My friend John always has something to tell me. He knows so much that 1 men have to have older and more worldly wise men to tell them, 2 , who to trust, how to care for others and how to live life 3 the fullest.
Recently, John lost his 4 Janet. For eight years she fought against cancer, but in the end her sickness had the last 5 . One day John took out a folded piece of 6 from his wallet. He had found it, so he told me, when he 7 up some drawers at home.
It was a 8 love letter Janet had written. The note could look like a school girl’s scrawls(潦草地写，乱涂) about her dream guy. 9 the letter was written by a woman who had had seven children, a woman who fought for her life and who 10 only had a few months left to live.
It was 11 a beautiful recipe for how to keep a marriage together. Janet’s 12 of her husband begins like this, “Loved me. Took care of me. Worried about me.”
“Helped me when I was ill.” The next 13 reads. After that she turned 14 the paper and added “Warmth. Humor. Kindness. Thoughtfulness.” And then she writes about the husband she has 15 with and loved most in her life. “ 16 there when I needed you.” The last words she wrote 17 all the others. I can see her for me when she added thoughtfully “Good friend.”
I stand beside John now, and cannot pretend to know how it feels to lose someone who is as

A.
From the health point of view we are living in an amazing age. We are free from many of the most dangerous diseases. A large number of once deadly illnesses can now be cured by modern medicine. It is almost certain that one day medicines will be found for the most stubborn remaining diseases. The expectation of life has increased greatly. But though the possibility of living a long and happy life is greater than ever before, every day we witness the unbelievable killing of men, women and children on the roads. Man vs the motor-car. It is a never-ending battle which man is losing. Thousands of people the world over are killed or horribly killed each year and we are quietly sitting back and letting it happen.
It has been rightly said that when a man is sitting behind a steering wheel (方向盘), his car becomes the extension of his personality. There is no doubt that the motor-car often brings out a man’s very worst qualities．People who are normally quiet and pleasant may become unrecognizable when they are behind a steering-wheel. They say, they are ill-mannered and aggressive, willful as two-year-olds and completely selfish．All their hidden angers and
disappointments seem to be brought to the surface by the act of driving.
The surprising thing is that society smiles so gently on the motorist and seems to forgive his behavior. Everything is done for his convenience. Cities are allowed to become almost uninhabitable because of heavy traffic; towns are made ugly by huge car parks; the countryside is ruined by road networks; and the deaths become nothing more than a number every year, to be easily forgotten.
It is high time a world rule was created to reduce this senseless waste of human life. With regard to driving, the laws of some countries are unbelievably lax (不严格) and even the strictest are not strict enough. A rule which was universally accepted could only have an obviously beneficial effect on the accident rate．Here are a few examples of some of the things that might be done. The driving test should be standardized and made far more difficult than it is; all the drivers should be made to take a test every three years or so; the age at which young people are allowed to drive any vehicle should be raised to at least 21; all vehicles should be put through strict tests for safety each year. Even the smallest amount of alcohol in the blood can damage a person's driving ability. Present drinking and driving laws (where they exist) should be made much stricter. Speed limits should be required on all roads. Governments should lay down safety specifications for car factories, as has been done in the USA. All advertising stressing power and performance should be banned. These measures may not sound good enough. But surely nothing should be considered as too severe if it results in reducing the number of deaths. After all, the world is for human beings, not motor-cars.
1 What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Traffic accidents are mainly caused by motorists.
B. Thousands of people the world over are killed each year. C. Only stricter traffic laws can prevent accidents.
D. The laws of some countries about driving are too lax. 2. What does the author think of society toward motorists? A. Society laughs at the motorists. B. Society forgives their rude driving. C. Victims of accidents are nothing. D. Huge car parks are built in the cities and towns.
3. What does the author mean by saying “his car becomes the extension of his personality” in Para. 2 ?
A. Driving can represent his manners. B. Driving can show the other part of his personality. C. Driving can bring out his character. D. Driving can show his hidden qualities. 4. Which of the followings is NOT mentioned as a way against traffic accidents? A. Test drivers every three years. B. Stricter driving tests. C. Build more highways. D. Raise age limit and lay down safety specifications. 5. The author’s attitude towards the present traffic situation is ________. A. unsatisfied B. positive C. appealing D. unclear B Maybe it is true that we do not know what we have got until we lose it, but it is also true that we do not know what we have been missing until it arrives.
It takes an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone. Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they will love you back. Do not expect love in return; but if it does not, be content it has grown in yours. Do not rely on one’s appearance; it can trick you. Do not rely on wealth; even that fades away. Rely on someone who makes you smile, because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.
There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them. Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.
The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past. You cannot go on well in life until you let your past failures and heartaches go off. May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trails to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy. The happiest of people do not necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. Happiness waits for those who cry, those appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives. Always put yourself in others’ shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the other person, too.
When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you are the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying. 1. In this passage, the writer wants to tell us ______.
A. what to do in our life B. where to go with other persons C. how to treat our life D. how to get on well with other persons 2. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

