Last month the manager(经理)of a jewelry shop ( 珠宝店) received a letter. As he was very busy then, the letter lay on his desk till tea-time. He opened it and a 10-pound note fell out onto the desk. Within the note was a letter which said:
Dear sir,
In 1935 I got engaged(订婚 ). But unfortunately I lost my job. At the time a lot of people were out of work. Six months later I got a job again, but of course I was very short of money. I came to your shop to buy a wedding ring(婚戒 ). The assistant took out some rings for me to look at, but she was called away for a moment, and I put one of the rings in my pocket. When she came back, I said I didn’t know the size of my girl’s finger. So I left the shop without buying a ring. My wife died a short while ago and the fact that I never paid for the ring has been heavy in my heart all these years. At that time, the ring cost 2 pounds so I think it is 10 pounds at today’s price and I’m sending 10 pounds.
Yours truly,
A customer (顾客 )

KUNMING—Many Chinese teenagers are interested in“falling in love”and“getting married”. In an unreal world,as more on-line games offer such experience to them whose minds are full of romance(浪漫).Parents and schools worried that such on-line games would cause the prematurity(早熟)of children and affect their studies.
A mother surnamed Xiong has a 14-year-old son,who often stayed all night in the Internet café playing games recently.One day,the son came home with joy and told his mother he had got some million yuan in a game and had got a wife and a son.
“I was very surprised to find him interested so much in the grown-up’s activities,”the mother said,adding that the son spent all his pocket money in the Internet cafe and even skipped classes(逃课).
It is reported that a similar story happened to a high school boy named Yan,who married a girl named Xiao Fei in an on-line game called“Crazy tanks”.In the game,the“couple”took wedding photos, had a sweet honeymoon and had a child.“We love each other so much that we can’t live without the other.”said the boy.
Finally he decided to find Xiao Fei in real life.“I must meet her in real life and will love her.I’m planning it now,”he said with hope in his eyes.“Many on-line games allow players to marry and live together,and it is bad for children,”Yan’s teacher said.

Have you ever stayed in a hotel? Most Chinese hotels often provide guests with things like disposable (一次性的) toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo and slippers. Many guests like the idea because they don't have to bring their own. But, if you travel to Beijing , remember to bring your own things. Starting from June, some hotels in Beijing will no longer provide guests with these disposables. They want to ask people to use less disposable things.
Many disposable things are made of plastic. People throw them away after only using them once. It is a waste of natural resources (资源) and is very bad for the environment. Do you know, one Chinese person makes as much as 400kg of waste a year! Most of that waste comes from disposable things. In Beijing , people throw away about 19,000 tons of plastic bags and 1,320 tons of plastic lunch bowls every year! Plastic can take between 100 and 400 years to break down. So the less plastic we throw out, the better. So, wherever you travel, bring your own things and use them again and again.
Back at home and school, you can also do something to make our world a better place. Try to do these things in your daily life: Use cloth shopping bags, not plastic ones. After using a plastic bag, wash it out and let it dry. Then you can use it over and over again. Do not use paper cups. At your school canteen(食堂), use your own bowl and chopsticks instead of disposable ones.
( )52. Why do many hotels provide guests with some disposable things?
A. Let their guests be convenient during their travelling.
B. Hope their guests use less disposable things.
C. Wish their guests to save money. D. Want their guests to use more disposable things.
( )53. Some Beijing hotels will no longer provide guests with ____.
A. cheap food and drink B. disposable things
C. good service D. free TV programmes
( )54. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. Many disposable things are made of plastic.
B. Throwing disposable things away is a waste of natural resources.
C. Plastic is very bad for the environment.
D. Plastic breaks down easily.
( )55. What can we do to make our world a better place at home and school?
A. Use shopping bags made of plastic. B. Do not throw away paper cups.
C. Use disposable plates, bowls and chopsticks. D. Do not forget to reuse daily necessities(日用品).
( )56. We can tell from the story that ____.
A. people don't like disposable things at all
B. we can't use paper or plastic bowls at school
C. we should use less plastic things and protect our environment
D. hotels won't provide disposable things because they want to save money.
D
Everyone has got two personalities(性格) - the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real. You don't show your secret personality when you're awake because you can control yourself, but when you're asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, you often change your sleeping positions (睡眠位置). The important position that best shows your secret personality is the one that you go to sleep.
If you go to sleep on your back, you're a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced (影响) by new ideas. You don't like to make people unhappy, so you never express your real feelings. You're quite shy and you aren't very confident.
If you sleep on your stomach, you are a person who likes to keep secrets. You worry a lot and you're always easily becoming sad. You never want to change your ideas, but you are satisfied with your life the way it is. You usually live for today not for tomorrow.
If you sleep on curled up(蜷缩),you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and often protect yourself from being hurt, so you are very defensive. You're shy and you don't usually like meeting people. You like to be on your own.
If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balanced(平衡的)personality. You know your strengths and weaknesses. You're usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel worried, but you don't often get unhappy. You always say what you think, even if it makes people angry.
( )57. You may find the passage in_______.
A. a science magazine B. a guide book C. a sports newspaper D. a story book
( )58. Tina hardly tells her secrets to her friends. She probably goes to sleep_______.
A. on curled up B. on her stomach C. on her back D. on her side
( )59. What does the word 'defensive' mean in the passage?
A.易怒的 B.攻击性的 C. 外向的 D.有戒心的
( )60. What does the passage tell us?
A. Sleeping on your side is the best way of sleeping.
B. Changing positions will cause sleeping problems.
C. Sleeping positions show people's secret personalities.
