It was a halfmile walk from our small house to the beach road,where the taxi would be waiting for us. But that morning Jane was much 1 She couldn't make that walk. And I couldn't 2 her. The path to the beach was steep and narrow and 3 at the water's edge. ,
I was a stranger far from home. I didn't know where to 4 for help. But I needed it badly. I hurried down to the beach and I found help. Four fishermen were about to go out for their morning 5 . I told them about my sick little sister. Could they help me get her 6 the path?
I hardly got the words out of my mouth before they 7 their boat back onto the sand. They climbed the hill with me. One looked at Jane and they 8 their heads. They talked softly to one another.
9 sick to sit in a chair," one said.
"Better carry her 10 in bed," said another.
An iron cot (簡易床) 11 along the cliff!I was frightened. How could they do it? 12 the men told me not to worry. "Truly easy,truly 13 ," they said.
They tied a rope to each leg of the cot. Each of them threw a rope 14 his shoulder and held the end in one hand. I understood what they meant to do. 15 they carried the cot down the path,they would use the ropes to keep the cot 16 . But what if one of the men slipped and lost his balance? What would happen to him―to the others―to 17 ?The men just smiled at my alarm. "That 18 will make us even more careful," they said.
The men went down the path. Every 19 was a careful one. Always the cot was level,with never a bump. When they reached the beach road,they quietly lifted Jane into the taxi. 20 ,they stretched her out on the back seat.
We made the morning train for Tokyo. And there an ambulance was waiting to take Jane to the hospital. The doctor told me that I had got my little girl there just in time. Jane would be all right soon.

Once a month the nun marched us to the church,where we would stand in line to say our confession (懺'海) .Bless me,Father,for I have sinned (豸巳罪) ，my last confession was a month ago. These are my sins: "I stole a magazine and I called my younger brother a fucking head."
I thought it a great bargain that a few "Hail Marys" forgave me of my sins. Sometimes the kid ahead of me in line stayed a long time inside the confessional,and I wondered what horrible crimes he had committed. Now we can know what sins others commit,there are Web sites suddenly appear all over the Internet that allow penitents (悔罪者) to publicly confess their sins.
A woman kept her secret for nearly two decades. Finally ready to confess,she turned not to a minister,but to her computer： " I am sorry,God,for not keeping that baby”，her confession reads. "I had kept that secret for over 18 years. I feel so ashamed. Please forgive me!"
The confession appears at ivescrewedup. com,a website launched by the Flamingo Road Church in Cooper City. It's one of a growing number of such sites across the country that offer a place to spill out ugly secrets or just make sins public.
Online confessions are a wonderful thing for a poor soul burdened with guilt,it allows him to clear his conscience without the mediation (調(diào)停，斡旋) of a priest. When a sinner confesses his evil ways to his favorite god,he doesn't receive an email notifying him that his prayer has reached its destination.
But when you post your sins online,they are visible to the whole world,and at the very least you know that others have read your confession.
If you feel the need to confess your shortcomings online,feel free to visit dailyconfession.com or mysecret.tv.

One of the most expected anticipated revolutions in aviation (航空) is to take off in 2008,as new superfast,relatively cheap airplanes called "very light jets" finally go into service.
Thanks to breakthroughs in the performance of engines for small jets,along with better airplane manufacturing techniques,companies such as Eclipse Aviation,the Albuquerque,N. M.，and Adam Aircraft of Denver are promising a new kind of aircraft for a new category of travel：jetspeed transportation between as many as 5 ,500 US airports,in planes that cost as little as $1. 5 million.
That's a part of the price of today's private jets.
Waiting for final certification by the Federal Aviation Administration,which is now expected in the second quarter of 2008,Eclipse's sixseat E500 could be in the hands of pilots this July.
A private charter service based at Hanscom Field in Lexington,Mass., Linear Air LL C. already has ordered 30 of the Eclipse very light jets and plans to put them in service between August and late 2009. The planes can fly at more than 400 mph,twice the typical speed of private propellerdriven planes.
"This is the absolute future,and everybody in the aviation business knows it," said Arthur Allen,chairman of the Massachusetts Aeronautics Commission,which oversees 38 smaller airports around the state.
Because VLJs weigh as little as a minivan (微型車) ，they can land on runways as short as 3 ,000 feet―compared with the 4 ,000 or 5,000 feet required by the smallest private jets today. Allen envisions (預(yù)測) them opening up new markets for air taxi and charter services.
"It's like an executive car service,with wings," said Bill Herp,Linear Air's chief executive. " VLJs are going to revolutionize the way a large percentage of the traveling public gets around."
Part of Linear's plan with scheduled charter service is to introduce passengers to the private plane experience and turn them to future customers for $1,500 or $3,000 charter flights,either for business or vacation travel for rich consumers.
For Herp,the huge advantage of VLJs is they will cost a third as much to buy and half as much to operate per hour as traditional small jets,vastly broadening the market for air taxi and charter services.
( ) 5. What is the best title of the passage?
A. New Jets May Change Air Travel
B. The Bright Future for New Jets
C. The Advantage of the New Jets
D. Fast and Cheaper Jets
( ) 6. What is NOT the advantage of the new jets,compared with the private jets today?
A. They can cost less both in buying and using.
B. They can carry more people on the board.
C. They can fly faster and can be more convenient.
D. They need shorter runway.
( ) 7. We may learn from the passage that .
A. they are beginning to sell the new jets at lower prices
B. they will let some people experience the travel of the new jets
C. they will make the course and the price of the tickets of the jets
D. they are making contracts with taxi business
( ) 8. What does the underlined phrase "charter services" mean in the passage?
A. To hire the plane for a particular purpose.
B. To make a chart while flying.
C. The first flight.
D. A pleasant flight.
( ) 9. We can infer from the passage that .
A. the jets can be operated by an ordinary car driver in the future
B. the new jets can only be used by the rich as their private planes
C. the new jets will have a promising market
D. all the companies will use them to take the place of the cars