A. you shouldn’t do what will hurt other people B. you should put on other people’s shoes C. you should believe in other people
D. you should depend on your imagination

E-mail systems at thousands of companies and government offices around the world were attacked by a virus called “Mellissa” that disguises itself as “important message” from a friend. Even though there was a weekend warning, more than 50000 companies at about 100 places around the world have been attacked by the virus, computer experts said on Monday.
The virus began to show up last Friday and spread rapidly the next first workday by making computers send off dozens of e-mails containing the virus. Although the virus had no long-lasting damage to a computer, its effects were far-reaching.
Michael Vatis, a senior US official said military and government computers were damaged, along with thousands of the other institution’s systems.
The body of e-mail message says, “here is what you ask for---“once the user opens it, the virus digs into the user’s address book and sends out messages to the first 50 address. The reason why the virus spreads so rapidly is that you’re getting it from people you know and trust. So anyone who gets an unexpected e-mail with the “Important Message” subject line is advised not to open it and to delete it immediately.
1. The virus spreads rapidly because _________. A. it makes computers work without stop B. it carries a word “Important Message” C. it digs into the user’s address book and sends out messages to the first 50 addresses D. it attacks military and government offices.
2. The underlined word “disguises” in the first paragraph means _______. A. discover B. cover C. paint D. notice 3. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. The computer attacked by the virus won’t work properly.
B. Thousands of computers were attacked by the virus one by one. C. The “Important Message” carries important message from a friend D. Any computer with an e-mail system will be attacked by the virus. 4. Which of the following is the best title for this article? A. Stop Using Your Computers B. “Important Message” Is A Virus C. Message From Friends Contains Virus D. Virus Strikes Hard And Fast IV．任务阅读
What is waste and why does it matter?
Waste or rubbish is something that people throw away because they no longer need it or want it. Almost everything we do creates waste and as a society we are currently producing more waste than ever before. We do this at home and at work. The fact that we produce waste, and get rid of it, matters for the following reasons.
When something is thrown away we lose the natural resources, the energy and the time which have been used to make the product. The vast majority of resources that we use in manufacturing products and providing services cannot be replaced. The use of these resources cannot go on indefinitely— we would run out.
When something is thrown away, we are putting pressure on the environment's ability to cope— in terms of the additional environmental impacts associated with extracting the new resources, manufacturing and distributing the goods, and in terms of the environmental impacts associated with getting rid of our rubbish.
When something is thrown away, we are not able to see it as a resource. It is well understood that what is waste to one person may not be viewed as waste by another. A good example of this is scrap metal（金属废料）which has been recycled for many years. Increasingly people are realizing that it makes economic sense as well as environmental sense to use \away.
The process of using up the earth's natural resources to make products which we then throw away, sometimes a very short time later, is not \— in other words, it cannot continue indefinitely.
The way we consume materials will affect whether we have a sustainable society that leaves resources available for future generations to use. As consumers and producers, we are central to the concept of sustainability. We need to think about how we can get more out of less, how we can use less and throw away less and how we can do better things with our so-called \away. We need to see \ Title (1)_________ it any longer. The natural resources, the energy and the time used to make the product become (3) ________when something is thrown away. The vast majority of Important (2)_______on society resources can’t be replaced and they would be (4) ________up.

The problem with waste Waste or rubbish is what people throw away when they do not need it or want 4
