Liu Hui is very excited. The students in a school in Shanghai will go to the USA with his parents during the Spring Festival.
“Overseas touring has always been a dream for me,” he said happily.
Nowadays, Chinese people enjoy longer holidays, such as the three “Golden Week Holidays”(the Spring Festival, May Day and National Day). They have more time to travel. Rising incomes also make travelling abroad realistic for ordinary Chinese people.
Nearly 7 million Chinese travelled overseas in 2001, according to the National Tourism Administration(國家旅游局). The most common problem travellers face is how to choose the best routes(路線).
By the end of 2002, Chinese citizens were allowed to travel to 19 foreign countries and regions at their own expense.
The top 10 places included Hong Kong, Macao and Thailand. European countries are also becoming increasingly popular.
“More and more Chinese people have shown interest in travelling to Europe, particularly France and Finland,” said Tan Wen, a general manager of China Youth Travel Service. “Sooner or later, there will be a peak（高峰） in European tours.”
Another consideration is choosing the right travel agencies and finding the best price. The China Consumers’ Association（CCA，中國消費者協(xié)會）offered tips to consumers on choosing the right travel agencies to help prevent a relaxing vacation from turning into a costly disaster.
“Price should not be the single most important factor in choosing a travel agency,” said Zhang Yuanchao, CCA vice-secretary general. Consumers are advised to choose large State travel agencies with good reputations and official approval to organize overseas tour groups.
Zhang’s association dealt with more than 5, 000 complaints about travel agencies（旅行社） last year. And the majority of the complaints were about random changes in travel routes, bad tour guides, and forced shopping.
Travellers were warned to look carefully at their contracts with agencies and to buy travel insurance(保險).
小題1:How many reasons are given in the article as to why ordinary Chinese people are traveling abroad more today?
A．Two.B．Three.C．Four.D．Five.
小題2:According to the passage, what is the biggest problem Chinese travelers face when going overseas?
A．Choosing the best travel agent.
B．Deciding the best way to get to the places they want to go to.
C．Traveling to Europe.
D．Cost.
小題3:According to the passage, what seems to be the most common result of choosing a bad travel agency?
A．People buy more souvenirs than they had planned to.
B．People spend more money than they had planned to.
C．People go to different places than they had palnned to.
D．People complained more than they had planned to.
小題4:The underlined part “random changes” probably means that         .
A．the travelers agreed with the changes.
B．the travel agency didn’t make any changes.
C．the travel agency refused to changes the routes.
D．the travel agency changed the routes or time without following the original plan.

My elder brother Steve, in the absence of my father who died when I was six, gave me important lessons in values that helped me grow into an adult.
For instance, Steve taught me to face the results of my behavior. Once when I returned in tears from a Saturday baseball game, it was Steve who took the time to ask me what happened. When I explained that my baseball had soared through Mrs. Holt’s basement window, breaking the glass with a crash, Steve encouraged me to confess（承認）to her. After all, I should have been playing in the park down Fifth Street and not in the path between buildings. Although my knees knocked as I explained to Mrs. Holt, I offered to pay for the window from my pocket money if she would return my ball. I also learned from Steve that personal property is a sacred（神圣的） thing. After I found a shiny silver pen in my fifth-grade classroom, I wanted to keep it, but Steve explained that it might be important to someone else in spite of the fact that it had little value. He reminded me of how much I’d hate to lose to someone else the small dog that my father carved from a piece of cheap wood. I returned the pen to my teacher, Mrs. Davids, and still remembered the smell of her perfume as she patted me on my shoulder.
Yet of all the instructions Steve gave me, his respect for life is the most vivid in my mind. When I was twelve, I killed an old brown sparrow in the yard with a BB gun. Excited with my accuracy, I screamed to Steve to come from the house to take a look. I shall never forget the way he stood for a long moment and stared at the bird on the ground. Then in a dead, quiet voice, he asked, “Did it hurt you first, Mark?” I didn’t know what to answer. He continued with his eyes firm, “The only time you should even think of hurting a living thing is if it hurts you first. And then you think a long, long time.” I really felt terrible then, but that moment stands out as the most important lesson my brother taught me.
小題1: What is the main subject of the passage?
A．The relationship between Mark and Steve.
B．The important lesson Mark learned in school
C．Steve’s important role in mark’s growing process.
D．Mark and Steve’s respect for living things.
小題2:It can be inferred from the passage that when Mark confessed to Mrs. Holt, __________.
A．he felt surprisedB．he was light-hearted
C．he felt frightened D．he knelt before her
小題3:In the story about the pen, which of the following lessons did Steve teach his brother?
A．Respect for personal property.B．Respect for life.
C．Sympathy for people with problems.D．The value of honesty.
小題4:According to the writer, which was the most important lesson Steve taught his young brother?
A．Respect for living things.B．Responsibility for one’s actions.
C．The value of the honesty.D．Care for the property of others.

