Although international travel is usually an exciting and pleasant experience, travellers should take steps to ensure that their health does not suffer either from their time in the air or from their time abroad. BEFORE YOU GO Check with your doctor or local travel clinic which injections are necessary for the areas you are travelling to. Allow sufficient time to have these injections before you leave because they may take time to become effective. Be sure that the information on health is up-to-date. Check on the Internet if you are not sure. Don’t go to bed late the day before you fly. DURING THE FLIGHT 1. JET LAG Your body has a natural daily sleep pattern. It takes time to adjust to a new time zone. There are many different effects of jet lag: you may not be able to sleep, you may not want to eat or you may feel sick and tired. You may not be able to concentrate for some days after you arrive. There are several things you can do to lessen the effects of jet lag: － Do your best to relax during the flight; － Sleep as much as you can on the flight. Use a mild sleeping pill if necessary; － Drink as much water as you can; － Don’t drink alcohol and caffeine; － Take mild sleeping pills for the first few days in the new time zone if you need them. 2. DEEP VEIN THROMBOSIS (DVT) If you sit still for long periods of time, you will probably get swollen ankles and muscle cramps – these are painful but not dangerous. However, the much more serious DVT may also occur occasionally after long periods of inactivity — __________(1). This is not only true for air travel — it is the same for travellers by bus or train who spend many hours sitting in cramped conditions. To minimise the risk of DVT during the flight: - Stretch your legs and arms often while sitting in your seat; -_______________(2). Most importantly, if you have any worries about your health during the flight, call a flight attendant and tell them immediately how you feel. They will be able to help you. 1．What does the word “sufficient” mean in line 2 in Para. 2?

We have two cats at home. One is named Milo and the other Mamma. Milo is a boy cat. Boy cats are called ‘Toms’. We think that Mamma is Milo’s mother. That is why we gave her the name Mamma. We didn’t buy Milo or Mamma. They were stray cats and didn’t have anywhere to live. They started coming into our garden. They did not look very healthy, so we started giving them milk. Then they started coming into the house, so we adopted them. Because he didn’t have a home when he was a kitten, Milo is not very fit. We have to take him to the vet once every three months for a special injection. They have lived with us now for 5 years. 1．Sarah got the cats ______________________.

BEIJING — OLYMPIC CITY 2008 WHO WILL STAGE THE GAMES? Preparing for the Olympics Games is a huge undertaking. Just like the athletes, the host city spends years getting ready for the event. Before deciding which city will host the Olympic Games, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has to examine bids from all over the world. Bidding for the games begins about ten years in advance. Without preparing a very strong bid1, a city will not win the competition to host the games. Beijing was chosen for the 2008 games from five bidders — Osaka, Paris, Toronto and Istanbul.2 WHY DOES IT TAKE SO LONG TO PREPARE? Building the infrastructure costs huge amounts of money. Holding the World Cup in 2002 in Japan and South Korea, for example, meant that ten new stadiums had to be built, as well as many hotels and an improved transport system. In Beijing, after winning the bid the government began major construction projects — the extension of the underground, the improvement of the airport and the building of new motorways3. Each host city must also build an Olympic village for the athletes. By planting trees and creating parks, the city becomes more attractive for tourists. WHY DO COUNTRIES WANT TO HOST THE OLYMPIC GAMES? Hosting the games has a major effect on the economy and brings international prestige to the country. Thousands and thousands of visitors come to the games and the host cities are permanently improved. 1．Bidding for the Olympic Games usually starts ____________ before the games are really held.

2．Beijing was one of the _______ bidders for the 2008games.

3．The World Cup 2002 was held in _____________.

4．What construction projects did Beijing start after winning the bid?

5．Why do countries want to host the Olympic Games?

PAT THE DOG Did you know there are some very special dogs doing good work in our hospital wards? These are PAT (Pets As Therapy) dogs. Doctors and nurses are recognising the benefits of pets more and more — particularly for children, people with mental illnesses and elderly people who are separated from their own pets or have had to give up their pets. Stroking and playing with a pet is a calming experience and something to look forward to. One hospital reported that a man with a mental illness, who hadn't spoken for years, first stroked and played with a visiting dog and then started talking to it. Today, around 4,500 dogs and 50 cats and their volunteer owners are at work in the UK bringing comfort and pleasure to over 100,000 people in hospital. There are many other ‘working dogs’. There are guard dogs, police dogs, hunting dogs and dogs for the blind. Disabled people benefit greatly. Take the case of Alan Smythe, who has to visit hospital every month. Some things are difficult for him because he is in a wheelchair. But his life has altered dramatically since he got a dog, Tess, from the charity 'Dogs for the Disabled'. ‘She helps me to get dressed, and she brings me my socks and shoes. She fetches the newspaper from the shop, and she passes me the phone when it rings. I feel so much better too. It's like having a really good friend. She comes with me to hospital. Once, she saved my life. I am a diabetic and one day my blood sugar level dropped, and when I was going into a coma she went next door and she alerted my neighbour. He gave me an insulin injection. 1．Which of the following statement is TRUE according to the passage?

2．Pets are particularly beneficial to the following EXCEPT _________.

3．The first sentence of Para. 2 suggests _________.

