How did it make you feel when you learned that KFC’S Beijing restaurants pulled three more items from their menus last week? There were fears that the items may have contained the cancer-causing coloring Sudan I.Do you have any desire to take the food provider to court because it feeds you something dangerous?
After all,the law supposedly gives people the right to fight for their rights.But some experts have said it might not be so wise to take the company directly to court.
Qiu Baochang,a lawyer in Beijing,suggested that consumers not take the company directly to court.“In addition to the high costs,consumers’complaints are unlikely to win unless they can prove they have had the banned dye at KFC,”—Qiu explained.
One problem for those wanting to take action against the fast food chain is that few customers ask for or keep receipts(收據).And,this must be the first step.
If they can prove that their health has been damaged by KFC,they can cue(控告)the company.But that would be almost impossible to do so because the Sudan I damage is a long-term effect and is not immediately apparent.
A KFC spokesperson said on Monday that the company was confdent of being able to handle customers’complaints,“We will obey legal procedure if We raceive any complaints.”
小題1:Why did KFC’s Beijing restaurants pull three more items from their menus?
A.Because the company was afraid to handle customers’complaints.
B.Because coloring Sudan I may have been contained in those items.
C.Because the KFC’s restaurants were accused ofselling poisonous food to the customers.
D.Because these items were no longer popular with the customers.
小題2:The reason why experts suggested not taking the company directly to court is that      .
A.the costs will be high
B.consumers can’t prove food contained Sudan I
C.consumers can’t prove the food at KFC damaged their health
D.all of the above
小題3:This passage most probably appears in      .
A.a notice.
B.a book on cooking.
C.a story book.
D.a newspaper.
小題4:What is the general ieda of the passage?
A.KFC’s Beijing restaurants pulled three items from their menus last week.
B.How the consumers dealt with the KFC problem.
C.How KFC handled the customers’s complaints.
D.Consumers never forget to ask for or keep receipts.

The average college student in America spent an estimated seven hundred dollars on textbooks last year. The National Association of College Stores reported more than five billion dollars in sales of textbooks and course materials. Association spokesman Charles Schmidt says electronic textbooks now represent just two to three percent of sales. But he says that is expected to reach ten to fifteen percent by 2012. Online versions are now available for many of the most popular college textbooks. E-textbooks can cost half the price of a new print textbook. But students usually lose access after the end of the term. And the books cannot be placed on more than one device (裝置) so they are not easy to share.
So what do students think of e-textbooks? Administrators at Northwest Missouri State University wanted to find out. Earlier this year they tested them with five hundred students in twenty classes. The university is unusual. It not only provides laptop computers to all seven thousand of its full-time students. It does not require students to buy their textbooks either. They rent them to save money. The school aims to save even more by moving to e-textbooks. The students in the survey reported that downloading the books from the Internet was easy. They liked the idea of carrying lighter backpacks. And fifty-six percent said they were better able to find information. But most found that using e-textbooks did not change their study habits. And sixty percent felt they read more when they were reading on paper. In all, almost half the students said they still liked physical textbooks better. But the survey found that cost could be a big influence. Fifty-five percent said they would choose e-textbooks if using them meant their textbook rental fee would not increase. Roger Von Holzen heads the Center for Information Technology in Education at Northwest Missouri State. He tells us that administrators are disappointed with the e-textbooks now available because the majority are not interactive. He thinks growth will come when more digital books include video, activities, games and other ways to interact with the information. The technology is improving. But for now, most of the books are just words on a screen.
小題1:The passage mainly tells us about ________.
A.the development of e-textbooks
B.different attitudes towards e-textbooks
C.the sales of textbooks and course materials
D.the differences between e-textbooks and physical text-books
小題2:According to the survey, over half of the students think e-textbooks ________.
A.can be rented for less moneyB.help in finding more information
C.are convenient to carry aroundD.help them do better in their lessons
小題3:It can be inferred from the passage that e-textbooks ________.
A.will replace physical textbooksB.are available at any time
C.have a very bright futureD.still have a lot to improve

