Singles' day falls on every November 11th. No one is quite sure exactly who first thought it up, and the most widely-accepted story is that it emerged from the dorms of Nanjing University in 1993 when four single male students got together to discuss how to break free of the loneliness of single life.
One suggested that because of the ones in the date, November 11 would be a good day to organize activities for singles. Singles' Day, started by a small group of
friends, gradually grew into something like the anti-Valentine's Day, a day China's single young people could use as an excuse to get together and have fun together.
Originally about being with friends and having fun, now Singles Day is about shopping- mostly online shopping. How did this happen? It's a long story, but the short answer is Alibaba.
By the late 2000s, most of China's Internet users were familiar with Singles' Day. There might have been some small shops online and off line offering sales on that day earlier, but no major company until Alibaba launched its first Singles' Day online sale in 2009.
In that first year, Alibaba was the only major ecommerce company to offer a sale, and it featured just 27 brands offering discounts via its T-mall marketplace. The sale was definitely successful, but it wasn't enough to redefine the holiday on its own. In the following year,
Alibaba went bigger, offering more brands and deeper discounts. But other companies had noticed the potential of the 2009 sales bonanza and decided to follow suit. E-commerce platforms like JD had their first major Singles' Day sales in 2010, and overnight Singles' Day went from a T-mall sale to something that was beginning to look like Cyber Monday in some
western countries.
Over the next few years, Alibaba. JD, and other Chinese e-commerce players all expanded their one-day discounts, and sales grew exponentially (以指数方式) . On Singles Day in 2012, Alibaba's marketplaces, Taobao and T-mall, did about $3 billion in sales. In 2013 that number nearly doubled, and Chinese shoppers had obliterated America's Cyber Monday spending records in just the first few hours of the sale. And it's only getting bigger.
(1 ) We can know that Singles' Day was fit set _______ .
A. by a large e-commerce company called Alibaba
B. for the young people who want to have fun together
C. to organize activities for singles to get rid of their loneliness
D. to express something against Valentine's Day
(2 ) Before 2009 on Singles' Day, single young people were most likely to _________ .

A. By 2009, Singles' Day have already became a famous online-shopping day.
B. Cyber Monday in some western countries is to celebrate Singles' Day.
C. In 2013, Alibaba's marketplaces did about nearly $4 billion in sale.
D. Alibaba was the first major e-commerce company to offer a sale on Singles' Day.
（4 ）According to the last two paragraphs, we can know that ______ .
A. Alibaba played an important part in the new definition of Singles' Day.
B. other Chinese e-commerce company like JD followed Cyber Monday.

Dear Lan Lan,
I'm now writing to you at Hartsop, a village in the Lake District, a place to have most beautiful scenery in English couple here to spend Christmas with them. This was planned for overseas students to know British way of life. by living with British families.
We came two days before Christmas and during our stay, we have had everything we expected. Christmas turkey, Christmas cake, Christmas puddings, Christmas parties and Christmas gifts under the Christmas tree. All are exciting and amusing, but above all these, we are deeply touched by the hospitality of the family, Roger and Anne Marie.
Anne Marie was a nurse and all these days, she had been busy cooking meals, washing dishes and showing us around. Roger, who was a doctor, knows a lot about China and still wants to know more. He plays us Chinese music and it seems to me he does better in that than we do. In the evenings, we all sit around the fireplace with Tim, a lovely dog, by our side. Like long-time-no-see friends, we talk about all the things that have happened or we hope to happen in our lives. There is always so much to tell and to know.
After three months away from home, we are again feeling how sweet a home can be. Roger and Anne Marrie are not like most of the other people we have met who always make us feel we are foreigners in a foreign country. They show such kindness to us that they bring us a person-to-person feeling. instead of a British-to-Chinese feeling. They make us believe that though there are differences of languages and cultures, one may always expect to find in every corner of the world the feeling of love and being loved.
How I wish Mum and Dad could meet them! How I wish you were here with me! How strange it is that the more I feel at home here, the more I miss my real home and all of you. We always talk about "when we go back home next year..." and soon we will turn this into "When we go back home THIS year..." for the New Year's Day is coming. Miss you.

