A
One dark, windy night, a drunk (醉鬼) was making his way home after the bar was closed. He got dead drunk and walked through a graveyard (墓地) instead of his usual way home.
The wind was strong and he thought he could hear a voice calling his name. Suddenly, the ground opened up in front of him, and he fell down, down into an open grave! He could hear the voice more clearly now, calling him. He thought it was the devil (魔鬼) coming for him.
The hole was very deep and the inside was black. His eyes became used to the darkness after a moment, and he saw something sitting in the darkness with him. It called his name, and he moved quickly in fear, trying to climb out of the hole. Then it spoke, “You can’t get out!”
The drunk gave a shout of terrible fear and jumped up more than six feet. He managed to catch the edge of the hole with his hands, climbed out, and ran for home as fast as he could.
Inside the open grave, his neighbor Charlie felt very sad. He had fallen into the hole a few minutes before his neighbor. He had thought that they might be able to help each other climb out. Now he was going to have to wait until the next morning and ask someone to bring him a ladder.

Growing up in Philadelphia, Lieberman started cooking with his stay-at-home dad when he was seven. His food-loving family had two kitchens, and he quickly learned what was the best way to bake his cakes. Lieberman improved his kitchen skills greatly during a year abroad before college, learning from a cook in Italy and studying local specialties(特色菜) in Germany, Spain, and France.
At Yale, he was known for throwing dinner parties, single-handedly frying and baking while mixing drinks for dozens of friends. Just for fun, he and some friends decided to tape a show named campus cuisine about his cooking. Lieberman was a real college student showing his classmates how to do things like making drinks out of dining-hall fruit. That helped the show become very popular among the students. They would stop Lieberman after classes to ask for his advice on cooking. Tapes of the show were passed around, with which his name went beyond the school and finally to the Food Network.
Food Network producer Flay hopes the young cook will find a place on the network television. He says Lieberman’s charisma is key. “Food TV isn’t about food anymore,” says Flay. “It’s about your personality and finding a way to keep people’s eyeballs on your show.”
But Lieberman isn’t putting all his eggs in one basket. After taping the first season of the new show, Lieberman was back in his own small kitchen preparing sandwiches. An airline company was looking for someone to come up with a tasteful, inexpensive and easy- to-make menu to serve on its flights. Lieberman got the job.
24. We can learn from the text that Lieberman’s family_______.
A. have relatives in Europe B. often hold parties
C. love cooking at home D. own a restaurant
25. The Food Network got to know Lieberman_________
A. at one of his parities B. from his teachers
C. through his taped show D. on a television program
26. What does the word “charisma” underlined in the text refer to?
A. A way to show one’s achievement. B. A natural ability to attract others.
C. Lieberman’s after-class interest. D. Lieberman’s fine cooking skill.
27. What can we learn about Lieberman from the text?
A. He is friendly and active. B. He is clever but lonely.
C. He enjoys traveling around. D. He often changes his menus.
C
The Internet has become part of teenagers’ life.
A news report on 3,375 students aged from 10 to 18 in seven Chinese cities found that 38 per cent of them believe they use the Internet often.
While most of them get useful information and use the Internet to help in their studies, some are not using it in a good way. Many are playing online games too much. A few even visit Web sites they should not look at. A middle school teacher from Beijing warns that bad things can happen if young people spend too much time on the Internet. She had a student who used to be good at school. But then he started visiting sex Web sites. He went mad, cheated a girl and was taken away by the police.
In order to help young people use the Internet in a good way, a textbook on good Internet behavior has started to be used in some Shanghai middle schools this term. The book uses real examples to teach students all about good ways of using the Internet. The book gives useful advice such as it's good to read news or find helpful information to study.
Some students also make online friends. But if you are meeting a friend offline, make sure your parents know. Teachers and parents all think the book is a very good idea. This teacher said the book will be a guide for teens using the Internet. She believes it will keep students away from bad sites. “Many students are using the Internet without guidance from their parents,” she said. “The book will teach students how to be a good person in the online world.”
28. The third paragraph mainly tells us that ________.
A. some students visit sex Web sites
B. all students in Beijing use the Internet to help their school work
C. a teacher in Beijing is worried about her students
D. some students are not using the Internet correctly

C. read the textbook carefully
D. only read news on the Internet
30. The textbook mainly tells us ________.
A. why we should use the Internet B. not to visit sex Web sites
C. how to use the Internet correctly D. how to get help from others
31. From this passage we know that ________.
A. more and more students have given up visiting bad Web sites
B. schools and teacher begin to pay attention to students’ use of the Internet
C. no more homework will be given in Shanghai
D. less and less information can be found on line

Yoga(瑜伽) is an ancient practice that helps create a sense of union in body, mind, and spirit. It brings us balance. After a long time of practice yoga, you no longer just practice it—you love it.
Yoga becomes part of your physical life. Your body grows stronger, more toned(有弹性的), and more flexible as you move from one pose to another. I spent a week in Mexico at a yoga retreat, and it was the first vacation on which I lost weight. "Rather than building muscles(肌肉), yoga builds muscle tone," says Shakta Kaur Khalsa, author of KISS Guide to Yoga. "Because yoga helps keep a balanced metabolism(新陈代谢), and it also helps to control weight. Additionally, yoga stretches(拉伸) muscles lengthwise, causing fat around the cells disappear, thus losing weight."
I do yoga poses throughout the day. After hours at my computer, I stretch my stiff shoulders and arms. When I need an increase in energy, I do energizing poses. When I am feeling tired at the end of the day, I do restorative(恢复体力的) poses.
Yoga becomes part of your mental life. Yoga teaches you to focus on breathing while you hold the poses. This attention to breath is calming; it dissolves(使消除) stress and anxiety(焦虑). I use yogic breathing on the tennis court, in the dentist's chair, and when I'm stuck in traffic.
You should always leave a yoga practice feeling energized, but not tired. If you feel tired after yoga, it means you spent the time "fighting" yourself, trying to force yourself into poses. In yoga, you “surrender”(屈服) to the poses by letting go of (释放) the tension(紧张).
32. According to the second paragraph, yoga can help people  .
A. grow tall B. make friends C. be flexible in thinking D. lose weight
33. Why does a person feel tired after yoga?
A. Because when practicing yoga, people will consume a lot of energy.
B. Because he or she surrenders to the poses by letting go of the tension.
C. Because yoga doesn't benefit all the people.
D. Because he or she doesn't do yoga poses naturally.
34. What would be the best title for this passage?
A. What's Yoga? B. How do I do Yoga Poses?
C. The Benefits of Yoga D. The Varieties of Yoga
35. What will be talked about if this passage continues?
A. Yoga is becoming part of your spiritual life. B. The disadvantages of yoga.
C. Yoga is becoming popular all over the world. D. Encouraging people to do yoga.
