  As a high school coach,I did all I could to help my boys win their games. I rooted as hard for victory as they did.

  A dramatic incident,however,following a game in which I acted as a referee,changed my view on victories and defeats. I was refereeing a league championship basketball game in New Rochelle,New York,between New Rochelle and Yonkers High.

  New Rochelle was coached by Dan O'Brien,Yonkers by Les Beck. The gym was crowded to capacity,and the volume of noise made it impossible to hear. The game was well played and closely contested. Yonkers was leading by one point as T glanced at the clock and discovered there were but 30 seconds left to play.

  Yonkers,in possession of the ball,passed off―shot―missed. New Rochelle recovered―pushed the ball up court―shot. The ball rolled tantalizingly (令人著急地) around the edge of the basket and off. The fans screamed.

  New Rochelle,the home team,recovered the ball,and tapped it in for what looked like victory. The noise was deafening (震耳欲聾的) .I glanced at the clock and saw that the game was over. I hadn't heard the final buzzer (蜂鳴器) because of the noise. I checked with the other official,but he could not help me.

  Still seeking help in this confusion,I approached the timekeeper,a young man of 17 or so. He said, "Mr. Co vino,the buzzer went off as the ball rolled off the rim,before the final tapin was made."

  I was in the unenviable position of having to tell Coach O'Brien the sad news.    "Dan,”I said, "time ran out before the final basket was tapped in. Yonkers won the game."

  His face clouded over. The young timekeeper came up. He said, "I'm sorry,Dad. The time ran out before the final basket."

  Suddenly,like the sun coming out from behind a cloud,Coach O'Brien's face lit up. He said, "That's okay,Joe. You did what you had to do. I'm proud of you."

  Turning to me,he said, "Al,I want you to meet my son,Joe."

  The two of them then walked off the court together,the coach's arm around his son's shoulder.

(   ) 5. If the buzzer went off after the final basket,the result of the game would be that

   A. Yonkers won the game by one point

   B. Yonkers won the game by two points

   C. Yonkers and New Rochelle tied the game

   D. New Rochelle won the game by one point

(   ) 6. Which of the following happened first?

   A. The buzz went off.

   B. Yonkers was leading by one point.

   C. The timekeeper spoke to me.

   D. I checked with the other official.

(   ) 7. What does "I was in the unenviable position" mean?

   A. To be a referee is a tiring thing.

   B. I had to do something awkward.

   C. It was difficult to make a judgment.

   D. I made a mistake during the game.

(   ) 8. What seemed to be more important to Dan O'Brien is         .

   A. a close game   B. winning a game

   C. his friend Al   D. his son

  Farmers may not be able to prevent natural disasters,but they can at least try their best to reduce losses.

  For example,they can plant crops that are more likely to survive extreme weather. In northcentral Vietnam,people with small farms do not plant rice between September and December. Seasonal rains might destroy the rice. So instead,they plant lotus seeds on raised beds. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization says the lotus seeds bring a good price in local markets.

  Farmers in the Philippines are showing new interest in crops like winged beans,string beans,arrowroot and cassava. The Asian Disaster Preparedness Center says traditional crops like these can survive the fierce storms that often strike the islands.

  The United Nations says some African farmers grow bambara groundnuts during long dry periods. The seeds of this droughtresistant plant can be boiled for eating or for making flour.

  In some parts of the world,farmers grow vetiver grass. Researchers in Thailand wrote about vetiver in 2007 in the journal Science Asia. They noted that the grass can absorb and control the spread of harmful waste waters,like those from pig farms.

  Agricultural expert and author William Rivera says vetiver resists difficult conditions. It reduces damage from heavy rains. And vetiver planted on earthen dams may strengthen them against breaks and flooding.

  William Rivera also speaks approvingly of alfalfa. Its deep roots can find and take up groundwater. Those roots also help hold the soil against winds. And alfalfa can be a valuable food source for animals.

The deep and extensive roots of sunflowers make them another good candidate for resisting extreme conditions. The tall plants have brightly colored heads that provide seeds and oil.

  North Dakota grows more hectares of sunflowers than any other American state. But North Dakota is better known as a top wheat producing state.

Hans Kandel works at the North Dakota State University Extension Service in Fargo. He says farmers in some parts of North Dakota plant wheat that is ready to harvest in only about one hundred days. That way it can grow before the hot,dry months of July through September.

(   ) 1. The underlined part "bring a good price in local markets" in the 2nd paragraph implies that lotus seeds         .

   A. can bring the local farmers some profit

   B. will satisfy the needs of the local people

   C. are what the local farmers eat every day

   D. don't sell very well because of their high prices

(   ) 2. Vetiver grass is planted because it can         .

