                 The meaning of the word "volunteer " may be a little different in different countries, but it usually means "
              one who offers his or her services."There are many different ways in which people can volunteer, such as taking care of sick people, working in homes for homeless children, and picking up garbage(垃圾) from beaches and parks. Volunteers may work within their own countries or in other countries. They are often people with a strong wish to help those who are less fortunate than themselves. Volunteers don’t expect any kind of pay.
                 At the root of volunteering is the idea that one person may have the ability to offer services that can help other people. Tracy, a good friend of mine, however, recently came back from India with a new idea of
              what being a volunteer means. She worked for two and a half weeks in one of Mother Teresa’s homes in Calcutta（加尔各答）. The following is her story.
                 "I first heard about Mother Teresa in my high school, we watched a video(录像) about her work in India and all over the world. I was so moved by her spirit to help others and her endless love for every human
              being that after I graduated from high school, I too wanted to try her kind of work. So with two friends I
              flew to Calcutta for a few weeks."
                "I was asked to work in a home for sick people. I helped wash clothes and sheets, and pass out lunch. I also fed the people who were too weak to feed themselves and tried to cheer them up. I felt it was better
              to share with them than to think that I have helped them. To be honest, I don’t think I was helping very
              much. It was then that I realized that I had not really come to help, but to learn about and experience another culture that helped improve my own understanding of life and the world."


              1. According to the text, a volunteer refers to a person who ______.
              A. is willing to help those in need without pay
              B. can afford to travel to different places
              C. has a strong wish to be successful
              D. has made a lot of money in life
              2. Tracy started her work as a volunteer ______.
              A. after she met Mother Teresa
              B. after she finished high school
              C. when she was touring Calcutta
              D. when she was working in a hospital
              3. Why did Tracy choose to be a volunteer?
              A. She liked to work with Mother Teresa.
              B. She had already had some experience.
              C. She was asked by Mother Teresa.
              D. She wanted to follow Mother Teresa’s example.

            • 2．      The trip to the United State opened my eyes to the fact that there are a lot of similarities as well as
              differences between American youth and French youth.
                   The first difference is in appearance. Going around in the U.S., I found that American youth do not
              really care about their appearance. In the morning, they choose something in their closet and wear it with
              another thing, often of different colors and styles, without wondering whether their choices make them
              look strange. The reason behind this is that they don't care what people look like, but are just interested
              in their ideas. I think it's great, but it also causes problems. Since they don't care about their appearance,
              they don't really care about their weight. Often they get fat without realizing it.
                   There are differences in relationships too. When the American youth fall in love, they don't really think
              of the future. Also, there are differences in the rules concerning behavior that is allowed. In some respects, the French are more accepting. For example, in America it is generally unacceptable to make physical
              display of love. Lovers, actually, can't kiss or hold each other everywhere they want. People think that not showing love in public places is a way to respect others. On the contrary, the French youth can do almost everything they want.
                   As for other types of relationships, there are also big differences. Americans act differently from
              French people in front of unknown people. When an American girl, for example, arrives in front of people she has never met before, she will talk with them, trying to create a kind of tie between her and this new
              circle of people. The French girls will just think about rather than really do this kind of thing because they
              are too shy and lacking in self-confidence.
                   To finish, I noticed that in American classes, when pupils want to say or ask something, they just do it.  In general, they don't really care how the others will judge them. In France, it's not the same case. If somebody wants to ask something, he/she will think about it before speaking up. I appreciate the freedom in Americans' behavior, ideas, and ways of expressing themselves.
              1. The underlined word "respects" in the third paragraph probably means____.
              A. approaches    
              B. aspects  
              C. honors      
              D. means
              2. When American youth fall in love with each other, they _________.
              A. will not hold each other
              B. will rarely display their love in public
              C. will always think about their future
              D. will kiss wherever they like
              3. It can be inferred from the passage that French youth may think more about ______.
              A. their relationship's future    
              B. their public images
              C. their physical displays      
              D. their lover's ideas
              4. The passage is mainly about the______ between American youth and French youth.
              A. differences    
              B. friendship    
              C. similarities    
              D. relationships

