Future and Today
　　It is well known that everyone has his own dream as well as his own future. But do you know what future really is ? I have to say that future is now. That is to say we must treasure every minute now. If we want to have a bright future
we should know how important time is and use it well.
　　There is an old English saying: &Gain time
gain life.& Then what's time? Time is something that we can't see or touch
but we can feel it passing by. Time is always with us. When we are a when we play
time goes by unnoticeable. We always say &Time is money&
but time is even more precious(珍贵的)than money
because when money is spent
we can earn it back. But if time is gone away
it will never return. So
some of us even say time is priceless(无价的).
　　We should always remember: future is now. For us students
we should try our best to work hard in order to create a great future of our own. We should make the best use of every hour and be the master of today. We should do everything before us as well as possible. And never put off what can be done today till tomorrow.
　　As we all know
&Time and tide wait for no man.& If you waste today
you will regret tomorrow. So from now on
work hard. Tomorrow will be better
and your future will be brighter .Remember: &No pains
no gains.& Today's hard work is the cause of tomorrow's harvest.

任务型阅读也可称为“读后做”。完成这一题型应非常细致，应认真地到原材料中收集有用的信息，并且经过整理输出信息。因为这一题型涉及到写，应特别注意大小写及书写规范问题。它往往与生活实际挂钩，涉及天气预报、电视节目、预定门票、预定房间、预定机票、填写申请表格、发布广告、确定方位、排列顺序、电话记录等生活实例和有关日常生活话题的简短文字材料以及书、报、杂志中关于一般性话题的简短文章等。阅读内容浅显，易于把握。题目设计既不直接呈现答案，也不增添解题的弯度。任务型阅读题中的任务已不同于阅读理解题中的选择题或写作中表达自己的观点，而是在理解文字的基础上，或完成相应的信息匹配，或完成相应的图表，或完成相应的文字表达，从而能够有效地考查考生用英语做事的能力。

Chinese athlete Liu Xiang, winner of gold medal in the men’s 110m hurdles at the Athens Olympics,
published his book, I’m Liu Xiang,
recently in his hometown of Shanghai.
It seems that many people can’t help comparing Liu Xiang with
another Shanghai native, basketball giantYao Ming, who also recently
published his book, A Life in Two Worlds.
Manager Dai, the editor of the book I’m
Liu Xiang, explained the differences between the two books as he saw them. Firstly,
Yao’s book was
written mainly for Americans, while Liu’s readers well be mainly Chinese. Secondly,
A Life in Two Worlds was written in the
third person singularby an American writer who
recorded Yao Ming’s stories, I’m Liu
Xiang was written in the first person and included many articles from his
diaries. Lastly, according to Dai, Yao enjoyed the advantage of being born in a
sporty, rich family, unlike Liu, who came from a working class family and
therefore had to go through greater hardshipbefore becoming a world-known
athlete. So if you enjoy reading about mentalsuffering and physical pain,
read I’m Liu Xiang. If you want to

Gift giving is
different from culture to culture and person to person.
When giving gifts, sometimes color is important. For example, for
many Chinese people around the world, red is a lucky color, and people often
like to wrapgifts in this color. However, do
you know that in Korea,
red is a color of death? That is why you should not wrap gifts in this color if
you are giving a gift to a Korean person.
What about western countries? In western countries, the color of
wrapping paper is not really important. But color does matter when giving
flowers, especially roses. You should not give red roses to a western person
you don’t know very well because they are a symbolof love. You could give yellow
roses instead as these are a symbol of friendship. You could also send pink
roses as gifts to say thank you.
What other things should you remember when giving gifts to someone
from a different culture? Well, one thing you should keep in mind is the person’s
religion. When choosing a gift for a Muslimor Jewishfriend, you should never get
food including pork, or things made from pigskin. Another thing that you should
not get for a Muslim person is alcohol.

