Scientists and experts have proved the
uniqueness of finger-prints and
discovered that no exactly similar
pattern is passed on from parents to children,
though nobody
knows why this is the
case.
The ridge
(隆起)
structure on a person's fingers does
not change with growth and is not
affected by surface injuries. Burns,
cuts and other damage to the outer part of the
skin will be
replaced in time by new
one, which bears a reproduction of the original
pattern.
2
Some
criminals make use of
this fact to remove their own finger-prints but
this is a dangerous and rare
step to
take.
Finger-prints can
be made very easily with printer's ink. They can
by recorded
easily.
3
Because of the simplicity
and economy of this system, finger-prints have
often
been used as a method of solving
criminal case. A suspected man may deny a charge
but this may
be in vain.
4
When a suspect leaves
finger-prints behind at the scene of a crime, they
are difficult to
detect with the naked
eye.
5
Some of the marks found are incomplete
but identification is possible if a print of
a quarter of an inch square can be
obtained.
A. Special techniques are
used to
B. A fingerprint is an
impression of the friction ridges of all part of
the finger.
C. It is only when the
inner skin is injured that the arrangement will be
destroyed.
D. With special methods,
identification can be achieved successfully within
a short time.
E. A latent print is the
chance reproduction of the friction ridges
deposited on the surface of an
item.
F. His finger-prints can prove who he
is even if his appearance has been changed by age
or
accident.
G. Every human
being has a unique arrangement of the skin on his
fingers and this arrangement is
unchangeable.

Hollywood movies are
regularly filled with sex and violence. They can
be exciting films but
sometimes all you
want is a little light-hearted entertainment.
Have you heard of
Bollywood? All singing, all dancing and
unrealistic, it is the perfect
alternative to normal Hollywood movies.
Bollywood is the Indian film industry, based in
Mumbai,
formerly known as Bombay.
1
Yet Bollywood is the
largest producer of films in the world.
This year the Indian Filmgare Awards,
Bollywood's Oscars, turn 50 years old.
The typical Bollywood movie usually has
the following ingredients: a cup of romance, a
tea-spoon of comedy, a dash of
international sight-seeing, served with a huge
slice of singing and
dancing. There
will also be one brave hero, one beautiful heroine
and one baddie.
2
Bollywood films are full of ideal
things and free of daily worries.
3
The actors change clothes
and locations within a single song. But
the audience don't mind. To Indian movie lovers,
especially the poor, such films are a
gateway to heaven and the stars are their gods.
The films take
them to a magical world
away from their everyday troubles. The films tell
them the impossible is
possible and
that true love conquers all.
4
Behind the beautiful
scenes, Bollywood still emphasizes traditional
family values. In most
films, if two
lovers want to break an arranged marriage, they
can't just run away. They must win
over
their parents.
Bollywood
is a decent refreshing replacement for those over-
stimulating Hollywood
films.
5
They will take you to
a brighter, cheerier and more colorful world,
where it's still cool
to dance around a
tree and sing a love song.
A
.
Bollywood has
gradually won its reputation on the world stage.
B
.
There is never
any mention of politics, poverty or war.
C
.
Most Chinese
school kids have probably never seen an Indian
film.
D
.
Bollywood
films are mostly comic romances with light-hearted
incidental music.
E.
Bollywood pays great attention to
traditional values.
F
.
The result is a
fun-filled musical.
G
.
So if you're
tired of all that Hollywood actions, check out the
following Bollywood films.