“Mum, what does it mean when someone tells you that they have a skeleton (骨骼) in the closet (衣櫥)?” Jessica asked. “A skeleton in the closet?” her mother paused thoughtfully. “Well, it's something that you would rather not have anyone else know about. For example, if in the past, someone in Dad's family had been arrested for stealing a horse, it would be 'a skeleton in his family's closet'. He really wouldn't want any neighbor to know about it.”
“Why pick on my family?” Jessica's father said with anger. “Your family history isn't so good, you know. Wasn't your great-great-grandfather a prisoner who was transported to Australia for his crimes?”“Yes, but people these days say that you are not a real Australian unless your ancestors arrived as prisoners.”“Gosh, sorry I asked. I think I understand now,” Jessica cut in before things grew worse.
After dinner, the house was very quiet. Jessica's parents were still quite angry with each other. Her mother was ironing clothes and every now and then she glared at her husband, who hid behind his newspaper pretending to read. When she finished, she gathered the freshly pressed clothes in her arms and walked to Jessica's closet. Just as she opened the door and reached in to hang a skirt, a bony arm stuck out from the dark depths and a bundle of white bones fell to the floor. Jessica's mother sank in a faint (暈倒), waking only when Jessica put a cold, wet cloth on her forehead. She looked up to see the worried faces of her husband and daughter.
“What happened? Where am I?” she asked. “You just destroyed the school's skeleton, Mum,” explained Jessica. “I brought it home to help me with my health project. I meant to tell you, but it seemed that as soon as I mentioned skeletons and closets, it caused a problem between you and Dad.” Jessica looked in amazement as her parents began to laugh madly. “They're both crazy,” she thought.
小題1:According to Jessica's mother, “a skeleton in the close” means ________.
A．a(chǎn) family honorB．a(chǎn) family secretC．a(chǎn) family storyD．a(chǎn) family treasure
小題2:What can we learn about some Australians' ancestors from Paragraph 2?
A．They were brought to Australia as prisoners.
B．They were the earliest people living in Australia.
C．They were involved in some crimes in Australia.
D．They were not regarded as criminals in their days.
小題3:Why did Jessica bring a skeleton home?
A．She was curious about it.B．She planned to keep it for fun.
C．She needed it for her school task. D．She intended to scare her parents.
小題4: Jessica's parents laughed madly at the end of the story probably because ________.
A．they were crazy.
B．they were over excited.
C．they realized their misunderstanding.
D．they both thought they had won the quarrel.

Have you ever been to the beautiful country of Holland and its capital Amsterdam? Anyone who has traveled to Amsterdam would probably agree on one thing: Amsterdam's story is a tale of two cities -- one during the day and a completely different one at night．
During the day, the largest city in the Netherlands sits quietly on the Amstel River．You can rent a bicycle, visit the Van Gogh or Anne Frank museum, or take a water taxi．But when the sun goes down, the partying begins．In the big clubs and in coffee shops, tourists gather to hang out, talk politics and smoke．
Several areas of the city clearly show the two worlds that rule Amsterdam．And they're all within a short cab ride of each other．For example, Dam Square attracts daytime sightseers to its festivals, open markets, concerts and other events．Several beautiful and very popular hotels can be found there．And there's the Royal Palace and the Magna Plaza shopping mall．
But at night party-seekers come to the square．Hip hop or funk music is heard there．．So if you come, be ready to dance．The clubs don't shut down until 4 am．
And while you're there, check out the various inexpensive ways to tour the city．Don't worry about getting lost．Although Dutch is the official language, most people in Amsterdam speak English and are happy to help you with directions．And you'll notice that half the people in the streets are on bicycles they rent．
Amsterdam also has a well-planned canal system．For about 10 dollars, you can use the canal bus or a water taxi to cruise（巡游） the "Venice of the North"．
The city has a historic past．One impressive place to visit is the Anne Frank House on Nine Streets．It was there that the young Jewish girl wrote her famous diary during World War II．Visitors can view Anne's original diary and climb behind the bookcase to the room where she and her family hid from the Nazis for two years．
小題1:What means of transport is not available to visitors in Amsterdam?

