Driving a Car is not just handing controls and judging speed and distance, it requires you to predict what other road users will do and get ready to react to something unexpected. When alcohol is consumed, it enters your bloodstream and acts as a depressant(抑制藥), damaging eyesight, judgment and co-ordination（協(xié)調(diào)）,slowing down reaction time and greatly increasing the risk of accidents. Even below the drink driving limit, driving will be affected.
Alcohol may take a few minutes to be absorbed into the bloodstream and start action on the brain. Absorption rate is increased when drinking on an empty stomach or when consuming drinks mixed with fruit juice. To get rid of alcohol from the body is a very slow process and it is not possible to speed it up with any measures like a shower or having a cup of tea or coffee.
The present traffic ordinance states clearly that the limit of alcohol concentration is:
●50 milligrams of alcohol per l00ml of blood; or
●22 milligrams of alcohol per l00ml of breath; or
●67 milligrams of alcohol per l00ml of urine(尿液)
Drivers who cause traffic accidents, or who commit a moving traffic offence or are being suspected of drink driving will be tested.
Any drive found drinking beyond the limit will be charged. The driver declared guilty may be fined a maximum of HK﹩25,000 and be sentenced to up to 3 years in prison and punished for 10 driving-offence points; or temporarily banned from driving.
The same punishment applies to failing to provide specimens (樣本) far breath, blood or urine tests without good excuse.
Drink driving is a criminal offence. Be a responsible, driver, think before you drink. For the safety of yourself and other road users, never drive after consuming alcohol.
小題1:The first paragraph is mainly about_____________.
A．the introductions of driving skillsB．the damage of drinking to your body
C．the effect of drinking on drivingD．the process of alcohol being absorbed
小題2:The underlined word ”it” in the second paragraph refers to “____”．
A．a(chǎn)lcoholB．a(chǎn)bsorptionC．bloodD．process
小題3: which of me following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Drinking below the drink driving limit has no effect on driving.
B．Alcohol is taken in more quickly when drunk with fruit juice.
C．Having a cup of tea helps to get rid of alcohol from the body.
D．50milligrams of alcohol per l00ml of breath is below the drink driving limit.
小題4: A driver suspected of drink driving ____.
A．should provide specimens for testing
B．will be forbidden to drive for 3 years
C．will be punished for 10 driving-offence points
D．should pay a maximum fine of HK$25,000

In the book, wolves are heroes on the large grassland. They know more about  38 than humans. They can attack lambs without disturbing their mothers.

The wolves also have great self-respect and won't  47 to anyone. The writer, who wrote the book “The Wolf Totem”,  48 stole a one-month-old baby wolf and raised it very carefully. To his 49 , he found the little wolf still wanted to go back with  50 wolves. He bit through the iron chain that limited him. The wolf was  51  and he never gave in, fighting  52  his death. The little wolf died as a glorious fighter.?
I was shocked by this kind of  53 : wolves are one of the most respected creatures on earth. I want everyone to look at wolves in a  54 way. They are our teachers.

Feeling blue about world ? “Cheer up.” Says science writer Matt Ridley.”The world has never been a better place to live in, and it will keep on getting better both for humans and got nature.”
Ridley calls himself a tat ional optimist—tactical .because he’s carefully weighed the evidence optimistic .because that   offence shows human progress to be both unavoidable and good .And this is what he’s set out to prone from unique point of view in his most recent book. The Rant anal Opting  .He views mankind as grand enterprise that .on the whole .has done little but progress for 100.000 years. He backed his finding with hard gathered though years of research.
Here’s how he explains his views.
Shopping fuels invention
It is reported that there are more than ten billion different producers for sale in London alone. Even allowing for the many people who still live in poverty .our own generation has access to more nutritious food .more convenient transport .bigger houses, better ears .and of course, more pounds and dollars than any who lived before us .This will continue as long as we there things to make other things, This more we specialize and exchange, the better off we’ll be.
2) Brilliant advances
One reason we are richer, healthier, taller, cleverer, longer-lived and freer than ener before is that the four most basie human needs -food, clothing, fuel and shelter- have grown a lot cheaper. Take one example. In 1800 a candle providing one hour’s light cost six hours’ work. In the 1880s the same light from an oil lamp took 15 minutes’ work to pay for. In 1950 it was eight seconds. Today it’s half second.
3) Let’s not kill ourselves for climate change
Mitigating(減輕) climate change could prove just as damaging to human welface as climate change itself. A child that dies from indoor smoke in a village, where the use of fassil-fuel(化石燃料) electrieity is forhidden by well meaming members of green polucal movements trying to save the world, is just as great a tragedy as a child that mes in a flood caused by climate change. If chmaic change proves to be xxxx, but cutting carbon canses realparn, we may well find that we have stopped a nose bleed by putting a tournquet(止血帶) around our necks.
小題1:What is the theme of Ridley’s most recent book?
A．Weakness of human nature.
B．Concern about climate change.
C．Importance of practical thinking.
D．Optimism about human progress.
小題2:How does Ridley look at shopping?
A．It encourages the creation of things.
B．It results in shortage of goods.
C．It demands more fossil fuels.
D．It causes a poverry problem.
小題3:The candle and lamp example is used to show that     .
A．oil lamps give off more light than candles
B．shortening working time brings about a happier life.
C．a(chǎn)dvanced technology helps to produce better candles.
D．increased production rate leads to lower cost of goods.
小題4:What does the last sentence of the passage imply?
A．Cutting carbon is necessary in spite of the huge cost.
B．Overreaction to cliamate change may be dangerous.

