One Saturday afternoon, my daughter Alice asked me, “Are all people the same even if they are different in color?”
I thought for a minute, and then I said, “I’ll explain, 41 you can just wait until we make a quick 42 at the grocery store. I have something 43 to show you. ”
At the grocery store, we 44 some apples --- red, green and yellow ones. Back home, I told Alice, “It’s time to 45 your question.” I put one apple of each 46 on the table. Then I looked at Alice, who had a 47 look on her face.
“People are like apples. They come in all 48 colors, shapes and sizes. On the 49 , some of the apples may not 50 look as the others. ” As I was talking, Alice was 51 each one carefully.
Then, I took each of the apples and peeled(削皮)them, 52 them back on the table, but 53 a different place.
“Okay, Alice, tell me which is which.”
She said, “I 54 tell. They all look the same now. ” “Take a bite of 55 . See if that helps you 56 which one is which. ”
She took 57 , and then a huge smile came across her face. “People are 58 like apples! They are all different, but once you _ 59 the outside, they’re pretty much the same on the inside. ”
She totally 60 it. I didn’t need to say or do anything else.

举一反三
Young British people find the US accent attractive while young US people like a British accent. Especially when the person speaking is of the opposite sex! Let’s listen to what they have to say.
Stephen Yang, 17, from London, UK
A US accent is cute, especially when a girl speaks it. Whether it’s Jessia Alba speaking or the girl- next-door, the way US girls speak has a sweet tingle that is really sassy(时髦). A girl from Texas recently moved into our neighborhood. Her Texan twang(鼻音) had all the boys here on their knees within seconds of meeting her.
To me, accents reflect the attitudes, characteristics and lifestyles of the people.
Jennifer Sun, 16, from New Jersey, US
From watching English actors like Daniel Radcliffe, my friends and I have developed a soft spot for British men. Some are attracted to the qualities of English males, while others admire their sense of style.
Everyone, however, agrees that the most appealing aspect of an English man is his accent. For example, many American girls watch Harry Potter movies over and over again just to listen to the actors speak.
The English accent seems almost like art.
小题1:In Stephen Yang’s opinion, accents just show__________.
A.the beauty of the language | B.how the language is spoken |
C.the cultural differences of the speakers | D.the fashion of the day |
A.strange | B.exciting | C.attractive | D.fashionable |
A.learn the acting skills of the these stars |
B.learn the magic performed by Harry Potter |
C.imitate the actors’ accents |
D.know more about British English |
A.British English and American English |
B.British Accent or American Accent |
C.American English Accent is Most Accepted |
D.The difference between British Accent and American Accent. |
For several years, this group had been trying to get the city government to help bike riders. For example, they want the city to draw special lanes(车道) for bikes on some of the main streets, because when bike riders must use the same lanes as cars there are accidents. Bike for a Better City feels that if there were special lanes, more people would use bikes.
But no bike lanes have been drawn. Not everyone thinks it is a good idea—they say it will slow traffic. Some store owners on the main streets don’t like the idea—they say that if there is less traffic, they will have less business.
The city government has not yet decided what to do. It wants to keep everyone happy. On weekends, Central Park—the largest place open ground in New York— is closed to cars, and the roads may be used by bikes only.
小题1:In New York, a group of bike riders__________.
A.are keeping practicing for health |
B.have no cars of their own |
C.are complaining there are not enough buses |
D.are trying to settle the problem of air pollution |
A.bikes should be used instead of cars | B.bike lanes should be drawn |
C.fewer buses or cars should be used | D.the number of special lanes should be decreased |
A.they will make cars and buses run slowly |
B.they will make it easier for bike riders to go to parks |
C.they will make the city more beautiful |
D.they will prevent accidents |
Ten years ago, this thought came into the mind of Arian de Bondt, a Dutch engineer.He finally persuaded his boss to follow it up.The result is that their building is now heated in winter and cooled in summer by a system that relies on the surface of the road outside.
The heat-collector is a system of connected water pipes.Most of them run from one side of the street to the other, just under the asphalt road.Some, however, dive deep into the ground.
When the street surface gets hot in summer, water pumped through the pipes picks up this heat and takes it underground through one of the diving pipes.At a depth of 100 meters lies a natural aquifer (蓄水层) into which several heat exchangers (交换器) have been built.The hot water from the street runs through these exchangers, warming the ground-water, before returning to the surface through another pipe.The aquifer is thus used as a heat store.
In winter, the working system is changed slightly.Water is pumped through the heat exchangers to pick up the heat stored during summer.This water goes into the building and is used to warm the place up.After performing that task, it is pumped under the asphalt and its remaining heat keeps the road free of snow and ice.
小题1:Which of the following is true according to the first two paragraphs?
A.Arian de Bondt got his idea from his boss. |
B.Large, flat, black surfaces need to be built in cities. |
C.The Dutch engineer"s system has been widely used. |
D.Heat can also be collected from asphalt roads. |
A.To absorb heat from the sun. | B.To store heat for future use. |
C.To turn solar energy into heat energy. | D.To carry heat down below the surface. |
A.some pipes have to be re-arranged in winter |
B.the system can do more than warming up the building |
C.the exchangers will pick up heat from the street surface |
D.less heat may be collected in winter than in summer |
A.What we shall do if the system goes wrong. |
B.What we shall do if there are no asphalt roads. |
C.How the system cools the building in summer. |
D.How the system collects heat in spring and autumn. |
