The Race into Space
American millionaire Dennis Tito will always be famous. He was the first tourist in space. \"I spent sixty years on Earth and eight days in space and from my viewpoint, it was two separate lives,\" Tito explained. He loved his time in space, \"Being in space and looking back at earth is one of the most rewarding experiences a human being can have.\"
This kind of experience isn\"t cheap. It cost $20 million. However, Tito achieved his dream, so he was happy. \"For me it was a life dream. It was a dream that began when I didn\"t have any money.\" he told reporters.
On 30 April 2002, Mark Shuttleworth became the world\"s second space tourist. Shuttleworth is a South African businessman. At the age of twenty-eight, he also paid $20 million for the eight day trip.
Both Tito and Shuttleworth bought their tickets from a company called Space Adventures. **pany has around 100 people already on their waiting list for flights into space. The spaceship to take them doesn\"t exist yet.
Many of the customers are people who like adventure. They are the kind of people who also want to climb Mount Qomolangma. Other customers are people who love space. However, these people are worried. Because it\"s so expensive, only very rich people can go into space. They want space travel to be available to more people.
That day may soon be here. Inter Orbital Systems (IOS) plans to send up to four tourists a week into space. The tours will depart from an island in Tonga. **pany promises a package that includes forty- five days of astronaut training in Russia and California, seven days in space, and a vacation in Tonga for $2 million.
However, space flight is still very dangerous. Bill Readdy is NASA\"s deputy assistant
administrator for space flight. He says that the chances of dying are about 1 in 500. Because of this it may take time before space tourism really takes off. You might be able to go up, but will **e down?

下面的短文后有两项测试任务：(1)第23～26题要求从所给的6个选项中为每段选择1个最佳标题；(2)第27～30题要求从所给的6个选项中为每个句子确定1个最佳选项。
Pedestrians Only
1. The concept of traffic-free shopping areas goes back a long time. During the Middle Ages, traffic-free shopping areas were built in Middle Eastern countries to allow people to shop in comfort and more importantly, safety. As far back as 2,000 years ago, road traffic was banned from central Rome during the day to allow for the tree movement of Pedestrians (行人), and was only allowed in at night when shops and markets had closed for the day. In most other cities, however, pedestrians were forced to share the streets with horses, coaches and, later, with cars and
other motorised vehicles.
2. The modern, traffic-free shopping street was born in Europe in the 1960s, when both city populations and car ownership increased rapidly. Dirty gases from cars and the risks involved in crossing the road were beginning to make shopping an unpleasant and dangerous experience. Many believed the time was right for experimenting with car-free streets, and shopping areas seemed the best place to start.
3. At first, there was resistance from shopkeepers. They believed that such a move would be bad for business. They argued that people would avoid streets if they were unable to get to them in their cars. When the first streets in Europe were closed to traffic, there were even noisy demonstrations, as many shopkeepers predicted they would lose customers.
4. However, research carried out afterwards in several European cities revealed some unexpected statistics. In Munich, Cologne and Hamburg, visitors to shopping areas increased by 50 percent. On Copenhagen\"s main shopping street, shopkeepers reported sales increases of 25～40 percent. Shopkeepers in Minneapolis, the USA, were so impressed when they learnt this that they even offered to pay for the construction and maintenance costs of their own traffic-free streets.
5. With the arrival of the traffic-flee shopping street, many shops, especially those selling things like clothes, food and smaller luxury items, prospered. Unfortunately, it wasn\"t good news for everyone, as shops selling furniture and larger electrical appliances (电器) actually saw their sales drop. Many of these were forced to move elsewhere, away from the city centre. 1. Paragraph 1 ______.
A. Facing protest from shop owners B. An experiment that went wrong C. Increase in sales and customers D. Popularity of online shopping E. A need for change
F. An idea from ancient history 2. Paragraph 2 ______. 3. Paragraph 3 ______. 4. Paragraph 4 ______.
5. Traffic-tree shopping streets first developed in ______. A. furniture sellers B. a bad experience
C. Middle Eastern countries D. customers E. North America F. pedestrians
6. In the 1960s, dirty gases from cars made shopping ______.
7. Shopkeepers mistakenly believed that car-free streets would keep away ______. 8. The arrival of the traffic-free shopping street made many ______ lose their business.

