     A lot of people are familiar with the story of Brave Gelert, a dog that faithfully defended the prince's son,
but which was then killed while it was fast asleep through a terrible misunderstanding. However, only a few
people know that the story is really a pack of lies. Let me explain.
     About a hundred or so years ago there was a hotel owner in Wales who was fed up with business being
so bad. His hotel was stuck in the middle of nowhere and hardly anyone came to stay. Then, one day, he had
an idea. A famous prince called Llewellyn had lived in the area during the Middle Ages and had been keen on
dogs. This is hardly surprising as hunting was extremely popular at that time. So what he did was to make
up the story of the brave and faithful Gelert and how he had been killed by his ungrateful master.
     Of course, people would be far more likely to believe the story if there was something they could see. So
one day, the hotel keeper went to the top of a high hill and built a sort of monument from the stones he found
lying around A friend of his, who was an accountant, helped him to construct it. The "tale" soon caught on
and developed a life of its own. Afterwards, people came from far and wide to see the spot where the dog
was buried. Needless to say, business became very good for the hotel owner.
1. According to the tale, the dog was killed by ______.
A. a hotel owner
B. a famous accountant
C. its master
D. the prince's son
2. The owner of the hotel successfully improved his business by ______.
A. making up a story
B. constructing a hotel on the hill
C. showing people around his hotel
D. inviting a friend to help him
3. The hotel owner built the stone monument in order to _____.
A. make more money
B. remember the loyal dog
C. show off
D. honor the prince
4. What could be the best title for this passage?
A. A Prince and His Dog
B. A Profit - Making Lie
C. A Magnificent Hotel
D. A Faithful but Unlucky Dog

     Indian's snake charmers are to be retrained as wildlife teachers under a plan to prevent their unique skills
and knowledge from being lost. The charmers, who make snakes dance to the sound of flutes (笛子), used
to be a traditional feature of Indian life, performing in towns and villages, until they were banned in 1972 to
control the trade in snake skins.
     The government is now considering a plan to train the saperas, as they are known, to visit schools and
zoos to tell children about forests and wildlife. There is also a proposal to set up a "dial a snake charmer"
service to help householders to deal with unwelcome intruders.
     "For generations they have been a feature of Indian life but now they can't earn a living for fear of arrest,"
said Behar Dutt, a conservationist behind the plans,"if a policeman doesn't catch them, animal rights activists
report them."
      Many snake charmers have continued to work clandestinely since the ban, despite the threat of up to
three years in jail. But their trademark cloth-covered baskets, hung from a bamboo pole carried across their
shoulders, make them an easy target for police.
     The fate of Shisha Nath, 56, from Badarpur, a village just outside of Delhi, is typical of practitioners (從
業(yè)者) of the dying art."I used to earn enough to support my family and send my children to school, "he said
"Now it's hard to earn even f, 1 a day. My children want to be snake charmers. It's our identity. We love the
work. But it s become impossible.
     Next month Dutt's project to train 30 snake charmers will begin at a snake park in Pune, western India,
where experts will enrich their home-grown skills with some formal knowledge.
     More than the law, though, it is the dishonest attitude of their fellow countryman that angers many snake
charmers.
     "'We're disturbed all the time but when people want a snake removed from the house, they rush to us,"
said Prakash Nath, who was ordered recently to the home of Sonia Gandhi, the Congress party leader.
1. According to the passage, snake charmers will be retrained as wildlife teachers mainly because _____.
A. schools need large numbers of such teachers
B. most of them cannot support their families
C. their performances on the street are banned
D. the government plans to save the dying art
2. The purpose of the proposed "dial a snake charmer" telephone service is _____.
A. to give performance of snake dancing
B. to teach householders how to catch and kill snakes
C. to offer cleaning service to wealthy householders
D. to help remove unwanted snakes from the houses
3. The word "clandestinely" in paragraph 4 can be best replaced by the word "_____"
A. secretly
B. publicly
C. subconsciously
D. diligently
4. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Snake charmers can easily be recognized by the police on the street.
B. Children of snake charmers would not like to continue their fathers' job.
C. Snake charmers are quite angry with the attitude of their fellow countrymen.
D. The animal rights activists take a negative attitude towards snake charmers.

