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

E. Bollywood pays great attention to traditional values.

F

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. 1 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?” I

f the

answer is no, rewrite and reread. 2

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. 3 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.

4 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.

5 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 that there 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.

Before going outside in the morning, many of us check a window thermometer(

温度计

)for the

temperature. This helps us decide what to wear. _____1____. We want our food to be a certain

coldness in the refrigerator. We want it a certain hotness in the oven. If we don’t feel well, we use

a thermometer to see if we have a fever. We keep our rooms a certain warmth in the winter and a

certain coolness in the summer.

Not all the thermometers use the same system to measure temperature. We use a system called the

Fahrenheit scale. But most other countries use the Centigrade scale.

Both systems use the freezing and boiling points of water as their guide._____2_____ .

The most common kind of thermometer is made with mercury(

水银

)inside a clear glass tube. As

mercury (or any other liquid ) becomes hot, it expands. As it gets colder, it contracts(

收缩

). That

is why on hot days the mercury line is high in the glass tube._____3______.

First. Take a clear glass juice bottle that has a cap fill the bottle with coloured water. Tap a hole

in the center of the cap using a hammer and thick nail. Put the cap on the jar. Then stick a plastic

straw(

吸管

) through the nail hole.

______4______.

Finally. Place a white card on the outside of the bottle and behind the straw. Now you can see the

water lever easily.

______5____.

As the temperature goes down, the water will contract, and the lever in the straw will come down.

Perhaps you will want to keep a record of the water lever in the straw each morning for a week.

A

．

We use and depend on thermometers to measure the temperature of many other things

in our daily lives.

B

．

Thermometers measure temperature, by using materials that change in the same way

when they are heated or cooled.

C

．

Now that you know this rule you can make a thermometer of your own that will work.

D

．

The water will rise in the straw. As the temperature of the air goes up, the water will

expand and rise even higher.

E

．

They label these in different ways. On the Fahrenheit scale water freezes at 32 degrees and

boils at 212 degrees. On the Celsius scale water freezes at 0 degrees and boils at 100degrees.

F

．

Take wax (you may use an old candle if you have one) and melt some of it right where the

straw is struck into the cap to seal

把

..

粘住

) them together.

G

．

People use thermometers which are made by themselves when travelling around the

world.

_ 1 _ One of the best things you can possibly do is to start you own club

．

It’s great fun especially

if you are the sort of person who feels there’s never anything to do during the school holidays

．

The first thing you need to come up with is an idea for your club

．

_2 _ Pets, clothes, pop music

or dancing groups, sports, making things? The list is endless

．

Next you need some friends to be in your club with you

．

3 _ All you need is three or four other

people who are interested in the same thing as you

．

4 You should all sit down somewhere together with lots of pieces of paper and write down every

name you can think up

．

That’ll keep you busy for ages

．

At your first meeting you should make up a rule book

．

And the first rule should be no grown-ups

or little/big brothers or sisters! The best clubs are always secret!

Now you have just about everything you need, except membership cards

．

These are very

important and again you can speed a lot of time making them

．

5 Why not leave some space for a

photo of yourself? That will make the membership card really look like it

．

So there you are, get clubbing! Once you get started you’ll think of loads of more interesting

things to do!

A. That’s easy

．

B. Enjoy your own club!

C. Invite a designer to join you

．

D. What are you interest in?

E. Some vacation is just around the corner

．

F. Then you need to pick a name for your club

My mother is a diligent and kind woman. She is very busy from morning till night. As a teacher,

she works hard. 1 Both my brother and I love her dearly as she loves us.

My mother has been teaching math at a middle school in my hometown. She goes to work early in

the morning and does not return home until late in the afternoon. 2 She treats them with patience

and teaches them well. For her excellent quality and very good teaching results, she has been

elected as a model teacher several times.

the living room and bedrooms or cleaning the furniture, and putting everything in good order. She

seems to be busy all the time. As she has been very busy working every day, she looks older than

her age. But she looks as cheerful and happy as ever. Mother never buys expensive dresses for

herself, but she often buys some inexpensive but high quality clothes for us. 4 She just eats a plain

meal outside when she is too busy to cook herself. She lives a busy yet simple life, without any

complaints.

Often she says to us, “work while you work, and play while you play. T

hat is the way to be happy

and gay. If you do not work, you will become lazy and be of no use to society”. What a piece of

good advice this is! 5 This advice of hers will always serve as a guide to my behavior. My mother

is great indeed, and I always feel proud of her.

A major source of teen stress is school exams, and test anxiety is not uncommon. When you

recognize your teen is under stress, how can parents help your teen stay calm before an exam?

Be involved. Parents need to be involved in their teen's work. 1 What they look for is your

presence - to talk, to cry, or simply to sit with them quietly. Communicate openly with your teen.

Encourage your teen to express his worries and fears, but don't let them focus on those fears.

Help them get organized. 2 Together, you and your teen can work out a time-table in which she

can study for what she knows will be on the test.

