The three soldiers 5 their blankets on the train seats and tried to sleep. It was a 6 evening even though it was summertime. Private Smith,the soldier with the fever,7 in the night air.
His joy in coming home was 8 with fear and worry. He knew he was sick and weak. How could he take care of his family? Where would he find the 9 to do the heavy work all farmers have to do? He had given three years of his life to his 10 And now he had very little money and strength 11 for his family.
Morning came slowly with a pale yellow light. The train was 12 down as it came into the town of La Crosse where the three soldiers would get off the train. The station was 13 because it was early on Sunday. "I'll get home 14 for dinner," Smith thought. "She usually has dinner at about one o'clock on Sunday afternoon," and he 15 .
They jumped off the train together. "Well,boys," Smith began, "here's where we say goodbye. We've 16 together for many miles. Now,I suppose,we are done."The three men found it 17 to look at each other.
"We 18 go home with you," one of the soldiers said to Smith. " You'll never be able to walk all those miles with that heavy 19 on your back."
"Oh,Fm all right," Smith said,putting on his army cap. "Every step takes me 20 to home."
They all shook hands. "Goodbye！”"Good luck！”"Same to you!" "Goodbye！”

August 23rd is a blue day for me. When I look back on the day,I can't help feeling depressive.
At 7：00 a.m., the scream from my alarm clock forced me to open my eyes. The room was in gloom. It was raining outside. How comfortable it would be if I could stay in my bed for the whole day,listening to the sound of rain and enjoying laziness. But it was time to get up to prepare breakfast for my husband. He was supposed to attend an important meeting at 8 ：00. I spent 5 minutes pushing me into the kitchen. Who knows the terrible day began at this moment.
When I turned on the tap,there was no water out. I was confused. Suddenly,I remembered the hateful notice posted on the building's entrance about a temporary water outage in the morning. I forgot it because of returning late from a birthday party. I searched all the water containers in the kitchen. There was no sufficient water for my husband's clean,least cooking food. It was 7:20. I have no time to waste. I called a friend living in next building for some water. Under her help,my husband finally had gone for the meeting on time. Sighs,I thought that I could go to bed to continue my dream.
In the dark and silent bedroom,I was quickly back in my dream of last night―fighting against a mosquito,which had been buzzing around and I tried unsuccessfully to hit it again and again. The mosquito was so shrewd to escape,but I finally won the fight. All of a sudden,I was waked by furious knocks at my door. I rushed to the door but slipped down and hit the ground heavily. The horrible pain in my right leg and ankle attacked me over all so that I couldn't stand up and move. At this moment,I was shocked by a horrible screen. I was lying in water. All rooms were in water,2 inches deep,like a swimming pool. Hearing the sounds from taps,I realized that I left the taps on when I went to bed. What a stupid mistake!My leg hurt like hell,but I tried to move bit by bit to the door. I opened the door before I was totally exhausted. My neighbor switched off all taps and called the ambulance. In hospital,the X-ray showed that my leg was broken. Tears continuously ran down. I felt painful and lonely. I couldn't reach my husband,for he stopped his cellular phone during the meeting. At supper time,I finally saw him in the hospital. So I prayed along with my husband to end the unlucky day soon.
Every time,I flash back the blue day,I highly appreciate my neighbor who helped me out. So I am convinced that even if you encounter a blue day,you can surely find some spots sparking in your mind.