Super Typhoon Megi crashed into the Philippines on Monday, leaving a trail of destruction in its path. Thousands of residents fled to safety as heavy rains and strong winds caused Hooding, collapsed trees and cut off power. It was the strongest storm to hit the island nation in four years.
At least seven people died in the storm, and at least six others were injured by falling trees, broken
rooftops and glass, officials said More than 4,150 residents were forced lo take shelter in schools, town halls, churches and relatives' homes.
A typhoon is a tropical cyclone, or hurricane, that occurs in the western Pacific or Indian Oceans. The storm is named a "super typhoon" when winds exceed 150 mph. Megi crashed ashore in the Isabela province of the northern Philippines with whipping winds that reached 162 mph. The storm created big waves in Palanan Bay. All ships and fishing boats were advised to stay in ports. Several airline flights were canceled.
Luckily, the winds blew high from the ground, sparing many rice fields from damage, says Alvaro Antonio, the governor of Cagayan province. The region also took a hard hit from the storm.
Thousands of military reserve officers and volunteers stood by to help with relief efforts. Evacuations and emergency preparations for the storm were made days in advance. Retired army Major General Benito Ramos heads the Philippines' disaster-preparedness agency. He said readying for the typhoon was like "preparing for war."

No one is sure how the ancient Egyptians built the pyramids near Cairo. But a new study suggests they used a little rock 'n' roll. Long-ago builders could have attached wooden poles
to the stones and rolled them across the sand, the scientists say.
"Technically, I think what they're proposing is possible." physicist Daniel Bonn said.
People have long puzzled over how the Egyptians moved such huge rocks. And there's no obvious answer. On average, each of the two million big stones weighed about as much as a large pickup truck. The Egyptians somehow moved the stone blocks to the pyramid site from about one kilometer away.
The most popular view is that Egyptian workers slid the blocks along smooth paths. Many scientists suspect workers first would have put the blocks on sleds （滑板）, Then they would have dragged them along paths. To make the work easier, workers may have lubricated the paths either with wet clay or with the fat from cattle. Bonn has now tested this idea by building
small sleds and dragging heavy objects over sand.
Evidence from the sand supports this idea. Researchers found small amounts of fat, as well as a large amount of stone and the remains of paths.
However, physicist Joseph West thinks there might have been a simpler way, who led the
new study. West said, "I was inspired while watching a television program showing how sleds might have helped with pyramid construction" , I thought, 'Why don't they just try rolling the things?' "A square could be turned into a rough sort of wheel by attaching wooden poles to its
sides, he realized. That, he notes, should make a block of stone" a lot easier to roll than a
square”.
So he tried it.
He and his students tied some poles to each of four sides of a 30-kilogram stone block. That action turned the block into somewhat a wheel. Then they- placed the block on the ground, They wrapped one end of a rope around the block and pulled. The researchers found they could easily roll the block along different kinds of paths. They calculated that rolling the block required about as much force as moving it along a slippery （滑的）path.
West hasn't tested his idea on larger blocks，but he thinks rolling has clear advantages over sliding. At least, workers wouldn't have needed to carry cattle fat or water to carry cattle fat or water to smooth the paths.
（1 ）It's widely believed that the stone blocks were moved to the pyramid site by _______ .
A. rolling them on roads
B. pushing them over the sand
C. sliding them on smooth paths
D. dragging them on some poles
（2 ）The underlined part "lubricated the paths" in Paragraph 4 means ________ .
A. made the path wet
B. made the path hard
C. made the path wide
D. made the path slippery
（3）What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 7 refer to?
A. Rolling the blocks with poles attached.
B. Rolling the blocks on wooden wheels.
C. Rolling poles to move the blocks.
D. Roiling the blocks with fat.
（4）Why is rolling better than sliding according to West?
A. Because more force is needed for sliding.
B. Because rolling work can' t be done by fewer cattle.
C. Because sliding on smooth road is more dangerous.
D. Because less preparation on path is needed for rolling.
（5）What is the text mainly about?
A. An experiment on ways, of moving blocks to the pyramid site.
B. An application of the method of moving blocks to the pyramid site.
C. An argument about different methods of moving blocks to the pyramid site.
D. An introduction to .a possible new way of moving blocks to the pyramid site. 第二节、阅读填空

Recently our class have had a heated discussion on whether students should be allowed to go for a spring outing.
Some of my classmates hold the view that such activity can give us much fun and being close to nature is good for our health. Besides, it can widen our scope of knowledge. However, other students think students should be forbidden to go for a spring outing. First, it will consume lots of time and energy and at the same time prevent us from concentrating on our lessons, which will probably affect our study. Besides, as some of us are not old enough to take care of ourselves, we may get injured.
In my opinion, it's good for us to go for some outdoor activities, which can help us build our body and will contribute to our study at the same time.。