The
Internet
has
opened
up
a
whole
new
online
world
for
us
to
meet,
chat
and
go
where
we’ve never been before.
But just as in face to face
communication, there are some rules of behavior
that should be
followed when on line.
61
Imagine how you’d feel if you were in
the other person’s shoes.
For anything you’re about to send: ask
yourself, “Would I say this to the person’s face?”
if
the answer is no, rewrite and
reread.
62
If someone in
the chat room is rude to you, your instinct
(
本能
) is to fire back in the
same
manner. But try not to do so.
63
If it was caused by a disagreement with
another member, try
to
fix
the
situation
by
politely
discussing
it.
Remember
to
respect
the
beliefs
and
opinions
of
others in the chat room.
64
Offer advice
when asked by newcomers, as they may not be sure
what to do or how to
communicate. When
someone makes a mistake, whether it’s a stupid
question or an unnecessarily
long
answer, be kind about it. If it’s a small mistake,
you may not need to say anything. Even if
you
feel
strongly
about
it,
think
twice
before
saying
anything.
Having
good
manners
yourself
doesn’t give you license to correct
everyone else.
65
At the same
time, if you find you are
wrong, be
sure to correct yourself and apologize to those
that you have offended.
It
is
not
polite
to
ask
others
personal
questions
such
as
their
age,
sex
and
marital
status.
Unless
you
know
the
person
very
well,
and
you
are
both
comfortable
with
sharing
personal
information, don’t ask such questions.
A.
It’s natural th
at there are some people
who speak rudely or make mistakes online.
B. Repeat the process till
you feel sure that you’d feel comfortable saying
the words to the
person’s face.
C. Everyone was new to the
network once.
D. The basic
rule is simple: treat others in the same way you
would want to be treated.
E. When you send short messages to a
person online, you must say something beautiful to
hear.
F. You
should either ignore the person, or use your chat
software to block their messages.
G. If you do decide to tell someone
about a mistake, point it out politely.

Recently
some
American
scientists
have
given
a
useful
piece
of
advice
to
people
in
industrialized
countries.
They
say
people
should
eat
more
of
the
same
kind
of
food
eaten
by
humans living more than
10,000 years ago.
71
The
scientists
say
that
human
life
has
changed
greatly.
Our
bodies
have
not
been
able
to
deal with these changes in lifestyle
and this has led to new kinds of sicknesses.
72
They
are called “diseases of
civilization”. Many cancers and diseases of the
blood system arc examples
of such
diseases.
The scientists noted that
people in both the Old Stone Age and the New Stone
Age enjoyed
very little alcohol or
tobacco, probably none.
73
However, a change in food
is one of the
main differences between
life in ancient times and that today.
Stone
Age
people
hunted
wild
animals
for
their
meat,
which
had
much
less
fat
than
domestic
(
驯养的)
ones. They ate a lot of
fresh wild vegetables and fruits. They did not
have milk
or any other dairy products,
and they made very little use of grains.
74
We
eat six times
more salt than our
ancestors and we eat more sugar as well. We eat
twice as much fat but only
one third as
much protein
(蛋白质)
and much
less vitamin C.
75
But the scientists say that
we would be much healthier if we eat much the same
way the ancient people did, cutting the
amount of fat, salty and sweet food.
A.
Stone Age people lived a simple life without any
meat.
B. But today, we enjoy
eating a lot of these.
C. In that
case, they would live a much healthier life.
D. Ancient people also got lots of
physical exercise.
E. These new
sicknesses were not known in ancient times.
F. People today probably don’t want to
live like our ancestors.
G.
Modern people used to suffer from “diseases of
civilization”.

Five Ways to Build
Self-Confidence
Walk Faster
One of the
easiest ways to tell how a person feels about
herself is to examine her walk. People
with confidence walk quickly. They have
places to go, people to see, or important work to
do.
Even if you aren’t in a
hurry
, you can increase your self-
confidence by putting some energy in
your step.
_______ 36 ___ __.
37
One
of the best ways to build confidence is listening
to an inspiring speech. Unluckily,
chances to listen to a great speaker
are few. You can fill this need by creating a
personal speech.
Write a 30-60 second
speech that focuses on your s
trengths
and goals then recite it aloud
whenever
you need a confidence push.
Sit in the
Front Row
In school, offices and some
other public places people always sit at the back
of the room,
38
______________ . This is for lack of
self-confidence. By deciding to sit in the front
row, you
can get over this meaningless
fear and build your self-co
nfidence.
Speak up
During group
discussions many
people never express
their opinions because they’re afraid
that people will judge them for their
saying something stupid.
39
. By making an
effort to
express your opinions at least once in every group
discussion, you’ll become a better
public speaker, more confident in your
own thoughts.
Work out
Along the same lines as
personal appearance, physical fitness has huge
effect on se
lf-confidence.
40
. By making
your body fit and strong, you improve your
physical
appearance, refresh yourself,
and learn something positive.
A. Most
people prefer that because they’re afraid of being
noticed.
B. Walking 25%
faster will make you look and feel more important.
C. In fact most people feel good after
a walk
D. If you’re out of shape,
you’ll feel u
nattractive and less
energetic
E. Listen to an
Inspiring Speech
F. Create
a Personal Speech.
G. In fact most
people are dealing with the same fear.