                   Today we will talk about expressions with "apple". "Apple pie order" means very well organized.
              Nobody is sure when and where this expression began. It is said that the women of New England loved
              to have everything in its place, especially when they were making apple pie.
                   Another expression "apple of discord" describes the opposite condition. The ancient story says that
              all the gods and goddesses were celebrating a marriage when Discord, one of the gods, threw a golden
              apple on the table which was to be given as a prize to the most beautiful goddess. How could they
              choose among Juno, Minerva and Venus? When Paris decided to give the golden apple to Venus, Juno
              and Minerva were very angry and threatened(威胁)him. This began the long Trojan War.
                   Calling a tomato "a love apple" was a mistake. In the sixteenth century, Spain imported the tomato
              from South America to Morocco, and then Italian businessmen took it to Italy. The Italian name for the
              tomato was pomo di Moro-apple of the Moors(荒野). When French growers imported it from Italy,
              they thought di Moro meant d'amour, the French word for love. And so pomo di Moro became the
              apple of love.
                   People believe many things about the apple. One belief is that it has great powers of keeping people
              healthy. "An apple a day keeps the doctor away." Another belief is based on fact. "One rotten apple
              spoils the barrel." The expression has come to mean that one bad person in a group can cause everyone
              to act badly.
              1. Which of the following expressions means badly organized?
              A. Apple pie order.
              B. Apple of discord.
              C. An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
              D. One rotten apple spoils the barrel.
              2. Which of the following statements is WRONG?
              A. Discord is the name of a god.
              B. Di Moro means love in Italian.
              C. "Apple pie order" means very well organized.
              D. Many people believe apples can keep them healthy.
              3. We can most probably hear this passage in a radio program about ______.
              A. famous people in America
              B. traveling in America
              C. eating in America
              D. words and their stories

                   When we talk about a bad man, we like to call him a “wolf”. But is it really true that the wolf stands for
              devil and ugliness？
                   Have you read the book “The Wolf Totem” by a famous writer Jiang Rong, which tells the story of the
              relationship between wolves and human beings? Have you ever_1_the wolves' world? If you had, you
              would    2   the wolves.
                   In the book, wolves are heroes on the large grassland. They know more about   3   than humans. They
              can attack lambs (羔羊) without disturbing their mothers. They also know how to  4   full use of the shape
              of land to  5   sheep. I believe that if wolves were humans, they would be   6   experts good at fighting.
                   The wolf is a kind of special creature that can deeply understand    7  . Each wolf serves its group with
              its heart and soul. A   8   wolf has little power, but a pack of wolves  9   nothing. All the wolves obey the
              rules.    10  they are defeated, they run away together. It is their teamwork  11  makes wolves powerful.
                   The wolves also have great self-respect and won't   12   to anyone. The writer, who wrote the book
              “The Wolf Totem”, 13   stole a one-month-old baby wolf and raised it very carefully. To his 14  , he found
              the little wolf still wanted to go back with   15   wolves. He bit through the iron chain that limited him. The
              wolf was 16   and he never gave in, fighting   17   his death. The little wolf died as a glorious fighter.
                   I was shocked by this kind of  18   : wolves are one of the most respected creatures on earth. I want
              everyone to look at wolves in a   19   way. They are our teachers. They show us how to survive and   20  
              in this not simple and dangerous world. Please honor the wolves, please honor all these heroes of nature!

                                                                   One Canada, Two Languages
                   Canada is one of the few nations in the world to have two official languages: English and French. There are 10 provinces in the country but only one of these-Quebec is known as "French Canada". This is
              because it was founded by French explorers while British adventurers discovered the rest.?
                   Canada left the British empire (帝国) in 1867 to become an independent country, and English and
              French have been recognized as the official languages ever since.?
                   Most people speak English as their first language and the two national television networks broadcast
              in English throughout the country. Apart from in Quebec and a few places on the east coast, French
              television is very rare.?
                   The same goes for traffic signs and menus. For example, outside of Quebec, there are only a few
              places where you'll see traffic signs in French. In restaurants, it's almost impossible to find French on the
              menu unless you are in the heartland (中心地带) of French Canada. However, all products sold in
              Canada must, by law, have labels (标签) and instructions in both languages.?
                   In Canada's English speaking provinces, official bilingualism (双语) means that students can choose
              to complete a special French language course. Under this programme, they are taught most of their
              subjects in French.?
                   If a student begins the course in kindergarten (幼儿园) or Grade One, it is likely that all their lessons
              will be in French. However, if they start at junior high school,25 per cent of the teaching will continue to
              be in English.?
              1. How many provinces are there in Canada?
              A. Ten.
              B. Nine.
              C. Eleven.
              D.Two.?
              2. Which country controlled Canada before its independence?
              A. France.
              B. Britain.
              C. America.
              D. Germany.?
              3. Which of the following sentences is right??
              A. English is the only official language,though French is also spoken there.?
              B. The two national television networks broadcast both in English and French.?
              C. All products sold in Canada must,by law,have labels and instructions in both English and French.?
              D. The lessons in kindergarten or Grade One are likely to be only in English.?

