Scottsdale was a typical American suburb in the 1950s,with children going to each other's houses to play, or riding their bikes around the neighborhood．But for Steven Spielberg none of these “normal” activities were very exacting．Instead he made his own entertainment, like the time he 1  his younger sisters that he had a dead body in his bedroom and almost frightened them to death．

       When Steven was about seven years o1d,  he developed a  2 for television, despite the  3   his parents made t control the children's viewing．His father   4   placed hair on the television“ON' switch to know when Steven watched TV． But Steven would 5  its position and replace it after watching hours of television．

       A chance finally came for Steven to  6   his ability to entertain with his enthusiasm for television．When his father received a movie camera for Father’s Day, the movies he took, “according to Steven, were  7 ．Annoyed by his son's  8  cynicism（批評(píng)），he gave the camera to Steven．

       Steven proved to be a（ an） 9 with the camera and quickly made several films using his own toys as the performers．His parents were  10  by how life-like they were and so he began a  magnificent movie career．

       Leaders of the European Union say they will help Greece as it Struggles under a mountain of debt．They promise to take action, 1  needed, “to maintain financial stability in the euro（歐元）area as a whole．”

       But the leaders did not announce any  2  （ detail） plan for Greece after meeting Thursday in Brussels．They said that was 3 Greece has not requested any financial support．European Commission President said this means the government believes  4 does not need the support．

       Business rnen had a mixed reaction  5  the statements from Brussels．Worries over Greek debt have pushed the euro to its   6   （low）value in manths against the dollar．European Union finance ministers are expected to talk about Greece when they meet in the Belgian capital next week．

       Sixteen of  7  twenty-seven nations in the European Union use euro as their currency．Now , the stronger members  8   （ seek） ways to help the weaker ones．European Union rules limit the choices for a rescue．The European Central Bank and national central banks are not permitted to aid members by purchasing their debt．

       European officials hope to avoid the economic disasters  9   could become even worse if Greece fails  10 （ pay） its debt．This year Greece's dent could reach 120% of its G．D．P．

Increasingly over the last few years, we have become familiar with the range of small electronic devices or  “smart” accessories （附件,飾品 ）．Pocket heart -rate monitors for joggers and electronic maps are just the first examples of many new products that promise to change our lives in all sorts of surprising ways．

       As a scientist at New York University．Rosalind Picard tries out different smart accessories before they go on the market．One of these was the so-called " frown （皺眉）headband"．Rosalind was shocked to realize just how often she frowned．Stuck in a traffic jam recently, Rosalind kept hearing the sounds of the tiny sensor inside the band worn around her forehead -each time she frowned in annoyance, the sensor gave out a signal．

       Another computer scientist , Stevcn Feiner, is working on a pair of glasses that will do more than help you to see ．Imagine you want to try a restaurant in a foreign city but you're not familiar with the dishes on the menu． If you are wearing a pair of Steven's glasses ．a(chǎn)ll you have to do is glance above the restaurant’s doorway and your glasses will immediately become windows to the Internet, offering you full details of the meals served inside．The glasses could also be used to help people make speeches, give chefs access to the latest recipes and even provide doctors with

patient information while they carry out operations．

       At the moment, Steven's invention looks more like a large ski mask than a pair of glasses．

       It's a headset connected to a hand-held computer and a Global Positioning  System  （ GPS ） receiver, which tracks the wearer's position．But he says that these head-worn displays will eventually get smaller and lighter as technology improves．

       And, of course, this new technology has a fashionable as well as a useful application．A chemical engineer named Roben Langer has invented a new microchip that, if put inside a ring, can give off different smells according to a person's mood．That, of course, may or may not appeal to you．And, in the end , it is  shoppers ．not scientists , who will determine which of these smart accessories will succeed as fashionable items and which are sure to join history's long list of crazy inventions．

       It is clear, however ,that as computers get smaller and cheaper．Lhcy will pop up in all sorts of easily-wearable accessories ．even in the buttons on your coat．What’s marc, this is something that's going to happen a lot sooner than we all expect．

One of the main challenges facing many countries is how to maintain their identity in the face of globalization and the growing multi-language trend．“One of the main reasons for economic failure in many African countries is the fact that, with a few important exceptions, mother-tongue education is not practiced in any of the independent African states．"said Neville Alexander．Dutctor of the Project for the Study of Aitemative Education in South Africa at the  University of Cape Town．

       In response to the spread of English and  the increased  multi-language trends arising from Immigration．many countries have introduced language laws in the laws in the last decade．In some ,the use of languages other than the national language is banned in public spaces such as advertising  posters． One of the first such legal provisions was the  1994  " Toubon law'  in France．but the idea has been copied in many counties since then．Such efforts to govern language use are often dismissed as futile by language experts．Who are well aware of the difficulty of controlling fashions in speech and know from research that language switching among bilinguals is a natural process．

       It is especially difficult for native speakers of English to understand the desire to maintain the 'purity" of a language by law．Since the time of Shakespeare．English has continually absorbed foreign words into its own language．English is one of the most mixed and rapidly changing languages in the world．But the has not been a barrier to acquiring prestige and power．Another reason for the failure of many native English speakers to understand the role of state regulation is that it bas never been the Aryllo-Saxon way of doing things．English has never had a state-controlled authority for the language,  similar, for example, to the Academie Francaise in France．

