At an outdoor restaurant, a cockroach(蟑螂) flew in and landed on a woman. She started screaming out of fear；with a panic stricken face and trembling voice, she started jumping , with both her hands desperately trying to get rid of the cockroach. Her reaction was spreading, as everyone in her group also got into a panic. The woman finally managed to flick the cockroach away
but it landed on a man in the group who continued the drama. In the relay of throwing, the cockroach next fell upon a waitress who had rushed to their rescue.
The waitress stood firm, calmed herself and observed the behavior of the cockroach on her blouse. When she was confident enough, she grabbed it and threw it out of the restaurant.
Sipping my coffee and watching the amusement, I started wondering: was the cockroach responsible for their funny behavior? If so, then why was the waitress not disturbed? She handled the situation to near perfection, without panic.
It was not the cockroach, but the inability of the customers to handle the disturbance caused by the cockroach that disturbed them. I realized that it’s not the shouting of my children or my boss or my wife that disturbs me, but my inability to handle the disturbances caused by their shouting.
It’s not the traffic jams on the road that disturb me, but my inability to handle the disturbance caused by the traffic jam. More than the problem, it’s my reaction to the problem that creates chaos in my life.
I understood. I should not react in life. I should always respond. The customers reacted, whereas the waitress responded. Reactions are always instinctive(本能的), while responses tend to be well thought out.
24. What happened in the outdoor restaurant?
A. A cockroach was found in a woman’s food and then a man found the same problem.
B. A cockroach appearing in the restaurant caused a state of panic among the customers.
C. A cockroach rushed the waitress into apologizing to the customers.
D. A woman and a man were trying to rescue the waitress from the cockroach.
25. According to the passage, if you ran into a traffic jam, you might as well_______.
A. complain your delay B. feel upset and annoyed
C. relax yourself by listening to music D. expect someone to clear the road right away
26. What’s the meaning of the underlined word?
A. confusion B. success C. poverty D. harmony
27. What does the passage tell us?
A. Speak less, do more! B. Actions speak louder than words!
C. Mind your manners while in a restaurant!
D. Don’t react just from your feelings; respond positively!
C
It was reported last week that developers could take photos from Apple mobile and Google Android devices without the phone owners knowing that the images were being taken. In Apple’s case, developers can also obtain the location information for each photo.
Senator(参议员) Charles Schumer said in a telephone interview that his office had spoken with officials at both Apple and Google on Monday.
“We asked them if they could find a way on their own to prevent Apple from having access to private information,” Mr. Schumer said. “They were friendly and open to the idea that this ought to be changed.”
On Sunday, Mr. Schumer said that he planned to send a letter to the Federal Trade Commission asking the agency to investigate Apple and Google after the privacy concerns came to light. Claudia Bourne Farrell, an F.T.C. spokeswoman, said the agency had received the letter but she could not comment further.
“It worries people to think that one’s personal photos, address book, and who knows what else can be obtained and even posted online without permission,” Mr. Schumer wrote in his letter to the F.T.C. “If the technology exists to open the door to this kind of privacy invasion, then surely technology exists to close it, and that’s exactly what must happen.”
Mr. Schumer said if Apple and Google could not come to an agreement to fix the problem, then he would be forced to take the issue further.
He said other companies had been willing to work with his office to fix issues. “I’m optimistic that we can get this changed without any regulation,” he said. “If it’s not changed, then we’ll turn to the F.T.C., and if that doesn’t work then we’ll consider legislative approach.”
The F.T.C. has warned companies to try to be more vigilant(警醒的) in their efforts to protect consumers when it comes to privacy.
28. The senator’s office spoke with officials at both Apple and Google___________.
A. to urge them not to invade consumers’ privacy
B. to discuss whether it is illegal to have access to private information
C. to stop them from developing the technology of taking photos

29. Which of the following statements is true?
A. Privacy invasion from Apple has existed for a long time.
B. Mr. Schumer takes the privacy concerns caused by Apple and Google seriously.
C. Privacy invasion from Google has existed for a long time.
D. Apple and Google have decided to make a change.
30. Mr. Schumer’s letter to the F.T.C. mainly shows that the technology to open the door to privacy invasion___________.
A. causes privacy invasion to happen frequently.
B. can be used if permitted.
C. causes people to worry about the safety of their personal information.

