3. Passage 9 What are you going to do if you are in a burning house? How will you escape? Do you know how to save yourself? Please read the following passage. Escaping a fire is a serious matter. Knowing what to do during a fire can save your life. It is important to know the ways you can use and show them to everyone in the family， such as stairways and fire escapes， but not lifts. From the lower floors of the buildings， escaping through windows is possible， learn the best way of leaving by windows with the last chance of serious injury. The second floor window is usually not very high from the ground. An average person， hanging by the finger-tips will have a drop of about six feet to the ground. It is about the height of an average man. Of course， it is safer to jump a short way than to stay in a burning building. Windows are also useful when you are waiting for help. Be sure to keep the door closed. Or smoke and fire may be drawn into the room. Keep your head low at the window to be sure you get fresh air rather than smoke that may leak into the room. On a second or third floor， the best windows for escape are those that open onto a roof. From the roof a person can drop to the ground more safely. Dropping onto cement might end in injury. Bushes and grass can help to break a fall. Which of the following escaping way is NOT right?

A. 　You can escape through stairways.

B. 　You can choose the fire escapes.

C. 　Escape from the windows that open onto a roof.

D. 　Use a lift to come down at once.

2. Passage 4 Do you know who Benjamin Banneker was and what he did? Benjamin Banneker was a self-educated scientist at a time when most African Americans were slaves. Born a free black man in the British Colony of Maryland in 1731， he received some formal education， but he mostly borrowed books and taught himself science and mathematics. At 22， he borrowed a pocket watch， and without any training， figured out how to carve a working wooden clock that chimed each hour. Because of this clock， he became well known and people would visit him just to see his creation. Banneker ran his family farm from many years， but when he was in his late 50s， a neighbor‘s son lent him a telescope. He became interested in astronomy， the study of the planets and stars， and again taught himself a new science. He made calculations of tides， sunrises and sunsets， and even predicted an eclipse. For several years he published an almanac of these calculations. Today， he is best known for publishing six almanacs， called ―Benjamin Banneker‘s Almanac‖ between 1792 and 1797. In the 1790s， Banneker also helped survey and lay out the land for Washington， D. C.， which became the nation‘s capital. For a look at Banneker‘s amazing life， visit the Benjamin Banneker Historical Park & Museum in Ellicott City， Maryland. What subjects did Benjamin teach himself?

A. 　Science and mathematics.

B. 　Science， mathematics and astronomy.

C. 　Astronomy only.

D. 　Six Almanac.

10、Translation 10 If you are feeling that life just cannot be any worse for you， it can be challenging to think positive thoughts. When we are stressed， depressed， upset， or otherwise in a negative state of mind because we perceive that “bad things” keep happening to us， it is important to shift those negative thoughts to something positive. If you start with one small， positive thing and repeat it during the course of your day， you will begin to move into a more positive situation: positive thoughts， feelings， opportunities and people will start showing up in your life. With practice， you will find that over time， you will change your outlook and choose to be happy， regardless of the events around you.

4. Passage 17 Since we are social beings， the quality of our lives depends in large measure on our interpersonal relationships. One strength of the human conditions is our tendency to give and receive support from one another under stressful circumstances. Social support consists of the exchange of resources among people based on their interpersonal ties. Those of us with strong support systems appear better able to cope with life changes and daily hassles. People with strong social ties live longer and have better health than those without such ties. Studies over a range of illnesses， from depression to heart disease， reveal that the presence of social support helps people fend off illness， and the absence of such support makes poor health likely. Social support cushions stress in a number of ways. First， friends， relatives， and co-workers may let us know that they value us. Our self-respect is strengthened when we feel accepted by others despite our faults and difficulties. Second， other people often provide us with informational support. They help us to define and understand our problems and find solutions to them. Third， we typically find social companionship supportive. Engaging in leisure-time activities with others helps us to meet our social needs while at the same time distracting us from our worries and troubles. Finally， other people may give us instrumental support ― financial aid， material resources and needed services — that reduces stress by helping us resolve and cope with our problems. Helping a sick neighbor with some repair work is an example of( ).

A. 　informational support

B. 　social companionship

C. 　instrumental support

D. 　the strengthening of self-respect

4. Passage 20 Clifford Stoll ran a computer system in Berkelely， California. As a system administrator， he kept a close eye on the records. One day， Stoll found something strange in the payment record. There was a 75 cents mistake. One of the thousands of users had used the system for 75 worth of time and not paid for it. It might sound like very little money to worry about. But that 75 cents was the first clue Stoll had to a much bigger problem — that a hacker(黑客)had broken into Stoll‘s computer system. Who was it? Stoll spent the next year trying to find out. During that time the hacker used the system in Berkelely as a starting point to break into military computer systems all over the United States. Stoll had to keep track of the hacker‘s activities on the computer without the hacker‘s knowing someone was watching him. Stoll even made up huge files of false information so the hacker would have lots to read. When the hacker spent long time reading， the telephone company was able to trace the lines. After a year， the hacker was traced back to his computer — in Germany. He was later caught by the German police. What did Stoll decide to do when he found the problem?

A. 　To report to the police.

B. 　To warn the telephone company.

C. 　To track down the hacker by himself.

D. 　To see what the hacker would do next.
