Mouse potatoes joined couch potatoes (who spend much time watching TV on the couch), google officially became a verb and drama queens (extremely emotional persons) finally found the attention when they crossed over from popular culture to mainstream English language.

America’s first dictionary － Noah Webster’s A Compendious Dictionary of the English Language － was published 200 years ago and also introduced some fresh words that have now become familiar. Those “new” words in 1806 included slang, surf, psychology, naturally and Americanize.

Scientific Progress
Most scientific progress is the result of careful consideration of work that has already been done. The wonderful world which lies before us today has been put up by hardworking men with clear heads and inventive mind, and these who follow them along life’s road will improve on their efforts. It is sometimes necessary to question and even to disbelieve some of the statements made by experts. Action or experiment can often end an argument or achieve a breakthrough.
When men were wondering whether it was possible to reach India by sailing westwards from Europe, and whether there was any land on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, Christopher Columbus decides to act. He gathered some men, invited them to go on board his three ships, and set out across the dangerous waters of the Atlantic Ocean. He was successful in finding land, but it was not India. The result of his action was that the arguments came to the end.
Any young man who wishes to do research must be courageous enough to question old beliefs and do some original thinking about them. Although we seem to know so much, there are many things we don’t know. Even when we pull an atom to pieces, we do not really know what the pieces are, we often do not reach the reality behind what we discover, and the more we learn, the better we realize our ignorance.
小題1:Christopher Columbus decided to set out his trip because he wants to ________

Do you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive(欺騙)? When someone tells you something that is true，but leaves out important information that should be included, he can give you a false picture．
For example，someone might say, “I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery(彩票). It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!”
This guy’s a winner，right? Maybe，maybe not．We then discover that he bought $ 200 worth of tickets，and only one was a winner．He’s really a big loser!
He didn’t say anything that was false，but he left out important information on purpose．That’s called a half-truth．Half truths are not technically lies，but they are just as dishonest．
Some politicians often use this trick．Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term，her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs．Then she seeks an  other term．One of her opponents(對手)says，“During Governor Smith’s term，the state lost one million jobs!” That’s true．However，an honest statement would have been，“During Governor Smith’s term，the state had a net gain of two million jobs．’’
Advertisers will sometimes use half—truths．It’s against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead you with the truth．An advertisement might say，“Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache．”It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company．
This kind of deception happens too often．It’s a sad fact of life：Lies are lies，and sometimes the truth can 1ie as well．
小題1:How much did the lottery winner lose?
A．one hundred dollars．B．Two hundred dollars．
C．Three hundred dollars．D．Four hundred dollars．
小題2:We may infer that the author believes people should ________.
A．buy lottery tickets if possibleB．make use of half—truths
C．be careful about what they are toldD．not trust the Yucky Company
小題3: How many examples does the writer give to show how the truth is used to deceive?
A．One．B．Two．C．Three．D．Four．
小題4:Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A．Using half truths is against the law．
B．Technically，half truths are in fact lies．
C．Yucky Pills is a very good medicine for toothache．
D．Governor Smith did a good job during her last term．
小題5:Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?
A．He’s really a big loser!
B．Sometimes the truth can lie as well．

If women are mercilessly exploited year after year, they have only themselves to blame．Because they tremble at the thought of being seen in public in clothes that are out of fashion, they are always taken advantage of by the designers and the big stores．Clothes which have been worn only a few times have to be put aside because of the change of fashion．When you come to think of it, only a woman is capable of standing in front of a wardrobe packed full of clothes and announcing sadly that the has nothing to wear．
Changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste．Many women spend vast sums of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn．Women who can not afford to throw away clothing in this way, waste hours of their time altering（改變） the dresses they have．Skirls are lengthened or shortened; neck-lines are lowered or raised, and so on．
No one can claim that the fashion industry contribulea anything really important to society．
Fashion designers are rarely concerned with vital things like warmth, comfort and durability．They are only interested in outward appearance and they take advantage of the fact that women will put up with any amount of discomfort, as long as they look right．There can hardly be a man who hasn't at some time in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in a thin dress on a winter day, or delicately picking her way through deep snow in high —heeled shoes．
When comparing men and women in the matter of fashion, the conclusions to be drawn are obvious．Do the constantly changing fashions of women's clothes, one wonder, reflect basic qualities of inconstancy and instability? Men are too clever to let themselves be cheated by fashion designers．Do their unchanging styles of dress reflect basic qualities of stability and reliability? That is for you to decide．

A．by constantly changing the fashions in women's clothing
B．by mercilessly exploiting women workers in the clothing industry
C．because they are able to predict new fashions for the coming season
D．because they attach great importance to quality of women’s clothing

A．a(chǎn) waste of moneyB．a(chǎn)n expression of taste

小題3:According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?
A．The fashion industry makes an important contribution to society
B．The constant changes in women’s clothing reflect their strength of characters
C．Fashion designs should not be encouraged since they are only welcomed by women

New rules will let millions of Americans know where more of their food comes from．The law is known as COOL—Country of Origin Labeling．
American Congress first passed the law in 2002．Stores have had to label seafood by country of origin since 2005．But industry pressure delayed other requirements until last week．
Products that must now be labeled include fresh fruits and vegetables, muscle meats and some kinds of nuts．But the rules are complex, and many foods are excluded．For example, organ meats are free to be labeled．So are processed foods, including cooked or smoked food．
The United States has imported more and more food in recent years to save money and expand choices．Country-of-origin labeling has become more common lately but has still been limited in many stores．
Food safety is one reason why some shoppers pay close attention to where foods came from．For example, when a large number of people recently got sick from salmonella（沙門菌�。�, officials blamed peppers from Mexico．Yet the last big food scare involved spinach （菠菜） grown in California．But labeling is also a way for people to know they are getting what they want．Some want to buy local foods or foods from a particular country．
The country-of-origin labeling law gives stores 30 days to correct any violations that are found．Stores and suppliers that are found to be deliberately violating the law could be fined 1000 dollars per violation．Federal inspectors are not to take action to enforce the law for six months to give time for an education campaign．
Some food safety activists say they are generally pleased with the law．They call it a good step that will give people more useful information．
小題1:Why has more and more food been imported to the United States in recent years?
A．Because it is economical and provides people with more choices．
B．Because the United States is short of food supply．
C．Because Americans need more and more food recently．
D．Because foreign food is of higher quality than native food．
小題2:What’s the regulation in the new rules?
A．Stores have to label food by its producing date from now on．
B．The country-of-origin labeling has to be marked on more food．
C．Stores have to label seafood by country of origin．
D．Labeling of food should include more useful information．
小題3:The new rules of the country-of-origin labeling law will come into effect ______．
A．right nowB．in a month
C．in three monthsD．in half a year
小題4:Consumers are more concerned about where foods came from because ______．
A．they are curious about the country of the food origin
B．they are particular about the tastes of the food
C．they are concerned about food safety and want to get what they want
D．most of the shoppers are food safety activists themselves
