" A funny thing happened on the way to the communication revolution: we stopped talking to each other.
I was walking in the park with a friend recently, and his mobile phone rang, interrupting our conversation. There we were, walking and talking on a beautiful sunny day and – poof! – I was cut off as if I had become absent from the conversation.
The park was filled with people talking on their cell phones. They were passing people without looking at them, saying hello, noticing their babies or stopping to pat their dogs. It seems that the limitless electronic voice is preferred to human contact.
The telephone used to connect you to the absent. Now it makes people feel absent. Recently I was in a car with three friends. The driver hushed the rest of us because he could not hear the person on the other end of his cell phone. There we were, four friends driving down the highway, unable to talk to each other because of the small thing designed to make communication easier.
Why is it that the more connected we get, the more disconnected I feel? Every advance in communications technology is a setback (退步) to the closeness of human interaction. With e-mail and instant message over the Internet, we can now communicate without seeing or talking to one another. With voice mail, you can make entire conversations without ever reaching anyone. If my mom has a question, I just leave the answer on her machine.
As almost every contact between human beings gets automatic, the emotional distance index goes up. Pumping gas at the station? Why say good-morning to the assistant when you can swipe you credit card at the pump and save yourself the bother of human contact? Making a deposit at the bank? Why talk to the clerk who lives in the neighborhood when you can put your card into the ATM?
More and more, I find myself hiding behind e-mail to do a job meant for conversation or being relieved that voice mail picked up because I didn’t really have time to talk. The technology devoted to helping me keep in touch is making me lonelier.
I own a mobile phone, an ATM card, a voice-mail telephone, and an e-mail account. Giving them up isn’t a choice. They are great for what they are intended to do. It’s their unintended results that make me upset. What good is all this gee-whiz technology if there is no one in the room to hear you crying out “Gee whiz”?
1．The author’s experience of walking in a park with a friend recently made him feel _____________.
A．unhappy
B．funny
C．wonderful
2．According to the author, human contact in a park means ____________.
A．looking at each other and saying hello when passing
B．noticing their babies and stopping to pat their dogs
C．both A and B
3．According to the author, the more connected we get in communications technology, the ___________ we are.
A．more automatic
B．easier
C．more disconnected
4．What are the examples the author gives to explain his idea that every advance in communications technology is a setback to the closeness of human interaction?
A．With e-mail and instant message over the Internet, we can now communicate without seeing or talking to one another.
B．With voice mail, you can make entire conversations without ever reaching anyone.
C．Both A and B.
5．What is the unintended result of communication technology, according to the author?
A．It makes communication easier and conversation possible everywhere.
B．It actually creates a distance between people instead of bringing them together.
C．It makes every contact between human beings automatic and makes people feel connected.

" Although international travel is usually an exciting and pleasant experience, travellers should take steps to ensure that their health does not suffer either from their time in the air or from their time abroad.
BEFORE YOU GO
Check with your doctor or local travel clinic which injections are necessary for the areas you are travelling to. Allow sufficient time to have these injections before you leave because they may take time to become effective.
Be sure that the information on health is up-to-date. Check on the Internet if you are not sure.
Don’t go to bed late the day before you fly.
DURING THE FLIGHT
1. JET LAG
Your body has a natural daily sleep pattern. It takes time to adjust to a new time zone. There are many different effects of jet lag: you may not be able to sleep, you may not want to eat or you may feel sick and tired. You may not be able to concentrate for some days after you arrive.
There are several things you can do to lessen the effects of jet lag:
－ Do your best to relax during the flight;
－ Sleep as much as you can on the flight. Use a mild sleeping pill if necessary;
－ Drink as much water as you can;
－ Don’t drink alcohol and caffeine;
－ Take mild sleeping pills for the first few days in the new time zone if you need them.
2. DEEP VEIN THROMBOSIS (DVT)
If you sit still for long periods of time, you will probably get swollen ankles and muscle cramps – these are painful but not dangerous. However, the much more serious DVT may also occur occasionally after long periods of inactivity — __________(1). This is not only true for air travel — it is the same for travellers by bus or train who spend many hours sitting in cramped conditions.
To minimise the risk of DVT during the flight:
- Stretch your legs and arms often while sitting in your seat;
-_______________(2).
Most importantly, if you have any worries about your health during the flight, call a flight attendant and tell them immediately how you feel. They will be able to help you.
1．What does the word “sufficient” mean in line 2 in Para. 2?
A．enough
B．some
C．efficient
2．“Jet Lag” means __________.
A．a natural daily sleep pattern
B．the tired feeling you have when flying across the places where time is different
C．a kind of acute disease (急性病)
D．the difficulty in adjusting to a new time zone
3．Which of the following might be best filled in blank (1)?
A．especially during the travel.
B．it’s less dangerous although it can be painful.
C．it’s dangerous and it can be painful.
4．Which of the following might be the best answer to be put in blank (2)?
A．To take some sleeping pills so that you can fall asleep.
B．To get up and walk around the cabin when you can.
C．To keep your feet still for an hour.
5．What’s the purpose of this piece of writing?

