The Diary of a Young Girl is a book based on the writings from a diary written by Anne Frank
while she was in hiding for two years with her family during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands.
Anne Frank began to keep a diary on her thirteenth birthday, 12 June 1942, three weeks before
going into hiding with her mother Edith, father Otto sister Margot and four other people. With the
assistance of a group of Otto Frank "s trusted colleagues they remained hidden for two years and one
month. They were arrested in 1944 and sent to separate Nazi concentration camps. Anne Frank finally
died of typhus(斑疹伤寒) in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp shortly (about two weeks) before
liberation by British
troops in April 1945. Of the group of eight, only Otto Frank, Anne"s father, survived the war. After the
war, he got back the diary that was saved and kept by his friend.
When Otto Frank read his daughter"s diary, he was astonished. "I never knew my little Anne was so
deep". Anne Frank"s story has become an example of Jewish suffering under Adolf Hitler, and a warning
of the consequences of racism and persecution(迫害).
There has been guess about the identity of Kitty, who in Anne"s revised diary is the only receiver of
her letters. It was once thought that the name referred to Kitty Egyedi, a prewar friend of Frank"s.
However, Kitty Egyedi said in an interview that sh
e was flattered by the assumption but doubted the
diary was addressed to her: "Kitty became so idealized and started to lead her own life in the diary.
The name ... is not meant to be me."
The character"s fictional(虚构的) origin was proved undoubtedly later. Anne had expressed the
desire in the introduction of her diary for one person that she could call her truest friend, that is, a person
to whom she could confide her deepest thoughts and feelings. She observed that she had many "friends",
but (by her own definition) no true, dear friend with whom she could share her innermost thoughts.
In fact, the closest friend Anne had during her tragically short life was her diary, "Kitty", for it was only to "Kitty" that she entrusted her innermost thoughts.
B. Anne went into hiding in June 1942
C. Anne was arrested in August 1944
D. Anne died shortly after her 16th birthday
B. Anne kept on writing the diary in the hiding place and the camp.
C. British troops liberated Nazi concentration camps and saved Otto.
D. Anne and her mother and sister died in the Bergen-Belsen camp.
B. Kitty Egyedi could share her deepest thoughts.
C. she didn"t trust her family and other friends
D. she regarded her diary as her closet friend
4. Kitty Egyedi believed the "Kitty" Anne wrote to__________.
B. was a perfect character
C. must be Anne’s true friend
D. was totally invented by Anne
B. Anne’s miserable life after being caught
C. the Jews" suffering under Adolf Hitler
D. the evil of racism and persecution

want. But as Pamela McDonald explains diet is not merely a method for controlling weight, but has a
significant influence on health and quality of life.
I can hardly imagine that living on fried bacon would be a good way to lose weight and promote good
overall health. Likewise a steady diet of cabbage soup would likely become somewhat monotonous(单调乏味的) after a couple of days.
Pamela McDonald takes a different approach, there is no one-size-fits-all diet, different people need
different things. Although all humans are intrinsically(本质地) composed of the same material, the building blocks, our genes, are subtlety different.
The author maintains that one particular part of a person"s DNA, something called the APO E gene,
has much to do with how our body tolerates foods of different types. This gene comes in 8 varieties and
depending on the variety the food requirements are different. This has little to do with weight loss, and has more to do with overall good health. Weight gain is not a "problem" but rather a symptom. A diet alone
will not resolve the entire problem, it is merely one part of the larger picture.
I have to admit that parts of The APO E Gene Diet were a little heavy going, I appreciate that the
author felt the requirement to back up her claims with some scientific data, but for the lay(外行的) man
it makes for some rather difficult reading.
The second half of the book, is recipes, now this is something I do understand! She has created some
very innovative dishes, and certainly more than one that had me feeling hungry just reading them. My
favorite of them is a very traditional English dish the Cornish Pasty.
An interesting book and one that people should read, you can get your copy from Amazon.
B.To share her reviews of a book about diets.
C.To advertise for the Amazon online bookstore.
D.To introduce a new way of losing weight.
B. Humans are completely made up of the same genes.
C. Different APO E gene decides if you are healthy.
D. Diets alone can successfully help fat people lose weight.
B. It supports its arguments with convincing scientific explanation.
C. Parts of it are difficult for common readers to understand well.
D. It is a heavy book that is too long for many readers to finish.
B. Gaining weight indicates there may be something wrong with your health.
C. The writer is deeply attracted by the dishes introduced in the book.

