It may be a game of some kind, football, hockey, golf or tennis. It may be mountaineering.Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks on high mountains? This astonishment is caused probably by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure.Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, as there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of a different kind which it would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.If we compare mountaineering and other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not. a team game. We should be mistaken in this. There are, it is true, no matches between teams of climbers, but when climbers are on a rockface linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously team work. The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight the forces of nature, his sport requires high mental and physical qualities.A mountain climber continues to improve in skill year after year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty, and most international tennis champions are in their early twenties. But it is not unusual for a man of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more time than younger men, but they probably climb with more skill and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.1. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. Differences between Golf and Mountaineering.B. Sports and Games.C. Mountaineering.D. Why are so many people crazy about mountaineering?2. The mountaineering can also be called a team sport because_.A. mountain climbers usually compete in groupsB. mountaineers depend on each other while climbingC. mountaineering climbers are free to use their own rules to climbD. mountaineering is a sport not a game3. The biggest difference between golf and mountaineering lies in_.A. team game B. enjoymentC. age D. rules4. In the authors opinion, one of the most important reason why so many people enjoy mountaineering is that_.A. there are no man-made rules for mountaineersB. mountaineering is a sport and not a gameC. it is one of the most dangerous sportsD. mountaineering bring us more enjoyment than other sportsBThinking is something you choose to do as a fish chooses to live in water. To be human is to think. But thinking may come naturally without your knowing how you do it. Thinking about thinking is the key to critical(判断性的)thinking. When you think critically, you take control of your thinking processes(过程). Otherwise, you mightbe controlled by the ideas of others. Indeed, critical thinking is at the heart of education.The word critical here has a special meaning. It does not mean taking one view against another view, as when some. one criticizes another person for doing something wrong. The nature of critical thinking is thinking beyond the easily seenbeyond the pictures on TV, the untrue reports in the newspapers, and the faulty reasoning.Critical thinking is an attitude as much as an activity. If you are curious about life and desire to dig deeper into it, you are a critical thinker, If you find pleasure in deep thinking about different ideas, characters, and facts, you are a critical thinker.Activities of the mind and higher-order reasoning are processes of deep and careful consideration. They take lime, and do not go hand in hand with the fast speed in todays world, fast foods, instant coffee, and serf-developing film. If you are among the people who believe that speed is a measure of intelligence, you may learn something new from a story about Albert Einstein. The first time Banesh Hoffman, a scientist, was to discuss his work with Albert Einstein, Hoffman was too nervous to speak. But Einstein immediately put Hoffman at ease by saying, Please go slowly, I dont understand things quickly.5. Critical thinking is important to us because if we do not think critically,_.A. it will be hard for us to think naturally and fastB. we might be controlled by other peoples ideasC. we will follow the ideas of others naturallyD. we might be fooled by other peoples ideas6. If you are a critical thinker, you will_.A. think deeply about different ideasB. trust the reports in the newspapersC. take one view against another viewD. criticize other people for their mistakes7. In the last paragraph, something new suggests that_.A. the smarter you are, the faster you do thingsB. the faster you do things, the smarter you becomeC. speed can improve intelligenceD. intelligence is not decided by speed8. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Thinking and Critical ThinkingB. Understanding Critical ThinkingC. Thinking Natural and HumanD. Thinking Fast Means IntelligenceCRecently, a professor of philosophy in the United States has written a book called Money and the Meaning of life. he has discovered that how we deal with money in our day-to-day life has more meaning than we usually think. One of the exercises be asked his students to do is to deep record of every penny they spend for a week. From the way they spend their money, they can see what they really value in life.He says our relation with others often becomes clearly defined when money enters the picture. You might have wonderful friendship with somebody and you think that you are very good friend. But you will know him only when you ask him to lend you some money. If he does, it