Passage 2
Dear Linda,
I have been in England three months now. I hope you don"t think I"ve forgotten you. There have been so many places to see and so many things to do that I"ve not had much time for writing letters.
I shall soon be starting my studies at King"s College. So far I"ve been learning about England and British ways of living. I won"t tell you about London. There are plenty of books you can read and plenty of pictures you can look at. I"m sure you"ll be more interested to know what I think about the life here.
I find some of the customs (风俗) new and interesting. People here do not shake hands as much as we do in Europe. During the first few weeks I was often surprised because people did not put out their hands when I met them. Men raise their hats to women but not to each other.
Yours,
Alice

Passage 4
From the world’s heaviest apple, the oldest lady to the world’s smallest dog, these are all parts of a group of the world’s strangest people and things. And they are all in the Guinness Book of Records(《吉尼斯记录》).
The book is going to celebrate its birthday this August. It began exactly half a century ago. And it’s always one of the best selling books in the world.
People now can break over 1000 records every week! Why do so many people want to break the records? Do they want their names in the book or meet more people around the world? “It gives people a chance to show they’re the best in the world.” said one of the record keepers Stewart Newport.
The book was started by Hugh Beaver from Britain. In 1951, he went shooting birds and talked with his friends about the fastest bird in Europe. Three years later, they were still talking about it. So Beaver believed that people must have different ideas. So, he decided to start a book to record the world’s truly greatest people and things in it!
The newest book came out last Tuesday. This book has a lot of interesting records. Here are two:
☆ A British dog, Whitney, is the world’s smallest dog. It’s only 76mm tall.
☆ An American woman Lee Redmond has the longest fingernails(指甲).They grew as long as 600 mm! She made the record in 1971.

A.their names be kept in the world records.

The building is shaking. A woman with a baby in her arms is trying to open the door, but fails. Finding no way, she rushes into her bedroom and there they survive the earthquake.
In a factory building, as the workshop floor swings under the terrible shaking, workers run for safety. Some hide(隐藏) under the machines and survive , but others who try to run outside are killed by the falling ceilings.
These scenes, played by actors and actresses, are from a film of science education 《Making a Split Second Decision》 shown in 1998 on China Central TV in memory of Tangshan Earthquake.
By studying actual cases in the earthquake areas and scientific experiments, experts(专家)find that buildings remain untouched for the first 12 seconds of an earthquake.
In this short time, one has the best chance of surviving an earthquake by staying near the inside walls, in bedrooms and under beds, experts concluded in the film. “Earthquakes seem to catch the lives of those who run,” said many survivors in the earthquake areas, describing how their friends were killed on the doorways or along the stair steps as they tried to get out of the building.
Their advice was proved in the film, “Take a hiding-place where you are rather than run, unless you are sure you can reach a safe open place in ten seconds.”
小题1:The word “survive” appears in the passage several times. It probably means    in Chinese.
A.遇难B.幸存C.恐惧D.摇晃 
小题2:The workers who tried to run outside the building died because      .
A.the factory building was shaking terribly
B.they were making a film
C.they didn’t have enough time to run outside
D.they were too nervous
小题3:The passage suggests that you should      when an earthquake happens.
A.cry for help
B.not move and lie on the floor at once
C.run down the steps as fast as you can
D.find a safe place and hide in at once or run out in ten seconds
小题4:Where can we probably find this passage?
A.In a magazine.B.In an advertisement.
C.In a history book.D.In a poster

Everyone has got two personalities — the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real. You don"t show your secret personality when you"re awake because you can control yourself, but when you"re asleep, your sleeping positionshows the real you. In a normal night, of course, you often change your sleeping positions(姿势). The important position that best shows your secret personality is the one that you go to sleep.
If you go to sleep on your back, you"re a very open person. You normally trust(信任) people and you are easily influenced by new ideas. You don"t like to make people unhappy, so you never express your real feelings. You"re quite shy and you aren"t very confident.
If you sleep on your stomach, you are a person who likes to keep secrets. You worry a lot and you"re always easily becoming sad. You never want to change your ideas, but you are satisfied with your life the way it is. You usually live for today not for tomorrow.
If you sleep on curled up (蜷缩), you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and often protect yourself from being hurt, so you are very defensive. You"re shy and you don"t usually like meeting people. You like to be on your own.
If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balanced personality. You know your strength and weakness. You"re usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel worried, but you don"t often get unhappy. You always say what you think, even if it makes people angry.