Texting in the street—your funeral
Millions of people are putting their lives at risk by texting their friends as they walk along busy streets, reported the Daily Mail.
One in ten  41  users has already been  42  because they are so lost in their phones that they fail to  43  lamp-posts or cars, according to Joanna Lumdsen of Aston University.
To test the danger of texting while  44  , Lumdsen did an experiment in which volunteers followed a  45  path while trying to  46  in a message on the phone.
Around them, screens  47  up instructions to avoid stepping on  48  colors on the floor.
She found that people missed one in five  49  because they were so busy with their phones.
“In  50  life this means that one in five lamp-posts or moving cars is  51
to go unnoticed by people  52  and walking,” she said.
Her research is looking for ways cell phone makers could improve the  53
of phones to make texting on the move  54  . That could  55  easier-to-use voice operated phones, or phones that respond to gestures.
“The safest thing is  56  people not to text while they walk along,” she said. “ 57  a lot of people in business are  58  to carry a mobile phone and be in  59  24 hours a day, seven days a week. They are under pressure to reply to calls  60  , and to respond to text messages and emails straight away.

    The legal age for drinking alcohol in the Unite States is twenty-one. Underage drinking is a crime but also a common part of college social life. This week in our Foreign Student Series, we look at alcohol rules at American colleges and universities. These rules differ from school to school, but many schools have been moving to strengthen their rules.
    The United States has more than 17,000,000 students in higher education. Each year, 1700 of them die from alcohol-related road crashes and other injuries. 600,000 more are injured while under the influence of alcohol. And almost 700,000 are attacked by another drunken.
    One behavior that college officials are trying to prevent is too much drink. Some researchers have found that students who think binge drinking(狂飲) is normal often think extremely how much other students really drink. A person can die of alcohol poisoning. At Oklahoma University, a nineteen-year-old student died from drinking heavily at a party in 2005.
    Now alcohol is banned from all sorority houses(聯誼會會館) and university housing. Student organizations can serve alcohol at events but only on Friday and Saturday nights. Other new requirements include an alcohol education program that first-year students take online.
    The rules govern behavior on campus(大學校園)and off. With a first violation(違犯),students pay seventy-five dollars and their parents are told. They must also take an alcohol education class. For a second “strike”, they have to pay one hundred fifty dollars. A third strike means that they have to be suspended school for at least one semester.
    Since 2005,363 students have had a first strike. 30 have had a second strike-and only one hasn’t allowed to go to school for one semester. The president at Oklahoma tells us the aim is not just to punish but to change the behavior and culture at the university.
    小題1:The first paragraph mainly tells us that            .
    A.the legal age at the lowest for drinking alcohol is 21
    B.many colleges consider drinking alcohol to be a crime
    C.drinking alcohol is a necessary and popular campus culture
    D.American colleges and universities have their own alcohol rules
    小題2:Every year the number of the students who die or are injured because of alcohol in the USA adds up to about        .
    A.17,000,000B.1,301,700C.601,700D.1300,000
    小題3:If a student has a third strike, he or she should            .
    A.have to stop going to school for a time.
    B.be removed to another school
    C.be locked at home for a period.
    D.be forced to leave school forever.
    小題4:Which of the following is TRUE?
    A.College students are not allowed to drink alcohol at any time.
    B.If students take an alcohol program online, they can drink alcohol.
    C.Students having a first strike only receive punishment of fine.
    D.Students with a second strike pay twice as much as students with a first strike.
    小題5:From the last paragraph we can infer that         .
    A.alcohol rules have no effect on college students
    B.drinking alcohol remains a serious problem
    C.alcohol rules aim to change the behavior and culture at the university
    D.the number of students drinking alcohol is dropping in one way

