The passage is probably ________.

Youth, friendship and love are the main themes of this year’s Chinese movies, such as So Young(《致青春》) and American Dreams in China(《中国合伙人》). Tiny Times(《小时代》), one of the most popular movies this summer, also has the same features.
The movie was based on author and director Guo Jingming’s novel of the same name. It tells a story about four girls who come from different backgrounds and of different personalities. Since it was shown on June 27, Tiny Times has made 483 million yuan at the box office. The sequel(续集) of it was shown on Aug 8 and it has also been a big box office hit.
Cao Yuhan, 13, a high school student at Beijing Jianhua Experimental School, is a big fan of the movie. “I’m deeply touched by their friendship,” Cao said. “When Nan Xiwang is in trouble, the other three girls try their best to help her, even running barefoot in the snow. However, not everyone has had good things to say. The people’s Daily said that the film went too far in encouraging youths to become materialistic(物质至上主义的). Film commentator Raymond Zhou wrote on his online blog that “Buying luxury goods seems as a way to express love or friendship, and the word ‘money’ is repeated over and over again. Song Kexin, 14, a high school student at Zhida Middle School in Taiyuan, Shanxi, shows a typical example of a fan’s attitude(态度). And that’s to look for the positive value. “That movie is a little far from our daily life. My friends and I are not having parties every day,” Song said, “But I admire Tang Wanru’s optimistic attitude. She’s always looking at the bright side of life. I should learn from her.”
Which is NOT one of the main themes of this year’s Chinese movies?

According to the article, the movie Tiny Times ________.

What does film commentator Zhou Liming think of the movie?

Song Kexin admires Tang Wanru because of Tang’s ________.

Saving water is an important part of going green. As water becomes less and polluted more, conservation (保护) becomes more and more important. The less water you use, the less wastewater will end up in our rivers and lakes. Wasting water means that more water needs to be treated and cleaned, a process that requires quite a lot of energy.
As it is said above, cutting down on water usage is one of the most important things you can do for your local environment and the planet as a whole. That is why more green households are going blue: cutting down their water footprint by conserving and harvesting (收获) water.
It may seem like a big concept, but going blue starts with small changes that everyone can make. Something as simple as turning off the tap while you brush your teeth can save a lot of water. Wash your fruits and vegetables in a bowl rather than under a tap to save even more. Make sure that the taps are fully turned off every time you step away from the sink or the shower — all those little drips can add up to a lot of water waste.
Another way of reducing your water footprint is reducing your dependence on the main water supply. Rainwater harvesting can meet a lot of your home’s water needs. Many of us already practice rainwater harvesting in a small way. Collecting water from your gutters (檐沟) is a great way to keep your garden green without running the sprinkler (洒水器).
The underlined word “green” means ______ in this passage.

According to the passage, which is NOT the reason that people should save water?

According to the passage, all of these can be used to save water except ______.

Which of the following is the best title of this passage?

From the passage, we can know that_____.

From January1, 2009 Hong Kong banned(禁止）smoking in most public places. The places include restaurant, workplaces, schools or karaoke bars. And from July1, 2009, it banned some other public places       nightclubs, bars or bathhouses. Even smoking in some outdoor places is against the law. For example, beaches, sports ground, museums and most areas of public parks. Hong Kong hopes the ban can prevent people from smoking passively. What’s passive smoking? When people smoke in a restaurant or on a bus, others      breathe the smoke too. They don’t want to smoke but they      . It does harm to people’s health. And it’ll be better if more people in Hong Kong give up smoking        the ban.
If someone breaks the ban, he will have to pay up to HK$5, 000. Now more and more citizen begin to       . Today’s Hong Kong is becoming more and more attractive.

A)阅读下面短文，根据所读内容，完成表格，每空一词。（每空1分）
Are people less happy or happier when they get older? If your answer is “happier”, then you are right, based on a study published five years ago. It found that people generally become happier and experience less worry after age fifty. In fact, it found that by the age of eighty-five, people are happier with their life than they were at eighteen.
The findings came from a Gallup survey of more than three hundred and forty thousand adults in the United States in 2008. At that time, the people were between the ages of eighteen and eighty-five.
Arthur Stone in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress were the highest among adults between the ages of twenty-two and twenty-five. Stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties.
Levels of happiness were the highest among the kids and those in their early seventies.
The survey also found that men and women have similar emotional patterns as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men did.
So why would happiness increase with age? One theory is that, as people get older, they become more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.
Title: Relationship Between Age and          

The elements of the survey	Time: 2008 Place: in the United States Researcher: Arthur Stone and his      Targets: 340,000 adults
The      of the survey	Generally people become happier and feel    worried after age 50. By the age of 85, people are happier with their life than they were at 18. Adults between the ages of 22 and 25 have the             stress. The kids and those in their early      feel the happiest. Men and women have similar emotional patterns as they grow older. However, women feel sadder, more      and worried than men do.
Conclusion	Happiness       with age. That’s because people become more thankful for what they have and control their emotions    as they get older. It also     them less time to think about bad experiences.
