Texting in the street—your funeral
Millions of people are putting their lives at risk by texting their friends as they walk along busy streets, reported the Daily Mail.
One in ten  41  users has already been  42  because they are so lost in their phones that they fail to  43  lamp-posts or cars, according to Joanna Lumdsen of Aston University.
To test the danger of texting while  44  , Lumdsen did an experiment in which volunteers followed a  45  path while trying to  46  in a message on the phone.
Around them, screens  47  up instructions to avoid stepping on  48  colors on the floor.
She found that people missed one in five  49  because they were so busy with their phones.
“In  50  life this means that one in five lamp-posts or moving cars is  51
to go unnoticed by people  52  and walking,” she said.
Her research is looking for ways cell phone makers could improve the  53
of phones to make texting on the move  54  . That could  55  easier-to-use voice operated phones, or phones that respond to gestures.
“The safest thing is  56  people not to text while they walk along,” she said. “ 57  a lot of people in business are  58  to carry a mobile phone and be in  59  24 hours a day, seven days a week. They are under pressure to reply to calls  60  , and to respond to text messages and emails straight away.

      Britain and Ireland
        The British Isles is made up of two large islands: One is called Ireland and the other __16  . Britain, or Great Britain, is the larger of these two islands, and it is17  into three parts: Scotland, Wales and England.
        The United Kingdom is that 18  of the British Isles ruled over by the Queen. It is made up of Scotland, Wales and England, that is, the 19  of Britain, and also about one sixth of Ireland, the Northern part. The  20  of Ireland is self-governing. The 21  name of the United Kingdom is  22  “The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland”.
       23 is larger and richer than Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, and has the largest  24   of the United Kingdom, so people often use the 25 “England” and “English” when they  26  “Britain” and “British”. This sometimes makes the Scots and the Welsh a little 27 . The Scots in particular are very  28 of their separate nationality. The Welsh too do not regard   29  as English, and have a culture and even a   30 of their own.
        Ireland became part of the United Kingdom in 1801, but for forty years the “Irish  31  ” was the greatest headache of the United Kingdom.  32 , Ireland is divided into two: Northern Ireland still  33 to the United Kingdom, and in 1922 the rest of Ireland   34  to found an Irish Free State, later called Eire and now the Republic of Ireland.
        The Republic of Ireland does not regard itself as part of Britain, and is not now even a supporter of the Commonwealth of Nations (英聯(lián)邦). Unlike the major Commonwealth countries it did not lift a finger to   35 British in the Second World War and now wants the whole of Ireland to be a republic.

      In the early stages of skill or character development, imitation(模仿) is helpful. When I first learned to cook, I used recipes (菜譜) and turned out some tasty dishes. But soon I grew bored. Why follow someone else’s way of cooking when I could create my own? Imitating role models is like using training wheels on a child’s bicycle; they help you get going, but once you find your own balance, you fly faster and farther without relying on them.
      In daily life, imitation can hurt us if we subconsciously (下意識(shí)地) hold poor role models. If, as a child, you observed people whose lives were bad, you may have accepted their fear and pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did. If you do not make strong choices for yourself, you will get the results of the weak choices of others.
      In the field of entertainment, those stars look great on screen. But when they step off screen, their personal lives may be disastrous. If you are going to follow someone, focus on their talent, not their bad character or unacceptable behaviors.
      Think of the movies, books, teachers, and friends that have affected you most deeply. The world is changed not by those who do what has been done before them, but by those who do what has been done inside them. Creative people have an endless resource of ideas. The problem a creator faces is not running out of material; it is what to do with the material knocking at the door of imagination.
      小題1:
      .Imitation proves useful when you        .
      A.know you are uniqueB.lose the balance of life
      C.begin to learn something newD.get tired of routine practice
      小題2:
      To avoid the bad result of imitation, we should________.
      A.forget daily fear and painB.choose the right example
      C.a(chǎn)sk others for decisionsD.stay away from stars
      小題3:
      According to the author, the world moves on because of those who are          .
      A.eager to influence others with their knowledge
      B.ready to turn their original ideas into reality
      C.eager to discover what their ancestors did
      D.willing to accept others’ ideas
      小題4:
      The trouble a creator faces is          .
      A.the lack of strong motivationB.the absence of practical ideas
      C.how to search for more materialsD.how to use imagination creatively
      小題5:
      The author’s purpose in writing this passage is to __________.
      A.emphasize the importance of creativity.
      B.criticize the characters of role models.
      C.compare imitation with creation.
      D.explain the meaning of success.

