Treetops, the hotel in the trees, is famous in the world. Peop1e know little about Kenya, but they know of Treetops. When King George VI died, Princess Elizabeth was staying on the Treetops, and when she
came down from there, "She succeeded him as the queen of the country".
The hotel is in the middle of the forest, and it shows the pleasure of Africa. When you visit it, you will
be sent into the heart of the forest by hotel buses, and then a guide, with a gun to protect you against big
game, will go with you to the Treetops. Before and after dinner, for the whole night if you wish, you can sit on the corridor(走廊), watching animals come to the water pool. The earliest hotel Treetops was built
round a large tree on the opposite side of the water, but that was destroyed by fire and the new hotel
Treetops, which is built round several trees, is much bigger.
The dining room at Treetops is small, and the waiters cannot walk round to serve guests, so a clever
"railway service" has been invented. Guests take their food as it passes slowly in front of them, along a line in the center of the table.
There are many animals around the Treetops. When you visit them, you can see:
---Animals and their babies are waiting to greet the guests.
---Animals, enjoying the Treetops pool in the daylight.
---A long bodied, long ring tailed very active cat-like animal is a special one coming out at night. He
hunts and eats anything he can catch and is very destructive. He lives in the trees at Treetops. He comes
for his food every evening. Do not get too near to him, as his teeth and claws(爪)can do you harm. These animals can be trained and become lovely pets.
1. The underlined word "succeeded" in Paragraph 1 probably means "_________".
A. did what she was trying to do
B. gained her purpose
C. replaced someone in an important position
D. completed an easy task
2. According to the text, "railway service" actually refers to __________.
A. the service provided at the railway station
B. the supply of food on the train
C. the service provided along the railway
D. the supply of food along a moving line
3. Which of the following statements about "the cat-like animal" is wrong?
A. It comes for food only at night.
B. It lives in the trees at Treetops.
C. Its teeth and claws can do people harm.
D. It can catch any other animal in the forest.

If you have ever been rock climbing, you will know that it is not a very easy sport. In fact, you probably felt quite defeated when you first tried to do any serious climbing. Indoor and outdoor rock climbing are
both extremely demanding and require practice to get good at. It is one of the most physically and mentally demanding sports.
There are three basic types of rock climbing. Top roping is the most common type and the climber
need to climb with a partner. The second type, which is very similar to top roping, is called lead climbing.
In both of the types, the climber can sit off the wall and rest on the rope. The third type is called
bouldering. Bouldering is a type of free climbing without any ropes. This is the most demanding of all
climbing types. The climber must be able to complete the climbing without taking a rest on the rope.
Believe it or not, climbing is said to be about 75% legs and only 25% arms. To climb efficiently and
successfully, a person needs to have a wonderful technique. One of the major rules of rock climbing is to
always have three points touching the wall, whether it is both feet and one hand, or one foot and both
hands, as it is much easier to have your weight rest on three points than on two. Another important idea to grasp is that your arms in most cases will do the climbing; they only hold you into the wall so that your
legs are actually pushing you upward. Also, the closer you are to the wall, the easier it is to climb.
Rock climbing may sound a bit too extreme for the everyday person, but it is really an amazing
workout. Once you get into the sport, and learn how to position your body and rest your weight, then you can begin to deal with some difficult problems. The great thing about rock climbing is that it is mentally
challenging as well. You are constantly analyzing the way your body moves and how to do certain moves
on the wall. For anyone who wants to get into shape, rock climbing is a fun and effective way to exercise muscles.
1. What does the author think of rock climbing?
A. It is an easy sport.
B. It is challenging.
C. It is quite dangerous.
D. It is extremely difficult.
2. From the text we know that _____________.
A. indoor rock climbing is much easier than outdoor rock climbing
B. while rock climbing, people depend mainly on their arms
C. ordinary people can practise rock climbing
D. during climbing, the climber can always stop for a rest
3. While climbing, it is much easier for a rock climber if he __________.
A. takes a rope
B. has a partner
C. has three points touching the wall
D. uses feet more often
4. __________ will make rock climb easier.
A. Keeping the body closer to the wall
B. Resting more often on the arms
C. Resting more often on the feet
D. Pushing forward without thinking of the problems
5. By rock climbing, one can _______.
A. get more weight and stronger muscles
B. get both physical and mental exercises
C. have a terrible experience that will last long
D. probably feel quite defeated
behind really effective working. Imagine a graph showing the amount a person learns against the number
of hours he works in a day. If he doesn"t do any work, he learns nothing (point 0). If he does an hour"s
work he learns a certain amount (point 1). If he does two hours" work he learns about twice as much
(point 2). If he does more work he"ll learn still more (point 3). However, if he tries to do twenty-three
and a half hours" work in a day, he will be so tired that he"ll hardly remember anything: what he learns
will be very little (point 4). If he did less work he"d learn more (point 5).
Now whatever the exact shape of the graph"s curve(曲线), made by joining these points, it must
have a high point. Point "X" is the very maximum anyone can learn in the day. And this represents the
optimum, the best, amount of work to do. It is the best possible compromise between adequate time
at the books and fatigue(劳累). Fatigue is an absolutely real thing; one can"t escape it or ignore it. If
you try to ignore it and press yourself to work past the optimum(最适度), you will only get on this
downward slope and achieve less than the best - and then become very tired and lose your power of
concentration.
The skill in being a student consists of getting one"s daily study as near the optimum point as
possible. I cannot tell you what the optimum is. It differs with the type of work, it differs from person
to person, and even in the same person it varies from week to week. You must try to find your own.
Every day you study, bear this principle of the optimum in mind. When you feel yourself getting fatigued,
if you find yourself reading the same paragraph over and over again and not taking it in, that"s a pretty
good sign you"ve reached your highest point for the day and should stop. Most ordinary students find
their optimum at five hours a day. Yours may be a little more or a little less - but if you get in five hours"
good work a day, you will be doing well.
Now, what are you doing with yourself when you aren"t working? Before examinations some students
do nothing at all except sit in a chair and worry. Here is another misunderstanding. People often think that
the mind works like the body; it does not. If one wanted to save one"s physical energy in order to cut the
maximum amount of firewood, one would lie flat on a bed and rest when one wasn"t chopping. But the
mind cannot rest. Even in sleep you dream, even if you forget your dreams. The mind is always turning.
It gets its relaxation only by variety. That is what makes the mind rest.
When you"ve finished your optimum number of hours you must stop. You must not then sit around in
the chair thinking about the work - that only tires without any learning. You must get out and do something. It doesn"t matter what - anything so long as you are actively doing something else but work.
B. you"ll achieve better learning results if you work three hours every day
C. the less work you do, the better you will learn
D. your work efficiency will decrease once you exceed a certain point of work
B. a need for relaxation
C. a lot of anxiety
D. loss of concentration
B. changes regularly from week to week
C. can be partly determined by the sort of work he is doing
D. should be determined before he gets too tired
B. not thinking about anything
C. turning continuously
D. getting oneself in a state of fatigue
B. do something else actively
C. do some physical labor
D. stop thinking about your studies
If you are worried about things and are under a lot of stress at work or school, then you are probably
not sleeping well. Worry can keep you awake, tossing and turning in bed until the early hours of the
morning when you eventually fall asleep. When you wake up, you don"t feel refreshed, but tired and worn out and unable to face a new day.
Dr. Henry Winkle wrote an article in a recent newspaper, which indicates that_____________.
Dr. Winkle says, "The more we worry, the less we sleep, the more we are unable to deal with stress. If we can find a way to get a good night"s sleep," he adds, "we can often find the energy to deal with what"s
worrying us."
So, what is a good night"s sleep? Research shows that the amount of sleep which people need in order
to keep healthy varies a lot. Seven hours in about the average amount, though strangely enough, sleeping
longer often gives you a headache instead of making you feel more refreshed.
Dr. Winkle believes that preparing for sleeping is important. People who work late should try to give
themselves a short break and do something restful before going to bed. This could be watching TV or
listening to music. Doing some exercise earlier in the day should help you to feel physically as well as
mentally tired. A bedtime drink can also help, but coffee or tea should be avoided as they contain caffeine and will keep you awake. "When you put the light out," Dr. Winkle says, "concentrate on relaxing your
muscles, working slowly up from your feet, and you"ll be asleep before you know it."

