     For almost two months Dominic York, a 23-year-old hairdresser, wandered about hospitals
all night, wearing a white coat and pretending he was a doctor. Yesterday he proudly claimed in
court that despite his complete lack of medical experience or qualifications, he had saved several
people's lives. He had even been allowed to assist a surgeon during an emergency operation on a
patient who was about to die on something she had swallowed.
    "I watched one of those TV dramas about a hospital and suddenly I felt like playing one of the
roles myself. So I put on a white jacket and a stethoscope(聽診器)and walked around one of the
biggest hospital in London. At first I just watched. Once you learn how doctors talk to patients,
nurses and others doctors, it's easy to take people in," he said.
    One of the patients he treated was Laura Kennan. She had been knocked down by a car and
fainted. When she came to in hospital, York was standing over her.
    "He looked very professional. He told me his name was Doctor Simon. Then he gave me some
sort of injection," she said. And then he suddenly cleared off when a nurse asked who he was. She
didn't think there was anything wrong. "I would never have realized he was a fake if a policewoman
hadn't showed me his photograph a week later. When the policewoman told me who he really was,
I could hardly believe my cars."
     Judge Raymond Adams told York that he was. " shocked and horrified" that he got away with his
deceiving for so long, and then sentenced him to eighteen months in a special prison for criminal with
mental disorders.
     "I can only hope that this will not lead to further problems. After all, you will have considerable
opportunity to study the behaviour of the psychiatrists(精神科醫(yī)生)who will look after you while
you are there. If you try to persuade people that you yourself are a psychiatrist after you are set free,
I shall make sure that you are given a much longer sentence." Judge Adams warned York.
1. York was proud of the fact that ___________.
A. a surgeon let him watch an operation.
B. he could perform some duties of a doctor.
C. he had cheated doctors for so long
D. people thought he could become a real doctor
2. York learned how to behave like a doctor by __________.
A. watching other doctors work      
B. talking to doctors and nurses
C. getting some training and experience    
D. observing doctors while he was a patient
3. Why was Laura Kennan in hospital?
A. She had swallowed something and almost died.
B. She had to have and emergency operation.
C. She had been injured in a road accident.
D. She had lost consciousness while driving.

　　A spirit of adventure, curiosity about different cultures and the desire for a challenge can e found in young people everywhere．More and more students in China are backpacking around the country．

　　According to the China Youth Travel Service, Hainan, Dalian, Zhangjiajie and Qingdao were among the most popular sports for young Chinese backpackers last year．Backpacking allows the traveler a greater sense of independence．

　　“I can no longer put up with the instructions of a tourist guide,”said Huang Ye, a 19－year－old college student in Beijing．“They are always driving you to places that you do not want to go to and trying to make you buy local souvenirs．”

　　Huang likes to travel as a backpacker．She prefers an independent trip that she took with two friends to Jiuzhaigou in Sichuan Province．There, they chose some scenic spots to visit and avoided the masses of tourists．

　　Backpackers see the difficulties of such travel as a challenge．Living on bread and water for days on end, wearing the dame clothes over and over again and carrying a heavy bag on their backs while climbing a mountain are all character－building experiences．

　　But perhaps the greatest challenge that a backpacker faces is not a physical one, but mental．They may face loneliness if they travel alone．

　　Chen Xuewei, 21, suffered when he took off around China last year．“I felt very lonely at the beginning of my journey．A walkman didn’t make me feel better, but rather heightened the sense fo loneliness I felt．I even called up my friends to tell them that I wanted to give up and go back to Beijing,”he recalled．But he kept going．He started to make friends and appreciate the local customs．He took lots of photos to record his trip and now he is glad he stuck it out．

　　Backpackers generally find themselves to be mature after their experiences．“Their travel logs(旅行日志)track their development as people．”“When I feel frustrated, I read my travel log again,”said Tang Weifeng, a postgraduate at Beijing University．“By reading it, I get a sense that I am better off now than I was when I wrote those words by the light of a torch．”

　　Why do human beings still risk their lives under ground and doing one of the dirtiest and most dangerous jobs in this world?A small group of emgineers and robotics experts picture a day in the not-too-distant future when robots and other technology do most of the dangerous mining work．

　　One of the first mining robots was developed five years ago at Carnegie-Mdllon University’s Robotics Institute．It was called Groundhog and it looked like a golf cart,．It used lasers(激光)to“see”in the dark and map given up mines-some of the most dangerous work in the business．

　　The latest model is called Cave Crawler, It’s a bit smaller than grouondhog．a(chǎn)nd even more Advanced．It can take photos and videos and has sensors that can discover the presence of dangerrous gasses．Amazingly．the robot has a real sense of logic(邏輯性)．If it comes acorss something difficult, it gets monentarily punded．It has to think about what to do and where to go next．Sometimes it throws a fit just like a real person．

　　Myles and his colleagues hope that robots like Cove Crawler will one day be used in rescue(營救)operations“A robot could speed up the rescue process by doing discovery(偵察),”says Chuck Whittaker, a roboties engineer at Carnegie-Mellon．“The robot can go ahead and, with its sensors, report what it has found and whether jit is safe for humans to proceed．”

　　Using robots in rescue operations, though, is probliematic, The lasers that guide the robots don’t work in smoky environments so the engineers at Carnegie Mellon have experimnted with sonar(聲納)and radar guidance systems, and with some success．

　　Some experts predict that robots do the most repetitive and dangerous jobs, but won't get rid fo the need for human workers．

　　The English translations of the names of traditional Chinese dishes on menus across the country have caused public discussion about the precision(準確)of the translations．

　　Since more and more foreigners come to China every day, many restaurants around China are providing English translations of their menus．They want to make it easier for foreigners to order Chinese dishes when they travel．Some restaurants also hope that the translations will increase foreigners’ knowledge of Chinese cuisine(烹飪)．

