When we got to the hospital, we found Dad still coughed a lot, but his smile was as sure as ever. It was another attack of pneumonia(肺炎). My husband and I stayed with him for the weekend, but we had to go back to our jobs on Monday. Local relatives would help Dad get home from the hospital and look after him. But I wanted to let him know that we also cared about him. even when we weren't with him.
Then I remembered a family tradition (傳統(tǒng))when our children were small. Before leaving their grandparents' home after a visit, each child would write a love note to their grandparents. For days, their grandparents would smile as they read these notes of love.
So when I cleaned Dad's kitchen and made the bed for him, I wrote some notes. Some were like this, "Dad, I put the food in the fridge. " Some expressed my love, "Dad, I hope you will sleep well in your new bed. " Most notes were put downstairs where he would stay for several weeks when he was ill. But I put one note upstairs under his pillow(枕頭), "Dad, if yon have found this note, you must be feeling better. We are so glad!"
"These notes helped improve his health. Several weeks later, in one of our regular phone calls, I asked Dad how he was doing. He said, "Pretty good. I just found your note under my pillow upstairs!

Do you know of anyone who uses the truth to cheat? When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out (略去) important information that should be inside, 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 is 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 (政客) often use this trick. Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term, her state lost one million jobs and got three million jobs. Then she tries to get another term. One of her opponents (競(jìng)爭(zhēng)對(duì)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 increased 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 say that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company.
This kind of cheating happens too often. It’s a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.
小題1:We may infer that the author believes people should ________.
A.buy lottery tickets if possible
B.make use of half–truths
C.be careful about what they are told
D.not trust the Yucky Company
小題2:How many examples does the writer give to show how the truth is used to cheat?
A.OneB.TwoC.Three D.Four
小題3: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4: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.
C.Advertisers will sometimes use half truths.
D.It’s against the law to make false statements.

Being able to multitask-- doing several things at the same time--is considered a welcome skill by most people. But if we consider the situation of the young people aged from eight to eighteen, we should think again.
What we often see nowadays is that young people juggle a larger number of electronic products as they study. While working, they also surf on the Internet, send out emails, answer the telephone and listen to music on their iPods. In a sense, they are spending a large amount of time in fruitless efforts as they multitask.
Multitasking is even changing the relationship between family members. As young people give so much attention to their own worlds, they seem to have no time to spend with the other people around them. They can no longer greet family members when they enter the house, nor can they eat at the family table.
Multitasking also has an effect on young people's performance at university and in the workplace. When asked about their opinions of the effects of modern gadgets (器具) on their performance of tasks, many young people gave a positive (肯定的) answer. However, the response from the worlds of education and business was not quite as positive. Educators feel that multitasking by children has a serious effect on later development of study skills. They believe that many college students now need help to improve their study skills. Similarly, employers (雇主) feel that young people entering the job market need to be taught all over again, as modern gadgets have made it unnecessary for them to learn special skills to do their work.
小題1:What does the underlined word "juggle" most probably mean?
A.Want to buy.
B.Use at the same time.
C.Take the place of.
D.Search information from.
小題2:In Paragraph 3, the author points out that ________.
A.family members do not greet each other
B.family members do not eat at the family table
C.young people get on well with their families
D.young people hardly communicate with their family members
小題3:What's the main idea of the last paragraph?
A.Young people must learn skills for future jobs.
B.Young people benefit (獲益) a lot from modern gadgets.
C.Multitasking is an important skill to young people.
D.Multitasking influences young people's development seriously.
小題4:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.Young people think multitasking is good for their study and work.
B.Employers consider it unnecessary for young people to be taught all over again.
C.Educators feel that young people don't need to improve their study skills.
D.People from the world of education believe multitasking has a good effect on children's later study skills.
小題5:The author develops (闡述) the passage mainly by ________.
A.providing special examples
B.following the natural time order
C.giving out a cause and analyzing (分析) its effects
D.comparing opinions from different worlds

Good morning, class!
We know that there are too many net bars around us. The Internet is popular and it makes our lives colorful. Many of us like going online very much because we can learn how to use the computer and get more information from the Internet. We can learn English. We can read some good newspapers and magazines.

Today we can use the Internet for many things: shopping, business, writing letters, talking to people, getting information and so on. In recent years, a new kind of English has grown on the Internet. There's no real word for it yet, so we call it e-talk.
People don't like typing too much. To save time, they turn phrases into a few letters, acronyms(首字母縮略詞). Acronyms are often used in chat rooms. Some are as follows:
BRB (be right back), BTW (by the way), LOL (laughing out loud), IMO (in my opinion)
People also use many abbreviations. They are shortened forms of words. Some common abbreviations include info (information), pic (picture), puter (computer), sec (second), etc.
We usually don't see people when we communicate on the Net, so people have new ways to show feelings. Most people use their keyboards to draw "feelings", such as:
:-)  (happy)     ;-)  (joking)       :-(  (sad)        :-O  (surprised)
These days, many public discussions have picture feelings, for example:
    
(happy)           (sad)            (angry)           ( (cool)
There are even whole new words, like "newbies"(someone who is new on a chat board or forum). When you write something bad about someone else, it's called "burning" the person.
It takes time for people to get used to e-talk. Also, different groups on the Net have their own special ways of communicating. Newbies sometimes have to ask other people what they mean. As the Internet grows, e-talk will continue to grow and change.
小題1:Why do people type acronyms?
A.To type them quickly.B.To make jokes.
C.To make newbies puzzled.D.To show their feelings.
小題2:What does the sentence “BTW, my puter is not working well. :-( ”mean?
A.The person is happy about getting a new computer.
B.The person has to go away from their computer.
C.The person is sad that his computer is having problems.
D.The person is angry at somebody.

