Last week, while visiting my dad with my daughter, we went to a restaurant for dinner. When we were seated, my dad asked the waitress if there were any soldiers eating at the restaurant. Then waitress said there was a soldier having dinner with his friend. My dad told the waitress to tell the soldier and his friend that their dinner was paid for! He also said that he did not want to be known as the benefactor(施主).
Then waitress later commented on my dad’s thoughtful behavior saying that she had never seen anything like this before. At a local college, she had studied opera and so she used this to thank my dad by performing a piece from The Pearl Fisherman. Her voice brought me to tears because it sounded perfect!
After a while, the soldier appeared at our table (I don’t know how he knew my dad paid the bill for him.) and said that he would be sent to the front the next morning and that he could not leave this co untry without saying ―thanks‖ to my dad. My dad replied that it was he who wanted to say ―thanks‖. They shook hands as the soldier left.
Before we left, the waitress came by again. She did a magic show as another way to show her ―thanks‖ to my dad. Her sho w was really great. My dad left her a note with email address asking for her next performance time in addition to a $ 50 tip.

When you have a question about something, where do you go? For many people the answer is simple as they can go online to a search engine like Google or Yahoo. But what about people in rural or underdeveloped areas who may have no way to get on the Internet?
A business and international development professor in California, Rose Shuman, found an answer for them: Question Box. Question Box is a service that provides answers---free of charge---for people who cannot search the Internet directly. The users of Questions Box might be
those who might not be able to read, or simply have no access to the Internet.
Question Box began three years ago in India. People used a metal call box with a push-to-talk button to connect a live operator. Rose Schuman expl ained,‖ You just need to push a big green button on the box which will connect you directly to our operators who are sitting in front of computers, and speak your language. You can ask them any sort of question you want, and they’ll look it up in English or in Hindi, or whatever the main language is, and translate the answer back for you.‖
The service is currently offered in two villages. The latest version of the box uses mobile phone technology, and solar panels in case the electrical power fails. Rose Shuman says the aim was to make the box as easy as possible for users, ―It is very efficient (效率高的). Rather than try to bring a lot of difficulties to them and expect them to spend a lot of time to learn how to use the Internet, the idea was to make a technology that even Grandma could use.‖
In April 2009, Question Box was introduced to Uganda. Forty community workers with mobile phones connected villagers to call center operators in Kampala. The community workers went around telling people about the service. They wore T-shirts that said ―Ask me.‖ But Internet service in Uganda proved slow and undependable. So Question Box teamed up with a local technology company to store information on a local server. That way, the researchers in Kampala could quickly search the database for answers.
60. The best title for the passage is ___________________________________.
A. Question Box --- taking the place of the Internet
B. Needing an answer? --- asking Question Box
C. Question Box --- a great invention in the world
D. Rose Shuman --- a professor helping the poor
61. In Rose Schuman’s opinion, th e greatest advantage of Question Box is that_____________.
A. it is the most advanced in the world
B. it is more convenient to carry.
C. it saves much more energy
D. it is much easier to use
62. The underlined word ―them‖ in the fourth paragra ph refers to______________________.
A. the users
B. the operators
C. the researchers
D. Question Box workers
63. What can we know from the passage?
A. Question Box costs the users much less than the Internet.
B. Question Box operators can look for information in any language.
C. Question Box is more efficient in solving problems in underdeveloped areas.
D. Question Box can work without the help of the Internet in Uganda.
C
It’s enough to give anyone an e arache. Women spend an average of about five years on the phone during their working lives, research has shown.
You won’t be surprised to learn that women spend 18 months longer than men on the phone — who only chat for an average of three years.
Both sexes make and receive almost the same number of calls —277,000 for men and 288,000 for women. But women spend 13,500 more hours in total on their conversations.
More than half of those chats are work-related but people spend on average twice as long on a personal call (10 minutes ) as on a business one.
Despite the explosion in mobile phone ownership, most people still prefer to use landlines, the poll (民意调查) found.
However, when people are tired of talking, the top excuse for getting a caller off the line is to
say ―Someone’s at the door.‖ Other favorites include ―I’m cooking‖ and ―I need to go to the toilet‖.
Eight out of ten phone users admitted not answering their phones on purpose if they did not want to speak to the caller.
One in three people thought calls after 10 pm were unacceptable but a quarter of those polled said they did not mind calls up to midnight.
Two-thirds admitted they had people in their address books who they should ring but never got round to doing so.
Joseph Blass, managing director of telecom company Toucan, said, ―As a nation, we love to chat on the phone but it is quite astonishing when we look at the total number of calls we make in
a lifetime.‖
64. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Women spend about five years talking on the phone during their lifetime.
