              In Pride and Prejudice (1813), an evergreen (永葆活力的) novel, Jane Austen wrote a story that has some sad truths to tell on the way to its happy ending.

              Austen's tales belong to the world of the late 18th­century England. They are filled with characters like those she knew: young women who are trying to find a way to be happy, usually through marriage, in a world dominated (统治) by men.

              Two bachelors, charming Mr Bingley and sour Mr Darcy, come to Netherfield Park where they immediately become the focus of unmarried young women of the community. Jane Bennet and Mr Bingley soon fall in love, but Jane's sister Elizabeth finds that she can't get on with Mr Darcy at all. It seems to the reader that they are opposites in every way, he all prides and she all prejudices.

              Of course, Elizabeth and Darcy must end up together: everyone knows that opposites attract. But before that happens there are many obstacles to overcome, and not only for the two main characters. Jane and Bingley's romance does not run smoothly, while young Lydia and her lover, the ne'er­do­well (不成器的) Mr Wickham, cause a scandal (丑闻) that threatens the social standing of the Bennet family.

              The quality that draws people to this book is its lightness of touch. We care for the characters and wish for their happiness. But Jane Austen does not tell us that one character is bad and that another is good. She does not preach (说教) to us. She uses irony (讽刺); that is, she manages to convey what she thinks by saying nearly the opposite of what she means.

              The most famous example of this is the opening sentence of the novel: “It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.” The sentence is funny and witty (诙谐的) because in reality it is the other way around: the real truth is that a single woman with no money needs a husband.

              Funny, but serious too. It is not a joke that women like Elizabeth and Jane had no money  and couldn't be independent. It is not amusing that they had so little choice in life while the men had the run of everything. Pride and Prejudice communicated this truth even as it amuses and entertains us.

              People in the United States honour their parents with two special days: Mother's Day, on the second Sunday in May, and Father's Day, on the third Sunday in June. These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens. They give love and care to their children. These two days offer an opportunity to think about the changing roles of mothers and
              fathers. More mothers now work outside the home. More fathers must help with childcare.

              These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mother's Day people wear carnations.A red one symbolizes a living mother.  A white one shows that mother is dead. Many people attend religious services to honour their parents.  It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery(墓地).  On these days families get together at home, as well as in restaurants. They often have outdoor barbecues(烤肉)for Father's Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.

              Another tradition is to give cards and gifts.  Children make them in school. Many people make their own presents. These are valued more than the ones bought in stores. It is not the value of the gift that is important, but it is "the thought that counts". Greeting card stores, florists(花商),candy makers, bakeries, telephone companies, and other stores do a lot of business during these holidays.

                  Celebrations spread across China when Shanghai, the Oriental Pearl, was given the right to host the 2010
              World Expo (世博会) on December 3.
                  Shanghai won the honor after beating rivals from Russia, Mexico, Poland and South Korea.
                  "I'm very proud of being Chinese," said Wang Kaibo, a Senior 2 student of the Middle School Affiliated (隶
              属) to Beijing Medical University. "The winning of the expo is a victory, not only for Shanghai residents, but
              for the people of the whole Chinese nation."
                  Bidding (申办) for the expo shows that China is more confident of playing a more important role on the
              international stage. It's competing for large events and the next one could be the World Cup, Wang said.
                  The World Expo 2010 and the 2008 Beijing Olympics will become the twin shining stars of China's
              development over the next 10 years, said experts.
                  The World Expo is known as"Olympics of the economic, cultural, scientific and technological fields." It is
              usually held every five years and lasts for six months.
                  The Olympics, World Cup and World Expo are considered three top international events in the world. China
              is the first developing country to win the expo bid in the event's 151-year history. Not only will it attract more
              foreign investment to China, but experts say that the half-year-long exhibition will bring at least 70 million
              visitors to Shanghai.
                  The World Expo is a great event for different countries to exchange social, economic, cultural and scientific
              achievements, and also help to encourage new technology and ideas. The expo was first held in London in
              1851. It has a history of global influence. The Eiffel Tower, built during the Paris World Expo in 1889, became
              the symbol of the French capital. Many historic inventions, such as the telephone and airplane, all made their
              first appearance at a World Expo.
              1. What does the underlined word "rivals" probably mean in the second paragraph?
              [     ]

