I could tell at once that he and my mother had been discussing something. In that half-playful, half-serious way I knew so well, he said, “How would you like to go to Eton?”“You bet,” I cried quickly catching the joke. Everyone knew it was the most expensive, the most famous of schools. You had to be entered at birth, if not before. Besides, even at 12 or 13, I understood my father. He disliked any form of showing off. He always knew his proper station in life, which was in the middle of the middle class, our house was medium-sized; he had avoided joining Royal Liverpool Golf Club and went to a smaller one instead; though once he had got a second-hand Rolls-Royce at a remarkably low price, he felt embarrassed driving it, and quickly changed it for an Austin 1100.This could only be his delightful way of telling me that the whole boarding school idea was to be dropped. Alas! I should also have remembered that he has a liking for being different from everyone else, if it did not conflict with his fear of drawing attention to himself.It seemed that he had happened to be talking to Graham Brown of the London office, a very nice fellow, and Graham had a friend who had just entered his boy at the school, and while he was in that part of the world he thought he might just as well phone them. I remember my eyes stinging(刺痛) and my hands shaking with the puzzlement of my feelings. There was excitement, at the heart of great sadness.“Oh, he doesn't want to go away,” said my mother, “You shouldn't go on like this.” “It’s up to him,” said my father. “He can make up his own mind.”51. The house the writer's family lived in was ________.    A. the best they could afford              B. right for their social position    C. for showing off                      D. rather small52. The writer's father enjoyed being different as long as ________.    A. it drew attention to him      B. it didn't bring him in arguments   C. it was understood as a joke    D. there was no danger of his showing off53. What was the writer's reaction to the idea of going to Eton?    A. He was very unhappy.               B. He didn't believe it.    C. He was delighted.                   D. He had mixed feelings.54. We can know from the passage that ________.    A. Children who can go to Eton are very famous    B. Children can go to Eton if they will    C. It is very difficult for a child to get admitted by Eton    D. Children don't have the right to decide whether they will go to Eton BHi, everybody!Welcome to our newly-opened Richards Cinema Bookstore!Are you Chinese film fans?

As a rabbit runs out from behind a large stone, the eagle runs after the rabbit. Golden eagles can spot prey a mile away. But this eagle is not hunting for herself; she’s claiming it for her master. The bird’s owner, named Baitolda, is a member of a group of Kazakh people who have trained eagles for hundreds of years. For these Kazakhs, who live in Mongolia, a country in Asia, these birds are both hunting companions and honored family members. Eagle hunters, called burkitshi in the Kazakh language, are some of the most respected memebers of their community. And Baitolda is one of the best. “The eagle must depend on the hunter for food,” says Baitolda. “If she learns how to feed herself, she might go wild and not come back.” One of Baitolda’s techniques is to set the bird on a high stone, hold up a rabbit leg and call, “Kaa, Kaa,” to get the eagle to speed toward him. The eagle quickly learns the lesson: returning to her owner means lunch! Baitolda is one of about 150,000 Kazakhs who still live a traditional nomadic (游牧的) lifestyle. When the seasons change, families load up camels, and sometimes trucks, with their belogings and walk through the mountains on horseback to find fresh grass for their sheep. Only in winter do families return to permanent houses. During the journey, Baitolda’s eagle rides on his hand and has a place inside the family’s tent. But the eagle also earns her keep. The foxes and hares she catches provide fur for the family’s winter clothing. When an eagle turns eight, Kazakhs traditionally let the bird go back into wild to forget her training. As a burkitshi named Khopei says, “They have to live free to make more eagles.”59. What can we learn about the burkitshi from the passage? A. They have taught eagles special skills for centuries. B. They are not good at hunting across a rocky plain. C. They depend on the horses for food.  D. They are still living a miserable life.60. The underlined word “prey” in Para. 2 refers to _______. A. a large stone      B. a person who hunts wild animalsC. a rabbit leg       D. an animal caught by another animal61. If Baitolda calls “Kaa, Kaa”, the golden eagle will ________. A. fly back to him to get some food.  B. fly back to him to drop the preyC. fly away to catch a rabbit    D. fly away to find grass62. What is the passage mainly about? A. The Kazakhs’ extremely simple lifestyle. B. Hunting with golden eagles is a tradition among the burkitshi. C. Golden eagles are hoping to be back into the wild. D. Golden eagles provide people with winter clothing. D“We started as a group of friends with the same problem; difficulty in our personal life to manage our time, being always in a hurry.” This thought was recently offered by Bruno to explain the origin of The Art of Living Slowly, an organization that he founded two years ago, with his wife, Ella.Bruno and Ella said they decided to draw more people’s attention to the overlooked idea that “time is wealth.” On February 19th last year, they created a new holiday, the first Global Day of Slow Living. Despite its ambitions name, the event was limited almost entirely to Italy, where the couple arranged a number of events: a reverse bicycle race the last rider was declared the winner; an afternoon of grandfathers reading poetry to children etc.     