●Extinct languages
Sept. 18, 2007 – In the vast outback of northern Australia, the native languages of the Aborigines are slowly dying. But a team of explorers and linguists are fighting to keep these dialects alive through the five – year Enduring Voices project, funded by the National Geographic Society.
As the team tracks down speakers of these imperiled languages, including the only known speaker of a language long thought to be extinct, they learn why losing the wisdom of these mother tongues is a “tragedy for humanity.”

Girls really do prefer pink and boys prefer blue, recent research shows.
The reasons could have its origins in the hunt for food on the African savannah (稀树草原) thousands of years ago. Evolution may have developed women’s preference for pink, perhaps because it helped them to find ripe fruit and healthy men with reddish faces, while both men and women have a natural desire for blue, according to scientists at Newcastle University.
“Everyone in today’s Western culture, from parents to toy manufacturers, seems to assume that little girls like pink.” Said Prof. Anya Hurlbert, who wanted to find out whether the reason was cultural or to do with biology.
A love of salmon, fuschia and coral does seem to be rooted into females, rather than picked up from their mothers.
The participants in the study were Chinese and British. The Chinese students showed a marked preference for red. “Culture may contribute to this natural female preference,” said Pro. Hurlbert.
In her experiments, 208 young adult men and women were asked to select, as rapidly as possible, their preferred color. Hurlbert and her colleague Dr. Yazhu Ling marked the results and found that while men preferred blue, women tended to choose pink.
Hulbert said she could only infer about the preference for blue: “Here again, I would favor evolutionary arguments. Going back to our ‘savannah’ days, we would have a natural preference for a clear blue sky, because it signaled good weather. Clear blue also signals a good water source.”
64．The passage mentions “the African savannah” to show that .
A．the ancient Africa was a beautiful place
B．human beings lived in Africa at first
C．women and men have different color preferences
D．color preference has its historical origins
65．It can be inferred that the underlined word “fuschia” .
A．is probably a kind of toy B．is probably pink in color
C．can be only found in Africa D．hardly causes men’s interest
66．By saying “The Chinese students … for red.” In paragraph 5, the writer means .
A．red is the Chinese students’ favorite color
B．the Chinese prefer red more than the British
C．culture influences people’s color preferences
D．the study was carried out by two nations
67．What can we know from the last paragraph?
A．Hurlbert thinks evolution explains why people prefer blue.
B．Hurbert has a strong desire for “savannah” days.
C．Blue is a natural signal of many good things.
D．While boys like blue, girls like pink.

We run the show
As the start of the Beijing Games is getting closer, is there anything more exciting than being a part of the Olympics? It’s really hard for any of us to be faster than Liu Xiang, but still we can do our share during the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
Since the first modern Olympics, volunteers have become an important and inseparable part of the great event. There were 900 people working for free at the first modern Games. In 2000, the number was 47,000 while in 2004 in Athens 60,000 served the Games. BOCOG(北京奥组委) has estimated that around 100,000 volunteers will be needed for the 2008 Olympics.
Volunteers and their positions:
Towaras Olympic Volunteers
‘Towards Olympics’ volunteers refer to those who help the whole nation preparing for the games when the final day comes closer.
Games – time Volunteers
Games – time volunteers refer to volunteers recruited directly by BOCOG. They will accept management of BOCOG and be issued Olympic identity cards. They perform post – specific responsibilities during the Games and serve at the Beijing Olympics without pay.
City Volunteers
High school students are welcomed to become city volunteers. They will have fixed or specially assigned working positions during the Olympics. About 400,000 city volunteers will be needed. About 2,000 city voluntary service stands will be established at major traffic hubs, commercial networks, hospitals and cultural centers to serve in areas of information consulting and other services with regional features.
Social Volunteers
Anyone can be a social volunteer. It refers to those who serve during Beijing Olympic Games within or around the villages. They will spread Olympic concepts and culture, maintain social orders, optimize city environment and advocate civilized behavior. They are an important part of the volunteers projects of Beijing Olympic Games.
68．According to the passage, who does the word “we” in the title refer to?

Everyone knows that the Frenchmen are romantic, the Italians are fashionable and the Germans are serious. Are these just stereotypes or is there really such a thing as national character? And if there is, can it affect how a nation succeed or fail?
At least one group of people is certain that it can. A recent survey of the top 500 entrepreneurs (企业家) in the UK found that 70% felt that their efforts were not appreciated by the British public. Britain is hostile (敌意的) to success, they said. It has a culture of jealousy. As a result, the survey said, entrepreneurs were “unloved, unwanted and misunderstood.” Jealousy is sometimes known as the “green – eyed monster” and the UK is its home.
Scientists at Warwich University in the UK recently tested this idea. They gathered a group of people together and gave each an imaginary amount of money. Some were given a little, others a great deal. Those given a little were given the chance to destroy the large amount of money given to others – but at the cost of losing their own. Two thirds of the people tested agreed to do this.
This seems to prove that the entrepreneurs were right to complain. But there is also conflicting evidence. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development recently reported that the UK is now the world’s fourth largest economy. That is not bad for people who are supposed to hate success. People in the UK also work longer hours than anyone else in Europe. So the British people are not lazy, either.
“It is not really success that the British dislike,” says Carey Cooper, a professor of management at the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology. “It’s people using their success in a way that seems proud or unfair or which separates them from their roots.”
Perhaps it is the entrepreneurs who are the problem. They set out to do things in their way. They work long hours. By their own efforts they become millionaires. But instead of being happy they complain that nobody loves them. It hardly seems worth following their example. If they were more friendly, people would like them more. And more people want to be like them.
72．The best title for this article can be .
A．Be More Modest and We Will Love You More
B．Proud Entrepreneurs
C．The Frenchmen are Romantic While The British are Hostile
D．Only Pains but No Gains
73．Most entrepreneurs surveyed believe that .
A．the British people hate success
B．the British people are hardworking
C．love of success is Britain’s national character
D．they are considered as “green – eyed monsters”
74．What does the result of the Warwich University’s test show.
A．Two thirds of the people tested didn’t love money.
B．Most people would rather fail than see others succeed.
C．An imaginary amount of money does not attract people.
D．Most people are willing to enjoy success with others.
75．The writer of the passage seems to suggest that .
A．jealousy is Britain’s national character
B．British entrepreneurs are not fairly treated
C．the scientists at Warwich University did a successful test
D．the entrepreneurs in the UK do not behave properly

Dear Students’ Union,
I have just read the ad on the school bulletin and the moment I saw it I look an interest in becoming one of the volunteer English teachers of the five. Now I’m writing here to apply for this opportunity.
I am Lili, a girl of 18 and I have a good command of English for two years I have been tutoring two school children in English. Presently, I work as a member of Loving Heart Club in our school. Voluntary work has helped me build confidence and good communication skills.
In my opinion, being a volunteer teacher is obviously more than just teaching; furthermore, it is helpful to broaden our horizon and improve our understanding of the world. That’s why I’d like to take this opportunity and make the most of my special talents and interests. By helping those kids, I feel I can make a big difference to their future and make a small contribution to society.
I’d appreciate it so much if you could possibly consider my application. I’m looking forward to your early reply.
Yours sincerely
Lili
