Nearly a quarter century after a German boy threw a message in a bottle off a ship in the Baltic Sea, he's received an answer.
A 13­year­old Russian, Daniil Korotkikh, was walking with his parents on a beach when he saw something lying in the sand.
“I saw that bottle and it looked interesting, ” Korotkikh told The Associated Press on Tuesday.“It looked like a German beer bottle and there was a message inside.”
It said, “My name is Frank, and I'm five years old.My dad and I are travelling on a ship to Denmark.If you find this letter, please write back to me, and I will write back to you.” The letter, dated 1987, included an address in the town of Coesfeld.
The boy in the letter, Frank Uesbeck, is now 29.His parents still live at the letter's address.
The Russian boy and the German man met each other earlier this month through an Internet video link.The Russian boy said he did not believe that the bottle actually spent 24 years in the sea.He believed it had been hidden under the sand where he found it for a long time.

Students who say they never or hardly ever use dictionaries often speak English well but usually write poorly, because they make many mistakes.
The students who use dictionaries most do not learn especially well either. The ones who look up every new word do not read fast. Therefore they do not have time to read much. Those who use small two-language dictionaries have the worst problems. Their dictionaries often give only one or two words as translations of English. But one English word often has many translations in a foreign language and one foreign word has many translations in English.
The most successful students are those who use large college edition dictionaries with about 100,000 words but do not use them too often. When they are reading, these students first try to get the general idea and understand new words from the context. Then they reread and use the dictionary to look up only key words that they still do not understand. They use dictionaries more for writing. If they are not sure how to spell a word, or divide it into syllables (音节), they always use a dictionary. Also, if they think a noun might have an unusual plural form, they check these in a dictionary.
25. The writer thinks that .
A. choose a good dictionary, and you’ll be successful in learning English
B. dictionaries are not necessary to the students who learn English
C. it is very important for students to use good dictionaries properly
D. using dictionaries very often can’t help to improve writing
26. According to the passage, which of the following is wrong?
A. Dictionaries have little effect on learning to speak English.
B. Whatever new words you meet while reading, never use dictionaries.
C. Small two-language dictionaries have serious defects (缺陷).
D. Reading something for the first time, you’d better not use dictionaries.
27. When in the reading does the writer advise students to use a good dictionary?
A. At the beginning of the reading B. At the end of the reading
C. During the first reading D. After the first reading

28. This passage mainly tells us .
A. students shouldn’t use small two-language dictionaries
B. what were the defects of small two-language dictionaries
C. why students should use large college edition dictionaries
D. what dictionary students should choose and how to use it
C
“Success begins with belief and ends with doubt.”—Larina Kase
I remember reading through a book and the author was writing about being a reverse paranoid. In that particular section he mentions how he has a belief that the world he’s living in is out to give him everything he absolutely wants and desires.
There are times when I think to myself，“Wow，the world is out to get me and make me miserable.” Then I thought，why can’t I believe that the world is out to make me a better conversationalist. Then I started adapting to the belief of the reverse paranoia.
When I started talking to people，I truly believed that I was the most interesting person in the room. I believed that everything I said added value to the conversation. I believed that people stayed behind and chatted with me because they found me charismatic.
As a matter of fact, for about five months I wrote down on my bathroom mirror the following affirmation：“People love me and respect me. It is a privilege to talk to me. People find me interesting and charming and always want to get to know me better！”
I would say the affirmation after I brushed my teeth. And I would continue to say it until I felt completely great about myself. There were days that I just wouldn’t feel like saying it，because it would feel like a lie to me. But that’s the trouble，like the quote says，success ends when there’s doubt. And that’s why I continued until I had no doubt in my mind.
Then strange things happened，I noticed that people did find me more interesting，and that I gained more confidence in talking with people. I was more assertive(坚定自信的) at work. I was able to control politics and gossip at work to minimal levels，and became a much better manager，and developed better customer relations to the point that sales were up by 20% compared to the year before，on my best month sales were up by 39%，and this was a year that a recession was happening.
29．The main purpose of the author is to________.
A．explain how to be a reverse paranoid
B．share his personal experience in success
C．tell us the importance of positive thinking
D．advise us how to improve our communication skills
30．Before the author started adapting to the belief of the reverse paranoia，he used to ________.
A．believe the world would give him anything he desired
B．have a negative attitude towards life
C．have a strong belief in the world D．live a miserable life
31．Sometimes the author didn’t feel like saying his affirmation because________.
A．it didn’t work as he had expected
B．he had become enthusiastic about conversations
C．he had felt great about himself
D．it didn’t sound true to himself
32．We can infer from the last paragraph that the author________.
A．didn’t believe what had happened at work
B．didn’t get along with others at work
C．had his performance at work affected by the recession
D．made great progress due to his affirmation
D
Do you know about a series of books that say they are “for dummies”? These American self-help books have been translated into more than thirty-nine languages including Chinese, Arabic, Russian, French, German, Greek and Spanish.
“Dummy” is a word for a stupid person. The dummies books are not really for stupid people. They are designed to show people how to do something they may never have tried before, like painting a house or learning a language. The books all say in a funny way that they are for dummies, such as World History for Dummies, Rabbits for Dummies, Chinese Cooking for Dummies, and Wedding Planning for Dummies. The first such book, DOS for Dummies, was published in 1991. It helped people learn how to use the DOS operating system for computers. Since then, more than one hundred fifty million dummies books have been sold.
The website explains the idea behind the books. It says that they show that people can be taught to do anything. First they can make fun of ideas that are difficult to understand. Then they show how the information can be interesting and easy. The publishers say that the books do not provide more information than necessary. They give readers just enough information to do what they want. They say that the dummies books give the best and easiest way to do something. And the books use simple and easy language.
There are more than one thousand different dummies books. A report in New York Times says that the top-selling dummies books are those that explain technology and personal finance.
The publishers say that the best-selling dummies books are those providing information many people need — like information about diseases, education and cooking. People interested in opera, car repair and wine can also find dummies books to help them. And there are even more dummies books to come. The publishers say that they publish about two hundred new dummies books every year.

33. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A. Self-Help Books B. The Easiest, the Best
C. Books for Dummies D. New Ideas behind the Books

C. people can learn to do anything with just one copy

I am the only person who has reached senior middle school in my family. So, I am the “best educated”. But I also used to be the most 41 because I never thought about my manners.

But one day, when I was ready to go to school after lunch as usual, Dad stopped me. “Could you 44 me some time?” he asked, “just one 45 .” I looked at the time and found I didn’t have much time left. “OK, Dad, but please make it 46 .” “All right, I know you are 47 , so I will just ask you two questions.
