Dear Sunday Globe,

I’m writing to you about your article in last Sunday’s newspaper, “Cell Phones Make Life Easier.” You did an excellent job explaining the good points of cell phones. They’re ____51____ and very helpful in business. We feel safer always being able to call someone. On the other hand, you didn’t talk about their bad points ____52____. Thus, I hope you’ll let me give your readers some advice on cell phone etiquette (礼仪).

       The first point I’d like to address is loudness. When talking face to face ____53____, you wouldn’t shout. Likewise, don’t shout when you talk on your cell phone in public. In fact, the microphones in cell phones are so sensitive that you can be heard even if you speak ____54____. Furthermore, keep your ringer nice and quiet, and don’t let it ring in meetings, at the movies, etc.

       Another point that needs to be made is to ____55____ personal space. I think it is very impolite to make calls in small spaces or ____56____ rooms. This makes others uncomfortable and forces them to listen to your personal business. That’s ____57____ I use my cell phone at least three metres away from other people except in emergencies.

       Lastly, let me draw your readers’ attention to the dangers of doing two things at the same time. For example, cell phones and ____58____ are a bad combination. Pay attention to the road! Besides, cell phones can cause you to neglect good friends. Give friends who are with you your full attention. Turn off your cell phone and enjoy their company!   

Sincerely

Amber Jala

A.    Choose the best answer（根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案）:（12分）

I used to live in Kobe in Japan. On my way home on the bus every evening I used to look for an old man who often played his saxophone (萨克斯管) near the river. I couldn’t hear his music because the windows were closed on the bus but I imagined it to be loud and clear. I wanted to be like that man.

One night I went to Himeji, a city not far from Kobe. As I walked with my family along the river I saw a statue (雕像). It was a young man who looked just like me. He was wearing a cap and smiling. Around his neck was a leather strap (皮带) and in his hands was a saxophone. He was lifting the saxophone to his lips and he was just about to play. I stayed there for a long time by the statue dreaming of playing a saxophone on TV.

Two weeks later it was my birthday. Imagine my joy when I opened my present from my parents and found that it was a saxophone! I put it to my lips to play, but it wouldn’t make a sound. Then Dad told me to read the instruction book to find out what to do. After about 15 minutes the saxophone was ready to play. I raised it slowly to my lips as my family watched. But still there was no sound. I blew and blew but I couldn’t get the saxophone to play. I was almost crying when suddenly the saxophone made the most beautiful sound—loud and clear like I imagined the music of the man by the river in Kobe. I blew again, I moved my fingers on the saxophone and I made more sounds. I was happy because I was playing very interesting sounds. But I wasn’t playing music yet.

Then came the lessons. Night after night, week after week my teacher made me practice. Slowly I started to improve and at last there came the magic day when I started to play music. Now I’m in the TV studio with my saxophone strapped to my neck and my cap on my head. I’m always thinking of the man by the river in Kobe and the statue smiling at me in Himeiji. I’m a happy man.

As life-saver Christopher Walsh rescued his brother and then his sister from the water of a river, his mother shouted to him, “I’m proud of you!”

His mother Beryl sat proudly and watched last night     80     Christopher was given the ‘Child of Courage’ award by his favorite TV star.

Christopher was in the car with his mother, father, sister Rosie, 10, and brother Mac, 7, when his father drove into a metal barrier.

The family’s car fell down a hill into the river,     81     and landed with its wheels up.

Christopher, then 12, swam through a broken window and got out into the fresh air. Then he saw the rest of his family were still in the car—in the water.

He took a big     82     and swam back to save first Mac, and then Rosie. Christopher said, “I didn’t think about it and only knew I had to get them out. I was ____83    , but it was all happening so fast, and I didn’t really think about the danger.”

Christopher freed Mac to a safe place and then swam back to get non-swimmer Rosie, who was under the cold, cloudy water, in the car.

Christopher had to feel for her seatbelt because he could see     84____. He took the seatbelt off her, then went up for air. Finally he went back to pull her out of the car.

Beryl said: “When I got to the side and looked back, I thought Christopher and Rosie had gone. I thought they were     85    . Then I saw him come up out of the water like a dolphin, and I could see he had Rosie. I shouted across the river, ‘I’m so proud of you!”

Christopher’s father was badly hurt in the accident and was taken to a nearby hospital.

C. Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words（在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通顺，每空格限填一词，首字母已给）:（14分）

     I really like reading and writing short stories. These stories are usually about 6 to 20 pages long which f    86      on an interesting person, a problem which the person had, and what happened when the person tried to solve the problem. All societies seem to have an oral storytelling tradition in which people met t    87      to tell each other short stories, and in which parents told their children stories at bedtime. This was certainly true in England, in India, in Kenya, in Mexico and in Japan. Was it true in China too? In many countries, oral storytelling is still important, but in most countries now, stories are written down and p    88      in books. My favorite collection of short stories is a book called The Story Giant by Brian Patten in which a giant knows all the stories in the world e    89     one. If he doesn’t find the last story he’ll die. In the book he gets four children from different parts of the world to tell him stories in the hope that he will find the last story so he can stay a    90      and pass the world’s stories on forever. Do you think he finds the last story?

     I also like reading novels. One of my favourite novels is called Life of Pi. It is written by a Canadian called Yann Martel, and is about an Indian boy who spends a long time at sea after a shipwreck (海难) a    91____ with nobody but a tiger. What about you? Do you have a favourite novel?

     Not many people read plays these days, but many people still enjoy watching them at the theatre or on television. Perhaps the l    92      popular form of literature (文学) is poetry. This is because many poems are very difficult to understand, and often seem to be written and read by very clever people. I wish I could write poems which anybody can understand.

From:	David Sanderson
To:	Karen Worth
CC:	_______________
Subject:	Come to a party!
Hi Karen, As you probably know, it’s my sister Suzie’s 16th birthday in a couple of weeks. We’re planning on throwing a surprise party for her. Julie’s going to pick her up from school as usual on Friday but she’s not taking her home. She’s bringing her to the Palace Hotel in the town centre, the big modern one near the station. We’re having a meal there and we’ve also hired the ballroom for a party in the evening. Can you come? I hope you’re going to sing for us at the karaoke! All her friends from school are coming and quite a few of the people from our village. Of course, Mum and Dad are coming up from England and I’ve even managed to persuade our other sister, Marie, to come over from Australia. She’s bringing her kids with her, too. They’re all staying with us in our house. Julie’s making a special cake. She says she’s going to make sure I don’t eat it all before the party. I don’t know what she means. After the party we’re going to have another one on Saturday! Well, not really a party. We’re inviting the family and close friends (that includes you) for a meal at the house. If the weather is nice, we’d like to have a barbecue in the garden but we haven’t decided yet. Julie’s going to make another cake and she says she’s going to hide it. I’m not sure if she’s planning to hide it from Suzie or from me. I do like cakes. Anyway we hope to make it a really special weekend for Suzie. On Sunday we’re all going for a walk in the country. You know how she loves walking and we’re all going to need a bit of exercise after all that lovely food. We’re hoping to go up to the lake. Marie said she wanted her kids to feed the ducks just like Suzie and she did when they were very young. I’m sure Suzie will love that too. Anyway, it would be great if you could come over for the weekend. We would all love to see you. Let me know as soon as you can. Best, David

Do you like playing Angry Birds games? Then there is good news for people who love Angry Birds, because there will be many Angry Birds-themed parks around the world.

The first Angry Birds-themed Park opened to the public on April 28, 2012, in Finland. Another one will also be built in this country in the near future, while several others are expected to open in the UK and other countries. However, the places and time of the British parks have not been decided yet.

Peter, a marketing officer, says, “We want to bring the digital world and the physical world together in a way that’s never been seen before. Angry Birds is popular with people of all ages, so the parks will be made to be interesting places for everyone around the world,”

In the parks, people can play many kinds of games. Familiar characters and colors from the game are used in the park equipment. There is also an Angry Birds game that can be played outdoors in the park.

And there is also good news for the Chinese. Shanghai will have such parks in the near future.

IV. Listen to the passage and complete the following sentences（听短文，完成下列内容。每空格限填一词）：（共7分）

As every parent knows, if you have children, you worry about them all the time. However, it seems that these days we’re worrying about our kids a lot more than we used to. Are we trying to protect our children too much and will this cause problems in later life?

Kids in Britain used to walk to school every day in the past, but now parents don’t let their children go out on their own in case something bad happens to them. If children stay indoors all the time, they will become weak. This means they will have health problems in later life.

The danger of letting your kids go out by themselves is smaller than you might think. The media makes parents worry about children’s safety. But children are safer now than they have ever been. If parents want their kids to grow up healthy, they shouldn’t protect them so much. Children need to make decisions themselves.

Over 27% of British children are now overweight, partly because they spend too much of their free time playing computer games and watching TV. But if kids never go outside, they can’t learn to look after themselves in the real world.

So far, we can learn that if you want happy and healthy kids, give them back their freedom.
