Shulman, an actor and jewellery designer, worked with Kwiat Heritage Jewels to create the ring. The pair quietly began dating in November 2008，but werent pictured together until the following year.“We hit it off immediately the first time we met each other but it took us a pretty long time to get together, she has said of Shulman. “He thought that I had a boyfriend and I thought that he had a girlfriend, so I thought that Id better keep my distance because I didnt want to be that girl.，She described their union as more mature than her previous experiences, adding, “Being mature doesnt always make for a good story, but it makes for a good life.Speaking about the relationship in the September issue(期刊)ofU.K.,s Marie Claire, she said, “Adam totally ruined my plan. I was really actually looking forward to a little time alone tod then I fell in love like a fool.，Her romance with Shulman followed a disastrous relationship with an Italian real este(地产)developer Raffaello Follieri. She split up with him in 2008 when he was arrested on fraud(欺诈)charges and he was later sentenced to four and a half years in prison.The actress, whose film credits also include Brokeback Mountain and One Day, will next star in the new The Dark Knight Rises.

All skirts will be banned from September. Tight-fitting trousers will also be forbidden and Muslim head-dresses will have to be “school blue color.Head teacher Don Smith said, One of the big problems for us at the school has been the number of girls who have been wearing inappropriately short skirts. This has been an area of particular concern at a time when there has been a lot of material nationally about the sexualisation of young people.”He also said, “ It will be impractical to police the length of girls skirts. A blanket ban will be easier for staff to put into practice. We did not want to arrive at a situation where we were telling girls their skirts could only be a certain number of centimeters above or below the knee. Pupils, parents and other teachers opinions were sought before the uniform rules were changed.，The new clothing policy has been explained in a letter sent to parents of the schools 1,000 pupils and will come into force after the summer holiday. Support will be given to parents unable to afford the new tie. The school also wants pupils to wear clip-on(夹式)ties instead of traditional neckties.But the new uniform rules have not been well received by everyone. One parent, whose teenage daughter attends the school, said, “I completely agree some girls were wearing skirts that were too short. However, I think girls should be allowed to be feminine(女性化的).Other schools manage to let girls wear skirts while making sure they are not inappropriately dressed. I dont see why Paget cant do the same.60. The girls at Paget High School are not allowed to wear skirts in that_.A. short skirts give people the impression of sexualisationB. short skirts are too expensive for parents to affordC. the headmaster doesnt like girls wearing short skirtsD. the girls wearing short skirts will be at the risk of being laughed at61. We can learn from the passage that _ A. the new uniform rules are well received by everyoneB. no schools in Branston allow girls to wear short skirtsC. parents unable to afford the new uniform will gain supportD. the pupils parents were informed of the new clothing policy62. Whats the attitude of Mr. Smith towards the new uniform rules?A. Disagreeable. B. Supportive.C. Anxious.D. Curious.63. Whats the best title for the passage?A. New School Rules SetB. Girls Skirts ForbiddenC. Traditional Neckties GoneD. Different Opinions VoicedCHave you ever heard of Paynes Prairie(大草原)？ It is one of the most important natural and historical areas in Florida. Paynes Prairie is located near Gainesville. It is large, 21,000 acres. This protected land is called a reserve, which is managed by the Florida Park Service.The Paynes Prairie basin was formed when limestone(石灰石）broke down and the ground settled. It is covered by wet prairie plants. There are areas of open water. During brief periods it was flooded enough to be considered a lake. Except for that, the basin has changed little through time.Man has lived on Paynes Prairie a very long time. He lived there as far back as 10,000 B.C. At one time, the Seminoles lived there. The prairie is thought to have been named after King Payne, a Seminole chief. During the late 1600s, the largest farm where cattle are fed in Florida was on Paynes.William Bartram who lived 200 years ago visited Paynes Praire in 1774. Bartram was the first person who described nature through personal experiences as well as scientific observations. At that time he called Paynes Prairie the “great Alachua Savannah. Most of the animal life, which Bartram described, is still here. A large number of animals live here in winter. The variety of animals is increased by the presence of pine flat woods, wetlands and ponds.The Paynes Prairie Reserve State Park is open all year round. The Florida Park Service works hard so that the park will appear as it did in the past. It offers many opportunities for entertainment. In the park you can camp and picnic. You can hike and bike. You can boat and fish. You can ride on horses. And you can see Florida as it was in the early days.64. The second paragraph is mainly about_.A. how the present Paynes Prairie basin came into beingB. what the present Paynes Prairie basin is covered byC. why the present Paynes Prairie basin is unchangedD. when the present Paynes Prairie basin began to exist65.

What will the writer most probably talk about in the paragraph that follows?A. The effect of tourism on Paynes Prairie.B. The history and present of Florida.C. The natural resources of Florida.D.

The popular term of indifference(不感兴趣)was found most annoying in conversations by 47 percent of the Americans surveyed in a Marist College poll on Wednesday.Whatever easily beat out “you know, which especially annoyed a quarter of interviewers. The other annoying expressions were anyway(at 7 percent), “it is what it is，(11percent) and “at the end of the day”(2 percent).Whatever is an expression with staying power. It left everyone a deep impression in the song by Nirvana (“oh well, whatever, never mind”）in 1991 and was popularized by the Valley Girls in the film “Clueless”，later that decade. It is still commonly used, often by younger people.It can be a common argument-ender or a signal of indifference. And it can really be annoying. The poll found whatever to be consistently(始终地)disliked by Americans regardless of their race, sex, age, income or where they live.“It doesnt surprise me because whatever，is in a special class, probably，said Michael Adams, author of “Slang(俚语)The Peoples Poetry and an associate professor of English at Indiana University. Its a word that 一 and it depends on how a speaker uses it 一 can suggest being not worthy of attention or respect.，Adams, who didnt take part in the poll and is not annoyed by whatever, points out that its use is not always negative. “It can also be used in place of other neutral(中性的）phrases that have fallen out of favor, like six of one, half dozen of the other，.” he said. However, he also noted that the negative meaning of the word might explain why “whatever，was judged more annoying than the ever-popular you know”.68. Which tops second among the annoying expression according to the passage?A. What
