They live in the soil，in the air，and in rivers and oceansThey grow on mountains and in cavesSome live in the ice at the north and south poles; some live where it is very hotThey are found throughout cities and in the country. They grow on other plants and animalsSome are even living on you，on your skin，hair，and inside your body，in your mouth，nose，and all through your bodyThese tiny plants and animals are called microbesThe word microbe is made from two other words：micro，meaning small，and bios，meaning lifeSo，microbe means small lifeMicrobes have been on earth for a very long timeThey may have been the first forms of life to be aliveToday there are more microbes in the world than all other living thingsPeople did not know microbes had existed（存在） longThey were too small for them to seeBut people did see many changes in their worldimportant changesAnd they did not know what caused themThey saw food that they kept too long change color and begin to smell badThey saw cuts and wounds grow red and painful and become worse. They saw old plants and leaves and trees crumble apart on the forest floor and disappear into the soilSuch changes were a natural part of the world，but people did not understand themThey did not know these changes were evidence(证据) of tiny plants and animals growing all around them.23Why couldnt people see microbes？ABecause they are too small BBecause they live inside our bodyCBecause they live far from humansDBecause they may have been the first forms of life to be alive24The underlined phrase crumble apart in the last paragraph means Agrow taller Bchange into soilCbreak into tiny pieces Dbecome colorful and energetic25Choose the answer that completes the web belowEvidence thatmicrobes existCuts and woundsget red and painfulLeaves disappearinto soil?AMicrobes are very small BMicrobes are all around usCPeople cant see microbes DFood begins to smell badBI used to think that life in Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania, was filled with never-changing styles. I hated that everyone seemed to know everything about everyone else. Everyone seemed to enjoy talking about other people and their lives. I also didnt like the fact that people seemed very close-minded. I felt trapped. I felt like I was missing . It seemed to me that city life would be the opposite.Then I took my first trip to New York City. I couldnt wait to experience the city. However, when I arrived in the Big Apple, it wasnt at all what I had imagined. I knew it was home to thousands of people, but I hadnt had the least expectation to see so many people on the street at one time. All the streets were filled with people. I also felt a little surprised to see that everyone was in a hurry and everything moved at such a fast pace(步伐). When I took the subway for the first time, I said hello to the middle-aged woman next to me. She looked at me with dislike and didnt say a word.After just one day, I realized how important my small town is to me. Now I miss the familiar faces I see every day. I like the feeling of safety and belonging my town offers. Jim Thorpe gives me a sense of community and togetherness that the city doesnt provide. I realize just how much a simple hello does for a stranger it really can make your day a little better.My big trip showed me that my small town really has its own values in me that I didnt even know I had. I never would have known what a big place my town holds in my heart if I had not taken that trip to New York City.26. What surprised the author most in New York City?A. The gestures of greeting.B. The modern transportation.C. The modern life.D. The crowded streets.27. What made the author change his / her attitudes to his /her hometown? A. Travelling to New York City.B. The familiar faces in Jim Thorpe. C. Greeting the middle-aged woman .D. Everybody likes talking about others.28. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Love of my small townB. A sense of communityC. A pleasant trip to New York CityD. Differences between big cities and small townsCWhen US student Olivia Priedeman, 17, woke up one morning, she thought she had had a dream about making plans with a friend.But it wasnt a dream. Her phone showed that during the night, Priedeman had read a text message from her friend. She did it while she was fast asleep.Reading and sending text messages while asleep called sleep texting is an unusual sleep behaviour, similar to sleep walking. Its also a growing problem among doctors: young people can t live without their cell phones.One in three teenagers sends more than 100 text messages a day, according to the Pew Internet & American Life Project. And at least four out of five teenagers said they sleep with their phone on or near their bed.Elizabeth Dowdell, a professor at Villanova University in Pennsylvania, has studied sleep texting. She said that having a phone nearby all night is a big part of the problem. Andrew Stiehm, a sleep medicine researcher with Allina Health in Minnesota, agrees. Its possible for the part of the brain that controls skills to wake up, while the part of the brain that controls memory and judgment(判断) may be still asleep. Thats why some people can perform basic movements-such as walking, talking, texting or even driving while theyre sleeping. Some of Dowdells students said that theyre disturbed by their nighttime texting behaviour. But because sleep texting is unconscious, its a difficult habit to break. Dowdell said she knows of some students who wear socks on their hands to keep themselves from texting.Marjorie Hogan, a doctor at Hennepin County Medical Centre in Minneapolis, Minnesota, suggests keeping all electronic products outside the bedroom.29. What happened to Olivia Priedeman?A. She sleepwalked to a friends house.B. She dreamed of making plans with a friend.C. She phoned one of her friends during the night.D. She read a text message from her friend while asleep.30.What does the underlined word unconscious mean?A.无意义的 B.无意识的C.无反应的 D.无规律的31. What can we learn from the passage? A. Its easy to give up a sleep texting habit. B. One in three teenagers has a sleep texting habit. C. Sleep texting can reduce the quality of ones sleep. D. Sleep texting does more harm to ones health than sleep walking.DFace it，AndyYou sold your heart the day you put on that first pair of Jimmy ChoosThat line from the movie The Devil Wears Prada is an example showing how a shoemaker has become famous in the fashion worldJimmy Choos （Zhou Yangjie）was born in Malaysian and he is a Malaysian Chinese，born in 1961 into a family of shoemakersHe created his first pair of shoes at age 11His family couldnt pay for his schooling，so he dropped out at a young ageHe had to work with his father to support the familyBut his dream to be a fashion designer never disappeared，so he did all he could to enter an art college and finally took up a position in the fashion world through his talent and willpowerChoo graduated from a college in London and had a small workshop thereHe hit the international fashion scene when Vogue magazine described his designs in eight pages in 1988His work was immediately popular and got love and support from Diana，Princess of WalesJimmy Choo shoes are known for their very high heels（鞋跟）and pointed toesHowever，he does some flats and lowerheeled shoes for other womenChoo cofounded Jimmy Choo Ltdwith Tamara Mellon，UK Vogue editor，but left the company in 2001Jimmy Choo shops have opened around the world，so his designs are easier to get to those who want a designer shoe，and can afford his pricesChoo also has a website where shoppers can view his readytowear designsThe brand（牌子）of Jimmy Choo has been comparable to top brands，like Channel，LV，etcBut its still young and has a bright futureWe cant imagine how hard it is for Choo to stand out in the worldwide fashion!
