London’s newest skyscraper(摩天大楼)is called the Shard and it cost about430million pounds to
build.At a height of almost310metres,it is the tallest building in Europe.The Shard has completely changed the appearance of London.However,not everyone thinks that it is a change for the better.
The Shard was designed by the famous Italian architect Renzo Piano.When he began designing the
Shard for London,Piano wanted a very tall building that looked like a spire(尖顶).He wanted the glass
surfaces to reflect the sky and the city.The sides of the building aren’t regular.So the building has an unusual shape.It looks like a very thin,sharp piece of broken glass.And that is how the building got the name:the Shard.Piano says that the spire shape of the Shard is part of a great London tradition.The shape reminds him of the spires of the churches of London or the tall masts(桅杆)of the ships that were once on the river Thames.
The Shard has87floors.At the top,there is an observatory.At the moment the building is empty,but eventually there will be a five-star hotel.There will also be top quality restaurants,apartments and
offices.
Before building work began,a lot of people didn’t want the Shard though the plans were approved. Now they are still unhappy about the Shard.Some critics say that such a tall skyscraper might be good in a city like New York,but not in London.They say that the best thing about the Shard is its spire shape. But that is the only thing.There is no decoration,only flat surfaces.The Egyptians did that4,500years ago.They also think the Shard is too big for London.It destroys the beauty of the city.
Other critics don’t like what the Shard seems to represent.They say that the Shard shows how London is becoming more unequal.Only very rich people can afford to buy the expensive private apartments and stay in the hotel.But the people who live near the Shard are among the poorest in London. So the Shard seems a symbol of the division in society between the very rich and the poor.
The Shard now dominates the London skyline.It is not certain,however,that ordinary London citizens will ever accept it as a valuable addition to the city.
4.London’s newest skyscraper is called the Shard because of______.
A.its cost
B.its size
C.its height
D.its shape
5When he designed the Shard,Piano wanted it to______.
A.change London’s skyline
B.imitate the Egyptian style
C.inherit London’s tradition
D.attract potential visitors
6.The critics who refer to social division think the Shard______.
A.is far away from the poor area
B.is intended for wealthy people
C.is only preferred by the rich
D.is popular only with Londoners
7.Which would be the best title for the passage?
A.The Shard:Work of a Great Architect
B.The Shard:New Symbol of London?
C.The Shard:A Change for the Better?
D The Shard:Cheers and Claps
C
(Q=Question;A=Answer)
Situation I
Q:If someone sits right next to me in an empty movie theater,is it rude to move?
A:Maybe,but nobody will fault you for it.Chances are that close sitter doesn't realize he disturbs you,so
he may miss your annoyance.You undoubtedly aren't the first person he's met who needs enough room. Forgive his bad judgment,move quietly and enjoy the show.
Situation II
Q:If I use the bathroom at a store,do I need to buy something?
A:Consider frequency and urgency.Is this a one-time or an emergency?If so,you don't have to buy anything,but it would be kind if you did.However,if you regularly use the bathroom at this place,then you are a customer,and you should act like one.
Situation III
Q:If someone is talking loudly on the bus,is there a nice way to ask him to keep it down?
A:No.Try other means.1)Stare at him until he gets aware of it and quiets down.2)Lift your finger in a silence motion(动作)and smile.3)Put on earphones and ignore him.
Situation IV
Q:If I remember my friend's birthday a day late,should I apologize or just wish her a happy birthday like nothing happened?
A:This is the reason why the word belated was invented."Happy belated birthday!"is short for:"Well,I know I forgot,but then I remembered.Forgive me and happy birthday."
Situation V
Q:Can I lie about seeing a text because I was too busy or lazy to respond(回复)to it?
A:Don't lie.Receiving a text does not mean you need to respond to it.Why waste a perfectly good lie when the truth will serve?"Yes,"you can say if ever asked,"I saw it."No explanation is needed as to why you don't respond.
8.You will get annoyed in a theater when..

As has been all too apparent in recent days at Balcombe,few issues cause greater concern than energy policy.Many village communities feel their countryside is being ruined by the power-producing machines of wind farms;yet they never take"direct action",even though the planning laws put them at a severe disadvantage.And the generous subsidies(财政补贴),which encourage the expansion of wind
power,are not favorable to the village communities and set landowners in conflict with other residents
(居民).
Those who disagree with the rapid expansion of wind farms state that the damage they cause is out of proportion(比例)to the benefits they bring,because their energy output cannot match that of the
carbon-based power stations they are supposed to replace.Supporters insist that wind must be part of a mix of renewables,nuclear and carbon,and that the country is committed to meeting EU(European Union)targets for non-carbon energy generation.
Against this background,the fact that there is an argument within the Government over whether to publish an official report on wind farms'impact on the countryside becomes even more extraordinary. The two parties in the coalition(联合)government are in disagreement over what it should say.
We have some advice for the two parties:publish the report,and let the country be the judge.Even if it contains evidence that wind farms are harmful,it will hardly be a pleasant surprise to people who do not like them.Equally,supporters must argue their case by acknowledging the concerns and explaining why they are either misplaced or worthy of much attention.
The suggestion that further negotiations are to take place to produce an"acceptable"report suggests that the politics of coalition government are doing the country harm in a certain way.Given the sensitivities involved,all the information should be available so that people can reach their own conclusions,rather than being left with the suspicion（猜疑）that facts are being replaced by political beliefs.
12.We can learn from the first paragraph that__________.
A.many village communities are satisfied with the subsidies
B.the residents are in favor of the expansion of wind farms
C.energy policy catches much attention of the public
D.the planning laws offer great benefits to the residents
13.Supporters think that the expansion of wind power____.
A.is more rapid than that of carbon-based power
B.agrees with EU targets for non-carbon energy generation
C.is expected to be much better than that of nuclear power
D.guarantees an increase in energy output
14.It can be inferred from the passage that____.
A.an official report will settle the energy problem
B.the two parties are divided over the issue of wind farms
C.the two parties have agreed on a further negotiation
D.political beliefs concerning energy issue go against facts
15.Which of the following reflects the author's opinion?
A.Increase political impact on energy policy.
B.Leave the two parties to reach their own conclusions.
C.Let the nation judge the facts about wind power.
D.Release a statement of supporters on wind farm.

Kids'health:Four steps for fighting stress
Everybody gets stressed from time to time.16Some ways of dealing with stress like screaming or hitting someone-don't solve much.But other ways,like talking to someone you trust,can lead you to solving your problem or at least feeling better.
Try taking these four steps the next time you are stressed:
(1)Get support.When you need help,reach out to the people who care about you.Talk
to a trusted adult,such as a parent or other relatives.17They might have
had similar problems,such as dealing with a test,or the death of a beloved pet.
(2)Don't take it out on yourself.Sometimes when kids are stressed and upset they take
it out on themselves.Oh,dear,that's not a good idea.Remember that there are
always people to help you.Don't take it out on yourself.18
(3)Try to solve the problem.After you're calm and you have support from adults and
friends,it's time to get down to business.19Even if you can't solve it all,
you can solve a piece of it.
(4)Be positive.Most stress is temporary(暂时的).Remember stress does go away,
especially when you figure out the problem and start working on solving it.
These steps aren't magic,but they do work.And if you can stay positive as you make
your way through a tough time,you'll help yourself feel better even faster.-20
A.Ah,it feels so good when the stress is gone.
B Ask for a helping hand to get you through the tough situation.
C.Notice your friends'feelings and find a way to help them.
D Different people feel stress in different ways.
E.And don't forget about your friends.
F.Then,find a way to calm down
G.You need to figure out what the problem is