One Monday in late February, 2008, the couple staged a New York version of the Day ofSlow Living. “It has to be a Monday, the worst day to try to slow down.” Bruno explained. Bruno was wearing a police cap, mirrored sunglasses, and a sandwich board stating, “Caution! Speed – walking camera is in action!” He flagged down passers-by and handed them postcards printed with fourteen “slowmandments.” For example, No. 4: Write your text message on your cell phone with no symbols and get in the habit of starting with “Dear …” No 7: Avoid being so busy that you don’t have time for yourself. Bruno told the passers- by to read them once a day and keep the doctor away. Many said, “I can’t do this. New York is too fast.” Bruno admitted. But many stopped, they read and said. “This one is good for me, because trying to slow down is like trying to stop smoking.”When asked about their plans for the future. Bruno and Ella looked at each other and chanted the name of the city they have chosen for next year’s Global Day of Slow Living, “Tokyo!”63. The Art of Living Slowly was founded to help people         . A．understand the truth of life. B．know the difficulty in managing time C．avoid being in a hurry all the time D．make friends with the same problem64. What did Bruno do in New York? A．He advertised his idea on a sandwich board. B．He stopped passers – by and delivered postcards. C．He served as a policeman to prevent accidents. D．He took photos for the people who walked fast.65. Which statement may be included in the fourteen “slowmandments” in paragraph 3?  A．Wake up five minutes earlier. B．Do two things at the same time.  C．Make a habit of writing letters. D．Don’t work on weekends and relax.66. What can be inferred from the passage? A．The new holiday is usually celebrated on a fixed day. B．Italian grandfathers enjoy reading poetry to children. C．The couple tend to choose busy cities to promote the idea. D．New Yorkers have a negative attitude towards slow living. EConversation begins almost the moment we come into contact with another and continues throughout the day with the aid of cell phones and computers. However, we are so often absorbed in conversation that we lose sight of its true purpose and value.One important aspect of a good conversation is the words used to express thoughts and feelings. We are full of deep thoughts and strong emotions, yet our vocabularies are not enough for this expression, and many make little effort to expand that. Perhaps you see a movie that touches you deeply, yet you have the following conversation: “So, what did you think of the film?” “Oh, my God, it was so sad. I swear, I went through using up a box of tissues. I was in tears. ” This dialogue is hardly an effective way of expressing feelings. It gives no sign of how or why the movie truly affected you. Such commonly - used phrases are certainly not enough to describe a deeply moving experience. However, not only must you try to avoid overused words, you must also be careful in your selection. The purpose of expanding vocabulary is not to use the largest or most impressive words, but to find those best suited.What is lacking in many conversations is the ability to talk to another rather than just talking with that person. A thoughtful person will find that even in the most ordinary of conversations, there are a thousand questions waiting to be asked if you have courage and a desire for change, in order to seek out the person behind the mask. Good conversations should not be made up of nonsense, but of a meeting of two sharing the human condition. It should bring a purer understanding of others and offer a release of emotions more than drive away unpleasant thoughts or kill time. If we want, we can reach beyond the superficiality (肤浅) of talking into the vast kingdom of wisdom,67. The author used a movie as an example to show that ______.A. overused words can't fully express feelings of a speakerB. how and why a moving movie can deeply affect a speakerC. only expanding vocabulary can describe moving experiencesD. the largest or most impressive words should be used by speakers68. The underlined “Seek out the person behind the mask” in the last paragraph means _____.A. remove the mask of others                 B. distrust the others' appearance C. feel doubtful about the others               D. get the hidden truth beyond words69. According to the author, a good conversation is ______.A. a way to free the unpleasant or pass time     B. a desire to raise more questions C. an exchange of emotions and experience     D. a route to the kingdom of wisdom70. The best title of the passage could be _____.A. Vocabulary in Conversations                 B. Art of Conversations , C. Ability in Conversations                     D.

In addition，most snacks are unhealthy food，for they contain too much fat and sugar. Eating snacks improperly may lead to fatness and illness. What is worse，some students throw the wrappers everywhere，which pollutes our campus.Dear fellow students，we shouldn’t act like kids any more. We high school students should develop good habits. Remember that three regular meals a day as well as a balanced diet are essential for us. Let’s form good eating habits and say no to snacks!
