     Every year when the Italian artist Michelangelo"s (1475-1564, 意大利文艺复兴时期著名雕刻家、画家、
建筑师) birthday comes around, computer users all over the world are filled with fear (害怕) and use their
computers with care. Some may even choose not to turn on their computers on March 3. All this fear and care
are just because a deadly computer virus is ready to cause damages (破坏) on that day.
     What"s a computer virus then? Why do people get so afraid of it?
     A computer virus is, in fact, a little program that is put into other programs and that does something bad.
It is called a virus because, like any real-life viruses such as AIDs virus, it reproduces itself. And when these
programs are run, the virus is brought to life. It hides itself in your computer system waiting for the right
moment to make damages. And at the same time it keeps producing itself by copying itself onto other programs.
     The Michelangelo virus waits until the artist"s birthday comes around, and then it will wake up to do very
bad things like destroying you files (毁坏文档). So next time when you turn on your computer, look out for
computer viruses!

1. The Italian artist Michelangelo _____. A. was born six centuries ago
B. was born on March 3, 1475
C. died six centuries ago
D. died on March 3, 1564 2. Why are computer users full of fear on March 3? Because _____. A. it is the birthday of a famous Italian artist

阅读理解。     Thailand is an amazing place to teach English. But times are changing and Footprints is looking for the best
and the brightest to fill the teaching positions. As of March 2009, the Teachers Council introduced the following amendments (修改) to ensure that all teachers in Thailand have a minimum (最小) number of Education course credits along with their bachelor" s degree.
     The following teaching requirements apply to (适用于) English teachers in Thailand:

      ☆ pass an exam on several aspects of education ( nearly impossible without Education Courses) or
      ☆ complete a prescribed (规定的) set of education courses through an approved Thai University
      ●A foreign teacher must be a native English speaker with an Australian, Canadian, Irish, New Zealand,
South African, British or American passport.
      If the foreign person is employed teaching while completing the courses, they"ll have to take night and
weekend courses. The courses take almost one year to complete. The cost for the courses is 60,000 baht.

阅读理解。     Many people easily feel disappointed whenever they fail in their business. The failures may lead them to
pessimism (悲观主义). The following saying" Failure is the mother of success" has been used to encourage
these sorts of people.
     At first," everything is difficult at the beginning". When we start carrying out a certain plan, although it is
carefully planned, we still meet some unexpected difficulties. For example, a farmer tried to sow a new kind
of seeds. To his disappointment, the new seeds did not produce him a good crop as expected, while his
neighbor farmer sowed the same seeds but harvested better. Our unfortunate farmer did not lose hope and was
determined to find out the causes of his failure: he tried to better his soil and finally succeeded in collecting 5
tons of rice per hectare.
     If you lose one go, try another. The patience and persistence (坚持) are important. Drawing experience
from failures, finally we"ll succeed. Our success comes from our determination after failures. Demosthenes,
the greatest Athenian orator (雄辩家 ), before becoming famous, had to suffer so many failures. The audience
paid little attention to his political speeches because of his weak voice. He determined to get rid of this defect.
Day after day, he went to the sea, shouting with very loud sounds of waves and in the end he got a convincing (令人信服的) voice.
     The above saying is quite right when used in pupils" lives. If you are weak at certain subjects, don"t be
disappointed. Go on with your study. You should learn more from your friends, your teachers and others and
listen to their advice. In this way, you can get over your defects and weaknesses. 1. This passage is most probably written for ______.A. parents
B. teachers
C. students
D. businessmen2. We can learn from the passage that ______. A. the value of failures is to get experience from them
B. he who laughs last laughs best
C. you can"t judge a book by its cover
D. all successes are followed by failures 3. The underlined word" defect" in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to" ______ .A. weakness
B. power
C. idea
D. thought 4. The saying "Failure is the mother of success" can serve as a guide for those who____. A. dare not carry out a certain plan
B. show pessimism after their failures
C. don"t know what the saying means
D. have never failed before in their lives