    Microsoft founder Bill Gates said that he planned to give away almost all of his vast fortune, largely to the cause of global health, during the course of his lifetime. With an estimated (估計) worth of more than $40 billion, according to Forbes, the project will be no small feat (功績) for Gates. Having already provided the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation with $24 billion to address global health issues, Gates said that eventually his entire fortune will be put towards the cause except “a few percent left for the kids”.
    So what has made the richest man in the world to channel his resources so heavily into one interest? Gates believes that “the equality of opportunity” in which Americans take such pride needs to extend to other nations around the world. Improving the health of the population, he says, has proven to be an essential (實質的) method in helping poor countries to be financially successful. “National borders allow inequalities,” said Gates: “We all need to take a more global view, rather than just saying my country is doing well. We have to step up these health issues, knowing how few resources are going into them.”
    Gates said that both his parents set an example for him as a child. His father, William H. Gates, was the head of the local Planned Parenthood, and his mother, Mary, volunteered for the United Way. As he gathered his fortune, Gates knew he would eventually want to give back as well, but he didn’t expect to devote himself whole-heartedly to one project until he was about 60.
    However, Gates, 47, began to question his ability to wait that long. “It seemed there was a real time urgency (緊迫),” Gates said. “I started to think, how many lives could I save before then?”
    小題1:.. Bill Gates will give away his vast fortune to ___.
    A.improve the health of population in America alone
    B.improve the health of population all over the world
    C.avoid leaving his children too much money
    D.spare the American government the burden of health care
    小題2:.. Bill Gates believes that one important way of developing poor countries is ___.
    A.to set up more foundations for themB.to aid them with natural resources
    C.to put more effort into the health issues in themD.to help them take a more global view
    小題3:. It can be learned from the text that Bill Gates thinks ___.
    A.Americans should care about people in other countries
    B.Americans should treat fellow citizens well
    C.Americans should devote themselves to certain projects
    D. Americans can be world-famous by giving away vast fortune
    小題4:.. Bill Gates gave away his vast fortune earlier than he had expected because of ___.
    A.his weakening health conditionB.his parents’ suggestions
    C.his great success in businessD.his concern for suffering people
    小題5:. The underlined word “channel” probably has a similar meaning as it is used in sentence “___”.
    A.Try to channel your abilities into something useful
    B.We ought to channel this street so that water can flow away easily
    C.Ships must follow the channel into the portD.Which channel will you be broadcasting tonight

    The desire for a better life is sometimes so big that it makes people leave their countries and their families and work in other countries. They know that they will have to face difficult moments,that they won’t be able to communicate with the persons around them,and that maybe they will have to work in illegal conditions to get the money they need for their families,but they all take these chances and they hope they will succeed.
    On the other hand,there are people who immigrate(移民)just for the sake of the people they love. They leave their families to make other families with the people they love. Women go to meet their men who have chosen other countries to start a new life,even if they miss their families and friends. Maybe they don’t have a place to work but they are able to wait to see what destiny(命運) has for them.
    There are also the cases of the people who are forced to leave their countries because of a war which threatens their lives. They’d rather start from the very beginning again than risk putting their lives in danger.
    When well­developed countries see that their homeland is being “invaded” by lots of immigrants,they set new laws that make immigration harder. As a result of this,many illegal immigrants cross the borders and are eager to work,although they are paid only half the amount of money native workers receive for the same kind of job.
    The opinions of the local people are varied and they range from total refusal to complete acceptance. Immigrants in countries which have large communities of them are fighting for the recognition of their social rights and for equal treatment.
    Many immigrants have managed to be fully accepted by the communities where they live and have managed to change the opinions of the local people about them.
    小題1:Which of the following reasons for immigration is NOT mentioned in the passage?
    A.Escaping from a war.B.Being reunited with the beloved people.
    C.Seeking a better life.D.Studying a foreign language.
    小題2:What’s the usual response to immigrants in well­developed countries?
    A.To accept them.B.To put limitations on immigration.
    C.To refuse them.D.To encourage them.
    小題3:The passage implies that ________.
    A.culture shock causes great anxiety in some immigrants
    B.illegal immigrants cause great damage to developed countries
    C.stricter laws should be set to prevent immigration
    D.many people go to other countries with great determination

