Over three million people will do their Christmas shopping entirely online this year without once visiting an actual shop, a poll (民意调查) has found. Overcrowding and long queues in shops are forcing people away from the high street as the hassle (烦扰) of Christmas shopping becomes too much.The number of people turning their backs on the high street is almost one million higher than it was last year, according to the poll by YouGov. Last Christmas 2.4 million shoppers did not do any of their shopping in actual shops. The figure this year is predicted to be around 3.4 million, equal to around 7 percent of the adult population.Over a third of people said that the main turn-off about shopping on the high street is 0ver-crow-ding. Meanwhile almost a quarter said that long queues at the cheek-out are the worst thing about it.Of the 2.065 people pored, even those who are stir taking to the shops plan to spend less time in them this Christmas. Around 31 percent of shoppers who plan to spend at least some time on the high street will spend less than half of their shopping time in actual shops, using the rest of the time to shop remotely via the internet. This compares to 28 percent of people last year. Meanwhile the proportion of people spending over half of their shopping time in high street shops has dropped from 41 percent last year to 39 percent this year. Just 2 percent of people said that they are looking forward to dealing wi.th store staff this festival season.Guy Boxall, senior product marketing manager at Casio Business Solutions Division, which commissioned the research from YouGov, said that despite the fall in people visiting the high street,humans are "social creatures" who actually like spending time together."Although the high street is facing a big challenge Christmas, retailers (零售商) should see this research as a challenge to improve the in-store shopping experience, rather than the nail in the coffin. We are social creatures, and the desire to spend time with each other, particularly at Christmas, is never going to go away," said Mr. Boxall.【小题1】According to the poll, in this year's Christmas &&&&&&A．about 7 % of the population will do both online and actual shoppingB．about 31% of shoppers will do half of their shopping in actual shopsC．about 39% of shoppers will do more than half of their shopping in actual shopsD．over three million shoppers will quit actual shopping just because of the long queues【小题2】What's the meaning of "turn-off" in Para.5?A．Something that makes people lose heartB．Something that makes people lose faceC．Something that makes people lose interestD．Something that makes people lose courage【小题3】It can be inferred from Mr. Boxall's words that &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&A．retailers should reduce their in-store goods.B．retailers wiR be pessimistic about the result of this research.C．retailers should focus on the advantage of in-store shopping.D．retailers will make more profits this Christmas than last Christmas【小题4】Wheat's the writer's attitude towards Christmas online shopping?A．Concerned.B．Doubtful.C．Approving.D．Objective.

A trip to a theme park is alwaysa adventure, but if you’re not prepared, your day of fun could easily turn intoa tiny little nightmare(噩梦). It is important to pack long sleeved(带袖的) shirts or jackets for all members of your family. I is also a goodidea to pack an extra pair of socks for each member of the family, especiallythe children, as those wonderful water rides can be fun, but wet socks thatwon’t dry aren’t so much fun.You don’t want to packtoo much food, as you will probably want to experience at least some of thefood offered at the theme park of your choice(that’s half of the fun), but it’salways a good idea to bring some energy increasing snacks, such as fruit,trailmix,etc. This can mean the difference between spending a lot of money on snacksor a little money on one or two good meals.Theme parks,while funand exciting, can wear a person out,especially a child, so it’s important tokeep hydrated(含水的). I would suggest packing one bottle of waterper person, and possibly a couple of cans of soda or bottles of juice as well.It’s a good idea tohave at least two cell phones or even a set of “walkie-talkies” in the eventthat your family gets,separated in the park. It’s a good idea to give one ofthese things to the children and one to the parents and make sure that each ofthem knows how to use it.

TV-Turnoff Week is here.The goal of TV-Turnoff Week is to letpeople leave their TV sets off and participate in activities from drawing tobiking. The event was founded by TV-Turnoff Network, a non-profit organizationwhich started the event in 1995. In the beginning, only a few thousand peopletook part. Last year more that 7.6 million people participated, includingpeople in every state in America and in more than 12 other countries! This isthe 11 th year in which organizers are asking people to “turn off the TV andturn on life.”According to the TV-Turnoff Network, theaverage kids in the US spend more time in front of the TV （about 1, 023 hours per year）than they do in school （about 900 hours per year）. Too much TV watching has mademany kids&&&&& .In fact, in 2001’s TV-Turn-off week,US Surgeon General David Satcher said, “We are raising the most overweightgeneration of youngsters in American history. This week is about saving lives.”Over the years, studies have shown thatwatching a lot of TV leads to poor eating habits, too little exercise, andviolence. Frank Vespe of the TV-Turnoff Network said that turning off the TV “is , or should be ,part of a healthy lifestyle.”“One of the great lessons of participatingin TV-Turnoff Week is the realization that every time I turn on the TV, I’mdeciding not to do something else,” Vespe said.TV-Turnoff Week seems to be making adifference. Recent US Census （人口普查）data shows that about 72 percent of kids under 12 have a limit ontheir TV time.