       The need to protect national languages is for most western Europeans, a recent phenomenon- especially the need to ensure that English does not unnecessarily take over too many fields．

       Public communication, educator and new modes of communication promoted by technology, may be key fields to defend．

1．Neville Alexander believes that          ．

       A．mother-tongue education is not practiced in all African countries

       B．lack of mother-tongue education can lead to economic failure

       C．globalization has led to  the rise of multi-language trends

       D．globalization has resulted in the economic failure of Africa

2．The underlined word " futile"   （in paragraph 2）  most probably means "     "      A．useless     B．practice                                     C．workable         D．unnecessary

3．Why do many English-speaking; countries not support the language protection efforts described in the passage?

       A．They think language protection laws are ineffective．

       B．They want their language to spread to other countries．

       C．They have a long history of taking words from other languages．

       D．It reduces a language's ability to acquire international importance．

4．What can we infer from the last paragraph?

       A．English has taken over fields like public communication and education．

       B．Europeans have long realized the need to protect their national Languages．

       C．Most language experts believe it is important to promote a national language．

       D．Many aspects of national culture are threatened by the spread of English．

5．The best title for the passage is       ．

       A．Fighting against the rule of English

       B．Globalization and multi-language trends

       C．Protecting local languages and identities

       D．to maintain the purity of language by law

Everyone gathered around and Paddy read out loud, slowly, his tone growing sadder and sadder．The little headline said: BOXER RECEIVFS LIFF SENTENCE．

       Frank Cleary．a(chǎn)ged 26,professional boxer．was today found guilty of the murder of Albert  Cumming．a(chǎn)ged 32,laborer ,last July．The jury （陪審團(tuán)）reached its decision after only ten minutes, recommending the most sever punishment the court could give out．It was, said the judge, a simple case．Cumming and Cleary had quarreled violently at the Harbor Hotel on July 23rd and police saw Cleary kicking at the head of the unconscious chumming．When arrested Cleary was drunk but clear-thinking…

       Cleary was sentenced to life imprisonment with hard lab our．Asked if he had anything to say , Cleary answered，“Just don't tell my mother．”

       "It happened over three years ago, " Paddy said helplessly．No one answered him or moved．for no one knew  what to do．"Jus  don't tell my mother．said Fee numbly．"And no one did! Oh. God! My poor, poor Frank!"

       Paddy wiped the tears from his face and said. 'Fee dear, pack your things. We'll go to see him.

       She half-rose before sinking back．her eyes in her small white face stared as if dead．"I can't  go ．" she said without a hint of pain．yet making everyone feel that the pain was there．"It would kill him to see me．I know him so well - his pride．his ambition．Let him bear the shame alone．it's what he wants． We've got to help him keep his secret． What good will it do him keep his secret what good will it do him to see us? "

       Paddy was still weeping．but not for Frank, for the life which had gone from Fee's face, for the dying in her eyes．Frank had always brought bitterness and misfortune ,always stood between Fee and himself． He was the cause of her withdrawal from his hart and the hearts of his children．

       Every time it looked as if there might be harpings for Fee．Frank took it away． But Paddy's love for her was as deep and impossible to wipe out as hers was for Flank．

       So he said．" Well, Fee, we won't go But we must make sure he is taken care of．How about if l write to Father Jones and ask him to look out for Frank?

       The eyes didn't liven. but a faint pink stole into her cheeks " Yes. Paddy．

       C．The jury and the judge disagreed on whether Frank had committed murder．

       D．Frank didn't want his family to find out what happened because Paddy disliked him．

       A．Frank did kill someone and deserved the punishment

       B．Frank should have told Face what had happened

       C．what had happened to Frank was killing Fee

       D．Frank had always been a man of bad moral character

       A．" Her eyes in her small white face stared as if dead．"

       B．" Let him bear the shame alone．its what he wants．"

       C．" Every time it looked as if there mille be happiness for Fee , Frank took it away "

       D．" The eyes didn't liven but a faint pink stole into her cheeks "

       We all know the story of "The tortoise and the hare"．The hare lost because he was overconfident．So slow­-and-steady wins the race．but did you know the tortoise and hare raced three more times? After his loss the hare challenged the tortoise to a second race and this time was without stopping from start to finish．There was no doubt that he won．The lesson this time was that fast-and-consistent beats slow-and-steady．then the tortoise challenged the hare to a third race．over a slightly different route．The hare ran at top speed until he reached a broad river．Although the finishing line was just a kilometer past the river the hare had no way of crossing and once more the slow-and-steady swimming tortoise came out on tip．

       The hare and the tortoise, by this time, had become good friends．They realized they could perform better together than separately．So they decided to have one more race．But this time they would work as a team．They started off．a(chǎn)nd this time the hare carried the tortoise till the  riverbank．There, the tortoise took over and swam across the river with the hare on his hack．On the opposite bank．the hare again camped the tortoise and they reached the finishing line together, much more quickly than they had been able to alone They both felt a greater sense of Satisfaction than they'd felt earlier．
