64.What is surprising about the standard of the clothing industry?
A.It has been followed by the industry for over 400 years.
B.It is different for men’s clothing and women’s.
C.It works better with men than with women.

B.They were interested in historical matters.
C.They were mostly dressed by servants.
D.They drew their swords from the left.

In China, more and more middle school students are getting shorter sleeping time than before. More students sleep less than nine hours every night, because they have much homework to do. Some homework is given by their teachers, and some by their parents. Also, some students don’t know how to save time. They are not careful enough while they do their homework, so it takes them a lot of time. Some students spend too much time watching TV or playing computer games. They stay up very late. Some students have to get up early every morning on weekdays to get to school on time by bus of by bike . It can be a long way from home to school. It will probably make them sleepy during school hours.
Schools and parents should cut down some of the homework so that our children can enjoy more than nine hours of sleep every night for their health. For children, they should make the most (best use) of their time. When they have enough time for sleeping they will find it much better for both their study and health.

Life-changing disaster awaits the drunken driver. And he is proof.
At just 18 years of age, he could be a classmate or a friend, and that familiarity adds to the power of his words. He has spoken to more than 2,500 high school students so far, and he has noticed their unusual silence.
"A lot of teachers say, 'Don't drink,' but I'm not going to say that, because I know that students are going to do it," Nepola says. "I just say, 'Don't get in a car.' "
One year ago, Nepola, having been with friends drinking, lost control of his car and was thrown into trees 20 feet away. He was found covered in blood, with many bones broken.
At Hackensack University Medical Center, his skull was opened to relieve pressure on his brain. He was diagnosed with traumatic（創(chuàng)傷性）brain injury and remained in a coma（昏迷）and on life support for nearly three weeks.
At Children's Specialized Hospital in New Brunswick, N.J. physical therapist Erin Leahy initially found Nepola unable to move the right side of his body. But by the end of his six-week stay, he was able to walk out of the building. Leahy called that an inspiration and a miracle.
But Nepola's recovery is incomplete. Brain and muscular therapy has helped him regain movement in his right arm, but he still struggles with his right hand.
In the process of recovery, Nepola has thought deeply about what happened and why, and decided to share his story. Encouraged by his trauma doctor, Sanjeev Kaul, he teamed with Gonzalez and began attending assemblies in April.
He said he was nervous at first, but has grown used to the spotlight. And his rehabilitation（康復）and visible trauma help him draw serious attention from students.
Besides, "I'm not a wall," he said. "I feel like I know how to talk to people."
Driving drunk, he tells students, is like playing Russian roulette（俄羅斯輪盤賭博）: "You might do it a bunch of times, but something is going to happen."
Now, his days are all about the therapy, work and going to the gym. Mentally, he says, "I’m a lot happier in my life."
1. The main purpose of the text is to ______.
A. tell readers about the dangers of driving a car
B. warn students about the dangers of drinking
C. tell readers about Michael Nepola’s recovery experience
D. advise people not to drive a car after drinking
2. As a eighteen year old boy, Nepola story is powerful because ______.
A. his family supported him
B. his classmate and friend never gave up him
C. his classmate and friend are familiar with him
D. he is just like one classmate or friend we know
3. What does the underlined sentence mean?
A. A drunk driver will eventually have a serious accident.
B. Drunk driving is as risky as it is excited.
C. Drunk driving can be fun if the driver is experienced.
D. An experienced driver can drive drunk successfully.
4. After the accident, Michael Nepola came to ______.
A. make a full recovery
B. recover at a magical speed
C. be eager for more adventure
D. enjoy life more despite his physical condition
5. What can we infer from the article?
A. Michael Nepola believes his accident was the result of bad luck.
B. Michael Nepola thinks that students shouldn’t get drunk.
C. Michael Nepola wants to warn young people about the dangers of drunk driving.
D. Michael Nepola still doesn’t care about his future or college.

