A Strange Greeting, a True Feeling
Last week I was invited to a doctor’s meeting at the Ruth hospital for incurables. In one of the wards a patient, an old man, got up shakily from his bed and moved towards me. I could see that he hadn’t long to __1__, but he came up to me and placed his right foot close mine on the floor.

Ⅲ.阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40）
(A)
Having finished her homework, Ma Li wants some music for relaxation. As usual, she starts her computer and goes to Baidu. com to download music files. But this time she is surprised when an announcement about protecting songs’ copyright bursts onto the screen.
The age of free music and movie downloads may have come to an end as Web companies like Baidu are accused of infringing(侵犯) copyright. This month lawsuits(诉讼) have been filed against four websites offering free downloads.
In September, the Beijing court ordered Baidu to pay recording company Shanghai Push for their losses. Baidu were also told to block the links to the pirated music on the website. This caused a heated discussion on Internet file sharing.
“Baidu’s defeat in the lawsuit shows it is not right to get copyrighted songs without paying. Downloaders may face lawsuits or fines,” said an official from the Guangdong Provincial Press and Publication Administration.
Like many teens, Huang Ruoru, an 18-year-old girl from Puning in Guangdong Province, doesn’t think that getting music from websites is wrong. She always shares her favourite songs downloaded from Baidu with her friends. When told about the lawsuit, she began to feel a little sorry about getting others’ work without paying.
But she said that the wish of file sharing is too convenient to pass up.“Buying CDs is too expensive for students,” she said. “I don’t know what I will do now. It’s really terrible if my only choices are radio and television.”
However, other teenagers have different ideas. Wang Yafei, a Senior 2 girl from Jinan, Shandong Province, pointed out that file sharing is a good way to promote pop singers. “If I download a song and really like it, I will buy the CD,” she said. “So what the recording companies really should do is improving their music, rather than fighting against file-sharers.”
1. The underlined phrase “pass up” in Paragraph 6 can be replaced by “____”.
A. resist B. stop C. upload D. download
2. What’s the main idea of this passage? ____.
A. Baidu are accused of infringing copyright and was defeated
B. It’s not right to get copyrighted songs without paying
C. Recording companies should try to improve their music
D. People have different ideas about file sharing
3. According to the passage, people like to download music largely
because ____.
A. it’s convenient
B. it’s free of charge
C. CDs are too expensive
D. it is a good way to promote pop singers
4. What can you infer from this passage? ____.
A. People will have to pay for downloading music
B. More and more websites will stop downloading music
C. Recording companies’ music is not as good as that on the Internet
D. Baidu will pay Shanghai Push for their losses

On average, American kids aged 3 to 12 spent 29 hours a week in school, eight hours more than they did in 1981. They also did more household work and participated in more of such organized activities as soccer and ballet. Involvement in sports, in particular, rose almost 50% from 1981 to 1997: boys now spend an average of four hours a week playing sports; girls log half that time. All in all, however, children’s leisure time dropped from 40% of the day in 1981 to 25%.
“Children are affected by the same time crisis that affects their parents,” says Sandra Hofferth, who headed the recent study of children’s timetable. A chief reason, she says, is that more mothers are working outside the home. (Nevertheless, children in both double-income and “male breadwinner” households spent comparable amounts of time interacting(互相影响) with their parents 19 hours and 22 hours respectively(各自). In contrast, children spent only 9 hours with their single mothers.)
All work and no play could make for some very messed up kids. “Play is the most powerful way a child explores the world and learns about himself,” says T. Berry Brazelton, professor at Harvard Medical School. Unstructured play encourages independent thinking and allows the young to negotiate their relationships with their peers, but kids aged 3 to 12 spent only 12 hours a week engaged in it.
9. Jason went down the cliff because ____.
A. Alexis took a wrong path B. Alexis was trapped in rocks
C. Alexis didn’t believe in herself D. Alexis’ forearms were badly hurt
10. We can infer from the passage that ____.
A. Alexis was finally pulled up by Ed
B. Alexis regretted having taken the wrong path up the cliff
C. Alexis was immediately sent to hospital after she was pulled up
D. Alexis successfully rock-climbed
11. The underlined word “hot” in the story means ____.
A. disappointed B. angry
C. uncomfortable D. running a high body temperature
12. Alexis would probably become ____.
A. more strong-minded B. easier to give up
C. poorer in health D. less interested in rock-climbing

Fidenzio Salvatori is determined that the city of Toronto will have an outdoor marketplace for merchants from its immigrant community, complete with dancing and other forms of amusement from their native countries. “Toronto is truly multicultural(多元文化的)，” he said in a newspaper interview. “It’s a city from many places, and a multicultural marketplace will help Torontonians to understand and appreciate the rich variety of cultural groups in our city.”
Salvatori, aged 23, will soon complete his studies at the University of Toronto. He was eleven years old when he came to Canada from Italy with his parents. “Most of Toronto’s immigrants are from lands where the marketplace has always been part of daily life,” he said.
Salvatori has been interested in getting an open-air market for Toronto for the last three years. This year, with the help of two fellow students, he prepared a proposal on the subject and presented it to the city’s Executive Committee, asking for their support. The proposal pointed out Toronto’s rich variety of national groups, “whose customs include market shopping.”
Under a Canadian government program for multiculturalism, the three students have received two thousand dollars with which they will do a study to find out whether Toronto’s immigrant businessmen would support an open-air market. They hope the merchants will support the plan strongly. “A study done earlier this year showed that 90 percent of shoppers would be in favor of it,” Salvatori said. “At first it would be an experiment. But we think it will prove to be good business for the merchants, as well as a tourist attraction.”
13. What is Fidenzio Salvatori’s purpose of having an outdoor marketplace for Toronto? ____.
A. To provide different forms of amusement
B. To keep the cultural variety of the city
