Global financial big dogs are no match for China's "Da Ma", or housewives, who have crowded into gold stores across China, buying up 300 tons of gold over the past two weeks. No wonder gold prices have steadied after taking a dive. During the May Day holiday, gold stores were crowded with mostly female customers. Most of them are middle-aged "Chinese housewives". This group of buyers has risen to fame recently. They are big spenders and are desperate to get their hands on a bargain. "I bought some gold jewellery and kept them as a gift for my son when he gets married," said a buyer from Shanghai. The gold business is skyrocketing. "Our sales are growing by the day. Yesterday we sold more than ten million yuan of gold products," a gold store salesperson said. The gold rush in China started about two weeks ago thanks to a decline in global gold prices. Media reports suggest that Chinese housewives have spent about 100 billion yuan, or about 16 billion US dollars, purchasing 300 tons of gold since mid-April. That has helped support gold prices. "Gold prices depressed since the middle of last month but have risen gradually. That is mainly due to the strong demand from Asian markets," said foreign trader Zhang Chen from Industrial & Commercial Bank of China. "Some people even joked that Chinese housewives have beaten Wall Street analysts." For Chinese people, with limited investment options, the only thing better than buying gold is buying gold at discount prices. 1.What does the author indicate in the first sentence of the 1st paragraph? A. The global big dogs can’t match with Chinese housewives. B. China's "Da Ma" help a lot to support the global economic crisis . C. Chinese housewives spend a great deal of money on gold D. Chinese housewives have a better consumption idea than global financial big dogs 2.The whole passage mainly developed_______ ? A. by comparison B. by contrast C. by quotation D. by time order 3.We can infer about the gold rush in China from the passage? A. The Chinese housewives are most willing to spend money in buying gold .. B. China's "Da Ma" crowded into stores to get gold as the best gifts for sons when they get married. C. China's "Da Ma" are bigger spenders and cleverer than global financial big dogs. D. China’s "Da Ma" become the largest gold buyers due to a decline in global gold prices. 4.In the writer’s view, Chinese housewives are desperate to get their hands on a bargain because_____. A. it is worthy to buy gold. B .they have a strong demand C. they have unlimited investment options D it is at discount prices. 5.The author’s description about the passage is ______. A. objective B. subjective C. doubtful D. negative

Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge's new son will be named George Alexander Louis, the royal family says. A statement from William and Catherine's settlement Kensington Palace said the baby, third in line to the throne(王位), would be known as His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge. On Wednesday the royal couple took their son to Catherine's parents' house in Berkshire, following a half-hour visit by the Queen. All three names had been among the favourites listed by British bookmakers and the announcement was relatively quick by royal standards. It took a month for the name of Prince Charles, the heir to the throne, to be announced, and a week for William, his eldest son. George has been the name of six British kings. The last, George VI, was the father of Queen Elizabeth II and reigned from 1936 to 1952. Alexandra, the female form of Alexander, is one of the Queen's middle names and was also the name of the Queen mate of King Edward VII at the start of the last century. Louis is one of William's middle names and was the given name of Prince Charles's tutor and great-uncle Louis Mountbatten, who was murdered by the IRA in 1979. The choice of name, relatively short by royal standards, does not necessarily mean the baby will eventually become King George VII. The Queen's father was named Albert, but chose to be crowned as George VI. "It's interesting that they chose to go with just three names," historian Suzannah Lipscomb told Sky News. "It's almost as if the royal family is coming down with ordinary people, who tend to have fewer middle names than monarchs(君主).It is a name that none can find any problems with. George itself can't be shortened in any obvious offensive way. They've probably gone for something that is safe." 1.Which of the following statements can best sum up the passage ? A. New royal baby named George Alexander Louis B. The royal couple gave birth to their eldest son. C. The choice of name was interesting and complicated . D. The new baby, third in line to the throne . 2.From the passage we can know the father of the new royal baby is ____. A. Catherine B. George. C. Charles D. William 3.Which of the following is True based on the whole passage ? A.. Prince Charles was the third heir to the British throne. B. George Alexander Louis was the third heir to the British throne. C. The announcement of the new loyal baby’s name is slow by royal standards. D. All three names , George Alexander Louis, were unpopular with British bookmakers. 4.The underlined word “reign” in paragraph 4 probably refers to ______ A. resign B. boom C. govern D. retire 5.From what Suzannah Lipscomb told Sky News , we can infer in Britain _____ A. the name of an ordinary person is simple but meaningful . B. George itself can't be simplified in any obvious offensive way. C. a monarch or a prince has usually more names in the middle than the ordinary people. D. a person with more middle names must be a monarch or a prince .

