people went there in search for gold. Panning (淘洗) for gold has a rich and interesting history.
Nowadays some people continue to pan for gold in California. Although it cannot be regarded as a
method for earning income, taking on gold-panning as a hobby can give you a feeling of being in the old
west and get you out into nature.
The only tool that is required to pan for gold is a gold pan. You can use a regular old flat pan, but
"officially" gold pans are quite cheap so you may as well buy one that is made for the task. Most sold
pans come in either plastic or medal.
Once you have your pan you will want to start practicing your gold panning technique. Panning for
gold works because gold is much heavier than most rocks. To pan for gold you add rock and dirt form
the bottom of a stream to your pan and then gently let water flow through the pan. The lighter-weight
rocks are slowly swept away while any gold will be left behind in the pan.
To start panning for gold, first you will need to find a good location. Try checking maps of your area
and old history books to find location where there were gold mines in the past. Even though most of the
gold have already been removed, there are likely to be small leftovers that you can find. Once you have
found an area thatlooks promising, look for any small stream or river where you can try out panning for
gold.
Panning for gold requires patience and it may be a long time before you hit anything of value. However, it is an enjoyable hobby and provides a great opportunity to get outdoors, so don"t give up too quickly.
B. How gold-panning works.
C. What tools are needed.
D. A promising area for panning.
B. Indifferent .
C. Positive.
D. Neutral .
B. Health.
C. Travel.
D. Sports.

Alcohol: No
Sports/ Activities: I used to do a lot of ballet and stage work, my ambition was to be a professional
dancer before I got sick. Nowadays I love to read, and other stuff like that, as well as spending a lot of
time with my family and friends.
Grades: I finished high school last year, and I haven"t started college because I"ve been sick. But I got
subject prizes in three subjects and high as in the rest.
Favorite Subject: I loved Music, English, History and Biology. Hard to pick a favorite - they"re all so
different.
Volunteer Work: It all depends on what you call "volunteer". Nothing really official, but I spend a lot of
my time working and playing with really sick kids, and they come to me for advice a lot.
What My Future Goals Are: I"d either like to go on to do stage work, or work with kids with serious
illnesses. I haven"t decided which, yet.
What I do in My Spare Time: Talk to my friends and my family. Hang around with my hospital friends. Watch TV. Go to the movies when I can. I love going on picnics and other outdoorsy stuff.
How I"d Change the World: No question. Cure cancer. Eradicate it forever.

C. She is curing people of cancer.
D. She is working in a hospital.
B. put an end of
C. break up
D. set aside
B. all her friends in her life
C. the person she refers to
D. everyone including herself
B. She had done very well at college.
C. She often visits hospitals in her spare time.
D. She has her own homepage on the Internet.
I can"t even remember what happened.
In the past nine years, I"ve seen her twice, and each time we"ve been polite but distant. And that
troubles me because we were once inseparable. I"d like nothing more than to go back nine years, and
continue our friendship. But how? How do you reconnect with friends you"ve lost throughout the years?
Linking to your past
The desire to reconnect with lost friends isn"t unusual. Why? Because friends link us to the past.
"Friends from years ago are custodians (监护人) of our past," says Sandy Sheehy.
Although you can share information about your past with friends you"ve met recently, you don"t have
a shared history with them. So you wind up only telling them about your past, rather than sharing it with
them.
But many people never try to reconnect. Women especially have trouble taking the first step. Shyness or
fear that the other person doesn"t want to reconnect often stops many women. And that shouldn"t be.
Your friends probably want to be in touch with you as much as you want to be in touch with them.
Searching for friends
Fortunately, finding lost friends isn"t as difficult as it once was, thanks to tools like the Internet. Our
experts offer these suggestions for locating contact information:
Search Internet sites designed to locate people like classmates.com and switchboard.com.
Contact your high school or college alumni (校友) office to request current address information.
Surf online yellow pages. Check current phone records from your friend"s hometown.
Network with other friends who might have known your friend.
Get in touch with any of her relatives, if you know where they live. If you know where she works,
find the company"s website and search the directory of personnel.
B. How to rebuild friendship.
C. How to develop healthy friendship.
D. How to keep in touch with friends.
B. in the past old friends took care of us
C. old friends are part of our life history
D. old friends know what wrongs we did
B. Busy time.
C. Regret and shame.
D. Fear and shyness.
B. By searching your friends" telephone number on the Net.
C. By asking the local post office about your friends" new address.
D. By putting an advertisement in your friends" local town.
experts (专家) agree that this is a good idea.
