When my husband, Bob, died very suddenly in January 1994, I received condolences（慰唁）

Consumers at the Whale Inside Dark Restaurant are led by a waiter with night – vision
Goggles(夜视镜). Inside Dark Restaurant in Beijing, a table of 30 diners was getting quarrelsome.
“I’m touching your head!”said one, like a talkative child. “Who just said that?”another replied.
Such voices floated across the 90-plus-seat restaurant, but no one could see who was talking,
except the waiters, who were equipped with military-grade night-vision goggles.
In the new conceptual dining, restaurants are turning off the lights to focus attention on the
food. The trend seems to have started in Zurich and has since spread all over the world, with
diners sitting in unlit rooms and, lately, being served by waiters in night-vision goggles. The idea
is that by depriving(剥夺) one sense (sight), other senses are heightened.
Darkness has other benefits. ''Chinese people tend to be shy,'' said Chen Long, who owns
Whale Inside Dark, which opened in January. ''People have found it easy to break the ice here.''
The first dark restaurant, which opened in Zurich in 1999, had a simple intention. The goal
''was creating jobs for the blind and handicapped people,'' said the manager. The concept has been
popular in Paris, London, Sydney and elsewhere, offering new variations on sight deprivation, by
which people can experience a lot in a completely dark condition.
In Beijing, the Whale Inside Dark Restaurant is not only about heightening the sense of taste,
but lowering social inhibitions(压抑). It is popular with Internet daters, who met on matchmaking
Web sites that are spreading throughout China. Diner for two is about 225 yuan, or $29 at 7.76
yuan to the dollar.
Eating in the dark is not without its troubles. Instead of family-style dining, food is served on
single-serving plates. When each dish arrives, the server guides your hand to the plate and offers
helpful tips like, ''This course is eaten with a spoon.''
The style seems to be working . ''People feel a lot more comfortable when they can't be seen
by others,'' said Mr. Chen, who is opening a second branch in Shang-hai, ''Couples get to know
each other without seeing other's faces.''
56．What’s the best title of the passage?
A．The fun in the dark restaurant B．Dining in the dark
C．The troubles in the dark restaurant D．The advantages in the dark restaurant
57．The advantages of the dark restaurant include the following except .
A．lowering social inhibitions
B．heightening the sense of taste
C．breaking the ice easily for some shy persons
D．becoming an Internet daters’ centre
58．What does the underlined word “unlit”mean in the second paragraph?
A．dark B．crowded C．quiet D．colorful
59．It is implied but not stated that .
A．only Internet daters like to eat in the dark restaurant
B．people can understand the blind people’s world better after visiting the dark restaurant
C．only the waiters with military – grade night – vision goggles can see what happens there
D．consumers are easy to get angry in the dark restaurant

A special education teacher and former police officer was
honored by President Barack Obama at the White House as
the 2009 National Teacher of the Year for his innovative（创
新的）approach, community focus, and teamwork with other

as a teacher. His devotion to young people, however, reaches beyond the call of duty. Mr. Mullen
extends himself to adviser and guides children who need to know that they are not forgotten and
that they, too, are unique and special,” stated ACEI Executive Director Diane Whitehead.
ACEI is one of 15 national education organizations that select the National Teacher of the

In Canada and the United States, there is a new group of children called “satellite kids”, who
live in one place but whose parents live in another place.
Asians are immigrating to Canada and the United States in larger numbers than ever before.
Most Asians immigrate because they believe that they can give their children a better education in
the West. In Asia, especially in China, Japan, and Korea, it is difficult to go to university. Students
must first pass the strict national examination. However, in Canada and the United States, it is
easy to go to university, and anyone who wants to go can go. As a result, Asian parents decide to
leave their countries so that their children can go to university.
The problem is that when Asians arrive, they discover that finding a job and making money
are more difficult in the West than in the East. Also, they find that they are very lonely, and that
they miss their homes. Because of these two reasons, most Asian parents decide to go back to
work while their children study in the West. Therefore, these children become “satellite kids”, and
most of their parents do not know how sad it is to be a “satellite kid”.
Only until now are Canadians and Americans discovering the “satellite kid” problem. Because
these children do not speak English and because their parents are not there to take care of them.
They are often absent from school. To be a “satellite kid” means growing up in a country where
you know you are different and where you cannot make friends because you do not speak English
well. Also, it means growing up lonely, because your parents are elsewhere. What these “satellite
kids” will probably say to their parents is that it’s better to have parents around than to have a
university education.
64. Some Asian parents send their kids abroad because ________.
A. they hope their children may easily find a job there
B. the kids may not be accepted by universities in their own countries
C. all foreign universities are better than the ones in their own countries
D. the kids want to improve their English and make foreign friends
65. “Satellite kids” refer to Asian kids ________.
A. without patents B. living abroad alone
C. with university education D. speaking no English
66. Some Asian immigrant children become “satellite kids” because their parents ________.
A. want to leave their own country B. want them to go to university
C. return to their country to work D. want them to be independent