Street art can be found on buildings,sidewalks,street signs and even trash cans from Tokyo to Paris to New York City. This special kind of art can take the form of paintings,sculptures,cloth or even stickers. Street art has become part of a global visual culture. Now,even art museums and galleries are collecting the work of street artists.
It is not easy to provide an exact history of the street art movement. This kind of art has developed in many kinds of ways in places all over the world. Also,because it is illegal to paint public and private property without permission,street artists usually work secretly. This secretive nature of street art and its countless forms make it hard to define exactly. And people have different opinions about the movement. Some think street art is a crime and destroys property. But others see this art as a rich form of nontraditional cultural expression.
Many experts say the movement began in New York City in the nineteen sixties. Young adults would use paint in special cans to spray their "tag" on walls and train cars around the city. This tag was a name they created to identify themselves and their artwork. This colorful style of writing is also called graffiti. It is visually exciting and energetic.
Graffiti also became a separate movement expressing the street culture of young people living in big cities. Graffiti art represented social and political rebellion. These artists could travel around areas of the city making creative paintings for everyone to see. Sometimes this street art created a dispute between artists and city officials. Graffiti artists created their images and city officials quickly painted over them.
During the 1980s,two famous New York painters―Keith Haring and Jean Michel began showing their work in art galleries and museums. This is when street art started to become part of the more general popular culture.
( ) 1. What can we infer from the first paragraph?
A. Street art has become popular and is accepted as a kind of culture.

( ) 2. What can we know from the passage?

B. There are three reasons to explain why it is hard to define the history of street art.
C. The movement of street art began in the 1980s in New York City.
D. All the people don't think that the street art is a rich form of cultural expression.
( ) 3. The underlined word "dispute" in the passage means .
A. trade B. quarrel C. crime D. trouble

We know the effect calories have on your body. For each pound of weight that your body carries,it takes about 12 calories per pound per day to keep it alive. If you weigh 150 pounds,you therefore need about (150 x 12) 1,800 calories per day to keep yourself alive and maintain that same weight.
If you were to eat more than 1,800 calories per day,the surplus turns into fat. It takes about 3 ,600 excess calories to make a pound of fat.
Let's say that you were to eat,on average,2,000 calories per day. That extra 200 calories per day is going to turn into fat. However,you will eventually hit a point of equilibrium (平衡，均衡) because as you gain weight,you need more calories to maintain that weight. So,a person eating an average of 2,000 calories per day will hit equilibrium at (2,000 / 12) 166.67 pounds.So let's say that you eat,on average,2,000 calories per day and reach equilibrium at 166 pounds. Then you go on a crash diet where you eat only 1,000 calories per day for 60 days. You lose 16 pounds and reach your target weight of 150 pounds. But then you go right back to eating 2,000 calories per day again. The graph below shows your eating pattern before,during and after the diet:
Note that the graph assumes that you,like most people,eat a random number of calories per day. Some days you are "good" and eat less,and some days you are "bad" and eat more,but the assumption is that it averages out to 2,000 calories per day over the long run. This graph shows what happens to your weight before,during and after the diet ：
There are only two ways to keep the weight off:
Change your overall eating pattern so that you take in,on average,fewer calories than before you went on the diet.
Start exercising so that you "burn" the extra calories you take in.
The best course of action is a combination of these two options.
( ) 5. The problem that the writer tries to deal with is .
A. how to lose weight fast while changing the diet
B. why the weight comes back so quickly once one stops dieting
C. how to reach the point of equilibrium
D. what your target weight is
( ) 6. What can we learn from the two graphs?
A. It is hard to keep one's normal weight.
B. The better way for you to lose weight is keeping your dieting. ,
C. You will gain weight faster than before dieting.
D. It is not necessary for you to lose weight by dieting.
( ) 7. According to the passage,if you weighed 100 pounds and you were to eat on average 1400 calories per day,a year later,you would be .
A. 100 pounds B. 166.67 pounds
C. 116. 67 pounds D. 97 pounds
( ) 8. What is the best way to keep the weight off according to the passage?
A. Keep your diet and never stop.
B. Return your overall eating pattern and exercise more.
C. Take in fewer calories than before your diet and exercise more.
D. Change your diet and start exercising to burn the extra calories.
