Ricky didn’t help much around the house, so his parents bought him a butler (管家) robot. As soon as it arrived, off it went, cooking, cleaning, and   36  dirty clothes from Ricky’s bedroom   37  . On that first day, when Ricky went to sleep, he had left his bedroom in a   38  . When he woke up the next morning,   39  was perfectly clean and tidy.
But now Ricky couldn’t   40  his favorite T-shirt, nor his favorite toy. However much he searched, the two items didn’t   41  , and the same was starting to happen with other things.   42  the butler robot, Ricky thought of a plan to   43  on it, and finally caught it red-handed (正在作案的), picking up one of his toys to  “ 44 ”  it.
He told his parents that the butler was   45  and asked them to have it   46 . But his parents didn’t believe him at all for they were   47  with the butler for its good service. Ricky kept on telling them how much good stuff the butler was hiding, until one day the butler heard the boy’s   48.  Then it returned some of the boy’s toys and clothes to him.
“Here, sir. I did not know it was   49  you,” said the butler.
“How could it not, you thief?! You’ve been stealing my stuff for weeks!” the boy answered  50.     “The objects were left on the floor;  51  I thought that you did not like them. I am programmed to collect all that is not   52  , and at night I send them to those who can use them. I’m a highly efficient machine,” the bulter said.
Ricky started feeling   53  . Since then, Ricky decided to put real  54  into how he treated his things. He also often bought things and took them to help out those who are  55  -- along with his good friend, the butler of course.

This recently-released documentary(紀(jì)錄片)had some fantastic footage(鏡頭) in it, and a very personal look at many of the astronauts who went to the moon. Overall, that is a very exclusive(獨(dú)特的) club; only about a dozen men ever did it in the history of the world and just eight or nine ever stepped foot on it. Most of them are still alive and they discuss their adventures, insights and personal feelings here.
One gets the feeling that the rest of us will never know exactly how beautiful the moon is except to take the astronauts’s words about it, because even the pictures on this DVD can’t convey that.
Since this documentary is about 100 minutes long, you get a lot of information. You also get reminded how close two of the three men who went up on that historic first walk on the moon almost didn’t get home alive.
An absence in this documentary is the most famous astronaut of them all: Neil Armstrong, the first man to step foot on the moon! Apparently, he did not want to be part of this film. One of the astronauts mentions something briefly about Armstrong being somewhat of a “recluse(隱居者)” now and it “being understandable with what he’s gone through”. From what I’ve read, a lot of people have tried to make money off him in shady ways and so now he’s withdrawn(退出) from the public spotlight.
This film, a legacy to the Apollo program and the brave men who ran it, should be in every schoolroom. It would make history more interesting to students.
小題1:What can we know from the passage?

A．One of the astronauts talks about how beautiful the moon is.

B．Two of the three men who went to the moon lost their lives.

C．The documentary would make more students interested in history.

D．The astronauts talk about their adventures, insights and excitement.

小題2:How many astronauts first flew to the moon?

A．1

B．2

C．3.

D．4

小題3:Why was Armstrong absent from the film?

A．Because he didn’t like to show in public.

B．Because he has been tired of astronaut’s life.

C．Because someone wanted to make money off him.

D．Because he thought what he did was nothing to mention.

小題4:What made Armstrong famous around the world?

A．That he came back safely to the earth alive.

B．That he became an astronaut.

C．That he first stepped on the moon.

D．That he walked on the moon for 100 minutes.

Random ramblings from a guy who is too busy to have a Web site. On the bright side, you won't find any ads, pop-ups, hype, or any attempts to sell you anything at all. Furthermore, you won't find any pages divided into a hundred little boxes. And the text is so large, you don't need an electron microscope to read it. A refreshing break from reality.  Anyway, here's what I have so far as I gradually resurrect my poor neglected Web site.

Being new to computers, or even just being a “casual user”, isn’t always fun. It's as though everybody on the planet assumes you already know all the buzzwords, and already possess all the skills necessary to use a computer.  Which is a really big assumption, when you consider that nobody was ever born knowing how to use a computer.

