阅读理解。Finally, a cell phone
That"s… a phone
With rates as low as $3.75 per week !
"Well, I finally did it. I finally decided to enter the digital age and get a cell phone. My kids
have been annoying me and the last straw was when my car broke down, and I was stuck
by the highway for an hour before someone stopped to help. But when I went to the cell
phone store, I almost changed my mind. The phones all have cameras, computers and a
"global-positioning" something or other that"s supposed to spot me from space. Goodness,
all I want to do is to be able to talk to my grandkids!The people at the store weren"t much
help. They couldn"t understand why someone wouldn"t want a phone the size of a postage
stamp. And the rate plans! They were confusing and expensive… and the contract (合同)
lasted for two years! I"d almost given up until a friend told me about her new Jitterbug phone.
Now, I have the convenience and safety of being about to stay in touch with a phone
I can actually use. "
Affordable plans that I can understand一and no contract to sign (签订)!
Unlike
other cell phones,Jitterbug has plans that make sense. Why should I pay for minutes I" m
never going to use? And if I do talk more than I plan,I won "t find myself with no minutes
like my friend who has a prepaid phone. Best of all, there is no contract to sign, so I m not
locked in for years at a time. The US-based customer service is second to none. And the
phone gets service anywhere in the country.

阅读理解     Taking the dog to the beach on a hot summer"s day is a great way to relax. But not all beaches are dog
friendly. So if you"re looking to take your dog to the coast this summer, here"s a few of the country"s most
dog-friendly beaches.
题型:安徽省期中题难度:| 查看答案

Sunshine Beach Where: Noosa, Queensland
    
 Only a 10-minute drive from Noosa, Sunshine Beach also welcomes dogs with open paws. Once
known as Golden Beach, its long white beaches make it a paradise for anyone who loves fishing, boating,
surfing or just relaxing on the beach with family and friends.  Restrictions (限定): Dogs can freely explore
 the shoreline from Noosa National Park to the path leading from Seaview Terrace.

Tallow Beach Where: Byron Bay, New South Wales
     With white sand that stretches (延伸) for miles, and clean, clear waters washing its shores, Byron
certainly doesn"t want for beautiful beaches - and Tallow Beach is no exception
. This seven-kilometre-long beach stretches all the way to Broken Head Reserve.  Restrictions: The beach"s dog-friendly area starts
near Jarman Street and stretches north to the outside of Arakwal National Park.
Muirs Beach Where: Coles Bay, Tasmania    
     One of the few beaches that falls outside of Freycinet National Park, Muirs, is a great family beach
that welcomes dogs, too. Compared to famous sheltered beaches of Freycinet, it is more open to the
waves from the Tasman Sea, making it ideal for windsurfing. The beach itself is very long, so there is
plenty of space to let your dog run free.  Restrictions: Dog owners must respect the environment and
use the poop bags provided at the entrance to the beach to get rid of any dog waste. Fines apply (运用).
Yorkeys Knob Beach Where: Queensland
     Located just 15 minutes from Cairns, Yorkeys Knob Beach is a great spot to relax with your dog.
Named after a local fisherman called "Yorkey" who lived on the rocky hill ("knob"), this wonderful little
beach is one of the best-kept secrets in Tropical North Queensland. It is ideal for swimming and
snorkelling in the summer season.  Restrictions: The southern end of the beach is the "dog off-chain"
end where your dog is allowed to run free; dogs must be on a chain in all other areas of the beach.

     A letter to Edward,a columnist (报刊专栏作家)
     Dear Mr Expert,
     I grew up in an unhappy and abusive home.I always promised myself that I"d get out as
soon as possible.Now,at age 20,I have a good job and a nice house,and I"m really proud
of the independence I"ve achieved.
     Here"s the problem:several of my friends who still live with their parents wish they had
places like mine so much so that they make mine theirs.
     It started out with a couple of them spending the weekends with me.But now they seem
to take it for granted that they can show up any time they like.They bring boyfriends over,
talk on the phone and stay out forever.
     I enjoy having my friends here sometimes-it makes the place feel comfortable and warm
but this is my home,not a party house.I was old enough to move out on my own,so why can"t
I seem to ask my friends to respect my privacy (隐私)?
Joan
Edward"s reply to Joan
     Dear Joan,
     If your family didn"t pay attention to your needs when you were a child,you probably have
trouble letting others know your needs now.
     And if you"ve gathered your friends around you to rebuild a happy family atmosphere (气氛)
,you may fear that saying no will bring back the kind of conflict you grew up with-or destroy the
nice atmosphere you now enjoy.You need to understand that in true friendship it"s okay to put
your own needs first from time to time.
     Be clear about the message you want to send.For example,"I really love your company but
I also need some privacy.So please call before you come over."

A.Joan considers her friends more important than her privacy
