I'll never forget driving away from my village in war-torn Vietnam. I was five and my mum, Can, told me and my brother Tam we were going on holiday, but as she hugged us goodbye, she began to sob so much her whole body was shaking. I gripped my little brother's hand as I watched the tiny village grow smaller in the rear view window. Like many Vietnamese children, we were adopted by an Australian family.
It was a scary, lonely and confusing time, and I missed my birth family horribly. "When am I going home? " I'd ask again and again in Vietnamese, but no one would answer me because they didn't understand. I'd ask about my birth mother so often that my new parents told me she had died. I cried myself to sleep every night until I was eight or nine. My adoptive family were dysfunctional and home life was tough．
At 15, my adoptive mother died．After that, I was going through my adoptive father's filing cabinet（橱柜）and I found an old letter, with a Vietnamese postmark. I felt delighted as I realized it was from my birth mum. Straight away, I wrote a long letter to the address she had given, explaining who I was and asking if Can was alive．
Soon after, I got a simple fax back, saying, "Mother still alive, very happy to hear from you．" My heart soared as I read her words. For the next few years, I exchanged letters with her and was thrilled to finally have contact with her. I was so grateful for that．

Do you want to find a job that you just need to sit and sleep on a sofa? It is ridiculous, but it happens. 26-year -old Anna Cherdantseva, from the city of Ufa, is a full-time sofa tester, spending up to 10 hours every day trying out new sofas for comfort and safety．
Last month, Russian furniture giant MZ5 Group announced that it was taking application for a new position-full time sofa tester, Although all new products are tested in a specialized laboratory, management decided that in order to better meet the needs of consumers it needed some feedback on real -life use of its sofas. In just a few days, MZ5 received over 5,000 job applications from people eager to spend most of their time sitting and lying on sofas."
"We were selecting candidates in several stages, " MZ5 Group spokesperson Anastasia Russkih said, "Initially we checked their resumes（简历）, and then we let them tell us why they wanted the job." Eventually, the furniture company shortlisted just 7 candidates, among whom Anna Cherdantseva, a 26-year-old marketing expert, proved to be the most suitable for the job.
"I felt extreme competition, and it was a real fight for my dream job," Anna said after getting selected. "I have a lot of ideas for improving the sofas, but I would prefer not to talk about them for now. I believe it will all work out between me and the sofas."
Despite describing herself as an active person, Cherdantseva says that spending about 10hours a day sitting on sofas doesn't sound bad at all. "Of course I will spend a lot of time on new sofas. The more time I spend on them, the better it will be for my work," she told reporters．
Anna Cherdantseva is currently on a three month probation （试用期）at MZ5, but the company claims that as long as she proves to be up to the task, they plan on offering her a permanent（长期的） position as a sofa tester. The young woman will receive a monthly salary of 56, 000 rubles （ 1,000）for the first three months. It's not so bad about the job.
28. Why did MZ5 Group want a sofa tester？
A． Because its products need to be tested．
B． Because it wants to save money by doing that．
C． Because Anna Cherdantseva applied for the job．
D． Because it wants to satisfy its consumers better．
29. What does the underlined word "feedback" in Paragraph 2 mean ？
A． Response．
B． Consumers．
C． Praise．
D． Products．
30. What docs Anna Cherdantseva think of getting the job？
A． It was very easy．
B． It was controversial（有争议的）．
C． It was challenging．
D． It was interesting．
31. What can be inferred from the text？
A． The company found it difficult to find suitable employees．
B． Anna Cherdantseva has the chance to work steadily for MZ5．
C． The company doesn't give Anna Cherdantseva a good salary now．
D． Anna Cherdantseva got the job because of her similar work experience．
D
Some colors people see late at night could cause signs of clinical（临床的）depression（沮丧）. That was the finding of a study that builds on earlier study findings. They show that individuals（个人） who live or work in low levels of light overnight（整夜） can develop clinical depression. Doctors use the word "clinical depression" to describe severe form of depression. Signs may include loss of interest or pleasure in most activities, low energy levels and thoughts of death or suicide．
In the new study, American investigators designed an experiment that exposed hamsters（仓鼠）to different colors. The researchers chose hamsters because they are nocturnal, which means they sleep during the day and are active at night．
The animals were separated into four groups. One group of hamsters was kept in the dark during their night-time period. Another group was placed in front of a blue light, a third group slept in front of a white light, while a fourth was put in front of a red light．
After four weeks, the researchers noted how much sugary water the hamsters drank. They found that the most depressed animals drank the least amount of water．
Randy Nelson heads the Department of Neuroscience at Ohio State University. He says animals that slept in blue and white light appeared to be the most depressed. "What we saw is that these animals didn't show any sleep uneasiness（不安） at all but they did mess up biological clock genes and they did show depressive sign while if they were in the dim（微弱）red light， they did not．"
Randy Nelson notes that photosensitive（感光）cells in the eyes have little to do with eyesight. He says these cells send signals to the area of the brain that controls what has been called the natural sleep-wake cycle．
He says there's a lot of blue in white light. This explains why the blue light and white light hamsters appear to be more depressed than the hamsters seeing red light or darkness．
32. Researchers use hamsters in the experiment because ．
A．they are similar to humans in dealing with colors
B．they are easy to observe and study
C．they are sensitive to colors like human beings
D．they are active at night and sleep during the day
33. What sign shows that the hamsters are being depressed?
A．They drink less sugary water．
B．They don't sleep well．
C．Their eyesight becomes worse．
D．Their energy level becomes low．
34. tends to cause hamsters to be depressed．
A．Dim light
B．Red light
C．Blue light
D．Darkness
35. What can help people who work late at night to avoid being depressed?
A．Not being exposed to dim red light when using computers．
B．Equipping their computer screens to put it more in the reddish light．
C．Living or working in low levels of light overnight．
D．Going to see doctors of clinical depression regularly for help．

