Introduction
A lot of crime is against bicycles. About 150,000 bicycles are stolen every year
and most are never found. You can prevent this happening by following a few
careful steps.
Basic Security
Do not leave your bicycle in out-of-the-way places. Always lock your bicycle when you leave. Secure it to lampposts or trees. Take off smaller parts and
take them with you, for example lights and saddles (车座).
Locks
Get a good lock. There are many different types in the shops. Buy one that
has been tested against attack. Ask for a recommendation from a bike shop.
Marking
Security marking your bike can act a deterrent to a thief. It can also help the
police find your bicycle. It should be clearly written and include your postcode and your house or flat number. This will provide a simple way to identify your bicycle.
Registration
There are a number of companies who will security mark your bicycle for you. They will then put your registration number and personal details on their
computer database. Then if your bicycle is found it will be easy to contact you.
Finally
Keep a record of the bicycle yourself: its make, model and registration number. You can even take a photograph of it. This will prove the bicycle belongs to
you.

     The evidence for harmony may not be obvious in some families. But it seems that four out of five young
people now get on with their parents, which is the opposite of the popularly held image (印象) of unhappy
teenagers locked in their room after endless family quarrels.
     An important new study into teenage attitudes surprisingly shows that their family life is more harmonious
than it has ever been in the past. "We were surprised by just how positive today"s young people seen to be
about their families," said one member of the research team. "They"re expected to be rebellious (叛逆的) and
selfish but actually they have other things on their minds; they want a car and material goods, and they worry
about whether school is serving them well. There"s more negotiation (商议) and discussion between parents
and children, and children expect to take part in the family decision-making process. They don"t want to rock
the boat."
     So it seems that this generation of parents is much more likely than parents of 30 years ago to treat their
children as friends. "My parents are happy to discuss things with me and willing to listen to me," says 17-years-
old Daniel Lazall. "I always tell them when I"m going out clubbing. As long as they know what I"m doing,
they"re fine with it." Susan Crome, who is now 21, agrees. "Looking back on the last 10 years, there was a lot
of what you could call negotiation. For example, as long as I"d done all my homework, I could go out on a
Saturday night. But I think my grandparents were a lot stricter with my parents than that."
     Maybe this positive view of family life should not be unexpected. It is possible that the idea of teenagers
rebellion is not rooted in real facts. A researcher comments, "Our surprise that teenagers say they get along
well with their parents comes because of a brief period in out social history when teenagers were regarded
as different beings. But that idea of rebelling and breaking away from their parents really only happened during
that one time in the 1960s when everyone rebelled. The normal situation throughout history has been a smooth
change from helping out with the family business to taking it over."

C. They have to be locked in to avoid troubles

A. go to clubs more often with their children

A. may be a false belief

     The days of the hunter are almost over in India. This is partly because there is practically nothing left to
kill, and partly because some steps have been taken, mainly by banning tiger-shooting, to protect those animals
which still survive.
     Some people say that Man is naturally a hunter. I disagree with this view. Surely out earliest forefathers,
who at first possessed no weapons, spent their time digging for roots, and were no doubt themselves often
hunted by meat-eating animals.
    I believe the main reason why the modern hunter kills is that he thinks people will admire his courage in
overpowering dangerous animals. Of course, there are some who truly believe that the killing is not really the
important thing, and that the chief pleasure lies in the joy of the hunt and the beauties of the wild countryside.
There are also those for whom hunting in fact offers a chance to prove themselves and risk death by design;
these men go out after dangerous animals like tigers, even if they say they only do it to rid the countryside of
a threat. I can respect reasons like these, but they are clearly different from the need to strengthen your high
opinion of yourself.
     The greatest big-game hunters expressed in their writings something of these finer motives (动机). One
of them wrote.
     "You must properly respect what you are after and shoot it cleanly and on the animal"s own territory (领
地).You must fix forever in your mind all the wonders of that particular day. This is better than letting him
grow a few years older to be attacked and wounded by his own son and eventually eaten, half alive, by other
animals. Hunting is not a cruel and senseless killing-not if you respect the thing you kill, not if you kill to
enrich your memories, not if you kill to feed your people."
    I can understand such beliefs, and can compare these hunters with those who hunted lions with spears
(矛) and bravely caught them by the tail. But this is very different from many tiger-shoots I have seen, in
which modern weapons were used. The so-called hunters fired from tall trees or from the backs of trained
elephants. Such methods made tigers seem no more dangerous than rabbits.

