　　They are among the 250, 000 people under the age of 25 who are out of work in the Netherlands, a group that makes up 40 percent of the nation’s unemployed．A storm of anger boils up at the government-sponsored(政府资助的)youth center, even among those who are continuing their studies．
　　“We study for jobs that don’t exist,” Nicollets Steggerda, 23, said．
　　After thirty years of prosperity, unemployment among 10 member nations of the European Community has reached as much as 11 percent, affecting a total of 12．3 million people, and the number is climbing．
　　The bitter disappointment long expressed by British youths is spreading across the Continent．The title of a rock song “No Future” can now be seen written on the brick walls of closed factories in Belgium and France．
　　One form of protest(抗议)tends to put the responsibility for a country’s economic troubles on the large numbers of “guest workers” from Third World nations, people welcomed in Western Europe in the years of prosperity．
　　Young Europeans, brought up in an extended period of economic success and general stability, seem to be similar to Americans more than they do their own parents．Material enjoyment has given them a sense of expectation, even the right to a standard of living that they see around them．
　　“And so we pass the days at the discos, or meet people at the café, and sit and stare,” said Isabella Cault．"There is usually not much conversation．You look for happiness．Sometimes you even find it．”
Unemployment in the Netherlands has affected _________
one million people
250,000 people
1ess than half of the population
about 0.6 million people
What Nicollete Steggerda said(Para．2)means that _________．
the students cannot get work after graduation
what the students learn is more than necessary
the students’ aim in study is not clear
school education is not sufficient
The underlined word ‘‘it” in the last paragraph most probably refers to _________．
material enjoyment
a sense of expectation

　　With alarming regularity, we read about oil tankers having accidents near land and the terrible consequences of the oil spills(泄露)on people, nature, and the environment．
　　Millions of dollars have been used in developing special chemicals to help dismiss the spills and to clean up the animals, beaches, and land spoiled by the oil．Unfortunately, when many of these chemicals are used, more damage is caused to the environment, especially to lives in the sea．
　　Of all of today’s environmental disasters, an oil spill may actually be one of the least serious．Although oil is poisonous, it is a natural material．In the end, it breaks down naturally．There are, of course, long-term effects, but it is usually more serious in the short term．
　　Nature by itself works better than chemical materials, but when there is a spill we demand that governments act immediately with as much hi-tech knowledge as possible．In 1967 the tanker Torrey Canyon sank off the Sicily Isles near the coast of England and spilled 120,000 tones of oil into the ocean．If you go there today, you will find it hard to see any sign that it ever happened．
　　Governments seem to accept the risk of transporting millions of tons of oil by ship every day so that we can fill up our cars and drive around and cause even more environmental damage．Interestingly, the biggest companies in the world produce cars, and the next biggest supply the gasoline to make them run!
　　We should be thinking more about reducing our dependency on oil．Governments should be encouraging research into new technologies, such as cars run by solar power(太阳能), electricity, hydrogen, and so on．Much of this research has, in the past, been held back by the oil, gas, and coal．
　　If the world’s millions of cars were 10％ more efficient(高效的)－and the industry could easily produce cars at least twice as efficient－we would need many fewer tankers crossing the oceans each year．If this happened, the risks of oil spills would be reduced, and the air we breathe would be cleaner and fresher, too．
What is the passage mainly talking about?
Oil tanker accidents．
Oil spills pollution．
What oil pollution is．
How to reduce oil pollution．
How does the author support the idea that oil spills are not as serious as people believe?
By giving a description．
By making an argument．
By giving an example．
By drawing a diagram．
What does the underlined word “risk” in Paragraph 5 refer to?
Transportation depending more on oil．
Poisonous oil breaking down naturally．
Millions of tons of oil spilling into the sea．
More environmental damage being caused．
Which suggestion is made for reducing oil tank accidents according to the passage?
We should develop new technologies to cut oil use
Tankers should not be allowed to sail near the coastlines．
We should build safer oil tankers in the near future．
Countries should build more oil pipelines under the sea．

