He appealed to the judge, when interpreting the evidence, to 4 into account the absence of any previous criminal record in his case. His ticket, he said, was stolen 5 before the train crossed the international 6 . At that time and in that territory he was unwilling to mention the incident to the local railway authorities or cancel the 7 of his journey, in 8 of the severe maltreatment to which he might be subjected. He emphasized his readiness to 9 any reasonable punishment the judge imposed. In his summary the judge indicated he was convinced that Smith's 10 was partly justified.

A Day in the Life of a Carer Lily is 70 years old and she takes care of her 91-year-old mother. She told us about caring for her mother. I wake up early every day, it's usually about 6.30 am, and wait until I hear Tilly, my mum, moving about. Then I make her a cup of tea. At about half past seven she gets up and we have breakfast together. We normally just have toast, but on Sundays we always have bacon and eggs. After breakfast she reads the newspaper, then she sits by the window and waves to the neighbours as they walk by. She hardly ever goes out but she is very proud of her personal appearance, so she goes to the hairdresser once a month. She doesn't like being left on her own for very long, so I always arrange for a neighbour to come and sit with her when I go out. Now and again, my friend and neighbour, Joan, comes to spend the day with her, and I can go and have lunch with another friend, May, who lives in town. I have a brother, Syd. He comes to stay two or three times a year. He is very good and keeps in touch, but he lives 300 miles away. Once a year, he collects mum and takes her to stay with him in London for a week. She doesn't really like going because it's a long journey, but I need the rest. Sally, the nurse, comes to see mum regularly. My next-door neighbour, Jack, often calls in. In the evening we usually watch TV and we sometimes play cards. Mum is fantastic for her age. But I can never decide to go anywhere spontaneously. I always have to plan it, so I feel a bit trapped. But what is the alternative? An old people's home? I couldn't do that to my mother. 1). What does this passage mainly deal with? A. How to take care of the old people. B.

Researchers discovered that people who exercise live longer than those who do not, even if they are overweight and smoke. The study found that the least fit of the 6,000 middle-aged men in the study were five times more likely to die within six years of the start of the research than the fittest. This was true whether or not the men had heart problems, smoked or were overweight. Scientists concluded that it was better to be fat and active than skinny and sedentary. Dr Ken Cooper, a fitness expert, said, "You are better off smoking a packet of cigarettes a day and exercising regularly than being a non-smoker and sedentary." Although he adds, "But don't misunderstand me. I am not endorsing smoking. I am trying to tell you how dangerous it is to be sedentary." However, the study appears to fly in the face of research last year which concluded that more than 30,000 people die prematurely every year in Britain from illnesses caused by being overweight. The British Government is putting pressure on manufacturers to reduce high levels of sugar in food and to restrict the hard-sell of junk food to children in order to improve the nation's health. But the new study suggests the Government should encourage more people to exercise. 1). In the second paragraph, the word "endorsing" means _. A. supporting B. disapproving C. arguing against D. giving up 2). What does the word "sedentary" mean in the second paragraph? A. fat B. inactive C. fit D. dangerous 3). It can be inferred from the third paragraph that _. A. the new study contradicts the previous research B. the new study is based on the previous research C. the new study is similar to the previous research D. the new study concludes being overweight is also the cause of death 4). What can we infer about the British Government's attitude in the last paragraph? A. It's indifferent to the research of last year. B. It has approved of the previous research. C. It is not concerned about the nation's health. D. It has approved of the new study. 5). What's the author's attitude according to the passage? A. Indifferent. B. Subjective. C. Objective. D. Critical . 3. The entertainment profession, or "show business", attracts many young people. Unfortunately, only very few can hope to become famous and rich. Talent is not enough, because show business is as competitive as any other business. Without a good manager, a performer can never hope to succeed. Fashion is important in this business, too. The best tailor in this world will never be a success if he makes old-fashioned clothes. In exactly the same way, a performer must change his act in order to follow the taste of the moment. This is true for all performers: actors, dancers and perhaps most of all, for singers. "Pop" stands for "popular", and a pop singer has to work very hard to become popular. He must either give the public what they already want, or he must find a new way of singing that will attract their attention. Even when he has succeeded, and his CDs are sold everywhere, he cannot relax. Then he must work harder than ever to stay popular, because there are always younger singers trying to become famous and to steal some of the popularity. The life of a successful pop singer is not at all easy. He can only relax when he is alone, because everything he does is watched and reported in a special newspaper written for the fans. The fans are the most important people in the world for the singer. They buy his CDs or VCDs. They go to his concerts, and watch his MTV. And it is they who make the singer rich and famous. But they can be very annoying too. Sometimes their enthusiasm gets so wild and mad that they do anything to attract attention and their behavior is as uncontrolled as possible. They shout and cry very loudly during the performance. In order to get a "gift", they steal everything from the singer: his handkerchiefs (手帕), his T shirts, his toothbrush. They sometimes tear off buttons from the singer's clothes, and they even cut off pieces of the unfortunate singer's hair. Many singers have been forced to hide, and some who have not been so lucky as to escape have almost nothing on at the end of their performance with almost everything taken away. A pop singer has to spend a lot of money on clothes, because he must always look smart, or at any rate, different. He must have a luxurious car. And most important he must always keep smiling for the benefit of his public. To keep his image young in his fan's mind, he is not allowed to grow old. 1). What is not mentioned as the important thing to be a success in the entertainment profession <br/><br/>in the passage? A. Being talented. B. Having a good manager. C. Getting the best tailor. D. Following the taste of the moment. 2). A successful pop singer must work even harder because _. A. he can not relax B. he must find new ways of singing C. younger singers are catching up D. he must stay popular to stop young singers 3). For a pop singer, the most important advantage of having fans is that _. A. they buy his CDs or VCDs. They go to his concerts, and watch his MTV B. they watch him and report everything he does C. they shout and cry very loudly during the performance D. they make him rich and famous 4). According to the author, the fans _. A. are usually mad B. can be very annoying C. are thieves D. are very wild people 5). The most important thing that a pop singer must do for the benefit of his public is to _. A. keep smiling B. look smart or at least different C. have an expensive car D. keep his image young 4. We often use gestures to express our feelings, but the problem is that the gestures can be understood in different ways. It is true that a smile means the same thing in any language. So does laughter or crying . Fear is another emotion that is shown in much the same way all over the world. In Chinese and in English literature, a phrase like he went pale and began to tremble' suggests that the man is either very afraid or he has just got a very big shock. However, he opened his eyes wide' is used to suggest anger in Chinese whereas in English it means surprise. In Chinese, surprise can be described in a phrase like they stretched out their tongues!' “Stretching out your tongue” in English is an insulting gesture or expresses strong dislike. Even in the same culture, people differ in their ability to understand and express feelings. Experiments in America have shown that women are usually better than men at recognizing fear, anger, love and happiness on people's faces. Other studies show that older people usually find it easier to