How to Be a Successful Businessperson
Have you ever wondered why some people are successful in business and others are not? Here\"s a story about one successful businessperson. He started out washing dishes and today he owns 168 restaurants.
Zubair kazi was born in Bhatkal, a small town in southwest India. His dream was to be an airplane pilot, and when he was 16 years old, he learned to fly a small plane.
At the age of 23 and with just a little money in his pocket, Mr. Kazi moved to the United States. He hoped to get a job in the airplane industry in California. Instead, he ended up working for a company that rented cars.
While Mr. Kazi was working at the car rental (租赁的) company, he frequently ate at a nearby KFC restaurant. To save money on food, he decided to get a job with KFC. For two months, he worked as a cook\"s assistant. His job was to clean the kitchen and help the cook. \"I didn\"t like it,\" Mr. Kazi says, \"but I always did the best I could.\"
One day, Mr. Kazi\"s two co-workers failed to come to work. That day, Mr. Kazi did the work of all three people in the kitchen. This really impressed the owners of the restaurant. A few months later, the owners needed a manager for a new restaurant. They gave the job to Mr. Kazi. He worked hard as the manager and soon the restaurant was making a profit.
A few years later, Mr. Kazi heard about a restaurant that was losing money. The restaurant was dirty inside and the food was terrible. Mr. Kazi borrowed money from a bank and bought the restaurant. For the first six months, Mr. Kazi worked in the restaurant from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., seven days a week. He and his wife cleaned up the restaurant, remodeled the front of the building, and improved the cooking. They also tried hard to please the customers. If someone had to wait more than ten minutes for their food, Mrs. Kazi gave them a free soda. Before long the restaurant was making a profit.
A year later, Mr. Kazi sold his restaurant for a profit. With the money he earned, he bought three more restaurants that were losing money. Again, he cleaned them up, improved the food, and retrained the employees. Before long these restaurants were making a profit, too.
Today Mr. Kazi owns 168 restaurants, but he isn\"t planning to stop there. He\"s looking for more poorly managed restaurants to buy. \"I love it when I go to buy a restaurant and find it\"s a mess,\" Mr. Kazi says, \"The only way it can go is up.\"
1. When Mr. Kazi was young, his dream was to ______. A. be an airplane pilot B. sell cars
C. own a restaurant D. become a good cook
2. Mr. Kazi decided to work with KFC to ______. A. learn how to cook B. save money for a car C. save money on food

One-room Schools
One-room schools are part of the heritage of the United States, and the mention of them makes people feel a vague long for the way things were. One-room schools are an endangered species, however. For more than a hundred years, one-room schools have been systematically shut down and their students sent away to centralized schools. As recently as 1930 there were 149,000 one-room schools in the United States. By 1970 there were 1,800. Today, of nearly 800 remaining one-room schools, more than 350 are in Nebraska. The rest are scattered through a few other states that have on their road maps wide-open spaces between towns.
Now that there are hardly any left, educators are beginning to think that maybe there is something yet to be learned from one-room schools, something that served the pioneers that might serve as well today. Progressive educators **e up with progressive-sounding names like \"peer-group teaching\" and \"multi-age grouping\" for educational procedures that occur naturally in the one-room schools. In a one-room school the children teach each other because the teacher is busy part of the time teaching someone else. A fourth grader can work at a fifth-grade level in math and a third-grade level in English without the stigma associated with being left back or the pressures of being skipped ahead. A youngster with a learning disability can find his or her own level without being separated from the other pupils. In larger urban and suburban schools today, this is called \"main streaming.\" A few hours in a small school that has only one classroom and it becomes clear why so many parents feel that one of the advantages of living in Nebraska is that their children have to go to a one-room school.
1. We learn from the first paragraph that one-room schools ______. A. are the best in Nebraska
B. are becoming more and more centralized
C. have had a strong influence on American people D. need to be shut down
2. One-room schools are in danger of disappearing because ______. A. there has been a trend towards centralization B. they can not get top students
C. they exist only in one state
D. children have to teach themselves
3. A major characteristic of the one-room school system is that ______. A. learning is not limited to one grade level B. pupils mostly study math and English C. some children have to be left back D. teachers are always busy
4. It can be learned from paragraph 2 that many parents in Nebraska ______. A. don\"t like centralized schools B. come from other states
C. received education in one-room schools D. prefer rural life
5. What is the author\"s attitude towards one-room schools? A. Critical. B. Humorous. C. Angry. D. Praising.

