Downing Street sources have indicated that the British tennis player，Andy Murray，will be Recommended for a knighthood(爵士頭銜)for ending Britain’s 77-year wait for a Wimbledon men’s champion title．David Cameron，the British prime minister，who was in the royal box on Sunday at Wimbledon told reporters that he couldn’t think of anyone who deserves one more．More news on the knighthood is surely to come, but Murray’s achievement has a twist in that he is Scottish, not English．

Also in the royal box show on Sunday was Scotland’s first minister, Alex Salmond, waving the white-and-blue Scottish flag in the row directly behind Cameron after the victory．No Scotsman had won the singles at Wimbledon since Harold Mahony in 1896．Salmond was later asked on BBC Radio whether Murray’s achievement had been a victory for Britain． “Absolutely，and for tennis fans everywhere，"Salmond said．“Let everyone enjoy the victory．But you will allow us just the little private thing．Let us wave our national flag．”

The Scottish government，headed by Salmond，has announced that Scotland will hold a referendum(全民票)on independence from Britain in September 2014．Murray，who lives in the London area but was born and raised in the Scottish town of Dunblane，has not said publicly which way he would vote on the issue，and his Wimbledon Championship will only mix interest in his views．

But this was a national moment．Murray’s semifinal victory over Jerzy

Janowicz drew a peak television audience of 13.24 million viewers, the biggest of the year in Britain．The final then topped that with a peak audience of 17.3 million，the biggest audience for a Wimbledon final since at least 1990, according to the B BC．

Only one name will go on the trophy(獎杯)，but tennis at the highest level has now become a team event．Murray，who once had frequent fits of anger during matches，has transformed himself into a much more focused force with the help of an extensive support group．Murray’s rise to champion has clearly something to do with his decision to hire the former number one tennis champion Ivan Lendl as his coach just before the 2012 season．“He’s been very patient with me; I'm just happy I managed to do it for him．”

Onward Team Murray goes toward a defense of the United States Open title，beginning next month，and then eventually to defending at Wimbledon next year with the British drought(干旱) well and truly over．

1.The underlined word “twist” in the second paragraph refers to Murray’s_____.

A．a(chǎn)chievement B．knighthood

C．champion title D．nationality

2.What does the author mean by saying“the British drought well and truly over”?

A．Murray is concerned about the drought that struck Britain．

B．Drought in Britain will be over next year when Wimbledon is held．

C．British government’s rule over Scotland will come to an end soon．

D．The British people’s desire for a Wimbledon victory is fully satisfied．

3.What does the writer intend to tell us?

A．The whole Great Britain is enjoying Murray’s victory．

B．Scotland is going to gain independence from Britain

C．The secret lies behind Murray’s Wimbledon victory．

D．Murray was torn between the choices in the referendum．

People with many different relationships use small talk. The most common types of people to use small talk are those who do not know each other at all. It is also common for people who are only acquaintances (熟人), often called a “friend of a friend”, to use small talk.

There are certain “safe” topics that people usually make small talk about. The weather is probably the number one thing. Sometimes even friends and family members discuss the weather when they meet or start a conversation. Another topic that is generally “safe” is current events, such as sports news and entertainment news. If there is something that you and the other speaker have in common, that may also be acceptable to talk about. Negative comments about another person not involved in the conversation are not acceptable because you cannot be sure who his friends are when you do not know a person well.

People make small talk just about anywhere. Most often, small talk happens in places where people are waiting for something. For example, you might chat with another person who is waiting for the bus to arrive. Some social events (such as a party) require small talk among guests who do not know each other very well.

The most common time for small talk to happen is the first time you see or meet someone. However, the next time you see each other, you might just smile and say nothing. Do not interrupt two people in order to discuss something unimportant, such as the weather. If someone is reading a book or writing a letter in a waiting room, it is not proper to initiate a conversation either.

1. The third paragraph mainly tells us .

A. how people make small talk

B. people like making small talk

C. why people make small talk

D. where people make small talk

2.What can we learn about small talk according to the text?

A. Small talk only happens between strangers.

B. When people feel lonely, they will start small talk.

C. Unpleasant comments about another person aren’t a “safe” topic.

D. Small talk only happens when people want to make friends.

3.The underlined word “initiate” in the last paragraph probably means “ ”.

A. end B. start C. control D. Avoid

A glass a day keeps obesity at bay．Alcohol has always been thought to cause weight gain because of its high sugar content，but new research suggests a glass a day could form part of a diet．Looking at past studies they found that，while heavy drinkers do put on weight，those who drink in moderation can actually lose weight．

A spokesman for the research team at Navarro University in Spain says，“Light to moderate alcohol intake，especially of wine，may be more likely to protect against，rather than promote，weight gain．”The International Scientific Forum on Alcohol Research reviewed the findings and agreed with most of the conclusions，particularly that current data do not clearly indicate if moderate drinking increases weight．

Boston University’s Dr．Harvey Finkel found that the biologic mechanisms(生物學(xué)機(jī)制)relating alcohol to changes in body weight are not properly understood．His team pointed out the strong protective effects of moderate drinking on the risk of getting conditions like diabetes(糖尿病)，which relate to increasing obesity．Some studies suggest that even very obese people may be at lower risk of diabetes if they are moderate drinkers．

The group says alcohol provides calories that are quickly absorbed into the body and are not stored in fat，and that this process could explain the differences in its effects from those of other foods．They agree that future research should be directed towards assessing the roles of different types of alcoholic drinks，taking into consideration drinking patterns and including the past tendency of participants to gain weight．

For now there is little evidence that consuming small to moderate amounts of alcohol on a regular basis increases one’s risk of becoming obese．What’s more，a study three years ago suggested that resveratrol，a compound present in grapes and red wine，destroys fat cells．

1.Who is the passage intended for?

A．Those who produce wine．

B．Those who have a drinking habit．

C．Those who sell alcoho1．

D．Those who wish to quit drinking．

2.What does the phrase“in moderation”in the first paragraph refer to?

A．Excitedly． B．Carefully．

C．Properly． D．Frequently．

3.What can we learn from the passage?

A．Current data clearly show that moderate drinking increases weight．

B．Resveratrol is proved to increase the risk of becoming fat．

C．The specific roles of different types of alcoholic drinks are very clear．

D．The research found moderate drinking has a strong protective effect.

4.What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows?

A．How to do some easy experiments．

B．How to reduce the calories contained in wine．

C．How to make wine in a healthy way．

D．How to prove the finding mentioned above．