You will find traffic noise disappearing as soon as you arrive in Venice. So as you walk down the narrowstreets, you only have to avoid
crowds of people. About 19 million travellers visit Venice for the enjoyable environment, art and
food each year.
Seeing Venice
on foot is the best. You can walk through the city in about an hour. Look
around St. Mark’s Basilica and the Doge’s Place. But you should know walking
along the streets isn’t as easy as travelling on the city’s canals. The canals are Venice’s
“streets”. And you can enjoy the Grand Canal, the Rialto Bridge
and many wooden buildings.
Venice is fantastic. You shouldn’t miss it in your life. No matter how

What makes the world become smaller and smaller? Some inventions. It
began in the 11th century, but it has developed greatly in the last
century. Let’s take a look at the five top inventions.
Movable Type: By using Movable Type, books could be
printed cheaply and easily. Bi Sheng invented Movable Type in China in the 11th
Telephone: The inventor Alexander Graham Bell made the first telephone call in
1876. “Mr. Watson, come here. I want you.” he said to his assistant over the
phone line. And with those famous words, the world was about to get much
Airplane: The Wright brothers made the first powered flight in 1903. Air
travel has made the faraway places suddenly become a lot closer.
Satellites: The Soviet Union
sent up the world’s first satellite in 1957. This began the Space Age.
Satellites have helped scientists study the earth. Much of our knowledge of the
world has come from the information recorded by satellites.
Internet: When the Internet was created in 1969, only a few people knew about
it. But more than 650 million people in the world use it now. The Internet has
made information about anything easy to get.

The Secret of Success
1. Your best chance of success is by doing what you really want to
do. Ask yourself, “If money were not so important, what kind of work would I do
for free?” Then just do what you like to do.
2 Think about what you are going to do. You have to start somewhere
and it may be quite a real beginning. Whether you are beginning in business or
you’re dreaming to be a star, you have to start at the bottom.
3. Great ambitionis necessary. An English student
called Richard Brason opened a student magazine when he was only 16 years old. But
he didn’t stop there. He also opened a record business with many shops, and now
his company has planes, trains and cars.
4. The only people who succeed without hard work are lotterywinners. You need a “can do” attitudeand you must work step by step,
which will help you get what you really want. You are on the right way to win the
5. If you always say someone is successful, it doesn’t mean anything
to you. Learn from those who have already succeeded in something, especially
where they do the same as you want to do.

Thumbs Down to Texting
Do you have a mobile phone? Do you send text messages to your
friends and family?
Text messaging or “texting”, is becoming very popular. But,
scientists have discovered that texting can give us problems with our hands. Be
careful! Too much texting can cause swellingin our thumbs. Our thumbs were not made for pushing small buttons, over and over. Scientists call his problem RSI. We
spoke to a doctor called Harriet Wilson, who treats many sick people with RSI. She
says we need to see how much time we are spending in typing text messages. If
we are spending more than 10-15 minutes at once, we could have problems in the
As mobile phones develop, they are getting smaller with buttons
closer together. Texting with a smaller phone is worse than using a larger
phone with bigger buttons. Using a computer keyboard and playing video games
can cause the same problem. So more and more people could find themselves with
RSI. Among them, most are university students and teenagers, as they do not
know the risks of spending so much time using computers, video games and mobile
phones. If we don’t do something about this, too many young people could grow
up in terrible pain.
1. What is becoming very popular now?
2. Does the word “once” mean “one time” in the second passage?
3. What kind of people are easier to have the problem of RSI?
4. What can also cause RSI except texting?
5. Which is easier to cause the problem of RSI, using smaller mobile
phones or larger ones?
Most people can think of a sport they would love to see in Olympics.
But they often don’t realize how hard it is to add a sport to the Olympics. A
sport needs to be well-organized and popular before the International Olympic
Committee(IOC) will consider it. An international federation must governthe sport by making rules and making sure athletes meet Olympic standards. What’s more, men from at least 75 counties and women from at least
40 must play the sport.
However, even meeting those conditions isn’t enough. The IOC always
tries to keep the number of athletes at about 40,000 for each Olympic. Since
most modern Olympics already included so many athletes, introducing a new sport
often means cutting other events.
The country that hosts the games is allowed to suggest what new
sports should be included. While new sports are added to the Olympics, most of
them will simply become events in another sports meeting. In Beijing, open
water swimming will become part of swimming, while women’s steeplechasewill be added to athletics.

