When I was nine years old, I used to go to the post office with my mother, sending greeting cards to my aunt in Singapore. To me, these trips were really 36 memories. And receiving mail through a mailbox outside our gate was just as exciting. My small hands could 37 get the mail without using a key! I always couldn t wait to see how much I was 38 . Oh, a letter! From Singapore! I would run back home and show it to my 39 . When there was a letter for me, I wouldn t run I would open it right there. After my family moved back to Singapore, I 40 going to the post office. Years later, my company sent me to Shanghai, and the post office found me again. Two years ago I celebrated my 41 with five friends on top of the mountain in Longsheng, China. At sunrise we 42 up to a beautiful view from the mountain top. Later in the afternoon, as we were going 43 the mountain and returning from the sunrise viewing place, a 44 shop caught our attention. It only sold noodles, coffee and had a China 45 sign. We asked the owner if she could really send mail. She happily said yes. It seemed hard to believe, 46 we were at the highest top of the mountain. I picked one postcard out and asked my friends to write 47 a birthday note. We bought a stamp, wrote some notes and gave the shop owner the postcard. Three weeks later, I arrived home and 48 my mailbox: Hello, postcard! I broke into a big smile. That birthday postcard attracted me again to the post office and all its delights. I had 49 the post office all these years. Today I 50 send postcards to friends. And every time I am at the post office buying stamps, I cannot help but smile how one postcard will make its way across the world and brighten up someones day.

Mark Zuckerber was born on May 14, 1984. As a little kid, he loved creating little fun computer programs. He set up the network in February of 2004. He was then a second-year student at Harvard University. One day, he had the idea of building a website for Harvard students to get to know each other. He set up the Face book website. Harvard students could share photos and their personal information there. Soon, the website became very famous. Zuckerberg decided to leave Harvard to run Face book full time. It was the biggest adventure in his life and later brought him great success. Now, the service is popular around the world. Greetings such as “Have you checked your Face book page today?” became a part of young people s everyday language in the US. People can exchange message and get the latest information about their friends on Face book. Zuckerbergs dream is to connect people through the Internet. “Face book is to make the world more open and connected,” he said. Whats the young mans secret to success?

C Smoking in indoor public places including public working places, public transport vehicles and some other special outdoor working places has been banned( 禁止)in China since January 2011.Let s look at the following advantages of banning smoking. First, banning smoking will not only help in saving smokers from health problems and diseases, but will also be good for passive(被动 )smokers. When the smoker is smoking in a restaurant, the people around him are sure to breathe 精选学习资料 - - - - - - - - - 名师归纳总结 - - - - - - -第 4 页，共 9 页5 in the smoke and suffer from the diseases an active smoker gets. If smoking is banned, spread of these diseases can be controlled. Next, banning smoking will put stress on smokers to give up. Since a smoker is prevented from smoking, he will learn how to live without smoking for long hours. When a smoker doesnt smell or see anybody around him smoking, it might reduce his wish to smoke too. As a result, people have to give up smoking. Smoking in public places influences non-smokers to start smoking, especially adolescents. When teens see people around them smoking, they will follow them easily. Thus the number of teen smokers will increase. Also asthma( 哮喘 )and other problems are often seen in children living around smokers. So if it is banned, these places will become safe for children and teenagers. Looking from the economic point of view, smoking should be banned to increase work productivity(生产率 ).Employees(雇员 )who smoke usually take breaks to smoke while working. So the number of hours they put in their work is smaller. If you see from the environment point of view, smoking should be banned. Smoking causes air pollution. If it is banned, it will help keep the environment from getting worse. ( )58._ doesn t belong to a non-smoking place. A. A field B.A hospital C.A library D.A restaurant ( )59. The second paragraph mainly wants to tell us _. A. banning smoking is good for restaurants B. banning smoking is good for non-smokers C. banning smoking is good for spread of diseases D. banning smoking is good for active smokers and passive smokers ( )60.According to the text, the underlined word “adolescents ” means _. A. men B. women C. adults D. teenagers ( )61. Which of the following statements in NOT true? A. If smoking is banned, work productivity will increase. B. If smoking is banned, the number of teen smokers will be larger. C. If smoking is banned, it will make the environment become better. D. If smoking is banned, smokers will learn how to live without smoking. D How could we tell time if there were no watches or clocks anywhere in the world? The sun was probably the world s first “clock ”, except in the far north, where the Eskimos( 爱斯基摩人 ) live. There, it s dark most of the winter, and light most of the summer. But in most of the world, people have used the sun for a clock. Even today, if you dont have a clock, you still know that when the sun shines, it s day, and when it s dark, it s night. The sun can also tell you if it s morning, noon, or afternoon. People who live near the sea can tell time from the tides. In the daytime, for about six hours, the water rises higher and higher on the beach. And then it goes down and down for about six hours. The same thing happens again at night. There are two high tides and two low tides every 24 hours. Seamen on a ship learn how to tell time by looking at the moon and the stars. The whole sky is their clock. In some places in the world the wind comes up at about the same time every day or changes direction or stops blowing. In these places the wind can be the clock. A sand clock is an even better clock. If you had fine dry sand in a glass shaped like the one in the picture, you would have what is called an hourglass. The sand
