              Do you ever run out of great books to read? So what should I read next? Is fast-paced crime fiction your thing?
              Try the new Patricia Cornwell book, Scarpetta（Putnam）. She is such an able writer and handles complex forensic（法庭的） intelligence with ease. You need to be prepared, though, for the world you're entering—this isn't for the faint of heart, let's say.
              If peace is more your thing, try Mary Pipher's wonderful new book, Seeking Peace: Chronicles of the Worst Buddhist in the World （Riverhead）. Mary is a lovely, comfortable writer who takes the reader through her personal awakening after reputation and fortune came her way. Even if you've never experienced life as a bestselling writer （as she has done, in her book years back, Reviving Ophelia）, you'll totally understand and sympathize with her renewed need for privacy, distance and quiet.
              What if you want a straightforward, totally thrilling read with vivid characters, set about World War II? You cannot go wrong with Jim Lehrer's new novel, Oh, Johnny（Random House）, about a young Marine whose life is changed forever when he meets a woman on his way to war. His relationship with her lasts him through danger and hardship, and there's an impressive ending. See our interview with the productive novelist/newsman in the current issue of Reader's Digest （March, on stands now）, by the way, for insight into the very talented Mr. Lehrer and what interests him.
              Well, what about something wickedly funny and totally offbeat? Does the name Carrie Fisher do anything for you? Try her vivid and new life in Hollywood and elsewhere, Wishful Drinking（Simon & Schuster）. Be prepared for humor as sharp as knives.
              小题1: What does the writer want to tell us by the underlined sentence?
              A．The world is complex and hard.B．Scarpetta is a thriller.

              小题3: To get further information about Jim Lehrer, you may________.
              A．go to Reader’s Digest issued in MarchB．go to Random House

              A． Seeking Peace.B．Reviving Ophelia.
              C．Wishful Drinking.D．Oh, Johnny.

              I was loading (装载) my truck to go to the market when I hurt my left eye. The pain was like a hot sword(剑) being shoved through my head. I fell down on my hands and knees, and I knew it was bad.
              I was taken to the Erlanger Hospital in Chattanooga, and the doctors operated on me several times but couldn’t save my left eye. When they told me the news, I wanted to die.
              Even after I got my fake（假的） eye, I couldn’t shake the sadness. To make matters worse, I lost my job as a transportation officer because of my lost eye. But one morning, I woke up and the TV was on, and there was a 16-year-old girl who had been badly burned on her face and legs. Her situation was much worse than mine. She wore a big smile and seemed to look right at me and said, “You can’t ever give up.” At that moment, I thought, “This is just an eye. Get over it.” And I did.
              It’s been almost 12 years since my accident, and there’s nothing I can’t do now that I used to do. And although I didn’t get my old job back, I got my license again.
              I read a story once. In that story, a man was feeling bad because he had no shoes until he met a man who had no feet. No matter how terrible your problem is, remember there’s always someone somewhere who’s worse off. So cheer up and smile at life!

              A．he decided to refuse the fake eyeB．he accepted the fact immediately
              C．he decided to live a happier lifeD．he felt extremely sad
              小题3:What can we learn from the passage?
              A．The writer got his old job backB．The writer can’t see things clearly
              C．The writer is not strong-mindedD．The writer has got over the accident
              小题4:By writing his story, the writer most probably wants to _______.
              A．tell us his unusual experience
              B．ask people to help the disabled
              C．advised us to be positive（积极乐观的） about life

              IN a 30-minute film called The Chase, a girl tries to catch a thief and finally takes him down with martial arts (武术) skills.
              Anything special? Thirteen-year-old US girl Sophia Tran wrote, shot and performed in the film. She played the girl in the movie and her father, Steven, played the thief.
              Now an eighth-grader at Ladera Ranch Middle School, California, Tran wrote The Chase over the summer of 2008. She shot the film in the fall of 2008 before holding the premiere (首映式) at her home in January the next year.
              “It is important to have passion in filmmaking or you are not going to make it,” the quiet teenager said with a smile. “Also, you should read a lot of books about filmmaking.”
              Tran thinks that many screenplays don't have any “suspense (悬念) as the film progresses.” She is now working on a movie which she says will be a suspense story.
              Steven says his daughter has enjoyed drama and action movies since she was 7.
              “She started to be interested in how stories are adapted (改编) to a screenplay,” Steven said. “And she wrote her own books when she was in second grade.”
              But Tran also has a big heart. She sold DVD copies of her film The Chase for $10 each to family and friends. She then donated $400 from the DVD sales to her school to buy new computers.
              57.   Sophia Tran played _____ in her movie.
              A. a thief          B. a doctor                       C. a girl           D. a police woman
              58.   Sophia Tran shot the film _____.
              A. last year        B. in January                            C. last summer     D. less two years ago
              59.   Sophia Tran thinks ______ are important for successful filmmaking.
              A. characters         B. stories       C. passion and knowledge D. passion and experience
              60. According to Sophia Tran, many screenplays are poorly written because _____.
              A. they don't keep readers excited                      B. they mostly end in an unexpected way
              C. their dialogues are not interesting                   D. they are not inspiring

