In the north of Scotland there is a lake called Loch Ness. It is the biggest 36 in Britain. It is over thirty kilometers 37 and in some places nearly 300 meters deep . It is cold and dark and not many people went there until after 1930. Then a road was made 38 the lake.
Holiday makers began to use the road, and this was when the 39 began. Someone said that he had seen a monster(怪兽) in the lake. He said it was twelve meters long. It had a long 40 and a small head. Then someone else said he had seen 41 . Others said the same thing and in 1933 a London doctor took a 42 . It 43 like a monster with a long neck and a thick body but the photo was not too 44 . The newspapers printed the picture and 45 it the Loch Ness monster, or "Nessie".
Then the argument(争论) began. 46 people, however, were certain there was something living in the lake. Others said there was 47 there.
In 1961, a lot of people joined together to make a real 48 to see and photograph the monster to find 49 there was one! Several times people thought they saw something but after ten years there was 50 no real proof (证据).
Later underwater television cameras were used, but 51 found any real proof. However, they 52 find something interesting: a huge underwater cave. It was big enough to be 53 of a monster, but of course, this was not a proof.
In 1975, however, some American scientists 54 a search group. They used an underwater camera. It took pictures every seventy seconds. Some of the pictures seemed to show a red-brown creature. Its body was about four meters long 55 had a very ugly head on the end of a four -meter neck. Many people then began to believe in the monster. But even today we can"t be certain.

举一反三
Twenty states have raised the legal drinking age to 21, reversing a trend in the 1960s to reduce it to 18. After New Jersey lowered it to 18, the number of people killed by 18-20 years old drivers more than doubled, so the state recently upped it back to 21.
Reformers, however, fear raising the drinking age will have little effect unless accompanied by educational programs to help young people to develop “responsible attitudes” about drinking and teach them to resist peer pressure to drink.
Though new laws have led to increased arrests and tests in many areas already, to a marked decline in accidents, some states are also punishing bars for serving customers too many drinks. A bar in Massachusetts was fined for serving six or more double brandies to a customer who was “obviously drunk” and later drove off the road, killing a 9-year-old boy.
As the accidents continue to occur daily in every state, some Americans are even beginning to speak well of the 13 years national prohibition of alcohol that began in 1919, which President Hoover called the “noble experiment”. They forgot that legal prohibition didn’t stop drinking, but encouraged political corruption(腐败) and organized crime. As with the booming drug trade generally, there is no easy solution.
小题1:What can be inferred from the fact of the traffic accidents in New Jersey?
A.many drivers were not of legal age. |
B.young drivers were often bad drivers. |
C.Drivers should not be allowed to drink. |
D.the legal drinking age should be raised. |
A.serious | B.cruel | C.merciful | D.determined |
A.judges are giving more severe sentences |
B.new laws are introduced in some states |
C.the news media have highlighted the problem |
D.drivers are more conscious of their image |
A.Because alcohol is easily obtained. |
B.Because drinking is linked to organized crime. |
C.Because legal prohibition has already failed. |
D.Because making laws alone is not sufficient. |
The Human Science and Advanced Technology Institute at Loughborough in the UK is part of an international research program. The team there believes that by 2020 all cars will be computerized, which will mean extremely large fuel savings, no accidents and better use of roads. The super-intelligent car of the 21st century will drive itself and it will not be owned by on individual. Instead, we will have a choice of cars and change them as frequently as we change our clothing.
According to Dr. David Davis, who leads the research team, these predictions are based on the rising cost of the car culture ,which had blocked up our cities, polluted our air and caused more deaths than both world wars put together.
Davis says cars will be fitted with intelligent cruise control devices to regulate the distance between one car and another. Brakes and accelerators (加速器) will become redundant(多余的) because the car will automatically speed up or slow down to match the speed of the car in front. Computers are much safer drivers than people, so cars in a road train will be able to drive much closer together than cars driven by people.
By 2010 Dr. David Davis believes car technology will give motorists a clear view of the road whatever the weather conditions by projecting an image of the road ahead onto the car’s windscreen. And by 2020 cars will travel in convoy linked to each other electronically. Cars will be connected by an electronic tow(牵引) bar to the car in front to form “road-trains”. “The front vehicle in such a train burns the ordinary fuel” says Davis. “But all the others in the train would burn about ten percent of the normal amount and so produce about ten percent of the pollution.
小题1:We know from the passage that governments and car manufactures ________.
A.don’t believe the prediction that no one will own cars by 2020. |
B.are devoted to the technological innovation (创新) in car industry. |
C.consider the predictions made by the researchers seriously. |
D.have put the super-intelligent car into mass production. |
A.There will be no brake and accelerator in cars. |
B.We will own as many cars as we want . |
C.All cars will be driven by computers. |
D.Car accident will no longer happen. |
A.in line | B.sidelong | C.side by side | D.next to one another |
A.Motorists will get a clear view of the road. |
B.The weather conditions won’t have effect on motorists. |
C.There will be a decrease in the pollution caused by car . |
D.All trains will burn less fuel than present. |