“Dinning out” and “eating out” are phrases people use in Britain when they eat in a restaurant or pub（小酒館）. Eating out is more popular in Britain today than it has ever been. In 2006, for the first time ever, British people spent more eating out than cooking for themselves and eating at home. It seems that many British people are becoming increasingly interested in how good their food tastes, and also how healthy it is.
However, eating out can also be expensive. As British people do not eat out every night of the week, eating in a restaurant is often seen as a special occasion. When going on a first date and wanting to impress him/ her , or if celebrating an anniversary or a birthday, many people like to go to a restaurant to eat, and people often also eat in a restaurant before going to the cinema or the theater.
As in all cultures, there are many rules of etiquette(禮儀) surrounding food and eating. The knife and fork should be used in the correct way! It is also impolite to have your elbows(肘部) on the dinning table when you are eating.
Almost all British cities have a vast range of food as well as traditional British food, and all from the very cheap to the very expensive---French, Italian, Indian, Chinese, Greek, Thai, Japan and many, many more. In fact, when asked which was their favorite food, more British people said an Indian curry(咖喱菜肴) than any other dish !
As well as dining in a restaurant, when people are too tired to cook after work they often get a “take-away”. This means that they order from a take-out restaurant by telephone, and then go to collect it and take it home to eat. Many take-out restaurants also deliver it your house. While you can normally find a take-out restaurant for almost any food, the most popular are Italian, Indian and Chinese and then all of you have to do is to open the door, pay and eat !
小題1:On which of the following occasions are British people likely to eat in a restaurant ?
A．After watching a play.B．Before watching a movie.
C．When they’re too tired to work.D．When they want to have natural food.
小題2:From the passage we can know that_______.
A．eating out is not expensive in Britain
B．eating at pubs doesn’t have so many rules in Britain
C．British people are not aware of nutrition while eating out
D．the British spent more eating at home more than eating out
小題3:We can learn from the last two paragraphs that________.
A．French dishes are very expensive
B．take-out restaurants only deliver pizza
C．British people are fond of foreign food
D．people can eat take-out food first and pay later
小題4:What is the passage mainly about ?
A．Restaurant culture in Britain.B．Table manners.
C．Traditional British food.D．Eating and health.

The world is filled with many interesting sounds. Some are very pleasant to hear; others are unpleasant to our ears. In a day, you probably hear hundreds of different sounds.
All sounds are different. Some may be soft; others may be loud. Some sounds are high; others are low.
Some sounds are useful. Without sound we cannot talk or listen to one another. The ringing alarm clock (鬧鐘)makes people wake up. The hooting of a horn (喇叭聲) on the road warns careless people of danger.
We make sounds by making things move to and fro(來回地). This to-and-fro movement is called vibration (振動(dòng)). It means moving up and down or forwards(向前地) and backwards(向后的) very fast. This makes sound waves(波).
We can make sounds in many ways, for example, by shouting, clapping our hands and striking the table. We can make sounds only by making things vibrate. We can talk because we can make our vocal cords (聲帶) vibrate. Our vocal cords are in a sound box or voice box. Two vocal cords vibrate when our lungs(肺) force the air through them.
小題1:We can make sounds ______.
A．by making things still
B．by making things vibrate
C．by making things jump up and down
D．by changing the positions of things
小題2: Some sounds are useful because ______.
A．they can wake people up
B．they can warn people to be careful when they are crossing the road
C．they make it possible for people to talk or listen to each other
D．a(chǎn)ll of the above
小題3:When the air is through our vocal cords, it can make them ______.
A．vibrateB．breathe the air
C．talk to each otherD．move forward and backward
小題4:Sounds are different because ______.
A．different sounds have different vibrations
B．different sounds have different sound waves
C．different sounds have different vocal cords
D．both A and B

