One afternoon, after finishing shopping in a supermarket, my family and I went to the checkout. I suddenly thought we didn’t need any of the junk, and we abandoned all of those, saving $300.

That got me thinking about all our pointless expenses in life. With a promise that we’d stop if it was killing us, I convinced the family to take the leap into frugality (节俭). The rules were that we would buy nothing for 30 days except absolutely essentials.

Our adventure began with a great start. By 9 a.m., my wife, Ruth, had already made cakes from old strawberries and picked flowers I didn’t even know we had in the garden. I cleared the car by hand for the first time for years. I read and returned the neighbor’s newspaper before he woke up. Total spending on the first day: $0.

As days turned into weeks, we became so proficient at living frugally. We started riding our bikes to save gas. My child’s finger painting was recycled as gift wrap for the homemade presents. We started to use an Internet application like Skype for free phone calls and ask neighbors with gardens for extra vegetables and herbs.

In the end, we saved more than $2000 by not spending for a month. When we began, I imagined we would rush out the moment we were done and buy a lot of things in the supermarket, then maybe hit the mall or go to the movies.

24. We can infer from the passage that before that very afternoon, the family _________.

A. had had higher income           B. had had a good habit of saving money

C. had often spent money without thinking much

D. hadn’t realized they would have met financial problems

25. How many things were mentioned about the things the family did to save on the first day of the “30 days”?

A. Two.     B. Three.      C. Four.      D. Five.

26. What does the underlined word “proficient” mean in the fourth paragraph?

A. Arranged.     B. Thrilled.      C. Disappointed.   D. Skilled.

27. This passage is mainly about _________.

A. how a family managed their daily life B. a family’s no-buying try

C. a family’s way of solving life problems D. how a new idea came up

C

Facial expressions carry meaning that is determined by situations and relationships. For example in American culture (文化) the smile is in general an expression of pleasure. Yet it also has other uses. A woman’s smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young child. A smile may show love or politeness. It can also hide true feelings. It often causes confusion (困惑) across cultures. For example, many people in Russia consider smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even improper. Yet many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places (although this is less common in big cities).Some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong places; some Americans believe that Russians don’t smile enough. In Southeast Asian cultures, a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelings. Vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile.

Our faces show emotions (情感), but we should not attempt to "read" people from another culture as we would "read" someone from our own culture. The fact that members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as do members of another does not mean that they do not experience emotions.

Rather, there are cultural differences in the amount of facial expressions permitted. For example, in public and in formal situations many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans do. When with friends, Japanese and Americans seem to show their emotions similarly.

It is difficult to generalize about Americans and facial expressiveness because of personal and cultural differences in the United States. People from certain cultural backgrounds in the United States seem to be more facially expressive than others. The key is to try not to judge people whose ways of showing emotion are different. If we judge according to our own cultural habits, we may make the mistake of "reading" the other person incorrectly.

28. What does the smile usually mean in America?

A. Love.      B. Politeness.      C. Joy.       D. Thankfulness.

29. The author mentions the smile of the Vietnamese to prove that smile can ___ .

A. show friendliness to strangers      B. be used to hide true feelings

C. be used in the wrong places        D. show personal habits

30. What should we do before attempting(尝试) to "read" people?

A. Learn about their relations with others.       B. Understand their cultural backgrounds.

C. Find out about their past experience.         D. Figure out what they will do next.

31. What would be the best title for the test?

A. Cultural Differences       B. Smiles and Relationship

C. Facial Expressiveness       D. Habits and Emotions

D

Does Fame Drive You Crazy?

Although being famous might sound like a dream come true, today’s star, feeling like zoo animals, face pressures that few of us can imagine. They are at the center of much of the world’s attention. Paparazzi (狗仔队) camp outside their homes, cameras ready. Tabloids (小报) publish thrilling stories about their personal lives. Just imagine not being able to do anything without being photographed or interrupted for a signature.

According to psychologist Christina Villareal, celebrities — famous people — worry constantly about their public appearance. Eventually, they start to lose track of who they really are, seeing themselves the way their fans imagine them, not as the people they were before everyone knew their names. “Over time,” Villareal says, “they feel separated and alone.”

