She could do nothing but rest on the mans shoulder 49 and on. On the last day of the third year when the 50 between the God and the butterfly was almost over, the man held a 51 with his girlfriend.

The bored teenagers of Gaochun are impatient with the leisurely pace of hometown life. For them there is no nightlife to speak of, no bright lights, no excitement and they cannot wait to grow up and leave for the urban attractions of the big cities. But it is this laid-back lifestyle that has attracted international attention. At least, a quiet village within Gaochun county has come under the spotlight. Yaxi village, population 20,000, is about to be designated Chinas first slow city by Cittaslow, the sustainable lifestyle movement that first surfaced in Italy 11 years ago. At home, the residents at Yaxi are pretty much unimpressed by the honor. To them, life has been like this for as long as they can remember. Here, growing old gracefully is natural. Nobody living in this little county had heard of Cittaslow or the words slow city before this. The Slow City must also be committed to protect and maintain the natural environment as well as promote a sustainable way of development-all of which are the current strategies adopted in Gaochun. Cittaslow was founded in Tuscany, Italy in 1999. It was a follow-up from the Slow Food movement which started, also in Italy, in 1986 as a protest against the first McDonalds opening near the Spanish Steps in Rome. The movement championed a return to healthy, nutritious home-grown, home-cooked food. Slow Food has since expanded globally to more than 130 countries. Its mission has also broadened to include the promotion of sustainable foods and local small businesses, and the localization as opposed to globalization of food production. Cittaslow is an expansion of the Slow Food movement, and it actively

promotes a lifestyle that is sustainable, that will improve quality of life, and will preserve cultural and food heritage. 56. The best title of the passage is likely to be _________. A. Slow City comes to China B. Cittaslow and Slow Food C. Globally Expanded Slow Food D. Cultural Preservation 57. Young people in Gaochun feel their life is __________. A. far from exciting B. full of urban attractions C. free from leisure D. gracefully slow 58. The residents at Yaxi __________. A. cannot wait to leave for big cities B. are greatly honored by the name of slow city C. feel it no surprise to be titled first slow city in China D. like to have their slow lifestyle as long as they can 59. What kind of city can be a slow city? A. It protects its natural environment and has a slow pace of lifestyle. B. It has a slow pace and promotes a sustainable way of development. C. It has its own healthy, nutritious home-grown, home-cooked food. D. It is environmentally friendly with a sustainable lifestyle. B If the Internet introduced Gong Linnas Uneasy, the so-called Divine Comedy, to millions of Internet users late last year, then Hunan TV made it a hit. Gongs performance of Uneasy on New Years Eve thrilled countless viewers. Apparently thousands of viewers sang along to the song. When you see a sing-along like this, however, you cant help wondering: how can this happen? This isnt a song like other popular ones on the Internet, such as Love Trading; and its not as friendly and easy to listen to as The Legend. And the lyrics dont make any sensethey consist of syllables () used in Peking Opera. So, how could it become such a sensation ()? If you saw the original video of Gong singing Uneasy at a New Year concert in Beijing last year, you might find something more impressive than the song itself: Gong gave a dramatic performance, in which her facial expressions and body movements were so exaggerated () that it makes you laugh. People find it amusing, even funny actually, said Liu Xiaoyun, a folk music professor at Nanjing University of the Arts. Thats why its unforgettable. Soon online videos imitating, or making fun of the song were everywhere. Not only net-worms, celebrities have shown interest too. After Faye Wong posted on her micro blog that she wanted to sing the song, millions of fans expected that shed give a surprise performance of it at her comeback concerts. Gong is certainly a serious artist. This time she might have shown that arty music can also be popular. And for that, she should get credit.

We should give Gong Linna credit because __________. A. she proved that arty music can be popular B. she created a divine comedy Uneasy C. she gave a wonderful performance D. she took arty music very seriously C Cyber language was popular among Chinese netizens, who created English words to reflect novel phenomenon in society. Geilivable, combining pinyin of Chinese characters Geili (giving strength) with the English suffix for adjectives, literally means giving power or cool. Similarly, Hengeilivable means very cool, and ungeilivable means dull, not cool at all. Antizen referred to the group of college graduates who, earning a small salary and living in small rented apartments, were like the tiny and laborious ants. David Tool, a professor with the Beijing International Studies University said it very interesting to combine Chinese with English to create new words. English is no longer mysterious to the Chinese people. They can use the language in a flexible way according to their own experiences, he said. Chinese words and expressions were created, as well, by netizens. One example was Suan Ni Hen. This three-character expression, which originally meant you win with the first character carrying the same pronunciation as garlic in Chinese, is used to satirize () high garlic and food prices this winter. Chinese people use the character bei before a verb to show a passive voice, and it was used by netizens to show the helplessness in front of false conclusions and fake media reports. For instance, zisha means suicide while beizisha means be officially presumed to have committed suicide, and xiaokang means fairly comfortable life while beixiaokang means be said to be living a fairly comfortable life. Wu Zhongmin, a professor at the Party School of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, saw the phenomenon of word creation as a natural response to young people to social issues. Cyber

language is more vivid and it shortens peoples distances, he said. 64. The passage mainly tells us that __________. A. Cyber language is a new fashion B. Cool Cyber words are of great fun C.

Chinese netizens created English words by __________. A. combining Chinese characters with the English B. using the character carrying the same pronunciation C. combining pinyin of Chinese characters with the English suffix D. putting the character bei before an English word D Want to escape from busy and routine life?