Directions: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph.
There is one extra heading, which you do not need.

A. Tuvaluan people became rich overnight
B. Signs of sinking have appeared on Tuvaiu
C. The news came that the country would be drowned
D. Tuvaluan people have suffered from serious diseases
E. Desire to enjoy life has caused serious consequences
F. Tuvaluan people are improving their living standards despite the rising sea

1. (     )
     If you suddenly received a lot of money, how would you spend it? For the people of Tuvalu, a tiny state
comprising nine islands in the South Pacific, something unusual happened. In 1999 Tuvalu, with its population
of 11,000,was the third poorest state in the world. Later, Tuvalu received a domain name on the Internet-the
letters ".tv". A communication company from California quickly offered to buy the domain name for $ 40
million. The islanders became very rich.
2. (     )
     At the same time the islanders received some very bad news. Due to global warming, and because the
islands are only 3m above sea level, Tuvalu will probably become the first state in the world to disappear
under the sea. According to scientific estimates, the islands will suffer severe floods within the next 15-20
years, and by the end of the century, the islands will have disappeared from sight altogether.
3. (     )
     You can already see signs of the rising sea on Tuvalu. Pools of seawater appear here and there, some
beaches are swallowed by the waves, and the roots of trees are rotting by the ocean. The rains cause
temporary floods.
4. (     ) 
     But despite these problems, the Tuvaluan had their new money. Paul Lindsay, a documentary film-maker,
went all the way to Tuvalu, and came back with an incredible story. As the water rises, the Tuvaluan are using
the money to develop the land that is soon to disappear. They are building new houses, planning nightclubs,
restaurants and hotels, and new cars are driving around on new roads."Just because we are sinking, it doesn't
mean we don't want to raise our standards of living." Lindsay was told by Sam Teo, Tuvalu' s minister for
natural resources. 
5. (     )
     Of the $ 40 million Tuvalu received through the Internet deal, $ 10 million was used to asphalt the islands'
L9km of roads. Before 1999 there were four cars on the islands. The Tuvaluan used to walk or cycle
everywhere. There was a flood of imported foods and goods and soon these had unexpected consequences.
The Tuvaluan people now suffer from diseases such as obesity, high blood pressure and diabetes. Others
discovered that it was too expensive for them to keep their cars. There is now a huge rubbish dump in the
 middle of this tropical paradise, covered with abandoned cars and other waste.

     On a hot summer day, a soft drink can really take away your thirst. At home, at school, in the park or at
the movies-you can find one almost anywhere.
     Carbonated (碳酸的)
     You can see bubbles in these! Of all soft drinks sold, about 75 percent are carbonated. But be careful,
carbonated soft drinks have lots of sugar and caffeine. Caffeine is not very good for you in the summer,
because it takes water out of your body. And the sugar can make you overweight if you drink too much.
     Fruit juice
     There are different kinds of juice. One kind is made only from fresh fruit. This kind of fruit juice may not
taste sweet enough for some people, but it is nutritious. Another kind of fruit juice tastes good but has lots of
sugar in it. Many young people buy this kind because the advertisements are good. It is bad for your teeth and
bones to drink lots of this.
     Energy drinks
     These kinds of drinks have caffeine and things that make people get excited in them. They are sometimes
called"party drinks". Doctors say that if you drink too much of this kind, you may have a heart attack.
     Bottled water
     We have lots of different kinds of bottled water, such as mineral water, purified water and distilled (蒸餾
的) water. They are clean and easy to drink. But it is best not to drink very cold water. It may make your
stomach feel bad.
     Sports drinks
     Most of these have funny names like "Scream" and "G-Vital". They have lots of vitamins and minerals in
them. After you play sports, you may want to drink one of these.
     But if you just spend your summer holiday sitting around watching TV, you won't need them at all!
1. Which of the following is NOT suitable for you to take if you go climbing?
A. Carbonated soft drinks.