              Happiness is for everyone. You don’t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads in their free time.
              In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get a success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you.
              Happiness doesn’t mean money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something that can’t be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving（旋转的）door. When it closes, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.
              小题1:When you do something wrong , people around you will    .
              A．quarrel with youB．help you correct it
              C．do something wrong like youD．laugh at you
              小题2:What will your friends say when you make great progress?
              A．Oh, so do IB．Congratulations!
              C．Good luck!D．Just so-so
              小题3: Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
              A．People who have cars would never like to walk in the open air.
              B．You can get help from others when you are in trouble.
              C．You can still be a happy person even if you have little money.
              D．Happiness is always around you though difficulties come towards you.
              小题4:The passage mainly tells us      .
              A．parents always care for our life and health
              B．we’re not happy if we meet with difficulties
              C．happiness is always around us

              Can you understand the beginning of this essay（短文）?
              “My smmr hols wr CWOT. B4, we usd 2go2 NY 2C my bro, his GF & 3 kds FTF.”
              The Scottish teacher who received it in class had no idea what the girl who wrote it meant. The essay was written in a form of English used in cell phone text messages（短信）. Text messages (also called SMS) through cell phones became very popular in the late 1990s. At first, mobile phone companies thought that text messaging would be a good way to send messages to customers, but customers quickly began to use the text messaging service to send messages to each other. Teenagers in particular enjoyed using text messaging, and they began to create a new language for messages called “texting.”
              A text message is limited to 160 characters, including letters, spaces, and numbers, so messages must be kept short. In addition, typing on the small keypad of a cell phone is difficult, so it's common to make words shorter. In texting, a single letter or number can represent（代表） a word, like “r” for “are,” “u” for “you,” and “2” for “to.” Several letters can also represent a phrase, like “lol” for “laughing out loud.” Another characteristic（特征） of  texting is the leaving out of letters in a word, like spelling “please” as “pls.”
              Some parents and teachers worry that texting will make children bad spellers and bad writers. The student who wrote the essay at the top of this page said writing that way was more comfortable for her. (The essay said, “My summer holidays were a complete waste of time. Before, we used to go to New York to see my brother, his girlfriend, and their three kids face to face.”)
              Not everyone agrees that texting is a bad thing. Some experts say languages always develop, and this is just another way in which English is changing. Other people believe texting will disappear soon. New technology for voice messages may soon make text messages a thing of the past.
              1. What is the writer's opinion of text messaging?
              A. The writer does not give his opinions.     
              B. It is not bad for children.
              C. It will make children bad writers. 
              D. It is fun and easy to do.
              2. Which characteristic of texting is NOT described in the passage?  
              A. Using letters to represent words. 
              B. Using phrases to represent essays.
              C. Using letters to represent phrases. 
              D. Using numbers to represent words.
              3. Which of the following was most probably the title of the student's essay?
              A. My Smmr Hols         B. CU in LA          C. My GF              D. My Gr8 Tchr
              4. Why do some people think that texting is bad?
              A. It costs too much.                                        B. It's too difficult to type.
              C. Teenagers won't learn to write correctly.  D. It's not comfortable.
              5. Why aren't some people worried about the effect of texting?
              A. Not many people use texting.        
              B. Spelling in English is too difficult.
              C. Teenagers quickly become bored with texting.      
              D. Texting will disappear because of new technology.

              For a long time, a boy wondered why his next-desk-pal was always the first in the class, whereas he could only rank the 21st. At home, he asked his mom, “Am I more stupid than other kids? How come I always lag behind? I just can’t come up with an answer.” Mom was aware that her son’s self-respect had been damaged by the ranking system, but she didn’t know what to say to help.
              She was tempted (想要) to say that intelligence differs and that yes, her son’s friend really was the smarter boy. But that would have so upset her son. Thank goodness she resisted the temptation to say it.
              Her son and his friend went on to high school that year, but despite trying as hard as he could, her son’s friend still outdid him. But she was proud of her boy for his hard work, sincerely proud. It was around this time she decided to take him on a trip to the seaside. On the trip, she at last found an answer for him.
              Today her son no longer cares about rankings. He doesn’t have to, for he himself is now the top of the class – at the top national university he attends. Invited to speak to his old high school, he mentioned a valuable childhood experience: “Once, on a trip to the sea, my mother and I were lying on the beach. She pointed to the sea and said to me: ‘Do you see the seabirds fighting for food out there? When a wave comes near, the little birds rise quickly. The “clumsy” seagulls (海鸥) are far less agile (灵活的) and have to struggle to get away from the wave. But these “clumsy” birds prove to have the biggest, strongest wings, which open the widest and allow the bird to travel the furthest. When the season changes, they leave for foreign shores, leaving the little birds behind. Son, I have a feeling that you are one of those seagulls.”
              小题1: From the first paragraph, we could conclude the mother ______.
              A．knew her son was not bright enough
              B．saw the negative effects of the ranking system
              C．decided to help with her son’s school work
              D．was troubled by her son’s low rankings
              小题2:The mom was glad she didn’t give an answer at first because ______.
              A．she knew her son would forget his rankings soon
              B．she felt intelligence doesn’t mean everything
              C．she knew he was not strong enough for the truth
              D．she wanted to avoid another blow to her son’s self-respect
              小题3:The story conveys the message that ______.
              a. only rankings show intelligence
              b. hard work and confidence can lead to a change in rankings
              c. parents should see children’s strengths and encourage them
              d. competition between students is good for society
              A．bc B．cd C．abc D．bcd
              小题4: Which of the following would be the best title for the story?
              A．How important are rankings?
              B．Little birds and seagulls