B. The companies will be closed
C. The companies will be fined

D
It was the American sitcom that influenced a generation. The six stars of Friends went their separate ways after 237 episodes and a decade together as flatmates, sharing their lives, loves and careers in a New York apartment.
“Friends had a huge influence on American TV history”, said Steve Beverly, professor of communication arts. “This group of six reflected what people their age experienced in their daily lives, so viewers could understand them easily.”
We all wanted a life like theirs——the cool New York flat with table football and easy chairs, and the social circle of beautiful, supportive friends. We also wanted to drink endless coffee, which was one example of how the show changed our lives. Even the haircut of Rachel——one of the six——was copied by millions of women.
The show has been credited with influencing how many of us speak. Researchers analysed
every episode to explore whether popular culture influenced how we speak. Before the show, people usually put very or really before an adjective. On Friends, they used so. “This guy is so cool,” they said, and now we all say it.
The show enjoyed a huge increase in ratings after the 11 September terrorist attacks, as sad New Yorkers struggled to make sense of the real horrors that had unfolded around them. In the show, they sought the return of a feel-good factor, according to Robert Thompson, professor of television and popular culture. “Friends is set not in the real New York, but in the fantasy New York where everybody leaves their doors unlocked and people don’t fly planes into buildings,” he said.
Friends is more than just a sitcom; it’s a way of life. Our attitudes to the Friends’ lives is a mixture of envy—— ‘How do they get to sit on sofas all day drinking coffee? ——” and disdain: “Don’t they have anything better to do with their time, like earn a living to pay for that Manhattan apartment?” Anyway, although Friends came to an end long ago, it will last forever.
32. According to Steve Beverly, why did many people like Friends？
A. Because its actors were very attractive.
B. Because it was the first American sitcom.
C. Because it described American dream life.
D. Because viewers could relate to its characters.
33. What’s Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. Researchers’ interest in the show.
B. The show’s influence on language.
C. The relation between the show and culture.
D. The way the show’s characters use adjectives.
34. What do we know about the show after 9/11?
A. It helped people face terrorist attacks. B. It stopped being set in New York.
C. It provided people with comfort. D. It attracted fewer viewers.
35. When you show disdain for something, you_______.
A. have no respect for it B. pay no attention to it
C. are curious about it D. are surprised at it

Americans use the term “college students” to mean students either in colleges or universities. Not only that, Americans almost never say “going off to university” or “when I was in university.” That sounds British. 36
College, university: what’s the difference? 37 Both offer undergraduate degrees in the arts and sciences, for example. And both can help prepare young people to earn a living.
But many colleges do not offer graduate studies. Another difference is that universities are generally bigger. 38
Another place of higher education, especially in technical areas, is an institute, like the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Yet even an institute of technology can offer a wide choice of programs and activities.
Modern universities developed from those of Europe in the Middle Ages. The word “university” came from the Latin universities, describing a group of people organized for a common purpose. 39 In England, colleges were formed to provide students with places to live. Usually each group was studying the same thing. So college came to mean an area of study.
The first American universities divided their studies into a number of areas and called each one a college. This is still true. 40 For example, Harvard College is the undergraduate part of Harvard University.
Programs in higher learning can also be called schools, like a school of engineering or a medical school within a college or university. You know, learning all these terms is an education in itself.
A. A college can also be a part of a university.
B. There are more universities than colleges in the USA.
C. They offer more programs and do more research.
D. “College” came from collegium, a Latin word with a similar meaning.
E. Universities and colleges offer students different opportunities.
F. Instead, they say “going off to college” and “when I was in college.”
G. Colleges and universities have many things in common.

Dear editor,

What I can’t stand is that she often gets angry with me about small things. How can I get along with her?
Yours,
Sunny

Dear Sunny,
It’s very good that you want to be friends with this girl. In my opinion, you’d better first have a heart-to-heart talk with her, because understanding each other is very important for you two. And I
also think it’s better for you to ask her to join you and your classmates in all kinds of activities, such as birthday parties, going out for a walk, discussing some fashionable topics, and so on. Besides, helping each other is also very important for both of you. Just share happiness and sadness with her. And I believe she will understand you in time and it is certain that you two will be good friends in the future. Good luck to you.
Yours,
Editor
