lovers, theatergoers, opera buffs (爱好者, 迷；热心人), devotees of royalty, students of history, people who like to walk in the rain.But richest of all, perhaps, is the London for book lovers.
Because the city is the star and the backdrop of so much great literature, it is possible to believe you
know it very well-how it looks, how it feels-without ever leaving your home country, or indeed your
home.But it is better to visit, if only for the joy of seeing the landscape of your imagination come to life.
How breathtaking to happen upon Pudding Lane, where a bakery accident led to the Great Fire of 1666, after reading Pepys" account in his diaries.Or to wander along Baker Street, where Sherlock Holmes
once fictionally solved the unsolvable.Walk across London Bridge and gaze down, toward Southwark
Bridge: this is the stretch of the Thames where Dickens"s sinister characters dredged up corpses in "Our
Mutual Friend."
The city is not so foggy as it was in 1952, when Margery Allingham published "The Tiger in the
Smoke, " or as socially stratified as it when Marianne Dashwood waited in "Sense and Sensibility" for a
suitor who never called；or as greedy as it was in the thrusting 1980s of Martin Amis" "Money." But it is
all of those Londons, an accrual of different descriptions and eras.It is a city made for description-reread
the first passages of "Bleak House, " also on the subject of fog, for a moody introduction-and one that so
respects its authors that it buried a number of the best ones in style, in Westminster Abbey.
There are plenty of organized literarythemed tours around the city, easily found on the Internet.Or you
can wander characteristically on your own, which is more fun.If you take the Tube or the bus, make sure
to carry a book.

team from the sideline and 1 why I am not good enough to be on the floor. 2 endless hours of work
and devotion, pushing myself through drill after drill, the 3 thing I want is to be a cheerleader. The

It is heartbreaking to be a spectator(旁观者) for the game I love,knowing that no one has enough
7 to give me the chance to 8 on the floor. Tears well up, but I hold them back. I shouldn"t be so 9
over something so silly.
Away from the game, it"s easier to put my thoughts together, 10 letting my emotions drive my
reasoning. I consider 11 I am where I am. I have played football my whole life. I have a passion for
the 12 and always have. There is nothing like the excitement of 13 : the swish of the net, the sweat
rolling off my cheeks, even the bruises(青肿) are battle wounds worn 14 after every game.
Even if I don"t play much, I participate in every 15 . I am part of a team of girls who 16 together

Should I move on? Or should I stay with my team and pursue my passion just a little longer?

| Like most big projects, learning to manage your mother well is what you should do. Here are what I believe the best steps towards a better relationship with her. They are not necessarily surprising or revolutionary, but they have worked for many people. Try them. Remember your mother"s age. As children, we often do not think of our mother as having an age. Even when we become conscious of her as an individual, age does not change our view; she is still our mother. Knowing our mother"s age, not just in numbers of years but in terms of her psychological and physical state, often helps us to understand her better. Listen to your mother. I have found that sometimes the things my mother told me long ago are remarkably useful. If your mother knows that you respect her point of view, even if you do not share it, it will help her feel close to you. Remember that your mother has a past. A key step in managing our relationship with our mother is to find out about her early life.In learning about our mother"s past, we know that it can encourage us to think about her whole life. Ask your mother about your childhood history. My grandparents died when I was young. If you are fortunate enough to have living family, think of your life as a jigsaw puzzle and ask as many questions as you can to put the picture together. Understanding your roots and your childhood can help you know more clearly who you are, as part of a family which you share with your mother. Remember that managing your mother is really about managing yourself. Taking any measure to managing our mother is the issue of how we manage ourselves. No matter how difficult we find her, it is important to remember that it is not her behavior itself that is causing us discomfort, but the way we feel about her behavior. We should follow the way of her life. At the heart of managing your mother is being able to accept your flawed self. Only then are you able to accept your mother-with all her failings. 1.What does the underlined phrase "a jigsaw puzzle" mean? A. 拼图玩具 B. 浏览迷宫 C. 填充字谜 D. 游戏人生 2.Which of the following is implied but not stated in the passage? A.You will have a better relationship with your mother if you respect her opinion. B. Knowing your mother"s age is a useful piece of advice. C. The key measure of managing our mother is how we manage ourselves. D. It is unreasonable to expect our mother to change totally from the way she was brought up. 3. The main purpose of writing the text is _______. A. to give information about how you think of your mother B. to improve the relationship with your mother C. to keep a sense of humor about your mother all day long D. to accept your mother-----with all her failings | |||