   A. be a valuable food source for animals

   B. survive the fierce storms in summer

   C. provide seeds and oil

   D. be useful in many aspects

(   ) 3. From the last paragraph we can see that the farmers in North Dakota         .

   A. are not hardworking so they are suffering from poverty

   B. are good at taking advantage of the weather conditions

   C. don't have enough knowledge of weather and farming

   D. plant more sunflowers than wheat

(   ) 4. From this passage we may safely conclude that         .

   A. weather conditions are always decisive factors in agriculture

   B. some crops can help farmers to fight against disasters

   C. the species of the world are changing quickly

   D. agriculture is developing fast in the world

   Women are now as likely to use the Internet as men―about twothirds of both genders yet a new study shows that gaps remain in what each sex does online.

  American men who go online are more likely than women to check the weather,the news,sports,political and financial information,the Pew Internet and American Life Project reported Wednesday. They are also more likely to use the Internet to download music and software and to take a class.

  Online women,meanwhile,are bigger users of email,and they are also more likely to go online for religious information and support for health or personal problems.

  "For men,it's just, ' Give me the facts, ， " said Deborah Fallows,who wrote the report based on six years of Pew surveys. "For women,it's ' Let's talk about this. Are you worried about this problem?' It's keeping in touch and connecting with people in a richer way."  

  The surveys find that for many activities,such as getting travel information or looking up a phone number,men and women are equally likely to use the Internet.

  A survey from March,for instance,found that 54 percent of online men use the Internet for jobrelated research,compared with 48 percent of female Internet users. A September survey found 94 percent of online women sending email,compared with 88 percent of men.

  Women also were more likely to use email to write friends and relatives about news,worries,advice and planning. They were also more likely to credit email for improving relationships with friends,family and colleagues. Men,on the other hand,were more likely to participate in interest groups,such as fan clubs.

(   ) 1. What is the passage mainly about?

   A. To tell us why men and women use the Web slightly differently.

   B. To show us some facts how men and women use the Web.

   C. To show how women use the Web.

   D. To show the trends of the Web.

(   ) 2. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

   A. More women like to download music and send email from the Web.

   B. More men like to find jobs,talk and check information online.

   C. In general,the differences between men and women to use the Internet are big.

   D. The differences of using the Web between men and women don't exist at every aspect.

(   ) 3. From the last paragraph,we can infer that         .

   A. women like to send email to improve relationships

   B. men seldom use the Web to write letters

   C. the purpose for men and women to send email is different

   D. writing email is becoming more and more popular in current society

  Although women lead healthier,longer lives,the cruel perception that they reach their sellby date and become "old" sooner than men is widespread in the workplace,research shows.

  A survey of more than 2 ,600 managers and personnel professionals showed that age discrimination is not only popular in the workplace,but is shot through with inconsistencies (不協(xié)調(diào)) .

  Six in ten managers reported being a victim of age discrimination―usually because they were turned down for a job for being too old or too young. Yet more than a fifth admitted that they used age as a standard for the new.

  Although the survey found widespread agreement that older workers were better than younger colleagues when it came to reliability,commitment,loyalty and customer service,these qualities were not necessarily considered to be deserving of advancement.

  More than half of respondents believed that workers between 30 and 39 had the best promotion chances,with only 2 percent citing 50-year-olds or above.

Dianah Worman of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development said that there was unpublished evidence that people were considered old at different ages in different sectors.

  "We heard of one man working in IT who said he was considered too old by the age of 28, ”she said.

  There was no evidence to suggest that older workers were less valuable to companies than younger workers,in fact the opposite was often true because older workers often brought experience,she added.

  The findings also suggested that the Government's ideas on age in the workforce may also be out of step with reality.

(   ) 1. According to the passage,in most people's minds,women         .

   A. can live longer than men

   B. have the same chance in promotion as men

   C. become old sooner than men

    D. can't work well as long as men do

(   ) 2. What is the purpose of the writer to write the third paragraph?

   A. To prove there is age discrimination.

   B. To tell us some people's experiences.

   C. To tell us age is very important when people look for jobs.

   D. To tell us not to care about your age wherever you are.

(   ) 3. Compared with younger workers,the older workers         .

   A. are better in reliability,quicker in customer service

   B. have fewer chances to get higher positions in the workplace

   C. are less valuable to companies

   D. are too old to work well

(   ) 4. The underlined sentence quoted by the writer means that         .

   A. it is easy for people working in IT to get old

   B. IT business develops too fast

   C. people working in IT are most young people

   D. the man is tired of his job in IT
