Once upon a time, two brothers who lived on neighboring farms fell into conflict (冲突). It was the first serious one between them in 40 years of farming peacefully side by side. In the end, they fell apart. One morning, a man with a carpenter's toolbox came for some work. The elder brother said, “I just have a job for you. Look at the farm across the creek (河沟). My younger brother lives there. It was he who used his bulldozer (推土机) to dig the creek last week to spite (刁难) me. So I want you to build me a fence, an 8foothigh fence, in order not to see his place any more.” The carpenter smiled and said, “I see. I'll try to do a job that satisfies you.” Then the elder brother went downtown. At sunset when the farmer returned, the carpenter had just finished his job. The farmer's eyes opened wide! To his surprise, there was no fence there at all! Instead, there was a bridge stretching from one side of the creek to the other! A fine piece of work! He saw his younger brother coming to him with the hands outstretching. The brothers stood at each end of the bridge, and then they met in the middle, taking each other's hands. They turned to see the carpenter lift his toolbox on his shoulder. “No, wait! Stay a few days. I've a lot of other work for you，” said the elder brother. “I'd love to stay on，” the carpenter said, “but I have so many more bridges to build.” 【1】What was the life like for the two brothers before the conflict?

A T-shirt a day has kept unemployment away for an American man who is making about $85,000 a year by selling advertising space on his shirt． Jason Sadler, 26, was once a former marketing expert from Florida. In 2008, he founded his own company, “Iwearyourshirt”, with the idea to wear a T-shirt supplied by any company and then use social media tools to develop the company . Sadler charges the “face value”of the day for his human billboard (广告牌) service. So January 1 costs $1, while December 31 costs $365. He said this may not sound like a lot, but it adds up to $66,795 a year if he sells out every day, which he did this year. He also sells monthly sponsorships(赞助) for $1,500, adding another $18,000 to his income. “I walk around, take photos, wear the shirt all day … I blog about those photos, I put them up on Twitter, I change my Facebook introduction…and then I do a Youtube video. I made about $83,000 this year,” he told Reuters Television. The average U.S income is about $615 a week or about $32,000 a year ,according to the U.S government. Sadler has already begun to plan for his year 2010. He is making services larger by hiring another person to wear a shirt a day on the west coast of the United States. 【1】What is Sadler’s “face value” of the day December 30? A.$364. B.$365. C.$615. D.$1,500. 【2】It can be inferred that Sadler didn’t advertise on ________. A.Twitter B.Facebook C.Youtube D.Reuters 【3】Jason Sadler has a new plan to ________ for the year 2010. A.employ another person to replace him B.start his business on the west coast C.stay at home on the east coast D.double the charge for the service 【4】The passage is mainly about ________ in a new way.

Life is difficult. What do you think about life? Maybe most people say that life is difficult. But life is no longer difficult once we truly understand and accept it. Most people do not fully see this truth. Instead, they complain about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy. It seems to them that their difficulties represent a special kind of suffering especially forced upon (强加于) them or their families, their class, or even their nation. What makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is a painful one. Problems, depending on their nature, cause us sadness or loneliness or regret or anger or fear. These are uncomfortable feelings, often as painful as any kind of physical pain. And since life causes an endless series of problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy. Yet, it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning. Problems are the serious test that tells success from failure. When we desire to encourage the growth of the human spirit, we encourage the human ability to solve problems, just as in school we set problems for our children to solve. It is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn. As Benjamin Franklin said, “Those things that hurt instruct.” It is for this reason that wise people learn not to fear but to welcome the pain of problems. 【1】The writer probably used just one short sentence in the first paragraph to _________. A. show his opinion B. argue with readers C. give an example D. get readers’ attention 【2】According to the passage we give school children difficult problems in order to _______. A. help them learn to deal with pain B. teach them how to respect problems C. encourage them to solve problems D. teach them to fear the pain of solving problems 【3】The saying from Benjamin Franklin “Those things that hurt instruct.” suggests that _________. A. pain teaches us important lessons B. we do not learn when we are in pain C. we do not learn from experience D. the pain of problems is not welcome 【4】The passage mainly tells us that _________. A. everybody has problems B. we become stronger by facing and solving the problems of life C. people like to complain about their problems D. life is difficult because our problems bring us pain |

Give up Smoking Ever since 1960 when it was announced that smoking was harmful to health, Americans have been reducing their use of tobacco products.

Stress comes in many ways. 【4】 Spend 30 minutes a day doing something you like such as walking on the beach or in a park, reading a good book, visiting a friend, listening to relaxing music, and watching a funny movie.