What is your favorite cartoon? It may be difficult for you to
decide. But for pianist Lang Lang, Tom
and Jerry is the best one.
When Lang Lang was two years old, he saw Tom playing the piano. This
was his first time to enjoy western music and this experience encouraged him to
learn to play the piano.
His talent at the keyboard has taken him from Shenyang to the world.
Lang Lang became a good piano student at three. Ever since, the boy
has been doing better and better. In 1997, the 15-year-old boy studied at a
famous American music college.
Lang Lang’s performances are energetic. He is well-known for making
facial s and moving around while playing the piano.
The road to success has never been easy. Lang Lang’s father stopped
his job to look after him, while his mother stayed in Shenyang to make money. But Lang Lang
considers himself lucky and believes he should give something back. He has
helped the children in poor areas a lot.

CCTV held a charity show in May to raise money for the
earthquake-hit areas in Sichuan.
Many famous stars took part in the show. ⑴They didn’t ask for any pay, they all did it for free. There were a lot of performances like singing, dancing and
cross-talks. ⑵The audience were so excited
that they clapped their hands all the time. Almost
everyone was moved to cry by a lot of sad or moving stories. During the
performances, they donated money to the disaster areas. The show was so
successful.
Besides that, many other stars are doing things for disaster areas
in many ways. Kungfu star Jackie Chan and the foundation named Hong Kong

consolation to the people in the disaster areas and encouraged them to hold on
because “People all the country are with you.” Xiao Ke, a songwriter, wrote and
recorded a song “I Know You Will Come” to warm the hearts of the people in
despair. CCTV’s top show “The Same Song” also held a special charity to help
Both the ticket money and
the donated money will be sent to the disaster areas. As the Chinese saying goes ⑶“One in
trouble, all to help.” I believe that the whole world will become better if
everyone of us gives charity to others.

In today’s world many people seem to be hungry for money. Money does
have its most useful effect on the poor. But even if a person has already got
plenty of money, &&&&&&&&.
If money were everything, all millionaires would have real love,
true friendship, good health and a long life. However, this is not always
Since the beginning of time no three words have ever invited more
pleasure than “I love you”. But can love be bought? I’m afraid not. Love means
to give, not to take. To every person, health and a long life are probably the
best things. Well, can health and a long life be bought with money? The answer
is “No”.
Of all the longest living people in the world, few of them are
millionaires. True friendship can’t be bought,
either. In a word, where money is dreamed too much, it can cause brothers to
quarrel, marriage to end, lovers to hate, and strangers to fight. No matter how
much money you have, it is still not enough to make a happy person if you have
no one to laugh with, no one to cry for.
& It seems that a lot of
people want money very much now.

New rulers and behavior
standardsfor
middle school students came out in March. ①Who are the most excellent students? Middle school uses a new way to
decide them. The best students won’t only have high
marks. They will also be kids who don’t dyetheir hair, smoke or drink. The
following are some of the new rules.
Tell the truth. Have you ever copied someone else’s work on an exam?
Don’t do it again. That’s not something an honest student should do. If you
have played computer games for two hours in your room, don’t tell your parents
you have done your homework.
Do more at school. ②Good students love animals
and care for others. April is Bird-Loving Month in China. Is your
school doing anything to celebrate? You should join! That way, you can learn more
about animals and how to protect them. When more people work together, it makes
it more fun for everyone.
Be open to new ideas. Have you ever thought that people could live
on the moon? Maybe you discover Earth someday. Don’t look down on new ideas. Everyone’s
ideas are important. You should welcome them, because new ideas make life
better for everyone.
the Internet carefully. Try not to look at Web pages that are bad for you. You can use the Web for homework. Can’t you find good Web sites for
children? Here are some: .

