17.When was the last time you wrote a letter?If your answer is"not recently",you can count  yourself among the many teenagers who don't often write letters.
A recent survey of 1,000 teenagers around the world done by the French stationery(文具)  company BIC found that a third of today's teenagers had never written a letter,half had not  written a thank-you letter,around 83 percent had never written a love letter,and a quarter ha d not even written a birthday or Christmas card.In fact,58 percent of teenagers complained that    handwriting was"too slow"and 17 percent believed it was"outdated".
These results have caused worries that the art of handwriting may one day die out,even  though many people still think it is a key skill.
"Handwriting is one of the most creative art forms we have and should be given the same  importance as other art forms such as sketching(素描),painting,or photography,"Jonathan  Skyrme,general manager of BIC UK &Ireland,told the Daily Mail.
The New York Times explained that a handwritten letter sends a message in a way that on line messages can never do."When you get a n e-mail,you can never be sure that you are the only person to have received it-or even that it was written by the person who sent it,"said the newspaper.
As US author Simon Garfield once wrote,"E-mails are a poke(蜻蜒點(diǎn)水),but letters are a loving touch."
So imagine the powerful message you would send if you actually wrote out your thoughts for another person by hand,bought a stamp,took your note to a mailbox and waited days for your special someone to receive it.Their smile at your thoughtfulness would say it a11.
25.What can we learn from Paragraph 2?C
A.300 teenagers of today's had never written a letter.
B.250 teenagers of today's had not even written a birthday or Christmas card.
C.Most teenagers hadn't written a love letter.
D.Over half teenagers thought handwriting was out of date.
26.The New York Times and the author Simon Garfi eld may both agree thatB.
A.1etters and E-mails have their own advantages
B.1etters are better than E-mails
C.1etters and E-mails send a message in the same way
D.when getting a letter or an E-mail,you're the only person to receive it
27.Which is true according to the last paragraph?B
A.It's a waste of time to write a letter.
B.People would be glad to receive a letter.
C.It is ridiculous to post a letter.
D.It's boring to wait for a letter.

13.The World Health Organization (WHO) said that processed meat may be carcipogenic(致癌).Do you still dare eat cancer-linked processed meat?Here are some comments on the website.
Bill (Australia) I'd rather live a short,pleasant life than a long,unhappy one,denying(拒絕給予) myself tasty food just because some experts say it's not healthy.We should all enjoy the one life we have---if I had listened to every piece of health advice I would never go anywhere,eat anything or enjoy life in any way.So,I won't change my habit.I am going to have bacon sandwich,glass of wine,burger,can of coke whenever I fell like it.
Tim (America) Is meat really as bad as smoking:I don't think so.According to the WHO 34,000people die worldwide per year because they eat processed meat.In 2012,8.2million people died of cancer worldwide.That means if you eat a lot of processed meat you have a chance of being among the 0.41percent of people dying of cancer because of processed meat.I'll take the chance.
Helen (Switzerland) The WHO doesn't say that just one bite of meat causes cancer,it is rather saying that people should vary their diet.People who eat more meat often have other unhealthy habits.They usually eat fewer fruits and vegetables and they also often exercise less.
Van (China) Perhaps this report will make people consider becoming vegetarians ( 素食者).So for your health,the environment and future generations,it is not difficult; it just needs a change of attitude.There is a vast variety of other delicious food available to enjoy.
32.What if Bill has to change his habit?A
A.He'll feel unhappy.
B.He'll live a pleasant life.
C.He'll go on a diet.

12.Recently I entered one office of our company,seeing a co-worker(同事) head on his arms.She was really upset.We began talking about work issues and the topic quickly turned into her daughter,her mother,her husband and her personal life.I just sat and gave her my full attention.This went on for about 20minutes.Finally,a smile came to her face and she said,"Why is it that I can always talk to you?"What I know is that I gave her my full attention and listened.
Listening is an important part of helping someone.It is different from hearing.Most people can hear but listening is a learned skill.You have to stop thinking about yourself and put your attention on the person talking.I believe if you really listen to one another,many situations could be changed.It means you give another person the chance to have him heard.To me,this is an important way to help others and it does make a difference.