　　Shopping in the United States changes a lot．About ninety years ago most people shopped in small stores that were owned by one person or a family．Women went from the bakery to the butcher’s to the grocer and on to the fruit and vegetable seller in order to get their food for the week．Then, about sixty years ago, supermarkets were born．In a supermarket, people could get all the different kinds of food they needed without going to different stores．
　　The next big change in shopping in the United States was the shopping mall．A shopping mall is a group of stores under one roof．Because malls allowed people to shop without worrying about the weather, they soon became very popular．The mall became a place for people to socialize in addition to shopping．If you walk through a mall, you will see older people sitting, chatting and drinking coffee．Malls are places for teenagers to hang out．Many teens will often just “go to the mall” and spend time with their friends．
　　The recent change in American shopping was the superstore．Large chain stores such as Wal-Mart, Office Depot and Toys “R” Us have been built all across the United States．Because they are so large, they can buy goods at a great discount and sell them much cheaper than smaller stores．Sometimes, when they are built near small towns, many of the small town stores have to close．They just cannot compete with their giant neighbors．
　　And now, online shopping is becoming more and more popular all over the States．People are too busy to go to the physical stores, so they go shopping over the Internet．Online shopping has lots of advantages．For instance, online stores are usually available 24 hours a day．Searching or browsing online shops can be faster than browsing the physical stores．While, online shopping also has its disadvantages．People are at higher risk of being cheated on the part of the merchant than in a physical store．And privacy of personal information may be let out．
Which of the following shows the right order of shopping development in the United States?
①small stores
②superstores
③shopping malls
④shopping online
⑤supermarkets
①②③④⑤
①⑤③②④
②③④①⑤
①⑤②③④
Which is the place for people to spend time with others according to the passage?
Small stores．
Supermarkets．
Shopping malls
Superstores．
Why can the superstores sell products at much lower prices?
Because they can buy goods at a reduction in price．
Because they are across the United States．
Because they sell all kinds of products people need．
Because they are built near small towns．
What’s the disadvantage of online shopping according to the passage?
Wasting time．
Fixed prices．
No chance to do physical activities．

　　When you cough or sneeze, you’d better turn your head away from others and cover your mouth with the full part of your hand．And then, you should say, “Excuse me．”
　　This seems so simple, but it is surprising how many kids have never been told to do this．Actually, I notice adults all the time who cough and sneeze in public without placing a hand over the mouth．One important thing I point out to the kids is that after they sneeze or cough on their hands, they should wash their hands as soon as possible．If not, they will be passing those germs(细菌)along to everything and everyone they touch．
　　If you come to a door and someone is following you, hold the door．If the door opens by pulling, pull it open, stand to the side, and allow the other person to pass through first, then you can walk through．If the door opens by pushing, hold the door after you pass through．
　　After a few weeks of seeing kids try to get through doors in the school and watching them enter restaurants as the door hit other people, I knew I had to discuss the problem with my students．Teaching them small acts of kindness, such as letting someone else go through a door first as they hold it open, may seem unimportant, but it can go along way toward helping students realize hot to be polite and thank others．Once they’ve been told, they’re halfway there．
　　When we have to go up moving stairs, we will stand to the right．That will give others who are in a hurry a choice of walking up the left-hand side of the moving stairs．When we are going to enter a lift, the underground, or a doorway, we will wait for others to exit before we enter．
　　After college when I moved to London, I was surprised at how polite everyone was in the subways．I was even more touched when I traveled to Japan．In both places, people made efforts to make way for others．On moving stairs, everyone stood to the right and walked to the left．On lifts, everyone would stand over to the side and allow others to exit before they would begin to enter．
When you cough or sneeze, you should _________．
touch everything
cover your mouth
point out to the kids
pass the germs to others
If you come to a door and someone is following you, you’d better _________．
hold the door
pass through
close the door
stand to the side
From the passage we ca know the writer is a _________．
The passage is mainly about _________．
the rules of behavior in public
the easy of communication
the acts of kindness among people
the knowledge of social life

