At this time, the cost is $ 200, 000 per flight, but it is expected that the cost will soon come down. It is estimated that by 2025 about 15,000 people will fly into space every year.No doubt these advances will lead to new extreme sports for brave people to try. By 2025 a famous actress that wants to give her career a boost might try to ride a surfboard (冲浪板) in space, through the atmosphere, and then sail past a beach in California before landing on the nearby ocean, and then surf back to the beach. The surfboard will be extra large, and it can control weather.At the start of the flight, she will have to wear a space outfit and be strapped onto the surfboard which will act as protection. But as it gets lower in height and it becomes warmer, she can start taking off her clothes. The world’s media will watch and report on every move as she throws each piece away, and watch as the pieces quickly burn up. As she gets lower and glides the surfboard over to the beach near Los Angeles, she will get rid of the rest. So she will be wearing a bikini as she glides in and lands on the ocean and then goes on to surf into the beach.The only foreseeable problem with this extreme sport is that a day will have to be found in which there isn’t too much garbage in the ocean.1. What’s the best title of the passage?A. Surf in space.B. Space tourism.C. Family life in the space.D. Space environment.2. The actress will try the extreme sportto .A. become famous overnightB. improve her careerC. experience funD. find her boyfriend3. Which of the following statements is TRUE aboutthe surfboard?A. It’s very small.B. It’s extremely heavy.C. It can’t control the weather.D. It can protect the actress.BDo you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive (欺骗)? When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important information that should be included, he can give you a false picture.For example, someone might say, “I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery (彩票). It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!”This guy’s a winner, right? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought $200 worth of tickets, and only one was a winner. He’s really a big loser!He didn’t say anything that was false, but he left out important information on purpose. That’s called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.Some politicians often use this trick. Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she seeks another term. One of her opponents(对手) says, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state lost one million jobs!”That’s true. However, an honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state had a net gain of two million jobs.”Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths. It’s against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead you with the truth. An advertisement might say, “Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache.” It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company.This kind of deception happens too often. It’s a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.4. How much did the lottery winner lose?A. One hundred dollars.B. Two hundred dollars.C. Three hundred dollars.D. Four hundred dollars.5. We may infer that the author believes peopleshould __ _____.A. buy lottery tickets if possibleB. make use of half-truthsC. be careful about what they are toldD. not trust the Yucky Company6.

Using half-truths is against the law.B. Technically, half-truths are in fact lies.C. Yucky Pills is a very good medicine for toothache.D. Governor Smith did a good job during her lastterm.CThe best way of learning a language is using it. The best way of learning English is talking in English as much as possible. Sometimes you’ll get your words mixed up (混合) and people will not understand you. Sometimes people will say things too quickly and you can’t understand them. But if you keep your sense of humor, you can always have a good laugh at the mistakes you make. Don’t be unhappy if people seem to be laughing at your mistakes.

They say that in a film or on TV we may see elephants, or monkeys, dogs, bears, or other animals doing a lot of things. If you watch carefully, you may find that those animals are always given something to eat in return for doing them. The scientists say that many different animals may be taught to do a number of simple jobs if they know they will get something in return.Of course, as we know, dogs can be used to guard houses, and elephants can be used to do some heavy jobs. And we can also teach animals to work in factories.
