BEIJING, Aug.18 (Xinhua) -- Most Chinese people consider drunk driving impossible to stop in the country while the current law(法律) too light for drunk drivers, a survey has found. 
According to the survey done by the China Youth Daily, more than 96% of the 1,792 respondents(被告) said people around them had driven after drinking, while more than 81% complained the current penalty was too light, the paper reported Tuesday. Now offenders(違規者) face a three-to-six month suspension(吊銷)of their driving licenses and detention(拘留) for up to 15 days in serious cases.
Drunk driving has attracted wide public attention in China after several serious accidents in recent months. On Aug. 4, a drunk driver in Hangzhou killed a 16-year-old girl. Two days later, another drunk driver in Shanghai killed a four-year-old boy and injured three others.
Drunk driving is regarded as just traffic violation if no accidents result, according to the Chinese law. But some people have called for regarding it as a crime no matter whether it results in serious accidents. “If it’s a crime and anyone caught will go to jail(監獄), a lot more people will be afraid of risking it,” said Wang Mingliang, a professor at the Fudan University. However, other people disagreed.
In 2008, China’s alcohol（酒精）-related traffic accidents led to 18,371 deaths, 76,230 injuries, and a property(財產) loss of 250 million yuan ($36.7 million), according to official figures.

Sports, drama, and all kinds of organizations keep students busy during high school. Where do they get the money to do these things? Not everyone gets it from parents. Most have to work for at least some of the money to pay for these activities. Some adults question if high school students should have jobs. I say yes, they undoubtedly should.
Some people worry that teens with after-school jobs will have difficulty finding time for schoolwork. Actually, having a job helps teens make better use of their time. Many jobs take only a couple of hours on weeknights. According to an article, 86 percent of high school students have an after-school, weekend or summer job and students who work between 10 and 20 hours per week during the school year get higher grades than those who do not work at all. Instead of considering working after school a hindrance, it should be looked at as real-world education.
Other people think that work adds too much stress（壓力）, which may be somewhat true, but whether having a job or not, there is always stress. Better to learn how to deal with busy schedules（日程表）in a controlled environment like high school than to be out on your own and alone in the future, experiencing stress for the first time. I personally would be worried about the teenager who has to become independent without having any experience of working.
The biggest reason teens should work is that it is a healthy way of making money. There are many things teens need to pay for and they cannot do it if they don’t have a job. Not all parents can pay for these activities. My dad told me, “Having a job is a good way to save up for things you are going to need or want to do. You get a lot more out of things if you pay for them yourself.” The sooner kids make money, the sooner they can learn how to use money wisely. If they are not allowed to work in high school, they may have a hard time in the future. Teens should, without a doubt, be allowed to work on school nights.
【小題1】The word “hindrance” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_______”.
| A．something that encourages teens to study |
| B．something that helps teens improve study |
| C．something that prevents teens from studying |
| D．something that makes teens lose interest in study |
| A．Teens are too busy with study to work at high school. |
| B．Teens experience stress for the first time at high school. |
| C．Teens are worried about being independent in the future. |
| D．Teens who work will deal with stress better in the future. |
| A．Working makes teens get lower grades. |
| B．Working teaches teens to spend money more wisely. |
| C．Working helps teens to get on better with their parents. |
| D．Working stops teens from taking part in after-school activities. |
| A．What money means to teens. |
| B．Why teens should work after school. |
| C．Whether parents should help teens find jobs. |
| D．How teens get money for after-school activities. |

Hands play an important part in our daily life. But do you know which of your two hands you use more? Very few people use both hands equally well. Most of us are right-handed. Only about five people out of a hundred are left-handed. New-born babies can take hold of things with either of their hands, but in about two years they usually use their right hands. Scientists don't know why this happens.
Monkeys are our close relatives in the animal world. Scientists have found that monkeys like to use one of their hands more than the other, but it can be either hand. There are as many right-handed monkeys as left-handed ones. Next time you visit a zoo, watch the monkeys carefully, you will see that some of them will use their right hands and others will use their left hands. But most of the people use their right hands better and this makes life difficult for those left-handed people. We live in a right-handed world.
【小題1】 How many people among 100 people use their left hands better?
A. 5%. B. 50%. C. 95%.
【小題2】. New-born babies can use __________.

As is known to all, waste has become a more and more serious problem. We can easily see many people throw a lot of food into the garbage can. Some people spend thousands of yuan buying fashionable clothes. What do you think of them? Here are some of students’ opinions:
| Mary |
| As for me, I believe “Waste not, want not.” As we know, there are still millions of Chinese living in a poor condition. We can never afford waste. Therefore, it is no doubt that saving is still a good habit that we should not give up. I do not like the men who spend their money in a wrong way. They do not know waste is a bad thing. It can only make them happy for the time being. |
| Jacky |
| More and more people are no longer interested in the simple life style, including me. And I feel embarrassed to save the things I used. What I love is the latest fashion. In my eyes, saving is already out of style. |
| Sally |
| One of the best ways we students can do in this situation is to recycle the textbooks we are using everyday. After we've used them and are moving on to new ones, we should find ways to recycle these books instead of simply throwing them away. There are different ways to do so such as sending them to a recycling factory, reusing them for other purposes, passing them on to new students and so on. |
| Tim |
| The negative effects of waste can be shown as follows. Firstly, it makes some students ask their parents for money quite often, which is harmful to their development. If they don’t learn to support themselves, they will be “useless people” when they graduate. Secondly, it is not easy for our parents to arrange for our schooling. Last but not the least, just like what Mary said that our country is still poor. There are many people who cannot go to university and many poor people still need our help. |
| The things people spend thousands of yuan on | 【小題1】 | |
| What a good habit still is | 【小題2】 | |
| What makes Jacky feel embarrassed | 【小題3】 | |
| One of the best ways we students can do | 【小題4】 | |
| The students should depend on themselves, or they will be | 【小題5】 | |

