About H1N1
2009 H1N1 viruses are not spread by food. You cannot get infected with H1N1 virus from eating pork or pork products. Eating properly handled and cooked pork products is safe.
Spread of H1N1 virus is thought to occur in the same way that seasonal flu does, Viruses are transmitted mainly through droplets（小滴）from coughing or sneezing of an infected person. Keeping a safe distance is recommended. Studies have also shown that flu virus can survive on object surfaces for 2 to 8 hours. Sometimes viruses can be spread when a person touches something like the surface of a desk that is polluted with droplets, and then touches his or her eyes, nose, or mouth before washing their hands.
The symptoms of H1N1 flu virus in people include fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose and body aches. Severe illnesses and death have occurred as a result of illness associated with this virus.
Protect-Yourself Tips
1．CDC recommends a yearly seasonal flu vaccine as the first and most important step in protecting against seasonal influenza.
2．If you get seasonal or novel H1N1 flu, anti-viral drugs can treat the flu.
3．For treatment, anti-viral drugs work best if started within the first 2 days of symptoms.
4．Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze.
5．Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze.
6．Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread this way.

One bitterly cold day, a snowstorm blew into our area. Needing firewood, I quickly set out with my best friend, Bruce, to look for a tree to cut down. I was glad to have Bruce along. Cutting down a tree in a snowstorm can be dangerous. So it was important to have a friend who could warn me of dangers.
When I chose a big 23-meter-tall tree and prepared to cut it down, my best friend suddenly warned me, “Don’t cut down that tree! It’s too close to the power line!” I wasn’t sure about it. So I decided to disregard his warning. I wanted to finish the job quickly and go home. So I began cutting down the tree. When the tree fell, there was no longer any doubt that my friend was right.
The tree caught the power line, bringing it to the ground. I considered cutting the tree off the line. After all, electricity can’t travel through wood, so I could safely remove the tree. As I reached out my finger to touch the tree, pain ran up my arm and through my head. I had been shocked!
After I returned home and told my mother what had happened, she quickly called the power company. Workers from the power company soon arrived on the scene. One of them asked if I had touched the tree, and when I told him I had, his face turned pale.
“You should have been killed,” he said.
So why am I still alive? It was my boots that saved my life.
Within two hours, the workers removed the tree. Soon the snowstorm calmed down—but not my mother.
Even though she was glad I wasn’t hurt, my mother was well serious with me. After all, I shouldn’t have brushed off my friend’s warning.
Through this experience, I learned that it’s important to listen to people who offer a different perspective(觀點(diǎn)). Taking the time to listen might actually save a lot of time and trouble. It certainly would have kept me from getting the “shock of my life”.
小題1:The underlined word “disregard ” in the second paragraph means “________”.
A．pay no attention toB．take notice ofC．considerD．follow
小題2:In spite of Bruce’s warning, the author still cut the tree because ________.
A．he was sure there would be nothing to happen
B．he wasn’t sure whether Bruce was right and was anxious to go home
C．he didn’t hear his friend’s warning at all because of the blowing wind
D．he was angry with his friend and didn’t want to listen to him
小題3:The author wrote the passage mainly to _______.
A．give an account of one of his terrible experiences
B．make us know it’s important to listen to people who offer a different perspective (觀點(diǎn)) through his experience
C．tell us not to cut trees down any more
D．remind us to be careful while working
小題4: Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A．But for his boots, the writer would have died.
B．The writer regretted having brushed off his friend’s warning.
C．The writer knew nothing about electricity.
D．When the tree was cut down, the writer realized his friend was right

With many college graduates struggling to find jobs, one of the most important for you to understand is that you're in school all your life. In fact, your real education is just beginning.
I'd like to pass on a few lessons that you didn't necessarily get in school. If you've been out of school for a few years or a lot of years, they could still teach you something.
· Develop relationships and keep networking, if I had to name a single characteristic shared by all the truly successful people I've met, I'd say it is the ability to create and nurture (培育) networks of contacts. Start strengthening your relationships now, so that they'll be in place when you really need them later. In the classroom it was mostly about individual performance. Success in real life requires relationships.
· Set goals. Ask any winner what the key to his or her success was, and you'll hear four consistent messages: vision, determination, persistence, and setting goals. If you don't set goals and determine where you're going, how will you know when you get there? Goals give you more than a reason to get up in the morning; they are an incentive (激勵(lì))to keep you going all day.
· Sense of humor. I'm a firm believer in using humor, though not necessarily jokes. A good sense of humor helps one understand the unconventional(非傳統(tǒng)的), tolerate the unpleasant, and overcome the unexpected. There are plenty of times to be serious, but I believe that keeping things light and comfortable encourages better teamwork.
· Volunteer. It might be hard to do a lot of volunteer work at first, but people who help others on a regular basis have a healthier outlook on life.
67. By saying "your real education is just beginning", the author wants to
A. explain why it's difficult for college graduates to find jobs
B. show the importance of social experience, besides schooling, in education
C. advise students to value their time at school, and to study hard
D. advise college graduates to face bravely the problems they may encounter (遭遇)
68. You should start to strengthen your relationships now because______.
A. it will take you time to develop them before you need them
B. you may have gotten used to being judged as an individual, and need to change
C. successful people have no time to develop relationships with you
D. you need to spend a lot of time learning the importance of good relationships
69. The author believes that being humorous means that you_______.
A. should prepare jokes to be used in various situations
B. can deal with difficult situations in an easy and comfortable way
C. can show your difference from others and be able to succeed
D. should smile all the time and avoid being serious on any occasion
70. The target readers of this passage are probably_______.
A. educational experts
B. people who want to change jobs
C. college graduates who have just left school
D. high school students who are still at school