America’s No.1 health problem? A report published by the American Institute of Stress claims the biggest threat to health today is neither cancer nor AIDS.

A deadly strain of avian flu may have passed between people for the first time, experts believe.The avian influenza A (H7N9) virus is thought to have been transmitted between father and daughter in eastern China, according to research published online by the British Medical Journal (BMJ). The findings provide the strongest evidence yet of H7N9 transmission between humans since its discover in February, but its ability to transmit itself was deemed "limited and non-sustainable" by the Chinese researchers behind the study.At the end of June 133 cases had been reported, including 43 deaths. Most infections have been among people visiting markets, selling live birds or among those who had contact with live poultry（家禽） in the seven to 10 days before becoming ill. The latest study examined the case of a 60-year-old father who regularly visited a live poultry market and became ill five to six days after his last visit in March. He was admitted to hospital with fever, cough and shortness of breath. Despite intensive care treatment he died of multiple organ failure on 4 May. His 32-year-old daughter, who was previously healthy, looked after him at his bedside before he was admitted to intensive care. She had no known exposure to live poultry before falling ill with a very high temperature, cough and fever. The daughter developed symptoms six days after her last contact with her father and was admitted to hospital where she died of multiple organ failure on 24 April. Follow-up investigations(调查) uncovered almost genetically identical virus strains from each patient, suggesting transmission from father to daughter. Another 43 people were also tested who had had close contact with the father, daughter or both. Dr Peter Horby, senior clinical research fellow at the Oxford University Clinical Research Unit in Hanoi, Vietnam, said of the study: "The most likely source of infection for the daughter was her father, during the period that she cared for him while he was ill. "He said “limited person to person transmission had been reported for other strains like H5N1 , H7N7, and the pig origin flu virus H3N2. Those strains had been around for more than a decade but have not progressed any further down the path towards a world-wide virus.” “Limited human-to-human transmission of H7N9 virus is therefore not surprising, but strengthening to monitor it was still needed,” Dr Horby added. 1.What’s the main idea of the passage ? A. The findings about H7N9 transmission only between father and daughter . B. H7N9 transmission may be spreading between people . C. 133 cases of H7N9 transmission have been reported . D. Both the father and daughter died of multiple organ failure. 2.The reason why the daughter died of multiple organ failure was that _____. A. she fell ill with a very high temperature, cough and fever. B. she was exposed to live poultry before falling ill. C. she had close contact with the father while caring for her sick father . D. she sold live birds in five to six days before falling ill . 3.Which of the following is Wrong about H7N9 transmission? A. It was limited and non-sustainable B. It was person to person transmission C. It wasn’t progressed any further down the path towards a world-wide virus. D. It happened between father and daughter . 4.The underlined word s “was deemed” in paragraph 2 probably means _______ A. was decreased B. was regarded as C. was thought of D. was developed 5.What type of writing is the article likely to be ? A. A news report. B. Popular science. C.A medical report D.A medical findings

[1] Dogs are social animals and without proper training, they will behave like wild animals. They will spoil your house, destroy your belongings, bark excessively, fight other dogs and even bite you. Nearly all behavior problems are perfectly normal dog activities that occur at the wrong time or place or are directed at the wrong thing. The key to preventing or treating behavior problems is learning to teach the dog to redirect its normal behavior to outlets(发泄) that are acceptable in the home environment. [2] One of the best things you can do for your dog and yourself is to obedience train (驯服) it. Obedience training doesn't solve all behavior problems, but it is the foundation for solving just about any problem. Training opens up a line of communication between you and your dog. Effective communication is necessary to instruct your dog about what you want it to do. [3] Training is also an easy way to establish the social rank order. When your dog obeys a simple request of “come here, sit,” it is showing obedience and respect for you. It is not necessary to establish yourself as top dog or leader of the dog pack (群) by using extreme steps. You can teach your dog its subordinate (从属的) role by teaching it to show obedience to you. Most dogs love performing tricks for you to pleasantly accept that you are in charge. [4] Training should be fun and rewarding for you and your dog. It can enrich your relationship and make living together more enjoyable. A well-trained dog is more confident and can more safely be allowed a greater amount of freedom than ______ 1.What’s the main idea of the passage (no more than 8 words) ____________________________________________________ 2.Complete the following statement with words from Paragraph 2 . (no more than 3 words) _____________________ is essential to the dogs though it can't solve all behavior problems. 3.Fill in the blanks in paragraph 4 with proper words (no more than 4 words) ____________________________________________________ 4.Point out at least 4 benefits of training dogs in Para.4 . (no more than 4 words) ____________________________________________________ 5.What does the word “it ”(Line 1 , Paragraph 4) refer to ?
