8、    It was past 10∶00 pm．I was busy with my schoolwork though I was，  1   ．Just then，my little brother Michael ran out of his room，   2    a pen on his right hand and a piece of paper on the other

    “Betty, can you help me with my    3    for school? It's about the seven   4   of the world．”he said．

    My eyes were so   5    on the computer screen that my brother had to pull my blouse just to get my   6.

    “Look，not right now! I'm very busy”I said.“You're always busy! You're always like that!” he replied.

7、    Londoners are great readers．They buy large numbers of newspapers，magazines and books

-especially paperbacks(平裝書)，which are still cheap in spite of ever-increasing rises in the cost of printing. They still continue to buy“proper”books，too，printed on good paper．

    There are many streets in London containing shops which specialize in(以……為主) book-selling. Perhaps the best known of these is Charing Cross Road in the very heart of London．Here bookshops of all sorts and sizes are to be found, from the celebrated one which is said to be“the biggest bookshop in the world”to the tiny，dusty little places which seem to have been left over from Dickens' time. Some of these shops stock，or will make efforts to get，any kind of book．but many of them specialize in second-hand books，in art books，in foreign books，in books on economics，politics or any other subjects about which books may be written. One shop in this area specializes solely in books about ballet.

    Although it may be the most convenient place for Londoners to buy books．Charing Cross Road is not the cheapest．For really cheap second-hand books．collectors must go to some less well-known places，to Farringdon Road．for example，in the East Central district of London. Bookshops are the finest buildings in this area．Instead，the booksellers come along each morning and put lots of books on to small barrows(手推車)which line the streets. The collectors, some professionals and some amateurs(業(yè)余愛好者)，who have been waiting for them，run quickly towards the books．In places like this one can still，occasionally，pick up for a few pence an old book that may be worth many pounds．

1．According to the passage，we know that     

    A．Londoners like borrowing books from libraries

    B．Londoners like buying books，magazines and newspapers

    C．Londoners like reading books in libraries

    D．Londoners don't like buying“proper”books

2．Chafing Cross Road is well-known for          

    A．lending books  B．publishing books  C．printing books   D．selling books

3．The underlined word“solely”in the second paragraph means“      ”．

    A．wholly          B．partly                   C．only              D．seldom

4．What do we know from the last paragraph?

    A．Where expensive new books are sold．    B．Where cheap new books are sold

    C．Where cheap old books are sold          D ．Where expensive old books are sold

6、    Everyone has  got two personalities——the one that  is  shown to the world  and the  other that is secret and real．You don't show your secret personality when you're awake because you can control your behavior，but when you asleep，your sleeping position shows the real you． In a normal night，of course，people frequently change their position．The important position is the one that you go to sleep in.

    If you go to sleep on your back，you're a very open person．You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by fashion or new ideas．You don't like to upset people，so you never express your real feelings．You're quite shy and you aren't very confident．

    If you sleep on Your stomach，you are a rather secretive person. You worry a lot and you're always easily upset. You're very stubborn(固執(zhí)的)，but you aren't very ambitious(有野心的)．You usually live for today not for tomorrow．This means that you enjoy having a good time

    If you sleep curled(卷曲的)up，you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and you're often defensive．You're shy and you don't normally like meeting people. You're prefer to be on your own．You're easily hurt．

    If you sleep on your side，you have usually got a well-balanced(平衡的)personality. You know your strengths and weakness. You're usually careful. You have a confident personality You sometimes feel anxious，hut you don't often get depressed(情緒低落)．You always say what you think even if it annoys(打攪)people.

1．According to the writer，you naturally show your secret and real personality            

    A．only in a normal night

    B．only when you go to sleep

    C．only when you refuse to show yourself to the world

    D．only when you change sleeping position

2．We can infer from the passage that a person who sleeps curled up       

    A．would rather be alone than communicate with you

    B．is rarely ready to help you

    C．prefers staying at home to going out

    D．wouldn't like to get help from you

3．It appears that the writer tends to think highly of the person who sleeps on one side because

    A．he or she always shows sympathy(同情)for people

    B．he or she is confident，but not stubborn

    C．he or she has more strengths than weakness

    D．he or she often considers annoying people

5、Learning just as much outside the Classroom

    Every Thursday afternoon，my art history class meets not in our usual lecture hall hut in the Yale University Art Gallery(美術館)．

    We spend our one-hour class discussing two or three of the paintings，many of which are by artists that we have already studied in class.

    The professor begins by selecting one work of art .After giving us a quick background on

the artist，he'll open up for class discussion. Everyone is strongly encouraged to give opinions

to the work．Not every piece we study is necessarily famous or striking in appearance and

subject matter，yet we always manage to make some interesting observations.

  In America，professors always take every opportunity to push textbooks aside and expose

students to real world experiences．

  With some creativity，almost any subject can be applied to such beyond the classroom learning．

  My art history class trips to the gallery are but one example．

  Many other disciplines (學科)also offer opportunities to learn outside the classroom，for instance，business，psychology，art，journalism and biology．

  A friend of mine from Yale taking an advanced psychology course spends every Saturday

working with mentally disabled children．

  Her mornings are spent playing with the kids and studying their sometimes uncontrolled behavior. Then in the afternoon she writes a report on her observations．

  Students generally appreciate these unique learning opportunities．They're almost always fun and interesting，and professors like them because students learn so much in just a few short months．

    No one denies(否認) the value of classroom learning．But it can only take students so far．

    Slides and textbooks may do a good job of carrying facts and dates，but creativity and originality (創(chuàng)造性)of thought cannot be taught．They can only be got through first-hand experience．