Since the gene , called DAF-16 in worms, was found in many animals and in humans, the finding could open up new ways to affect aging ,immunity and resistance in humans the scientists said.
“We wanted to find out how normal aging is being governed by genes and what effect these genes have on other traits such as immunity,”said Robin May , who led the study.
Populations across the world are aging at a surprising pace , bring potentially big challenges for health and social care systems . A study by Danish scientists last year found that half of babies born in rich world today will live to celebrate their 100th birthday . Scientists are eager to find out how people age to try to develop drugs to help them stay healthier lives extend.
“What we have found is that things like resistance and aging tend go hand in hang “ May said in an interview
May’s team compared longevity ,stress resistance and immunity in four related species of worm. They also looked for differences in the activity of DAV-16 in each of the four species and found that they were all quite distinct.
May said DAF-16 was active in most cells in the body and was very similar to a group of human genes called FOXO genes , which scientists believe play a role in the aging process. “The fact that subtle differences in DAF-16 between species seem to have such an impact on aging and health is very interesting and many explain how differences in lifespan and related traits have arisen during evolution，”May said
小題1:In which section may the text appear in a newspaper?
A  Education   B  Science   C  Entertainment    D  Culture
小題2: According to May ,   
A resistance has a lot of to do with aging    B FOXO genes can be found in worms
C genes play the same role in difference species   D  new drugs will change the genes in older people
小題3:From the text we know that DAF-16   
A is a gene that is only found in worms     B can make people live longer
C has an effect on aging and immunity     D  has been quite familiar to scientists

Over the last 25 years, British society has changed a great deal. In some ways, however, very little has changed. Ideas about social class whether a person is “working-class” or “middle-class” are one area in which changes have been extremely slow.
In the past, the working-class tended to be paid less than middle-class people, such as teachers and doctors. As a result of this and also of the fact that workers’ jobs were generally much less secure, distinct differences in life-styles and attitudes came into existence. The typical working man would collect his wages on Friday evening and then give them to his wife, leaving a little for drinking or betting.
The type of what a middle-class man did with his money was perhaps nearer the truth. He was and still is likely to take a longer-term view. Not only did he regard buying a house to provide him and his family with security. Only in very few cases did workers have the opportunity (or the education and training) to make such long-term plans.
Nowadays, much has changed. In a large number of cases factory workers earn as much. Social security and laws have made it less necessary than before to worry about “tomorrow”. Working-class people seem slowly to be losing the feeling of inferiority(自卑感)they had in the past. In fact there has been a growing tendency in the past few years for the middle-classes to feel slightly ashamed of their position.
The changes in both life-styles and attitudes are probably most easily seen among younger people. They generally tend to share very similar tastes in music and clothes. They spend their money enjoying themselves, and save for holidays or longer-term plans when necessary. There seems to be much less difference than in precious generations. Nevertheless, we still have a wide gap between the well-paid and the low-paid. As long as this gap exists, there will always be a possibility that new problems will appear between different groups.
小題1:Which of the following is seen as the main cause of class differences in the past?
A．Life style and occupation.
B．Attitude and income.
C．Income and job security.
D．Job security and hobbies.
小題2: The writer seems to suggest that _______.
A．the description of middle-class ways of spending money is quite real
B．working-class ways of spending the weekend remain the same
C．working-class drinking habits differ from the past
D．middle-class attitudes towards their positions have changed greatly
小題3: According to the passage, what was the typical feature of the middle–class in the past?
A．They had to save money for security.
B．They couldn’t make long-term plans.
C．They could make as much money as they do now.
D．They didn’t have the sense of inferiority.
小題4: Working-class people's sense of security has increased as a result of all the following factors EXCEPT that _______.
A．they are provided with social security
B．they can get much income
C．better jobs are available for all of them
D．the government offers legal protection
小題5:Which of the following statements is incorrect?
A．Changes are slowly taking place in all aspects of the British society.
B．The difference between working-class and middle-class young people is narrowing.
C．The gap in income between the two classes will still remain.
D．Middle-class people may sometimes feel a little inferior.
