Don’t you just love ice skating every winter?I am sure,that since winter is approaching,your skates are set to come out,just waiting to be used.Impress your friends with your new trick on how to ice­skate backwards with the help of these tips.Skating backwards on ice is a bit difficult but once you master the basic,there’s nothing like it.Follow the steps given below and you will be able to skate backwards in no time.
Stand Straight
The first thing that you need to do is,stand straight.If you feel that you are falling backwards,then just put your chin(下巴) up and slightly bend your knees.Don’t worry;this happens to all.
Confidence Is What You Need
The most important step while learning how to skate backwards,is having enough confidence in yourself and in what you are doing.How can you achieve this?By practice.Just practice rolling backwards down a gentle slop every single day or just by pushing off from a wall or something of that sort.But before you do that,make sure that the place where you are practicing is free from any kind of debris(碎片) because otherwise,you could land up in the hospital due to some accident.While going backwards,just get used to the feeling of moving backwards.One of the important ice skating tips and techniques is that if you feel that you are losing your balance,then scissor(做剪式運動) your skates.Keep practicing this till you are confident about it.
Maintain Speed
Confident now?Great!Now the next step is to maintain your speed.While rolling in a straight line with one skate,with the other try sculling(劃槳),that is,keep pushing yourself backwards with an outwards stroke(滑動).Now bring the skate which you were using to scull,and then again,repeat the same process.Make sure that you put most of your weight on the skate which is moving straight and not the one with which you are sculling.Now,try the same thing using the other foot.Again keep doing this till you are confident enough.
Increase Your Speed Now
Once you are confident that you can scull with either foot,the next thing that you have to do is increase your speed.Try some of your own tricks now.Scull with either foot or with both at the same time.
Scull and Be Aware
While you keep one foot straight,keep sculling with the other.You can do that simultaneously with both feet.Concentrate on what you are doing but don’t get so involved,that you don’t see where you are going.If you are not watching your back,you might just bang against something or someone.
小題1:According to the text confidence comes from ______.
A.high speedB.strict coaches
C.constant exerciseD.good techniques
小題2:Which is the right order of ice­skating backwards?
a.Increasing your speed.
b.Being able to scull with one foot.
c.Being about to stand straight.
d.Trying some different tricks.
A.c→a→d→bB.c→b→d→a
C.a(chǎn)→c→b→dD.c→b→a→d
小題3:In order to keep balance when skating backwards you should ________.
A.skate in a scissor gesture
B.use both your feet to scull
C.skate forward first and then backward
D.put most of your weight on the skate with which you are sculling
小題4:The purpose of the text is ________.
A.to compare different ways of ice­skating backwards
B.to introduce the culture of ice­skating backwards
C.to explain advantages of ice­skating backwards
D.to offer some advice on ice­skating backwards

Eyeglasses correct many different types of sight problems, including nearsightedness, farsightedness or astigmatism (散光). Trying to understand those different numbers on an eyeglass prescription (驗光單) requires understanding the measurements optometrists (驗光師) use when fitting you for corrective lenses (鏡片).

Diopters (屈光度)
The numbers on your prescription are given in diopters, whose short form is "D". It is used to measure the focusing power, or amount of correction.
O.S. and O.D.
Optometrists use the Latin short form O.S. and O.D. to distinguish between your eyes. O.S. refers to your left eye, while O.D. refers to the right eye.
Generally, your prescription will show a number for O.S. and O.D. (given in diopters). The farther this number is on a number line from zero, the more correction your eyeglasses should provide. A plus sign means the eye is farsighted, while a minus sign means the eye is nearsighted.
Spherical Value
This plus or minus number for each eye is called the spherical value, or the degree of nearsightedness or farsightedness you have. Its short form is "S."
Cylinder
If you have an astigmatism, the optometrist will also measure its degree. The higher the number (given in diopters) marked as the cylinder of astigmatism, (its short form is "C"), the more astigmatism there is in that eye.
Axis
An astigmatism is also measured in terms of its axis, which is a number between 0 and 180. The axis of the astigmatism does not relate to the amount of cylinder, just the location of the irregularity of the astigmatism on that particular eye.
小題1:According to the first paragraph, various sight problems ______.
A.should be understood by the patients
B.can be avoided by wearing corrective lenses
C.should be tested by different optometrists
D.can be corrected by wearing eyeglasses
小題2:If you need a pair of corrective lenses, the optometrist will first value the numbers of ______.
A.DioptersB.Spherical ValueC.CylinderD.Axis
小題3:From the prescription above we can learn that Li Hua ______.
A.is farsightedB.is nearsighted
C.has no astigmatismD.is normal in sight
小題4:The text is probably taken from ______.
A.a(chǎn)n education reportB.a(chǎn) school bulletin
C.a(chǎn) local newspaperD.a(chǎn)n encyclopedia (百科全書)

