years from now, we will have used up most of the earths resources. We will have made our seas so
dirty that we will not be able to eat fish from them. There will be so many people in the world that we
will have to use all the countryside for housing; there will be no farmland left.
Other people have a different idea about the future. In their view, the city of the future will be a
huge pyramid-shaped(金字塔形的) building, which will be floating on the surface of the sea. About
5,000 families will live there, and there will also be schools, shops in it.
In a hundred years"time, people will not need to use oil. They will heat their homes with power from
the sun.
Think of space. Perhaps a station will be set up on the moon; people will be able to visit the moon
as to urists. They may even spend their holidays in space, travelling from planet to planet.
What an interesting picture!
Many people don"t think about the future. "I don"t care. I"ll be dead. "they say. But it is our duty

The American book " Who Moved My Cheese" has been a best- seller all over the world. 1 .
Now its author Spence Johnson has written a book just for teenagers.
The book tells us that when facing changes in our lives, like a new school or new friends, don"t be
afraid. Instead, use these changes to make a better life.
2 A school is changing from having two terms to three terms because there are too many
students.
Several teenagers are talking about this. Most of them are unhappy and worried. But Chris laughs
and tells a story about two mice, two little people and some cheese. 3 Here, cheese means
something important in life, like moving to a new class or getting into college. 4 The mice realize
that they can"t change what has happened and have to find more cheese. 5 The little people, however,
can"t do this. They are afraid of change so they find no cheese.
After Chris finishes the story, the friends understand one thing: to get more cheese, move in a new
direction quickly . His friends understand how this can be used in the changes all teenagers face, such
as doing well at school or having good relationships or just feeling good about yourself.
A.It tells a story which happened between mice and people.
B.It teaches people how to face changes in their lives.
C.But they find the cheese is gone.
D.However, some strange things happened in a school.
E.The book gives an example of a change at school.
F.The four are in a maze looking for the cheese.
G.This means finding different dreams
hold attention and interest of your students; you must be a clear speaker, with a good, strong,
pleasing voice which is fully under your control; you must be able to act what you are teaching,
in order to make its meaning clear.
A good teacher doesn"t sit still before his class; he stands all the time he is teaching; he walks
about, using his arms, hands and fingers to help him in his explanations, and his face to express
his feelings. Listen to him, and you will hear the loudness, the quality and musical note of his voice
always changing according to what he is talking about.
The fact that a good teacher has some of the gifts of a good actor doesn"t mean he will indeed
be able to act well on the stage, for there are very important differences between the teacher"s
work and the actor"s. The actor has to speak words he has learnt by heart; he has to repeat exactly
the same words each time he plays a certain part, even his movements and the ways in which he
uses his voice are usually fixed beforehand. What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt
words seem natural on the stage.
A good teacher works in quite a different way. His audience takes an active part in his play-they
ask and answer questions, they obey orders, and if they don"t understand something, they say so.
The teacher therefore has to meet the needs of his audience. He can"t learn his part by heart, because
their brains couldn"t keep discipline: they couldn"t keep strictly to what another has written.
B. be a good actor on the stage
C. sit all the time while teaching
D. suit the need of different students
B. gifts
C. wishes
D. interests
students _______. .
B. keep silent all the time
C. take an active part in class
D. like body language
A. how to use body language
B. how to repeat his lines
C. how to be more quick - minded
D. how to be attractive
company lately? If you are kept 2 , you"ll be forced to 3 some country or easy-listening type drivel
(废话). Call your doctor"s office, and the same thing 4 . How many times do you want to hear Eine
Kleine Nacht"s 5 in the daytime or "Winter" from Vivadi"s Four Seasons in the spring? 6 , I"ve
always thought that Handel"s music was 7 and Vivadi"s music was dull next to Handel"s.
I don"t know how all this force-fed music got 8 . I suppose it was the background music in
elevators. A few years ago, the governor of Georgia got the 9 that classical music was good for a
10 brain development. He actually got the legislature to appropriate (拨专款) enough money to give
every new mother a 11 music tape to take home with her. And you know 12 was probably on it?
Eine Kleine Nacht"s music and "Winter". I"ll bet that those 13 have done more to make babies 14
classical music than all the music appreciation 15 ever taught.
And how about when you make a business call from you 16 and are forced to hear music while
you have to wait to be 17 ? You can"t put the call on speakerphone, because the 18 would disturb
the people around you, 19 you"re just left there holding the phone. You can"t 20 , because the music is
blasting in your ear. I love music-but enough is enough.

| Cities with high levels of homeownership-in the range of 75%, like Detroit and St. Lous -had on average considerably lower levels of economic activity and much lower wages and incomes. Far too many people in financial problems are trapped in homes they can"t sell, unable to move on to new centers of opportunity. The cities and regions with the lowest levels of homeownership-in the range of 55% to 60% like Los Angeles and New York-had healthier economies and higher incomes. They also had higher levels of happiness and well-being. I was shocked to read these interesting points that Richard Florida made in his recent article. Let me try to understand. The people in Detroit and St. Louis are less happy than the people in New York, and Los Angeles. And, the reason is because of home ownership rates? First, to compare them to New York City (the economic capital of the world), Los Angeles (the entertainment capital of the world) seems unfair. Most people in almost any other city in the world might be less happy! Next, let"s try a different way of determining whether renters are happier than homeowners. Why don"t we ask them? Fannie Mae"s National Housing Survey 2010 reported: 75% of current renters believe owning a home makes more sense. 67% plan to buy a home at some point in the future. When they asked current renters for the major reason to buy a house, these were their answers (they could pick several answers): 78% said it was a good place to raise children. 75% said because they would feel safe. 70% said because you have control your own space. If you believe renters are happier, you would also have to believe the majority enjoy living in a less safe environment, which wouldn"t be a good place to raise children and would be a place where they have less control of their space. | |||
| 1.Which of the following is a fact? | |||
| A. People in Los Angeles earn high incomes because of its low homeownership rate. B. New York"s low homeownership rate increases people"s happiness levels. C. Detroit"s high level of homeownership causes its economic problems. D. St. Louis has a higher level of homeownership than Los Angeles. | |||
| 2. In his article, Richard Florida tried to express that ________. | |||
| A. people in Los Angeles are happier than those in St. Louis B. Renting a house is better than owning a house C. Detroit"s economy is healthier than New York"s economy D. New York and Los Angeles are happiest cities | |||
| 3.The writer believes that New York Cities and Los Angeles________. | |||
| A. pay employee highest wages in America B. benefit from low levels of homeownership C. are leading cities across the globe D. are best American cities to live in | |||
| 4. From Fannie Mae"s survey report, we can know that________. | |||
| A. paying rent makes more sense B. most homeowners plan to sell their houses C. most renters prefer to become homeowners D. parents need to buy a house for their children | |||
| 5.According to the passage, current renters" reasons to buy a house are the follows except _______. | |||
| A. to have a good place to raise children B. to live in a safer environment C. to make money D. to have control of their own space | |||
