Dear Readers,
Thank you for your continued support of Worldpress. org. When World
Press Review magazine shut down in April 2004, and it became clear that the plug
would be pulled on the Web site as well, my company, All Media Inc.,
purchased the rights to Worldpress. org. Since then it has been a tough but
rewarding experience running the Web site.
When Worldpress. org first launched in 1997, we had 50 unique visitors.
Today we have over 140,000 unique visitors and 360,000 page views per month.
Our tremendous growth stands as testimony to the importance of presenting the
issues and debates from around the world.
Since our launch, Worldpress. org has published thousands of articles-from
daily news reports and analyses of ongoing political events, to essays on history,
social issues, and popular culture. Our unbiased(没有偏见的)reporting and our commitment to giving voice to the voiceless have won us international respect and recognition.
But respect and recognition is not why we do what we do.
Worldpress. org wants to continue bringing you news and views from around
the world, but these are difficult times. We need your help.
Although we feel uncomfortable asking for your assistance, the demise(转
让)of the magazine has taught us a valuable lesson: If our readers don't know
about our financial struggle, they can't help us meet our needs.
Worldpress. org depends upon consulting fees, advertising revenue, ancillary product sales and donations to ensure its success.
You can support Worldpress. org by visiting our site often and telling
everyone you know about us. The more visitors we have to the site, the better
our chances to continue our work.
You can also help support Worldpress. org by buying our products, using our services, and clicking on our advertisements.
Yet another way you can help support Worldpress. org is by making a
donation to our General Operations fund.
The demands of the current political situation face Worldpress. org with new responsibilities and ever-more challenging tasks. The wars in Iraq and
Afghanistan, the growing attacks on democratic rights, and the disturbing living
conditions of people around the world all play a huge part in why Worldpress. org
feels it must continue to give a voice to the mostly voiceless.
Again, thank you for your continued support.
Sincerely
Teri Schure
Founder

Elizabeth Bishop, who was famous for the poetry A Prodigal, Filline
Station , Sandpiper, Manuelzinho and so on, was an influential American poet of the 20th century. Her poetry often shows things that concerned her throughout her life, such as her search for a sense of home. Her troubled childhood and feelings of loneliness from this time affected her character and poetry.
Bishop's painful childhood is apparent in some of her poems. Her father died when she was eight months old and her mother was mad when she was five. Bishop was raised firstly by her mother's parents and then by her father's parents. This experience left her confused about belonging. She had no home
and this was shown in her poetry. In A Prodigal, when the character in the poem makes up his mind to go home, there is a sense of pessimism for Bishop who has no home. The lack of a sense of home has contributed to her depression all her life.
Bishop attempts to make small, everyday experiences extraordinary in her poems such as Filling Station .In Filling Station , Bishop describes the beauty of a family filling station. Although it is "dirty" there is order in it. Simple family
life is celebrated in it. She recognizes the value of home and beauty in everyday life, but she is only an observer of these. Distance remains between her and the family at the filling station.
Bishop's struggle to locate herself in the world is seen no more clearly than in Sandpiper. It deals with searching for something in a confusing world. She uses the metaphor of the bird which is "looking for something". The "something"
isn't specific. It seems as if the bird doesn't know what he wants; the only
certain thing is that he is searching.
Bishop's poems are personal on a more subtle level, especially when her childhood, travels, etc, are taken into consideration. It is believed that Bishop is
a complex poet who uses her poetry to find this feeling of belonging.
24. What do we know about Elizabeth Bishop's childhood?
A. She lived an unhappy life.
B. She was born poor.
C. Her grandparents treated her badly.
D. Her parents didn't love her.
25. Which of Bishop's poems shows her love for simple family life?
A. Sandpiper.
B. Filling Station.
C. Manuelzinho.
D. A Prodigal.
26. When reading Bishop's poems, people can find her search for
A. the feeling of belonging
B. a happy family life
C. parental love
D. the true nature of human being
27. Which of the following words can best describe Bishop?
A. Creative and determined.
B. Clever and strong.
C. Unfortunate but kind.
D. Gifted but pessimistic.
C
Instagram is a fast, beautiful and fun way to share your life with friends and family. Take a picture or video, choose a filter to transform its look and feel and then post it to Instagram-it's that easy. You can even share to Facebook,
Twitter and more. It's a new way to see the world. So many photos of food are contained on Instagram-now a pop-up diner in London is taking advantage of
this new trend by letting people settle the bill for their meals simply by uploading photos of their dishes to social networks.
I always thought people's taking pictures of their food was kind of silly, but at this new pop-up restaurant in the UK, I'd probably do it too. "The Picture House" is the world's first pay-by-photo restaurant-you order, click a photo of
the food, share on Instagram and eat for free!
The restaurant belongs to frozen food giant Birds Eye, who came up with the idea to cash in on people's addiction with photographing food and sharing
the pictures online. They conducted a survey and found out that more than half
of the British population regularly took pictures of their meals. So they realized
it was a better way to advertise their new dining range.
The pop-up diner was open in Soho, London for three days in May, and is now moving to other major UK cities. They serve two-course meals that customers don't have to pay for, if they photo and Instagram it.
The restaurant is a part of Birds Eye's "Food for Life" campaign, a new
marketing project that aims at changing the way people look at frozen food. "Taking photos of food enables people to show off and to share their mealtime moments-from the everyday to the special," said marketing director Margaret Jobling.
The reaction to The Picture House has been great so far. And the pay-by- picture concept has proven to be an effective way. Alternative payment methods are actually gaining popularity among a lot of businesses. Last year in a cafe in Germany customers pay by how much time they spend there, not by what they eat.
28. Instagram probably is
A. a restaurant free of charge
B. a program used to share photos
C. a campaign of "Food for Life"
D. a new marketing project
29. What's the author's attitude to this new trend?
A. Confused.
B. Unconcerned.
C. Interested.
D. Opposed.
30. "The Picture House" encourages sharing photos of its food to
A. raise the price of frozen food
B. create a new social media trend
C. attract more customers
D. reward the regular customers
31. Which of the following can serve as the best title for the passage?
A. The Pop-up Diner
B. Pay by Picture
C. No Need to Pay
D. Food for Life
D
Mammoths may return
Many of us remember being in awe(敬畏) when we saw cloned dinosaurs running wild in the film Jurassic Park. And the idea of using technology to revive (恢复) extinct (绝的) species has long fascinated not only writers and directors, but scientists as well.
According to The Telegraph, woolly mammoths (长毛猛犸象), which featured in the popular Ice Age animated movie series, "may walk the earth once more" now that scientists have taken another step toward realizing a long-held dream-recreating their DNA.
Mammoths became extinct around 10,000 years ago. However, since the discovery of near-perfect preserved remains in Arctic permafrost(北极冻土带) in May 2013, a variety of research studies have been carried out since.
Geneticists from Harvard University analyzed DNA from the remains, looking for genes which separated mammoths from elephants, such as hairiness and ear size. They then used the results to reproduce exact copies of 14 mammoth genes. "It is the first time that mammoth genes have been alive-although so far
it has only been done in the lab," George Church, lead researcher of the project, told the Sunday Times.
Church then used a new technique which allows scientists to edit DNA carefully, replacing sections of elephant DNA with the mammoth genes. So "we now have functioning(正常运行的) elephant cells with mammoth DNA in them," he said.
However, Church ruled out the possibility of bringing the mammoths back to life via cloning from frozen remains. He said he "preferred to focus on rebuilding the full mammoth genome by analyzing DNA from preserved remains and putting it into the cells of its closest living relative-the Asian elephant," reported The Telegraph.
Church argued that the return of the woolly mammoth-or rather, the
return of something very similar-could help bring back fragile（脆弱的）ecosystems. However, some scientists believe that bringing back the mammoth would be unethical.
Professor Alex Greenwood, an expert on ancient DNA, said: "We may face the extinction of African and Asian elephants. Why bring back another elephant from extinction when we cannot even keep the ones that are not extinct around?" he told the Sunday Times. "What is the message? We can be as irresponsible with the environment as we want. Then we'll just clone things back?"
¨Money would be better spent focusing on conserving what we do have than spending it on an animal that has been extinct for thousands of years," he said.
32. We can infer from the article that
A. scientific studies on mammoths didn't begin until May 2013
B. the technology to revive mammoth genes is already mature
C. Church and his team managed to list all the genes that separate
mammoths from elephants
D. George Church and his colleagues tried to reproduce mammoth DNA
33. According to Church, what is the significance of his study?
A. It could help prevent the extinction of the Asian elephant.
B. It could help bring back some extinct species and save fragile ecosystems.
C. It could help people better tell elephant DNA from mammoth genes.
D. It could help bring mammoths back to life via cloning from frozen
remains.
34. The underlined word "unethical" in Paragraph 7 is closest in meaning to
A. impractical
B. illegal
C. unacceptable
D. interesting
35. According to the article, Professor Alex Greenwood believes that
A. there is no need to worry about the extinction of African and Asian
elephants at present
B. it's necessary to bring back species that are beneficial to human beings
from extinction
C. it's more important to protect present species than to bring back extinct
ones
D. the return of the woolly mammoth would help to balance ecosystems