The speaker,a teacher from a community college,addressed a sympathetic audience. Heads nodded in agreement when he said, "High school English teachers are not doing their jobs. " He described the inadequacies of his students,all high school graduates who can use language only at a grade 9 level. I was unable to determine from his answers to my questions how this grade 9 level had been established.
My topic is not standards nor its decline (降低) .What the speaker was really saying is that he is no longer young;he has been teaching for sixteen years,and is able to think and speak like a mature adult.
My point is that the frequent complaint of one generation about the one immediately following it is inevitable. It is also human nature to look for the reasons for our dissatisfaction. Before English became a school subject in the late nineteenth century,it was difficult to find the target of the blame for language deficiencies (缺陷) .But since then,English teachers have been under constant attack.
The complainers think they have hit upon an original idea. As their own command of the language improves,they notice that young people do not have this same ability. Unaware that their own ability has developed through the years,they assume the new generation of young people must be hopeless in this respect. To the eyes and ears of sensitive adults the language of the young always seems inadequate. .
Since this concern about the decline and fall of the English language is not noticed as a generational phenomenon but rather as something new and peculiar to today's young people,it naturally follows that today's English teachers cannot be doing their jobs. Otherwise,young people would not commit offenses against the language.
( ) 1. The speaker the author mentioned in the passage believed that .
A. the language of the younger generation is usually inferior to that of the older generation
B. the students had a poor command of English because they didn't work hard enough
C. he was an excellent language teacher because he had been teaching English for sixteen years
D. English teachers should be held responsible for the students' poor command of English
( ) 2. In the author's opinion,the speaker .
A. gave a correct judgment of the English level of the students
B. had exaggerated the language problems of the students
C. was right in saying that English teachers were not doing their jobs
D. could think and speak intelligently
( ) 3. The author's attitude towards the speaker's remarks is .
A. neutral B. positive C. critical D. compromising
( ) 4. In the passage the author argues that .
A. it is unfair to blame the English teachers for the language deficiencies of the students
B. young people would not commit offences against the language if the teachers did their jobs properly
C. to eliminate language deficiencies one must have sensitive eyes and ears
D. to improve the standard of English requires the effort of several generations

One thing Britain is famous for is pubs,and no trip to the UK would be complete without a visit to one of the thousands of pubs across the country.
Pubs play an important part in the social structure of the country. They are places where all ages and social classes mix to talk,do business,or just spend a couple of quiet hours before heading home in the evening.
There are many different types of beer available in pubs. Traditional British beer is called bitter,or ale,and is usually served at room temperature. As a result,the British are famous for their " warm beer"！
If you prefer a cold beer,ask for lager. This beer is a light yellow in color whereas bitter is usually a darker brown. Another type of beer is stout—you may have heard of Guinness,which is a type of stout. This is a cold,black beer and takes a long time to pour,so don't be surprised if you have to wait for it.
All beers are served as pints (500 ml) or halves (250ml) . To order,you need to ask for a pint or half,and then name the beer. So,you could say "A pint of bitter,please."
Another drink is cider. This is like beer,but it is made from apples so it can taste sweet.
Wine,red or white,is normally available in all pubs,as are spirits such as whisky,gin or vodka. These are served as singles (25ml) or doubles (50ml) .
It is not,however,necessary to drink alcohol. Nonalcoholic drinks are called soft drinks. You can have juice,lemonade or cola,among others.
If you visit a pub in a group,it is important to pay for your "round". This means that you buy a drink for everyone in your group. Not buying your round is a big social mistake!Remember that you need to order and pay for your drinks at the bar.
So,follow these tips if you want to get the most out of visiting a pub,and, "Cheers!"