Dr Stanley, a sleep expert says, Waking too early is one of the classic signs of depression, though no one knows why. Changes in your environment can also wake you too early, as we wake easily in the morning anyway as sleep becomes lighter. 72 If you think the issue is insomnia (), speak to your doctor. Walking/talking in your sleep Everyone is capable of sleepwalking or talking, explains sleep expert Dr Stanley. The conscious part of your brain can be deeply asleep while other bits, such as the area controlling movement and navigation, are still awake. The problem can run in families, but it can also occur to anyone when sleep is partially disturbed, meaning part of their brain is awake. 73 Parasomnia () is also common in children as their nervous system is still developing. The advice is to try to work out the causes which disturb full sleep (such as alcohol), and check if the problem runs in your family. Teeth-grinding() Teeth-grinding is usually due to genetics or stress. Treatment is important, as people who grind their teeth have dental problems but also tension headaches, says Dr Stanley. 74 If teeth-grinding is caused by stress, then the cause should be addressed. Nightmares Stress may be a factor, but otherwise they are a random occurrence. Nightmares are luck of the draw, says Dr Stanley. We all dream four or five times a night, but only remember them if we wake up during or just after them. So we are all probably having disturbing dreams and just not remembering them. People often associate nightmares with stress, which then makes them more anxious. 75 Try to improve your sleep so you wake up less often. A. But later sleep is much lighter and more likely to be disturbed by noises. B. Here, we examine some of the most common and explain how to cope with them. C. Although stress can cause you to wake up more, remember we all have bad dreams all the time. D. Usual treatment is a gum shield, though some people grind through these. E. If you feel fine during the day then whatevers happening isnt a problem. F. One cause is alcohol, which lightens sleep. G. There are many kinds of sleep problems that you may not know.

I feel refreshing (refreshed) and energetic for another weeks work-load. Drunk Driving Nobody could have failed to notice the fact that drunk driving has become a grave problem in China in the past few years. Reports are often heard about deaths and injuries resulting from drunk driving. I think the following factors might have led to this problem. First, in China, we have the custom of urging guests to drink more and regard it as a sign of hospitality. Some even encourage drivers to drink. Secondly, the boom of Chinese economy in the past decades has brought along a sharp increase in the number of private cars in this country. However, many drivers are not fully aware of the danger of driving after drinking. Last but not least, laws and regulations regarding drunk driving were not severe enough in the past. So, in order to solve this problem, I think that severer laws can be made and put into effect. And at the same time, the public should be educated about the harmfulness of drunk driving and the importance of traffic safety. Hopefully, this can cause our nationwide concern.

MI see. Then there is nothing to worry about after all. Text 6[:Zxxk.Com] MHello. WHello, Mark Its Jane. I think Im close to your office. MSo where are you? WIm not sure. I got off the bus at the police station, walked straight down the road, and passed a fruit shop. Then I turned left, crossed the road, and thats where I am. M Oh, well. You made a wrong turn. Now, get back to where you turned and make a right turn. Walk ahead for about two hundred meters. And our office building is right across the road. Text 7 MHow can David always be so full of energy? WHe has a strange but highly effective way of sleeping. MWhats that? WHe takes a short sleep for an hour every six hours and has a total of four hours of sleep each day. MWhere did he get that strange idea from? WHe read it in a book which said it was the best way for human beings and he believed it. MHow many hours do you sleep a day? WI need at least seven hours. I want to try to follow Davids example but it never work ed out for me. MIf I sleep during the day, I can never wake up. WNot everyone is the same as David, I guess. Text 8[:__] MHello. Its it is Carol, isnt it? WOh, Mike...oh, my goodness! I havent seen you for ages! MNice to see you again after all these years. What have you been doing? W Well, Ive tried many things since we left school. Im now working for a large oil company, err, in charge of sales mainly, so I travel. MOh, thats great. You must really love it. WOh, I do. Yeah, its lovely. Its quite tiring though. But mmwhat about you, Mike? What do you do? MI work in a law firm. Im practicing business law, you know. WWow, thats interesting. MYeah.

WYes, we should. Look, give me your address and phone number. Err. Ive got my book here. OK, and then Ill give you a ring and we can fix something up. Text 9 MWhat do people usually talk about in English Corner? W Whatever interests them, such as weather, English study, movies, music, books, national and international affairs.

MIt must be pretty embarrassing if I still couldnt understand. WIn that case, he or she will try to explain the question to you in another way. You are expected to do the same when you ask someone a question and he cant understand. For example, if you ask, Whats your hobby? but the person you speak to doesnt know the meaning of hobby, you can then explain, I mean what do you like to do in your spare time. MSo he or she will know that the word hobby means the thi ngs one likes to do in ones spare time. WYouve got it. And whats the next problem? M Why do English people so often say something about the weather when they begin a talk with strangers? WWell, of course, the weather in England is always changing. Its probably the weather is a subject thats quite safe to talk about. MIts a way of reaching agreement. WYes. I begin by saying, A cold morning, isnt it? The other person says, It certainly is. I say. Its been cold all week, and the other person says, Yes, were having a very cold spring. MSo far youve agreed about everything. W Yes. Then were beginning to feel friendly. But if we start with subjects on which disagreement is possible, politics, for example, we might not become friendly. Text 10 It is very common to see actors and actresses smoking casually in films. And some people worry that this may encourage young people to try smoking. A study in the latest British Medical Journal magazine says that the more teenagers watch actors smoking in films, the more likely they are to take up the habit themselves. The survey was carried out among 5,000 US children between the ages of 9 and 15. The results showed that, among children who regularly watch films, about a third had tried cigarettes. It is time for the film industry to take effective steps to stop actors smoking in films, Stanton Glantz, a professor medicine at the University of California said. He added that film stars must understand that their actions have a real influence on childrens lives. Glantz also said that some of the childrens favourite actors are being paid to smoke. Any film that receives money from the tobacco industry should be required to declare that

information. he said