brings something to the relationship that seems stronger than ever before. Or it can suddenly weaken the relationship if he doesnt. This person may say that he has a certain feeling, but if it is not carried out in the money world, there is something less real about it.Since money is so important to us, we consider those who possess a lot of it to be very important. The author interviewed some millionaires in researching his book.Question: What is the most surprising thing you have discovered about being rich, because you are a self-made man?Answer: The most surprising thing is how people give me so much respect. I am nothing. I do not know much. All I am is rich.People just have an idea of making more and more money, but What is it for? How much do I need for any given purposes in my life? In his book, the professor un covered an important need in modern society: to bring back the idea that money is an instrument rather than the end. Money plays an important role in the material world, but expecting money to give happiness may be missing the meaning of life.9. According to the first paragraph, people have not realizedA. how important money is in their day-to-day lifeB. how one spends money shows what is important to himC. that money is more important than their philosophy of lifeD. that their understanding of life is more important than money10. The author seems to believe that asking your friend to lend you some money_.A. is a good way to test your friendshipB. will do harm to your friendshipC. will strengthen (增进)your friendshipD. is a good way to break off your friendship11. What can we learn about the millionaire from his answer in the interview?A. He does not feel that he is well educated.B. He does not think that he is a very important person.C. He doesnt think that being rich is worth so much attention.D. He does not consider himself to be very successful.12. What does the American professor of philosophy want to explain in his book?A. Money is an end.B. Money is a means.C. Money is everything.D. Money is unimportant.13. Which of the following might the author disagree?A. Money is important in modem society.B. The meaning of life does not completely lie in money.C. Wealth will surely bring the owner happiness.D.

They can round up lost children and protect those who experience unfortunate accidents Wendy Dyble, a Sheetland Islands woman who teaches children up to age seven, made it clear to her fellow friends that she was not barking mad. They obviously believed her, supporting her idea by 16 votes to 13, with a total of 63 abstentions(弃权).She said big dogs could help round up children, keep them in line, lick up the milk they spill on the floor and provide the extra eyes that a teacher needs to keep order. A big dog would also he helpful for breaking up fights and look for lost property, like gym shoes or dolls, she added. It would be nice for the teacher not to have to go around sniffing each child to find the culprit(罪犯) .The idea was greeted by the Dog Defense League but less so by bigger teaching unions. A spokesman for Education Secretary David Blunkett, who is blind, said his guide dog was always popular with pupils when he visited schools. The Professional Association of Teachers, with around 35,000 members, is the smallest teaching union in Britain. It has an honor for occasional strange ideas.Earlier this week, its annual conference here suggested stopping exams because they lead to stress and introducing selection at the age of 12 based on physical coordination and manual skill in the use of hands.14.

A spokesman for Education Secretary _.A. once used a dog as classroom assistantB. sang high praise for Dybles ideaC. would employ dogs as teachersD. benefited from dogs more than othersE“Dont put all your eggs into one basket” is a classic investment concept (投资理念). For China, the euro will become another “basket” for storing “eggs”.Mr Yang, a famous scholar, said that China should increase the proportion (比例) of the euro in its national foreign exchange reserve (外汇储备) to reduce risks and preserve value.By the end of November 2001, Chinas foreign exchange reserve had amounted to US $ 208. 31 billion, ranking second in the world. The US dollar took an absolutely high proportion of it, adding up to 60 percent, while the Japanese yen and Deutsche (German) Mark only made up 15 percent.Mr Yang said that like businesses and individuals, a country should preserve property (保持资产) value. Since the currencies (money) of different countries always have ups and downs, there should be a rational (合理的) distribution of different currencies in the foreign exchange reserve to reduce exchange rate risks and thus preserve value. In view of the trade proportions between China and its five major trading partners-the United States, Japan, Britain, Germany and France, the proportion of the US dollar in the foreign exchange reserve should be kept at around 45 percent in future, while the proportion of the euro should increase to 20-30 percent.It is believed that the euro will become a world currency like US dollar. China has not only paid close attention to the euro, but also started to increase euro reserve. Finance Misister Xiang Huaicheng said, “1 have noticed that the euro is becoming stronger recently. So I propose that leaders of the related department c