“I’m a little worried about my future.”said Dustin Hoffman in The Graduate.He should be so lucky.All he had to worry about was whether to have an affair with Mrs. Robinson.In the sixties,that was the total sum of post-graduation anxiety.
Hoffman’s modem peers are not so fortunate.The Mrs. Robinsons aren’t sitting around at home any more.They are out in the workplace,doing the high-powered jobs the graduates want,but cannot get.For those fresh out of university,desperate for work but unable to get it,there is a big imbalance between supply and demand.And there is no narrowing of the gap in sight.
Parents feel as badly let down as the young people themselves.Middle-class families see their graduate offspring on the dole (救濟金) queue and wonder why they bothered paying school fees.Working-class families feel an even keener sense of disappointment.For many such families,getting a child into university was the fulfillment of a lifelong dream.It was proof that they were living in a dynamic,economically successful country.That dream does not seem so rosy now.Graduate unemployment is not,ultimately,a political problem.Job-creation for graduates is very low down in the government’s schedule.If David Cameron’s Conservatives (保守黨) had a brilliant idea for guaranteeing every graduate a well-paid job,they would have presented it by now.It is a social problem,though a more deep-seated social problem than people perhaps realize.
小題1:The author begins with the lines from The Graduate in order to __________ .
A.support the fact that more women are working now
B.show that few graduates started working right after graduation
C.demonstrate that there were much fewer graduates than now
D.emphasize the sharp contrast between now and then
小題2:Regarding job opportunities for young graduates,the author sounds __________ .
A.pessimisticB.hopefulC.unconcerned D.content
小題3:The main purpose of the passage is to __________ .
A.criticize the government
B.present a current severe situation
C.publicize a movie
D.display the success of the country
小題4:Towards the end of the passage,the author implies that __________ .
A.there will be job-creation programs for graduates
B.graduate unemployment is more of a political issue
C.graduate unemployment is not likely to be solved in a short time
D.the Conservatives have done nothing to solve the issue

A carefree summer vacation can be yours with these easy tips.
1.Fly into Alternate Airports
Most major destinations are served by more than one airport.Flying into a less popular one can result in cheaper tickets.Another added perk of quieter airports? Shorter check-in and security lines,and less waiting around.
2.Use Public Transportation for City Travel to Save Time and Money
When possible,take public transportation from the airport to your hotel.For example,the London-Heathrow express train takes just 15 minutes to get from airport to city and costs under 20 pounds.By contrast,“A taxi costs about 70 pounds and takes 40 minutes,"reports DiScala.
3.Eat Smart,Explore…and Save
Look for ways to take your order in pricey restaurants and you can avoid “Are we about to run out of money?”“Don’t order an appetizer.Don’t drink a lot of booze,” says DiScala.
Also,cover more ground by spreading out your snack places.“Have dessert at a café or ice cream stand, instead of at the dinner restaurant,” suggests DiScala.You’ll see more of the city and decisions about where to go for dinner will be less worrying.
4.Hit the Market
Much like reading the local newspaper,visiting a market gives context to a foreign country.
Even the smallest villages tend to have a weekly open-air market(often on Saturday mornings) , while in larger towns and cities,expect additional market days,as well as big supermarkets.
Markets also sell amazing,wallet-friendly souvenirs.Think about sea salt,local spices or sauces,and regional oils and vinegars. Eatable gifts are almost always appreciated,saving you the stress of finding the“perfect”gift for each person on your list.
小題1:The passage aims to tell the readers how to________.
A.take a plane without waiting for long
B.spend your holidays abroad economically
C.eat in a pricey restaurant at the smallest expense
D.save money to buy eatable gifts in a foreign market
小題2:What does the underlined word“perk” in Line 4 mean?
A.Special benefit.B.Strict standard.
C.Common scene.D.Extra trouble.
小題3:Which of the following will best help you save time and money?
A.Choosing a bigger airport.B.Visiting local markets.
C.Having dinner at the hotel.D.Taking an express train.
小題4:What can be inferred from the passage?
A.Having coffee at a cafe will cost more money.
B.Souvenirs bought at local markets are expensive.
C.You will run out of your money if you eat out.
D.Markets help you understand your tourist destination.

