1.Shopping is one of the best ways to relax after a stressful week.Nothing is more satisfying than finding a perfect item -- and when I' m bored with shopping for clothes I move on to make-up and shoes.I never shop in sales -- the reason the items haven' t sold at full price is usually because they are badly made or horrible colours.
--Blanca I hate shopping and it bores me enormously.I really cannot understand such a useless and expensive habit.I only shop for clothes when I can' t get out of it and when I do,I make sure I buy good quality and as much as I can afford,to put off having to go again for as long as possible.I have friends who will spend a Whole day going from shop to shop trying on lots of different clothes and not buying anything.That's really stupid.
--Pam I can' t see the point in spending a lot of money on clothes,when they are so much cheaper abroad.I do most of my shopping when I go on holiday,and get great clothes for half the price.I love finding bargains!I also buy a lot in sales.The clothes may be out of fashion a bit,but they' re good quality,and if you wait long enough,they come back into fashion!
--Meghan I personally still spend half of my wage on clothes.I usually only ever wear something three times before I throw it in the back of my wardrobe (衣櫥).I never wear a party dress more than once.If I lost my job and couldn't afford to buy lots of clothes,I would never be able to go out of the house again.
--Shelly

2.At the age of 16,Julia Butterfly Hill quit school and worked at a restaurant.For many years,she was only interested in making money and material things.Then one day she had a serious car accident,which changed her life.Hill said: "I realized I wanted to find a more powerful purpose for being here on this planet."
As soon as she recovered,Hill traveled to California.There she saw ancient redwood trees,which are the largest trees in the whole world.The wood from redwood trunks is very hard.So the Pacific Lumber Company cut down many of the huge redwoods to use for construction.There are not many forests of these trees left.Many environmental activists want to protect the remaining trees.The redwoods are very important to the environment.
In 1997 Hill learned a group called Earth First was working to protect a particular group of trees.They decided to send someone up into a redwood tree,hoping this would stop the company from cutting the trees down.Julia Butterfly Hill volunteered.
Hill lived in the tree for over two years without ever coming down.Her home was a 6-by-8-foot tree house,180 feet up.It is always cold and wet in a redwood tree.There were even very serious winter storms while Hill was in the tree.The wind and cold almost knocked Hill out of the tree.But she did not fall — she survived.
Finally,after years of arguing,the company decided to protect Luna,the tree Hill lived in.They signed an agreement to never cut down this huge redwood tree or the trees around it.When Hill put her feet on the earth again,she began to cry.But from that moment on Hill hasn't stopped working to protect the environment.

3.The British Government has decided to spend £1.5 million translating the complete works of Shakespeare into Chinese.The project will be delivered by the Royal Shakespeare Company,who has also received government funding for a tour of China.
The plays and poetry of William Shakespeare are arguably England's greatest cultural treasure.Every schoolchild studies his work,and he is considered to be the greatest Englishman to ever use a pen.Until the 20th century though,Shakespeare was almost unknown in China.The new translations and accompanying tour will bring Shakespeare to a wider audience in China.What,though,do those from the land of Shakespeare's birth feel about their government sponsoring this project?
Only a very few were angry about this use of taxpayers' money,with most expressing pride that "their" playwright was to be presented again in the world's most spoken language.However,there are some huge challenges involved in translating Shakespeare into Chinese.
The first translations of Shakespeare into Chinese were by Lin Shu (1852-1924).They were not direct translations,but taken from a children's book of prose (散文) adaptations of Shakespeare's stories.The first Chinese encounters (相遇) with Shakespeare were therefore not with the verse (韻文) of his plays but the stories and characters in a simplified format.
The influence of Shakespeare's storylines has definitely been greater than that of his language.Shakespeare's language does not easily submit to translation.Many of the words,figures of speech and references are too archaic (古體的) to be understood even by native English speakers.Much of Shakespeare is written in verse limited by rhythm and rhyme.This is particularly difficult when translating into Chinese.
Besides,Shakespeare's "History Plays" present a different challenge to the Chinese translator.As dramatizations of real historical events,these plays require the translator to have a thorough knowledge of British history.Meanwhile,Shakespeare's comedic moments are often based on puns (雙關(guān)語(yǔ)).These are really difficult to translate directly.
(1)What can we learn about the complete works of Shakespeare?
A.They mainly focus on British history.
B.They are worth about £1.5 million.
C.They will all be adapted for plays.
D.They will be shared more widely.
(2)How do most people from Shakespeare's homeland feel about the government's decision?
A.Upset.
B.Worried.
C.Uncaring.
D.Favorable.
(3)What were the first Chinese translations of Shakespeare based on?
A.Original plays.
B.Incomplete editions.
C.Simplified stories.
D.Orally told stories.
(4)The last two paragraphs mainly tell us translating Shakespeare into Chinese
A.is no easy task
B.is a waste of time
C.is very interesting
D.is useful for English learners組卷:1引用:2難度:0.6
