FUN WITH COOKIE
Paul: “I have been working for this company for ten years, however they chose the new guy for promotion (升职) over me.”
Julia: “Well, that’s just the way the cookie breaks into pieces.”
This is an informal expression that means bad things happen in life and there is nothing you can really do to prevent it. It’s not worth getting sad; you should just try and accept it calmly.
Of course in the UK we would generally use the word “biscuit” instead of cookie when talking about those hard baked, sweet, flat cakes which are so popularly eaten with a cup of tea. Cookie is originally a Dutch term meaning little cake and has spread to the United States because of immigration (移民) from Holland.
Also in the US we can find “fortune cookies” which are usually served with Chinese food. However they are almost unknown in mainland China and were invented in California by Asian immigrants. They are crisp cookies with pieces of paper inside, on which are written clever sayings, prophecies (预言) or words of wisdom.
A Cookie in computing is a collection of information which is used by websites to know users who have visited the site before. They are stored on your computer when you use the Internet, and also you will find the websites you used easily.

Biscuit and cookie is just one example of the difference between British and American words.

Simon's marks have been very high this year. I have been quite pleased with his work. Although he didn't do very well in Form 4, he seems to find Form 5 much easier. He is highly motivated (动机强烈的). I think his excellent performance (表现) is probably because of part of the support (支持) he gets from his parents, who take a lot of interest in his schoolwork and always help him with his homework.
However, Simon doesn't care much for sports and hardly takes part in after-school activities. He is rather shy and finds it difficult to make friends at school. I wish Simon would put as much effort (努力) into his social life as he does into his studies.
1.Which Form is Simon in this year?
A.Three. B.Four. C.Five. D.Six.

With only fish and birds for company, Eric Erden has been rowing across the Pacific Ocean to Australia in his 23-foot-long boat since he left California on July 10, 2009.
But crossing the Pacific is only part of his incredible journey. Eric has decided to go all the way around the world using only his own energy. He will row, bike, and walk without help from any motors at all. Oh, and his plan includes climbing the tallest peak on six of the continents along the way, to honour the memory of a fellow climber.
He says he is doing this to show kids that they can achieve any goal, but he hopes to have some great adventures along the way.
As a solo traveller, Eric has already faced disappointments and challenges. Because he has to row about ten hours a day, he brought along an MP3 player to listen to music and pass the time. Unfortunately, the nearly daily tropical rain for several months has forced him to keep his player packed away where it's safe and dry.
Storms and huge wave wind regularly force him in the wrong direction and even threaten to overturn his boat. “Sometimes I really feel scared,” says a somewhat embarrassed Eric. “But that’s all part of the journey. I knew this wouldn’t be easy when I started. That's why I gave myself two years to finish.”
Protein bars（蛋白棒） give him energy, and he boils water to heat freeze-dried meals on a one-burner stove. A solar-powered machine removes salt from ocean water so he can drink it, but only when the sun shines. When that fails he sometimes tries to collect rainwater in buckets.
He’s not bothered by any of the hardships. Eric sees the world as a laboratory where there is much to learn. And when his trip around the world takes him across land, he enjoys meeting people - especially children. He has already visited several schools and shared his story.
1.Why is Eric making this trip?
A. To encourage children to reach for their goal.
B. To learn more about the world around us.
C. To have many great adventures in strange lands.
D. To honour the memory of a fellow climber.
2.What does Eric plan to do on each of the six continents he will visit?
A. Visit schools to share his story.
B. Study the culture of the local people.
C. Climb the tallest mountain.
D. Cycle from one end to the other.
3.When does Eric expect to finish his journey?
A. July 2009. B. June 2010.
C. January 2011. D. July 2011.
4.Which of the following words best describes Eric’s character?
A. Determined. B. Intelligent.
C. Fearless. D. Lonely.