     The world's biggest Internet search engine, Google, has proven once again to be king of the Web. Users
can download "Google Wi-Fi" software and then enjoy free Wi-Fi service available in some US cities since

     A person with a Wi-Fi enabled computer can connect to the Internet when near one of the network's
access points. The place covered by one or several access points is called a hotspot. Google has already set
up two"hotspots" in the US city of San Francisco which provide a free Wi-Fi service.
     The Wi-Fi technology even allows users to enjoy a free Internet phone service. Some scientists argue that
Wi-Fi may replace mobile phone networks.
     Wi Fi is still limited to a few cities, where there are"hotspots". But its capability (容量) of sending
information has already done better than that of the mobile phone network, even that of 3G(Third Generation
telecommunication technology). Some scientists have started to call Wi-Fi 4G.
     In addition to a high speed Internet connection, Wi-Fi has other advantages com pared to mobile phones.
Wi-Fi is global. The same Wi-Fi system works in different countries around the world. Different from using

     [1] Queuing, warm beer and afternoon tea-what do they have in common? They are all part of British life.
Or so I thought. However, the ability to queue for long periods of time, once believed to be a typical traditional
characteristic of the British, is no longer tolerated by people in the UK, according to a survey done by the
Payments Council. It would seem they are no longer prepared to wait in line.
     [2] Once upon a time, queuing was seen as normal. During the second World War, everyone had to queue
up to receive their daily ration (配給) of foods. In fact, if you didn't stand up and wait in line with all the others,
it was uncivilized (不文明).The famous English double-decker buses, with only one entrance, might also help
explain why queuing was seen as a part of life. Almost always, there is a queue to get on.
     [3] But perhaps the British are tired of being pushed by the Spanish, the Italians or the French as they
queue up to get a table at a restaurant. The people of these other European countries have more than one
entrance to their buses, which could explain their more relaxed attitude to the queue.
     [4] Two minutes is now the longest time most British are prepared to stand and wait. But could it be that
the Internet, which allows us to carry out tasks quickly, is the main reason why British people are no longer
prepared to queue? As the Internet has become more popular among shoppers, impatience with queuing has
increased.
     [5] "Used to buying without delay, customers are even abandoning purchases rather than wait their turn,"
says Stuart Neal of Barclaycard. "Shoppers are also less likely to queue for longer if the item they are buying
is of low value." Perhaps I will have to replace "queuing" with"impatience" in my list of things I associate with
the British.
1. What is the main idea of the text? (no more than 8 words)
_______________________________________________________________________________
2. Which of the fol1owing can be replaced by the following one? In the past queuing was thought

     To understand the marketing concept, it is only necessary to understand the difference between marketing
and selling. Not too many years ago, most industries concentrated primarily on the efficient production of
goods, and then relied on "persuasive salesmanship" to move as much of these goods as possible. Such
production and selling focuses on the needs of the seller to produce goods and then convert (使轉(zhuǎn)換) them
into money.
     Marketing, on the other hand, focuses on the wants of consumers. It begins with first analyzing the
preferences and demands of consumers and then producing goods that will satisfy them. This
eye-on-the-consumer approach is known as the marketing concept, which simply means that instead of trying
to sell whatever is easiest to produce, the makers and dealers first find out what the consumer wants to buy
and then go about making it available for purchase.
     This concept does not imply that business is benevolent (慈善的) or that consumer satisfaction is given
priority over profit in a company. There are always two sides to every business transaction-the firm and the
customer-and each must be satisfied before trade occurs. Successful merchants and producers, however,
recognize that the surest route to profit is through understanding and catering to (迎合) customers. A striking
example of the importance of catering to the consumer presented itself in mid-1985, when Coca Cola changed
the flavor of its drink. The non-acceptance of the new flavor by a significant portion of the public brought
about a prompt restoration (恢復(fù)) of the Classic Coke, which was then marketed alongside the new.
1. The marketing concept discussed in the passage is ______.
A. the practice of turning goods into money
B. making goods available for purchase
C. the customer-centered approach
D. a form of persuasive salesmanship
2. What was the main concern of industries before the marketing concept was widely accepted?
A. The needs of the market.
B. The efficiency of production.
C. The satisfaction of the user.
D. The preferences of the dealer.
3. According to the passage, "to move as much of these goods as possible" ( in Paragraph 1) means "______".
A. to sell the largest possible quantity of goods
B. to transport goods as efficiently as possible
C. to get rid of these goods in large quantities
D. to redesign these goods for large-scale production
4. What does the restoration of the Classic Coke best prove?
A. Traditional goods have a stronger appeal to the majority of people.
B. It takes time for a new product to be accepted by the public.
C. Consumers with conservative tastes are often difficult to please.
D. Products must be designed to suit the taste of the consumer.