              A. competitors

                  Today, roller skating (滑冰) is easy and fun. But a long time ago, it wasn't easy at all. Before 1750, the
              idea of skating didn't exist. That changed because of a man named Joseph Merlin. Merlin's work was making
              musical instruments. In his spare time he liked to play the violin. Joseph Merlin was a man of ideas and dreams.
              People called him a dreamer.
                  One day Merlin received an invitation to attend a fancy dress ball. He was very pleased and a little excited.
              As the day of the party came near, Merlin began to think how to make a grand entrance at the party. He had
              an idea. He thought he would get a lot of attention if he could skate into the room. 
                  Merlin tried different ways to make himself roll. Finally, he decided to put two wheels under each shoe.
              These were the first roller skates. Merlin was very proud of his invention and dreamed of arriving at the party
              on wheels while playing the violin.
                  On the night of the party Merlin rolled into the room playing his violin. Everyone was astonished to see him.
              There was just one problem. Merlin had no way to stop his roller skates. He rolled on and on. Suddenly, he
              ran into a huge mirror that was hanging on the wall. Down fell the mirror, breaking to pieces. Nobody forgot
              Merlin's grand entrance for a long time!

                  Rescue (救援) workers at the San Jose gold and copper mine in northern Chile had reason to sing this
              week. A small hole drilled into the earth became a passage to freedom for thirty-three trapped miners. They
              spent sixty-nine days underground. "Never have people been trapped for so long so deeply," says a doctor at
              NASA, the American space agency, which helped in the rescue.
                  But the chief medical officer for the miners said most are in good enough health to leave the hospital within
              a day or so. The first three were released from the hospital Thursday night.
                  For much of the day the miners relaxed with Chilean President Sebastian Pinera. The thirty-two Chileans
              and one Bolivian still wore special sunglasses to protect their eyes.
                  A partial mine collapse (坍塌) on 5th of August trapped them more than half a kilometer underground.
              They had to stretch a two-day food supply. For two weeks no one knew if they were alive or dead.
                  Later, they received supplies (供给) and a video link lowered through drill holes. That link was how Ariel
              Ticona watched his wife give birth to their daughter.
                  The miners have apparently agreed to share the money they earn from selling their story.
                  They have already received gifts of money and travel offers. Edison Pena has been invited to the New York
              City Marathon and to Graceland, the home of Elvis Presley in Memphis, Tennessee. Mr.Pena described how
              he ran in the mine tunnels to ease the stress. And he led the miners in singing Elvis songs.
                  The first miner rescued on Wednesday was Florencio Avalos. The second was Mario Sepulveda, who talked
              about how the experience tested his faith. He said:"I was with God and I was with the devil, they fought me,
              but God won. He took me by my best hand, the hand of God."
                  The last miner up was Luis Urzua. He was the shift leader when his crew became trapped.
                  Rescuers used a metal cage to pull the miners to safety in less than twenty-four hours-faster than expected.
              The rescue capsule was a half-meter wide and known as the Phoenix.  
              1. How many miners had been rescued according to the report?

                  Many large cities in the United States have an area called Chinatown. Each of them was set up by people
              who came from China. For example, Chinatown in San Francisco, California, began in the 1840s. The Chinese
              immigrants came to America to look for gold. Then the area they lived in later became known as Chinatown.
                  Chinatowns were also set up in cities in the western states of Oregon and Washington during the middle of
              the 19th century. Many Chinese immigrants in these areas helped build the first railroad system across the
              United States. However, after the work ended in 1869, many Chinese moved to the eastern and middle parts
              of the United States.
                  Chinatowns can also be found in cities outside the United States. For example, the first Chinese immigrants
              in London arrived in the late 18th century. They were men who worked for the East India Company. Later,
              the Chinese immigrants opened small stores and restaurants there.
                  Today, many people visit Chinatown. It has special Chinese gates and walking areas for visitors. Chinatowns
              around the world are not only places where Chinese people live and work. They are also places where visitors
              can learn more about Chinese culture and traditions.

                  The Peales were a famous family of American artists. Charles Willson Peale is best remembered for his
              portraits of leading figures of the American Revolution. He painted portraits of Franklin and Jefferson and
              over a dozen of George Washington. His life-size portrait of his sons Raphaelle and Titian was so realistic
              that George Washington reportedly once tipped his hat to the figures in the picture.
                  Charles Willson Peale gave up painting in his middle age and devoted his life to the Peale museum, which
              he founded in Philadelphia. The world's first popular museum of art and natural science mainly covered
              paintings by Peale and his family as well as displays of animals in their natural settings. Peale found the animals
              himself and found a method to make the exhibits more lifelike. The museum's most popular display was the
              skeleton of a huge, extinct elephant, which Peale unearthed on a New York farm in 1801.
                  Three of Peale's seventeen children were also famous artists. Paphaelle Peale often painted still lives of
              flowers, fruit, and cheese. His brother Rembrandt studied under his father and painted portraits of many
              noted people, including one of George Washington. Another brother, Rubens Peale, painted mostly landscapes
              and portraits.
                  James Peale, the brother of Charles Willson Peale, specialized in miniatures (小画像). His daughter Sarah
              Miriam Peale was probably the first professional female portrait painter in America.

