To Whom it May Concern,
     I have trusted the Shoe People to protect the feet of my employees for over ten years now. I
recently purchased a few pairs of boots from your company for my crew. Though my men were
initially satisfied with the boots, the soles(鞋底) began to fall apart on them after just twelve weeks.
This was extremely surprising considering they came with a six year warranty(担保). The boots are
unsafe to wear because my men are pouring hot concrete. Please respond as soon as possible with
instructions on how I can return the boots and receive a refund.
     Thank you, John Trimbald, Foreman, JT Construction

Dear Mr. Trimbald,
     Thank you for your e-mail concerning the poor quality of our rubber soled black workboots.
A representative will be by your office next week to pick up the damaged boots. We apologize for
any inconvenience this has caused you and your crew.  Along with five new pairs of workboots for
your crew (we included one extra pair), we have enclosed a free year"s supply of spray(喷雾). In
our retail stores, this spray is always recommended to buyers who work on heated floors. This should
have been brought to your attention at the time of your initial order (received by telephone on
October 12, 2007). Please excuse our oversight. To date we have had no complaints about these
workboots from customers who have used the protector spray. However, should you use the spray
and find that you are still unsatisfied with the boots, please return the boots and spray for a full refund.
     Thank you for supporting The Shoe People. Have a Happy New Year.  Sincerely, Stan Mason,
President

     Boys need friends,suffer when they don"t believe they have any,and worry over the ups and
downs of relationships.Many adults believe that somehow boys need friends less than girls do,
in truth,though,no boy is an island;boys value their friends throughout childhood and adolescence
and are happier and healthier when they have solid relationships with peers (同龄人).
      Despite the common belief that girls are better at relationships,most boys consider their friends
a very important part of their lives,and boys may actually be better at keeping friendships than girls
are.A recent study of 10to15yearold boys and girls found that girls" friendships are actually more
fragile.Girls tend to say and do hurtful things to each other more frequently than boys,and girls are
more hurt by the end of a friendship.
     Boys are the living definition of the phrase "peer group";they love games with rules,competition,
and doing things together.Boys seem to enjoy,even need the opportunity to test themselves against
others,and many lasting friendships begin in karate (空手道) class or on the basketball court.
Competence and skill are widely respected;being picked last for a team or left out altogether is
an experience that can haunt (萦绕心头) a boy for years.
     As boys mature,the friendship becomes even more important,and it frequently widens to include
girls.During the teen years,friends can become the most important part of a boy"s life-and a part in
which his parents are not included.The confusion of being a teenager leads boys to form close bonds
with friends.There is the sense for many boys that a friend is someone who is "always there for me",
someone he can trust.They may be partners in crime or partners in study,but the friendship of
adolescent boys can run surprisingly deep.

1.The common belief of adults is that boys ________.
A.don"t care about others as much as girls
B.don"t value friendships as much as girls
C.have the same friendship as girls
D.have healthier friendship than girls
2.According to the passage,________.

A.boys usually build friendships by playing competitive games
B.boys like to have small groups of friends
C.boys" friendships seldom result in anyone being hurt
D.boys" friendships can hardly end in failure

3.The author mentions the study in Para.2 to prove ________.

A.girls value relationships more than boys
B.most boys consider their friends very important
C.boys may be better at keeping friendships than girls
D.boys may be more active in a friendship

4.As a boy gets older,he tends to ________.
A.widen his circle of friends to include his parents
B.shift his focus from his friends to himself
C.leave his parents out of his friends
D.be confused about what a friendship is
5.What"s the best title of the passage?
A.Friendships Between Boys and Girls
B.Boys and Their Friendship
C.Childhood and Adolescent Friendship
D.Tips on Making Friends with Boys

