Shopping in the States
I love shopping, even if it is just window-shopping. Shopping in the States is always a pleasant experience. There are different types of shops catering to your particular needs. To buy groceries, you can go to the convenience store, the supermarket or the mass merchandiser (such as Wal-Mart). To buy some clothes and big-ticket items, you can go to the mall or factory outlets. I go to two places most often, the supermarket and the mall.
In almost every city or large town, you can find several big chain supermarkets, each with a good number of checkouts. They are one-stop shops since you can buy almost everything there: food, clothes, and medicine — you name it.
Installed with automatic checkout lanes, some of these supermarkets have brought real convenience to the customers. Most packaged goods have barcodes and you just scan them on the scanning machine when you check out. Some items, such as vegetables and fruits, do not have barcodes on them. You need to input their label numbers, which can be found on the list glued to the scanning machine. These automatic checkout lanes help the stores reduce their labour cost and increase their efficiency. I was really thrilled the first time I used the automatic checkout lane.
Shopping in the supermarket gave me other surprises as well. Once, I picked up two bags of salad at a supermarket. When I scanned them, the screen showed a different price from what was advertised. Out of curiosity, I went to the customer service counter and asked why. The lady who helped me went to the shelf to double-check the price. When she came back, she apologized to me, saying that the supermarket had not scanned the price properly. According to their policy, if the customer discovered a scanning problem, he would get the product for free as a reward for him or a penalty for the supermarket. When I left with the two bags of free salad, I couldn"t help marveling at the honesty of the clerk.
A shopping mall in the States is composed of many individual specialty shops and nationwide chain stores. What impresses me most when shopping at the mall is its return policy. No matter what you buy, shoes, pants or big-ticket items such as a TV or a washing machine, if you find some problems with them or simply do not like them any longer, you can return them within 30 days. You won"t be challenged at the customer service counter as long as you have your receipt. Of course there are some people who might take advantage of this return policy, especially when they need something for momentary use. That"s why you can always find a long line of people waiting to return their goods right after Christmas.
The saying that "The customer is God。" rings true to me when I shop in the States. Here I feel that the customer is really taken good care of.

The whale is a mammal—warm-blooded, air-breathing, giving birth to its young alive, sucking them—and, like all mammals, originated on land. There are many signs of this. 1 front flippers, used for steering and stability, are traces of feet.
Immense strength is built into the great body of the big whales, and in fact most of a whale"s body is one gigantic muscle. The blue whale"s pulling 2 has been estimated at 400 horsepower. One specimen was reported to have 3 a whaling vessel for seven hours at the 4 of eight knots.
An enraged whale will attack a ship. A famous 5 of this was the fate of whaler Essex, which was sunk 6 South America early in the last century. More recently, steel ships have had their plates buckled in the same way. Sperm whales(抹香鲸） were known to 7 the old-time whaleboats in their jaws and crush them.
The greatest mystery of whales is their diving ability. The sperm whale 8 the bottom for his favourite food, the octopus. 9 he is known to go as far down as 3,200 feet, where the pressure is 1,400 pounds, to the square inch. Doing 10 he will remain submerged as long as one hour. Two feats are involved in this: storing up enough 11 (all whales are air-breathed) and withstanding the great change in pressure. Just 12 he does it scientists have not determined. It is believed that some of the oxygen is stored in a special system of blood vessels, rather than just held in the lungs. And 13 that a special kind of oil in his head is some sort of compensating mechanism that automatically adjusts the internal pressure of his body. But 14 you can"t bring a live whale into the laboratory for study, no one 15 just how these things work.