One pioneer, in particular, who disagrees is David Tebbutt, the founder of Computertown UK. Although many people see this as a successful attempt to bring people closer to the computer. David does not see it that way. He says that Computertown UK was formed for just the opposite reason, to bring computers
to people and make them "people-literate." David Tebbutt thinks Computertowns are most successful
when tied to a computer club but he insists there is an important difference between the two. The clubs are for people who have some computer knowledge already. This frightens away non-experts, who are
happier going to Computertowns where there are computers for them to experiment on, with experts to
encourage them and answer any questions they have. They are not told what to do, they find out.The
computer experts have to learn not to tell people about computers, but have to be able to answer all
questions people ask. People don"t have to learn computer terms (术语), but the experts have to explain
in plain language. The computers are becoming "people-literate."
B. There should be more computer clubs for experts.
C. People should work harder to master computer use.
D. Computers should be made cheaper so that people can afford them.
B. being able to write computer programs
C. working with the computer and finding out its value
D. understanding the computer and knowing how to use it
B. bring people to learn to use computers
C. bring more experts to work together
D. help to sell computers to the public
B. improving computer programs
C.increasing omputersales
D. popularising computers
and more when you are on business. The other day I was at the airport waiting for a ticket to
Washington and the girl in the ticket office said, "I"m sorry, I can"t sell you a ticket. Our computer is
down."
"If your computer is down, just write me out a ticket."
"I can"t write you out a ticket. The computer is the only one allowed to do so."
I looked down on the computer and every passenger was just standing there drinking coffee and
staring at the black screen. Then I asked her, "What do all you people do?"
"We give the computer the information about your trip, and then it tells us whether you can fly with
us or not."
So when it goes down, you go down with it."
"That"s good, sir."
"How long will the computer be down?" I wanted to know.
"I have no idea. Sometimes it"s down for 10 minutes, sometimes for two hours. There"s no way we
can find out without asking the computer, and since it"s down it won"t answer us."
After the girl told me they had no backup (备用) computer, I said. "Let"s forget the computer. What
about your planes? They"re still flying, aren"t they?"
"I couldn"t tell without asking the computer."
"Maybe I could just go to the gate and ask the pilot if he"s flying to Washington, " I suggested.
" I wouldn"t know what gate to send you to. Even if the pilot was going to Washington, he couldn"t
take you if you didn"t have a ticket."
"Is there any other airline flying to Washington within the next few hours?"
"I wouldn"t know, " she said, pointing at the dark screen. "Only "IT" knows. "It" can"t tell me."
By this time there were quite a few people standing in lines. The word soon spread to other travelers
that the computer was down. Some people went white, some people started to cry and still others kicked
their luggage.
B. The Most Frightening Words
C. The Computer of the Airport
D. Asking the Computer
B. She could write out a ticket.
C. She could answer the passengers" questions.
D. She could do nothing.
B. Because it was very expensive.
C. Because it was not advanced enough.
D. Because it was not as big as the main computer.
B. computers can take the place of humans
C. sometimes a computer may bring suffering to people
D. there will be great changes in computers
the perfect movie for you. Although it didn"t get the best reviews, it is perfect for those who like a good
comedy.
Just as in the first "Rush Hour," Inspector Lee (Jackie Chan) and LAPD Detective James Carter
(Chris Tucker) are partners. This time, they are on vacation in China and Carter is looking for a good
time, but they are on the job again when a bombing at the American Embassy kills two customs agents.
Lee and Carter go to look for a suspect named Ricky Tan. For Lee this is a serious case because Tan
killed his father. Will Carter and Lee be able to capture Tan?
Another reason to see this movie perhaps is for the thrilling action, which includes karate fights with
Jackie Chan. One of my favorite scenes shows Carter and Lee in a massage parlor (店堂) when
everything goes crazy.
"Rush Hour 2" is, of course, really funny with Chris Tucker in the lead role. Chan and Tucker have
many clever jokes and remarks. Some of the jokes aren"t enjoyed by the critics, but most will find them
entertaining.
With no doubt, the movie was great. I was filled with anxiety about what was going to happen next.
Many critics say that sequels (续集) are not as good as the original but this one is great. I especially
enjoyed it because the special effects are minimal so everything looks as though it actually happened. The
lighting effect is great as well as the sound.
So, if you are looking for a great action movie that leaves you at the edge of your seat and makes you
laugh quite a bit, you should rush to see "Rush Hour 2."
B. with the best actors
C. full of humors
D. with great lights
B. inspector Lee doesn"t want to have a good time
C. the American Embassy in China was attacked
D. a suspect named Ricky Tan killed Lee"s father
B. maximal special effects
C. karate fights
D. clever jokes and remarks
B. Action movie
C. Soap opera
D. Situational comedy
