grow. "We needed furniture for our living room," says John Ross, "and we just didn"t have enough money to
buy it. So we decided to try making a few tables and chairs." John got married six months ago, and like many
young people these days, they are struggling to make a home at a time when the cost of living is very high.
The Rosses took a 2-week course for $ 280 at a night school. Now they build all their furniture and make
repairs around the house.

factory. Last month, he received a car repair bill for $ 420. "I was deeply upset about it. Now I"ve finished a
car repair course, I should be able to fix the car by myself."
John and Jim are not unusual people. Most families in the country are doing everything they can to save
money so they can fight the high cost of living. If you want to become a "do-it-yourselfer", you can go to
DIY classes. And for those who don"t have time to take a course, there are books that tell you how you can

Brunei. Brunei is a tiny nation on the northwest coast of Borneo in Southeast Asia. It has been among the
richest countries in the world since oil was discovered there in 1929.
Sultan of Brunei, the nation"s leader, inherited (继承) $40 billion from his father in 1967. At that time,
he was reported to have more wealth than anyone else .By 2000, however, Sultan was estimated to be
worth only $10 billion.
Much of the money has been used to help the people of Brunei, by providing them with free or cheap
public services, The 300000 people of that nation today enjoy free health care, education, and even a free
amusement park like Disneyland. People living in remote villages in the southwest of the country can get
free health care from the nation"s Flying Medical Services.
The money made from the oil industry has also helped the Sultan develop advanced airports and shipping
ports. The main seaport of Muara, which is about 28 kilometers to the northeast of the capital city Bandar
Seri Begawan, can take up to 7 or 8 ships at the same time. Since 1974,Brunei has also had its own airline,
Royal Brunei Airlines.

