W: Yes, I remember. Do you want to make any changes in your will?
M: I don't think that will be necessary, but you'll tell me if it is. I left everything, you remember, to my wife, and after her death, to my son Jerry.

Well, I'm earning a good salary now, and I can live fairly comfortably with this extra income. I want to buy some land and build a house for my son; he will need a house when he gets married. I'm thinking of building one and giving it to him

M: Jerry was in Edinburgh last Saturday and saw a plot he likes. My wife and I went there two days ago, and we liked it, too. I'd like you to make the necessary inquiries for me.
W: I'd be pleased to do that. I shall have to write to the Local Authority and inquire whether it is allowed to build a house on your piece of land. You're not allowed to build a house without permission from the Planning Authority. And sometimes the Authority decides that a house must be built of stone, and not of brick, so that it doesn't spoil the surrounding village.

Questions 22—25
22. Why are so many people dependent on cigarette?
[A] Because they like the taste of tar.
[B] Because smoking makes them feel relaxed.
[C] Because smoking is fanny.
[D] Because smoking cures disease.
23. Which substance in cigarette causes cancer?
[A] Cigarette ashes.
[B] Nicotine.
[C] Tar.
[D] Not mentioned here.
24. What do experts suggest people to do?
[A] To buy cigarettes with less tar.
[B] To smoke only a few cigarette a day.
[C] To smoke only during a break.
[D] To give up smoking.
25. Why do smokers like low tar cigarettes?
[A] Because they are less harmful.
[B] Because they cost less.
[C] Because they taste better.
[D] Because they last longer.
Why do people smoke? One reason is that people become dependent on cigarettes. The substance which people cannot resist in cigarettes is nicotine. When people smoke the nicotine goes directly into the blood stream and makes people feel relaxed. A smoker's body gets accustomed to the nicotine and if he stop smoking he feels nervous. Many smokers try to stop smoking but because of their dependence on nicotine they feel so uncomfortable that they often find it too hard to stop.
Another reason is that people simply enjoy smoking and what it symbolizes. Having a cigarette for many people means taking a break. For some people smoking becomes part of certain social forms, for example, the cigarette after dinner. Many people enjoy smoking because it makes their hands busy.
Many people also like the taste of tar in cigarette. However, it is the tar that causes cancer. While governments and health experts have tried to make people give up smoking entirely, cigarette manufacturers have to keep selling them by producing cigarette with less tar. Many people in western countries have welcomed these cigarettes since they find it difficult to stop smoking but want to reduce its risk.

Five-year-old Elia arrived at school with a big box of colored pencils. Her friend, Anna, offered to exchange her set of markers for the brand-new pencils. Elia agreed, but soon discovered. that the markers were dried up. "That's not fair!" cried Elia to her teacher. "I want my new pencils back." After some tears and negotiation, the teacher helped the girls set things right by returning the items to their original owners.
Later that day, at story time, the teacher shared the picture book classicA Bargain for Frances. Though the conflict in the story is just over a broken tea set, the message about fair play was not lost on the children. The book was helpful in exploring a small, yet significant, life lesson.
Stories are vital to the way we process and experience life events and the feelings that surround us. The ability to create, share, and respond to stories is one of the vital characteristics of being human. In fact, the human brain is programmed to see patterns and become fascinated in the plot development of stories, finally storing them in long-term memory. As a result, the brain is a remarkably effective processor of stories, both real and fictional.
High-quality picture books are a good blend of art and literature that attracts kids" imagination and communicates an idea in an effective way. These books are perfect teaching tools, as they deal with the powerful emotions that kids feel, model effective coping strategies, and present complex concepts in appropriate ways. In addition, according to brain research, the picture book complements words with what leaves the most permanent impression: images. The pictures in books are distinctive from the fleeting images kids see on television in that they remain on the page, ready to be revisited, touched, and commented upon.
Whether we share stories about families, historical events, or emotions, stories are away to sum up life's memorable moments and lasting lessons. We can control the power of literature and use it to develop positive character in young kids by reading often, choosing suitable books, and enjoying stories together.

