The George Lucas film，which features the changing of Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker into the evil Darth Vader，also beat the opening day record held by"Spider-Man 2"，which made﹩40.4million when it opened on a Wednesday last June．

4．It happened to me recently．I was telling someone how much I had enjoyed reading Barack Obama's Dreams From My Father and how it had changed my views of our President．A friend I was talking to agreed with me that it was，in his words，"a brilliantly （精彩地）written book"．However，he then went on to talk about Mr．Obama in a way which suggested he had no idea of his background at all．I sensed that I was talking to a book liar．
And it seems that my friend is not the only one．Approximately two thirds of people have lied about reading a book which they haven't．In the World Book Day's"Report on Guilty Secrets"，Dreams From My Father is at number 9．The report lists ten books，and various authors，which people have lied about reading，and as I'm not one to lie too often （I'd hate to be caught out），I'll admit here and now that I haven't read the entire top ten．But I am pleased to say that，unlike 42percent of people，I have read the book at number one，George Orwell's 1984．I think it's really brilliant．
The World Book Day report also has some other interesting information in it．It says that many people lie about having read Jane Austen，Charles Dickens，F(xiàn)yodor Dostoevsky （I haven't read him，but haven't lied about it either） and Herman Melville．
Asked why they lied，the most common reason was to"impress"someone they were speaking to．This could be tricky if the conversation became more in-depth!
But when asked which authors they actually enjoy，people named J．K．Rowling，John Grisham，Sophie Kinsella （ah，the big sellers，in other words）．Forty-two percent of people asked admitted they turned to the back of the book to read the end before finishing the story （I'll come clean：I do this and am astonished that 58percent said they had never done so）．

6．How did the author find his friend a book liar？D
A．By judging his manner of speaking．
B．By looking into his background．
C．By mentioning a famous name．
D．By discussing the book itself．
7．Which of the following is a"guilty secret"according to the World Book Day report？B
A．Charles Dickens is very low on the top-ten list．
B.42% of people pretended to have read 1984．
C．The author admitted having read 9books．
D．Dreams From My Father is hardly read．
8．By lying about reading，a person hopes toB．
A．control the conversation 
B．appear knowledgeable
C．learn about the book 
D．make more friends
9．What is the author's attitude to 58% of readers？C
A．Favorable．
B．Uncaring
C．Doubtful
D．Friendly．

3．SINCE it's home to a famous university，a lot of people think Oxford，an English city west of London，is very wealthy．In fact，that's not quite the case．Many neighborhoods in and around Oxford are quite poor Children in these areas often don't have the best opportunities  in life．Some of them never even get to go 0n holiday．
    While a student at university，I ran a charity called Vacproj   （short for"Vacation Project"）that helped such children go on holiday．Over a year，we raised money  by writing letters to businesses and standing in the street with buckets（桶），We managed to pay for 36 children to go on a holiday．They were aged from about 6 to 11 years old．Altogether，this cost more than 25，000 pounds  （232，100yuan）．
These holidays took place every summer a part of England called Sussex．Around 20 students from my university volunteered to help．Every day，we went on a different trip：one day it was ice-skating，another time we went to the zoo．One day，went on a trip to a castle．We told them old legends（傳說） of the ghosts who lived there and all the kings and queens who had passed through，All these trips required a lot of preparations．For example，on a climbing trip we had to teach the kids about safety and how to use  ropes．
    The holiday was by far the most tiring experience of my life．Every day，I had to wake up at 6 am，and  I didn't get to  bed until l am．The children never，ever ran out  of energy，and we were responsible for all of  them Some of the kids were very naughty； others refused to eat  certain kinds of  food．There were always problems to deal with．We had to be their parents for the week，and care for them as parents would．
Though the trip may have been very tiring，it was also the best I've ever been on．At every new tourist site，the kids eyes lit up with excitement．They were very funny，and weren't afraid of making fun of us． We left the holiday with a new perspectiveon life； children may be the most tiring people in the world，but they're also the most interesting．
46．According to the article，the purpose of Vacproj  is toB．
    A．promote tourism in the city of Oxford    B．help poor children go on holiday

48．The author found the trips with the children to SussexB．
    A．boring    B．rewarding    C．unbearable    D．relaxing
49．What does the underlined word"perspective"meanD

50．The article is mainly aboutB．
   A．neighborhoods in Oxford that  still suffer from poverty

20．Every student can learn rope jumping．
You can jump alone or with your classmate．You can also help turn a long rope for many others to jump over，one at a time．If you jump alone，you will need a short rope and it will be just enough for your height．Try ropes of different lengths until you find a right one for your size．
A rope should be turned slowly．It must also be turned high enough to let you jump freely and safely．Turning the rope freely and safely needs careful timing．In rope jumping，timing means turning the rope slowly enough for you to jump over at the right time without its striking your feet．
When you jump rope，your heart beats faster and your face has a healthy color．But if you jump too many times at first，you will get fired．You must learn when to stop for a rest before you jump again，If you practice，you can increase the number of times without resting．
46．How many people can join in rope jumping？B

18．College isn't high school．In college，when a professor has treated you unfairly，you can't turn to your mother and ask her to call the headmaster to complain．In college，you are either expected to A） take the disrespect，move on with your life and wish that the professor would still give you an A on your next test，or B） go to their office，stand your ground，and tell them exactly how they have wronged you．Both choices have their consequences，but it's up to you to tell the difference between action and inaction．I think students often forget that one of the main purposes of college is to prepare you to be independent in life．In college，you live off-campus，often in a different state or city，far away from your close family and friends．You choose your own schedule．No one forces you to go to class．The way some students deal with that sudden independence and freedom is very telling of how they end up performing in college．
    There is some argument whether academics（學業(yè)） are the main focus of college，I think social relationships should come first．I'm not just saying this because I'm lazy and have bad grades．You can get through high school without ever interacting with a single person---but in college，you can't，nor do you want to．Do you really want to enter the job market without a single friend？You don't want to stay alone in your dorm room for entire four years．Make a few friends---aside from your roommates．In my case，when I have had roommate problems，I've needed to turn to a separate group of friends that can turn me away from the trouble．Being part of clubs and sports is another great way to do this---not only will you be making friends，you'll also be gaining a new skill．
 
36．According to the writer，what college is different from high school is thatB
A．you can't complain the headmaster by calling your mother
B．you can only solve the problem by yourself
C．your mother can't call the headmaster
D．your mother can only solve the problem by calling the headmaster
37．What does the underlined phrase"stand your ground"in Paragraph 1 mean？A
A．Refuse to give in．
B．Stand on the ground．
C．Admit your mistake．
D．Apology for your opinion．
38．Your performance in college probably depends onD．
A．how hard you work at your studies
B．how independent you are in your studies
C．how free you feel at most time in college
D．how well you deal with your time in college
39．Which of the following statements is not true according to the writer？C
A．People don't agree on what is the main focus of college．
B．Social relationship is the most important thing in college．
C．Though I don't admit，I am lazy and have bad grades in college．
D．You have to interact with people before you go through your college．
40．The passage is mainly written toD
A．compare college and high school
B．advise us to deal with the professor's unfair treatment
C．advise us how to deal with the problems with roommates in college
D．tell us how to deal with relationships in college．