Kids with special needs
refer to any kid who might need extra help because
of a medical,
emotional, or learning
problem. For example, kids who cannot walk need
wheelchairs. They not
only need
equipment that helps them get around, but they
might need to have ramps
(
坡道
) or
elevators' available.__1__
Kids with an illness would have special
needs, too. __2__Kids with sight problems might
need Braille books to read. Kids with
hearing problems might need hearing
aids.
__3__
It might be harder to do normal things,
like learning to read or just getting around
the school. The good news is that
parents, doctors, nurses, teachers, and others can
help. The goal
is to help kids be as
independent as possible.
Other kids can also be a big help. How?
By being a friend. Kids who use a wheelchair or
have lots of health problems want
friends just as you do. But meeting people and
making friends
can be difficult. __4__
Be sure to tell a teacher if you see someone being
bullied (
欺辱
) or
teased.
__5__ Being friendly
to kids with special needs is one of the best ways
to be helpful. As you
get to know them,
they may help you understand what it's like to be
in their shoes. And you'll be
helping
fill a very special need, one that everybody
has
—
the need for good
ends.
A
.
Some kids might
laugh at or make fun of them.
B
.
It is good
manners to offer help to kids with special
needs.
C
.
Life can be
challenging for a kid with special
needs.
D
.
They also might
need to get a special bus to school.
E
.
They might need
medicine or other help as they go about their
daily activities.
F
.
Also, try to be
helpful if you know someone with special
needs.
G
.
Someone could
have trouble with anxiety, but you wouldn't know
it unless told about it.

Where would you most like
to go on vacation? Paris? London? The Amazon
Rainforest?
Each of these destinations
is attractive. __1__
As a
new word, staycation refers to people staying at
home during their vacation time, and
going sightseeing around their
hometown.
Staycations have
become really popular recently, as a way of having
an enjoyable vacation,
without spending
too much money. There are shortcomings to every
positive thing, however.
__2__ You also might prevent yourself
from enjoying things to the fullest, as the
atmosphere
might be the same as any
other time.
__3__
It means you won't be
available for work or other activities.
What can you do to make your staycation
fun?
1. Go to a nearby town,
or to a fancy hotel in your hometown and stay
overnight. Treat
yourself to room
service and any other fun things the hotel has to
offer.
2. __4__ You would
have done it on a vacation, right? Treat yourself
to this, at least for one
day!
3. Throw a
small party. Think about the money you are saving
by not going away. You will
still save
money, but have more fun, and you will help other
people to have fun too!
4.
Go shopping! Window shopping, or the super fun
type, where you buy things! You would
have bought souvenirs
(
纪念品
) if you had gone on a
vacation,
so treat yourself
during your
staycation!
The most important thing to remember is
to do things that make you and your family
excited!
__5__
A
.
Eat out for
every meal!
B
.
Go on a day
trip to a nearby town, or to a beach.
C
.
But why not
remain at home and enjoy a staycation?
D
.
If you are on a
staycation, you might get calls from
work.
E
.
Most of the
time it involves dining out more frequently than
usual.
F
.
Make sure you
all have fun, and when it is over, you feel
refreshed.
G
.
The trick is to
make sure your friends and coworkers know you are
on a staycation.