We lived in a very quiet neighborhood. One evening I heard a loud crash in the street. Earlier that evening my wife had asked me to go to the store to get some soft drinks. It seemed like this would be a good time to let my teenage daughter Holly practice her driving, so I sent her to the store in my truck.
At dinner my son talked about how much he liked my truck. I enjoyed having it, but I said: "Guy, my heart is not set on that truck. I like it but it is just metal and won’t last forever. Never set your heart on anything that won’t last."
After hearing the loud noise, the whole family ran outside. My son shouted: "Dad! Dad, Holly crashed your truck."
My heart sank and my mind was flooded with conflicting thoughts. Was anyone hurt? Who else was involved? As I ran to the door, I heard a voice in my heart say: "Here is a chance to show Holly what you really love. She’ll never forget it."
The accident had occurred in my own driveway. Holly had crashed my truck into our other vehicle, the family van (搬運(yùn)車). In her inexperience, she had confused the brakes and the gas pedal. Holly was unhurt physically, but when I reached her, she was crying and saying: "Oh, Dad, I’m sorry. I know how much you love this truck." I held her in my arms as she cried.
Later that week a friend stopped by and asked what had happened to my truck. I told her the whole story. Her eyes moistened (濕潤(rùn)) and she said: "That happened to me when I was a girl. I borrowed my dad’s car and ran into a log that had fallen across the road. I ruined the car. When I got home my Dad knocked me to the ground and began to kick me."
Over 40 years later, she still felt the pain of that night.
I remember how sad Holly was and how I comforted her. One day, when Holly thinks back on her life, I want her to know what really matters in my life.
小題1:How did the crash happen?

A．The van was parked in the wrong place that evening.

B．Holly stepped on the gas pedal instead of the brakes.

C．The brakes of the truck didn’t work properly.

D．Holly was too careless and young to drive a truck.

小題2:Why didn’t the writer punish Holly?

A．He was so rich that he didn’t care about losing one truck.

B．He thought there was no point punishing her after the accident.

C．He believed the truck was made of metal and of poor quality.

D．He wanted Holly to know he loved her more than any possessions.

小題3:What does the underlined sentence mean?

A．She still suffered physical pain.

B．She felt guilty of damaging the car.

C．It left a deep wound on her soul.

D．She was not forgiven by her Dad.

小題4:Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A．What really matters?

B．Better to forgive and forget

C．Who is to blame?

Think about the last time you felt a negative emotion—like stress, anger, or frustration. What was going through your mind as you were going through that negativity? Was your mind cluttered with (充斥) different kinds of thoughts? Or was it paralyzed, unable to think?
The next time you find yourself in the middle of a very stressful time, or you feel angry or frustrated, stop. Yes, that’s right, stop. Whatever you’re doing, stop and sit for one minute. While you’re sitting there, completely immerse yourself in the negative emotion.
Allow that emotion to consume you. Allow yourself one minute to truly feel that emotion. Don’t cheat yourself here. Take the entire minute—but only one minute—to do nothing else but feel that emotion.
When the minute is over, ask yourself, “Am I willing to keep holding on to this negative emotion as I go through the rest of the day?”
Once you’ve allowed yourself to be totally immersed in the emotion and really feel it, you will be surprised to find that the emotion clears rather quickly.
If you feel you need to hold on to the emotion for a little longer, that is OK. Allow yourself another minute to feel the emotion.
When you feel you’ve had enough of the emotion, ask yourself if you’re willing to carry that negativity with you for the rest of the day. If not, take a deep breath. As you exhale, release all that negativity with your breath.
This exercise seems simple—almost too simple. But, it is very effective. By allowing that negative emotion the space to be truly felt, you are dealing with the emotion rather than stuffing it down and trying not to feel it. You are actually taking away the power of the emotion by giving it the space and attention it needs. When you immerse yourself in the emotion, and realize that it is only emotion, it loses its control. You can clear your head and proceed with your task.
小題1:What should you do when you are into negativity according to the article?

A．Listen to some music.

B．Ignore it and do something else.

C．Just do nothing and truly feel that emotion.

D．Think about it and try to deal with it immediately.

小題2:The underlined word “immerse” (Paragraph 2) most probably means _____.

A．break down

B．get rid of

C．cut off

D．throw into

小題3:What’s the best title of this text?

A．Clear Your Mental Space.

B．Deep Breath, Trouble Away.

C．Try to Avoid the Negative Emotion.

D．Keep Holding on to This Negative Emotion as Long as Possible.

小題4:The author’s opinion towards negative emotion is _____.