4．The dog helps Alan do the following EXCEPT _________.

5．The sentence “when I was going to a comma …” means that __________.

In the UK, in business situations, when you meet someone for the first time you shake hands and say, "How do you do?". This is not really a question, and the reply to it is another greeting such as "How do you do?" or "Hello" or "I'm very pleased to meet you" or, if you have met the person sometime before, "It's good to see you again". You don't shake hands every time you meet someone, you just greet them. If you are invited to someone's house for dinner, it is usual to take a present - some chocolates or flowers or, if you know them quite well, a bottle of wine. If you do not know the host well, don't be the last person to leave. Telephone the next day to thank the host for the meal. English people don't like to talk about personal things, and tend to avoid religion, politics and money. Good topics for small talk (闲谈) are the weather, holidays, weekend activities, gardens and architecture (建筑物), especially houses and homes. When you go to a pub or bar, it's usual to take turns to buy a drink for everyone in your group and pay for the drinks when you get them from the bar and before you drink them. 1．The first paragraph tells us _________.

Benjamin Disraeli, the famous nineteenth century prime minister, said, "London is not a city, it is a nation."Today this is an understatement: London, with its vast range of different ethnic groups, is a world Certainly, London is the most culturally diverse city in the world.The city was founded by the Romans and since then new arrivals have constantly added to its character and prosperity. Within 10 years 40% of Londoners will be from ethnic origin, but most of them will have been born in Britain.Children of Caribbean-Chinese marriages will go to school with children of Russian-Irish couples None of them will be English but all of them will be Londoners Most of Britain' s ethnic minority residents live in the capital, speaking over 300 languages.Nearly all of the African population and many of the Caribbean population of Britain live in London (83% and 58% respectively): 39% of the Chinese population of Britain and 36% of the Asian population of London There are an estimated 330, 000 refugees and asylum seekers living in London, with most recent arrivals coming from Eastern Europe, North Africa and Kurdistan Young people, in particular, are skilled at deal ing with a large number of different and hybrid cultures.They themselves often have several different ethnie identities since their parents and grandparents may come from severa different backgrounds and their friends and partners do also They are"skilled cross-cul tural travellers" without leaving their home-town. 1．Why does the writer think that Benjamin Disraeli’s statement is an understatement?

People all over the world today are beginning to hear and learn more and more about the problem of pollution. Pollution is caused either by man's release of completely new and often artificial substances into the environment, or by releasing greatly increased amounts of a natural substance , such as oil tankers into the sea.   The whole industrial process which makes many of the goods and machines we need and use in our daily lives, is bound to create a number of waste products which upset the environmental balance, or the ecological balance as it is also known. Many of these waste products can be prevented or disposed of sensibly, but clearly while more and more new and complex goods are produce there will be new, dangerous wastes to be disposed of, for example, the waste products from nuclear power stations. Many people, therefore, see pollution as only part of a larger and more complex problem, that is, the whole process of industrial production and consumption of goods. Others again see the problem mainly in connection with agriculture, where new methods are helping farmers grow more and more on their land to feed our ever-increasing populations. However, the land itself is gradually becoming worn out as it is being used in some cases, too heavily, and artificial fertilizer cannot restore the balance.     Whatever its underlying reasons, there is no doubt that much of the pollution caused could be controlled if only companies, individuals and governments would make more efforts. In the home there is an obvious need to control litter and waste. Food comes wrapped up three or four times in packages that all have to be disposed of; drinks are increasingly sold in bottles or tins which cannot be reused. This not only causes a litter problem, but also is a great waste of resources, in term of glass, metals and paper. Advertising has helped this process by persuading many of us not only to buy things we neither want nor need, but also to throw away much of what we do buy. Pollution and waste combine to be a problem everyone can help to solve by cutting out unnecessary buying ,excess consumption and careless disposal of the products we use in our daily lives. 1．The main cause of pollution is __________.

Much of the pollution could be controlled if only __________.

Food packages, bottles and tins for drinks can cause __________.

Which of the following can not help solving the problem of pollution?

What does the underlined word “litter” mean in paragraph 2?

The chances that you will be a victim of violent crime are low. But you can avoid risk in the following ways. AT HOME - You should make sure your house or flat is secure. Always lock the door from the inside at night, but you must keep the key nearby, so that you can use it to get out quickly if there is a fire. - You must never give keys to workmen as they can easily make copies. - If you wake up and hear a burglar, stay quietly in bed. Pretend you are asleep. If you feel more confident, switch on the light and make a lot of noiseeven if you are on your own you should call out loudly to an imaginary companion, so that the burglar thinks you are not alone and runs away. You should have a phone or a mobile in your bedroom to alert the police immediately. - If you come home and think you see signs of a break-in, you shouldn"t go in, the burglar may be inside. You should go to a neighbour and call the police. ON THE STREET At night: - Always walk facing the traffic, so that a car cannot pull up behind you. - You mustn"t go through parks or woods. - If you think someone is following you, cross the road one or two times. If he or she continues to follow you, go to a pub or other public place. - Always carry your bag close to you, but carry your house keys in your pocket so that you can open the door quickly. If someone attacks you - remember your safety is more important than your property. 1．This passage mainly focuses on ________.
