A
They are the sort of friends who are so close they trust each other with their lives.If one falls, the other is there to catch him.
They are Wellman, whose legs were permanently injured nine years ago in a rock-climbing accident, and Corbett, an experienced rock climber.Together, they climbed up Half Dome, the famous 2，000-foot rock in the Yosemite National Park, through one of the most difficult routes (路线)．
During the climb, Corbett took the lead, hit in the metal spikes (尖状物) that guided the ropes and climbed up.Then, after Wellman pulled himself up the rope, Corbett went down to remove the spikes and climbed up again.This process was repeated time and again, inch by inch, for 13 days.
Wellman's job was not easy either.He got himself up the rope through upper body strength alone.In all, Wellman figured that he had done 5，000 pull-ups up the rope on the climb.
However, when the two men first met, they never talked about climbing.“He knew that was how I got injured，” Wellman said.Until one day Wellman decided that he wanted to climb again and they started training.
Their climb of Half Dome was not all smooth.At one point, pieces of rock gave way, and Corbett dropped down quickly.Wellman locked their rope in place, stopping the fall at 20 feet.His quick action probably saved his friend's life.
“Your partner can save your life — you can save your partner's life，” Wellman said as the pair received congratulations from friends.“There are real close ties.”

Your friend might be in Australia or maybe just down the road, but they are all just a few clicks away. Life has changed for millions of children across the world who now make friends online. Whether you use chat-rooms (聊天室), QQ, MSN or ICQ, you are part of virtual community (虚拟社会)．
“I seldom talk with my parents or grandparents, but I talk a lot with my old friends on QQ，” said Fox's Shadow, the online nickname used by a Senior 2 girl in China.“Eighty percent of my classmates use QQ after school.”
QQ is the biggest messaging service in China.Four million people used it one Saturday night in October, according to Tencent, the company which developed QQ.
And Fox's Shadow might well have been one of them.“I log_in on Friday nights, and Saturdays or Sundays when I feel bored.I usually spend about 10 hours chatting online every week，”she said, “But I hardly talk with strangers, especially boys or men.”
Even though she likes chatting, she is careful about making friends with strangers online.“You don't know who you are talking to.You should always be careful about who you trust online.”
Many people would like to meet offline when they feel they have got to know someone very well.Fox's Shadow once met one of her online friends face to face.It was a girl who was a comic (喜剧) fan like herself and they went to a comic show together.
A 16-year-old Beijing boy, known online as Bart Simon, dislikes QQ users.“I used to chat on QQ, but I found that most people were talking about useless things，” he said.Now he chats online in English, using MSN.“I only chat online because I've got friends in Japan, the USA and Singapore，” he said, “I want to learn more about foreign cultures.”But he spends little time chatting as he sees it as a waste of time and money.
“If you are really addicted (沉迷) to it, sometimes you can't listen carefully in class，” he said, “And the friends in your real life are always more important than those so-called friends you meet online.”
5．How many messaging services have been mentioned in the passage?
A．2. B．3.
C．4 D．5
6．What's the meaning of the phrase “log i n” in the fourth paragraph?
A．Take off. B．Get online.
C．Set out. D．Set up.
7．What is the BEST title of the passage?
A．Chat Online
B．Caught in the Web
C．Do You Know Messaging Service
D．QQ, MSN and ICQ
8．According to this passage, which friends are more important?
A．Friends you meet online.
B．Foreign friends.
C．Friends in your real life.
D．Friends we meet offline.
C
America is a mobile society.Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon if situations change.Neither side feels hurt by this.Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while － then no more.If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship.This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us flower more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending (延伸) sometimes deeply into both families.
Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life.They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality (好客) easily.
Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don't show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time. This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous_with_our_time．
Sometimes, we, as hosts, will appear at the airport even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends. The Americans, however, express their welcome usually at homes, but truly can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine. They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus. And they expect that we will phone them from there. Once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real. We will find ourselves treated hospitably.
For the Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for purely business matters. So accept their hospitality at home!
9．The writer of this passage must be a(n)________．
A．American B．Chinese
C．professor D．student
10．The underlined words “generous with our time” in Paragraph 3 probably mean “________”．
A．strict with time B．serious with time
C．careful with time D．willing to spend time
11．A suitable title for this passage would probably be “________”．
A．Friendships between Chinese
B．Friendships between Americans
C．Americans' hospitality
D．Americans' and Chinese's views of friendships

选修6 Unit 1 Art-Reading A SHORT HISTORY OF WESTERN PAINTING Art is influenced by the customs and faith of a people. Styles in Western art have changed many times. As there are so many different styles of Western art, it would be impossible to describe all of them in such a short text. Consequently, this text will describe only the most important ones, starting from the sixth century AD. The Middle Ages (5th to the 15th century AD) During the Middle Ages, the main aim of painters was to represent religious themes. A conventional artist of this period was not interested in showing nature and people as they really were. A typical picture at this time was full of religious symbols, which created feeling of respect and love for God. But it was evident that ideas were changing in the 13th century when painters like Giotto di Bondone began to paint religious scenes in a more realistic way. The Renaissance (15th to 16th century) During the Renaissance, new ideas and values graduallv replaced those held in the Middle Ages.People began to concentrate less on religious themes and adopt a more humanistic attitude to life. At the same time painters returned to classical Roman and Greek ideas about art. They tried to paint people and nature as they really were. Rich people wanted to possess t heir own paintings, so they could decorate their superb palaces and great houses. They paid famous artists to paint pictures of themselves, their houses and possessions as well as their activities and achievements. One of the most important discoveries during this period was how to draw things in perspective. This technique was first used by Masaccio in 1428. When people first saw his paintings, they were convinced that they were looking through a hole in a wall at a real scene. If the roles of perspective had not been discovered, no one would have been able to paint such realistic pictures. By coincidence, oil paints were also developed at this time, which made the colours used in paintings look richer and deeper. Without the new paints and the new technique, we would not be able to see the many great masterpieces for which this period is famous. Impressionism (late 19th to early 20th century) In the late 19th century, Europe changed a great deal. from a mostly agricultural society to a mostly industrial one. Many people moved from the countryside to the new cities. There were many new inventions and social changes. Naturally, these changes also led to new painting styles. Among the painters who broke away from the traditional style of painting were the Impressionists, who lived and worked in Paris.

Period 2: FUNCTION—Talking about obligation or lack of obligation Objectives To learn to talking about obligation or lack of obligation ●Procedures ▇ Warming up by learning about what is obligation Hello, class. We shall learn to talk about “obligation” or lack of “obligation”. But first what is “obligation” ? It is a noun, meaning 1. A moral or legal duty or tie. 2. The binding power of such a duty or tie. 3. A debt of gratitude for a service. Example: be under obligation to her If you have not signed a contract, you are under no obligation to (= it is not necessary to) pay them any money. You have a legal obligation to (= The law says you must) ensure your child receives a proper education. I haven't got time to do his work for him - I've got too many obligations as it is. A tender conscience is a stronger obligation than a prison. Every man has obligations which belong to his station. Duties extend beyond obligation, and direct the affections, desires, and intentions, as well as the actions. ■Ta lking about obligation or lack of obligation ◆100% necessity: You must leave straight away. You have [got] to leave straight away. must v. have [got] to
