Every morning a woman baked Chapati, an Indian cake, for her family and an extra one for a hungry passerby. She would place the extra cake on the 36 for someone to take it.

A
The bus is a usable form of transportation all over the world because we can easily take it to go everywhere. Also, we do not need to worry about danger on a long-distance trip. Now, we have comfortable buses in London. I would like to describe how comfortable they are. First, the number of seats on a bus has been reduced from 44 to 19. The reason why the number of seats is now 19 is that the seats have been changed to big and comfortable sofas.
Originally, they changed the normal seats to airplane seats and took out ten seats from the buses. However, every customer wanted to have a more comfortable seat on the bus when they went on long-distance trips, so they changed them to sofas. Also, the owners of the bus companies wanted to make more money, so they tr ied to meet the passengers’ needs. They changed the airplane seats to sofas, so the number of seats is now 19.
As the new buses appear, the prices go up, too. The owners have many ideas, which you have probably never thought about before. Now they have bus attendants who serve water, snacks, newspapers, and towels.
Also, you can change the direction and the height of the sofa to make yourself more comfortable, and there is a service bell on each sofa. Moreover, some companies show movies on the buses. In addition, when you go on a long-distance trip, they have luxurious（豪华的）buses that have an LCD screen on each seat. That is not the only surprising thing on the bus. They also have different TV channels, movie channels, and seventy TV games for killing time while you are on the bus.
56. How many airplane seats did they put in a bus originally?
A. 10 seats.
B. 19 seats.
C. 34 seats.
D. 44 seats.
57. The direction and height of the sofas can be changed so that ________.
A. they can take up less space
B. they can hold more people
C. passengers can feel more comfortable
D. passengers can watch a movie
58. If you are thirsty and want to have a drink while sitting in the bus, you’d better ________.
A. go to the front of the bus to get it
B. get off the bus to buy some by yourself
C. change the direction of the seat
D. ring the bell on your sofa
59. Though there are fewer seats on the buses, ________.
A. the bus can pick up as many passengers as before
B. the owners get more money by offering better service
C. the bus fare remains the same as before
D. the bus is as crowded as it was before
B
A survey has found that in adolescence（青春期）a lack of physical activity is connected with emotional and behavioral problems. More than 7,000 teenagers in Finland took part in the survey that judged their levels of physical activity and mental and emotional health. Boys who reported less than one hour of physical activity a week were more likely to be anxious and sad than boys who were more active. Girls who were not active had similar problems, and were more likely than boys who were not active to have sleep problems and break school rules.
The researchers concluded that both boys and girls who are not active are more likely than active ones to have social and attention problems.
“Adolescence is already a difficult stage of life —emotionally, mentally and physically,” study author Marko T. Kantomaa said in the American College of Sports Medicine.
“Mixing that with negative mental and emotional effects brought on by lack of physical activity does not help young people enter adulthood smoothly. Physical activity could be a highly effective and relatively easy way to help that change and could lead to healthy habits for one’s whole life,” Kantomaa said.
Researchers said that evidence suggests that an increase in physical activity helps reduce problems of sadness and anxiety in both adolescents and adults. “It seems that there is a psychological（心理的）and physiological（生理的）connection that helps explain the beneficial effects of exercise on mental health,” Kantomaa said.
60. The first paragraph leads us to believe that ________.
A. a lack of physical exercise is common among teenagers
B. a lack of physical activity may cause many mental problems
C. girls have more physical and mental problems than boys
D. inactive boys are more likely to break rules than inactive girls
61. Which of the following problems may NOT be caused by a lack of activity according to the
passage?
A. Anxiety.
B. Unkindness.
C. Inattention.
D. Sleeplessness.
62. From the passage we can conclude that ________.
A. boys take more physical exercise than girls
B. teenagers who aren’t active spend a lot of time studying
C. plenty of physical activity is effective in developing healthy habits
D. physical exercise is the only way to cure mental problems
C

