If you enjoy reading, don’t miss Shakespeare and Company when you visit the city of Paris. It is a famous English-language bookstore on the left bank of the river Seine. The first Shakespeare and Company in history was opened in 1919 by an American, Sylvia Beach. Ms. Beach did more than sell books. Her bookstore was also a library, and she even prepared beds for writers visiting there. Ms. Beach was not only kind to people but also good at choosing books, so her bookstore was often visited by writers like Ernest Hemingway and James Joyce. But in 1941, after the Germans took power in Paris, Ms. Beach was told to close her bookstore.
In 1951, another American, George Whitman, opened in Paris another English-language bookstore, Librairie Mistral. Since then, just as Ms. Beach did, Mr Whitman has also made his bookstore a library for people to borrow books, and a free hotel for writers to stay in. To remember Ms. Beach, Mr Whitman changed the name of his bookstore to Shakespeare and Company in 1964, two years after Ms. Beach died.
Next time when you are in Paris, don’t forget to visit this friendly bookstore, and see if you can spend a night there!

Whenever we see a button, we are eager to press it because we know something will happen. This is true in most cases, for example on a doorbell and on the “on/off” button on the TV. But some buttons are actually fake (假的), like the “close” button on a lift.
Many people are in the habit of pressing the “close” button because they don’t have the patience to wait for the lift doors to shut. But lifts “close” buttons are a complete scam, at least in the US—the doors will not close any faster no matter how hard you press.
It started in the 1990s when the Americans with Disabilities Act was passed in the US, making sure that all lifts stayed open long enough so that people with disabilities could enter. Only US firefighters and repairmen can use the buttons to speed up the door-closing process if they have a code or special keys.
But to normal lift riders, the buttons aren’t completely useless. According to psychologists, fake buttons can actually make you feel better by offering you a sense of control. “Perceived (能够感知的) control is very important. It reduces stress and increases well-being,” Ellen J. Langer, a psychology professor, said, “Having a lack of control is connected with depression (抑郁).”
Experts have expressed that a lot of buttons that don’t do anything exist in our lives for this same purpose. For example, many offices in the US have fake thermostats (温度调节器) because people tend to feel better when they think they can control the temperature in their workspace.
But Psychologists found it interesting that even when people are aware of these little “white lies”, they still continue to push fake buttons because as long as the doors eventually close, it is considered to be worth the effort.
“That habit is here to stay,” John Kounios, a psychology professor, said, “Even though I have real doubts (怀疑) about the traffic light buttons, I always press them. After all, I’ve got nothing else to do while waiting. So why not press the button in the hope that this one will work?”
28. What was the author’s main purpose in writing the article?
A. To describe some different kinds of fake buttons.
B. To tell the uses of fake buttons.
C. To explore people’s different habits when it comes to pushing buttons.
D. To explain the advantages and disadvantages of fake buttons.
29. In America, the “close” buttons on lifts _________.
A. were specially designed to give people a sense of control
B. are fake for the convenience of disabled people
C. work only when people press them hard for a while
D. cannot speed up the process of closing the door in any case
30. The underlined part “for this same purpose” in Paragraph 5 refers to______.
A. giving people perceived control B. making people more patient
C. helping people to build up confidence D. making people with depression feel better
31. According to John Kounios, people who press fake buttons _______.
A. don’t know that what they press is fake B. should give up this habit
C. consider what they do to be meaningless D. probably do so to kill time

D
On a cold morning, my husband Prem and I drove off Pangong Lake with four other tourists, all much younger than the two of us. The wet road slowed us down. Halfway through our journey, we had to stop behind a long line of cars.
"The road ahead is blocked with snow," said Norbu, our driver. "Even if we get to the lake, we can't drive back in the dark---it gets too misty(模糊的). We may have to spend the night there." We were unprepared for this---no extra warm clothes, and the risk of altitude sickness made me worry. I suggested we turn back, but the others didn't agree. So Prem stepped out hoping to get a free ride in one of the cars turning back. They were all full, but while he was out, Prem stepped deep into fresh snow, which filled his sports shoes and made his socks all wet. Back in our tourist car, his feet hurt and we were afraid of frostbite（冻 疮）setting in. Determined to get a ride, I stepped out this time. One car with enough room passed by, but didn't stop. Then a car with just the driver and a passenger took us in after I told them that my husband needed help.
As we drove along, the man named Ali in the passenger seat ordered Prem to remove his shoes and socks. Covering his cold, wet feet with a spare jacket, he bent down and started moving his hands over the surface of my husband's feet. "Please, I'll do it," I insisted, but he continued and kept on doing that for about 20 minutes until he was sure Prem's feet were warm again.
As we neared his home, Ali invited us to "whatever simple lunch was cooked." When we refused, he asked the driver to drop us wherever we needed to go. Long before that, Prem's feet were back to normal, thanks to a man's loving heart and caring hands.
32. We can learn from the passage that the author _________________________.
A. prepared extra warm clothes B. travelled to a lake as a guide
C. went camping at Pangong Lake D. planned to have a one-day tour to a lake
33. What made the author worried about?
A. They couldn't get a free ride. B. Frostbite might hurt Prem's feet.
C. Snow might get Prem's socks wet. D. They were suffering altitude sickness.
34. Why did Ali ask Prem to take off his shoes and socks?
A. Because he prepared to help Prem. B. Because Prem might get his car dirty.
C. Because Prem could relax without them. D. Because he wanted to clean them for Prem.
35. Which is the best title for the passage?
A. The Unusual Ride B. The Mean Stranger
C. The Caring Hands D. The Failed Touring

___36___ However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment.
Some sports are resource-hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses（球场）in good condition. ___37___For example, in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas.
___38___ Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You don’t need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don't have to worry about resources and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. ___39___ Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control.
Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be “green gyms”. They are better replacements（代替物）for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces. ___40___ And best of all, it’s free.
A. It will cost you a lot.
B. This causes major environmental effects.
C. There are many environment-friendly sports.
D. Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature.
E. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones.
F. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership.

作文范文
Dear lucy,
I am more than delighted to receive your letter, in which you said you are hard-working but you are anxious about the exams before you take them. Upon knowing that, I am writing this letter to offer you some advice.
Initially, in my opinion, it’s important for you to have a fight attitude towards exams. They are only means of checking how we are getting along with our studies, so there is no need to worry too much about the results. Study hard every day and make careful plans for every exam. In this way you can avoid suffering from the pressure of exams. Besides, you’d better go out for a walk or do some outdoor exercises before exams so that you can keep 
yourself relaxed and then concentrate yourself on exams. Finally, you can also try a warm bath or a cup of warm milk before going to bed, which might help you have a sound sleep.
It is my hope that all suggestions mentioned above will be of great use to you. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you still have any questions.
Yours,
Li Hua