A. I’m very glad to write to you. I’m a student from Jiaxing, Zhenjiang, China.
I know you’re the writer of our English textbook. I’ve got many problems in
English learning.
B. Second, when I read English, I meet many new words. So I can’t
understand the passage.
C. The above problems trouble me a lot. What should I do?
D. First, in English class I can’t follow my teacher because I’m not
good at listening.
Parents are the closest people to you in the world. They love you
just because you are you. And they would do anything for you.
Like a lot of middle school students, Zhang Yu has a problem. She
and her parents don’t get on well. “I really want to be my daddy’s little girl.
But it feels like he just doesn’t understand. He talks at me and doesn’t
listen.”said Zhang, a junior 3 student in Taiyuan,
Do you and your parents also have problems?
Well, why don’t you all take a walk and have a talk on Saturday? It’s
the International Day of Families. On May 15, people around the world give
thanks for good things about their families and work on family problems.
A study last year showed that 1,500 Beijing families had the same problem as
Zhang’s family: The children, 12 to 15 years old, didn’t like talking with
their parents much. They weren’t happy at home. Of course, lots of kids feel
that way. But you and your parents will be much happier if you can be friends.
Here are some ways to have a good talk with them
Find a good time to talk, for example, when you’re eating dinner,
going out for a walk or watching TV.
Tell them something you’re interested in, or ask them about their
lives when they were young. They love to talk about it.
Listen to them carefully and look them in the eye.
Be honest. Your parents will trust you more. And a trusting family
is a happy family.

Now I’d like to
say something about Larry. Well, Larry is an inventor. His job is to invent new
things. He works when he’s got an idea. His workroom is in his house, so he can
work whenever he wants to. Sometimes he wor sometimes he
doesn’t work for days. Larry usually gets up at about 5 o’clock. He makes some tea, and starts work
at 6. He drinks tea all day, but usually he doesn’t eat anything until the
evening. First, Larry cleans his workroom and turns on the answerphone because
he can’t talk to people when he’s got an idea. Then he starts to work. He
usually has a rest after two or three hours, but he doesn’t leave the workroom.
He does something different to help him relax. Sometimes he does some
exercises, and at other times, he listens to music. He usually stops work at
about 9 o’clock in the
evening. He thinks about his work most of the time, even when he’s out. He’s
interested in what’s around him and he likes looking for new ideas and new
problems to deal with. That’s Larry.

Main idea of the passage
5. &&&&&&&
Foreign language speaking population in Beijing has reached 4.87
million by the end of 2006, according to the source from the regular press conferenceof the Beijing Olympic Games
organizers. Liu Yang, the office director of the organizing committee of
Beijing Speaks Foreign Languages Program, said that Beijing would try very hard to lift that
number to over 5 million before the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.
Liu said Beijing will use a large amount of money to train the
foreign language ability of service business staff, government clerks and
ordinary citizens, in order to hold an Olympic with good communicating atmosphere. Beijing
will find volunteers and invite experts and use mass media to provide learning
sources for the people.
However, much is to be done to improve the popularity of foreign
languages among blue-collar workers like taxi cab drivers. A taxi driver told
chinadaily. com. cn that he had no time to learn English for he had to make
money first. He also said he could take the foreign passengers to their destinationsthrough the map or note that
they showed to him.
The standardizationof English public signs is also
underway to provide foreign guests an easy public atmosphere. According to Liu,
6,530 public signs throughout the downtown area have been standardized and
those on all the major public facilitiesincluding tour sites,
commercial service, hospitals and sporting equipment will be completed by the
end of this year.