Kong Zi. called Confucius(551-479 B. C. ). and Socrates (469-399 B. C. )lived only a hundred years apart, and during their lifetimes there was no contact between China and Greece, but it is interesting on look at how the world that each of there great philosophers came from shaped their ideas, and how these in turn, shaped their societies.
Neither philosopher lived in times of peace, though there were more wars in Greece than in China. The Chinese states were very large and feudal, while the Greek city-states were small and urban. The urban environment in which Socrates lived allowed him to be more radical(激進的)than Confucius. Unlike Confucius, Socrates was not asked by rulers how to govern effectively. Thus Socrates was able to be more idealistic, focusing on issues like freedom and knowledge for its own sake, on the other hand, advised those in government service, and many of his students went on to government service.
Confucius suggested Rule as a principle for the conduct of “Do not do to others what you would not want others to you. ”He assumed that all men were equal at birth, though some potential than others, are that it was knowledge that set men apart. Socrates focused on individual, and thought that the greatest purpose of man was to seek wisdom. He believed that some had more potential to develop their reason than others did. Like Confucius, he believed that the superior class should rule the inferior(下層的)classes.
For Socrates, the family was of no importance, and the community of little concern. For Confucius, however, the family was the centre of society, with family relations considered much more important than political relations.
Both men are respected much more today than they were in their lifetimes.
1.Which of the following is TRUE according to the first paragraph?
A.Socrates and Confucius had much in common.
B.Confuius had much influence on Socrates ideas.
C.The societies were influenced by the philosophers’ ideas.
D. there were cultural exchanges between China and Greece.
2.Socates snared wih Confucius the idea that_________.
A.all men were equal when they were born
B.the lower classes should be ruled by the upper class
C.the purpose of man was to seek freedom and wisdom
D.people should not ask others to do what they did not want to
3.What made some people different from others according to Confucius?
A.Family                      B.Potential                   C.Knowledge                D.Community
4.This passage is organized in the pattem of_________
A.time and events                      B.comparison and contrast
C.cause and effect                      D.definition and classification

All day long he flew, and at night-time he arrived at the city. “Where shall I put up?” he said; “I hope the town has made preparations.”
Then he saw the statue(雕像) on the tall column.
“I will put up there, ” he cried; “it is a fine position, with plenty of fresh air.” So he flew down and settled just between the feet of the Happy Prince.
“I have a golden bedroom,” he said softly to himself as he looked around, and he prepared to go to sleep; but just as he was putting his head under his wing, a large drop of water fell on him.
“What a curious thing!” he cried; “there is not a single cloud in the sky, the stars are quite clear and bright, and yet it is raining. The climate in the north of Europe is really terrible. ”
Then another drop fell.
“What is the use of a statue if it cannot keep the rain off?” he said; “I must look for a good chimney-pot,” and he determined to fly away.
But before he had opened his wings, a third drop fell, and he looked up, and saw –AH! What did he see?
The eyes of the Happy Prince were filled with tears, and tears were running down his golden cheeks. His face was so beautiful in the moonlight that the little Swallow was filled with pity.
“Who are you? ” he said.
“ I am the Happy Prince. ”
“ Why are you weeping(哭泣) then?” asked the Swallow; “you have quite wetted me.”
“When I was alive and had a human heart, ” answered the statue, “I did not know what tears were, for I lived in Palace of Sans-Souci(無憂宮)，where sorrow is not allowed to enter. In the daytime I played with my companions in the garden, and in the evening I led the dance in the Great Hall. Round the garden ran a very high wall, but I never cared to ask what lay beyond it, everything about me was so beautiful. People called me the Happy Prince, and happy indeed I was, if pleasure be happiness. So I lived, and so I died. And now that I am dead they have set me up here so high that I can see all the ugliness and all the misery of my city, and though my heart is made of lead(鉛), yet I can’t choose but weep.”
“ What! Is he not solid gold? ” said the Swallow himself. He was too polite to make any personal remarks out loud.
1. The Swallow wanted to put up when he arrived at the city because_______.
A. he saw the Statue of the Happy Prince.
B. he flew into a lovely golden bedroom.
C. he had a whole-day flight and wanted to sleep.
D. it was night and a rain was likely to come soon.
2. Why did the Swallow feel curious when a drop of water fell on him?
A. Because of the heavy rain though there was no cloud in the sky.
B. Because the statue couldn’t keep the rain off though made of gold.
C. Because he thought it was raining despite bright and clear stars.
D. Because he couldn’t understand why the Happy Prince was weeping.
3. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Seeing the Prince’s beautiful face, the Swallow had pity on him.
B. The Swallow flew away immediately he found it was raining.
C. The Prince lived happily because he didn’t know what tears were.
