In America，families are close but children
are encouraged to be independent，to make their own decisions，even at a very early age. It’s not unusual for a child of seven to be given an allowance(津贴)every week. The child is encouraged to save some of the money but he or she can spend it on whatever they choose，for example，buying clothes，school supplies or CDs. Some teenagers even have their own credit cards! That’s a big responsibility since even adults are tempted to overspend when they have credit cards.From an early age，American children are asked for their opinions and they are included in family decision making. At the dinner table，teenagers will be listened to on any topic，from politics to
buying a new family car or where the family will go on vacation. In this way, teenagers are getting practice in becoming individuals：they are learning how to stand on their own two feet.Many Chinese young people are becoming almost as interested as American teens in searching for independence. They want to express those qualities that make them unique human beings. You can see this in the way they dress, the music they listen to and the friends they choose. “Super Girl” Li Yuchun caught the imagination of Chinese teenagers on the “Super Girl” television contest. She was not the traditional “nice，young Chinese girl”. With her short，spiky hair and boy-like clothes, she was
telling everyone that she was different. She had the courage to be her own person and to stand on her own two 
feet...and she won!There is an old saying，“Everyone should carefully observe which way his heart draws him and then choose that way with all his strength.” If you do this, step by step, over a period of time, you may find that you have become the person you always wanted to be.

Pasricha said his blog aimed to highlight life"s simple pleasures, which were often take
n for granted, such as finding forgotten money in a pocket, or fixing a TV set with a heavy blow.Little did he realize his blog would strike a nerve and attract 40,000 people a day to join his discussions on how to enjoy the last triangle of a potato crisp, or the pleasure of laughing so hard that you cry.
Pasricha, aged 30, was amazed to win two Webby awards, known as "the Oscars of the Internet," something positive at a time when his marriage broke up and one of his closest friends committed suicide.
"I turned the worst year of my life into my best year by focusing on the positive. " Pasricha told Reuters in a telephone interview. "Every day I try to find something that is happy, free and universal to share, like the smell of a bakery or when a cashier opens up a new line at a store. "
Pasricha said when he began his blog in June 2008 he thought he might have trouble coming up with 1,000 simple, happy moments in life but now he is more than halfway through and ideas keep flooding in, from himself and from followers of his blog.
"These moments can start a huge conversation. Most of our life is really about hitting green lights on the way home from, or waking up before your alarm goes off and realizing you have more time in bed. But it is those small moments we forget about."
Despite the success of his blog, Pasricha does not want to change his daily life. “I travel regularly for an hour a day to work in the suburb. I like work because I like the people in my office. I’m not a writer and I don’t know how to use punctuations correctly. I just like observing the world and putting it down,” he said.

By now you are probably feeling the effects of the TV writers’ strike---the decision of television writers to stop working. With few new TV shows, I present to you a list of shows available on DVD worth your viewing time to keep you going during this painful period.
Arrested Development is one of the funniest and most clever shows ever to have appeared on network TV. With a most perfect cast(全体演员), the s
how sets out to cover the daily happenings of the Bluth family, a group of selfish staff who manage to stil
l put family first.For more comedy goodness, I recommend one of the sharpest comedies to have ever broadcast, 30 Rock. Starring Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin, two stars with impressive comic timing, the show gives you a glimpse into the making of a sketch show (幽默短剧),similar to Saturday Nigth Live, from the funny writers to the self-centered cast all the way up to the boss.
If you are looking for something more serious, or perhaps Friday Night lights might be more to your liking. If you are a fan of football, this show is probably for you. If you are a fan of great drama, both soapy and serious, this show is probably for you, If you are a fan of good-looking people, this show is definitely for you .
If those shows were not enough for you, might I recommend a show with a more heart-pounding excitemen
t? The Amazing Race, after twelve seasons, still remains one of the most exciting shows on TV. Teams of two travel the globe with little to no money and experience far-out adventures in an attempt to remain the last team standing.小题1:If you are fond of soapy TV shows, you will probably choose to watch .
| A．Friday Night Lights | B．30 Rock |
C．the Amazin g Race | D．Saturday Night Live |
| A．two teams won the amazing race |
| B．football fans enjoy the Amazing Race |
| C．the Bluths care about their family though selfish |
| D．30 Rock and Saturday Night Live have nothing in common |
| A．the effects of the TV writers’ strike are great |
| B．the strike puts TV shows in the worst situation |
| C．watching DVD is a good choice during the strike |
| D．we should choose DVD shows according to our tastes |
| A．a book review | B．a newspaper | C．a film poster | D．a DVD menu |
The government will require Beijingers to get licenses for their dogs, and will enforce the one-dog, one-family policy. Police say the "one-dog policy" is aimed at reducing the number of dog bites and lowering the risk of rabies. According to the Ministry of Health, rabies has become the top infectious disease in China. Dangerous dogs and dogs taller than 35 centimeters, such as Great Danes, have been banned from urban areas.
Pet owners are also required to clean up their dog"s droppings and make sure dogs are leashed (拴着), especially in public areas. Some public areas, such as banks, are closed to dogs entirely.
Dogs are regarded as man"s best friend and the history of raising dogs can be traced back to the stone age. It therefore seems sad that dogs are unwelcome in Beijing. But it is not the case that Beijingers dislike dogs. Actually, there are many dog lovers in Beijing. The city now has more than 550,000 registered dogs, up 20 percent from the previous year.
The problem is, actually, about living space. Different from many Westerners, most Beijingers live in urban apartment buildings, not houses in the suburbs. There is very limited open space for walking dogs. The barking, the waste, and unleashed dogs in buildings, elevators and places people gather can cause fear, fights and frustration.