Provide a calm setting. Help your teen set up a quiet place to study and protect his privacy. Give

them a nutritious diet. It's important for your teen to eat a healthy, balanced diet during exam

times to focus and do her best. 3 If this happens, encourage your teen to eat light meals or

sandwiches. A healthy diet, rather than junk food, is best for reducing stress.

4 Persuade your teenager to get some sleep and/or do something active when she needs a real

break from studying. Making time for relaxation, fun, and exercise are all important in reducing

stress. Help your teen balance her time so that she will feel comfortable taking time out from

studying to spend time with friends or rest.

Show a positive attitude. 5 Your panic, anxiety and blame contribute to your teen’s pre

ssure.

Make your teen feel accepted and valued for her efforts. Most importantly, reassure your teen that

things will be all right, no matter what the results are.

A. A parent's attitude will dictate their teen's emotions.

B. Exam stress can make some teens lose their appetite.

While lead poisoning is serious, parents can take steps to reduce the risk for their

to see if you own any items recalled by

the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Get rid of any toys with chipped paint, or other broken

Clean Up: to avoid leaf exposure from sources in the home, keep floors and other play areas clean

and free of dust and pieces. 3 Store toys off the floor in a clean place. And if you live in house

thrift stores or yard sales. 4 Even if they don’t

contain lead, they could become a choking

early life, such as early rising, honesty and thoroughness.

The sea has always interested man. From it he can get food, minerals, and treasure. 1 But he could

not go far beneath its surface.

2 However, he is not a fish. He must breathe air, so he can’t stay under the water’s surface for any

length of time. To explore deep water, man faces even more dangers and problems.

A diver who wants to stay under water for more than a few minutes must breathe air or a

special mixture of gases. 3 He can carry a tank of air on his back and breathe through a nose and a

mouthpiece. Water weighs 800 times as much as air. Tons of water pushes against a diver deep in

the sea. 4

When a diver is under great pressure, his blood takes in some of the gases he breathes. As he rises

to surface, the water pressure becomes less. If the diver rises too quickly, the gases in his blood

form bubbles(

气泡

). The diver is then suffering from the bends(

潜水夫病

). The bends can cause a

diver to double up in pain. 5

A. His body is under great pressure.

B. Scientists are trying to find more about the sea.

C. For thousands of years, he could sail on it.

Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be pessimist.

seriously studying the meaning of color preference, as well as the effect that colors have on human

beings. 2 . If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as

soon as you could see clearly.

3 . A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one;

and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. 4 . A black bridge over the

Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides

Dear

Sir,

I have to travel every day from So UK Road to the airport. Two buses travel along this route:

No.49 and No.16. However, by the time No.16 reaches So UK Road, it is always full.__1__

The timetable states that there are buses from So UK Road to the airport every ten minutes.__2__

The instructions state that if there are empty seats on a bus, the bus must stop at every stop where

people are waiting. __3__

The instructions state that no bus may carry more than 40 seated passengers and 20 standing

passengers. Yesterday, I was the first to get off the bus when it reached the airport. __4___ There

were 129 of them.

Clearly printed on the back of every bus is a sign that says “Maximum speed: 50mph.” ___5__

Saturday morning a No. 49 bus traveled the distance in ten minutes, at an average speed of 60 mph.

At times it must have done at least 80 or even 90 mph.

It is obvious that our bus companies have neither respect for the instructions nor consideration for

their passengers. Can nothing be done about this?

Jerry

A. I counted the other passengers as they got off.

B. Is there anything we can do to change this?

C. The problem is that we have to pay more for our trip.

D. The distance from So UK Road to the airport is 10 miles.

E. This leaves No.49 which sometimes has empty seats on it.

F. If this is so, why do I have to wait half an hour for a bus nearly every day?

G. Why is it that half-empty buses go straight past me when I am standing at the bus stop?

21. Decision-thinking is not unlike poker-it often matters not only what you think,

but also what others think you think and what you think they think you think.

22

．

Then there are games of 'imperfect information', like poker , in which it is

impossible to know in advance that one course of action is better than another.

23

．

But few business people find it comfortable to admit that they are taking a

chance , and many still prefer to believe that they are playing chess , not poker.

24

．

In his view , what is called the present time is no more than a moment in

human history and we are just the First Men.

25. Yet to men of 50,000 years from now , we may seem as primitive(

原始的

)in our

ideas as the Stone-Age hunters do to us ., These words, which I have just made up,

have to stand for things and ideas that we simply can't think of.

26. Unless we remember how short our own lives are compared with the whole

human history, we are likely to think our own interests are much more important than

they really are and if we make the earth a poor place to live merely because we are

careless or greedy or quarrelsome, our grand-children will not bother to think of excuses

for us.

27. Excused from recycling because you live in a high rise with a rubbish chute(

垃圾

道

)? You won't be for long as Miami's Mark Shantzis has made it simple for those living in

tall buildings to use the chute and recycle too.

28 The system , which fits in the same space as the chute and container now in

use , enables glass , plastic , paper , metal , and other rubbish to go into separate boxes .