                   Canada is a very large country. It is the second largest
              country in the world.  By contrast (比较) it has a very small
              population.  There are only about 29 million people ( by the year
              1996)there. Most Canadians are of British or French origin, and
              French is an officiallanguage of Canada as well as English.  About
              45% of the people are of British origin, that is, they or their
              parents or grandparents, etc. come from Britain. Nearly 30% are
              of French origin. Most of the French-Canadians live in the
              province of Quebec.
                   Over the years, people have come to live in Canada from
              many countries in the world. They are from most European
              countries and also from China, besides other Asian countries.
                 However, Canada was not an empty country when the
              Europeans began to arrive. Canadian Indians lived along the
              coast, by the rivers and lakes and in forests. Today there are only
              about 350,000 Indians in the whole country, with their own
              languages. In the far north live the Inuit. There are only 27,000
              Canadian-Inuit. Their life is hard in such a harsh climate.

              C. 29 ,000 ,000  people
              D. 8 ,700,000 French-Canadians
              2. The official languages of Canada are ____.
              A. English and Chinese
              B. French and English
              C.Indian and English
              D. Chinese and Inuit

              D. 猿人
              4. Which of the following is TRUE according to this passage?
              A. There are 27,000 Canadian-Indians in Canada.
              B. More than 13 million people have come from Britain and France in recent years.

                   People celebrate birthdays in almost every country on earth. And they celebrate them in many
              different ways.
                   In China and in Japan, for example, the arrival of New Year is more important than a person's
              birthday. So everyone adds a year to celebrate their ages on New Year's Day, instead of on their
              birthdays,
                   In Brazil, the special birthday food isn't cake, but special candles. In China, it's long noodles-for
              long life. In Iceland, people have pancakes with candies rolled inside them on birthdays.
                   In Britain, a birthday is an all-day celebration. At school, the birthday child is lifted up and "bumped"
              by his classmates. This means the child is lifted by the feet and arms and bumped to the ground, once for
              each year once for good growth. In Israel, the same custom is followed, except the birthday person is
              lifted and lowered while sitting in a chair.
                   In Holland, children not only get presents, but also give things out. They give cakes, cookies and
              candles to their classmates and teachers on their birthdays.
                   In Mexico, it's good luck to give birthday greetings as early in the day as possible. So it's usual for the
              birthday child to be woken up at midnight by fiends singing birthday songs.
              In India, birthday celebrations also begin before dawn. Prayers and blessings must be said before morning comes.
                   In Thailand, two tall candles are lighted the night before the birthday. One is as tall as the birthday
              person. If it goes out early, it's bad luck. Another customs of Thailand is that they buy live fish and birds
              for the birthday person and then the birthday person frees the animals, and it brings good luck.
                   In Nigeria, people in a certain age group celebrate their birthdays together, on a certain day.
                   In many countries birthday customs are changing. Old customs are giving way to western style of
              birthdays, with candletopped cakes. But one thing never changes-birthdays are special days for everyone!

                   English is fast becoming the language of science around the world, but what is its future among
              everyday speakers? One expert points out that the percentage(比率) of native English speakers is
              declining (降低) globally while the languages of other rapidly growing regions are being spoken by
              increasing numbers of people. But English will continue to remain widespread and important.     
                   However, British language scholar David Graddol says English will probably drop in dominance (主导) by the middle of this century to rank, after Chinese, about equally with Arabic, Hindi, and Urdu. "The
              number of people speaking English as a first language continues to rise, but it isn't rising nearly as fast as the numbers of many other languages around the world, simply because the main population group has been
              largely in the less developed countries where languages other than English have been spoken,' he says.    
                   In a recent article in the journal Science, Mr. Graddol noted that three languages that are not near the
              top of the list of the most widely spoken now might be there soon. These are Bengali, Tamil, and Malay,
              spoken in south and Southeast Asia.     
                   David Crystal, the author of the Cambridge Encyclopedia of the English Language, says about 1.5
              billion of the world's six billion people speak it as a second tongue compared to the 400 million native
              speakers. But another expert on the English language says Mr. Graddol underestimates (低估) the future
              of its dominance. "Nobody quite knows what's going to happen because no language has been in this
              position before. But all the evidence (证据) suggests that the English language snowball is rolling down a
              hill and is getting faster,'               he said. 
              1. In David Graddol's opinion, English will _____.    
              A. remain widespread and important    
              B. be more important than any other language    
              C. lose its dominant position    
              D. die away in the near future
              2. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph implies that _____.    
              A. snowballs will roll down faster than language balls    
              B. the English language snowball is rolling down faster than any time in the past    
              C. English language will soon drop in dominance    
              D. more and more language users will choose English
              3. How many experts does the passage mention who express their ideas about the future of English?    
              A. 2.            
              B. 3.          
              C. 4.            
              D. 5.
              4. According to David Graddol, which of the following will possibly be one of the languages that will be most widely spoken?     
              A. Malay.    
              B. Arabic.    
              C. Urdu.        
              D. German.
              5. What should be the best title for the passage?    
              A. English Remaining the Dominant Position    
              B. The Future of English? Who Knows?    
              C. Opinions from Different Experts    
              D. The English Language Snowball Rolling Down
