A few years ago my sister moved from her home in Alabama to Buffalo, New York. Since moving to Buffalo she’s become a big hockey fan and has encouraged me to start watching it. Unfortunately it’s very difficult to find hockey on television here in Alabama. Since hockey games don’t air very much on television I’ve had to look for different ways to watch hockey games.
I often see websites that claim if you go to their website you can watch television on your computer. I try out many of these websites hoping that one of the television stations is a northern station that airs hockey games. Unfortunately, most of them don’t work. Either the site doesn’t really give you what they advertise or their video player doesn’t work properly. But finally I’ve found one website that actually works.
Free Tube is a site that you can go to and watch Television online for free. You don’t have to download any kind of special software or pay money or even sign up for anything. All you have to do is go to Free Tube, choose your channel and start watching. 
The different channels to choose from are separated into different categories like news, business, entertainment, music and sports. You’re not going to find channels like NBC or ABC so you can watch the latest episode of Heroes or Grey’s Anatomy but it does include some popular channels like Cartoon Network and ESPN.
There is also a movie section. Each movie channel airs different sorts of films like adventure, classics, comedy or horror and that channel will always air that kind of movies. The movie section also includes my favorite station called Maxx Trailers (預(yù)告片). Maxx Trailers airs nothing but movies trailers 24 hours a day. Some of the trailers are for movies coming out and some are for movies that have already been released but already released movies don’t go back farther than a couple of months.
So far I haven’t had any problems with Free Tube’s video player either. Whenever I choose a channel, the video almost always works and usually loads every quickly. The only problem I have with Free Tube is that there is currently a glitch if you’re using Firefox. Once you choose a channel you can’t select another channel to change to, your web browser will freeze up. So if you’re using Firefox, the only way to switch channels is to leave the site and re-enter the site, when choosing what channel you want to go to. However, Free Tube is aware of this glitch and is working with Mozilla to get it fixed right away.
If you’re missing some show everyone is talking about like Grey’s Anatomy or Heroes, this isn’t really a solution for that. But Free Tube is a good way to find channels that you weren’t aware of; there are several good stations to be found.
小題1:The author mainly ________ in this passage.
A．tells us his experience in using the Web
B．introduces Free Tube to the readers
C．shows us the disadvantages of Free Tube
D．shows us how to enjoy films online
小題2:The author got interested in watching hockey games ________
A．because he is a sports fan
B．due to his sister’s influence
C．since everyone enjoys the games
D．because he has nothing to do all day long
小題3:From the passage we can learn that ______________
A．the author is also very fond of movies
B．Maxx Trailers airs to-be-released movies
C．ABC is a very famous TV station in America
D．Firefox is the only software used to watch films online
小題4: The underlined word “glitch” probably means _________
A．coverB．changeC．noteD．fault

Café en Seine
The wildly luxury(奢華) new art style of this huge bar has been a massive hit since it first opened in 1995, and while it may not be the “in” place it once was, it is still very popular with the after-work crowd and out-of-towners. Maybe it’s the glass frames, or the real 12m-high trees; but most likely it’s the beautiful people supporting the wood-and-marble bar.
Good for: decoration, cocktails, amazing food and service
Address: 40 Dawson St
Transport: all city centre
Phone: 01 677 4369
Gravediggers (aka Kavanagh’s)
The gravediggers from the neighboring Glasnevin Cemetery had a secret serving hatch(艙口)  so that they could drink on the job – hence the pub’s nickname. Founded in 1833 by one John Kavanagh and still in the family, this pub is one of the best in Ireland, almost unchanged in 150 years. In summer time the green of the square is full of drinkers basking in the sun, while inside the hardened locals ensure that never a hint of sunshine disturbs some of the best Guinness in town. An absolute classic.
Good for: Guinness, traditional pub, pub food
Address: 1 Prospect Sq Glasnevin
Transport: 13 from city centre
Phone: 830 7978
Davy Byrne’s
James Joyce, an Irish author and a poet (1882-1941), would hardly recognise the bar that Leopold Bloom rushed into for a gorgonzola sandwich and a glass of wine in Ulysses. It doesn’t stop Davy Byrne’s from making the most of its Joyce’s connections, even though today's version is strictly for out-of-towners and the rugby crowd.
Good for: socializing with the locals, tasty Irish food, watching TV
Address: 21 Duke St
Transport: all city centre
Website: www.davybyrnes.com
Phone: 01 677 5217
小題1:People choose Café en Seine most probably because they enjoy _____as well as its cocktails and service
A．its location
B．its history
C．its decoration
D．its environment
小題2: “Guinness” in Gravediggers probably refer to ________.
A．a(chǎn) kind of tea
B．a(chǎn) kind of beer
C．the name of the boss
D．the name of the town
小題3:We can infer that Davy Byrne’s is ________.
A．a(chǎn) newly-opened bar
B．a(chǎn)n old-fashioned bar
C．a(chǎn) bar with a long history
D．a(chǎn) bar popular with foreigners
小題4:What do Café en Seine and Davy Byrne’s have in common?

Poems by Emily Dickinson
An enthusiastic poet whose works have had considerable influence on modern poetry, Dickson’s frequent use of dashes, occasional capitalization(大寫) of nouns, and unconventional metaphors(隱喻) have contributed to her reputation as one of the most inventive poets of the 19th century American literature. However, most of her poems were not published during her lifetime.

Preface to the fourth edition
A practical English Grammar is intended for intermediate(中級的) and post-intermediate students. We hope that more advanced learners and teachers will also find it useful.
The book is a comprehensive survey of structures and forms, written in clear modern English and illustrated with numerous examples. Areas of particular difficulty have been given special attention. Differences between conversational usage and strict grammatical forms are shown but the emphasis is on conversational forms.
1. Explanation and examples have been brought up to date.
2. There is now more information on countable and uncountable nouns, attributive and predicative adjectives, adverbs of places, sentence adverbs, cleft sentences, prepositions, conjunctives, modal verbs, perfect tenses, infinitive constructions, the passive, purpose clauses and nouns.
In the fourth edition the main changes are as follows.
3. Some material has been rearranged to make comparisons easier. For example, parts of chapters on can, may, must etc. are now grouped by functions; verbs of liking and preference have a chapter to themselves; suggestions and invitations have joined the chapter on commands, requests and advice.
4. The contents list now summaries every edition heading, and there is a new index containing many more entries references.
In this edition the sign “～” is frequently used to show a change of speaker in examples of dialogue. Note also that although the sign “＝”sometimes connects two words or expressions with the same meaning, it is often used more freely, e.g. to indicate a transformation from active to passive or direct to indirect speech.
We wish to thank all at Oxford University Press who have assisted in the preparation of the fourth edition. We would also like to thank Professor Egawa of Nihon University, Japan, Professor Rene Dirven of Duisburg University, West Germany and other colleagues for their friendly and helpful suggestions.
