a young man held prisoner by Hamas for five years,spread.
But the happiness was hardened by the reality of the price Israelis had paid to set him free. The 1,027 Palestinian prisoners to be exchanged for the single Israeli corporal turned out to include men and women
convicted (宣判有罪) of some of the worst terrorist attacks in the country.
"Ambivalent," says Aya Ilouz, of her feelings on the matter. Strolling in downtown Jerusalem with her
husband Liron and their 5-month-old daughter Yael, the couple is so in sync on the question of the day
that they finish each other"s thoughts.
"Yes," says Liron, "we are very happy and excited to see Gilad meet his family. And on the other
hand-"
"We are very concerned," says Aya.
"About what happens next," Liron explains. "When the next terrorist blows himself up, someone will
have to answer."
Just around the corner, on King George Street, Alan Bauer had been walking home with his son on
March 21, 2002, when a Palestinian man named Mohammad Hashaika exploded a suicide vest packed
with metal scraps. Eighty-four people were wounded that day. Of the three killed, one was a woman
pregnant with twins.
Though the bomber of course died, Israeli courts convicted the two women who drove him to the site
of the bombing, easing his way past the Israeli checkpoint by buying flowers to carry in the Mother"s Day
crowd.
"These women, as I speak, are being released," Bauer says.
Specifics have a way of weakening the joy of Shalit"s release. Among the 477 prisoners released on
Tuesday, in the first phase of the exchange, are an organizer of the 2002 Passover bombing that killed 30
people; a woman who developed an online relationship with a lovesick Israeli youth she then had
murdered when he came to meet her; and the man who proudly displayed his bloody hands to the mob
(暴民) gathered outside the Ramallah building where two Israeli soldiers were beaten to death after
making a wrong turn onOct. 12, 2000.
When the list became public, relatives of terrorism victims appealed, without success, to Israel"s
supreme court to prevent the prisoner exchange. The court hearing was interrupted repeatedly by upset
survivors, including Shvuel Schijveschuurder, who lost five of his family members in a 2001 attack at a
Jerusalem Sbarro. To protest the release of the woman who drove the suicide bomber to the pizza
restaurant, Schijveschuurder poured paint on a memorial to Yitzhak Rabin, the Prime Minister slain by an
Israeli extremist for signing the Oslo Accords.
"When we say 1,027 prisoners will be released, it"s abstract, it doesn"t mean anything," says Eliad
Moreh Rosenberg, who was wounded in the 2002 terrorism bombing at the Hebrew University cafeteria. "But for victims of terror, it"s a reality."
Israeli officials calculate that 60% of those released resume terrorism attacks. To help prevent that
resumption this time around, Israel insisted that most of the prisoners liberated be sent either to the Gaza
Strip - which is sealed off from Israel and under the control of Hamas, which says it continues to observe
a cease-fire - or into exile (流放) in Turkey, Qatar or Syria. About 100 arrived in the West Bank, where
the government led by Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas works diligently to suppress
terrorism, cooperating with Israeli intelligence and military.
With the future uncertain, on Tuesday, Jewish Israelis stopped and stared at televisions wherever they
came upon them. On the sidewalk at midmorning outside the 24-hour Hillel Market, 50 people were
gathered under a flat screen to catch the first images of Shalit, looking painfully thin . "It was moving. It
was very exciting," says Anat Rubin, 42. "I just saw photos of him getting out of the car. It gave me
chills." But she says she heard Hamas say that, learning from success, it was keen to kidnap more Israelis
in order to win freedom for the 6,000 Palestinians still in Israeli prisons. "I don"t want to see the photos of
them doing the V for victory," she says. "Like they won. They are really releasing murderers. I"m happy
and sad all together."
B. moved
C. contradicted
D. terrified
B. Because they are concerned about the health of Shalit.
C. Because they are worried more terrorist blows are coming.
D. Because they want to know when and where the prisoners will be set free.
B. Among the released prisoners, Shvuel Schijveschuurder was caught because he poured
paint on a memorial to Yitzhak Rabin.
C. All the Israelis are not for the prisoner exchange.
D. The released prisoners can go wherever they like.
B. How the kidnapped soldier Gilad Shalit managed to return home.
C. The stories of many terrorist attack victims.

