The 2007 Special Olympics (特奧會)World Summer Games ended in Shanghai a week ago. This two-week sports meeting is full of love and caring(關(guān)愛) , because 40,000 volunteers(志愿者)(70%of them are college students )and more than 100,000 workers, family members in the city served for (為…服務(wù)) the people from more than 160 countries.

The Special Olympics gives hope to the people who have mental illness( 智障)  - 10 million in China and 170 million all over the world .

Many of these volunteers spent their time during the National Day holiday week traveling across the city, working 12-hours a day. China (with 1,200 members) gets more gold medals than any other country. But the most important for the Special Olympics is to join the games, a spirit of courage, sharing, skill and joy, not get metals. This spirit will encourage millions of people to be strong in their lives. This spirit will also teach people to show more respect and care to the people who have mental illness.

The Special Olympics have also provided people from Shanghai with a chance to show their new look.

The 2007 Special Olympics was a great success. It is at least as important as the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

Choose the best answer (根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容，選擇最恰當(dāng)?shù)拇鸢?
Traditionally, the President is the highest-pad public employee. A salary of $ 400,000, along with other benefits, is paid to the President annually. But President Obama’s income for 2008 was far more than that, according to the White House.
The White House recently published the tax returns (納稅申報單)of Obama and Vice –president Joe Biden. Tax returns are reports of tax that a person has to pay. They often include income information used to calculate the tax. In the US, people whose incomes are over a certain amount have to file tax returns(納稅申報)every year. The tax returns of government officials are open to the public. This transparency helps to prevent corruption(腐敗)。
From Obama’s tax returns , we can see that the President and first lady President’s two books Dreams From My Father and The Audacity of Hope(《無畏的夢想》). The two books, published in 1995 and 2006,are very popular and have been on the bestseller(暢銷書)list for a long time.
The Obama’s income is down from 2007,when they made ＄4.2 million. However, that is still far more than former US President George Bush earned, who reported a total of ＄719,274 for his final year. The Obamas’ income also greatly exceeded(超出)that of Biden, who reported a family income of ＄2269,256.That’s about a tenth of what the Obamas earned. As Vice-president, Biden earns a salary of ＄220,000.US families earn an average income of about ＄50,000.
The Obama’s tax returns also show that together, the President and his wife paid about ＄933,000 in taxes. They gave $172,050 —nearly 6.5 percent of their earnings —to different charity groups. In the US, if a person gives his money to churches and non-profit(非盈利)organizations, the law reduces his or her taxes. This is one reason why rich people in the US like to give money to charity.

【小題1】_______had the highest income in 2008.
A．ObamaB．BidenC．BushD．George
【小題2】How much did Obama and his wife earn in 2008?
A．$400,000B．$2,660,000C．$4,200,000D．$719,274
【小題3】In the US, which people have to file tax returns?
A．Everybody
B．Wealthy people
C．Government officials
D．People whose incomes are over a certain amount.
【小題4】The Obamas have given_______ percent of their earnings to charity.
A．10B．6.5C．9.7D．4.3
【小題5】Why should the tax returns of government officials be open to the public?.
A．Because it can help to prevent corruption
B．Because it can make government officials well-known to the public.
C．Because it can help government officials to get more money.
D．Because the government wants them to pay more taxes to the public.
【小題6】According to the law, if a rich man gives his money to charity,_______.
A．he will be praised by the people
B．he will pay fewer taxes
C．he will be free of taxes
D．he will get some extra money from the government.

閱讀短文

What are the limits(極限) of human body? The BBC’s Focus magazine has some answers.

How cold can you stand?

Normal body temperature is around 37℃. At 35℃ you’re unable to write your name. Even walking is very difficult. At 33℃ you may find it difficult to think, understand and form(形成) opinions properly. By the time you have cooled to 20℃, your heart would have stopped beating.

Limit: 0℃. Ice would form in your tissues(纖維組織), killing all the cells.

How spicy can you eat?

There is capsaicin(辣椒素) in many foods. The more capsaicin, the hotter the dishes are. If you’re healthy enough, you can survive(存活) eating a teaspoon of pure capsaicin. But you would find it impossible to eat anything else for a few hours.

Limit: 5g capsaicin.

How fast can you run?

The fastest man in the world is Asafa Powell. The runner finished the 100m in 9. 74 seconds in 2007. This gives an average(平均的) speed of 36. 96km/h.

Top runners are at their fastest around 80 metres, so a runner’s greatest speed may reach 43.06km/h.

Limit: 43.06km/h.

How loud is too loud?

The loudest sound you can hear is 168 dB(分貝). Sound louder than that may do harm to your ears. The loudest sound ever recorded was the eruption of Krakatoa(卡拉卡托火山爆發(fā)) in 1883. It was 180 dB, 160km away.

Limit: 168 dB
