you"re not the first to have been there. But make sure not to get lost or waste time going round
in circles.
Do the map reading if you"re being driven somewhere.It"ll be easier if you keep turning the
map so it follows the direction you"re traveling in Keep looking ahead so that you can give the
driver lots of warning before having to make a turn, or you"ll have to move to the back seat.
Get a group of friends together and go exploring.You"ll need a good map, a compass
(指南针), a raincoat,a cell phone to call for help in case you get lost, and a bit of spare cash
for emergencies (应急现金). Tell someone where you"re going before you set out and let
them know what time you expect to be back. The test is in not getting lost, not in seeing how
fast you can go, so always stick together, waiting for slower friends to catch up.
See if your school or a club organizes orienteering activities, in which you need a map and
a compass to find your way. This can be done as a sport, with teams trying to find the way
from A to B (and B to C, etc. ) in the fastest time, or simply as a spare-time activity. Either
way, it"s not only good fun, but a great way to keep fit.
B. look ahead to see where there"s a turn
C. move to the back seat if feeling uncomfortable
D. keep looking at the map to find a place to go to
B. To be saved in case of an accident.
C. To share the fun with him/her in exploration.
D. To tell him/her what"s going on with the group members.

appeared with the label:"store in the refrigerator".
In my fridgeless Fifties childhood, I was fed well and healthily. The milkman came daily, the grocer, the butcher, the baker, and the ice-cream man delivered two or three times a week. The Sunday meat wou
ldlast until Wednesday and surplus (剩余) bread and milk became all kinds of cakes. Nothing was wasted,
and we were never troubled by rotten food. Thirty years on, food deliveries have ceased, fresh vegetables are almost unobtainable in the country.
The invention of the fridge contributed comparatively little to the art of food preservation. A vast way of well-tried techniques already existed -natural cooling, drying, smoking, salting, sugaring, bottling….
What refrigeration did promote was marketing-marketing hardware and electricity, marketing soft
drinks, marketing dead bodies of animals around the globe in search of a good price.
Consequently, most of the world"s fridges are to be found, not in the tropics where they might prove
useful, but in the wealthy countries with mild temperatures where they are climatically almost unnecessary. Every winter, millions of fridges hum(嗡嗡响) away continuously, and at vast expense, busily maintaining
an artificially-coo1ed space inside an artificially-h
eated hous
e -while outside, nature provides the desired temperature free of charge.The fridge"s effect upon the environment has been evident, while its contribution to human happiness has been insignificant. If you don"t believe me, try it yourself, invest in a food cabinet
and turn off your fridge next winter. You may miss the hamburgers, but at least you"ll get rid of that terrible hum.
that .
B. the author was not accustomed to use fridges even in his fifties
C. there was no fridge in the author"s home in the 1950s
D. the fridge was in its early stage of development in the 1950s
B. Food was delivered to people two or three times a week.
C. Food was sold fresh and did not get rotten easily.
D. People had effective ways to preserve their food.
. Who benefited the least from fridges according to the author?B. Consumers.
C. Manufacturers.
D. Traveling salesmen.

B."Climatically almost unnecessary".
C. "Artificially-cooled space".
D."With mild temperatures".
B. Critical.
C. Objective
D. Compromising.
lack of confidence with speaking, and difficulty in understanding native speakers. Another problem
could be that a foreign language taught in schools can sound quite different to what native speakers
actually use.
There are a few English words and expressions that I"d never heard until I came to China. The
most common one in my experience is "How are you? I"m fine, thank you, and you?"
I appreciate that although this greeting is much too formal for everyday use - it"s easy to learn
and helps build confidence. However, it can be a hard habit to break. I"ve seen many parents correct
their kids if they don"t use that exact phrase, as if simply replying "I"m fine" would somehow be rude.
In fact I"m banning my students from saying that in the classroom, insisting a simple "I"m fine, thanks"
is good enough.
"Seldom" is another one that I find interesting. The first time a student told me "I seldom watch
TV", my initial reaction was a stupefied look, followed by "Huh?" I then realized the student used
"seldom" when it"s more common for us to use "rarely."
I was just as confused when I first heard a toilet referred to as a WC (water closet), another
English term I"d never heard of back in Australia. Of course, my students know the other names
for it like bathroom, toilet, washroom etc. so to prefer that name is an interesting choice.
I don"t mind that my students have substituted familiar English words with their own, far from it.
It reminds me how creative they can be with not only their language, but with mine as well. It"s healthy
for English to evolve (进化) and change and I"m happy to add these new words to my vocabulary.
One important lesson I"ve learnt is that textbooks can only help you so much. For further
improvement you"d better practice with native speakers.
B. Native speakers are hard to understand.
C. Chinese-English has something different.
D. Chinese students are more creative.
B. not popular with native speakers
C. sometimes misunderstood
D. considered impolite by native speakers
B. the exact reply has been trained into a habit
C. some parents are not qualified to teach English
D. children don"t always obey their teachers
B. rarely; washroom
C. seldom; WC
D. rarely; WC
B. He"s angry.
C. He feels uncomfortable.
D. He pays no attention.
report: The damage and death toll(死亡人数)could have been much worse.