     Mistakes are a part of life. To err is human. Failure is also a part of life, not the end of life. Be happy facing life's challenges. When you make the effort to be happy and to improve your life, you are actually rewarded along the way.
     Life is like a game and maybe you can award (獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)) points for every effort that has been a success for you. Try it. Add ten points for every achievement. And when you have reached 50 points, just yell, "Hey, I've won!" and give yourself a reward. If you happen to have missed your points for whatever reasons, tell yourself,"well, I tried!" which is better than not trying at all. Don't let it be said you didn't try.
     What is it that you want to make yourself happy? Actually happiness means different things to different people. For example, an athlete will be happy winning his first race. For a new mother happiness would be seeing her baby's first steps. Happiness for a poor person would mean having a meal just for today. So happiness for you is really something simple that you want for yourself.
     It really does not have to be big. As a matter of fact you should always have realistic expectations. Make the best out of every given situation. If you expect a certain result from a situation and it does not happen, don't get despondent. This just means trying harder next time. We all have in us the power to succeed. Don't let "give up" be a part of your vocabulary.
1. By saying "To err is human", the author means that ______.
A. human beings should try to avoid making mistakes

      Until recently we had been living in the Yukon Territory in Canada, in a town seventy miles or so of the
Arctic Circle. It is romantically called "The Land of the Midnight Sun" because during the summer the sun
shines continuously, even at midnight. On the other hand, it is also called "The Land of Darkness" because
in winter the opposite happens. 
       My classmates probably thought I liked to tell tales when I said I had to walk to school on a river in my
hometown. But it was true.
       When the darkness comes, so does the cold, because there is no sun to give warmth. The land becomes
a world of ice and snow. The few roads that link villages are completely (完全地) covered with snow; people
must travel on frozen rivers. If they do not have far to go, they put on snowshoes. These shoes prevent them
from sinking into the thick snow. However, if they have a long journey to make they ride in dog sleds. 
       Rivers are very important to the people of the Yukon. When summer comes and the sun once more shines
upon the land, the rivers become moving highways suitable for boats and canoes. 
       Of course, another important means of transportation for all of us in the village was the plane, which
provided us with the only means of getting to the outside world.
1. Which of the following in NOT true according to the passage?
[     ]
A. The Yukon Territory is in Canada.
B. Dogsleds are used for long journeys.
C. Winter is longer than summer in Yukon.

     China is likely to surpass the U.S. to become world's largest online game market this year, according to
a recent report by market research firm iResearch. China's online game market generated revenue (總收入)
of 20.8 billion yuan($3.04 billion) in 2008, up 52.2% over the previous year. Over 80% of the revenue came
from big, multiplayer online games, with the rest generated from Web games and mobile games. 　　
     The overall market is expected to keep growing at an average annual rate of 20% in the coming five years.
And iResearch forecasts that the Chinese online market will be worth more than 68 billion yuan by 2012,
which will account for almost half of the global market by then. At present, U.S., China and Korea are the
world's top three largest online game markets, making up about 29%, 27% and 21% respectively of the global
online game market, according to the report. 　　
     U.S. game companies derive a major part of their revenue from sales of games overseas. South Korea's
online game industry generates half of its revenue from games in its home market. In China, however, most
of the money comes directly from its own game players. Negatively influenced by the global economic
downturn, both the U.S. and Korea markets will see a drop in game exporting, iResearch estimates. 　　
     In China, the enormous base and fast growing of online gamers will further boost China's online game
industry, said the report. China is currently home to 55.5 million online game players, according to the latest
stats by the China Internet Network Information Center(CNNIC). In its report, iResearch found that figures
for gamers under 18 and above 40 grew at their fastest rate yet last year, though it didn't disclose specifics.