| Clothes can make phone calls, play music, dial your pal"s number, keep you warm during cold weather and operate your computer. This is not a fantasy. A British company, called electrotexiles, has created a wide range of clothes-clothes tha have minds of their own ! Scientists, working for the company, have invented a kind of fabric that can be mixed with flexible electronic materials to create intelligent clothing. The results are electronic garments. If you think the weather has to be wired to different devices, think again. These designer clothes are wirefree, soft to touch and washable! Like any electronic device, these hightech clothes have to be powered. Currently, a tiny ninevolt battery serves the purpose. But the researchers hope that in the near future the clothes will generate electricity by using body heat. These clothes are 100% shockproof, they say. The electrotexiles team has also created the world"s first cloth keyboard. These keyboard can be sewn into your trousers or skirt. To use this device, you will have to sit down and tap on your lap! These "laptap" devices are all set to take over laptop computers! Another useful garment is the shirtcummobile phone. This handy invention enables drivers to chat comfortably with others at the wheel! Other popular electronic wears include the denim (牛仔布) jacket with flexible earphones sewn into the hoop and the electronic ski jacket with a builtin heater. The ski jacket is also programmed to send signals to a satellite. This technology is known as global positioning system and can be used to track lost skiers and wandering kids. Having completed the cloth keyboard, scientists have already started to work on a new project-a necktie that can be used as a computer mouse. What is the next? Do you have any idea? |

| We"ve all met with something that slows us down, for example, the bump (颠簸) in the road, the setback. You just have to keep in mind that a setback is only temporary and greater things lie ahead. Therefore, keep moving forward, developing what you have, since you"ve already built a solid foundation on which you can rely. It is easy just to quit, give up and ignore the hard work you have put into something. But we believe in the "two steps forward, one step back" philosophy (哲学). So how can you react when something doesn"t turn out as you"ve expected it to be? First, be objective. Step back and look at the situation. Is your setback really that significant, or will it just require a little extra effort? Then, plan your next move. You can ask for help. Don"t be afraid o r ashamed to do this. Frequently, people are more than willing to give you support and advice. You don"t have to be perfect; after all, nobody else is. Next, bounce back. Reevaluate the goals you have set for yourself at the beginning and retool (改组) them as necessary. Goals should be realistic and specific, but that doesn"t mean they can"t be flexible. Instead of looking at your project as a disaster or a failure, view it with success. Concentrate on how great it will feel after it is finally done, after you have put your all into it. Instead of focusing on a possible unsatisfactory performance one single time, take a moment to sit back and reward yourself for all that you have accomplished. Above all, don"t live with regrets. Success is never easy. It remains up to you whether you will give up, or fight through the tough battles to earn whatever you want. Keep reaching for your goals and you will achieve them. One small setback is nothing if you really want something and are willing to work for it. |
| 1. According to the passage, the philosophy " two steps forward, one step back" means that ___ when meeting with a setback. |
| A. we are supposed to quit and ignore the hard work B. we"d better think it over before making a decision C. we should stop to think before taking further action D. we are expected to look at things in an allround way |
| 2.The underlined word "it" in Paragraph 3 refers to________. |
| A. a performance B. a success C. a goal D. a project |
| 3.When suffering a setback,the most important thing to do is________. |
| A. to keep moving forward to your goals B. to depend on others" support and advice C. to sit back and reward yourself for your success |
| 4. What is the passage mainly about? |
| A. How to avoid the bumps. B. How to deal with the setbacks. C. Different attitudes to the setbacks. D. Different suggestions on your goals. |

| Shoppers who carefully plan their visit to the grocery store can save money on their grocery bills. 1 Shoppers should visit the grocery store on a full stomach by scheduling their trip immediately after a large meal. If that"s not possible, they should find something healthy to eat while preparing a grocery list. 2 Although having a list and sticking to it is the most important factor in saving money, shoppers must prepare lists wisely in order to save. 3 Many special buys are announced through the local newspapers, so buying the "grocery issue" is worth the investment (投资). However, it"s important to remember that many newer, more expensive products first offered through coupons may not yield enough savings for shoppers to give up the product they usually buy. 4 Once at the store, the shopper who wants to save money should follow a few more rules. The shopper should not stay longer than necessary, because bills go up each minute the shopper is in the store. So, setting a time limit and a cost limit can hold down the bill. 5 If the grocery list is a short one, some shoppers choose to use the small handheld basket instead of the roomy grocery cart. |
