Every year more people recognize that it is wrong to kill wildlife for “sport.” Progress in this direction is slow because shooting is not a sport for watching, and only those few who take part realize the cruelty and destruction.
The number of gunners, however, grows rapidly. Children too young to develop proper judgments through independent thought are led along way away by their gunning parents. They are subjected to advertisements of gun producers who describe shooting as good for their health and guncarrying as a way of putting redder blood in the veins (血管). They are persuaded by gunner magazines with stories honoring the chase and the kill. In school they view motion pictures which are supposedly meant to teach them how to deal with arms safely but which are actually designed to stimulate (刺激) a desire to own a gun. Wildlife is disappearing because of shooting and because of the loss of wildland habitat (栖息地). Habitat loss will continue with our increasing population, but can we slow the loss of wildlife caused by shooting? There doesn"t seem to be any chance if the serious condition of our birds is not improved.
Wildlife belongs to everyone and not to the gunners alone. Although most people do not shoot, they seem to forgive shooting for sport because they know little or nothing about it. The only answer, then, is to bring the truth about sport shooting to the great majority of people.
Now, it is time to realize that animals have the same right to life as we do and that there is nothing fair or right about a person with a gun shooting the harmless and beautiful creatures. The gunners like to describe what they do as character-building, but we know that to wound an animal and watch it go through the agony of dying can make nobody happy. If, as they would have you believe, gun-carrying and killing improve human-character, then perhaps we should encourage war.
小题1:According to the text, most people do not seem to be against hunting because___________.
A.they have little knowledge of itB.it helps to build human character
C.it is too costly to stop killing wildlifeD.they want to keep wildlife under control
小题2:The underlined word "agony" in the last paragraph probably means______________.
A.formB.ConditionC.painD.sadness

A.teach them how to deal with guns safely B.praise hunting as character-building
C.describe hunting as an exerciseD.encourage them to have guns of their own
小题4:It can be inferred from the text that the author seems to_____________.
A.blame the majority of peopleB.worry about the existence of wildlife
C.be in favour of warD.be in support of character-building

Thinking
·Some scientists claim that we humans are the only living things that are conscious(有意识的)—we alone are aware that we are thinking.
·No one knows how consciousness works—it is one of science’s last great mysteries.
·All your thoughts take place in the cerebrum(大脑皮质),which is at the top of your brain,and different kinds of thought are linked to different areas,called association areas.
·Each half of the cerebrum has four rounded ends called lobes(脑叶)—two at the front(frontal and temporal lobes)and two at the back(occipital and parietal lobes).
·The frontal lobe is linked to your personality and it is where you have your bright ideas.
·The temporal lobe is where you hear and understand what people say to you.
·The occipital lobe is where you work out what your eyes see.
·The parietal lobe is where you record touch,heat and cold,and pain.
·The left half of the brain controls the right side of the body.The right half controls the left side.

Professor Barry Wellman of the University of Toronto in Canada has invented a term to describe the way many North Americans interact(互动)these days.The term is “networked individualism”.This concept is not easy to understand because the words seem to have opposite meanings.How can we be individuals(个体)and be networked at the same time?You need other people for networks.
Here is what Professor Wellman means.Before the invention of the Internet and e-mail,our social networks included live interactions with relatives,neighbors,and friends.Some of the interaction was by phone,but it was still voice to voice,person to person,in real time.
A recent research study by the Pew Internet and American Life Project showed that for a lot of people,electronic interaction through the computer has replaced this person-to-person interaction.However,a lot of people interviewed for the Pew study say that’s a good thing.Why?
In the past,many people were worried that the Internet isolated(孤立)us and caused us to spend too much time in the imaginary world of the computer.But the Pew study discovered that the opposite is true.The Internet connects us with more real people than expected—helpful people who can give advice on careers,medical problems,raising children,and choosing a school or college.About 60 million Americans told Pew that the Internet plays an important role in helping them make major life decisions.
Thanks to the computer,we are able to be alone and together with other people—at the same time!