    Parents, our first teachers, play a highly significant role in our lives.However, doesn't it seem that many of us come to have conflicts with them when we start high school? We're less likely to listen to them and take their suggestions—we even rebel against them.
    Why? It may be the so-called "generation gap".A generation gap appears when we begin to feel our parents
    are ignoring us, don't understand us, and we feel we can no longer share our feelings with them.
    The key reason is our desire for independence.In senior high school, we start to want to take responsibility for our own lives and make our own decisions.But parents resist this.They still want to control us and try to force us to do things they think we should do.Debate and discussion often come to nothing.Gradually, we talk with them less, and keep our feelings locked up inside.
    Zhang Xiaoyun, 16, of Ningbo, Zhejiang, has talked less and less with her mother since she started senior high school."She believes studies should be my priority, not my inner world," Zhang said."Each day, she asks me the same old questions like, 'How was your last exam? or 'Have you made any progress in physics?" To Zhang, these questions are annoying and so she always tries to ignore them and answers perfunctorily."Sometimes, when I get upset, I quarrel with her.After, she comes to apologize and comfort me.But I know, she doesn't completely understand me," Zhang said.Now, a home that was once full of laughter has fallen into gloom and silence.
    The generation gap can be harmful.Because of the lack of communication, our parents no longer know what we are thinking about.There are quarrels, even over trivial things.When that happens, we may not be able to concentrate on our studies.Some of us even become afraid to go home after school— a very serious situation for the whole family.
    小題1:Which of the following is not included in article?
    A.The causes of generation gap.B.The effects of generation gap.
    C.One example of generation gap.D.Ways of narrowing generation gap.
    小題2:Which of the following is one reason for the generation gap according to the passage?
    A.Modern society changing very fast.
    B.Parents having unrealistic hopes of their children.
    C.Parents and kids not understanding and respecting each other.
    D.Young people liking to escape from the control of their parents.
    小題3:Which of the following word has the closet meaning to the underlined word "perfunctorily"?
    A.attentivelyB.indifferently
    C.flatteringlyD.seriously
    小題4:In the view of the author,____.
    A.parents should allow their children more freedom
    B.parents and children should not stay together
    C.the younger generation should value the older generation
    D.academic records are more important than one's inner world

    There have been great changes in the lives of women. During the twentieth century ,there was an unusual shortening of the time of a woman’s life spent in caring for children. A woman marrying at the end of the 19th century would probably have been in her middle twenties, and would be likely to have about eight children, of whom about five lived till they were five years old. By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which custom, chance and health made it unusual for her to get paid work. Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a woman’s youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty. Even while she has the care of children, her work is lightened by household appliances(家用電器) and convenience(方便) foods.
    This important change in women’s way of life has only recently begun to have its full effect on women’s economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left school at the first opportunity and most of them took a full-time job. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school-leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age, and though women tend to marry younger, more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Very many more afterwards, return to full or part-time work. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with both husband and wife accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfaction of family life, and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money and running the home, according to the abilities and interest of each them.
    小題1:Women marrying at the end of the 19th century ________.
    A.would have fewer children than those today.
    B.would have more children than those today.
    C.lived as hard as those in the 20th century
    D.lived more comfortably than those in the 20th century
    小題2: According to the passage, a woman in the 19th century would likely to have about eight children and _______.
    A.only about three of them could live more than five years old.
    B.only about three of them could live for five years.
    C.about eight children lived to be more than five years.
    D.about eight children lived to be less than five years.
    小題3: From the second paragraph, we know _______.
    A.women today are not willing to run their home together with their husbands.
    B.women today wouldn’t like to do any housework.
    C.women today will return to work after they have their babies.
    D.were unlikely to find jobs like the mothers before .
    小題4:According to the passage, which of the following is right ?
    A.in the past most women often stay at home after leaving school
    B.women today like to marry men younger than themselves
    C.women today are playing important parts in work and family life.
    D.husbands today needn’t do any work at home.

    Many people think that the BBC news programs are better than those on other channels because the BBC is not a commercial company. It pays for its programs from the television license money which everyone must pay if they have a television.
    The BBC, which is often known as "Auntie", is the biggest news collecting operation in the world. It has the world’s largest network of foreign correspondents (通訊員;記者). Ten percent of the BBC’s annual budget is spent on news collecting, reporting and presenting. More than 1,700 people work for the BBC news service.
    The BBC produces more than 214 hours of news and current affairs programs for radio and television each week. Each television news program costs about £78,000 per hour and each radio news program costs approximately £4,800 per hour. In the UK, about 19 million people ― almost 35% of the total population, watch the BBC television news progams every day.
    Developments in technology are improving news collection and presentation every year. The BBC now uses special cameras in the TV news studios to film the news presenters, and captions― the words and sentences at the bottom of the screen, are now produced automatically by computer.

    A.many people are more content with the BBC than with other channels
