A man once said how useless it was to put advertisements in newspapers. “Last week,” said the man, “my umbrella was stolen(偷)from a London church. As it was a gift, I spent twice its worth（价值）in advertising, but I didn't get it back.”
“How did you write your advertisement” asked one of the listeners, a merchant(商人).
“Here it is." said the man, taking out a piece of paper from a newspaper. The merchant took it and read. "Lost from the City Church last Sunday, a black silk umbrella. The gentleman who finds it will receive ten pounds on leaving it at No.5 Broad Street."
“Now,” said the merchant, “I often advertise, and find that it pays me well. But the way in which an advertisement is expressed is very important. Let me write one for your umbrella, and if it fails, I'll buy you a new one.”
The merchant then took out a piece of paper and wrote: “If the man who was seen taking an umbrella from the City Church last Sunday, doesn’t wish to get into trouble, he will return the umbrella to No.5 Broad Street. He is well-known.”
This appeared in the newspaper, and the following morning, the man was surprised when he opened the door. In the doorway lay twelve umbrellas of all sizes and colors, and his own was among them.

（每小题1分，计10分）When you are not at home, many worries may start to crowd your mind. Did I turn the coffee maker off? Did I lock the door? Are the kids doing their homework or watching television? With a smart home, you can quiet all of these worries.
A smart home is a home with a communication network. This network connects devices(装置)，such as lights and TV sets, and allows them to be controlled from far away through electrical wiring, mobile phone communication or WiFi over the Internet.
More and more people may start to think about owning a smart home, because it makes life much more convenient(方便的). It can help keep your room at a certain temperature. It can record what happens inside the home and send the video to your phone. When you are on a holiday in another country, you can use a smart home controller to turn on or off the electricity when necessary. Some smart homes can receive a visitor, allowing him to come in and giving him a drink. They can even feed the cat and water the plants.
Besides, smart homes are easy to fix. Most smart home technology and devices are wireless and can be set up with a few tools, using only the guiding information. When a problem appears, you can deal with it yourself without paying for someone to repair it.
However, for home-users, the smart home technology is far from perfect. It can be rather expensive to own the technology and the devices. Also, because the smart home system allows its owner to get home information from anywhere, it leaves the home easy to be attacked by hackers, who may secretly use or change the information in the system. This may put your home in danger.
Now, many scientists are excited at the future of smart home technology. Imagine being able to get
fashion advice from your mirror, or receive food shopping suggestions from your fridge. While there are others who worry that those smart devices will make people lazier and lonelier. Whatever it is , one thing is for sure---smart home technology will change the way we live and work.

My Changes
In the past, I used to spend much time playing computer games. I didn’t like readin g books at all. I always behaved very impolitely, especially in public.
But now I have changed a lot. I like travelling. I have been to many places of interest, such as Hong Kong Disneyland and the Sydney Opera House. I like reading as well. I spend over seven hours a week reading different types of books. Usually I stand in a long line to borrow books from the library. I have learnt more about good manners.
I find travelling can help me learn about the world and enjoy the beauty of nature. I have fun reading books and get a lot of knowledge from books. They open up a whole new world to me.

听力原文：
A good dictionary is an important tool. It will tell you not only what a word means but also how it is used.
A dictionary needs to be printed again about every ten years. Languages develop and a good dictionary must show these changes.
A new English dictionary will only tell you how most people use the language today. It will not tell you what is right or wrong. It may tell you the right time to use a word. If only a few people use a word, a dictionary will either tell you this or not list it.
Every dictionary will tell you many interesting facts. If you type a word and the word is too long, look it up in your dictionary. All dictionaries show you where to break a word. And they also show you how a word
is spoken.

听力原文：
Dear Jack,
Thanks for sending me the snow globe of the monster. I love it. In fact I think it's probably my favorite. I've been collecting snow globes for seven years, and now I have 226 of them. My mom says I have to stop, because we've run out of room to store them. They're all around our apartment. I even store them in boxes under my bed. The first one I ever got was a birthday cake snow globe on my seventh birthday. I particularly love globes with animals. I have a big one with bears in it and another one with penguins. If you know anyone else who collects them, please tell me. I'd like to start a snow globe collectors' club. By the way, what's your hobby?
Love,
Ellen
