Take a Slow Walk
By Zero Wu
As an Indian saying goes, he who walks too fast needs to take a           , waiting for his soul to catch up.
I am the one who             walk too fast. Lost in life, with a fast-paced lifestyle, I hurried on with my journey until some day I began to learn to take a       （3）      walk.
I sometimes doubt myself            what I insist on and give upon is totally different from            of other people and whether I have no sense of fear about it. In my prelife, I must be a             riding a horse galloping (驰骋) freely all over the world.            in present life, I am a woman of iron will             a man. With prelife's blood flowing inside, I can at any time carry my bag to take on my long-time adventure.

As a child, I always             myself buried in books and naively (天真烂漫地) thought, cup of tea and book in hand, I was in a paradise, for I always bore in mind that "           tea can intoxicate (使陶醉) me, why need I drink wine? Now that books can make the room sweet, why are flowers           ?"
I am a person who has just begun to take a slow walk,             my own stories as "fables" of a person who has             the courage to take my free-willed journey       （14）      the massive land; who has been           from any intense feelings along with worries; who has learnt to take a            after getting deeply drunk; who will let go if the "bird" in heart has to fly away; who wishes to live in the afterlife as a tree described by Chen Danyan             thoughts or pains; who long keeps smiles and inner peace, although crowded on the subway train.
I leave behind the speech that I have             for lives around the lips at which overgrows wild grass. I might as well bury it in a small garden, or             my emotion to it, dismissing the sweet of life to            my ever-lastingly meaningful written words.

At the age of ten I could not figure out what this Elvis Presley guy had that the rest of us boys did not have. I mean, he had a head, two arms and two legs, just like the rest of us. About nine o'clock on Saturday morning I decided to ask Eugene Correthers, one of the older boys, what it was that made this Elvis guy so special. He told me that it was Elvis' wavy hair and the way he moved his body.
About half an hour later all the boys in the orphanage (孤儿院) were called to the main dining-room and told we were all going to downtown Jacksonville, Florida to get a new pair of Buster Brown shoes and a hair cut. That is when I got this big idea, which hit me like a ton of bricks. If the Elvis hair cut was the big secret, then that's what I was going to get.
All the way to town I told everybody, including the matron (女管家) from the orphanage who was taking us to town, that I was going to look just like Elvis Presley and that I would learn to move around just like he did and that I would be rich and famous one day, just like him.
When I got my new Buster Brown shoes, I could hardly wait for my new hair cut and now that I had my new Buster Brown shoes I would be very happy to go back to the orphanage and practice being like Elvis.
We finally arrived at the big barber shop, where they cut our hair for free because we were orphans (孤儿). I looked at the barber and said, "I want an Elvis hair cut. Can you make my hair like Elvis?" I asked him, with a big smile on my face. "Let's just see what we can do for you, little man," he said. I was so happy when he started to cut my hair. Just as he started to cut my hair, the matron signed for him to come over to where she was standing. She whispered something into his ear and then he shook his head, like he was telling her "No". Then he told me they were not allowed to give us Elvis hair cuts. Then I saw my hair falling onto the floor.
In the author's eyes, Elvis Presley was __________.

From the passage, we can know that __________.

We can learn from the underlined sentence that the boy was __________.

How would the boy probably feel when he walked out of the barber shop?

It is difficult for doctors to help a person with a damaged brain. Without enough blood, the brain lives for only three to five minutes. More often the doctors can't fix the damage. Sometimes they are afraid to try something to help because it is dangerous to work on the brain. The doctors might make the person worse if they operate on the brain.
Dr. Robert White, a famous professor and doctor, thinks he knows a way to help. He thinks doctors should make the brain very cold. If it is very cold, the brain can live without blood for 30 minutes. This gives the doctor a longer time to do something for the brain.
Dr. White tried his idea on 13 monkeys. First he taught them to do different jobs, then he operated on them. He made the monkeys' blood back to the monkeys' brains. When the brain's temperature was 10℃, Dr. White stopped the blood to the brain. After 30 minutes he turned the blood back on. He warmed the blood again. After their operations the monkeys were like they had been before. They were healthy and busy. Each one could still do the jobs the doctor had taught them.
The biggest difficulty in operating on the damaged brain is that __________.

The brain operation was made possible mainly by __________.

With Dr. White's new idea, the operation on the damaged brain __________.

What is the right order of the steps in the operation?
a. make the blood back to the brain
b. stop the blood to the brain
c. have the blood cooled down
d. operate on the brain

Which of the following is not true?

