Passage 1
An English traveler found himself in Norway with only enough money to buy the ticket for his journey back home. As he knew that it would take him only two days to get to England, he decided that he could easily spend the time without food. So he bought a ticket and got on the ship. The man closed his ears to the sound of the lunch bell. When dinnertime came, he didn’t go to dinning room, saying that he was not feeling very well.
The next morning he still didn’t have breakfast and at lunchtime he again stayed in his room. But at dinnertime he was so hungry that he went to the dinning room and ate everything the waiter put in front of him. He got ready for the quarrel. “Bring me the bill,” he said. “The bill, sir?” said the waiter in surprise. “There isn’t any bill.

Passage 2
Are you carrying too much on your back at school? You’re not alone. Back experts in the United States are worried that young students are having back and neck problems as a result of carrying too much in their backpacks (schoolbags).
“It hurts my back when I run,” said Oberlin Reyes, a student in Virginia. “It’s hard to get up the stairs with my backpack, because it’s too heavy.”
Oberlin is among students whose backpacks were weighed for a week in a recent study.
They had regular backpacks with two straps (带子) to carry them, but a number of students with heavy loads had switched to rolling backpacks (which have wheels and can roll on the ground).
Shirley Park, whose backpack weighed 10 kilograms, said she changed to a rolling backpack because she was starting to have back pain.
How much is too much? Experts say students should carry no more than 10 to 15 percent of their own body weight. A few students had one suggestion to lighten the load: less homework.
P.S. (附言) Doctor’s suggestion:
① Lighten the load. Clean out binders (活页材料) and take home only the books you need that night.
② Wide straps are better. They send out the weight over your shoulders more evenly (均匀). And be sure to wear both straps rather than hanging the pack over one shoulder.
③ Pack smart. The heavier things should be packed closed to the back.
④ Bend both knees when you pick up the pack, and don’t just bend over at the waist (腰).（273 words）
11. “_____” is the main idea of the text.
A. The problem of backpacks is worth studying       
B. The problem made by heavy backpacks
C. What is the best backpack for a student       
D. How to make students’ backpacks light
12. According to Enderlin Reyes and Shirley Park, we know ______.
A. students have to do too much homework                       
B. backpacks have to carry heavy backpacks
C. backpacks without wheels are bad for students               
D. too much homework leaves students no free time
13. The expression “switched to” in the text perhaps means ______.
A. started to use                    B. turned to                 C. caught up                    D. used for
14. According to the passage, it’s better for a student of 40 kilograms to carry a backpack of _____ at most by the words of experts.
A. 10 kg                                 B. 8 kg                         C. 6 kg                                 D. 7 kg

Passage Two
Do you forget to turn off the lights and heaters when you go out of a room? In 2040 it will not matter. They will turn themselves off and on again when you return. A sensor(传感器) will detect the presence of a human and turn the systems on, and when the humans leave it will turn them off again.
The sensors will work through the central home computer, and they will do much more than just turn the fires and lights on and off for you. They will detect faulty electrical appliances, isolate them so that they cannot harm anyone, and then warn you that they need repair. They will detect fire and if you are out of the house, the computer will call the firemen. It will also call the police if the sensors detect an intruder. You will open the door using your personal card---the one you use for shopping---maybe using a number known only to you.

Passage 1
If an American is satisfied with you, he will put his thumb (拇指) and forefinger (食指) into a circle. That means OK. But in Brazil, the very sign is considered to be rude.

Usually we nod to express our agreement and shake our heads to show disapproval. To our surprise these body movements mean the opposite in Bulgaria (保加利亚). The differences in customs and cultures in the world are really noticeable. We should learn more about them to avoid them to avoid embarrassment.
