16．Your computer has been playing music for years，one CD at a time．Now hundreds of songs can be stored in your PC if they're in the MP3format（格式）．

What is it？ MP3compressed（壓縮） music into small computer files（文件）．You may download MP3music in several ways．Music can be downloaded from websites that have turned wide music libraries into MP3．Once MP3music is on your PC's hard drive（硬盤），you can play it through your computer's speakers，"burn"it onto blank（空白的） CDs or swap（交換） MP3files with friends using e-mail．

How much？ Software（軟件） needed to play and turn MP3music is often free．Compact portable（小巧便攜的） MP3players start at around $40and can hold hundreds of songs．A blank CD on which you can record music costs about a dollar．

Advantages MP3turns your home PC into a jukebox（自動點唱機）．Small MP3players are the size of a deck of cards（一副紙牌），making it easy to take hundreds of songs with you．

Disadvantages You may find that some websites only allow you to listen but you can't download music．Others let you download music but can't be copied to MP3players．And a growing number of new CDs make it impossible to copy songs to a computer．

15．In September 2013，the China National Tourism  Administration（國家旅游局）issued a new set of tourist guideline in order to improve tourists'behavior when they travel abroad．Although the 64-page  handbook  contains  suggestions for Chinese tourists when traveling at home，the main purpose is to improve the poor reputation（聲譽）of Chinese tourists abroad．
In 2013，more than 83million  Chinese people traveled overseas，up 18percent from the year 2012，according to  the  China  Tourism  Academy．But  even as they travel farther，the Chinese tourists continue to take bad habits with them．From damaging ancient Egyptian temples to letting children defecate（排便）in the  middle  of airports，Chinese tourists have earned a bad fame．Chinese Vice-Premier Wang Yang even  stressed  the  need for Chinese tourists to behave better while traveling overseas so as to protect China's image abroad．
Now with the latest"guidebook"，Chinese travelers should have no excuse for rude behavior．According to the guidelines，when using the restroom，Chinese tourists are asked not to forget to flush the toilet after using it．
The guidelines also remind tourists of not fighting with others  when they want to take pictures at tourist attractions．When flying，the guidelines advise  travelers  not to take life vests（救生衣）away from airplanes．
Chinese tourists are also encouraged to be respectful of local customs wherever they travel．In the United Kingdom，for example，it is not polite to ask people．Where are you going？"or"Have you eaten？"，the handbook says．
Nevertheless，with a very short history of traveling overseas，it is not surprising that many
Chinese tourists behave badly on their foreign trips．We should give them time的change．

根據(jù)材料內(nèi)容選擇最佳答案，并將其標號填涂在答題卡相應位置．
51．What's the main purpose of the new guideline？A
A．To improve the Chinese tourists'behavior abroad．
B．To guide the Chinese tourists how to travel farther．
C．To introduce the famous places of interest all over the world．
D．To give suggestions to Chinese tourists when traveling at home．
52．How many people traveled abroad in 2012？D
A．About 83million．
B．About 18million．
C．About 98million．
D．About 70million．．

B．Try to be polite both at home and abroad．
C．Ask questions when they meet with difficulty．
D．Take the guidebook with them when traveling abroad．
55．Why is it not surprising for some Chinese tourists to behave badly abroad？D
A．They can't speak foreign languages．
B．They don't get trained before traveling abroad．
C．They don't understand local people and culture．
D．China has a very short history of overseas travel．

14．Be careful!Some people may use the truth to deceive（欺騙）．When someone tells you something that is true，but misses important information that should be included，he can create a false（不真實的） impression．
For example，someone might say，"I've just won 100dollars on the lottery（彩票）．It was great．I took that ticket back to the store and they gave me 100dollars!"
This man was a winner，wasn't he？Maybe，maybe not．We then discover that he paid 200dollars for 200tickets，and only one ticket won．He's really a big loser．
He didn't say anything that was false，but he didn't give the other important information．That's called a half-truth．Half-truths are not lies，but in fact they are dishonest．
Advertisements sometimes use half-truths．It's against the law to lie in advertisements，so they try to deceive with the truth．An advertisement might say，"Nine-tenths of students said that a new kind of device（儀器）is good for them to remember words．"It doesn't tell you that they only asked ten students and nine of them use this kind of device．
This kind of thing happens too often．It's a sad fact of life：Lies are lies，and sometimes the truth can lie as well．