(A)
Early one morning, more than a hundred years ago, an American inventor called Elias Howe finally fell asleep. He had been working all night on the design of a sewing machine but he had run into a very difficult problem: It seemed impossible to get the thread to run smoothly around the needle.
Though he was tired, Howe slept badly. He turned and turned. Then he had a dream. He dreamt that he had been caught by terrible savages whose king wanted to kill him and eat him unless he could build a perfect sewing machine. When he tried to do so, Howe ran into the same problem as before. The thread kept getting caught around the needle. The king flew him into the cage and ordered his soldiers to kill Howe. They came up towards him with their spears raised. But suddenly the inventor noticed something. There was a hole in the tip of each spear. The inventor awoke from the dream, realizing that he had just found the answer to the problem. Instead of trying to get the thread to run around the needle, he should make it run through a small hole in the center of the needle. This was the simple idea that finally made Howe design and build the first really practised sewing machine.
Elias Howe was not the only one in finding the answer to his problem in this way. Thomas Edison, the inventor of the electric light, said his best ideas came into him in dreams. So did the great physicist Albert Einstein. Charlotte Bronte also drew in her dreams in writing Jane Eyre.
To know the value of dreams, you have to understand what happens when you are asleep. Even then, a part of your mind is still working. This unconscious(无意识的) , but still active part understands your experiences and goes to work on the problems you have had during the day. It stores all sorts of information that you may have forgotten or never have really noticed. It is only when you fall asleep that this part of the brain can send messages to the part you use when you are awake. However, the unconscious part acts in a special way. It uses strange images which the conscious part may not understand at first. This is why dreams are sometimes called "secret messages to ourselves".( ) 16. According to the passage, Elias Howe was .
A. the first person we know of who solved problems in his sleep
B. much more hard-working than other inventors
C. the first person to design a sewing machine that really worked
D. the only person at the time who knew the value of dreams ( ) 17. The problem Howe was trying to solve was .
A. what kind of thread to use
B. how to design a needle which would not break
C. where to put the needle
D. how to prevent the thread from getting caught around the needle ( ) 18. Thomas Edison is spoken of because .
A. he also tried to invent a sewing machine
B. he got some of his ideas from dreams
C. he was one of Howe"s best friends
D. he also had difficulty in falling asleep
( ) 19. Dreams are sometimes called "secret messages to ourselves" because .
A. strange images are used to communicate ideas
B. images which have no meaning are used
C. we can never understand the real meaning
D. only specially trained people can understand them

"How can I learn English well?" This is a question many students ask. In my opinion, the most effective way is to learn lessons by heart. If you can recite the text and write it out, you"ve learned it fairly well. And if you can tell, in your own words, what the lesson says you"re a very successful learner indeed. Your English will be quite perfect.
This is a difficult task. However, if you try to learn by heart only part of each lesson, you"ll find it not half so hard as you might have thought.
Learning this way, you will make rapid progress. Of course, writing is also necessary. It helps you a lot on our way to success in English.
Equally important is to feel the language. You should be able to laugh at jokes and be shocked at bad news. When using English, try to forget your mother tongue. Instead of helping you, your own language gets in your way. So, never try to see English through translation.( ) 20. In the writer"s opinion, the most effective way in learning English is .
A. to practise speaking, writing and feeling it
B. to forget your own native language
C. to translate everything into his own language
D. to memorize the English words and grammatical rules
( ) 21. "Instead of helping you, your own language gets in your way. " This sentence means that memorizing your own language can .
A. help you to study English well B. stop you mastering English
C. make English easy to learn D. help you notice mistakes
( )22. Equally important is to feel the language, "to feel the language" here means
A. to get a knowledge of English by touching
B. to be able to read and write English
C. to translate English into your own by imagining
D. to be able to experience the rich sensation of the language

Personal computers and the Internet give people new choices about how to spend their time.
Some may use this freedom to share less time with certain friends or family members, but new technology will also let them stay in closer touch with those they care most about. I know this from personal experience.
E-mail makes it easy to work at home, which is where I now spend most weekends and evenings. My working hours aren"t necessarily much shorter than they once were but I spend fewer of them at the office. This lets me share more time with my young daughter than I might have if she"d been born before electronic mail became such a practical tool.
The Internet also makes it easy to share thoughts with a group of friends. Say you do something fun see a great movie perhaps—and there are four or five friends who might want to hear about it. If you call each one, you may tire of telling the story.
With E-mail, you just write one note about your experience, at your convenience, and address it to all the friends you think might be interested. They can read your message when they have time, and read only as much as they want to. They can reply at their convenience, and you can read what they have to say at your convenience.
E-mail is also an inexpensive way to stay in close touch with people who live far away. More than a few parents use E-mail to keep in touch, even daily touch, with their children off at college.
We just have to keep in mind that computers and the Internet offer another way of staying in touch. They don"t take the place of any of the old ways.( ) 23. The purpose of this passage is to .
A. explain how to use the Internet
B. describe the writer"s joy of keeping up with the latest technology
C. tell the merits(价值) and usefulness of the Internet
D. introduce basic knowledge about personal computers and the Internet to the reader
( ) 24. The use of E-mail has made it possible for the writer to .
A. spend less time working B. have more free time with his child
C. work at home on weekends D. work at a speed comfortable to him
( ) 25. According to the writer, E-mail has an obvious advantage over the telephonebecause the former helps one .
A. reach a group of people at one time conveniently
B. keep one"s communication as personal as possible
C. pass on much more information than the later
D. get in touch with one"s friends faster than the later ( ) 26. The best title for this passage is .
A. Computer: New Technological Advances
B. Internet: New Tool to Maintain Good Friendship
C. Computers Have Made Life Easier
D. Internet: a Convenient Tool for Communication
