Jamaican sprinter (短跑選手) Usain Bolt plans to send a message to rival Tyson Gay by breaking the world 100m record in the London Grand Prix on Friday.

    Bolt, who won gold in the 100m, 200m and 4*100m relay in record times at the Beijing Olympics last year, is determined to use the Crystal Palace event to crush the morale (士氣) of his main rival for gold at next month’s World Athletics Championships in Berlin.

    The 22-year-old is slowly returning to peak form after posting 19.59 sec for the 200m in Lausanne earlier this month and clocking a time of 9.79 sec over 100m in cold, rainy conditions in Paris.

    Despite Bolt’s impressive times, Gay still believes he has the beating of the Jamaican. But Bolt insists there is no one in the sport who scares him and he will prove the point in south London this weekend.

    Although Bolt believes he is only running at 85 percent at the moment while he recovers from injuries suffered in a recent car crash in Jamaica, he sees no reason why he can’t break his world record 100m time of 9.69 seconds.

    However he won’t get the chance to take on Gay in the 100m in London as the American is only running in the 200m, which Bolt is not competing in, so he will have to settle for underlining his own ability.

    “You never know what is possible. I will give my best either way. My friends are saying I’m bringing the rain wherever I go but we will see on Friday.”

    While Bolt would love to make a big impact in London, he knows the main event is the World Championships.

    “The London Grand Prix will show me where I’m at and what I need to do. After, we can analyse what I need to do ahead of the World Championships.”

According to the passage, Bolt competed and will compete in the following event. Which of them is arranged in time order?

a. Lausanne athletics gold league matches        b. Beijing Olympic Games

c. Paris athletics gold league matches            d. World Athletic championships

e. London grand Prix

A. b-c-a-e-d

B. b-c-a-d-e   C. b-a-c-e-d         D. b-a-c-d-e

What does the underlined phrase “take on” mean in paragraph 6?

A. employ     B. compete against C. accept       D. develop

Which of the following is true?

A. Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt broke the world 100m record in the London Grand Prix on Friday.

B. Bolt will not compete in the 200m in London because of Gay’s impressive times.

C. Bolt won 3 gold medals at the Beijing Olympic Games at the age of 22.

D. Bolt suffered a car crash in Jamaica recently.

What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?

A. Bolt is expecting the London Grand Prix.

B. Bolt thinks the world Championships is more important.

C. Bolt made a big difference in the London Grand Prix.

D. Bolt is not confident in his success in the London Grand Prix.

Making an apology is not the same as making amends. Sometimes we apologize just because it’s the easiest thing to do. What’s actually important is to identify where we go wrong, take full responsibility for our mistakes and , if possible, try to make up for them.
A recent case involving Hewlett-Packed, the US computer giant, shows the importance of presenting a sincere apology. The Chinese consumers who had bought notebook computers of certain models, which have been put on Chinese market since 2007, suffered a massive flash screen failures and overheating problems. Through investigation, Chinese AQSIQ (國家質(zhì)檢總局) identified these HP computers had quality problems and HP admitted this. HP made a proposal that they would extend the warranty (保修) period of such computers, but this could not satisfied the consumers. What they needed was a thorough description of the truth. HP has “sincerely” apologized. But the consumers remain angry, and say that only a product recall — as HP has done in the past — will prove that the apology is sincere.
Another apology that fell flat on its face was that of Thierry Henry, the famous French footballer. His deliberate handball in November 2009 created the goal which knocked Ireland out of the 2010 World Cup. The incident caused great anger in the football world, and eventually Henry issued an apology. Two days later, he wrote, “I’m not the referee…but if I hurt someone I’m sorry.” Better late than never, perhaps, but even then he passed the blame onto the referee!
Such high-profile cases, which attract a lot of publicity often under the spotlight, but similar incidents occur in our everyday lives. Stress caused by schoolwork and tiredness can sometimes result in outbursts of anger against friends and family. Have you ever lost your temper for minor reasons? After calming down, most people are quick to realize their mistake and apologize. But it’s just as important to identify what caused the error in the first place and take action to ensure it doesn’t happen again.
No one should hold a negative attitude to making a sincere apology. Empty words are easy to say, but they are as useless as they sound. A real show of remorse（痛悔;自責(zé)）demands hard work and commitment to put error right. 
【小題1】What does the author intend to tell us in the case of HP?

A．A true apology needs sincere actions.
B．HP should recall all the faulty computers.
C．Good quality makes a good company.
D．A company should apologize and pay for their mistakes.
【小題2】 According to the author, when we do anything wrong we firstly _________.
A．make an apology face to face honestly
B．a(chǎn)dmit we were wrong and try to make the wrong right
C．take the responsibility for apologizing to others
D．choose the easiest thing to do
【小題3】We can infer from the case of Thierry Henry that _________ .
A．it’s never too late to say “I’m sorry.”
B．writing an apology is not a good idea
C．Henry didn’t identify his fault.
D．the football fans were mad with Henry.
【小題4】Which of the following can best explain the word “commitment” in the last paragraph?
A．Decision.B．Promise.C．Agreement.D．Responsibility.
【小題5】 What’s the best title of this passage?
A．What really puts things right
B．Don’t apologize easily
C．Making an apology — no one is out of exception
D．How to judge an apology — sincere enough?

Has anyone noticed how, with the passage of time, one’s relationship with one’s grown-up daughters and sons becomes changed? I’ve been aware of this for some time but I’m not quite sure how to deal with it.
Take the kitchen sink for example.
Following a family get-together at my place, I walked into the kitchen to find Kate, my daughter carefully cleaning the sink.
“Don’t do that; what are you doing that for?” I said, unhappy about the hidden criticism.
“Mum,” she said, “you really ought to put your glasses on when you clean the sink. Behind the tap here was black!”
But it’s not just things like kitchen sinks. Another time Kate arrived to pick me up to lunch. She looked at me and then asked, “Mum, why do you use brown eyebrow pencil when your hair is grey?”
A sudden memory of her, aged 14, going to her first mixed party flooded back. She had come in to say goodbye. For a moment I thought she’d been an accident. Both eyes were black. I remember suggesting that perhaps a little less eye make-up might be more effective.
Now I told her, “My hair used to be brown.”
“It looks absurd.”
“Mrs. Menzies had dark eyebrows with grey hair.”
“Yes, but you’re not Mrs. Menzies, are you?” she said triumphantly, as if that proved her point.
But a recent event made me realize that something really must be done.
She had returned some for a few weeks before getting married. One evening I went out on a dinner date. By the time my companion left me at the front door, it was about 2am. As I stepped in, an angry figure in a white nightgown stopped me.
“Well, what time of night is this to be coming home?” she shouted. “Where have you been? I’ve been worried sick!”
Shades of the past come back to disturb me. But what should I do about all this? Nothing, probably. Maybe, after all, it’s only a stage young people are going through.
【小題1】The daughter thought her mother didn’t clean the kitchen sink well because of her        .

A．lazinessB．carelessnessC．unhappinessD．poor-quality glasses
【小題2】From the passage we know the daughter         .
A．didn’t want to help with the sink
B．didn’t like brown eyebrow pencils
C．had an accident when she went to her first party
D．shouted at her mum because she came home late
【小題3】How does the mother feel after all these have happened?
A．Shocked.B．Proud.C．Envious.D．Confused.
【小題4】The author writes the stories to prove that         .
A．their relationship became stronger
B．their roles changed as time passed
C．her daughter very much cared about her
D．her daughter got upset as she grew up
