I like to walk in the early morning with my dog. On this fantastic Saturday morning I was enjoying the quiet morning and beautiful weather and loving life while my dog Jeff and I made our 16 rounds(巡回).
At one home I passed, I noticed a newspaper that was lying near the edge(边缘) of the street instead of near the doorstep. Thinking I would make someone else’s life a little easier, I decided to 17 the paper and gently throw it towards their door. 18 , my aim was way off and instead of landing on the doorstep the paper flew in the 19 direction and landed on the roof of a truck in the driveway. No one saw it but me and I burst out(爆发) laughing before I realized what I had done made the problem 20 .
I took a look at my watch and found it was near 5 am. It was too 21 to knock on the door and tell the homeowner where their paper was. So, I walked home, got dressed and went to the grocery(杂货) store to make it right.
I returned a little later with a new newspaper and a basket of fresh strawberries and found the homeowner in the front yard with some friends. With a deep breath I stepped 22 and said, “I hope you have a great sense of humor”. 23 , they did. After I explained what happened just now, they all laughed loudly and of course it really made me 24 .
I couldn’t help but smile all day. I’ve heard it said, “Character is what you do when no one is looking”. But, in fact, there are too many people who think the only thing that’s right is to get by, and the only thing that’s 25 is to get caught.

THREE CENTURIES OF HOAXES(骗局;恶作剧)!A THINKING MACHINE
In 1769, long before computers were invented, a man from Hungary(匈牙利)built a wonderful machine that could play chess very well. It made people all over Europe happy and beat nearly everyone it played against .including famous people like French leader Napoleon Bonaparte, and scientist and inventor Yenjamin Franklin. For years, many people believed that it was truly a thinking machine. There were people who said it was a hoax, but could not prove it or explain how it worked. About 85 years later, the secret was finally found. There was a man hiding inside the machine all the time... who was very good at playing chess!
ZOO ESCAPE(逃脱)
On November 9, 1874, New York newspaper, The Herald, ran a terrible story on its front page. It said that all the animals in the Central Park Zoo had escaped and were running around the city. It said the police were working to save people, but 27 people had already been killed, and 200 people hurt. It warned everyone to stay at home to avoid the danger. Many people in New York were terrified, and did as the paper said. If only they had read the final words of the article, which said; "Not one word of it is true. Not a single act described has taken place." It was just a hoax. The story was made up by Thomas Connery, aneditor at The Herald, who wanted to draw attention to the poor condition of cages in the zoo.

The idea of being fashionable is not a modern phenomenon(现象).Rather, it has been around for centuries, but it has only been in the modern age that fashion trends(趋势)really took off. There are many reasons for this happening, and when the reasons are all put together, it is easy to see why high fashion has become a serious industry.
Many centuries ago, cloth-making was a time-consuming(耗时的)process. Once cloth was made by machine, a large amount of cloth could be produced in a short time, this brought the price of clothing down. As the price dropped, it became easier for people to buy more than a few suits of clothes. With these changes, it didn't take long for designers to begin to experiment with styles, and these styles could be sold not only to the wealthy, but to those in the middle class as well.
In effect, this combination(结合)of dropping prices and the spreading out of moderate(适度的) wealth gave birth to the fashion industry we know today. Women especially were interested in trying new styles, and designers were willing to experiment with clothing to find out what would sell. In addition to this, fashion magazines began to highlight trends and spread the message about high fashion. Finally once the fashion industry became settled(稳定的)，there was no turning back.
Clothing today will continue to change, and new fashion trends will be born. Quite simply, fashion is here to stay.
32 When did fashion trends take off the most
A. In ancient times. B. In the modern age.
C. In the last few centuries. D. None of the above.
33. Which statement is true according to this article
A. High fashion is not a serious industry.
B. Cloth was always made cheaply.
C. The price of clothing went up with the help of the machine.
D. Moderate wealth began to spread.
34. What's the main idea of this passage
A. High fashion came about when people needed more suits.
B. Women try new styles only because they have more money.
C. The fashion industry was born because of dropping prices and greater wealth.
D. Designers today experiment much less than they did in the past.
D
Maybe you think that many parents have a lot to learn about what their children are doing online. According to a recent survey by Symantec Company, which makes many kinds of security(安全)software for home and business computers, there's a "huge difference between parents and their kids".
Parents of children under the age of 18 were asked to estimate(估计)how much time their kids spent online each week. The parents said about three hours a week on average(平均).The kids－ages 8 to 17－who took the survey said they were spending an average of seven hours online each week.
"I really think that's because of the time they spend on their mobile phones and computers, when their parents don't even know they're online," says Symantec's Bill Rosenkrantz. "Remember, cellphones, PDAs and video game machines all make it possible to surf the Internet. You don't have to sit in front of a computer screen."
And what are the kids doing on the Web "They're doing things, like downloading music, they're going to social networking sites, they're actually shopping online when parents don't think they're doing those kinds of activities," says Rosenkrantz. "They're also, we think, doing some things with research papers and other kinds of activities with homework maybe where they're getting some information online and they really shouldn't be." Nearly a quarter of the kids (23 percent) night do things their parents would not agree.
So how does a modern parent deal with this type of situation "The first thing we strongly recommend is that parents spend fine with their children online," Rosenkrantz， says. "Sit down with them and understand what they're doing. Secondly, have a dialogue about it. Have a dialogue about what's an acceptable activity, what's an unacceptable activity, and set some ground rules－time online, things you can and can't do. Really have those conversations. That's the most important ." There are a lot of bad people on the Internet. That's why it's so important for parents to know what their kids are doing online.
35. The data(数据)in the second paragraph are used to show .
A. parents don't exactly know kids' online activities
B. time spent online changes with children's ages
C. children always spend too much time online
D. children spend more time online than their parents
36. What can we learn from the passage
A. Some kids surveyed may go against their parents' rules.
B. Most parents know what their kids are doing online.
C. Special home computers are being made by Symantec.
D. Parents are too busy to pay attention to their kids.
37. In Rosenkrantz's opinion, the key to the situation is that parents should .
A. shorten their kids' time spent online
B. know their kids' online activities
C. use security software in computers
D. have a dialogue with their kids
38. What's the purpose of the passage
A. To advertise a piece of useful security software.
B. To call parents' attention to kids' online behaviour.
C. To warn children of the risks online activities.
D. To give reasons for kids' bad Internet habits.

七、阅读填空（本大题共5小题，每小题2分，共10分）
Wonder why the New Year money always disappears so quickly Well, this may be because you don’t plan to spend it carefully. Plan a budget(预算) and you will find you can stop your money from disappearing.
A budget is a plan to control where your money goes. Careful budget can help you save for the things you want, but can’t pay for right now.
Sounds useful Look at the following before you start your budget:
1. Every week there are things we have to pay for, like school lunches and buses. There are also things we would like to spend money on--just for fun! All of these are weekly expenses (开销).
2. Since we can’t have money for everything, we have to make choices. We need to ask if we really need something or just want it. Needs are what you must have in order to live, like food and water. Wants are things you would like to have or do, but that you could live without, such as CDs and cartoons.
3. List what you must spend on needs--and if there is money left over, what you will save for the things you really want. This is called a budget.
4. If you don’t have enough money for what you need and want, you may have to give up one for the other.
Any budget will change. Keep an eye on yours. Maybe you wanted a cartoon book but now you want an MP3 instead. Your needs may change into wants, or your wants may change into needs.
Control your spending