                  A "lost tribe" that reached America from Australia may have been the first Native
              Americans, according to a new theory.
                  If proved by DNA evidence, the theory will break long established beliefs about the
              southerly migration of people who entered America across the Bering Strait, found it
              empty and occupied it.
                  On this theory rests the belief of Native Americans to have been the first true
              Americans. They would be classified to the ranks of escapee, beaten to the New World by
              Aboriginals (土著人) in boats.
                  To a European, this may seem like an academic argument, but to Americans it is a
              philosophical question about identity, Silvia Gonzales, of Liverpool University said.
                  Her claims are based on skeletons found in the California Peninsula of Mexico that
              have skulls quite unlike the broad Mongolian features of Native Americans. These narrow-
              skulled people have more in common with southern Asians, Aboriginal Australians and people
              of the South Pacific Region.
                  The bones, stored at the National Museum of Anthropology (人类学) in Mexico City,
              have been carbon-dated and one is 12,700 years old, which places it several thousand
              years before the arrival of people from the North. "We think there were several migration
              waves into the Americas at different times by different human groups," Dr. Gonzales said.
              "The timing, route and point of origin of the first colonization of the Americas remains
              a most contentious topic in human evolution."
                  But comparisons based on skull shape are not considered conclusive by anthropologists,
              so a team of Mexican and British scientists, backed by the Natural Environment Research
              Council, has also attempted to take out DNA from the bones. Dr. Gonzales declined yesterday
              to say exactly what the results were, as they need to be checked, but indicated that they
              were consistent (一致) with an Australian origin.
              1. It is generally considered that the first Native Americans came from ______.
              [     ]

              A. North Asia
              B. Australia
              C. South Pacific
              D. South Asia
              2. The skeletons found in the California Peninsula of Mexico have ______.
              [     ]

              A. the broad skull shape
              B. the narrow skull shape
              C. different features of Aboriginal Australians
              D. the same features of Native Americans
              3. The underlined "contentious" is similar in meaning to "______".
              [     ]

              A. likely to cause great interest
              B. difficult to solve
              C. well-known to all
              D. likely to cause argument
              4. Which of the following statements is true according to the text?
              [     ]

              A. Research on skulls can draw an exact conclusion.
              B. DNA tests have proved the fact that the first Native Americans came from Australian.
              C. Scientists are still not sure about the origin of the Native Americans.
              D. People began to enter America across the Bering Strait about 12,700 years ago.

                  On February 3rd, 1949, New York Harbor (港) was an exciting place. Many people were there to greet a
              ship from France. On the ship were 49 French railroad boxcars (火车车厢) filled with gifts from the people
              of France to the people of America. These boxcars were from the famous Merci Train (Merci: a French word
              meaning "thank you").
                  After World War II (二战), a lot of factories, roads and farms in France had been destroyed. Many French
              people had no jobs or money and had little to wear and little to eat. In the winter of 1947, a train was sent
              across the United States, stopping in cities and towns along the way. At every stop, people gave whatever they
              could. Factories gave clothing and medicine. Farmers gave food. Families gave money. Even school children
              gave away their pocket money (零用钱). All the things were then taken to France by ship.
                  By 1949, the French had begun to recover (恢复) from the war. The Merci Train was their way of saying
              "thank you" to America. French people had filled the boxcars with gifts. Most of them were personal, like hand-
              made toys, children's drawings, or postcards. But the boxcars themselves were perhaps the most meaningful
              of the gifts. On each car, the French people had painted the pictures of all their 40 provinces with an American
              eagle on the front. The boxcars were taken to each state of America, where they were warmly greeted. 
                  Now many of the states still keep their boxcars. Gifts sent by the French people can still be seen in some
              museums. The Merci Train came out of the war, but it now reminds the world that countries can also work
              together in peace (和平).
              1. Many people crowded at New York Harbor on February 3rd, 1949 to _____.