One of the things teachers dread is to have charge of a class dominated by a large,stupid,bullying boy. David Horsey gives such a young rude truly nightmarish (垂夢般的) proportions in today's cartoon：too large to fit in the room.
The teacher in the cartoon is trying to interest her pupils in a violin. There are many ways in which to think about a violin：how it is played,how it makes those sounds,the kind of music that one can play on it,how the violin was crafted,who produced it,the historical origin of the violin,its beauty as an object,attitudes toward violins and violin music,etc. The violin is a perfect tool for stimulating curiosity and imagination,for encouraging experiment,for exciting wonder,for training taste. And such undertakings as these are fundamental to the best Western concept of education,just as important as the mastery of facts. Facts are important,but facts are also dead in themselves. Good education must include giving children experience in using facts to explore the unknown,in groups and on their own,and also to formulate opinions and impressions,and to defend them in debate.
But progress in such matters as imagination,creativity and responsiveness cannot easily be tested,at least not numerically,while success in memorizing facts can be measured in neat ways to satisfy the bureaucrats (官僚) .Now President Bush has promised to improve American primary education,and most observers would agree that it needs improvement. He sides with the people who emphasize the use of tests to guarantee that pupils are reaching certain minimums in math and reading. That is the approach taken in the "No Child Left Behind" Act passed by Congress early in the Bush presidency：forced testing of children and schools,with published results for the schools and punitive (懲罰性的) measures for under performers.
But Horsey sympathizes with teachers who complain that teaching to tests has little to do with true education. Education in fact is easy to organize;education for life―in using all the capacities of one's mind to meet the challenges of life―is an art that bureaucrats,like the class bully,know nothing about and want to hear nothing of.
( ) 5. What does the underlined word " bullying boy" probably mean in the first paragraph?
A. A smart but poor person.
B. A rough and violent person.
C. An honest but hottempered man.
D. An intelligent but talkative one.
( ) 6. The passage is mainly about .
A. how to teach a violin in an effective way
B. what good education is like
C. an argument about a law
D. how to help students pass tests
( ) 7. From the passage we can infer that .
A. some officials don't know much about education
B. creativity and responsiveness can easily be tested
C. the students just need to learn what will be tested
D. the testing can improve American primary education
( ) 8. The writer's opinions are as follows EXCEPT .
A. It's good to take "No child left Behind" Act passed by Congress
B. Education is more than test. In some way,it's a kind of Art
C. We can test the facts but can't test the capacities of the students
D. Teachers should let the students know more than tested facts

Teenagers and young adults who see more alcohol advertising are also likely to drink more,according to a study that makes the strongest link yet between alcohol advertisements and youth drinking.
The findings from the United States challenge the claim by alcohol manufacturers that advertising does not influence the amount that young people drink,but merely encourages them to switch brand (change to drink another kind of alcohol) .
In a study at the University of Connecticut,scientists interviewed more than 4 ,000 Americans aged between 15 and 26 about their drinking habits and viewing of advertisements. They found that each additional alcohol advertisement seen each month was connected with a 1 percent increase in the average number of alcohol drinking.
Leslie Snyder,who led the study,said, "The results ... deny claims that advertising is unrelated to youth drinking amounts,that advertising at best causes brand switching,only affects those older than the legal drinking age,or is effectively objected against by current educational efforts."
"Alcohol advertising was a contributing factor to youth drinking quantities over time." Young people drank 3 percent more alcohol per month for each additional dollar spent per person in each of the markets studied.
David Jernigan,of the Centre on Alcohol Marketing and Youth at Georgetown University,Washington D C. wrote in an editorial that the research cast doubt on the alcohol industry's central claims about advertising.
"The fact that young people were more likely to drink more over time in environments with more alcohol advertising,even when controlling for alcohol sales in those environments,suggests that it is alcohol advertising that contributes to the drinking," he said.
"These and other findings pointed to alcohol advertising ' as an important area for trying to reduce underage drinking and its tragic consequences' ”he added.
( ) 5. Which is NOT included in the claims by alcohol manufacturers?
A. Alcohol advertising only encourages people to change brand.
B. Alcohol advertising was the main cause leading to youth drinking quantities all the time.
C. Alcohol advertising does not influence the amount that young people drink.
D. Alcohol advertising affects those older than the legal drinking age.
( ) 6. The underlined phrase "cast doubt on" means .
A. criticize B. disagree with
C. question D. make comments on
( ) 7. According to the passage,which of the following is NOT right?
A. In environments with more alcohol advertising young people will drink more alcohol.
B. The result of the study indicates that we should try to reduce alcohol advertising.
C. If we reduced advertising,we would reduce some bad effects from drinking.
D. The alcohol advertising just has influence on the older people.
( ) 8. What's the best title of the passage?
A. Alcohol Advertising's Influence on People
B. Alcohol Advertisements Do Make Teens Drink More
C. The Study of Alcohol Advertising
D. Current Educational Effort is Fighting against the Alcohol Advertising