　　I know what you’re thinking：pizza(比萨饼)? For breakfast? But the truth is that you can have last night’s leftovers in the a．m．if you want to．
　　I know lots of women who skip(跳过)breakfast, and they have a ton of different excuses for doing it．Some say they don’t have time．others think they’re “saving” calories(卡路里), still others just don’t like breakfast food．
　　But the bottom line is that eating in the morning is very important when you’re trying to lose weight．
　　“Eating just about anything from 300 to 400 calories would be better than nothing at all,” says Katherine Brooking, R, D, who developed the super-easy eating plan for this year’s “SELF CHALLENGE”．And even pizza can be healthy if it’s loaded with vegetables, and you stick to one small piece．
　　Breakfast is one meal I never miss, and the same goes for most weight loss success stories．Research shows that eating breakfast keeps you from overeating later in the day．Researchers at the University of Southern California found that breakfast skippers have a bigger chance of gaining weight than those who regularly have a morning meal．
　　So eat something in the morning, anything．I know plenty of friends who end up having no breakfast altogether, and have just coffee or orange juice．I say, try heating up last night’s leftovers-it may sound crazy, but if it works for you, do it! I find if I tell myself, “You can always eat it tomorrow,” I put away the leftovers instead of eating more that night．Try it…you may save yourself some pre-bedtime calories．And watch your body gain the fat-burning effects．
The word “leftovers” in Paragraph 1 probably means _________．
food remaining after a meal
things left undone
meals made of vegetables
pizza topped with fruit
What can we infer from the text?
Working women usually have breakfast in a hurry．
Many people have wrong ideas about breakfast．
There are some easy ways of cooking a meal．

eat something for breakfast
be careful about what you eat
heat up food before eating it
eat calorie-controlled food
The text is written mainly for those _________．
who go to work early
who want to lose weight

　　Rome had the forum．London has Speaker’s Corner．Now always-on-the-go New Yorker has Liz and Bill．
　　Liz and Bill, two college graduates in their early 20s, have spent a whole year trying to have thousands of people talk to them in the subway station and on busy street corners．Just talk．

　　Do you know that many clowns go to school to learn how to be funny? How would you like to go to that school? You could learn how to walk and talk like a clown．Then you could make people laugh．
　　Clowns may go to school for a year．There they learn to move in funny ways．They learn to run and jump like different animals．They also learn how to fall down in a special way．They make sure they don’t get injured．They make every move look easy．But really it’s hard work．
　　In a school clowns decide how they will look．They make funny pants and tops．Then clowns have their funny long shoes made．They also learn to make up their faces．Clowns carefully put special paint on, so they look silly．
　　They start by making every part of their feces white．Then they use red paint around their mouths to make them look big．Clowns may paint re spots on each side of their faces, too．Big red noses are added．They put on funny hair or funny hats．
　　Now they look silly．They are ready to go to work! You can see clowns at the circus or parade．They do funny things to surprise people．Ten big clowns may get out of a very small car．Or they may walk on a high rope．Then they almost fall．The faces they make when they try to stand up again make people laugh．

　　Many people write to newspapers and magazines to express their opinions．Letters to the editor must carry the writer’s full name, address and telephone number, although the information is not necessary for publication．This requirement to provide personal particulars is a clear indication that writers are responsible for what they say．When a writer wants his voice heard, he needs to claim ownership of his voice．Responsibility is the name of the game．
　　“People today prefer living together to putting their signatures on a marriage certificate because they refuse to accept responsibility for the relationship,” said social worker Ken Yip, “and this is what is causing a lot of family problems．” When we sign a paper, for example, a business contract or a bank document, the signature is a seal of consent, an agreement to take the matter seriously．Most governments and many organizations will not process written complaints if they do not bear the writer’s signature．The absence of a signature, they explain, tells us that the writer cannot be too serious and therefore does not deserve a reply．
　　There are people who wish to remain anonymous(匿名的)for various reasons．Multi-billionaire Mr．King donates generously to charity several times a year．He gives simply because he wants to help but not for the publicity his donations may bring, and he doesn’t want his good deeds to make news．In other cases, people insist on anonymity because they are afraid of the consequences of revealing their identity．Crime witnesses may be willing to assist the police, but most are unwilling to give their names when reporting a crime．
　　Name or no name? The answer is very personal and lies in how much we want to get involved．We all have a name．It is a matter of responsibility to use it when we make a statement, a claim or an accusation．We all want to honor our own name, and it is only by stamping our expression of an opinion with our name that we honor what we say．
What does the writer mean by saying “Responsibility is the name of the game”?
Writers should be responsible for their names．
Writers need to provide their personal information in the game．
Names are required to indicate writers’ responsibility for what they say．
Publications must bear the writer’s full name, address and phone number．
The second paragraph suggests that a paper without a signature may _________．
not get a reply
be accepted all the time
become a family problem
help to end a relationship
Some people don’t want their names known because they are _________．
ready for involvement
hesitant to make a donation
afraid of an accusation
unwilling to draw public attention
The passage is mainly about _________．
honor and writers
signature and responsibility
identity and signature
anonymity and signature
