According to the United States Department of Justice, a first-time offender charged with producing child porn faces fines and 15 to 30 years in prison. The website of UK Visas and Immigration also listed pirated copies of movies and music as illegal, because they infringe upon intellectual property rights. If youre caught bringing pirated products into the UK, the products will be confiscated, and you may face prosecution(起诉).Food, animals and plantsAccording to Australias Department of Immigration and Border Protection, Australia has strict quarantine laws.

But if youre entering the UK from another European Union country, you dont need to declare your cash, no matterhow much you have.Other itemsCustoms rules vary from country to country. For example, when entering Australia you also need to declare traditional medicines because they may contain endangered plant or animal products.

A science reportBOn October 19, 1959, the first Special English program was broadcast on the Voice of America. It was an experiment. The goal was to communicate by radio in clear and simple English with people whose native language is not English. Experts said the goal was admirable, but the method would not work. They were proved wrong. The Special English programs quickly became some of the most popular on VOA. And they still are.Forty years later, Special English continues to communicate with people who are not fluent in English. But during the years its role has expanded. It also helps people learn American English. And it provides listeners, even those who are native English speakers, with information they cannot find elsewhere.Today, Special English broadcasts around the world seven days a week, five times a day. Each half-hour broadcast begins with ten minutes of the latest news followed by 20 minutes of feature programming. There is a different short feature every weekday about science, development, agriculture and environment, and on the weekend, about news events and American idioms.Three elements make Special English unique. It has a limited vocabulary of 1500 words. Most are simple words that describe objects, actions or emotions. Some are more difficult. They are used for reporting world events and describing discoveries in medicine and science. Special English is written in short, simple sentences that contain only one idea. No idioms are used. And Special English is spoken at a slower pace, about two-thirds the speed of Standard English. This helps people learning English hear each word clearly. It also helps people who are English speakers understand complex subjects.Through the years, Special English has become a very popular tool for teaching English, even though it was not designed as teaching program. It succeeds in helping people learn English in a non-traditional way. Individuals record the programs and play them over and over to practice their listening skills. In countries around the world, English teachers assign Special English to their students. They praise it for improving their students ability to understand American English and for the content of the programs. Universities and private companies in many countries produce packages of Special English materials for student use.24. At the beginning, Special English program was .A. doubted by some professionals B. rejected by native peopleC. well received D. intended for teaching English25. What kind of English is spoken on Special English?A. British English B. Not certainC. Both British and American English D. American English26. Which of the following are the elements that make Special English unique?a. limited vocabulary b. short simple sentencesc. good communication method d. slow speed e. interesting feature programmingA. a, c, d B. a, b, d C. b, d, e D. a, b, c27. From the last paragraph we can infer that .A. listening to Special English can be a students homeworkB. listening to Special English can improve the content of the programC. some student record the Special English material for saleD. learning English from VOA is a traditional way for English learnerCHome from the Navy, I started school at Greenville College in my hometown of Illinois.

They do not have opposable thumbs(对生拇指).The brown-headed spider monkey has a prehensile(缠绕性的)tail, which means it can grasp and can be used like a fifth leg to grab trees. During the day, the spider monkey searches for fruits, which make up the main part of its diet. They will also eat flowers, seeds, leaves, and small insects during the dry season when fruits arent available. They spend most of the daylight hours climbing and swinging through the high branches of trees.The brown-headed spider monkey lives in a large community of about 20 to 100 male and female monkeys. They split into smaller groups for feeding. Females usually give birth to only a single baby each year or two. Young monkeys are carried on their mothers stomachs until about 16 weeks old. Then they are strong enough to ride on their mothers backs. All brown-headed spider monkey babies are born with a pink face and ears.Spider monkeys hug each other and wrap their tails around each other. They are very intelligent and have strong memories. They were named spider monkeys because they look like spiders as they hang upside down from their tails with arms and legs swinging. Their genus (属)name is Ateles, which means “imperfect”. This refers to the fact that they dont have thumbs.Hunting the brown-headed spider monkey is now barred in Ecuador, a country in northwestern South America, but humans have killed them for their meat for hundreds of years.32.

The basic rule is simple: treat others in the same way you would want to be treated. 36 . For anything youre about to send: ask yourself, “Would I say this to the persons face?” If the answer is no, rewrite and reread. 37 .If someone in the chat room is rude to you, your instinct (本能) is to fire back in the same manner. But try not to do so. 38 . If it was caused by a disagreement with another member, try to fix the situation by politely discussing it. Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room.39 . Offer advice when asked by newcomers, as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate. When someone makes a mistake, whether its a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer, be kind about it. If its a small mistake, you may not need to say anything. Even if you feel strongly about it, think twice before saying anything. Having good mariners yourself doesnt give you license to correct everyone else. If you do decide to tell someone about a mistake, point it out politely. At the same time, if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended.It is not polite to ask others personal questions such as their age, sex and marital status. 40 , dont ask such questions.A. Its natural that there some people who speak rudely or make mistakes onlineB. Repeat the process till you feel sure that youd feel comfortable saying the words to the persons faceC.

But, now, after one semester as a college student, many of my old ideas have 42 completely.I used to imagine bossy upper-classmen, for example. I thought they would be know-it-all rulers of the campus who 43 freshmen for fun. I pictured being 44 to the wrong classrooms, being ignored. But, in fact, the upper-classmen turned out to be quite 45. They offered to help me and inspired me to 46 my tough courses.The upper-classmen werent the only ones I worried about.
