close for an hour at lunchtime. On one or two days a week-usually Thursday and/or Friday-some large
food shops stay open until about 8:00 pm for late night shopping.
Many shops are closed in the afternoon on one day a week. The day is usually Wednesday or
Thursday and it is a different day in different towns.
Nearly all shops are closed on Sundays. Newspaper shops are open in the morning, and sell sweets
and cigarettes as well. But not all the things can be sold on Sundays.
Usually it is not difficult for foreign visitors to find where to buy things. Most shops sell the things that
you want to buy. One problem is stamps. In Britain you can only buy these at post offices. Many large
food shops are self-service. When you go into one of these shops, you take a basket and you put the
things you wish to buy into this. You pay for everything just before you leave. If anyone tries to take
things from a shop without paying, they are almost certain to be caught, because most shops have
detectives.
When you are waiting to be served in a shop, it is important not try to be served before people who
arrive before you. Many foreign people are surprised at the British way of queuing (排队).
B. five hours
C. ten hours
D. six hours
B. Many shops are closed in the afternoon once a week on Tuesday.
C. Only a few things can be bought on Sundays.
D. It is not difficult for foreign visitors to buy things in Britain.

C. stamps
D. clothes

cyber (网络的) time to the point where my family feels the need to comment on my presence at the
dinner table. With all these options and distractions (使人分心的事) it can be hard to spend quality
time with the people you love.
My Dad and I have always worked around this. Over years we"ve learned how to watch in silence
while enjoying each other"s company and by now we know what to comment on during the
commercials.
Once we were watching one of our favourite shows. At the commercial he turned to me and asked
if I liked going to school.
I thought about the question for a few moments before admitting that I did.
"Do you look forward to going?"
This question seemed easier to answer, but I thought it over.
"Not all the time. Sometimes, there are classes that I dread. But then there are people I want to
see or things I want to do, so I guess it evens out."
Dad nodded.
"You see these characters on the show? They like going to work. They look forward to it. They are
so idealistic that they go to work every day, believing they can change the world. That"s why we like to
watch them."
I thought about what he was saying.
"Do you look forward to going to work?" I asked.
Dad paused.
"I honestly don"t think about it. It"s not something I anticipate or dread. It"s just something that I
do. I always looked forward to going to school, though. I wanted to learn. Now that I think about it,
when I first started working I did look forward to it. That"s what"s important. Do something that you
enjoy doing. Do something that you will look forward to. Otherwise, what"s the point?"
Now I have learned that sometimes it"s not the length of the talk that"s important but what"s said
during the talk. It is still possible to have quality time during a commercial break.
B. belief
C. doubt
D. love
B. He has something important to do.
C. He loses interest in some classes.
D. He falls behind other classmates.
B. topic
C. lesson
D. goal
B. Children feel happy when talking with parents.
C. Parents and children can enjoy the same TV show.
D. Children are unwilling to stay with their parents.
live in two of the safest U.S. cities for children.
Both urban areas scored high marks in a study that assessed 50 of the largest U.S. cities on 25
safety criteria such as proximity(接近) of hospitals, bike helmet laws and how quickly local fire
departments respond to determine the safest cities for children.
"It"s clear that most cities are doing great things to improve safety at home and in the community,"
said Gus Schaefer of Underwriters Laboratories (UL), an independent safety certification provider that
conducted the research.
New York firefighters were the quickest to respond to emergencies, while Louisville pedestrians
(行人) were among the least likely to be in a traffic accident, according to the study.
Boston parents can breathe easy knowing they live in the city with the most hospitals per capita
(人均) and Portland, Oregon got honors for its low drowning rates and air quality.
Virginia Beach scored high marks because car passengers under the age of 18 have to wear
seatbelts, even if they are riding in the back seat.
Columbus, Minneapolis, San Francisco, Seattle and Tampa were also among the safest cities.
Although the study did not rank the cities, it showed that the vast majority have anti-smoking laws
and all have smoke alarm laws.
One area where there might still be room for improvement is bike helmet laws. Only 39 of the
largest urban areas have bike helmet laws.
But 47 out of 50 cities had some non-smoking laws and an equal number required CO alarms.
And all the cities insisted on inspections after construction or remodeling projects.
In addition to local and state laws to keep their children safe, UL said families can also take
measures to improve the safety of their children, including making sure television stands are well fixed
and having a fire escape plan.
B. the most popular U.S. cities
C. the safest U.S. cities for kids
D. the various laws in the U.S. cities
B. The air quality in New York remains stable.
C. Car passengers in New York have to wear seatbelts.
D. New York firefighters react quickly in emergencies.
B. Enjoy better health.
C. Do their jobs happily.
D. Breathe without difficulty.
B. bike helmet laws
C. traffic rules
D. families" fire escape plans
B. They all required factories to fix CO alarms.
C. Their hospitals provided high-quality service.
D. They had careful examinations of newly completed buildings.
send e-mail, represent a potential market for Apple (AAPL)"s iPad. The company has sold 3.27
million iPads since its launch in April, but doesn"t break down sales figures by customer age, making
it impossible to know with certainty how many old people are buying them. However, evidence
suggests it"s popular with the old.