Text 6
W: Excuse me. I was wondering if you have any idea who owns that car. I've noticed it's been parked illegally with its windows open for the last two days. I'm thinking about calling the police.
M: No, I don't know anything about that car. I agree with you that it is kind of strange for it to be sitting there like that, though.
Text 7
W: Can you give me something for an upset stomach, please? I'm on holiday, and I think it's the change of water.

Text 10
W: When I was younger I felt I ought to do all the cleaning, shopping and ironing myself, but now I don't. I have a pressured but well-paid job, so I can pay someone else to do these chores(家务) so that I'm free to do the things I enjoy, like cooking. I have a cleaner who comes three mornings a week and she also does the ironing.
Coming home to a clean kitchen is wonderful, better than any facial or massage(按摩) treatment, and well worth the money. Recently, I decided to cut out my weekly supermarket visit too, and now have organic food delivered. I use local shops for other groceries, so I never have to go to the supermarket at all now. Although I like shopping for clothes, having my house cleaned is more important to me.

语法填空
【解答】61．its． 考查代词．庞培因为它的体育场、剧场、商店和饭馆而出名．表示"它的……"，所以填its．
62．lay． 考查时态．由Once， Pompeii was a busy city of 22，000 people． 可判断出是发生在过去的事情，所以用一般过去时，填lay．
63．centuries． 考查名词单复数．维苏威火山几个世纪都没有喷发．"几个世纪"是复数意义，用名词复数，所以填centuries．
64． safety．考查固定短语．be in safety安全， 是固定短语，所以填safety．
65．and． 考查连词．The entire top of the mountain exploded和a huge black cloud rose into the air． 这两个句子是并列关系，所以填and．
66． was buried． 考查语态．Pompeii与bury之间是被动关系，用被动语态，且表示发生在过去的事情，所以用一般过去时的被动语态，填was buried．
67．named． 考查非谓语动词．scientist 与name之间是被动关系，所以用过去分词作定语，填named．
68．Slowly． 考查副词．and连接并列结构，carefully是副词，所以这里也需要用一个副词，填Slowly．
69． with．考查介词．那里有一个拥有20，000座位的体育场．所以填with．
70． which． 考查定语从句．___70___ tell us a great deal about the people who lived in Pompeii． 是一个非限制性定语从句，关系词在从句中作主语，指代整个主句内容，所以填which．


改错
1．arises改为arise 考查主谓一致．主语some hot topics是复数形式．谓语动词也应用复数形式．
2．including改为included 考查动词语态．lucky money与include之间是动宾关系，要用被动语态，且表示的是一般事实，要用一般现在时的被动语态．
3．加been 考查动词语态． survey与make之间是动宾关系，要用被动语态，根据句中时间状语these days，要用现在完成时的被动语态．
4．custom改为customs 考查名词复数．one of意为"…之一"，后接可数名词复数形式．
5．more改为most 考查形容词最高级．定冠词the后接形容词最高级，因attractive是多音节形容词，其前加most构成最高级．
6．it改为which 考查定语从句．分析句子结构可知这是一个定语从句，先行词是前面整个句子，在从句中作主语，用关系代词which．
7．bad改为badly 考查副词．think是动词，要用副词修饰．
8．grown改为growing 考查动词语态．此处grow是连系动词，没有被动语态，用现在进行时态．
9．the去掉 考查固定搭配．in power意为"当权的，在朝的"，固定搭配．
10．you改为we 考查代词．主句中的we与从句中的we一致，表示泛指．

作文

Dear Jack,
How is everything going? First of all, I would like to convey my gratitude for your help and kindness during my stay in London .
Knowing that you show a great interest in Chinese culture, especially National Day, I would love to introduce it to you. National Day, one of the most significant festivals in China, falls on October 1st every year. So far, it has been 70 years since the PRC was founded. On October 1st this year, there were various celebrations such as a grand military parade and magnificent fireworks display in Beijing to mark/ commemorate the 70th anniversary of the founding of the PRC. People all over the country were very excited and proud to celebrate the day together.
Welcome to China and you will surely have an unforgettable experience if you come to China.(Lastly, I’d like to extend an invitation to you to come to China and have an unusual experience .)
Best wishes.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