To us, it seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains. But in fact the umbrella was not invented as protection against the rain. Its first use was as a shade (遮蔽) against the sun.Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the first to use it were the Chinese, back in the eleventh century BC.We know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was a strange thing connected with its use : it became a symbol of honor and power(权力). In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by those in high office or by royal people such as the kings or queens.In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. The umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece, but it is believed that the first people in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans. During the middle ages in Europe, the use of the umbrella almost disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the late sixteenth century. And again it became a symbol of power.Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight. It wasn't until the twentieth century that the umbrellas for women began to be made in all kinds of colors.1. Ancient people first used umbrellas as _________.A. a symbol of honor
B. protection against the sunC. a symbol of power
D. protection against the rain2. According to the passage, the umbrella was probably first used in ancient ______.A. Egypt .
B. Babylon

The umbrellas for women were made colorful in ancient times.D. The style of the umbrella hasn't changed a lot since it was invented5.

A habit is any action that we have performed so often that it becomes something that we do almost without thinking. Some of them are thought to be bad habits. People spend countless hours and dollars each year trying to get rid of these bad habits but often fail. Why? Change is hard work and there is no shortcut to achieve it. However, there is still some advice for you to follow.First, look at why you do it. In other words, what’s the result of doing this thing? If your bad habit is shouting at people when you are unhappy or under pressure, what do you get from it? It may make you feel a little better for the moment. Or maybe you have a bad habit of leaving your homework undone. The result could be that you get more time to spend on the Internet!Next, take a look on the other hand. What are you losing because of your habit? Shouting at other people is a bad habit because it makes people around you feel bad and unhappy. Leaving your homework undone is a bad habit because you may be punished by your teacher. Having more Internet time means that you are losing the chance to learn the things that you need to learn. When you think that way, you’ll find that it’s not wise to keep your bad habit! Now it is time to make a decision. What will you choose? I’m sure you will choose to do what you think is more important.1.From the first paragraph we know that __________.A. a habit is a terrible thing that we can never changeB. people spend countless hours and dollars to get rid of habitsC. none of the people who try to break bad habits are successfulD. though it is difficult, we can still do something about our bad habits2.The underlined sentence “there is no shortcut to achieve it” means that ________.A. it is not easy to get rid of bad habitsB. there is a long way and a short wayC. something dangerous may happenD. we must cut it in a short time.3.According to the reading, if you want to get rid of your habits, you have to _____.A. talk to others when you are in low spiritsB. know why you do what you doC. finish your homework firstD. spend less time on the Internet4.Which of the following does NOT happen because of a bad habit according to the reading?A.

You leave your homework at home by accident.5.The main purpose of this passage is to __________.A. introduce and describe

Many people have a fear(害怕) of public speaking. According to a study, it has an influence on 3 in every 4 people. This fact is surprising and worrying, as most jobs require some speaking ability. The following will help you to make a speech better.Write note cards. Write main ideas on your cards. Don’t write details. Put in some fun facts, questions, and other activities on the cards to share with the class. Don’t look at your note cards for a long time while speaking. If necessary, you’re only going to have a quick look at the card for information, not read every word.Smile at your class. When it comes time to speak, there’s nothing that draws your class into your speech than a good old-fashioned smile. Be happy, because you’re about to teach your class something they didn’t know before. Studies have shown that smiles are infections. That means once you smile, it’s hard for everyone else not to smile. So if you want your speech to go off well, smile. That will make everyone smile and maybe those smiles will make you actually smile.Make eye contact. Nothing is more boring than listening to a speaker who looks at the floor or at note cards. Relax. Your class is made up of your friends and you talk to them all the time. Talk the same way now. Have a look at every person in the classroom at least once. That way, everyone will feel like you’re communicating with them. Also, you know you’ll look like what you’re talking about.Use hand motions. Move your hands along as you talk, using them to express your key points and keep the class interested. It will also lead your nervous energy into a better place.1.According to the passage, ______ of people might fear to speak in public.A. 100 percent
B. 75 percentC. 50 percent
D. 25 percent2.How many points are mentioned in the passage?A. Three.