1. There is no more hunting in India now partly because _____.

A. it is dangerous to hunt there
B. hunting is already out of date
C. hunters want to protect animals
D. there are few animals left to hunt

2. The author thinks modern hunters kill mainly _____.

A. to make the countryside safe
B. to earn people"s admiration
C. to gain power and influence
D. to improve their health

3. What do we learn about the big-game hunters?

A. They hunt old animals
B. They mistreat animals
C. They hunt for food
D. They hunt for money

4. What is the author"s view on the tiger-shoots he has seen?

A. Modern hunters lack the courage to hunt face-to-face
B. Modern hunters should use more advanced weapons
C. Modern hunters like to hunt rabbits instead of tigers
D. Modern hunters should put their safety first

     Host family accommodation, or living with host families, remains popular among language travel students
for its advantages. These days, host families are trying to offer more in terms of quality, for they still have
something to worry about.
     Host family accommodation is often seen as the number-one choice for its advantages in language study,
cultural communication and cost of living. Staying alongside host families enables students to get enough
practice for the short time of their studying so that their language acquisition is likely to become faster. Living
in host families also has the advantage for students of being able to spend a lot of time communicating with
their "host parents", and get to know the local way of life, people and culture. Another advantage is that host
family accommodation can sometimes be the least expensive. It attracts students for it ensures them a family
type of living at a low cost.
     The advantages, however, have not prevented host families form worrying. On one hand, some host families
are losing their unique selling point. The problem is that the majority of hosts in big cites, now generally single
and young, have less times available for students but the selling point for host family accommodation is
communication practice. One the other hand, students" expectations have risen. They are becoming more
demanding and asking for more than ever from their accommodation, as they come mainly from high socio-
economic groups in their own countries.
     To get out of the difficult situation, host families are now making efforts to improve the quality of service.
They are trying to making living conditions better, including broadband Internet service, private bathroom,
and access to plenty of hot water for long showers. They are also providing students with structured family
activities.
     It is believed that host family accommodation will keep the popularity vote with language travel students.

How should one invest a sum of money in these clays of inflation (通货膨胀)? Left in a bank it will hardly keep its value, however high the interest rate. Only a brave man, or a very rich one, dares to buy and sell on the Stock Market. Today it seems that one of the best ways to protect your savings, and even increase your wealth is to buy beautiful objects from the past. Here I am going to offer some advice on collecting antique clocks, which I personally consider are among the most interesting of antiques. I sometimes wonder what a being from another planet might report back about our way of life. "The planet Earth is ruled by a mysterious creature that sits or stands in a room and makes a strange ticking sound. It has a face with twelve black marks and two hands. Men can do nothing without its permission, and it fastens its young round people"s wrists so that everywhere men go they are still under its control. This creature is the real master of Earth and men are its slaves." Whether or not we are slaves of time today depends on our culture and personality, but it is believed that many years ago kings kept special slaves to tell the time. Certain men were very clever at measuring the time of clay according to the beating of their own hearts. They were made to stand in a fixed place and every hour or so would shout tire time. So it seems that the first clocks were human beings. However, men quickly found more convenient and reliable ways of telling the time. They learned to use the shadows cast by the sun. They marked the hours on candles, used sand in hour-glasses, and invented water-clocks. Indeed, any serious student of antique should spend as much time as possible visiting palaces, stately homes and museums to see some of the finest examples of clocks from the past. Antique clocks could be very expensive, but one of the joys of collecting clocks is that it is still possible to find quite cheap ones for your own home. After all, if you are going to be ruled by time, why not invest in air antique clock and perhaps make a future profit?
1. According to the passage, collecting antique clocks _____.
A. can hardly keep the value of your savings B. will cost much of your savings C. may increase your wealth D. needs your bravery

3. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a way to measure the time?
A. Counting the beating of one"s own heart. B. Making use of candles, sand and water. C. Observing shadows cast by the sun. D. Keeping slaves busy day and night.

A. state-owned houses B. houses in very good condition C. grand houses open to the public D. houses where statesmen meet regularly
5. The purpose of the passage is _____.
A. to introduce the culture of antique clocks B. to offer some advice on collecting antique clocks C. to compare different ways to make a future profit D. to explain convenient and reliable ways of telling time
