News that Microsoft made a ＄44.6 billion to buy Yahoo resulted in heated discussion made by many Internet users, Here are some responses;

Diane Burke of Weeks bury, Kentucky

I think it would definitely be an interesting combination. Everyone recognize the names Yahoo and Microsoft, but everyone also says, “Did you Google it?” Such a catchphrase（时髦话）is going to be hard to beat.

Shaun Carney of Laurelville, Qhio

I think the merger（合并）will provide more competitions for Google. I don’t think the merger will allow Microsoft to develop faster than Google, though. I believe the increased competition this merger brings will force Google to stay on top of its game by offering more fresh and original Internet tools and expanding on the tools it already offers.

Toni Suarez of Hacienda Heights, California

I view the merger as a necessary clement in preventing a monopolization（垄断）Perhaps it would bring better high technology innovations to e-email and help in researching and developing a better Internet.

Rick R.of Edgewater, Florida

It sounds like a disaster to me. If this were to happen, I would stop using my Yahoo e-email account because I don’t like the felling of Microsoft spying upon my business. I will sign up for Google.

Antonio Glosser of Kansas City, Missouri

Right now, Yahoo offers a lot of features and tools at no cost for all different levels of internet users. Microsoft seeks nothing but profit Undoubtedly, they’ll do nothing other than find ways to start removing Yahoo’s formerly non-priced features. Microsoft greed will ruin the great thing that Yahoo currently is.

21.How many companies are mentioned in the passage?

A.Two        B.One          C.Three         D.Fore

22.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?

A.Toni believes the Internet will have a promising future

B.Shaun’s attitude towards Google is passive

C.Rick will support Google after the merger

D.Antonio is afraid that the merger will cost Yahoo’s free feathers.

23.The passage is mainly about____

A.the strengths and weaknesses of large companies

B.the strengths of Yahoo and Microsoft

C.opinions on the merger of Yahoo and Microsoft

D.the future of Yahoo and Microsoft

     If you could have one superpower, what would it be?

But we do think that you can live a more powerful life when you devote some of your time and energy to something much larger than yourself. Find an issue you are interested in and learn more. Volunteer or, if you can, contribute a little money to a cause. Whatever you do, don’t be a bystander. Get involved. You may have the opportunity to make your biggest difference when you’re older. But why not start now?

My parents moved to Mississippi when my brother and I were small children, and we were separated from our Oklahoma grandparents by some 600 miles. This long distance allowed us to only visit our grandparents once a year, either at Christmas or during summer vacation.

Most of my classmates lived near their grandparents, and I would often hear stories of big families regularly spending time with one another, fishing at “grandpa’s” house or going over to “grandma’s”for her famous fried chicken. We were disappointed that we did not get to spend more time with our grandparents, but our love for them remained deep and strong.

We always expected a road trip to Oklahoma. We would count the days, and when the day came, the entire family would pile into our car at four o’clock in the morning. Crossing the Mississippi River into Louisiana, the scenery changed. Crossing the Red River in Oklahoma, we were in a foreign world.

 Every trip to see my grandparents can’t be without bringing delight. We jumped out of the car in their driveway to be met with bear hugs. My grandparents wanted to know everything about their grandchildren, and we would sit for hours and tell story after story. Grandma had a meal planned, and you could guess she prepared her grandsons’ favorite foods. Of course the best part of the visit was that we were able to do whatever we wanted without punishment from our grandparents. Grandma and Grandpa always had presents for us, short trips planned and lovely surprises, such as the time we got to a local restaurant and ate the world’s largest hamburger.

32．Why didn’t the family visit their grandparents often?

A. Because they seldom had a vacation.

B. Because they had a bad attitude to them.

C. Because they were all busy with their work.

D. Because they lived far away from each other.

33．When hearing his classmates’ stories, the author __________.

A.often felt deep sorrow

B.would call his grandparents

C. would admire them at heart

D.would feel sorry for his poor life

34．Whenever the author and his brother met their grandparents, they _________.

A.were full of great excitement

B. found they were in a foreign world

C.shared cooking skills with each other

D.seemed not to be familiar with each other

35．What can we infer from the author’s story?

A.Distance can’t break the bond of love.

B.Physical separation hurts the heart deeply.

C.Distance leads to the most beautiful scene.

D.Family life is filled with love and understanding.

When I was a very young children, my father created a regular practice I remember well years late. Every time he arrived home at end of the day ,we'd greet her at the door.

Dear William，

Recently, I have heard that you feel stressed about study. I have a good kind to offer you some advice on  how to study effectively.

First of all, learn in a relaxing way. This will remove our pressure, making study an easy job. One way to keep up our spirits is to take part in sports. Not only does exercise build up the body, but also it provides us time to relax and fresh our mind. In this way we can memorize things faster and longer. Music, too, is another effective means of refreshing and helping us concentrate better.

Last but not least, we should exchange ideas with our classmates. Through the communication we can find support, which will encourage us to overcome difficulties in our study. Keep trying, and we will make it.

I hope all these can benefit you.

                                                                        Yours,

                                                                        Li Hua
