阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后从下列各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
Sometimes people call each other “scared-cat”, but have you ever thought about this expression? When a cat is frightened, its heart starts beating faster, its muscles (肌肉) get tense, and there are changes in the chemicals in its blood-stream.
Although the cat doesn’t 36  this, its body is getting ready for action. If the danger continues, this animal will do one of the two things. It will 37 itself, or it will run away as fast as it can.
   38 , when people are excited, angry, scared, or aroused by other emotions, our bodies also go through many 39  changes. Our hearts beat faster, and our muscles get tense. All of these changes make us more alert and ready to react. We, too, get ready to defend ourselves 40  run.
Human beings, 41  , have a problem that animals never face. If we give way to our feelings and let them 42  , we can get into trouble. Have you ever said something in anger, or hit somebody and regretted it later? Have you ever shouted at a teacher, told someone you were lonely, or said you were in love, and then 43  later you had kept your mouth shut? It isn’t always 44  to express your feelings freely.
Does this mean that it’s smarter always to 45  our feelings? No! If you 46  feelings of anger, sadness, and bitterness hidden away or bottled up inside, your body stays47  . Physical illnesses can develop. It can actually be48  for your health.
Feelings that you keep all bottled up inside, don’t just 49  . It’s like you bought some bananas and stuck them in a cupboard. You might not be able to see them, but 50  you’d smell them. And if you opened the cupboard, you’d  51  little fruit flies hovering (盘旋) all over them. They’d be rotten.
You can try to treat emotions 52  they were bananas in the cupboard. You can 53  they don’t exist, but they’ll still be 54  . And at last you’ll have to 55  them, just like those bananas.

举一反三
  Everyone knows that you can study the English language for years and still not understand a native speaker of English.
Well, here’s a secret for you: a lot of British people can’t understand each other either! Apart from the different regional accents across the country, language can also differ (不同) among age groups. The words and pronunciations used by young Britons can be very different to those used by adults. This is called “yoof” culture.
The word “yoof” is a slang (俚语) spelling of “youth”. Some people consider “yoof” to be a negative (消极的) term, since its pronunciation is easier than “youth”. Other people see the term as positive, because it describes how young people are creating their own language, concepts (观念) and identity.
When parents find it difficult to understand their children, the children can say more things without the censorship (审查) of their parents. In this way, young people are starting to find freedom, independence and self-expression.
They are creating a “yoof culture”. It is impossible to come up with a complete list of words used by yoof. By the time the list was completed, it would be out of date. New words come and go like fashions.
By A.J. Dalton

  If we bought only things we needed, there would be enough for everybody. What do we need? What you need depends on how old you are and your way of life. Rearrange the list of things you can buy and put the things you think we most need at the top of the list.
Coat             Designer jeans          Water       CD player
Dental check up   Restaurant meal     Telephone   Jewelry
Food          Shampoo             MP3 player  Beer
Toothpaste        Bar of chocolate        Cushion covers
If we don’t need to buy so much, we don’t need to work so much. We can take part-time jobs or reduce our working day from eight hours to six hours. Some people are leaving very well paid jobs to live a healthier life in the countryside or a more exciting life abroad. Parents can spend more time with their children and the unemployed are given more opportunities to work.
If we start to respect saving the earth more than spending money, we will become ‘conservers’ (保护者). When we are conservers, we try to choose environmentally friendly products that last a long time. We may find growing our own vegetables or making our own clothes more rewarding than buying them.
Next time you go shopping, think about what you really need to buy. Don’t deprive (剥夺) yourself of things you like, but decide what you should buy before you go out, so that you won’t be influenced by advertisements or promotions. If it is more expensive to buy goods that don’t have much packaging and things that are more durable (耐用的), buy less. If you can choose to work less, decide which things you would like to make, do or grow yourself. Even though you have less money, your life will become richer.
by Julie Bray

  It looks like a mobile phone, but the service is much cheaper. It acts like a mobile phone, but only in your own city. Beyond the city walls, it’s useless.
“Little Smart”, also called “xiaolingtong”, has always been compared to mobile phones. But actually, it is more like one of those cordless phones(无绳电话) used around the home. The only difference is that this one reaches much further than from the bathroom to the living room. It can travel across an entire city.
Cheap costs are the main reason for the success of Little Smart. It costs 25 yuan a month for the line and about 0.1 yuan per minute to use. A mobile phone, on the other hand, can cost four or five times as much. What’s more, unlike mobile phones, there’s no fee(费) for incoming calls. So these low charges have attracted many users.
But, Little Smart is not really that smart. Users often complain about its bad voice quality. And there are not as many stations to pick up its signals as there are for mobiles. “I couldn’t receive a phone call if I was on a bus,” said Li Ping, a user in Hangzhou. “It worked fine when I stood still, but there were breaks in signal when I was moving.”
Scientists are trying to make Little Smart more user-friendly. Messaging and Internet access(接入) have been added to the service. And the latest Little Smart handset even has color screen.
小题1:Why is Little Smart popular in China?
A.It looks like a mobile phone.B.The service is much cheaper.
C.There is no fee for incoming calls.D.All of the above.
小题2: How is the charge of Little Smart?
A.About 10 fen per minute to use.
B.It costs four or five times more than a mobile phone.
C.It only costs 25 yuan each month.
D.There’s no fee for calls.
小题3: Why are users not satisfied with Little Smart?
A.They can’t hear each other clearly out of the city.
B.There are so few stations for Little Smart to pick up its signals.
C.When you use it, you must stand up.
D.The charges are low.
小题4: The underlined word “handset” in the last paragraph means “______”.
A.the hand bagB.telephoneC.serviceD.mobile phone
小题5: What can we infer from the passage?
A.It’s wrong to say that Little Smart is smart.
B.Scientist are trying to make Little Smart smaller.
C.Little Smart will be better than today.
D.People will change Little Smart into a mobile phone.

No one knows yet the accurate number of lives which have been lost in this terrible fire. But reports suggest that it is more than one hundred.
A wall of fire fifty feet high and at least one hundred and fifty miles wide is now racing towards the forests and rich farmlands of southern Victoria. Towns less than one hundred miles from Melbourne will be in danger unless the wind changes. People are rushing excitedly into the streets. The police have warned them not to see the fire but many people are doing so.
The cause of the fire is unknown. No rain has fallen in this part of Australia for three months, and the hot, north-west wind from the great central desert is blowing at more than thirty miles an hour.
The firefighters are traveling to the fire by road, rail and air. But it is not easy to get there. Flames and fallen trees have cut off or blocked roads and railway lines. The thick smoke often prevents them from finding the air strips (飞机跑道).