The phenomenon of tracking celebrities has been around for ages. In the 4th century B.C., painters followed Alexander the Great into battle, hoping to picture his victories for his admirers. When Charles Dickens visited America in the 19th century, his sold-out readings attracted thousands of fans, leading him to complain about his lack of privacy. Tabloids of the 1920s and 1930s ran articles about film-stars in much the same way that modern tabloids and websites do.

Being a public figure today, however, is a lot more difficult than it used to be. Superstars cannot move about without worrying about photographers with modern cameras. When they say something silly or do something ridiculous, there is always the Internet to spread the news in minutes and keep their “story” alive forever.

If fame is so troublesome, why aren’t all celebrities running away from it? The answer is there are still ways to deal with it. Some stars stay calm by surrounding themselves with trusted friends and family or by escaping to remote places away from big cities. They focus not on how famous they are but on what they love to do or whatever made them famous in the first place.

Sometimes a few celebrities can get a little justice. Still, even stars who enjoy full justice often complain about how hard their lives are. They are tired of being famous already.

32. It can be learned from the passage that stars today ________.

A. are often misunderstood by the public          B. can no longer have their privacy protected

C. spend too much on their public appearance      D. care little about how they have come into fame

33. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?

A. Great heroes of the past were generally admired.  

B. The problem faced by celebrities has a long history.

C. Well-known actors are usually targets of tabloids.  

D. Works of popular writers often have a lot of readers.

34. What makes it much harder to be a celebrity today?

A. Availability of modern media. B. Lack of social recognition.

C. Lack of favorable chances. D. Huge population of fans.

35. What is the author’s attitude toward modern celebrity?

A. Sincere.        B. Doubtful.        C. Disapproving.      D. Sympathetic.

Endangered species

An endangered species is a group of animals that could soon become extinct. ____36____ Many species are nearly extinct and could disappear off the face of the earth very soon if we don’t do anything to save them. There are many reasons why species become endangered.

Habitat destruction is the main reason why animals become endangered and this happens in two ways. When humans move into a new area, the animals’ habitat is destroyed and there is nowhere for them to live and nothing to eat because humans chop down trees and build houses and farms. ____37____ Chemicals in rivers and poisons on farms cause the destruction of animals’ homes and food supplies.

Endangered species are also the result of hunting and fishing. Animals have been brought to the edge of extinction because they are killed for their highly-valued meat, fur, bones or skin, or just for sport. ____38____

____39____ We should take care not to pollute natural areas, and farmers or companies who destroy animal habitats should face severe financial penalties. The public can help out by refusing to buy any products made from these animals’ body parts. Governments can help, too, by making it against the law to hunt, fish or trade in endangered species. They can also provide funding for animal sanctuaries (禁猎区), to protect animals from extinction by breeding more endangered animals, which they later release into the wild. ____40____

A. Animal habitats are also destroyed because of pollution.

B. Eventually, all the creatures on Earth will enjoy being together.

C. Recent changes, however, have helped to improve the situation.

D. So what can individuals and governments do to protect endangered species?

E. Extinction happens when the last of the species has died out and there will be no more.

F. If we all cooperate and take these steps, we will protect these animals for future generations.

G. Overfishing has resulted in many large sea creatures becoming endangered species, like sharks.

There is no doubt whether it is of great help to their study and future life. Besides, others hold the view that it is against the development of their ability to live independently.

My Favourite Sport

Sport is an important part of my daily life. I am interested in many sports, but running is my favourite. I have been in love with this exciting sport for over three years.

To be honest, I didn’t like running at first because I thought it was boring and tiring. However, I was told that it was a great way to keep fit. So I had a try. It was really tiring, but I still kept running every day. As a result, I am all the more healthy. It turned out to be a good sport worth my time and effort.

I love running because it helps me lose weight and keep fit. Besides, running is a kind of training of my persistence and willpower. It shapes both my body and my mind. Since running is a sport that is of great benefit to me, I see no reason to give it up in the future.