              We could all see the Murray Uiver slowly moving back, but now all the water was gone . I couldn’t believe that the Murray had dried up, not one drop of water left.
              One morning I went down to the river to try and catch some fish when I saw my boat high and dry (搁浅) on the bank . I rushed down the river and saw all mud—no water . The fish were just lying there, dying . I looked up to see if my friend was there . There was the nest but no eagle（鹰）. I called out to her with my special whistle which I made out of steel.
              Suddenly a big shadow came over to me and the eagle landed in her nest and gave her young the food she was out getting while I whistled. But then I suddenly noticed she was getting thinner and had a bit of sheep’s wool in the side of her talon（利爪）. It was deadly quiet by the river bank , except for some sound from my dog. And also I couldn’t see one native animal or bird.
              When I walked inside the kitchen. Mum and Dad had sad looks on their faces. “It’s time for us to move ,Son, because the river can no longer provide for（养活）us,” said Dad . I ran out of the kitchen door with tears in my eyes , and down to the river bank, to my favorite spot. I said goodbye to my eagle , crying.
              When it was time to go , I saw my eagle fly up into the air with her chicks in her talons , going away to try and find another home ,just like us.

              During my first stay in the south of France, I rode my bike down a quiet road. Round a corner, I passed by a little old house. In its yard, there was a ruddy (气色好的) -faced woman. I waved at her as I went by, and she must have thought I was some silly tourist, because she didn’t wave back.
              The same thing happened the second day. But on the third day, the old woman returned a tentative（试探性的）wave, and by the fourth day, she nearly got out of her chair as I called out.
              “Good morning, Madam!” It became a small ritual (程序) between us. Once she even brought her husband out with her, and they both waved to me.
              On my last day, my last ride, I cycled down to the little house but the lady wasn’t there. Back at my house, I told Roger, the gardener, of my missed connection.
              “The old lady has a bad leg,” Roger said, “so she has gone to the hospital for surgery.”
              “Who is she?” I asked.
              Roger started to explain: the quiet road used to be a railway. The old lady’ husband was once the stationmaster, and their house was the stationmaster’s house. Several times a day, whenever a train passed, the couple would see the passengers waving excitedly, especially the children for them. However, the station was moved away. Everything is gone except for this couple.
              It seems that my bicycle was a reminder of the past to her. As Roger said, “ She has missed the trains and the waves. You brought them back to her.”
              By reaching out, in a way that cost me nothing, I gave more than I realized.

              第三部分：阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
              阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
              One of today’s hottest topics among women (and to an extent among men too now) is anti aging and how to reverse the signs of age. The beauty industry has responded to this by offering a wide collection of anti aging creams and other anti aging products aimed at all pocketbooks, ranging from economical to highly priced.
              And the question is “do any of these often much-vaunted(被过度吹嘘的) anti aging creams actually work?” And if they do, how precisely do they perform their miracles?
              Well, the appropriate response to that is that they do work—after a fashion. There certainly are anti aging creams available for a relatively modest price that will reduce the appearance of wrinkles in a comparatively short period of regular application. But this really is the limit of their powers: they won’t actually undo skin damage or eradicate(根除) all signs of age; they will simply modify them, some more effectively than others.
              The way they work is like so: they remove upper layers of dead skin cells and make deeper layers absorb water, serving to plump them up and make them look fuller and healthier. But since such anti aging creams only go skin deep, as it were, skin damage will reappear once you stop using the anti aging wrinkle(皱纹) cream.
              This means fairly heavy regular use, which might be costly depending on your choice of product. However, if you can afford it or think it’s worth the cost, it won’t be such an issue. After all, what woman wants to look older than her years when looking good is so tied up with many women's self-esteem(自尊) and sense of identity.
              A compromise(折中) solution for those on a tighter budget is to use the cheaper creams. In addition, it’s always wise to be a little experimental to make sure you end up with the one that suits your skin best.
              So, to sum up: an anti wrinkle face cream will work within limits, depending on your objective.