" We have two cats at home. One is named Milo and the other Mamma. Milo is a boy cat. Boy cats are called ‘Toms’. We think that Mamma is Milo’s mother. That is why we gave her the name Mamma.

"BEIJING — OLYMPIC CITY 2008
WHO WILL STAGE THE GAMES?
Preparing for the Olympics Games is a huge undertaking. Just like the athletes, the host city spends years getting ready for the event. Before deciding which city will host the Olympic Games, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has to examine bids from all over the world. Bidding for the games begins about ten years in advance. Without preparing a very strong bid1, a city will not win the competition to host the games. Beijing was chosen for the 2008 games from five bidders — Osaka, Paris, Toronto and Istanbul.2
WHY DOES IT TAKE SO LONG TO PREPARE?
Building the infrastructure costs huge amounts of money. Holding the World Cup in 2002 in Japan and South Korea, for example, meant that ten new stadiums had to be built, as well as many hotels and an improved transport system. In Beijing, after winning the bid the government began major construction projects — the extension of the underground, the improvement of the airport and the building of new motorways3. Each host city must also build an Olympic village for the athletes. By planting trees and creating parks, the city becomes more attractive for tourists.
WHY DO COUNTRIES WANT TO HOST THE OLYMPIC GAMES?
Hosting the games has a major effect on the economy and brings international prestige to the country. Thousands and thousands of visitors come to the games and the host cities are permanently improved.
1．Bidding for the Olympic Games usually starts ____________ before the games are really held.
A．ten years
B．eight years
C．two years
2．Beijing was one of the _______ bidders for the 2008games.
A．four
B．five
C．three
3．The World Cup 2002 was held in _____________.
A．Japan
B．South Korea
C．A and B
4．What construction projects did Beijing start after winning the bid?
A．The extension of the underground.
B．The improvement of the airport.
C．A and B.
5．Why do countries want to host the Olympic Games?
A．Because it has a major effect on the economy.
B．Because it brings international prestige to the country.
C．A and B.

"PAT THE DOG
Did you know there are some very special dogs doing good work in our hospital wards? These are PAT (Pets As Therapy) dogs. Doctors and nurses are recognising the benefits of pets more and more — particularly for children, people with mental illnesses and elderly people who are separated from their own pets or have had to give up their pets.
Stroking and playing with a pet is a calming experience and something to look forward to. One hospital reported that a man with a mental illness, who hadn't spoken for years, first stroked and played with a visiting dog and then started talking to it.
Today, around 4,500 dogs and 50 cats and their volunteer owners are at work in the UK bringing comfort and pleasure to over 100,000 people in hospital.
There are many other ‘working dogs’. There are guard dogs, police dogs, hunting dogs and dogs for the blind. Disabled people benefit greatly. Take the case of Alan Smythe, who has to visit hospital every month. Some things are difficult for him because he is in a wheelchair. But his life has altered dramatically since he got a dog, Tess, from the charity 'Dogs for the Disabled'. ‘She helps me to get dressed, and she brings me my socks and shoes. She fetches the newspaper from the shop, and she passes me the phone when it rings. I feel so much better too. It's like having a really good friend. She comes with me to hospital. Once, she saved my life. I am a diabetic and one day my blood sugar level dropped, and when I was going into a coma she went next door and she alerted my neighbour. He gave me an insulin injection.
1．Which of the following statement is TRUE according to the passage?
A．All the dogs are allowed into the hospitals to visit the patients.
B．Only some special dogs can help the patients feel better.
C．Doctors and nurses doubt if pets can bring comfort to the patients.
2．Pets are particularly beneficial to the following EXCEPT _________.
A．children
B．people with mental illness
C．the elderly people who live alone
3．The first sentence of Para. 2 suggests _________.
A．pets can make people become quiet and attentive
B．people feel uncomfortable when they touch and play with a pet
C．people feel relaxed and hopeful when they touch and play with a pet
4．The dog helps Alan do the following EXCEPT _________.
A．She helps her get dressed
B．She picks up the phone for her
C．She gets the newspaper for her
5．The sentence “when I was going to a comma …” means that __________.
A．when I got hungry…
B．when I fell down on the floor…
C．when I became unconscious…