　　But an article in China Youth Daily says the English menu translations haven’t live up to public expectation(期望)．It argues most of the English names of Chinese dishes lack the cultural meaning and attraction of the dishes they describe．Instead, the translations only provide a list of each dish’s ingredients, the article notes．For example, one English name of a Chinese dish appears as “stir-fried mutton slice with Chinese onion and green scallion(蔥爆羊肉)”．

　　Because the English translation focuses only on the ingredients, it fails to describe the dish’s rich cultural meaning and charm．The dish’s beautiful Chinese name, “Fo Tiao Qiang(佛跳墻)”, has a story behind it．Buddhist monks(和尚)are required to eat vegetables only, but they can’t resist(忍住)the delicious dish．So they jump over the temple walls to get a taste of the dish．

　　The article suggests that translators provide more beautiful translations of the names of Chinese dishes．It also notes a more vivid(生動的)English translation is very important to provide international visitors with a better understanding of Chinese cuisine．

(1)

Why do many restaurants provide English translations of their menu?

[　　]

A．

Because they want to show their ingredients in dishes．

B．

Because the public expect them to do so．

C．

Because Chinese dishes are popular．

D．

Because it is convenient for foreigners to order food．

(2)

According to China Youth Daily, what is the main problem of the English menu translation?

[　　]

A．

They are too long to remember．

B．

Many of them are not correct．

C．

They lack cultural meaning and attraction．

D．

They are difficult to learn．

(3)

What can we infer from the story of “Fo Tiao Qiang” dish?

[　　]

A．

Monks can jump high．

B．

Monks lived a poor life．

C．

Old China had little meat for people．

D．

The dish attracted many people because it’s delicious．

　　When asked about happiness, we usually think of something extraordinary, an absolute delight, which seems to get rarer the older we get．

　　For kids, happiness has a magical quality．Their delight at winning a race or getting a new bike is unreserved(毫不掩飾的)．

　　In the teenage years the concept of happiness changes．Suddenly it's conditional on such things as excitement, love and popularity．I can still recall the excitement of being invited to dance with the most attractive boy at the school party．

　　In adulthood the things that bring deep joy-love, marriage, birth-also bring responsibility and the risk of loss．For adults, happiness is complicated(復雜的)

　　My definition fo happiness is “the capacity for enjoyment”．The more we can enjoy what we have, the happier we are．It's easy to overlook the pleasure we get from the company of friends, the freedom to live where we please, and even goo health．

　　I experienced my little moments of pleasure yesterday．First I was overjoyed when I shut the last lunch-box and had the house to myself．Then I spent an uninterrupted morning writing, which I love．When the kids and my husband came home, I enjoyed their noise after the quiet of the day．

　　Psychologists tell us that to be happy we need a mix of enjoyable leisure time and satisfying work．I don't think that my grandmother, who raised 14 children, had much of either．She did have a network of close friends and family, and maybe this is what satisfied her．

　　We, however, with so many choices and such pressure to succeed in every area, have turned happiness into one more thing we’ve got to have．We’ve so self-conscious about our “right” to it that it's making us miserable．So we chase it and equal it with wealth and success, without noticing that the people who have those things aren't necessarily happier

　　Happiness isn't about what happens to us-it's about how we see what happens to us．It's the skillful way of finding a positive for every negative．It's not wishing for what we don't have, but enjoying what we do possess．

(1)

As people grow older, they

[　　]

A．

feel it harder to experience happiness

B．

associate their happiness less with others

C．

will take fewer risks in pursuing happiness

D．

tend to believe responsibility means happiness

(2)

What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 5 and 6?

[　　]

A．

She cares little about her own health

B．

She enjoys the freedom of traveling

C．

閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)所讀內(nèi)容在表格中的空白處填入恰當?shù)膯卧~。 注意:每個空格只填一個單詞。
     When you are in a place where you are hunting for a new job or career, you will find that there are several
things needing your atten tion. Jobs and careers are fewer than you might entirely be prepared for; especially
when satisfying employment is something you need to seriously think about. How are you going to find the job
that you want and how are you going to avoid traps in your way? When you want to make the most out of your job search, take a moment and think about the things that you must avoid at all costs.
     One of the most important rules is, never to compromise on your requirements such that it will negatively
affect your life and peace of mind at a later stage. Keep in mind your basic expectations from a job. It might be
something along the lines of increased monetary pay ment or you might find that it has something to do with
benefits or time off. Whatever it is that you count as your basic requirements, make sure that you do not accept a job without it. Your requirements might be difficult to get, but you have all the rights to try and a chieve them.
     That being said, don't shy away from odd jobs that might actu ally take you to the place that you want to be
in, eventually. Some- times, finding the right job is a matter of luck and chance after you have been searching
and putting in a lot of efforts. And if something unexpected happens, remember that taking chances is something you might want to seriously consider. You are in a place where you are thinking about moving forward, so
don't be surprised by what route it might take to get there. As long as you keep your goals in mind, you are going to be doing much better than other people are during their job search.
     If you are looking for the right career, another thing that you can do to make sure that you get the right kind of employment is to advertise yourself. When you do nothing to push yourself forward, you will be the one
suffering for it. If required, motivate yourself and try to look at all that you possess by way of positive traits.
Make sure that you can present your skills and abilities in the best light possi ble. If the jobs that you have set
your sights on are challenging, set targets for yourself and work towards them in a systematic and fo cused
manner. The more efforts you put into marketing yourself, the better will be your chances of obtaining the job
of your choice.
     Remember that when you are working on a job search, you should not shortchange yourself. This is because you will only hurt yourself by aiming low.
     What to avoid during your job search