What's Great About School Stores?
We could go on and on regarding the benefits that come from running a
school store. But since you're just starting out, we'll give you 5 top reasons why
school stores are a great fit for so many students and teachers.
●36
What better place to sell school supplies than in school? Students who come
to class unprepared can purchase needed supplies rather than borrowing them
from other students or the teacher. 37 You're selling something fun that
everyone can use and everyone needs.
●Flexibility
A school store can be shaped to meet the needs of you, your school, and
your student customers. Operate the store only on the days and at the times
necessary. Sell the items your teachers request or survey students to find items
they like. Keep it simple or go big.____ 38
●Student Development It's never too early to start encouraging involvement within students. Working in the school store can help students to get involved and have an interest
in what is happening in their school. 39
●Education
Extend classroom learning into an interactive environment where students
can apply concepts learning to make change, take inventory（存货清单），
calculate tax, write a schedule, market a product, and be responsible!
●Efficiency
40 Provide a service that everyone needs while raising money. Or raise
funds while teaching students about how businesses work. Or do all of the above.

Having worked as captain of the lifeboat at Portland Bay in the north of
England for over thirty years now, I feel quite proud of my career. In my time,
I've rescued fishermen with broken-down boats, swimmers 61 (sweep) out
to sea and once even a pilot whose helicopter had developed engine 6 2
(fail)．
I've always been mad about the sea, and about the lifeboat. Both my father
and grandfather were volunteers on the lifeboat. 63 ,I'm the first one in the family to be captain. This means that different from my father and grandfather,
I work full-time at the lifeboat station. 64 rest of the crew are volunteers
65 (work) in other jobs locally. When the alarm goes, to signal a call-out,
the crew members must drop whatever they 66 (do) and report for duty
67 (immediate)-we can be out on the water within a few minutes of the
alarm sounding.
The coastline here can be one of the 68 (bad) places in England. When
the wind is in the east, the waves can be huge and there are a lot of rocks just
beneath the surface of the water, 69 makes it a dangerous place for shipping. But the sea feels 70 a home for me-it's where I belong, in spite
of its dangers.