阅读理解。     Babies can learn new words if they are connected with objects that catch their attention, researchers at the
Infant Lab at Temple University in Philadelphia have found.
     "They hear every word," said Kathy Hirsh-Pasek, professor of psychology at Temple University. "And they
are also paying attention to the things that are interesting to them."
     Previous studies showed babies as young as 10 months old may understand about 10 words. But Infant Lab
researchers wanted to figure out how these infants actually learned words. So they tested more than 75 babies,
showing them a series of objects and attaching made-up names to them. They would ask the babies questions,
and then track their eyes to measure their responses.
     So, could the babies remember the names? They found infants could match words with objects. But they
also discovered babies only associated the new words with the objects that caught their attention-interesting
objects. They did not associate words with the boring, dull objects.
      For parents, the message in all this is that very young children are listening and learning language. And they
learn about the things that specifically interest them.
     Twins Mark and Anita Farrell took part in the study when they were 10 months old, and their mother,
Penni Farrell, took home what she learned about baby behavior.
     "I decided to go out and buy a couple of books that and more colorful images, words, things that would
draw their attention," she said.
     Researchers say parents should follow a baby" s lead.
     Another lesson for parents, researchers say, is to talk with your children starting at a very young age, and
make sure that conversation is about something your child finds interesting.1. The purpose of this research is _____. A. to help parents teach their babies
B. to figure out how parents teach their babies
C. to find out how babies learn words
D. to help babies learn words 2. The research showed that _____. A. a ten-month-old baby can" t understand 10 words
B. babies can" t remember interesting names
C. babies can associate words with boring objects too
D. babies can match the new words with interesting objects3. From the results of the research, parents can develop babies" talking ability by _____. A. talking with babies time and time again
B. talking with babies as much as possible
C. talking with babies about topics interesting them at a very young age
D. talking to babies before they are born 4. The best title of this passage probably is ______. A. Attractive Objects Help Babies Learn New Words
B. How To Talk With Babies At Their Very Young Age
C. The Importance of Teaching Babies to Learn New Words
D. How do Make Babies Talk With Their Parents

阅读理解。     Whatever our differences as human beings are we all think we"re more like the rest of the animal world
than we realize. It is said that we share 40 percent of our genetic (遗传的) structure with the simple worm.
     But that fact has helped Sir John Sulston win the 2002 Nobel Prize for Medicine. Sir John is the founder
of the Sanger Institute in Cambridge, which was set up in 1992 to get further understanding of the human
genome (染色体组).
     To help them do this, they turned to the worm. The nematode (线虫类的) worm is one of the earliest
creatures on planet earth. It is less than one millimeter long, completely transparent and spends its entire life
digging holes through sand. But it still has lots to say about human life, and what can be done to make it
better.
     What the worm told Sir John and his colleagues was that each of the cells in the human body is
programmed like a computer. They grow, develop and die according to a set of instructions that are coded
in our genetic make-up.
     Many of the diseases that humans suffer from happen when these instructions go wrong or are not
obeyed. When the cell refuses to die but carries on growing instead, this leads to cancer. Heart attacks and
diseases like AIDS cause more cell deaths than normal, increasing the damage they do to the body. Sir John
was the first scientist to prove the existence of programmed cell death. 1. Sir John Sulston got a Nobel Prize for Medicine because he has _____ . A. found that human beings are similar to the worm
B. got the fact we share 40 percent of our genetic structure with the simple worm
C. found the computer which controls each of the cells in the human body
D. proved that cell death is programmed 2. People might be seriously ill if the cells in their body _____.A. grow without being instructed
B. die regularly
C. fail to follow people"s instructions
D. develop in the human body3. The underlined word " they" in Paragraph 5 refers to _____.A. cell deaths
B. diseases
C. instructions
D. cells4. What is the subject discussed in the text?A. The theory of programmed cell deaths.
B. A great scientist-Sir John Sulston.
C. The programmed human life.
D. Dangerous diseases.