LONDON, England （ CNN ） --- The youngest
person to sail solo around the world returned home
Thursday from his 30,000-mile, 282-day ocean
journey.
Mike Perham, 17, sailed into Lizard Point in
Cornwall, the southernmost point in Britain, at 9:47
a.m., his race team said.
“It feels absolutely brilliant,” Mike told CNN by phone hours before crossing the finish line.
“I'm really, really excited to be going across the line at last. It doesn't feel like long since I crossed
it first.”
Mike set off on his round-the-world trip on November 18, 2008. He has been sailing his yacht,
TotallyMoney.com, single-handedly, though a support team has been sailing next to him along the
way.
The teen has now achieved the title of Youngest Sailor to Circumnavigate the Globe Solo,
according to the Guinness World Records.
Mike learned how to sail when he was seven years old from his father, Peter and at age 14, he
sailed across the Atlantic alone.
The teenager's school --- which Mike describes as “highly supportive” of his trip --- has
redesigned his coursework to fit in with his trip. It also gave him some coursework to do during
“quiet moments,” according to Mike's Web site.
There haven't been many of those quiet moments. Repeated autopilot failures forced him to
stop for repairs in Portugal, the Canary Islands, South Africa, and twice in Australia, according to
his Web site.
Bad weather in the Southern Ocean --- between Australia and Antarctica --- forced Mike to
battle 50ft waves and 57 mph winds. He said at one point, a “freak wave” picked up the boat and
turned it on its side.
“My feet were on the ceiling at the time,” he told CNN. “That was a really hairy moment, and
I was certainly thinking, ‘Why am I here?’ But we took the sails off and the day after I thought,
‘This is brilliant!’”
Mike describes his father as his biggest hero, always supportive of what he wanted to achieve.
Peter Perham said he wasn't too worried about his son facing dangerous situations at sea, as long
as he knew what to do and stayed safe.
67. Mike Perham returned to Britain in ________.
A. August B. September C. October D. November
68. Mike Perham is ________ that went on the round-the-world trip in the world up till now.
A. the first B. the bravest C. the luckiest D. the youngest
69. We can infer from the passage that ________.
A. the English school is the same as ours
B. the English school doesn’t care for students
C. the English school has a humane management
D. the English school gives students a lot of course work
70. The passage mainly tells us ________.
A. Mike’s exciting sail trip around the globe
B. how Mike’s father taught him to sail a boat
C. why CNN wanted to report the news to the public
D. the introduction of the Guinness World Records

Standard and labels(标签)of organic food
Organic food is produced by farmers who use renewable(可恢复) resources and pay much
attention to environmental quality.
Organic food differs from normally produced food. Organic meat, eggs, and diary products
come from animals that are given no hormones(激素). Organic fruit and vegetables are produced
without using pesticides and fertilizers. Organic food contains at least 50% more nutrients,
minerals and vitamins than non-organic food. By only buying and eating organic food, it is a
widely agreed fact that you will be eating more healthily.
Before a product can be labeled “organic”, a government-approved certifier(证明机构) will
exam the farm where the food is grown to make sure the farmer is following all the rules
necessary to make his products meet organic food standards. Companies that handle or process
organic food must be examined, too.
When you go to the supermarket, how can you judge it is organic food? You can look at
package labels and watch for signs in the supermarket. Along with the national organic standards,
strict labeling rules were made to help consumers know the exact organic content of the food they
buy.
Single-ingredient foods:
Look for the word “organic” and a seal(图章) on vegetables or fruits. Or they may appear on
the signs. The word “organic” and the seal may also appear on packages of meat, milk, eggs,
cheese and other single-ingredient foods.
Foods with more than one ingredient:
You must watch its organic percentage. Look for the name and address of the certifier of the
packaged products that contain at least 70 percent of organic ingredients.

One possible version：
Recently we held a class meeting to discuss the problem of pedestrians crossing the street while
the traffic light is red. As we can see, some pedestrians don’t obey traffic rules and jay-walk
frequently. This blocks traffic, seriously affects drivers and causes accidents to happen,
endangering the safety of pedestrians and drivers alike. In a word, jaywalking produces negative
effects and does not help to develop good social behavior.
It is really a pity to see all this in our society, and to deal with the situation, the
government has taken some measures. When caught jaywalking, pedestrians are reprimanded so
that they will become aware of the dangers of doing this, or they are fined on the spot. Sometimes
the traffic police will report jaywalkers to their workplace and expose them to the public. However,
it will still take a long time to stop pedestrians from jay-walking.
