Zombies（僵尸） are real! You meet them every day on the sidewalk． They walk slowly， with their heads down and they will not look at you． They are living in a different world， a world of the mobile phone!
Many people are complaining（抱怨） about these mobile phone zombies because they walk slowly， making it difficult for other people to use the sidewalk． Chongqing and a few other cities have come up with an idea to try to solve the problem． They've divided up sidewalks into lanes（线路）：one lane for mobile﹣zombies and one lane for everyone else． The experiment hasn't worked out too well， since most mobile﹣zombies don't even notice the lanes．
I have another suggestion for the problem． In Shanghai， we have blind paths． They are made of small raised tiles（凸起的瓷砖）that help blind people follow a straight line． Perhaps the same way could be used for mobile﹣zombies． A lane with a rough surface would allow people to concentrate on their mobile phones and still know they are walking in a straight line． Of course， I have a further suggestion． At the end of the lane would be a large hole where all the mobile﹣zombies would disappear into the center of the earth!
Well， I don't think my suggestion is going to be taken， but I don't think special lanes for mobile﹣zombies will work， either． I think it's just a better idea to remind（提醒） people that sidewalks are shared space and they should think of others when they are using their mobile phones．
（1）According to the passage， who are mobile phone zombies？
A． The people who always look here and there on the road．
B． The people who always play with mobile phones on the road．
C． The people who hate using mobile phones when they are walking on the road．
（2）Why has not the lane for mobile﹣zombies in Chongqing worked out well？
A． Because it is too expensive to walk on the lanes．
B． Because there are so few lanes in Chongqing．
C． Because few mobile﹣zombies notice the lanes in fact．
（3）The underlined word "rough" in Paragraph 3means " " in Chinese．
A． 粗糙的
B． 光滑的
C． 漂亮的
（4）Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？
A． Shanghai has also built lanes for the mobile﹣zombies．
B． The writer's suggestion for the mobile﹣zombies was taken．
C． Mobile﹣zombies should think of others on the road．
（5）The passage may come from ．
A． a story

Nearly half of elementary and high schools in the US use the Presidential Fitness Test．It checks kids’ fitness levels．Students are tested at least twice a year．In 1956, US President Eisenhower created the test, and it has been a tradition in schools since 1966．
There are five activities in the test: sit-ups(仰卧起坐), push-ups(俯卧撑), sit and reach, endurance run or walk and shuttle run(折返跑)．Students who get scores at or above 85 percent on all the activities can get a Presidential Physical Fitness Award．

However, unlike students in the US who get awards, Chinese students get points in PE tests．The highest score is 100．For junior school students, the PE test is more important because it is worth 30 to 40 points in the entrance exam for senior high school．In order to get a good score, most students begin to prepare for the test in their junior one year．Who can get a Presidential Physical Fitness Award?

Jane Austen (1775-1817), an English novelist, started writing young and completed six novels in her life．Today Austen’s books are more popular than ever．In the last 10 years, five of her six novels have been made into Hollywood films, while her books continue to be best-sellers．
Richard Jenkyns, a professor of English at Oxford University, says that her novels are about marriage, friendships and the family, which are still with us today．“The stories are timeless,” Jenkyns said．
Pride and Prejudice(偏见)(1813) is Austen’s most famous work．It is a love story about Elizabeth Bennet and Mr．Darcy．At first, these two dislike each other．Elizabeth is pretty, smart and lively．She is proud because Darcy doesn’t know about her family．Mr．Darcy is handsome, rich and has a better family background．So, he is proud as well．At the same time, Darcy holds a prejudice against the Bennet family．He has no understanding of why the family, especially its mother and daughters should try so hard to find wealthy and powerful husbands．He thinks they are vulgar．Anyway, Elizabeth and Darcy finally fall in love and become a romantic couple(夫妻) but their families don’t want them to．
In Pride and Prejudice, some of the main things that Jane Austen wants to teach people are as follows．Opposites can attract（吸引） each other．Lovers should not only make each other feel relaxed or comfortable, but also educate and improve each other．
Austen os often called the greatest romantic writer, so it is surprising she remained unmarried．‘Maybe she was too romantic, waiting for the perfect man,” Jenkyns says．From Paragraph 1and Paragraph 2,we can know_________．

A
As a child, I was really afraid of the dark and of getting lost．These fears were very real and caused me some uncomfortable moments.
Maybe it was the strange way things looked and sounded in my own room at night that scared (使惊恐) me so much．There was never complete darkness, but always a streetlight or passing car lights, which made clothes on the back of a chair take on the shape of a wild animal．Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the curtains (窗帘) seem to move when there was no wind．A very low sound in the floor would seem a hundred times louder than in the day．My imagination would run wild, and my heart would beat fast．I would lie very still so that the “enemy” would not discover me.
Another of my childhood fears was that I would get lost, especially on the way home from school．Every morning I got on the school bus right near my home．That was no problem．After school, though, when all the buses were lined up along the street, I was afraid that I would get in the wrong one and be taken to some other strange places．On school or family trips to a park or a museum, I wouldn’t let the leaders out of my sight.
Perhaps one of the worst fears of all I had as a child was that of not being liked or accepted by others．Being popular was so important t o me then, and the fear of not being liked was a serious one.
One of the processes (过程) about growing up is being able to realize and overcome (克服) our fears．Understanding the things that scared us as children helps us achieve greater success later in life.________would scare the writer at night.
| A．Streetlight and car lights |
| B．Wild animals and enemies |
| C．Moving curtains and wind |
| D．Strange sights and sounds |

| A．walk away without others |
| B．take a bus by herself |
| C．follow others closely |
| D．make sure not to take a wrong bus |

| B．She was always the leader of the others. |
| C．She always got poor grades. |
| D．She was not at all liked by others. |

Street Markets Around the World
There are many ways of shopping．You can shop by telephone, by post or through your home computer, but for many people, the most exciting way to shop is also the most traditional—at a street market．You can find markets anywhere in the world．Here are four of them:
There are many “floating markets” in Asia; perhaps the most unusual(非同寻常) is in Thailand(泰国), at a place called Damned Saduak．It’s open from six in the morning to the noon every day．People sell fresh fruit from their boats.
Many Belgians(比利时人) say that the Grand Place is the most beautiful square in the world．It’s the home of a colorful flower market．It’s open every day except(除了) Monday．On Monday, instead of(替代) flowers, there’s a wonderful bird market.
One of the world’s famous markets is in Mexico City(墨西哥城)—the Sonora Market．You can buy toys, birds, herbs(草本) and medicine．There’re all kinds of things．It’s open every day from early in the morning till late at night.
In England, on Saturday and Sunday thousands of young people from all over London travel to the Camden Market—it’s the place to go for street fashion, CDs and tapes．Many people also go there for fun.