Misunderstanding means East-West cultural clash. A failure to understand different customs lead to misunderstanding.
A common example of this clash occurs in China when Westerners complain that the Chinese are noisy and impolite, and feel uneasy with the questions: "Where are you from?" "Where do you work?" "How much do you earn?" "Are you married?" One Westerner has described this question and answer process as a "Laowai (foreigner) Litany." It's not surprising that foreigners in China who are not familiar with Chinese culture would be shocked by the questions and might feel that Chinese were meddling in their affairs.
Why do Chinese and Westerners have opposite behaviour in public and in society? Cultural differences partly explain this. Chinese culture is founded on collectivism. Instead of considering themselves individuals, Chinese are, above all, members of a community. They identify more with employees of the company, citizens of the country, husbands or wives, or fathers. They are used to thinking of groups. With this community spirit, it's not uncommon to approach others with questions. So, "Where are you from?" could mean "I'm interested in you and ready to be your friend;" "How much money do you earn?" could mean "If you don't earn enough to feed yourself, I'm happy to invite you to share my rice porridge;" and "Are you married?" could mean "If you're still single, I'll help you find a girlfriend."
For Chinese, asking a stranger questions is a normal way to show sympathy and to invite someone to have a friendly conversation. Chinese on a 10-hour train ride would be considered impolite or even arrogant if they refused to ask or answer questions. That is why a Chinese train ride is always happy and animated for Chinese, but can be noisy for a European.
Western culture is based on individualism. A Westerner sees himself or herself both as an individual and member of a community. Thus any insistence on communicating through questions might be considered annoying. In Europe, a person on a 10-hour train ride, will be considered polite if he or she wants to keep silent for the whole journey. This is also why train rides in Europe are agreeably quiet for Europeans, but possible painful for Chinese.
There seems to be fundamentally nothing wrong with being interested in strangers, depending on the circumstances, but either asking questions or not asking questions could prove indelicate. Whoever you are, be relaxed and polite no matter whether you get intrusive questions or a perfunctory hello.
66. Which is wrong about the above four questions in paragraph 2 ?
The Chinese use them to show their sympathy.
The Westerners will be shocked at these questions
They are often asked to open a conversation by Chinese people.
They imply the spirit of individualism.
67. According to the passage, all the following shows the culture differences between we Chinese and the Westerns except_________________.
the Chinese consider themselves to be members of a community while the Westerns don’t
western culture is founded on individualism
your questions will annoy a Westerner if he/she doesn’t want to communicate
train journey in Western countries are often quiet but noisy in China
68. On a ten-hour train ride___________________________.
the Chinese will probably talk with strangers happily
the Westerners are certain to talk with strangers
it is impolite for both the Chinese and the Westerners to keep silent
it is often painful for the Westerners to be in silence
69. The underlined word “animated”(in paragraph 4) possibly means_______________.
A. causing shameful feelings       B. filled with noise
C. full of life and spirit            D. important and agreeable
70. The main idea of the passage is probably_____________________.
A.we shouldn’t ask the Westerners the four questions
B.culture differences may lead to misunderstanding
C.it’s wrong to be interested in strangers
D.asking a stranger questions is a normal way to show sympathy

A quarrel at home may result in you falling ill. Don’t laugh, it’s true. Family matters including living habits and even the way we speak have a big effect on our health, doctors say.
Wang Xiaoyu, a Senior 2 girl from Xichang, Sichuan Province, fainted (暈倒) in class when she heard her classmates quarrel at the top of their voices. Quarrels between her parents also put the girl into a coma. It is because she is suffering from depression (抑郁癥), caused by bad relations at home, doctors explained.
“We don’t get sick or stay well by ourselves,” says Dr Robert Ferrer from the US. Ferrer shows that family forces may explain up to a quarter of health problems, in his recent research.
The genes you get from your family may cause illness. If one of your parents has a heart attack, your risk of being affected may double. But effects on health are not only written in our DNA.
Unrelated people who live under the same roof also get similar problems. Diet, lifestyle and environment affect our health, too. 
Ferrer’s research also found that if teenagers feel they are ignored or unimportant at home they are more likely to get sick.
We may never fully understand all the effects that families have on our health. But just as individual (個(gè)別的) problems can have effects on others, a small improvement can have big benefits, Ferrer said.
45. Which of the following can best explain why Wang Xiaoyu fainted in class?
A. Because her classmates often quarreled in class.
B. Because her parents used to quarrel.
C. Because of her depression caused by bad family relations.
D. Because her classmates shouted loudly at her.
46. According to Dr Ferrer, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. We get sick or stay well by ourselves.
B. Only the genes we get from our family have a big effect on our health.
C. Our health has nothing to do with diet, lifestyle and environment.
D. Teenagers who are ignored at home get sick more easily than those who are not.
47. The best title for this passage is ________.
A.  Family relations.                                  B. The reasons why we get sick.
C.  Happy family makes you healthy.            D. A research about teenagers’ health.

This booklet is designed to help you and your family plan for and survive a major earthquake. By taking action to be prepared, you can lessen the impact of an earthquake on your family. Set aside some emergency supplies, and teach your family what to do at home during and after a disaster. You could be without help for up to 72 hours, so learn to cope for at least that long.