      T-shirts out; uniforms in
      School uniforms(制服) are becoming more and more popular across the U.S.A. That’s no surprise, because they offer many benefits. They immediately end the powerful social sorting and labeling (標(biāo)記) that come from clothing. If all students are dressed in the same way, they will not pay too much attention to their clothing, and some of them will not be laughed at for wearing the “wrong” clothes.
      Some people are against the strict rule of school uniforms, but they do not realize that students already accept a kind of rule — wanting to look just like their friends. The difference is that the clothing students choose for themselves creates social barriers(障礙); school uniforms tear those barriers down.
      As in other places, uniforms remind the wearers of their purposes and duties. For example, when a man or woman puts on a police uniform, he or she becomes, for a time, the symbol (象征) of law and order. The uniform means to the wearer his or her special duties and sends the same message to everyone the wearer meets. People with different jobs wear uniforms of one kind or another. For students, the school uniform reminds them that their task for the six or seven hours they are in school is to get an education.
      Some parents are unhappy about uniforms, saying that school uniforms will affect their children’s “creativity.” First, as noted above, the clothes students choose to wear do not necessarily express their individuality (個(gè)性). They just copy their classmates. Second, students have the rest of the day to be as creative as they like. While they’re in school, their job is to master reading, writing, and maths; this should take up all the creativity they have. Mastery of those skills will be good for the students to build up their creativity in every way.
      小題1:In Paragraph 1, the word “benefits” probably means       .
      A.tasksB.messagesC.differencesD.a(chǎn)dvantages
      小題2: From the passage we learn that uniforms in general       .
      A.prevent the wearers from being laughed at
      B.help the wearers keep their duties in mind
      C.a(chǎn)re seen as a symbol of power
      D.help to create social barriers
      小題3: Some people are against school uniforms because       .
      A.they fail to realize that students have accepted the uniforms
      B.they believe that uniforms will make students less creative
      C.they don’t agree that uniforms can remove social barriers
      D.they think that school uniforms are too popular
      小題4:The author would probably agree that       .
      A.it makes no difference whether to wear school uniforms or not
      B.students’ individuality may not come from school education
      C.students’ creativity is related to the clothes they choose
      D.school uniforms help to create equality among students
      小題5: School uniforms are becoming more and more popular and important because _____
      A.they can stop the powerful social sorting and labeling.
      B.if all students are dressed in the same way, they will not pay too much attention to their clothing.
      C.uniforms can remind the wearers of their purposes and duties
      D.school uniforms will affect their children’s creativity.

      How did it make you feel when you learned that KFC’S Beijing restaurants pulled three more items from their menus last week? There were fears that the items may have contained the cancer-causing coloring Sudan I.Do you have any desire to take the food provider to court because it feeds you something dangerous?
      After all,the law supposedly gives people the right to fight for their rights.But some experts have said it might not be so wise to take the company directly to court.
      Qiu Baochang,a lawyer in Beijing,suggested that consumers not take the company directly to court.“In addition to the high costs,consumers’complaints are unlikely to win unless they can prove they have had the banned dye at KFC,”—Qiu explained.
      One problem for those wanting to take action against the fast food chain is that few customers ask for or keep receipts(收據(jù)).And,this must be the first step.
      If they can prove that their health has been damaged by KFC,they can cue(控告)the company.But that would be almost impossible to do so because the Sudan I damage is a long-term effect and is not immediately apparent.
      A KFC spokesperson said on Monday that the company was confdent of being able to handle customers’complaints,“We will obey legal procedure if We raceive any complaints.”
      小題1:Why did KFC’s Beijing restaurants pull three more items from their menus?
      A.Because the company was afraid to handle customers’complaints.
      B.Because coloring Sudan I may have been contained in those items.
      C.Because the KFC’s restaurants were accused ofselling poisonous food to the customers.
      D.Because these items were no longer popular with the customers.
      小題2:The reason why experts suggested not taking the company directly to court is that      .
      A.the costs will be high
      B.consumers can’t prove food contained Sudan I
      C.consumers can’t prove the food at KFC damaged their health
      D.a(chǎn)ll of the above
      小題3:This passage most probably appears in      .
      A.a(chǎn) notice.
      B.a(chǎn) book on cooking.
      C.a(chǎn) story book.
      D.a(chǎn) newspaper.
      小題4:What is the general ieda of the passage?
      A.KFC’s Beijing restaurants pulled three items from their menus last week.
      B.How the consumers dealt with the KFC problem.
      C.How KFC handled the customers’s complaints.
      D.Consumers never forget to ask for or keep receipts.

      In the past industries had more freedom than they have now, and they did not need to be as careful as they must today. They did not need to worry a lot about the safety of the new products that they developed. They did not have to pay much attention to the health and safety of the people who worked for them. Often new products were dangerous for the people who used them; often conditions in the work place had very bad effects on the health of the workers.
      Of course sometimes there were real disasters which attracted the attention of governments and which showed need for changes. Also scientists who were doing research into the health of workers sometimes produced information which governments could not ignore. At such times, there were inquiries into the causes of the disaster or the problems. New safety rules were often introduced as a result of these inquiries; however,the new rules came too late to protect the people who had died or become seriously ill.
      Today many governments have special departments which protect customers and workers. In the U.S., for example, there is a department which tests new airplanes and gives warnings about possible problems. It also makes the rules that aircraft producers must follow. Another department controls the foods and drugs that companies sell. A third department looks at the places where people work, and then reports any companies that are breaking laws which protect the health and safety of workers.

      Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting(永恒的、永久的) happiness. Aristotle (亞里士多德), a Greek thinker, said, “Happiness depends upon ourselves.” In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier.
      The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future —for example, getting into college or getting a good job —that we fail to enjoy the present. You should enjoy life’s simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives.
      Another secret to living a happy life is to be active, and have hobbies where you forget your problems and time. Many people experience this dancing, or playing a sport, such as swimming. You can forget about your problems, and only think about the activity. Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes.
