6、I once had a teacher whose husband died suddenly of heart attack. About a week after his death, she  1  some of her thoughts with a classroom of students. As the late afternoon sunlight shone  2  the classroom windows, and when the class was nearly over, she  3  a few things aside on the edge of her desk and sat down.

With a   4  look on her face, she paused and said, “  5  class in over, I’d like to share with all of you a deep  6  which I feel is very important. Each of us is put here on  7  to learn, share, love, appreciate and give of ourselves.   8  of us knows when this fantastic experience will   9  . It can be taken away at any moment. Perhaps this is the God’s   10  of telling us that we must make the  11  of every single day.”

Her eyes were beginning to  12  , but she went on, “So I would like you all to make me a   13  : From now on, on your way to school, or on your way home, find something beautiful to  14  . It doesn’t have to be something you see. It could be a   15  of freshly baked bread floating out of someone’s house, or it could be the sound of the soft  16  rustling （使發(fā)出沙沙聲）the leaves in the trees…Please look for these things, and  17  them, for at anytime they can all be taken away…”

The class was completely   18  .We all picked up our books and went out of the room silently. That   19  , I observed many more beautiful things on my way home from school than usual.

Remember: Life is not  20  by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

5、The biggest safety threat facing airlines today may not be a terrorist（恐布分子） with a gun,

but the man with the portable computer in business class. In the last 15 years, pilots have reported well over 100 incidents that could have been caused by electromagnetic（電磁） interference（干擾）. The source of this interference remains unconfirmed, but increasingly, experts are pointing the blame at portable electronic device such as portable computers, radio and cassette players and mobile telephones.

RTCA, an organization which advises the aviation（航空）industry, has recommended that all

airlines ban（禁止）such devices from being used during “critical” stages of flight, particularly take-off and landing. Some experts have gone further, calling for a total ban during all flights. Currently, rules on using these devices are left up to individual airlines. And although some airlines prohibit （禁止）passengers from using such equipment during take-off and landing, most are reluctant to enforce a total ban, given that many passengers want to work during flights.

The difficulty is prediction how electromagnetic fields might affect an aircraft’s computers.

Experts know that portable device emit radiation which affects those wavelengths which aircraft use for navigation and communication. But, because they have not been able to reproduce these effects in a laboratory, they have no way of knowing whether the interference might be dangerous or not.

The fact that aircraft may be vulnerable（易受損的）to interference raises the risk that terrorists may use radio systems in order to damage navigation equipment. As worrying, though, is the passenger who can’t hear the instructions to turn off his radio because the music is too loud .

1．The passage is mainly about        .

       A．effective safety measure of aircraft crashes

       B．a(chǎn) possible cause for air flight accidents

       C．the defects（缺點）of electronic devices

       D．a(chǎn) new regulation for all airlines

2．What is said about the over 100 aircraft incidents in the past 15 years?

       A．They may have taken place during take-off and landing.

       B．They may have been caused by the damage to the radio systems.

       C．They were suspected to have resulted from electromagnetic interference.

       D．They were proved to have been caused by the passengers’ portable computers.

3．Few airlines want to impose（強加）a total ban on their passengers using electronic devices because       .

      A．they have other effective safety measures to fall back on

       B．they don’t believe there is such a danger as radio interference

       C．the harmful effect of electromagnetic interference is yet to be proved

       D．most passengers refuse to take a plane which bans the use of radio and cassette players

4．Why is it difficult to predict the possible effects of electromagnetic fields on an airplane’s computers?

       A．Because experts lack adequate equipment to d such research.

       B．Because it is extremely dangerous to conduct such research on an airplane.

       C．Because it remains a mystery what wavelengths are liable to e interfered with.

       D．Because research scientists have not been able to produce the same effects in labs.

5．It can be inferred from the passage that the author       .

       A．hasn’t formed his own pinion on this problem

       B．has overestimated the danger of electromagnetic interference

       C．thinks it is unreasonable to exercise a total ban during flight

       D．is in fear of prohibiting passengers’ use of electronic devices completely

4、A Guide to Motorists

This leaflet explains in general terms the Driving Offence Points System.

What is the Driving Offence Points System?

After the introduction of this system, certain traffic offences will earn the driver points besides other punishment. If a driver makes any of these offences, the points will be recorded. When the driver gets. a certain number of points, he will be forbidden to drive for a certain amount of time.

What are the purposes of this system?

This is a system designed to make roads safer. It can improve standards (水平)of driving and reduce the accident rates.

Which traffic offences will result in Driving Offence Points?

Of course, not all traffic offences are covered by this system. Only those that have direct

Effects（影響） on road safety are included. There are altogether fourteen items.

What will happen if you have got up to 10 points?

If you have got 10 points or above, but still less than 15 points, you will receive a warning

letter from the Transport Department. This letter will tell you your record of Driving Offence Points and remind you of the result of getting more points. It is hoped that this warning will change your driving behavior for the better.

What will happen if you have got 15 points?

If you have got 15 points or more within two years, a court will take away your driving license.

       A．a(chǎn) driving habit                                     B．a(chǎn)n official of road safety

3．How many points will you earn if you drive through a red light?

       A．3 points.           B．5 points.            C．8 points.           D．10 points.

4．What will happen to you if you have got 13 points?

       A．You will be punished for the points. 

       B．Your driving license will be taken away.

       C．Your record will be sent to the Transport Department.