Text 2
We have heard a lot about the health benefits of tea, especially green tea. It is high in poly-phenols, compounds with strong antioxidant activity that in test-tube and animal models show anti-cancer and heart-protective effects. Good clinical studies are few, however, and although physicians tell their patients to drink green tea, there hasn't been any definite proof of the value of that advice.
A team of Japanese researchers was able to link green tea consumption with decreased mortality from many causes—including heart disease. The researchers tracked 40,530 healthy adults ages 40 to 79 in a region of northeastern Japan where most people drink green tea, following them for up to 11 years. Those who drank five or more cups of green tea a day had significantly lower mortality rates than those who drank less than one cup a day. There were also fewer deaths from cardiovascular disease.
But no such association was seen with deaths from cancer. Nor was consumption of oolong or black tea connected with any decrease in mortality. Those teas are easier to be combined with oxygen in processing, which not only darkens the color of the leaves and changes their flavor but also reduces their polyphenol content.
Coffee is more complicated. It has received both gold stars and black marks in medical literature. It, too, contains antioxidants, although they are less well studied than tea polyphenols. Evidence for the health benefits of coffee is growing, however. A group of investigators from Finland, Italy and the Netherlands reports that coffee seems to protect against age-related decline in mental capacity. The scientists studied 676 healthy men born from 1900 to 1920 and followed them for 10 years, using standardized measures of brain function. Their conclusion: the men who consumed coffee had significantly less decline in mental capacity than those who didn't. Three cups a day seemed to provide the most protection.
Population studies like those help us form assumptions about relationships between dietary habits and long-term health. We still have to test our suppositions in controlled conditions, and measure the effects of coffee and tea on various systems of the body.
31. Physicians often tell their patients to drink green tea because . _
____
[A] its medical value has been proved
[B] it is believed to be good for one's health
[C] it has long since been used clinically
[D] its effectiveness has been shown in animals
32. The Japanese study seems to have confirmed the positive effect of green tea on . __
___
[A] young adults
[B] Asian people
[C] patients with cancer
[D] patients with heart disease
33. The text indicates that black tea differs from green tea in that . _
____
[A] it can retain the color of its leaves
[B] it can reduce cancer-related deaths
[C] it contains less polyphenol content
[D] it is stronger in flavor than the latter
34. Coffee is beneficial to one's health because .
__
___
[A] it has more antioxidants than green tea
[B] it slows down the rate of brain aging
[C] it lowers the rate of natural mortality
[D] it keeps systems of the body active
35. The text indicates that the relationships between dietary habits and long-term health . _
____
[A] are a falsely perceived supposition
[B] are a conflicting issue among people
[C] deserve further scientific research
[D] deserve to be tested on a larger population

Read the texts from a magazine section called "Letters" in which five people wrote about on-line shopping. For questions 36-40, match the name of each person to one of the statements (A-G) given below. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET 1.
Jennifer:
In your article about online shopping being the newest and easiest way to shop, you said that computers will replace shopping malls sooner or later because they make buying thing s faster and cheaper. But don't you think that the entire point of shopping is to spend leisure time with friends while doing something necessary. Shopping is not just a quick task. It is, in fact, an entire way of life.
Paul:
I am a great collector of all manner of hard-to-find items such as out-of-print books and antiques. Purchasing in physical stores would mean round-the-world travel and years of effort. I can get the same result in a few hours on eBay, and often at bargain prices. I am quite well-off, but buy very few consumer items available in regular shops. I have many friends and acquaintances with the same approach.
Mike:
My wife buys online often. I have not complaints or dissatisfaction. She can compare with different online vendors" prices after she has decided what she wants. It's delivered to the door, a big time savings and gas savings. If I need something, I check online first and see what it costs and then decide where to buy, local stores or online. Online has the advantage most of the time.
Henry:
Virtually all online stores make you register. But, I don't need another username and pass word to remember. I will only buy online if I cannot find something locally. Even though shipping is fast, I'd rather drive across town and pay more to be able to bring home a new gadget the same day. And, most of the time, there is no difference in price between local stores and online stores.
Jeff:
If you think the prices are the same online as they are locally, you're dealing with the wrong online retailers. I'm an online shopping veteran and I always save quite a bit on my large-dollar purchases. With a little research experience, I've easily saved thousands of dollars over the last several years. Besides, shipping on most items is reasonable and you don't even pay taxes 99.9% of the time.
Now match the name of each person (36-40) to the appropriate statement.
Nate: there are two extra statements.