Now scientists have discovered that the dogs behave like their masters, too. Just like children, they use a “ look and learn” ways when they go about their tasks.
Scientists at Oxford universities designed an experiment to test if the dogs have the ability to copy humans’ actions by using a simple wooden box. 10 owners showed their dogs how to open the wooden box .Sometimes they use their heads to push it and sometimes they use their hands.
10 dogs were divided into two groups---Group1 and Group2. In the first part of the test, Group1 were rewarded with a piece of meat for copying their owner’s actions. Group2 were rewarded with food for not copying and using other ways. With each dog the experiment was repeated hundreds of times. Scientists recorded the time to see which group was first to get 85% right. They found that Group1finished the task much sooner than Group2.
In the second part of the test, all the dogs were only rewarded for copying the way that their owners used. Group1 reached the 85% mark more quickly than Group2.
So the scientists draw a conclusion: “Like humans, dogs can copy actions that they see. Dogs’ imitative（仿效的）behavior is shaped more by their interactions（互動）with humans than by evolution(進化).”
Scientists said，“A dog’s behavior is influenced much like that of a child; they look and learn similar behavior. We hope that owners understand the importance of their actions and use this knowledge to set good examples and therefore have a good effect on the behavior of their pets.”
【小題1】The scientists believe dog’s imitative behavior mainly comes from______________.
| A．proper rewards | B．domestication |
| C．human-dog interactions | D．evolution |
| A．Dogs can finish their tasks quickly. | B．Dogs are interesting animals. |
| C．Masters always set good examples. | D．Dogs behave like their masters. |
| A．It took the two groups of dogs the same time to finish the required task. |
| B．The dogs that copied their masters finished the required task much sooner. |
| C．The dogs that were encouraged to copy their masters finished the task more slowly.. |
| D．The dogs that were encouraged not to copy their masters finished the task more quickly.. |
| A．a cruel man can raise a cruel dog |
| B．dogs can be influenced by anyone |
| C．dogs always behave positively |
| D．dogs are the best kind of pets |

A new survey(調查)found that 31﹪of U.S workers don’t always take all of their vacation days.

It’s Tuesday afternoon, and I’m in Rheinburg, Germany, visiting the Extra Future Store. The “store of the future” is attracting a lot of attention these days– but not for it’s prices. Instead, people are coming from all over to experience a new way to shop.
The experience is less like shopping in a supermarket and more like playing some kind of high–tech game. It starts as I enter the store and choose a shopping cart(購物車). First, I swipe my store ID card through a computer on the cart. The computer’s screen comes on, a map of the store shows, and the journey begins.
As I shop, antennas(天線) around the store send information about different specials to the computer on my cart. Attracted by one of the ads, I choose a box of cheese. I hold up the box to the computer. It displays the price and also suggests that a certain type of bread would be good with it. The map on my chart shows me where to find the bread. It’s like the store is helping me to shop.
How does the store make this kind of shopping experience possible? The answer is radio frequency identification chip (or RFID射頻識別). Each chip has a special number. Using an RFID reader on the computer, we can get information from a chip about the product(產品). RFID will help shoppers find the things in a store more quickly– products that are just right for them. In addition, people won’t have to wait in long lines to pay. The things in your cart will be read by the computer and the money will be paid by your store ID card automatically(自動地). So you can simply walk out of the store with your shopping bags.
Sounds good, right? Maybe you will experience the new shopping soon in your city.
【小題1】Why are so many people coming to the Extra Future Store?
| A．They hope to buy a new kind of computers. |
| B．They want to play some new high– tech games. |
| C．They expect to experience a new way of shopping. |
| D．They plan to learn how to use the FRID readers. |
| A．②①④③⑤ | B．①②⑤③④ | C．②①⑤③④ | D．②④①⑤③ |
| A．Carts with computers. | B．RFID readers. |
| C．Many shop assistants. | D．Good products. |
| A．The things in the shop are much cheaper. |
| B．It costs more time to find the things you need. |
| C．You will buy more things than you really need. |
| D．It’s more convenient to find the products and to pay. |

Taking away a city’s rubbish is a big job. Every day trucks come into a city to collect it. Most rubbish is made up of things we can’t eat or use. If we kept these things we would soon have a mountain of rubbish.
In some cities the rubbish is collected and taken outside of city to a dump. Often the city dump is placed where the ground is low or there is a big hole. The kitchen rubbish is broken into small pieces and sent into the sewage system. The sewage system. takes away the used water from toilets, bathtubs and other places.
To keep mice and flies away, some earth is used to cover the newly dumped rubbish. Later, grass may be planted on the rubbish-filled land. Finally, a house or a school may be built there, and then you’d never know that this had once been an old rubbish dump.
In other cities the rubbish is burnt in special places. The fire burns everything but the metal. Sometimes the metal can be used again in factories where things are made of metal.
