But for American high school seniors the experience couldnt be more different. The end of senior year is a celebration of their time in high school and involves parties, games and fun.Senioritis(高年级倦怠症) is a commonly used expression. It means seniors have a disease which makes them unable to do work. This starts in April when seniors find out whether they have been accepted to university.Unwilling to do school work, seniors have plenty of other activities to focus on. Many schools have a Senior Show, in which only seniors are allowed to perform. Some seniors sing or dance but many of them perform skits (滑稽短剧), where they make fun of their favorite teachers or their friends. For example, a group of boys may dress up and imitate（模仿） a group of their girl friends. It is all very light-hearted. The Senior Show is usually a part of Senior Week, which is a week specifically dedicated (专用的) to seniors. During this week, seniors usually get academic or athletic awards they have won over their high school careers. The seniors also vote for one of their male and female classmates who they believe is the best-looking or funniest or most involved, etc. These are then published in the yearbook.The yearbook is an important part of high school for seniors. It is usually dedicated to them and has all their pictures and some words from them in it. Then seniors go around and get it signed by their friends so they can always remember their time together.Of course during all of this time, seniors are preparing for the Senior Prom（正式舞会）, which is an important moment in American culture. It is the most important dance in a young Americans life.The end of senior year is a truly special and wonderful time for American students.

You might sell some to your neighbors and some to the local managers of the supermarket. But in either case, you are producing for the market. Your efforts are being directed by the market. If people stop buying tomatoes, you will stop producing them.If you take care of a sick person to earn money, you are producing for the market. If your father is a steel worker or a truck driver or a doctor or a grocer, he is producing goods or service for the market.When you spend your income, you are buying things from the market. You may spend money in stores, supermarkets, gas station and restaurants. Still you are buying from the market. When the local grocer hires you to drive the delivery truck, he is buying your labor in the labor market.The market may be something abstract（抽象的）. But for each person or business that is making and selling something, it is very concrete. If nobody buys your tomatoes, it wont be long before you get the message. The market is telling you something. It is telling you that you are using energies and resources in doing something the market doesnt want you to do.11Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?ASelling and Buying.BEverything you do is producing for the market.CWhat is the market?DWhat the market can do for you.12All of the following acts are producing for the market except .Aworking in a bankBattending a night school Cprinting a bookDgrowing beans for sale13You are buying from the market when you .Aborrow a book from the libraryBdrive to the seaside for a holidayClook after your childrenDdine at restaurant14The word “concrete” in the last paragraph may most probably mean .AseriousBimportantCnecessaryDreal15In what way is the market very concrete for each person or business who is making and selling something?AIt tells you what to produceBIt provides you with everything you needCIt tells you how to grow tomatoesDIt helps you save money DSHANGHAI - A musician who lost both arms in a childhood accident and plays the piano with his toes has won Chinas Got Talent (中国达人秀) performing his version of James Blunts wistful（忧郁的） love song Youre Beautiful to a packed audience at the Shanghai Stadium. All three judges on the show Sunday praised 23-year-old Liu Wei for his determination, urging him to keep on pursuing his dreams, and the Beijing native said he would try quipping, At least I have a pair of perfect legs. For winning the Chinese version of Britains Got Talent, Liu will be invited to play as a guest performer with Taiwanese singer Jolin Tsai. He also has the chance for a performing contract. Lius arms were amputated(截肢) after he suffered an electrical shock while playing hide-and-seek when he was 10. At age 18, he decided to pursue a career in music, using his feet to play the piano, much as he uses them to navigate on the computer, eat, dress and brush his teeth. One year later, he was given the chance to work with the famous Hong Kong pop star Andy Lau and they composed the song Let It Be.The jury panel（评审）of Chinas Got Talent, Shanghai stand-up（单人表演的） comedian Zhou Libo, Taiwan singer-actress Annie Yi and mainland pop composer Gao Xiaosong, all thought highly of Lius performance.While interviewed, Liu Wei said, For me, there are only 2 paths in my life - either to die as fast as possible, or to live as brilliant a life as I could. Whenever he is faced with difficulties, he always says to himself “Walk on, at least I have a pair of perfect legs.Chinas Got Talent, a weekly program shown on local channel Dragon TV, has helped draw attention to the hopes and challenges of disabled and otherwise disadvantaged Chinese. The program, which began in July, is part of British recording executive Simon Cowells Got Talent franchise(经销权), which now has versions broadcasting in more than 30 countries. 16.

There are dictionaries with American English, with British English, with idioms or slang, and even with pictures. The most popular dictionaries I have seen among many students are talking electronic dictionaries. All you have to do is type in a word in your language and you can see it and hear it in English. Thats great, right? Well, I think its great, too. but only sometimes.Bilingual electronic dictionaries are fast and easy. They can be great when you are traveling and need information quickly. But I am against electronic dictionaries and even bilingual paper dictionaries in many cases. Let me explain.When you reach an intermediate level of English, you know enough of the language to ask the meaning of certain things while using English. Translating between languages in your head takes time. You should be translating as little as possible and you should be thinking in English as much as possible. I strongly recommend that intermediate and advanced students use an English-English dictionary made especially for your understanding. For example, Longman has a good dictionary for students. Other companies do, too.I also feel that paper (book) dictionaries are better for studying than electronic dictionaries. True, they take longer to use. But, for some reason, the information you look up seems to stay in your head longer. It may be because you were forced to spell the word in your head and therefore “see it” more clearly in your mind.So what do you do if you have checked an English-English dictionary and still dont understand something? Go to your bilingual dictionary. It is useful sometimes. Just remember to try to stay in English as much as possible.21. The most popular dictionaries among students are _.A. American-English dictionariesB. dictionaries with picturesC. dictionaries that can talkD. dictionaries of idiom or slang22. According to the ideas of the author, electronic dictionaries are_.A. always great and betterB. not as great as one thinksC. will take the place of paper dictionariesD. will be more popular23. What does the author think the best way to use a dictionary in learning English?A. To take the advantage of an English-English dictionary is the best way.B. To learn more about how an English dictionary come into being.C. To learn more about American English or American idioms.D. To make full use of the advantages of all dictionaries.24. Why does the author prefer paper dictionary?A. It provides you with so much information. B. It makes you learn English better.C. It seems that you can learn English better. D. It seems that the information stays in the head longer.25. We can conclude that _.A. consulting bilingual dictionary is a better method to improve your EnglishB. learning more about American idioms is the best way to improve your EnglishC. you should make use as less as possible of English dictionary when you learn EnglishD. English dictionary is not important at all in the learning of English FDogs, like people and monkeys, seem to have a sense of fairness.In the reward experiments, Friederike Range experimented with dogs that understood the command “paw,” to place their paws in her hand. The dogs were asked to shake hands and each could see what reward the other received. When one dog got a reward and the other didnt, the unrewarded animal stopped playing. When both got a reward all was well. But the dogs didnt seem to care whether the reward was sausage or bread. And the dogs never rejected the food, something that primates had done when they thought the reward was unfair. Range said she wasnt surprised at the dogs reaction, since wolves are known to cooperate with one another and appear to be sensitive to each other. Modern dogs are descended from wolves. Next, she said, will be experiments to test how dogs and wolves work together. “Among other questions, we will investigate how differences in emotions influence cooperative abilities,” she said via e-mail.Clive Wynne, a professor in the University of Florida, isnt so sure the experiment measures the animals reaction to fairness. “What it means is individuals are responding negatively to being treated less well,” he said in a telephone interview. But the researchers didnt do a control test th