Chinese netizens who like to create and use cyber words such as "geilivable" might find a new regulation very "ungeilivable".The new regulation by the General Administration of Press and Publication last week banned the use of Chinglish words created by netizens for publishing in the Chinese language.
"Geilivable", combining the pinyin geili (giving strength) with the English suffix（后缀）for adjectives, literally means "giving power" or "cool". Different suffixes and prefixes were then added to the word. "Hengeilivable" means "very cool", and "ungeilivable" means "dull, not cool
Cyber language is popular among Chinese netizens, who create Chinglish words to reflect phenomenon in society. One example is "antizen", which refers to college graduates who earn a meager salary and live in small rented apartments, like tiny and laborious ants.
David Tool, a professor with the Beijing International Studies University, said it's very interesting to combine Chinese with English to create new words. "English is no longer mysterious to the Chinese people. They can use the language in a flexible way according to their own experiences," Tool said.
At the announcement of the regulation by the General Administration of Press and Publication, netizens expressed their concern.
"The administration is totally 'ungeilivable'," said a netizen named laoda1713. "I know other netizens will shed tears with me... it is a good chance to enrich our language".
"Language is always developing," said a columnist, Wang Pei. "It needs to be updated to absorb foreign culture and folk wisdom."
But an unnamed official with the administration said that, in fact, many senior staff from news media who supported the regulation were worried that years later, the younger generation would forget how to use formal Chinese expressions. The official also pointed out that the regulation was only for formal publications in Chinese language, and it only banned Chinglish words in the publication.
66. The new regulation by the General Administration of Press and Publication may be aimed
at .
A. simplifying the Chinese language
B. limiting the development of language
C. banning the use of Chinglish
D. making the netizens more serious
67. The underlined word meager in the third paragraph probably means .
A. poor
B. changeable
C. high
D. plentiful
68. From this passage we can infer that .
A. the Chinese people like their own language only
B. the English words are considered informal in China
C. nobody in China will support the new regulation
D. "geilivable" will be popular among Chinese netizens
69. Which may be the best title of this passage?
A. New regulation is announced
B. Cyber words make language lively
C. Different views about cyber language
D. New phenomenon in China
70. On which column of China Daily can you find this passage?
A. Entertainment
B. Business
C. Travel
D. Opinion

It’s that time of year again! The holidays are coming up, and you know what that means… it’s time to shop! Being the busy person that you are, most likely you will do some of your shopping online. And who can blame you? Great prices, great selection, free gift-wrap（礼品包装）…
what’s not to love?
But take care; taking advantage of the convenience in shopping online could bring risks to both your personal information and your PC. As long as you’re aware of the key issues, you can shop anytime, with the knowledge to protect you.
Not every Web site and online shop is a safe and reputable merchant! The truth is many thieves are quite skilled at crafting（精巧地制作）very convincing, legitimate-looking（貌似合法的）online shopping sites. Be very careful who you purchase from! Make sure you know where you’re shopping and that you read all the rules.
A common phishing tactic（网络钓鱼策略）targeting（把……作为目标）online shoppers makes use of online promotions and sales to encourage a consumer to enter personal information in order to receive coupons（赠劵）or other gifts. While many reliable sites offer coupons or samples, they will never ask for extra amounts of personal information, most only require a name and email address.
But don’t back away from the PC just yet! By taking into consideration a few simple actions, you can protect your credit, purchases, and personal information while shopping online. Go ahead and give that credit card a practice. You can be safe.
◆Always shop from a safe PC.
◆Try to stick to the sites you know and trust… suc h as Amazon, Overstock, and large store
websites.
◆If you heard about a “great gift” or “special offer” through an email from an unknown
address, it is likely fake and should be avoided.
◆Make sure that the connection to the website is an http. This doesn't guarantee safety, but
in most cases these sites are safe.
◆Consider choosing ways of payment, such as cash upon delivery
So enjoy your online holiday shopping. Giving the gift of happiness this holiday season doesn’t have to cost you more than you’ve expected.
