With more and more people swimming at beaches every year, the problem of sharks takes on

new importance. There are people who still insist that sharks never attack human beings unless thay

are bleeding or wounded, but this thought has not been clearly proved. In the past few years, on both

the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, there have been cases of shark attacks which resulted in death. And

just how many of the swimmers who have disappeared were victims of shark attacks will never be

known. Clearly, these violent fish can be dangerous. Several species are known to attack human

beings, and it is believed by some experts that certain sharks, once having tasted human blood,

develop a taste for it.

The chances that one will come across a shark are small, but certain measures should be taken

by everyone. Putting hands or legs over the side of a boat in warm water is to be avoided.

Swimming far out from beaches is inviting trouble. No swimmer should go great distances from

shore alone, or go into the water when nobody else is about. Skin divers, particularly those who go

deep down in the water or among rocks and ledges(暗礁) that serve as hiding places for sharks, are

taking unnecessary risks.

If one is in a boat that is rubbed against by a shark, he should remember the creature is not

trying to upset his boat; it is probably trying to rub off sea lice (海虱). A beat, especially on the

nose, will scare it away. If a swimmer comes across a shark, he should swim away as quietly as

possible, trying to avoid making it angry. He should also head for shore (岸) as quickly as possible.

4. What should be done if a shark rubs against your boat?

A. Stir up the water. B. Shout and scream.

C. Kick the shark. D. Hit it on the nose.

5. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 mean?

A. Certain sharks will become interested in human blood when they have tasted it.

B. Certain sharks will hate human blood again after they have tasted it.

C. Certain sharks will taste human blood every day after they have tasted it.

D. Certain sharks will lose sense of taste when they have tasted human blood.

6. Where do sharks sometimes hide themselves?

A. Places with sea lice in water. B. Somewhere near the beaches.

C. Among the rocks and ledges. D. It isn’t mentioned in the passage.

7. Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. Some people don’t think sharks will attack human .

B. It’s impossible for swimmers to run into sharks.

C. Swimmers should be very careful about sharks.

D. It’s safe to swim alone far away from the bench.

Nearly everyone would agree that it is very hard to let go of anger after you have been hurt by

someone. However, research shows that forgiveness is good for your health. It can give you more

energy, help you sleep better. According to Dr Frederic Luskin, author of the book Forgive for Good,

people who are able to forgive are less angry and more hopeful. “It can reduce the wear and tear on

our bodies,” says Dr Luskin, “and allow people to feel more energetic.”

You are probably asking yourself, “How is it possible to forgive?” It is not easy, but here are

some suggestions to try. When you have been hurt, first try to calm yourself down: breathe deeply

and force yourself to think of something pleasant, such as someone you love or a beautiful sunset.

Thinking about the hurt is of no use; it only gives power to the person who hurt you. Train yourself

to see beauty, love and kindness in the world around you. Never wait for an apology, because you

may be waiting forever. Very often the one who hurt you will never think of apologizing, either

because they meant to hurt you or because they don’t understand your point of view. It can be very

helpful to you to write yourself a letter, imagining what the other person’s perspective might be. Try

to stand in his shoes to see the situation; you may realize that the hurt was a result of ignorance or

fear — or maybe even love. Finally, remember that forgiving someone does not mean that you have

accepted their action. It only means that you have chosen to let go of the hurt.

8. What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Forgiveness is possible for all people. B. We should not wait for an apology.

C. When someone has hurt you, try to forgive. D. Forgiveness can be extremely difficult.

9. Which statement is NOT true according to the passage?

A. Forgiveness can make people feel more energetic.

B. People who forgive show less anger and more hope.

C. Forgiveness means you accept the hurting actions.

D.Being lost in hate may bring you deeper hurt and pain.

10. What does the underlined phrase in the first paragraph mean?

A. Damage. B. Energy. C. Waste. D. Sensitivity.

11. How can you calm yourself when someone has hurt you?

A. Take deep breaths and think of something pleasant.

B. Learn to look for love, beauty and kindness around you.

C. Try to see things from the other person’s perspective.

D. All of the above.

Wangdu Bookstore was founded 13 years ago. The owner Ms. Shi said, “Bookselling is a low-

profit business. More and more people buy books from online bookstores because they are offering

bigger discounts.” Wangdu Bookstore started to lose money two or three years ago when online

bookstores grew rapidly. To open up the market and develop readers’ buying habits, online

bookstores use low prices as an important sales method.

“We offer a 10% discount to customers and 15% to club members. At these discount levels, our

book sales are still going down,” Ms. Shi said. She believes low costs and no rent are big reasons

why online bookstores are growing so quickly.

A survey shows that online bookstores have already taken more than 10% of all book sales in

China. In large cities, online shopping has become the main book-buying method. With online

bookstores gradually growing in the book market, the difficulties for real bookstores are becoming

increasingly clear. Recently, JiFengShuYuan has had to face the possibility of closure ( 倒闭 )

because of the bad effects of online competition and high rent. “We all have the same problem as

JiFengShuYuan’s. Real bookstores are going to disappear sooner or later,”said Ms. Shi sadly.

But at this hard time, Eslite Bookstore overseas is doing very well. Few Eslite bookstores sell

only books. Instead, most of the store space is given to tapes and CDs, clothes, and other high-profit

items. This is how Eslite pays for the rent.

12. Why did Wangdu Bookstore start to lose money ?

A. Bookselling was a low-profit business. B. It had to pay more for the costs and rent.

C. Online bookstores were developing fast. D. It gave a much lower discount to customers.

13. Why does the author use the example of Eslite Bookstore in the last paragraph ?

A. To show that the bookselling isn’t a good business.

B. To give a quite different example of a real bookstore.

C. To tell the readers that real bookstores may disappear.

D. To advise real bookstore owners to give up their businesses.

14. What can we infer from the passage?

A. JiFengShuYuan is not doing business at present.

B. Online bookstores can offer customers discounts lower than 15%.

C. People in both large and small cities prefer buying books online.

D. Real bookstore owners are not smart enough to run their businesses.

15. What’s the main idea of the passage?

A. The success of Eslite Bookstore. B. The advantages of online bookstores.

C. The problems faced by Wangdu Bookstore. D. The difficulties faced by real bookstores.