it passed by him slowly. Suddenly the bike turned round and Mr. Rady, feeling dangerous, tried to drive off.
Before he could, a man on the back of the bike took out a gun from his jacket and fired. The bullet went
through the windscreen and just missed him. As he sped away another shot was fired, but missed the car.
Mr. Rady was a interpreter for British army in Iraq. As such, his life is in danger from the militia that once
controlled the Iraqi city and is now returning.
More than a year ago Iraqi soldiers, backed by US, brought peace and stability to Basra by driving militants
over the Iranian border in an operation called Charge of the Knights.
According to local estimates, however, about half have returned. Although they have not become as active
as before, the militants are trying to shoot Iraqi citizens who worked with British. Most in danger are
translators such as Mr. Rady.
The 31-year-old father worked with soldiers on dangerous missions but was refused resettlement in Britain
at the end of his employment. He worked with nine translators. Seven of them have been killed.
"I"m like a cancer patient-now that the militia is back, my family is just waiting for me to die," Mr. Rady
said. "I see reports in the media that Basra is safe but it"s not true. I know these militia people. I went to
school with some of them. I didn"t see them for a year but now they are around again. They have told me,
"Your day will come soon"." He takes security precautions and never follows a routine. This means that he
cannot work because that would give the militants a better chance of success.
Militiamen belonging to the alMahdi Army took control of Basra between 2004 and 2007 with other Shia
fighters. They enforced strict Islamic rules at the same time as running criminal rackets. British army was
unable or unwilling to fight back and eventually went back to their base at the airport.
B. a car driver
C. an Iraqi
D. a British soldier
B. Mr. Bassam Rady didn"t feel the danger from the two motorbike riders until he was shot at.
C. Most translators like Mr. Rady have to face danger from militants every day.
D. The militants were so strong that British soldiers were unable to fight back.
A. happy
B. tiring
C. busy
D. dangerous
B. a newspaper
C. a history book
D. an advertisement
they buy clothes for their online characters or services for their online pets with it. And these fancy things
will cost QQ fans more in the future.
The government will put a tax (税) of 3% on online sales. For example, if QQ users pay 100 yuan for
110 QQ coins, they will have to spend 103 yuan in the future. The extra three yuan is tax.
Beijing was the first city to carry out the policy (政策). Online games have to pay the tax, too. A number
of players make money by spending a lot of time on the games to gain (获得) powers, and then selling them
online.
Experts said that online trade grew fast. There is more than 10 billion yuan of real money in online trade
a year in China.
However, the government"s new move has become a hot topic among Internet users around the country.
In a survey by sina.com, more than 70% of about 3,000 surveyed were against it. They said that the tax is
too heavy.
But supporters said the government"s better management (管理) of the Internet would help it become
healthier. They believe the new move would help stop online identity (身份) theft.
B. a kind of Web money
C. some fancy clothes
D. some online pets
B. 10%
C. 11%
D. 15%
B. Beijing.
C. Guangzhou.
D. Shenyang.
B. 搬家
C. 措施
D. 迁移
B. many Internet users think the tax is too heavy
C. only 20% of about 3,000 Internet users are against this policy
D. the new move will cause online identity theft
breath. To fly over the channel takes only twenty minutes as long as you"re not held up at the airport, but
it"s an expensive way to travel. You can travel by hovercraft (气垫船) if you don"t mind the noise and that
takes forty minutes. Otherwise, you can go by boat, if you remember your sea-sickness pills. All these means
of transport have their problems, and the weary (厌烦的) traveler often dreams of being able to drive to
France in his own car. "Not possible, you say. Well, wait a minute. People are once again considering the
idea of a channel tunnel or bridge." This time, the great London Council (议会) is looking into the possibility
of building a channel link straight to London. A bridge would cost far more than a tunnel, but you would be
able to by rail or by car on a bridge, yet a tunnel would provide a rail link only.
Why is this idea being discussed again? Is Britain realizing the need for links with Europe as a result of
joining EEC (欧洲经济共同体)? Well, perhaps, the main reason, though, is that a tunnel or bridge would
reach the twenty square kilometers of London"s discussed dockland (船坞). A link from London to the
continent would stimulate (刺激) trade and revitalize (使重新具有活力) the port, and would make London
a main trading center in Europe. With a link over the Channel, you could buy your fish and chips in England
and be able to eat them in France while they are still warm!
B. in his own car
C. by air
D. by hovercraft
B. important for its politics
C. useful for its industry
D. helpful for its culture
B. when to cross the Channel
C. how to get to Europe from London more conveniently
D. what to do in the developing of traveling

The tsunami (海啸) which hit twelve South-east Asian countries on 26 December 2004 was a great disaster.
More than 200,000 people died in the tsunami. Not only did people living in Thailand, Indonesia and Sri Lanka
die, but many European tourists who were on holiday in these countries also died. Now, we are just beginning
to understand how much damage was caused to the environment and to the economy.
The biggest problem after the tsunami has been illnesses which have spread to many people. These illnesses
are mostly caused by a lack of clean drinking water. People are drinking dirty water because there is no other
water available. This dirty water is making them sick. Also, the hospitals in these poor countries are not big
enough to deal with all the people who were hurt in the tsunami.
Many people who live in the areas hit by the tsunami are farmers and fishermen. The tsunami destroyed
their homes, their fields and their boats. The salt water from the ocean covered the farmers" fields, so they can
no longer grow food. Also, fishermen are finding that there are fewer fish in the ocean. Now, these people,
who were already quite poor, have no way to earn money. No one knows how long it will take for the fish to
return, or for the farmers to be able to grow food again. Tourism is also very important in these areas, but
many famous tourist areas are destroyed during the tsunami.
The whole world is helping these countries recover from the tsunami. Many governments have given aid
money. UNICEF, the United Nations Children"s Fund, has set up 200 places where people can get help. It has
also provided clean drinking water. One organization called Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors without Borders)
has sent many doctors to care for sick people. In Indonesia, some government officials think that some villages
should be moved away from the ocean, and that farmers should learn how to grow different types of food.
No one knows how much money or how much time it will take for this area to recover completely. However,
with the help and aid that is being sent to the affected areas, hopefully it won"t take long.