A.   LOL      B. BRB.               C.   D.

Experts(專家) say that students usually need eight to ten hours' sleep at night, but most Chinese students do not get enough sleep. Some Chinese parents usually feel happy to see their children studying late. They will think their children work very hard.
But not all parents think about this. Once a mother told us that every morning her l0-year-old boy puts up one finger with his eyes still closed, begging(乞求)one more minute to sleep. Like thousands of student "Early Birds " in China, he has to get up before six every morning.
A report shows that if(如果) they don't have a good night's sleep, students will be tired(疲倦)next day. Many students have fallen asleep (入睡) during classes. Too much homework is not the only reason(原因) why students stay up late. Some watch TV or play games late in the night.

"How are you?" is a nice question. It's a friendly way that people in the USA greet each other. But "How are you?" is also a very unusual question. It's a question that often doesn't need an answer. The person who asks "How are you?" hopes to hear the answer "Fine", even if the person's friend isn't fine. The reason is that "How are you?" isn't really a question and "Fine" isn't really an answer. They are simply other ways of saying "Hello" or "Hi".
Sometimes, people don't say exactly what they mean. For example, when someone asks "Do you agree?", the other person might think, "No, I disagree. I think you're wrong..."But it isn't very polite to disagree so strongly, so the other person might say "I'm not sure." It's a nicer way to say that you don't agree with someone.
People don't say exactly what they are thinking when they want to finish talking with other people. For example, many talks over the phone finish when one person says "I've to go now."Often, the person who wants to hang up gives an excuse:"Someone's at the door.""Something is burning on the stove."The excuses might be real, or not. Perhaps the person who wants to hang up simply doesn't want to talk any more, but it isn't polite to say that. The excuse is more polite, and it doesn't hurt the other person.
Whether they are greeting each other, talking about an idea, or finishing a talk, people don't say exactly what they are thinking. It's an important way that people try to be nice to each other, and it's part of the game of language.
小題1:When a person in America asks "How are you?", he or she wants to hear" ________ "
A.How are you?
B.Hello.
C.I don't know.
D.Fine.
小題2:When a person disagrees with someone, it is polite to say"_________ "
A.You are wrong. I disagree.
B.I'm not sure.
C.I'm sure I disagree.
D.I don’t agree with you.
小題3:A polite way to finish a talk is to say"__________"
A.You have to go now.
B.I want to hang up.
C.I have to go now.
D.I don't want to talk any more.
小題4:When a person says "I've got to go now. Someone's at the door.", the person may be_______.
A.giving an excuse
B.hurting someone's feelings
C.talking to a person at the door
D.going to another place
小題5:The rule of the game of language is probably____________ .
A."Always say what you mean"
B."Don't disagree with people."

Do you like to sit in front of the computer and play computer games hour after hour? Have you ever thought of what that may be doing to your health? More and more children are becoming overweight(肥胖的) and growing less creative because they spend too much time in front of the computer according to a survey.
Last week Child Protective Services(兒童保護(hù)組織)in America organized an activity. The aim of the activity was to encourage children to do some outdoor activities instead of playing computer games at home. Many American children spend about 1,000 hours a year playing computer games — more time than they spend in school. As a result, they are overweight. Some of them have very poor eyesight, and they can’t see clearly.
Everyone should pay attention to his health and try to keep healthy. The doctor says that the longer children play computer games, the more overweight they may become. And the junk food children eat while they’re playing computer games makes the weight problem more serious.
To keep fit, children need to take exercise regularly, play outside with friends, and explore the world around them. Can you spend two weeks without playing computer games? It might be difficult for computer lovers, but why not have a try?
小題1:Children may become______ if they play computer games all day.
A.much youngerB.much lighterC.less creativeD.less careful
小題2:American children may spend______ hours in school a year according to the passage.
A.less than 1,000B.more than 1,200C.a(chǎn)bout 1,500D.a(chǎn)bout 2,000
小題3:The underlined word “eyesight” means “______” in Chinese.
A.凝聚力B.想象力C.記憶力D.視力
小題4:What can we learn from the passage?
A.Playing computer games has caused some health problems.
B.Playing computer games can make children cleverer and more creative.
C.Child Protective Services in America organized an activity for parents.
D.Child Protective Services asked children to study at home and not to play outdoors.