     There are plenty of creams etc on the market that help you look younger, but today, Dr Oz is
going to show how some people are actually living longer.
    "We are going to talk about extreme life extension," he says. "I am talking in details about allowing
us to go into our second century of life with the energy that you have when you are a young person."
    Owing to advances in technology and research on how diet affect the aging process, Dr Oz says
it might be possible for some people to live to see their 120th birthdays.
    There"s one man in Oprah"s audience who Dr Oz says may become the first man in history to live
to be 150 years old. Joe Cordell is one of thousands around the world who believe they"ve found
the key to an extreme long life-calorie restriction leads to a longer, healthier life.
    At 59 Joe weighs 130 pounds. He may not look like a person who needs to count calories, but
as part of his life extension program, he inspects every mouth of food that passes through his system.
    Every day for the past seven years, Joe has limited himself to about 1,950 calories.
    He believes that by eating less and restricting his caloric intake, he will trigger a genetic switch that
slows the aging process.
    Joe doesn"t take away himself of food. Instead, the then 52-year-old father filled up on natural
fruits, vegetables and lean proteins(瘦蛋白) that were packed with necessary vitamins and nutrients.
"Whenever you are thinking about calorie restriction, you should continually think about getting the
most nutritional amount per calorie," Joe says.
    In keeping with this principle, Joe starts every morning with three apples...but he only eats the
peels. "Most of the fiber is in the peel, and more importantly, most of the nutrients are in the peel,"
he says.
    "It is important to eat some nuts with breakfast so that you do take in some fat, some healthy fats,"
he says. "I think it helps the absorption of the nutrients, and it is very filling."
    For lunch, Joe usually eats a large salad, loaded with vegetables. At dinnertime, he and his family
enjoy lean meat or fish and more vegetables.
    When Joe started practicing calorie restriction, he weighed 175 pounds. Since then, he has lost
45 pounds, and he says he hasn"t had a cold in seven years. Though he is in his "golden years",
researchers studying Joe say he has the body of a 20-year-old athlete.


1. According to Joe, the appropriate fat intake may help ______?
A. people lose weight
B. feel always full
C. the absorption of the nutrients 
D. people to live longer
2. What can we learn about Joe since he started the calorie restriction program?
A. Joe counts the amount of every meal
B. Joe has never had a cold
C. Joe eats three apples every morning
D. Joe has a large salad with vegetables for dinner
3. The underlined word "trigger" in paragraph 7 can probably be replaced by ______.
A. turn on
B. break down
C. take up
D. cut off
4. According to the passage, the extreme life extension refers to _______.
A. living very long even sick
B. how to make people lead a happy life
C. living long and having a healthy body
D. how to arrange our foods every day
请用下列单词或短语的适当形式填空.


Now you are in a dinosaur   1  park. Coming here, you will find a kind of old   2  , which has
died out millions of years ago, dinosaur. In our park, we are happy to show you     3   dinosaurs,
which lived in the Jurassic. The four-storied-building-high grass-eating dinosaurs are submissive
(温顺的) and kind. You can  4    towards them and touch them. But the   5  of them are dangerous.
The four-legged meat-eating dinosaurs are very cruel. Please don"t    6  them and don"t try to give
them food. The    7  here is very thick and full of all kinds of animals that lived in the Jurassic. Without
any special    8  and the leading of the guide, please don"t step into it. OK, I"m sure that our park will

     It is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams,the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life,
but manners on the road are becoming horrible. Everybody knows that the nicest men would
become fierce tigers behind the wheel. It is all right to have a tiger in a cage,but to have one in the
driver"s seat is another matter.
     Road politeness is not only good manners,but good sense. It takes the most cool-headed
drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving. On the
other hand,a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarrelling and
fighting. A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an
atmosphere of good will and becomes so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such behaviors
of politeness are by no means enough. Many drivers nowadays don"t even seem able to recognize
politeness when they see it.
     However,misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. Typical examples are the driver who
waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may not be
able to stop in time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and
whenever they want to.
     An experienced driver,whose manners are faultless,told me it would help if drivers learnt to
correctly join in traffic stream without causing total blockages that give rise to unpleasant feelings.
Unfortunately,modern drivers can"t even learn to drive,let alone master the road man ship. ears
ago,experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more give-and-take
from all road users. It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.
1. The passage mainly talks about________.
A. traffic jams
B. road politeness
C. good manners  
D. modern drivers
2. Troubles on the road are often caused by________.
A. the behavior of the drivers
B. traffic jams
C. great speed  
D. terrible road conditions
3. According to the writer,a good driver should________.
A.be able to recognize politeness when he sees it
B. beat back when forced to face rude driving
C. encourage old ladies to cross the roads whenever they want to
D. join in traffic stream quickly however other people feel
4. The following statements are right EXCEPT that________.
A. some modern drivers are not good at driving
B. road politeness is good sense as well as good manners
C. a friendly driver should nod or wave thanks in answer to an act of politeness
D.it is also right to have a tiger in the driver"s seat
5. It is not always right for drivers to________.
A. master road man ship
B. recognize politeness when they see it
C. give a friendly nod in answer to an act of politeness
D. encourage old ladies to cross the road whenever and wherever they want