\"Lucky\" Lord Lucan--Alive or Dead
On 8th November 1974 Lord Lucan, a British aristocrat (贵族) , vanished. The day before, his children\"s nanny (保姆) had been brutally murdered and his wife had been attacked too. To this day the British public are still interested in the murder case because Lucan has never been found. Now, over 30 years later, the police have reopened the case, hoping that new DNA techniques will help solve this murder mystery.
People suspected that \"Lucky\lived with. They say that Lucan entered his old house and in the dark, killed the nanny by mistake. His estranged wife heard noises, came downstairs and was also attacked, but managed to escape. Seven months after the murder, a jury concluded that Lucan had killed the nanny.
What happened next is unclear, but there are several theories which fall into one of three categories: he may have killed himself, he could have escaped or he might have been killed. It appears that the night after the murder, \"Lucky\" borrowed a car and drove it. Lucan\"s friend Aspinall said in an interview that he thought Lucan **mitted suicide by sinking his boat in the English Channel.
Another version of events says that \"Lucky\" left the blood-soaked car on the coast and took a ferry to France. He was met there by someone who drove him to safety in another country. However, after a time, his rescuers became worried that they would become involved in the murder too and so Lucan was killed.
A further fascinating theory was made in the book Dead Lucky by Duncan MacLaughlin, a former detective. He believes that Lucan travelled to Goa, India, where he assumed the identity of a Mr. Barry Haplin. Lucan then lived in Goa till his death in I996. In the end the claim turned out to be a case of mistaken identity. The man who died in 1996 was really Haplin, an ex-schoolteacher turned hippy. So what is the truth about \"Lucky\"? DNA testing has solved many murder cases, but who knows if it can close the book on this one.
1. The British public are still interested in the murder case because ______. A. the murder was an aristocrat
B. the murder\"s DNA has been found C. the murderer has not been caught D. the murder was a famous man
2. It was suspected that Lucan killed the nanny because ______. A. she was cruel to his children B. she attacked his wife
C. she was mistaken for his wife D. she stole his car
3. Aspinall thought Lucan killed himself ______. A. by sinking his boat B. in a car accident
C. on the night 30 years after the murder D. by jumping into the English Channel
4. According to the version in Paragraph 4, Lucan ______. A. had escaped but was killed faster B. was involved in a murder in France C. was caught in another country D. met his partner on a ferry
5. The word \"assumed\" in the last Paragraph means ______. A. disclosed B. set up C. took on D. changed

Voice Your Opinion--Change is Needed in Youth Sports
Everywhere you look, you see kids bouncing a basketball or waving a tennis racquet (网球拍). And these kids are getting younger and younger. In some countries, children **pete on basketball, baseball, and volleyball teams starting at age nine. 1 And swimming and gymnastics classes begin at age four, to prepare children **petition.
It\"s true that a few of these kids will develop into highly skilled athletes and may even become members of the national Olympic teams. 2 This emphasis on competition in sports is having serious negative effects.
Children who get involved in competitive sports at a young age often grow tired of their sport. Many parents pressure their kids to choose one sport and devote all their time to it. 3 But 66 percent of the young athletes wanted to play more than one sport-for fun.
Another problem is the pressure imposed by **petitive parents and coaches. Children are not **petitive. In fact, a recent study by Paulo David found that most children don\"t even understand the idea of competition until they are seven years old. 4
The third, and biggest, problem for young athletes is the lack of time to do their homework, have
fun, be with friends—in short, time to be kids. When they are forced to spend every afternoon at sports practice, they often start to hate their chosen sport. A searchers found that 70 percent of kids who take part in competitive sports before the of twelve quit before they turn eighteen. 5 **petitiveness takes away all the enjoyment.
Need to remember the purpose of youth sports—to give kids a chance to develop strong, healthy bodies.
A. Survey found that 79 percent of parents of young athletes wanted their children to concentrate on one sports.
B. The young soccer organization has teams for children as young as five. C. Many of **pletely lose interest in sports.
D. Sports for children have two important purposes. E. But what about the others, the average kids?
F. Very young kids don\"t know why their parents are pushing them so hard? 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