With the development of society, the choice of food and drinks for children is more diversified than ever before. However, every coin has two sides. Many facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse, according to the statistics. I feel there are a number of reasons for this.
Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded by shops selling unhealthy, fatty foods, such as fried chicken and ice cream, at low prices. This has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups who seldom cook a meal for themselves. If there were fewer of these restaurants then probably children would buy less take-away food.
There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight. I agree to this, because good eating habits begin early in life, long before children start to visit fast food shops. If children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food, or are always allowed to choose what they eat, they will go for sweet and salty foods every time, and this will carry on throughout their lives.
There is a third reason for this situation. Children these days take very little exercise. They do not walk to school. When they get home, they sit in front of the television or their computers. Not only is this an unhealthy pastime(消遣), it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food. What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports.
The above are the main reasons for this problem, and therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active, as well as guiding them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits.
小題1:What is suggested by the author to deal with “overweight”?
A.Blaming the shops selling unhealthy and fatty foods.
B.Asking young children to walk to school every day.
C.Living an active life and removing bad eating habits.
D.Not watching TV or playing computer games after school.
小題2:Which of the following shows the structure of the whole text?

小題3:The author writes the passage to ______________
A.show people a social problemB.provide facts for government
C.a(chǎn)dvise solutions to a problemD.compare opinions with people
小題4:The underlined word “diversified” in the first paragraph most probably means ________.
A.variousB.difficultC.expensiveD.a(chǎn)vailable

You are seeing a film in which two men are having a fight. They hit one another over the heads with chairs. And so it goes on until one of the men crashes through a window and falls thirty feet to the ground below. He is dead!
Of course he isn’t really dead. With any luck he isn’t even hurt. Why? Because the men who fall out of high windows or jump from fast moving trains, who crash cars or even catch fire, are professionals. They do this for a living. These men are called stuntmen. That is to say, they perform tricks.
They actually do most of the things you see on the screen. For example, they fall from a high building. However, they do not fall onto hard ground but onto empty cardboard boxes covered with a mattress. Again, when they hit one another with chairs, the chairs are made of soft wood and when they crash through windows, the glass is made of sugar!
But although their work depends on tricks of this sort, it also requires a high degree of skill and training. Often a stuntman’s success depends on careful timing. For example, when he is “ blown up” in a battle scene, he has to jump out of the way of the explosion just at the right moment.
Naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work, but they lead dangerous lives. They sometimes get seriously injured, and even killed. A Norwegian stuntman, for example, skied over the edge of a cliff a thousand feet high. His parachute (降落傘  ) failed to open and he was killed.
In spite of all the risks, this is no longer a profession for men only. Men no longer dress up as women to perform some dangerous actions. For nowadays there are stunt girls , too.
小題1:What can be inferred from the author’s example of the Norwegian stuntman?
A.Sometimes an accident can happen to a stuntman.
B.The percentage of serious accidents is high.
C.Parachutes must be of good quality.
D.The cliff was too high.
小題2:Stuntmen are those who __________________.
A.often dress up as actors.
B.like to lead dangerous lives.
C.often perform seemingly dangerous actions.
D.often fight each other for their lives.
小題3:When a stuntman falls from a high building, ______________
A.he needs little protection. B.he will be covered with a mattress.
C.his life is in danger.D.his safety is generally all right.
小題4:Which of the following is the main factor of a successful performance?
A.StrengthB.SpeedC.ExactnessD.Carefulness