Beijing is not the only city to have a dog problem. Paris, London, New York and Vienna all face similar challenges and have common rules for dogs and their owners.
小题1:Which of the following may be a suitable title for the story?
| A．Man"s Best Friend | B．Civilized Dog Raising |
| C．No Room For Dogs | D．When A Dog Bites A Man |
A．If a dog bites a m an, it will become an important news item. |
| B．Rabies is the most serious infectious disease in Beijing. |
| C．Soon there will be no dangerous dogs or dogs taller than 35 centimetres in Beijing. |
| D．Beijing has trouble accommodating so many dogs. |
| A．Walk your dog in public places. |
| B．Have more than one dog. |
| C．Raise your dog in urban apartment buildings. |
| D．Let your dog bark in places where people gather. |
lem in Beijing is _____________.| A．the limited living space in urban areas |
| B．its lack of rules for dogs and their owners |
| C．Beijingers and westerners having different lifestyles |
| D．the increasing number of dangerous dogs |
important to always try new things, otherwise you get left behind," he says． 
Yasuda is 95 years old．He and his colleagues, looking for easier ways to search the Web and send e-mail, represent a potential market for Apple （AAPL）"s iPad．The company has sold 3．27 million iPads since its launch in April,
but doesn"t break down sales figures by customer age, making it impossible to know with certainty how many seniors are buying them．However, anecdotal evidence suggests it"s a hit with the elderly．The iPad"s intuitive interface （直观界面） makes it appealing to senior citizens around the world, says Takahiro Miura, a researcher at the University of Tokyo: "The iPad is a good tool for the elderly because it"s very forgiving of mistakes．" Miura"s team uses computers to help train senior citizens to rejoin the workforce．"Unlike the PC, it doesn"t require previous knowledge," he says．
James Cordwell, a technology analyst at Atlantic-Equities in London, says the iPad"s popularity with the elderly is helping Apple reach beyond its traditional base of younger customer. “The world’s population, especially in developed markets, is getting older, and it’s probably a market where Apple has least entered,” Cordwell says. Elderly users are “a key source of growth for them in the future.”
The elderly in Japan, who make up an estimated 22 percent of the population, may prove particularly receptive to the iPad. They spend more than any other group in the country except for those under 30, according to a report by Japan"s Cabinet Office. Motoo Kitamura, 78, a former gas salesman, bought an iPad to help him communicate with his 2-year-old grandson and stave off dementia. "Trying new things like that is a good mental exercise," he says.
小题1:The underlined part “a hit” in Paragraph 2 may probably mean “ ”.
| A．a hard strike | B．a heavy burden | C．quite popular | D．very familiar |
| A．It has intuitive interface. | B．It is easier to operate. |
| C．It is more accessible to beginners. | D．It is a good mental exercise. |
| A．The people under thirty are the largest consumers in Japan except for the elderly. |
| B．The traditional customers of AAPL’s products are usually the yong. |
| C．The elderly will soon grow into the largest customer group in place of the young. |
| D．The elderly in Japan have great enthusiasm for latest hi – tech products. |
| A．The iPad leads Apple to the elderly |
| B．Ipad hits Japan’s store shelves |
| C．Ipad’s arrival in Tokyo causes Uapanese to reflect |
| D．AAPL attempts to balance the old and the yong |
The U.S. space agency NASA(美国宇航局) plans six more missions by its fleet of aging space shuttles by late next year or early 2011 after the construction of the $100 billion International Space Station (ISS) is completed. The shuttles will then be retired. But the head of Roscosmos, Russia"s space agency, said he would prefer to see further shuttle missions to the Space Station, now in orbit 360 km (225 miles) above Earth. "From some sources we have learned that it is possible to extend the life of the shuttle beyond 2011," Roscosmos chief Anatoly Perminov was quoted by RIA news agency as saying. Reuters was not invited to the briefing(简报会). "Then the situation would change substantially and it would be possible to work jointly with the Americans, unlike now, when the main burden (for the ISS) lies with the Russian side," Perminov was quoted as saying by Interfax. Perminov said he had not been told this through official channels, Interfax news agency reported. He added that NASA"s new chief and former astronaut Charles Bolden would visit Russia"s Baikonur cosmodrome on September 30 in his first foreign trip.
NASA"s future strategy is currently under review with the main focus on possible flights to Mars. It is also encouraging a private space taxi project to the ISS. NASA"s current plan, conceived under former President George Bush after the Columbia accident, is to complete the space station, retire the shuttles and build new spaceships. A new rocket and capsule to transport astronauts to the ISS is also being dev
eloped but will not be operational until about 2015. Until then, NASA will rely on Roscosmos and must pay $50 million per seat for flights to the ISS by Soyuz capsules.The U.S., Russian and Chinese governments are the only entities currently capable of human orbital space flight, although several U.S. companies are developing vehicles and support services to do so.
小题1:What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
| A．NASA agrees to extend the life of the shuttles beyond 2011. |
| B．Reuters was not invited to the briefing. |
| C．The US would work jointly with Russia. |
| D．NASA’s new chief would visit Russia’s Baikonur cosmodrome. |
| A．completing International Space Station |
| B．flights to Mars |
| C．retiring the current space shuttles |
| D．building new spaceships |
| A．International Space Station will be quit |
| B．Roscosmos will have to build more spaceships |
| C．NASA will have to quicken the development of the new rocket and capsule |
| D．Roscosmos will be burdened with the transportation to ISS |
| A．China has already been involved in the project of flights to Mars |
| B．it is certain the NASA will retire the current space shuttles as planned |
| C．NASA is considering Russia’s suggestion |
| D．NASA will be able to provide a private space taxi project to the ISS by 2015. |