The iPad"s intuitive interface (直观界面) makes it attractive to old citizens around the world, says
Takahiro Miura, a researcher at the University of Tokyo: "The iPad is a good tool for the elderly
because it"s very forgiving of mistakes." Miura"s team uses computers to help train senior citizens to
rejoin the workforce. "Unlike the PC, it doesn"t require previous(先前的) knowledge," he says.
James Cordwell, a technology analyst at Atlantic-Equities in London, says the iPad"s popularity
with the elderly is helping Apple reach beyond its traditional base of younger customer. "The world"s
population, especially in developed markets, is getting older, and it"s probably a market where Apple
has least entered," Cordwell says. Elderly users are "a key source of growth for them in the future."
The elderly in Japan, who make up an estimated 22 percent of the population, may prove particularly
quick to accept the iPad. They spend more than any other group in the country except for those under
30, according to a report by Japan"s Cabinet Office. Motoo Kitamura, 78, a former gas salesman,
bought an iPad to help him communicate with his 2-year-old grandson and prevent against dementia
(痴呆). "Trying new things like that is a good mental exercise," he says.
B. The use of iPad requires previous knowledge.
C. The use of iPad is mentally useful to the old.
D. Only the elderly in Japan can use iPad.
B. The iPad causes a heavy burden to the old.
C. The iPad is accepted by the old.
D. The old are very familiar with the iPad.
B. It is easier to operate.
C. It is more accessible to beginners.
D. It is a good mental exercise.
B. The iPad is traditionally accepted by the young.
C. The old in Japan are fond of latest hi-tech products.
D. The old customers will soon replace the younger ones.
B. Ipad Hits Japan"s Store Shelves
C. Ipad"s Arrival in Tokyo Causes Japanese to Excite
D. AAPL Tries to Balance the Old and the Yong
that are common for scientists. You might even be considering becoming one yourself.
[2]So now let"s get to the topic. What type of person should a scientist be? Don"t lose heart if you don"t
possess(拥有) all of these qualities, but having a few of them will be helpful.
[3]A scientist should be someone who enjoys research and studying. This makes up a large part of a
scientist"s work. Carrying out studies that will improve people"s everyday life is an exciting challenge.
Moreover, making the next scientific discovery is highly rewarding but it takes a lot of work and
preparation.
[4]If you come into contact with a scientist, one of the things you might notice is that they have an open
mind. They are flexible and open to new possibilities and there is a very good chance that they might live
their life in this way.
[5]Perseverance(毅力) is also a quality that is required for a scientist. Experiments don"t always go to
plan. Each experiment needs to be adapted slightly to try and encourage more favourable outcomes. A
scientist cannot give up at the first difficulty.
[6] , most scientists seem to show curiosity. They seek answers to many mind-puzzling life
questions. Their job is usually to ask how, what and why things happen and to provide theories that
demonstrate this.
1. What is the text mainly about? (no more than 10 words)
2. Complete the following statement with words from Paragraph 2. (no more than 5 words)
It doesn"t matter that you don"t have all the qualities because having only is beneficial.
3. How do scientists do their jobs? (no more than 15 words)
4. Please fill in the blank in Paragraph 6 with proper words. (no more than 3 words)
5. What does the word "This" (Line 1, Paragraph 3) probably refers to? (no more than 5 words)
Or perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit card purchases or cell phone bills to find
out your shopping preferences or calling habits.
In fact, it"s likely some of these things have already happened to you. Who would watch you without
your permission? It might be a girlfriend, a marketing company, a boss, a policeman or a criminal.
Whoever it is, they will see you in a way you never intended to be seen—the 21st century equal to being
caught naked(裸露的).
Psychologists tell us boundaries are healthy, though it"s important to reveal(透露) yourself to friends,
family and lovers in stages, at appropriate times. Actually few boundaries remain.
The digital breadcrumbs(面包屑) you leave everywhere make it easy for strangers to reconstruct
who you are, where you are and what you like. In some cases, a simple Google search can reveal what
you think, like it or not, increasingly we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret.
The key question is:Does that matter? For many Americans, the answer apparently is "no".
When opinion polls ask Americans about privacy, most say they are concerned about losing it. A survey
found a majority of people are pessimistic about privacy, with 60 percent of respondents saying they
feel their privacy is "slipping away, and that bothers me".
But people say one thing and do another. Only a small part of Americans change any behaviors in
an effort to preserve their privacy. Few people turn down a discount at tollbooths(收费亭) to avoid
using the EZPass system that can track(跟踪) automobile movements. And few turn down supermarket
loyalty cards. Privacy economist Alessandro Acquits has run a series of tests that reveal people will
submit personal information like Social Security numbers just to get their hands on a pitiful 50centsoff
coupon(优惠券).
But privacy does matter at least sometimes. It"s like health; when you have it, you don"t notice it.
Only when it"s gone do you wish you"d done more to protect it.
B. There should be fewer quarrels between friends.
C. Friends should always be faithful to each other.
D. Friends should open their hearts to each other.
B. Many search engines profit by revealing people"s identities.
C. People leave traces around when using modern technology.
D. Modern society has finally developed into an open society.
B. They talk a lot but hardly do anything about it.
C. They rely more and more on electronic equipment.
D. They use various loyalty cards for business deals.
B. They talk a lot but hardly do anything about it.
C. They rely more and more on electronic equipment.
D. They use various loyalty cards for business deals.