52．When people tell part of the truth，C．
A．they are really lying             
B．they are lottery losers
C．they may not be honest           
D．they may want you to buy something
53．Which of the following is TRUE？A
A．The truth can be used by dishonest people．
B．All lies are hidden in the truth．
C．Nine-tenths of doctors work for Fancy Company．
D．Advertisements are full of lies．
54．The writer writes this passage to tell us toA
A．Think carefully when they read or hear something．
B．Spend no money on lottery tickets．
C．Never trust anyone no matter what they say．
D．Always tell the truth．
55．Which is the best title for the passage？C
A．Tell the Truth                
B．Everybody Lies
C．Lie With the Truth            
D．Lies Are Lies．

13．Lots of kids hate school，a new study found．Usually this kind of feeling doesn't last long．But what happens if you feel this way too much？School is a fact of life and getting a good education can help you build the kind of future life you want．So let's talk about school and what to do when you don't like it．
If you don't like school，the first step is to find out why．You might not like school because you don'have enough friends，or maybe you don't get along with your teacher．Sometime it's a big problem with your classes and school-work．You may be getting farther and farther behind，and it may seem like you'll never catch up．
When you know why you don't like school，you can start taking steps to make things better．It's a good idea to talk to someone about your problems with school．Your mum，dad，teacher or school counselor（顧問） will be able to help you．Another good idea is to write down your feelings about school in a notebook．It's a great way to let out emotions（情緒）．Remember，you don't have to share what you've written with others．

53．What does the underlined word"it"refer to in the first paragraph？B
A．A good education．
B．School．
C．Future life．
D．Friendship．
54．If you don't like school，the first step is toA．

D．leave school for a short time
55．How many reasons why you don't like school are given by the writer？B
A．Two．
B．Three．
C．Four．

B．share what you've written with others
C．write down your feelings about school

7．The problem of debt（債務） among teenagers in western countries is becoming worse and worse．Aren't they following their parents'advice，or aren't the parents teaching their children about money？Here is some advice that children as young as eight or nine can understand．
     First of all，you should learn to save before you buy．When you receive money，you should save some of it，maybe 30%．After this，spend what you want．Secondly，you'd better watch your money．Don't trust other people with it．Don't lend money and don't try to buy friends．If friends want your money，they aren't real friends．Another piece of advice is to buy only what you can afford．If that MP5 player or iPhone costs more than you have，then you don't need it．Don't borrow money for it，either．If you really want something，you can save for it．Saving teaches discipline（自律）．Also，after you have saved up enough money，you may realize you don't really want it after all．Finally，you are supposed not to compare what you have with what your friends have．That expensive iPad of your friend may be borrowed or paid for with borrowed money．
     There is an old saying："Give a person a fish and he will eat for a day．Teach a person how to fish，and he will eat for the rest of his life．"This is also true when we teach our children about money．Don't buy everything your children want．If you teach them good habits，they will always look after their money．

Introduction	Debt among western teenagers is increasing．
Body	Advice	What to do
	Save before you buy．	As soon as you receive money，you should（61）save  about 30% before spending what you want．
	Watch your money．	Don't lend money and don't try to buy （62）friends
	Buy what you can （63）afford．	If something costs more than you have，then you don't need it．
	Don't compare what you have  with what your friends have．	That expensive iPad of your friend may be borrowed or （64）paid for with borrowed money．
Conclusion	If you teach them good （65）habits，they will take good care of their money．