  In a recently published book, I came across some exercises with interesting names such as fishbone diagrams, lotus flowers and clustering. As I used these exercises in my classes, I noticed that students were interested. They said more and wrote more. They enjoyed expressing their ideas and sharing them in groups. They were no longer passively waiting for the bell , but actively taking part in the lesson. I find that creativity can act as a way to increase participation and improve fluency.
Creativity has become a popular word in recent years. Scholars in arts, psychology, business, education and science are all working to get a deeper understanding of it. Robert J. Stemberg is a creativity specialist and Yale professor of psychology. He defines creativity as “the ability to produce work that is both new (original) and appropriate(applicable to the situation ) ”. this definition is useful, as we want our students to use language in a new way and to use it correctly and properly. Mot scholars say there are two types of creativity: big “C” creativity and small “c” creativity. Big “C” creativity refers to genius level thinking that results in artistic masterpieces and scientific breakthroughs. Small “c” creativity refers to everyday level thinking that can be used in any situation our emphasis is on the latter. While it goes without saying that any of our students could go on to be the next Picasso or Edison, our aim is to help students produce more ideas and use language in a new way.
小题1:The underlined words “waiting for the bell ” in the first paragraph probably means______.
A.longing for a phone callB.hoping to have a bell

Just five one-hundredths of an inch thick and light golden in color, the Lay"s potato chip seems an unlikely weapon for global control. But its maker, Frito-Lay doesn"t think so. "Potato chips are a snack food for the world , "said Salman Amin, the company"s head of global marketing. Amin believes there is no corner of the world that can resist the attractions of a Frito-Lay potato chip.
Frito-Lay is the biggest snack maker in America owned by Pepsico and accounts for over half of the parent company"s $ 3 billion profits every year. But the U.S. snack food market is largely saturated(饱和),and to grow, the company has to look overseas.
Its strategy rests on two beliefs: first, a global product offers economies of scale(规模) with which local brands cannot compete. And second, consumers in the 21st century are drawn to "global" as a concept. "Global" does not mean products that are consciously regarded as American, but ones that consumers--especially young people--see as part of a modern, innovative(创新的) world in which people are linked across cultures by shared beliefs and tastes. Potato chips are an American invention, but most Chinese, for example, do not know that Frito-Lay is an American company. Instead, Riskey, the company"s research and development head, would hope they associate the brand with the new world of global communications and business.
With brand concept a key factor, Riskey ordered a redesign of the Frito-Lay logo(标识). The logo, along with the company"s long-held marketing image of its chips, would help make the company"s global development very easy.
The managers admit that they try to change national eating habits to a food created in America, but they don"t think that means economic imperialism (霸主).  "We"re making products in those countries, we"re adapting them to the tastes of those countries, building businesses and employing people and changing lives , "said Steve Reinemund, Pepsico"s chief manager.
小题1:Amin"s belief is that _________.
A.people all over the world enjoy eating their potato chips
B.the light golden color increases the attraction of their potato chips
C.they must find new ways to promote sales in their country
D.potato chips can hardly control the world market
小题2:What do we learn about Frito-Lay from Paragraph 2?
A.It gives half of its profits to its parent company every year.
B.It needs to turn to the world market for development.
C.Its products used to be popular among overseas consumers.
D.Its development has caused fierce competition in the snack market.
小题3:One of the concepts on which Frito-Lay bases its development strategy is that __________.
A.consumers worldwide today are attracted by global brands
B.products suiting Chinese consumers" needs bring more profits
C.local brands cannot compete successfully with American brands
D.products identified as American will have promising market value
小题4:Why did Riskey have the Frito-Lay logo redesigned?
A.To suit changing tastes of young consumers.
B.To compete with other American chip producers.
C.To change the company"s long-held marketing image.
D.To promote the company"s strategy of globalization.

This is John Roberts reporting from Cardiff. The result of the match which finished at four this afternoon between France and Wales was a draw. Neither side scored. The Dutch referee(裁判)did not allow the one goal which France managed to kick. The reason for this was that a French player was unfortunately off side. So both teams went home disappointed with the game. They particularly admired the French forwards, who were always fast and often threatened the Welsh defense. Once it looked as if the Welsh goalkeeper was in serious trouble. He dived to his right to save a shot from the French centre forward and crashed his head against the goal post. A doctor examined him and he soon began to play again. Of course the large, friendly crowd cheered for him. Wales will certainly welcome another visit from this splendid team.
小题1:This passage is__________.
A.a piece of sports news broadcast over radio
