When you wake up,
1
a cold and dry
winter morning , you suddenly feel
that
your throat hurts. You begin to sneeze and later
you may cough. You must
have a cold!
Wait a second. Could it just be a
2
cold or the flu
that’s been
going around?A cold gives
you a runny nose and cough. But it’s usually easy
to
3
with. Some take
medicine such as aspirin
(
阿司匹林
)
4
others try
home
treatments like herbal tea or chicken soup.
Usually you feel better after a
flu on
the other hand can be much more dangerous . It
usually gives
you fever. Sometimes it
can be deadly. The worst
5
,
the so
-
called Spanish
Flu of 1918 to 1919, killed about 50
million people, according to The
Atlantic.
Don’t worry.
Getting a flu vaccine (
流感疫苗
)
can
6
you from the virus
(
病毒
). Flu
vaccines work by giving the body a small amount of
flu viruses. This
causes our body to
develop antibodies (
抗体
).
7
next time you get the flu,
the antibodies can help protect
you.
Unfortunately, the flu
virus
8
every few years. Therefore, there are
so many
types of flu, such as H1N1 and
H5N1. The antibodies for one type of flu can’t
protect us against all types of flu.
That’s
9
we
need to get the vaccine every
year.
However,
good health
10
may also help to prevent a cold or flu.
Washing
your hands often helps protect
you from viruses.
Getting
regular exercise and
eating healthy
food is also
important .
All these can help you strengthen
your
immune system

We spend
hours, days and years of our lives in education.
But how perfect
do you think your
school is? Imagine you could
design(
设计
) your ideal
(
理想的
)
school.
What would it be like? We wanted to find out what
teenagers around the
world thought.
Here is some designing from four children of
different countries.
Ma
China
My dream school would have an Olympic-
size
swimming pool, two football
pitches and a golf course.
It would
also have a cinema, a gym, a restaurant and a
shopping centre. My school has none of
these and I
think there should
be more enjoyable things
for pupils to do while they are
studying.
Sonia
Italy
I’d like a room
where we can go and relax and play
computer games and chat with friends.
Some older
pupils in the school have
this but I think there should be
a
place for everyone to go when they want to switch
off(
转换注意
力
) from the
lessons.
Richard
USA
I think it
would be great to have a day off every week,
as well as the weekend. If that day was
a Friday or a
Monday, we would have a
long weekend every week.
What fun! I
also think school should start later, at about
10 o’clock, and finish earlier.
We
spend a lot of time at
school doing nothing at all. I’m sure
we could learn just
as much in fewer
hours.
Rebecca
Australia
My
dream school would be big and roomy with a
computer for every person in the
school. I’d also like to
have a music
room where we can just go and play
instruments when we want. We need a
recording studio,
too. I hope that
teachers can
respect(
尊重
) our opinions.

Let’s suppose it is a
common day of 2060. Of course, things have changed
and life is very different.
Trips to the moon are being made every
day. Taking a holiday on the moon
today
is as easy as taking a holiday
in
Europe in the 2010’s. At a number of
scenic spots
（风景胜地）
on the
moon, many hotels have been built. In order
that everyone can enjoy the beautiful
scenery on the moon, every room has at
least one picture window. Everything
imaginable is provided for entertainment of
the young and old.
What are people eating now? People are
still eating food. But many foods
now
come in pill
（药片）
form, and
the food that goes into the pill comes mainly
from green plants.
Because
people in the world today are much larger than
those about fifty
years ago, most of
the earth’s surface has to be filled. The deserts
are
irrigated
with water and
crops are no longer eaten by
pests
（害虫）
. The harvest is
always
good.
Farming, of course , is very highly
developed. Very few people have to
work
on the farm. It is possible to run the farm by
just using a few computers.
People are now largely vegetarians, and
they eat only bread, vegetables,
fruit
and so on and they don’t eat meat or fish. You
see, as the number of people
increases,
the number of animals decreases. So people have to
be vegetarians.
We are healthier both
in our bodies and in our minds, and we know how to
deal
with all kinds of illnesses. No
one has to be ill any more.
Such would be our life in 2060.
51. What will be on the
moon in 2060 according to the passage?
A. Many green plants.
B. Many wild animals.
C. Many interesting places.
fresh vegetables
52. What’s
the meaning of the underlined word “irrigated”?
A.
冲刷
B.
灌溉
C.
淹没
D.
生气
53. Which of the following is
TRUE
?
A. People only eat foods in pill form.
B. People don’t have plenty
of crops.
C. People run the
farms by using high technology.
will be eaten by pests
54. Why do people have to
be vegetarians in 2060?
A.
Because they want to be healthier.
B. Because vegetables can make the
patients well.
C. Because
there will be more people and fewer animals.
e they want to be happy
(C)
In a
restaurant, a bug (
虫子
)
suddenly flew out of nowhere and landed on a
woman.? She started shouting out of
fear. With a panicked
(
惊慌失措的
) face,
she
started jumping around with both her hands
shaking, trying to scare away the
bug.
Her reaction was so strong that it panicked
everyone in her group.
She finally got
the bug off of her, but then it landed on another
woman in the
group. Now it was her turn
to continue the drama (
戏剧
).
A waiter rushed to their table. The
second woman somehow managed to get the
bug on the waiter. The waiter stood
firm and looked at the bug on his shirt.
While remaining calm, he carefully
picked up the bug with his fingers and threw
it out of a window. People around him
were impressed.
Watching the drama go
on, I started wondering: Was the bug responsible
(
负责
任的
) for their
behavior? If so, then why was the waiter not
disturbed (
被打扰
)?
He solved the problem perfectly without
any chaos (
混乱
). It was not
the bug,
but the inability
(
无能
) of those people to deal
with the disturbance caused by the
bug
that disturbed the women.?
I realized
that it is not the shouting of my father or my
boss or my wife that
disturbs me, but
my inability to deal with the disturbances caused
by their
shouting that disturbs me.
It’s not the traffic jams on the road that disturb
me, but
my inability to deal with the
chaos caused by the traffic jams that disturbs me.
It is not the problem, but my reaction
to the problem that creates chaos in my life.