B. Women make and receive the same number of calls as men do.
C. On average, work-related calls are only half as long as personal calls.
D. Usually a call made by a man is longer than one by a woman.
65. According to the poll, when someone on the phone says ―Sorry, someone’s at the door ‖,
he or she probably means ______________________________ .
A. he/she is going to the toilet
B. he/she wants to stop chatting
C. he/she is too tired to talk any longer
D. he/she must go to open the door for someone
66. From the text, we know that ____________________________ .
A. calls around midnight are acceptable to some people
B. 80% of people always refuse to answer a phone call
C. people never ring the people in their address books
D. Joseph Blass was one of the people who were polled
67. What Joseph Blass says in the last paragraph shows that ___________________________ .
A. it’s no wonder that we all love to chat on the phone
B. people in many countries love to chat on the phone
C. people insist on often phoning their family and friends
D. the amount of time people spend on the phone was unexpected
D
Scientists have argued for long over whether birds show real intelligence. Some scientists believe birds have abilities including communication and different kinds of memory. In some unusual cases, their abilities seem better than those of humans.
Irene Pepperberg, a birds expert, did research about a grey parrot named. Griffin. Ms. Pepperberg says Griffin can arrange objects in order of size. She says the talking bird also can combine words in the right order. For example, he will combine words when asking for a piece of food. The researcher says experts had thought that only humans and other mammals with large brains have the ability to combine objects and words. She believes that bird brains have the ability to understand that complex(复杂的) tasks must be done in the correct order.
Some birds have other memory skills. For example, they collect and store thousands of seeds in autumn, and find them later in winter. Alan Kamil and Alan Bond of the University of Nebraska are studying the memories of birds called jays and nutcrackers. Their experiments show that these birds use natural objects to find the seeds they have stored.
It’s said some birds can learn as many as 2,000 different songs. Songs may have developed as a way for birds to communicate with other birds.
According to Verner Bingman of Bowling Green State University in Ohio, birds must have a special guidance system in their brain. He says that understanding how a bird’s brain operates
may help us better understand how a human brain processes information.
However, some scientists do still believe birds do many things that appear to be acts of thoughtful intelligence. In most cases, they say, their behavior is simply instinctive(本能的)，no reasoning power directing it.
68. What is the main subject discussed in the passage?
A. The intelligence of birds.
B. Irene Pepperberg’s study on birds.
C. The difference between humans and birds.
D. Ways for experts to train birds.
69. What’s the main idea of Paragraphs 2 – 3?
A. Griffin, jays and nutcrackers are clever birds.
B. Objects help birds remember things.
C. Birds are as intelligent as humans.
D. Birds have certain memory skills.
70. It can be inferred from this passage that _______________________________.
A. most scientists believe birds have real intelligence
B. mammals understand the relationship between objects and words
C. maybe trees help jays to find the seeds they have stored
D. birds always communicate with one anther by singing

School life can be stressful with a difficult roommate. If you have found yourself stuck with a troubled living situation, review the following six tips for
some practical steps you can take to help relieve the
roommate stress.
1. Learn about each others’ background and lifestyle.
Take time to learn about each other. By learning about
their background and current lifestyle, you will know their
habits. Set aside some time where you can ask each other
questions about topics including: family; what they miss
about home; their school and career goals; preferred sleep schedule and study schedule. 2. Find common interests.
Just about everyone has at least a couple of shared interests. When you’re quizzing each other about backgrounds and lifestyles, make sure to ask your roommate about their hobbies. Once you’ve found a couple of shared interests, set up regular roommate dates where you can enjoy those interests together. And be sure to spend time outside your dorm room or apartment together. By bonding on neutral territory, you will be able to melt away some of the stress that has built up in your shared living space. 3. Communicate.
If your problems have stemmed from conflicting schedules and sharing living space, draw up a schedule that you both can agree upon. List days and times that you each get to use the television, living room, parking space, etc. Talk to your roommate about the difficulties you are experiencing if their habits are affecting you. When talking about these, remember to have good manners. Don’t blame them with rude words and be sure to set your emotions aside. 4. Respect each other’s belongings .
While it may be tempting (有诱惑力的) to borrow your roommates DVDs, have some of their snacks or wear their clothes for an outing, be sure to be respectful of their belongings. Be sure to get permission before going into their private space or using their personal belongs. 5. Create a cleaning schedule .
For many college students, this is the first time in their life that they are responsible for cleaning their entire living quarters. Depending on their family environment, they may have never had to clean a toilet, do their laundry or sweep the kitchen floor. Keep the following tips in mind if you have a messy roommate. Talk to your roommate about expectations when it comes to the cleanliness of your shared living space. Create a cleaning schedule and hang it in an area where you both can clearly see the scheduled responsibilities. If your roommate has never done some of these chores before, offer to do them together the first couple of times so you can give them tips and show them how to properly use the necessary cleaning supplies.
