阅读理解     More perhaps than any other European nation, the Swiss have got used to looking after foreign
travelers.
     As early as the 18th century, wealthy French, Germans and Italians were treating the country as an
amusement center while, in the 19th century, it became the major holiday playground for the British nobles.
Today, it attracts visitors from all over the world.
    The Swiss are clear about the importance of tourism to their economy, which makes up about eight
percent of the Gross Domestic Product, and helps industry greatly. Managers of hotels from all over the
world go to Switzerland to learn how to do the job, and a high standard can be expected from the great
majority of the country"s hotels, most of which are small and pride themselves on personalized service.
Public transport is the best in Europe. Both the Swiss Federal railways and the private railways are fully
electric-powered, and the total network consists of about 5,000 kilometers of track.
    Under the Fly Baggage system passengers can check luggage in at 116 railway stations and have it
automatically transferred to their flight. The national highway system is equally well planned, and the
mountain roads offer views of some of the country"s most breathtaking scenery. Also serving the mountains is an effective system of railways and cable ways, while more than 160 passenger cars cross the lakes and
rivers. Hiking in the mountains is equally popular with Swiss nationals and foreign visitors. For those who
want to view the country from a great height without having to climb the mountain themselves, it is always
possible to take in the view from a balloon. 1. Compared with other European countries, Switzerland _____.A. places more importance on entertainment
B. thinks more about foreign travelers
C. has more convenient public transport

C. most of the hotels in Switzerland offer first class service
D. the hotels in Switzerland are accustomed to learning from the rest of the world4. The Fly Rail Baggage system is a service to transport your luggage between the railway station and
    _____. A. the airport

阅读理解                                     What to do if you don"t feel popular?
    ● Try to take part in activities. Call your friends. Plan to do something. The worst feeling is staying home alone, because it makes you feel even more lonely.
    ● Try to make new friends. Choose friends carefully, not just because you think they"re popular. And remember, making good friends takes time. Choosing a popular person to be friends with is okay, if they are nice.
    ● Be yourself (保持独立). If you want to become friends with someone who"s popular, don"t make yourself into someone you are not just to impress that person.
    ● Be nice. Be friendly. Be outgoing (开朗的). But don"t overdo it! Talk to trusted friends if you are feeling really bad. Or you might want to write it down ill a journal (期刊) or diary.
    ●  Do something special for yourself. You could take pictures of your friends, or collect their school pictures, and take a collage (拼贴画) to hang on your wall. This will remind (提醒) you, when you are feeling unpopular, that you really do have friends.
    ● Think up your own ideas. These suggestions might not work for everyone.
    What to do if you have a problem with your teacher?
    ● Talk to your parents, or another adult who will listen to you and perhaps can help. Talk to your friends. Maybe they have had problems with the same teacher, too.
● Don"t give the teacher a reason to have problems with you. Do your work, complete your task, attend the class seriously and take notes. Maybe you just need to give the teacher a chance (机会).
    ● Try to find out what the problem is.
    ● Talk to the teacher if you feel comfortable doing this. Don"t be nasty (闹别扭的), but express your concerns (关心). Listen to the teacher, as well.

   From: Jakie Mok, Secretary; Sports Development Committee
   Date: May 20, 2010
   A Week ago, "Sports for Life" programme was sent to the parents, requiring them to select a sport
they wanted their child to play. Since then, our staff have received lots of calls from parents asking for
more information about it. Here is a memo (备忘录) for your reference when you answer the phones:
   Sports 1: Basketball
   We expect that this will be the most popular of the four sports. Therefore, students should be advised
to sign up as soon as possible. Students will take a private bus to and from Kwun Tong Sports Park. To
cover the cost of hiring a bus, each student will have to pay $10 each time. There will be four basketball
courts available for our use with one teacher watching over each game.
   Sports 2: Gym
   We will be using St. Peter"s Memorial Park. There are two reasons for choosing this park. First, it is
not very busy and crowded before 6:00 pm. Second, it has a lot of trees with plenty of shade. Students
must bring along two bottles of water to prevent thirst. Three activities, skipping, jogging, outdoor
aerobics (有氧运动), all of which are free of charge, will be arranged. And there will be a teacher on
duty for each of the activities.
   Sports 3: Hiking. (远足)
   Hiking will take place at Kowloon Peak. The activity will start at 2:30 pm and finish 90 minutes later.
Three teachers will accompany the students, and a hiking instructor will accompany each group of 15
hikers. Each instructor will cost $ 75/hr.
   Sports 4: Swimming
   The Kowloon City Aquatic Centre is a 10-minute walk from our school. Four teachers will go to the
pool and conduct the goings-on from the poolside. We will only be able to reserve the pool for one hour
(i.e. 2:45pm to 3:45pm). Only students skillful at swimming can take up this activity. The pool will have
two lifeguards present. Girls must wear a swimming suit. The cost is $10 per visit.

阅读理解     It doesn"t matter when or how much a person sleeps, but everyone needs some rest to stay alive.
That"s what all doctors thought, until they heard about Al Herpin. Al Herpin, it was said, never slept.
Could this be true ? The doctors decided to see this strange man themselves.
     Al Herpin was 90 years old when the doctors came to his home in New Jersey. They thought for
sure that he got some sleep of some kind. So they stayed with him and watched every movement he
made. But they were surprised. Though they watched him hour after hour and day after day, they
never saw Herpin sleeping. In fact, he did not even own a bed. He never needed one.
     The only rest that Herpin sometimes got was sitting in a comfortable chair and reading newspapers.
The doctors were puzzled by this strange continuous sleeplessness. They found only one answer that