| Bernice Gallego sat down one day this summer, as she does pretty much every day,and began listing items on eBay. She dug into a box and pulled out a baseball card. She stopped for a moment and admired the picture. "Red Stocking B. B. Club of Cincinnatti," the card read, under the reddish brown color photo of ten men with their socks pulled up to their knees. As a collector and seller, it"s her job to spot old items that might have value today. It"s what Bernice, 72, and her husband, Al Gallego, 80, have been doing since 1974 at their California antique store. This card, she figured, was worth selling on eBay. She took a picture, wrote a description and put it up for auction.She put a $10 price tag on it, deciding against $15 because it would have cost her an extra 20 cents. Later that night she got a few odd inquiries---someone wanting to know whether the card was real, someone wanting her to end the caution and sell him the card immediately. The card is actually 139 years old. Sports card collectors call the find "extremely rare" and estimate the card could fetch five, or perhaps, six figures at caution. Just like that, Bernice is the least likely character ever for a rare-baseball card story. "I didn"t even know baseball existed that far back," Gallego says, "I don"t think that I"ve ever been to a baseball game." The theory is that the card came out of a storage space they bought a few years back. It is not uncommon in their line of work to buy the entire contents of storage units for around $200. When she met with card trader Rick Mirigian, she found out what the card was-an 1869 advertisement with a picture of the first professional baseball team, the Cincinnatti Red Stocking. "When I came to meet her and she took it out of a sandwich bag and she was smoking a cigarette, I almost fainted," Mirigian says. " They"ve uncovered a piece of history that few people will ever be able to imagine. That card is history. It"s like unearthing a Mona Lisa or a Picasso." 1.What can we conclude from paragraph 3? A. Bernice had to pay some fees for her card on eBay. B. Bernice wanted to end the caution that night. C. Bernice decided to sell the card for $15. D. EBay charged her 20 cents for the card. 2. The underlined word "fetch" in paragraph 4 most probably means "_______". A. go and bring B. add up to C. go down to D. be sold for 3. From the passage we may learn that _______. A. Bernice is a baseball fan B. Bernice is the last person to purchase the rare-baseball card C. Bernice unexpectedly became the owner of the rare-baseball card D. Bernice didn"t realize the value of the card until she put it up for auction 4.What would be the best title for the passage? A. A Surprisingly Valuable Discovery B. The History of the Baseball Card C. Bernice Gallego-A lucky collector D. Sports Card Collectors | |||

| Choosing the right job is probably one of the most important decisions we have to make in life, and it is frequently one of the hardest decisions we have to make. 1 There are people who can answer an insignificant(无关紧要) advertisement in the local paper and land the best job in the world; others writes to all sorts of places, and never seem to get a reply at all,and then there are those who, through no active decision of their own, just seem to be in the right place at the right time. 2 He used to spend a lot of his free time down by the sea watching the tall ships, but never thinking that he might one day sail one of them.One day, on his usual wandering, he heard the captain of a ship complaining that he could not sail because one member of his crew was sick. Without stopping to think, the young man offered to take his place. 3 This story also illustrates the importance of seizing an opportunity when it presents itself. If the young man had gone home to ponder(考虑) his decision for a week, he might have missed his chance. It is one thing to be offered an opportunity. 4 Sometimes we hear stories about people who break all rules and still seem to land the well-paid jobs.When you go for a jod interview or fill out an application,you are expected to say nice things about the company to which you are applying. 5 And within a year this person had become general manager of the company.

| When I was a girl of 16, I met a common boy who would make jokes at you and then you would run after him and his guys and beat them up(打闹). After that first meeting, we kept on meeting and beating each other up at the fence. We would meet at the fence all the time and we were always together. I would tell him all my secrets. I found him easy to talk to and I could talk to him about everything. In school we had separate friends. One day I told him that a guy I liked hurt me and broke my heart. He just comforted me and said everything would be okay. He gave me words of encouragement and helped me get over him. I was happy and thought of him as a real friend.

I looked into his eyes and listened to him talk about what his dream was, and how he wanted to get married and settle down. He said how he wanted to be rich and successful.