A．doubtful

B．optimistic

C．frightened

D．confused

For many parents, raising a teenager is like fighting a long war, but years go by without any clear winner．Like a border conflict between neighboring countries, the parent-teen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between what I control and what you do?
Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict．In part, this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it．From the parents’ point of view, the only cause of their fight is their adolescents’ complete unreasonableness．And of course, the teens see it in exactly the same way, except oppositely．Both feel trapped．
In this article, I’ll describe three no-win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap．The first no-win situation is quarrels over unimportant things．Examples include the color of the teen’s hair, the cleanliness of the bedroom, the preferred style of clothing, the child’s failure to eat a good breakfast before school, or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends．Second, blaming．The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong．Third, needing to be right．It doesn’t matter what the topic is．The laws of physics or the proper way to break an egg —the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong, for both wish to be considered an authority—someone who actually knows something — and therefore to command respect．Unfortunately, as long as parents and teens continue to assume that they know more than the other, they’ll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress．
小題1:Why does the author compare the parent-teen war to a border conflict?

A．Both can continue for generations．

B．Neither can be put to an end．

C．Neither has any clear winner．

D．Both are about where to draw the line．

小題2:What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean?

A．The teens cause their parents to mislead them．

B．The teens agree with their parents on the cause of the conflict

C．The teens blame their parents for starting the conflict．

D．The teens tend to have a full understanding of their parents

小題3:Parents and teens want to be right because they want to ________．

A．give orders to the other	B．gain respect from the other
C．know more than the other	D．get the other to behave properly

小題4:What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?

A．Solutions for the parent –teen problems．

B．Examples of the parent –teen war．

C．Causes for the parent –teen conflicts．

D．Future of the parent-teen relationship．

Sports shoes that work out whether their owner has done enough exercise to promise time in front of the television have been devised in the UK.
The shoes- named Square Eyes- contain an electronic pressure sensor and a tiny computer chip to record how many steps the wearer has taken in a day. A wireless transmitter (發(fā)射器) passes the information to a receiver connected to a television, and this decides how much evening viewing time the wearer deserves(應(yīng)得), based on the day's efforts.
The design was inspired by a desire to fight against the rapidly ballooning waistlines among British teenagers, says Gillian Swan, who developed Square Eyes as a final year design project at Brunel University in London, UK. "We looked at current issues and childhood overweight really stood out," she says. "And I wanted to tackle that with my design."
Once a child has used up their daily allowance gained through exercise, the television automatically (自動(dòng)地) switches off. And further time in front of the TV can only be earned through more steps. Swan calculated how exercise should translate to television time using the recommended daily amounts of both. Health experts suggest that a child take 12,000 steps each day and watch no more than two hours of television. So, every 100 steps recorded by the Square Eyes shoes equals exactly one minute of TV time.
Existing pedometers(計(jì)步器) normally clip onto a belt or slip into a pocket and keep count of steps by measuring sudden movement. Swan says these can be easily tricked into recording steps through shaking. But her shoe has been built to be harder for lazy teenagers to cheat. "It is possible, but it would be a lot of effort," she says. "That was one of my main design considerations."
小題1:According to Swan, the purpose of her design project is to _____.

A．keep a record of the steps of the wearer.

B．deal with overweight among teenagers.

C．enable children to resist (抵制) the attraction of TV.

D．prevent children from being tricked by TV programs.

小題2:Which of the following is true of Square Eyes shoes?

A．They control a child's evening TV viewing time.

B．They determine a child's daily pocket money.

C．They have raised the hot issue of overweight.

D．They contain information of the receiver.

小題3:Compared with other similar products, the new design ___.

A．sends teenagers' health data(數(shù)據(jù)) to the receiver.

B．counts the wearer's steps through shaking.

C．records the sudden movement of the wearer.

D．make it difficult for lazy teenagers to cheat

小題4:Which of the following would be the best title for the text?

A．Smart Shoes Stop Childhood Overweight

B．Smart Shoes Guarantee More Exercise

C．Smart Shoes Measure Time of Exercise

D．Smart Shoes Decide on Television Time

Learners of English, especially self-taught learners may have trouble in understanding speeches by native speakers. The following ways might help improve their listening ability.
First of all, do things step by step. It is not good to listen to something beyond your level. Better choose a suitable course and start with the first book. Go on to the second book only after you are sure you understand the first one.
Secondly, stick to one course of study. Don’t change books often. Never let your attention be attracted by another course just because it seems to be more “fashionable”. 
Thirdly, listen to the English news program over the radio from time to time.  Better go through the news stories in the Chinese-language newspaper first. That will make it easy for you to understand the English news on the radio.
Fourthly, if you have time, listen to some interesting stories in “Special English from the V.O.A. or other listening materials of the same level as that of your textbook”.
