7、Pub hours shake-up revealed next week
By James Hardy Political Editor
PUBS and clubs will be allowed to stay open round-the-clock under a planned radical change of Britain's outdated licensing(许可证发放)laws.
Prime Minister Tony Blair yesterday revealed a Bill(议案)to bring in the long-awaited improvement will be contained in the Queen's Speech next week.Some public bars and clubs could be open all hours while others could choose different closing times into the early hours.
Police forces around the country have said different closing times will mean the explosion in violence and vandalism(破坏行为)after 11p.m.-when aggressive drunks are sent out at the same time.
The move will be opposed by some MPs(下院议员)who fear it will lead to increased alcoholism,drunken behavior and crime.But ministers say there will be controls on which pubs and clubs are allowed to open 24 hours a day.
Places which consistently attract violent drunks and troublemakers will be turned down.
Mr.Blair said:"We believe there should be greater flexibility in licensing.In the end,the evidence that we have is that it may help in the fight against anti-social behavior.At the moment the very fixed nature of the hours sometimes means that you get particular problems outside pubs and city centers at particular hours of the evening."
The big change will be accompanied by a strict action on petty criminals who cause misery to urban and rural communities.
In a bid to prevent criticism of the licensing improvement,the Govenment is to extend on-the-spot fines to a range of offences from vandalism.
The PM said yesterday petty crime was the single biggest cause of daily aggressive behavior for millions.
Some people say that when this law is passed,__
A、everybody will be happy
B、criminal actions will increase
C、criminal actions will be forgotten
D、everybody will be angry

8、When I was about 12 1 had an enemy,a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings.Week by week her list grew:I was skinny,I wasn't a good student,I was boyish,I talked too loud,and so on.I put up with her as long as I could.At last,with great anger,I ran to my father in tears.
He listened to my outburst quietly.Then he asked,"Are the things she says true or not?"
True?I wanted to know how to strike back.What did truth have to do with it?
"Mary,didn't you ever wonder what you are really like?Well,you now have that girl's opinion.Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true.Pay no attention to the other things she said."
I did as he directed and discovered to my surprise that about half the things were true.Some of them I couldn't change(like being skinny),but a good number I could and suddenly wanted to change.
For the first time in my life I got a fairly clear picture of myself.
I brought the list back to Daddy.He refused to take it.
"That's just for you,"he said."You know better than anybody else the truth about yourself,once you hear it.But you've got to learn to listen,not to close your ears in anger or hurt.When something said about you is true you'll know it.You'll find that it will echo inside you."
Daddy's advice has returned to me at many important moments.
Why did the girl's father ask her to make the list?
A、He wanted to keep the list at hom
B、He didn't know what the girl's enemy had sai
C、He wanted the girl to talk bac
D、He wanted her to check if she really had these weak point

9、The first true piece of sports equipment that man invented was the ball.
In ancient Egypt,as everywhere,pitching stones was a favorite children's game.But a badly thrown rock could hurt a child.Looking for something less dangerous to throw,the Egyptians made what were probably the first balls.
At first,balls were made of grass or leaves held together by vines.Later they were made of piece of animal skin sewed together and stuffed with feathers or hay.
Even though the Egyptians were warlike,they found time for peaceful games.Before long they had developed a number of ball games,each with its own set of rules.Perhaps they played ball more for instruction than for fun.Ball playing was thought of mainly as a way to teach young men the speed and skill they would need for war.
The Egyptians thought that ball playing was__.
A、childish
B、difficult
C、not enjoyable
D、worthwhile
(  B  )
10、Some people do not like anything to be out of place;they are never late for work;they return their books on time to the library;they remember people's birthdays;and they pay their bills as soon as they arrive.Mr.Hill is such a man.
Mr.Hill works in a bank,and lives alone.The only family he has is in the next town:his sister lives there with her husband,and her son,Jack.Mr.Hill does not see his sister,or her family,from one year to the next,but he sends them Christmas cards,and he has not forgotten one of Jack's seventeen birthdays.
Last week Mr.Hill had quite a surprise.He drove home from the bank at the usual time,driving neither too slowly nor too fast;he parked his car where he always parked it,out of the way of other cars,and he went inside to make his evening meal.Just then,there was a knock at the door.He opened the door,to find a policeman standing on the door-step.
"What have I done wrong?"Mr.Hill asked himself."Have I driven on the wrong side of the road?Has there been some trouble at the bank?Have I forgotten to pay an important bill?"

11、Key James,Secretary of Health and Human Resources in the Virginia State government,loves to turn the tables on those who don't think it's possible to be middle-class,conservative,educated and still be truly black.Once,during an abortion debate,a woman in the audience angrily told James she was so middle-class she didn't have a clue about real African American life."If you understood what these women go through,"the woman said,"you would realize that abortion is their only choice."

"Have an abortion,"the woman responded."That child would have a very poor quality of life."

13、If you want to stay young,sit down and have a good think.This is the research result of professor Faulkner,who says that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise and as a result,we are ageing unnecessarily soon.
Professor Faulkner wanted to find out why healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and to reason at a relatively early age,and how the process of ageing could be slowed down.
He set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages and occupations.
Computer technology enabled him to obtain precise measurements of the volume of the front and side sections of the brain,which relate to intelligence and emotion,and determine the human character.
Contraction of front and side parts--as cells die off--was observed in some subjects in their thirties,but it was still not evident in some sixty-and seventy-year-olds.
Faulkner concluded from his tests that there is a simple way to slow the contraction—using the head.
The findings show that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in the towns.Those least at risk,says Faulkner,are lawyers,followed by university professors and doctors.White--collar workers doing routine work are,however,as likely to have shrinking brains as the farm worker,bus driver and shop assistant.
Faulkner's findings show that thinking can prevent the brain from shrinking.Blood must circulate properly in the head to supply the fresh oxygen the brain cells need."The best way to maintain good blood circulation is through using the brain,"he says."Think hard and engage in conversation.Don't rely on pocket calculators."
The professor's tests show that__.
A、our brains shrink as we grow old
B、the front section of the brain does not shrink
C、seventy-year-olds have better brains than sixty-year-olds
D、brain contraction may vary among people of the same age
(  C  )
