　In a very real sense, people who have read good literature have lived more than people who cannot or will not read. To have read Gulliver?s Travels is to have had the experience of listening to Jonathan Swift, of learning about man?s inhumanity (残酷) to man. To read Huckleberry Finn is to feel what it is like to drift (漂流) down the Mississippi River on a raft (木排). To have read Byron is to have suffered his rebellions with him and to have enjoyed his nose?thumbing at (对的蔑视) society. To have read Native Son is to know how it feels to be frustrated (受挫折) in the particular way in which Blacks in Chicago are frustrated. This is effective communication (交流). It enables us to feel how others felt about life, even if they lived thousands of miles away and centuries age. It is not true that ?We have only one life to live.? If we read, we can live as many more lives and as many kinds of lives as we wish.

　When I lived in Spain, some Spanish friends of mine decided to visit England by car. Before they left, they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation (住所). I suggested that they should stay at ?bed and breakfast? houses, because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family. My friends listened to my advice, but they came back with some funny stories.

　?We didn?t stay at bed and breakfast houses,? they said, ?because we found that most families were away on holiday.?

　I thought this was strange. Finally I understood what had happened. My friends spoke little English, and they thought ?VACANCIES? meant ?holidays?, because the Spanish word for ?holidays? is ?vacaciones?. So they did not go to house where the sign outside said ?VACANCLES?, which in English means there are free rooms. Then my friends went to house where the sign said ?NO VACANCLES?, because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday. But they found that these houses were all full. As a result, they stayed at hotels!

　We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs. In Spanish, the word ?DIVERSION? means fun. In English, it means that workmen are repairing the road, and that you must take a different road. When my friends saw the word ?DIVERSION? on a road sign, they thought they were going to have fun. Instead, the road ended in a large hold.

　English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages. Once in Paris. when someone offered me some more. coffee, I said ?Thank you? in French. I meant that I would like some more, However , to my surprise the coffee pot was taken away! Later I found out that ?Thank you? in French means ?Mo, thank you.?

　1. My Spanish friends wanted advice about ______.

　A. learning English B. finding places to stay in England

　C. driving their car on English roads D. going to England by car

　2. I suggested that they stay at bed and breakfast houses because ______.

　A. they would be able to practise their English

　B. it would be much cheaper than staying in hotels

　C. it would be convenient for them to have dinner

　D. there would be no problem about finding accommodation there

　3. ?NO VACANCIES? in English means ______.

　A. no free rooms B. free rooms C. not away on holiday D. holidays

　4. If you see a road sign that says ?Diversion?, you will ______.

　A. fall into a hole

　B. have a lot of fun and enjoy yourself

　C. find that the road is blocked by crowds of people

　D. have to take a different road

　5. When someone offered me more coffee and I said ?Thank you? in French, I ______.

　A didn?t really want any more coffee B. wanted them to take the coffee pot away

　C. really wanted some more coffee D. wanted to express my politeness

　6. I was surprised when the coffee pot was taken away because I ______.

　A. hadn?t finished drinking my coffee B. was expecting another cup of coffee

　C. meant that I didn?t want any more D. was never misunderstood

　In earliest times, men considered lightning to be one of the great mysteries (神秘的事物) of nature. Some ancient peoples believed that lightning and thunder were the weapons (武器) of the gods.

　In reality, lightning is a flow of electricity formed high above the earth. A single flash of lightning 1.6 kilometres long has enough electricity to light one million light bulbs (灯泡).

　The American scientist and statesman, Benjamin Franklin, was the first to show the connection between electricity and lightning in 1752. In the same year he also built the first lightning rod (避雷针). This device (装置物) protects buildings from being damaged by lightning.

　Modern science has discovered that one stroke (闪击) of lightning has a voltage (电压) of more than 15 million volts (伏特). A flash of lightning between a cloud and the earth may be as long as 13 kilometers, and travel at a speed of 30 million meters per second.

　Scientists judge that there are about 2,000 million flashes of lightning per year. Lightning hits the Empire State Building in New York City 30 to 48 times a year. In the United States alone it kills an average (平均数) of one person every day.

　The safest place to be in case of an electrical storm is in a closed car. Outside, one should go to low ground and not get under tress. Also, one should stay out of water and away from metal fences. Inside a house, people should avoid open doorways and windows and not touch wires or metal things.

　Although English is not as old as Chinese, it is spoken by many people around the world every day. English speakers are always creating(创造) new words, and we are often able to know where most words come from.

　Sometimes , however, no one may really know where a word comes from. Did you ever think about why hamburgers(汉堡包) are called hamburgers, especially when they are not made with ham(火腿)? About a hundred years ago, some men went to America from Europe. They came from a big city in Germany called Hamburg. They did not speak good English, but they ate good food. When some Americans saw them eating round pieces of beef(牛肉), they asked the Germans what it was. The Germans did not understand the question and answered, ?We come from Hamburg.? One of these Americans owned a restaurant, and had an idea. He cooked some round pieces of beef like those which the men from Hamburg ate. Then he put each between two pieces of bread and started selling them. Such bread came to be called ?hamburgers?. Today ?hamburgers? are sold in many countries around the world.

　Whether this story is true or not, it certainly is interesting. Knowing why any word has a certain meaning is interesting. too. This reason, for most English words, can be found in any large English dictionary.

　1. According to the writer, English is .

　A. as old as Chinese B. older than German

　D. The reason why English is spoken around the world

　5. According to the story, the word ?hamburger? comes from .

　A. China because it has a long history

　B. England because Germans don?t speak good English

　In 1933 an unknown American called Clarence Nash went to see the filmmaker Walt Disney. He had an unusual voice and he wanted to work in Disney?s cartoon(动画片) film for children. When Walt Disney heard Nash?s voice, he said ?Stop! That?s our duck!?

