Somali pirates(海盜) robbed three Thai fishing ships with 77 sailors on board nearly l，200 Miles off the Somali coast，the farthest-off-shore attack to date，an officer said Tuesday.
Pirates have gone farther south and east in answer to increased patrols(巡邏)by warships off the Somali shore. The robbing of the three ships Sunday was about 600 miles outside the normal operation area for the international force，said a spokesman．
The spokesman said the attack so far out at sea was a clear sign that the international patrols against pirates were having a “marked effect on pirate activity in the area”．
“Once they start attacking that far out，you’re not even really talking about the Somali basin or areas of water that have any connection with Somalia,” said an officer，Roger Middleton．“Once you’re that far out，it's just the Indian Ocean，and it means you’re looking at trade going from the Gulf to Asia，from Asia to South Africa.”
"This is the farthest robbing to date．They are now operating near the Maldives and India,”said another officer．
The three ships--the MV Prantalay l l，12，and l 4—had 77 members on board in total．All of them are Thai, the spokesman said．Before the Sunday robbing，pirates held l l ships and 228 sailors．
Pirates have increased attacks over the past year in hopes。f catching more dollar payments. Because of increased patrols and defenses on board ships，the success rate(率)has gone down，though the number of successful attacks has stayed the same year over year.

The Americans believe that anybody can become President of the United States. In a recent Hollywood comedy(喜劇), that is exactly what happens.
Dave Kovic, played by Kevin Kline, is a kind-hearted man who runs a business that finds people jobs. He leads a typical(典型的) American way of life, except for one thing－h(huán)e looks exactly like the President, Bill Mitchell. In fact, the only thing that makes him different from the nation’s leader is that he is very nice!
The president has started using look-alikes during some public appearances. Dave is offered a chance to “serve his country” by becoming one. However, things go wrong. The President becomes very ill and Dave ends up acting as the President forever.
Director Ivan Reitman, who made the popular and successful comedies like Twins, Ghostbusters and Legal Eagles, could have gone for easy laughs by making fun of the American government. Instead, Dave is an attractive comedy about an ordinary man in extraordinary situations. Kevin Kline gives a double performance as Dave and the President, and Sigourney Weaver is at her best as his First Lady. The love story that develops between her role and Dave is a real classic(經(jīng)典).
The film is 100% American. However, if you’ve ever felt that anybody could do a better job running the country than the people in power, then you’ll enjoy Dave!
【小題1】What is the purpose of the text?

A．To tell the reader about the American government.
B．To discus the Americans’ ideas about the President.
C．To make a comparison between Dave and other films.
D．To introduce a new film to the reader.
【小題2】Who plays the role of the President in the film?

It is not clear who first fried potatoes in hot oil. However, it is widely agreed that French fries(炸薯條) were prepared as early as the 1700s in Europe. Most people believe that it was the Belgians (比利時人), instead of the French, who invented “French”fries. They think that French fries got this name from the cooking word “to french” --- to cut green beans into long thin strips (條).
When Thomas Jefferson traveled to France, he enjoyed the deep-fried potatoes very much and brought them home with him. Ever since he served French fries to his guests at a Whitehouse dinner in 1802, the dish has become very popular in America.
In the summer of 1853, an American Indian called George Crum worked as a cook at Moon Lake Lodge, a hotel in Saratoga Springs, New York. He was good at making French fries. One evening, a dinner guest found Crum’s French fries too thick and sent them back to the kitchen. Crum then cut and fried some thinner French fries, but these, too, were met with disapproval. This time, the cook got angry. So he decided to play a trick on the guest. He finally made fries that were too thin to eat with a fork. To his surprise, the guest loved the browned, paper-thin chips. The browned chips, then called Saratoga Chips, became one of the most popular dishes of the hotel. Soon they were being sold, first in local restaurants, then throughout New England.
【小題1】The French fries were believed to be introduced to America in _________________________.

A．the early 1700sB．the early1800s
C．the early 1900sD．the summer of 1853
【小題2】By saying “these, too, were met with disapproval” in Paragraph 3, the author means that __________________.
A．the guest still didn’t like the dish
B．the French fries were thin enough
C．the cook prepared the chips carefully
D．the cook had met the guest’s need
【小題3】How were Saratoga Chips invented?
A．They were introduced by Thomas Jefferson.
B．A guest told a cook how to make the chips.
C．A cook made them only to play a trick on a guest.
D．A cook invented them in order to attract more guests.
【小題4】Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A．America’s Favorite FoodB．Who Invented Saratoga Chips?

I travel a lot, and I find out different "styles" (風(fēng)格) of directions every time 1 ask "How can I get to the post office?"
Foreign tourists are often confused (困惑) in Japan because most streets there don't have names in Japan. People use landmarks (地標(biāo)) in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, "Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop."
In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are not usually many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat; in many places there are no towns or buildings within miles. Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distances. In Kansas or Iowa, for example, people will say, "Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile."
People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map; they measure distance in time, not miles. "How far away is the post office?" you ask. "Oh," they answer, "it's about five minutes from here." You say, "Yes, but how many miles away is it?" They don't know.
It's true that a person doesn't know the answer to your question sometimes. What happens in such a situation? A New Yorker might say, 'Sorry, I have no idea." But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers "I don't know." People in Yucatan believe that "I don't know" is impolite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A tourist can get very, very lost in Yucatan!
【小題1】When a tourist asks the Japanese the way to a certain place they usually _________

A．describe the place carefully
B．show him a map of the place
C．tell him the names of the streets
D．refer to recognizable buildings and places
【小題2】What is the place where people measure distance in time?
A．New York.B．Los Angeles.C．Kansas.D．Iowa.
【小題3】People in Yucatan may give a tourist a wrong answer ________
A．in order to save timeB．a(chǎn)s a test
C．so as to be politeD．for fun
【小題4】Which sentence is true according to the text?
A．There is no street names in Japan.
B．There is no landmarks in the countryside of American.
C．People in Yucatan always give wrong answers when asked the way.
D．People in Los Angeles measure distance in time, not miles when asked the way.
【小題5】What can we infer from the text?
A．It's important for travelers to understand cultural differences.
B．It's useful for travelers to know how to ask the way properly.
C．People have similar (相似的) understandings of politeness.
D．New Yorkers are generally friendly to visitors.
