A 

Fat and shy, Ben Saunders was the last kid in his class picked for any sports team. “Football, tennis, cricket--- anything with a round ball, I was useless,” he says now with a laugh. But back then he was the one always made fun of in school gym classes in Devonshire, England.

It was a mountain bike he received for his 15th birthday that changed him. At first he went biking alone in a nearby forest. Then he began to ride the bike along with a runner friend. Gradually, Saunders set up his mind on building up his body, increasing his speed and strength. At the age of 18, he ran his first marathon.

The following year he met John Ridgway and was hired as an instructor at Ridgway’s school of adventure in Scotland, where he learnt about Ridgway’s cold-water exploits. Greatly interested, Saunders read all he could about North Pole explorers and adventures, the decided that this would be his future.

In 2001, after becoming a skillful skier, Saunders started his first long-distance expedition towards the North Pole. It took unbelievable energy. He suffered frostbite, ran into a polar bear and pushed his body to the limit, pulling his supply-loaded sled up and over rocky rice.

Saunders has since become the youngest person to ski alone to the North Pole, and he’s skied more of the North Pole by himself than any other British man. His old playmates would not believe the change.

Next October, Saunders, 27, heads south from the coast of Antarctica to the South Pole and back, a 2900-kilometer journey that has never been completed on skis.

Getting ready for work, you pause in front of the mirror, “Turn red,” you say. Your shirt changes from sky blue to deep red.

Handing your children three strawberries each, you add, “The doctor said you need these for space travel.” Thanks to medical advices, vaccination shots are a thing of the past. Ordinary foods contain specific vaccines. With the berries in their mouths, the kids head for the front door. 

    It’s time for you to go to work. Your car checks your fingerprints and unlocks the doors. “My office. Autopilot,” you command. Your car drives itself down the road and moves smoothly into traffic on the highway. You sit back and unroll your e-newspaper. The latest news downloads and fills the viewer. Looking through the pages, you watch the news as video films rather than read it.

Old Computers Make for Unhappy Workers --- Survey

LONDON  (Reuters) ----- Dealing with the dissatisfaction of aging and unreliable office computers leads to workers’ unhappiness and more sick leave, a survey showed on Wednesday.

   A survey carried out by caro4free.net of over 2,700 European office workers from the UK, France and Germany found that workplace dissatisfaction increased greatly with the age of the computer equipment.

   “We do know that job satisfaction is falling in Britain and most advanced nations,” said Stephen White, a researcher from the Work Foundation. “The actual reasons for this are the subject of very heated discussion. It’s certainly one interesting theory that technology may be the cause of this in some way,” White added.

  A quarter of these using outdated computers in Britain said they were “quite” or “ very dissatisfied “ with their everyday job compared to the percent of those who had enjoyed an advantage from up-to-date technology.

 The survey also said that among workers dealing with outdated equipment, there was a 35 percent greater probability they would take six or more days of sick leave per year compared with the average worker. In France, where more workers use old computers, the probability jumped to 55 percent.

  Results also showed that women in the three countries were more likely to be using outdated equipment. In the UK, where more workers have up-to-date computers than in the other countries surveyed, the number of women using old equipment doubled than of men.

 White pointed out that there were tow sides to this problem, saying that continuously having to deal with new technology and equipment can also be a source of worry. “Old and faulty equipment is a major cause of office dissatisfaction. There is no question about it; but you also have to say that the frequent change of equipment is also, or could be, a main cause of dissatisfaction.”

53. The underlined word “this” (paragraph 3) refers to ______.

  A. workplace dissatisfaction             B. computer use in most jobs

  C. the aging off office computers         D. the survey by care4@ free. net

54. How many office workers use old computers in Britain expressed their dissatisfaction?

  A. 16%      B. 25%     C.    35%     D. 55%

55. According to White, why were the women surveyed more likely to use old computers?

  A. Most office workers use old computers.

  B. They do some of their work with computers.

  C. Dealing with new equipment can cause anxiety.

  D. They are easier to b satisfied with new technology.

56. What is the subject of the news story?

 A. Poor working conditions in offices 

 B. Research work of the Work Foundation 

 C. Influence of technology in the workplace.

 D. Different attitudes to old computers.

E

  You are from a middle class family, and live in a normal size home without any showy possessions, but you are surrounded by surprising consumption. This contrast is beginning to bother your 6-year-old son. You are worried that he will want to live as they do, and wonder if you should move.

Sometimes big pocket money, joyful birthday parties, special playrooms and super-big houses tell you that your neighbors probably have more money than you do, and that they’re not as careful as you are with money, but you may find that they cook and dig in the garden with their children just as often as you do, talk with them as freely and read to them every night.

Or you may find that some of these parents stay in on wing of their big house while children play by himself, way off in a wing of his own. In that unfortunate case, he is basically growing up alone without being looked after properly, but this can happen to a child who lives in a normal-size house, too, if he has a TV. A computer and a few video games in his room. Even the most caring parent doesn’t walk in and out of it to see what show her child is watching, what Internet site he has found and if he’s playing that video game.

Too much uncontrolled screen then may lead to a certain loss of innocence (天真), and if it doesn’t, you might decide to move. Don’t judge your neighbor too harshly (严厉地), though. There some things that are right with almost any neighbor and some things that are wrong with the best of them. --- like those super-big houses. The wealth of their owners ---- and the way they throw money around---- may make your son feel sorry for himself, unless you help him understand that you and his dad save some of the money, give some to people who don’t have enough and use the rest to pay for whatever the family needs.

 Children want ----- should be provided with---- explanations when their parents don’t give them what they want.

57. What is the problem with the worried parent in the text?

 A. Her house isn’t as big as her rich neighbor’s.

 B. Her son is left alone without anyone in charge.

 C. She can’t provide her son with a special playroom.

 D. She worries about the effect of her neighbor on her son.

58. In paragraphs 2 and 3, the author seems to agree that parents should _______.

 A. spend more time with their children.

 B. give their children more freedom.

 C. work hard to live a richer life. 

 D. set an example for their children to follow

59. By saying “throw money round” (paragraph 5) the author means that rich people_____.

 A. spend money carelessly          B. save money for their children 

 C. help the poor people willingly    D. leave money all around the house

第三节:

Some of us think that it is better to see the film than to read the book in the original. The reason is that it takes less time to understand the whole story. Besides, the film is usually more interesting, and it is easier to follow.

Some others have just the opposite opinion. They think that they can get more detailed information from the original. Meanwhile, the language in the book is possibly more lively and beautiful.

Personally, I agree with the second view. Actually I have more reasons for it. I think I can stay at home, reading quietly in a situation of my own, and what’s more, I am able to better understand the author’s ideas. In a word, to read the original work is better than to see the film based on it.