One of the Oscar-nominated (提名的) movies I’ve seen this winter break is Slum-dog Millionaire.
Hopefully readers will also have an opportunity to enjoy the movie the way I have halfway around the
globe!
Slum-dog Millionaire is about a poor boy from the slums (贫民窟), Jamal, who ends up winning the
grand prize in an Indian show "Who Wants to be a Millionaire". The night before he answers the
prize-winning question, Jamal is captured by the police and tortured (拷打). They don’t believe a
slumdog like Jamal could answer seven questions correctly and possibly win 20 million rupees (卢比)!
But, as the movie unfolds, Jamal reveals (透露) how he found the answers to each of the questions.
Viewers also learn about Jamal"s childhood, his selfish older brother Salim, and his childhood lover,
Latika.
The movie’s point, however, is not just to tell a typical story of the underdog (弱者) who becomes a
hero. The director also uses Slum-Dog Millionaire to give viewers a taste of India. The movie begins in
Jamal’s childhood home in the slums of India. The place where he and his family lived reminds one of the
hutongs that used to make up a large part of Old Beijing. Jamal and his brother grow and travel across
India, meanwhile surviving as slum-dogs and cheaters, and India ages with them. By the time Jamal is 17
or 18, his old home has been replaced by a giant skyscraper (摩天大楼) financial center. Jamal and
Salim take a moment to reminisce (回忆) about their old lives, as they stand high up in a skyscraper that
is still under construction. The view from above reminded me of a similar view I had just two years ago in China: I was standing there in the living room of a family friend’s modern apartment, looking out through
a window down to the shacks (简陋的房屋) below just next to the building complex. It was amazing
how affluence and poverty could live so close together.
So, what was most appealing about the movie to me and my Indian friends was how we could relate
to the scenarios (情节) presented in the movie. More important than the plot was the window onto the
social and economic situations in Asia that it provided.

standards for various features (特征) of clothes. What seems strange, however, is that the
standard adopted for women is the opposite of the one for men. Take a look at the way
your clothes button. Men"s clothes tend to button from the right, and women"s from the left.
Considering most of the world"s population-men and women-are right-handed, the men"s
standard would appear to make more sense for women. So why do women"s clothes button
from the left?
History really seems to matter here. Buttons first appeared only on the clothes of the rich
in the 17th century, when rich women were dressed by servants. For the mostly right-handed
servants, having women"s shirts button from the left would be easier. On the other hand,
having men"s shirt button from the right made sense, too. Most men dressed themselves,
and a sword drawn from the left with the right hand would be less likely to get caught in the
shirt.
Today women are seldom dressed by servants, but buttoning from the left is still the
standard for them. Is it interesting? Actually, a standard, once set, resists change. At a time
when all women"s shirts buttoned from the left, it would have been risky for any single
manufacturer to offer women"s shirts that buttoned from the right. After all, women had
grown so used to shirts which buttoned from the left and would have to develop new habits
and skills to switch. Besides, some women might have found it socially awkward to appear
in public wearing shirts that buttoned from the right, since any one who noticed that would
believe they were wearing men"s shirts.
B. It is different for men"s clothing and women"s.
C. It works better with men than with women.
D. It fails to consider right-handed people.
B. manufacturers should follow standards
C. modern women dress themselves
D. customs are hard to change
B. making comparisons
C. examining differences
D. following the time order

had ever heard about tea．People in Britain were much slower in finding out what tea was like,
mainly because tea was very expensive. It could not be bought in shops and even those people
who could afford to have it sent from Holland did so only because it was a fashionable curiosity.
Some of them were not sure how to use it. They thought it was a vegetable and tried cooking
the leaves. Then they served them mixed with butter and salt. They soon discovered their
mistake but many people used to spread the used tea leaves on bread and give them to their
children as sandwiches.
Tea remained scarce (缺少的) and very expensive in England until the ships of the East
India Company began to bring it direct from China early in the seventeenth century. During
the next few years so much tea came into the country that the price fell and many people could
afford to buy it.
At the same time people on the Continent were becoming more and more fond of tea．
Until then tea had been drunk without milk in it, but one day a famous French lady named
Madame de Sevigne decided to see what tea tasted like when milk was added．She found
it so pleasant that she would never again drink it without milk. Because she was such a great
lady her friends thought they must copy everything she did, so they also drank their tea with
milk in it. Slowly this habit spread until it reached England and today only very few Britons
drink tea without milk.
At first, tea was usually drunk after dinner in the evening. No one ever thought of drinking
tea in the afternoon until a duchess (公爵夫人) found that a cup of tea and a piece of cake
at three or four o"clock stopped her getting "a sinking feeling" as she called it. She invited her
friends to have this new meal with her and so tea-time was born.
B. Tea reached Britain from Holland.
C．The Britons were the first people in Europe who drank tea.
D．It was not until the 17th century that the Britons had tea.
B．how tea became a popular drink in Britain
C．how the Britons got the habit of drinking tea
D．how tea-time was born
B．in sixteenth century
C．in seventeenth century
D．in the late seventeenth century
B．it tasted more pleasant
C．it became a popular drink
D．Madame de Sevinge was such a lady with great social influence that people tried to
copy the way she drank tea
to the influence of_______.
B．the ancient Chinese
C．the upper social class
D．people in Holland
