Thankfully, we can get all these anywhere in India now.Still, her answer surprised me: “Green tea.”As far as I can remember, she didn’t even drink Indian tea.I dutifully bought a big packet of Longjing and headed home to hear the story. My mother and her brother, both regular newspaper readers, believed that Chinese green tea was the wonder medicine for all illnesses.At the turn of the century, China was not really familiar to the average India. It was a strange country.How things change! And how soon!Now every to wn of any size seems to have a “China Market”. And everyone is talking about China.The government of India has planned to send a team to China to see how things are done. A minister once said that India must open the doors for more foreign investment and such a step would “work wonders as it did for China”.But it’s a two-way street. I just heard about a thousand Shenzhen office workers who have gone to Bangalore(班加罗尔) to train in software. Meanwhile, all the Indian IT majors are starting to set up more business in China.No wonder that trade, which was only in the millions just ten years ago, is expectedto hit about US $ 15 billion for last year and US $20 billion by 2008, a goal set by both governments.No wonder, my colleague wrote some weeks ago about this being the Sino-Indian （中印）century as the two countries started on January 1 the Sino-Indian Friendship Year.But what is still a wonder to me is my mother drinking Chinese tea.4. What does the author mean by “it’s a two-way street” in Paragraph 10?A. China and India have different traffic rules.B. Tea trade works wonders in both India and China.C. Chinese products are popular in both China and India.D. The exchanges between India and China benefit both.5. What do we know about the Indian IT industry?A. It will move its head office to Shenzhen.B. It is trying to make further development in China.C. It has attracted an investment of US $15 billion.D. It caught up with the US IT industry in 2008.6. In the text the author expresses ______.A. his worry ab out his mother’s healthB. his support for drinking Chinese green teaC. his surprise at China’s recent developmentD. his wonder at the growth of India’s IT industryCHave you ever wanted to be healthier? Get a pet! That is what the experts are saying. There are many advantages to owning a pet, no matter whether it is a cat, dog, or horse.Some new parents are often in a rush to get rid of their pets when a baby is expected. Yet, studies have shown that having a pet at home actually reduces a child’s likelihood of developing certain kinds of diseases. In one study, a researcher studied 300 new-born babies and tested them again a year later. He found that if they had a dog at home the children had up to 33% fewer allergies (过敏症). In addition, the children had stronger immune systems (免疫系统) when compared to the babies of homes with no pets.In another study, researchers tested nearly 4,500 people. They found that cat owners who spent time stroking (抚摸) their cats suffered 40% fewer heart attacksthan those who did not own a cat. Some other studies also found that pet owners suffered less serious from depression (沮丧) than non-pet owners.Horses have long been used in treatments for disabled people, both physically and mentally. Not only does the movement of the horse help people with physical problems, but the calming influence of the animals has a positive effect on them, too. Amazing changes have been noted in disabled people who are lucky enough to receive these treatments.From cats to horses, having a pet can really have positive effects on our health.7. What does the underlined word in the second paragraph probably mean?A. Degree.B. Possibility.C. Opportunity.D. Decision.8. From the second and third paragraphs, we can infer that ______.A. having a pet at home makes a baby weakB. the children in home without a dog may have strong immune systemC. non-pet owners may easily suffer from depression than pet ownersD. keeping a pet cat is better than keeping a pet dog9. What is the main idea of the fourth paragraph?A. How to raise a horse.B. The way of keeping healthy.C. How horses benefit disabled people.D. How to treat disabled people.10. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?A. New parents sometimes refuse to have a pet when they have a baby.B. If you want to keep healthy, do nothing but keep a pet.C. Cat owners suffer more heart attacks than others.D. Horses can cure the problems of disabled people.DCell phone use has become more and more common among high school students, but a clear decision hasn’t yet been reached on their appropriate use in schools.Cell phones, supporters say, are useful to both parents and students. In addition, cell phones can be lifesavers in an emergency, providing police with important and timely information. Some teachers also point out that cell phones have academic uses. Older students can conduct phone interviews during class time with teacher supervision, for instance. Also, many cell phones now have Internet capability, built-in calculators, and memories able to hold entire books. For schools with limited technologies available to students, cell phones can be used as computers.But some argue that the disadvantages outweigh the benefits. The primary concernis that cell phones take students’ attention away f rom their study. Even though most schools require that phones be turned off during school hours, such a rule is difficult to enforce; for instance , students who leave class for a bathroom break could use the phone while out of the room. Should a phone ring in class, the entire classroom is disrupted and teachers report that many students will answer the call. Cheating and inappropriate photos are also concerns related to cell phones. Teachers have caught high school students taking pictures of tests to pass along to students in later classes, for instance, or accessing photos of textbook pages or notes during tests. Inappropriate photos taken in dressing room and restrooms have also become a problem in some schools. Many school systems have banned camera phones while still allowing traditional cell phones.Cell phones have become a permanent part of society. But keeping up with technological advances is not easy. Schools need guidelines to govern inappropriate cell phone use. Teachers should post school and classroom policies regarding cell phones, and the class should discuss these policies at the beginning of the school year.11.

Cell phones are financial burdens to students.D. Students use cell phones to cheat during tests.14. By saying the underlined sentence in the last paragraph, what does the writermean?A. It’s not easy to keep up with modern technological developments.B. Cell phone technology has improved rapidly in the past few years.C. Cell phones have more functions because of technological advances.D. It’s not easy to pre vent inappropriate cell phone use among students.15.