The idea that popularity could have a serious impact on one’s earning potential shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise. The researchers noted that if you want to get ahead in life, social skills and networking are easily as powerful as talent and hard work.
“If a person has lots of friends, it means that he or she has the ability to get along with others in all kinds of different situations,” said Xu Yanchun, 17, from Nantou High School in Shenzhen, who totally agreed with the recent finding. “Also, friends always help each other. They not only create wider social circles for you but lift your mood when you occasionally feel depressed,” said Xu. She believed that all this helps you “earn a higher salary”.
Maybe that’s why some people think the younger generations are in the age of Friendalholism(交友狂症). A woman even complained that the networking website Facebook’s 5,000-friend limit was too low for her large reserve of social contacts.
But what does a friend mean? Should friends be regarded as a form of currency?
“Call me uncool, but I think of a friend as an actual person with whom I have an actual history and whom I enjoy actually seeing. It seems, however, that this is no longer the definition of ‘friend’,” said Meghan Daum, who works with the Los Angeles Times in the US.
小题1:The new study from the University of Essex in Britain shows that _______.
A.if you have more friends you will not live happily |
B.the more friends you have in school, the more money you’ll earn in your late life |
C.the less friends you have, the poor lives you will live |
D.friends can make more money for you |
A.you have the ability to earn more money |
B.you will not feel lonely |
C.you are quite content with your life |
D.you have the ability to get along with others in various situations |
A.The passage mainly tells us something about the friendship. |
B.Friendship plays a more important part in our daily life than anything else. |
C.Friends are currency. |
D.Friends give you success. |
A.if you have more friends, you can make a fortune in the future |
B.graduating from college means that you can make a fortune in the future |
C.friends mean a form of currency |
D.friends can make you wider social circle and make you feel better when you feel depressed |
Spirit landed on Mars on January 4, 2004. Three weeks later, Opportunity arrived. Soon after, the rovers went to the opposite side of Mars. Spirit’s original mission was only designed to last for three months, but Spirit has worked for more than five years doing additional missions. Both rovers have made important discoveries about ancient Mars. They have taken thousands of images and found evidence in the rocks of a water, warmer past in Mars’ history.
Spirit is solar-powered. It got stuck in a sand trap in April 2009, trapped deep into the soil and with its wheels turning around and around but not able to move forwards or backwards. Spirit had to agree that there is nothing that can be done to change the situation—it’s never going to move again. However, even if it is a not moving station, it can still study the planet’s atmosphere and deep interior.
NASA has been concentrating on trying to position its solar panels to get as much energy from the sun as possible, or to get the rover leaning in a manner that will allow the most amount of sunlight falling on its solar panels, in order to keep it alive during the coming winter months. Engineers have planned to rock the vehicle back and forth to acquire a more favorable position. However, no matter how many efforts have been made, Spirit still could not get out of the soft soil and could not lean itself toward the sun as the Martian winter approached. Without enough energy reaching its solar panels and with so little energy in its batteries, it went into hibernation, just like a polar bear, and has not communicated with Earth since March 22, 2010.
Whatever the future holds for Spirit, its mission has been an outstanding success. When it landed on the Red Planet in January 2004, no one was really sure how long it would continue working in the cold and dusty environment. As a matter of fact, three months was its original goal.
After so many fruitless efforts, NASA scientists are losing hope of ever reconnecting with Spirit, but they will give it one more try. Ground controllers are contacting Spirit over a range of frequencies and at different times during the day in case its internal clock stopped working and it lost track of time. They also are commanding the rover to turn on its backup radio transmitter in case the main one is dead.
If this final effort to connect isn’t successful, NASA will shift the focus to its twin robot, Opportunity, which is in a different part of Mars. Opportunity is still on the move and continues to travel freely to this day. It has traveled 16.6 miles so far, and is currently rolling towards another crater it has yet to explore.
NASA has spent more than $900 million on the project but shows no sign of giving up on these determined and hard-working robots. The rovers are, though, experiencing gradual wear and tear, the expected damage to something caused by using it repeatedly over a period of time. Even before Spirit got trapped, one of its wheels had failed. And NASA says it’s just a matter of time before both robots break down completely.

A.It had explored Mars several times. |
B.Its original mission was to work for five years. |
C.It landed on Mars three weeks later than Opportunity. |
D. It discovered that Mars was once a warm and wetter place. |
A.Try to lean Spirit to make it get as much sunlight as possible. |
B.Rock Spirit back and forth to make it acquire a more favorable position. |
C.Make efforts to help Spirit get out of the soft soil where it is stuck. |
D.Contact and order Spirit to turn on its backup radio transmitter. |
A.it didn’t have enough energy | B.it had finished its task |
C.something was wrong with its wheels | D.it met an unidentified creature |
A.NASA will move the center of Spirit out of the sand |
B.NASA will depend on Opportunity to do the exploration |
C.NASA will do nothing but wait for some opportunity |
D.NASA will make opportunity help Spirit |
A.NASA has planned to spend more money on Spirit |
B.Spirit will be brought back to Earth |
C.Spirit will stop operating totally in the future |
D.Spirit will cause damage to Mars |

B.Spirit has made many important discoveries on Mars. |
C.How Spirit got stuck and couldn’t move on Mars. |
D.Why NASA tried many ways to contact Spirit. |