"Any apples today?" Effie asked cheerfully at my window. I followed her to her truck and bought a kilo. On credit, of course. " 41___
" Pay me whenever you like," said Effie, climbing back into her truck.
All pretense of payment was dropped when our funds, food and fuel decreased to alarming lows. Effie came often, always bringing some gift: a jar of peaches or some firewood. There were other generosities. Our baby was not doing well, so Effie financed my wife's trip to New York for consultation with a specialist.
42___
Her income, derived from investments she had made while running an interior decorating shop, had never exceeded $200 a month, which she supplemented by selling her apples. But she always managed to help someone poorer.
Years passed before I was able return the money Effie had given me from time. She was ill now and had aged rapidly in the last year. "Here, daring," I said, "is what I owe you." 'don't give it to me all at once," she said. " 43___
" I think she believed there was magic in the slow discharge of a love debt.
The simple fact is that I never repaid the whole amount to Effie, for she died a few weeks later. 44___
But a curious thing began to happen.
Whenever I saw a fellow human in financial trouble, I was moved to help him. I can't afford to do this always, but in the ten years since Effie's death, I have indirectly repaid my debt to her.
The oddest part of the whole affair is that people whom I help often help others later on. 45___

[B] Give your help to those in greater need.
[C] Effie was not a rich woman.
[D] Effie worked diligently all her life,
[E] Cash was the one thing in the world I lacked just then.
[F] By now, the few dollars Effie gave me have been multiplied many times.
[G] Give it back as I gave it to you —a little at a time.

Lori Schneider knows a few things about fear. "We were crossing a ridge that dropped off 8,000 feet on both sides," says the 53 year old climber of ascending Mount Everest last spring." The wind was blowing at 60 miles an hour. If there was ever a moment to panic, this was it."
But she didn't. An hour later, she reached the peak—the last step in her personal challenge to scale the highest mountains on all seven continents.
Ten years earlier, she'd come face-to-face with a different type of fear, when she was unable to feel anything in the right side of her body. After learning she had multiple sclerosis (MS)—a serious illness that gradually makes a person weak and unable to move or see, she left her marriage, job, and home;"I ran from my whole life."
It was just before climbing South America's Mount Aconcagua in 2000 that she set her sights on the Seven Summits. After training by pulling 50-pound bags of dog food up the ski slopes near her home, she topped Europe's Mount Elbrus in 2002, North America's McKinley in 2006, and Australia's Kosciuszko and Antarctica's Vinson Massif in 2008.She'd scaled Africa's Kilimanjaro in 1993. That left Asia's Everest, the highest of all.
And there she stood, on a ridge at 28,800 feet. "When I trained, I told myself to take one step at a time by spelling out words," she says. "So I spelled out,don't let fear in. It got her to the top.
She's the first person with MS to conquer the Seven Summits. With her condition stable, she plans a return to Kilimanjaro—this time with 15 other with MS by her side.
Lori Schneider, a 53-year-old woman, is the first person with multiple sclerosis to scale the highest mountains on the Seven Summits. It's a process of self-chanllege. It's not easy even for an able-bodied man. The way how she overcame fear deserves our attention.
In the first place, we should learn how to stay calm under unfavorable situations. Fear always brings panic which is a torture not only to your body but to your mentality. And this kind of negative emotions would cut the chance for overcoming the dilemma.
Psychological hint is a good way to get over the fear. Just as Lori Schneider did, you can repeat to yourself 'don't let fear in." Asking for help is another way which may be beneficial. We should think over the situation and determine what we are faced with.
In short, we should consciously cultivate our strong mental quality to conquer fear. In this way, we will be stronger.
