He is a famous football player from England. But do you know that he is on the cover of Big Comics Superior? Big Comics Superior is a magazine in Japan. Football can go around the world. Year of Einstein (爱因斯坦年 ) The Year of Einstein started in Germany to remember the 50th anniversary (周年 ) of Albert Einsteins passing away and 100th anniversary of the General Theory of Relativity (广义相对论 ). Einstein was born in Germany. He lived and taught in Germany from 1914 to 1933.

Crossroads is a resource network. We take goods Hong Kong doesnt want and give them to people who badly need them. We collect those goods and give them in the welfare (福利 ) places in Hong Kong, Mainland China, elsewhere in Asia, Eastern Europe and Africa. So Crossroads is just a Crossroads between need and resource. Who do we help? The welfare agencies (机构 ) we help do not run on large budgets (预算 ). They are grass-roots (大众的 ,群众的 ) groups who have seen a need and tried to meet it. They cant get the job done without back-up, though, so our job is to help them do their work. Our warehouse is full of goods, from computers to high chairs, clothing to books, stationery to medical provision, cupboards to dining sets. They send us a list of their needs and we try to match it with what we have. How do we operate? Crossroads itself also operates on a low budget. We do not buy the goods we send. They are donated. Similarly, rather than raising money for shipping, we ask transport companies to donate their services. Nobody in our organization receives a salary. Even our full-time workers work on a voluntary basis. Those that donate goods and services: Factories Hospitals Hotels Schools Householders Transport Companies Offices Other Charities One resource that we are always in need of is people. While we receive large quantities of goods and there is never a short supply of requests for them, we are always in need of hands to help sort and prepare them for shopping. What can I do? We are always in need of people. We have a lot of different jobs. If you are volunteering regularly, we can offer work in some of the following categories, some of the time. You are welcome to number your top three choices and we will do our best to match them. Clothing Categorization (分类 ) Toy categorization Book categorization Household goods categorization Electrical goods categorization Medical categorization Furniture handling Driving Office work Money-raising Where to find us All volunteer work is done at our warehouse. Our warehouse hours: Tues - Sat, 10am - 5:30pm Postal Address: 16 Man Tong, Silvermine Bay, Lantau Island, Hong Kong Office details: Ph: 2984 9309, 2740 9657 Fax: 2984 7452 Email: 106122.2524 51. Crossroads International is _. A. a welfare agency B. a place to store goods donated C. an organization to collect goods for the needed D. an organization ran by the government 52. People in poor places cant get help from the Crossroads if they need _. A. toys and books B. childrens beds and computer desks C. fresh water and food D. refrigerators and washing machines 53. The purpose of this brochure (小册子 ) is mainly to _. A. let people know what Crossroads International is B. call on people to donate more goods C. look for volunteers to work for Crossroads D. tell people what Crossroads can provide 54. From the above brochure, we can conclude that _. A. Crossroads doesnt give goods directly to the people who need them B. People who work at the Crossroads get low pay from it C. You can do whatever you like if you offer help at the Crossroads D. Crossroads has collected more goods than needed （ C） Sometimes youll hear people say that you cant love others until you love yourself. Sometimes youll hear people say that you cant expect someone else to love you until you love yourself. Either way, youve got to love yourself first and this can be tricky. Sure we all know that were the apple of our parents eyes, and that our Grandmas think were great talents and our Uncle Roberts think that we will go to the Olympics, but sometimes its a lot harder to think such nice thoughts about ourselves. If you find that believing in yourself is a challenge, it is time you build a positive self-image and learn to love yourself. Self-image is your own minds picture of yourself. This image includes the way you look, the way you act, the way you talk and the way you think. Interestingly, our self-images are often quite different from the images others hold about us. Unfortunately, most of these images ate more negative than they should be. Thus changing the way you think about yourself is the key to changing your self-image and your whole world. The best way to defeat a passive self-image is to step back and decide to stress your successes. That is, make a list if you need to, but write down all of the great things you do every day. Dont allow doubts to occur in it. It very well might be that you are experiencing a negative self-image because you cant move past one flaw or weakness that you see about yourself. Well, roll up your sleeves and make a change of it as your primary task. If you think youre silly because you arent good at math, find a tutor. If you think youre weak because you cant run a mile, get to the track and practice. If you think youre dull because you dont wear the latest trends, buy a few new clothes. But remember, just because you think it doesnt mean its true. The best way to get rid of a negative self-image is to realize that your image is far from objective, and to actively convince yourself of your positive qualities. Changing the way you think and working on those you need to improve will go a long way towards promoting a positive self-image. When you can pat (拍 ) yourself on the back, youll know youre well on your way. Good luck! 55. You need to build a positive self-image when you _. A. dare to challenge yourself B. feel it hard to change yourself C. are unconfident about yourself D. have a high opinion of yourself 56. How should you change your self-image according to the passage? A. To keep a different image of others. B. To make your life successful. C. To understand your own world. D. To change the way you think. 57. What is the passage mainly about? A. How to prepare for your success. B. How to face challenges in you life. C. How to build a positive self-image. D. How to develop your good qualities. 58. Who are the intended readers of the passage? A. Parents. B. Adults. C. Educators. D. People in general. 第 II 卷（非机读卷 共 50 分） 语言知识运用（共 50 分） 一、听对话、记录信息。（共 8 分，每小题 2 分） 请根据对话内容和卡片中的提示词语，将所缺的关键信息填写在卡片中的相应位置上。对话读三遍。 1. Its a _ for Mr. Black 2.

I dont think so. Health is the greatest wealth, wise people say. You cant be good at your studies or work well when you are ill. If you have a headache, toothache, backache, earache or bad pain in the stomach, if you complain of a bad cough, if you run a high temperature and have a bad cold, or if you suffer from high or low blood pressure, I think you should go to the doctor. The doctor will examine your throat, feel your pulse, test your blood pressure, take your temperature, sound your heart and lungs, test your eyes, check your teeth or have your chest X-rayed. After that he will advise some treatment, or some medicine. The only thing you have to do is to follow his advice. Speaking about doctors advice, I cant help telling you a funny story. An old gentleman came to see the doctor. The man was very ill. He told the doctor about his weakness, memory loss and serious problems with his heart and lungs. The doctor examined him and said there was no medicine for his disease. He told his patient to go to a quiet place for a month and have a good rest. He also advised him to eat a lot of meat, drink two glasses of red wine every day and take long walks. In other words, the doctor advised him to follow the rule: Eat at pleasure, drink with measure and enjoy life as it is. The doctor also said that if the man wanted to be well again, he shouldnt smoke more than one cigarette a day. A month later the gentleman came into the doctors office. He looked cheerful and happy. He thanked the doctor and said that he had never felt a healthier man. But you know, doctor, he said. Its not easy to begin smoking at my age. 1.
