A
A common question asked by my students is “How can we make our English more standard?” This is often followed by “ Should we study American or British spoken English?”
Before trying to answer these questions I ask them to consider English in the context of contemporary China. Over its long history the Chinese languages developed into many different dialects. It would be just as difficult for native Shanghai and Beijing people to understand each other as it would be for, say, an Englishman and a Frenchman unfamiliar to each other’s tongue.
The Chinese have solved this problem by using one dialect as the standard for the whole country. The widespread use of putonghua is a great achievement of modern China.
Even the greatest admirer of European integration would not dream that in 50 years the citizens of Europe will be using a single language for their day to day learning and business.
The concept of “standard “ Chinese is so firmly rooted in the nation’s consciousness that it introduces a misunderstanding of the way English operates.
The plain fact is this---there is no single standard English.
In one future the world will speak with one voice: an American accent. In the other, existing cultures will make English their own. Regional accents will promote identities, retaining the characteristics of their own language.
English will continue to develop and will be kept lively by the varied peoples who use it.

American magician David Blaine left the glass box in which he has lived for 44 days without food on October 19. Hundreds of people came to watch the end of his starvation experiment, which has become one of London’s main tourist attractions.
Looking thinner and darker, 30-year-old Blaine was taken out of his box over the River Thames and immediately went to hospital. He was then slowly reintroduced to food, which is a process the doctors said could be life threatening. He had been drinking only water since September 5.

“ I think a lot of people are unable to accept that they’re able to do what they can do,” he said. “ They don’t realize we can survive. The human being is an amazing creation.”.
But he seems to have suffered from spending so long in the glass box. He said that at times he was unable to see, had serious back pains and lost his sense of taste.

Bill Geates was born on October 28, 1955 in a wealthy family in Seattle.
He was a naughty but gifted child. At the age of 13, he began programming in the BASIC language. By the time he was 17, Gates had sold his first program—a school scheduling(安排) system, which brought him $4,200.
Microsoft’s big break came in 1980. That year, Gates and his young comrades, who usually cared little about their dresses and appeared to be like some big boys at that time, signed an agreement to provide operating system MS-DOS for International Business Machines’ new personal computer.
The managers at IBM never knew what hit them.
In March 1986, Microsoft stock (股票)went public in one of the most properly planned of offerings of its time. By the next year, the company’s on-going stock price had made Gates the youngest self-made billionaire at age 31. and Gates, the world’s wealthiest man, built the Microsoft Empire (帝国)thanks to his “architect” genius(天才) by developing the Windows Operating System.
Microsoft fell behind Netscape in developing a commercial Internet browser(浏览器). But it later gained the upper hand in the browser market after a battle that, some of its competitors said, showed that it was monopoly (垄断).
Bill Gates announced his move from the CEO of Microsoft last year, when he was 44, to a new job as chief software architect, mainly working on software development. Immediately again Bill Gates became the world-wide front page topic but this time no one could tell what this “Gates” would lead to.
39. From the passage we know that Bill Gates ______________.
A. never had a chance to go to university
B. once studied at Harvard university
C. graduated from Harvard University
D. did not finish his study at university
40. the most important turning-point in Bill Gates’s life was __________.

B. his first school scheduling system
C. his study of the BASIC language
D. that he was a genius in architect
41. In the beginning, it was IBM that __________.
A. made a very serious mistake about Microsoft and its MS-DOS system
B. supported Microsoft to develop its operating system MS-DOS
C. helped Microsoft to develop into a big company
D. agreed to provide MS_DOS system for Microsoft
42. Bill Gates is not longer the CEO of Microsoft, _____________.
A. which means he is too old for the job
B. which is what most people would like to see
C. so he is no longer the important part in the development of IT industry
D. no one could tell what he is going to do
D
Every day millions of letters go from one country to another. Letters mailed in Italy are received in Japan. Letters mailed in Canada are recveived in Africa. On the letters are many different kinds of stamps, bought in different countries.
The Universal Postal Union helps each letter get to the right place as quickly as possible. It sets up rules about the size and weight of letters, postcards, and small packages. It has rules that all countries must follow about international postal rates.
One hundred years ago international mail did not move so smoothly. One country did not always accept another country’s letters. Letters from some countries were too large to fit into the mailboxes of other countries. Letters traveled by many different routes. Some were lost along the way.
Sometimes the person who sent the letter could pay only part of the postage. The person receiving the letter had to pay the rest. The United States was the first to suggest that all countries work together to settle the questions of international mail. In 1874, men from twenty four countries met in Switzerland to form the Universal postal Union.
Today, more than 120 nations belong to this union. From its office in Switzland, the union helps the mail to move safely and quickly around the world.
43. It’s known to all that mail is important to _________ country/countries.
A. some
B. all
C. one
D. a

Now more and more young people are studying abroad. They go to some advanced countries for studying, such as U.S.A., the Great Britain and Canada.
Some people think that studying abroad benefits young people in some ways. Studying abroad offers young people chances of better education.
