President Barack Obama has complained about the loss of privacy that comes with being leader of the United States, regretting the loss of simple pleasures such as a long walk or a trip to the car wash or supermarket. "I just miss—I miss being anonymous," he said. "I miss Saturday morning, rolling out of bed, not shaving, getting into my car with my girls, driving to the supermarket, squeezing the fruit, getting my car washed, taking walks. I can't take a walk." His dream, he said, was to "go through Central Park and watch folks passing by... spend the day watching people—I miss that". Faced with angry criticism for playing more golf than most previous occupants of the White House, he explained that the sport was simply the best way of getting away from it all. "It's the only excuse I have to get outside for four hours in a row, he told Hearst Magazines. Though he said he enjoyed his life in the White House, he felt disappointed with some of the ways of Washington, which he has failed in his pledge(保证) to change, such as the "kabuki dance( 日本歌伎舞)" among political parties before serious policy discussions begin. His comments may be seen as vindication(证实) by critics who have accused him of appearing too detached (超然的), and being slow to engage in vital issues such as Libya and the near shutdown of the US government last week. Since arriving at the White House in January 2009, Mr Obama has already racked up (得分)60 rounds of golf in office, more than George W. Bush did in his eight years. In terms of ability, Golf Digest magazine has ranked Mr Obama eighth out of the 18 presidents who played the game since it became established in the early 20th century. 1.What can be inferred from the first paragraph about Barack Obama after he became the US president? A. He liked living a busy life. B. He used to wash his car himself. C. He used to spend most of his time with his family. D. He is unhappy with being too frequently watched by the public. 2. Barack Obama's explanation to playing golf is . A. to keep fit B. to enjoy life C. to release his pressure D. to balance his work 3.Which one of the following statements is from the critics? A. The president is really a great golf player. B. There are always unnecessary procedures among political parties. C. The president lost a lot privacy, but he loves the life in the White House. D. The president seems to have no interest in some really important issues. 4.According to the text, which of the following statements is TRUE about Barack Obama? A. He regrets to become the US president. B. He has lost privacy ever since he became president. C. He couldn't play too much golf' because of people being angry with him. D. He is not good at playing golf compared with the other presidents who played golf.

Today's children are the "result" of the modern society. Our parents have jobs that keep them busy almost all day long. They only have a free day in a week. This doesn't allow them to keep an eye on their children. On the other hand, the modern society gives more freedom to the children than they could "handle". As a child, you don't know how to grow up by yourself until you reach a certain age. That is why you need school and parents to be by your side all the time. If you don't have either of them you may make a lot of mistakes. The social system of the modem society is very lenient especially with the children. Most of the children today are rebels(叛逆者). They are rude. They are given too much freedom by their families. This is their parents' mistake. They ought to know that the freedom they give to their children is misunderstood. For example it is a bad thing for a 17-year-old child to go out in the evening on weekends. Parents are also guilty of the way their children show up in the street or at school. The same guilt belongs to the teaching system as well. Pupils shouldn't be allowed to dress like they were on a fashion presentation at school. Another important fact we can think of regarding the freedom of children is their free will of spending money. Parents shouldn't allow their children to spend money on whatever they want. I think children are given too much freedom not only by their parents, but also by the society. The latter is more to be blamed！ 1.The writer implies that parents' busy lifestyle . A. makes their children become independent B. may lead to a tense parent-child relationship C. is harmful to their children's health D. is likely to create a troubled generation 2.What does the underlined word "lenient" ( in Paragraph 2 ) mean ? A. Not responsible. B. Not strict. C. Unkind. D. Unfair. 3. It seems that the writer agrees that students . A. should stay at home on weekends B. can wear trendy clothes at school C. had better wear school uniform at school D. can be allowed to go out in the evenings 4.According to the writer, which of the following takes the primary responsibility for children's problems? A. The social environment. B. The educational system. C. Each family. D. The school.

Why do people drink too much, eat too much ,smoke cigarettes or take drugs? What's to blame for all the bad behavior? Most people would say that, while these self-destructive(自我毁灭的) acts can have many root causes, they all have one obvious thing in common: they are all examples of failures of self-control, lacking the will power to resist them. According to a recent study, however, if you really think about it, something about that simple answer doesn't quite make sense. In fact, it turns out that sometimes it's having will power that really gets you into trouble. Think back to the time you took your very first sip(啜饮) of beer. Disgusting, wasn't it? When my father gave me my first taste of beer as a teenager, I wondered why anyone would voluntarily drink it. And smoking? No one enjoys their first cigarette—it tastes awful. So even though smoking, and drinking alcohol or coffee, can become temptation you need will power to resist, they never, ever start out that way. Just getting past those first horrible experiences actually requires a lot of self-control. Ironically, only those who can control themselves well, rather than give in to them, can ever come to someday develop a "taste" for Budweiser beer, Marlboro cigarettes, or dark-roasted Starbucks coffee. We do it for social acceptance. We force ourselves to consume alcohol, cigarettes, coffee and even illegal drugs, in order to seem experienced, grown-up, and cool. These bad habits aren't self-control failures—far from it. They are voluntary choices, and they are in fact self-control successes. Self-control is simply a tool to be put to some use, helpful or harmful. To live happy and productive lives, we need to develop not only our self-control ,but also the wisdom to make good decisions about when and where to apply it. 1. What do most people think causes bad behavior? A. Being forced by others. B. Enjoying their first experiences. C. Not having enough will power. D. Following the examples of their friends. 2.The author mentions his experience in the third paragraph to prove . A. will power helps develop bad habits sometimes B. drinking beer is harmful to the health of teenagers C. self-control should be developed when one is young D. everyone can be challenged by different temptations 3.In the last paragraph, the author stresses that . A. without self-control, no one can succeed B. applying self-control correctly is important C. bad habits don't always lead to bad results D. people can develop wisdom from bad behavior 4. What would be the best title for the passage? A. My First Sip of Beer B. Do You Have Will Power? C. Will Power Benefits Us D. Dark Side of Self-control

阅读下面短文并回答问题，然后将答案写在对应的横线上(请注意问题后的词数要求)o Many students want to find friends on the Internet as a way of practicing their language skills and learning more about new cultures. Traditional pen pals were the primary source for such contacts, and students could write each other letters. With the Internet, finding friends has become much easier, and such relationships are called key pals. However, care and consideration should be given when finding friends on the Internet: Search the Internet for reputable (有信誉的)services. Look for reviews of such sites to learn more about other students' experiences. Don't join a service until you have done your research. Check to see if you can use a nickname, instead of your real name, to protect your identity. Never give personal information to anyone, including your home address, phone number, and birthday. Stop contact with others if you feel uncomfortable with the topics of conversation. Again, if you protect your identity, this will be easier to do. Tell your teachers, parents, or even local law enforcement(执法组) if problems arise. Try to use the language you are studying in the classroom in your communication with others. Ask appropriate questions that will also help you learn about other cultures. Remember that someone's personal experience might help you to understand a whole culture. You have to talk to many different people, and this will get you started. 1.Why do many students want to find friends on the Internet? (within 15 words)
2.What are the relationships between friends on the Internet called? (within 3 words)
3.What's the purpose of using a nickname on the Internet? (within 5 words)
4.How many pieces of advice does the writer give about finding friends on the Internet? (within 2 words)
5.What's the proper title for this passage? (within 6 words)