Yasuda is 95 years old. He and his colleagues, looking for easier ways to search the Web and send e-mail, represent a potential market for Apple (AAPL)'s iPad. The company has sold 3. 27 million iPads since its launch in April, but doesn't break down sales figures by customer age, making it impossible to know with certainty how many old people are buying them. However, evidence suggests it's popular with the old.
The iPad's intuitive interface (直观界面) makes it attractive to old citizens around the world, says Takahiro Miura, a researcher at the University of Tokyo: "The iPad is a good tool for the elderly because it's very forgiving of mistakes." Miura's team uses computers to help train senior citizens to rejoin the workforce. "Unlike the PC, it doesn't require previous (先前的) knowledge," he says.
James Cordwell, a technology analyst at Atlantic-Equities in London, says the iPad's popularity with the elderly is helping Apple reach beyond its traditional base of younger customer. "The world's population, especially in developed markets, is getting older, and it's probably a market where Apple has least entered," Cordwell says. Elderly users are "a key source of growth for them in the future."
The elderly in Japan, who make up an estimated 22 percent of the population, may prove particularly quick to accept the iPad. They spend more than any other group in the country except for those under 30, according to a report by Japan's Cabinet Office. Mo-too Kitamura, 78, a former gas salesman, bought an iPad to help him communicate with his 2-year-old grandson and prevent against dementia (痴呆). "Trying new things like that is a good mental exercise," he says.
Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

What can we infer from Paragraph 1?

Which of the following is NOT the advantage of the iPad over the PC?

What can we learn from the passage?

What could be the best title for the passage?

Kataria is the founder of the worldwide laughter movement. The celebration of World Laughter Day is a positive activity for world peace and is intended to build up a global sense of brotherhood and friendship through laughter. The first "World Laughter Day" gathering took place in Mumbai, India, on 11th January, 1998. 12, 000 members from India and international Laughter Clubs attended it. Now there are over 5, 000 Laughter Clubs worldwide on all 5 continents.
"HAPPY-DEMIC" was the first World Laughter Day gathering outside India. It took place on 9th January, two years after the Mumbai gathering. In Copenhagen, Denmark, more than 10, 000 people gathered at Town Hall Square. The event went into Guinness Book of World Records. "World Laughter Day" is now organized on the first Sunday of May every year. Hundreds of people gather worldwide on that day to laugh together.
Today, many people fear widespread international terrorism. The world has never faced so much unrest before. People are at war within themselves. Laughter is a universal language, which has the ability to unite humanity without religion. Laughter can build a common connection between various religions and create a new world order. The idea may sound over-ambitious (野心太大的), and maybe it is. But maybe it is not. It is our deep belief that laughter and only laughter can unite the world, building up a global sense of brotherhood and friendship.
Studies also say that laughter helps your body do the following: lower blood pressure; lighten depression; reduce stress; work out the heart, especially for those who are unable to perform physical exercise. So in life, when you can laugh, you should laugh loudly and with your entire body—because it's good for you.
The first World Laughter Day gathering outside India took place __________.

The author's attitude towards laughter movement is __________.

The passage is mainly about __________.

Informal conversation is an important part of any business relationship. Before you start a discussion, however, make sure you understand which topics are suitable and which are considered taboos  (禁忌) in a particular culture. Latin Americans enjoy sharing information about their local history, art, and customs. They expect questions about their family and are sure to show pictures of their children. Yon may feel free to ask similar questions of your Latin American friends. The French think of conversation as an art form, and they enjoy the value of lively discussions as well as disagreements. For them, arguments can be interesting—and they can cover pretty much or any topic—as long as they occur in a respectful and intelligent (智慧的) manner.
In the United States, business people like to discuss a wide range of topics, including opinions about work, family, hobbies, and politics. In Japan, China, and Korea, however, people are much more private. They do not share much about their thoughts, feelings, or emotions because they feel that doing so might take away from the harmonious (和谐的) business relationship they're trying to build. Middle Easterners are also private about their personal lives and family matters. It is considered rude, for example, to ask a businessman from Saudi Arabia about his wife or children.
As general rule, it's best not to talk about politics or religion  (宗教) with your business friends. This can get you into trouble, even in the United States, where people hold different views. In addition, discussing one's salary is usually considered unsuitable. Sports is typically a friendly subject in most parts of the world, but be careful not to criticize a national sport. Instead, be friendly and praise your host's team.
Which is typically a friendly topic in most places according to the author?

Why are people from Asia more private in their conversation with others?

What shouldn't you do when talking about sports with colleagues from another country?

Dear Editor,
I'm a middle school student naming Lily. I'm writing to tell you something I don't think it good. Recently I've noticed many of my classmates often went to the Internet bar near our school. The other day I went there, too. I was very surprising to see many students playing games, seeing films and chatting. Some were even talking about love affairs on-line. In my opinion, an Internet bar should be a place which we can find much useful information. As is known to all that the Internet is a window to an outside world rather than a place for games. The Internet is good if we make good use it. Otherwise, it will do us great harm. So the local government should take measure to make sure that the students use Internet bars positively.

Many times in our life we will think about ourselves and our life. But maybe no one can answer exactly what the true meaning of life is. Now let us step into the following story. It may give you something helpful for the question.
A group of graduates, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor. They held a heated conversation and the conversation lasted for a long time.
Then the conversation turned into complaints about stress in work and in life. Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and a lot of cups-porcelain (瓷的), plastic, glass, crystal, some plain-looking, some expensive, some perfect telling them to help themselves to the coffee.
When all the students __________, the professor said: "If you noticed, all the nice-looking, expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress.
OK, now we can say what all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups and were eyeing each other's cups. Now consider this: Life is the coffee and the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain life, and do not change the quality of life. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee. So, don't let the cups drive you run in a wrong direction. Instead we should really learn to enjoy the coffee in life.
Remember it forever! OK?