to contact with their grandparents often. The kids all use e-mail, Skype and SMS but my parents won’t. I’ve bought them a laptop, paid for broadband(宽带), given them both mobile phones and a digital
camera, but they won’t use them. My parents say they hate computers and new technology. What can I do with these “technophobes”?
Daniel, Buremburg, Germany
Actually, the original technophobes were the Luddites, a group of cloth workers in 19th century Britain during the Industrial Revolution. The Luddite cloth workers, who traditionally made cloth by hand, were
worried that machines were going to take away their jobs and way of life. These machines could make
cloth much faster and cheaper than humans. In 1811 and 1812 the Luddites destroyed the machines, but
the British government supported the factory owners. Many Luddites were arrested. Charlotte Bronte’s
novel Shirley will tell your parents all about it.
Laura, Valencia, Spain
Laura makes some interesting points, I think. Technophobes has been a common theme in science
fiction. Frankenstein, one of the first science fiction, is a warning of what could happen if humans began to experiment with human life.
Freda, Copenhagen, Denmark
One thing you could try is to find hardware that is designed for older people to use. An example is the mobiles made by the US company, Jitterbug. Instead of icons（图标) and menus the Jitterbug phones ask users simple “yes/no” questions and have larger keypads. The company realized that there are potentially 100 million older users in the US alone.

Health experts have discovered that adding low-calorie vegetable soup to the start of a meal can
actually help to lose weight.
Because you tend to feel full sooner, you eat less of your main course.
The soup regime was tested by researchers at Pennsylvania State University, led by Dr Barbara Rolls.
They found that when participants in the study ate a first course of soup before lunch they reduced their total calorie intake by 20 per cent, compared with those who did not begin the meal with soup.
But those who favour creamy soups should be careful. Researchers stressed the soup must be
low-calorie and based on stock(菜汤), not cream.
All of the soups tested in the study were made from identical ingredients - chicken stock , broccoli
(硬花甘蓝), potato, cauliflower(菜花)and carrots.
They were mixed together to create four different textures and thickness from separate stock and
vegetables through to pureed soup.
Scientists thought that thick soups with chunks of vegetables which required chewing might be more
filling, but to their surprise they found all forms had the same effect.
The findings were presented to the Experimental Biology conference in Washington, DC, and the
research was part-funded by the National Institutes of Health.
1. What"s the reason that adding low-calorie vegetable soup to the start of a meal can actually help to
lose weight?
A. you can take in large quantities of vegetables.
B. you can absorb high calories from the soup.
C. you can take in low calories from the soup.
D. you can feel full soon after having the soup.
2. Which of the following can not be in the low-calorie soup?
A. chicken stock.
B. cauliflower.
C. cream.
D. carrots.
3. What"s the general idea of the seventh paragraph?
A. What is contained in the soup.
B. How the soup is made.
C. Whom the soup is suitable to.
D. where the soup is stored.
4. What is the bes
t title of this passage?A. Vegetable Soup Helps to Lose Weight.
B. A Scientific Research is Carrying out.
C. A Research did at Pennsylvania State University
D. Findings were carried out to the Experimental Biology.
5. The underlined word "favour" is the same in meaning with ______.