The idea of shame, usually expressed as "face" could be loosely defined as the "status" or "self-respect" in Chinese and by no means alien to foreigners. It is the worst thing for a Chinese to lose face. Never insult, embarrass, shame, yell at or otherwise demean a person. Since all these actions would risk putting a Chinese in a situation that he might lose face, neither try to prove someone wrong nor shout at him in public. In order to get a successful effect without letting a Chinese lose face, any criticism should be delivered privately, carefully, or else, just opposite to what you wish.
Guanxi
Throughout much of Chinese history, the fundamental glue that has held society together is the concept of guanxi, relationships between people. It is very important for the Chinese to have good relationships. They often regard good social relations as a symbol of personal ability and influence. Someone who has no connections would be disrespected and is only half-Chinese.
Keqi
Keqi not only means considerate, polite, and well mannered, but also represents respect and modesty. It is impolite to talk too proudly about oneself or one"s inner circle. The expression is most often used in the negative, as in buyao keqi, meaning "you shouldn"t be so kind and polite to me," or "you"re welcome."
Besides, Chinese seldom express what they think directly and they prefer a roundabout way. Neither show their emotions and feelings in public. They rarely greet people with a handshake, though it is very popular among foreigners, and say nothing of embracing or kissing when greeting or saying good-bye. Consequently, it is better not to behave too carefree in public, even though you are well-intentioned. Also, it is advisable to be fairly cautious in political discussions. Do not particularly push yourself forward, or else you are unwelcome.
To sum up, do in Rome as Rome does, but you need not worry about these cultural barriers since most Chinese are hospitable and friendly and will not mind your no accomplishment.
小题1:In most Chinese’s eyes, the fundamental glue holding society together is the idea of ____.
A.relationships between people | B.influences upon others |
C.dependence on others | D.kindness to others |
A.respectful | B.happy | C.shameful | D.weak |
A.It is impolite to insult, embarrass, shame or shout at a person. |
B.It is polite that you should bring gifts to others when invited to dinner. |
C.It is necessary to show your character of being considerate, polite, and well mannered. |
D.It is important for the Chinese to have good relationships between people. |
A.Caution is the parent of safety. | B.Many hands make light work. |
C.There’s no smoke without fire. | D.If you are elsewhere, live as they do there. |
The class of seven-year-olds at Blackshaw Lane Primary School, Royton, Greater Manchester burst into tears and told their parents when they arrived home. Mothers and fathers then complained about the incident and were sent a letter by the school saying the teacher, who only worked at the school for one day last week, has been punished.
The school has now said it will not hire her again.
One father said, "My son came home and said that his teacher had told the class that Santa doesn"t exist and it’s their mum and dad that put out presents for them. Obviously, they were all talking about Christmas and being a bit rowdy. She just came straight out with it. "
"My son was in tears and so was everyone else in the class — especially as it was so close to Christmas. I thought it was wrong. He was crazy about it. He’s only seven-year-old and it"s part of the magic of Christmas to him. "
"We told him that she did not believe in Father Christmas because of her religion and he"s fine now."
"The father described the incident as " shocking" and believed it was done with malicious intent (恶意地). A lot of parents were angry and complained to the school. The teacher, who was supplied by Rochdale and Oldham Supply Agency, is still listed and will work with other schools," the agency said.
However, the head teacher in Angela McCormick refused to comment on the incident.

A survey released on Thursday found that 56 percent of Americans say it is irresponsible to be friends with a boss and 62 percent say it is wrong to be friends with an employee. But 76 percent believe it is acceptable to be friends with a workplace peer,according to the survey of 1,000 people by Liberty Mutual’s Responsibility Project.
"When the roles change what do you do then? Do you unfriend someone if they have now been promoted to be your boss or if you’re now their boss,”said researcher Kelly Holland. "We get into some really sticky situations there in terms of what people will think is responsible,”she said.
When using social media at work,73 percent say it is not appropriate to update your Facebook status,82 percent say you should not upload photos,72 percent believe tweeting is wrong and 79 percent say it is not acceptable to watch online videos. Yet 66 percent say it is fine to check your personal email while at work.
“When people focus on responsibility,they know what the responsible thing is to do but whether they are doing that in practice or not is a different story,”said Holland.
Americans are split on whether companies should review the social media profiles of job candidates with 52 percent saying it is appropriate and 48 percent saying it is unacceptable. Social media can also lead to some difficult decisions when it comes to family and relationships. Sixty percent of those polled say that it is“completely acceptable" to unfriend an ex-boyfriend or ex-girlfriend. More than 40 percent of parents believe it is irresponsible to post photos of children online. Thirty one percent monitor their children"s Facebook accounts and almost 70 percent are friends with their children on Facebook or MySpace. But 72 percent limit the time their children spend on social media networks.
The poll was taken between January 12一15.