More than 60 people died
in this earthquake. By comparison, an earthquake of similar intensity
that shook America in 1988 claimed 25, 000 victims.
Injuries and deaths were relatively less in Los Angeles because the quake occurred at 4:31 a.m. on a
holiday, when traffic was light on the city"s highways. In addition, changes made to the construction codes
in Los Angeles during the last 20 years have strengthened the city"s buildings and highways, making them
more resistant to quakes.
Despite the good news, civil engineers aren"t resting on their successes. Pinned to their drawing boards are blueprints (蓝图) for improved quake-resistant buildings. The new designs should offer even greater
security to cities where earthquakes often take place.
In th
e past, making structures quake-resistant meant firm yet flexible materials, such as steel and wood, that bend without breaking. Later, people tried to lift a building off its foundation, and insert rubber and steel between the building and its foundation to reduce the impact of ground vibrations. The most recent
designs give buildings brains as well as concrete and steel supports. Called smart buildings, the structures
respond like living organisms to an earthquake"s vibrations. When the ground shakes and the building tips
forward, the computer would force the building to shift in the opposite direction.
The new smart structures could be very expensive to build. However, they would save many lives and would be less likely to be damaged during earthquakes.
B. it occurred in the residential areas rather than on the highways
C. large numbers of Los Angeles residents had gone for a holiday
D. improvements had been made in the construction of buildings and highways
B. predict the coming of an earthquake with accuracy.
C. help strengthen the foundation of the building.
D. measure the impact of an earthquake"s vibrations.
B. would be worthwhile though costly.
C. would increase the complexity of architectural design.
D. can reduce the ground vibrations caused by earthquakes.
should be focused on .
B. the development of flexible building materials
C. the reduction of the impact of ground vibrations
D. early forecasts of earthquakes
B. encourage civil engineers to make more extensive use of computers
C. outline the history of the development of quake-resistant building materials
D. report new developments in constructing quake-resistant buildings
suggest that real multitaskers - those who can carry out multiple (多个的) tasks equally well,
make up just 2 per cent of the population. More surprisingly, the so-called "supertaskers" actually
have differently structured brains to the other 98 percent.
The brain areas that make supertaskers differ from the rest of the population are the same parts
that are most different between humans and nonhuman primates (灵长类), according to David
Strayer, director of the applied cognition lab at the University of Utah. Scientists are unsure of the
reason why some brains are different. In fact, we could all benefit from doing just one task at once.
In most of us, scientists have located a "bottleneck in the brain" that may explain why we find it
hard to do two things at once.
The problem appears to be caused by a logjam of nerve messages. Faced with two almost
simultaneous (同时的) tasks less than 300 milliseconds apart, the brain"s ability to deal with the
second one slows down. The neural (神经的) response to the second task was postponed until
the response to the first was completed. This means that with e-mails, phone calls, text messages
and online social media all competing for our attention, often against a background of television,
radio or music, our brains can reach information overload.
Scientists made the discovery after scanning the brains of volunteers attempting to multitask on
a computer. The task was deliberately designed to involve the use of different senses and motor
responses.
Dr Rene Marois, one of the neuroscientists who carried out the experiment at Vanderbilt University
in Nashville, Tennessee, said: "Our research offers neurological evidence that the brain cannot
effectively do two things at once." The next step, the neuroscientists say, is finding out "why these
areas cannot process two tasks at once."
B. Everybody.
C. 2 in 100.
D. 98 in 100.
B. supertaskers" and ordinary people"s
C. humans" and nonhuman primates"
D. supertaskers" and nonhuman primates"
B. get ready for a response
C. complete a task
D. finish two tasks
B. use a cell phone against a background of television
C. complete all kinds of tasks within the same day
D. have lots of tasks queuing for responses
B. relating to vehicles with engines
C. relating to nerves that make muscles move (control body movement)
D. the part of a machine that makes it move
graduate, yet with loans (贷款) to pay off. The pair decided to begin a strange, year-long project
to battle their debt. The men, Ross Harper and Ed Moyse, set up the site BuyMyFace.co.uk. last
October as a way to get rid of the $80,000 they shared as student loans. The idea behind the project
was to earn money by selling their faces as advertising space every day for a year. Each day, they
advertise a different business on their site by painting the brand"s logo (商标) or name on their faces
and including a link to the company"s site. After they paint their faces and publish them on the site,
Harper and Moyse go out to highly populated areas such as music festivals and theme parks to
maximize their faces" exposure.
At this time, Harper and Moyse have advertised their faces for over four months without skipping
a day and they"re more than halfway to their goal. Though they first started charging a minimum of
about USD $1.60 per company, the prices have risen as their popularity increased. For advertising
space during the remainder of April, they range between USD $250 and $750.
Terri L. Rittenburg, associate professor of marketing at the University of Wyoming, said she had
heard of people tattooing (纹身) logos on themselves before, but this idea is much better. According
to her, at first the idea would be new and novel and attract attention, but she is unsure how long it
would last.
At least for now, companies that have bought Harper and Moyse"s faces have written positive
comments on the pair"s website. "We had a three percent increase in website traffic (流量) on the
very day and for two days more afterwards," said an alcoholic beverage company.