2.How many things can you see in the night sky?A lot!On a clear night you might see the Moon,some planets,and thousands of sparkling stars.
You can see even more with a telescope.You might see stars where before you only saw dark space.You might see that many stars look larger than others.You might see that some stars that look white are really red or blue.With bigger and bigger telescopes you can see more and more objects in the sky.And you can see those objects in more and more detail.
But scientists believe there are some things in the sky that we will never see.We won't see them with the biggest telescope in the world,on the clearest night of the year.
That's because they're invisible.They're the mysterious dead stars called black holes.
You might find it hard to imagine that stars die.After all,our Sun is a star.Year after year we see it up in the sky,burning brightly,giving us heat and light.The Sun certainly doesn't seem to be getting old or weak.But stars do burn out and die after billions of years.
As a star's gases burn,they give off light and heat.But when the gas runs out,the star stops burning and begins to die.
As the star cools,the outer layers of the star pull in toward the center.The star squashes into a smaller and smaller ball.If the star was very small,the star ends up as a cold,dark ball called a black dwarf.If the star was very big,it keeps squashing inward until it's packed together tighter than anything in the universe.
Imagine if the Earth were crushed until it was the size of a tiny marble.That's how tightly this dead star,a black hole,is packed.What pulls the star in toward its center with such power?It's the same force that pulls you down when you jump-the force called gravity.A black hole is so tightly packed that its gravity sucks in everything-even light.The light from a black hole can never come back to your eyes.That's why you see nothing but blackness.
So the next time you stare up at the night sky,remember:there's more in the sky than meets the eye!Scattered in the silent darkness are black holes-the great mystery of space.
 
66.According to the article,what causes a star to die?D
A.As it gets hotter and hotter,it explodes.
B.It collides with other stars.
C.It can only live for about a million years.
D.As its gases run out,it cools down.

A.Black holes are dead stars.
B.There is nothing as mysterious as a black hole.
C.Black holes are invisible.
D.Black holes have gravity.
68.Which of the following is NOT a feature of a black dwarf?A
A.It is usually bigger than a white dwarf.
B.It is dark.
C.It is smaller in size than a common star.
D.It is cold.
69.What happens after a star dies?C
A.It burns up all of its gases.
B.It falls to Earth.
C.It becomes invisible.
D.It becomes brighter and easier to see.
70.Why can't you see light when you look at a black hole?D
A.For most black holes are so far away.
B.As the star's gases burn,it stops giving off heat and light.
C.As a star cools,its outer layers pull in toward its center.
D.The gravity of a black hole is so strong that it sucks the light inward.

4.Some years ago I was offered a writing assignment that would require three months of travel through Europe.I had been abroad a couple of times,but I could hardly claim to know my way around the continent.Moreover,my knowledge of foreign languages was limited to a little college French.
I hesitated.How would I,unable to speak the language,totally unfamiliar with local geography or transportation systems,set up interviews and do research?It seemed impossible,and with considerable regret.I sat down to write a letter begging off.Hallway through,a thought ran through my mind:you can't learn if you don't try.So I accepted the assignment.
There were some bad moments.But by the time I had finished the trip I was ail experienced traveler.And ever since,I have never hesitated to head for even the most remote of places,without guides or even advanced bookings,confident that somehow I will manage.
The point is that the new,the different,is almost scary by definition.But each time you try something,you learn,and as the learning piles up,the world opens to you.
I've learned to ski at 40,and flown up the Rhine River in a balloon.And I know I'll go on doing such things.It's not because I'm braver or more daring than others.I'm not.But I'll accept anxiety as another name for challenge and I believe I can accomplish wonders.

A.he had never travelled abroad before