29. These plants get their water from rain, and the only soil they ever come in

contact with is the dust that may blow on their leaves.

30. After a good night‘s sleep a problem that couldn‘t be solved the night before

can often appear more manageable, although the evidence until now has been anecdotal

(

个人体验的

)

．

But researchers at the University of Luebek in Germany have designed an

experiment that shows a good night

‘s sleep can improve insight (

顿悟

) and problem-

solving

．

31. If you have some newly-got memories in your brain, sleep acts on these

memories and restructures them , so that after sleep the insight into problem which you

could not solve before increases,‖ sai

d Dr Jan Born , a neuroscientist (

神经科学家

), at

the university

．

32. Dr Jan Born and his team noticed that the group that had slept after the

training were twice as likely to figure out the third rule as the other group.

33. The important thing is that you have to have a memory representation in your

brain of the problem you want to solve and then you sleep, so it can act on the

problem

．

But Born admitted that he and his team don‘t know how restructuring of

memories occurs or what governs it

34. Pierre Maquet and Perrine Ruby of the University of Liege in Belgium said the

experimental evidence supports the anecdotal suggestions that sleep can help develop

creative thinking

．

Although the role of sleep in human creativity will still be a mystery,

the research gives people good reason to fully respect their periods of sleep, they added

．

35. A picture of a set of eyes on a computer screen can cause a change in the way

people act, and even images of eyes on a charity donation, collection box encourage

people to be unselfish, because people put more money in a collection box that has a

picture of eyes on it than they do when a flower symbol is on the box.

36. Manfred Milinski from the Max-Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology in

Germany and Bettina Rockenbach of the University of Berlin, the authors of a new study,

found that people act better when they are being watched because they feel they will be

rewarded for good behaviour.

37. Their report also referred to other research showing that this response of

behaving well when watched is somehow coded into humans and people respond this

way unconsciously, or without realizing it.

38. It is not just humans that act unselfishly when they are being watched. A fish

called the grooming fish cleans other fish. When other fish are around, it is gentler, while

when no other fish are around, the grooming fish bites chunks from the fish it is

supposed to be cleaning.

39. Psychologists are trying to find ways to help habitually lonely people for two

reasons; they are unhappy and unable to socialize and there is a connection between

chronic loneliness and serious illness such as heart disease, and, however, temporary

and situational loneliness can be a normal, healthy part of life, chronic loneliness can be

a very sad, and sometimes dangerous condition.

40. Although these gouges are painful, they stay open, reminding me of the love I

have for these people too, and I hope someday they may return and fill the space in my

heart, so now do you see what true beauty is?

41. While the res

earch is still in its early stages, Wilde‘s approach to controlling

appetite is one that some doctors say could be a key to solving the problem of obesity, a

state of being too fat..

42. The most important thing is that different layers of ocean water can act as

channels for sounds focusing them in the same way a stethoscope (

听诊器

) does when it

carries faint noises from a patient‘s chest to a doctor‘s ear

44. Those who support the ―nature‖ side of the conflict believe that our

personalities and behavior patterns are largely determined by biological and genetic

factors, and that our environment has little, if anything, to do with our abilities,

characteristics, and behavior is central to this theory

．

Taken to an extreme, this theory

maintains that our behavior is predetermined to such a degree that we are almost

completely governed by our instincts

．

45. Words possess power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive

encouragement when we speak positively and thus we can offer hope, build self- esteem

（自尊）

and motivate others to do their best, while negative words destroy all those

things. Will we use our words to hurt or to heal?

46. You want to get your message across, to talk to someone in English, as quickly

and as well as you can, and even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense,

it doesn't matter because the person you are speaking to will understand you and make

allowances for any mistakes he hears.

47. Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English

they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their

English always remains poor and if you have this proactive outlook, then you will see

English opportunities wherever you go.

48. Traditional computer models of the atmosphere have limited value in predicting

short-lived local storms like the Edmonton tornado, because the available weather data

are generally not detailed enough to allow computers to study carefully the slight

atmospheric changes that come before these storms.

49. In most nations, for example, weather-balloon observations are taken just once

every twelve hours at places separated by hundreds of miles, and with such limited data,

traditional forecasting models do a much better job predicting general weather

conditions over large areas than they do forecasting specific local events.

50. Meteorologists

（气象学者）

and computer scientists now work together to

design computer programs and video equipment able to change weather data into words

and graphic displays

（图解）

that forecasters can understand easily and quickly, and as

meteorologists have begun using these new technologies in weather forecasting offices,

nowcasting is becoming a reality.

Climate change connected with the reduction of wetlands at the source of the

Proponents of the ―nurture‖ theory, or, as they are often called, behaviorists,

claimed that our environment is more important than our biologically based instincts in

determining how we will act

A behaviorist, B

F

Sk inner, sees humans as beings whose behavior is almost

55. The speed of sound in water is roughly one mile a second

—

slower than through

land but faster than through air. The most important thing is that different layers of

ocean water can act as channels for sounds focusing them in the same way a