Geena David knew she wanted to be a movie star when she was very young. She was not sure what gave her the idea, but she wanted to look like a movie star. “I have a lot of pictures from my childhood of me wearing sunglasses,” she says. “I used to wear them to watch TV.”
　 Early movie actors started wearing sunglasses not because they looked good, but because their eyes hurt. The lights used on movie sets were extremely bright and could cause a painful problem known as “Klieg eyes”. It was named after the Klieg brothers who invented the lights. Actors wore sunglasses to give their eyes a rest. But when movie stars began wearing their sunglasses in public, they quickly became a must.
　 Eventually actors started wearing sunglasses in their movies as well as on the street. Audrey Hephburn wore ultra-cool Ray-Ban sunglasses in the 1961 movie, Breakfast at Tiffany’s. As a result, Ray-Ban sunglasses started to appear more and more in the movies. In 1979, Ray-Ban “Wayfarers” were worn by Jake and Elwood in The Blue Brothers. Tom Cruise wore Ray-Ban “Aviator” sunglasses in the 1986 hit, Top Gun. Then in 1997, Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones made Ray-Ban “Predator” sunglasses famous in Men in Black.
　  Of course sunglasses aren’t just a fashion statement. The main reason to wear sunglasses is to protect our eyes against UV radiation. UV radiation can damage our eyes, so people now choose their sunglasses carefully. But you don’t have to give up style for safety. The choice of frames and lenses available these days is huge. So you can protect your eyes and still be the coolest person on the beach.
小題1:What is mainly discussed in this passage?
A．The use of sunglasses.B．The history of sunglasses.
C．The sunglasses wearing.D．Why movie stars like to wear sunglasses.
小題2:Why did Geena David like to wear sunglasses?
A．She was a movie star.
B．She wanted to follow a movie star.
C．Wearing sunglasses was good to her eyes.
D．It was good to wear sunglasses when watching TV.
小題3:Early actors’ eyes hurt because ______.
A．they wore sunglasses
B．they went out in the sun too much
C．the lights on movie sets were too bright
D．their scripts were written in very small writing
小題4:Now people wear sunglasses ______.
A．just to protect their eyesB．for fashion and to protect their eyes
C．because of bright lightsD．because movie stars wear them

Can you communicate with others when you live in a foreign country with no or little knowledge of its language? Of course, it is possible. You can communicate your moods and intentions to one another without words, because all human beings share a lot of common visual（看見的）signals. These signals are as effective as words during communication.
The gestures of the head play a key role in body language. The movements of eyes and eyebrows are as important as head movements in body language.
　　Besides the gestures of the head or the movements of the eyes and eyebrows, the action of arms, hands and legs is also a large part of body language. Extending one's arm and shaking hands with others is a greeting in both formal and informal cases. This part of body language might date back to primary tribes（部落）.
　　Like handshaking, there are still many other forms of body language presented by hands. Raising one's hand and making a circle with his thumb（拇指）and for finger signals, that something is OK. Clasped（握緊的）hands raised above the head, a traditional picture accepted by sportsmen after winning a fight, is a display of triumph that grows out of a kind of feeling following a victory. Waving one's hands, a speaker can make his words more powerful and vigorous（有活力的）.
　　Besides hand gestures, there are times when a person says something with his legs as well as with his head and eyes. The leg gestures often reflect one's attitude towards something or someone that person is with.
　　According to the above facts, body language has offered a more reliable（可靠的）way to understand one's mind by means of gestures. Though it is soundless and wordless, once you understand it, you will feel the world is bigger than you realized.
小題1: Which of the following is the proper title for this passage?
A．Body LanguageB．How to Communicate with the People around You
C．The History of Body Language D．Gestures And Languages
小題2:After reading the passage we can conclude that ________.
A．hand shaking suggests that the speaker is excited
B．head plays a less important part in body language
C．a(chǎn)ctors and actresses are good at gestures
D．people began to use body language long long ago
小題3:What's the characteristic of body language?
A．Soundless and wordless.B．Difficult to understand.
C．Powerful and vigorous.　　　D．Effective and normal
小題4:When sports men win a match, they probably ________.
A．clasp their hands to announce their victory
B．clasp their hands to express their excited feeling
C．have a picture taken as soon as possible
D．show a sign of thankfulness