　The duck was the now-famous Donald Duck, who first appeared in 1934 in the film The Wise Little Hen. Donald lived in an old houseboat(水上住家) and wore his sailor jacket and hat. Later that year he became a star after an eight-minute Mickey Mouse film. The cinema audience liked him because he was lazy and greedy(贪婪的), and because he lost his temper(发脾气) very quickly . And they loved his voice when he became angry with Mickey?s eight nephews(侄子). Soon Donald was more popular than Mickey Mouse himself, probably because he wasn?t a goody-goody like Mickey.

　In the 1930S,? 40s and ?50s Donald and hid friends Mickey , Goofy and Pluto made hundreds of Disney cartoons. He also made educational films about the place of the USA in the world, and safety in the home. Then in 1966 Donald Duck and his voice disappeared---there were no more new cartoons.

　Once when I was facing a decision that involved high risk, I went to a friend. He looked at me for a moment, and then wrote a sentence containing the best advice I?ve ever had: Be bold and brave ? and mighty (强大的) forces will come to your aid.

　Those words made me see clearly that when I had fallen short in the past, it was seldom because I had tried and failed. It was usually because I had let fear of failure stop me from trying at all. On the other hand, whenever I had plunged into deep water, forced by courage or circumstance, I had always been able to swim until I got my feet on the ground again.

　Boldness means a decision to bite off more than you can eat. And there is nothing mysterious about the mighty forces. They are potential powers we possess: energy, skill, sound judgment, creative ideas ? even physical strength greater than most of us realize.

　Admittedly, those mighty forces are spiritual ones. But they are more important than physical ones. A college classmate of mine, Tim, was an excellent football player, even though he weighed much less than the average player. ?In one game I suddenly found myself confronting a huge player, who had nothing but me between him and our goal line,? said Tim. ?I was so frightened that I closed my eyes and desperately threw myself at that guy like a bullet ? and stopped him cold.?

　Boldness ? a willingness to extend yourself to the extreme?is not one that can be acquired overnight. But it can be taught to children and developed in adults. Confidence builds up. Surely, there will be setbacks (挫折) and disappointments in life; boldness in itself is no guarantee of success. But the person who tries to do something and fails is a lot better off than the person who tries to do nothing and succeeds.

　So, always try to live a little bit beyond your abilities?and you?ll find your abilities are greater than you ever dreamed.

　25. Why was the author sometimes unable to reach his goal in the past?

　A. He faced huge risks. B. He lacked mighty forces.

　C. Fear prevented him from trying. D. Failure blocked his way to success.

　26. What is the implied meaning of the underlined part?

　A. Swallow more than you can digest. B. Act slightly above your abilities.

　C. Develop more mysterious powers. D. Learn to make creative decisions.

　27. What can be learned from Paragraph 5?

　A. Confidence grows more rapidly in adults. B. Trying without success is meaningless.

　C. Repeated failure creates a better life. D. Boldness can be gained little by little.

　C

　The wallet is heading for extinction. As a day-to-day essential, it will die off with the generation who read print newspapers. The kind of shopping-where you hand over notes and count out change in return?now happens only in the most minor of our retail encounters，like buying a bar of chocolate or a pint of milk from a corner shop. At the shops where you spend any real money, that money is increasingly abstracted. And this is more and more true, the higher up the scale you go. At the most cutting-edge retail stores?Victoria Beckham on Dover Street, for instance?you don't go and stand at any kind of cash register when you decide to pay. The staff are equipped with iPads to take your payment while you relax on a sofa.

　Which is nothing more or less than excellent service, if you have the money. But across society, the abstraction(抽象) of the idea of cash makes me uneasy. Maybe I'm just old-fashioned. But earning money isn't quick or easy for most of us. Isn't it a bit incredible that spending it should happen in half a blink(眨眼)of an eye? Doesn't a wallet?that time-honoured Friday-night feeling of pleasing, promising fatness?represent something that matters?

　But I'll leave the economics to the experts. What bothers me about the death of the wallet is the change it represents in our physical environment. Everything about the look and feel of a wallet?the way the fastenings and materials wear and tear and loosen with age, the plastic and paper and gold and silver, and handwritten phone numbers and printed cinema tickets?is the very opposite of what our world is becoming. The opposite of a wallet is a smartphone or an iPad. The rounded edges, cool glass, smooth and unknowable as pebble(鹅卵石). Instead of digging through pieces of paper and peering into corners, we move our fingers left and right. No more counting out coins. Show your wallet, if you still have one. It may not be here much longer.

　28. What is happening to the wallet?

　A. It is disappearing. B. It is being fattened.

　C. It is becoming costly. D. It is changing in style.

　29. What makes the author feel uncomfortable nowadays?

　A. Saving money is becoming a thing of the past.

　B. The pleasing Friday-night feeling is fading.

　C. Earning money is getting more difficult.

　D. Spending money is so fast and easy.

　30. Why does the author choose to write about what's happening to the wallet?

　A. It represents a change in the modern world.

　B. It has something to do with everybody's life.

　C. It marks the end of a time-honoured tradition.

　D. It is the concern of contemporary economists.

　31. What can we infer from the passage about the author?

　A. He is resistant to social changes.

　B. He is against technological progress.

　C. He feels reluctant to part with the traditional wallet.

　D. He feels insecure in the ever-changing modern world.
